WILDCATS LOOKING FOR EXPERIENCE TO PRODUCE RESULTS IN THE SPRING Down a set and facing a match point in favor of Nebraska last spring, K-State’s Olga Klimova was so nervous she couldn’t keep her body from shaking. Trailing 40-15 with the Wildcats behind the Huskers 31, a miscue by Klimova could give Nebraska the match. Klimova pulled herself together, not once, not twice, but three times, and rallied for a win over Ewelina Skaza. Feeding off the energy and emotion, Fernanda Da Valle and Jessica Simosa survived second set tiebreakers and ended the Huskers in the third set. Klimova’s match highlighted a stunning Wildcat comeback and capped an undefeated run through the Big 12 north by Kansas State. “It was a pretty amazing comeback,” Kansas State head coach Steve Bietau said of the regular-season ending win. “In my 26 years of coaching, I’ve never seen a match where a team was in this much trouble and came back and won. It was a great effort on our players’ part, to hang in there and keep fighting the way they did.” Perhaps more importantly, the match exposed a significant change in the Wildcats. Beforehand, Kansas State was a young, inexperienced team hoping to win matches. Afterward, the team emerged as a tough and gritty squad that knew how to win in tight situations. “I think it was an important point,” Bietau said. “It showed that they knew how to fight through a tough situation and not give up, in a way that we haven’t seen in a long time and in a way that we’d never seen from that group. They really had their back against the wall there. I think it was one of those moments where when your team experiences something like that, then they start to believe that maybe they can be good. It was one of those kinds of moments.” Following the win at Nebraska, Kansas State took

the momentum into the first round of the Big 12 Tournament, rolling past Oklahoma, 4-0, in the opening round. The Wildcats were eventually stopped by Texas A&M, a team that advanced to the NCAA Tournament and finished second in the Big 12 regular season standings, but Kansas State’s new attitude has lingered through the summer and fall. “Last year you could say that we were really young and didn’t have the experience,” Bietau said. “You can’t say that anymore. We go into this year with a lot better knowledge of what we’re going up against and what we have to do to be successful.” With a rigorous summer training schedule, the Wildcats dispersed for the summer, only to return in the fall stronger, faster, and more focused. “It’s possible to work hard and not have a good result, but with things that we’ve focused on I think there is a direct correlation with how hard they worked and what we’ll get out of it,” Bietau said. “First and

