PREVIEW A competitive fall brings success to the horizon for the Cats in 2010
4
Internal competition was the story for the Wildcats this fall as coach Kristi Knight fielded a different lineup all five events. Each week of an event brought a strong showing in qualifying rounds at Colbert Hills across a roster that brought back everyone from last year’s squad and added two highly competitive freshmen.
“This team has shown that they can shoot even or under par whether it is in tournaments or qualifying rounds. So it is there, but what we have to minimize the scores of 82 and 83 when things aren’t going well,” Knight said. “Golf is not about being perfect, but it is about how good you are on a bad day.”
The competition brought steady improvement with the team showing an eight-stroke improvement from the fall of 2008.
Thought the fall competitive season ended in late October, the ladies continued to swing the clubs in throughout November. The extra practice they put in during the off-season will look to pay off this spring.
“Every lady that competed this fall improved their stroke average from the fall of 2008 to the fall of 2009,” Knight said. “That is a big plus for us,” said Knight.
2009-10 Spring Schedule Mar. 7-9
K-State’s top two events came at its home event, the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational, where the Wildcats placed third out of 13 teams, and the Price’s Give’em Five Intercollegiate, where they placed seventh of 18 teams. In both events, the Wildcats defeated multiple teams who were ranked higher in the polls at the time. In K-State’s only home event, the Wildcats were able to provide a strong showing for their local supporters. Carding 329 and a 313 in the first two rounds, followed by a 305 in the third and final round, K-State finished third overall at 947 (+83). It was the best finish in the event since 2005 when the Cats also placed third. The best scoring output came in Las Cruces, N.M., at the Price’s Give’em Five where K-State shot a three-round score of 900 (+36), including a season-low second-round of 295, which surged the Wildcats into the to top half of the leaderboard where they. The Wildcats finished up the fall season in Kiawah Island, S.C., at the Palmetto Intercollegiate. The first two rounds were promising as the Cats shot a 304 in both rounds, but the third round brought a score of 313 to drop them to 11th place.

thing she does and sometimes she is guilty of pressing a bit. When she is patient and in the moment she has shown she can score well in any conditions,” said Knight. Morgan Moon Moon continued to improve from year-in and year-out, and this fall didn’t prove any different. The Amarillo, Texas, product owned the best fall stroke average on the team at 77.08, nearly three strokes better than last fall. Moon tallied a 21over 237, en route to a 20th place finish at the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational, her best of the fall. Her best score of the fall season came at the Price’s Give’em Five Intercollegiate, where she carded an 8-over par, to put her in a tie for 23rd. “I am really pleased and proud of Morgan’s improvement. She has worked diligently to get into the lineup and has become a much more patient golfer which has led to lower scores,” said Knight. Juniors Elise Houtz Elise competed well in the first two events of the fall season, posting career bests in both tournaments. In the Chip-N-Club Invitational, Houtz shot a 54-hole score of 226, the lowest of her career. Elise backed that performance up with the lowest round of her career, shooting an even-par 72 at the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational. In the same event, Houtz earned her best finish of her career when she tied for 14th. “Elise is a great team leader by example,” said Knight. “Elise stepped up big by playing great golf last spring at the Big 12 Championship and we will look for that again this spring. It would not surprise me if she bested her scores in the spring of 2010.”
“Abbi Finished the fall strong playing very solid golf in five of her last six rounds. The key for Abbi is to stay in the present and not get ahead of herself on the course. She gives great effort to every-
K-State
PREVIEW Emily Houtz Emily finished the fall season with a 3.8-stroke improvement from a year ago. Her great fall came on the heels of a stellar summer where she finished in the top eight at the Western Amateur in Lima, Ohio. She backed that up with a second place finish at the Kansas Amateur in Hutchinson, Kan. Emily shot her best score in the first event of the fall at the Chip-N-Club Invitational where she carded an 18-over par 234, putting her in a tie for 41st.
“Paige is one to look out for this spring,” said Knight. “She had a very demanding academic schedule in the fall being a civil engineering major so her extra time was limited. She has used the off-season time to get some extra practice and she will benefit from a lighter class load this spring. She is full of positive energy no matter what is going on and the team loves her for that.”
“Whitney came in with very limited tournament experience, so I am very pleased with what she has shown,” said Knight. “She loves to play golf and compete and she has been a great addition to our team.” Hanna Roos In Roos’ first collegiate competition, she tied for seventh place and shot a 15-over par 231. The Swede would lead the Wildcats in the very next event as well, carding a 21-over par 237, tying for 45th.
“Emily is starting to see the benefits of her time spent on the Colbert Hills practice facilities. She took a step forward this summer with an elite eight appearance at the Women’s Western Amateur and a second-place finish at the Kansas Women’s Amateur,” said Knight.
“Hanna has been a tremendous addition to our team,” said Knight. “She always seems to have a smile on her face and she will continue to be a positive impact for this team.”
Sophomores Ami Storey Storey recorded a career best 54-hole score of 223 at the Price’s Give’em Five Intercollegiate giving her a tie for 14th, also a career best. “Ami may have shown the biggest improvement on the team this fall,” said Knight. “She was very much in transition last year, with adjusting to being away from England. Now she is more at ease and has more energy and focus for golf. She played very will at Nebraska and New Mexico and I am confident there will be more performances like those and better.”
then on. She went on to card a 79 in the second round backed by a 78 in the third and final round placing her in a tie for 33rd.
Paige Osterloo
Laura Hildenbrandt “We are using this season as a red-shirt year for Laura,” said Knight. “She was not quite 100% from her injury when the season started and we did not want to rush her recovery. It also provides an opportunity for our freshmen to get more playing time this year. Next year it will benefit us to have her back full strength.” Freshmen Kristen Dorsey Due to an injury, Dorsey was away from the game for almost a year and half. The Florida native was finally able to get on the course at a more consistent basis late in the summer of 2009. Kristen got her first taste of collegiate competition at the home event where she tied for 56th.
The spring season will tee off at the Eagle Landing Invitational in Orange Park, Fla., at the Oakleaf Plantation Golf Course, March 7-9. Coach Knight will look for tough competition throughout the spring season and she will expect competition during qualifying rounds as well. “We need some people to step up and take ownership of the lineup,” said Knight. “I am confident that I have a roster full of young ladies that want to be the No. 1 player and break out from the field. The bulk of the team consists of freshmen and sophomores, and the fact that everyone competed this fall is a good thing.” Improvement was big in the fall season and the Cats will look to take the next step as they work deeper into the spring. “It is going to be a competitive spring and the ladies understand that and more importantly they are not afraid of it.”
“I am very pleased for Kristen as a young lady,” said Knight. “She had a rough freshman year with a significant injury. She has worked very hard to get back. Kristen showed flashes of her pre-injury game and the end of the fall season.” Amy Storey
Paige Osterloo Osterloo finished the fall season with more than a 1.5-stroke improvement from a year ago. The sophomore’s best outing of the fall came at the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational where she finished 13th and shot a 17-over par 233.
Whitney Pyle Pyle came into the collegiate game with very little competition experience. The inexperience was quickly put to the test as she qualified to play in the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational, just the second event of the fall season. The Kansan struggled in her first collegiate round, shooting a 13-over par 85, but showed improvement from

