DIRECTOR OF TRACK AND FIELD AMY
DEEM Director of Track Amy Deem, who has been the Hurricanes head women's track and field coach for the past 18 years, became just the sixth woman to be in charge of both the men's and women's track and cross country programs at a Division I school, when she was promoted by Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt on July 22, 2008. She replaced Mike Ward who retired as the head coach of the men's track and cross country teams. Deem, elected to the UM Sports Hall of Fame in 2006, has been responsible for building the women's track and field program from very modest beginnings into an NCAA powerhouse. Prior to her being named head coach in 1990, the Hurricanes had never had an athlete record an NCAA qualifying mark. Since then, Deem has guided 39 studentathletes to a combined 135 All-America honors and 11 national championships. The 2010 season will feature a deep and talented squad - as Tameka and Takecia Jameson, Kristy Whyte and Ti’erra Brown all have either national or world championship experience. The 2009 track season brought a total of six individual All-America honors and an indoor national title. Sprinter Murielle Ahoure came to Miami for her senior season to train under Deem and rewarded greatly for her decision. Under Deem, Ahoure raced to the Indoor 200-meter National Championships and earned All-America honors in the indoor 60-meter dash and the outdoor 100 and 200meter dashes. In addition, Ahoure broke UM legend, Lauryn Williams’ indoor 60-meter dash record, was a four-time ACC Champion and earned the ACC’s Indoor Track Performer of the Year Award. As in years past, the Hurricanes hurdlers had a stellar season under Deem’s direction. Sophomores Takecia Jameson and Ti’erra Brown advanced to the finals of the 400-meter hurdles, with Brown crossing the finish line as the national runner-up. In her first season at the helm of the men’s program in 2009, Deem saw Mikese Morse claim All-American status in the indoor long jump with his fifth-place finish at the national championships. Also, junior Cory Nelms (indoor 60-meter hurdles) was the first male track athlete to claim an ACC Title that wasn’t named Tim Harris since Lance Leggett in the 400-meter hurdles in 2006. In 2008, Deem saw Krista Simkins win a NCAA National Title in the indoor 400-meters. Also, during the indoor season, Viktoria Andonova took home All-American honors as she tied for ninth in the high jump at the Indoor NCAA National Championships. During the outdoor season, freshmen hurdlers, Takecia Jameson and Ti’erra Brown finished third and eighth respectively to earn All-American accolades in the 400-meter hurdles. In July of 2008, Jameson ran for the United States in the Junior World Championships in Poland, where she claimed two world titles, in the 400-meter hurdles and the 4x100-relay. The Hurricanes have had at least one student-athlete earn All-America honors in each of the last 16 seasons and are perennial contenders for conference championships and top-10 national finishes. In Miami's first two seasons in the ACC (2004-05 and 2005-06), Deem led the Hurricanes to consecutive indoor and outdoor conference titles. In addition, she was honored as the league's indoor and outdoor
Coach of the Year both seasons. Miami finished tied for fifth at the 2006 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships marking the program's second consecutive top five finish while the team placed seventh at the NCAA Outdoor Championships marking the highest outdoor finish in school history. The 2005 season saw Miami reach unprecedented heights. The Hurricanes finished a program-best third at the 2005 NCAA Indoor Championships, which included a schoolrecord 12 All-America honors. Miami finished ninth at the 2005 NCAA Outdoor Championships, also the highest finish at the time in school history, notching another 14 All-America honors. The Hurricanes placed second at the 2005 NCAA East Regional Championships marking the highest finish and most points scored (81) in the program's history. In 2004, the Hurricanes concluded their final season of BIG EAST competition by posting one of the best seasons in school history. Miami recorded 17 All-America honors, won both the BIG EAST Indoor and Outdoor Championships for the second consecutive season, including the school's sixth BIG EAST Outdoor Championship, and placed 10th at both the NCAA Indoor Championships and NCAA Outdoor Championships. That season, Miami recorded 12 All-America honors at the NCAA Outdoor Championships including Lauryn Williams' NCAA National Championship in the 100-meters. Williams posted a winning time of 10.97 seconds, the fifth-fastest time in NCAA history. In three seasons under Deem, Williams developed into one the top sprinters in the world. For most of 2004, Williams had the top time in the world in both the 100meter and 200-meters. She went on to win a silver medal in the 100-meters at the Olympic Games in Athens, and at just 20 years of age became the youngest sprinter in 32 years to medal in the event. Williams competed in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and continues to train under Deem. In 2005 Williams captured the gold medal in the 100meters and also anchored the USA 4x100-meter relay to the gold medal at the IAAF World Championships in Helsinki, Finland.

