GARY STANLEY

www.LATechSports.com

2012 LOUISIANA TECH TRACK & FIELD

Consistency is key when establishing a winning formula and for over 30 years, Gary Stanley has consistently fielded winning track and field programs at Louisiana Tech. The 2012 campaign marks Stanley’s 24th year as head coach at LA Tech. During that span, Stanley has guided the Bulldog and Lady Techster track and field programs through four different conference affiliations and a bevy of national landscape changes but the constant factor throughout that time span has been LA Tech continuing to win championships. In over three decades in Ruston, Stanley has amassed 21 Coach of the Year titles by his conference peers and won 19 conference championships in four different leagues as a head coach. When he was an assistant coach, Tech won another two conference titles to bring Stanley’s overall trophy haul to 21 conference championships. The most recent string of success has been a dominating women’s program that has won 13 of the last 14 Western Athletic Conference championships including seven consecutive outdoor titles. The Lady Techsters have laid claim to the 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 WAC Outdoor Championships and the 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 WAC Indoor Championships while the men continuously challenging for the top as well. Four different conferences have bestowed the coach of the year honor on Stanley including the Southland, American South, Sun Belt and Western Athletic Conferences. Stanley’s long and illustrious career in Ruston began in 1982 when he started his collegiate coaching career as a graduate assistant fresh off coaching a Louisiana High School Athletic Association Class 4A state championship at Bonnabel High School in 1980. He coached John Ratcliffe at Bonnabel High School as the future Tech star set the Louisiana state record in the 3,200-meter run with a time of 9:12, a mark that still stands today. Ratcliff then ran an astounding 8:53 in the 3,200m at a national high school postseason event before going on to have a stellar career as a Bulldog. In 1984, Stanley was promoted from graduate assistant to a full-time assistant coach. Also in that year, he was given the reigns as the head coach for the cross country program here at Tech. Two years later, he guided Tech’s men to a Southland Conference cross country title. Stanley, after being a district champion in the mile and being crowned the city of New Orleans Cross Country Champion while at East Jefferson High School, went on to letter one year at Pensacola Junior College and three years at Southeastern Louisiana. His honors include the 1970 New Orleans cross country city champion, 1972 Southern AAU three-mile champion, 1973 Southern AAU one-mile champion, 1975 U.S. Track and Field Federation all-regional cross country and the 1975 LSU Invitational three mile champion. One of Stanley’s highlights was helping lead SLU to its only conference cross country championship in 1973 while finishing eighth overall in the race. Stanley attributes his success to the guidance of former head coach Jerry Dyes during his six-year assistant position under Dyes.

“Coach Dyes was the greatest coach I’ve ever been around,” said Stanley. “He was so instrumental in my growth as a young assistant.” After serving six years as a full-time assistant in Ruston, Stanley was named the head coach at Louisiana Tech in 1988. Since then, his program has become one of the best and most consistent on the Louisiana Tech campus and throughout the state in track and field. Prior to the team’s WAC title winning streak, Tech’s biggest team achievement under Stanley’s guidance came at the national championships in 1999 with the women’s team finishing 17th in the country in 1999 at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Boise, Idaho, ahead of national powerhouses Tennessee, Michigan and Miami. The women’s team finished 10th at the NCAA MidEast Regionals in 2004 with 22 points, placing the Lady Techsters second in the state behind LSU and ahead of national elite programs like Wisconsin, Michigan State, Purdue and Ole Miss. The Lady Techster 4x400m relay teams in 2007 claimed All-America honors both indoors and outdoors with the outdoor relay finishing third in the nation. Stanley’s expertise with distance runners has led Tech to qualify runners in every event at nationals from the 800 meters to the 10,000 on the men’s side. LSU is the only other track program in the state to accomplish such a feat. In the past 35 years, the WAC holds an impressive 18 national titles in track and field, meaning Stanley has faced a tough task of making Tech competitive among the nation’s best track and field squads. After more than a decade in the WAC, Stanley has shown that his Tech program not only belongs but sets the standard. Stanley has rebuilt the women’s program from the bottom of the league to a perennial powerhouse that needs no introduction while the Bulldogs have emerged from the basement of the league to the top three with hopes of winning it all soon.