INTERNATIONAL INFLUENCE The international influence has played a big part in K-State’s lineup over the last two years and this season’s team proves to be no different. Laura Hildenbrandt, Hanna Roos and Ami Storey all bring talent from international borders to this year’s team. During the fall, Roos and Storey competed in eight events and each collected a top-15 finish. The demand for international players has grown tremendously and coach Knight has recognized that trend. “Today in women’s golf, I think you have to recruit internationally. If not, you are disregarding a significant portion of the talent pool. You can either play with them or against them,” said Knight. A native of Woodlands Park, United Kingdom, Storey made her mark at K-State early in her career. The sophomore has registered three top-20 Ami Storey - United Kingdom finishes, her best coming last fall at the Price’s Give’em Five Intercollegiate when she tied for 14th. Her success at K-State was carried over from her success in the UK where she was a junior country match and stroke play champion from 2004-06 and a match play champion again in 2008. In addition, she was the 2006 Britian County Champion, which made her the youngest winner in the tournament’s 75-year history. Perhaps the most prestigious finish of her career came at last season’s Big 12 Championship where she finished in a tie for 20th, helping the team to a fourth place finish in the conference. Roos didn’t waste anytime making an impact in K-State’s lineup as she led the Wildcats in the season’s second event with a seventh-place finish in the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational. Roos conitinued to lead the Wildcats in the Johnie Imes Intercollegiate when she shot a 54hole score of 237 (+21). Roos came to the United States from Uppsala, Sweden, where she participated in the Skandia Tour Elite, the highest level for junior golfers in Sweden. The Swede ranked first in the Order of Merit on the 2008 Upland Tour and helped the Uppsala Golf Club’s junior team to a fourthplace ranking out of 323 teams in Sweden. Hanna’s sister Maria, plays golf at Mississippi State.