ASSISTANT COACHES CALVIN
ROBINSON Associate Head Coach Entering his second season as Miami’s jumps and multi-events coach, Calvin Robinson looks to continue the tradition of excellence and return the jumps program to national prominence. In his first season at Miami, Robinson guided Deandra Doyley and Brittni Finch to second and third place showings at the ACC Outdoor Championships in the long jump, respectively. Doyley also went on to compete in the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the event. Robinson also saw Mikese Morse break the school record in the men’s indoorlong jump, with a mark of 7.90m (25-11.00). Also under Robinson, Megan Novinger moved into the Miami’s all-time top-five list in both the indoor and outdoor high jumps, while scoring in each ACC Championship. Multi athletes Britney Clarke and Diego Rosado both scored in the outdoor heptathlon and decathlon respectively. Clarke
also moved into UM’s top-five with her ACC performance. Coming to Coral Gables following a four-year stint at UTEP, Robinson hopes to bring the same success that garnered him the respect of his peers and led to one of his former student-athletes, Blessing Okagbare bringing home a bronze medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. While at UTEP, Robinson’s athletes amassed a total of 16 All-American honors and 25 individual conference championships during his brief tenure, highlighted by high jumper Mickael Hanany. Hanany was the 2008 NCAA High Jump National Champion, as well as a seven-time All-American with 17 individual conference championships across three disciplines (HJ, LJ, and TJ). Hanany would not be the only athlete to garner national recognition as 2008 would prove to be a banner year for Robinson and his athletes. With the aid of Robinson, Okagbare would rewrite the UTEP record books, finishing second in the long jump and fourth in the triple jump at the NCAA Championships during the indoor season and second in the triple jump and third in the long jump at NCAA Outdoor Championships. This would only be the tip of the ice berg as she would go on to win the Bronze medal at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, with a personal best jump of 6.91 (22-8) For his accomplishment, Robinson was recognized as the Mountain Region Indoor Assistant Coach of Year in 2008.
Other athletes to have success in 2008 include Nelly Tchayem, a three-time All-American in the triple jump. She would team up with Okagbare in helping the jumpers score 20 of the teams 25 team points in route to the schools’ first ever top ten finish at the NCAA Championships in Des Moines, Iowa. This combination turned out to be the top duo in the country as UTEP would be the only university with two female triple jumpers breaking the 45-foot barrier. Prior to UTEP, Robinson was the jumps coach at his alma mater, Sam Houston State, for four years. Under his guidance, Precious Madison became the school's first Division I All-American, in the long jump in 2001. A 2000 graduate of Sam Houston State, Robinson completed his master's degree at the school in 2004 in kinesiology. Robinson holds Level I and Level II (sprints/hurdles) certification from the United States of American Track and Field Association. While a student-athlete, he was an NCAA qualifier in the long jump in 1998 and All-Southland Conference in both the long and triple jumps in 1998 and 1999. He holds the SHSU school record in the long jump with a best of 25-5 1/2 (7.76) and ranks in the school's top 10 in the triple jump (508/15.44). He was also a three-year starter on the football team. Robinson is the father of eight twin sons, Kendall and Kamron. He and his wife reside in Miami.

ASSISTANT COACHES CHEREE
HICKS Assistant Coach Throws Now in her fifth season as the Hurricanes’ throws coach, Chereé Hicks continues to build the UM throws program into one of the nation’s elite. Hicks has coached an athlete to the NCAA National Championships in three of her previous four years at Miami as her athletes have set multiple school records while earning countless all-conference awards in just her first three seasons. Coming off of a standout 2008 season, the Miami throws program, led by senior All-American Khadija Talley, took a giant step in that direction. Under Hicks’ tutelage, Talley’s senior campaign would bring many accolades, including the first discus All-American honor in UM’s storied history, a second place finish in the shot put at the NCAA East Regional championships as well as an ACC record and championship title in the discus. Talley would cap off the season by earning the Southeast Regional Field Event Athlete of Year Award as voted on by the coaches before finishing her Miami career at

