Crane Stadium/Tompkins Field
Crane Stadium / Tompkins Field has served as host site for numerous MIAA and Regional Tournaments.
In the spring of 1998 Central Missouri enjoyed the completion of an outstanding baseball facility to go with its already outstanding baseball program – James R. Crane Stadium at Robert N. Tompkins Field. A $1.2 million construction project, funded primarily by Crane, added a locker room and coaches’ offices for the Mules, an umpires’ dressing room, new dugouts, permanent seats, a concession stand, a press box and lights to the already existing playing field. In the fall of 2004, a new facility was added to include indoor batting cages and bullpens, a weight room, storage facility, and umpires dressing room. Following that in 2006, permanent seatback chairs were installed for the fans. All of this was funded by Crane. On January 21, 1998, Central Missouri’s Board of Governors approved the naming of the facility, formerly known as Mules’ Field, in honor of Crane and Tompkins. Official dedication ceremonies were held on May 2, 1998. The facility was showcased in the October 1998 issue of Athletics Administration magazine. The first night game played under the new lights took place on March 25, 1998, with the Mules beating Benedictine College 21-6. On the May 2 dedication day, the Mules swept a doubleheader from Truman State University, 14-2 and 10-4, in the first round of the MIAA Playoffs. The 1998 MIAA Postseason Tournament and the NCAA Central Regional Tournament also were played here, with the Mules winning both events. Tompkins, who died in July, 1996, at the age of 55, was the Mules’ baseball coach from 1965 through 1980. He designed the facility prior to its original construction in 1975. As coach, he compiled a 248-164-1 record (.602 winning percentage). His teams won MIAA championships in 1966, 1971 and 1974, went to the NCAA tournament in 1971 and 1974, and placed fourth at the 1974 NCAA Championship. He was voted MIAA Coach of the Year in 1974. Prior to becoming the Mules’ head coach, Tompkins had been a three-year letterman for the Mules as a pitcher. His 1974 team was inducted into the Central Missouri Athletic Hall of Fame in 1994 and he was inducted posthumously in 2002. Crane, who played for the Mules from 1973 through 1976, provided the lead gift for the additions to the facility. A 1997 Central Missouri Hall of Fame inductee, Crane was a standout pitcher during his career under Tompkins. He had a four-year record of 4
In the fall of 2004, a new facility was added to include indoor batting cages and bullpens, a weight room, storage facility, and umpires dressing room. This facility also was funded by former Mules baseball legend Jim Crane.

While this site originally was under construction in 1975, the Mules played their home games at Warrensburg’s Grover Park. Prior to 1975, the Mules had played at a site where the Multipurpose Building and its surrounding parking lots now are located, as well as at Grover Park. The first game played at this site was on March 22, 1976 vs. Kansas State University. The Mules won the first game of a doubleheader 2-1, while the Wildcats won game two 7-4.

