Hello from the Lowdon Track and Field Complex. It is amazing to think that I have already been here for six years. Many times, people ask me what drove me to TCU and, obviously, it is impossible to answer that question with just one answer, but I can tell you that the history TCU has in track and field comes to mind. Looking back over TCUʼs track history brings a smile to my face. There have been seven individual National Champions, seven relay NCAA Champions and 237 All-Americans. The Flyinʼ Frogs are also home to the fastest 4x100 and 4x200 relay teams in NCAA history. TCU continues to produce Olympians and world-class track and field athletes. In the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, TCU had four athletes compete: Michael Frater, Kim Collins, Lewis Banda and Virgil Hodge. This past summer, current senior Jessica Young represented the United States at the IAAF World Championships, while Hodge, Collins and Frater also competed in Germany. With that success in hand, I am honored to be the head coach at such a prestigious university and look forward to adding to that success. I feel we have enriched our history over the last six years. During that time, we have won 77 Mountain West Conference Championships, had 62 All-Americans and been tabbed the fastest sprint program in the nation in the Track and Field News Annual Relay Rankings. There have been so many people who have contributed to our success and been part of some special moments at this track. We appreciate all you have done and hope that you will continue to support our program. Another year is upon us and more championship opportunities are ahead of us. We look forward to seeing all of you at our two home meets this season.

THIS IS TCU TRACK The Nation’s Best Relays Have Resided At TCU TCU has been without question one of the most decorated track and field programs in the NCAA during its 87 years of existence. The facts are simple, the Flyinʼ Frogs have produced the fastest 4x100 and 4x200 menʼs relay teams in the history of the NCAA. The past four seasons alone, TCU has been represented well at the NCAA Championships. In 2006-2007, TCU sent all four relay units to the Outdoor National Championships. In 2008, TCUʼs 4x400 finished second overall in the NCAA during the indoor season, while the menʼs 4x100 garnered All-America honors in the spring. Last season saw the Flyinʼ Frogs womenʼs 4x400 finish fourth overall during the indoor season, while the menʼs 4x100 earned All-America accolades to close out the 2009 campaign at the NCAA Outdoor Chamionships. Simply put, TCU has put on the track some of the most dominate relays and will continue to do so for many years.

THIS IS TCU TRACK An All-Around Track and Field Program in Fort Worth, Texas For many years, TCU has been a force nationally in the sprints and relays. TCU now features some of the nationʼs finest talent in the hurdles, jumps, distance and throws area. Since head coach Darryl Anderson began at TCU five years ago the Flyinʼ Frogs have had a National Champion in the 800 meters, a two-time Midwest Regional Champion in the hurdles, a top-three finisher at the NCAAʼs in the triple jump, a 2008 All-American in the menʼs javelin, two 2009 Outdoor AllAmericanʼs in the long and triple jump and several conference champions in non-sprinting events. Last season, saw both Whitney Gipson and Neidra Covington collect All-America honors at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, while Kishelle Paul captued the Midwest Regional Championship for the second-consecutive season in the 400-meter hurdles. At the conference level, TCU won the menʼs discus and womenʼs shot put. The victory in the shot put marked the eighth-straight title TCU has claimed in the womenʼs shot put. Add that Festus Kigen has represented TCU at the 2007 and 2008 NCAA Cross Country Championships and TCU is quickly becoming one of the nationʼs best all-around programs in the country.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP PROGRAM National Championship History A tradition rarely matched in the sprints and relays. TCU offers nothing less. And the proof is on paper and in the history books. TCU has produced more NCAA Championships in the 400-meter relay than any other school over the last 30-plus years. It all started modestly with a fifth-place finish by the mile relay at the 1973 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Since then, TCU has gradually developed into a force to be reckoned with in collegiate track & field as the school has produced five NCAA Outdoor National Champions in the 4x100-meter relay over the last 20 years. TCU also has produced three individual national champions. Raymond Stewart won two outdoor 100-meter crowns, an indoor 55meter dash title, and ran on two 400-meter relay championship units. Kim Collins won indoor titles in the 60-and 200-meters and anchored the winning 4x100-meter relay team during the outdoor season.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP PROGRAM National Championship History Success in major college athletics is defined by whether or not a college athletics program can claim a national championship. TCU, with 14 individual and relay national titles, set over three decades, is one of the very few programs that can claim that type of success on the track. The facts are simple, TCU competes for NCAA Championships every year during both the indoor and outdoor seasons. The Horned Frogs have had repeated success on the track and will for years to come under Anderson, who has coached seven Olympians in his 24 years of coaching.

ALL-AMERICA PROGRAM All-America Honorees At TCU All-America tradition runs deep at TCU. In the 87 years of track and field at TCU, the Flyinʼ Frogs have produced 237 All-Americans. Cy Leland began TCUʼs long line of All-America honors in 1930. Leland, a Texas native, closed out his senior season with a fourth-place finish in the 100 meters at the NCAA meet. Fast forward to the present and TCU is still turning out All-Americans. Since head coach Darryl Anderson came to TCU in 2004, the Frogs have produced 62 All-Americans. With 37 of those 62 All-Americans coming within the past three years, TCU will continue to be a force on the track at the NCAAʼs. In 2008, the Flyinʼ Frogs started the year strong, turning out seven different individuals who collected All-America honors during the indoor season, including a menʼs 4x400 unit that collected runner-up honors at the NCAA Championships. During the outdoor season, TCU was once again prominent in the All-America standings with Mychal Dungey earning All-America honors in the menʼs 200 meters, while Joe Brown and the menʼs 4x100 collected All-America accolades.

HALL OF FAME PROGRAM When one breaks down the success that the TCU Track and Field program has accomplished during its 87 years, a few things stand out. Overall, the Flyinʼ Frogs have produced 23 inductees into the TCU Hall of Fame, while also having one of the most storied relay programs in the country. In 2008, former TCU greats Carey Johnson, Ralston Wright, Jon Drummond and Horatio Porter were honored as part of the 2008 Wall of Fame class at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia. With their induction, they joined TCUʼs 1986 4x200 relay squad on the Penn Relays Wall of Fame. Johnson, Wright, Drummond and Porter were part of a 4x100 relay team in 1991 that set a 10-year Penn Relays record, winning the event in 38.80 seconds. It was the first sub-39 college 4x100 at that time.

AN ALL-TIME GREAT Bill Collins is recognized as one of TCUʼs first great sprinters. The Mount Vernon, New York, native captured two Southwest Conference 100-yard titles in 1974 and 1975. He also won the 60-yard dash crown at the SWC Indoor Championship in 1975. The ʻFleet Frogʼ finished with career best marks of 9.3 seconds and 20.7 seconds in the 100 and 200 events respectively. He gained allAmerica recognition in the 60-yard dash (indoors) in 1974, and on the 4x100 meter relay team in 1975. Collins played a key role on one of TCUʼs early great relay quartets that ran a conference record 3:18.9 in the 1975 indoor mile relay. He also aided the 1973 sprint relay that set a then-school record of 40.9. Collins still has not given up running and has remained active in agegroup track and field and has held several national age-group sprint marks. In 2006, Collins was named the USATF Masters Athlete of the Year. In 2003 he was inducted into the USA Track & Field Masters Hall of Fame. Collins owns more than 141 masters national titles, 33 world masters crowns and has set nearly 47 world records during his remarkable Masters career. In November of 2006, he was recognized as the IAAF Male Masters Athlete of the Year at the annual IAAF Gala in Monaco.

AN ALL-TIME GREAT What did you enjoy most about your time at TCU? “Those were the early years and we really didn't have much to work with. We ran on a very hard red clay and dirt track. We had almost no weightroom to speak of and in those days everything was standard. But we had a group of guys and a coach in the late Guy Shaw Thompson that made you feel at home. For me being from New York and thousands of miles away, it took some adjustment. But I couldn't have picked a better place to make that adjustment. It was just a fun place to learn and participate in sports. Everyone took me in as if I was family. I had made a promise to Guy Shaw months before coming to TCU that the school may not be much now (1969), but in years to come this track program would become one of the best in the nation.” What was it about TCU that prepared you most for the rest of your life? “Hard work does pay off and life is not always going to be a bed of roses, but stay in the fight and the outcome can be more than you anticipated. Enjoy the moments because they will become part of your history that you can look back on and grow.” Do you still follow the TCU program? “Yes, all the sports.” What are your impressions of the program coach Darryl Anderson is building at TCU? “Coach Anderson is one of the best coaches in the United States. I love what he has brought to TCU. He is now on his way to building the program back to the heights we as Horned Frogs have come accustomed to.” You are widely considered one of the best Masters runners ever in the history of the sport, does that mean anything to you? “The greatness which has come from my athletic career are the relationships I have developed over the years, which means more to me than all the awards that I have received. People are what makes this world go round and I have been able to develop friendships with people around the world that would not have been capable without track. I love the sport of track and field and the Masters level is an experience I wish all could enjoy.” You have accomplished so much in your career, what would you consider your biggest accomplishment? “There are three that stand out in my career.” 1. Mount Vernon High School 1969/1970: I was the only athlete in the history of the state championship to win the 100 and 200 two years in-a-row. 2. TCU 1975: I was the high point total person at the Southwest Conference meet. 3. Masters 2006: I was named the WMA/IAAF Male Athlete of the Year in the world. In 2003, you were inducted into the USA Track and Field Masters Hall of Fame, does that mean anything to you? “It was a great honor and a proud moment to know that my peers thought that much of me to put me in on the first ballot. I had two previous awards that are very high on my awards list, which made this one easier to handle. The 1994 TCU Lettermen's Hall of Fame induction was by far one of the most exciting because it was the first time my family got to come to TCU. In 2001, I was inducted into the Westchester Sports Hall of Frame and all of my teammates from high school, my old coaches and friends/family were in attendance. It was great. Looking back on your career at TCU, what do you consider your biggest accomplishment collegiately? “First and foremost was getting my degree. The exciting moments were when I broke the school 100-yard dash record that had stood for what seemed like 50 years. I got so many letters from old TCU greats from years past. It was great. Another one would be winning my first conference title. Tthe look on Guy Shaw's face still stays with me even today. I knew the Flyinʼ Frogs were here to stay. The relays were also an accomplishment because it brought the team together. We were a small school and to be able to beat the likes of Texas, Arkansas, Texas A&M and others was the greatest feeling one could have. At meets we came in a station wagon and they showed up in bus loads!”
1994 Collins was inducted into the TCU Hall of Fame.

THE TCU COMPLEX Made possible by the generosity of long-time TCU supporters Robert and Maria Lowdon, this all-purpose facility allows the TCU track and field program to take on the nationʼs finest collegiate competition on its home turf. The facility was officially dedicated October 25, 1999, and boasts the fastest running surface available today, an all-weather Rekortan track that gives TCUʼs already phenomenal sprints program the chance to post even faster times. The most visible long-term impact on the program may have been the addition of an outstanding area for throwing and jumping events, including recently adding two hammer throw cages. It enabled TCU to pursue excellence in the field events and afforded the chance for the Horned Frogs to add to a rich heritage built primarily on sprinting greatness. The complex hosted the 2008 Mountain West Conference Championships and boasts one of the most advanced track and field scoreboards in the United States. Overall, the Lowdon Track and Field Complex hosts two meets during the outdoor season, which include the TCU Invitational and Horned Frog Invitational.

FORT WORTH/METROPLEX Fort Worth began in 1849 - the city and TCU grew up together - when an Army camp was established on a bluff overlooking the Trinity River. After the civil war, Texas ranchers and cowboys rounded up thousands of wild longhorns and drove them to Kansas. In the 1870ʼs, railroads came to the city, and then the Stockyards were built, turning Fort Worth into the end of the cattle drive trail. Fort Worth is home to five of the finest museums in the Southwest. In fact its cultural district includes the Kimball Art Museum, the Amon Carter Museum, the Modern Art Museum, the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame and the Fort Worth Mutual Science and History. Downtown finds the Texas Ballet Theater, the Fort Worth Opera, the Fort Worth Symphony and the world class Bass Performance Hall, called one of the top-10 opera houses in the world by Travel and Leisure Magazine. And while TCU is considered the “home team” of Fort Worth, other nearby sports attractions include the Texas Rangers, Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Stars, Dallas Mavericks, FC Dallas, the PGA Tourʼs Colonial Tournament and Texas Motor Speedway.

TCU FACILITIES The 38,000-square foot John Justin Athletic Center serves as the lifeline for TCU Athletics. The building, which was completed in August 2000, houses the academic-athletic services office, administrative offices, video center, Heritage Center and the football offices. The academic center includes individual tutor rooms, group study rooms and a computer lab, all near the student-athletes' workout and competitive venues. Other key facilities within the athletics complex, include the Walsh Complex, Daniel-Meyer Coliseum, Sam Baugh Indoor Practice Facility, and Amon G. Carter Stadium. Really, commitment is the key when it comes to TCU and its facilities. In no area is that word more evident than the facility improvements planned for the future of Horned Frog programs. The first step was the $7 million Sam Baugh Indoor Practice Facility that opened in 2008. Phase two was unveiled in 2008 in the form of the Dutch Meyer Athletic Complex and Abe Martin Academic Enhancement Center, which features academic and team meeting space, a team community area, 250 club seats, six luxury suites and a unique view of Amon G. Carter Stadium. The complex was completely funded by nine donors and game day revenues raised by the facility will go directly to supporting athletics scholarships through the Frog Club.
TCU FACILITIES TCU Facilities TCU takes pride in its ability to provide student-athletes with some of the finest facilities possible. Horned Frog athletes have seen multiple facility upgrades in recent years, and not just for soccer. The Schollmaier Basketball Complex, completed in 2004, gave both menʼs and womenʼs basketball programs a brand-new practice facility, while the baseball team benefited from the construction of the $7 million Lupton Stadium in 2003. The football, womenʼs soccer, tennis, track and field, volleyball and swimming and diving programs also have seen individual sport improvements since 2000, and a multi-million-dollar Olympic Sports Complex is one of many projects in the works for the future of TCUʼs athletics program.