foremost, we had a great effort this fall. I would say across the board, there wasn’t a weak link. Physically we had a great effort and the conditioning went well. They practiced hard. While you’re doing this you’re hoping to instill some confidence and competitiveness and just a general attitude and a way of doing things that’s going to stick with you as you get into the spring season. I was very pleased, I thought they worked really hard, I thought they made a lot of progress this fall.” The 2007 squad doesn’t have any senior leadership but it does boast five juniors that Bietau will lean heavily on to lead the team. Despite the lack of seniors, Bietau sees the number of upperclassmen as an advantage. “It gives you a chance to work on different things,” Bietau said. “When you have a lot of young players, sometimes I feel like the fall is spent coaching them on how to be coached as opposed to coaching them on tennis. We’ve been fortunate with this group in that we’ve been able to focus a lot of time on how to be a better athlete and how to be a better tennis player. “The maturity level is pretty good as you would expect with as many juniors as we have on the team here. It definitely gives you a chance to move on to some higher level things and focus on more complex issues. Hopefully that’s going to put us farther down the road when we get to the spring.” With a number of question marks headed into the spring season, making any predictions for the Wildcats’ success is difficult, but after posting the first winning season since 2003, the team is looking to take the next step both in the Big 12 and on the national scene. “They go hand in hand with each other. If you do one you take care of the other. As you get into the top
KANSAS STATE WILDCAT TENNIS dddd SEASON PREVIEW i IS four, five and six teams in the Big 12, you’re dealing with nationally ranked teams and some of them really elite teams. That’s one of the things we talked about last spring as we were looking ahead and thinking about over the summer. That’s really been our focus for the last six or eight months. “Our schedule as usual, is going to be pretty tough. We’re going to face a lot of great teams. I wouldn’t say that there’s any one thing we need to do. Just get better in all areas. Our team last year competed pretty hard. The vast majority of the time I was happy with the way they competed. They can still do better. I think you can apply the same outlook to every area of our team. I think we have the capacity for greater leadership this year just because we have so many upperclassmen. Many of those upperclassmen have things to prove before they become great leaders. I’m hoping that we have more places on the team where that’s going to come from than we’ve had in a long time. “Each team is a little bit different. This team is going to have to find its own personality and its own way of operating. The time to do that is coming. I’m confident that they will do a good job based on everything they’ve done up to this point.” Da Valle broke out last season, leading Kansas State in both singles and doubles wins with 22. Da Valle proved to be a fierce competitor in dual play, notching a 14-6 dual record and an 8-4 mark in Big 12 contests. Da Valle was hampered this fall with a lingering foot injury and was held out of the first two tournaments before making a surprise comeback at the ITA Central Region Tournament in late October. Da Valle won her first match back and was one win away from earning a berth in the tournament’s main draw. “Based on Fernanda’s condition when she returned in August, I felt like if she was able to play the ASU Tournament in November, she would be on track for a great spring season. Through her hard work, she got ahead of schedule and was able to play two weeks earlier the ITA Central Region Tournament. Though she didn’t play enough matches to get to the top of her game, you could see a step ahead in maturity from last year and some exciting potential for this spring. “It will be great to see Fernanda playing at her full potential. Fernanda is a great ball striker. She has the capacity to do things that a lot of girls playing college tennis don’t do. Having said all of that, she still has a ways to go. Last year was an important year for her where she could kind of get her feet on the ground and start to learn what works and what doesn’t work. We saw a pretty good performance there and I think she can only get better this spring.” Despite playing much of the 2006 season in pain, Klimova proved to be one of Kansas State’s more reliable players in dual play and was a force in doubles. Klimova was 10-6 in dual play and finished third on the team with six singles wins in Big 12 action. In doubles, Klimova teamed with Da Valle to win 14 doubles matches, including a 93 record in Big 12 matches. Klimova added five more doubles wins to her total while rolling to a 52 record with Katerina Kudlackova in the fall. “She’s coming off of two knee surgeries. Last season she worked awfully hard just to get on the court and really never was healthy or was at the point where she could play like I know she’s capable of. She had another surgery at the end of last year. “Olga has battled so hard with the knee problems. We’re hoping she can get to a point where all her energy can be directed toward training and playing. She has made tremendous progress in that direction this fall. Once she is able to focus more on her tennis, I think you will really see her singles game pick up. She has been solid in doubles even when she was not 100 percent. That’s an area where she can be exceptionally strong. “When we saw her and Katka together, it was pretty evident that that could be a good doubles team. We didn’t play them together a lot but the look that they gave us when they were together was that I probably wouldn’t be able to keep them apart for too long. I’m really excited about what Olga brings to the team for doubles and then her leadership skills as a captain. She brings a competitiveness and also the sense of humor that she brings to practice every day and the matches is something that is very valuable.” As quiet as Kudlackova can be off the court, her 19 singles wins and 18 doubles wins in her debut season spoke loudly about the type of player she can be. Kudlackova had mixed results in dual play and in the conference, but showed flashes of being a very dynamic opponent. Kudlackova continued her steady progress throughout the fall, posting a 5-7 record and wins in the final two matches of the season. “Katka made some great improvements over the summer,” Bietau said. “She was healthy, she worked hard over the summer, she got to play some quality matches, and during that play came to realize some things that she was going to have to do to move up. She’s hitting through the ball a little more, hitting a little more penetrating ball. She’s always had great touch, always been able to move the ball around, but maybe lacked a little bit of power and wasn’t able to press people as much as she might have. She’s definitely made some improvements and I think you can see it in her singles play. She’s been so solid in doubles, whoever you put with her in doubles you have to consider them for our No. 1 doubles team. I think when you see that kind of situation, you know she’s strong there. “Katka is a solid player. She’s learning to play a little bit different way. She’s learning to take advantage of her serve more, her reach more, her ability to volley. She can play a game that’s not all that common
in women’s tennis in that she can come in quite a bit. Players who do that also have to be solid in the back court and I think she’s done some things there that make it easier for her to get in and put pressure on people and make her able to stay in points longer when she has to stay back.” After a freshman season that saw the record books rewritten, Tamar Kvaratskhelia spent the 2006 season showing that she knows how to win matches and do it at a very high level. Kvaratskhelia was 17-14 at the top of the Wildcats’ lineup last season and her career .695 winning percentage is second-highest in Kansas State history. Kvaratskhelia, who won her second All-Big 12 singles honor in 2006, posted a 6-4 singles mark in the fall and will be a huge factor in the success of the team this season. “Tako continued to work at her game this fall and we really saw an improvement in the last two tournaments. I think she’s approaching the All-Big 12 level that we’re used to seeing from her,” Bietau said. “She has at times had very good results in the fall, but at times she hasn’t. When we start playing dual matches and start playing one or two matches a week, start to get into a rhythm in doing that, she’s been an important part of our team and I expect that she will be this spring. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the 2006 season, Maria Perevoshchikova was 18-12 and climbed to the No. 1 spot as a freshman when Kvaratskhelia went down with an injury late in the season. Perevoshchikova missed the entire fall sea-

I’m really excited about the prospect of putting all these pieces knocking off anybody who wasn’t doing something special against her and then together and seeing what our team looks like in the spring.” reached a point where what she was doing started to be something special. We’re obviously hopeful for Maria and for our team that we’re going to get her back in there and she can really be a huge factor for us.” Tereza Prochazkova saw limited action for Kansas State last spring but when it mattered the most she competed the hardest. Prochazkova put together a 4-4 mark in dual play and won two matches for Kansas State during Big 12 competition. In the fall, Prochazkova played the most matches she’s been able to since arriving at Kansas State while earning three singles wins and four doubles wins. “Tereza has been very responsive to coaching. A year ago in the fall, I told her that she had to practice harder and be more focused. She did that. When she was a freshman she fought very hard in matches, we just didn’t see the same thing in practice. When she started her sophomore year the message was you know how to fight when you get in a match, let’s see you do that every day in practice and she did that. “Tereza came back from this summer in great shape and really ready to improve her game. Her serve is better and back hand is better and she earned the opportuity to play a lot more matches this fall. She’s certainly smart enough and hard working enough that she can get in there and be very competitive. If you have a category for players who have their act together – not just in tennis but in life in general, they know where they’re supposed to be, can see what they need to do, they’re willing to work hard and have a pretty good perspective on things – Tereza is right at the top on our team. Her maturity level is there and I see nothing but good things ahead for her this spring. “We wanted to get a lot of matches for her this fall and we were able to do that. I expect Tereza to play a bigger role that she did last year and I think she’ll be very important for our team this spring.” Prochazkova put forth a stellar effort in the classroom last year and earned First Team Academic All-Big 12 honors. Being the only freshman on an experienced team and handling the expectations of a program that has recently grown accustomed to very strong freshman success can be a daunting task, but Natasha Vieira shook it off and posted a 5-5 record in the fall. Vieira won in her first ever collegiate match during the Kansas State Invitational and won matches in every tournament she appeared in. “Natasha has probably taken as big a jump as anyone on our team this fall,” Bietau said. “I think some of that you attribute to being a freshman and being new and some of it you attribute to being in a college program where you train a little bit harder. “Her fitness level is improving, her strokes are improving, and she’s got a good head on her shoulders. She’s very coachable, it’s a relatively smooth process to work with her. That’s a compliment to her, especially being as young as she is. She doesn’t have some of the maturity issues that a lot of freshmen have. “She’s going to be able to help us, exactly where and exactly how, I’m not sure how that’s going to play out at this point. There are a number of things we just don’t know about this team yet and we won’t for two or three months, but Natasha will definitely be in there for us.” Perhaps the biggest and most surprising performance of the fall was the play of Viviana Yrureta. Yrureta tore through seven of her first eight opponents, cruising to Name Yr./Exp. Ht. R/L Hometown/Pevious School the Hoosier Classic Flight A Championship and run into the Fernanda Da Valle Jr./2L 5-7 R Mendoza, Argentina/Valentin Bonetti Round of 16 at the ITA Central Region Tournament.

