THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH

F

ounded in 1850 and encompassing 1,500 acres in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountain range, the University of Utah prepares students to live and compete in the global workplace. Utah became a member of the Pac-12 Conference on July 1, 2011. With an enrollment of over 31,000, the U. offers 100 undergraduate and more than 90 graduate level fields of study. It has earned a top-tier grading from the Academic Ranking of World Universities for 11 consecutive years, and offers nationally-ranked programs in law, pharmacy, mathematics, business, biomedical engineering, family medicine, life sciences, entertainment arts and engineering. The U. made CollegeAtlas.org’s 2014 A-List— which grades schools on academic quality, accessibility and affordability—ranking in the top 12 for both in-state and out-of-state tuition. RESEARCH The University of Utah ranks among the top public research universities in the nation. From university-developed technology, the U. has launched nearly 127 new startups over the last seven years, consistently placing it in the top 10 in the nation for university startup creation. Geneticist Mario R. Capecchi received the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on gene targeting.

RICE- ECCLES STADIUM

RICE- ECCLES FACTS First Game: Sept. 12, 1998 Seating Capacity: 45,807 Largest Crowd: 47,619 Chair Seats: 15,015 Suites: 25 Surface: FieldTurf

S

ince the gates to Rice-Eccles Stadium opened 17 years ago on September 12, 1998, fans have poured through them in record numbers. In fact, for the past seven seasons, attendance at Utah home football games has exceeded the venue’s seating capacity. Rice-Eccles Stadium’s seating capacity was increased to 45,807 prior to the start of the 2014 season, when the Utes averaged over-capacity crowds of 46,436 to set the school single-season attendance record. Entering the 2015 season, Utah has played to 31-straight sellouts in Rice-Eccles Stadium extending back to the 2010 opener against Pittsburgh. Of the sellouts, 28 were played before crowds that exceeded the stadium’s capacity (which was 45,017 from 19982013). There have been 49 standing-room-only crowds over the past 16 years. With the venue’s enlarged seating capacity in 2014, six of the top 10 crowds in Rice-Eccles Stadium history were recorded last year. A record crowd of 47,619 watched the Utes defeat No. 20 USC while 47,528 were on hand for Oregon’s visit last November. Four other games have gone over the 46,000 mark, including California (46,768) in 2003, TCU (46,522) in 2010, BYU (46,488) in 2008 and USC (46,037) in 2012. With its striking design, stunning mountain backdrop and panoramic views of the Salt Lake Valley, Rice-Eccles Stadium is perhaps the most beautiful stadium in the country. The eyes of the world were on the venue in 2002 as it hosted the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games. It is the third stadium located on the site, predated by Ute Stadium (1927) and Rice Stadium (1972). In 1996, Utah Director of Athletics Chris Hill initiated a fund-raising campaign to replace aging 32,500-seat Rice Stadium. A lead gift of $10 million soon came in from the George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Foundation, steered by former Ute All-America skier Spence Eccles. The total construction costs ran $50 million, of 8 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL

which $20 million came from private gifts, $10 million from athletics department bonding, $12 million from the University of Utah and $8 million from the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Committee. Preliminary construction work began in June 1997. Two days after the final home game that fall, wrecking crews moved in and demolished Rice Stadium. Only the south end zone bleachers and the Rice name (Robert L. Rice contributed $1 million in the 1972 renovation) would carry over to the new venue. Rising from the rubble less than 10 months later was Rice-Eccles Stadium, an imposing concrete, steel and glass edifice that dominates the Salt Lake skyline. Visible for miles is the stadium box, located 14 stories above ground and encased in a 400-squarefoot expanse of tempered glass. The box is supported by twin towers containing four high-speed elevators. Occupants of the stadium box are treated to sweeping views of the Wasatch Mountains to the east and downtown Salt Lake City, the Great Salt Lake and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west. Suites are located on the first two levels of the stadium box, while the top level is reserved for the media. The Cleone and Spence Eccles Scholarship Box on Level 4 seats 450 and has indoor-outdoor seating, along with eight suites. The Mezzanine on Level 5 provides another 17 suites. Level 6 features the Varsity Reception Room, which seats 400, as well as the John Mooney Working Press Area, named in honor of the late Ute football writer and Salt Lake Tribune sports editor. Three tiers of press seating can accommodate more than 100 media representatives, and there are also booths for television and radio (among them the Bill Marcroft Radio Booth, named for the former “Voice of the Utes”). Upgrades have continued in recent years. In June 2003, Larry H. and Gail Miller donated $1.6 million for a video display system and new scoreboards. In 2007, an LED board stretching 200 x 4 feet across the north end zone was made possible by Utah Sports Properties at a