FLYIN’ FROGS READY FOR ACTION TCU Returns Nine All-America Honorees in 2010.
Coming off a 2009 campaign that saw TCU record 12 All-America accolades, break three TCU school records and send nine student-athletes and three relays to the NCAA Outdoor Championships, the Flyin' Frogs are in position to make some real noise on both the conference and NCAA level. Overall, the Purple and White will have plenty of experience to lean on during the early portion of the indoor season as a talented crop of newcomers test themselves against collegiate level competition for the first time. This indoor season, the women will rely on returning All-America honorees Neidra Covington and Whitney Gipson during the early portion of the indoor schedule. Covington, a three-time All-American, collected runner-up honors in the triple jump at the NCAA Midwest Regional by soaring to a seasonal and personal-best leap of 44 feet, 6 inches on her second attempt. Gipson, a sophomore from Newark, was the only freshman in the nation to make the finals in the long jump at the NCAA Outdoor Championships Junior Stormy Harrison also returns for the Flyin' Frogs this fall after closing the 2009 outdoor season crushing the women's shot put field at the Mountain West Conference Outdoor Championship, claiming the event-title with a new complex and seasonal-best throw of 52 feet, 6 ¾ inches. In the sprints, look for junior Kristal Juarez to make a splash this indoor season. She came on late in the year during the outdoor season to earn all-conference honors in three different events. Juarez finished third overall in the women's 400 meters at the Mountain West Conference Championships. She blazed to a personal-best time of 52.96 seconds to cross the finish line in third-place with the program's fourth-fastest time ever. Juarez competed at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 400 meters and should once again be a factor this winter. On the men's side, leadership will play a key role during the 2010 season as the Flyin' Frogs return several key faces, including All-American's Mark Barnes, Mychal Dungey, Dell Guy, Clemore Henry and Matthew Love. Dungey, a three-time All-American, captured the 2009 Mountain West Conference 200 meters crown with a personal-best and regional qualifying time of 20.67 seconds. The junior's time, which set a new complex record, was at that point the 11th-fastest time in the nation and the fifth-fastest time in the Midwest Region for 2009. Barnes, who captured All-American accolades as a member of the men's 4x100 last outdoor season, returns
following a freshman season in which he finished second overall in the 60 meters at the MWC Indoor Championships last winter. Guy, Henry and Love are poised for big-time indoor season's in 2010 as all three All-American's have had solid fall workouts. Guy returns for his final season in Fort Worth after earning all-conference accolades in the 400 meters during the indoor season, while Henry could make a splash this winter in the 400 meters after sitting out last indoor season because of injury. Love also returns after clocking a personal-best time of 46.19 seconds at the Midwest Regional last spring in the 400. All three along with Dungey give TCU one of the most dangerous 4x400 units in the entire country. In the hurdles, Jordan Pitts returns after capturing his second-straight conference indoor crown in the 60-meter hurdles last winter. Overall, the junior has collected four conference championships between the indoor and outdoor season's the last two years in the hurdles. After redshirting the cross country season, senior Festus Kigen should have an immediate impact for the Frogs in the distance events. Kigen, who sat out last season, placed second overall in 2008 at the Mt. SAC Relays in the 5,000 meters by crushing the NCAA regional qualifying mark with a time of 14:03.61. The Kenya native also closed 2008 earning runner-up accolades in the 1,500 and 5,000 meters at the MWC Outdoor Championships. Look for junior Sean Zurko to have an impact in the distance events this winter as well. Zurko, a Las Vegas native, opened the 2009 indoor season capturing the 800 meters crown at the Razorback Invitational before closing the season as a member of the men's 4x400 quartet that competed at the NCAA Indoor Championships. In the throws, senior Tommy Killen exploded onto the scene late last spring, capturing the Mountain West Conference Outdoor discus title with a throw of 179 feet, 2 inches. Killen, who sat out last indoor season, placed third overall in the shot put at the MWC Indoor Championships in 2008. TCU will begin postseason competition on Feb. 25 with the Mountain West Conference Indoor Championships, while the NCAA Championships will take place on March 12-13 in Fayetteville, Ark.

2010 SEASON OUTLOOK
Throws Despite the loss of Mountain West Conference Indoor Champion, Candis Kelley, TCU returns plenty of talent in the throws this winter looking to make some real noise on the conference and national level once again. Back on the womenʼs side is Stormy Harrison, the 2009 Mountain West Conference Outdoor Champion and NCAA participant. Harrison crushed the women's shot put field at the Mountain West Conference Outdoor Championships, claiming the event-title with a new complex and seasonal-best throw of 52 feet, 6 ¾ inches. This winter, look for Harrison to once again be a factor nationally. On the menʼs side, Tommy Killen returns looking to improve upon a season in which he captured the 2009 Mountain West Conference discus title in Laramie, Wyo. By winning the eventtitle, Killen became the first Horned Frog in program history to claim first-place honors in the men's discus at a conference championship. Overall, Killen tossed the discus 179 feet, 2 inches, which is an NCAA regional qualifying mark, to claim first-place honors at the Louis S. Madrid Sports Complex in Wyoming. The Frogs will add several key newcomers to the throws area this winter as Cameron Tabor, Kelsey Samuels and Sara Talley could all play major roles in TCUʼs success this winter. Jumps TCU returns two All-America honorees in the jumps this winter in Whitney Gipson and Neidra Covington. Both should once again push for All-America status and be major factors at the conference championships in February. Covington, who has distinguished herself as TCUʼs most successful jumpers in program history, burst onto the scene at the Midwest Regional last spring, collecting runner-up honors in the triple jump by soaring to a seasonal and personal-best leap of 44 feet, 6 inches on her second attempt. She came back to claim All-America honors, which were the third of her career, by collecting eighth overall at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Gipson returns in 2010 and should only improve after posting her first All-America showing in the women's long jump, soaring to a 13th-place finish in the finals. Gipson was the only freshman in the nation to make the finals in the long jump at the NCAA Championships.

TRACK & FIELD | TCU MEDIA GUIDE
Freshman Saria Hawkins should give new jumps coach Nic Petersen plenty of young talent to work with this winter as she had a very successful high school career at Longview High School. On the menʼs side, Richard Knotts returns looking for a breakout season after earning all-conference honors last winter. Knotts has been hampered by injuries during his young career, but was able to place fourth overall in the long jump at the Mountain West Conference Outdoor Championships. Multi-Events With the loss of school-record holder Meaghan Peoples to graduation, TCU will rely on freshman Samantha Collins and Emily Hanna in the multi-events. Collins comes to TCU after being nationally ranked in both the long jump and heptathlon, while Hanna was a four-time state champion in the 100-meter hurdles in Colorado. Hurdles The Flyinʼ Frogs will head into the 2010 season without two-time regional winner Kishelle Paul, so look for freshman Larissa Matthews to take over on the womenʼs side, while Jordan Pitts and Clint Renfro should be one of the best one-two punches in the MWC this winter on the menʼs side as both have captured conference championships during their careers in Fort Worth. Distance The TCU distance program will welcome Festus Kigen back in 2010. Kigen, a two-time NCAA participant in cross country, should be poised to breakout this winter and be a national level participant. The Kenya native, who redshirted last season, just missed qualifying for the 2008 NCAAs, clocking a time of 14:07.51 at the Midwest Regional to place eighth overall. Also back for the Frogs is Sean Zurko. Zurko, an all-conference honoree, won the 800 meters at Texas Tech with a time of 1:49.95, which was an NCAA regional qualifying mark. He also finished second overall in the 800 at the LSU Relays with a personal-best and NCAA regional qualifying time of 1:49.87 seconds.

2010 SEASON OUTLOOK
On the womenʼs side, look for Kelly Dawson and Tanja Ivandic to make contributions for the Flyinʼ Frogs. Both had solid cross country seasons this fall and should once again push for allconference accolades after leading TCU last spring on the womenʼs side. Distance coach Shawn Winget brought in several key contributors this fall on the distance side, including Kenya natives Agnes Kemboi and Rose Tanui. Kemboi led TCU at the MWC Cross Country Championships, placing 16th overall, while Tanui comes to TCU from Central Arizona College where she claimed the Junior College National Championship in cross country in 2008 before earning runner-up honors in 2009. Sprints With plenty of experience returning, the Flyin' Frog men return All-America honorees Mychal Dungey, Mark Barnes, Dell Guy, Clemore Henry and Matt Love. Dungey, a three-time All-American, returns after becoming the fourth consecutive Flyin' Frog to win the men's 200-meter dash at the outdoor championships last spring. Dungey should be among the nationʼs best this winter in both the 60, 100 and 200 meters as he was ranked in all three events last season. Look for Barnes to have a breakout winter as he collected All-America honors as part of the men's 4x100 that placed eighth overall with a time of 39.50 seconds at the NCAA Championships. Barnes also placed fourth overall in the 100 meters at the Mountain West Conference Outdoor Championships with a personal-best time of 10.38 seconds. Guy, Henry and Love should give TCU plenty to work with in the 400 meters as all three competed at the 2009 NCAA Championships as members of the menʼs 4x400. Guy came on late in the year to finish fourth overall at the MWC Outdoor Championships in the 200 meters with a personal-best and regional qualifying time of 21.04 seconds. He also collected runner-up honors at the conference championships in the 400 meters with a seasonal-best time of 47.06 seconds. Henry battled through injuries last season to finish fifth overall at the MWC Championships in the 400 meters with a time of 48.04 seconds. He is finally healthy and should once again push for All-America honors this winter.
Love, who clocked a personal-best time of 46.19 seconds at the Midwest Regional in preliminary action of the 400 meters, returns after being a key member of the men's 4x400 that placed fifth overall at the Penn Relays with a seasonal-best time of 3:04.87 seconds. Newcomer Charles Silmon should also play a major role in TCUʼs sprints this winter after earning All-America honors at Waco High School. On the womenʼs side, head coach Darryl Anderson heads into the 2010 indoor season with plenty of talent on the womenʼs side. With Jessica Young sitting out this indoor season after earning runner-up accolades in the womenʼs 100 meters last spring, Kristal Juarez will lead a young group of sprinters into the winter campaign. Juarez finished third overall in the women's 400 meters at the Mountain West Conference Championships, blazing to a personal-best time of 52.96 seconds to cross the finish line in third-place with the program's fourth-fastest time ever. 2009 All-American Hayley Shade also returns this winter and should help the Flyinʼ Frogs in the womenʼs 400 meters after placing fourth overall at the Mountain West Conference Indoor Championships in the 400 meters. Look for newcomers Teneshia Peart and Chaniqua Corinealdi to make an immediate impact this winter. Peart captured the Junior College National Championship in the women's 60 and 200 meters at Florissant Valley Community College in Florissant, Mo., while Corinealdi, who graduated early from Shoemaker High School in Killeen, earned runner-up honors in the 200 meters at the Texas State 5A meet as a junior. Relays The menʼs 4x100 should be in solid hands with both Dungey and Barnes returning, but will look to replace graduating seniors Otis McDaniel and Justyn Warner. The relays should once again be a major factor for TCU this winter as the Frogs return everyone on the menʼs side in the 4x400. The returning conference championship 4x400 relay unit, turned in a fifth-place finish with a regional qualifying and seasonal-best time of 3:04.87 seconds at the Penn Relays. They also competed at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 4x400. TRACK & FIELD | WWW.GOFROGS.COM

2010 SEASON OUTLOOK
On the womenʼs side, TCUʼs 4x100 returns only Kristal Juarez off a unit that qualified for the NCAA Championships. With Jessica Young sitting out this season and Jessica Clarke and Kishelle Paul graduating, TCU will have to rely on several newcomers early during the outdoor season.
Larissa Matthews and Emily Hanna should give the Flyin' Frogs plenty of talent in the hurdles this winter as both bring impressive resumes into this indoor season. Matthews ranked in the top 10 in the country in the 100-meter hurdles during her high school career, while Hanna was a multiple state champion in the hurdles.
In the 4x400, Juarez and Hayley Shade return, but the Flyinʼ Frogs will have to find solid replacements for Paul and Young if they want to repeat their fourth-place All-American performance from a year ago.
Sade' Shari St. Louis, who transferred to TCU from South Carolina, could make an immediate impact for the Flyin' Frogs in the sprints this winter. St. Louis, who was a four-time National Junior Champion, also competed at the IAAF World Junior Championships in Beijing before her freshman season at South Carolina.
Newcomers With plenty of experience returning, the Flyin' Frog men will welcome the addition of high school All-American's Charles Silmon and Cameron Tabor. Silmon, a freshman from Waco, ranked in the top 10 in the country during the 2009 season and was a two-time All-American honoree. He closed his high school career winning the 100 meters at the Texas state meet. Tabor, who hails from Norman, Okla., collected Track and Field News All-American accolades following his senior season. Overall, Tabor, who was a two-time Nike All-American honoree in the discus and shot put, was a three-time state champion in the shot put and four-time state champion in the discus. He currently holds the Oklahoma state record holder in the shot put with a toss of 64 feet, 10 ½ inches and posted the second-best throw in the nation in the discus and the fifth-best toss in the country in the shot during his senior season. On the women's side, TCU will boast plenty of talented newcomers this winter. Both Quinterra Charles and Unique Connor could have immediate impacts in the sprints after solid high school careers. Charles, who was a four-time district champion, collected fourth-place in the 400 meters at the Texas State Championships, while Connor won the Nevada state championship in the 400 meters twice. Late additions Teneshia Peart and Chaniqua Corinealdi give TCU plenty of firepower in the sprints as well. Peart has posted personal-best times of 7.41 seconds in the 60, 11.61 seconds in the 100 and 23.87 in the 200 meters. Corinealdi has clocked personal-best times of 7.63 seconds in the 60, 11.84 seconds in the 100 and 23.84 seconds in the 200 meters.