Tereza Prochazkova Jr./2L 5-8 R Brno, Czech Republic/Brno “Just about everything that could go wrong last year Natasha Vieira Fr. 5-8 R Carabobo, Venezuela/La Salle did go wrong,” Bietau said. When she came in I thought Viviana Yrureta Jr. 5-5 R Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela/Ibero Americano that if things went well she could play in the middle of the lineup for us and really help us. We didn’t see her on the court enough to know what she was going to do and these are what her limits are.

KANSAS STATE WILDCAT TENNIS COACHING STAFF S STEVE BIETAUi HEAD COACH 23RD YEAR
Kansas State women’s tennis coach Steve Bietau enters his 23rd season as coach of the Wildcats. Bietau eclipsed the 200 win plateau in 2006 and his teams have won 207 dual matches in his 22 seasons as the leader of the Kansas State program. The continued success of his teams both on and off the court show Bietau’s knowledge and commitment to Kansas State University and the Wildcat tennis program. Bietau’s 2006 squad finished the season 11-10, the eighth season in Bietau’s tenure that the Wildcats finished with a winning record. The 2006 Wildcats went 6-5 in Big 12 competition and finished undefeated in the north division. Kansas State spent the entire season ranked in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) polls and finished the season as the No. 54 team in the nation. During the 2006 season, Alena Jecminkova, who played for Bietau and the Wildcats from 1999 to 2002, was named to the Big 12 Women’s Tennis 10th Anniversary Team. In 2003, the Wildcats had the best season of any Bietau team and posted a school-record 15 victories and a record-tying seven Big 12 wins en route to reaching the round of 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the first

time in school history. K-State upset No. 9 Virginia Commonwealth and No. 16 Northwestern before bowing out to No. 5 USC in the regional semifinals. It marked the third time the Wildcats have advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Kansas State finished the season at No. 32 in the ITA final poll and were ranked No. 1 in the ITA Central Region poll. Individually, Petra Sedlmajerova and Paulina Castillejos were ranked No. 4 in doubles in the region, while Sedlmajerova (No. 8), Maria Rosenberg (No. 13) and Jessica Simosa (No. 21) finished the season ranked in singles in the region. During the memorable season, the team posted a six-match winning streak, the fifthlongest in school history, and earned wins over NCAA Tournament participants Colorado and Missouri. Sedlmajerova was named to the All-Big 12 singles’ team, while Sedlmajerova and Castillejos were selected to the all-conference doubles team.
In additon, Sedlmajerova
became Kansas State’s career leader in both singles’ (77) and doubles’ (73) wins and third in singles’ winning percentage (.620). Also, Hayley McIver and Andrea Cooper won 22 and 20 matches, respectively, becoming the first Wildcats since 2001 to have a 20-win season. McIver was twice named the Big 12 Player of the Week on April 1 and 15. The success in 2003 was nothing new for Bietau, who has twice been named the conference coach of the year (1989, 2000) and ITA Central Region Coach of the Year (1990, 1996) during his 19 years in Manhattan. The 2000 Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year, Bietau had yet another successful season in 2000.

before falling to Kansas, 5-4, in the semifinals. In 1998, the Wildcats lost in the round of the regional to No. 3-seed New Mexico, 5-3. Kansas State’s success is due in large part to Bietau’s outstanding recruiting, especially on the international level. Bietau recruited Kansas State’s only two All-Americans, Yana Dorodnova (1998) and Karina Kuregian (1994) from Russia and Armenia, respectively.