the Olympic Trials, competing in both the shot and discus. Hicks would have three athletes qualify for NCAA Regionals across four disciplines in 2008, including Talley (shot put, discus, hammer), freshman Miranda Wilson (discus), Misti Barber (shot put) and Kaitlin Nazario (javelin). In 2007, Hicks saw continued improvement in Talley as the junior cracked Miami’s top five list in four events, two indoor (shot put, weight throw) and two outdoor (shot put, hammer throw). En route to winning ACC titles in the indoor weight throw as well as outdoor discus, Talley went on to qualify for both the Indoor and Outdoor NCAA Championships in the weight throw and discus respectively. In her debut season as a Hurricane, Misti Barber qualify for the NCAA regionals in the shot put under Hicks’ direction after she transferred to UM in the fall semester. In her first season, Hicks guided Miami throwers and multi-event athletes to six All-ACC honors, including Talley who earned indoor all-conference honors in the shot put and outdoor recognition in the discus. She also mentored Amy Seward to All-ACC honors in the pentathlon and heptathlon, and guided two athletes –Talley (discus) and Nazario (javelin) – to school record-breaking performances. In addition to their success at the conference level, three of Hicks’ throwers qualified for the NCAA East Regional Championships including Talley (discus), Akera Lathan (shot put) and Nazario (javelin), with Lathan advancing to the NCAA Outdoor Championships in her respective event. Hicks joined the Hurricanes in 2005 after spending three seasons at Syracuse University, where she coached her stu-
dent-athletes to eight individual Big East Championships, 17 Big East All-Conference honors and five school-records. Hicks was instrumental in the development of Johvonne Hernandez, who in 2004 set a Big East record and earned All-America honors in the hammer throw, and captured the NCAA East Regional title in the discus. Prior to her stint at Syracuse, Hicks was an assistant coach at Portland State University during the 2002 season. Hicks, who holds a USATF Level II certification in throws and jumps, earned All-American honors in the discus, as well as the indoor and outdoor shot put while competing for Syracuse in 1999 and 2000. During the 2000 season, she finished second in the shot put at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships, and was runner-up in both the shot put and discus at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. That season, she set a Big East Indoor Championship record in the shot put and Big East Outdoor Championship records in both the shot put and discus. In addition, she placed fifth in the shot put at the 2000 U.S. Olympic Trials. Hicks earned her Bachelor of Science degree in public relations from Syracuse in 2000 and ended her Syracuse career as the school-record holder in both the indoor and outdoor shot put and in the discus. Hicks, a member of the 1997 USA Junior National team, competed her freshman season at California State Northridge where she garnered Academic All-American recognition as well as earning AllAmerican honors in the discus.

“ON THE FAST TRACK”
University of Miami football players have proven themselves as forces to be reckoned with in track and field. Since joining the BIG EAST in 1992, UM gridders have won 32 conference titles and hold 15 school records. Hurricane football players have asserted dominance in track since Bennie Blades set the UM indoor record in the 300 meters in 1985. UM’s first football/track superstar was AllAmerican receiver Horace Copeland, the 1992 BIG EAST Most Outstanding Performer after winning the long jump, 100-meters, and 4x100-meter relay at the BIG EAST meet. He went on to become the first UM track athlete to earn AllAmerica honors. All-American wide receiver Santana Moss became the second Hurricane to be named BIG EAST Most Outstanding Field Performer after winning both the long jump and the triple jump at the 2000 BIG EAST Outdoor meet. Also in 2000, Aaron Moser won his third consecutive BIG EAST decathlon title and went on to become the second Miami football player to earn All-America honors in track and field. Former Hurricane receiver Daryl Jones is the most decorated crossover athlete in Hurricane history. In 2000, Jones ran the third leg of the conference champion 4x100-meter relay, giving him a total of five BIG EAST titles for his career the most of any UM football player. Jones won the 100-meter title in 1999 and 2000, and the 55 meters at the 1998 Indoor meet. In addition to the 2001 BIG EAST 4x100-meter relay title, Jones ran the anchor leg of the 1999 champion 4x100 relay. In 2002 All-American wide receiver Andre Johnson, the 2002 Rose Bowl co-MVP, won the BIG EAST 60-meter sprint title during the indoor track season as well as the BIG EAST 100-meter championship during the outdoor season. In 2003 defensive back Terrell Walden became the second straight Hurricane to sweep the BIG EAST 60-meter indoor title and 100meter outdoor championship. In addition, the football foursome of Roscoe Parrish, Walden, Kelly Jennings and Tanard Davis won the BIG EAST 4x100-meter relay title. In 2004 Davis captured the BIG EAST Indoor 60-meter title while defensive back Devin Hester won the indoor long jump. In 2006 wide receiver Lance Leggett won his first ACC title winning the 400-hurdles. This season, five members of the Hurricane football team are listed on the UM men’s track and field roster:
Now a star receiver in the NFL, Andre Johnson won BIG EAST dash titles during his UM days.
2004 BIG EAST indoor long jump champion wide receiver Devin Hester.
Baltimore Ravens All-Pro safety Ed Reed is the school record holder in the javelin.
Wide receiver and kick returner Santana Moss was a four-time BIG EAST champion and the 2000 BIG EAST Most Outstanding Field Performer.

