COACHING STAFF
eric HOULE
Head Coach • 20th Season • Southern Utah, 1981 Thirty-two time conference and 1999 NCAA Mountain Regional Coach of the Year Eric Houle is in his 20th season as head track and field and cross country coach at Southern Utah University. Since his arrival at SUU in 1992, the Thunderbirds have won 38 conference championships, including seven Summit League titles, 31 Mid-Con titles combined in track and cross country, an American West title and one NCAA Mountain Regional cross country championship. In addition, Houle has coached 736 all-conference athletes, 252 individual conference champions, 25 conference athletes of the year, 27 conference newcomers of the year, 24 NCAA national qualifiers, 75 NCAA West regional qualifiers and four NCAA All-Americans, including Cameron Levins, who picked up the title in track and in cross country. In 2007-08, Southern Utah cross country swept the inaugural Summit League cross country titles, marking the tenth time the men have capture the conference title and the eighth time for the women. The men followed up the feat the very next year for their third consecutive cross country title during the 2008-09 season. The men also added an outdoor championship trophy to the case last year as well. In 2006-07, Coach Houle led the Thunderbirds to four conference titles, including a “Triple Crown” season for the Southern Utah men. SUU’s men captured the Mid-Continent cross country title by finishing first through fifth to set a new scoring record and finishing a perfect race. The men then went on to finish first in the indoor and outdoor track and field championships for the complete sweep on the year. The women joined the men on the top step of the podium during the outdoor season. For his efforts, Houle was named the Mid-Con Coach of the Year for men’s cross country, men’s indoor/outdoor track an field and women’s outdoor track and field. In 2003-04, Houle led the Thunderbirds to a dual Mid-Continent Conference “Triple Crown” sweep as both programs won the cross country, indoor and outdoor track titles, marking the first time in conference history that a program had won all six championships in one season. The cross country sweep was the fifth Mid-Con sweep six years, with the SUU women taking home their sixth-straight Mid-Con crown overall, while the T-Bird men won for the sixth time in seven tries. Meanwhile, the women repeated as indoor and outdoor track champions to claim their second straight “Triple Crown” and their third in four years, while the men tasted victory in the indoor season for the first time in program history and notched their second outdoor title overall in the sweep. In 1999, Coach Houle led the Thunderbird men to their first-ever NCAA Mountain Division Cross Country Championship, stopping a streak of six-straight titles won by nationally-ranked Colorado, as well as knocking off four other nationally-ranked teams, a feat no other collegiate team in Utah has accomplished to date. The win put the Thunderbirds into the national rankings for the first time ever (#11 overall) and earned them their first-ever berth to the NCAA Championships, where SUU placed 21st overall. Houle’s efforts garnered him NCAA Regional Coach of the Year honors. On the track, the Thunderbirds have been just as dominant, winning 17 conference championships while finishing second in 25 other conference meets and third nine times. In June of 1999, Natalie Gibson became SUU’s first-ever track NCAA All-American, competing in the 400-meter hurdles at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Boise, Idaho. In addition, school records have been set or re-set almost 300 times over the past 10 years, including 11 records this past season. Overall, SUU has won 36 of 84 conference championships competed for since joining the league in 1997-98, while placing second in 32 meets and third in 10 others. In addition, Houle’s athletes have done it in the classroom as 15 Thunderbird athletes have garnered CoSIDA(College Sports Information Directors of America) Academic all-District VIII honors, with nine of those athletes having gone on to earn Academic All-America accolades, over the past five seasons. SUU’s men’s cross country program has also won two academic national championships in 1997-98 and 2004-05, while the women’s program was academic national runner-up in 2002-03. Houle graduated with two bachelor’s degrees from SUU – in physical education and communication – in 1981, and added a Master’s degree in secondary education in 1998. Houle began his head coaching career in 1982 at Salt Lake City’s Judge Memorial High School. In eight seasons at JMHS, Houle’s cross country teams won 10 region and three state championships and had five runner-up finishes. Houle and his wife Diane are the parents of two grown sons, Deric and Nick, and reside in Cedar City. In 2004, Coach Houle was inducted into the Utah Summer Games Hall of Honor in recognition of his career coaching accomplishments.

