2013 SEASON PREVIEW

2013 ALASKA ANCHORAGE CROSS COUNTRY

2

R

iding an unprecedented string of success into the 2013 season, the Alaska Anchorage men’s and women’s cross country teams will again be among the favorites in both the Great Northwest Athletic Conference and the NCAA West Region.

In his 24th year at the helm, head coach Michael Friess will sport an extremely experienced women’s squad that is ranked No. 7 in the national preseason poll, while the men’s team is No. 9 despite losing some key runners.

Having qualified his last five men’s and women’s teams for the NCAA Championships – including a combined eight top-10 results – Friess knows this year’s challenge will be to duplicate the depth that his Seawolves have displayed in past years.

“In general, both teams are a little thin,” said Friess, who lost 2012 NCAA men’s champion Micah Chelimo and three-time women’s All-American Miriam Kipng’eno. “We are going to need to be healthy and really focus on being at our best physically and mentally when it counts most – and that’s in November.”

On the women’s side, UAA’s anchor again should be reigning GNAC and NCAA West Region champion Susan Tanui. The Eldoret, Kenya, native went unbeaten a year ago until finishing a narrow runner-up at the NCAA Championships. She will be joined by fellow seniors Susan Bick (Anchorage/Bartlett HS) and Ivy O’Guinn (Soldotna/Skyview HS), and reigning GNAC Freshman-ofthe-Year Sarah Freistone (Anchorage/ Dimond HS), all of whom earned AllGNAC and All-Region honors last fall.

“Susan Tanui is certainly going to help us to be competitive up front,” said Friess. “Her abilities will help the core of the squad at big meets like regionals or nationals. Ivy O’Guinn and Susan Bick are also going to be very important for our goals of retuning to a top-10 national performance.”

Friess is looking to several other veterans – junior Bryn Haebe (Evergreen, Colo.), sophomore Jessica Pahkala (Wasilla) and senior Christi Schmitz (North Pole) – to boost their contributions, along with the squad’s lone newcomer, American International transfer Joyce Kipchumba.

“We are expecting big things out of

Senior Susan Tanui

Junior Dylan Anthony

Bryn, Christi and Jessica,” he said. “We need two out of those three to perform at their best for us to be able to accomplish our team goals.”

On the men’s side, Kodiak’s Dylan Anthony is the lone returning All-American from a 2012 squad that earned UAA’s firstever podium finish at NCAAs. The junior also claimed All-West Region and AllGNAC honors his first two seasons, as did classmate Isaac Kangogo (Eldoret, Kenya).

Yet another junior, Kevin Rooke (Toronto, Ontario), narrowly missed all-league and all-region finishes a year ago.

“We are going to need leadership out of Dylan Anthony, as well as Victor Samoei, Kevin Rooke and Isaac Kangogo,” Friess said. “We’ll need them to help us in order to return to the national meet, which will be a challenge.”

Senior Ivy O’Guinn

Junior Kevin Rooke

Samoei – who made his Seawolf debut on track last spring – will compete as a freshman in cross country, leading a fiveman rookie class.

The sophomore trio of Dominik Notz (Dettingen, Germany), Andrey Ionashku (Delta Junction) and Jesse Miller (Juneau) will also get a chance to prove themselves when UAA opens the season Aug. 31 and Sept. 7 with meets in Hawaii.

After nearly a month break from competition, UAA will compete at the Willamette (Ore.) Invitational on Oct. 5, followed by the GNAC Championships on Oct. 26 in Monmouth, Ore. The NCAA West Regionals – the lone qualifier for nationals – will be Nov. 9 in Spokane, Wash., with the NCAA Championships set for Nov. 23 on the same course.

O

ne of the nation’s most respected track & field mentors, Michael Friess is in his 24th season as head coach of the cross country and track & field programs at the University of Alaska Anchorage in 2013-14.