While attending college, she played tennis and still plays a competitive game of doubles. She also enjoys golf, skiing, and other outdoor activities. Recognizing that first-rate facilities are a key part of achieving success on the field, last year Hurricanes football embarked in an exciting new chapter with the move to Land Shark Stadium. This state-of-the-art complex offers both players and fans world-class amenities that are unparalleled in college sports. In 1987 President Shalala, a distinguished political scientist, became chancellor of a Big Ten university, the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She led what was then the nation’s largest public research university. In 1992, Business Week magazine named her one of the top five managers in higher education, and in 2005 was named one of “America’s Best Leaders” by U.S. News & World Report and the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. President Shalala’s success at Wisconsin was reflected in athletics as well. She hired a new football coach, recruiting Barry Alvarez from Notre Dame. Four years later, Wisconsin won the Big Ten football championship and represented its conference in the Rose Bowl for the first time in 30 years. President Shalala served on the first Knight Commission, a committee to review college athletics, and has served on the board of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Foundation. In May 2008, she was selected as an Independent Director of the U.S. Soccer Federation. In 1993, she was named U.S. Secretary for Health and Human Services (HHS) and served for eight years, becoming the nation’s longest-serving HHS Secretary. In 2000, she led the official U.S. delegation to the Olympics in Sydney, Australia. At the end of her tenure as HHS Secretary, The Washington Post described her as “one of the most successful government managers of modern times.”

As leader of the University of Miami, President Shalala presides over one of the most successful college athletic programs in the country. The Hurricanes football program has consistently ranked in the top of the polls. In 2001, the baseball team won its fourth College World Series and the football team won its fifth national championship. In 2003, the men and women’s basketball teams began playing in a new, on-campus facility, the BankUnited Center. Other Hurricanes sports, from tennis to track, have also earned national recognition. UM celebrated the opening of the newly renovated Mark Light Stadium at Alex Rodriguez Park and a new basketball training and practice complex in 2009. The Black Coaches Association honored her with its Image of Excellence Award for 2007. As to her commitment to UM athletics, President Shalala said, “College sports are a vital part of our students’ experience while at the University. They also help build community and instill a great sense of pride in our athletes and their accomplishments. The young men and women who play Hurricanes sports are devoted to their game both on a personal and team level, and it shows in their inspired performances time after time. Now it’s up to the fans to show their support and cheer them on to many more victories.” For a sports fan like President Shalala, there is no better place to call home than the University of Miami.

ADMINISTRATION Hocutt and Randy Shannon at the Orange Bowl Committee’s 7th Annual Blue Cross Blue Shield Benefit.
Hocutt led Oklahoma’s athletics fundraising to an all-time high in annual giving and capital campaigns. From 1998 to 2005, Oklahoma’s annual giving increased from $3.4 million to more than $17 million. That 400 percent increase in annual giving was one of the highest percentage increases in intercollegiate athletics history.
DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS KIRBY HOCUTT Kirby Hocutt is in his second year as the Director of Athletics at the University of Miami. Introduced as UM’s Director of Athletics on Feb. 8, 2008, Hocutt began his tenure as the university’s 11th Director of Athletics on June 1, 2008.

Hocutt, 37, came to Miami after serving as the athletic director at Ohio University since 2005. Prior to that, he spent six years at the University of Oklahoma serving as associate athletic director for external operations and sports administration. In his first year in Coral Gables, Hocutt established a master plan for major facilities improvements in addition to initiating the development of a strategic plan for the University of Miami athletic department. He oversaw a number of facility improvements in his initial year, including the construction of a basketball practice facility, as well as upgrades to Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field, the Neil Schiff Tennis Center and Cobb Stadium. For the first time in nine years, a new Ring of Honor class was inducted under Hocutt’s direction, as Edgerrin James, Jim Kelly, Cortez Kennedy, Jim Otto and Gino Torretta were added to the prestigious class of UM football greats. Two UM head coaches – Paige Yaroshuk-Tews (Women’s Tennis) and Nicole Lantagne Welch (Volleyball) – earned Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year honors in Hocutt’s first year at Miami, while UM student-athletes earned 15 All-America honors during the 2008-09 season. The women’s tennis team also became the first women’s program at UM to win an ACC title, claiming the regular season championship after going 25-4 overall and 10-1 in league play. A former star linebacker at Kansas State, Hocutt has a total of 18 years experience in intercollegiate athletics, including five as a student-athlete. At Ohio, Hocutt significantly reorganized the athletic department’s annual giving program. His leadership led to an increase in fundraising by more than 75 percent - including the securing of the second-largest major gift in school athletics history. He also increased season ticket sales in football by 112 percent and in men’s basketball by 50 percent. In his three years at Ohio, the school won 11 team championships and four head coaches were recognized as conference Coaches of the Year. In 2006, the football team played in its first bowl game in 38 years.
