Central Missouri Wrestling UCM Multipurpose Building

Considered one the finest facilities of its kind in the nation, the Multipurpose Building is in its 41st year of service to the university. The $5.5 million facility was built at no expense to the State of Missouri, as financing was accomplished solely through student fees. The “Multi” truly lives up to its name, as it is one of the busiest places on campus. In addition to being the home of Mules and Jennies basketball and indoor track and field, Jennies volleyball, and Mules wrestling, the facility is used by university students, faculty, and staff, as well as the general public. Designed primarily for recreational use, the building features a spacious main arena with a six-lane track, a swimming pool, five indoor and two outdoor handball/racquetball courts, areas for free and universal weights, an activities area, locker rooms, meeting rooms, and offices for UCM’s Intercollegiate Athletics staff. The main arena can accommodate four basketball or six volleyball courts at one time or all of the events for an indoor track meet. Seating capacity in the Multipurpose Building is 8,500 for basketball and volleyball, making it the largest such facility in the MIAA. It also seats 1,640 fans for indoor track meets and 10,000 people for concerts. Numerous special events take place in the Multi each year. It hosted the Missouri State High School Activities Association’s state volleyball tournament from 1988 until 2008, and state high school playoff games for basketball are also played annually in the building. In addition, the MIAA Indoor Track and Field Championships are contested in the Multipurpose Building. The facility is also used for UCM’s annual commencement ceremonies, major concerts, and other UCM events. The Multi underwent a major renovation during the summer

of 1998. An inlaid-wood floor was installed in the main arena, replacing most of the original Tartan surface and eliminating the need for the portable-wood floor that had been used for basketball since 1988. Additionally, the running track was resurfaced and new jumping and vaulting pits were created for track and field. Before the 2008-09 school year, the Multi received another facelift with new seating. The near $1 million project added seatback chairs to the north end of the arena and new bleachers on the south side. Prior to the 2012-13 school year, the Multi was fitted with a brand new four-sided, center-hung scoreboard and video board system from SignCo of Lincoln, Neb. New scoreboards were also added the east and west walls and the arena was outfitted with a new 30-foot LED scorer’s table for use during dual meets.

Central Missouri Wrestling Head Coach Justin Ensign The 2016-17 season is Justin Ensign’s seventh season as the head coach of the Central Missouri Mules Wrestling squad. Ensign has coached eight national qualifiers in six seasons, with a 2955 dual record, and a .345 winning percentage. He is 6-23 against MIAA opponents.

The 2015-16 season was a challenging one for Ensign and the Mules Wrestling program. UCM tied a program low dual wins in a season as they went 2-9 overall, finished sixth at the MIAA Championships, and placed 13th at regionals. The 2014-15 season was a record breaking one for Ensign and the Mules. The team tied their highest finish at the national tournament placing 11th. Frank Cagnina defended his NCAA Division II National Title at 149 pounds, and Archie Williams earned AllAmerican status by finishing fifth at nationals at 174 pounds. Williams was the MIAA champion at 174 pounds, and De’Quence Goodman finished third at 285 pounds at the MIAA Championships. The Mules finished 5-12 in duals. In 2013-14, the Mules went 6-6 during the regular season and 2-4 in the MIAA, with a lot of post season success. Cagnina won the first national title since the 2005-06 season. Cagnina and Ty Loethen are also the first All-American honorees under Ensign. The two combined for 27.5 team points at the NCAA-II National Championship, placing Central Missouri at No. 18 in the nation. Cagnina and Loethen were both All-Region and All-MIAA wrestlers, while Josh Thomson also earned All-MIAA honors. In 2012-13, the Mules finished 6-7 with a 2-3 conference record. Ensign finished the 2012-13 season coaching Eric Mateo at the NCAA-II Wrestling Championship, who finished at 21-21 overall. In his second season the Mules were plagued with injuries, finishing with a 3-14 dual record. The team may have been battered and bruised, but they still managed to have numerous top finishers at several tournaments throughout the season. Nick Viterisi earned All-Region honors that season, and posted an impressive 28-15 record. In his first season as head coach, 2010-

