SEASON OUTLOOK
UCLA Rowing Seeks Return to NCAA Championships Bruins enter 2012 spring season looking to return to NCAA Championships for the second time in three years After finishing 12th overall at the 2010 NCAA Championships, the UCLA women’s rowing program looks to return to the NCAA Championships for the second time in three seasons and finish its year with a top finish at the Pac-12 Championships. Under the guidance of 11th-year head coach Amy Fuller Kearney, the Bruins feature a young roster with a wealth of talent.
feisty,” Fuller Kearney said. “The big component for us right now is taking that desire to be great and turning it into the daily discipline and fight that is required to get there. Those are two very different things.” Sophomore Carolina Paini slowly moved her way up from the novice eight to the varsity four to the second varsity eight at the end of last season and is looking to build off that momentum heading into the spring season.
Fuller Kearney has helped key UCLA’s success since helping bring back the rowing program in 2001. The Bruins sent their varsity eight crew as an at-large selection to the NCAA Championships in 2005, 2006 and 2007, before breaking through with a team bid to the national event in 2010. Knowing the commitment and effort needed to advance to the NCAA Championships, this year’s team looks to earn another appearance in the prestigious year-end races.
“Carolina is sitting in the stroke seat and stroked the second varsity at the end of the year last year,” Fuller Kearney said. “The thing I love about her is that she’s very lean, rows long, and I just know that she’s not going to ever cry uncle. She’s just so fierce and is going to give everything that she has. It’s a great quality for somebody to have in the stroke seat. Also, as a ballerina she has a natural grace and can feel a rhythm very well so she sets a nice, long pace up there in the stroke seat.”
While the bulk of UCLA’s roster lies in its freshmen and sophomore classes, the Bruins do return seven out of the eight rowers from last year’s varsity eight crew. “This year we’re pretty excited to be returning seven out of the eight rowers with the varsity eight,” Fuller Kearney said. “Last fall, we started off with a pretty young group, a lot of young walk-ons coming from the novice squad and some first-year rowers in that top group. So we really had to start with the basics and this year we’ve been able to work from a higher level from the first day. This is really showing in terms of their confidence and their rowing ability.”
Another sophomore, Natalie Pettee, will look to compete for a spot in the second varsity eight after rowing with the novice eight for much of her freshman campaign. “Natalie just started to learn how to row last year and again, not unlike Erin Wenzel, has just trained really hard,” Fuller Kearney said. “I’m not sure where she’ll end up but I know that she’s going to keep moving up. I’m super excited that she’s just a sophomore and we have so much more time to help her build because she’s all in. No matter what we’re doing, she’s giving everything whether it’s running, rowing, weight lifting or erging. She’s made a huge leap this year and it’s going to pay off for all of us.”
To begin, Jessica McGuire will be making a run at a seat in the varsity eight in 2012 after having rowed in the bow and six seats for the eight crew last year. McGuire, a junior and former walk-on from Chino, Calif., stroked the second varsity eight at the San Diego Crew Classic as a sophomore and at the NCAA Championships as a freshman.
Hillary Caldwell, a junior from Washington D.C., is looking to earn a spot with either the varsity eight or second varsity eight this spring. Caldwell rowed three seat in the varsity eight in every race (except the NCAA Championships, where she rowed five seat) during her freshman year and saw time with both the varsity eight and second varsity eight as a sophomore in 2011.
“I’m really excited to have Jessica back from illness related surgery last spring,” says Fuller Kearney. “She’s doing an excellent job and right now is making great strides technically. Her power is just getting better and better as well as her fitness, so that’s been fun to see.”
“Hillary is in that mix,” Fuller Kearney said. “She was in the varsity two years ago as a freshman and she’s had some struggles with fitness but she’s getting her form back. It’s really exciting to see her because when she’s fit and can go she withstands anything. She will just get into another zone and at the end of the piece I’ll wonder if she’s ok because she’s gone that deep. Right now she’s fighting for a seat in the varsity as well so I hope that turns out, because the more girls that are fighting for the varsity seats, the better everybody will be.”
