In his nine years as the head coach at Boise State, Maynard led a program which produced several historic events - back-to-back (2004 and 2005) national championships by Gabe Wallin in the men’s javelin, over 50 new school record performances and 30 All-American accolades. The Broncos enjoyed unprecedented success behind Maynard’s direction.

He was the associate head track and field coach for the Wildcat program for 13 years prior to joining the Broncos. While coaching at Arizona, Maynard guided 32 individual NCAA Division I All-Americans, including three NCAA National Champions. Maynard’s coaching resume also includes a twoyear stint as the assistant strength and conditioning coach at Arizona, where he worked with the Wildcat football program as well as being responsible for the Arizona track and field, swimming and tennis teams. He began his collegiate coaching career at Mesa Community College (Ariz.) where he was the assistant track and field coach from 1982-84, and in 1987. Maynard was also instrumental in bringing a world-class facility to Bronco Track & Field. During his first two years leading the Broncos, Maynard and Boise State were successful in purchasing a world championship caliber track and helped construct the building to put it in. The Mondo track was used by USA Track and Field and the Georgia Dome for the national indoor championships. The building is the Idaho Sports Center located in the Idaho Center complex in Nampa, Idaho. The track was purchased with a $250,000 cash gift from John Jackson, President of Jacksons Food Stores in Meridian, Idaho. Boise State has hosted several major meets, including six WAC Indoor Championships. The facility hosted its first national meet in 2005 with the USA Indoor Master’s Championships. Boise State has submitted bids to host future NCAA Indoor National Championships. Outside the collegiate world, Maynard has coached a World Champion, five different Olympians, a Pan American gold medalist, five USA Track and Field Champions and three American Junior Champions. One of Maynard’s former athletes Tony Washington (1990-96), won the World Championship in the discus in 1999. Washington also won the gold medal in the discus at the 1991 Pan American Games along with five USA National Championships. Maynard is currently an Executive Committee member of the United States Track Coaches Association and the NCAA Division I Track and Field Executive Committee. Maynard was also the head coach for the USA Track and Field team in its dual meet against Germany in 1996. He has served USA Track and Field as the Regional Decathlon Chairman, the United States Olympic Committee as an Elite Throws Clinician, and has been the lead throws clinician for the USA/Visa Decathlon team.

COACHING STAFF Angela Williams, Natasha Danvers, Brigita Langerholc, Grezyna Penc and Inga Stasiulionyte on the women’s side. He has coached 24 All-Americans and guided a USC athlete to eight Pac-12 titles each in the 100m and 200m races.

JOHN HENRY JOHNSON JR. Women’s Head Coach 1st Season UCLA ‘90 John Henry Johnson, Jr., the 2013 USTFCCCA National Men’s Assistant Coach of the Year, was hired as UCLA women’s track & field head coach on July 3, 2013. A former all-conference decathlete at UCLA, Johnson returns to his alma mater after 19 years as an assistant coach at USC, where he coached sprinters and served as the team’s strength coach and recruiting coordinator. This past season, he helped lead USC sprinters Aaron Brown (100m, 200m) and Bryshon Nellum (200m) to three AllAmerica honors. Johnson’s sprinters went 1-2-3 (Nellum, Brown and Davonte Stewart) in the 200m, and 1-2 (Brown and BeeJay Lee) in the 100m at the 2013 Pac-12 Championships. “What John Henry Johnson has done in the sprints and hurdles at USC is widely recognized. Reviving UCLA’s strength in the sprints and hurdles legacy and tradition is something that is important to our team philosophy,” said Maynard. “I’m excited about John Henry’s abilities as a coach, leader, and his drive and ability as a recruiter. Throughout our combined careers we’ve competed head to head on the track, and the recruiting front. In my opinion, Coach Johnson is one of the finest coaches and recruiters in the NCAA. He follows fellow Bruin and our recently named head men’s coach John Frazier back to UCLA. I am very pleased to repatriate another Bruin back into the UCLA family.” Johnson’s recruiting prowess has been welldocumented, as each of USC’s last 17 men’s and women’s recruiting classes have been ranked among the best in the nation. Johnson recruited the No. 1 men’s class in 2009 and the No. 1 women’s class in 2006 and also nabbed Top 3 classes in 2012 (women), 2011 (women), 2010 (men), 2008 (women) and 2007 (men). Johnson recruited to USC stars such as Nellum, Brown, Jerome Davis, Lionel Larry, Ahmad Rashad, Felix Sanchez, Denis Kholev, Charles Lee, Ryan Wilson and Julien Kapek on the men’s side, and