Coming from the neighbor to the north, Hildenbrandt competed in all five fall tournaments of her freshman year. The Canadian carded the Hanna Roos - Sweden best finish thus far in her career at the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational where she tied for 20th. Hildenbrandt was unable to compete in the following spring due to injury and has chosen to use her redshirt year this season. In Canada, Hildenbrandt won over 40 individual, team and tour victories and set two different course records when she was 14. Hildenbrandt was a 2005 Bronze medalist as a member of the GOA Team Ontario at the RCGA Canadian Jr. Girls Championship. As a senior at Ancaster High School, she won four individual championships. The playing season in America is much longer than Ami, Hanna and Laura are used to from back home. That, combined with another large incentive makes the decision to come to America much easier. “Our system of college athletics is unique. There is really nothing like it. Ami, Laura and Hanna all wanted the opportunity to get a good education, develop their game and compete at a high level. K-State gives them that opportunity,” said Knight. The change in food, language, customs and television are just some of the challenges that International players face. They have a lot to understand and adjust to but their American born teammates do everything they can to make it easier. Laura Hildenbrandt - Canada
“It also gives the American born players insight into another country and culture. Our team loves food and most like to cook. Ami, Laura and Hanna have all shared food items from their native countries. The Swedish chocolate bars are pretty darn good.”

FALL RESULTS and I am proud of how they competed.” Missouri continued their success with a final round score of 288 (E), giving the Tigers first place with a three-round total of 878. Amy Anderson from North Dakota State topped all individuals with a final round score of 69 (-3) to finish the tournament 6-under par 210.
Chip-N-Club Invitational LINCOLN, Neb. – Elise Houtz continued to lead Kansas State as the Wildcats finished seventh in the Chip-N-Club Invitational at Wilderness Ridge Golf Course. K-State shot a 306 (+18) and finished seventh overall out of 14 teams, one spot better than last year’s event. “We just did not make many birdies,” said head coach Kristi Knight. “For some, the ball striking was not as solid has it has been. The ladies had stretches of solid golf but just didn't put an entire round together. It was a better result than we had on this course a year ago
Marilynn Smith/ Sunflower Invitational MANHATTAN, Kan. – Hanna Roos shot a final round score of 75 to propel Kansas State to a third place finish in the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational, its only home competition of the year.
Finishing in a tie for 17th, Elise Houtz started the round with four bogeys on her first five holes, but then shot 1-under par on the next 10 holes to keep her in the top 20. The junior finished with a three-round score of 226 (+10), which was four strokes better than she did last season on the same course. Her 17thplace finish is the second lowest of her career as a Wildcat. Sophomore Amy Storey shot the lowest K-State score in the third round with a 3-over par 75, missing the top 20 by just three strokes. Storey managed three birdies in the round and finished with three-round score 229 (+13). She shaved six strokes off of her score a year ago at the invitational.
Abbi Sunner couldn’t drop in enough birdies to get going as she finished her final round with 78 (+6), tying for 38th. Emily Houtz rounded out the top five for the Wildcats with a 5-over par 77 in the final round. The final 18 proved to be her best round of the invite, which gave her a three-round score of 234, finishing in a tie for 41st. Sophomore Paige Osterloo, who competed as an individual, finished with a score of 24-over par which placed her in a tie for 55th.

Going into the final round, K-State trailed third-place team Illinois State by four strokes. Roos and Abbi Sunner were able to birdie the par-5 16th to bring the Wildcats to within one stroke of the Cardinals. Roos birdied again, along with fellow freshman Whitney Pyle, on the par-4 4th to overcome Illinois State by one stroke. The third-place finish was the best finish in the event since 2005.
K-State’s White Team finished seventh after a finalround score of 304. Its three-round total was 960 (+96), which nearly caught Big 12-foe Kansas who scored a 954.
A native of Sweden, Roos impressed in her first collegiate competition. She totaled three birdies in the final round to give her a score of 3-over par and a threeround total of 231 (+15). Roos’ performance earned her a tie for seventh place.
Following closely behind Osterloo was junior Elise Houtz. Houtz shot the best round for the Wildcats on the day with a final round 72 (E), which put her in a tie for 14th. Houtz totaled two birdies and one eagle on the back nine and finished with a three-round score of 234 (+18).
Leading the Wildcats along with Roos was senior Abbi Sunner. The Ankeny, Iowa, native was able to break out and return to her veteran form as she carded a 75 (+3), her best 18-hole score of the year. Sunner’s three-round score of 239 (+23) placed her in a tie for 27th.