Head Coach Tom Myers T o m M y e r s w a s h ir e d a s the 13th head coach in Central Missouri history in the summer of 2007. Now in his fifth season, the former Mules assistant boasts a 192-53 overall record and has taken the Mules to the NCAA-II World Series three times. He didn’t take long to continue the Mules’ winning tradition, capturing the Central Region title and taking the Mules to their 14th Division II World Series appearance in his first season. They went 47-17 overall and made it to the national semifinals, finishing in 4th place. For his efforts he was named the NABC Central Region Coach of the Year. In 2009 he led the Mules to the No. 1 seed and host of the NCAA South Central Regional with a 44-15 mark after returning only one position starter from the year before. He coached the second ABCA National Pitcher of the Year in school history, Chris Matlock, that season as well. He led them to the NCAA-II World Series for the second time in his tenure in 2010, finishing fifth, and capturing the South Central Regional crown. He also won his first MIAA Regular Season Championship and earned MIAA and South Central Region Coach of the Year honors. Last season, Myers guided the Mules back to the NCAA-II World Series for the third time after capturing the South Central Regional title. He took the Mules to their second straight MIAA Regular Season Championship and the MIAA Tournament title as well. He was named MIAA Coach of the Year for his efforts as UCM finished with a 49-10 overall record and won an MIAA record 37 conference games. He has coached three Mules that went to the minor league ranks in pitchers Jared Potts, who signed with the Toronto Blue Jays organization, Matlock, who was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 23rd round of the 2009 Major League Draft and Matt Curtis, who was signed by the Cleveland Indians last summer. Prior to taking the head job at Central Missouri, Myers spent the previous four seasons as an assistant at Kansas State University and before that, three seasons as an assistant coach at UCM, including the 2003 Division II National Championship season. During Myers first three years at U C M, the Mules went an outstanding 154-30 with a national runner-up and a championship. At Kansas State under former Mules head coach Brad Hill, Myers was the hitting and outfielders coach and steadily transformed the Wildcat offense into one of the best units in the Big XII Conference. In 2007, the Wildcats advanced to the post-season for the
second time in school history with an appearance in the Big XII Tournament in Oklahoma City. KSU outfielder Byron Wiley was named Second-Team All-Big 12. In 2006, K-State hit a Big 12-best .314 as a team overall, which included the Big 12 overall hitting leader in outfielder Joe Roundy (.389). The Wildcats boasted four of the Big 12’s top 20 hitters in Roundy, outfielder Barrett Rice (.368), catcher Brandon Farr (.337) and third baseman Jared Goedert (.337). Goedert was also selected in the 12th round of the MLB Draft by the Cleveland Indians and had a solid rookie campaign. In 2005, Myers led a Wildcat offense that hit .309 on the season, a number that was up an incredible 50 points from 2004 and was the sixth-best average in school history. In his first season at K-State, Myers guided Wildcat outfielders Steve Murphy and Terry Blunt to All-Big 12 honors as both were among the league’s top offensive players in 2004. Murphy led the ‘Cats with a .338 average while Blunt hit .305. Five Wildcat hitters coached by Myers signed professional contracts while at Kansas State. Under Myers, the Wildcats broke into the top 10 in the single-season school record books in seven different offensive categories including home runs, doubles, hits, runs, RBI’s, slugging and batting average. He previously served as assistant under Hill from 2000-01 before returning to his alma mater, Pittsburg State, for one season. During Myers’ first go-around at Central Missouri, the Mules posted an incredible .836 winning percentage with three consecutive 50-win seasons, three MIAA crowns and three trips to the Division II Baseball Championships. In addition, UCM led the league in batting average each of those three seasons. In 2003, Central Missouri captured its second national championship and first since 1994 with an 11-4 victory over the University of Tampa at Paterson Field in Montgomery, Ala. The Mules led the MIAA in nearly every offensive category in 2003, including scoring (9.53 runs per game), hits (602), RBIs (423), doubles (134), home runs (61) and batting average (.364). Six players ranked among the league’s top 11 in hitting, including batting leader Joe Strada, who also led in slugging percentage, doubles and RBIs. Myers helped coach two second team All-Americans in 2003 with Strada and third baseman Zach Norman along with six All-MIAA selections. Norman was named the conference’s Player of the Year, while outfielder Steve Murphy was the Freshman of the Year. Myers helped guide Central Missouri to a combined 103 wins in 2000 and 2001. The 2001 squad posted a then school-record 53 wins en route to advancing to its first championship game in seven years where the Mules lost to St. Mary’s of Texas by a score of 11-3. During the record-setting campaign, Myers helped coach first baseman Chris Umphres, the 2001 NCAA Division II Player of the Year, who ranked among the nation’s leaders in batting average (.448) and RBIs (1.44 per game). After his fourth season as head coach, Myers has now helped coach one NCAA Division II Player of the Year, one National Pitcher of the Year, five

