Dr. Brennan O’Donnell is the 19th president of Manhattan College, having assumed the responsibilities of the position July 1, 2009. Dr. O’Donnell comes to Manhattan from Fordham College at Rose Hill, Fordham University’s oldest and largest school. As dean of Fordham College, he was the chief academic officer of a College of Arts and Sciences enrolling about 3,200 students under a faculty of more than 200. Before coming to New York, Dr. O’Donnell spent 17 years at Loyola College in Maryland (now Loyola University Maryland), where he served as a professor of English and, from 1999-2004, as director of the university-wide Honors Program. An active scholar, his teaching and research interests focus mainly upon poetry, especially of the British Romantic period, and on religion and literature, particularly contemporary American Catholic writers. He has authored two books on the poetry of William Wordsworth and co-edited The Work of Andre Dubus, a collection of essays published as a double issue of Religion and the Arts. In addition, Dr. O’Donnell has published articles, essays and reviews in some of the leading journals in his field. At Manhattan, he will continue to hold a faculty appointment, as he had at Fordham and Loyola, as professor of English. As the first president of the College not to be a member of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, Dr. O’Donnell is treading new ground at Manhattan College. He has experience in such transitions, however, as he was also the first layperson to serve as dean of Fordham College at Rose Hill.

M a n h a t t a n

C o l l e g e

His publications and lectures demonstrate a keen engagement in issues of faith and education, specifically Catholic higher education. From 1994–2000, he served as editor of the national magazine Conversations on Jesuit Higher Education, and he was a member of the National Seminar on Jesuit Higher Education from 1993–2000. In addition, he has served as a board member for the Lilly Fellows Program and for Collegium, a consortium of Catholic universities that strives to strengthen faculty understanding of and participation in the mission of Catholic higher education. A native of Pennsylvania’s Wyoming Valley, Dr. O’Donnell earned his B.A. with highest distinction and Honors in English at The Pennsylvania State University in 1981, where he was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. He earned an M.A. and a Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in English and American Literature and Language. He is the recipient of numerous fellowships, grants, awards and honors. Dr. O’Donnell is married to Angela O’Donnell (formerly Alaimo), a poet and writer who teaches at Fordham, where she serves as associate director of the Francis and Ann Curran Center for American Catholic Studies. The couple has three sons: Charles (a graduate of Saint John’s University, Minnesota, and a teacher in the St. Paul, Minnesota, public schools), Patrick (a 2009 graduate of Columbia University, currently pursuing graduate studies in philosophy in Leuven, Belgium), and Will (a senior English major at Fordham).

end. He spent one season as an assistant coach and helped guide Manhattan to a 6-2 overall record in 1969. Upon graduation, Byrnes began a teaching and coaching career at Queen of Peace High School in North Arlington, New Jersey. He also served as the school’s director of athletics from 1970-73. Under his leadership, Queen of Peace registered state tournament appearances in baseball and basketball, while also capturing the Parochial “B” State Championship in football (1972).

He also served on the NCAA Championship Committee in 1999-2000. He is currently the chair of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Men’s Basketball Committee and the Committee on Athletic Administration, as well as a member of the ECAC Officials Negotiating Committee.

metro atlantic athletic conference With 10 institutions strongly bound by the sound principles of quality and integrity in academics and excellence in athletics, the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference is in its 31st year of competition during the 2011-2012 academic year. The MAAC was founded in 1980 by six charter members: the U.S. Military Academy, Fairfield University, Fordham University, Iona College, Manhattan College and Saint Peter’s College. Competition followed one year later in the fall of 1981 with members competing in the sports of men’s cross country and men’s soccer. On January 2, 1982, Army traveled to Iona for the first MAAC men’s basketball game and the MAAC story had begun. Today, Conference members include: Canisius College, Fairfield University, Iona College, Loyola University Maryland, Manhattan College, Marist College, Niagara University, Rider University, Saint Peter’s College, and Siena College. In addition, associate members include the University of Detroit Mercy, Jacksonville University and Virginia Military Institute in men’s lacrosse. St. Francis (N.Y.) College, Villanova University, VMI and Wagner College are all associate members of the MAAC Women’s Water Polo League. Drake University, Robert Morris University and Sacred Heart University compete in women’s rowing, while the University at Albany, Boston University and the University of Hartford began competition in women’s golf in the spring of 2010. The MAAC will support 24 sports and championships during the 2011-2012 academic year. The MAAC Basketball Championships move to Springfield’s MassMutual Center to host the 2012-2014 championships. By having an excellent working relationship with various facilities, the MAAC has been able to attract a number of NCAA Championship events. Most recently, the MAAC and Rider co-hosted the 2011 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The MAAC, Canisius College and Niagara University successfully hosted the 2010 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship First and Second Rounds at the HSBC Arena in Buffalo, New York. All three parties hosted the event in 2004 and 2007. The MAAC and Rider University co-hosted the 2009 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship Regional at the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, N.J., after recording the third highest attendance figure for the women’s championship with the First and Second Rounds in 2006. The MAAC and Rider will work together to co-host the 2012 NCAA Rowing Championships at Mercer Lake in West Windsor, New Jersey.

