University of Kansas Soccer: Introduction

Kansas Reloads For Persuit of Big 12 Title

S

Jayhawks return 19 players, add 11 newcomers

ince his arrival in Lawrence nearly a decade ago, head coach Mark Francis has built the Jayhawks into a strong program which has competed for Big 12 championships and postseason berths every season. The Jayhawks have not finished below fourth in the Big 12 Conference standings since the 2000 season, and have won more regular season matches than any other conference school not named Texas A&M or Texas. However, there is still a sense that the team has fallen short of expectations. In each of the two years since the Kansas’ Big 12 championship in 2004, the Jayhawks have been eleminated in the first round of the conference tournament and missed the NCAA Championships. The team enters the 2007 season on a mission to take that next step and return to the postseason, after finishing 117-1 last year. “After barely missing out the last two years, our goal is to get into the NCAA Tournament any way we can,” Francis said. “We’ve been there before and we know what it takes.” The road to the NCAA Tournament will not be easy. KU loaded its schedule with traditional soccer powers, including six schools that were ranked in the final NSCAA Top 25 last season. However, Francis believes this will only make the team stronger. “With a young team like we have, we need to play a tough non-conference schedule,” he said. “It prepares us for the conference and makes us a more experienced team at the end of the season.” Francis’ team returns nine starters and 19 players overall from last year’s squad that may have been just one victory shy of accomplishing its goals. Of the 19 returning players, just five seniors make up the 2007 KU roster. Along with a talented nucleus of returning players, the Jayhawks bring in 11 freshmen, who made up a recruiting class which was

ranked fifth in the Central Region by Soccer Buzz. This accolade has Francis and the Jayhawks confident heading into the 2007 season. “This is one of the most talented groups that we’ve ever had here,” he said. “I’m excited to get on the field and see what we can do.”

Forwards

Scoring goals was an area of concern for Francis and the Jayhawks last season. After scoring 37 goals in 2005, the number dropped to just 29 last season. One of the things the team stressed during the spring campaign was learning how to finish the play. The team, however, does return its two leading scorers from a year ago in junior Jessica Bush (eight goals, two assists) and sophomore Monica Dolinsky (six goals, five assists). Both players were honored as selections on Soccer Buzz’s All-Central Region teams last season and both showed the ability to find the net. Finding options beyond the top two might be KU’s biggest challenge as Bush and Dolinsky factored in nearly two-thirds of the team’s scoring plays last season. Both players also figure to see time as midfielders this year as well. Senior Emily Strinden as well as freshmen Taylor Blue and Erin Ellefson will likely be Francis’ top options behind Bush and Dolinsky at forward. Striden tallied a game-winning goal in overtime against Alabama last season, while Blue and Ellefson were teammates at St. Thomas Aquinas High School. Depending on the team’s formation, several other players could see time up front, including junior Sara Rogers and freshman Emily Cressy. “We have a lot of options up front,” Francis said. “Trying to figure out who our best players are each week is going to be a challenge for our coaching staff.”

Midfielders

Junior Jessica Bush scored eight goals and tallied 18 points to lead the team and earn All-Central Region Third Team honors in 2006.

The Jayhawks have the ability to throw several different styles of play at their opponents due to the versatility of their midfield corps. KU utilized both a 4-4-2 and a 4-3-3 formation last year to match up with different opponents’ strengths and expects to do the same this season. Junior Missy Geha leads this group after starting every match as the center midfielder a year ago. Sophomore Shannon McCabe provides the team with a flair for the dramatic as well as speed from the outside. The 5-foot-6 midfielder scored a pair of game-winning goals last season, including one in the final minute of KU’s upset of No. 12 Duke. Senior Nicole Cauzillo and Rogers will also see their names in the starting lineup. Cauzillo is coming back from another season that was marred by injuries, while Rogers tallied a pair of goals in an increasing role last season. Cressy will also challenge for a starting position. Cressy is fresh off a two-goal performance in the U-17 US Youth Soccer National Championship match, which earned her the tournament’s Golden Boot award. Francis has the ability to mix and match with his bench,

University of Kansas Soccer: Introduction as 5-foot-10 sophomore Kim Boyer provides height, while freshmen Kaitlyn Cunningham, Rachel Morris and Erin Lewis also figure to see minutes in the midfield. “One of our biggest advantages we have as a team is our option to play three or four in the middle,” Francis said. “We don’t drop off in talent much from our starters to our backup players.”

Defenders

Very few teams were as good defensively as Kansas during the last seven weeks of the 2006 season. The Jayhawks shut out seven of their final 11 opponents, and allowed more than a single goal in a match just once after Sept. 15. The defensive backfield returns three of four starters including All-Big 12 Second Team selection Jenny Murtaugh and Central Region All-Freshman Team pick Estelle Johnson. The group, while talented, has proven to be extremely durable throughout their careers. Johnson missed just one start last season, while Murtaugh and senior captain Afton Sauer have started every match in each of the last two years. Sauer, a 2004 Freshman All-American, has missed just 10 minutes of action during her last two seasons and leads the team with 62 consecutive matches started. KU will likely fill its vacant starting position with either versatile junior Kristin Graves or one of three highly-touted freshmen: Katie Williams, Lauren Jackson or Geneva Magness. Even if they don’t earn the starting role, all four players will likely factor into the mix at some point. “We return three of four starting defenders from a year ago, but those kids will have to re-establish themselves to be in our starting lineup,” Francis said.

