Season Preview

Great Expectations

Record-setting 2016 Sets Bar High for ’17 Two-time All-American Devin King returns for his junior year in 2017 after breaking the Southeastern Louisiana pole vault record six times as a sophomore. But King was far from being the only member of the Southeastern track and field program to raise the bar, both literally and figuratively, in 2016. The Lions men’s team placed 12th at the NCAA Division I Indoor Championships, its highest finish ever. The Lions went on to tie for 36th at the Outdoor Championships. Alex Young became the program’s first NCAA Division I national champion after capturing the weight throw at the Indoor Championships and was the Southland Conference’s Indoor Track & Field StudentAthlete of the Year. Long jumper Steven Barze joined King and Young as indoor All-Americans. King and thrower Jermisha Frazier earned All-American status for the outdoor season with Frazier becoming the first two-time All-

American in Lady Lion history. Southeastern had 11 All-Southland Conference selections during the outdoor season with five qualifying for the East Regionals and King and Frazier advancing to the NCAA Championships. The Lions and Lady Lions also had 11 members named Indoor All-Southland Conference with mid-distance runner Dontrell Lyons selected as the conference’s Newcomer of the Year. Both Barze and King were honored as National Players of the Week by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association following record-setting efforts. The Lions and Lady Lions rewrote the school’s record books during both campaigns, finishing with 13 indoor marks and four records during the outdoor season. “It legitimizes our program and for our new athletes coming in, it sets the bar pretty high,”

Southeastern head coach Sean Brady said of what the success of last year’s team means for the future. “A lot of times when you’re a small major program and you go to big competitions and you line up against guys from the SEC and Big 10 and Big 12, the guys and women don’t really feel like they belong sometimes. We’re past that now. It’s the evolution of our program, and because of what those people did last year, the expectations are just higher. The bar is set higher and the standards at which we expect to compete is higher.” While Southeastern loses a host of those standouts, including Frazier; All-Southland selections Jonathan Kinchen, Jimmy LeBlanc, Clarence Robinson and Sharron-Ann Ourso; and regional qualifier Nicole Delesdernier, Brady is optimistic his squads will achieve more great things in 2017. “We’re excited,” Brady said. “We graduated some good seniors last year, but for the most part, we have the majority of both teams back.

The Southeastern Louisiana men’s track and field team celebrates after finishing second at the 2016 Southland Conference Indoor Championships.

Season Preview

We’re going to miss Jermisha, for sure, and we’re going to miss some of the seniors we had last year that provided some great leadership for us, but I’m really excited about going into this season.” Southeastern has certainly gained attention nation-wide, with the men’s program ranked 23rd in the preseason USTFCCCA Men’s Indoor Track & Field National Team Computer Rankings. While standouts such as Young, senior sprinters Maverick Bowleg, Ashley Riley and Lyons and senior thrower Collin Rowland are red-shirting the indoor season to concentrate on a run to the outdoor conference title, a strong mix of newcomers and returnees is expected to help the Lions stay in the hunt during the indoor season as well. King and Barze, who will compete in the jumps as well as in sprints, are both back as are senior mid-distance runners Andre Colebrook and Julian Maze; senior jumper Rodney Ruffin; senior sprinters Deandre Henderson, Dantrayl Sanders and Dwayne Woodard; and senior distance runners Alex Holden and Harry Wiggins. Also returning in bigger roles are sophomore mid-distance runner Tajh Lewis; sophomore thrower Michael Seither; and junior pole vaulter Brandon Hollier. That group will be joined by a strong class of newcomers featuring freshman sprinter Martavius James, junior hurdler/sprinter Albert Martinez; freshman hurdler Justin Taylor and freshman pole vaulter Noel DelCerro.

Southeastern’s Alex Holden, Dwayne Woodard, Maverick Bowleg and Deandre Henderson “LionUp” after eclipsing the facility record in finishing third in the 4x400meter relay at the 2016 Southland Conference Outdoor Championships. The push in 2017 will be toward the outdoor conference championship. The heartbeat of the team may be the Lions’ record-setting 4x400-meter relay team of Lyons, Bowleg, Colebrook and Riley. Young returns after redshirting during the 2016 outdoor season and earning All-America status in the hammer throw in 2015. King is also expected to compete after placing third at the outdoor nationals and finishing with the top mark in the country in 2016, a schoolrecord 18 feet, 8.25 inches at the Texas Relays. Senior Gennard Paul, an All-SLC jumper who redshirted in 2016, returns but will join Young and Rowland in the throws. “Our goal is to get through the indoor season healthy and on the day (at the Southland Indoor Championships), be in the mix, be in the top four or five,” Brady said. “Our priority is going to be the outdoor conference and regionals and nationals. We think we have enough people in place on the men’s side that we can do some of things that we did indoors last season if we can have some people replicate their performances from last season. We want to win an outdoor championship, go into the regionals with people healthy and focused and try to be a top 25 team outdoors.” Brady said the women’s team may be as deep as it has been in recent years, especially in the sprints. Senior All-Southland selections Sharrona Williams and Katelynn Smith both return as do senior Lekesha Jelks and juniors Daijah Washington, an All-Conference selection in 2015, and Kaziah Rolle. Sprinters Dekayta Alex, Jaslyn Bowman and Aareion Jackson are coming off promising freshman seasons.