SHAWN JACKSON

2012 LOUISIANA TECH TRACK & FIELD

Shawn Jackson is in his 17th year as an associate head coach at his alma mater, coaching Tech in jumps, sprints and hurdles. Not only does he coach those events but he has also made a name as an excellent recruiter. He was responsible for Louisiana Tech’s latest track and field first team All-American during the 2011 indoor season when Chelsea Hayes finished eighth in the long jump at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Hayes garnered second team All-America honors during the outdoor season in the long jump while freshman Trey Hadnot was second team All-America in the 200m. His triple jumpers finished an impressive 1-2-4-5 to score 27 points and clinch Tech’s seventh consecutive outdoor conference title. The LA Tech grad also guided then-freshman Trey Hadnot to a third-place finish at the USATF Jr. Championships as Hadnot advanced to compete for Team USA at the Pan American Junior Championships, claiming a bronze medal for the Americans. Jackson’s coaching enabled Tiana Davis to advance to the NCAA Championships in the long jump in 2010 while Davis (long jump), Chelsea Hayes (long jump), Brittany Guy (triple jump) and Quatisha Williams (long jump and triple jump) all were ranked in the top 50 in the nation. The Jackson-guided jumpers, sprinters and hurdlers dominated the WAC Indoor and Outdoor Championships in 2009 with the women’s program claiming both titles and the men’s team recording its best performance in the last few years. The 2008 season for Jackson and his athletes was another banner year as Jackson coached sprinter Mike Coleman to a 19th place finish in the nation in the 100 while the men’s 4X100 team finished second overall at the Mideast regional’s in Fayetteville, Ark. with a time of 39.66 seconds to qualify to compete in the nationals meet. Jackson’s reward for his hard work, dedication and national qualifying athletes was the 2008 men’s United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches’ Association Assistant Coach of the Year. The 2007 campaign saw Jackson’s women’s 4x400 team capturing fifth place at the Indoor NCAA Championships while senior Nina Gilbert added another All-American credential with a fifth place finish in the women’s 400. The outdoor season proved to be an even bigger stage for Jackson’s sprinters as they ended the season at the NCAA Championships with a third place finish in the 4x400 relay with a time of 3:28.90. That mark at the time was the eight fastest time in the world, as well as a school and conference record. Both Miriam Barnes (400h) and Nina Gilbert (400) earned All-American status in their respective events. The success continued with the men as both Albert Fullwood and Michael Coleman qualified for nationals in the 200 while finishing fourth and fifth in a tough Mideast Region. In the past two WAC Outdoor Championships, the sprinters have captured the100, 200, 400, 4x100 and 4x400 on both the men and women’s side while the jumpers captured a long jump and triple jump title, as well as two second place finishes in 2007. His recruiting power has definitely shown as plenty of his sprinting recruits have helped Tech tremendously to women’s outdoor conference titles in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and indoor conference championships in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009. For his efforts in 2006, Jackson was named Mideast Region Assistant Coach of the Year as Tech’s nationally-renowned relay teams saw success yet again in both indoor and outdoor. Jackson was instrumental in Tech’s climb to Sun Belt Conference champions back in the 1990’s and now is a big part of building Tech into one of the top track and field programs in the Western Athletic Conference and in the country. Jackson’s work can be seen from the recent exploits of his sprinters, hurdlers and jumpers in the Tech record books. In 2004, Jackson’s athletes broke an impressive ten records during the season with several athletes and events earning national recognition. Even more impressive is that the athletes Jackson has coached in the past 13 years own 30 out of a possible 43 school records at Louisiana Tech with 19 of the records coming in the past five years since 2005. Jackson has also been extremely successful in putting together record setting relay teams as he has coached all but three of the sprint relay teams that own school records at Tech. Both the men’s and women’s 4X100 and 4X400 relay teams have achieved top 15 rankings over the years while setting school records under Jackson’s direction. In the summer of 2008 runners Miriam Barnes, Nina Gilbert and Latonia Wilson all competed at the United States Olympic Trials after successful campaigns running for Jackson at Tech. He has also coached current stars Mike Coleman and Albert Fullwood to numerous school records as well as helping Coleman to All-American status in 2007. These are just a few examples of a very good crop of athletes that have shown success under Jackson’s guidance. Jackson also coaches the jumpers as Tech consistently puts out top finishes in the WAC championships in the jumping events with the most recent up and coming star being sophomore Quatisha Williams who finished second in the long jump and fourth in the triple jump at the WAC indoor championships in 2009. One of Jackson’s most successful jumpers came through from 2002-2005 in Ayanna Alexander who competed in the NCAA Indoor Championships and earned All-American honors in 2004. Alexander also competed at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the triple jump after winning the WAC title during the 2004 outdoor season as well. Jackson also serves as the head women’s bowling coach at Louisiana Tech. Originally from Buffalo, N.Y., Jackson ran track for the Bulldogs from 1990-92. After finishing up his career on the track, he completed the required course work for his general studies degree in 1994. Soon after that, he completed the required course work for a master’s degree in sports science.