Junior goalkeeper Julie Hanley posted a 0.98 goals against average and seven shutouts last season.

Goalkeepers

Junior Julie Hanley started all 19 matches between the pipes and enjoyed a breakout season. The 5-foot-9 junior became just the second KU goalkeeper to record a goals against average under 1.00 for the season. She also shut out seven of KU’s 19 opponents, which ranks as the third-best single-season total in program history. Senior Colleen Quinn will look to push Hanley again for the starting job. Quinn boasts a 1.09 career goals against average, and an .810 save percentage in 13 career contests at KU. The Jayhawks added a pair of goalkeepers over the summer in walk-on freshman Deidre Leist and redshirt freshman Stephanie Baugh, who transferred from West Virginia. Both players will have eligibility remaining after Hanley and Quinn graduate. “Julie did a great job for us last year, but she’ll have to earn the starting role again this year,” Francis said. “I anticipate good competition between (Hanley and Quinn).”

Senior Afton Sauer has started 62 straight matches in the defensive backfield for the Jayhawks.

Why did you choose your jersey number: I always wore #10 when I played on the field, so I guess I just dropped the zero.

Best road trip with KU soccer: Going to San Diego my freshman year was a lot of fun. I also liked being able to go play in my home state against Purdue.

FRANCIS

Head Coach Ninth Season at KU SMU (1987) The winningest soccer coach in Kansas history, Mark Francis returns for his ninth season to lead the Jayhawks. In his eight-year tenure, Francis has molded the program into a perennial contender in the tough Big 12 Conference. Francis has led the Jayhawks to their first three NCAA Tournament appearances in program history and the school’s first conference championship in soccer in 2004. During the last six seasons, only Texas A&M’s G. Guerrieri and Texas’ Chris Petrucelli have more overall victories and Big 12 victories than Francis. The ninth-year coach owns a 97-60-9 (.611) mark at KU and a 130-85-10 (.600) record during his 12-year head coaching career. In 2006, Francis’ team advanced to its seventh-straight Big 12 Soccer Championships and finished with doubledigit victories for the sixth year in a row. The Jayhawks finished fourth in the Big 12 with a 6-4 conference record. KU’s season was highlighted by a 4-3 come-from-behind victory against No. 12 Duke on Sept. 10, which featured a four-goal rally in the second half by the Jayhawks. KU also

posted road victories at Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa State and Missouri and earned a national ranking in the top 25 polls for the fifth time in the last six seasons. The team jumped to No. 18 in the Soccer America poll, and No. 21 in the Soccer Times poll on Sept. 11. The Jayhawks finished the 2005 season in a four-team tie for second-place in the Big 12 Conference. The season was highlighted by a one-goal victory against Texas on CSTV, KU’s first ever win against the Longhorns and an overtime win against Border Showdown rival Missouri. The Jayhawks also earned a trip to their sixth-straight Big 12 Soccer Championships in the process. The 2004 season was a year filled with program firsts as numerous records were broken. The Jayhawks compiled a program-best record of 18-5 on their way to the Big 12 Championship. It was the first for the soccer team and second among KU women’s sports, the last going to basketball in 1997. Francis earned Big 12 Coach of the Year as well as the Central Region Coach of the Year honors. He also won his 100th career match with a victory against Texas Tech on Oct. 1. KU’s 8-2 league record was its best as well. Along the way, the Jayhawks beat Texas A&M for the first time, 1-0, at College Station. The Jayhawks also received their firstever national top 10 ranking, topping out at sixth, and were ranked in the top 20 for most of the season. They also advanced to the NCAA tournament for the second year in a row, this time entering as the eighth-seed and hosting the first two rounds. In 2004, Kansas players rewrote the record books. Caroline Smith added 11 goals to her previous mark in 2004, totaling a program-best 42. Meghan Miller also tacked on 11 shutouts to her record, finishing with 30

career shutouts and a program-low 0.57 GAA. The team also broke the record for goals scored with 47 and had the most shutouts with 13. The Jayhawks also garnered individual awards with eight players making the all-conference teams, the most of any Big 12 team. KU also boasted four All-Americans, the highest total amongst any team across the country. In 2003, Kansas soccer reached new heights under Francis’ leadership. The Jayhawks posted an 18-6-1 mark and advanced to the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament. With a 6-3-1 record of play in the Big 12, KU finished third. Along the way, the Jayhawks posted their first-ever win in program history against Big 12 rival Nebraska and defeated Border Showdown foe Missouri twice in Columbia, including a 2-0 win in the NCAA Tournament. Kansas players garnered many postseason honors, including Caroline Smith being named to several AllAmerica teams as well as freshman Holly Gault being selected as a Freshman All-American by Soccer Buzz. With Francis’ help, KU’s players etched their names in the record book, as Smith became the program’s all-time leader in goals, points and game-winning goals and junior Meghan Miller set the school mark in career shutouts and