2011 Year in Review The 2011 University of Central Missouri Mules picked up right where they left off in 2010. They won the MIAA Regular season title, won the MIAA Tournament crown and won the South Central Region title advancing to the NCAA-II World Series for the second straight year and the third time in four years under head coach Tom Myers. Central Missouri set a new MIAA record with 37 wins in conference play and tied for the regular season title, the second straight regular season championship. UCM led the MIAA in pitching (3.54 ERA), and fielding percentage (.975), and ranked third in batting (.320 average). The Mules went into the postseason as the No. 1 seed in the MIAA Tournament, played at Community America Ballpark in Kansas City, Kan. The 2011 MIAA Tournament was a six-team format, but featured a new aspect with virutal play-in games on Thursday afternoon. As the No. 1 seed, the Mules received a bye and faced fifth-seeded Missouri Western on day two. UCM came away with the 4-2 advancing through the winner’s bracket. Central Missouri took down second-seeded Emporia State 2-1 on Saturday to advance to the MIAA Tournament Championship on Sunday. The Mules made it three wins in three days as they defeated Nebraska Omaha 7-1 to capture their second straight MIAA Tournament title and 19th overall. Central Missouri then advanced to the South Central Regional in San Antonio, Texas as the No. 2 seed. Just as they did in the MIAA Tournament, the Mules made it a clean sweep at the South Central Regional going a perfect 4-0 to capture their second straight regional crown, third under head coach Tom Myers and the 16th regional championship in school history. UCM defeated Tarleton State (3-2), Emporia State (8-1) and the No. 1 seed St. Mary’s (Texas) (5-2) before beating Incarnate Word, 7-0, in the championship tilt. The Mules headed to Cary, North Carolina for the NCAA Championships as the third-ranked team in the country. The Central Missouri offense got off to a slow start in the opening round game and the comeback effort fell short in a 4-3 loss to Winona State. UCM moved into an elimination game against No. 6 Millersville (Pa.) where they struggled offensively and dropped a 1-0 decision and were eliminated from competition. The Mules surrendered just one first-inning run, but that was all it took as UCM was limited to three hits in the contest. Individually, several Mules were honored following the season. First baseman Nick DeBiasse was a second team All-American with shortstop Bret Schwartz earning third team honors from the ABCA and honorable mention accolades from the NCBWA. DeBiasse also took hom MIAA Player of the Year honors. All-Region honors went to DeBiasse, Schwartz, Don Lisi, Tyler Anthony and Tyler Ruch. Seven Mules were named to the All-South Central Region Tournament Team in DeBiasse, Lisi, Schwartz, Matt Curtis, Albert Selanders, Travis Unthank and Jon Wegener. Curtis was named the Most Valuable Player after tossing a complete game four-hitter in the championship game. The All-MIAA squad was loaded with Mules as well, with Anthony, DeBiasse, Lisi , Ruch and Schwartz earning first-team accolades. Second-team honors went to Curtis and Wegener. Selanders, third baseman Frank Specht and left-hander Danny Pojte were honorable mention picks. Lisi was the MIAA Pitcher of the Year and Head Coach Tom Myers was named MIAA Coach of the Year for the second straight year.

REVIEW
Central battled through the losers bracket to down Missouri-St. Louis 6-1 and 8-4 to claim the MIAA title. Now it was on the NCAA Regional and again the Mules got to play on their home field. First they defeated Northern Colorado in a 7‑5 thriller before unleashing a pair of awesome offensive displays, pounding South Dakota State 20-8 and 19-7. Next stop: Montgomery, Alabama, for the NCAA Division II Championship. At Montgomery, the Mules found themselves seeded second in the eight-team field behind top-ranked Florida Southern. After defeating California-Riverside, 9-6, in game one and Armstrong State, 8-7, in game two, the Mules dropped a 10-3 decision to James Smith – winning pitcher in the perrenial power Delta State University. title game. Photo Courtesy/Montgomery Examiner Not to be detered, though, Central came back and beat the Statesmen 8-2 to advance to its first-ever trip to the national championship game, where the Mules faced powerful Florida Southern, the team ranked number one in Division II throughout much of the season and a school that had won seven previous national titles. After two innings, the Mules were trailing 4-0. After five innings, the Mules had gotten on the scoreboard, but still trailed 6-2. Florida Southern decided to go for the knockout punch and brought in pitching ace David Harris, even though he had pitched a nine-inning complete game the day before. Butr a six-run sixth inning sent Harris to the showers and put the Mules ahead for the first time. After Florida Southern tied the game in the eighth, the Mocs sent relief ace Tom Szimanski to the mound for the top of the ninth. Szimanski had allowed just two earned runs all season. When he left after retiring just one of six batters, he had been charged with two runs and left the bases loaded. They didn’t stay loaded very long, though. Eric Stuckenschneider walked to force in a run, then Morgan Burkhart, the Mules’ starting pitcher who had stayed in the game as the DH, ripped a double barely fair down the left field line to clear the bases. The Mules led 14-8 going to the bottom of the ninth, but the Mocs loaded the bases with no outs. Smith then went to work and retired the next three batters and the Mules had made history with a 14-9 victory. Senior third baseman Rick Ladjevich was named NCAA Division II Player of
the Year after batting .460 with 14 homers and 97 RBI, and VanHorn (though he was not named MIAA Coach of the Year, was selected Division II Coach of the Year. All-America honors also went to Stuckenschneider (first-team outfielder), who had overcome a rare blood disorder that very nearly ended his career, and former walk-on Bob Poisal (pitcher). Indeed, the Mules’ trail to the 1994 title may have been improbable, but it certainly was successful and became the dream of a lifetime come true – 1994 NCAA Division II National Champions.
MULES BASEBALL
To say that the Mules’ improbable trek to the 1994 national title followed an unusual trail would be a vast understatement. After all, this was a team that didn’t have a head coach six weeks before its season began. Dennis Woody had built the team for his fourth season as head coach, but in November the Kansas City Royals offered him a chance to join their scouting department. It was a career move he felt he couldn’t pass up. There was no shortage of applicants for the job – 108 to be exact. After Dave Van Horn interviewed Dave Van Horn 1994 NCAA Division II for the job, there was no question who the next Coach of the Year Mules’ head coach would be. Van Horn had built a successful program at Texarkana Junior College and also had strong ties to the University of Arkansas, where he had been a player and later an assistant coach. He had been a winner wherever he had been. Little did UCM fans know what an impact he would have. After going 38-9 in the regular season, the Mules opened postseason play.