TRACK & FIELD | TCU MEDIA GUIDE
In the throws, Sara Talley and Kelsey Samuels will provide TCU with plenty of young talent during the 2010 season. Talley collected the 4A Georgia State Championship in the shot put, while Samuels placed third in the shot put at the 2009 Texas Relays and was ranked No. 11 nationally amongst seniors in the shot put with a throw of 46 feet, 9 1/2 inches. Samantha Collins should help the Flyin' Frogs in the multi-events as she was ranked nationally in both the long jump and heptathlon during her high school career. She posted the second-best senior heptathlon score in the nation with 4,669 points and should soften the departure of school record holder Meaghan Peoples who graduated last spring. In the distance events, look for Agnes Kemboi, Rose Tanui, Tricia Terry and Katie Dalton to have solid indoor seasons after gaining valuable experience this fall for the cross country program. Tanui comes to TCU from Central Arizona College where she claimed the Junior College National Championship in cross country in 2008 before earning runner-up honors this past fall to lead the Vaqueras to the NJCAA Cross Country National Championship. Tanui, who hails from Burt Forest, Kenya, also claimed national championship accolades in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters at Central Arizona in 2009. She has posted personal-best times of 16:54.04 in the 5,000 and 34:34.61 in the 10,000.

TRACK & FIELD | TCU MEDIA GUIDE
This past spring, the Flyin' Frogs had three student-athletes and one relay named United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-Americans following the 2009 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Fayetteville, Ark. Jessica Young garnered her fourth All-America award of her career by crossing the finish line in second-place in the 100 meters at nationals. Young collected second-place honors with a time of 11.22 seconds. Her second-place finish in the 100 tied Flyin' Frog great Beverly McDonald for the highest finish ever by a TCU sprinter in the women's 100 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. By collecting runner-up honors, Young posted the highest finish by a Flyin' Frog woman in head coach Darryl Anderson's six years in Fort Worth. Neidra Covington also collected All-America honors following an eighth-place performance in the women's triple jump, while freshman Whitney Gipson posted her first All-America showing in Fayetteville in the women's long jump. She was the only freshman in the nation to make the finals in the long jump at the NCAA Championships. Finally, the men's 4x100, which consisted of Mark Barnes, Otis McDaniel, Mychal Dungey and Justyn Warner, picked up All-America recognition by clocking a time of 39.50 seconds to finish in eighth-place in Fayetteville. Overall, the AllAmerica honor for the men's 4x100 marked the third time under Anderson that a TCU men's 4x100 unit has received All-America status. At the regional level in 2009, Anderson helped Kishelle Paul claim the regional championship in the women's 400-meter hurdles for the second-consecutive season to lead the then No. 25 ranked Flyin' Frog women to a fourth-place finish on the final day of the 2009 NCAA Midwest Regional. Overall, the Flyin' Frogs sent a good nucleus to nationals with nine individuals and three relays competing in competition in Fayetteville. During the conference outdoor championships, TCU posted 23 NCAA regional qualifying marks, won 10 of 28 events and set seven new complex records to conclude action at the 2009 Mountain West Conference Championships. Both the men and women earned runner-up honors. Following the conference meet in which several Frogs were crowned conference champions, TCU had 20 student-athletes named to the Mountain West Conference Men's and Women's Outdoor Track and Field team. With Anderson's tutelage, the Flyin' Frog women closed the NCAA Indoor meet in 22nd-place. The 22nd-place finish was the programs highest finish on the women's side at the NCAA Indoors since 1983. In the women's 60 meters, Young captured All-America honors by crossing the finish line in fourth-place with a time of 7.27 seconds. By clocking a fourth-place finish, Young posted the highest finish ever in the women's 60 meters for a Flyin' Frog at the NCAA Indoor Championships. The women's 4x400 also clocked a fourth-place finish, which was the highest finish clocked by a women's 4x400 at the NCAA Indoor Championships in program history. In 2008, Anderson was named 2008 Indoor South Central Regional Coach of the Year, while also being honored as the Mountain West Conference Women's Coach of the Year. In 2008, Anderson guided the Flyin' Frog women to its first Mountain West Conference Indoor Championship, winning
its first conference title since 2004. The men also had a banner indoor season in which they placed 12th at the NCAA Championships, which was the fourth highest finish in program history at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships. Highlights at nationals included, Virgil Hodge placing seventh overall in the women's 200 meters to earn All-America honors for the sixth-time of her career and Covington securing two All-America certificates in both the long and triple jump. On the men's side, the 4x400 relay blazed to a runner-up performance to lead the TCU men. The unit consisting of Che Chavez, Dell Guy, Clemore Henry and Matthew Love earned runner-up honors by clocking a seasonal-best time of 3:06.19 seconds. During the 2008 outdoor season, Anderson guided the Flyin' Frogs 4x400 units to the Penn Relays 4x400 title. The men's unit collected TCU's first title since 2000 and only the second 4x400 title in TCU's prestigious history at the Penn Relays. Not to be outdone, the women's 4x400 unit of Jessica Clarke, Shekila Wilkinson, Meaghan Peoples and Kishelle Paul won the college division of the 4x400 in Philadelphia. At the 2008 Mountain West Conference Outdoor Championships in Fort Worth, the Flyin' Frogs posted 25 NCAA regional qualifying marks, won 15 of the 27 events, set a new St. Kitts national record and recorded two new meet records on the final day of competition. Kishelle Paul also had a stellar outing at the Midwest Regional as she claimed the regional championship in the women's 400-meter hurdles. Her time at that point was ranked in the top-10 of the NCAA. The Flyin' Frogs put the final touches on the 2008 season in Des Moines, Iowa at the NCAA Championships. Under Anderson, TCU had five different individuals collect All-America certificates at Drake Stadium: Joe Brown (Javelin), Mychal Dungey (200 Meters and 4x100), and the men's 4x100 unit consisting of Justyn Warner, Dungey, Andon Mitchell and Otis McDaniel. In the summer of 2008, Anderson helped Virgil Hodge make it to the quarterfinals in both the 100 and 200 at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. In 2007, Anderson had seven individuals and all four relay teams compete at the outdoor championships, while one individual and one relay team qualified at the indoor championships. At the 2007 outdoor championships, TCU was one of just six schools in the country that had all four relay teams compete. In fact, TCU and LSU are the only schools in the country to have had all four relay teams qualify for the NCAAOutdoor Championships each of the past three seasons (2005, 2006, 2007). Individually in his third year at the helm, TCU's 11 All-America honors were broken down between seven student-athletes. The women's team earned 10 of the honors, while the men's team was represented by Jonathan Jackson. In its second season in the Mountain West Conference, TCU once again displayed its strength at the conference meet with 15 event titles. TCU had 16 individuals named to the All-Mountain West Conference Outdoor team. The women's team placed second and the men finished fourth at the outdoor championships in San Diego, Calif. In 2006, Anderson coached an NCAA Champion, had 13 athletes earn AllAmerica honors and coached 18 athletes to conference titles. Between indoor and outdoor, TCU won 25 event titles. The program was also represented well at the NCAA Championships. At the NCAA Indoor Championships, Jackson Langat won the NCAA title in the 800 meters to give TCU its first individual title since Kim Collins won the 60 meters and 200 meters at the 2001 NCAA Indoor Championships. Anderson's immediate impact has been most felt in relays, where he has coached seven relay teams to All-America status. In 2006, the men's 4x400

relay team of Lewis Banda, Quincy Butler, Otis McDaniel and Jackson Langat placed eighth at the NCAA Indoor Championships. At the NCAA Outdoor Championships, TCU had three relay team's earn All-America honors. The men's 4x400 relay team of Che Chavez, Delwayne Delaney, Jackson Langat and Lewis Banda placed second, while the men's 4x100 relay team of Bradley Reed, McDaniel, Justyn Warner and Banda finished fourth. On the women's side, the 4x400 relay team of Deborah Jones, Marquita Davis, Kishelle Paul and Nathandra John placed seventh and the 4x100 relay team qualified for the prelims. Following the season, TCU earned a lofty honor from Track and Field News, which tabbed TCU as the country's top men's relay team for the 2006 season. In addition to the four relay teams that qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships, TCU had 13 individuals qualify - six men and seven women. Including the four relays, TCU was represented in 17 events. Qualifying on the men's side was Banda (400 meters), Jonathan Jackson (triple jump), Kip Kangogo (5000 meters), Tommy Killen (discus), Langat (800 meters) and McDaniel (100 and 200 meters). Qualifying on the women's side was Julie Curtis (400-meter hurdles), M. Davis (400 meters), Hodge (100 and 200 meters), John (400 meters), D. Jones (400 meters), J. Jones (200 meters) and Calandra Stewart (1500 meters). In his first season, Anderson made an immediate impact by sending TCU's women's 4x400 relay team to the NCAA Outdoor Championships for the first time in school history, as the quartet of Marquita Davis, Deborah Jones, Donita Harmon and Nathandra John garnered All-America honors at the national meet. In addition, the Frogs had three individuals represent the school on the women's side in Harmon (200m), John (400m), and MaKeatha Cooper (100m hurdles). In the summer of 2006 Anderson had three current Frogs perform well on the international stage. Justyn Warner placed second for Canada in the 100 meters at the IAAF Junior Championships, while Otis McDaniel claimed gold in the 200 at the NACAC Under 23 Track & Field Championships and Virgil Hodge placed second in the 200 and third in the 100 at the Central American and Caribbean Games. Anderson's 2005 campaign saw the Flyin' Frogs claim several event titles en route to setting new school records. The women's 4x100 and 4x400
relay teams both captured gold at the C-USA Outdoor Championships with the 4x4 squad of M. Davis, D. Jones, Harmon and John breaking the meet and the Lewis/Tellez Track Complex stadium record (3:34.82). The same foursome also took the title in the same relay event at the conference indoor meet in February. The men's team found success on the track. Kip Kangogo was the most decorated athlete in 2005 as he collected six gold medals, including the distance medley relay that included Johnathan Bundren, Quincy Butler and Jackson Langat. Kangogo took first place in the 3000m, 5000m and one mile at the C-USA Indoor Championships, and captured two more at the conference outdoor meet in the 3000m and 5000m events. His time in the outdoor 5000m (13:47.11) set a new school record. Bradley Reed picked up his first career gold in the 100 meters (10.46) at the C-USA Outdoor Championships, while Langat added another shining medal to his collection at the same conference meet as he posted a 1:47.38 for top honors in the 800 meters. The men's 4x400 meter relay unit captured gold in the CUSA Outdoor Championships as the foursome of Butler, Jacob Hernandez, Langat and Brett Wilson turned in a time of 3:05.70. Prior to coming to TCU, Anderson spent eight seasons at Arizona State, directing the sprints, hurdles and relay events for the Sun Devils. A mentor of over 50 All-Americans in his 20-year coaching career, including 21 at ASU, Anderson has guided 14 relays to All-America honors (men's 4x100 - three times; men's 4x400 - five times; women's 4x400 - five times; women's 4x100 - one time). Anderson was honored as the 2004 MONDO Men's National Assistant Coach of the Year for men's sprints and hurdles, as he guided five men and five women to a combined 15 All-America honors. His men's 4x100m relay team logged the fastest time in the nation during the 2004 campaign and garnered national runner-up honors. The ASU men's 4x400 meter relay unit captured its fourth straight Pac-10 title and placed fourth nationally. The Sun Devil men's relays swept both the Pac-10 and NCAA West Region titles, while the women swept the relays at the regional meet. During the indoor season, his men's mile relay unit turned in the fastest collegiate time ever at 3:03.43 on the 300-meter track at Iowa State. On the women's side, freshman Jackie Johnson won the NCAA heptathlon title during the outdoor season and was the indoor pentathlon runner-up, while the 4x400 meter relay unit garnered All-America honors during the outdoor
season. Anderson mentored several individual standouts during his tenure in the Valley of the Sun, including sprinters Marcus Brunson and Lewis Banda. Brunson, the 2001 Pac-10 Athlete of the Year, broke the collegiate indoor 60-meter record and was the NCAA runner-up in that event in 1999. After graduating from ASU, Brunson won the 100m gold medal at the 2001 World University Games. Banda was a three-time All-American in 2004 and an Olympic semifinalist in the 400m dash while competing for Zimbabwe. In 2004, two Anderson-coached 400-meter men sprinters clocked under 45 seconds (44.58 & 44.82), while a female quartermiler turned in a best time of 51.67. Prior to his arrival in Tempe, Anderson served as an assistant at Kentucky where the Wildcats won 11 Southeastern Conference sprint titles and set 34 school records. In the process, 15 Wildcat sprinters earned All-America honors. Anderson's most decorated student-athlete was UK's Tim Harden, a 1996 Olympic silver medalist who won three NCAA sprint titles. Harden was selected as the NCAA Indoor and SEC Athlete of the Year in 1995 and 1996. More recently, Harden won the 60m title at the 2001 World Indoor Championships. Prior to his stint in Lexington, Anderson was an assistant coach for six years at his alma mater, Kansas State University. Anderson led the Wildcats to 20 Big Eight sprint titles and seven conference records. Nine of his athletes earned All-America acclaim and 26 school records were set during his tenure. Anderson has coached five Olympians (Arnold Payne, Dwight Phillips, Connie Teaberry, Lewis Banda and Tim Harden), several World Championship team members and several USA Junior team members, including Otis McDaniel (2005 PanAm Junior Champion in the 200m) and former Sun Devil Tony Berrian (the 1997 400m junior national champion). Anderson also coached Justyn Warner (2006 IAAF runner-up in the 100m) and Virgil Hodge (2006 runner-up in the 200 and third in the 100 at the Central American and Caribbean Games) to top finishes on the international stage. In 1995, Anderson was selected to the South coaching staff at the Olympic Festival. Anderson graduated from Kansas State in 1983 and earned his master's degree from the school in 1985. He and his wife, Claire, have a 21-year old daughter, Kandace, an 12-year old son, Isiah, and a eight-year old daughter, Jasmine.