Beginning in 1999, Hocutt served in a leadership position in the strategic planning for a $100 million capital campaign. The $120 million campaign was unique in that it focused on facility construction or improvements for each of Oklahoma’s 20 sports. Prior to joining the Oklahoma staff, Hocutt served as the assistant director of licensing at the NCAA. In that position, he worked with corporate partners and licensees to create new revenue producing initiatives to support and promote all 81 NCAA championships. He began his career in sports administration as the assistant director of marketing and promotions at Kansas State University. While at Kansas State, he implemented revenue-producing activities for the athletics department, including corporate partner sponsorships and ticket sales. Hocutt was a four-year letterman at linebacker at KSU, leading the Big 8 Conference in tackles and earning All-Big 8 Conference team honors as a junior. In 1993, The Sporting News selected him as one of the top 20 underrated players in the nation. Hocutt also served as a team captain his senior season. Two of Hocutt’s coaches at Kansas State were Bob Stoops, head football coach at Oklahoma and Jim Leavitt, the head football coach at USF.
Brooks, Diane, Drew and Kirby Hocutt
At Oklahoma, Hocutt was the primary administrator for football and the sport supervisor for baseball, men’s and women’s golf, and men’s and women’s tennis. His duties included supervision of the athletics development office, athletics ticket office, special events, stadium suite program, athletics endowment program, letter winners association and the department’s facility use and rental program.
A member of the Orange Bowl Committee, Hocutt was also named to the MiamiDade Sports Commission Board of Directors on Oct. 1, 2008.
He earned his bachelor’s degree from Kansas State University in 1995 and his master’s of education degree from the University of Oklahoma in 2001. He and his wife Diane have two sons, 7-year-old Drew and 5-year-old Brooks.

COMPLIANCE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE (PROSPECT)? You are a prospect if you have started classes for the ninth grade. Before the ninth grade, you may become a prospect if a university provides you (or your family or friends) any financial aid or other benefit that is not usually provided to prospective student-athletes. YOU ARE NO LONGER A PROSPECT IF YOU HAVE DONE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: (1) Officially register and enroll in a minimum full-time program of studies and have attended classes in any four-year collegiate institution’s regular academic year (excluding summer); or (2) Participated in a regular squad practice or competition at a four-year collegiate institution that occurs before the beginning of any term; or (3) Officially register and enrolled and attend classes during the summer prior to initial enrollment and receive institutional athletics aid. HOW DO I KNOW IF I’M BEING RECRUITED? A coach is recruiting you if they try to convince you directly, or through your family, to attend their school and participate in intercollegiate athletics. There are several ways to be recruited: (1) a coach may provide you with an official paid visit to view the campus, (2) a coach may arrange an in-person, off-campus meeting with you (or your family), or (3) a coach or staff member may call you (or your family) on more than one occasion for the purpose of recruitment. Coaches and authorized institutional staff members are the only individuals who may recruit you. Representatives of athletic interests (boosters) may not call, write or make in-person contact with you anywhere for the purpose of recruiting you to a university and participating in athletics. WHEN CAN A COACH CONTACT ME? OFF CAMPUS CONTACT In the sport of basketball, a coach can arrange a face-to-face meeting with you, off the University’s campus, beginning the first day of classes of your senior year. In all other sports, a coach can arrange a face-to-face meeting with you, off the University’s campus, beginning July 1 after your junior year. TELEPHONE CALLS In all sports other than football and basketball, a coach may call a prospect one time per week after July 1 following the completion of the prospect’s junior year in high school. In the sport of football, a coach may initiate one telephone call to a prospect between April 15th and May 31st of the prospect’s junior year. Additional calls are not permitted prior to September 1st of the beginning of the prospect’s senior year in high school. In the sport of men’s basketball, coaches may make one telephone call per month from June 15 of the prospect’s sophomore year through July 31 of the junior year. Beginning August 1 of the senior year a coach may make two telephone calls per week. Only one call per week may be made to a two-year or four-year college prospect. In the sport of women’s basketball, coaches may make one telephone call per month during the months of April (on or after the Thursday after the conclusion of the NCAA Division I Final Four) and May of the prospect’s junior year in high school, one telephone call between June 1 and June 20 and one telephone call between June 21 and June 30 of the prospect’s junior year in high school. Three telephone calls to a prospect are permitted during the month of July, with no more than one call per week. In the following circumstances unlimited calls to a prospect are permitted: (1) during the five days immediately preceding an official visit to the University of Miami, (2) on the initial date for signing the National Letter of Intent and the two days following the signing date, and (3) on the day of a coach’s off-campus contact with a prospect For all sports, coaches may receive telephone calls placed by a prospect at the prospect’s expense at anytime, including before July 1 following the prospect’s junior year in high school. LETTERS In sports other than men’s basketball, letters and recruiting information may be sent to you starting September 1 at the beginning of your junior year in high school. In men’s basketball, recruiting materials may be provided starting June 15 at the conclusion of the prospect’s sophomore year.