After rowing in the varsity eight all of last season as a freshman, sophomore Kat Lauer will be counted on once again to contribute to the varsity eight crew this year. Lauer gained valuable experience last season, as she rowed in the five seat for the second half of the 2011 season and also saw time at the three seat against California. “Kat made the varsity as a freshman last year and is back stronger than ever,” Fuller Kearney said. “She’s so feisty and can switch gears into this ‘I will not lose mode.’ It’s really fun having her around.”
UCLA also has three freshmen looking to make an impact with the second varsity eight this season in Cathy Stolitzka, Allison Doran and Alex Caniglia. Stolitzka is a native of Los Altos, Calif. and last year served as the team captain for the Los Gatos Rowing Club. Doran hails from Folsom Calif. while Caniglia is from San Diego, Calif. and competed for San Diego Rowing Club.
Junior Britta Syverson also returns to the varsity eight crew after earning first-team All-Pac-10 and CRCA All-West Region honors in 2011. She rowed in the seven seat and also saw time in the stroke seat last season for the varsity eight. As a freshman in 2010, Syverson secured second-team Pocock All-America honors and second-team CRCA All-West Region acclaim. The native of Minneapolis rowed four seat in the varsity eight in each race as a freshman, helping the Bruins’ eight earn a ninth-place finish at NCAA Championships.
“We have three freshmen that are raising their games completely in Cathy, Allison and Alex,” Fuller Kearney said. “All three are fighting for seats in the second varsity and moving ahead of some people that were in that boat last year because they’ve come in, trained hard and are super fit. They’re also very coachable and they’re just moving the boat, whether it’s the pair, the four or the eight. We’re giving them a shot right now and hopefully we’ll have some nice young, competitive blood in there to keep everybody feisty and fighting for seats.”
“Britta is now a junior and a captain and coming off of the U-23 Rowing Championships in the women’s double,” Fuller Kearney said. “She is really fit, and really strong and very coachable. She is also a great leader in the boat and her high expectations are contagious. ”
After seeing time with both the varsity and second varsity crews as a freshman, sophomore Deanna Wong will look to make a similar contribution this upcoming spring. Wong saw time primarily in the bow seat with both crews in 2011.
Junior Alexa Farafontoff will be competing this spring for a spot in the varsity eight after seeing time with the second varsity eight in her first two years. Hailing from El Dorado Hills, Calif., Farafontoff rowed in the six and seven seats with the second varsity eight last year after rowing in the three and five seats her freshman year. Farafontoff also competed in two races with the varsity eight in 2011, rowing six seat in the Bruins’ win over LMU and four seat in the team’s win over San Diego State.
“Deanna spent a lot of time with the varsity eight last year and she’s a very powerful person for her size and a very strong competitor,” Fuller Kearney said. “She’s rowing right now in the bow seat and I don’t know where she’ll end up, but she’s going to be a really strong component whether it’s in the varsity or the second varsity. She’s just consistent and rows well under pressure so that’s another thing that I’m really looking for from all these athletes.”
“Alexa is looking to try and make her first varsity eight this year,” Fuller Kearney said. “She’s been in the second varsity her first two years and I’ve really seen her turn a corner this year in terms of her fitness. Also, she is learning how to translate her desire to be great into the discipline that is required to achieve that end. I’m hoping that she can stick with it as the intensity increases and make sure that her level continues to rise because she’s rowing really well.”
In the varsity four group, the Bruins will be looking to various rowers to compete for spots in the boat. Juniors Alexis McPhee, Erica Lockard, Tamar Schaap and Emily McLaughlin, and sophomores Victoria Babson, Taylor Veit, Samantha Upton and Audrey Calandra will all be looking to earn places in the four boats. McPhee and Schaap rowed in the varsity four crew throughout their sophomore seasons while Lockard and McLaughlin rowed with the eight and second eight respectively. Veit and Upton rowed with the novice eight during their freshman campaigns while Calandra saw time with the novice eight towards the end of last season.
Mariko Snyder, a junior from Westlake Village, Calif., rowed in the varsity eight throughout her sophomore year and will once again look to earn a spot on the varsity eight this year. Snyder entered the program as a walk-on in the fall of 2009 and finished her freshman year rowing five seat in the novice eight. “Mariko is just so strong. She is really taking her game to a whole new level,” Fuller Kearney said. “As a walk-on she was one of the rowers that was a bit raw last year but has stepped up and is rowing very well and very long for her height. Her power just continues to improve and I think she’s a great leader on and off the water for the team.”