LARRY CARMICHAEL,

Assistant Coach

PH.D.

With over 28 years of coaching experience in track and field, 20 of which has come at Louisiana Tech, Larry Carmichael has established a national reputation for consistently developing world-class throwers. This is evident as Carmichael has guided at least one thrower to the NCAA championship meet each of the past 16 years. During his tenure, he has coached 56 conference champions, 36 NCAA Division I Regional qualifiers, 24 Division I National qualifiers and 11 All-Americans with three of those 11 finishing as the national runner-up. Carmichael’s throwers excel at Louisiana Tech and beyond, evidenced most recently as former Tech standout and Jamaican national Jason Morgan finished 18th in the discus at the 2011 World Championships in Daegu, South Korea with a throw of 210-5 (64.14m). Morgan is a familiar face in international competition with appearances at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Japan, the 2007 Pan American Games and the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games where he won the silver medal in the discus with a throw of 188-7 (57.48m). He is also the Jamaican national record holder in the discus and has already qualified for the 2012 Olympics in London. In 2009, Carmichael coached Louisiana Tech’s first Penn Relay throws champion as Nadia Alexander’s shot put of 54-8.75 (16.68m) claimed the title at one of the nation’s premiere and historic track and field meets. In addition to a Penn Relays champion, Carmichael has guided two Tech throwers to Texas Relays titles with BrendaGrace Hunt winning the javelin with a throw of 186-8 (56.90m) in the 2005 and April Malveo winning the discus with a throw of 187-10 (57.26m) at the 1999 event in Austin, Texas. A Carmichael product and two-time All-American, Olivia McKoy represented her native Jamaica at the 2008 Olympic Games held in Beijing, China where she placed 34th with a throw of 182-1 (55.51m). That marked the second Olympic appearance for McKoy as she also competed at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. She has also appeared in the 2006 British Commonwealth Games where she won the bronze medal with a javelin throw of 192-2 (58.58m). McKoy is the Jamaican national record holder in the javelin. Carmichael has also guided All-American Melissa Gibbons as she competed in the shot put and discus for Jamaica in the 2002 British Commonwealth Games. In 1999, Carmichael’s thowers claimed three All-American honors as the Tech women throwers finished in the top five at the NCAA Championships. As a full team, Louisiana Tech finished a program-best 17th at the NCAA Championships that year. A four-year letterman in track and field at Kent State, Carmichael received his bachelor’s degree in 1968 before spending time as a graduate assistant under the legendary Douglas L. Raymond. He was also the head coach of cross country and track and field at Meramec Community College in St. Louis, where he developed All-Americans in the long jump and high jump and established those events at that school. After his tenure at Meramec, Carmichael spent time as a volunteer assistant at Michigan State while completing his doctorate in education. From 1988-91, he coached throwers at Essex High School in Vermont where he produced 10 state champions in just four years, before taking his current position at Louisiana Tech. He and his wife, Diane, live in nearby Arcadia and have four grown children.

He brought a resume with coaching experience in the ACC and Big 12 and has coached 11 all-Americans prior to joining the Tech family. His first year in Ruston saw a continuation of a Lady Techster dominance in the Western Athletic Conference as Tech claimed the women’s indoor and outdoor titles, scoring a majority of the points with Wickard’s hurdlers. Wickard came to Louisiana Tech from North Carolina, where he was a volunteer sprints and hurdles coach with the Tar Heels. He coached two indoor all-Americans and helped guide the men’s team to the ACC Indoor Championships runners-up title, the program’s best finish since 2002.