Throws Coach • 4th Season • Southern Utah, 2008
Sprints Coach • 1st Season • Lousiana State
Nathan Ott will begin his fifth season overall and fourth season as a full-time assistant coach after serving as a volunteer coach during the 2007-08 season. Ott joined the staff after a stellar four-year career with the Thunderbirds. Ott finished his career at Southern Utah, holding the school’s all-time mark in the hammer with a distance of 201 feet five inches. He was a two-time NCAA Regional qualifier and champion of the men’s hammer at the 2007 Mid-Continent Conference championships. In addition, Ott was the leading scorer for the T-Birds at the outdoor conference championships in 2006, collecting three second-place finishes for 24 points. During his career he medaled in every throwing event but javelin. During his first year of coaching, his record was broken as he coached Greg Watson to a record-breaking mark of 216 feet six inches in the hammer throw at the SUU Invitational. Watson later qualified for the NCAA national competition. In 2009, SUU throwers had one of the most record-breaking seasons in school history as four school records were broken during the indoor and outdoor season. Under Ott’s tutelage, Southern Utah student-athletes recorded 25 marks that rank in the top ten in school history in various events. In addition, five student-athletes advanced to the NCAA West Regionals, including Kristi Koplin and Carlos Valle who qualified in multiple events (hammer/discus and shot put/ discus, respectively). In all, Coach Ott had athletes represented in the shot put, discus, hammer and javelin. Records continued to fall in 2010 as top marks were broken in three events during the year. The women’s hammer record was broken multiple times by multiple athletes, showing the depth and talent of the Thunderbird squad. In addition, SUU throwers rewrote the top-ten lists with 28 marks now etched in the record books. Thunderbird throwers made up half of Southern Utah’s NCAA regional appearance as five of the ten athletes were under the tutelage of Ott (discus, hammer and javelin), appearing in six different events. Koplin, returned to the regional meet, placing eighth in the women’s hammer (190-10) to advance to the NCAA Championships, finishing 12th in Eugene. In all, SUU throwers have tallied eight new school records and 94 top-ten marks during Ott’s tenure. Ott is a native of Cedar City, Utah and will work with the throwers in addition to other duties as assigned.
Kelly Willie, a member of the gold medal 4x400-meter relay team at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, has joined the Southern Utah University track and field program and will serve as an assistant coach. Willie will be responsible for the sprinters in addition to other duties as assigned. Willie comes to SUU as one of the most decorated athletes in the history of Louisiana State University (2003-06) after running to seven national titles and earning 19 All-American citations. When Willie left LSU, he held the school record in the 60-meter dash with a 6.66 mark and had recorded personal-best times of 10.04 in the 100-meters, 20.20 in the 200-meters and 44.6 in the 400-meters. In addition to his collegiate prowess, Willie also earned a gold medal while running for the United States at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. He was named a member of the men’s 4x400-meter relay team, running in the qualifying heats that led to the gold-medal run for the squad. Willie is originally from Pasadena, Texas and will be moving to Cedar City with his fiancee, Zenobia, and two children, Kyree and Tiana. The couple is also expecting a third child in April of 2012.