For the second-consecutive year, sophomore Stormy Harrison crushed the women's shot put field, claiming the event-title with a new complex and seasonal-best throw of 52 feet, 6 ¾ inches. She closed out the season competing at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Fayetteville, Ark. On the men's side at the conference level, Tommy Killen captured the 2009 Mountain West Conference discus title at the MWC Outdoor Championships. By winning the event-title, Killen, a junior from Louisiana, became the first Horned Frog in program history to claim first-place honors in the men's discus at a conference championship. Finally, senior Candis Kelley put a close to one of the most impressive indoor careers in Mountain West Conference history, winning the women's shot put for the fourth-straight year with an NCAA provisional toss of 50 feet, 2 ¾ inches. By doing so, Kelley became the first female student-athlete in MWC history to win the women's shot put title fourstraight years. Harrison earned runner-up honors in the event with an NCAA provisional toss of 50 feet. In 2008, Kenneson guided Candis Kelley, who claimed her third-straight MWC indoor shot put title during the winter, to the women's shot title at the 81st annual Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays. Two weeks later, Kelley became only the second female in TCU history to win the title at the historic Penn Relays. Freshman Stormy Harrison won the women's shot put title at the conference outdoor meet with the second longest throw in Mountain West Conference Championship history. The Cisco natives throw of 52 feet, 2 ½ inches, set a new Lowdon Track and Field Complex record. Harrison, who recorded the longest-throw in the nation by an American freshman in 2008, crushed the school discus record by tossing 160 feet, 2 inches on her third throw to fin-
ish fifth overall in the event at the John Jacobs Invite. Tommy Killen had another stellar 2008 season under Kenneson's tutiledge. During the indoor season, he placed third overall in the shot at the Mountain West Conference Indoor Championships. Killen had an amazing string during the outdoor season in which he won five of six competitions in the men's discus. At the John Jacobs Invite, Killen won the men's discus in Norman, tossing a career best mark of 192 feet, 10 inches, which was an NCAA regional qualifying mark. His throw broke Jordan Reynold's previous school record. Killen's toss was one inch off the Olympic Trials standard. In the men's javelin under Kenneson's watch, senior Joe Brown closed his MWC career in winningfashion, taking the title on his last attempt in competition. Overall, Brown blasted a throw of 221 feet, 7 inches to become only the second Horned Frog ever to win a conference crown in the javelin, and the first since Wes Ritchey won the Southwest Conference in 1954. At the Midwest Regional, Brown qualified for the NCAA Championships by crushing his own school record in the men's javelin. Brown, a senior from Overland Park, Kan., recorded a fifth-place finish by tossing the javelin 224 feet to break his previous school record of 222 feet, 5 inches set in 2006. Finally, Brown earned All-America honors by tossing the javelin 211 feet, 9 inches to place 10th overall at the NCAA Championships. By doing so Brown, who was named the 2008 Mountain West Conference Student-Athlete of the Year, became the first TCU athlete ever to be named an All-American in the javelin. Kenneson has spent the bulk of his career in the highly-competitive SEC. He came to Fort Worth from Lexington, Kentucky, where he served as an assistant track & field coach at the University of Kentucky for 11 of the past 12 years. While at UK, Kenneson coached his athletes to 23 All-America certificates, 28 school records and logged eight national top 20 finishes. Overall, his athletes have garnered 41 All-America certificates. His only previous stint outside the SEC came when he led the field and multi-events program for both men and women at North Carolina State University as an assistant coach from 1985-86. Kenneson compiled an impressive portfolio with two ACC men's team championships, 11 All- ACC women athletes and 13 All-ACC men's performances, while establishing 10 school records during his two-year tenure in Raleigh. Kenneson joined the staff at the University of Florida in 1986, holding the position of head field
and multi-events coach. While at Florida he assembled one of the most competitive and productive field events programs in the history of the SEC and NCAA track & field. With shot putters Dwight Johnson and Matt Simson owning personal bests of 660 and 63-3, Russ Willett claiming a best discus throw of 197-11, Tom Pukstys throwing the javelin 273-3, Mike Holloway vaulting 18-8 3/4 and Dion Bentley long jumping 26-9, Kenneson's corps of field event athletes led the Gators to seven "Top Five" finishes in the NCAA Championships. With Kenneson on board, the Gators won the SEC Triple Crown (cross country, indoor and outdoor track) in both 1987 and 1988. During the 1991-92 seasons, three Kenneson-coached athletes teamed up to form the top three shot putters in the NCAA. Simson went on to win a silver medal at the World University Games in 1992. Another world-class athlete, Tom Pukstys, to whom Kenneson also coached, is a former American and current collegiate record holder in the javelin (273-3) and was a finalist at the 1992 and 1996 Olympics. Pukstys held the American record from 1994-2004 before Breaux Greer set the new mark with a throw of 287-8 in 2004. Kenneson joined the Kentucky staff in 1992 and began to build a nationally-regarded field events program from scratch. Two of Kentucky's All-Americans were U.S. Junior National Team members and another, Matt Kavanagh, was the gold medalist in the hammer throw at the 1997 Junior Pan America Games. He spent one year at Auburn University (1997-98) before returning to Kentucky the following year. While at Auburn in 1998, Kenneson helped Nakeitra Jones set the SEC women's high jump record with a leap of 6'-05". Under Kenneson's tutelage at Kentucky, Jeff Chakouian was the only collegian shot putter to reach the finals of the 2004 United States Olympic Trials. Chakouian was the UK record holder in the shot with a mark of 66-3, was the Southeast Regional champion and finished third at the 2004 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Chakouian is also one of only three SEC athletes to ever win four consecutive SEC indoor titles. Chakouian was only beaten outdoors by current Olympians Reese Hoffa (Georgia) and Edis Elkavis (Auburn). Kenneson also coached Ildiko Varga, who placed seventh in the women's discus throw at the 2004 NCAA Championships. Kenneson is a member of the National Throws Coaches Association, and the NCAA Track Coaches Association. He is also a certified personal trainer.

TCU CHANCELLOR
Dr. Victor
BOSCHINI CHANCELLOR | SINCE 2003
As Chancellor of Texas Christian University since 2003, Dr. Victor J. Boschini, Jr., has had the privilege of leading the university through an extraordinary period. TCU has made unprecedented investments in scholarships, facilities and technology, academic programs, and new faculty and staff, all for one purpose: providing a world-class, values-centered university experience for TCUʼs almost 9,000 students. Reflecting his background in higher education administration and the familiarity with undergraduates that comes from teaching a class in the College of Education each year, Chancellor Boschini knows itʼs a 24/7 world for this generation of Horned Frogs. And heʼs determined that TCU maximizes all the opportunities for learning. Thatʼs why the new Campus Commons is open day and night. With four residence halls, the Brown-Lupton University Union, and soon-to be-completed Scharbauer Hall, an academic facility, the Commons is becoming the center of a vibrant social, cultural and intellectual life for students, faculty and staff. The Campus Commons concept grew from Vision in Action, a major strategic planning effort Dr. Boschini launched soon after becoming TCUʼs 10th chancellor. Among the results of Vision in Action are 10 new living/learning facilities opened in recent years; significant increases in scholarships and financial aid funds; the addition of a substantial number of faculty and instructional positions, resulting in a low 15:1 student/faculty ratio; several endowed chairs and professorships; and the creation of the John V. Roach Honors College. Underwriting these achievements is The Campaign for TCU, which has raised more than $203 million, 81 percent of its $250 million goal. Chancellor Boschini maintains a high profile in the world of higher education. Last year, as chair of the Board of Directors of the National Association of Independent Colleges & Universities (NAICU), he advocated for 1,000 independent colleges and universities across the nation. As past chair, he continues his work for NAICU, which is often described as “the voice of private higher education.” Chancellor Boschini is also past chair of the Mountain West Conferenceʼs Executive Board and is a member of the Independent Colleges and Universities of Texas (ICUT). In spite of these responsibilities, the Chancellor teaches an honors course, A New Paradigm for Leadership, in the College of Education. Itʼs a natural fit since he not only holds the rank of professor of education, but also brings an extensive background in higher education administration to the classroom. Since TCU is Fort Worthʼs “home team,” the Chancellor takes an active role in as many community ventures as possible. He serves on the board of directors of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra and the Van Cliburn Foundation. Chancellor Boschini and his wife Megan have given TCU two Horned Frogs: Elizabeth, a 2009 graduate, and Mary, a sophomore. Future Frogs Edward and Margaret attend All Saints Episcopal School.

Del Conte also secured a marketing sponsorship and broadcast rights contract for Rice and maintained a focus on student-athlete academic achievement, resulting in numerous public recognition awards from the NCAA for the academic progress rate of student-athletes. “We conducted a thorough national search, reviewed numerous résumés and ultimately found a stellar professional with the expertise and background to continue guiding our athletic program toward excellence,” said TCU Chancellor Victor J. Boschini, Jr. “Christopher has extensive experience and proven ability in collegiate athletics and academic administration. He has successfully served in leadership positions in athletic programs throughout the country and guided the development of strategic partnerships, negotiated and managed key contracts, advanced student-athlete academic achievement, and ensured that athletics remained integrated with the strategic direction of each university he served.” “I am thrilled to be appointed TCUʼs athletics director,” said Del Conte. “Athletics plays a vital role in the entire university experience and as such, it must remain an integral part of TCUʼs strategic direction. Doing so enhances and supports not only the student-athlete experience but also the collegiate experience of all TCU students. This program enjoys invaluable community involvement and support, has a history of excellence steeped in tradition and continues building its reputation on a national level. I look forward to carrying forward the great momentum that is clearly visible throughout the TCU athletic program.”

NORMAN, Okla. - Kishelle Paul claimed the regional championship in the women's 400-meter hurdles to lead the No. 25 ranked Flyin' Frog women to a fourthplace finish on the final day of the 2009 NCAA Midwest Regional.

Paul, a senior from Georgia, posted a seasonal-best time of 58.00 seconds to win her second-consecutive Midwest Regional title. By winning the event, the three-time All-American became the first TCU female student-athlete to win a regional in back-to-back years.

By finishing second overall, Covington not only qualified for the 2009 NCAA Championships, but posted the Flyin' Frogs highest finish ever in the women's triple jump at the NCAA Midwest Regional.

SEASON RECAP
FORT WORTH, Texas - The hard work in the classroom by the 2008 TCU women's cross country program was recognized by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) as the organization named the squad a 2008 NCAA Division I Women's All-Academic Team.
FORT WORTH, Texas - Based on their most recent multi-year Academic Progress Rates, the TCU men's cross country and women's tennis teams have earned NCAA Public Recognition Awards. These awards are given each year to teams scoring in the top 10 percent in each sport with their APRs.
TCU, who made the list with a 3.310 GPA, recently had 12 cross country student-athletes make the 2008 Fall Academic All-MWC Team.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester or quarter by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete. The APR includes eligibility, retention, and graduation in the calculation and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport.
For a team to be considered for the USTFCCCA AllAcademic Team award, they must have competed and compiled a team score at an NCAA Regional Meet. The team must also have a minimum 3.00 team cumulative grade point average.
High-performing teams receiving public recognition awards this year posted APR scores ranging from 976 to a perfect 1,000, said NCAA President Myles Brand. "The vast majority of sports teams are performing very well academically and exceeding the 925 threshold for their APR scores," Brand said. "Nearly 800 of these teams are worthy of special attention, and I commend them for their excellence in academics and athletics." A total of 205 institutions, out of 331 Division I colleges and universities, placed at least one team on the top APR list. TCU's cross country team was the only Mountain West Conference representative from that sport, while the Frogs' joined UNLV and New Mexico as women's tennis honorees.
FORT WORTH, Texas - Jeff Pels led a group of three Horned Frogs that finished in the top five, as the TCU men's cross country team took home first-place honors at the first annual TCU Cross Country Season Opener. The men's squad totaled 37 points, while the Frog women scored 42 points for a second-place team finish at Trinity River. Pels finished second overall, posting a time of 21:07.00 to earn his highest finish of his collegiate career. He was followed by sophomore Louis Tijerina who clocked a time of 21:19.00 to finish in third-place in the four-mile race. Douglas Moore, a freshman from Hinsdale, Ill., closed out the Frogs top five finishers, placing fifth with a time of 21:24.00. Ryan Dalrymple and Eric Senseman crossed the finish line in 11th and 16th overall, respectively, while freshman Richard Borchardt finished in 17th-place.
FORT WORTH, Texas - The TCU men and women's cross country team enters this weekend ranked in the top-10 of the South Central Region by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. The TCU women are currently ranked No. 8 in the South Central Region, while the men open at No. 9. Both rankings are the highest preseason ranking for the Horned Frogs under distance coach Shawn Winget. By capturing the team title at the season opening TCU Cross Country Season Opener, the Purple and White men brought home first-place honors for the first time under distance coach Shawn Winget. Junior Jeff Pels also made a little history in Fort Worth two weeks ago. Pels, a Coppell native, placed second overall, which marked the highest finish of his career in a TCU uniform.
Tricia Terry, a freshman from McAllen, was the top finisher among the TCU contingent in the women's twomile. She placed third overall with a time of 11:37.00, just ahead of fellow freshman Katie Dalton who recorded a time of 11:45.00 for a fifth-place showing.