Starting with the 2009 season, Louisiana Tech’s championship track and field programs had a state-of-the-art facility to call home. For decades the programs had overcome an outdated facility adjacent to Joe Aillet Stadium on Louisiana Tech’s campus, still managing to win several championships. That all changed in March 2008 when construction began on a new facility. Since the sport of track has changed drastically from the time the old track at Tech was constructed in the 1970s, several updates were needed. Furthermore, because the new track was being built in the same area as the previous one, the old track needed to be completely removed. Not that the old facility didn’t enjoy its time in the sun; on the contrary, it hosted the three Southland Conference Championships as well as the 1991 American South Conference Championships. One of the many upgrades with the new track is a practice field in the middle, which can be used for soccer and football. To accommodate the need, the new track needed to be wider than the previous one. “The new facility allows us to practice better and more efficiently,” Tech head men’s and women’s track coach Gary Stanley said. “It also contains several throwing and jumping areas so our teams can practice at the same time.” Completed in August 2008, the new Jim Mize Track and Field Complex includes a modern drainage system, a much bigger high jump apron and a new location for the steeplechase course. Previously on the outside of the track, the steeplechase pit has been moved on the inside, similar with most tracks. The updated facility allowed Louisiana Tech to host the 2010 Western Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships where the Lady Techsters won their seventh consecutive outdoor title and their 11th WAC title in 12 tries. Head coach Gary Stanley believes the new tartan surface track will not only benefit his teams physically, but psychologically. “The facility benefits us after we come home from a meet,” Stanley said. “Now, we know we are coming home to a facility that is on par with the facilities we typically see.” The new facility also contains the resources needed to adapt to changes in the wind. For instance, if wind is present, the javelin, discus and shot put events can occur from two different areas. For runners, the starting blocks can be moved depending on the direction of the wind as well. “Without a doubt, the new track facility will make a difference with recruits,” Stanley said. “We now have a first class facility for our athletes who are getting a first class education and that is something we really stress in our program.” Along with the new track is a new sand volleyball court located on the north end of the track. Like the new track, the volleyball court can also be illuminated. The court will be used for intramural sand volleyball and as a training tool for the football team. On Nov. 1, 2008, Tech President Dr. Dan Reneau announced that the track facility would once again be named the Jim Mize Track and Field Complex. Mize attended Tech as an athlete from Fair Park High School in Shreveport, La. and later came back to the university as a coach. He coached football alongside Aillet and Maxie Lambright for 24 years. During his time at Tech, Mize also built a consistent track program. As a track coach, he won conference championships in 1961, 1973 and 1974.

LOUISIANA TECH

DR. DAN RENEAU University President

For over half a century, President Dan Reneau and Louisiana Tech University have shared a reputation for higher education excellence, leadership and performance that is unrivaled anywhere in the State of Louisiana. With a passion for service and a commitment to his University and its constituents, Dr. Reneau has become one of the most respected and admired educational leaders in the history of Louisiana higher education. Dr. Reneau’s many accomplishments at Louisiana Tech began with a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering in 1963. He also earned a master’s degree from Tech in chemical engineering in 1964, followed by a doctorate from Clemson University in 1966. Dr. Reneau returned to Louisiana Tech in 1967 as an assistant professor of chemical engineering and quickly distinguished himself as a scholar and researcher. He has published over 80 technical papers in books and journals, edited five books, and attended over 100 international meetings and conferences. In 1972, Dr. Reneau was responsible for establishing Louisiana Tech’s Biomedical Engineering Department – one of the first of its kind in the United States. The department and its undergraduate curriculum became only the fifth program accredited in the nation. The Biomedical Engineering Ph.D. program was later awarded a Commendation of Excellence by the Louisiana Board of Regents. Dr. Reneau’s continued vision and leadership resulted in his appointment as Louisiana Tech’s Vice President of Academic Affairs in 1980. In this capacity, he served as chief academic officer to some 400 faculty housed in six colleges and three professional schools, offering 160 different degree programs. During his tenure, every major program with an accrediting agency was awarded accreditation. He was also instrumental in establishing Louisiana Tech’s Center for Biomedical Engineering and Rehabilitation Science. On February 20, 1987, the Board of Trustees for State Colleges and Universities selected Dr. Reneau as the 13th President of Louisiana Tech University. While accomplishments have been many during Dr. Reneau’s tenure as President of Louisiana Tech, some of the most notable include the implementation of selective admissions, achievement of Division I-A football status, establishment of the Institute for Micromanufacturing (IfM), construction of a new state-of-the-art Biomedical Engineering facility, attainment of the Carnegie Research University/High Research Activity classification, and the establishment of a 50-acre research park between the Tech campus and downtown Ruston called Enterprise Campus. In 1995, Dr. Reneau was awarded the Distinguished Arthur T. Prescott Professorship in Engineering. In 1999, the Clemson Alumni Association, in conjunction with Clemson University, installed Dr. Reneau as an inaugural Alumni Fellow of the University. The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering selected Dr. Reneau as a 2000 AIMBE Fellow. In 2002, he was awarded the Newell Perry Award by the National