THE SUMMIT LEAGUE Celebrating its 30th season in Division I athletics
“Ascending ” and “improving ” are adjectives frequently used in media coverage of The Summit League as it continues a renaissance on the playing eld and in the classroom. As The Summit League celebrates its 30th anniversary season as an NCAA Division I athletics conference, the level of performance and achievement among the 11 member institutions and over 3,000 student-athletes in 19 championship sports continues to grow. Since 2007, The Summit League has produced 39 All-Americans and 28 Academic All-America selections along with three NCAA Champions, two NBA Draft choices and one Olympic Silver medalist. Headlining The Summit League ’s most recent history were the additions of the University of South Dakota and the University of Nebraska Omaha to its membership. USD joined in 2009 and the 2011-12 academic year marks its rst year of full league competition. UNO ’s membership took effect on July 1, 2011 and it will begin league competition in 2012-13. The Summit League ’s visibility continues to expand on several fronts. The 2011 Baseball Championship drew a record 5,128 fans, topping the previous high by almost 1,500. Another successful Summit League Basketball Championship totaled a combined attendance of over 32,000 which ranked as the second-highest gure in league history while the men ’s tournament was one of just six outside the traditional “power conferences ” to average 4,400 or better per session. Television exposure also increased with the broadcasts of four Summit League sport championships in 2010-11. For the second consecutive season, all 14 men ’s and women ’s basketball tournament games were televised live, including the women ’s championship on ESPNU and the men ’s on ESPN2. Furthermore, The Summit League Outdoor Track and Field Championships were televised for the rst time and the league ’s entire Baseball Tournament was carried live, marking another rst. The national reach of The Summit League was furthered when three member institutions hosted 2010-11 NCAA Championship events. IUPUI was a quad-host for the Women ’s Basketball Final Four, UMKC co-hosted the Volleyball Championship and Oakland hosted the Great Lakes Cross Country Regional Championship. In 2013, Oakland will host the Men ’s Basketball Second and Third Rounds and IUPUI will serve as co-host for a Men ’s Basketball Regional. In men ’s basketball, The Summit League ranked No. 18 in the Sagarin Ratings, placing four teams among the top 150 and six in the top 200. In the Mid-Major Top 25 poll, league champion Oakland ranked No. 5 with two rst-place votes entering the NCAA Tournament, putting them ahead of two Final Four participants, including the national runner-up. The Summit League set a leaguerecord by playing 16 games against AP nationally-ranked teams, the highest total among mid-majors, including seven top-10 opponents, highlighted by Oakland ’s win at then-No. 7 Tennessee. Women ’s basketball joined the men in sending multiple teams to the postseason with three teams advancing for the second-straight year, including Oral Roberts, which reached the WNIT ’s round of 16 to match the league ’s deepest run in that tournament. Summit League teams combined to record four victories over “power six ” conference foes during the season.

Individually on the hardwood, Oakland ’s Keith Benson was selected in the second round of the 2011 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks and Oral Roberts ’ Steven Roundtree was named Mid-Major Freshman of the Year by CollegeInsider.com. On the women ’s side, ORU ’s Kevi Luper became the rst player in NCAA history to lead the nation in both points per game and steals per game in the same season. Several teams continued impressive championship streaks within the league in 2010-11. Oral Roberts, which nished the season nationally-ranked, won its 14th-straight baseball title, tying for the second-longest streak in NCAA history. Oakland captured its 12thconsecutive men ’s and women ’s swimming and diving titles while North Dakota State won its fourth-straight men ’s and women ’s indoor track and eld championships and its third softball crown in a row. South Dakota State became the rst women ’s basketball team to win three consecutive league championships. The Summit League enjoyed a successful track and eld season with eight All-Americans, including six at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Oral Roberts ’ Jack Whitt nished as runner-up in the pole vault at the Outdoor Championships after placing third indoors. North Dakota State ’s Whitney Carlson became the rst female athlete in league history to earn All-America honors in two events at both the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships during the same year. Two Summit League student-athletes received the prestigious NCAA Elite 88 Award, given to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the nals site for each of the NCAA championships. Amy Anderson (women ’s golf) and Carlson (outdoor track and eld), both from North Dakota State, the lone non-FBS public university to have multiple recipients, were presented with the honor and added All-America honors for their athletic performances. Anderson led the league ’s individual accomplishments, placing 12th at the NCAA Women ’s Golf Championships, the highest nish ever by a Summit League player, and competing as an amateur in the U.S. Women ’s Open. IPFW ’s Amy Recht claimed her fourth consecutive Women ’s Tennis Player of the Year honor and became the rst Summit League athlete to win the sport ’s top award in each season of eligibility. Academically, six Summit League student-athletes received Academic All-America honors and six teams were bestowed with the NCAA Public Recognition Award, an honor given to teams that have a Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR) in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The accomplishments of 2010-11 came on the heels of the exceptional success the previous two years. In 2009-10, IUPUI ’s Chen Ni became The Summit League ’s rst female NCAA Champion when she took rst in the platform dive. Oakland ’s Keith Benson was named the Lou Henson Award winner as the nation ’s Mid-Major Player of the Year.