The MAAC prides itself on the accomplishments of its studentathletes in the classroom, as well as on the field. Mary Beth Riley, a 1991 graduate of Canisius, was the first recipient of the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. In the fall of 1998, Erin Whalen, a member of the Iona women’s rowing team, was awarded one of the nation’s 32 Rhodes Scholarships for academic achievement and civic leadership. Jose Vargas, a Loyola student, was also awarded a Rhodes Scholarship in 1999. First-class facilities are the rule with MAAC schools, as teams regularly play in top-notch arenas, such as Madison Square Garden, the IZOD Center, HSBC Arena, Times Union Center, the Arena at Harbor Yard and the Sun National Bank Center. The other MAAC championships boast their share of outstanding locales as well, such as the Reverend Harold Ridley, S.J., Athletic Complex at Loyola, where the women’s soccer championship will be contested in the fall of 2011, and Joe Bruno Stadium in Troy, New York, home of the 2012 MAAC Baseball Championship. This year, the MAAC will take its men’s championship to Orlando, Florida, where it will conduct its post-season event at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The MAAC Men’s and Women’s Golf Championships will be held at Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course. In the past several years, a number of the MAAC schools have also enjoyed success in NCAA Championships. MAAC schools have made a total of 77 NIT appearances and 47 NCAA appearances. In addition, Iona and Rider participated in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, with the Gaels advancing to the championship game. The Manhattan women participated in the Women’s Basketball Invitational, reaching the semifinal round of the tournament. The MAAC currently possesses 13 automatic bids to NCAA Championships in men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball, men’s golf, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s lacrosse, and women’s water polo. In 2007, the Marist women’s basketball team advanced to the Sweet 16 before falling to the eventual National Champion, the University of Tennessee. In the fall of 2009, the No. 11 Iona men’s cross country team finished tied for eighth place at the NCAA Championship race, extended the Gaels’ streak to eight straight Top 10 national finishes. Iona softball, Manhattan track, Manhattan baseball and Loyola lacrosse have also flourished on the national stage. The MAAC has also been a leader in the forefront of technology, expanding the notoriety of the league into cyberspace. In 2007, the league reached an agreement with JumpTV, Inc., now NeuLion, Inc., to design the MAAC web page. MAACSports.com has been a great success, providing fans with up-todate contest results, live and on-demand video and an online merchandise store. The MAAC, in conjunction with NeuLion, launched an iPhone app in February 2011. The league is looking to expand its offerings with Android and iPod apps, scheduled for release during the 2011-12 academic year. The MAAC President for the 2011-2012 academic year is Rev. Jeffrey von Arx, S.J., the President of Fairfield University. The Vice-President is Dr. Eugene J. Cornacchia, Ph.D., the President of Saint Peter’s College. Jim Paquette, Director of Athletics at Loyola University Maryland, will chair the Committee on Athletic Administration, and Theresa Berg, Associate Athletic Director/ Senior Woman Administrator at Niagara University will serve as Vice Chair.

MAAC Associate Sports In June of 1995, the MAAC continued to develop opportunities for studentathletes as the conference announced the formation of the MAAC Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse Leagues. The men’s league began competition in the spring of 1996, while the women’s league commenced in the spring of 1997. The men’s league consists of four MAAC schools -- Canisius, Manhattan, Marist, and Siena – and three associate members – Detroit, Jacksonville and Virginia Military Institute. The women’s league consists of MAAC institutions Canisius, Fairfield, Iona, Manhattan, Marist, Niagara and Siena. In 2002, the MAAC added the MAAC Women’s Water Polo League. The league is currently made up of three MAAC schools – Iona, Marist and Siena – as well as four associate members, St. Francis (N.Y.), Villanova, VMI and Wagner. Sacred Heart started participating in MAAC Women’s Rowing in the spring of 2008. Drake University joined the league for the 2010 MAAC Championship, while Robert Morris began competition in the spring of 2011. In the summer of 2009, the MAAC added three associate members – Albany, Boston University and Hartford – to women’s golf, with the programs starting competition against MAAC members Fairfield, Niagara and Siena in 2009-2010.