11, Ensign guided the Mules to a 7-7 dual record with three individual national qualifiers, finishing tied for 30th in the nation. Prior to being named the eighth bench boss in Central Missouri history, Ensign spent two years as a graduate assistant coach under legendary Mules Wrestling coach Robin Ersland, who left UCM for the head coaching position at Minot State (N.D.) following the 2009-2010 season. During the two years Ensign was a graduate assistant under Ersland, the Mules compiled a 14-16 dual record, while finishing in the top 25 at the NCAA National Championships both seasons (18th in 2009, 22nd in 2010). Ensign also helped guide the Mules to five individual All-American performances. Ensign also spent one season as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Wagner College, in Staten Island, N.Y. As an assistant coach during the 2007-08 season, he helped the Seahawks finish fourth at the Virginia duals. Ensign also had two NCAA-I East Region third place winners. Before starting his coaching career, Ensign spent four years on the mat for Wagner. He was named team MVP two times and spent two seasons ranked in the top five in the CAA. He was also a twoyear team captain, and two-time Iron Man award winner. Ensign was a four-year starter, twice at both 141 and 149 pounds. The Cherry Hill, N.J. native earned his bachelor’s degree in Childhood Education and Sociology in 2007, and earned his master’s in Sports Management from Central Missouri in spring, 2011.

Meet the Mules 2016-17 Season Preview The Mules will look to rebound from a tough 2015-16 season where they finished with a dual record of 2-9, placed sixth at the MIAA Tournament, and 13th at regionals. The Mules were picked to finish fifth the MIAA in the preseason coaches poll and were picked to finish 11th out of 15 teams in Super Region-III according to the D2wrestle.com preseason poll. Although the team lost two All-Conference wrestlers in 174 pounder Archie Williams and 285 pounder Nick Lovejoy, they bring in 21 newcomers and return a number of guys from last season who will all look to compete for starting positions. “We’re going to be a young team this year with one or two seniors in the lineup and as a team we’re going have solid dual lineup and we’ll grow as the season goes along,” Head Coach Justin Ensign said. This season the Mules have a minimum of two wrestlers in each weight class with at least one person having experience from last season. In all, the Mules wrestling program has 37 wrestlers on this year’s squad. Erick Vargas and John Feeney will compete at 125 pounds this season for UCM. Vargas transferred to Central Missouri at the start of the second semester and competed right away for the Mules. He went 2-1 in three matches before injury put him out for the rest of the season. Feeney is in his first season with the Mules after winning two state championships in high school. Stephen Tujague and Daide Agnew will compete for the starting spot at 133 pounds this season. Agnew started for the Mules all of last season at 133 pounds and finished with a record of 16-24. Tujague comes in this season as true freshman and is the younger brother of Andrew Tujague who is also a Mule wrestler. Tujague was four time letter winner, a state placer all four years and a state champion. The Mules will turn Bradley Irwin in the 141 pound weight division. Irwin wrestled at North Iowa Community College his freshman season at 149 pounds and finished with 9-11 record. The 149 pound slot will see a new face this season for the Mules as they will look to Andrew Tujague as the starter. Tujague redshirted last season for UCM after he transferred from Ottawa University. Tujague was two-time state champion in high school. Juniors Steffon Fassett and Rowdy Miller will compete for the starting spot at 157 pounds. Fassett finished his first season as a Mule with a record of 8-16. Miller wrestled two years at Hannibal-LaGrange and qualified for NAIA Nationals at 149 pounds in his second season. The 157 pound weight class is the biggest for UCM with Robert Schneider six guys in the slot this season.