WHAT IS A CONTACT? A contact is any face-to-face encounter between a prospect or the prospect’s parent(s) or legal guardian and an institutional staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs in excess of an exchange of a greeting. NOTE: At the Division I level, athletic representatives (boosters) may not contact you for the purpose of recruiting. WHAT CAN A SCHOOL OFFER ME TO ATTEND THEIR UNIVERSITY? You (or your family) may not receive any benefit, inducement or arrangements such as cash, clothing, cars, gifts or loans to encourage you to sign a National Letter of Intent or to attend a NCAA school. A University may offer you a one-year scholarship that covers room and board, tuition and fees, and required course-related books, or any part of these. The institution can recommend that this aid is renewed each year, as is the general practice at the University of Miami but this renewal is not guaranteed. In addition, they can offer you quality academic and medical support, as well as the opportunity to compete for one of the nation’s top programs. WHAT CAN I DO DURING THIS PROCESS? Enjoy your high school years and work hard both in the classroom and in your sport. At the beginning of your junior year you should sign up for the NCAA Clearinghouse. Your high school guidance office can provide you with the information to register. A DIVISION I INSTITUTION MAY PROVIDE A RECRUIT WITH THE FOLLOWING PRINTED MATERIALS: • General correspondence, including letters, U.S. Postal Service postcards and institutional note cards; • Game programs, which may not include posters, and one StudentAthlete Handbook; • NCAA educational information; • Pre-enrollment information subsequent to signing a National Letter of Intent with the university; • One athletic publication (e.g., media guide or recruiting brochure); • Official academic, admissions and student services publications published or videos produced by the institution and available to all students; • Schedule and business cards; • Questionnaires which may be provided prior to your junior year; and Camp brochures which may be provided prior to your junior year.

ACC “TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE” Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. However, in today’s intercollegiate athletics, competition has become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of consistency. Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Now in its 56th year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it. Since the league’s inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured 109 national championships, including 57 in women’s competition and 52 in men’s. In addition, NCAA individual titles have gone to ACC student-athletes 145 times in men’s competition and 92 times in women’s action. If success is best measured in terms of wins and losses, then the ACC is unrivaled in NCAA annals. With North Carolina’s victory over Illinois in the 2005 NCAA title game, ACC teams have captured 10 NCAA basketball championships, including six over the last 18 years. No conference has posted a better NCAA Tournament record than the ACC since the NCAA’s inaugural tournament in 1939. With an impressive 85-43 mark over the past 10 years, ACC teams have posted an NCAA Tournamentbest mark of 329-164 for a sterling .667 winning percentage against the nation’s toughest competition. In the 24 years of the current 64-team field, the ACC has produced 22 Final Four teams, an average of almost one per year and five more than any other conference. Since the 1985 NCAA Tournament when the field was expanded to 64 teams, ACC teams have been even more impressive compiling a 233-115 (.670) NCAA record, including 63“Sweet 16” appearances and 22 Final Four berths — all NCAA Tournament bests. Since 1985, 63 of the 120 ACC teams receiving NCAA berths have won at least two NCAA Tournament games. Following their title run in 2005, North Carolina’s Tar Heels lead all ACC schools with four NCAA basketball championships to their credit. Duke has claimed three national titles, NC State two and Maryland one. The Tar Heels have captured NCAA titles in 1957, 1982, 1993 and 2005 while the Blue Devils won their third title in 2001, following back-to-back championships in 1991 and 1992. The Wolfpack walked away with the coveted crown in 1974 and 1983 while the Terps claimed the 2002 national title. The ACC has 10 or more NCAA Tournament wins in four of the last eight years and 13 times overall and the league has not posted a losing record in NCAA Tournament play since 1987. The conference’s 19-year non-losing streak in NCAA Tournament play is tops among all conferences. Since 1981, the ACC has produced 37 consensus AllAmericans - 17 more than any other conference and has accounted for 25 percent of the nation’s consensus AllAmericans (37-of-146). Seven of the last 12 and nine of the last 16 consensus National Players of the Year have come from the ACC. Since 1975, the ACC has had 16 consensus national players of the year — 13 more than any other conference. Nine of the ACC’s 16 National Players of the Year were unanimous selections. A year ago the ACC led all conferences with 53 players on NBA rosters. In addition, over the past three years 33 ACC players have made their NBA debuts, including 15 in 2006, eight in 2007 and 10 last year. This past June the ACC had four players selected in the annual NBA draft. The ACC has had the most, or tied for the most, first round draft picks in four of the past seven years and in 10 of the last 16. Since 1986, the ACC has
76
hurricanesports.com
had 89 first round selections (17 more than any other conference) and has had at least one first round selection in 20 consecutive NBA drafts. In 2007, the ACC became the first conference in NCAA history to have 10 teams finish the season with 20 or more wins. In addition, 10 ACC teams took part in post-season play, including an ACC record seven NCAA Tournament teams. For the first time in league history, the ACC surpassed the 2.4 million mark in attendance in 2006-07. The 12 league schools totaled 2,435,441 over 213 regular season games and six ACC Tournament sessions. For the third consecutive year, the ACC surpassed the 2.2 million mark in basketball attendance in 2008, with the 12 league teams totaling 2,355,822 over 203 regular-season games and six tournament session. The stature of ACC basketball is no where more clearly defined than by the league’s regional and national television exposure. A record-setting 285 television appearances involving ACC teams, highlight the 2007-08 basketball schedule, including 162 appearances on national television networks.