No, in 2003, the Mules went out and won the whole enchilada for the second time in school history. Unlike their first crown in 1994 when the numbers didn’t speak highly for the Mules, the 2003 squad put up some impressive statistics. UCM was fourth in the nation in batting, fifth in scoring, sixth in fielding, and seventh in team earned run average. The Mules baseball team clinched the MIAA regular season title with season-ending sweeps of Washburn and Northwest Missouri Brad Hill 2003 NCAA Division II State, and then downed Coach of the Year Missouri Western and Emporia State to claim the leage tournament title. Next UCM rolled through the Regional Tournament with a 3-0 mark, defeating Minnesota-Duluth in the opening round and taking two from Rockhurst. Then it was on to Montgomery, Ala. for the fourth year in a row. The Mules swept through the field, going 4-0, to win their second national championship. In the opening round, the Mules drew Grand Valley State University. It took a stellar pitching performance by junior righthander Danny Powers and some late-inning heroics to pick up the 3-2 win. Powers scattered five hits in eight innings and struck out four while walking none for the win. Still, it was 2-2 going into the ninth. Steve Downey took care of that, as he singled to right, stole second and third, and scored the game-winner on Tommy Bryant’s sacrifice fly to shallow left field. Eric Horner then workd a perfect ninth to pick up his school-record 15th career save. Game two was not nearly as exciting, as UCM thumped Franklin Pierce 11-4. Carrying a 3-2 lead through three innings, the Mules exploded for six runs in the fourth. Phil Sobkow struck out nine to get the win, while Zach Norman went 4-for-5 with a pair of runs scored. And then the excitement began again. It was deja vu all over again for the Mules in the semifinals of the D-II Championships. After dropping a pair of games in extra innings in the 2002 World Series, the Mules found themselves in a similar position against Kennesaw State. But unlike those two efforts the previous year, this time it was Central Missouri which stood on top, as reliever Steve McReynolds, who hadn’t pitched in three weeks, came on to hold the Owls at bay. Leading 4-3, Steve Murphy extended the advantage in the sixth with a mammoth home run to center field. Kennesaw State, though, rallied with a run in the seventh, and Clint Watters homered to right off Mules closer Eric Horner in the top of the ninth to tie the game at 5-5. McReynolds’ effort (three innings of scoreless relief) set the stage for Zach Norman, as the All-America third baseman singled home Danny Guidry in the bottom of the 13th to advance the Mules to the championship game against Tampa. The Championship game, like round two, was all