SUMMIT LEAGUE MEMBERSHIP
One of the Summit League ’s most iconic moments came when Valparaiso ’s Bryce Drew hit “the shot ”, a game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer, to top Mississippi in the rst round of the 1998 NCAA Tournament. Valpo ’s story captivated the nation as they became the league ’s second team to reach the “Sweet 16. ” Bahamas ’ 4x400-meter relay team after winning both the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor 400meter titles and IUPUI ’s George Hill became The Summit League ’s second NBA rst round draft pick. Originally formed in 1982 as the Association of Mid-Continent Universities and later known as the Mid-Continent Conference, The Summit League is in its fth year of rebranding that followed its 25th anniversary and coincided with the Summit Plan, a strategic plan that places a renewed emphasis on improving the academic and athletic performances of all league student-athletes. Included in the plan was the league ’s new name, the creation of a new image and the addition of three member institutions. The Summit League has a combined enrollment of over 135,000 at 11 universities, ve of which are located in the top 76 U.S. media markets (Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Tulsa and Omaha). Member institutions include: IPFW (Indiana University-Purdue UniversityFort Wayne), IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis), UMKC (University of Missouri-Kansas City), the University of Nebraska Omaha (which begins league competition in 2012-13), North Dakota State University, Oakland University, Oral Roberts University, the University of South Dakota (in its rst year as a full member), South Dakota State University, Southern Utah University and Western Illinois University. Eastern Illinois University is an associate member in swimming and diving and men ’s soccer. These member institutions pride themselves on providing quality athletic, academic and social experiences for their student-athletes. The Summit League sponsors 19 championship sports: baseball, men ’s and women ’s basketball, men ’s and women ’s cross country, men ’s and women ’s golf, men ’s and women ’s soccer, softball, men ’s and women ’s swimming and diving, men ’s and women ’s indoor track and eld, men ’s and women ’s outdoor track and eld, men ’s and women ’s tennis, and volleyball. The league champion receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament in all applicable sports. Since its inception in 1982, The Summit League has had several transcendent moments on the national stage. In 1986, Cleveland State upset third-seeded Indiana in the rst round of the NCAA Men ’s Basketball Tournament on its way to a berth in the Sweet 16. A decade later, Valparaiso captured the nation ’s attention when Bryce Drew hit “the shot ” to defeat No. 4 seed Mississippi in an NCAA rst-round game and spark its Sweet 16 run. More recently, Oral Roberts ’ baseball program nished the 2004 campaign with a nationalranking and became the rst Summit League school to reach an NCAA Super Regional in 2006. Three years later, North Dakota State ’s 2009 softball team became the rst League member to win an NCAA regional and advance to the Super Regional round. During the 2008-09 basketball season, South Dakota State ’s women ’s team was nationally-ranked throughout the year and capped its season with an NCAA Tournament rst round victory. The League has produced ve NCAA champions, four Olympic athletes and several AllAmericans in the sports of track and eld, swimming and diving and cross country. Numerous professional athletes and several draft choices have come directly from The Summit League, including three Major League Baseball rst round picks, a pair of NBA rst rounders, and one WNBA selection. Former Summit Leaguer Kevin Duckworth (NBA) was a two-time all-star during his professional career. Recent and historical success coupled with an increased growth among its membership base gives The Summit League a promising future on the landscape of college athletics.

