Lady Techster Softball Complex

The Lady Techster Softball Complex has been home to Louisiana Tech softball since its completion in 1982 Louisiana Tech has had plenty of success during the 28-year history of playing at the Lady Techster Softball Complex.

Tech has posted an overall mark of 364-174, including 21 winning seasons. During its run to the 2008 NCAA Tournament, LA Tech posted a mark of 16-12 at home including victories over Top 25 Fresno State and SEC foe Ole Miss.The 16 home victories were the most since the 1996 season when that Lady Techster team was a perfect 16-0 at home.

In 2009, LA Tech repeated the feat defeating both Fresno State and Ole Miss at home while also posting victories against Hawaii.

This past season, LA Tech won 13 games at home and posted its highest home winning percentage since 1996.

Built at a cost of $200,000 under the supervision of head coach Bill Galloway and Tech President F. Jay Taylor, the 1,000-seat facility boasts brick-walled dugouts, wooden lockers, lights, batting cage and electronic scoreboard.

The natural grass turf extends 190 feet down the foul lines and 220 feet to straightaway centerfield, reaching the wooden wall running along the outfield.

At the time of its completion in the early ’80s, it was considered one of the finest softball facilities in the country as the nationally-ranked Louisiana Tech squads drew large crowds.

The complex has been home to some of the nation’s top teams and players during its history as it housed three Louisiana Tech College World Series teams and six more NCAA Tournament squads and five All-Americans.

In Galloway’s first season, he led Tech to a record of 52-18 and the first of three trips to the College World Series, and the tradition of winning and dominance throughout the 1980s began.

Louisiana Tech reached the NCAA playoffs the next six seasons, including College World Series appearances in 1985 and 1986.

The Louisiana Tech Lady Techster Softball Complex has seen a number of recent renovations over the past few years.

In 2005, the Lady Techster Softball Complex had a new brick backstop matching the brick dugouts constructed behind home plate adding to the overall look of the stadium. In addition to the backstop, netting replaced the chain link screens behind home plate and down both the first and third base lines.

In 2008, a new $25,000 electronic scoreboard which stands above the centerfield fence was installed. The Fair-Play Model Softball Scoreboard which will be operated by a wireless controller system was purchased from Rainey Electronics, Inc. in Little Rock, Ark. Additional renovations are scheduled in the near future.

College World Series Appearances: 1982, 1985, 1986 NCAA Tournament Appearances: 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1995, 2008

2011 Season Outlook Techster Softball:

Hopes High Despite Key Losses Coming off yet another winning season, the Louisiana Tech Lady Techster softball team will face some challenges heading into 2011 after graduating a ton of experience including three of the top offensive players to ever don the uniform.

However, head coach Sarah Dawson and Co. have built a winning mentality over the past three years as the Lady Techsters will be searching for their fourth straight winning season and another trip to the NCAA Tournament like the one the program took in 2008.

“The 2011 season will be one of new faces,” said Dawson.

“We graduated four girls last year that had started nearly every game in their career and were pillars on our team. I am excited to see what this new generation of players has to offer.

“We have a solid group of sophomores and juniors who are excited and confident that they are ready to take on the larger roles that have been left by graduation. With just three seniors on the squad and a smaller roster, it is even more imperative that everyone pull their weight. The offense has shown it can score runs in bunches, and with a deep pitching staff, I see us ready to take on the challenging schedule we have ahead of us.”

Dawson will also have the luxury of relying on one of the top pitchers in the Western Athletic Conference in senior Meghan Krieg, who earned first team all-league honors last year while setting the program record with 260 strikeouts.

The Lady Techsters schedule is challenging as well, including tournaments at LSU, Texas A&M, Ole Miss and Mississippi State as well as a home doubleheader against Big 12 foe Baylor.

However, despite the challenges that come with personnel losses and a highly-competitive schedule, the LA Tech softball team has its sights set on another winning season.

PITCHERS

Meghan Krieg will serve as the ace of the LA Tech staff but Dawson should have the same type of depth in the circle that the Lady Techsters boasted in 2008 when they won the WAC Tournament title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.

“Meghan returns with the most experience and accolades to her name,” Dawson said. “Meghan really proved she was one of the top pitchers in this conference last season. We will look for her to carry the majority of the pitching responsibilities again this year. It was great to see her look even stronger this fall than where she left off last season.”

Krieg, who was named first team all-Western Athletic Conference as a junior, posted an 18-16 record last year with a 2.24 earned run average. While logging 222.1 innings of work in the circle, Krieg broke a 24-year-old record by registering 260 strikeouts on the year.

The key for Krieg to improve on her numbers from a season ago is to cut down on the free passes as the Sonora, Texas native walked 141 and hit 25 batters.

Behind Krieg in the circle, Dawson can turn to a trio of

28

underclassmen as sophomores Michelle Jones and Janna Frandrup and freshman Erin Kipp look to provide some quality innings.

Jones sported a 5-4 mark with a 4.86 earned run average working 59.0 innings as she made 15 appearances in the circle during her rookie campaign while making 11 starts. The Scurry, Texas native posted complete-game victories over Southeastern Louisiana, Alabama State, Southeast Missouri and Grambling State.

However, she will have to improve on an 0-3 mark in Western Athletic Conference play although she did end the season with a solid six-inning effort in a 4-0 loss at Fresno State.

“Michelle went through some growing pains as a freshman, but she returned this year ready to produce in a number of ways for this squad,” Dawson said. “Over the course of last season I saw great growth in Michelle, and I look forward to seeing her apply some of those lessons she learned.”