They had a good day overall and I am pleased with their effort," said distance coach Shawn Winget. "We had some improvement with our men, but we really missed Jeff Pels today.

RELAY HISTORY AN UNMATCHED LEGACY IN RELAYS A tradition rarely matched in the sprints and relays. TCU offers nothing less. And the proof is on paper and in the history books. TCU, the little school in Fort Worth, has produced more NCAA Championships in the 400-meter relay than any other school over the last 31-plus years. It all started modestly with a fifth-place finish by the mile relay at the 1973 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Since then, TCU has gradually developed into a force to be reckoned with in collegiate track & field as the school has produced five NCAA Outdoor national champions in the 4x100-meter relay over the last 20 years. TCU also has produced three individual national champions. Raymond Stewart won two outdoor 100-meter crowns, an indoor 55-meter dash title, and ran on two 400-meter relay championship units. Kim Collins won indoor titles at 60 and 200 meters and anchored the winning 4x100-meter relay team during the outdoor season. TCU has finished among the top 10 in the menʼs team standings at the NCAA Outdoor Championships 13 times since 1983. Five times (1986, 1987, 1989, 1991 and 1995) the Horned Frogs have placed in the top five, including a second-place finish (1993), a third-place finish (1988) and a pair of fourth-place finishes (1992 and 1996). They added a fourth-place finish in the 2000 NCAA Indoor Championships and came back with a second-place finish in the 2001 and 2008 Indoor Championships. In 2009, the womenʼs 4x400 quartet consisting of Hayley Shade, Kishelle Paul, Jessica Clarke and Jessica Young collected fourthplace honors with a time of 3:36.51. The fourth-place finish was the highest finish posted by a women's 4x400 at the NCAA Indoor Championships in program history. Throughout a history spanning back to the 1930s, TCU track has produced numerous individual All-Americans and All-American relay units. And those honorees have not been limited to the sprints. In 1998, Khadevis Robinson won the 800-meter title at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Other All-Americans include 800-meter William Maru (1989-1990), middle distance runner Eliud Njubi (2001), shot putters Jordan Reynolds (1990 and 1992) and Stevanie Wadsworth (1992-1993), javelin thrower Joe Brown (2008), triple jumpers Jonathan Jackson (2007) and Whitney Gipson (2009-Present) and long jumpers Aundre Edwards (2002-04), Neidra Covington (2007-Present) and Cleavon Dillon (2002-04).

Tony Allen is one of several athletes who were both track and football greats at TCU. He had a smooth running style that helped him establish school records in the 200 meters (20.10) in 1987 and the indoor 400 meters (46.67) in 1988. Allen is forever etched in the Southwest Conference record books for his efforts in the indoor 400 meters.
Despite being on the TCU campus for just one season after transferring from Arizona State, Lewis Banda did more in his time in one season than many do in their entire careers.
Brown closed out his career as a Flyinʼ Frog by being named the 2007-08 Mountain West Conference Male Student-Athlete of the Year.
Banda earned five All-America certificates and set the school record in the indoor and outdoor 400 meters.
Allen anchored the Frogs to a national collegiate dual-meet 4x400 meter relay mark when the team clocked a 3:02.74 at UCLA in 1986. He earned all-America honors on TCUʼs 4x400 meter relay unit, which finished third at the NCAA Championships in 1988.
A native of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, Banda earned three of his five AllAmerica honors during the outdoor season. At the Outdoor NCAA Championships, Banda finished fourth in the 400 meters with a time of 45.10. He also anchored the 4x400 relay team that placed second with a time of 3:02.12 and 4x100 team that finished fourth with a mark of 39.19.
A walk-on to the Horned Frogs' track and field team as a freshman in 2004-05, Brown won the men's javelin title at the 2008 MWC Outdoor Track and Field Championship, while also earning AllAmerican honors with a 10th-place finish in the javelin at the 2008 NCAA Men's Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
At the Indoor NCAA Championships, Banda earned All-America honors in the 400 meters by placing third with a time of 45.85. Banda was also a member of the 4x400 relay team that placed eighth with a time of 3:08.82. Banda set the school record in the indoor 400 with a time of 45.67 and the outdoor 400 with a time of 45.10. In addition to his All-America honors, Banda won conference titles in the indoor 400, indoor 4x400 relay and outdoor 400. In 2008, Banda qualified for the Olympics in Beijing, but had to pull out of competition because of an injury.
In recognition of his academic and athletic accomplishments, he was selected as the 2008 Dutch Meyer Male Scholar Athlete of the Year and was honored with the 2008 Chancellor's Award, two of the highest academic accolades presented to a TCU studentathlete. Overall, the Overland Park, Kan., native, had an outstanding senior season in the men's javelin, collecting All-America honors by tossing the javelin 211 feet, 9 inches to place 10th overall. Brown became the first TCU athlete ever to be named an All-American in the javelin. The finish by Brown was also the best by a TCU javelin thrower at the NCAA Championships. At the Mountain West Conference Championships, Brown closed his MWC career in winning-fashion, taking the title on his last attempt in competition. Overall, he blasted a throw of 221 feet, 7 inches to become only the second Horned Frog ever to win a conference crown in the javelin, and the first since Wes Ritchey won the Southwest Conference in 1954 TRACK & FIELD | WWW.GOFROGS.COM

Michael Cannon established the school record in the 400meters (45.14), a record that lasted from 1985 to 2004. Cannon was a two-time all-American and held four of the six swiftest 400-meter races ever by a Frog sprinter. He anchored the school-record indoor mile relay unit and was a member of the second fastest 4x400 meter team at TCU. Cannon helped the TCU indoor mile relay team to a Southwest Conference crown in 1984. He finished fifth in the 1985 NCAA Outdoor 400 meters, and then placed fourth the next year in the same race. Coach “Bubba” Thornton named him TCUʼs Outstanding Track athlete for 1985. He was a quarterfinalist at the 1984 U.S. Olympic Trials in the 400 meters. Cannon was a local product from Dallas South Oak Cliff High School. He was one of the most versatile runners in Texas with running times among the stateʼs leaders in the 100, 200 and 400 meters. He posted best times of 10.4 in the 100, 21.4 in the 200 and 46.2 in the 400.
Bill Collins is recognized as one of TCUʼs first great sprinters. The Mount Vernon, New York, native captured two Southwest Conference 100-yard titles in 1974 and 1975. He also won the 60-yard dash crown at the SWC Indoor Championship in 1975.
Johnny L. Collins II made a name for himself as both an outstanding leader and as the Western Athletic Conferenceʼs top quarter-miler. His duties included the open quarter and as anchor leg for the prolific 4x400 meter relay team during his four-year collegiate career.
The ʻFleet Frogʼ finished with career best marks of 9.3 seconds and 20.7 seconds in the 100 and 200 events respectively. He gained all-America recognition in the 60-yard dash (indoors) in 1974, and on the 4x100 meter relay team in 1975.
Collins was an outstanding dual sport athlete before stepping foot on the TCU campus. He played football and ran track at Fort Worthʼs Wyatt High School. He made an immediate impact for the Flyinʼ Frogs when he ran the anchor leg on TCUʼs 4x400 meter relay unit in both the indoor and outdoor seasons as a true freshman.
Collins played a key role on one of TCUʼs early great relay quartets that ran a conference record 3:18.9 in the 1975 indoor mile relay. He also aided the 1973 sprint relay that set a then-school record of 40.9. Collins still has not given up running and has remained active in agegroup track and field and has held several national age-group sprint marks. In 2006, Collins was named the USATF Masters Athlete of the Year. In 2003 he was inducted into the USA Track & Field Masters Hall of Fame. Collins owns more than 141 masters national titles, 33 world masters crowns and has set nearly 47 world records during his remarkable Masters career.

Kim Collins was able to establish himself as one of the top sprinters in TCU history in just two short years. The St. Kitts native took the long way to Fort Worth with a stop at Central Arizona College for two years before joining the Horned Frog sprinting stable.
Cleavon Dillon earned three All-America honors and was TCUʼs top long jumper and sprinter. Dillon earned All-America honors in 2003 and 2004 by running a leg on TCUʼs 4x100 team. His first All-America certificate came in the long jump in 2002.
Collins received six All-America certificates during his stint at TCU and won three NCAA titles (the 2001 indoor 60 and 200 meters and the 2001 outdoor 4x100 meter relay). He joined Raymond Stewart as the only Horned Frog athletes to capture two individual NCAA titles. He was a two-time recipient of the Outstanding Performer award at the Texas Relays.
He set the then-school record in the long jump during the indoor season of 2002 with a leap of 7.86m (25-09.50).
Collinsʼ defining moment as a Frog came in the finals of the 2001 NCAA 4x100 meter relay, where he took the final handoff trailing Leonard Scott by about two steps, but caught the Tennessee standout with about 50 meters to go and pulled away to give TCU the victory in a Hayward Field record time of 38.58. Collins represented St. Kitts in the 2004 Olympics in Athens and placed sixth in the 100 meter final. He has also made appearances at the 1996, 2000 and 2008 Olympics and in five World Track and Field Championships, including the 2003 meet held in Paris, France, where he captured the gold medal. He was a quarterfinalist in the 100 meters at the 1996 Olympic games in Atlanta and finished seventh in the 100 meters at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. He won the 100-meter dash at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. He recently represented TCU at the 12th Annual IAAF World Championships In Athletics in Berlin, Germany.

1989-1991 Jon Drummond closed out the decade as a world-class force on the international track & field circuit. Drummond is one of the better-known sprinters in U.S. track history. The former TCU great was a standout at the 1997 World Championships before a recurrence of spinal meningitis sidelined him for much of the 1999 season. He remarkably recovered to earn a spot on the gold medal winning 4x100 meter relay at the 1999 World Championships and captured Gold at the 2000 Olympic games in the 4x100 meter relay. He was also an entry for the USA in the 100 meters at the 1996 Olympic Games in addition to running a leg on the silver medallist 4x100-meter relay. A three-time all-American at TCU, Drummond still ranks as one of the fastest TCU sprinters ever. He posted a 10.03 clocking in the 100 meters in the 1991 NCAA Championships. He also blazed a 6.12 effort in the indoor 55 meters during his junior season of 1990, a time that still ranks third on TCUʼs all-time list. Drummond not only captured Southwest Conference and Penn Relays 100-meter titles in 1991 and also finished second in the 100 at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon. He anchored TCUʼs 4x100 meter relay to another NCAA title. Drummond fought recurring injuries while at TCU, but he ran a few times that pegged him as a real possibility. In 1990, he clocked a 10.10 100 meters. In 2008, Horatio Porter along with Carey Johnson, Ralston Wright and Drummond were honored as part of the 2008 Wall of Fame class at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia.

AUNDRE EDWARDS | FOUR-TIME ALL-AMERICAN
2001-2004 A four-time All-American, Aundre Edwards was one of the nationʼs top long jumpers during his four-year career, finishing in the top five in the nation in four NCAA events. A native of Kingston, Jamaica, Edwards showed signs of good things to come as a sophomore. He jumped 8.00 meters at the TCU Invitational, took home the bronze medal at the C-USA outdoor Championship with a jump of 7.64 meters and earned all-America honors with a fifth place finish in the long jump at the NCAA Outdoor National Championships, recording a mark of 7.85 meters. As a junior, Edwards established the school indoor record with a leap of 7.87 meters, a mark he would later shatter. He swept both the Conference USA indoor and outdoor titles, placed 11th at the NCAA Indoor meet and fourth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the long jump competition. He returned for his senior campaign in 2004 and swept the Conference USA long jump indoor and outdoor titles for the second straight year. He took a personal-best bronze medal at the national level in the 2004 NCAA Indoor Championships with a school record jump of 7.97 meters, then took fourth place at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field meet in June.
1980-1983 Phillip Epps came to TCU as a football player and performed eight years in the NFL for the Green Bay Packers and the Buffalo Bills as a wide receiver and return specialist before retiring from the sport in 1988. Epps made a name for himself at TCU in the short indoor events and the outdoor 200 meters. His 20.19 effort in the 200 was retired as the sixth fastest ever in that event for a SWC athlete. The Atlanta, Texas native raced to Southwest Conference 200meter crowns in both 1982 and 1983, plus he claimed the 60yard crown in 1983 (he recorded the six fastest times ever for a Horned Frog in that event). He ran the leadoff leg on the 1983 4x100 unit that won the SWC title. He was a three-time All-America honoree.