Now in his 19th season as head coach of the cross country and track & field programs (and 25th season overall) at Manhattan College, Dan Mecca is the longest tenured head coach at Manhattan and only the fifth head coach in the track & field program’s 80-year history. Before succeeding head coach Fred Dwyer, Mecca spent seven years as the field events coach for the men’s team. He has been the only head coach since the men’s and women’s programs were combined prior to the 199394 season. Before then, the men’s and women’s teams had separate coaching staffs. Since taking over both programs, Mecca has maintained one of the richest track & field traditions in the East. Entering the fall of 2011, the Manhattan track & field/cross country teams have won 56 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Championships, 37 Metropolitan Championships, 23 IC4A Championships and one NCAA Championship. Mecca was named the MAAC Men’s Coach of the Year for the 2011 indoor season, marking the 28th time he’s been selected for that honor (men’s and women’s, indoor and outdoor) over the past 10 years. He has coached several athletes to the NCAA Championships, including four NCAA National Champions: Jake Freeman (2003, indoor weight throw), Aliann Pompey (2000, 400 meters, Manhattan’s first female NCAA Champion), Michael Williams (1995, indoor 800 meters), and Gary Halpin (1988, indoor weight throw). Mecca has coached a total of 27 NCAA All-Americans in his 24 years at Manhattan. Other Manhattan athletes to earn All-America honors under Mecca include shot putter Milan Jotanovic, weight throwers Patrick Martin and Gerry Ryan, triple jumper David Frazier, and three-time All-American Pat McGrath (twice in the hammer throw, once in the weight throw).

M a n h a t t a n

Mecca has continued to coach eight-time All-American Jake Freeman in the weight and hammer throws since his graduation from Manhattan in 2003. Freeman qualified for the 2009 World Championships after a second place finish in the hammer throw at the U.S. National Championships. Freeman also competed in the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Trials, finishing third in 2008. He captured his first national championship in the hammer throw in 2010. In addition, the athletes Mecca has trained have participated on national teams representing the United States, Ireland, Sweden, Jamaica, Serbia and the Dominican Republic, competing in the Olympics, World Championships, Junior World Championships, World University Games, Pan American Championships and Caribbean Championships. Throughout his career, Mecca has served in various capacities for a host of national and regional track & field committees. For the NCAA, Mecca has served as a member of the Regional Cross Country Championships Games Committee and on the Indoor & Outdoor National Championships Throws Jury. For the IC4A, he has served on the Site Selection Committee, as a seeding advisor, and on the Cross Country Games Committee. And for the MAAC, he has served as the meet director for the Cross Country and Indoor Track Championships and as a member of the Outdoor Track Games Committee. He was also an integral member of the planning committee for the renovations to the indoor track in Draddy Gymnasium during the summer of 2011. The new 200-meter oval is one of the finest in the Northeast, and it was constructed with the same Mondo surface used at the Olympics and World Championships.

A 1976 graduate of Montclair State with degrees in history and physical education, Mecca began his coaching career in 1974 at St. Mary’s High School in Rutherford, N.J. He began as a throwing coach, but eventually took over as the head coach in both cross country and track & field in 1977. Several of his athletes became state champions and established school records under his guidance. In 1984, Mecca was named head coach at William Paterson College in Wayne, N.J. While there, Mecca produced six All-Americans (three in the javelin, and one each in the shot put, discus and triple jump). Since arriving at Manhattan in 1986, Mecca has had at least one athlete qualify for the NCAA Championships every year. Mecca coached the United States squad that competed at the 1990 World Junior Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, and the Irish National Team at the 1993 World University Games. He currently serves as a member of many national track & field committees. A native of Passaic, N.J., Mecca currently resides in Florida, N.Y., with his wife, Kathleen. He has three children--Christopher, who lives in New Jersey with his wife, Jamie; Patrick, who graduated Summa Cum Laude from Manhattan and is now teaching in New York City; and Caelyn, a senior Dean’s List student at Manhattan.

2011-12 men’s season preview

Kevin D’Emic After recording its 15th consecutive Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) indoor title, the Manhattan College men’s track & field team saw its 13-year winning streak at the MAAC Outdoor Championships come to an end in 2011. That defeat, the first in program history, is the Jaspers’ driving force headed into the 2011-12 season. Head Coach Dan Mecca’s squad is eager to regain that MAAC outdoor crown, and Mecca has bolstered the roster with that goal in mind. With a number of talented newcomers joining a motivated group of returning athletes out to prove that last year was an anomaly, the Jaspers appear poised to reclaim their status as the top team in the conference.

Cross Country/Distance Leading the way for the Manhattan distance corps are senior Kevin D’Emic and sophomore Mikael Rojeras. D’Emic was plagued by injury for much of the 201011 season, but he returned for the MAAC Outdoor Championships, placing fourth in the 800 meters to go along with a pair of bronze medals in the 4x400 and 4x800 M a n h a t t a n