“In the fours group, it’s incredible because we basically have the whole four from last year returning at various times,” Fuller Kearney said. “We’re looking for Alexis, Erica, Tamar, which is the same group from last year, to be joined by Victoria, Emily, Taylor, Sam and Audrey Calandra who are rounding out a very, very strong fours group. If somebody had told me that that would be the fours group at the beginning of the year I would be so excited because they were fast last year and now that we have even more depth. They’re getting pushed every day by a second four that’s very competitive. We don’t know what the lineup is going to be in there yet. I expect them to be very quick again and quite competitive across the nation.”
Like Snyder, sophomore Erin Wenzel will be competing for a spot in the varsity eight this season after rowing with the second varsity eight, varsity four and novice eight crews as a freshman. Wenzel rowed five seat in the Bruins’ victories over California and Stanford in the novice eight last year and led UCLA to a first-place finish in the varsity four on day one of the San Diego Crew Classic.
The Bruins’ freshman class will look to round out the novice eight crew as Christine Bragg, Olivia Taylor, Kendal Mitchell, Victoria Vander Poel, Kristy Kayatta, Christina Nelson and Sarah Dierksen are each poised to lead the novice eight group this year. Bragg and Taylor are natives of Darien, Conn., where they were both members of the Connecticut Boat Club that won the gold medal at the 2010 U.S. Rowing Youth National Championships. Nelson comes from Thousand Oaks, Calif and was a multi-sport athlete competing with Marina Aquatic Center as a junior rower. Mitchell hails from San Mateo, Calif. and was a three-time letterwinner in rowing at St. Ignatius College Prep while Vander Poel, Kayatta and Dierksen are all walk-ons looking to make a big impact in the spring.
“Erin was in the novice and the second varsity last year as a first-year rower and she really came back so fit from the summer this year,” Fuller Kearney said. “She just decided that this is going to be the year that she steps up into the varsity and she’s a fantastic athlete and has a great feel for the boat. I can always trust that she’s going to work, and that’s a great attitude to have in the varsity eight.” Junior Kirstin Snook and sophomore Nicole Sung-Jereczek will also look to compete for a seat in the varsity eight this season. Snook rowed two seat with the varsity eight against USC and at the Pac10 Championships last season while Sung-Jereczek rowed in the varsity eight throughout her entire freshman season.
“The novice eight is still pretty stacked,” Fuller Kearney said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the top novices actually made their way into the fours mix by the NCAA Championships. I think that this is for sure our fastest novice eight ever because we’ve been able to, with the depth that we have, keep our top freshmen in the novice eight. I know I said that three have moved up, but a vast majority of the people that we recruited from top programs around the country like Christine, Olivia and Kendal are still rowing in the novice eight. Coach Price is having a great time on the water every day watching such a fired up and excited group. Thankfully those girls are being pushed by the second novice eight, which is also strong. We have an incredible group of walk-ons this year that are really getting better every day like Victoria, Kristy and Sarah. These girls are putting numbers up on the ERG machine that are phenomenal and now we’re just working hard to get their rowing technique up to speed so they can compete with the more experience rowers. Once they get that, the sky’s the limit.”
“It’s going to be a tough fight,” Fuller Kearney said. “Kirstin rowed a lot with the varsity eight last year as did Nicole and right now they’re really fighting hard for that last port seat. Both are looking very strong and both are extremely feisty and very fit athletes so it’s a good problem to have. I don’t know that either of them will row every race in the varsity eight this year. We’re probably going to switch it up and see who’s bringing the most on race day and who can handle the pressure the best.” Senior Anastasia Alexander has rowed on the Bruins’ varsity eight the last three seasons and is expected to contribute in that boat again this spring. In 2011, she rowed with both the varsity and second varsity eights, seeing time at the bow, seven and three seats. She also rowed bow seat in the eight in each of UCLA’s races in 2010, helping the varsity eight secure a fourth-place finish at the Pac-10 Championships and a ninth-place finish at the year-end NCAA Championships.