Frandrup saw the majority of her innings in a relief role last season as she recorded a 3-1 record with a 4.65 ERA in 37.2 innings. Frandrup saw 10 appearances in the circle while making only three starts.

However, her most impressive performance of the season came in a 3-1 complete-game win over Top 25 Fresno State in the regular season finale.

“Janna has a lot on her plate this year,” Dawson said.

“She is another sophomore who is really looking to make great strides this season. She has proven herself as one of our top offensive performers and will be asked to help in the circle. She also has the flexibility to play a number of infield positions. Janna was a great compliment to our starting pitching, and I look for her to play a similar role again this year.”

Kipp is a true freshman who was very impressive during LA Tech’s fall exhibition season. In four appearances during the fall, Kipp worked 14.0 innings while allowing only six hits and two walks while striking out 15 batters. She didn’t allow a single run during the fall.

“Erin had a strong fall for us,” Dawson said. “She was really consistent from start to start. She continues to show

www.LATechSports.com

improvement on the pitches she came to us with and is working hard at adding others.”

INFIELD

Louisiana Tech will have to replace 60 percent of its starting infield this year with the graduation of shortstop Amberly Waits, first baseman Kylie Bassett and catcher Jessica Kirby who all leave the program ranked in the top four in home runs and numerous other offensive categories.

“We did have a lot of questions heading into the fall as to where people would fall in the infield this year,” Dawson said. “It’s great to have Heather (Doiron) here with her three years of experience to really anchor our infield. Plus Meghan Knowles got a lot of valuable playing time last year, including some key time in the field. She was steady.”

Behind the plate, junior Allie Geisler will join true freshman Tricia Van Winkle to share the catching duties. Geisler, who has seen only very limited playing time her first two years, showed some promise this fall, batting .300 with a team-high three home runs and 10 RBI. “Allie returns as our most experienced catcher,” Dawson said. “She works well with our pitchers and has been a real threat behind the plate throwing out runners. At the plate Allie was a great power hitter for us this fall as she led us in home runs and RBI. We always knew Allie had great power potential, and with a few adjustments she has made, we are starting to see it more consistently.”

Van Winkle is a true freshman out of Coppell High School in Texas where she helped lead the program to three straight district area championships. She was named the District 6-5A Defensive Player of the Year as a freshman and first team alldistrict her final two years. She was named first team all-state as a senior.

“Tricia will help with the catching duties as well as play some third base for us this season,” Dawson said. “I am really excited about Tricia’s future with this program. She loves the game and is a tireless worker.

She is a real competitor and when the game has been on the line, she has been one who has come through.”

Although Bassett is now gone, Knowles saw plenty of action at first base during her inaugural season, making 35 starts on the year. Knowles, who will see the majority of starts at the position this year,

www.LATechSports.com

ended her freshman campaign with a .287 batting average with three home runs and 19 RBI. “Meghan will see the majority of starts at first base,” Dawson said. “She was an everyday starter as our DP last year and as a freshman she was very consistent at the plate.

She will again be in the heart of the order and gives us both a high average and power.”

A duo of Techsters will vie for playing time at second base, including senior veteran Heather Doiron and Frandrup.

Doiron has been a starter at second base for the majority of her career although she missed some significant time due to injury last season, struggling to a .167 batting average during her limited action.

However, the Slidell native showed her potential as a sophomore when she tied the LA Tech program record by belting a home run in four straight games. She has also shown a strong glove as Dawson will rely heavily upon her for veteran leadership in an otherwise young infield.

“Heather was sidelined about half way through the season last year with a back injury,” Dawson said. “She is back to full strength, and we look for her to reclaim her starting spot at second base. Heather provides us with versatility at the plate. She can be a threat with both her speed and her power.

I look for her senior season to be her best.”

Frandrup batted .268 as a freshman and recorded the highest batting average on the team this fall recording nine hits in 19 at bats. The versatile Arizona native could see playing time at all four of the infield positions during the year.

“Janna worked in at second when Heather was down with her injury, and she may still see some time at second this year,” Dawson said.

Shortstop will also be handled primarily by Michelle Jones and freshman Emma Eichmann.

Jones got only one at bat as a true freshman but the Tech coaches feel that she has the opportunity to turn into a solid contributor offensively.

“Michelle is a great all around athlete and although she pitched exclusively for us last year, she was always working at shortstop at practice,” Dawson said. “With the graduation of Amberly Waits, she will be given a chance to show off her skill on defense in addition to her pitching duties.”

Eichmann comes to Tech out of Fossil Ridge High School in Texas where she was named all-district in three different sports as a senior, including first team in softball. Eichmann, who earned a total of 11 all-district awards in softball, volleyball and basketball, should get an opportunity to see plenty of action this season.

“Emma will also vie for starts at shortstop,” Dawson said.

“The one thing that really impressed me about Emma was her consistency during games. We worked hard on improving her fielding mechanics, and with her arm, she will be able to make a number of plays that might surprise you. She has made great strides on offense and is hitting to all fields and her confidence continues to grow.”

Senior Molly Goza should shoulder the workload at the hot corner for the Lady Techsters this year although Frandrup and Van Winkle could also see some playing time.

Goza made 33 starts last year and possesses one of the most powerful swings on the team as she hit three home runs during the year, including two against College World Series opponent Hawaii.

“Molly led our team in starts at this position last year,” Dawson said. “I see her being even more of a leader for our defense this year. As a senior we look for her to be a spark plug for us. At the plate Molly has as much power as anyone on our team. She had a number of clutch hits for us last year, and we will need her to be a consistent performer for us this year.”