career goals against average. In 2002, Francis led Kansas to an overall record of 11-7-2, a then-school record six-straight wins and a seven-game unbeaten streak during the first half of the season. The Jayhawks also opened the season 6-1-1, marking their best start ever. Francis’ team ranked in the Central Region’s Top 10 for 10 consecutive weeks. During KU’s second consecutive winning season, Francis helped develop one of the most prolific freshmen in Jayhawk history, Caroline Smith. After setting a KU single-season record with 12 goals scored, Smith was named to the Big 12 All-Newcomer team as well as Soccer Buzz’s Freshman All-America Third Team, Central Region All-Freshmen Team and All-Central Region Third Team. In 2001, Francis guided the Jayhawks to a 13-7-0 overall record and 7-3-0 Big 12 mark. For his efforts, Soccer Buzz named Francis the 2001 Central Region Coach of the Year, as he led his Jayhawks into the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. The Jayhawks finished the season ranked sixth in the Central Region, marking the ninth-best turnaround in the nation, improving five games from the previous season. The 2001 Kansas team shattered many school records including more than 10 single-season individual, seven career and over a dozen team records. In addition, Francis saw four of his players – Pardis Brown and Hilla Rantala (second team), and Monica Brothers and Meghan Miller (freshman team) – garner All-Big 12 honors. In 2000, Francis guided the Jayhawks to their first-ever trip to the Big 12 Tournament. The team set a then-school record for shots in a season with 289. In addition, Francis coached his first All-Big 12 performer in defender Pardis Brown, a member of the Big 12 All-Newcomer team and All-Big 12 Second Team. Brown also earned numerous all-central region honors. In 1999, the Jayhawks set a team season record with eight victories and tied the KU record for home wins with five. Francis’ attack-oriented system contributed to singleseason records for points (87) and assists (29). A 1987 graduate of Southern Methodist, Francis was a three-time All-American selection for the Mustangs. As a senior, he was named SMU’s Male Athlete of the Year, the Dallas All-Sports Association College Athlete of the Year and was selected to Soccer America’s All-College MVP Team. In addition, he was a two-time nominee for the Hermann Trophy, given to the nation’s most outstanding player. Professionally, Francis played 10 seasons as a member of the Dayton Dynamos (NPSL), Mobile Revellers, Dallas Rockets (USISL) and the Orlando Lions (APSL).

The Jayhawk defense showed improvements statistically. Miller was responsible for coaching the 2004 squad to the lowest goals against average in program history at 0.55 and fewest goals allowed with 13. Over the last four seasons, KU’s goalkeepers have finished with a season goals against average below 1.00 three times, including a 0.98 average last year. As the Jayhawk goalkeeper coach, Miller has developed his keepers to contend for conference and national recognition. In 2003 and 2004, KU goalkeeper Meghan Miller was named All-Big 12 First Team and in 2004 garnered second team All-American honors. Last season, Miller’s tutelage helped sophomore Julie Hanley post an 0.98 goals against average and seven shutouts. Hanley was also named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week in consecutive weeks. Miller graduated with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from The Cooper Union in 1996. In 1999, along with Head Coach Mark Francis, Miller made the move to KU to train the goalkeepers. He became a full-time assistant the following spring. Three generations of the Miller family have resided in Lawrence. He also attended the same high school (Lawrence High) as former Jayhawk basketball legend Danny Manning.

Jayhawks Just Miss In 2006

F

KU earns 11 wins, but falls short of NCAA Tournament

or the second-straight season, the University of Kansas soccer team won 11 matches and placed near the top of the Big 12 standings. However, for the second consecutive year, the team was eliminated in the first round of the conference tournament and subsequently, missed the NCAA Tournament. After falling to Colorado in the final match of the regular season, the Jayhawks faced CU again in the first round of the Big 12 Championships. Jessica Bush’s goal late in the first half tied the score at 1-1. The teams played through the second half and two overtime periods before the Buffaloes ended KU’s season in a shootout. While the end of the season was disappointing for head coach Mark Francis and his young Jayhawks, it should not overshadow what the team accomplished during the 2006 season. Fielding one of the youngest teams in the Big 12, which regularly started five sophomores and three freshmen, Francis’ team won 11 2006 Honors matches, marking the Soccer Buzz All-Region Third Team sixth-straight season that Jessica Bush, Holly Gault the team has reached double-digits in victories. Soccer Buzz All-Newcomer Team The Jayhawks finished Monica Dolinsky, Estelle Johnson fourth in league play with All-Big 12 Second Team a 6-4 mark against Big Jessica Bush, Holly Gault, Missy Geha, 12 foes. The team earned Jenny Murtaugh shutouts in all six of its conference victories and Big 12 All-Newcomer Team Monica Dolinsky, Estelle Johnson eight shutouts overall. Included in KU’s 11 Academic All-District 7 victories was a come-fromNicole Cauzillo, Holly Gault behind win against Duke, who was ranked No. 12 in Academic All-Big 12 First Team Nikki Alvarez, Nicole Cauzillo, Holly the country at the time, a Gault, Kristin Graves, Michelle 1-0 road win at Nebraska, Rasmussen, Afton Sauer and a four-match winning streak during the second Academic All-Big 12 Second Team half of Big 12 play. Missy Geha, Julie Hanley, Sara Rogers, Emily Strinden The Jayhawks’ most memorable weekend of the Soccer Buzz Elite Team of the Week season came Sept. 8-10 at Jessica Bush (Oct. 17) the University of AlabamaBirmingham Classic. KU Soccer Times Honor Roll Jessica Bush (Oct. 18) knocked off Alabama in overtime and then upset Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week 12th-ranked Duke. The Jessica Bush (Oct. 15) Jayhawks rallied from a two-goal second-half Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week Julie Hanley (Oct. 15 & 22) deficit to score a 4-3 triumph over the Blue Big 12 Newcomer of the Week Devils. Monica Dolinsky (Oct. 15) Senior Holly Gault tallied two goals in the second half to bring KU back. Trailing 3-2 in the final 10 minutes, freshman Monica Dolinsky collected a Kim Boyer pass to tie the match with her fourth goal of the season. Eight minutes later, another freshman, Shannon McCabe, recorded her first collegiate