Mules. Up 3-0, UCM saw Tampa score four runs in the fourth. But UCM responded with two runs in the sixth, another in the seventh, and five in an eighth-inning explosion, highlighted by Zach Norman and Joe Strada home runs. Danny Powers again claimed the win, allowing seven hits and four runs while striking out four over seven innings. Steve Downey was unstoppable in the contest, going 5-for-5 with two runs, an RBI, a double, and a stolen base to lead the Mules to their second national championship. The Mules finished 51-7 on the year and became the only team in NCAA Division II history to ever win 50 games four consecutive years. They were an amazing 25-1 in conference action. Junior first baseman Joe Strada and junior third baseman Zach Norman were named second-team All-Americans. Strada batted .415 with 22 doubles, seven triples, 11 home runs, and 84 runs batted in, while Norman hit .411 with 21 doubles, four triples, 15 home runs, 87 RBI, and 17 stolen bases. Sophomore Danny Powers went a perfect 10-0 on the year with a 2.49 ERA. Junior lefthander Nick Denning was 9-1 on the season, and junior Phil Sobkow finished at 8-0 with 82 strikeouts in 68.2 innings of work. Sobkow was drafted in the 10th round by the Los Angeles Dodgers, while Norman signed a free agent contract with the Philadelphia Phillies.

On June 27, 2000, former Mules’ first baseman Morgan Burkhart made his major league debut with the Boston Red Sox and, in doing so, became the first former Mules’ baseball player to appear in a major league game. In his first major league at-bat, Burkhart singled off the Orioles’ Mike Mussina. He was 2-for-4 in the game. He wound up playing in 25 games with the Red Sox in 2000, hitting .288 with four home runs and 18 RBI. In 2001 Burkhart spent most of the season at Pawtucket (R.I.), where he hit .269 with 25 home runs and 62 RBI. He made his second trip to the major leagues that year, when he played in 11 games with Boston, hitting .182 with one home run and four RBI. However, the Red Sox released him after the 2001 season. In 2002, Burkhart played in 42 games with Japan’s Fukuoka Daiei Hawks before being signed by the Kansas City Royals for the 2003 season. In six games for the Royals, he went 3-for-15 (.200). Burkhart spent most of the season with Kansas City’s Triple A affiliate in Omaha, Neb., where he batted .251 with 17 home runs, 18 doubles, and 57 RBI. A key member of the Mules’ 1994 national championship team, Burkhart had spent five-plus seasons in the minor leagues before being called up. With Pawtucket in 2000, he hit .255 with 23 home runs and 77 RBI. Before the Red Sox signed him to a minor league contract in 1998, Burkhart had enjoyed a stellar career in the independent Frontier League for Richmond, Indiana. He won three league MVP awards and was Baseball America’s Independent Player of the Year in 1998, when he hit .404 with 36 home runs and 98 RBI in 80 games. In fact, the Frontier League Most Valuable Player award is now named in his honor. In 1999 he was named MVP of the Mexican winter league after hitting 18 home runs Morgan Burkhart, for whom the and driving in 55 runs in 67 games.

About the MIAA Over the past 94 years, the MIAA has gained the reputation of being one of the top NCAA Division II conferences in the nation. MIAA student-athletes have won 13 NCAA team championships and, since 1964, over 165 individual national titles. The MIAA currently conducts championships in seven sports for men and seven for women. For the men, champions are crowned in football, cross country, basketball, indoor and outdoor track & field, baseball, tennis and golf. The women compete for titles in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, indoor and outdoor track & field, softball and tennis. The MIAA turned a new page on July 1, 1992, when the NCAA Division II conference changed its name from the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association sto the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association. The decision to make the change originated in 1989, when Pittsburg State University and Washburn University became the first schools outside the state of Missouri to gain membership in the MIAA. The conference was first organized in 1912 with 14 member institutions. Of those original members, University of Central Missouri, Truman State University, and Northwest Missouri State University are the only original schools still members. The first change in membership came in 1924, when the MIAA reorganized to include only the five regional Missouri state colleges: Central, Truman (at the time known as Northeast Missouri State), Northwest, Southeast Missouri State University and Southwest Missouri State University. Over the next 56 years, three schools joined the membership: the Missouri School of Mines (now University of Missouri-Rolla) in 1935, Lincoln University in 1970, and the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 1980. The 1980s brought the biggest changes in the conference. In 1981, Southwest Missouri State University opted to move to NCAA Division I and the MIAA appointed its first full-time commissioner, Ken Jones, in July. He would be in the position for 16 years, retiring in 1997. Former Gulf South and Metro commissioner Ralph McFillen succeeded Jones and served until 2006. Former Texas A&M-Commerce athletic director and Central Missouri associate athletic director Jim Johnson took over for McFillen in July of 2006. On Sept. 20, 2010, Dr. Bob Boerigter became the fourth full-time MIAA Commissioner replacing Johnson, who resigned to become the athletic director at Pittsburg State. Boerigter spent nine years as the athletic director at Northwest Missouri State. Southwest Baptist University brought membership back to eight schools in 1986, before the major expansion of the conference in 1989. Pittsburg State, Washburn, Missouri Southern State College (now University) and Missouri Western State University – formerly members of the Central States Intercollegiate Conference – began competition in the 1989-90 season. Southeast Missouri State left the MIAA following the 1990-91 season to move on to NCAA Division I, and was replaced by Emporia State University in the 1991-92 season. In August 1991, Judy Willson was hired as the MIAA’s first full-time sports information director. She left in 1994, and was succeeded by Matt Newbery, formerly the assistant sports information director at Pittsburg State. He became assistant commissioner for media relations in 2005. He left in the summer of 2009, and was replaced by Kellen Coleman. Larry House started in the summer of 2007 assisting the MIAA in the marketing of the conference events and Amber Feldman joined the MIAA offices as Assistant Commissioner for Compliance in August 2011. The membership of the MIAA is now at 11 schools with the addition of Fort Hays (Kan.) State University in 2006 and Lincoln University re-entering the league in 2010-11.