FALL RESULTS
Johnie Imes Invitational COLUMBIA, Mo. – Kansas State was unable to avoid high scores in the final round at the Johnie Imes Invitational at The Club at Old Hawthorne, as the Cats finished in 13th place. The second round proved to be the most successful round for K-State, even though it was divided between two days because of darkness, as the Wildcats shot a 306 (+18) to put them in 10th place. Ami Storey’s 2over par 74 was a main contributor to the low total in the second round and was also a season 18-hole low for Storey. “I was pleased with our play in the second round we just didn’t finish the way we needed to in the final round,” said head coach Kristi Knight. “We found our-
selves on the wrong part of the green most of the day and that led to too many putts, but we have to pick up and move on to the next week.”
improve from her first-round score of 78 to a secondround score of 77 (+5) before shooting an 82 in the final round.
The Wildcats were not able to carry their momentum into the final round, scoring double bogey or higher on 14 holes. K-State shot a 325 (+37), giving it a total score of 949 (+85).
Abbi Sunner played well through the first two rounds, shooting a 76 in the first and a 78 (+6) in the second, putting her in a tie for 20th. The senior was unable to hold on as she shot an 83 in the final round to drop her to a tie for 45th with Roos and Osterloo.
Tulsa continued to lead the competition after shooting a 305 (+17) in the second round but was overcome by Wisconsin in the final round to finish second. The Badgers shot a final-round score of 301 (+13) to capture its first victory of the fall season, shooting a 908 (+44). Kristina Merkle of Tulsa never gave up her spot at the top of the leaderboard and cruised to a first-place finish among the individuals. She shot a 74 (+2) in the second round, followed by a 79 in the third round for a 54-hole score of 222 (+6). Merkle is ranked 14th in the nation according to GolfWeek. K-State’s bright spot was freshman Hanna Roos, led the Wildcats for the second-straight competition as she shot a 54-hole score of 237 (+21). Roos was able to improve four strokes from her first round of 81 to her second-round score of 77. The final round was a struggle for Roos as it was for her teammates as she shot 79 (+7) to conclude the competition tied for 45th.
Storey shot an 81 (+9) in the final round to give her a 54-hole score of 238 (+22). The UK native finished in a tie for 53rd. Elise Houtz completed K-State’s lineup with a final round 85, giving her a 54-hole score of 251 (+35), to tie for 84th.

After three rounds, K-State carded a 900 (+36), its best score of the season. The Wildcats were able to move up one spot after round two but were unable to improve in the final round. The Cats finished in the top three in par-3 scoring (+1) and finished third best in total pars with 170. “There were a lot of good things that we did in this competition,” said head coach Kristi Knight. “It was a solid tournament for us, even though we never really

Idaho shot a 288 (E) in the final round to give the Vandals a three-round score of 871 (+7) to win the competition, seven strokes better than second-place UC-Irvine, which finished with a score of 878.

Christine Wong of San Diego State shot a final round 69 (-3) to finish with a 54-hole score of 206 (-10), giving her the individual title. Idaho’s Kayla Mortello’s 67 in the final round was the best score of the day, which propelled her into second place with a three-round total of 210 (-6). Leading the Wildcats was Ami Storey, who shot a career-low three-round score of 223 (+7). Storey concluded the competition with a 74 (+2) in the final round to put her in a tie for 14th, the best finish of her career. “Ami has improved so much from last season,” said Knight. “Right now, her ball striking is as good as I have seen in her career. She is finding success because she keeps the ball in the fairway and avoids trouble.”
Fellow senior Abbi Sunner concluded with a threeround score of 224 (+8) after shooting a 2-over par 74 in the final round. Like Moon, Sunner finished in a tie for 23rd.

K-State
HEAD COACH Kristi
Knight 15th Yr. | Crockett, Texas | Oklahoma ‘88
Kristi Knight enters her 15th year as head women’s golf coach at Kansas State after guiding the Wildcats to a fourth place finish at the Big 12 Championship. The accomplishment was the best post-season finish in school history. Knight came to K-State as the school’s first full-time women’s golf coach in the fall of 1995 after playing at the University of Oklahoma. “I was encouraged to become a coach by my coach at Oklahoma,” Knight said. “I am forever grateful to Coach Ludvigson for that.” A native of Crockett, Texas, Knight graduated from Norman (Okla.) High School. Knight played collegiate golf at Oklahoma from 1985-88. Knight was a consistent player for the Sooners, lettering three years under head coach Carol Ludvigson. As a senior, Knight was named team co-captain and selected as a Scholastic All-American. After earning her bachelor’s degree, Knight began working at the prestigious Oak Tree Country Club in Edmond, Okla., and then went on to earn her master’s degree in sports administration from Oklahoma in 1993. “I am a competitive person and I love the challenges and rewards that coaching provides,” Knight said. “It has taken me places I never would’ve gone. The relationships you build and the friendships you make with everyone are great.” Knight has guided the Wildcats to six collegiate wins. The first was at the Northern Iowa Classic, Sept. 23, 1996. The Wildcats also claimed the team titles at the Mountain View Collegiate, March 24, 2002, the Sunflower Invitational, Oct. 15, 2002, and when hosting the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational, Oct. 13-14, 2003. K-State also took the trophy at the Texas A&M Mo'Morial March 1-2, 2004. “Being able to coach at a university like K-State is an honor,” Knight said. “It is a great academic institution in a community of tremendous people.” Since her arrival in 1995, the Wildcats have placed in the top five at 47 tournaments and in the top three 28 times. Under Knight, Trisha Hoover became K-State’s first all-conference women’s golfer in 1996. Christine Boucher finished second in the Big 12 Conference Championship in 2002, the highest ever for a Wildcat in a conference championship and grabbed Second Team All-Big 12 honors. She was named to the first team in 2003, and in 2004 Boucher was named the Big 12 Conference Player of the Year. “My goal is for my players to improve their game and develop as a person during their time at K-State,” Knight said. “I want each young lady to leave K-State with the ability and opportunity to achieve their goals.” “This is an important time in their lives. When they arrive, many of them are unsure what they want to do or what they think they can do. I want to make sure they know they can accomplish anything they put their heart and mind to.” Under Knight, the Wildcats qualified for the NCAA Regional Championships four straight years, from 2001-04. Knight also guided Boucher to the NCAA Championships in 2003, the first Wildcat to qualify. K-State’s team and individual scoring records have come under the watch of Knight. The top 18-hole and 54-hole team scores were set by the 2002-2003 team in the Edwin Watts Intercollegiate at Oak Point G.C. in Kiawah, S.C. That team shot a 286 on day two to the set the 18-hole record and totaled three rounds of 874, the 54-hole record, for the two days. At the same tournament, Boucher claimed the top individual scores for a Wildcat in school history. She posted a 64 on day two of the tournament for the best 18-hole score. She shot a threeround total of 204 to take home first-place honors and set the Wildcat individual 54-hole best. Knight will look to guide a competitive K-State squad into the 2009-10 season. Last year’s team finished as high as second twice – at the Chip-N-Club Invitational and the Bronco Fall Invitational. Knight was asked to serve on the NCAA Central Regional Selection Committee from 2004-2006 and was selected by the NGCA to serve on the Awards Committee since 2006.