goal with 27 seconds left to give KU the 4-3 win. The triumph over a nationally ranked opponent and 4-1 start moved the Jayhawks into the top 25 in two of the national polls. This marked the fifth time in the last six seasons that KU earned a national ranking. The offense was showcased in the Duke win, the defense and goalkeeping kept the team afloat through the middle of the season. KU shut out eight opponents in 2006 and allowed one goal or less in 12 of its final 13 contests. Senior Nikki Alvarez, junior Afton Sauer, sophomore Jenny Murtaugh and freshman Estelle Johnson proved to be nearly impenetrable, while goalkeeper Julie Hanley came up with the big saves when needed. One of KU’s most impressive defensive stands came in Lincoln, Neb., on Oct. 1 as the Jayhawks shut out Nebraska, 1-0. The win was the Jayhawks’ second all-time in Lincoln and first over the Huskers since 2003. McCabe again came up clutch, burying a Dolinsky corner kick in the second minute. With their season on the brink at 7-6, the Jayhawks responded with its best run in two years. KU shut out four straight Big 12 opponents to clinch fourth-place in the league. The Jayhawks earned shutout wins at Iowa State and Missouri and then returned home to blank Baylor and Texas Tech. The Missouri win was especially sweet as Dolinsky and sophomore Jessica Bush tallied two goals each in a 4-0 rout. Dolinsky became just the third Jayhawk to tally six points in a match, netting two goals and collecting a pair of assists. The big weekend helped a trio of Jayhawks sweep the Big 12 Player of the Week awards. This marked the first time that three athletes from the same school earned the conference’s honors during the same week. Bush earned Offensive Player of the Week, while Hanley took home Defensive Player of the Week honors. Dolinsky was named Newcomer of the Week. Senior Holly Gault led the offense the next weekend, scoring a goal and adding three assists in wins over Baylor and Texas Tech. It was the final exclamation point on the senior’s brilliant KU career.

Jayhawk History


University of Kansas Soccer: Jayhawk History

Postseason History Competing for conference and national chanmpionships after the regular season has become an annual tradition for the Jayhawks under Mark Francis. Since he was named head coach, KU has missed the conference tournament just once – in his first season – and has qualified for the NCAA Tournament three times. KU’s first taste of the postseason came under Francis in 2000, when the Jayhawks qualified for the Big 12 Championships as the No. 8 seed and faced top seeded Nebraska. Despite holding the thirdranked Huskers scoreless in the first half, KU fell 4-0. The following season, the Jayhawks earned another trip to the Big 12 Championships, this time as the No. 4 seed, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history. However, KU was eliminated in the first round of the tourney by BYU, 1-0. It wasn’t until 2003 that KU earned its first postseason victory. After posting a 6-3-1 Big 12 record during the regular season, the Jayhawks earned the No. 3 seed in the conference tourney and downed sixth-seeded Oklahoma, 1-0, in the opening round. Freshman Jessica Kilpatrick and sophomore Caroline Smith connected for the only goal of the match. The Jayhawks earned their second NCAA Tournament bid in 2003, after a 15-4-1 regular season. KU traveled to Columbia, Mo., for the first round of the tourney and came away with a pair of victories. KU dispatched of Illinois State, 3-1, in the first round on a pair of goals from Kilpatrick. The ‘Hawks then knocked off archrival Missouri, 2-0, to advance to the round of 16. Smith and senior Carmel Kaplinger scored the KU goals, while Meghan Miller made four saves to earn her 11th shutout of the season. The Jayhawks fell to national No. 2 seed UCLA in the round of 16, but enjoyed their deepest run in the national tournament. The following year, KU won the Big 12 regular season title and scored a postseason record four goals in its opening round triumph over Iowa State. In the conference quarterfinals, KU led fourth-seeded Texas 2-0, but eventually fell in double-overtime, 3-2. The 2004 NCAA Tournament brought another first to the KU program, as the Jayhawk Soccer Complex was selected to host first and second round contests for the first time. The Jayhawks defeated Creighton, 3-1, in the first round on goals by Afton Sauer, Jessica Smith and Monica Brothers. However, KU experienced more heartbreak in the second round. The Jayhawks outshot visiting Nebraska 17-1 in the second half, but could only manage a single goal, falling 2-1 in overtime. Last season saw another first in Jayhawk postseason play as KU’s Big 12 Championship first-round match with Colorado came down to penalty kicks after the teams played through two overtime periods tied 1-1. Jayhawk fans have been treated to several stirring postseason performances and will likely be witness to many more in the coming years.

KU players celebrate their 2003 NCAA Tournament victory over Missouri.

