This is the University of 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.
The Right “Stuff” Central Missouri’s 1,500-acre campus includes the 300acre Pertle Springs biological research area and recreational park with the 18-hole Keth Memorial Golf Course; Max B. Swisher Skyhaven Airport; Missouri Safety Center; 100,000-watt public broadcasting stations KMOS-TV and KTBGFM; Prussing Research Farm; South Recreation Complex; and the main campus with its instructional buildings, 19 residence halls, Audrey J. Walton Stadium at Vernon Kennedy Field, Elliott Union, James R. Crane Stadium at Robert N. Tompkins Field, and UCM Multipurpose Building. As a well-known cultural center, UCM provides abundant opportunities to attend events and exhibitions of the fine and performing arts. 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. In addition, programs that include art, athletic training, aviation, chemistry, drafting technology, education, industrial hygiene, manufacturing and construction, music, nursing, occupational safety, social work, and speech pathology and audiology are all nationally accredited.

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. Dr. Ambrose has sought to build student enrollment, and effort which paid off in fall 2011 with 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. Ambrose has participated in many scholarly and professional activities throughout his career, and served for two years as chair of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II Presidents Council. President Ambrose attended Furman University, where he was a four-year letterman and captain of the soccer team. After graduating from Furman with a bachelor’s degree in sociology, he earned two advanced degrees in higher education administration, a master’s from the University of Louisville and a Doctor of Education degree from the University of Georgia. Ambrose and his wife, Kris, are active in the community, and have supported through charitable bike rides causes that fight poverty, hunger and disease. The Ambroses have two children Charlie, a college sophomore; and Kathryn, a high school junior.

Senior Associate Athletics Director for Internal Operations Phone: 660-543-4310 Email: klanderson@ucmo.edu
It could be said Kathy Anderson’s athletic life has come full circle. She was an All-America studentathlete 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 secondteam 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.

UCM Athletics Winning Tradition
183 MIAA Titles, 7 National Titles The University of Central Missouri has a long and rich history of excellence in athletics, both on the field of play and in the classroom. Outstanding teams, combined with some of the finest facilities in Division II athletics give UCM’s students, faculty and staff one more aspect of college life to enjoy with pride. Always a contender for conference titles, Central Missouri belongs to the 12-member Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association, which is recognized nationwide as one of the strongest conferences in all of NCAA Division II. Since 1983, the tenure of Athletic Director Jerry Hughes, UCM has won or shared 129 MIAA championships, more than any other league school. All-time, the Mules have taken home 129 titles, while the Jennies are at 54. Central Missouri has won five national championships since 1980 (men’s and women’s basketball in 1984--the first school in NCAA history to win both titles in the same season--baseball in 1994 and 2003, and
bowling in 2003), and seven overall. The Jennies volleyball team has been to the NCAA Tournament every season for the past 28 years, and the Mules have won 15 MIAA Indoor Track & Field titles in the last 17 years, and 10 of the last 11 MIAA Outdoor Track & Field crowns.

