LONE STAR CONFERENCE

ong known as a leader in intercollegiate athletics, the Lone Star Conference (LSC) is an innovative athletics conference which aims to provide a superior competitive experience for member institutions and to allow for comprehensive development of student-athletes through academic services and life skills programming. The LSC continues to build upon its proud history while intending to be recognized as the premier NCAA Division II conference in the nation. The league’s mission is to foster student participation and success among member institutions in Division II intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of each institution’s total educational program. The LSC strives for academic excellence, stresses involvement within the community, and prides itself in upholding traditions while continually seeking new opportunities to provide student-athletes with a unique and superior experience. The LSC - founded on April 25, 1931 - has developed from a five-team conference of Texasbased schools to an 11-member league that spans three states (Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico). The conference membership recently changed with the departure of five Oklahoma schools following the 2010-11 academic year. The league continues to assist its member institutions in the maintenance of intercollegiate athletic programs that are compatible with the highest standards of education and competitive sports. Throughout the league’s 80-year history, various institutions have competed under the LSC ban-

ner. Today, only Texas A&M University-Commerce (then East Texas State) remains from the original group that was formed in 1931 when North Texas State, Southwest Texas State, Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Austin withdrew from the old Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The membership alignment has changed over the years, with current members having been added in each of the past six decades. Texas A&M-Kingsville (formerly Texas A&I) joined in 1954, followed by Angelo State in 1968 and Abilene Christian in 1973. Conference membership remained within the Texas borders until 1984 when Eastern New Mexico was admitted. Since then, the LSC has grown to include members from Arkansas and Oklahoma. Cameron (1988, 1996) was added near the outset of an expansion phase, while Texas Woman’s (1989) and previous members West Texas A&M (1986, 1993) and Tarleton State (1968, 1994) joined the league soon after. Midwestern State was admitted early in 1995 and Harding and McMurry have been compeiting as provisional members for track and field since 2012. Past members of the LSC include Trinity, Houston, Lamar, Howard Payne, Sul Ross State, McMurry, Harding, Ouachita Baptist, Central Oklahoma, East Central (Okla.), Northeastern State (Okla.), Southeastern Oklahoma, Southwestern Oklahoma, Abilene Christian (Texas) and University of Incarnate Word (Texas) .

While the LSC has maintained a long-standing tradition of competitive athletic programs for its members, many teams and individuals have gone on to distinguish themselves on the national stage. Entering 2011-12, LSC member institutions have collected 74 NCAA national championships since the league joined the Division II membership in 1982. Abilene Christian supplied the most recent additions to that total, capturing both the men’s indoor and outdoor track and field championships this past year. The LSC conducts conference championships in 14 sports (six men and eight women). Men’s championships include football, soccer, cross country, basketball, baseball, track and field and golf. Women’s titles are determined in volleyball, soccer, cross country, basketball, softball, track and field, tennis and golf. The conference office is located in Richardson, Texas, a northern suburb of Dallas. Stan Wagnon serves as Commissioner, with assistance from Jay Poerner (Compliance), Melanie Robotham (Media Relations) and Tommy Wright (Corporate Sales and Marketing).

facility MEMORIAL STADIUM Commerce, Texas Memorial Stadium began as a project of the Ex-Students Association in the fall of 1945. The ESA and friends of the University raised a portion of the funds before East Texas State Teachers College received a state appropriation for the rest of the $300,000 to build the facility. Construction on the facility was started in the fall of 1949 and work continued fast and furious to have the stadium ready for the start of the 1950 season. The seating has been altered only slightly over the last five decades. In 1973, alumninum seating, the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Box under the Press Box and the T-Lounge at the south end of the stadium were added. A rubberized all-weather track replaced the cinders in 1980. In 1987, a ticket booth was constructed in the main entry and new light fixtures were installed in 1999. Prior to the 2006 season, the stadium went through its most extensive renovations since being built in 1949. A new scoreboard and playing surface, as well as a new track was installed at the conclusion of the football season.In 2009, a new building housing a football locker room and training room was constructed at the north end of the stadium to replace the T-Lounge. Before the 2013 football season new turf, along with a 50 yard long midfield Lion logo was installed. The renovation of Memorial Stadium also included a resurfacing of the track in time for this season.