University of Kansas Soccer: Jayhawk History

2001 NCAA Tournament In 2001, the University of Kansas soccer team shocked the Big 12 as well as the rest of the women’s soccer community by storming to a program-best 13-7 record, including a 7-3 mark in conference play and a trip to the NCAA Tournament in Lincoln, Neb. Kansas faced Brigham Young University in the first round of the national tournament, which included 64 teams for the first time. After a scoreless first half, the Cougars notched the game-winning tally in the 76th minute. Despite the loss, the Jayhawks could be proud of their accomplishments in 2001: • KU appeared in the Central Region poll for 11-straight weeks, and received votes for the national top 25 poll for the first time in school history. • Four Jayhawks earned All-Big 12 Conference honors – junior Pardis Brown and senior Hilla Rantala were selected to the second team while freshmen Monica Brothers and Meghan Miller made the All-Newcomer team. • The Jayhawks made their second-straight trip to the Big 12 Soccer Championships in San Antonio, Texas. • Rantala (Oct. 2) and Brianna Valento (Nov. 7) were selected to Soccer Buzz magazine’s National Team of the Week. • Three Kansas players – Monica Brothers (at Oklahoma State), Natalie Hoogveld (at Colorado) and Brianna Valento (vs. St. Louis) – scored hat tricks. • Rantala set a new single-game record for assists with four at Oklahoma State. KU’s only losses during the regular season came against nationally ranked opponents. After splitting the first two matches of the season, the Jayhawks won six of their next seven to enjoy their best start in program history. Included in the 7-2 start was a 3-0 mark to open Big 12 play. After a tough loss at No. 5 Nebraska, the team set a program record by collecting its fifth Big 12 victory of the season. Prior to this season, KU’s top conference mark was 3-5-1, which was achieved in its first season in the Big 12 of 1996. The Jayhawks finished out the year with four straight shutouts, including a 2-0 win over rival Missouri.

Natalie Hoogveld goes for a 50-50 ball in KU’s NCAA Tournament contest against BYU in Lincoln, Neb. on Nov. 15, 2001.

University of Kansas Soccer: Jayhawk History

2004 NCAA Tournament Returning most of the players that made the break-through 2003 season the most successful in school history, Kansas entered the 2004 season with high expectations and lofty goals. The year got off to a hot start as the Jayhawks rolled off five straight wins without allowing a goal to open the year undefeated and set up a match-up with then No. 7 Clemson. The Jayhawks prevailed 3-1 in the match to give the program its first victory over a top-10 opponent and vault the Jayhawks into the national top 10. After completing non-conference play with an 8-1 mark and climbing to No. 8 in the national rankings, Kansas opened Big 12 play by hosting Nebraska at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. The team suffered a 1-0 setback to the Cornhuskers, but then rallied to win seven consecutive matches and take over sole possession of first place in the conference with only two games remaining in the race for the league crown. Despite dropping a 1-0 double overtime decision to Texas in Austin, KU returned to the Jayhawk Soccer Complex in its season finale against Iowa State needing a win to clinch a Big 12 co-championship with Texas A&M. The Jayhawks blew past the Cyclones on the way to a 4-0 win and clinched the program’s first conference title. The Big 12 Championship was the second won by a Kansas women’s team, with the 1997 women’s basketball team owning the first. The Jayhawks, by virtue of their 1-0 victory over Texas A&M on Oct. 22, were the No. 1 seed at the 2004 Big 12 Soccer Championships in San Antonio, Texas. KU reached the tournament’s semifinal round by dispatching of Iowa State 4-1 in the first round on the strength of a career-high two goals by senior midfielder Amy Geha. Kansas fell in the semifinal round of the Big 12 Tournament, but the Jayhawks were prepared to make some noise on a bigger stage as they prepared for the NCAA Tournament. Following the 2004 regular season, Kansas received another first in program history, as the Jayhawk Soccer Complex was selected to host the first and second rounds of the 2004 NCAA Championship. The Jayhawks had made the tournament three of the last four seasons and entered the 2004 bracket as the No. 8 national seed. The Jayhawks defeated Creighton in the first round by a score

The University Kansas Roots, Global Reach

The University of Kansas — fondly known as KU — is a tradition-rich, comprehensive research university that throughout its distinguished history has excelled in creating superior, enduring value for students, the state of Kansas, and the world. KU ranks among the nation’s premier public research universities and is a leading center for study in a wide range of fields: the arts and humanities, the sciences, and the professions. Founded by the same determined New Englanders who had emigrated to the Kansas Territory to create a state free of slavery, KU became one of the first universities of the Great Plains. The university opened its doors on Sept. 12, 1866, to 29 men and 26 women. Never in its history has KU restricted admissions based on race or gender. Since its early years, KU has been fueled by high aspirations and today enjoys a national reputation for innovation and academic excellence. In 1890, the first chapters of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi west of the Mississippi River were chartered in Lawrence. The following year, the KU Endowment Association was established, the first foundation of its kind supporting a state-assisted university. In 1908, KU became one of the first 11 public universities to be admitted to the prestigious Association of American Universities. Not to be forgotten: KU initiated interscholastic basketball competition in 1898, under the leadership of Dr. James Naismith, the founder of basketball. With a student body of 29,613 and an endowment with assets of more than $1 billion, KU has become a diversified, broad-based center of learning with professional schools in allied health, architecture and urban design, business, education, engineering, fine arts, journalism and mass communication, law, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and social welfare. KU also has expanded geographically, adding the Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas; the School of Medicine clinical branch in Wichita; the Edwards Campus in Overland Park; and educational and research facilities throughout the state.