Tayla Celestine, Breanna Bias and Raven Davis are three more sophomores the Lady Lions are counting on in the jumps and hurdles. Joining them is freshman Ebony Hills. Junior Clarissa Smith, an All-Conference selection during the cross country season, headlines the distance group along with freshman Lill-Ann Hochkeppler. While Ourso is gone, seniors Whitney Adams and Addison Martinez are both back to lead the Lady Lions on the pole vault along with sophomores Sydney Bodie and Madison Mizell. Freshman Ashley Davis has had a promising start to her career in the throws as has junior Natalia Redondo. “Jermisha was a consistent multiple scorer for us for three years but now it’s an opportunity for somebody else to step up,” Brady said. “If they do that I feel comfortable that we will continue to improve and be better than we were last year.” The 2017 Southland Conference Indoor Championships are scheduled for Feb. 22-23 at the Birmingham CrossPlex in Birmingham, Ala. The NCAA Division I Indoor Championships will be at the Gilliam Indoor Track on the campus of Texas A&M in College Station, Texas from March 10-11. The Southland Outdoor Championships are slated for May 12-14 at Tad Gormley Stadium in New Orleans. The East Preliminaries are at the University of Kentucky Outdoor Track & Field Facility in Lexington, Kentucky May 2527. And the NCAA Outdoor Championship are set for Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon from June 7-10.

Academics

Lions Stress Excellence in Classroom The Southeastern track and field program has set high standards for its student-athletes, not only on the track but also in the classroom. Joseph Edwards, Jenna Hildebrand and Tony Miller were among 20 2016 Spring graduates to receive Southeastern’s highest academic honor, the President’s Medal for Academic Excellence. The 2016 squads compiled a grade point of average of 3.131 for the women and 2.616 for the men. Forty-one members (24 women, 17 men) were selected to the Southland Conference Commissioners 2016 Spring Honor Roll with senior thrower Alex Young earning conference All-Academic honors. Young also became the fourth Southeastern track and field student-athlete to be named a CoSIDA/GTE Academic All-American, joining Gabriella Dahlgren (1997), Nadia Lamb (1997) and Janice Ezegbunam (2004). Young was also honored as the Southland Conference Indoor Student-Athlete of the Year and was named to CoSIDA District 6 All-Academic first team. At the annual Southeastern Athletics Academic Banquet in April, Edwards was among three seniors who were honored for having the 4.0 cumulative GPA. Edwards, Hildebrand and Clarissa Smith were also among nine student-

athletes who were presented with “Athletic Scholar” black jackets for having a cumulative 4.0 GPA. Stephen Cassingham was one of two student-athletes to receive the the FeLions organization’s Sandy Goodwin Spirit Award, presented to an athlete for their work on the field, in the classroom and in the community. “The bar is set and the expectations are very high,” Southeastern head coach Sean Brady said. “I think the culture is now that we expect you to do well on the track and on the field, but also in the classroom.” Brady said those expectations begin from the time the student-athlete is recruited. “Hat’s off to (assistant coach) Corey Mistretta, who’s been on the recruiting trail, bringing in a different type of student-athlete,” Brady said. “We’re making a concerted effort to find those kids who are good academic students as well as good athletes. He and the rest of the staff have done an amazing job of going out and recruiting the people who are here for the right reasons, to compete as well as to get a degree and put in the work in the classroom as well as the track.”

Community Service

Community Service SLU Squads Provide Support to Local Area Whether it be making visits to area schools or serving on the Southeastern StudentAthlete Advisory Committee, members of the Southeastern cross country and track and field teams have been a visible presence in the community over the past year. Southeastern head coach Sean Brady said that presence benefits all parties involved. “The obvious beneficiary is the people in the community but it’s a bonding thing for our team and it’s an opportunity for our young men and women to give back and be visible and be seen in our community,” Brady said. “Most often, people only see them in uniform and in the field of play. When we do community service, there is so much more.” That was never more evident than in the aftermath of the flooding in the southeastern part of the state in August. Team members were quick to react to help move out damaged furniture and clean up homes while delivering supplies to those in need, “We had a unique opportunity with the flood this year to get in front of a lot of folks and really get down and do a lot of good work, a lot of dirty work that was needed,” Brady said. “I was really proud of the hours our kids put in and the work they put in this last semester helping people, and they did it with a smile and everyone benefited from that.” The squads’ work in the community is part of a league-wide emphasis one service to the

Southeastern community. “It will continue to be a part of our program and I know our athletic director (Jay Artigues)

has made it a point of emphasis he wants to see,” Brady said. “It’s a win-win for everybody.”