KANSAS STATE WILDCAT TENNIS THIS IS KANSAS STATE S
THIS IS KANSAS STATE QUALITY The North Central Association's accreditation report, the equivalent of a grade card for colleges, gave a review so glowing it could have been an A+. The report praised K-State's "remarkable spirit" and "noteworthy" scholarship record.
STUDENTS About 22,000. More than 1,000 graduated first or second in their high school classes. That's more valedictorians and salutatorians than any other Kansas college.
COLLEGES Arts and sciences; engineering; agriculture; education; business administration; human ecology; architecture; planning and design; veterinary medicine; and technology and aviation (in Salina).
PROFESSORS Dean Zollman, a K-State physics professor, was named the 1996 Professor of the Year for research/doctoral universities by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
It's a vibrant time at Kansas State. The most easily recognizable part of this new period of growth and improvement comes in the form of enrollment figures. More than 23,000 students enrolled at Kansas State during the fall 2005 academic year. That's a stunning accomplishment for President Jon Wefald and his staff, who have spearheaded a huge enrollment increase since their arrival in 1986. Under his leadership, K-State has added about 2.0 million square feet of new university buildings, including a new library, a new art museum, and a nationally acclaimed plant science building. In addition, during the Wefald years enrollments increased from about 16,000 to more than 23,000; K-State has built a healthy endowment program and established a national presence in athletics. With Wefald at the helm, K-State's total research funding increased to record numbers. The university returns nearly $17 for every $1 of state funding it receives. Founded on February 16, 1863, Kansas State is the oldest public institution of higher education in Kansas and one of the nation's first land-grant universities. 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 664-acre wooded campus with historic sandstone buildings is located in Manhattan (pop. 49,000). It's a pleasant community nestled in the scenic Flint Hills, 125 miles west of Kansas City. Commuter air service in and out of Manhattan Regional Airport connects the city with major airports all over the Midwest. Located five miles north of campus is Tuttle Creek Reservoir, a favorite outlet of students for boating, water skiing, swimming and fishing. K-State has gained a nationwide reputation for producing prestigious scholarship winners. Only Yale, Stanford, Radcliffe and Harvard have had more. With such a reputation for excellence, it's no surprise that K-State's enrollment has surged to an all-time high of more than 23,000 students. Every county in the state, every state in the nation and numerous countries around the world are represented by students attending K-State. Over 200 course programs are offered in the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Business Administration, Agriculture, Education, Architecture and Design, Human Ecology, Technology and Aviation and Veterinary Medicine. The Graduate Schools offers 65 master’s degrees, 45 doctoral degrees and 22 graduate certificates in multiple disciplines across campus. There is more than $151 million available in student financial assistance, including $6.5 million in scholarships. Seven out of 10 students receive student 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 18 students, introductory art classes average 23 students and speech classes are limited to 23 students. Eighty percent of classes have 40 students or less, and the average class size for all undergraduate classes is 23 students. Only five percent of classes have 100 students or more.
DEGREES K-State offers more than 200 undergraduate majors and options, graduate study in veterinary medicine and 65 master's and 43 doctoral programs.
AWARDS Our students win big. The debate team has swept the national championships in two of the past six years. K-Staters have also captured national titles in competitions ranging from acting to yearbook design.
ACTIVITIES Campus organizations range from the hockey club to academic honoraries. More than 380 campus groups are available. The Landon Lecture series brings newsmakers such as Elizabeth Dole, Jimmy Carter and Colin Powell to campus.
FINANCIAL AID More than $70 million in scholarships, grants, loans, and work study is distributed each year.
CAMPUS HOUSING Students can choose from nine residence halls, 11 national sororities, 24 national fraternities, three scholarship houses or university apartments.

KANSAS STATE WILDCATS - 37t
KANSAS STATE WILDCAT TENNIS THIS IS MANHATTAN, KANSAS S
THIS IS MANHATTAN, KANSAS WELCOME TO THE LITTLE APPLE Manhattan is located in the northern end of the beautiful Flint Hills. The city was founded in the first days of Kansas settlement and currently has a population of 45,000 in the city, 100,000 in the immediate region. It is a modern, progressive city that is home to Kansas State University, the Fort Riley Military Reservation and several successful corporate citizens. It is located in north central Kansas, on Interstate 70, 125 miles west of Kansas City, and 50 miles west of the state capitol in Topeka.
HISTORY It was on Valentine’s Day in 1857 that Manhattan officially became a city in the Midwest. And it was only because the Kansas River had been low two years earlier that the city was located where it is now. It all began in the spring of 1855 when the Cincinnati Company left Ohio on the steamboat Hartford. They were headed for central Kansas via the Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri, and Kansas Rivers. Their goal: to settle a town and name it Manhattan, thinking it might become a second Manhattan, New York. On the way up the Kansas River, three men stopped, went ashore, and hired a wagon. They drove to what is now Junction City, where they intended to start the Manhattan of the Midwest. But the Hartford ran aground in the Kansas River south of the confluence of the Blue and Kansas Rivers. The Cincinnati Company and all of the small groups of settlers already in the area joined forces to form a town, which they agreed to call Manhattan. The first post office was established in 1856, and the city became incorporated February 14, 1857. Manhattan has grown steadily since then. Although
Approximately 20 of country music’s hottest artists performed at the 2006 Country Stampede. Manhattan, Kansas, may not be another New York City in size, residents of Manhattan of the Midwest think you’ll savor the savvy of “The Little Apple.” “The Little Apple” is home to more than 45,000 people today. Manhattan is nestled in among the picturesque Flint Hills, so named for their numerous bands of limestone and flint. These bands of flinty gravel convinced many an early settler that the land was not suitable for cultivation. A few resourceful pioneers, however, chose to stay and build their farmsteads in the sheltered valleys where water was available even in times of drought and where their cattle could graze on the grassy uplands. The Flint Hills region still remains largely untouched by the plow and is the last large preserve of native tallgrass prairie in the U.S. Today, Manhattan residents take pride in the local history. The community is especially proud of its nickname, “The Little Apple”-symbolic of a polished, wholesome Midwestern Manhattan, founded by pioneers who foresaw great things for this part of the U.S.
A TRUE COLLEGE TOWN 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 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 the 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 13,500-seat Bramlage Coliseum have become a favorite stop for major concerts throughout the year.
TUTTLE CREEK LAKE Tuttle Creek State Park and the Tuttle Creek Resevoir are located just north of Manhattan. The 12,500 acre lake offers everything a water sports or outdoors enthusiast could want. From water skiing to fishing, or a hike around one of the park’s many trails, there are numerous activities available just minutes from campus. - Located 5 miles north of Manhattan - Stocked with a wide vari ety of fish