Fuller Kearney offered this final thought as the Bruins head into their spring season:
“Anastasia, who’s our only senior this year in that boat, is really having her best year ever,” Fuller Kearney said. “She’s struggled with illness or injury her first three years here but has still put together a pretty successful career. I’m excited about her being able being healthy, fit and getting back to great form this year.”
“I’m really excited with the depth of the team this year. The attitude is awesome and the coaching staff is doing an amazing job. Justin, Luke and I are working daily to help the athletes work towards their potential and raising the level of discipline and intensity is the key for this young team. We expect, as always, the Pac-12 competition will be fierce. It’s going to be a tough conference. It gives us a lot of great opportunities to race against some of the fastest boats in the country. We have to be able to race, stroke for stroke, with the best. That’s what being a champion is about. Our goal has always been to be able to race on any given day with any program in the country in any boat. Everybody’s really excited and it’s a positive environment and it looks to be a great season.”
The Bruins’ second varsity eight will be mostly compiled of underclassmen, but are poised to have a great season on the water. “On the second varsity eight, again it’s a young crowd but they’re rowing really well and are quite

COACHING STAFF AMY
FULLER KEARNEY HEAD COACH 11th season Alma Mater: UC Santa Barbara ’90 Entering her 11th season at the helm of the UCLA women’s rowing program in 2011-12, Amy Fuller Kearney has established the Bruins as a national competitor. After having made a successful transition from a club team to a varsity program in 2001-2002, UCLA earned its first-ever team bid to the NCAA Championships in May 2010, securing a 12th place finish at the national event that season. Additionally, the Bruins sent a varsity eight crew as an at-large selection to the NCAA Championships in three consecutive seasons (2005-07). The eight’s highest finish in that three-year span was a 12th place finish in 2006. UCLA’s eight finished ninth at the 2010 NCAA Championships, placing higher than any Pac-12 program at the national competition. This season, Fuller Kearney looks to lead the Bruins back to the NCAA Championships for the second time in three seasons. Fuller Kearney led the Bruins’varsity and second varsity eights to the Pac-10 Championship Grand Final from 2004 through 2007. In 2010, UCLA’s varsity eight finished fourth at the Pac-10 Championships, while the program’s varsity four earned a bronze-medal finish at the conference event. That year, the Bruins secured a fifth-place team finish at the Pac-10 Championships. UCLA’s second varsity eight won the silver medal in 2005 and 2006 at the Pac-10 Championships. The past four seasons, Fuller Kearney has guided UCLA to a consistent place in the national rankings. The Bruins secured a ranking as high as No. 11 in the Collegiate Rowing Coaches’Association (CRCA)/US Rowing poll in 2010, as high as No. 13 in 2008 and 2009 and No. 17 in 2011. In 2011, the Bruins kicked off the spring season with back-to-back victories over Loyola Marymount and San Diego State. UCLA’s novice eight then earned consecutive victories over Pac-12 foes California and Stanford. The Bruins varsity eight earned a second place finish at the San Diego Crew Classic while the varsity four and novice eight squads took home second place as well. At the Virginia Invitational, UCLA’s second varsity eight earned a victory over Texas while the varsity four defeated the Clemson Tigers on the final day of competition. After the team finished the season with a sixth place finish at the Pac-12 Championships, UCLA’s Britta Syverson secured CRCA All-West Region honors for the second straight year. In 2010, UCLA registered impressive dual-meet victories against Loyola Marymount and San Diego State to open the spring season. UCLA’s varsity eight finished third on consecutive days, including in Sunday’s Grand Final, at the San Diego Crew Classic, while the team’s open eight crew earned two first-place finishes. The Bruins varsity eight defeated Clemson and Notre Dame at the SoCal Challenge, before cruising past Oregon State and San Diego the next week in Dexter Lake, Ore. UCLA’s sixth-place team finish at Pac-10 Championships was highlighted by a bronze medal-winning performance from the varsity four. Six Pac-10 teams earned berths to the NCAA Championships, as UCLA secured its first team berth in program history.