2001-2004 A seven-time All-American with a unique running style, Michael Frater followed in the footsteps of his brother, Lindel, and left as one of the top sprinters in school history. Michael earned his first all-America certificate as a sophomore in the indoor 60-meter dash and placed fourth at nationals in the 100-meters during the outdoor season. As a junior, Frater placed fifth at the NCAA Indoor meet in the 60, took the bronze medal in the 100 during the outdoor season and ran the anchor leg on the 4x1 relay unit that placed sixth. Frater earned the silver medal at the 2004 NCAA Championships in the 100 meter dash, missing the gold by just eightthousandths of a second. He anchored the Frogsʼ 4x100 relay unit which finished fourth in the nation. In 2008, Frater helped Jamaica break the world record and win gold in the men's 4x100 at the 2008 Olympics. In 2009, Frater captured a goal medal as a member of Jamaica's 4x100 relay at the 12th Annual IAAF World Championships. Frater, who ran the second leg of the relay, teamed with Nesta Carter, Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell to win the gold medal at National Stadium.
1998-1999 Jarmiene Holloway only showed glimpses of his potential while in Fort Worth, he was relatively unheralded at TCU despite producing some of the finest performances in school history during an injury-ridden two seasons as a Horned Frog. Holloway finished second in the 100-meter dash at the 1998 NCAA Outdoor Championship. He followed that with an impressive leg on the Frogsʼ record- shattering 4x100 meter relay. Jarmiene captured the WAC title in the 200 in 1998 and placed third in the same meet in the 100. He also participated on relay units which seven times ran sub-39 4x100s. Holloway continues to run on the professional circuit today and placed third at the USA Indoor Championships at 60 meters during the 2002 season.
1998-1999 Few sprinters have entered TCU with the credentials Bryan Howard brought to the Flyinʼ Frogs when he chose to transfer from Auburn during the winter of 1997. He was an NCAA indoor 55-meter champion for the Tigers. He came to TCU to be a part of the Horned Frogsʼ stable of sprinters and immediately became one of the finest in school history. Howardʼs legacy at TCU does not include a bevy of individual victories, but he did leave a mark on the program. He is arguably one of the finest leadoff men in TCUʼs incredibly rich history in the 4x100 meter relay. Howard led off TCU in seven different sub-39 second 4x100 performances over a two-year span, including the collegiate record setting 1998 NCAA Championship squad that exploded to a 38.04 performance in Buffalo, New York. He teamed up with Jermaine Holloway to lead TCUʼs 1999 unit to some startling early-season performances and clocked the nationʼs fastest time (38.64) by a collegiate team at the Texas Relays in April. Injuries nagged Howard during his final season and he pulled his hamstring during the final stretch of the 200 meters at the NCAA Championships in Boise, Idaho. Howardʼs times of 10.13 in the 100 and 19.1 best performances in Horned Frog history.
Overall, the unit clocked a world record time of 37.10 seconds. Frater just missed earning a medal in the men's 100-meter finals the 2008 Olympics. TRACK & FIELD | WWW.GOFROGS.COM

1989-1992 One of TCUʼs most prolific distance runners, Kip Kangogo won seven conference titles in just two years after transferring from BYU. In addition to his six conference titles, the Kabarnet, Kenya, native owns the school record in the 3000 meters (9:39.09), outdoor 5000 meters (13:47.11) and was a member of the distance medley relay team that set the outdoor school record with a time of 9:36.14. Kangogoʼs first four conference titles came at one meet, as he was named Athlete of the Meet at the 2005 Conference USA Indoor Championships. At the meet, he captured gold in the mile, 3000 meters, 5000 meters and as the anchor of the distance medley relay team. After sitting out the 2004 cross country and track seasons due to NCAA transfer rules, Kangogo qualified for the 2005 NCAA Cross Country Championships where he finished 33rd - just 2.8 seconds shy of All-America status. He also won the 2006 Mountain West Conference Indoor title in the 3000 meters and 2005 C-USA outdoor titles in the 1500 meters and 5000 meters.
In 2008, Kangogo was selected as part of the Mountain West Conference 10th Anniversary Men's Cross Country Team. The anniversary team was selected by a combined panel of media, institutional and conference personnel and on-line fan poll. In order to be eligible for consideration, candidates must have been a first team allMountain West selection at least once in their careers.
2003-2006 A highly-decorated middle-distance runner, Jackson Langat was an NCAA indoor 800-meter champion for TCU and earned seven All-America certificates in three years for the Horned Frogs. Langat became TCUʼs first indoor champion in the 800 meters in 2006 when he set a TCU indoor record with a time 1:47.02. In addition to his NCAA title in the 800, Langat earned All-America honors in the event three additional times - 2004 indoor, 2003 outdoor and 2003 indoor.

Leland was an all-Southwest Conference halfback on the Horned Frogsʼ 1929 unbeaten Southwest Conference championship team. His shining athletic moment probably came at the 1930 Kansas Relays when he tied the world record in the 100-yard dash in 9.4 seconds.
McDaniel closed out his senior season collecting All-America honors as a member of the men's 4x100 that placed eighth overall in Fayetteville, Ark., with a time of 39.50 seconds. A multiple conference champion, McDaniel earned four All-America honors while at TCU. Probably his biggest accomplishment during his stint in Fort Worth was that he won gold in the 200 at the NACAC Under 23 Track & Field Championships with a meetrecord time of 20.61. He was also the PanAm Junior Champion in the 200 meters and 4x100 relay.
Lelandʼs 1930 track season was filled with record-breaking performances. He started the season by setting TCU marks in the 100 (9.6) and 220-yard dash (21.5) at the Fat Stock Show Meet at TCU on March 15. Leland then gained regional notoriety by winning the 100 at the Drake Relays. He capped the year by breaking the 220-yard dash conference record at the Southwest Conference Championships in 20.9. He closed the season with a fourth-place 100 finish at the NCAA meet.
In 2008, he was part of the men's 4x100 unit that earned All-America honors by crossing the finish line in seventh-place with a time of 39.60 seconds. McDaniel had a solid outing at the MWC Championships as he won the conference title in the 200 meters with a seasonal best time of 20.60, while also posting runner-up honors in the 100 meters. Was a key component on both the sprint medley and 4x100 units during his four years in Fort Worth that ranked in the top-10 of the world and national standings nearly every season.
In football, Cy rushed for 100 yards four times during his career and three times during the 1929 season. A 173-yard outing against Abilene Christian in 1930, setting a TCU single-game rushing mark at the time, highlighted his career. In 1929, Leland led the nation while averaging 7.2 yards per attempt. His 93-yard punt return for a touchdown against Baylor in 1929 remains a TCU record.
During his sophomore campaign, McDaniel was named Outstanding Performer at the Mountain West Outdoor Championships. At the MWC, he won the 100 and 200 meters and was a member of the 4x100 relay team that won conference title He set the conference and meet record en route to winning the 200 meters at the MWC Outdoor Championships with a time of 20.35. He also won the 100 meters at the MWC Outdoor Championships with a time of 10.29
The most famous moment of his TCU athletic career came in Austin, Texas in 1929, when Leland took a kickoff and raced down the west sideline for a 95-yard touchdown that led to a 15-12 TCU win and the Frogsʼ first SWC football championship.
Finally, in 2005 McDaniel earned a spot on the U.S. Junior National team where he captured gold in the 200 meters at the Pan American Junior Championships with a 20.67 clocking.
The man who started TCUʼs sprinting tradition long ago was Texas native Cy Leland. Leland was a TCU immortal when he graduated in 1931.
1989-1992 Yet another local product from Fort Worth Polytechnic High School, Horatio Porter was a five-time all-America sprinter at TCU. En route, he ran the leadoff carry on the fastest NCAA 4x100 relay to that point — 38.23 seconds at the NCAA Championships in Indianapolis, Porter again handled the leadoff leg as the Flyinʼ Frogs won in 38.80 seconds. A two-time NCAA Outdoor qualifier in the 200 meters (he had a career PR of 20.40 in that event), Horatio captured both the 55 meters and the 200 at the 1992 SWC Indoor meet. In 2008, Porter along with Carey Johnson, Ralston Wright and Jon Drummond were honored as part of the 2008 Wall of Fame class at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia. Johnson, Wright, Drummond and Porter were part of a 4x100 relay team in 1991 that set a 10-year Penn Relays record, winning the event in 38.80 seconds. It was the first sub-39 college 4x100 at that time. The unit joins TCU's 1986 4x200 meter relay squad on the Wall of Fame.

A junior college all-American, he was perfect four-for-four in SWC championships, capturing the indoor 55 meter and outdoor 100 meter titles both his junior and senior years. His 10.07 clocking at the 1995 Southwest Conference meet ranked No. 8 all-time among the swiftest efforts by conference sprinters. Powell anchored the Frogsʼ to back-to-back 4x100 meter NCAA relay crowns in 1994 and 1995, and he fi nished third and second, respectively, in the 100- meter events at those national meets. Powell finished with five all-America awards at TCU. Powell continued his track career by competing professionally. He captured the gold medal at the U.S. Indoor Championships in the 60-meter dash. He also placed second in the same event at the World Indoors in 1999.
1988-1992 A two-time All-American in the shot put, Jordan Reynolds solidified himself as TCUʼs greatest male thrower despite competing at TCU when the program was largely just known for its sprints and relays. Reynolds owns the school record in the discus and both the indoor and outdoor records in the shot put. A native of Houston, Texas, Reynolds set the outdoor and indoor shot put record in 1992 with tosses of 64-9 3/4 (19.75m) and 61-9 1/2 (18.83m), respectively. He set the discus record in 1990 with a toss of 190-8 (58.12m). Reynolds earned All-America honors in 1992 for placing second in the shot at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. His other All-America honor came in the shot at the 1990 NCAA Outdoor Championships. He also won the outdoor title in the shot put at the Southwest Conference Championships in 1990 and 1992. At the Texas Relays, Reynolds was a three-time champion in the shot put with titles. He also was a two-time champion in the shot put at the Penn Relays (1991, 1992).
1995-1998 A broken wrist his junior year of high school is what prompted Khadevis Robinsonʼs track career. He was a standout football player until the injury, but he felt he needed another sport to list on his college application-so he tried track. Bothered by only making the NCAA Indoor meet once in college, he made the most of his outdoor NCAA opportunities as he won the 1998 NCAA Outdoor 800 to close his college career. Robinson won the 1999 USA Indoor Championships and was a finalist at the World Championships, both indoors and outdoors. In July of 2002, Robinson ran the fourth fastest time in the world in the 800 meter in Finland, shattering his personal record with a time of 1:44.41. He continues to perform on the professional circuit and is one of the nationʼs top 800-meter runners, earning a trip to Athens, Greece for the 2004 Summer Olympics. This past summer, he collected runner-up honors in the event with a time of 1:45.97 seconds at the 2009 USA Outdoor Championships, In August of 2006, Robinson helped shatter the American and world record in the 4x800 meters at the Memorial Van Damme meet with a time of 7:02.82. Despite shattering the previous world mark, the U.S. squad finished second to Kenyaʼs time of 7:02.43. Robinson concluded 2006 ranked No. 1 in the U.S. and No. 7 in theworld in the 800 meters. He represented the Flyinʼ Frogs at the 12th Annual IAAF World Championships In Athletics in Berlin, Germany In 2008, Robison's bid for a second-straight Olympics in the 800 meters fell short at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.

1986-1989 One of the most intense competitors ever to don TCUʼs track and field colors, Greg Sholars is best remembered as being only one of two Horned Frogs to be a member of three NCAA 4x100-meter relay title units (1986,ʼ87 and ʼ89). Another local product from Fort Worthʼs Southwest High School, Sholars anchored both the fastest 4x100-meter relay (38.23) and 4x200 relay (1:20.20) combos in NCAA history. Along the way, he garnered five NCAA All-American honors. Though he owned a career personal record of 10.12 seconds in the 100 meters, Sholars often was willing to unselfishly forego individual races in order for the Flyinʼ Frogs to concentrate on the prowess in the short stick events.
1986-1989 Though he performed extensively in the shadows of TCU great Raymond Stewart through much of his career, Andrew Smith certainly earned a place of his own in TCUʼs sprinting hall of honor. Not only did the Kingston, Jamaica, native own a personal best of 10.10 seconds in the 100 meters, en route to garnering all-American honors four straight years — 1986 to 89 — the powerful Smith was a key member of the fastest collegiate 4x100 and 4x200-meter relay units in history to that point. In fact, Smith, a premier stick man — along with his purpleclad 4x100 mates — claimed gold at the 1986, 1987 and 1989 NCAA Championships in addition to many other major relay titles over that stretch. He was a major contributor to TCUʼs incredible 25-race win streak on the sprint relay.
1986-1989 Considered to be the greatest of TCUʼs legion of sprinting stars, Raymond Stewart still holds the school record in the 100-meter dash of 9.89 seconds, in addition to anchoring the second-fastest relay unit in NCAA history (bettered only by TCUʼs 1998 unit) that ran 38.23 in 1990. The first of many Jamaican sprinters to reach superstar status while at TCU, Stewart was a seven-time all-American. Stewart was at his best at the marquee events, winning 100-meter titles at the Penn Relays, Florida Relays, Texas Relays and SWC Championships. But it was at the NCAA Championships of 1987 and 1989 where Stewart asserted himself as a force in collegiate track with victories in the 100 those two years, in addition to taking the 1989 NCAA Indoor Championships 55-meter title. To cap it off, Stewart added NCAA titles as a member of the 4x100-meter relay units in 1987 and 1989. Stewart was a 100meter fi nalist in the 1984, 1988 and 1992 Olympic games, placing sixth in 1984 as the youngest man (age 19) to race in the finals. Stewart won a silver medal in the 1988 Olympics in the 4x1 relay. Stewart won three consecutive SWC 100-meter crowns, one of just six men to accomplish that feat in conference history.