A state champion in the decathlon at Long Beach City College in 1987, Johnson became an AllPac-10 honoree at UCLA and a 7,000+ point scorer in the decathlon during his two-year Bruin varsity career (1989, 1990). He was a member of UCLA’s 1988 NCAA Championship team as an injured redshirt junior. After graduating from UCLA with a degree in international relations in 1990, Johnson went on to serve as an assistant coach at Long Beach State from 1990-92, working with sprinters and throwers. “I’d like to thank Mike Maynard and (Senior Associate Athletic Director) Glenn Toth for selecting me for this position,” Johnson said. “That such a prestigious university would reach out to me and offer this opportunity is amazing, but being able to come back to my alma mater as a head coach is unbelievable.” “I was on some great teams here at UCLA and truly want to see the program at that level again, and I will work tirelessly toward that goal,” Johnson continued. “Developing student-athletes is my life’s work, and educating and graduating these talented students is our number one responsibility. I’m excited to get started.”

JOHN FRAZIER Men’s Head Coach 1st Season UCLA ‘86 John Frazier returns to his alma mater (‘82-’86) as men’s head coach after most recently spending seven seasons on the coaching staff at the University of Tennessee, where he was an associate head coach and coach for men’s and women’s throws. “My fellow coaches, the entire team and I are excited to welcome John Frazier back to Westwood and the UCLA family,” said Maynard. “John’s professionalism and the coaching expertise he brings will certainly help us to continue to move the programs forward toward our goals. He is renowned for his ability to recruit and develop world-class talent, and I believe that his experience as a UCLA student-athlete, as well as his personal understanding of the academic and athletic expectations here, will aid him considerably in his new role.” With over 24 years of experience in the track and field coaching community specializing in coaching throwers, Frazier brings with him experience from stops at the University of Florida, the University of Arizona and Tennessee, among others. Throughout his career at the collegiate level, Frazier has produced 43 All-American athletes as well as four NCAA champions. Most recently, Volunteer javelin thrower Kyle Quinn earned second team All-America honors for his tenth place finish in Eugene at the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Frazier’s return to Westwood is a well-deserved homecoming for one of the great Bruin throwers ever to compete at Drake Stadium. Under legendary coaches Jim Bush, Bob Larsen, and Art Venegas, Frazier was a three-time All-American in the shot put during his UCLA career, earning first team honors at both NCAA Indoors and Outdoors in 1985 as well as at the 1986 Outdoor Championships. In his four years of Bruin collegiate competition (1982/1983/1985/1986), UCLA was 38-1 in dual meet contests, including an unbeaten 3-0 mark vs. USC (the 1982 UCLA-USC dual meet was non-scoring). As a freshman in 1982 and a senior in 1986, the Bruins were the top-ranked dual meet team in the nation. He currently holds two all-time UCLA records--first, the No. 9 mark all-time in Bruins shot put history (65-2.75) and second, the No. 10 mark all-time in the men’s hammer throw (208-6). Frazier graduated from UCLA with a bachelor’s degree in political science in 1986.

He supervises the greatest group of volunteer coaches in Bruin history, which includes; Anthony Curran (pole vault), Rob Jarvis (decathlon, linear jumps), Sharon Day (heptathlon), and Jamie Nieto (high jump). Hoyt brings to the Bruin program over 20 years of coaching at the collegiate level. “I am so excited to be a Bruin! Coach Maynard has compiled an amazing staff and the team is more motivated than any team I’ve ever been around. Great things are coming to Westwood, that’s for sure.” In 2013, Hoyt’s inaugural season at UCLA, personal records were set in every event area. Kylie Price was an All-American at both Indoor and Outdoor Nationals and set a personal best of 21-4 in the long jump. UCLA’s All-American pole vaulter, Michael Woepse, jumped a personal best 18-4, while his female counterparts, Allison Koressel (All-American) and Natasha Kolbo both set personal bests at 14-1 and 13-6. The two Bruin heptathletes each improved by over 350 points to 5,691 and 5,165. UCLA’s decathletes made even bigger improvements to their scores with two NCAA qualifying marks. Marcus Nilson placed 3rd at the NCAA Championship meet and later competed at the World Championships in Russia. In the men’s long jump, Michael Perry surprised everyone with a 3rd place PAC 12 showing and a personal best improvement of over a foot to 24-8. Dillon Stucky added a foot to his triple jump at 51-1. Faith Anumba returned to form in the triple (41-7) and long jumps (19-7) following a stress fracture in 2012. In the women’s high jump, 6 women surpassed their marks from the previous year, 3 of whom qualified into the first round of the NCAA Championship Meet. Cody Crampton, the lone male high jumper, redshirted and will be joined in 2014 by 3 new freshmen all in the 7-foot range. Prior to UCLA, Hoyt spent 7 years as the coach of field events, men’s decathlon and women’s heptathlon at Cal Poly (San Luis Obispo). During that time, Hoyt coached Sharon Day to national stardom in the heptathlon and high jump. In the fall