World-class, Accessible Education

KU faculty members have earned international distinction: 10 have been elected national academy members, 35 are fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and 269 have received Fulbright awards for international study since 1950. Led by the faculty, KU students have achieved an impressive record of major honors: 25 Rhodes, 401 Fulbright, 43 Goldwater, 16 Truman, 17 Udall, and nine Marshall scholarships; 24 Mellon fellowships; five Javits fellowships; and one Churchill scholarship and one Nobel Prize laureate. KU prepares students for success in an increasingly global economy. Among public universities, KU ranks fourth in the nation for the percentage of its students who study abroad, and 23rd in the nation for the number of graduates serving as Peace Corps volunteers. In 2005, KU was chosen as one of five universities to receive the Paul Simon Award for excellence in and commitment to international education. The attractiveness of KU to outstanding high school graduates is reflected in the current student body — the best-qualified in KU history — based on high school GPA and standardized test scores. In 2005, KU enrolled 57 National Merit scholars (16th among U.S. public universities), five National Hispanic scholars, and four National Achievement scholars.

of Kansas Jayhawk Alumni

Every university likes to identify its famous graduates, and of course we have a few names we like to drop too. Some are instantly recognizable, like Wilt Chamberlain or presidential candidate Bob Dole. Some have won notable awards, like Nobel prize winner Vernon Smith, or have positions of national influence, like Janet Murguia, leader of the nation’s largest Hispanic advocacy group La Raza. One even discovered a planet. His name was Clyde Tombaugh and the planet is Pluto. But most importantly to us are the thousands of alumni who tell us KU gave them the knowledge and experience to lead successful lives and careers. They are in your community — the doctor, pharmacist, city manager, business owner, your teacher. Ask them how important KU is to them — and you.

Path-breaking Research

Research at the University of Kansas is a thriving, dynamic enterprise that contributes directly to the health, safety, cultural life and economy of the state and nation. Independent, multidisciplinary research centers focus on such areas as human health and development, the environment and natural sciences, the arts and humanities, information technology and informatics, educational research, natural resources and infrastructure and societal organization. KU continues to broaden its commitment to fostering collaborative relationships among researchers at all its campuses and with other educational and corporate institutions and external research partners. In fiscal year 2005, total research expenditures of $280 million set a University record.

DEEP Analysis of KU

A nationwide study by Indiana University, the“Documenting Effective Educational Practice” report, in 2004 lauded KU as a progressive research university that thoroughly engaged students in the learning process. “Many other colleges and universities will benefit from learning about KU policies and practice,” the DEEP report stated.

Athletic Director Lew Perkins

Director of Athletics

L

ew Perkins has served as Director of Athletics at the University of Kansas since June 2003. He arrived at KU after achieving nationally recognized success as athletics director at the University of Connecticut. Kansas Athleticshasexperiencedtremendous growth and success during Perkins’ short tenure. •In the spring of 2007, the studentathletes in KU’s 18-sport program achieved extraordinary success in the classroom. KU student-athletes combined for a 3.02 aggregate GPA, the department’s highest since these statistics have been kept. Nine teams posted 3.0 grade-point averages or better and 247 student-athletes on active rosters (61 percent) posted a 3.0 GPA or higher, including 36 with perfect 4.0 GPA’s; •The football team won the 2005 Fort Worth Bowl and has participated in a bowl game in two of the last four years; •The men’s basketball team reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Championship twice – in 2004 and 2007 – and has won the last three Big 12 Conference regular-season championships, as well as the 2006 and 2007 Big 12 tournament titles; •The volleyball team has appeared in three NCAA tournaments in the last four years, reaching the second round in 2003 and 2004; •The soccer team has appeared in two NCAA tournaments, reaching the Sweet 16 in 2003; •The softball team won the Big 12 Championship in 2006 and reached the NCAA tournament for the second straight season; •The baseball team won the Big 12 Championship in 2006 and reached the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1994; •The women’s basketball team reached the 2006 Women’s National Invitation Tournament, its first postseason appearance since 2000; •Fourteen KU student-athletes qualified for the 2007 NCAA outdoor track and field championships, the most under seven-year head coach Stanley Redwine. Eight of those individuals earned All-American accolades, the most individual outdoor All-Americans in KU history, excluding relay teams. Kansas Athletics fundraising has reached unprecedented levels. Under Perkins, KU’s $27-million athletics budget has grown to more than $50 million. That fundraising, including landmark apparel and corporate-partner contracts, has resulted in greater services for KU coaches and student-athletes, and numerous upgrades in KU’s athletics facilities: •The Booth Family Hall of Athletics, which opened in January 2006 in Allen Fieldhouse, celebrates the tradition and history of Kansas Athletics; •The spirit and aura of Allen Fieldhouse has been enhanced by renovations that were completed prior to the 2005-06 season, include freshly painted bleachers, new windows, new lighting and sound systems, and a new centerhung scoreboard, which includes a large, state-of-the-art video board; •The baseball complex now includes an indoor hitting facility and a new scoreboard and a state-of-the-art video board; •With funding secured, construction has begun on the Anderson Family Football Complex and practice fields adjacent to Memorial Stadium; •A new Aquatic Rehabilitation Center houses three Hydroworx pools that enhance rehabilitation efforts under the guidance and supervision of the University of Kansas Sports Medicine Staff.