cost of $500,000. A second LED board was placed at the bottom of the south end zone stands in 2012. The north endzone scoreboards were replaced in 2014. Plans call for a new and enlarged state-ofthe-art videoboard and sound system to be installed behind the south end zone stands prior to the start of the 2016 season. The stadium floor has also changed with the times and new FieldTurf was installed in June 2009, replacing the initial FieldTurf version from 2002. Previous surfaces (dating back to old Ute Field) included natural grass from 1927-71 and again in 2000-01, AstroTurf from 1972-95 and SportGrass from 1995-99. The south end zone bleachers, built in 1982, house the locker rooms, the Gary L. Crocker Stadium Club suite and a band room. The plaza behind the south end zone was dedicated on Aug. 21, 2003 as the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games Cauldron Park. The plaza also includes the Utah Athletics main ticket office.

UTAH TRADITIONS

T

he University of Utah officially adopted the nickname “Utes” for its athletic teams in 1972. The school uses the nickname with permission of the Ute Tribal Council. “What is a Ute?” The Utes are a great basin Indian tribe. The Utes were one of the first tribes to acquire the horse from the Spanish, which transformed their culture and enabled them to become resourceful and valiant. The Utes speak their own language that is derived from the Uto-Aztecan language family. Currently, there are more than 3,000 Ute tribal members and half of them live on the Uintah and Ouray Reservation in northeastern Utah. The Utes are important contributors to Utah’s economy through distribution of their energy resources and raising stock. “The Pride of Utah” Marching Utes began in the 1940s as a military band. In the turbulent ’60s, support for the band dwindled, and in 1969, the Associated Students for the University of Utah (ASUU) discontinued its funding. The band was revived in 1976, and since then, the “Pride of Utah” Marching Utes have performed at all home football games, as well as numerous NFL and college bowl games. To the victor goes the Beehive Boot. The authentic pioneer boot has been awarded annually since 1971 to the Utah school with the best record against in-state foes. The schools that compete for the boot are Utah, Brigham Young and Utah State. In its 44-year history, the Beehive Boot has been awarded to Utah 13 times (1978, ‘88, ‘93, ‘94, ’95, ’99, 2002, ’03, ’04, ’05, ‘08, ‘11 and ‘13), BYU 22 times and Utah State nine times. The Block U (elevation 5,300 feet above sea level) was built on Mount Van Cott bordering the Utah campus in 1907. Lights on the 100-foot-tall landmark 10 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL

are illuminated primarily for athletic events and notify people in the Salt Lake Valley that the Utes are playing at home (the lights flash after a Utah victory). Originally built with limestone, the Block U was later replaced by a cement version. In 1969, the design was modified and 124 lights were installed. A fundraising campaign in 2006 raised $400,000 to renovate the aging landmark. Slabs of concrete and steel rebar now reinforce the 5,000 feet of surface area. Another major improvement was the installation of light emitting diode (LED) red and white lights, which are controlled through a wireless system. The MUSS, one of the most avid and vocal student fan clubs in the nation, is nearly 6,000 strong at Ute home football games. The name MUSS was originally derived from the school fight song lyrics (… No rival band of college fans dare meet us in the