meter relays. Rojeras made an immediate impact during his first year in Riverdale. He reached the final of the 1000 meters at the 2011 IC4A Indoor Championships. Sophomores Nick Italiano and Salim Corbin are both coming off impressive freshman campaigns. Italiano placed eighth in the 800 meters at the MAAC Outdoor Championships, while Corbin was a solid contributor over a number of distances across all three seasons. Among the six freshmen in the distance corps, Greg Perrier and Anthony Colasurdo should provide an immediate impact. Perrier earned all-state recognition and was the Suffolk County champion in both the 800 meters and mile as a senior at Half Hollow Hills High School East on Long Island. Colasurdo qualified for the New Jersey Meet of Champions in the mile and won the outdoor county championship in the 800 last year at Lacey High School. Other newcomers include Jacob Adams, Stephen Chantry, Kevin O’Brien and Antonio Rosa. With the graduation of Manhattan’s top two cross country runners, junior Billy Wilkens and sophomore Tom Voorheis will be expected to step up and lead the squad during the fall. Both runners posted their best time of the season at the 2010 MAAC Cross Country Championships. On the track, Voorheis is one of the Jaspers’ best long distance options. Completing their eligibility during the cross country season are seniors Tom Daly and Zack Price. Daly, the cross country team captain, has consistently ranked among the Jaspers’ top five throughout his Manhattan career. Price returns to the squad this season after redshirting the 201011 campaign. Seniors Joe Pluhowski and Pat Porteus, as well as sophomores Taylor Conlon, AJ Hanifin, Brian King and Josh Perez provide veteran experience in the distance events.

Sprints/Hurdles Junior Carlos Petrovich is the Jaspers’ most experienced sprinter. He served as the anchor leg on the bronze medal-winning 4 x 400 meter relay team at last year’s MAAC Outdoor Championships. Junior Tyrek Barney has been the primary leadoff man on the 4 x 400 relay in each of the last two seasons. Also a member of the Manhattan baseball team, junior Anthony Vega competes only during the indoor season, where he’s one of the top short sprinters in the conference. A trio of freshmen—Abdias Myrtil, Sheldon Derenoncourt and Greg Hodge will also be counted on in both the open sprints and the relays. Myrtil attended Half Hollow Hills High School West, where he was a six-time all-state and two-time All-America selection. Derenoncourt holds three school records at Bellport High School. He can run both short sprints and move up to the 800, but is primarily a 400-meter runner. Hodge will likely run on the Jaspers’ 4 x 400 meter relay, as well as the open 400. Sophomore Dimitri Mobley has proven capable in both the 110 and 400 meter hurdles. Indoors, Mobley contests the 400 and 500 meters. While at Bishop Loughlin High School, freshman Jaylen Henderson was a three-time league champion in the 55 meter hurdles. Versatile freshman Joe Rossi can help the Jaspers in any number of events. He’ll primarily run the 400 meters and 400 hurdles.

Jumps After battling injuries for much of the last two years, Albert Johnson III is primed for a big senior season. One of the top long/triple jumpers in program history, Johnson has twice qualified for the NCAA East Regional, making it in both events in 2010. Last year he earned the added distinction of a selection to the Capital One Academic All-District Team. In addition, Johnson can be called upon to provide points in the sprinting events at the MAAC Championships. Junior Dan Duffy finished third in the long jump at the MAAC Championships both indoors and outdoors in 2011. He’s another dual threat, capable of scoring points in the sprints as well as the long and triple jumps. Also expected to make big contributions in the long and triple jumps are freshmen Trevell Moxey and Neil Pinnock. Moxey qualified for last year’s Nike National Championships in the triple jump as a senior at North Penn High School. Pinnock, who also runs the 100 and 200 meters, is a local product from Iona Prep. In the high jump, junior Mike Carroll grabbed second place at both the MAAC Indoor and Outdoor Championships last season. He cleared 6’8¼ at the outdoor conference meet and made his first appearance at the IC4A Outdoor Championships. The high jump might be senior decathlete Ryan Degnan’s best event, while sophomore Matt Perrelli and freshman M a n h a t t a n

John Channell both specialize in the discipline. Junior Brian McGovern leads a deep group of pole vaulters. McGovern set a school record while winning the IC4A indoor title last season, clearing 16’10¾. After qualifying for the NCAA East Regional for the second straight year, he represented Ireland in the event at the 2011 European Team Championships in Izmir, Turkey over the summer. Junior Matt Waldron and senior Chris Schaefer placed third and fourth, respectively, at last year’s MAAC Outdoor Championships, while juniors Yardley Keshinover and Andrew Petrovich are also capable of producing big jumps. Joining this incredibly talented group is freshman Savio Paul, who was ranked No. 3 in New York State last year during the indoor season. For junior decathlete Felix Siljeback-Larsen, the jumps rank among his strongest events. Siljeback-Larsen grabbed the silver in the heptathlon at the 2011 IC4A Indoor Championships, then won the gold in the decathlon at the 2011 Metropolitan Outdoor Championships with a personal-best 6525 points. At the MAAC Outdoor Championships, which doesn’t include a multi-event competition, SiljebackLarsen contributed points in four different events, including a third-place showing in the high jump and sixth place in the long jump. He’s also one of the Jaspers’ best pole vaulters.