Roscoe Tatum a Carthage, Texas native, provided power-driven speed to the Horned Frog sprint units from 1985 through 1988.
Although he was only on the TCU campus for two short years, Ricardo “Flash” Williams left an indelible mark on the program.
One of the nationʼs top quarter-milers, Roy Williamsʼ solid career was cut short by back problems during his senior campaign.
Tatumʼs track offerings included a 10.08-second clocking in the 100 meters in 1986 and a 6.15 effort in the 60-yard dash (indoor) in 1985.
One of the top junior sprinters in his native country of Jamaica, Williams came to TCU after a two-year stint at Southwestern Christian Community College. “Flashʼ earned Indoor All-America honors as a junior by placing eighth in the 200 meters and ran the anchor leg on TCUʼs outdoor 4x100 meter relay squad that qualified for the national meet.
During his four-year tenure, Williams was a three-time NCAA allAmerican and a 10-time All-WAC performer.
Tatum was a member of TCUʼs first two NCAA Championship 4x100-meter relay units (1986 and 1987), as well as the fastest 4x200 relay time ever by a collegiate squad (1:20.20 seconds) and was a five-time NCAA All-American.

He came back as a senior to finish fifth in the outdoor open 200 and run on the 4x100 meter relay team that produced the nationʼs fastest time. He also ran on the winning 4x100 and 4x200 relay teams at the Penn Relays and the winning 4x100 relay at the Texas Relays.
Williams immediately carved a niche as a freshman, running the lead leg on TCUʼs 4x400 meter relay unit. The quartet earned a second place fi nish at the NCAA Outdoor Meet. The unit, again with Williams running the frst leg, captured the 2000 NCAA Indoor title, then placed fourth in the national outdoor meet. Despite back ailments that limited his performances during his senior campaign, Williams had one last hurrah as he claimed victory in the 400-meter dash at the WAC Indoor Championships, defending his 2000 title.

This Jamaican speedster — a transfer from Central Ohio University — burned up the indoor circuits in his two years. The TCU record holder in the 55-meter dash indoors, Williams won WAC indoor titles in the 55 and 200 meters in 1998. Williams was also a valuable member of the TCU relay teams in both the 4x100 and 4x400. Running the third leg in the 4x100meter relay, Williams served a pivotal member of the TCU team that broke a collegiate record on the way to a national title at the 1998 NCAA Championships in Buffalo, New York, and paved the way to TCUʼs third place team finish.
REBECCA ALLISON | TWO-TIME ALL-AMERICAN
1984-1988 Rebecca Allison was a two-time All-American in the 1,500 meters, where she finished fourth at both the 1986 and 1987 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Allison still owns school records in both the indoor and outdoor 800 as well as the 1,500 meters and mile run. In the 800, Allison set both the top indoor time of 2:10.69 and the top outdoor time of 2:05.48 in 1986. In the 1,500 meters, Allison set the record in 1987 with a time of 4:14.85. In the mile run, Allison posted a record time of 4:47.49 in 1986.
1997-2000 The Flyinʼ Frogs boasted a recruiting coup when Fort Worth native Dywana Crudup decided to stay close to home and attend TCU. The Dunbar High School product quickly earned the reputation as the top female quartermiler in school history. Crudup showed her versatility by competing in sprint distances ranging from 60 to 400 meters. She earned All-America honors when she ran the second leg on the 1998 4x100 meter relay team that won the Western Athletic Conference championship and finished third in the nation. Crudup capped off her senior season by capturing the WAC indoor 60-meter and the WAC outdoor 400-meter titles. She left TCU as the school record holder in the indoor 60 and 400 meters and in the outdoor 400, and was a member of the recordsetting outdoor 4x100 meter relay team.

1985-1988 Like many TCU stars, Lisa Ford was a local product who reached collegiate stardom without leaving her hometown. A graduate of Fort Worthʼs Polytechnic High School, Ford established the TCU womenʼs record in the indoor 55-meter dash with a time of 6.91 seconds. Ford had garnered NCAA Qualifying marks over four consecutive seasons in both the 100-and 200-meter dashes before her TCU career was completed. Additionally, Ford consistently ranked among the best in the tough Southwest Conference as she garnered nine second place finishes in sprint races at SWC meets. Ford remained the school indoor 200-meter record holder 10 years after running with the purple and white and she held the TCU 200-meter outdoor record for a short time also.
2003-2005 Donita Harmon was one of the most decorated runners on the womenʼs squad in her three years at TCU. The four-time All-American earned three certificates as part of both 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams, and garnered a fourth honor with an eighth-place fi nish in the 200 meters at the 2003 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Harmon was a member of the first womenʼs 4x400 relay unit TCU sent to the national meet in school history, placing eighth at the 2005 NCAA Outdoor Championships. She was also a part of the 4x100 squad that placed sixth in 2003 and seventh in 2004 at the NCAA. The native of Albuquerque, N.M., made a sweep of the 2004 Conference USA 200 meter titles in both indoor and outdoor, and almost accomplished the feat in the 100 meters. She took gold in the C-USA indoor 60 meters. Harmon, who owns a share of the schoolʼs indoor record in the 200 meters, was named to the C-USA All-Decade Team in 2005. She was also a member of the school record 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400 relay teams.
2004-2008 Virgil Hodge ended her prestegious career by being selected as part of the Mountain West Conference 10th Anniversary Indoor Track & Field Team. The six-time All-American, is one of the most prolific runners ever at TCU and recently competed at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing in both the 100 and 200 meters. This summer, she represented TCU at the 12th Annual IAAF World Championships In Athletics in Berlin, Germany. In 2008, Hodge was selected as the Mountain West Conference Women's Indoor Track and Field Student-Athlete of the Year. She finished the indoor season earning All-America honors at the NCAA Championships by placing seventh in the women's 200 meters. In Fayetteville, she clocked a season-best time of 23.20 and by doing so became the only female in Horned Frog history to hold at least six such honors. Hodge, who captured five indoor crowns at the MWC Indoor Championships throughout her career, crossed the finish line ahead of the field in both the 60-meter and 200-meter dashes in 2008 for the second-consecutive year, earning herself the 2008 Women's Outstanding Performance award to accompany her two all-conference performances. Hodge won both events at the Mountain West Conference Championships in Fort Worth. At the MWC Championships, Hodge, who set a new St. Kitts national record in the 100, closed out her MWC career in style as she clocked a new personal best time of 11.21 seconds in the 100 meters to claim her third-straight conference outdoor title. She also won her third-straight 200-meter championship title. In the summer of 2008, Hodge represented St. Kitts in both the 100 and 200 meters at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

As a member of TCUʼs fastest womenʼs relay unit in history, Giesla Jackson qualified twice for the NCAA Outdoor Championships on her own in the 100 and 200-meter dashes.
A Fort Worth native from Arlington Heights High School, Tinesha Jackson-Hackney blossomed into one of the nationʼs finest sprinters during her four years at TCU.
Teamed with Dywana Crudup, Catoshia Lewis and Tinesha Jackson-Hackney, Jackson ran the lead leg of TCUʼs record-setting 400-meter relay at the 1998 NCAA Outdoor Championships and the quartet took TCU to a third-place finish. She also competed in the 100-meter dash and reached the semifinal round at that NCAA meet.
Jackson-Hackney set the TCU womenʼs records for the indoor 55-meter dash (6.71) and the indoor 200 (23.57), both at altitude in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 1998. That senior season was a fitting cap to a career in which she improved each year, culminating in the Western Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships 100-meter crown. That victory permanently etched her name in the TCU history books.
Jackson collected numerous all-WAC accolades (both indoors and outdoors) throughout her career at TCU. She earned her distinction by leading off 11 of TCUʼs fastest 4x100 units in womenʼs history.
She went on to earn a pair of all-America honors at the 1998 NCAA Outdoor Championships by placing seventh in the 100 with a time of 11.32 and running the anchor leg on TCUʼs record-setting 400-meter relay (43.69) that placed third. Hackney ran on relay squads that posted the 11 fastest times in the 4x100 relay in TCU history.
2005-2007 Nathandra John closed out her career at TCU rewriting the school record books in the Indoor 400 meters with a time of 53.80 at the MWC Indoor Championships. She also earned her third All-America honor of her career by running the anchor leg on the 4x400 relay team that placed sixth at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Their mark of 3:34.75 set a new school record. A member of the All-MWC Indoor and Outdoor teams in the 400 meters and 4x400 relay, John holds the school record in the outdoor 400 meters with a time of 52.31 at the MWC Outdoor Championships in 2006. John, a St. Kitts native, returned in 2006 as an All-American from a 4x400 relay team that placed seventh at the NCAA Outdoor Championships with a school record 3:30.00 and won the 400 meters and the 4x400 relay titles at the indoor and outdoor Mountain West Conference Championships. After transferring to TCU from Paul Quinn College in Dallas, John became a key member on both the 4x400 meter relay and distance medley relay quartets by running the opening leg of the gold medal winning 4x400 unit and second leg of the third-place DMR squad at the conference indoor meet. She saved her best performance for the Conference USA Outdoor Championships where she set a new school record with a clocking of 52.92 seconds in the 400 and helped both relay units to gold medals. John later competed at the Midwest Regional where she finished sixth in the 400 and also anchored a 4x400 team which set a school record with a time of 3:31.49, enabling the foursome to advance to the NCAA Championships where they earned All-America honors as the 4x400 relay group placed eighth.

The top TCU female sprinter of the 21st century, Monica Twum was a four-time All-American during her three-year career at TCU.
At one point in her remarkable career, Smith held every womenʼs sprint mark at TCU — the 60-yard dash (indoors), the 100 meters (11.31), the 200 meters (23.14) and the 400 meters (55.14) — plus she was a member of both school record relay units.
A Fort Worth native who transferred to TCU from North Texas State, Thomas was a graduate of Trimble Tech High School where she was a three-time state champion. With the start of NCAA-sanctioned womenʼs athletics at TCU, Thomas transferred before the 1984 season and earned numerous All-American honors as a relay sprinter and in the jumps.
A native of Tema, Ghana, Twum transferred to TCU after one year at Life University. She made an immediate impact, placing sixth in the 60-meters during the 2001 indoor season and seventh in the 100-meter dash during the outdoor season at the NCAA Championships as a sophomore.

David Walker Anchoring 1983 4x400 Squad at the 1983 NCAA Outdoor Championships in houston.
TCUʼs great relay tradition is dominated by its championship 4x100-meter units, but the Horned Frogs nabbed their first NCAA title of any kind in the 4x400-meter relay at the 1983 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Houston. TCUʼs victory, in a time of 3:02.09 (just .11 off the collegiate record of the time) gave the Horned Frogsʼ quartet of Allen Ingraham, James Richard, Keith Burnett and David Walker the programʼs first title. Ingraham took the Frogs out to third place on the first leg, just .10 behind Alabama and race leader Baylor. The Frogs held third behind pre-meet favorite Baylor and the Crimson Tide as Richard ran a 45.5 leg to maintain within close range of Alabamaʼs star sprinter, Calvin Smith. Burnett took over for TCU on the third leg and ran a commanding lap in 45.0 to give the Horned Frogs a six-meter lead over Michigan State and Baylor. The lead eventually vanished as Michigan Stateʼs Eliot Tabron overtook TCU anchorman Walker on the final turn, but Walker had enough energy left to finish strong. Walker caught Tabron in the final 10 meters and held off a strong charge by Alabamaʼs Lamar Smith while MSUʼs Tabron faded to third. Walkerʼs final leg of 45.6 was fast enough to give TCU the victory and the senior thrust his arms skyward as he triumphantly crossed the finish line. The race featured no less than four teams from TCUʼs conference, the Southwest Conference, which dominated collegiate track & field for much of the decade as SMU, Baylor and Texas joined TCU in the final.

1986 THE FIRST 4X100 CROWN COMES TO FORT WORTH Roscoe Tatum | Andrew Smith | Leroy Reid | Greg Sholars
1986 Newspaper clipping talking about 1986 4x100 unit winning the National Championship. They entered the NCAA Outdoor Championships of 1986 as the pre-meet favorites, having won all seven races heading into the meet, but TCUʼs 4x100-meter relay unit knew it had its work cut out against a field that included four rival squads from the Southwest Conference. After running 38.56 in the preliminary heat (just .03 off the existing collegiate record at the time), TCUʼs foursome of Roscoe Tatum, Andrew Smith, Leroy Reid and Greg Sholars knew it would take a similar effort - or an even better one - to win the final. And they came up with just such a performance. Running without ace sprinter Raymond Stewart, lost for the season with a quadriceps injury early in the year, TCU relied on its incredible depth to produce a collegiate record 38.46 in the final. To that point, only nine nations had ever produced faster relay units. And TCU needed to produce a flawless race as the young Frogs (two sophomores, a junior and a freshman anchoring) held off the fastest all-freshman relay unit in history from SWC rival Texas A&M. It was a smooth race for TCU, which held the lead from the start with the ever-present Aggies right behind. Sophomores Roscoe Tatum and Andrew Smith established the slight lead and junior Leroy Reid took it into the final curve. With TCU still maintaining a small advantage, freshman Greg Sholars took the Horned Frogs home in a collegiate record time, just .17 ahead of A&M. The time would have won the silver medal at the 1984 Olympic Games just two years earlier and was a world leading time for the season when it was produced. Most of all, it established TCU as a sprinting and relays power, a position the Horned Frogs have maintained for almost two decades.
1986 4x100 Relay Squad It was one of collegiate trackʼs most incredible winning streaks, spanning two calendar years and 25 races against the nationʼs finest 4x100-meter relay units. It started April 4, 1986, with a preliminary heat victory at the Texas Relays and ended April 30, 1988, at the Penn Relays. In between, TCU garnered consecutive NCAA titles, set numerous meet records, lowered the collegiate record and made an indelible mark on collegiate track and field. 1986 1.