Perkins has served on many NCAA, Big 12 Conference and other prestigious committees. His current NCAA obligations include the Basketball Issues Committee. At the conference level, Perkins serves as a member of the Big 12 Television Committee, and has served as Chair of the Big 12 Board of Athletics Directors. In spring 2005 he was named to the Board of Directors of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Additionally, he is a member of the Gatorade Board of Directors. At Connecticut (1990-2003), Perkins was instrumental in guiding UConn athletics to impressive growth – athletically, academically and financially. His leadership influenced six NCAA Division I National Championships. He was rewarded in 2000 as the inaugural winner of the National Athletic Director of the Year Award as selected by Street & Smith’s Sports Business Journal, in conjunction with the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). A native of Chelsea, Mass., Perkins was inducted into his high school Hall of Fame in 1989. A highly recruited basketball player, he played at the University of Iowa (1965-67) for Hall of Fame coach and KU graduate Ralph Miller. Perkins earned his undergraduate degree there in 1967. Perkins served as Director of Athletics (1969-80) and head basketball coach (1969-79) at the University of South Carolina Aiken as that institution grew from a junior college to a four-year institution. He received his master’s degree in education (1975) from the University of South Carolina. Perkins delivered the commencement address and received an honorary Doctor of Education degree at USC Aiken in May 2005. Perkins also has served as athletics director at the University of Maryland and Wichita State University, and associate director of athletics at the University of Pennsylvania. Perkins is married to the former Gwen Flaum. Like Lew, Gwen earned an undergraduate degree from Iowa and a master’s degree in education from the University of South Carolina. They have two daughters (Amy, husband Brandon Macneill; Holly, husband Tom Halligan) and two granddaughters (Caroline and Alexandra Macneill).


Chancellor Dr. Robert Hemenway University Chancellor

R

obert Hemenway’s life has been marked by accomplishment as an administrator, teacher, and scholar. As the 16th chancellor of the University of Kansas, he is the chief executive for the university, which spans the main campus in Lawrence, the Edwards Campus in Overland Park, the Medical Center campus in Kansas City, Kan., and its clinical branch in Wichita. Leaders of other universities recognize Hemenway’s administrative talents. In 2002, Hemenway was elected to chair the 18-member NCAA Division I board of directors, a position he held through January 2005. This appointment follows two terms as chairman of the board for the Big 12 Conference. From 2005-2006, he served on the NCAA Division I President’s Task Force. Since coming to KU in 1995, Hemenway has streamlined the administration, made the university more student-centered, and overseen KU’s growing national reputation. Under Hemenway’s leadership, KU has set a goal to be recognized as a Top 25 public university. A growing list of nationally ranked academic programs and achievements of faculty and students support this goal.

U.S. News & World ranks KU’s academic reputation as 31st among public universities and 24 of KU’s graduate programs 25th or higher among similar programs at public universities. KU’s graduate programs in city management and urban policy and special education are ranked 1st in the nation. Research funding at KU, a major source for Kansas economic development, has climbed steadily, reaching a record $281 million in fiscal year 2005. KU students win several of the nation’s most prestigious awards every year, including the Rhodes, Goldwater, Marshall, and Udall scholarships. A selection of 10 Academic AllAmericans during 2005-06 athletic season brought the number of KU student-athletes chosen for this honor since 1990 to 53. In Kansas, Hemenway has performed a complex balancing act, positioning KU as a major player in the movement to make the Greater Kansas City area a national center for life sciences and information technology, while at the same time forging stronger connections with the rural counties of western Kansas. “To me, both Kansas and Kansas City are filled with opportunity,” Hemenway says. “KU wants to be a better partner to the entire state.” Hemenway remains a committed scholar and teacher. He is known for his biography of African-American novelist Zora Neale Hurston, a “Best Books” pick by the New York Times in 1978 and a Quality Paperback Book Club selection in 1991. Hemenway is teaching a 7:30 a.m. undergraduate English course this fall. The chancellor and his wife, Leah, live in the Outlook, the KU chancellor’s official residence. Four of the Chancellor’s eight children are graduates of KU. The Hemenways have six grandchildren.


Big 12 Conference The Big 12 Conference has been synonymous with success in competitive play on the field and in the classroom as it enters its 12th season, and league members anticipate continued success during the 200708 academic year. In the first 11 years of the Big 12, the conference can boast of 30 team and over 350 individual NCAA Championships. The success continued this past season, with team titles in men’s cross country (Colorado) and women’s volleyball (Nebraska) in addition to numerous individual crowns. Over the past three seasons alone, a total of 11 NCAA trophies have been hoisted by Big 12 institutions, with at least one national crown won in 10 of 11 years for the conference, including each of the past 10 seasons. Through the first nine Bowl Championship Series title games, the Big 12 leads all conferences with five appearances in the contest. Big 12 squads have played for the football national championship five times in the last eight years, with berths in 12 BCS games overall. In basketball, eight men’s and women’s teams have advanced to their respective Final Fours in the past six seasons as the Big 12 continues its place among the elite intercollegiate athletic conferences. Numerous national honors have been won by men’s and women’s student-athletes during conference history, with Kevin Durant (Texas) the most recent to garner accolades as the consensus 2007 National Player of the Year. The Big 12 and its member institutions are committed to a competitive environment where sportsmanship and fair play take center stage. Whether on the field, in the classroom, orwithinthecommunitythestudent-athletes, administrators, coaches and game officials