www.LATechSports.com

Federation of the Blind – the highest honor that is given by the National Federation of the Blind. In recent years, Dr. Reneau has led Louisiana Tech to the University of Louisiana System’s (ULS) highest graduation rate, highest retention rate, highest average freshman ACT score, and fastest time-to-completion rate for first-time baccalaureates as well as achieving record graduate enrollment and doctoral graduates. Louisiana Tech has twice been ranked in the nation’s top ten for graduating students with the least amount of debt by U.S. News & World Report (2010 and 2011) and was the highest ranked Louisiana public university in mid-career median pay for graduates, according to PayScale.com (2010). Tech was also north Louisiana’s only public university to make the 2010 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. As he enters his 25th year as Louisiana Tech President, Dr. Dan Reneau continues to share his vision for moving Louisiana Tech forward and strengthen his commitment to serving the students and alumni of his University. Through Dr. Reneau’s leadership, Louisiana Tech University has transformed itself from an aspiring regional university into one of the state’s premier research institutions. Dr. Reneau is a native of Woodville, Mississippi and is married to the former Linda Digby of Bernice, whom he met as a student at Louisiana Tech. They have two children, John and Dana, who are also both Louisiana Tech alumni. John currently lives in Las Vegas and Dana lives in Baton Rouge with her husband, Jim Bernhard, and their two sons, Michael and Ben.

Athletics Director

DE VELDE

Bruce Van De Velde begins his second full year as athletics director at Louisiana Tech after being promoted in February of 2010 by Louisiana Tech President

www.LATechSports.com

2012 LOUISIANA TECH TRACK & FIELD

Dr. Dan Reneau. Van De Velde was originally hired at LA Tech in June of 2008 as deputy athletics director and chief operating officer but took over full leadership of a department that fields 16 NCAA Division I sanctioned programs, including nine women’s and seven men’s sports, that compete in the highly-competitive Western Athletic Conference. “Bruce is well qualified by national standards to fill the position of athletics director at Louisiana Tech,” Reneau said. “I feel that we made an excellent choice in selecting him to lead Tech athletics to national prominence and to serve the needs of our student-athletes.” Van De Velde came to Ruston with a long history of Division I athletic administration experience, including stints as athletics director at Iowa State and Utah State. “It is an honor to be named as the director of athletics at Louisiana Tech University,” Van De Velde said. “I look forward to serving our student-athletes, faculty, staff, alumni and fans. Our vision is to build a program to a level where we can be associated with universities that aspire to academic and athletic excellence at the highest level. “This goal is consistent with the vision President Reneau has established for the University which is to become north Louisiana’s premier national research university. In order to accomplish this vision we must engage all of our 80,000 alumni, fans and supporters and ask them for their participation. It takes resources to achieve our goal, and we need every one to support the program.” During his tenure Van De Velde has been instrumental in a number of accomplishments that have helped further the advancement of the University’s athletic department, including: • Developed and implemented the largest fundraising campaign in athletic department history in the Quest for Excellence, a $20 million capital campaign to upgrade facilities. • Assisted with the development, negotiation and implementation of a $6.75 million multi-media and marketing rights agreement with Learfield Communications. Contract more than doubled revenue derived from corporate sponsorships and created statewide radio network for Louisiana Tech athletics. • Negotiated and signed a partnership with the Aspire Group, forming a Fan Relationship Management Center which will include six sales consultants devoted to selling and serving Louisiana Tech Athletics ticket holders.. • Negotiated a $3.6 million University and athletic department pour rights and corporate sponsorship agreement with Pepsi. • Reorganized annual giving program doubling the number of donors and increased total annual contributions to the program by 75 percent. Developed marketing efforts to strengthen outreach and established an agenda for growth. • Led a national search in January of 2010 to hire head football coach Sonny Dykes from the University of Arizona. Also, led a national search in April of 2011 to hire head men’s basketball coach Mike White from Ole Miss. • Student-athlete graduation success rate of 70 percent in 2010 was the highest in the history of the University and one of the tops in the nation. All 16 sports programs were penalty free. • In 2010, the Louisiana Tech athletic department earned the PRISM Award for excellence in athletics management under Van De