THE CHAMPIONSHIPS The conference will conduct championship competition in 25 sports during the 2008-09 academic year —12 for men and 13 for women. The first ACC championship was held in swimming on February 25, 1954. The conference did not conduct championships in cross country, wrestling or tennis during the first year. The 12 sports for men include football, cross country, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, wrestling, baseball, tennis, golf and lacrosse. Fencing, which was started in 1971, was discontinued in 1981. Championships for women are currently conducted in cross country, volleyball, field hockey, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, golf, lacrosse, softball and rowing.
A HIS TORY The Atlantic Coast Conference was founded on May 8, 1953, at the Sedgefield Inn near Greensboro, N.C., with seven charter members - Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest — drawing up the conference by-laws. The withdrawal of seven schools from the Southern Conference came early on the morning of May 8, 1953, during the Southern Conference’s annual spring meeting. On June 14, 1953, the seven members met in Raleigh, N.C., where a set of bylaws was adopted and the name became officially the Atlantic Coast Conference. Suggestions from fans for the name of the new conference appeared in the region’s newspapers prior to the meeting in Raleigh. Some of the names suggested were: Dixie, Mid South, Mid Atlantic, East Coast, Seaboard, Colonial, Tobacco, Blue-Gray, Piedmont, Southern Seven and the Shoreline. Duke’s Eddie Cameron recommended that the name of the conference be the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the motion was passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with each member institution assessed $200.00 to pay for conference expenses.

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING At the University of Miami winners are made on and off the track. Just as important as the final times recorded, are the results achieved in the Hurricanes’ weight room. It is this firm belief that has made Miami one of the winningest college athletic programs. The goal of the Hurricane Strength and Conditioning program is to minimize injury risk and enhance all physical parameters, including strength, speed, power, flexibility and cardio-vascular endurance. Each year when freshmen players arrive, baseline data is collected and a weight-training program is designed to help each player reach their full potential. Under the guidance of the strength staff each student-athletes’ progress is closely monitored and documented. The 12,000 square foot Hurricane weight room is located within the Hecht Athletic Center. Totally refurbished in 2000 with a complete line of free weights and muscle-specific machines, the Hurricane weight room is complete with a rubberized floor surface, stereo sound system, cooled water fountains and full-length mirrored walls.