muss). Members now refer to MUSS as an acronym for “Mighty Utah Student Section. The MUSS turns 14 years old this season. Originally known as the Student Fan Club and the Utah Fan Club, the group adopted the name MUSS for the 2002 football season. MUSS members are easily identified by their customized tee-shirts and their policy of standing throughout the entire game. They have a number of other traditions during football games, including the Third Down Jump, in which members jump around and make noise every time the opposing team prepares for a third down play. Other rituals include the U of U Chop, which occurs every time the band plays a specific percussion song and involves MUSS members forming a U with their hands and “chopping” to the beat of the music, and the First Down Chant (members raise their hands in unison, yelling “first down,” and mimic the referees by pointing their arm in the direction of the first down). The line of “fives” hanging in front of the MUSS section refers to the False Start Tally. Whenever the opposing team is charged with a false start, the MUSS hangs a numeral five in front of its section indicating a five-yard penalty. Every time the Utes score, the band plays the school fight song, signaling the MUSS to sing along to the words of Utah Man/Fan. After every game, the Ute team members congregate in front of the MUSS section and join in the singing of Utah Man. Watch for the MUSS to regularly “Throw up a U,” a tradition that began at the Utah women’s gymnastics meets in 2004 and soon caught on with all the Ute teams and fans. It involves forming the U mentioned in the U of U Chop and raising it toward the sky. The MUSS currently sponsors fan clubs for the Utah football, men’s basketball, volleyball and gymnastics teams. The football team began sporting a MUSS decal on the back of its helmets in 2004.

KYLE WHITTINGHAM HEAD COACH

K

yle Whittingham, the 2008 National Coach of the Year, has participated in more Utah victories than any football coach in school history. As an assistant and head coach, Whittingham has participated in 170 victories in his 20 years at Utah. Eighty-five of those (85-43) have come in 10 years as the head coach. Whittingham has been almost unbeatable in bowl games and is tied with John Robinson (USC/ UNLV) for the best bowl winning percentage of any coach in NCAA history with an .889 mark. The two have identical 8-1 bowl records and the NCAA minimum is seven wins. Whittingham is the only person who was involved in all of Utah’s nine-consecutive bowl wins from 1999-2009, which tied the second-longest bowl win streak in NCAA history. He was the head coach for six of those wins and the defensive coordinator for the first three. He came to Utah in 1994 as the defensive line coach and was promoted to defensive coordinator the next year. On December 8, 2004, Whittingham was named the school’s 20th head coach. His first victory came three weeks later when he co-coached (with Urban Meyer) the 2005 Fiesta Bowl win over Pittsburgh. His first regular-season victory was

Year at Utah: 11th Career Record: 85-43 Bowl Record: 8-1* (*2005 Fiesta Bowl co-coach)

against Arizona in the 2005 season opener. In 2008, Whittingham engineered the best season in Utah football history when the Utes finished 13-0 and routed Alabama—a team that had spent five weeks at No. 1—in the Sugar Bowl. Utah finished the season with a No. 2 AP ranking and Whittingham was recognized as the National Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and the Paul “Bear” Bryant Awards committee. The country’s only undefeated FBS team in 2008, Utah beat four top-25 teams—two that finished in the top 10. In addition to his national awards, Whittingham was named the Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year. He has had four teams finish in the top 25 in his head coaching tenure: No. 2 in 2008 (AP), No. 18 in 2009 (AP), No. 23 in 2010 (Coaches) and No. 21 in 2014 (AP). Utah appeared in every College Football Playoff ranking in the CFP’s inaugural season in 2014 with a final rank of No. 22. Last season, while leading Utah to its best overall (9-4) and conference (5-4) record since joining the Pac-12 in 2011, Whittingham was named to the watch list for the 2014 Dodd Trophy and was a semifinalist for the Maxwell Football Club Collegiate Coach of the Year Award.

league championship game until the final week of the regular season. They bounced back to beat Georgia Tech in the Sun Bowl and finish with an 8-5 record. The 2012 Utes won three of their final five Pac-12 games and the 2013 season included an upset of No. 5 Stanford. Whittingham’s players have earned numerous individual honors as well. He has coached 12 players to major All-America team honors—among them 10 first-team and two second-team honorees. First-team All-Americans were Luther Elliss (1994, consensus defensive lineman), Eric Weddle (2006, consensus defensive back), Louie Sakoda (2007, punter; 2008, unanimous consensus place kicker), Zane Beadles (2009, offensive line), Shaky Smithson (2010, punt returner), Star Lotulelei (2012, defensive tackle), Reggie Dunn (2012, kick returner), Tom Hackett (2014, punter), Nate Orchard (2014, defensive end) and Kaelin Clay (2014, returner). His second-team AllAmericans were Morgan Scalley (2004, defensive back) and Caleb Schlauderaff (2010, offensive line). Hackett became the first Ray Guy Award winner in school history in 2014 and Orchard received the Ted Hendricks Award as the nation’s top defensive end. Whittingham’s players have won 63 first-team all-conference awards, including 11 in Utah’s first four seasons of Pac-12 play. Among them were two-time first-team honorees Hackett and Lotulelei (2011-12).