OUTFIELD

Louisiana Tech returns only two experienced outfielders this year in juniors Kendra Harmon and Christina Gamboa as the duo will be joined by freshmen Cassie Krieg and Katelynn Hill, junior college transfer Charday Wilson and Geisler.

However, despite the lack of experience, Dawson feels her stable of outfielders possess the talents to give Tech a solid group.

Harmon was Tech’s most consistent outfielder last season as the versatile speedster batted .287 with three home runs and 17 RBI while scoring 27 runs. Harmon made 46 starts on the year and saw time in all three outfield positions while making only two errors during the season.

“Kendra went from pinch runner to leadoff hitter for us last year,” Dawson said. “We will look for her to anchor the top of our lineup again this season. She has really bought into what we teach, and it is great to see her get the results.”

Gamboa struggled a little at the plate batting .162, but showed great range and an impressive glove in the outfield making only one error. Gamboa made 26 starts during the year while seeing significant time in both the leadoff and No. 2 spot in the lineup. She ranked second on the team with five stolen bases.

“Christina really came on strong for us at the end of last year,” said Dawson. “She has impressive speed and covers a lot of ground for us in the outfield. She has worked to be a more consistent performer at the plate. She and Kendra will be a tough combination to defend at the top of the lineup.”

Cassie Krieg, younger sister of Meghan, is a true freshman out of Sonora, Texas who helped Sonora High School to a pair of District 8-2A titles during her career. The three-time first team all-district member was named all-state by the Texas Girls Coaches Association four straight years.

During her career, she batted .510 with 100-plus hits, 23

30

doubles, 13 triples and six home runs while scoring 83 runs and recording 89 RBI. “Cassie shows great promise as an outfielder,” Dawson said. “She has good instincts on defense and great potential at the plate. She is committed to learning and adjusting to what it takes to be successful at this level. She is a fierce competitor who wants nothing more than to win.”

Hill was recruited as a second baseman but has been moved to the outfield due to necessity and the fact she has shown the skill set needed to succeed in that position. Hill lettered at Hebron High School in Texas where she batted .350 as a senior while leading the Hawks to the state semifinals. She was a four-time all-district honoree.

“Katelynn came to us primarily as a second baseman, but with our limited depth in the outfield, we are looking to her to give us more options on defense,” Dawson said. “She has good foot speed and a solid glove. As the fall progressed she began to make adjustments at the plate, and we are seeing her hit to all fields now. For her size she has surprising power.

Katelynn has a lively personality, and I am excited about her future with us.”

Wilson comes to Tech out of Bossier Parish Community College where she stole 17 bases while scoring 23 runs last year. Prior to her time at BPCC, Wilson lettered at Logansport High School in Louisiana where she was named all-district as a junior and senior.

“Charday comes to us as a junior college transfer,” Dawson said. “Her speed is her No. 1 weapon. She put in a lot of work this fall, and she continues to improve in all aspects of her game. At the plate she puts a lot of pressure on defenses with how quickly she can get down the line. I look for her to be a key pinch runner for us as well.”

Geisler, who will see the majority of her playing time at catcher, worked much of last season in the outfield during practice while seeing limited action.

“Allie will also get some starts in the outfield,” Dawson said. “We had her split time in the outfield last year, and she has really come along. She has a great arm and gets a good jump on the ball. It’s quite a change from her duties behind the plate, but this will give us some flexibility when it comes to our lineup.”

Allday is a true freshman out of Atlanta High School in Texas who has made the team as a walk-on after her performance this fall.

“Rachel will add depth to our outfield as well,” Dawson said. “She is a raw athlete who has really responded to the coaching she received this fall. She has good speed and is a heads up base runner. In addition to her outfield duties, Rachel will be a pinch runner off the bench.”

Sarah Dawson Head Coach

As Sarah Dawson enters her ninth season at Louisiana Tech as the head coach of the Lady Techster softball program, she does so having built it into one of the most successful programs in the Western Athletic Conference.

The Lady Techsters have recorded three straight winning seasons and is one of only three programs in the highly-competitive Western Athletic Conference that can make that claim, joining Fresno State and Hawaii.

While shattering numerous team and individual offensive records, Louisiana Tech has recorded three of the best seasons in the last 16 years as Dawson continues to rebuild a program that participated in numerous college world series and NCAA Tournaments during the 1980s and early ‘90s.

Dawson has done it by recruiting her type of players and molding them into winners – both on and off the diamond. The success of the last three years is proof that her philosophy and coaching method is paying off.

During Dawson’s tenure at LA Tech, the Lady Techsters have boasted some impressive results ... on the field, in the classroom and around the community.

On the field, Tech has: • recorded a quartet of top-four finishes in the highly-competitive Western Athletic Conference, including back-to-back-to-back fourth place finishes over the last two seasons.

• captured the 2008 WAC Tournament title, defeating four Top 25 ranked teams in four days (Tech has posted eight wins over Top 25 teams in the last two years).

• earned a berth in the 2008 NCAA Tournament where it defeated SEC foe Auburn twice before eventually falling to national runner-up Texas A&M. It was Tech’s first NCAA Tournament since 1995.

• finished ranked 33rd in the country in the 2008 USA Today/NFCA Division I poll.

• placed 25 players on the All-Western Athletic Conference team, including 16 first teamers.

• placed 29 players on the Louisiana Sports Writers all-state team, including 11 first teamers.

• seen shortstop Amberly Waits become the first LA Tech player to ever win the WAC Player of the Year Award (2009). Waits was also named the LSWA State Hitter of the Year.