CITY OF MIAMI WHERE THE HEAT IS ON “Welcome to Miami... bienvenidos a Miami.” With 84 miles of Atlantic coastline, yearlong sunshine and a boasted average daily temperature of 75 degrees, it is no wonder in his hit single, Will Smith dubbed Miami “the city where the heat is on.” The Heat on the Court Thanks to South Florida’s year-round, sports-friendly climate, Miami has a lot to offer in outdoor recreational activities. From some of the PGA’s finest golf courses to almost 700 parks, there is something for everyone. With countless opportunities for kayaking, scuba-diving, fishing, beach volleyball and rollerblading, there is no excuse for going without a tan. South Florida truly has the perfect weather for sports and is one of only eight metropolitan areas in the United States that can boast of a professional franchise in each of the four major sports. The Major League’s Florida Marlins had everybody “doing the fish” when they won the World Series in 1997 and 2003. The NFL’s Miami Dolphins have thrilled fans for decades at Dolphin Stadium, which hosted the Super Bowl in 1995, 1999 and 2007. Despite the warm weather, South Florida’s own hockey team, the Florida Panthers, keep up on the ice. And for basketball fans, the 2006 NBA Champion Miami Heat keep things hot at the American Airlines Arena. Miami is Caliente Truly a melting pot, Miami is home to a variety of cultures, creating a totally unique, vibrant cultural mosaic. With representatives of every Hispanic nation in the world, Spanish serves as a second language to most of Miami’s residents. Little Havana is the heart of Miami’s Cuban community, where churro vendors line the streets, the aroma of high-octane cafe Cubano fills the air and the spirit of friendly competition fills Domino Park. The spirit of the Caribbean is alive in Little Haiti, where many Haitian artists, musicians and entrepreneurs get their start in Miami. The proud focal point of this neighborhood is the Caribbean Market, an open-air replica of Port-au-Prince’s Iron Market, where Creole is the dominant language. Sizzling the silver screen With tropical weather, a high-quality labor pool, low production costs and direct links to Latin America, Miami has become one of the most important entertainment centers in the world. Dubbed as the LatinAmerican Hollywood by the New York

CITY OF MIAMI Times, such blockbusters as Big Trouble—written by Miami Herald columnist Dave Barry, Any Given Sunday, There’s Something About Mary, The Birdcage and Wild Things were all filmed in Miami. A Hollywood favorite off-screen as well, Miami is home to dozens of celebrities and even more consider it a favorite weekend getaway. Glorida and Emilio Estefan’s Star Island estate and Gianni Versace’s Ocean Drive mansion-turnedmuseum are just a couple examples of Miami’s celebrity appeal. It is not uncommon to spot Sean “Diddy” Combs or Jamie Foxx dancing at a South Beach club or former president Bill Clinton playing golf at the Biltmore Hotel. Miami Hot Spots For shopping, dancing or just plain people watching, Miami offers several places to see and be seen. With over 800 buildings designed in the ‘30s and ‘40s, South Beach serves as the largest collection of Art Deco architecture in the world. Celebrity-owned restaurants, like Cameron Diaz’s Bambu, night clubs such as Level—based on the format of New York’s Studio 54, and a medley of huge anchor stores and unique boutiques create the flavor of miami’s most famous hot spot. Coconut Grove, just a 10-minute drive from the University of Miami, is another student favorite. Built mainly by West Indian craftsmen brought in from the Bahamas, it still holds onto the Caribbean appeal its name suggests. Attracting writers, artists and non-conformists, this hub of the bohemian arts contributed to Miami’s cultural renaissance. Fast-forward a century and the Grove is still one of Miami’s hottest nightspots, with more than 75 cafes, restaurants and clubs that line the streets. The Warmth of Coral Gables, the “city beautiful” The University of Miami campus is located in Coral Gables, dubbed the “City Beautiful”. Founded by George Merrick almost a century ago, the Gables is one of Miami’s most beautiful areas. The palmlined streets are all named after European villages, each one bordered by Old Spanish style homes. Downtown Coral Gables is bustling with the many offices of multi-national corporations, while the city’s central boulevard— Miracle Mile—is home to a wide array of designer boutiques and art galleries. One Gables favorite is the Venetian Pool, a beautiful swimming lagoon carved out of coral, which features cascading waterfalls and underwater caves.

Welcome to
COBB STADIUM As head coach Amy Deem continues to build the University of Miami track program to one of the nation’s elite, the construction of Cobb Stadium for Soccer, Track and Field marked a major step in that process. Located adjacent to the Hecht Athletic Center and providing seating for 500 people, the facility is named after Ambassador and Mrs. Charles E. Cobb. The Cobb family donated the leadership gift for the reconstruction and expansion of the University track and the construction of the new soccer field. Groundbreaking for the facility took place on April 21, 1998. “Having a facility like Cobb Stadium is a tremendous boost to our program,” said Deem. “We would like to thank the Cobb family for their continued support. It is through their generosity and the unending efforts of Paul Dee and the UM Administration that our dream for a stateof-the-art facility has come true.” Ambassador Cobb was captain of the Stanford University track team and a member of the 1960 United States Olympic team as a high hurdler. He has been a member of the University of Miami Board of Trustees and its Executive Committee for over 20 years and is the former Chairman of the Board of Trustees. “I am very pleased that our family is able to recognize Chuck’s many years of service to the University of Miami in this manner,” Mrs. Cobb said. “We have long felt that the University, by its natural location, is perfectly situated to be a great venue for these two sports. We hope this facility will be a catalyst for new traditions of excellence, commensurate with other University of Miami programs, and that it will also encourage increased participation in soccer, track and field by youngsters in our community.” In addition to providing a first class facility for the Hurricane soccer and track and field programs, the stadium is available to host soccer and track and field events for school and youth groups. Miami-Dade County has been invited to hold future County Junior High School Soccer and Track and Field Championships at Cobb Stadium.