In his first season after moving to center in 2014, Siaosi Aiono allowed just one sack in 747 regular-season plays.

CENTER OF ATTENTION Senior Siaosi Aiono, drawn to the family atmosphere of the Utah program, is now the anchor of the offensive line. By Chalis Benda Utah Athletics Communications

A

t 6-foot-2 and 310 pounds, Siaosi Aiono has always been big for his age. He dreamed of playing little league football, but was over the weight limit and could only play baseball in his early years. As much as he enjoyed his time on the diamond and as good as he was at baseball, it wasn’t football. When he was finally allowed to step on the gridiron, he immediately fell in love all over again and knew that he wanted to pursue football as far as he could. During his career at South Hills High School in West Covina, Calif., Aiono was named first-team allSierra League and second-team all-state. Helping Aiono’s development was the support he 24 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL

received from his large extended family. Growing up in his grandparents’ home, there could be up to 15 people around at any given time. His grandpa took over the father-figure role in the household and Aiono looked to him for help with school and football. His mom was also there whenever he needed her, even though she had four other children to care for. “My grandfather may have been the father figure in my life, but my mom, wow, she’s the one who shaped me into the person I am today,” Aiono said. “She was like my mom and dad at the same time. Those two are the best.” At the age of 18, Aiono and his wife, Gabriella,

welcomed their son, Sean, into the world. It was a bigger adjustment than they were expecting, at first. But once they got into the swing of things, being parents became easier. Aiono not only had a newborn son and a wife to care for, but as an emerging prep star he had to decide where he wanted to play college football. After initially committing to BYU his sophomore year, he changed his mind a few years later and decided to go to Utah. “I knew I was going to spend the next four to five years with the guys I’m playing football with. I’m glad I came here,” Aiono said. “These guys are like my brothers. The family atmosphere was cool and that’s why I decided to come here.” Aiono redshirted his first year as a Ute. He focused on making himself stronger and faster, and he learned a lot about playing football at the next level from the veteran players in practice. When his opportunity came to step on the field in 2012, he was optimistic he would be ready. However, he wasn’t (continued on page 26)


UTE SENIOR PROFILE

Senior defensive end Jason Fanaika leads the defensive line in tackles and has 7.5 tackles for loss this season.

CORE STRENGTH Senior defensive end Jason Fanaika has drawn inspiration from his father and others close to him, fueling his success. By Eric Doughty Utah Athletic Communications

T

here is a quote in the Disney movie Hercules that states, “A true hero is not measured by the size of his strength, but the strength of his heart.” That sentiment especially rings true for Utah senior defensive end Jason Fanaika, who has traveled a difficult road to become a premier player for one of the nation’s top-ranked defenses. Resembling Hercules in several ways, Fanaika is Utah’s undisputed strongest player, squatting 830 pounds and bench pressing 500 pounds. However, it is the strength of Fanaika’s character and his ability to persevere through difficult times that sets him apart from his peers. A native of Pleasant Grove, Utah, Fanaika was introduced to football early on in life thanks to his

family. Positioning himself in front of the TV with his older brother to watch dominant NFL defensive players like Warren Sapp became a regular Sunday occurrence in the Fanaika household. “My oldest brother was a defensive tackle in high school and went on to play for Dixie College,” Fanaika said. “He was a huge fan of Warren Sapp, so I remember watching the Buccaneers and the Raiders back in the day. I would watch a lot of football games with my older brother. My dad is also a big sports fan. He played rugby way back in the day and taught physicality. He always tried to put me and my siblings in aggressive sports.” Fanaika helped lead the Pleasant Grove Vikings