15th overall. That spring, UCLA reached the Grand Final in every event at the Pac-10 Championships. The first eight raced to a top-16 ranking and an at-large invite to the NCAA Championships for the first time in program history. The second eight made history, bringing home a silver medal from the Pac-10 Championships, a first at UCLA since rowing was elevated to NCAA varsity status. Named UCLA rowing’s head coach on July 2, 2001 – the sport’s inaugural NCAA season – Fuller Kearney came to Westwood after having served one year as assistant coach for the Stanford women’s crew program (2000-01). At Stanford, she guided the Cardinal to its first top-20 national ranking in the program’s NCAA history.
At the NCAA Championships, UCLA varsity eight finished third in its first-day elimination heat, allowing the crew to advance to Saturday’s semifinal. After a fifth-place finish in the semifinal, the varsity eight closed its season with a third-place finish in the Petite Final. UCLA’s second varsity eight and varsity four crews advanced to the Third Final, finishing third and second, respectively. Following the NCAA Championships, UCLA’s Alexandra Bolt (first team) and Britta Syverson (second team) secured All-America honors, as announced by the CRCA.
Prior to serving as assistant coach at Stanford, Fuller Kearney was an assistant coach at San Diego State for two years (1998-2000). She worked with the Aztecs while training for the 2000 Olympics with the U.S. National Team. Fuller Kearney has also spent time working as an assistant coach at the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga (1996-98) and for the U.S. National Team (1997).
In 2009, the Bruins opened the season with strong dual-meet wins against local opponents Loyola Marymount and San Diego State. UCLA’s varsity eight won races on consecutive days against No. 12 Ohio State and No. 13 Clemson, respectively, at the Pac-10 Challenge. The Bruins finished strong at the San Diego Crew Classic, as the first eight raced to a first-place finish in the Petite Final, while the second eight cruised to a third-place finish. On day two of the Lake Natoma Challenge, UCLA’s first eight won its heat against Minnesota and Tennessee. At the season-culminating Pac-10 Championships, the varsity eight won the Petite Final while the second eight finished in second place.

Through the Years... Women’s rowing first started at UCLA in 1970 from a support group for the men’s program known as “Shell and Oar.” Three years later, in 1973, Larry Daugherty was named the first head coach of UCLA women’s rowing. The women still struggled for intercollegiate status, but they eventually won in 1974 through the determination of the athletes and the support of then ViceChancellor Norman P. Miller. In 1975, just one year after the inception of the sport into the collegiate ranks, UCLA won the National Championships in the lightweight four. In 1976, the Miller Cup Invitational was established in honor of Dr. Miller for his commitment to the program. That same year, UCLA won its first conference championship in the Pac-8, and the varsity eight won the Western Sprints Championships. Under Daugherty, the Bruins also won the NWRA Southwest Regional Championships in 1977, 1980, and 1982. In the mid 80’s, UCLA women’s rowing reappeared in the national spotlight. In 1984, under coach Jean Reilly, the Bruins
were national champions in the varsity four and lightweight four, and in 1985, they repeated as national champions in the varsity four. In the Pac-10 conference, UCLA holds two team titles from 1990 and 1991. The Bruins were the varsity four champions in 1984 and both the varsity eight and second varsity eight champions in 1990 and 1991. At the end of the 1991 season, women’s rowing was released by the UCLA Athletic Department and picked up the following year by UCLA Recreation. UCLA announced on Feb. 9, 2001 that it would once again sponsor rowing as an intercollegiate sport, active for the 2001-02 season. Now under the NCAA, UCLA women’s rowing is in its eighth season as a scholarship sport. The Bruins have regrouped under head coach Amy Fuller Kearney. She has already reestablished an alumni base and strengthened old ties and traditions, as well as introducing some new ones into the program.