Throws One of the deepest event areas for the Jaspers has always been the throws. This year is no different. Leading the way is senior Roman Ewald, who was named Co-Most Outstanding Performer for Field Events at the 2011 MAAC Outdoor Championships. Ewald qualified for the IC4A Championships in three different events last year (shot put, discus, hammer throw) after contesting the weight throw at the IC4A indoor meet. Another valuable contributor in the throws is sophomore Rokas Kirlys. Kirlys scored points in the shot put discus and hammer throw at last season’s MAAC Outdoor Championships, and he qualified for the IC4A Championships (both indoors and outdoors) in the shot put. Senior Andrew Trass contested the javelin at the IC4A Outdoor Championships in 2011, and senior Patrick Consoli has been a MAAC scorer in each of the last two seasons. Mecca is also expecting big things out of a trio of freshmen. Anastas Papazov represented Bulgaria in the hammer throw at both the 2010 World Junior Championships and 2011 European Junior Championships. Fellow newcomer Edward Brentnall was an All-American in the hammer throw during his senior year at The Lovett School in Atlanta, while Phil Ragan was the New Jersey state champion in the javelin throw last year. Senior Mike Letizia is capable of scoring points in both the shot put and discus, while senior Kevin Rheinheimer and freshman Doug Montazella are primarily javelin throwers.

2011-12 women’s season preview

Ashley Bowman In 2011, the Manhattan College women’s track & field team finished second at both the indoor and outdoor Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Championships. The Jaspers had won both titles in each of the previous three seasons, and Head Coach Dan Mecca is eager to get his team back to the top of the conference. Mecca’s 2011-12 squad has the ability to make that happen. All the pieces appear to be in place for the Jaspers to regain their MAAC titles this season, as a talented contingent of newcomers joins a unit that was already strong across the board.

Cross Country/Distance Entering her final season as Manhattan’s top distance runner is senior Maria Jangsten. The cross country team MVP last season, Jangsten was the Jaspers’ top finisher in every race, capped by a 19th-place showing at the MAAC Championships. She also won bronze medals in the 1000 meters at the Metropolitan Indoor Championships and the 800 meters at the MAAC Outdoor Championships. Another of the Jaspers’ top distance M a n h a t t a n

Marro has competed over a silver at the outdoor number of distances during her time in championships. She’s Riverdale, and she even scored points in also a key member of the pole vault at last year’s MAAC Outdoor Manhattan’s 4x400 and Championships. Likewise, Turek’s best 4x800 meter relay squads. events are the longer sprints and middleSophomore Meghan distance races. Hayes had her cross country campaign cut Sprints/Hurdles short by injury last year. Perhaps the strongest contingent on the Hayes returned late in the women’s side is Manhattan’s sprint corps, indoor season, earning a led by juniors Cara Rostant and Ashley bronze medal at the MAAC Bowman, as well as senior Heidy Palacios. Indoor Championships, Rostant won the 200 meters and finished then picking up a silver second in the 400 meters at both the MAAC in the 4x800 relay at the Indoor and Outdoor Championships in outdoor meet. Sophomore 2011. Rostant also ran the anchor leg on the Elizabeth Rosenberger Jaspers’ 4x400 meter relay squad that won proved her versatility indoor and outdoor conference titles. last season.

Palacios qualified for the ECAC last season. Another Championships both indoors and outdoors sophomore looking to in 2011. She finished first in the 500 meters bounce back from an injury-plagued 2010-11 is Katie O’Connell. Mecca has further enhanced the roster with a talented group of freshmen, all of whom bring impressive credentials to Riverdale. A native of Nis, Serbia, Milena Stoicev placed sixth in the 1500 meters at the Balkan Championships and ninth at the Balkan Under-23 Cross Country Championships in 2011. Shelby Niles was an all-league selection at Trabuco Hills High School in California, where she led the team to a Top 10 finish at the CIF State Finals and a national ranking in 2010-11. On the track, Niles specializes in the longer distances. Alyssa Windle led Aquinas High School to a pair of league championships in cross country while also setting conference records in three different events on the track. Johanna Petruski is also capable of contributing across the board in the distance races. Emmy Koskinen Fellow newcomers Erica Brady and C o l l e g e

Jumps

Heidy Palacios at the Metropolitan Indoor Championships and was the leadoff runner on the 4x400 relay team, which broke the meet record while winning gold at the MAAC Indoor Championships. A trio of freshmen has been added to the mix in the sprints. Ieva Vitola and Nicole Mainente specialize in the shorter races, while Jennifer Stodgell will help the Jaspers in the 400 meters and 4x400 relay. Vitola was the Latvian champion both indoors and outdoors in 2011. Mainente earned all-league honors in both the 100 and 200 meters while at William Floyd High School. Stodgell competed in two events at the 2011 New Balance Indoor Nationals and was a member of the second-place team in the 4x400 meter relay at the 2011 New York State Outdoor Championships. Junior Andrea Nyback and freshman Doreen Horschig are the top two hurdlers on the squad. Nyback is the schoolrecord holder in the heptathlon, and she scored points in five different events at the MAAC Outdoor Championships last year. Along with the hurdles, her best events are probably the long jump and high jump. Horschig, who should also help the Jaspers in the jumps, is a two-time Middle German champion in the 100 meter hurdles. Freshman Victoria Fitzgerald won four Atlantic Coast League titles in the 100 meter M a n h a t t a n