Day had a successful high jump career, winning the NCAA women’s high jump event (6-4) in 2005 and making the U. S. team at the 2008 Olympics (Beijing, China). In 2009, Day’s first year of full time heptathlon training, she made the USA World Championship Team in both the high jump and heptathlon. Her heptathlon success continued with a second-place finish at the USA National Championship Meet in 2010 and the top spot on the podium in 2011. At the 2012 Olympic Games in London, Day was the top U. S. finisher in the heptathlon. Hoyt has been Day’s coach in all seven of the heptathlon events. Along with Day, Hoyt had three other athletes who competed at the 2012 Olympic Trials (two in the decathlon and one in the javelin). During his tenure at Cal Poly-SLO, Hoyt coached two Olympians, five NCAA Division I scoring athletes, 10 NCAA Championship Final meet qualifiers, 37 Regional qualifiers and 19 conference champions. He showed his versatility with conference champions in the pole vault, high jump, long jump, javelin, discus, shot put, heptathlon and decathlon. From 1989-2005, Hoyt coached nearly every event at his alma maître, Seattle Pacific University. During that time, he personally coached Division II All-Americans in the 100 Hurdles, 400 hurdles, 400 meters, high jump, long jump, pole vault, heptathlon, decathlon, shot put and javelin. He was the Head Coach for the men’s and women’s teams from 1999-2005. In his final season at SPU, Hoyt led the Falcon women to 13th at the NCAA Div. II Outdoor Championships and eighth indoors. That year, he also coached Danielle Ayers-Stamper to an NCAA Indoor high jump title and 2nd in the heptathlon, and Chris Randolph to the NCAA Div. II decathlon title. During his six seasons without a campus track & field facility, Hoyt’s SPU teams won a total of five outdoor and indoor conference championships. At SPU he earned a Regional Coach of the Year honor, was a five-time Conference Coach of the Year and produced 36 Div. II All-America athletes and 102 conference champions. Hoyt was an All-American decathlete at Seattle Pacific University in 1987. He competed at the 1992 Olympic Trials in the decathlon where he was coached by current UCLA Director, Mike Maynard. Hoyt has held the SPU high jump record for over 25 years, and in 1990 broke the American Record for the decathlon high jump at 7-2.75”. In 2004, Hoyt set the American Record in the decathlon for the over-40 age group. Even at 40 years of age, he was still over 15 feet in the pole vault and 6-5 in the high jump. Currently, he has slowed his athletic career down to lifting weights with his athletes and playing with his family at Santa Monica Beach.

DRAKE STADIUM HISTORY/RECORDS Drake Stadium, one of the finest track and field facilities in the world, is now in its 43rd season as the on-campus home of the Bruin men’s and women’s track and field teams. The stadium took on a new look almost eight years ago (August-December 1999) when it was transformed into a state-of-the-art soccer/track and field facility, adding the Frank W. Marshall Field at Drake Stadium. The stadium provides seating for 11,700 spectators. The cost of the project was $1.5 million and was made possible by a lead gift from Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy. All the money was raised from private funds; no state money was utilized. The track in the facility has been converted from a conventional American 400yard eight-lane oval with a 106-degree radius turn to a new European 400-meter nine-lane (48” width lane) with a 136 degree radius on the turn. The surface is tartan provided by Martin Surfacing. There is 13mm of surface material on top of an asphalt base. A track/field drainage system is flush mounted to the inside of lane one. Also on the inside of lane one is an electrical/timing chase that will house the Lynx timing system for the track. Other track and field enhancements include: the steeplechase pit has been moved “inboard” of the track on the north turn; the field events include shot, discus and hammer rings at both the north and south ends of the infield and a javelin runway is also located on both ends to accommodate for the prevailing winds for all these events. A new top of the line hammer and discus cage was erected in the Spring of 2007. In addition, the high jump area has been moved to the south end of the track stadium on its own tartan surface. The north end of the facility has practice pits for the shot, hammer and discus. The stadium has four long/triple jump pits, featuring 38-foot-long sand-filled pits. There are two practice pole vault pits and one infield runway that can accomodate the pit on either the north or south end to take advantage of the wind. Thanks to the change in the configuration of the track, the grass infield is now wide enough to house a regulation 75-yard by 120-yard soccer field, the Frank W. Marshall Field. Another enhancement for Frank W. Marshall Field at Drake Stadium is a scoreboard which measures 25-feet high by 29-feet wide and costs $180,000. The board was a gift of Kay and Paul Seider. It is a matrix board, allowing for scoring and