KANSAS STATE WILDCAT TENNIS dddd POWERCAT STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING i IS PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE IN THE GYM The Powercat Strength and Conditioning Program is designed to “build better athletes,” not to develop powerlifters, Olympic weightlifters or body-builders. Led by the 1998 National Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year Rod Cole as well as assistant coaches Mark Oberkrom, Karl Kasselman and Scott Bird and the rest of the staff trains the Wildcats to play the game! Obviously, when most people think of strength coaches, they think of weightlifting. Kansas State’s Vanier strength complex boasts two weight rooms, over 12,000 square feet of floor space, 35,000 lbs. of weights, plus platforms, racks, benches and machines. In 2006 the John L. Allen Strength Center was completed at Tointon Family Stadium adding another 1,500 square feet of weight room access. Weight training is a big part of the program, but the strength and conditioning does not coach weightlifters, it trains athletes. It’s all about being prepared to win on game day. Speed development, agility, flexibility, coordination, endurance and nutrition are some of the areas that fall under the umbrella of strength and conditioning. Kansas State strives to develop the total athlete through a total body program. K-State employs nutrition counters in both strength facilities to “fuel the athletes” and equip them to meet the demands of training.

KANSAS STATE WILDCAT TENNIS TRADITIONS S NICKNAME Through its first 19 seasons of athletic competition, Kansas State had used “Aggies” as its nickname. But prior to the 1915 season, new football coach John “Chief” Bender gave his squad the nickname “Wildcats.” The moniker lasted the one season Bender coached at K-State. Under football coach Z.G. Clevenger in 1917, the school team became known as the “Farmers.” In 1920 another new football coach, Charles Bachman, took over the program, renaming the team “Wildcats.” This time, the nickname stuck.
WILLIE WILDCAT Willie, a student bedecked in a oversized Wildcat head, is Kansas State’s No. 1 fan. Willie Wildcats are selected yearly by a panel appointed by the cheerleading coach. The mascot is a central part of athletic contests, but also attends functions around the state as an ambassador. Traditionally, the identity of the student portraying Willie is kept secret.
KSU COLORS The school color Royal Purple was adopted in the fall of 1896 by a committee of “Miss Minnie L. Copeland, Jr. and Miss Winnifred Houghton and Miss Ina E. Holyrod, of the senior class, and perhaps one or more others.” Although KState’s only official color is purple, white has been used as a complimentary color for many years. Silver is also a common second or third color. Former head basketball coach Cotton Fitzsimmons incorporated gold during his twoyear stint (1968-70), but gold or yellow has not been used since that time. The term “Purple Pride,” which is often used in association with KSU athletics, was given rise during the tenure of head football coach Vince Gibson (196774).
POWERCAT LOGO One of the most recognizable athletic logos in the nation is the K-State Powercat. The logo was introduced by Bill Snyder shortly after his arrival in Manhattan as the attitude of the entire athletics department and university was changing. Manhattan native Tom Bookwalter, in cooperation with head coach Bill Snyder, created the powerful logo that is a prominent feature on the K-State football helmet, at Wagner Field, on the back of the Dev Nelson Pressbox, clothing, flags, bottled water, vanity plates for cars and just about anywhere there can be one.
SCHOOL SONGS The Alma Mater was selected as a result of an 1888 campus contest. H.W. Jones (’88) was responsible for K-State’s prized result. Jones’ original work was four stanzas including the chorus. His version has been slightly altered over the years to include just two stanzas and the changing of the words from KSAC to KSU. The school’s fight song is entitled “Wildcat Victory.”
ALMA MATER “I know a spot that I love full well, ‘Tis not in forest nor yet in dell, ever it holds me with magic spell, I think of thee Alma Mater. KSU, we’ll carry the banner high, KSU long, long may thy colors fly. Loyal to thee, thy children shall swell the cry. “Hail, Hail, Hail Alma Mater.”
WILDCAT VICTORY “Fight you K-State Wildcats. For Alma Mater fight-fight-fight. “Glory into combat for the purple and white. Faithful to our colors, we shall ever be, fighting ever fighting for a Wildcat Victory!”
WABASH CANNONBALL Everyone knows that familiar tune Wabash Cannonball. In fact, Wabash and KState are almost synonymous. What many people do not know is how the song became an integral part of Wildcat athletics. In the fall of 1969, the department of music burnt down. Every piece of music in the building was destroyed. The only thing that was salvaged was what was in the band director’s brief case. That included a piece of music titled the Wabash Cannonball. With an upcoming football game and no music, that left only one thing to do. The band members played the song loud and often. A song that originally had no connection became a second fight song.
SLOGANS Several chants and slogans are used in association with the team. “Purple Pride” and “Eat ‘Em Up, Eat ‘Em Up K-S-U” were mentioned earlier on this page. One slogan that has virtually died out is “Every Man A Wildcat.” The term was popular in the ‘50s, ‘60s and early ‘70s, and once adorned the front of the Ahearn Field House press box. Since the term referred to only one gender, however, it has faded. Kansas State, itself, is referred to in many different shortened versions. The most popular is “K-State,” which is used by alums, friends and journalists from coast to coast.