This is Central Missouri The University of Central Missouri has provided quality postsecondary education to the state and nation for nearly 140 years. UCM was founded in 1871 as a regional normal school for teacher preparation and has grown into a comprehensive university that offers more than 150 areas of study. More important than numbers, however, is the high quality of its regionally, nationally and internationally known programs. UCM is Missouri’s lead institution in professional applied sciences and technology. Just take a look at why Central Missouri is right for you.
The Right Size
Central Missouri is a state leader in discipline specific accreditations. The university’s quality programs, small class sizes, opportunities for hands-on experience right from the beginning, and personalized attention from a dedicated faculty are all UCM hallmarks. In addition, nearly 11,000 students from all over the state, nation and world help to make the university’s learning environment positive and friendly.
The Right Place
The University of Central Missouri is located in Warrensburg, a friendly community of 18,000 people near the intersection of U.S. Highway 50 and Missouri Route 13. Warrensburg is only 35 miles from suburban Kansas City, with its many cultural offerings, entertainment options and professional sports franchises. Other recreational opportunities include the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks 90 minutes to the southeast.
The Right Price
Central Missouri’s Office of Student Financial Services disburses nearly $90 million annually in federal, state, institutional, and private assistance. More than 75 percent of the students who enroll at UCM receive some form of financial assistance, making an already reasonably priced Central Missouri education even more affordable.
The Right Time
Because of Central Missouri’s outstanding reputation, hundreds of leading businesses, industries, schools and government agencies actively recruit its graduates each year. UCM currently has a 92 percent job placement rate of graduates within six months of graduation. Central Missouri is dedicated to training Missouri’s workforce and emphasizes programs that are critical to Missouri’s future. The university also works with business and industry to retrain and continually educate people who are already in the job market.
74
The Right “Stuff”
Central Missouri’s 1,500-acre campus includes the 300-acre Pertle Springs biological research area and recreational park with the 18-hole Keth Memorial Golf Course; Max B.

The Right Programs
Central Missouri is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. All of its teacher education programs are dually accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education and the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. All undergraduate and graduate business administration degree programs in Central Missouri’s Adrian and Margaret Harmon College of Business and Professional Studies have earned the prestigious accreditation of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business-International.

Board of Governors
Charles M. Ambrose, Ed.D., became 15th president of the University of Central Missouri Aug. 1, 2010. A career educator who is a fervent advocate of servant leadership and engaged learning, he is committed to promoting academic quality, excellence in teaching, and the collegiate experience. Prior to accepting his UCM post, Ambrose served for 12 years as president of Pfeiffer University, an independent, comprehensive institution located in Misenheimer, N.C. When he was recruited as Pfeiffer’s president, Ambrose was only 36 years old, making him the youngest serving president of a college or university in North Carolina in 1998.