• seen Tech record seven of the top eight seasons in home runs, including shattering the program record with 59 home runs in 2009 ( Tech ranked 19th in the country in home runs per game).

Off the field, Tech has: • had 35 student-athletes earn a total of 70 Academic All-WAC awards, including 12 in 2010 • posted its best Academic Progress Rate (APR) ever with a 1000 in 2008-09.

• recorded hundreds of community service hours, including raising more than $8,000 for the local chapter of DART with the charity softball game against Fresno State in April, 2009.

Dawson, now 13 years removed from her playing days where she was an All-American pitcher at Northeast Louisiana (now Louisiana-Monroe), works tirelessly as a head coach to help mold her players into great softball players, top-notch students and first class citizens.

Part of Dawson’s philosophy involves getting her players actively involved in service projects so they learn how to be an integral part of their community. During her time at Tech, Dawson’s players have averaged over 200 hours of community service, ranging from visiting nursing homes, working with area churches and helping with the Louisiana Tech student-athlete Halloween carnival.

In addition to community service projects, Dawson incorporates the NCAA’s CHAMPS/Lifeskills Leadership Program on a regular basis with her team. Throughout the school year, Dawson arranges speakers to talk to her players about such topics as domestic violence, drugs and alcohol, sexual responsibility, interviewing skills, and other areas that will impact their lives.

Dawson and her coaching staff along with the players instituted a recycling program in the Louisiana Tech Athletic Department.

Dawson also emphasizes education, and it has paid off during her tenure at Louisiana Tech. During the previous eight years at Tech, a total of 35 of LA Tech’s student-athletes have earned a total of 70 Academic All-Western Athletic Conference honors, ranking among the most in the league during that time.

The team also recorded its highest single year Academic Progress Rate (APR) score ever with a 1000 for the 2008-09 season.

Dawson, who has compiled a 179-266 record at Tech in her eight years (this does not count the 19 wins Tech had to vacate in 2009), has also had a positive effect on her players on the playing field during her time at Louisiana Tech. Dawson’s competitive spirit rubs off on her players.

She brings that competitiveness and dedication that helped her garner success as a collegiate and professional player to the Louisiana Tech program.

Twenty-five of her players have earned all-Western Athletic Conference honors, including at least one every year and a program-record five in 2009. Former shortstop Amberly Waits became the first LA Tech player to ever earn the WAC Player of the Year award as she was an easy selection in 2009 after winning the WAC Triple Crowe (led league in average, home runs and RBI).

Dawson has also had 29 of her players named to the Louisiana Sports Writers Association all-state team, including Waits who was named the 2009 Hitter of the Year and outfielder Emma Barnes was named the state Freshman of the Year in 2006.

Dawson’s effect on her players can be seen in a number of different ways, including their lives following college. Three of her former players are currently or have coached in the Division ranks including current Tech assistant Amber Miles as well as Marla Pinkston and Eric Chernicky.

Prior to coming to Louisiana Tech in 2003, Dawson served as an assistant coach at UL-Monroe from 2000 through 2002 and at Marshall University in 1999.

During her four years on the mound at UL-Monroe, she produced some incredibly impressive numbers that still rank on the NCAA Division I all-time single season and career records list.

In her career, Dawson amassed a record of 120-56 while registering 151 complete games, 1,242.1 innings pitched, 1,280 strikeouts and 74 career shutouts. Her complete games, innings pitched, strikeouts and career shutouts all ranked in the top 10 in NCAA Division I history while her 120 career wins ranked sixth.

In 1997 during her senior season at UL-Monroe, Dawson earned a spot on the Louisville Slugger NCAA Division I All-American first team. During that year Dawson registered 446 strikeouts in 400.2 innings while recording 50 complete games in only 54 starts and amassing a record of 45-10.

32

She still holds the school record for career victories, lowest earned run average (0.69), inning pitched, strikeouts, shutouts, games pitched, games started and complete games.

She continued to be successful after her collegiate career, joining the Women’s Professional Fast-pitch League in the summer of 1997, where she earned the first year league’s inaugural Most Valuable Player award, ranking No. 1 in wins (30) and saves (4) and second in shutouts, complete games, earned run average and opponents batting average.

Dawson earned her bachelor’s degree in finance from UL-Monroe in 1998.

Brad Kerr Assistant Coach

Brad Kerr returns for his second season as a member of the Louisiana Tech softball coaching staff serving as the Lady Techsters hitting instructor.

Kerr joined head coach Sarah Dawson and assistant coach Amber Miles prior to last season and helped the Lady Techsters record the program’s third straight winning season as LA Tech posted a 26-21 mark, including an 11-10 record in the highly-competitive Western Athletic Conference.

Under Kerr’s direction at the plate, Louisiana Tech recorded the second highest home run total in the program history totaling 43 as departed seniors Amberly Waits and Kylie Bassett both hit 10 each – the third most in the Lady Techster record books.

Waits also recorded one of the most prolific seasons in Lady Techster history, batting .412 with 10 home runs, 31 RBI, 97 total bases and 40 runs scored.

“He is first and foremost a teacher,” Dawson said. “With his education background and coming from a family of coaches, he understands how to communicate with athletes; how to break down skills to get the best results.

“His coaching style fits in well with our philosophy of demanding the best from these girls on and off the softball field. Coach Kerr will be our hitting instructor.”

Kerr joined the Tech family after spending a year as an assistant varsity coach at Henley High School in Klamath, Oregon, where he worked for Dawson’s sister Ruth Strauch. He helped lead the program to the Oregon State Athletic Association Class 4A state championship game appearance.