Two of the top freshmen joining the program this season are all-state jumpers Jordan Rand and Wahnetah Carty. Rand won the triple jump at the 2011 Colorado State Championships, leaping a personal-best 40’5¼. She also finished third in the long jump at that meet, earning all-state honors in both events. Carty was an all-state selection both indoors and outdoors as a senior at Norwich Free Academy in Connecticut. Norwich’s school record-holder in the long jump, she also earned All-New England recognition three times. Carty was also an all-conference selection in the high jump. Local product Sabrina Spataro won the long jump and finished second in the high jump at the CHSAA Outdoor Championships last season while competing for Archbishop Molloy High School. Her brother, Jamie, was a fouryear letterwinner for the Jasper men’s team. Since her arrival in Riverdale, junior Melissa Yap has been arguably the top female pole vaulter in the MAAC. In 2011, she won a pair of conference titles and qualified for both the indoor and outdoor ECAC Championships for the second straight season. Sophomore Sarah Moore finished right behind Yap at last year’s MAAC Outdoor Championships, and she was the bronze medalist as part of a Manhattan sweep at the indoor meet. Moore is also a threat in the triple jump. Despite taking up the pole vault just two years ago, freshman Karolin Wagner already has a personal best of 12’6. She should immediately emerge as one of the top pole vaulters in the conference. Senior Deena Sena and junior Mary Screen add to the Jaspers’ depth in the pole vault. Screen can also be used in the long jump. Senior Kristi Krull Melissa Yap and sophomore Tiffany C o l l e g e

Goodwin look to make a splash in the heptathlon. Krull was third in the heptathlon at the 2011 Metropolitan Outdoor Championships, and she contributed points in four different events at the MAAC Outdoor Championships. Goodwin battled injuries for most of the year last season.

Throws Freshman Lydia Wehrli, who boasts impressive credentials in all four throwing events, holds the Swiss Under-23 national record in the hammer throw (197 feet). She won back-to-back Under-20 Swiss championships in 2008-09, then picked up the Under-23 Swiss national title in 2010. A shot putter and discus thrower, junior Alessandra Scanga joins the team this season. Another new face in the throws is junior Kelsey Huntoon, who’s also a member of the Manhattan volleyball team. In addition, the shot put ranks among the best events for heptathletes Krull, Goodwin and Nyback. Nyback is also strong in the javelin, as are Moore and Horschig.

Throwers Hammer Their Way into the History Books In 2005, four Manhattan College hammer throwers accomplished something that had never before been done in the history of NCAA track & field. Manhattan’s Zoran Loncar (207’2¼), Anders Constantin (204’6¾), Paul Peulich (204’4) and Michael Freeman (200’2) finished first, second, third and fourth, respectively, in the hammer throw at the 2005 IC4A Championships, all with throws over 200 feet. The four throws of 200-plus feet marked the first time in NCAA history that any school had four hammer throwers eclipse the 200-foot mark in the same competition. “It’s just a tremendous feat,” said Head Coach Dan Mecca, who has coach All-Americans, Olympians, and NCAA Champions during his tenure at Manhattan.

“At the time it didn’t cross our minds that it could be an IC4A and NCAA record,” Mecca said. “We were just trying to score as many points as possible, and it wasn’t until after the fact that we realized we’d broken a record.” Success for Manhattan at the IC4As is not uncommon. The Jaspers have captured the second-most team titles in the history of the event, trailing only Villanova. Most recently, Manhattan captured the indoor team title in 2004. The brilliant showing by the throwers came just one year after Jake Freeman had set the IC4A record by winning all four indoor weight and outdoor hammer throw championships during his career.

The finish marked the first time that any school owned the top four spots in the hammer throw competition in IC4A history. It was also the second time in the IC4A’s storied 130-year history that a single school went 1-2-3-4 in any event, with the only other time being Villanova’s finish in the 1500 meters at the 1979 championships.

Even with that defeat The New York Times selected Manhattan College as the #1 college basketball team in New York City. 1965-68 Football Team —These years of football saw Jasper powerhouses Sean O’Keefe ’69, who made the Washington Redskins and Roger Freda ’67, who played with the farm systems of the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles, playing in the Kelly Green. Team Captain and Hall of Fame member, Bob Byrnes ’68, currently the athletic director at Manhattan College, contributed a great deal to the victories on the gridiron. Some of the most memorable games came against top rivals. Manhattan beat Fordham in 1966 with a score of 38-26, after not even matching up with them since 1926. Quarterback Shannon matched his interceptions with awesome throws to Freda to connect for three touchdowns. That game gave the Jaspers the “club national championship.”

2011 Hall of Fame Inductees Robert T. Baker (Football Coach 1973-1982)

Serving as captain of the lacrosse team for three years, Graham ranked second in assists while also standing first with 261 career points. In 1997, she finished second in the nation in goals per game with 4.31. As a senior, Graham earned the MAAC Player of the Year award. She was also a MAAC All Academic honoree.