Southern Utah University President
Michael T. Benson was appointed the 15th president of Southern Utah University on November 10, 2006, by the Utah State Board of Regents. Dr. Benson came to SUU from Snow College where he served as president for five years. Prior to his tenure in Ephraim, Dr. Benson was special assistant to the president and secretary to the University of Utah, a cabinet-level position on that campus. During his presidency at Snow, athletic teams excelled, winning several conference championships and finishing near the top of national rankings. He was instrumental in establishing America’s premier junior college football bowl game, the Zions Bank Top of the Mountains Bowl, played each December in Salt Lake City. Dr. Benson currently serves as Chair of the Presidents’ Council for the Summit League. President Benson is the father of four children, Emma, Samuel, Truman Taft, and Tatum Anne. He and his wife Debi, along with the kids, are regularly seen around campus and at all types of sporting events. An accomplished athlete, Dr. Benson was captain of the East High School basketball team and one of four sophomores on the team that won the 1981 Utah State championship. He turned down track scholarships as a senior at East to enroll at Brigham Young University on a leadership scholarship, eventually earning a bachelor’s degree in political science, English, and history while playing on the junior varsity basketball team. He has also competed in the worlds oldest rivalry, serving as a player/coach in leading Oxford University over Cambridge in the 1994 Varsity Basketball Match. President Benson has completed several marathons with his best time (2:41) winning his age division at the St. George Marathon. In 1984, Michael was one of only 19 teenagers to compete in the Boston Marathon, with his finishing time of 2:52 placing him in the top 15% of all registered runners. While President of Snow College, he ran the St. George Marathon again, this time raising over $50,000 for the athletic department. He currently maintains a seven handicap in his favorite sport, golf. Dr. Benson holds a doctorate in modern Middle Eastern History from Oxford University. His criticallyacclaimed book, Harry S. Truman and the Founding of Israel has led to many lecturing and consulting opportunities. Michael regularly leads tour groups to the Middle East where he is eager to share his love for and knowledge of the region. He is currently pursuing a master’s degree in non-profit administration at the Mendoza School of Business at the University of Notre Dame. The Bensons are delighted to be at Southern Utah University and look forward to supporting Thunderbird student-athletes for many years to come.

SUU ADMINISTRATION Dear Thunderbird Fans and Supporters: One of America’s great coaches once said, “The will to win is not nearly as important as the will to prepare to win.” All of us at Southern Utah University are committed to helping our student-athletes as they prepare to win on their respective fields and courts of competition. But more importantly, we are committed to helping them acquire those tools, experiences, and skills that will help them succeed in life and their life’s work. I thank you for your continued commitment to SUU and its many outstanding athletic programs which now number 17 – the second highest number of Division I sports programs offered in the entire State of Utah. For all those who enjoy a football Saturday on a beautiful fall day in the shadow of Cedar Mountain, the benefits of Division I athletics in our community are innumerable. From the dollars spent by visiting teams and fans in our local places of business to the positive media coverage generated by our studentathletes, the University is the beneficiary of these and other positive by-products of the substantial investment in our athletic program. Donors and alumni are even more proud of their association with the University when they see a return on their donated dollars in the form of success on the field and in the classroom. Excellence in athletics will continue to be an investment we are willing to make at Southern Utah University. In addition to those student-athletes who learn invaluable lessons in both the “thrill of victory and the agony of defeat,” athletics provide excellent participation opportunities for students in bands, cheer squads, dance teams, trainers, marketing interns, and many more. Our student athletes also represent a large percentage of the geographic, socioeconomic, ethnic, and religious diversity on campus which, I believe, enhances and enriches the academic and social experience of ALL our students. I heartily commend our athletic director, Ken Beazer, and his able and committed staff for their superb stewardship of the funds directed toward athletics. I also wish to thank all the academic and support staff who regularly monitor the progress of our student-athletes to ensure their commitment to “prepare to win” while at SUU and well beyond. Thank you for your support of Southern Utah University and the proud Thunderbird tradition. Yours sincerely, President Michael Benson