The Seawolves have been no stranger to the NCAA Championships under Friess’ guidance, having qualified a team for the NCAA Division II Cross Country Championships 16 times overall, including sending both the men’s and women’s squads in 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

In nine seasons of full institutional sponsorship, the Seawolf track & field teams have quickly left their mark on the Great Northwest Athletic Conference under Friess, earning four individual NCAA titles, 48 All-America awards, 70 FRIESS’ CROSS COUNTRY FILE individual conference titles, 119 all-conference honorees, and 14 league records.

Since 2010, Friess has swept both the men’s and women’s GNAC Coach of the Year honors. He earned his first West Region honor in the spring of 2009 for the men’s track & field team, before picking up his first women’s cross country honor in the fall of the same year.

Friess went on to sweep the West Region in 2010 and 2011, claiming both the men’s and women’s Coach of the Year accolades.

Athletes have excelled in the classroom as well under Friess, earning 165 academic all-conference accolades over the last 12 seasons and 64 all-academic honors since 2005-06. Both the men’s and women’s cross country teams have combined for 14 U.S. Track and Field/Cross Country Coaches Association All-Academic Team recognitions since 2005, while both track & field teams have made the All-Academic Team each year since 2009. Additionally, five student-athletes have been named Capital One/CoSida Academic All-Americans.

Friess graduated from Linfield (Ore.) College with a bachelor’s degree in exercise science in 1985 and was an NAIA All-American distance runner for the Wildcats. He earned a master’s degree in sport biomechanics from the University of Oregon in 1986.

A graduate of Anchorage’s Dimond High, Friess remains active in the local running community as a competitor, coach and organizer. Some of the events Friess organizes include the Mayor’s Marathon & Half-Marathon and the Crow Pass Crossing.

A USA Track & Field Level II coach, Friess is also a member of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and is certified by ACSM as an exercise test technologist and exercise specialist.

2013 ALASKA ANCHORAGE CROSS COUNTRY ith members in five states and the province of British Columbia, and with a strong presence in or near the largest city of each, the Great Northwest Athletic Conference has established itself as one of the top NCAA Division II athletic conferences in the nation during its 11-year history.

Founded in 2001, GNAC teams have had a remarkable 71 NCAA Division II top 10 national team finishes in 14 of the 16 sports it sponsors.

The 2012-13 academic year was another banner season for the league, highlighted by top-4 NCAA finishes for UAA’s men’s cross country team (3rd), Simon Fraser’s men’s soccer team, and Western Washington’s basketball squads.

Along with later additions Montana State Billings (2007) and Simon Fraser (2010), the GNAC is comprised of charter mem-

bers Alaska Anchorage, Alaska Fair¬banks, Central Washington, Northwest Nazarene, Saint Martin’s, Seattle Pacific, Western Oregon and Western Washington.

In the last six years, the GNAC has produced two national team titles (2009 SPU women’s soccer, 2012 WWU men’s basketball), three national runner-up finishes, six NCAA Final 4 basketball appearances (including three by UAA), and top-5 NCAA cross country placings by both SPU and UAA (both men and women’s squads).

UAA sponsors nine of the GNAC’s 14 sports – volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s indoor track & field, and men’s and women’s outdoor track & field.

2013 ALASKA ANCHORAGE CROSS COUNTRY Chancellor – University of Alaska Anchorage

T

om Case assumed the chancellorship of the University of Alaska Anchorage in May 2011.

A retired 3-star Air Force Lt. General, Case has spent more than 12 years in Alaska, including two Air Force tours of duty, five years as dean of UAA’s College of Business and Public Policy (CBPP), and three years as president and chief operating officer of a state-owned, independently operated Aerospace corporation.

The 1969 graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy began his 33-year military career flying in Vietnam. Later, he served at the Pentagon, was selected as the first Air Force Chief of Staff Chair on the faculty of the National War College, and eventually went on to command two fighter wings, a numbered air force and Alaskan Command. He also served as deputy commander and chief of staff for the nation’s two largest geographic joint combatant commands.

After retiring from the Air Force, Case returned to higher education as dean of CBPP at UAA. During his tenure, CBPP added several new certificate and degree programs, including a graduate certificate in Global Logistics, and played an instrumental role in the formation of CBPP’s Experimental Economics Laboratory.