statistics to be presented for track and field, soccer and football. The system can be connected to the Lynx timing system, which will give instant time and place formation for race finishes. The board will always keep the time of day and has the capability of measuring and displaying temperature and wind direction/ speed for track meets. Since its inaugural meet on Feb. 22, 1969, the stadium has been the site of numerous championship meets, including the National AAU in 1976-77-78, the Pacific-8 Championships in 1970 and 1977 and the California CIF High School meet in 1969-71-77. In 1988, Drake Stadium hosted the Pacific-10 Track and Field Championships, and in 1994, the facility hosted the first-ever California-Nevada Championships. Drake Stadium again hosted the Pacific-10 Track and Field Championships in 1996 and 2005. The stadium also has been the home for UCLA women’s track teams since 1975. It was the site of the National Collegiate T&F Championships (the AIAW) in 1977. It also is used each year for special campus events, such as the annual UCLA Commencement Exercises in June. In 1973, it was officially named Drake Stadium in honor of a legend at UCLA, Elvin C. “Ducky” Drake, who had been associated with his alma mater as a student-athlete, track coach and athletic trainer for over 60 years. Drake died in Los Angeles of a heart attack on Dec. 23, 1988. He was 85.

BRUIN GREATS JACKIE JOYNER-KERSEE Since leaving UCLA after her final year of collegiate competition in 1985, Jackie Joyner-Kersee dominated women’s track and field for 13 years. On three different occasions (1994, ‘87, ‘86) she was the Track & Field News World Athlete of the Year and on five occasions the top American (1994, ‘92, ‘91, ‘87, ‘86). In 1997, JJK was the inaugural recipient of the USA Humanitarian Athlete of the Year and, in 1986-87, she received the Jesse Owens Award. JJK still holds the world record in the heptathlon (7291) and the American records in the heptathlon and long jump (24-7 twice). In Olympic competition, JJK won six medals, including three gold, moving her to the head of the U.S. list, over Bruin alums Florence Griffith-Joyner and Evelyn Ashford, each with five, and Marion Jones, who won five medals, including three gold, at the 2000 Games. In 1996 in Atlanta, JJK could not finish the heptathlon because of a painful right hamstring injury, but came back to win a bronze medal in the long jump. She won a second straight gold medal in the heptathlon and a bronze medal in the long jump at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. At the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, JJK won gold medals in the heptathlon (world record) and the long jump. At the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, while still at UCLA, she won her first Olympic medal, a silver in the heptathlon, just missing the gold by five points. Jackie Joyner-Kersee, the world’s greatest female athlete, retired from heptathlon competition in 1998, winning the event at the Goodwill Games. She did return to long jump competition at the 2000 U.S. Trials in an effort to make her fifth consecutive U.S. women’s Olympic team, but placed sixth (21-10) in the final.

Known worldwide for her interest in helping others, JJK raised more than $12 million to build the Jackie Joyner Kersee Youth Center Foundation in her hometown of E. St. Louis, IL. She also keeps busy as the Chairperson of the St. Louis Sports Commission, and the Co-Founder of Jackie Joyner Kersee Racing (NASCAR). The March 2002 issue of Ebony included Joyner-Kersee on its list of the Top-10 Greatest African-American Women Athletes. In January of 2001, Sports Illustrated for Women named JJK the Greatest Female Athlete of the 20th Century. In 2003, the UCLA track and field programs hosted the first annual Rafer Johnson/Jackie Joyner-Kersee Invitational, named after two of the greatest Bruin athletes in school history.

On December 3, 2004, JJK was inducted into the U.S. Track and Field Hall of Fame.