Velde’s leadership. The department also won the NCAA Pack the House for the Western Athletic Conference all four years for its marketing and promotions effort for women’s basketball. Tech has also seen plenty of success on the fields and courts since Van De Velde’s arrival at Tech as the Bulldog football team captured its first bowl victory in more than 30 years with the 2008 Independence Bowl title. The Lady Techster basketball team won the 2009 and 2011 regular season Western Athletic Conference titles, and the 2010 WAC Tournament title while the women’s indoor and outdoor track and field teams won the 2009, 2010 and 2011 league titles. This past year Louisiana Tech recorded its best finish ever in the Western Athletic Conference’s Commissioner’s Cup, which is an allsports award based on where each program finishes in the league standings. The University’s student-athletes have also seen success in the classroom since his arrival on campus as this past year saw Tech record a 70 percent student athlete graduation success rate, the highest in its history and one of the tops in the nation. Numerous individual success stories have also occurred under his leadership including sprinter Antoinette Cobb earning the 2010 Honda Inspiration Award and catcher Clint Ewing becoming a finalist for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award for their work both on the field of completion and in the classroom. Van De Velde came to Tech with impressive credentials, having served as an administrator in intercollegiate athletics for over 20 years. Van De Velde served as athletics director at Iowa State University and Utah State University and as a senior administrator at the University of Oklahoma, University of Missouri and Kansas State University. Van De Velde’s tenure at Iowa State University included an unprecedented five bowl appearances in six years and the highest national AP football poll ranking (9th) in school history. Iowa State’s 2001 average football attendance of 45,172 reached its highest watermark in 18 years. In 2002 and 2003, total football attendance exceeded 300,000; the most at ISU in two decades. The emergence of the Cyclone football program on a national stage with Van De Velde at the department helm was affirmed in 2002 when Iowa State was chosen to play No. 1 Florida State University in the Eddie

Robinson Classic. During Van De Velde’s tenure at Iowa State, the men’s and women’s basketball teams won Big XII conference championships and participated in the 2001, 2002 and 2005 NCAA basketball tournaments. Van De Velde, with a track record for generating revenue, increased the total annual operating revenues for the Cyclone athletic department from $19.6 million to $30 million dollars over a five year period. Revenue generated from fundraising, ticket sales, marketing and corporate sponsorships, licensing, radio and television reached all-time highs during his tenure. In 2005, total fundraising increased from $4.85 million to $8.6 million and the annual giving achieved the highest membership total in its history with more than 5,500 donors participating and a record $4 million dollars in annual contributions. Under Van De Velde’s leadership, over 2,000 new donors joined the National Cyclone Club. Including capital project gifts, scholarship endowments and annual contributions, over $40 million dollars was raised from 2001 through 2005. Iowa State’s graduation rate of 89 percent for student-athletes who complete their eligibility was second in the Big XII Conference, and graduation rates for minority student-athletes more than tripled during Van De Velde’s tenure. In 2004-05, Iowa State was one of eight universities nationally to have its football team win a bowl game and have its men and women’s basketball teams participate in the NCAA tournament. The Sporting News in 2001 rated Iowa State as the seventh best athletic program among more than 115 NCAA Division I-A programs nationally. The ranking considered competitive success, graduation rates, fan support and NCAA compliance to determine national rank. During his time as athletic director at Utah State University, Van De Velde made his mark by hiring Stew Morrill as the head men’s basketball coach. Morrill has guided Utah State to nine straight postseason tournaments and is the winningest coach in the history of the Utah State program. While serving as the associate athletic director for football operations under head coach Bill Snyder at Kansas State University, Van De Velde was part of the resurrection of Wildcat football in Manhattan as the program became a national power participating in five bowl games. Van De Velde was recipient of the Admiral U.S. Grant Sharp Award at the 1997 Holiday Bowl for his contributions to the Kansas State football team when the nationally ranked Wildcats finished with a 10-2 record. As the senior associate athletic for external affairs at the University of Oklahoma, Van De Velde served as the senior administrative officer for the athletic department and oversaw the areas of fundraising, marketing, corporate sponsorships, ticket sales, media relations and licensing. Van De Velde managed units that generated in excess of $35 million in annual revenues. Van De Velde directed the Campaign for Sooner Sports, a $100 million dollar capital campaign to fund facility improvements and scholarships. As associate athletic director for development at the University of Missouri, Van De Velde planned and initiated a $50 million dollar capital campaign for facility improvements for the Sports Park at MU. Van De Velde received the General Robert Neyland Award from the National Football Foundation in 2005 for his service and contributions as an athletic director. Throughout his career in college athletics, Van De Velde has served on numerous NCAA committees including the Championships and Competition Cabinet, the Football Issues Committee, the Financial Aid Committee and the Peer Review Committee for NCAA certification. He and his wife Debbie, who is a Kansas State alum and who serves as the Development Officer in the LA Tech College of Business, are the proud parents of 11-year-old daughter, Ashley who is entering the fifth grade.