The longest tenured football coach at Manhattan College, Robert T. Baker began on campus as an assistant coach in 1973 and took over the helm the following year. Baker served as the head coach of the Jaspers’ club football team until 1982 as he rebuilt the program and compiled 30 wins during his career.

Thomas Leder ’61

Baker turned the Jaspers into a fierce team that competitors feared. Some of the more storied moments include Bart Gallagher’s catch on the final play against Saint Peter’s and Mike Conway running for 350 yards against Farleigh Dickinson. The Jasper team that had no real home field put itself on the national map. In the 1982 season, Manhattan earned the National Collegiate Football Association (NCFA) Atlantic Conference Championship and made their sole appearance in the National Club Championship game against undefeated Bentley. Baker was named NCFA Coach of the Year in both 1980 and 1982. Bob went on to coach at Pace University, serving as assistant, defensive and head coach for a total of nine years. He also worked as an assistant at local rival Fordham University.

A two-sport athlete, Thomas Leder ’61 came to Manhattan College on a baseball scholarship and became lethal both on the mound and with his bat. Right from the start, it was evident that he would be an exciting pitcher to watch with a 10-0 shutout to his credit freshman year against now archrival St. John’s. Shutouts became a habit for the right-hander under Hall of Fame coach Dave Curran. He rarely gave up a run, boasting an ERA of 1.35 during his sophomore year, while batting a solid .321. His honors in Riverdale included: All Star Team of the Metropolitan Collegiate Baseball Conference in 1959, Manhattan’s Most Valuable Player Award and leading pitcher in the Met Conference in 1960 and honorable mention as a leading pitcher in the Met Conference in 1961. Recruited professionally throughout college, Leder decided to earn his degree first. He signed with the Cincinnati Reds upon graduation, pitching for manager Johnny Vandeer Meer’s Tampa team. Tom continued to pitch shutouts at the professional level with an 1.60 ERA and a 6-1 record, earning a spot on the 1962 roster before an injury ended his baseball career.

Mark P. Connor ’72

A transfer from Belmont Abbey College, Mark P. Connor ’72 pitched for three seasons with the Jaspers before being recruited by the Minnesota Twins in 1971. During his time in Riverdale, Connor broke a strikeout record, taking down 20 batters in an extra innings duel against Columbia. Also known for pitching complete games, the right-hander maintained an ERA of 0.82 in 1971. His string of honors included selection to the St. John’s University Centennial Tournament All Star Team, Manhattan’s Most Valuable Player Award in 1971, and honorable mention from the NCAA NYC Metropolitan Conference All Star team and selection to the Outstanding College Athletes of America.

Although baseball was considered Leder’s strength, he managed to put up good numbers on the hardwood throughout his basketball career. Captain of the team in 1960-61, Leder shot over 50% from the field throughout his career and averaged more than six rebounds per game. One of the highlights was a 32-point game over St. John’s as a freshman. Regularly scoring in double figures, Leder was a key to victory, especially when it came to archrivals. The Jaspers beat Fordham all three seasons Leder played. He also scored 19 points against Providence in the NIT in 1959.

Connor began honing his coaching skills as an assistant under the Jaspers’ coach, Dave Curran, while completing his degree. He pitched for the Minnesota Twins farm team, logging 57 strikeouts in 55 innings. When an injury derailed his pitching career, Connor continued to participate in the sport he loved as a coach. During his career he has coached at the University of Tennessee, both as an assistant and head coach. He also served as pitching coach for the New York Yankees, Arizona Diamondbacks, Toronto Blue Jays, Texas Rangers and Baltimore Orioles.

Manny Silverio ’80

A Fred Dwyer recruit from North Bergen High School, Manny Silverio ’80 set the mark high for the 16 lb. hammer and 35 lb. weight throwers of the future at Manhattan College. He came to the College with a national record for hammer throw of 231 feet 11 inches, a record that would stand for 23 years on the high school level. At one time, Silverio was also the Manhattan College record holder in both the 35 lb. weight (64’ ¾”) and the hammer throw (212’ 6”). He received NCAA All American honors in 1977. His freshman year included All East Team honors for the hammer throw and a Met Championship for the hammer with a meet record of 202 feet, 7 inches. Silverio rounded out the year with a second place finish at the IC4As. He did not let a sophomore knee injury stop his career, although it derailed much of the season.

Rev. John F. Cullinane ’51

Rev. John Cullinane ’51 has brought his gentle, quiet influence to the courts and fields in Riverdale for decades. Known fondly by players and coaches as Father Jack, he can remember his first Manhattan College football game at the age of six, attending with his father, a 1924 graduate. He even traveled to Holy Cross to cheer on the Jaspers as a child, so it was only logical that he become a Jasper himself. Father Jack graduated from the college with a bachelor of business administration degree in 1951, but he never quite left his beloved Jaspers. By the 1960s, now a priest with the Brooklyn Archdiocese, Father Jack became a confidant to Hall of Fame coach, Jack Powers and has not left the hard wood since. The official team chaplain for a decade, he had as much influence without the title, being available to coaches and players throughout the tenures of Powers, Brian Mahoney, Gordon Chiesa, Tom Sullivan, Steve Lappas, Fran Fraschilla, John Leonard, Bobby Gonzalez and Barry Rohrssen.