During his first year at UCM, President Ambrose helped guide the institution through the building of a new Strategic Governance Model in partnership with the Association for Governing Boards. He also provided leadership through an extensive administrative and academic review process designed to provide a stronger, more viable educational experience for students, while also cutting operational costs. Under his direction, the campus began the development of a new strategic positioning initiative to provide a more articulated understanding of what makes UCM unique, and help guide the institution in establishing its future priorities. The president continued to build strong relationships with the men and women who serve this country. This includes the establishment of the Whiteman Advantage Program, which brings together personnel from Whiteman Air Force Base and the university to work cooperatively in creating new educational opportunities for military members. The university also developed the Military Tuition Package, which provides savings on an education for military men and women currently serving their country, as well as their spouses and dependents, and veterans.
Board Secretary Warrensburg
Governor Columbia
Dr. Ambrose has sought to build student enrollment, and effort which paid off in fall 2011with 11,750 students taking classes, the largest enrollment in the university’s 140-year history. To help make education more accessible, the university also entered new articulation agreements with institutions such as Metropolitan Community College and Linn State Technical College. In addition to his presidency at Pfeiffer and UCM, Ambrose served as vice president for advancement at Carson-Newman College, assistant to the chancellor for university advancement at Western Carolina University, and executive assistant to the president at the American Association of State Colleges and Universities in Washington, D.C. He’s also a former faculty member, having taught graduate classes in higher education administration and legal issues.

It could be said Kathy Anderson’s athletic life has come full circle. She was an All-America student-athlete at the University of Central Missouri, she’s had her number 32 retired in Jennies basketball, and is a member of the UCM Athletic Hall of Fame. Now Anderson helps UCM student-athletes achieve their own goals, as she begins her seventh year at her alma mater. She was elevated to Senior Associate Athletic Director for Internal Operations and Senior Woman Administrator in 2011 after serving the past six years as Associate Athletic Director for Internal Operations and Senior Woman Administrator. Anderson had served previously as Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance and Student Services at Northwest Missouri State University. Prior to assuming her role at Northwest, Anderson served a brief stint as admission and eligibility coordinator at the University of Washington. She added those duties in the summer of 2002 to her responsibilities as operations coordinator for men’s basketball for the Huskies. In addition, Anderson was assistant basketball coach in 2000 for the Seattle Storm and in 1998 for the Phoenix Mercury of the WNBA. Her coaching career began in 1980, when she was hired as assistant women’s basketball coach at California State-Fullerton. She served there from 1980-85 before moving on to the University of Washington as assistant basketball coach from 1985-96, and as assistant director of basketball operations from 1996-98. Anderson received a bachelor’s degree from UCM in 1980, graduating cum laude in physical education and mathematics. While wearing the Cardinal & Black, she lettered four years in basketball, three years in softball, and once in track & field. In 1979-80 she was named second-team Academic All-American, and in 1980 she was honored as UCM Outstanding Senior Female Student-Athlete and Outstanding Senior in Physical Education. With the Jennies belonging to the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) and playing today what would be considered a Division I schedule, she helped lead the Jennies to an 82-31 record. She also was named to the Jennies Basketball All-Decade Team for 1970-80 and the Jennies Basketball Silver Anniversary Team for 1970-95. Perhaps her most outstanding accomplishment was being a member of the USA Women’s National Basketball program for the three years leading to the 1980 Olympics which the USA boycotted. In 1977, Anderson served as captain of the USA Women’s Junior Basketball team to Taiwan. In 1978 and 1979, she was a member of the USA Women’s Senior Basketball teams that traveled to China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan and Russia. In 1979, Anderson also was selected as an alternate to the Pan-American Games USA team. During the summer of 2010, Anderson was inducted into the inaugural MIAA Hall of Fame class for her outstanding accomplishments at UCM. Anderson has also served as past chair for the Division II softball committee and Chair of the Insitutional Representatives for the MIAA. She is currently a member of the NCAA Division II women’s basketball committee. Anderson earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Seattle Pacific University in 2000.