Kip Janvrin
Track & Field Co-Head Coach
Kip Janvrin shares the head-coaching duties for track & field with Pedersen. He is in his 23rd season on the Central Missouri staff, his 16th as co-head coach. Janvrin works primarily with the sprinters, hurdlers, and multi-event athletes. For years, ranked as one of the world’s top athletes in the decathlon, winning the 2001 USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Janvrin reached the pinnacle of his career in 2000 as a member of the U.S. Olympic Team in the Sydney Olympic Games. To make the U.S. team at the Olympic Trials, he had to run the final decathlon event, the 1,500m, in under 4:13. He won the event in 4:12.01 to make the U.S. team. In Sydney, Janvrin, the oldest U.S. decathlete to ever compete in the Olympics, placed 21st and was the winner in the 1,500m. He is the world record holder for most career decathlon wins (41) and the American record holder for most career decathlons over 8,000 points (26). After placing fourth in the decathlon trials, Janvrin just missed making the 1996 U.S. Olympic Team. Later that summer, he scored a personal-best 8,462 points, which at the time, made him the sixth-highest performer in U.S. decathlon history. In the fall of 2003, Janvrin set a world record in the double decathlon, competing in 20 track & field events over two days in Turku, Finland. In 2005, he set a World Masters (40+) Decathlon Record in San Sabastian, Spain. Janvrin has won the decathlon a record 15 times at the Drake Relays, the most by any athlete in the history of the competition. In 1996, he was inducted into the Drake Relays Hall of Fame. He also won the decathlon at the 1989 U.S. Olympic Festival and 1995 Pan Am Games. A 1988 graduate of Simpson College (Iowa), Janvrin had an outstanding collegiate career, winning three NCAA Division-III championships in the decathlon, as well as individual championships in the pole vault and 400m hurdles. The 46-year-old Janvrin, is married to the former Teresa Snyder, who was a stand-out performer for the Jennies’ track team (1986-89). They have two sons, Jaxon, who is 15, and Mason, born just hours before the Pedersen twins in 1998, who is 13. The coaching tandem of Pedersen and Janvrin has produced 18 MIAA men’s and seven MIAA women’s indoor championships, 20 MIAA men’s outdoor titles (1994, 1998, 2001-2004, 2006-2011) and three Jennies outdoor championships. This July, Janvrin will lead the U.S. team as head coach at the NACAC Under-23 Championships, a competition between North American, Central American, and Caribbean nations, taking place this year in Guanajuato, Mexico.