Anderson Hall It's a great time to be a K-Stater! In 2009, K-State welcomes a new president and a new athletic director, who will build on the successes of the past and create a bright new future. Kirk Schulz accepted the K-State presidency because he is impressed with all of the outstanding programs and successes of our faculty, staff and students and with the passion KStaters have for their university. K-Staters connect with our new resident via his blog, Twitter and Facebook. Check out his Web site at www.KState.edu/president. HISTORY AND LOCATION Founded on Feb. 16, 1863, Kansas State University is the oldest public institution of higher education in Kansas and one of the nation's first land-grant universities.
Chalmers Hall
Throughout its history, K-State's mission has been rooted in the principles set forth in the Morrill Act - to provide teaching, research and service to the citizens of Kansas, the nation and the world. The university's 644-acre wooded main campus with historical limestone buildings is located in Manhattan. K-State also has a campus in Salina, and another coming soon in Olathe, along with numerous extension fields, offices and other facilities in Kansas and Nebraska. The Salina campus offers bachelor's and associate degrees in aviation and engineering technologies. Air service in and out of Manhattan Regional Airport connects the city with major airports all over the Midwest and South. Located five miles north of campus is Tuttle Creek Reservoir, a favorite outlet of students for boating, water skiing, swimming and fishing.

KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE K-State is the only research university in the United States to have three national CASE/Carnegie professors of the year. All three are active teachers: Michael Wesch, 2008 national winner; Chris Sorensen, 2007 national winner; and Dean Zollman, 1996 national winner. Look for "kstate" on YouTube to see lectures by them and other great faculty. More than 250 majors and programs are offered in the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Business Administration, Agriculture, Education, Architecture, Planning and Design, Human Ecology, Technology and Aviation and Veterinary Medicine. The Graduate School offers 67 master's degrees, 39 doctoral degrees, five educational doctorate programs and 33 graduate certificates in multiple disciplines across campus. More than $185 million is available in student financial assistance, including $11 million in scholarships. Seven out of 10 students receive financial assistance. Even with 23,000 students, K-State is committed to individualized education whenever possible. For example, freshman English classes have no more than 22 students, introductory chemistry labs average 15 students, introductory art classes average 19 students and speech classes are limited to 23 students. Seventy percent of classes have 30 students or less and the average class size for all undergraduate classes is 23 students. Ninety percent of classes have less than 49 students. STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT Academic achievement of the institution is drawing national acclaim as well. K-State students have won more Truman scholarships, more Goldwater scholarships and more Phi Kappa Phi Fellowships than any other public university in the nation. Over the past twenty-five years, Kansas State University has ranked No. 1 in the nation among public universities in Rhodes, Truman, Marshall, Goldwater and Udall Scholars. We’ve earned our reputation as the “Student Scholar Capital of America.” K-State students have an outstanding record of acceptance into professional schools. Over the past four years, 70-percent of our qualified pre-med applicants were accepted into medical schools; 100-percent of our pre-optometry and 82-percent of our pre-dentistry students were accepted into their respective professional schools. Over the past five years, 98-percent of students who participated in our pre-law program were accepted into law schools. ACADEMIC RECOGNITION K-State is one of just 63 public universities -- that's the top 4-percent -identified by the Carnegie Foundation as having "very high research activity." K-State is a leader on the cutting edge of research discoveries. The university has received almost $250 million in research grants. And faculty scientists and graduate students aren't the only ones conducting research. K-State undergraduates have rich opportunities to work side-by-side with some of the nation's best authorities in their fields. Many students begin undergraduate research their freshman year. QUALITY AND AFFORDABILITY K-State was featured as one of America’s best in the Princeton Review’s “The Best 368 Colleges” (2008). K-State was also ranked in the top 25 of America's best "cutting-edge schools" in You Are Here: A Guide to Over 380 Colleges and Unlimited Paths to Your Future. KState was the only school from the Big 12 Conference to make the cut (2008). You can even earn while you learn by taking a campus job. Last year, student workers brought home more than $15 million helping run the university. Graduates face a promising future when they walk away from K-State with a bachelor's degree in hand.