KANSAS STATE WILDCAT TENNIS UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION S Dr. Jon Wefald University President Pacific Lutheran ‘59 Few college presidents have been as well recognized nationally for improving the athletic and academic programs on a campus as has KState's Jon Wefald. Lauded by publications from the Christian Science Monitor to Sports Illustrated to USA Today, and by broadcasters like Paul Harvey, the accomplishments during Wefald's tenure have been well noted in the national media. USA Today called these achievements the "miracle in Manhattan." Under his leadership, K-State has added about 2.0 million square feet of new university buildings, including a new library, a new art museum, and a nationally acclaimed plant science building. In addition, during the Wefald years enrollments increased from about 16,000 to more than 23,000; K-State has built a healthy endowment program and established a national presence in athletics. With Wefald at the helm, K-State's total research funding increased to record numbers. The university returns nearly $17 for every $1 of state funding it receives. Since his arrival in 1986, K-State leads the nation's public universities in the total number of Rhodes, Marshall, Truman, Goldwater and Udall scholarship winners. 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. By recognizing and encouraging excellence, Wefald has helped K-State achieve the pinnacle of success. Before coming to K-State, Wefald served as Chancellor of the State University System in Minnesota from 1982-86, a system comprised of seven universities. He was president of Southwest State in Marshall, Minn., from 1977-82; Minnesota's Commissioner of Agriculture from 1971-77, and a member of the faculty at Gustavus Adolphus from 1965-70. He earned his B.A. from Pacific Lutheran in 1959, his M.A. in history and political science from Washington State University in 1961, and his doctorate in history from the University of Michigan in 1965. Born Nov. 24, 1937, Wefald is married to the former Ruth Ann Joynt. They have two adult sons, Skipp and Andy, both have earned degrees from K-State and both married K-State graduates.