Mules Claim 4th While Lettow Guides Jens to 6th at NCAA Indoor Track National Championships (Albuquerque, N.M.) – University of Central Missouri track and field had 12 athletes compete in the NCAA Indoor National Championships; the Mules repeated the fourth-place showing of a year ago, tying the highest finish since they took third in 1998. The Jens improved to sixth from 12th a year ago. In all, the Mules had seven All-America efforts, and the Jennies took home six individual trophies. Day one began with the first wave of heptathlon events. Brent Vogel gave a personal record in the long jump (22’07.25”). He was second after day one. Drew Frizzell saved his best effort for last in the weight throw (70’05.25”). As the 2011 runner-up, he is a four-time indoor weight throw AllAmerican. Another senior, Chris Millentree made it to the podium. His PR in the high jump (6’11.50”) secured fourth-place in the event and the second All-American showing of his career. The leap ranks third in the UCM indoor record book. The final highlight of day one came from junior Lindsay Lettow in the long jump. In the first of her three events, she connected on a 19 foot jump, just four inches shy of the school record. She took fourth and the first of three All-American efforts of the meet. The remainder of the heptathlon kicked off day two. Vogel’s opened the day with a PR in the 60 meter hurdles (8.28). Elite 88 award recipient Shawn Boss posted a PR in the pole vault (14’05.25”), locking him in third before the final event. Vogel and Boss entered the 1000 meters in second and third, respectively. The 1000 has always been a strong event for Vogel, but he needed to gain approximately an 18 second advantage over Brad Gamble to win a heptathlon national title. He did run a PR (2:35.39), but an 11 second margin of victory over Gamble was not enough for the National Championship. Vogel
took second with a school record 5,385 points, and Boss finished third with his PR of 5,076. Lettow stole the show in the pentathlon. Her 4,064 points were a meet record and the most points ever scored by an NCAA Division-II athlete in the event. That was plenty for the 2011 MIAA Heptathlon Champion, and South Central Regional Athlete of the Year, to claim her first career National Championship, and second All-America honor of the meet. Freshman Erin Alewine also gave an All-American performance in the pentathlon, taking fifth (3,601). In a great display of heart, she also took seventh in the high jump, which began before the pentathlon had completed. Alewine had to leave the high jump area to run the 800 meter portion of the Pentathlon, then return immediately to the high jump pit to attempt the next bar. 2009 high jump National Champion Jenna Schmidt returned to the podium by taking fourth in the event (5’08.50”). Senior Brett Carter snuck into the mile run finals with a 4:18.85 in the prelims. His time in the finals was much faster (4:12.03) and garnered a sixthplace finish, the first of the senior’s career. The Jennies looked to Lettow to score more team points in the 60 hurdle finals. She did not disappoint. In her eighth event of the meet (including the 60 hurdles prelims) she turned a sixth-place finish, taking the podium for the third time in the meet. Overall, she scored 18 of the Jens’ 28.5 team points. Laban Sialo was the last to score points in the team standings for the Mules in his 5000 meter race. Sialo patiently waited to kick at the right time, but it was his countryman Amos Sang (Abilene Christian) who took the gold in the 5000. Sialo’s fourth-place finish was the second All-American finish of his career, the first indoor.
ncaa outdoor Championships
May 26-28, 2011 • Turlock, Calif. 15 All-American Trophies for UCM Athletes at 2011 Outdoor Track Championships
(Turlock, Calif.) – University of Central Missouri track and field had 15 student-athletes at the NCAA Outdoor National Championships, competing in 27 individual events, Thursday thru Saturday. Together the Mules and Jens posted 15 All-America performances, two of which were National Championships by Lindsay Lettow (Urbandale, Iowa) and Brent Vogel (Jefferson City, Mo.). Lettow is the Jens first National Champion in the heptathlon. With more than a 200-point cushion to start day two, she cruised to a 129 point margin of victory. Her final score (5,514) is the second highest of her career and the eighth All-America finish in her three years as a Jenny. It was no small feat considering she also long jumped and ran in the 400 meter hurdles after the heptathlon events on day one. She qualified for the finals and snagged sixth-place in the hurdles for a second appearance on an All-American podium. She has five AA finishes this year. The Jennies racked up 17 points in the Hep. as Erin Alewine (Jefferson City, Mo.) and senior Angela Selby (Galena, Mo.) finished All-America in the event, taking third and eighth respectively. Both improved by one spot in the final event, the 800 meter run. As a freshman, Alewine has earned three Top-eight finishes this season. Vogel followed suit with a National Championship in the decathlon (7,462). Trailing by 80 points with the javelin and 1500 meter run to go, Vogel orchestrated a major point-swing and took a 117-point lead into the 1500 meters. He only needed to beat one man, but gutted out a PR (4:22.54) to beat the nearest athlete by more than 20-seconds. Vogel earned the top-spot with a 285-point
margin of victory, becoming the fourth Mule to win a decathlon Championship. It’s only the second time in NCAA Division II Championships meet history that a school has had male and female multi-event National Champions in the same meet. Abilene Christian did it in 2007. Each team had a three-time All-American thrower. In the women’s hammer, Kayla Muyskens (Yale, Iowa) scored the Jennies first points of the meet with a sixth-place showing (178’05”). She would end the meet as a career seven-time All-American following a fifthplace finish in the shot put (48’02.50”) and taking 8th in the discus. Drew Frizzell (Chillicothe, Mo.) ended his collegiate Mule hammer throwing career with a runner-up finish launching his best effort on the opening throw (219’10”). His mark is the highest runnerup finish in the history of NCAA-II. The event winner set a meet record (230’02”) with the second longest throw in NCAA-II history. Frizzell also took home trophies for seventh-place finishes in the shot (58’10”) and discus (170’07”). Mule distance specialist Laban Sialo (Kapsabet, Kenya) competed very well, earning AA in both the 5K and 10K races. Only two seconds separated him from a National Championship in the 5K as the junior took sixth (4:14.65). His time was good for fifth in the 10K (29:35.20). Both were improvements over his seed times. Both a Mule and Jenny high jumper graced the podium as well. For the men it was Chris Millentree (Lexington, Mo.) clearing just under his PR (6’10.75”) on the second attempt that garnered a tie for sixth. Jenna Schmidt (Sioux Falls, S.D.) took home the eighthplace trophy (5’07.25”).