to the quarterfinals of the 5A playoffs during his junior and senior seasons. As a senior, Fanaika recorded 21 tackles, five sacks and one interception; and was named to the Deseret News 5A honorable mention all-state team as a defensive end. He also contributed on the offensive side of the ball at tight end with 28 catches for 310 yards and six touchdowns. Despite being one of the best players on a talented high school team, Fanaika didn’t initially consider pursuing football at the next level. “I liked the idea, but my senior year I think we had nine Division I players on the team and a lot of them were getting huge offers,” Fanakia said. “I know that my quarterback is now the starting safety at Stanford. He was getting offers from everywhere. We would have schools like Miami, Vanderbilt, Texas, Florida, Florida State coming in to recruit him, which was cool to watch.” However, Fanaika didn’t draw much interest from major college coaches until former Utah State head coach Gary Anderson approached him during a summer camp. Anderson convinced Fanaika to focus on playing on the defensive side of the ball, although he didn’t need too much convincing. “It made a lot of sense because he told me that most of the tight ends in the [NFL] are huge guys, like 6’6”, and I am only like 6’3”. It would be a tougher transition trying to get into the league,” Fanaika explained. “He put me at defensive end, and after my freshman year he moved me to outside linebacker. I have started at several positions on defense, so it has definitely been a fun ride.” After getting 15 tackles in 10 games as a true freshman in 2010, Fanaika recorded 14 tackles with two tackles for loss and a half sack over 11 games with four starts in 2011. Fanaika left USU after his sophomore season to serve an LDS church mission in Indianapolis. However, he came home early after receiving the life-changing news that his father was diagnosed with colon cancer. Fanaika elected to transfer to Utah to be closer to home. “My dad’s cancer was pretty aggressive when he first got it. My biggest concern was to be close to my family. If there was anything that my parents or brothers and sisters needed, I wanted to be there for them,” Fanaika said. Watching his father persevere through cancer taught him some valuable life lessons and helped shaped him into the man that he is today. “I am sure that my dad loves his job, but while he was going through chemo he was still going to work, and that was tough for me to see,” Fanaika recalled. “He would have no energy when he left, and then he would come home at night, go into his room, and just sleep from seven o’clock at night until six the 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL 25


UTE SENIOR PROFILE

Jason Fanakia made eight starts in 2014, getting two of his five sacks against Washington State. next morning. I was definitely grateful for that type of experience, because seeing my dad go through all of those things made me not take for granted anymore the opportunities that I was given. After that, it made me realize how important all of these different opportunities that we are given really are, and how much we can make out of them if we allow those opportunities to help us out.” Another major influence in Fanaika’s life has been

his wife, Brittney. The two had just gotten married when Jason began his career at Utah as a walkon. With no scholarship to help cover the bills, Jason worked as much as he could, but Brittany had to take on most of the load financially and never once complained. “My sophomore year of high school she rejected me,” Fanaika recalled with a laugh. “I kind of had a grudge towards her for awhile, but after high school I really wanted to kiss her so I hit her up, and luckily I got her to stick around. We were dating for a long time and then we got married. “If there were an All-Star roster for wives, there’s no doubt that she would be on it,” he continued. “She has done so much for my family and our relationship. She wants me to take advantage of this opportunity to play football because she understands that it is not going to come around again. All of her support helps me strive to be better at this game, and hopefully make it a career.” Fanaika had a great mentor his first two seasons at Utah in All-America defensive end Nate Orchard. Fanaika roomed with Orchard for the majority of the road trips last season and said Orchard’s humility is one of the main things he tries to emulate. “A lot of people say that they are humble when

they receive a bunch of the limelight, but Nate is probably the most humble guy that I have ever met,” Fanaika said. “I was lucky to have him as a roommate last year. He was interviewed by Sports Illustrated, got all of this attention nationally and was receiving all kinds of accolades, but remained so humble. He never changed up his routine, his process, and that is definitely one thing that I learned from him. He is extremely humble, loyal and definitely a guy of his word. If he says that he is going to do something, he will do it. If I go into an alleyway and it is dark, I’ll take Nate with me every time.” With Utah becoming bowl eligible for the second year in a row, Fanaika has played a major role in the team’s success. He leads the defensive line in tackles, including 7.5 tackles for loss to rank second on the team overall, and has two forced fumbles. Approaching the homestretch of the season, Fanaika hopes to build on what has already been a successful year, utilizing what he has learned from those he has been close to during his life. When asked what his goals are for the remainder of the season, Fanaika quickly responded, “Win out, go to the Rose Bowl and then get a playoff bid. It’s all about the team.”