The 29-year-old was instrumental in developing a team that recorded a .355 batting average while eight players were named to the all-conference team and eight were named to the all-state squad.

Kerr also spent two summers as an assistant coach with the Missoula Mavericks, one of the top American Legion baseball programs in the northwest where he helped lead them to back-to-back Western AA Conference championship titles.

During those two seasons, the program had eight players named to the Western AA All-Conference team and five more named to the all-state team. In all, Kerr has coached seven players that have moved on to play collegiate baseball or softball.

Kerr earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Montana in 2005 where he graduated with honors.

Amber Miles Assistant Coach

Every successful program needs stability on its coaching staff and fourth-year assistant Amber Miles continues to provide that and much more for head coach Sarah Dawson and the Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters.

During her first three years on the staff, it’s no coincidence that the Lady Techsters recorded back-to-back-toback winning seasons (the first in a decade) and the program’s first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 1995.

The former Louisiana Tech record-setting centerfielder returned to her alma mater in July of 2007 after a year away from Ruston. Less than one year later, the Lady Techsters were basking in the glory of the 2008 WAC Tournament title and a trip to the NCAA Tournament thanks in large part to Miles’ enthusiasm, hard work and dedication.

Within two years of her returning to LA Tech, all three of the starting outfielders for the Lady Techsters earned All-WAC honors as Emma Barnes and Krissi Oliver were named to the all-conference team in 2008 and Danielle Sheridan in 2009. Both Barnes and Sheridan ended their Tech careers ranked in numerous offensive categories, including hits, batting average, runs scored and outfield assists.

“Coach Miles continues to grow as a coach as do her responsibilities,” said Dawson. “She will continue to work with the outfield and also with our left-handed slappers.

“Coach Miles’ passion and enthusiasm were a hallmark of her playing days and that has served as one of her greatest strengths as a coach. She is a person our players can identify with as an alumna of this program. She challenges them on a daily basis to be well-rounded individuals that excel in all areas of life.”

In addition to the on-the-field responsibilities, Miles is also in charge of the academic progress of the Tech players off the diamond as well as scheduling community service projects and CHAMPS/Lifeskills Leadership seminars. She also serves as the program’s recruiting coordinator.

Her academic work with the Lady Techster players has paid large dividends as the team recorded its highest single year Academic Progress Rate (APR) score ever with a perfect 1000 for the 2008-09 season. In addition to that impressive fact, the Lady Techsters have placed 29 players on the Academic All-WAC team over the past three years.

Miles played at Louisiana Tech from 2002 through 2005, and ended her collegiate playing days as one of the most decorated outfielders to ever don a Lady Techster uniform. The DeSoto, Texas, native twice earned all-Western Athletic Conference honors and was a four-time Academic all-WAC honoree.

In its nearly 50 years of existence, the Western Athletic Conference continues to evolve and MEDIA feature some of the nation’s best intercollegiate competition. One thing that remains unchanged is the persistent nature of the nine schools in the WAC to advance their programs to contend at the top levels of the NCAA. The WAC provides its student-athletes the chance to travel to scenic destinations and gain exposure in some of the nation’s most diverse markets. In addition, the WAC’s student-athletes work to achieve the highest levels of success with the academic support of their respective institutions.

The WAC has experienced tremendous success. The WAC has sent a total of 31 teams to bowl games since 2001, including more than half of its teams in 2008 with a record-tying five teams. Boise State has won 102 football games since joining the conference, the most in the nation during that time span (2001-09). The conference has sent teams to BCS bowl games in three of the last four seasons as Boise State made a repeat appearance with a victory in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl this past year following Hawai‘i’s 2008 Sugar Bowl and Boise State’s unforgettable victory in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. In men’s basketball, the WAC has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Tournament in 24 of the past 27 seasons.

Every current school in the WAC has competed in the NCAA Tournament since 1990. In baseball, the WAC has boasted two national champions since 2003 including Fresno State’s College World Series victory in 2008. In women’s sports, Fresno State softball has competed in every NCAA Tournament ever held while Louisiana Tech basketball has played in all but three. In 2009, Hawai‘i made its fourth trip to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four since 2000.

Current WAC alums have made their presence felt as well. David Carr (Fresno State) was the first player selected in the 2002 NFL Draft.

Cheryl Ford (Louisiana Tech) was named the WNBA Rookie of the Year and helped the Detroit Shock win the league’s championship in 2003.

In 2004, the United States’ softball team won the Olympic gold medal with former Fresno State players Laura Berg and Lovie Jung. Jeff Weaver (Fresno State) earned the win in the St. Louis Cardinals’ World Series clinching victory in 2006. Quarterback Colt Brennan (Hawai‘i) finished third in the 2007 Heisman Trophy voting, and in 2008, Natasha Kai (Hawai‘i) helped the United States to a gold medal in soccer at the Olympics in Beijing.

In 2001, the WAC partnered with ESPN for coverage of football and basketball giving the conference national exposure from one of the most respected broadcast entities in the country. An extension was signed in 2008 that guarantees over 300 regular season WAC contests and 45 championship events will be aired on the ESPN networks through the spring of 2017. The WAC also officially added WAC.tv in 2006 to give fans streaming internet access to many of its postseason championships

including volleyball, soccer, swimming and diving, basketball, gymnastics, softball and baseball.

The WAC is the sixth oldest among the nation’s 11 Division I-A conferences. Its history traces back to July 27, 1962, when the original six-team league of Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming began competition.