Pac-12 Conference The Conference of Champions Built on a firm foundation of academic excellence and superior athletic performance, the Conference ushers in a new era with the additions of the University of Colorado and University of Utah, officially becoming the Pac-12 Conference on July 1, 2011. The Pac-12 rises above the rest, upholding its tradition as the “Conference of Champions” ®, claiming an incredible 180 NCAA team titles over the past two decades, including nine in 2010-11, averaging nearly nine championships per academic year. Even more impressive has been the breadth of the Pac-12’s success, with championships coming in 27 different men’s and women’s sports. The Pac-12 has led the nation in NCAA Championships in 45 of the last 51 years and finished second five times. Spanning nearly a century of outstanding athletics achievements, the Pac-12 was the first conference to reach 400 championships in 2010-11. With the inclusion of CU and UU, league teams have captured 442 NCAA titles (302 men’s, 140 women’s), outdistancing the next closest conference by nearly 200. The Conference’s reputation is further proven in the annual Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup competition, the prestigious award that honors the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country. STANFORD continued its remarkable run and won its unprecedented 17thconsecutive Directors’ Cup in 2010-11. Six of the top 25 Division I programs were Pac-12 member institutions: No. 1 STANFORD, No. 3 CALIFORNIA, No. 11 UCLA, No. 14 USC, No. 16 ARIZONA and No. 21 WASHINGTON. With two teams in the top five, it was the most of any conference. The 2010-11 campaign was marked by the 25-year anniversary of women’s sports in the Pac-10, with year-long focus on the milestone. And after commissioner Larry Scott made history
at the end of his first year with the announcement of the expansion of the Conference to include the University of Colorado and the University of Utah, he put the Conference on the forefront, announcing a landmark television deal, which is set to go into affect in 2012-13, and established a Pac-12 Football Championship game in 2011. In 2010-11, the then-Pac-10 led the country with nine NCAA titles, with men’s and women’s programs sharing the wealth as the Conference claimed five NCAA women’s titles and four men’s crowns. Claiming titles in softball (ARIZONA STATE), women’s indoor track & field (OREGON), and women’s golf (UCLA), the Pac-10 also had runners-up in 10 NCAA Championship events: women’s volleyball (CALIFORNIA), women’s soccer (STANFORD), women’s gymnastics (UCLA), women’s rowing (STANFORD), women’s tennis (STANFORD), and women’s track & field (OREGON). It was an all-Pac-10 final in men’s and women’s water polo, as well. Overall, the Conference had 32 teams finish in the top four at 18 NCAA Championship events. Participation in the postseason was a common occurrence for the Pac-10 in 2010-11. Of the 22 sports sponsored by the Conference, 16 witnessed at least half its teams participating in NCAA or other postseason action. The men sent 66 of a possible 91 teams into the postseason (65.9 percent), while the women sent 69 of a possible 99 teams (69.7 percent). The Conference swept two men’s and women’s sports, capturing national championships in swimming & diving and water polo. CALIFORNIA took home both swimming & diving crowns. In water polo, USC was the top men’s teams and the STANFORD women were national champs. With the additions of Colorado and Utah, Pac-12 members have won 302 NCAA team championships on the men’s side,
28
89 more than the next closest conference. Men’s NCAA crowns have come at a phenomenal rate for the Pac-12 - 16 basketball titles by six schools (more than any other conference), 52 tennis titles, 44 outdoor track & field crowns, and 26 baseball titles. Pac-12 members have won 25 of 42 NCAA titles in volleyball, 37 of 42 in water polo, and 22 in swimming & diving national championships. Individually, the Conference has produced an impressive number of NCAA men’s individual champions, as well, boasting 2,019 individual crowns.

UCLA Athletics expresses its sincere gratitude to the individuals listed for their support in the continuing effort to distinguish UCLA as the nation’s premier academic and athletics institution.
Tax-deductible gifts to the UCLA Athletic Fund play a pivotal role in meeting the escalating costs of team travel, recruiting, equipment replacement and, most importantly, in providing athletic scholarships. Now more than ever, private support is necessary if UCLA is to maintain its position as the best athletic program in the country. Your help is truly needed and greatly appreciated.
An endowment generates income to the University in perpetuity. By investing the gift principal and using just the interest earned to help meet the cost of a grant-inaid assures the Athletic Department of ongoing funds to maintain the quality and diversity of its program.
To encourage private support of our program, the best football and basketball tickets are allocated to our most generous donors. Members of the Wooden Athletic Fund receive priority in the assignment of tickets for home contests in the Rose Bowl and in Pauley Pavilion in accordance with the UCLA Priority Seating Policy. In many cases, special reserved parking is also available for our donors.