SIAOSI AIONO

(continued from page 24) ready. His first game as a Ute has stuck with him throughout his entire career. “It sucked,” Aiono recalled. “It was against ASU. There were a lot of guys who got hurt that game for me to play. I got crushed on the first play by a guy named Will Sutton. It stuck with me, I will never forget. He is in the NFL now so hopefully that [explains] me getting killed like that. The second game was a lot better. The guys I was running against weren’t as good as Will Sutton. I was a lot better prepared. I was a lot more comfortable. “ Aiono saw action in three games on the offensive line as a redshirt freshman before playing in 10 contests with eight starts at right tackle as a sophomore in 2013. He was growing fairly confident at that position, but the Ute coaches felt he would be a natural anchor for the line at center. “I kind of got put into that positon and they wanted me to really take it over,” Aiono said. “Being the oldest guy on the line right now, I take pride in it because the boys look up to me and I try to help them. I got help from other guys over the years like Tevita Stevens, Vincent Jones, Hiva Lutui. They all helped me get better at being a center.”

26 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL

Siaosi Aiono has started eight games at center this season, missing two due to injury.

Aiono moved to center in 2014, starting 12 games there while allowing just one sack in 747 regular-season plays. He has started eight games this season, missing two due to a hand injury. He has mastered that position and is even getting national recognition. At the start of the season, Aiono was named to the watch list for 2015 Rimington Award, which is presented to college football’s top center. “It was funny how I found out,” Aiono said. “I got a lot of texts from other people telling me congratulations. I didn’t even know what the Rimington Award was. I looked it up and saw the top centers up there, the ones I look up to. It was an honor to be nominated with them.” Aiono will earn his degree in sociology in December. He will take a shot at playing in the NFL, but in the end he just wants to find a job that will support his family. He and his wife plan to stay in Utah. “I talked to my wife. It’s a dream [to play in the NFL]. I would kill myself if I didn’t try, but I am alright if I don’t make it. I’ve always wanted to do something with football, either coaching or something. I just want to make sure we are stable,” Aiono explained.

SWIMMING AND DIVING PREVIEW

Women’s Team Stina Colleou is one of the key returnees for the Utes. At the Pac-12 Championships, she took sixth in the 200 breast with a time of 2:10.61 and eighth in the 100 breast with a time of 1:01.31. She then went on to race at the NCAA Championships. Diver Amanda Casillas finished 11th in the platform event with 473.50 total points, 23rd in the one-meter (256.85 points) and 31st in the three-meter (250.70 points) at Zones. She also posted a top-10 finish in the one-meter at the Pac-12 Championships. In the finals of the 500 free, sophomore Maddie Meisel returns after notching the third-fastest time in school history in the 500 free at the Pac-12 Championships. She also recorded Utah’s secondfastest time ever in the 1650 free at the Pac-12 Championships. Brianna Francis set Utah’s second fastest mark all-time in the 400 IM and advanced to the NCAA Championships in the event while Megan Kawaguchi earned a top-10 finish in the 100 back at the Pac-12 Championships. “On the women’s side, we knew it was going to be tough because we graduated a few student-athletes that competed for us at the NCAA Championships last season, so there is going to be a little rebuilding. However, our younger swimmers have really had some nice performances and we have another really talented class coming in next year, so the future is very bright,” said Dykstra. Bence Kiraly placed 12th in the 500 free at the 2014 NCAA Championships.