Not only does Hungate serve as the sports administrator for men’s and women’s basketball, women’s soccer, softball, women’s tennis, women’s bowling and women’s volleyball, but she is also in charge of NCAA compliance for all of the university’s 16 NCAA sanctioned programs. As one of the top two ranking administrators in the Tech athletics department, Hungate is part of a senior staff that has been instrumental in garnering a number of national awards, including the 2010 Turnkey PRISM Award - which recognizes colleges for managerial excellence across four areas: marketing/branding; fan development; community relations; and customer/client service. The Tech athletics department has also finished in the Top 10 the past two years in the Excellence in Management Cup, which recognizes the most efficient athletic departments in the nation. Hungate serves a vital role in the hiring of coaches. Hungate proved instrumental in the decision by former Tech Kodak All-American and WNBA All-Star Teresa Weatherspoon - who played for Hungate in the late-80s - to return to Louisiana Tech in June of 2008. Weatherspoon was promoted to head coach in February of 2009 where she led the Lady Techsters to the WAC regular season title and a berth in the WNIT. This past season, she led Tech to the 2010 WAC Tournament title and a return to the NCAA Tournament. She also served as the point person in the hiring process of head women’s soccer coach Kevin Sherry and head women’s volleyball coach Matt Sonnichsen. Sherry led the Lady Techster soccer team to two straight winning seasons the past two years - the first in program history - and the program’s first ever WAC victory. In only his second season at the helm, Sonnichsen, who was a three-time All-American and two-time National Champion during his playing days at UCLA, led the Lady Techsters to 15 wins - the most since 2005 - as well as a program record in WAC victories. Another of Hungate’s responsibilities includes overseeing the academic side of the Tech athletics department, another area which has improved drastically as proven by the fact LA Tech’s graduation rate continues to be one of the highest in the state (Federal Graduation Report), including ranking No. 1 in the state of Louisiana and the Western Athletic Conference in recent years. This past year eight of the 16 NCAA sanctioned programs at LA Tech earn their highest multi-year APR score ever while 94 studentathletes earned Academic all-WAC honors. Hungate also plays an important role in LA Tech’s NCAA Certification process. As a member of the Steering Committee and the liaison between the athletic department and the University’s Self Study Committees, she provides the information needed for the committees to write their reports. In 2006, LA Tech completed its second NCAA Certification cycle and once again was certified without conditions. Hungate joined the Louisiana Tech staff in 1985 as an assistant women’s basketball coach and remained in that role for five years. During that time, the Lady Techsters participated in four Final Fours and won the NCAA National Championship in 1988. In 1990, Hungate made a move out of coaching and became assistant athletics director for academics and compliance as well as senior woman administrator. One of Hungate’s early accomplishments as assistant director of athletics was the creation of the Louisiana Tech Athletic Academic Center program. Hungate has served terms on the NCAA Division I Academics/ Eligibility/Compliance Cabinet, the NCAA Division I Interpretations/Legislative Review Subcommittee, the National Association of Collegiate

Tech student-athletes also recorded their highest Graduation Success Rate(GSR) and highest four-year graduation rate ever this past year as the University ranks No. 1 in the state of Louisiana among Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) public institutions and second among all WAC schools. Tech was one of only two WAC schools and one of only three state schools (LSU,Tulane) that had multiple teams honored.