Currently, UCLA provides financial assistance to over 650 student-athletes participating in 22 intercollegiate sports. However, expenses such as the cost of tuition for student-athletes have increased dramatically in the last several years while department revenues have remained relatively stable.
Any questions regarding the Wooden Athletic Fund or the benefits members receive, should be directed toward UCLA’s Athletic Development Office at (310) 206-3302.

UCLA ATHLETICS Dr. Gene Block became chancellor of UCLA in August 2007. As chief executive officer, he oversees all aspects of the university’s three-part mission of education, research and service.
GENE
BLOCK
A champion of public universities, Chancellor Block has set four major priorities for UCLA during his administration: academic excellence, diversity, civic engagement and financial security. He has called for UCLA to deepen its engagement with the Los Angeles region and to increase access for students from underrepresented populations. Chancellor Block holds UCLA faculty appointments in psychiatry and bio-behavioral sciences in the David Geffen School of Medicine and in physiological science in the College of Letters and Science. He also heads a research laboratory on campus that is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
CHANCELLOR • 5th Year Alma Mater: Stanford ’70 Chancellor Block and his wife, Carol, have two adult children. The Blocks are avid Bruin fans and attend the competitions of various Bruin athletic programs.
Previously, he served as vice president and provost of the University of Virginia. He holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Stanford University and a master’s and Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Oregon. In Guerrero’s nine years as Athletic Director, he has clearly established a pattern of “image and substance” that few in his profession can match. UCLA stands as the No. 1 University in the nation for NCAA team championships (108) won, a number that continues to grow under his direction. In those nine years, UCLA teams have won 22 NCAA team titles (the highest total in the nation in that span) in 12 different sports, finished second 18 times and have had an additional 35 Top Five finishes (73 total). A staggering 176 teams (of 213 possible) have qualified for NCAA post-season competition and the football team has appeared in eight bowl games. The program has also won 47 conference championships in 15 different sports, produced over 460 AllAmericans and featured four Honda Award winners, including the 2003-04 Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year. Furthermore, during the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing,China, 39 Bruins participated as athletes or coaches, representing the United States and nine other nations. They won 15 medals, including four gold. In the last nine years, UCLA has fi nished second three times (2007-08, 200607 and 2005-06), third twice (2004-05 and 2003-04), fourth (2009-10), sixth (2002-03), 11th (2010-11) and 16th (2008-09) in the race for the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup.

Prior to his switch to administration, Field spent 22 seasons as an assistant coach with the UCLA football team. He was the assistant head coach during his final five seasons (1996-2000) and served as defensive coordinator for 16 seasons (1982-95 and 1999-2000) while tutoring outside linebackers, place kickers and defensive backs at various times in his career. Field has been at UCLA since 1978, with the exception of the 1980 football season. Over the years, he has tutored some of the top athletes in school history and crafted numerous defenses ranked in the top 20 in various categories. He began his coaching career under the legendary Bear Bryant at Alabama (1971-72) and moved to Mississippi State in 1973.

All UCLA head coaches stress involvement with the campus and the community. Whether it’s volunteering at an inner-city youth clinic, speaking to children at elementary and middle schools in the area, or assisting in campus programs such as ‘Marathon Kids’ and ‘I’m Going to College,’ community service is an important aspect of being a Bruin. These outreach opportunities give student-athletes a chance to mentor youth, give back to the community and serve as ambassadors for UCLA Athletics.
Community Outreach Bruin student-athletes, coaches and staff have the opportunity to participate in community service activities on campus and throughout the Los Angeles area. Examples of these events include; • Marathon Kids • Dribble for the Cure • Mattel Children’s Hospital • Elementary/Middle School Visits • Team Prime Time/Prime Time Games • UCLA Lab School Jogathon • I’m Going to College • Adopt a Classroom • Special Requests/Events These outreach opportunities give student-athletes a chance to mentor youth, give back to the community and serve as ambassadors for UCLA Athletics.

Wooden Academy: Teamwork, Leadership and Character The Wooden Academy is a comprehensive leadership development program designed to educate and support the standards of leadership for Bruin student-athletes. The pillars of the Wooden Academy are teamwork, leadership and character.