Bob Krause has played a key role in the development of both the university and the athletic department since his appointment as K-State's vice president for institutional advancement in September 1986. Krause is the chief student affairs officer for Kansas State University and also oversees many of the day-to-day operations of the athletic department. He coordinates the university's on-going activities with the KSU Foundation, the K-State Alumni Association and works with various external groups such as the Board of Regents and other governmental agencies. Since his arrival at K-State, Krause has focused attention on ways to improve the attraction and retention of students; means by which the university can better assist Manhattan and the state of Kansas in the area of economic development through cooperative endeavors with local and state agencies; and ways to expand public awareness regarding the value society receives from the teaching, research and service provided by K-State faculty. Krause came to K-State from the Minnesota State University System, where he served as director of student affairs from 1983 to 1986. In that role, he coordinated system-wide policy and program development for seven state universities enrolling some 51,000 students. From 1975 to 1983, he served as vice president for student affairs at Southwest State University in Minnesota. Krause received his bachelor's degree in art education and art from Western Illinois University in 1967 and his master's in college student personnel work from Michigan State University in 1968. Born Sept. 12, 1945, Krause is married to Dr. Marty Vanier. He has three daughters - Katie and Kirsten, both graduates of K-State, and Kathy, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Asking 18 and 19-year-old college students what career they’re preparing for isn’t a question Michael Holen, dean of College of Education, tends to ask. Instead, Holen encourages students to pursue academic programs to provide them a range of intellectual experiences well beyond what they would need in any specific job. Holen, who has served as Faculty Athletics Representative since May of 1999, came to KState in 1971. He has served as a professor, department head and associate dean before being named dean of education in 1991. In 2004, he was appointed the Skeen Professor of Education as part of the university’s Faculty of Distinction program. In 1988, Holen received the Presidential Award for Distinguished Service to Minority Education after helping many predominantly black universities develop academic programs and administrative systems. In 2002, the faculty of the Leadership Studies Program named their annual outstanding leadership award in his honor. He has twice chaired the Regents’ Council of Education Deans and serves as K-State’s Faculty Athletics Representative to the Big 12 Conference. Holen earned his bachelor’s degree in history and literature from Stanford University and his master’s and doctorate degrees in educational psychology, both from the University of Oregon. He was designated Oregon’s 2004 Distinguished Alumnus of the College of Education.
KANSAS STATE WILDCAT TENNIS dddd ATHLETIC ADMINISTRATION i IS Tim Weiser Director of Athletics Emporia State ‘81, ‘82 In just five years as Athletics Director at Kansas State, Tim Weiser has guided Wildcat athletics to an unprecedented level of success that has seen it emerge as one of the Big 12 Conference’s premier programs. And while he is quick to deflect praise for Kansas State’s accomplishments toward student-athletes, coaches, staff, university administrators and the program’s loyal fans, few can argue that Weiser’s visionary leadership has spearheaded a complete transformation of the athletics department that has K-State poised to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. Guided by a philosophy of providing the best possible experience for Kansas State’s student-athletes, Weiser, who recently agreed to a 10-year rollover contract extension, has been able to focus the efforts of an entire department and as a result usher in the most successful era in athletics ever at K-State. Since his arrival in July of 2001, Weiser, 48, has employed a combination of strong management principles and his sound financial planning to yield consistent growth in the areas of revenues, donor and corporate support and facility enhancement. This focus on fund-raising and fiscal responsibility has enabled Kansas State to undertake an aggressive yet fiscally responsible approach to facility improvements that have yielded across-the-board upgrades for nearly all of K-State’s 16 intercollegiate athletics programs. In the last two years alone, K-State has completed a nearly $6 million upgrade to the Vanier Sports Complex and Bill Snyder Family Stadium, constructed new team facilities for the track & field and rowing programs, and installed new playing surfaces in just about all of its competitive and practice venues, including new FieldTurf in the Indoor Football Complex, Brandeberry Indoor Complex and Tointon Family Stadium. During his first year at Kansas State, construction was completed on Frank Myers Field at Tointon Family Stadium, bringing the Wildcats’ baseball facility to a stature as one of the best in the Big 12 Conference. Kansas State’s annual athletics operating budget has also taken quantum leaps forward under Weiser’s direction, growing from $27 million in fiscal year 2001 to one projected at over $37 million for the upcoming academic year. Additionally, Weiser’s forward-thinking philosophies have established the department’s first-ever reserve fund as K-State has finished in the black in each year of his tenure. On the field, the Wildcats continue to enjoy unprecedented success. K-State has sent no fewer than 10 of its 16 teams on to postseason play in each of the last three years, while producing 38 All-Americans. In 2003-04, Weiser’s third year at the helm, Kansas State became the first Big 12 institution to win conference championships in three top-tier sports (football, volleyball, women’s basketball) in the same year. And, if you consider that K-State also had at least one first-team academic All-American on each of those championship teams, one begins to get a clear picture of what K-State athletics have become during Weiser’s tenure. Kansas State has also become one of the conference leaders in classroom achievement. Over the past three years nearly half of K-State’s student-athletes have achieved a grade-point average of 3.0 or better, earning Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll distinction. The popularity of Wildcat athletics has also skyrocketed to an all-time high under Weiser’s direction. The football and men’s basketball programs are expected to both produce impressive increased season-ticket sales numbers in 2006-07, while the women’s volleyball and basketball programs both continue to rank among the national leaders in attendance. On the diamond, K-State baseball enjoyed its highest average season attendance ever at Tointon Family Stadium during 2006.
This increase in popularity, combined with the public’s confidence in Weiser’s leadership, has helped generate record revenues in the areas of fund-raising, corporate sponsorship and media rights. The number of contributors to the Mike Ahearn Scholarship fund is now approaching 8,000, representing a 25 percent increase over 2002-03 and a nearly 50 percent increase from Weiser’s first year at K-State. Corporate support of K-State athletics is also at an all-time high, buoyed by a recordsetting five-year sponsorship pact with ALLTEL. Weiser has also negotiated new deals for K-State’s radio and third-tier television rights, including a 10-year multimedia and marketing rights contract with Learfield Communications, Inc., that is the largest revenue contract in the history of Wildcat athletics. In an effort to continue this era of success, Weiser implemented a first-ever Strategic Plan to serve as a blueprint for the department during the next three years. The plan encompasses every aspect of the department and includes K-State’s ongoing effort to provide its student-athletes with top-notch facilities. Weiser’s accomplishments in bringing significant and positive changes to the K-State athletics landscape have not gone unnoticed as he has developed a strong profile on the national level. A recently-named member of the NCAA Championships Cabinet as well as the NCAA Baseball Committee, Weiser was selected as the 200405 NACDA Central Region Athletics Director of the Year in June. He has also received the General Robert Neyland Outstanding Athletics Director Award from the AllAmerica Football Foundation and is a member of the Executive Committee of NACDA. As an active member of the NCAA Division I-A Athletic Director’s Association Board of Directors, Weiser has additionally been involved with a number of university visits as part of the NCAA Division I Peer Review program. Named Kansas State’s 13th Director of Athletics on July 1, 2001, Weiser’s arrival at K-State was a homecoming for the native Kansan, who was raised in Great Bend and received his bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in counseling from Emporia State while competing on a baseball scholarship. He came to Kansas State after a successful three-year run as Director of Athletics at Colorado State, where Ram athletics experienced a similar renaissance that included record increases in fund-raising and revenue generation and the completion of the $8 million Fum McGraw athletic center. Weiser also played a central role in the development of the Mountain West Conference during his CSU tenure. He was involved in hiring the commissioner, negotiating television packages and developing the conference’s constitution and bylaws. Prior to his tenure at Colorado State, Weiser served as athletics director at Eastern Michigan for four years and held the same position at Austin Peay State University from July 1988 to September 1993. At Eastern Michigan, he directed an athletics department which included 22 sports. In his four seasons, he turned a deficit of more than a half-million dollars into a six-figure surplus while simultaneously adding two new women’s sports. In all, EMU won 14 conference championships during his tenure and in 1996 captured the Reese Trophy, awarded annually by the Mid-American Conference for overall excellence in men’s sports. He also directed and supervised the design and construction of a $30 million convocation center which opened in October 1998. In his first stint as an athletics director at Austin Peay, Weiser’s five-year tenure witnessed the development of a number of academic programs to enhance the support of student-athletes at the school while spearheading various fund-raising endeavors which generated more than $1 million in facility improvements. Weiser worked for five years at Wichita State, serving in various roles from February 1983 through July 1988. He directed the compliance office and supervised the academic support unit before moving into a role in the development office, where he was responsible for the bulk of fund-raising for improvements to Wichita State’s baseball facility. Weiser spent his last year at Wichita State as the associate athletics director and was responsible for day-to-day operations of the Shockers’ programs. Weiser and his wife, Susan, are the parents of two children. Melanie is a gymnast at the University of Arizona, while Rudy is currently a standout catcher on the Manhattan High School baseball team.
“If we do our job well, in four or five years our student-athletes will walk across the stage and grab a diploma, and if on that hand is a championship ring, we will have provided the best experience possible.” - TIM WEISER