MATURING UTES CONTINUING TO MAKE STRIDES By Chalis Benda Utah Athletics Communications

U

tah swimming and diving is looking to make a splash as it enters its fifth year of competition in the always rigorous Pac-12 Conference. “We have so many athletes that have the talent to swim at this level, they just have never done it before,” said head coach Joe Dykstra. “You have to get over the nerves and you have to build the confidence to train at this kind of level, and sometimes it means just getting a year under your belt to figure that out. That big group of freshmen that we have, has that experience now and we expect big things from them moving forward.”

Stina Colleou qualified for the NCAA Championships last season in the 100- and 200-breast events. 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL 49

brought in a very good freshman class. That group was great, but it was a very big learning curve for them as well. About half of the men’s team that swam at the Pac-12 Championships were freshmen, and that bodes well for the future of this team. We still managed to put up a lot of fast times, win a lot of meets and really end the season with one of the best men’s teams in recent history.” Utah won its first nine duel meets last season with its only loss coming in the regular-season finale against USC. The men welcomed six newcomers, Cole Avery, Connor Cain, Daniel McArthur, Colten Montgomery, Keaton Quinn, Daniel Theriault and Paul Unger.

All-American diver Jacob Crayne broke a 10-year school record in the three-meter event last season. The Utes added 11 newcomers to the roster this season including Jordan Anderson, Makenzie Caufield, Madison Cock, Nicole Ford, Kristine Pataray, Olivia Payne, Genevieve Robertson, Gillian St. John, Alex Stein, Julienne Tadena and Darby Wayner. Robertson, hailing from Guelph, Ontario, will be swimming next to Colleou in the breast events. She currently has put up the fourth-fastest time in the Pac-12 in the 2:14.29 while Anderson has also exceled early in her career, ranking in the top 10 among Pac-12 swimmers in a few events. Men’s Team The Utah men’s swimming & diving team capped off its 2014-15 season by finishing 22nd and setting a school record for points at the NCAA Championships. After a successful year in the pool, All-American Bence Kiraly looks to add to his accolades. Last season, he placed 12th in the 500 free with a time of 4:13.83 at the NCAA Championships. He also recorded three new school records setting new marks in the 500 free (4:13.83), 1000 free (8:54.11) and 1650 free (14:41.86), which were all set at NCAA’s. On the diving side, All-American Jacob Crayne broke a 10-year record in the three-meter, scoring 438.95 points at the Pac-12 Championships. At Zones, he finished 13th on platform with a total score of 604.20 50 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL

points. Josiah Purss is coming back stronger than ever after suffering a season-ending injury last year. The Utes also bring back Kristian Kron, who recorded an NCAA B standard-time and Utah’s thirdfastest mark all-time in the 400 IM, also came away with Utah’s second-fastest mark in the 200 back. “I thought last season was another step in the right direction. We lost a big group of seniors, so we knew that was going to be tough to replace, but we

Schedule The Pac-12 brands itself as the “Conference of Champions” and it came through during the 2014-15 season with Cal capturing the women’s title and falling just short in its quest for a men’s crown. The Pac-12 has claimed three of the last five men’s titles and five of the last eight women’s titles. This season, the Pac-12 has three top 25 men’s programs and four on the women’s side at the beginning of November. The women’s Pac-12 Championship and the conference’s diving finals are set to take place Feb. 24-27 in Federal Way, Wash. The men’s Pac-12 Championship event will be at the same venue, March 2-5. NCAA Zone E Championships will be held March 7-9 and the NCAA Championships will be held in Atlanta, Ga. with the women competing March 17-19 and the men taking to the pool March 24-26.

Our students are the finest and each one’s a shining star, Our yell, you’ll hear it ringing through the mountains near and far! CHORUS Who am I, sir, A Utah Man/Fan am I! A Utah Man/Fan, sir, Will be ‘til I die. Ki-yi!

CHORUS (same) VERSE And when we prom the avenue, all lined up in a row, And arm in arm and step in time as down the street we go. No matter if a freshman green or in a senior’s gown, The people all admit we are the warmest gang in town. CHORUS (same)

VERSE We’re up to snuff, we never bluff, we’re game for any fuss. No rival band of college fans dare meet us in The MUSS. So fill your lungs and sing it out and shout it to the sky, We’ll fight for dear old crimson for a Utah Man/Fan am I!