Clockwise from top left: The Southeastern men ‘s and women’s track and field and cross country teams joined in in helping the local area in the aftermath of the flooding this past August. Athletes helped move out damaged furniture and clean up home while also delivering supplies to those in need.

Track & Field Complex

Track & Field Complex A

fter many years in Strawberry Stadium, the Lion and Lady Lion track and field teams moved to a new facility in 2012. The new venue includes coachesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offices and team locker rooms that give each team some of the finest facilites in the Southland Conference. The Lions and Lady Lions hosted their first track meet in over a decade on April 20, 2012, when they welcomed in-state and Southland Conference teams for the Southeastern Lion Invitational. The facility hosted the Southland Conference Outdoor Championships in May, 2015.

FACILITY SPECIFICS The track is a brand new Beynon surface with encapsulated granules. There are four long jump pits running north-south, two shot put circles and impact areas, along with seating for 1200.

SUCCESS AT STRAWBERRY Prior to 2012, Southeastern track & field shared Strawberry Stadium with the Lion football program and it was home to several NAIA and NCAA Outdoor Champions in the mid-to-late 1970s. The historic facility was constructed in 1937 as part of Franklin D. Rooseveltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s WPA program under project #3014. Edward F. Neild, D.A. Sondal, and E.F. Neild, Jr. - Architects. The final track surface, removed when new artifical turf was installed after the 2011 football season, was identical to the surface used in Tad Gormley Stadium for the 1992 Olympic Trials in New Orleans, La.

NCAA infraction notice

On December 10, 2013, the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Committee on Infractions has accepted summary disposition of the infractions case originally self-reported by Southeastern Louisiana University almost one year ago, largely agreeing to the penalties self-imposed by the university. As a result of an extensive self-investigation, the university self-reported to the NCAA that 137 student-athletes competed without meeting eligibility requirements between the academic years of 2005-2006 through 2009-2010, with a majority of the violations occurring in 2005-2006 and 20062007. Most of the student-athletes failed to meet academic eligibility requirements to compete under NCAA rules. 86 percent of the student-athletes identified in the case went on to graduate from Southeastern or left the university in good academic standing. Athletics staff members responsible for academic advising and eligibility certification during the time of the violations are no longer associated with the university. No current student-athlete at Southeastern participated while ineligible. Southeastern self-imposed penalties include vacating victories in which ineligible student-athletes participated, scholarship reductions, and imposition of a two-year probationary period. The NCAA extended the probationary period to four years and ordered Southeastern to pay a financial penalty of $25,000. The probation terms do not include any postseason bans. Following identification of the infractions, Southeastern has implemented corrective actions that include the appointment of an assistant to the president for athletics compliance, the addition of a new compliance coordinator, the implementation of academic tracking software to strengthen the certification process and streamline monitoring, changes in the eligibility certification process to include oversight by institutional offices outside the Athletics Department, enhanced rules training of athletics coaches and staff, and implementation of new procedures to improve academic advising of student-athletes. “We are pleased to put resolution of this case behind us. These infractions occurred years ago, and current coaches, staff and administration are absolutely committed to ongoing compliance with all NCAA rules,” stated Athletics Director Jay Artigues. On April 9, 2015, The NCAA Committee on Infractions finalized an infractions case for violations stemming from June to July 2013. As a result of the case, Southeastern’s probation period has been extended for one year, ending on December 9, 2018. Southeastern self-repoted that a former volleyball coach had engaged in impermissible athletically-related activity and impermissible lodging and tryouts for prospective studentathletes. “Southeastern Louisiana University received final confirmation by the NCAA Infractions Committee that stemmed from self-reported violations related to recruiting and practice irregularities in the university’s women’s volleyball program during the spring and summer 2013,” Artigues said. “The university self-reported the five violations to the NCAA following a thorough internal investigation, which led to the resignation of the then-Head Volleyball Coach. Southeastern has accepted the penalties and corrective actions imposed by the NCAA. “Our athletics program is committed to complete compliance with all NCAA rules and legislation,” Artigues added. “Intentional disregard for this responsibility will be dealt with firmly and swiftly.”