1987 FROGS REPEAT AS CHAMPIONS
Roscoe Tatum | Andrew Smith | Greg Sholars | Raymond Stewart
Greg Sholars helped the Flyin’ Frogs bring home the title for a second-consecutive season in 1987.
Unbeaten in 18 races, TCUʼs 4x100-meter relay unit entered the 1987 NCAA Outdoor Championships at Baton Rouge, La., squarely in the sights of several strong competitors. Their chief competition would come from an upstart quartet from Texas A&M, their main rival in the Southwest Conference. The defending NCAA champions, TCU was running slightly different unit than the 1986 quartet as sophomore Ray Stewart replaced Leroy Reid in the foursome after Reid had suffered a slipped disk in his back earlier in the season. Reidʼs absence precipitated a change in the relay order for TCU as former anchor Greg Sholars moved to the third slot (Reidʼs former position) with Stewart taking over as anchor man. As fate would have it, the race would come down to Stewartʼs final sprint. A&M sent a message in the qualifying heats, running a stadium record 38.89 to erase TCUʼs previous track record of 39.10. The Frogs, meanwhile, won their heat in a pedestrian 39.16 as they safely passed the stick to reach the final. That set the stage for the final and a showdown between two teams from Texas. TCU was positioned in lane 6. The Aggies were directly to TCUʼs left in lane 5. The race was a close one from the starting gun. Leadoffs Roscoe Tatum of TCU and Lawrence Felton of A&M reached the first handoff in a virtual tie. Then, the Aggies pulled slightly ahead on the second leg as NCAA 200-meter champion Floyd Heard nudged ahead of TCUʼs Andrew Smith at the second exchange. On the third leg, TCUʼs Sholars made up the deficit to pull even with Aggie Greg Lewis at the final baton pass. It was up to Stewart and A&M anchor Stanley Kerr. Both runners blasted out of the final curve in a dead heat before Stewart came up with a final burst of speed to take a thrilling victory by .03 of a second. TCUʼs 38.82 was the fastest time by any collegiate team of the 1987 season while A&Mʼs 38.85 was second on that seasonʼs list. “That last third of the race, I saw that Kerr was still there,” Stewart said. “I said, ʻOK, time for me to goʼ.”

1989 FLYIN’ FROGS WIN AGAIN IN RECORD FASHION
Raymond Stewart | Andrew Smith | Horatio Porter | Greg Sholars
Only two nations (U.S. and the former Soviet Union) have ever run faster than TCU’s 38.23 In Provo, Utah.
When sprinter Raymond Stewart came to TCU in 1985 he was already an Olympic medalist and a national hero in his native Jamaica. By the time he left TCU, Stewart had accomplished more than any Horned Frogs sprinter in history. Stewartʼs collegiate career ended spectacularly with his performance at the 1989 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Provo, Utah, as he won the 100-meter dash in 9.97 seconds (the second-fastest time ever by a Southwest Conference sprinter). His final race in a TCU uniform, the 4x100-meter relay, ended appropriately with Stewart carrying the baton across the finish line in a collegiate record 38.23, breaking the mark of 38.46 set by TCUʼs 1986 championship quartet. But Stewart was just one of three members of the relay squad to finish outstanding careers this day. For second leg Andrew Smith and third leg Greg Sholars, it was the third NCAA relay title of their careers.

1991 CRUSHES FIELD AT NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS
Jon Drummond | Carey Johnson | Ralston Wright | Horatio Porter
Horatio Porter helped the Flyin’ Frogs Bring home their fourth NCAA Title in six years.
When TCU leadoff man Jon Drummond bolted from the starting blocks at the beginning of the 1991 NCAA Championships 4x100-meter relay finals, a race that figured to be a tight one between Drummondʼs Horned Frogs, upstart Clemson and defending champion Alabama was already decided. Such was Drummondʼs start and ensuing first leg of the relay that TCU cruised to an easy victory and its fourth NCAA 4-by-1 title in six years. During practices throughout his TCU career, sprinter Horatio Porter liked to wear a shirt with the words “Born To Lead” across the front. In the 4x100 final of 1991, Porter and his relay mates brought that motto to life. The runner-up in the 100-meter dash earlier in the meet, Drummond passed smoothly to second leg Carey Johnson whose excellent run enlarged an already sizable TCU advantage. From that point, it was just a matter of safety and time before TCU regained its perch atop the collegiate relay world. Ralston Wright took a perfect exchange from Johnson and ran an excellent curve before handing to anchor leg Horatio Porter who cruised home to the title in 38.88. “We had to scratch from the ʻ90 final, so weʼve been looking forward to this all year,” Porter said. “Weʼre just happy to win - we could have run 40-flat and still be thrilled to win.”

Donovan Powell | Brashant Carter | Lloyd Edwards | Hosia Abdallah
1995 Newspaper clipping talking about 1995 4x100 unit winning the National Championship. As the LSU Tigers dominated collegiate track & field during the early 1990s, the Tiger relay squads racked up three consecutive NCAA 4x100-meter relay championships. LSU seemed destined to extend their streak to a record-tying four straight, but TCUʼs quartet of Donovan Powell, Brashant Carter, Lloyd Edwards and Hosia Abdallah had other ideas. In a tight race between LSU, TCU and Kentucky, Powell gave TCU the lead through into the first exchange before Kentuckyʼs Tim Harden briefly surged in front. But it was an outstanding third leg in which Edwards ran an excellent curve for the Horned Frogs to give TCU a two-meter lead when he handed off to anchorman Abdallah. LSUʼs Rohsaan Griffin made a strong bid to overtake Abdallah, but the TCU anchor held him off for a slim victory. TCUʼs winning time of 38.63 was the eighth fastest in collegiate history at the time. “We just finished fast and smooth like we practice every day,” Abdallah said.

2000 4X400 BRINGS HOME FIRST INDOOR CROWN
Roy Williams | Anthony Amantine | Kendrick Campbell | Johnny Collins
Kendrick Campbell & Anthony Amantine helped the Flyin’ Frogs bring home indoor title in 2000.
The final event of the 2000 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships, the 4x400-meter relay, produced TCUʼs first NCAA indoor relay title ever, a breakthrough for a program that has produced seven outdoor NCAA relay crowns. The TCU quartet of Roy Williams, Anthony Amantine, Kendrick Campbell and Johnny L. Collins II edged Oklahoma by threetenths of a second with a winning time of 3:06.69. The performance capped a monumental indoor season for TCU, which won its first conference team title ever two weeks prior by winning the Western Athletic Conference indoor crown. The NCAA meet set new TCU standards by almost any measure as the Horned Frogs set new standards for indoor All-Americans, team points and team finish. The fourth place finish by TCU, while the highest at an NCAA indoor meet, had only been topped twice previously at NCAA Outdoor meets as TCU placed third at the outdoor championships in 1987 and again in 1988.

2010 QUALIFYING STANDARDS
2010 OUTDOOR QUALIFYING STANDARDS The 2010 outdoor campaign will mark the first season that NCAA Division I schools will utilize a “preliminary round” format for determining qualifiers for the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championship meet, which will be hosted by the University of Oregon on June 9-12 in Eugene, Ore. As opposed to the past six years, where four regional meets were held for the purpose of determining who advances to the NCAA Championship meet, the 2010 season will feature East and West Preliminary Rounds, held in Greensboro, N.C., and Austin, Texas, respectively. The holders of the top 48 marks in each event will advance to either the East or West Preliminary Round site, based on their schoolʼs geographical location. Both preliminary round meets will be held May 27-29, with North Carolina A&T hosting the East site and the University of Texas hosting the West version. All states west of the Mississippi River, plus Illinois and Wisconsin and with the exception of Louisiana, will compete in the West Preliminary Round. All other states will compete in the East meet.

THE MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE
THE MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE
Mountain West Conference Directory
About the Mountain West Conference From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West Conference has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Fresh off celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2008-09, the MWC continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. Over the history of its first decade, the MWC has been assertive in its involvement with the NCAA governance structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administration of intercollegiate athletics.
CONTACT INFO: 15455 Gleneagle Drive Suite 200 Colorado Springs, Colorado 80921 Phone: (719) 488-4040 Fax: (719) 487-7240 Media/Communications Fax: (719) 487-7241
Progressive in its approach, the MWC has marked several achievements over its first decade of existence, most notably becoming the first to establish a sports network dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference. The MWC was the first to experiment with the coaches challenge in the college football instant replay system. It was also the first non-automatic-qualifying BCS conference to participate in and win two BCS bowl games, as well as have three teams ranked all eight weeks of the BCS Standings. Additionally, the MWC was the first conference to have a member institution with No. 1 overall picks in both the NFL and NBA drafts in the same year (Utahʼs Alex Smith and Andrew Bogut, respectively). Since it was founded in 1999, the MWC is the only conference to have the No. 1 selection in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB drafts. The MWC also ranks second in No. 1 draft picks over the last five years with three overall. The Mountain West Conference is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West Conference boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders four MWC schools (Utah, BYU, Air Force and Colorado State). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert city of Las Vegas (the fastest growing metropolitan area in the West) and the Pacific Ocean locale of San Diego State. The southwestern flavor of New Mexico complements the western heritage and culture of Fort Worth, Texas, home of the MWCʼs newest member, TCU. History The Mountain West Conference was conceived on May 26, 1998, when the presidents of eight institutions — Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming — decided to form a new NCAA Division I-A intercollegiate athletic conference. The split from the former 16-team conference re-established continuity and stability among the membership within the new league and signaled the continuation of its tradition-rich, long-standing athletic rivalries. Five of the MWCʼs eight original members have been conference rivals since the 1960s (BYU, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado State), while San Diego State (1978) and Air Force (1980) were longtime members as well. UNLV and TCU entered the fold in 1996 and the Rebels continued as one of the original eight institutions that formed the MWC in 1999. TCU rejoined the group with its first year of competition in the Mountain West in 2005-06, completing the Conference membership as it stands today. When the MWC officially began operations on July 1, 1999, the new league had in place a seven-year contract with ESPN, giving the broadcaster exclusive national television rights to MWC football and menʼs basketball, and three-year agreements to send the leagueʼs football champion to the Liberty Bowl and a second team to the Las Vegas Bowl. Commissioner Craig Thompson also arranged a third bowl tie-in each of the first three years (1999 Motor City, 2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans) before securing a four-year deal with the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco in 2002. An innovator in the postseason bowl structure, the MWC engineered many “firsts,” as league teams have participated in five inaugural bowl games (2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans, 2002 San Francisco (Emerald), 2005 Poinsettia, 2006 New Mexico), as well as placing the first non-automatic-qualifying BCS team into a BCS bowl game with Utahʼs appearance in the 2005 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

TCU COMPLIANCE PROSPECTS 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. How do I know if Iʼm being recruited? 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. Only coaches and athletic department staff can be involved in the recruiting process. Athletic representatives are prohibited from contacting a prospective student-athlete or members of his/her family by telephone, letter or in person for the purpose of encouraging participation in athletics at TCU. Please contact the coaching staff if you know of a prospect that may have the interest and ability to participate in intercollegiate athletics at TCU. The coach can then take appropriate action.
WHAT IS A CONTACT? A contact is any face-to-face encounter between a prospect or the prospectʼs parent(s) or legal guardian and an institutional staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs in excess of an exchange of greeting. NOTE: At the Division I level, athletic representatives (boosters) may not contact you for the purpose of recruiting. What can TCU offer you to attend? You (or your family) may not receive any benefit, inducement, or arrangements (e.g. cash, clothing, cars, gifts, loans, etc…) to encourage you to sign a National Letter of Intent. TCU 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. TCU can recommend that this aid is renewed each year, as is the general practice at the institution, but this renewal is not guaranteed.
BOOSTERS Who is a "booster"? A "booster" is known in NCAA terms as a "representative of the institution's athletics interests." You become a booster if: • you have ever been a member of any organization promoting TCU Athletics, • you have ever made any type of donation to the Frog Club, TCU Athletics or any other TCU booster organization, • you have ever assisted in evaluating or recruiting prospective student-athletes, • you have ever assisted in providing benefits to enrolled student-athletes or their families, • you have promoted TCU Athletics in any other manner. NCAA Bylaw 13.02.12.1 mandates that when you become a booster, you retain that identity for the rest of your life. As a representative of TCU's athletics interests, you are bound by NCAA rules. TCU is responsible for your actions.

INSTITUTIONAL CONTROL "Institutional control" of Athletics is a fundamental requirement of NCAA rules. The NCAA constitution provides that each institution shall be responsible for ensuring that student-athletes, members of the institution's staff and other individuals or groups that represent the institution's athletics interests comply with all applicable NCAA regulations. Because of the complexity of NCAA rules, this document does not include all applicable situations and should not be relied upon exclusively. TRACK & FIELD | WWW.GOFROGS.COM