THE LITTLE APPLE
A student-athlete’s life involves more than academics and athletics. Like most college students, student-athletes need to relax and have a good time, and Manhattan is the place to do just that. Manhattan is a progressive community of 47,916 people located in a region which includes a total population of nearly 80,000. A two-hour drive or half-hour commuter flight from Kansas City, Manhattan reflects the joys and opportunities of big city living while retaining a friendly, open atmosphere. Manhattan has many appealing places to shop, eat and socialize. An award-winning shopping mall is located in the heart of the downtown region, and Aggieville - a district of shops and restaurants just beyond the southern border of campus - continues to be particularly popular with students. There are several beautiful parks and walkways throughout the city, while picturesque Tuttle Creek Reservoir sits just five miles from campus for seasonal swimming, water skiing and boating. Additionally, the 12,000-plus-seat Bramlage Coliseum has become a favorite stop for major concerts throughout the year. Around the holidays, Manhattan bustles with activity and last year approximately 15,000 revelers took to the streets of Aggieville to celebrate the Little Apple at the annual New Year’s Eve ball drop (below) that transforms the town into a mini Times Square celebration.

ADMINISTRATION John Currie Director of Athletics Wake Forest ‘93
36
John Currie, who was introduced as Kansas State’s 15th Director of Athletics on May 18, has emphasized the importance of accessibility and accountability early in his tenure as K-State sets its sights on achieving the vision of having a model intercollegiate athletics program. A highlight of Currie’s early initiatives was the implementation of the “K-State Pledge” in July which includes a series of financial accountability measures and core values that will serve as the foundation of K-State’s vision. Among those values are five goals: a world-class student-athlete experience; value to the University, city and state; integrity and transparency in relation to ethics, finance and NCAA compliance; championship-level athletic performances; and the best fan experience in the Big 12. In an effort to create the best fan experience possible, Currie’s staff created new ticket initiatives for football that led to the largest homeopening crowd in Bill Snyder Family Stadium history on September 5, 2009 (50,750). In his first 60 days on the job, Currie also worked to establish relationships across campus, through steps such as personally visiting with K-State deans in their respective offices. He also serves as a member of President Kirk Schulz’s cabinet and has made presentations and held question and answer sessions with many other campus organizations. Currie also immediately implemented a communications plan in an effort to regain the trust of all Wildcat fans, which included in-person stops throughout the state, regular online letters and chats and K-State’s first-ever FanForum conference call, which saw more than 3,000 fans participate. Understanding the importance of coaching continuity in building successful programs, Currie moved quickly to sign 2009 Big 12 Baseball Coach of the Year Brad Hill and women’s basketball head coach Deb Patterson to a contract extensions and also led the effort to complete the five-year contract for legendary returning football coach Bill Snyder. Currie began his duties as Athletics Director on June 8 after 10 years at the University of Tennessee, most recently serving as Executive Associate Athletics Director for Athletic Director Mike Hamilton. Currie was responsible for the direct management of units that annually produced $84 million in revenue and gifts, including the department’s fundraising, marketing, ticketing, media relations, public relations, internet and broadcasting offices. Currie also provided oversight for the men’s basketball program and other department initiatives and helped direct numerous searches that led to the hiring of successful head coaches. An integral member of the facility planning team for UT’s $200 million master plan renovations for Neyland Stadium, Currie also directed a $36 million arena renovation and basketball practice facility construction project that was completed in the fall of 2007. He developed and implemented the revenue models to fund both projects without outside funding from the state or local government, tax dollars or University-derived support. Currie’s accomplishments at Tennessee included helping the University secure a $50 million commitment in 2006 for academic and athletic needs, a gift which represented the largest from an individual in Tennessee history. Units under his direction also negotiated an $84 million multi-media rights contract with then-Host Communications, and a $19.3 million all-sport contract with Adidas. Under his leadership, giving to Tennessee athletics more than doubled from $19.5 million in 2003 to $41.6 million in 2008. Currie led the negotiation and implementation of new student season ticket sales for football in 2008, resulting in $900,000 of new department revenue in its first year. He also implemented new regular-season football sales strategies that helped Tennessee set a new single-game attendance record of 109,061 in 2004. Tennessee’s athletic facilities as a whole benefitted from Currie’s efforts as the development office secured individual-naming recognition gifts that included $4 million for a new aquatic center, $2 million for a new softball stadium, $1.5 million for a new soccer stadium and $2 million for baseball renovations. Tennessee’s track complex also was renovated, while ground was broken last summer for a new Greg Norman-designed intercollegiate golf practice complex and clubhouse. Currie oversaw the development and execution of a comprehensive marketing plan in 2005 that led to attendance at SEC home basketball games improving 54 percent from the previous year, while student attendance increased by 197 percent. Currie joined the Tennessee staff in 1997 as Executive Director of the Volunteer Athletic Scholarship Fund John and Mary Lawrence Currie (VASF). Following a two-year stint as Assistant Athletics Director at Wake Forest, Currie returned to Knoxville in 2000 as Assistant Athletics Director for Development and served as director for the "STEP UP" campaign. As UT’s first-ever capital campaign, it exceeded its goal and reached a total of $48.6 million, $4 million over the intended goal, with gifts from 870 donors. In 2002, Currie was promoted to Associate Athletics Director for Development. He served as President of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) development officers group for 2004-05, chaired the 2007 CASE national athletic development conference and was a member of the SEC ticket policy committee. The Knoxville News Sentinel recognized Currie in December 2008 by naming him to its prestigious “Top 40 Leaders Under 40” list. He began his professional career at Wake Forest in 1993 as a Deacon Club intern before being named Assistant Deacon Club Director in 1994, a position he held until 1997. Highlights of Currie’s stints at Wake Forest include developing student and young alumni programs, creating a new endowment and planned giving program, managing the coaches circle volunteer program and assisting in the leadership of the “Touchdown 2000” football field house and Miller Center basketball practice/academic counseling facility campaigns. Currie earned his master’s in sports management from Tennessee in 2003 and is a 1993 Wake Forest graduate. He and his wife Mary Lawrence, have three children, Jack, Virginia and Mary-Dell.