of the Big 12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship. Big 12 student-athletes also do well in earning national academic recognition. This pastseason,twoleaguestandoutswerenamed the Academic All-America of the Year in their sport by ESPN The Magazine and the College Sports Information Directors of America. Nebraska’s Sarah Pavan (volleyball) boasted a 4.0 grade-point average in Biochemistry, while Aaron Ivey of Oklahoma (baseball) also has a 4.0 GPA in Energy Management. Competitive excellence, scholarship and sportsmanship are all equal components of the Big 12 philosophy. All-Big 12 teams and Academic All-Big 12 squads are recognized for each sport at the end of their respective seasons. At the end of each academic year, the Conference honors its top male and female student-athletes with the Big 12 Athlete of the Year and Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year awards. Last season Kansas golfer Amanda Costner was named the Female Sportsperson of the Year. Institutions can also nominate studentathletes for the prestigious Dr. Prentice Gautt Postgraduate Scholarships at the conclusion of each academic year. A total of 177 scholars have received more than $1 million in postgraduate financial aid through the first 10 years of the program. The Big 12 sponsors 21 sports.

KU Tradition The Rock Chalk Chant

The Rock Chalk Chant has been the battle cry of KU fans for more than 80 years. This strange, traditional chant, which is among the most famous of all college cheers, was started by E.H.S. Bailey, a professor of chemistry. Bailey wanted a cheer for his Science Club. Returning from a convention in Wichita, Bailey and some associates patterned a yell after the rhythmic cadence of their train rolling along the tracks. On May 21, 1886, Bailey submitted the cheer to his club. Even though there was no football team at KU until 1890, the Rock Chalk Chant tradition steadily grew. Before the University adopted the cheer in 1897, it consisted of “Rah, Rah, Jayhawk, KU” being repeated three times. An English professor soon suggested that “Rock Chalk” be substituted for “Rah, Rah” because it rhymed with Jayhawk. “Rock Chalk” was also symbolic of the chalky limestone formations found on Mount Oread. Professor Bailey would be amazed to hear 50,000 Jayhawk football fans shouting the cheer he gave his Science Club in 1886; a cheer that Teddy Roosevelt said was the best he had ever heard.

The School Colors

Campanile Hill

The University of Kansas colors, crimson and blue, used since the early 1890s, are not the colors originally adopted by the university Board of Regents in the 1860s. The Regents had decided to adopt the Michigan colors, maize and sky blue.

Campanile Hill forms the picturesque backdrop for Memorial Stadium. On a sunny fall Saturday, the “Hill” is transformed into a congregating place for watching Jayhawk football, sunning and barbequing. Potter Lake, just to the southeast of Memorial Stadium and at the bottom of Campanile Hill, adds to the beauty of the Kansas campus.

Maize and blue were used at early oratorical meets, and they may have been used when Kansas competed in rowing in the middle 1880s. However, when football came upon the scene in 1890, the student backers wanted to use Harvard crimson as the athletic color in honor of Col. John J. McCook, a Harvard man, who had given money for an athletic field at KU. That field ran east and west in the proximity of where the north bowl of Memorial Stadium stands on the Kansas campus today. Until that time, Kansas football games were played at Central Park on Massachusetts Street in downtown Lawrence. Some Yale men were on the faculty, and they demanded the Yale blue be included. The rooters rallied forth to allow crimson and blue on their team. No one fought to retain the original colors, and the vivid deeper tone crimson and blue became generally used. Finally, in May 1896, the KU Athletic Board adopted crimson and blue as the official team colors for the university.

On Commencement Day, KU grads make the walk down Campanile in a procession line before entering Memorial Stadium for graduation ceremonies.

What’s a Jayhawk?

The University of Kansas is home of the Jayhawk, a mythical bird with a fascinating history. Its orgin is rooted in the historic struggles of Kansas settlers. The term “Jayhawk” was probably coined about 1848. Accounts of its use appeared from Illinois to Texas. The name cobines two birds -- the blue jay -- a noisy, quarrelsome thing known to rob other nests, and the sparrow hawk, a stealthy hunter. The message here: Don’t turn your back on this bird.

Waving The Wheat

Since the early days of KU football, it has been a ritual of Jayhawk fans to “wave the wheat” following every Kansas scoring drive. The ritual consists of fans waving their arms in the air, an activity which, when done by a large Memorial Stadium crowd, resembles a breezy Kansas wheat field.

The Nickname

During the Civil War a regiment raised by Kansas Governor Charles Robinson called itself the “Independent Mounted Jayhawks” (later officially the First Kansas Calvary and then the Seventh Kansas Regiment). By the end of the Civil War the word Jayhawk was associated with the spirit of camaraderie and the courageous fighting qualities that characterized efforts to keep Kansas a free state. By 1886, the University of Kansas had adopted the mythical bird as part of the KU yell. When the university’s football team first took the field in 1890, it seemed only natural that they should be called Jayhawkers. Few colleges and universities have such a meaningful symbol, one so deeply associated with the struggles of the people who founded them.