The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is committed to providing fair and equitable treatment for all student-athletes and athletic department personnel, including women and minorities.
PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics shall assure that all intercollegiate sports programs and department operations are consistent with the mission of Kansas State University. Student-athletes and department employees should be treated fairly and equitably regardless of gender or race. All department activities will be conducted within the rules, regulations and policies of Kansas State University, the Big XII Conference and the NCAA. The Department’s decision-making process shall be based upon consideration of the academic, emotional and physical welfare of every current and future student-athlete. The learning experience to be provided to student-athletes should promote social, moral, emotional, cultural, and vocational growth and development and should emphasize the value of sportsmanship, loyalty, teamwork, & individual accountability. An environment promoting excellence will allow the physically talented and gifted student-athlete to achieve maximum potential.
What Every Alumnus and Booster of Kansas State University Should Know About the NCAA As a supporter of K-State, you have a lot of pride in your school. You are proud of KSU’s high academic standards, our adherence to values and the overall quality of the K-State experience. Kansas State has a long tradition of integrity but to help assure compliance with NCAA and conference rules, please take a few minutes to read this information. The eligibility of Kansas State’s student-athletes and reputation of the department and university depend greatly upon your cooperation. Key Point A “representative” of Kansas State’s athletic interests is: an individual who is known (or who should have been known) by a member of K-State’s executive or athletics administration to: A) have participated in or to be a member of an agency or organization promoting KSU athletics. B) have made financial contributions to the athletic dept. or to an athletic booster organization of K-State. C) have been involved otherwise in promoting the institution’s athletic program.

DAVID FLORES Assistant Athletics Director/Compliance
KRISTIN WALLER Assistant Compliance Director
Key Rule: NCAA BYLAW 13.01.5 In Division I, representatives of athletics interest are prohibited from making in-person, on-or-off campus recruiting contacts, written, telephonic communications or e-mail transactions with a prospect or the prospect’s relatives or legal guardians. Interpretations 1. A representative of a Division I institution is prohibited from making in-person recruiting contact with a prospect and his or her parents/guardian on or off campus. Limited Exception: You may have contact with a prospect regarding permissible pre-enrollment activities such as summer employment, provided the prospect has already signed a National Letter of Intent and K-State is aware that you are making these contacts in regard to employment. 2. A Division I representative is prohibited from writing or telephoning a prospect and his or her parents or legal guardians. Limited Exception: You may have a phone conversation with a prospect only if the prospect initiates the call. Such a call may not be prearranged by a KState staff member and you are not permitted to have a recruiting conversation, but may exhibit normal civility. You must refer any questions about the University’s athletic program to the athletic department. 3. A representative is prohibited from contacting a prospect’s coach, principal, or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the prospect. Limited Exception: NCAA rules do not preclude you from viewing a prospect’s contest on your own initiative, but you may not contact the prospect, pick up game films or transcripts. What can I do? If you know of a high school or junior college student-athlete who might want to attend Kansas State, the only permissible activity for a representative is to call the appropriate K-State coach. What is an “Extra Benefit?” An extra benefit would include provision of any transportation, meals, clothes, entertainment, preferential loan terms, wages not commensurate with duties, or other benefits offered to a prospect or current student-athlete which is unavailable to the general student population. What can you do with prospects? DO feel free to attend high school and junior college athletic events. You simply cannot have any contact with the prospective student-athletes or relatives. Should you find yourself seated next to parents of a prospect, DO NOT initiate conversation with the relatives. If conversation is initiated with you, respond in a civil manner, but DO NOT discuss K-State’s athletic program with them. If they raise questions about
ANDREW HAMOR Assistant Compliance Director
VERA WHITE Administrative Assistant/Compliance
athletics, remind them that the NCAA prohibits you from discussing athletics with them. Direct their questions to the athletic department. You MAY discuss the University in general, and its academic programs. DO continue established family relationships with friends and neighbors. Contacts with sons and daughters of those families are permitted as long as they are not made for recruiting purposes and are not prompted by Wildcat coaching staff members. You ARE permitted to play “pick up” games, continue neighborhood picnics or backyard barbecues and engage in your normal activities with prospects and their parents who are family friends. DO feel free to attend a public event (i.e. awards dinner) at which prospects are in attendance. NO attempt should be made to contact or recruit the prospect at these events. What can I do for current K-State athletes? DO feel free to invite a student-athlete to your home for an occasional meal, but you must first contact the coach in the sport in which the student-athlete is a participant. Remember, the student-athlete must provide his or her own transportation. You may do this a max of once per school term per athlete. DO feel free to invite a team for dinner or to meet with a group of alumni in a city where they are competing. The NCAA permits student-athletes AS A TEAM to receive special benefits not permitted as individuals. Arrangements for such events must be made in advance with the head coach or appropriate athletic staff member. Other questions and answers: Q. May I accompany the coach during a “home” visit with the prospect? A. No Q. May a booster group finance a season-ending banquet? May it purchase any awards for the team? A. Yes, provided all funds are expended through the athletic department. Since the NCAA has established a value limit on awards received by studentathletes, it is important to have all awards approved by the athletic department. Additional Reminders 1. Please contact the athletic department for NCAA rules interpretations. 2. Remember that in most cases: CONTACT is prohibited. 3. If you think it is wrong then it probably is wrong. 4. No question is too dumb to ask. 5. Questions: Call 785-532-6910
