The second is retain our student-athletes. It is not always how many student-athletes you bring to campus, it is how many student-athletes you have retained. Thirdly, we look to develop our players mentally and physically, and create a great feeling of team. “Finally, Loth said, “we try to organize our program and prepare our players to ensure we accomplish our goals of recruiting, retaining and developing our players.” Loth began his football career as a graduate assistant at Southern Methodist University (1991-93).

The Ohio Athletic Conference Commissioner: Timothy W. Gleason Information Dir.: Lindsay Rickel
The 2007-08 year proved, once again, why the OAC is one of the most prestigious Division III conferences in the country. The Mount Union football team advanced to their 11th Stagg Bowl, while Capital advanced to the NCAA Playoffs for the third consecutive time. The Ohio North ern volleyball team team made its eighth straight NCAA III Tournament appearance and the program recorded its NCAA-record 31st straight winning season. The Heidelberg volleyball team reached the NCAA Regional Semifinals following an appearance in the OAC Tournament Finals. The Muskingum softball team advanced to the Division III World Series for the eighth time. The National Fastpitch Coaches Association announced the induction of Muskingum Head Coach Donna Newberry into the NFCA Hall of Fame in December 2008. Newberry is the alltime winningest softball coach in NCAA Division III. Heidelberg wrestling sent five to the NCAA Division III National Tournament and placed two. Ohio Northern Head Coach Ron Beaschler was inducted into the National Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame. The Otterbein womens golf team placed fifth at the NCAA Tourna ment, while the Mount Union men placed 12th. Individually, the Con ference was represented by 64 All-Americans and two national titles in track and field. Mount Unions Dan Gund won the outdoor shot put title and Heidelberg’s Judy Bataille claimed the indoor 55-meter dash title. Academically, the OAC boasted numerous CoSIDA ESPN the Maga zine Academic All-Americans, along with regional and national coach ing honors.

sociation (1888) and the Big Ten (1895). The Conference is older than the World Series and even the NCAA itself and has survived two world wars, the Great Depression, the Korean War and the Vietnam Conflict. From a modest beginning of six charter members in 1902, the OAC grew to as many as 24 members in the mid-1920s. Through the years a total of 31 colleges and universities at one time or another have been members of the OAC. Currently the Conference con sists of 10 members, including Baldwin-Wallace College, Capital Univer sity, Heidelberg College, John Carroll University, Marietta College, Mount Union College, Muskingum College, Ohio Northern University, Otterbein College and Wilmington College. Wilmington became the 31st OAC member school, on July 1, 2000. In the OACs first year of existence, 1902, the first Conference cham pion was crowned Case Tech won the football title with a 5-0-0 record. Outdoor track was added a year later and a third sport, cross country, became a Conference sport in 1914. More sports were steadily added to the OAC s repertoire throughout the years, culminating in the addition of women s sports in 1984. The Conference currentiy sponsors champi onships in 21 sports, 11 men's and 10 women's. The enrollments at the 10 OAC institutions range from 1,200 to 4,500. All of the schools were founded in the 19th century and have long and outstanding academic reputations. W^ile maintaining these high academic standards, Ohio Athletic Conference athletic teams and athletes have consistendy enjoyed a great deal of success on a regional and national level. The atldetic competition IS viewed not as an end in itself, but as an extension of the educational programs.