Mules & Jennies National Champions
Central Missouri has won 23 individual national championships in track and field / cross country. Two standout distance runners from Russia, Vladimir Golias and Alexandr Alexin, won four each. Golias won the NCAA Division II 3,000-meter steeplechase four straight years. He became only the second athlete in Division II history to win any event four straight years. He earned a total of seven AllAmerica awards in track and cross country while at UCM. In a career cut short by injury, Alexin won three national titles in track and UCM’s only national title in cross country. He won the indoor mile and outdoor 1,500-meter National Championships in 1996 and repeated as indoor mile champion in 1997. His cross country title also came in 1996. Like Golias, he earned a total of seven All‑America awards in his career. Another Russian performer, pole vaulter Andrei Skvortsov, won three National Championships, Vladimir Golias - four-time one indoors and NCAA Division II two outdoors, in Steeplechase Champion (1998, 1999, 2000, 2001) his UCM career (1997‑2000). He also earned a total of seven All-America awards. In 2003, Ivan Varbanov won both the high jump and triple jump at the NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field Championships. And in 2004, Jennifer Drum-Greer became only the second Jennies track & field athlete to claim a National Champinoship Title, taking first in the nation in the high jump. She would claim a second in 2006, as she won the National Championships high jump competition in Boston. Both came during the indoor season. She was followed in 2005 by Denise Sandbothe, who won the 60 meter hurdles indoors, and Kristin Anderson, who took the 3,000 meter steeplechase outdoors and the 5000 meter run indoors in 2006.
In terms of All-America honors, twotime national decathlon champion Jeff Sander is UCM’s most decorated track and field athlete. He won a total of 10 All‑America awards for the Mules during his career. His NCAA-II national titles in Alexandr Alexin the decathlon 1996 NCAA Division II came in 1998 Cross Country National Champion and 1999. Jeff Kremer, who won a national title in the discus in 1998, also earned a total of seven All-America awards. For the Jennies, Darla Moberly is the most decorated female track / cross country athlete in UCM history. During her four-year career (198286), she earned a total of eight allAmerica honors in cross country and track, including the first national title in Jennies’ history, when she won the outdoor 3,000-meters in 1986.

Sears earned his in the long jump and triple jump (1993-96) and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2002, along with Keith Browne, who was UCM’s first national champion, winning the javelin in 1966. In 2009 Drew Frizzell became the second Mule to claim a national title in both an indoor and outdoor track & field event in the same year. Alexin accomplished the feat 13 years prior. First-place finishes in the hammer throw, and the weight throw (indoor) were just two of his five AllAmerican performances in the year. A pair of Jennies also captured national titles in 2009. Jenna Schmidt followed in the footsteps of Drum-Greer and became UCM’s second indoor high jump National Champion. At the same National Championships meet in Houston, Anne Carlson set a Jennies track and field record (3,830 pts.) while winning a pentathlon National Championship. Darla Moberly - 1986 NCAA D-II Central Missouri’s success continued in 2010, when multi-event 3,000-Meter Champion athlete Darius Walker became the fourth Mule to win multiple national championships in the same season. Walker took the heptathlon title at the Indoor Championships, then two months later won the decathlon at the Outdoor Championships. Walker’s 5,377-point performance in the hepathlon set a new UCM school record. Just a year later, Brent Vogel followed Walker’s decathlon national championship with one of his own, winning the event with 7,462 points, the second highest point total in Central Missouri history. Vogel is the third Mule to win the decathlon title, and the 16th Mule to win a national championship. For the first time in UCM history, the Mules and Jennies swept the multi-events at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2011, as Lindsay Lettow won the heptathlon. Lettow broke her own school record with 5,514 points in the event. Lettow also picked up the pentathlon championship during the indoor season, becoming the first Jennie to sweep the multi-event championships.

The MIAA
70
Over the past 97 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 15 NCAA team championships and, since 1964, over 170 individual national titles. The MIAA currently conducts championships in seven sports for men and eight 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, golf 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 to 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 Missouri S&T) in 1935, Lincoln University in 1970, and the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 1980. The 1980’s 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 before leaving in the summer of 2010. Bob Boerigter, former athletic director at Northwest Missouri State, becomes the MIAA Commissioner in the fall of 2010. 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 and Missouri Western State – 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. A third full-time staff member was added in 2005, as former Emporia State track athlete Natasha Oakes was hired as assistant commissioner for compliance. A fourth member was added in 2007 as Larry House became the Coordinator of External Affairs. The membership of the MIAA is now at 11 schools with the addition of Fort Hays (Kan.) State University in 2006, and Lincoln University in 2010-11.