MEMORIAL

Florence Griffith-Joyner (1958-1995) Florence Griffith Joyner, known to her friends as DeeDee and to the world as “Flo Jo”, died on Sept. 21, 1998 at the age of 38 of a seizure. Griffith Joyner starred as a Bruin runner from 1981-83. Flo Jo’s potential as a great runner was first witnessed at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, when she won a silver medal in the 200m. But it was four years later when she made the track world sit up and take notice of women’s sprinting. Flo Jo will be as famous for her skin-tight, one-legged running outfits, glittering fingernails and flowing hair as she will be for her two world records and five Olympic medals, including three gold. Flo Jo’s greatness first came through at the 1988 U.S. Olympic Trials in Indianapolis, where she set the world record in the 100m with a time of 10.49. Two months later at the ’88 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea, Flo Jo would captivate the world with her accomplishments. She won gold in the 100m (10.54w) and 200m, setting her second world-record (21.34), and anchored the winning U.S. 4x100m relay (41.98), while also winning a silver medal on the U.S. 4x400m relay. Those amazing accomplishments earned her the 1988 AP Female Athlete of the Year, USOC Sportswomen of the Year and Sullivan (top amateur athlete) awards. Flo Jo’s track career began to blossom while at UCLA. A 1978 graduate of Jordan HS in Los Angeles, Griffith Joyner first attended CS Northridge before transferring to UCLA. There, under the guidance of Bob Kersee and with teammates Jackie Joyner-Kersee and current Bruin women’s head coach Jeanette Bolden, the Bruins became the best women’s collegiate team in the nation, winning national team championships in 1982 and ’83. In 1982 as a junior, Flo Jo won the NCAA 200m title (22.39) and as a senior in ’83, won the NCAA 400m, setting at the time an NCAA record with a mark of 50.94.

was anxiously awaiting her 1998 induction into UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame (she died two weeks before the induction ceremony). Following her track career, Flo Jo remained involved as a public servant, serving on the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports and as a spokeswoman for Project Eco-School (a resource center for environmental education), the American Cancer Society, the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation and the Osteoporosis Business Coalition. She also received a Distinguished Service Award from the United Negro College Fund. Along As a student at UCLA with her husband Al Joyner, (JJK’s brother) who won a gold medal in the triple jump at the ’84 Olympics and who coached the UCLA women’s jumpers for two seasons (2002-01), they formed the Florence Griffith Joyner Youth Foundation. On Nov. 13, 1990, Flo Jo gave birth to her daughter, Mary Ruth, who is now 17 years old. Donations to the Mary Ruth Joyner trust fund can be sent to—Final Kick Marketing, 26522 La Alameda, Suite 270, Mission Viejo, CA, 92691.

On the Bruin all-time charts, her 100m mark of 11.06 is No. 2, and her times of 22.23 (a collegiate record) in the 200m and 50.94 in the 400m are No. 1.

The March 2002 issue of Ebony listed Griffith Joyner as one of the Top 10 Greatest African-American Women Athletes of all time.

Flo Jo was inducted into the U.S. Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1995 and

In 2004, Joyner’s 100m and 200m world records at the 1988 Olympics were named the 10th and 19th best moments in USA Track and Field history over the past 25 years.

MEMORIAL

Tom Bradley, 1917-1998 Tom Bradley, who in 1973 was elected as the first African-American mayor of Los Angeles and would serve an unprecedented five terms as the city’s mayor before stepping down in 1993, died on Sept. 29, 1998 of a heart attack at the age of 80. Bradley competed for the Bruin track team from 1938-40. Bradley was the most prominent political figure in the history of Los Angeles. In 1963 he was the first African-American elected to the City Council; served as mayor for 20 years presiding over a period of enormous growth; twice ran unsuccessfully for governor of California (in 1982, running against Republican George Deukmejian, Bradley came within 52,295 votes of becoming the first African-American to win the top office in any state) and he helped bring the Olympics back to Los Angeles in 1984. Born to sharecropper parents on Dec. 29, 1917 in Calvert, TX, Bradley’s family moved to Los Angeles in 1924. He attended John H. Francis Polytechnic High School, a mostly white campus, where he was the first African-American to be elected president of the Poly Boys’ League and the first to be inducted into the Ephebians, a national honor society. Bradley was also captain of the track team and a standout in the quarter-mile, long jump and relays. In 1937 he was the All-Southern California 440y champion. Bradley also made the All-City football squad as a tackle. After graduation from Poly HS, Bradley earned a track scholarship to attend UCLA. He was a three-year letterman, competing in the 440y, 880y and relays. His best time in the 440y was 48.2, in 1939. One of Bradley’s track teammates was Jackie Robinson, who would later break baseball’s color barrier. As a Bruin, Bradley was a prominent member of Kappa Alpha Psi UCLA’s AfricanAmerican fraternity. For his outstanding career achievements in public service and collegiate athletics, Bradley in 1977 was given the NCAA’s top honor, The Theodore Roosevelt Award. The inscription on the Roosevelt Award describes Bradley’s many and life-long contributions to the nation, the City of Los Angeles and to UCLA—The Teddy Award annually is presented to a prominent American “for whom competitive athletics in college and attention to physical well-being thereafter have been important factors in a distinguished career of national significance and achievement.”