The first championship was held in November 1962, when Arizona won the men’s cross country title and New Mexico followed with the first WAC football title. Arizona finished second in the NCAA College World Series and, less than three years later, Arizona State claimed the league’s first NCAA title when the Sun Devils won the College World Series trophy. Fresno State was the last WAC school to earn an NCAA team title when it won the College World Series in 2008.

Since 1962, several changes have occurred. UTEP and Colorado State became members in September 1967, while Arizona and Arizona State withdrew on June 30, 1978. The WAC then added San Diego State (1978), Hawai‘i (1979) and Air Force (1980). Before 1990, the WAC sponsored championships only in men’s sports. However, a merger with the High Country Athletic Conference formed a single conference under one administrative structure, and the 1990-91 athletic year was the first in which both men and women competed under the WAC name. Fresno State was added in 1992, and then in 1996, the women’s programs from Air Force and Hawai‘i along with six new schools (UNLV, Rice, San Jose State, SMU, TCU and Tulsa) came into the WAC. Air Force, Brigham Young, Colorado State, UNLV, New Mexico, San Diego State, Utah and Wyoming withdrew on June 30, 1999. Nevada (2000), Boise State (2001) and Louisiana Tech (2001) were added while TCU withdrew following the 2000-01 season. The current membership was established on July 1, 2005, when Idaho, New Mexico State and Utah State joined the WAC after Rice, SMU, UTEP and Tulsa withdrew.

The WAC has had just five commissioners in its history. Paul Brechler was named the first leader of the conference and held the position from 1962-1968. He was followed by Wiles Hallock (1968-71), Stan Bates (1971-80), Dr. Joe Kearney (1980-94) and Karl Benson (1994-present).

Presently, the WAC crowns team and individual champions in 19 sports – eight men’s and 11 women’s. For the men, there are championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field. Championships for women are held in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and fieldand volleyball.

The WAC office has been located in the Denver area since the conference’s inception with the exception of a two-year stay in Phoenix from 1964-66.

Karl Benson WAC Commissioner When Karl Benson was named the fifth commissioner in the history of the Western Athletic Conference on April 20, 1994, he brought with him a wealth of experience and a personal history of success to the position.

Since that time, Benson not only has laid a strong foundation for the WAC’s future, he also steered the conference through unsettled times during the late 1990s and again a few years later when the defection of member institutions threatened the WAC. Through his leadership and vision, it didn’t take long for the WAC to regain its place among the nation’s top Division I conferences. Benson has spearheaded conference expansion with the additions of Nevada, Boise State and Louisiana Tech earlier this decade and an additional round of expansion with the invitations of New Mexico State, Utah State and Idaho a few years ago.

Nationally, Benson has earned the respect of his peers after serving on the NCAA Management Council from 1999-2002, and a five-year term on the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee from 2002-06.

Benson hit the ground running when he was hired in 1994 and initiated several programs that improved the conference’s national position in virtually ever category. He was instrumental in developing multi-year agreements with the Holiday Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Copper Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Silicon Valley Football Classic, GMAC Bowl and currently, the Humanitarian Bowl, Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl, New Mexico Bowl, Poinsettia Bowl and Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.

In the summer of 2005, he implemented “Play Up” a new marketing campaign to improve the public and private perceptions of the WAC and its members through national, local and regional touch points. The conference officially added WAC.tv prior to the 2006-07 season, giving fans streaming video access to many of the postseason championships of the sports offered by the WAC. In 1995-96, the WAC signed an exclusive multi-year agreement with ESPN for the unprecedented live telecast of its basketball and football. Included in that deal was a women’s basketball contract, the first in conference history. In 2008, Benson negotiated an extension with ESPN that gives the WAC over 300 regular season contests and 45 championship events that will be aired through the 2016-17 season.

Benson came to the WAC after four successful years as the commissioner of the Mid-American

www.LATechSports.com

Conference. There, he implemented several innovative projects and was instrumental in the formation of the Las Vegas Bowl.

Prior to taking the reins of the MAC, Benson served on the NCAA staff for more than four years where he was the director of NCAA championships when selected as MAC commissioner.

Benson joined the NCAA staff in January, 1986, as a compliance representative and was appointed assistant director of championships in June, 1987. He was promoted to director of championships in 1988.

In that position, Benson actively supervised eight assistant directors in their administration of 68 NCAA championships.

A native of the state of Washington, Benson graduated from high school in Pullman in 1970, attended Spokane Falls Community College and then received a bachelor of science degree in physical education from Boise State University in 1975. He has also completed course work toward his master’s degree in athletics administration at the University of Utah.

Benson played baseball at both Spokane Falls Community College and Boise State University before serving as the baseball coach at Fort Steilacoom Community College in Tacoma, Wash., for eight years and as the director of athletics at Fort Steilacoom from 1979-84. From 1984-86, he was an assistant baseball coach and an administrative assistant in the athletics department at Utah.

He received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Boise State in April of 2006.

Benson was born on December 1, 1951 and has one daughter, Jessie, 18.

DR. DAN

RENEAU

University President There’s a lot to look forward to at Louisiana Tech, as university President Dan Reneau knows well. The university is growing with the increased enrollment of students and the construction of new facilities.

Under Reneau’s leadership, the university is on track in its long-term Tech 2020 goal, a strategy to ensure the university stays in tune with academic, economic, and research trends in the state, region, and nation.

“The transformation of higher education in Louisiana is taking place before our eyes,” Reneau said. “The faculty and staff of Louisiana Tech have chosen to use this transformation as an opportunity to strengthen their institution through a collective and progressive recruitment and retention effort.”