Why the Mules? Take a Mule Refresher and Learn What’s So Special about Missouri’s State Animal
Often called mankind’s most successful hybrid, mules are the offspring of crossing a male donkey or jack with a female horse or mare. Since they can’t reproduce, mules have been bred one generation at a time for more than 3,000 years. A strong, resourceful beast of burden, the mule can outwork, outpull, outlive and outsmart a horse of similar size and type. In 1995, the mule became Missouri’s official state animal, but the long-eared creatures have been known as “Missouri Mules” long before then. The term, “Missouri Mules,” was used casually until it became famous at the historic 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. At that exposition a six-mule hitch belonging to W. A. Elgin of Platte County swept all competition, and a mule from a Morgan County farm received the $10,000 Mayor’s Award. Newspaper accounts of this show-ring prowess brought worldwide attention to the state’s mule breeders and helped assure that the largest and finest animals would be known as “Missouri Mules.”
donkeys. So, the relationship of mules and jennies is really the same as nephew/niece and aunt. Jenny is a common name but technically a female donkey is a jennet. Popular with farmers and settlers because of its hardy nature, Missouri Mules pulled pioneer wagons to the Wild West and played a crucial role in moving troops, artillery and supplies in several wars. In fact, many of the mules used in World War I were shipped by train from Warrensburg. The mule’s affiliation with Central Missouri dates back to the early 1920s. When the 1921-22 school year began, school officials decided “Normals” and “Teachers” were no longer appropriate nicknames for UCM’s athletic teams. Therefore, the school’s Athletic Committee established a contest that promised the winner a three-year postgraduate subscription of the school newspaper. More than 80 suggestions were received, but the winning entry was submitted by John Thomason of Chilhowee, class of 1924, who felt at least one Missouri team should be known as “Mules.” Central Missouri’s fifth mascot - Mancow - is the university’s first real Missouri mule. The line-back brown mule comes from Paradise Mules in Belle, Mo. It took several months for farm manager Dave Ewing to find the perfect mule. He was determined to acquire the right mule trained to remain calm around big crowds and loud noises - that game cannon gets loud! Mancow the Mule is the second UCM mule to be tall (14.1 hands), a result of her thoroughbred heritage. The university’s first three mules were Shetland Pony breeds. She’s the second mule to be presented to the university as a gift. Erich “Mancow” Muller, ‘88, made a gift to purchase the new mascot. Abbedale, her immediate predecessor, was donated to the university by 1938 alumnus and well-known mule producer, Sam Smiser from Newhall, Calif. The 10-year-old mare mule represented the university at home football games and other events. UCM agriculture students care for her at Prussing Farm, a few miles east of Warrensburg on Division Road. Following her first appearance at the 2004 Missouri State Fair, Mancow saw her first game action, as Central Missouri hosted MIAA-rival Northwest Missouri State on Sept. 11.

PLAYERS
In the late 1800s and early 1900s Warrensburg was considered the Missouri Mule Capital because of the Horse and Mule Barn operated by the Jones Brothers on Railroad Street. Mules from the area won prizes at the State Fair (located just 30 minutes east in Sedalia, Mo.) and at even larger expositions like the one in St. Louis in 1904. The mule barn carried the motto, “Through these portals pass the finest mules on earth.”

Warrensburg is a city that emerged from a frontier gathering place more than 150 years ago. In 1833, a blacksmith from Kentucky named Martin Warren chose a well-travelled spot along an Osage Indian Trail to build a cabin and set up his blacksmith shop. His shop served as an informal gathering place for local farmers. Three years after moving to Missouri, Mr. Warren’s shop was named the county seat of the newly created County of Johnson. The township was named Warren’s Burg in honor of the local blacksmith, and in 1855, the township was incorporated and became the City of Warrensburg. It is that same strong midwestern work ethic displayed by its founder, and the same friendly atmosphere shown by his neighbors that may be seen in Warrensburg today.

Football finished ranked fifth, women’s indoor and outdoor finished sixth and Jennies bowling was seventh. Baseball ended the season ranked seventh, men’s outdoor track came in eighth and Jennies soccer was ninth. Individually, UCM had 46 different All-American seasons and performances. They also took home three individual national championships in track and field. Lindsay Lettow captured the pentathlon (indoor) and heptathlon (outdoor) titles, while Brent Vogel won the decathlon (outdoor). Eric Czerniewski won the Harlon Hill Award as the NCAA-II Football Player of the Year and Shawn Boss earned the NCAA Elite 88 Award for the top GPA at the Indoor Track Championships. Many schools brag of an overall grade point average between 2.5 and 2.9 for their 300 or so student-athletes. For the past 11 years, though, UCM’s more than 500 student-athletes have enjoyed an overall GPA of at least 3.00.