COLBERT HILLS
HOLE 11 | PAR 5
5 R A P | 7 HOLE
HOLE 3 | PAR 4 The reputation of Colbert Hills as that really big course out in Kansas is attracting players from across the country that want to test their skills against one of the nation's toughest courses. The dream of Colbert Hills goes back to 1994 when Senior PGA Tour great Jim Colbert, an alumnus of Kansas State, got involved with a project to help the school build a university-run course, a place where the Kansas State golf team could train and where the school could train golf course superintendents and managers and do research on turfgrass. The university's vision and that of Jim Colbert was that the project would also be a public daily fee course and one where disadvantaged children could learn the game of golf. Colbert found the perfect site, 300 acres in the Flint Hills area on the northwest edge of Manhattan. An alumnus who was grazing cattle on this site donated the property, and Colbert donated a half million dollars. Soon other donors signed on. Jim Colbert combined with well-known Dallas architect Jeffrey Brauer to lay out the $11 million course. “God built about 14 of the holes, and we built about four of them,” Colbert said. “I
hope you can't tell the difference.” Colbert Hills opened officially in May 2000 with a bevy of golfing celebrities on hand, including Lee Trevino, Raymond Floyd and Annika Sorenstam, who played in a Founders Pro-Am. “What an unbelievable effort to attract the commitment and bring all these people together,” said PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem at the dedication. “What they got (at Kansas State) is a big sprawling layout that rides comfortably on the Flint Hills outside Manhattan,” John Garrity, Sports Illustrated columnist, said. “From the seventh tee, you can see for miles in all directions and what you see is mostly sky and prairie, with a few ranches thrown in for rustic charm.” What Kansas State had built is a huge links-style course that plays at 7,525 yards from the back tees, nicknamed the Black and Blue tees. It lies on a superb site of rolling hills with changes in elevation that most Americans had no idea could exist in the prairies of Kansas. Colbert Hills includes a new clubhouse, state of the art driving range and enough acreage for a nine-hole teaching course, as well as a host of research and academic opportuni-
Wildcats
ties for K-State researchers and students. Colbert Hills has become the first PGA Tour collegiate licensed facility. With a world-class golf course, the university will restructure the turf program, making it one of the best in the world. Today, K-State offers a specialized degree in turf management and has separated itself from all other turf programs in the nation by expanding its curriculum to include all aspects of the profession, including business administration and hospitality. Graduates are now effectively prepared in the overall management of golf facilities. "GCSAA is pleased to join Jim Colbert, the PGA Tour and Kansas State University in this endeavor that will benefit all who enjoy the game of golf," said GCSAA Chief Executive Officer Stephen F. Mona. "The positive impact of this project will be far reaching - a golf management program to train tomorrow's leaders, a research facility to aid the golf industry and a first-class facility for golf enthusiasts to enjoy a game that is growing faster than any sport in America."