Athletic Administration A

fter a successful eight-season stint as Southeastern Louisiana University’s head baseball coach, Jay Artigues was named the school’s Director of Athletics on October 14, 2013. Named one of the rising head coaches in the college game prior to the 2013 season,Artigues helped build a foundation of success for the Southeastern baseball program and now is doing the same for the entire athletic department. In his first year on the job, he presided over arguably the greatest athletic year in Southeastern history. The Lions and Lady Lions brought home five conference championships, the most the school has ever won in a single year. The Lion football program ran through the Southland Conference with an undefeated record, advanced to the FCS playoffs for the first time, picked up the first playoff win in school history and finished the season with an 11-3 overall record. Lady Lion Soccer won the Southland Conference Tournament and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in school history. The Southeastern men’s track & field program won both the indoor and outdoor Southland Conference titles, marking the first time in school history the Lions had swept through the conference. Lion Baseball continued its run of success, rallying under the leadership of Artigues protege Matt Riser to win the Southland Conference Tournament and advance to an NCAA Regional for the first time in 20 years. Under Artigues, Lion baseball established itself as a growing force in the region by producing three All-Americans, four Freshman All-Americans, a Capital One Academic All-American, the NCBWA National Stopper of theYear, the Southland Conference’s Player, Hitter, Relief Pitcher and Freshman of theYear, numerous All-Conference and Southland All-Academic players as well as Southeastern single-season and career record holders. In 2012, Southeastern racked up several national,

regional and conference awards. Advancing to the championship game of the Southland Conference Tournament, the Lions posted a 39-21 record and equaled their best conference finish (20-13, second overall). Leading the way were conference player and hitter of the year Brock Hebert, relief pitcher of the year Stefan Lopez and freshman of the year Andro Cutura. Lopez was named the 2012 National Stopper of the Year by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association after establishing both Southeastern and the Southland’s single-season and career saves records, while he and Hebert each earned four All-America honors. Cutura, who won his final six decisions, was also named a Freshman All-American. Former Lion Wade Miley, a 2009 first-round pick of Arizona, represented the Diamondbacks in the 2012 Major League Baseball All-Star Game and was a finalist for the National League Rookie of theYear Award. He was honored by the Sporting News as their Rookie of theYear for the National League. In 2011, the Lions garnered national attention as they took two of three games from Florida International to open the season and ended Garrett Wittels attempt to break the Division I consecutive-game hit-streak record. The next weekend Southeastern earned wins over SEC-power Alabama, Central Florida and South Alabama. Artigues was named the LSWA Co-Coach of the Year in 2010 as the Lions set another school first after being nationally ranked at the Division I level. The Lions were nationally ranked for eight straight weeks, reaching as high as No. 17. Prior to becoming the 15th head baseball coach in Southeastern’s history,Artigues spent four seasons at Pearl River Community College where he posted a 168-51 record. The Wildcats won three conference championships and advanced to the JUCO World Series during his tenure. In his final season at PRCC,Artigues led the Wildcats to a school-record 46-12 mark and a No. 1 ranking in the final JUCO national regular-season poll.

In his first season at PRCC,Artigues led the Wildcats to 42 wins and a berth in the JUCO World Series in Millington,Tenn. PRCC finished the year as the South Division Conference Champions, Region XXIII Champions and Central District Champions with Artigues earning Region XXIII and Central District Coach of theYear honors. Before returning to Pearl River in 2001, where he was a two-year letter winner and was a first team All-State and All-Region selection,Artigues spent three seasons at Bossier Parish Community College and posted a 107-57 record. In his final season at BPCC,Artigues led the Cavaliers to a school-record 46 wins and a No. 8 ranking in the final NJCAA poll. Artigues began his coaching career in 1992-93 as an assistant at Spring Hill College where he worked with the team’s hitters and infielders. He served as Dean of Students and head baseball coach at St. Louis Catholic High School in Lake Charles, La., where he led the Saints to the Class 2A state quarterfinals in 1996. Artigues moved to Hammond in 1996 and served as athletic director and head baseball coach at St. Thomas Aquinas High School, leading the Falcons to the 1997 state playoffs. He then moved on to the college ranks accepting a job at UNO where he was a volunteer assistant coach in 1998 under Tom Schwaner. As a player,Artigues spent two seasons at PRCC where he was an All-State and All-Region selection. He then went on to play two seasons at Belhaven College where he was an All-Conference selection as a second baseman. A native of Bay St. Louis, Miss., he holds the highest single-season on-base percentage (.538) and sixth-highest career batting average (.375) in Belhaven history. A 1992 graduate of Belhaven, where he earned a B.S. in Business Administration,Artigues also holds a Master’s Degree in Sport Coaching from the United States Sports Academy (1993).