The university has continually thrived with Reneau at the helm in a variety of areas, including: * New construction and renovation of buildings. Currently, the first buildings of Tech’s Enterprise Campus are being constructed, and renovations include the expansion of the Maxie Lambright Intramural Center, the Technology Transfer Center and the Visual Arts Center.

The $20 million Quest for Excellence initiative was also announced in Summer 2010, and plans are in the works for the construction of a 90,000-plus square-foot multipurpose facility in the south end zone of Joe Aillet Stadium. The new facility will benefit all student athletes and will include a state-of-the-art sports medicine facility, a new strength and conditioning complex and a new academic center. * All-time high average ACT score of entering freshmen. The average ACT score of beginning freshmen increased from 22.5 in the fall of 2004 to 23.5 in the fall of 2009. * Received national accolades. The university was ranked among the nation’s best colleges and universities and moved up to a Tier 3 ranking by U.S. News and World Report’s 2010 Best Colleges publication. In addition, Louisiana Tech achieved the state’s highest ranking among public colleges and universities, according to Washington Monthly’s 2009 College Rankings. * Performance-based Funding. Tech fared better than all Louisiana public universities for performance-based funding. * National bookstore chain comes to campus. Barnes & Noble bought out the bookstore and will offer more book selections with plans to expand in three to five years. * Increased enrollment recognized. In Fall 2009, Louisiana Tech’s total enrollment stood at 11,289 students, which represents an addition of 339 students, an increase of 3.1 percent.

Reneau is leaving a lasting legacy with Louisiana Tech, especially with the engineering program. Reneau graduated with his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Tech in 1963 and received his master’s in the same subject in 1964. He received his Ph.D. in 1966 from Clemson University.

Reneau became a faculty member at Tech in 1967 as an assistant professor of chemical engineering and made his way up the ladder to associate professor in 1969 and a full professor in 1973.

Reneau’s professional experience includes serving as a research engineer for both Esso and Humble oil companies and as a consultant for five other corporations and universities.

Reneau also has studied abroad at Johannes Gutenburg University in Mainz, West Germany, as an Alexander-von-Humbolt Stiftung visiting professor and also to England at Cambridge and Bristol universities as a visiting professor.

At Tech, Reneau established the biomedical engineering department and was named its head in 1972. The department became the fifth accredited department for its undergraduate curriculum in the United States, and the doctoral program was awarded a commendation of excellence by the Board of Regents.

In 1980, Reneau was promoted to vice president for academic affairs, serving as the chief academic officer to some 400 faculty in six colleges and three professional schools with more than 160 different degree programs. During his tenure as vice president, every major program became accredited, and he was also instrumental in

68

establishing the Center for Biomedical Engineering and Rehabilitation Science.

Reneau was selected as the university’s 13th president Feb. 20, 1987, and the public endorsed their new president before the decision was even made. The university paper, The Tech Talk, issued a rare endorsement for the Tech alumnus; the Student Government Association supported his selection through a resolution sent to Baton Rouge; many faculty members circulated a petition for his appointment; and even the Faculty Senate gave Reneau a stamp of approval.

When hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Louisiana coast in 2005, under Reneau’s leadership, Tech welcomed hundreds of evacuees and offered them shelter in Caruthers Residence Hall.

Tech also opened its doors to students from various universities in New Orleans as well as the Tulane University football team.

Tech continues to flourish under Reneau’s leadership. In 2007, the university and its president received a glowing review from a team led by national educational consultant James Fisher.

Tech’s graduate programs continue to prosper, as well. A total of ten doctoral degrees are now available at Tech, including a new doctoral program in industrial and organizational psychology that began in 2009. In 2007, Tech produced the first graduate in the world who holds a bachelor’s degree in nanosystems engineering. Last year, Tech reported a record graduate student enrollment with graduate enrollment totaling 2,530, an increase of 9.3 percent.

As Tech holds strong to its 2020 goal, progress is echoed by research, such as a study conducted by the Applied Research Technology Corporation of Baton Rouge. The study shows that Louisiana Tech students have an annual statewide spending impact of $145 million and contribute over 56 hours of volunteerism per student, per year.

Over the past 10 years, 65 percent of Tech’s graduates have stayed in Louisiana with total earnings of nearly $1 billion.

“One of Louisiana Tech’s greatest strengths has always been the quality of its students,” Reneau said. “Their success, both during and after college, will impact not only the future of our university, but also the future of our region and our state. As a campus community, we have a responsibility to do everything we can to continue recruiting, educating and graduating the next generation of Louisiana’s leaders.”

Reneau, a native of Woodville, Miss., was born June 11, 1940.

He started as a student at Tech in 1959 and met his wife, the former Linda Digby, of Bernice, while a student at Tech. Reneau and his wife have two children, John and Dana, who are both Tech alumni as well.

John lives in Las Vegas, and Dana lives in Baton Rouge with her husband, Jim Bernhard, and their two sons, Michael and Ben.

BRUCE

VAN DE VELDE

Athletics Director Bruce Van De Velde was named Louisiana Tech’s athletics director in February of 2010 by Louisiana Tech President Dr. Dan Reneau.

“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, who joined the University in June of 2008 as deputy athletics director and chief operating officer, 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.

“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, negotiated and implemented $6.75 million multi-media and marketing rights agreement with Learfield Communications. Contract more than doubled revenue derived from corporate sponsorships and created state-wide radio network for Louisiana Tech athletics. Negotiated purchase of $1.6 million Daktronics large screen high-definition video board for Joe Aillet Stadium.