Colbert Hills broke ground on a $5 million clubhouse in July of 2008 in hopes to bring the missing piece to the state’s No. 1 public golf course. The clubhouse houses four locker rooms, a pro shop, a multipurpose area, a conference room and a bar and grill within its estimated 13,500 square feet. The project was funded entirely with private donations. The clubhouse will provide for local events such as weddings, fundraisers and more.

Jim Colbert finished his college career at K-State in 1964 as the runner-up at the NCAA Championships and has had continued success as a professional. Colbert, ranks eighth all-time in career earnings as a member of the Champions Tour, which was formerly called the Senior PGA Tour. The former Wildcat won the Arnold Palmer Award in consecutive years notching four tournament victories in 1995 and five more in 1996. Colbert was also named Senior Tour Player of the Year by the Golf Writers Association in 1995 and 1996. After turning pro in 1965, Colbert joined the PGA Tour in 1966. It didn’t take long for him to pick up his first tour victory at the 1969 Monsanto Open. Colbert won eight titles in a 14 year span while on the PGA Tour. The Kansas City native retired from professional golf in 1987 after earning nearly $1.5 million, to run his own golf course management company, Jim Colbert Golf. Colbert also worked for ESPN as a color analyst for several years. Colbert got back into professional golf in 1991 with the creation of the Senior PGA Tour. Twenty victories later, the former K-State gridder has earned in excess of $8 million in his Senior career alone. Colbert had an illustrious high school football career, which helped earn him a scholarship to play football at K-State. Colbert had a limited career on the gridiron and turned his focus to golf instead. Colbert stays in touch with the football team and is a close friend of former head coach Bill Snyder. Not only is Colbert known for his success on the links, but his strength and desire to return from a life threatening illness. On June 23, 1997, Jim Colbert underwent surgery for prostrate cancer. After missing four months of the season, Colbert returned with a vengeance, placing in the top five, five times including a second place finish at the du Maurier Championship that sent Colbert over the $7 million mark for his senior career. Colbert has earned nomination for the Comeback Player-of-the-Year award. Colbert returned to the winners circle in October of 1998, firing a final round 5-under-par 67 to outlast Senior Tour rookie David Lundstrom by one stroke and win the Transamerica. “It’s by far the most meaningful golf tournament I ever won,” Colbert said. With the thrilling victory, the former Wildcat surpassed
Wildcats
the $8.1 million mark for career earnings on the Senior Tour, and at the time became the Tour’s all-time leading money winner, jumping past Lee Trevino. Colbert’s most recent victory on the Champions Tour came at the 2001 SBC Senior Classic when he held off Jose Maria Canizares by one stroke. At the conclusion of the 2002 season, Colbert finished among the top 31 money-winners for an 11th straight year. Colbert’s best finish in 2003 was at Bruno’s Memorial Classic, where he tied for third after losing in a five-hole playoff to Bob Charles. His best round was a second round 8-under-par 62 at the Senior British Open. The 62 equaled the competitive course record at Turnberry. The round made him the youngest player ever to match his age in a Champions Tour major. The round is also tied for the lowest round ever posted in a Champions Tour major. In 2004, Colbert battled injuries throughout the year. Despite the injuries, he still managed to make the cut in 22 of 23 tournaments. His best finish was a tie for 18th at the SBC Classic. He was scheduled to have hip replacement surgery in early December. In 1974 Colbert helped start a celebrity golf tournament along with former K-State golf coach Ron Fogler that has since raised over $600,000 for the men’s and women’s golf teams. Every August, Colbert and some of his colleagues from the Senior Tour put on a clinic and play in the tournament. In 2000, Senior Tour players Walter Morgan, Bob Murphy, Lee Travino, and Hubert Green, along with LPGA star Annika Sorenstam, participated in the grand opening ceremonies for Colbert Hills. In addition to helping K-State, Colbert has also established the Golfer’s Against Alzheimer’s Association in honor of his mother Marie, who lost her life to the disease. On June 13, 1998 Colbert was elected into the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame in Abilene, Kan. Colbert and the rest of the enshrined members induction plaques and memorabilia can be viewed at the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame, which has recently moved to Wichita, Kan. Colbert is also a member of the Kansas State University Hall of Fame, being inducted in September of 1991. Colbert returned to Manhattan for the Colbert Hills ground breaking ceremony held on June 12 1999. Colbert Hills is located on the Northwest side of Manhattan and is just five minutes from campus. The $11 million project is home to a 300-acre, 18-hole championship style course that serves as the home for the men’s and women’s golf programs. Assistance and research from Kansas State University, the PGA Tour and the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America are helping to make this state-ofthe-art facility the best of its kind in the world. Since the course opened, it has played host to at least one men’s or women’s collegiate golf tournament each year. May of 2003, the course hosted its most prestigious event of alltime, when it played host to 27 men’s collegiate golf teams at the NCAA Central Regional from May 15-17.