VERSE We may not live forever on this jolly good sphere, But while we do we’ll live a life of merriment and cheer, And when our college days are o’er and night is drawing nigh, With parting breath we’ll sing that song: “A Utah Man/Fan Am I.” Go Utes!

ADMINISTRATION

Year at Utah: 29th 1987-present: Director of Athletics 1998-present: Special Assistant to the President

J

ust 37 years old when he was appointed as Utah’s director of athletics, Chris Hill, Ph.D., has led the school’s athletics programs to unprecedented success since his hiring in October of 1987. Now in his 29th year at Utah, he is the nation’s longest actively tenured athletics director at the same school in the NCAA FBS. Among Hill’s most monumental accomplishments was spearheading Utah’s invitation to join the Pac-12 Conference in the summer of 2010, a move preceded by the football team’s historic BCS appearances in the 2004 and 2008 seasons. Utah has won nine NCAA team championships during Hill’s tenure— five by the ski team and four by the gymnastics team—and has finished as the national runner-up 16 times. Those runner-up finishes include a No. 2 national ranking by the football team after its victory over Alabama in the 2009 Sugar Bowl, and by the 1998 men’s basketball team. He has hired three coaches who won National Coach of the Year honors at Utah: football coaches Urban Meyer (2004) and Kyle Whittingham (2008), and men’s basketball coach Rick Majerus (1998). Hill has served on several national boards, including the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee (200409), chair of the NCAA Championships/Competition Cabinet (1997-98) and the NCAA Management Council Administrative Committee. He was on NACDA’s executive committee from 2002-06. The football program, which had not played in a bowl in the 22 years immediately preceding Hill’s appointment as athletics director, is 12-4 in bowl games during his term. Utah’s other athletic programs have also thrived under his leadership. The men’s basketball team has played in 14 NCAA Tournaments—advancing to the Sweet 16 six times and the Elite Eight twice. In 1998, the Runnin’ Utes played Kentucky for the NCAA Championship. The women’s basketball team has 15 NCAA appearances, playing in the Sweet 16 twice and the Elite Eight in 2006, and was the 2013 WNIT runner-up. The gymnastics team has made 19 NCAA Super Six appearances while qualifying for the NCAA Championships all 28 years with Hill as AD—and the ski team has finished first or 58 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL

second in the nation 14 times under his watch. He has received a number of awards, including: 2011 National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Under Armour West Region Athletic Director of the Year, finalist for the 2011 Athletic Director of the Year by SportsBusiness Journal and SportsBusiness Daily, 2011 Utah YMCA Man of the Year, 2004 Mountain West Conference’s Commissioner’s Award, 1981 Milton Bennion Fellowship, 1984 Utah Recreation Therapy Association Outstanding Service award and 1996 Utah MS Sportsperson of the Year. The former Rutgers’basketball captain was inducted into the Jersey Shore Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2001, the National Consortium for Academics and Sports awarded him its Degree Completion and Outreach and Community Service Honor Award. The New Jersey native has served in five capacities at the U., starting in 1973-74 as a graduate assistant basketball coach on Bill Foster’s staff. After coaching boys’ basketball at Salt Lake’s Granger High from 1975-79 (he was the 1975 4A Coach of the Year), Hill returned to the U. as an assistant coach to Jerry Pimm (1979-81). From 1983-85, he taught in the University’s special education department before coming back to athletics as the Crimson Club director (1985-86). In 1987, he became the director of athletics. Hill was the executive director of United Cerebral Palsy of Utah from 1981-85, during which time he developed a housing project for people with severe physical disabilities. As an undergraduate, Hill won three letters in basketball at Rutgers and co-captained the 1971-72 team. His bachelor’s degree from Rutgers is in math education (1972). He holds a master’s in education (Utah, 1974), and a Ph.D. in educational administration (Utah, 1982). His wife Kathy, a faculty member in the U.’s Department of Special Education in severe disabilities, received the 2010 College of Education Service Award and the 2012 ASUU Student Choice Award for Excellence in Teaching. They have two children, Aly and Christopher; two granddaughters, Addie and Lily, and a grandson, Jack.