• Upgraded ticket operations by negotiating new contract with Ticketmaster. Improved customer service, marketing and communication efforts. Developed e-commerce capabilities by implementing on-line ticketing. Established new record for football season ticket sales. Sold allotment of 12,000 Independence Bowl tickets.

• 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. Implemented new giving plan for 1,150 new chair-back seats for football.

• Led a national search in January of 2010 to hire head football coach Sonny Dykes from the University of Arizona. Was instrumental in hiring head women’s basketball coach in Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame member Teresa Weatherspoon.

• In 2010, the Louisiana Tech athletic department earned the PRISM Award for excellence in athletics management under Van De Velde’s leadership.

• Organized a $20 million fund raising campaign for Louisiana Tech athletics “Quest for Excellence.” Oversaw the development of the design of a new $20 million athletic sports complex.

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 regular season Western Athletic Conference title and the 2010 WAC Tournament title,

www.LATechSports.com

and the women’s indoor and outdoor track and field teams won both the 2009 and 2010 league titles.

The University’s student-athletes have also seen success in the classroom since his arrival on campus as this past year saw eight of the 16 program’s record their highest multi-year APR ever and seven record their highest single-year APR ever. During the 2009-10 season, Tech saw 94 student-athletes earn Academic all-WAC honors for their work in the classrooms while senior sprinter Antoinette Cobb earned the Honda Inspiration Award for her work both on the track and in the classroom while overcoming a battle with cancer.

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,

69

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 Neiland 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 works in the LA Tech College of Business, are the proud parents of 10-year-old daughter, Ashley who is entering the fourth grade.

MARY KAY

HUNGATE

Deputy Athletics Director/ Senior Woman Administrator Deputy Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator Mary Kay Hungate returns for her 26th year as a member of the Louisiana Tech athletics department and has proven to be an integral part in the recent emergence of the Tech teams on the playing fields and in the classroom.

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.

70

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 Women Athletics Administrators Wade Trophy Selection Committee and as an NCAA Peer Reviewer. She has also served on the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Issues Committee since 2004.

Buskirk is a member of the NACMA Board of Directors, and is also an adjunct professor in the College of Business for an advanced level sports management course.

Under Buskirk’s direction, Louisiana Tech’s external affairs have seen a wave of new developments, and national recognition for its accomplishments.

Buskirk’s external team was named the winner of the 2010 PRISM Awards for department excellence, and has been selected as the NCAA Pack the House Challenge winner three years in a row.

The revenue generating advancements have been supported by the addition of multiple strategic business processes being installed.

The advancements include the creation of LTAC, Team Tech 100 and the LA Tech Kids Club in the fundraising area. Ticketmaster was contracted to implement the full Archtics ticketing package, and a newly formed call center was established to support the tickets sales efforts.

Under Buskirk’s first two years leading the external affairs department, corporate sponsorships tripled with a restructured sponsorship sales approach, and advancements will continue as Learfield Sports was contracted to officially operate LA Tech Sports Properties, officially beginning operations for the 2009 season. Additional upgrades include contracting Rickabaugh Graphics as a part of the rebranding of new logos, and the partnership with CBS sports as the official website provider for LA Tech athletics.

The external affairs advancements have also made way for a new Daktronics state-of-the-art high definition video display scoreboard for the 2009 season. The HD-16 mm video display board will be the largest in the Western Athletic Conference.

Buskirk came to Louisiana Tech after working at UTSA as the assistant athletic director for external affairs. Buskirk oversaw the external affairs areas of fundraising, marketing, corporate sponsorships, ticket sales, merchandising, trademark licensing, branding, website revenue generation, courtesy car program, promotions and spirit squad, along with being the assistant tournament manager for NCAA Championships including the NCAA Final Four.

During his time at UTSA, Buskirk was recognized as one of the “Top 40 under 40” Rising Stars by the San Antonio Business Journal.

Under his direction, UTSA athletics experienced a dramatic increase in its external components, including more than doubling corporate sponsorship revenue in Buskirk’s first 12 months directing the department. Buskirk was instrumental in negotiating with XOS Technologies to be the official website provider of UTSA athletics while also instituting the UTSA athletics re-branding campaign.

Buskirk was heavily involved in the direction of the NCAA Championships that the City of San Antonio hosts. He was the assistant tournament manager and directed marketing efforts for the 2006 NCAA Volleyball Championship, 2006 NCAA Women’s Basketball San Antonio Regional, and the 2007 NCAA Men’s Basketball South Re-

Other additions to the UTSA external department included partnerships with local media giants Clear Channel, FOX TV, and Time Warner Cable. Buskirk also instituted new creative ticket sales strategies including a telemarketing call center that dramatically increased ticket sale efforts.

Prior to his time at UTSA, Buskirk served as the athletics marketing director at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida, where he also served as an adjunct professor in the College of Business and Management. The Columbus, Ohio, native served as a market research analyst for the NBA’s Miami Heat before joining the Lynn staff. Buskirk earned his bachelor’s degree in sports management from Ohio State and an MBA in sport management from Florida Atlantic University.

During his time at Ohio State, he also worked as a coach for men’s and women’s tennis at Columbus West High School and as assistant men’s basketball coach at St. Charles Prep in Columbus.

A native of Columbus, Ohio, Buskirk lettered in football, basketball, tennis and golf at West High School, where he was a teammate of Michael Redd, who starred at Ohio State and now plays for the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks.

Away from the office, Buskirk is an avid golfer who is always working to lower his handicap, and enjoys reading books on leadership and motivation. Buskirk’s wife Audrey is the coordinator of marketing and healthy woman advisor for the Northern Louisiana Medical Center.