Silverio came back strong in 1979-this time hitting the record books at the Mets for the 35 lb weight with a 62 foot, 10 inch toss. He also took the Mets in the hammer that year. The IC4A champion for hammer as a junior, Silverio received All East Honors in both weight categories. In 1980, he stayed strong, taking the Met in both categories again and setting a record for the hammer with his Jasper record throw of 212’ 6”. That toss crushed his own record by nearly ten feet and earned him an opportunity at the Olympic trials. He also earned All East honors for the hammer throw and placed third at the IC4As as he completed his Jasper career.

Father Jack was considered the Jasper chaplain for all of athletics. He was especially active with the track and field teams and dedicated to the Spiked Shoe Club. He generously gave of his time celebrating special masses at the College and praying with teams before games big and small. Many special sports moments over the decades include Father Jack among the fans in attendance, both home and away, including the NCAA Tournament men’s basketball victories.

Kathleen McCarrick Weiden ’79

When Kathleen McCarrick Weiden ’79 came to Manhattan College after a successful high school basketball career at St. Catharine Academy in the Bronx. She became a leading force behind the creation of a women’s basketball club, collecting recruits and sparking interest on campus. With enough faculty, administrator and student support she helped forge the Jaspers women’s basketball team.

James A. Gillcrist ’51

Within three years the Manhattan women’s basketball team won the Hudson Valley League Women’s Championship as the only non-scholarship team in the league competing against varsity squads. The College rewarded their efforts with varsity status for the next season.

James A. Gillcrist ’51, a Bishop Loughlin graduate, was part of George Eastment’s Track renaissance at Manhattan College. He competed in varsity shot put and high jump for four years. He came to Manhattan after already competing as a freshman at Swathmore College in 1945, where he was captain of the freshman team. Gillcrist also competed for the U.S. Navy from 1945 to 1947, taking second place at the ICC’s and 3rd place in the Penn Relays, both in the high jump. In 1947, he donned the Kelly green. Jim had numerous victories that year, including second place finishes in the high jump at the Metro Intercollegiate, IC4A and Seton Hall Relays, adding another second place finish at Seton Hall in the broad jump.

Women’s Cross Country 1986

The ’86 Women’s Cross Country Team became the first Manhattan College team to capture a MAAC Championship. The squad set school records that still stand today for the five-person (18:14.2) and seven-person (18:26.0) team average. These Lady Jaspers collected title after title that season. They won the Met Intercollegiate Championship, the Collegiate Track Conference Downstate NY Championship, and the Hudson Valley Women’s Athletic Conference Championship. They also won the Wagner College Invitational and the Commonwealth Invitational. With a mid-season ranking of 4 in Region II, the Lady Jaspers set four meet records during the season. The team roster included: Christine Balvo ’90; Lisa Donofrio ’89; Sheila Donohue ’87, co-captain; Gerry Fitzgerald ’90; Kathy Giovanniello ’87, co-captain; Deirdre Keyes ‘91; Tara McDevitt ’90; Kathleen McVeigh ’89; Donna Meyer ’87; Laura Ann Nokland ’90; Sue Prestipino; Tonja Rice ’88; Cheryl Simon ’88; Audra Thomson ’89; and Edith Vilarde’ 89. This well-balanced team took turns taking headlines and contributing to the victories throughout the season, beating competitors from all the Jaspers’ favorite rivals. They turned the Van Cortlandt Park course into their own stomping ground, under Coach Fred Dwyer’s leadership, and paved the way for successful teams that would follow.

His wins continued to mount in 1950, placing in everything from dual meets against the likes of Army and Villanova to a second place in the high jump at the IC4As, which contributed to the Jaspers taking the championship. He also took first in the high jump and second in the broad jump at the Mets. The victory over West Point was especially sweet since no one had defeated them in a dual meet in eight years. Gillcrist finished his time at Manhattan as captain, a title rarely given to a field competitor on the team. That year, Manhattan won all New York State Intercollegiate meets that Gillcrist competed. He medaled in the high jump, broad jump and discus, jumping his personal best for Manhattan at the Boston Athletic Associations Indoor Games to take second place with a leap of six feet 4 1/8 inches.

Lori Graham ’99

Originally a scholarship soccer recruit from Long Island, Lori Graham ’99 started with women’s lacrosse when it was still a club sport. She put big numbers in the record books for both teams. In soccer, Graham graduated with the lowest career goals against average (2.02) in team history, serving as starting goalkeeper for four years. Team captain, she also ranked 19th nationally in Division I with eight saves per game in 1998. Graham brought those skills to the sidelines, acting as assistant coach for the women’s soccer team upon graduation.