Jesse Reser and senior Josh Thomson will compete for the starting spot at 165 pounds for UCM. Thomson enters this season with a career record of 51-28 and 18 falls for the Mules. Reser enters his first season with UCM after placing second in state wrestling his senior season of high school.

Daide Agnew

With the graduation of Williams, the 174 pound slot will have Cody Carson or Allan Person as the start for UCM. Person went 17-19 in his first season of competition for the Mules and placed fourth at the MIAA Championships and sixth at regionals. Carson comes in as a junior transfer from Pratt Community college where he was a national qualifier and garnered All-American status. The 184 pound slot will be determined on who is named the 174 pound starter between Person and Carson. “Whoever wins out at 174 pounds will start there and the other one will bump up to 184 pounds for us,” Ensign said. Junior Grant Sparks will start at 197 pounds for UCM. As a sophomore he competed at 184 pounds and finished with a record of 8-13. His highest finishd was sixth place finish at the Luther Hill Invitational at 184 pounds. At the MIAA Championhips he competed at 197 pounds. Freshman Chase Miller and senior Jacob Clark are set to compete at 285 pounds this season, while junior Robert Schneider will redshirt this season. Schneider went 19-22 last season for the Mules and has a career record of 31-38. The Mules are set to compete in 12 duals this season and four tournaments. One of the tournaments UCM will compete in is the Midwest Classic in Indianapolis which always fields a number of tough teams in Division-II. The Mules will also return to the UNK Midwest Duals after taking a one year hiatus last season to compete at National Duals in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

The University of Central Missouri transforms students into lifelong learners, dedicated to service, with the knowledge, skills and confidence to succeed and lead.

Future-Focused Academics

The world moves at a faster pace than ever before. UCM’s innovative programs use new technologies to keep students up to date on the latest changes in their fields of study. Our faculty members are accomplished in their fields as well. They bring their experiences in industry and academia to their classrooms for our on-campus students in Warrensburg and Lee’s Summit, as well as to their virtual classrooms through our online programs.

Hands-on Experience

Learning by doing is a cornerstone of our 150 academic programs. Through hands-on experiences, students take their knowledge from the classroom and apply it in real-life situations. Whether it’s conducting research with faculty members, developing a business plan for a local company or battling it out in a national criminal justice competition, UCM students graduate well prepared for the future with practical, applicable experience.

Culture of Service

For more than 140 years, UCM’s motto, “Education for Service,” has been embodied by students who volunteer countless hours assisting communities, businesses and non-profit agencies.

This tradition continues today when student groups clear debris after a tornado or build homes for local families through Habitat for Humanity. Service has always been a foundation of the university. By learning at a university that values that service, UCM students continue to make an impact on their communities long after they graduate.

Global Perspective

UCM values diversity in thought, culture and people. As a result, the university takes a worldly perspective on education and prepares students to thrive in a globalized economy.

President Barack Obama spoke to a crowd of UCM students, faculty and staff, and Warrensburg residents on July 24, 2013 at the UCM Student Recreation & Wellness Center.

UCM’s International Studies major examines global issues affecting human development, peace and security. The university’s study abroad programs connect students with more than 60 countries and 285 universities worldwide. UCM also has nearly 600 students from 47 different countries represented on campus. Experiencing these different ideas, cultures and people gives our students a unique perspective and prepares them for today’s global society.

Board of Governors

Charles M. Ambrose, Ed.D., became the 15th president of the University of Central Missouri on 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. 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.

Ambrose sought to build student enrollment, an effort that continues to pay off with the largest enrollment in the university’s 140-year history. He has also begun a major initiative to encourage and provide assistance for students to graduate college within four years with less debt. The president continues 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. Under his direction, the university developed a new strategic positioning initiative to provide a more articulated understanding of what makes UCM unique and helped guide the institution in establishing its future priorities. In fall 2012, Ambrose launched the new Missouri Innovation Campus, in collaboration with the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District and private industry, which will allow students to begin college during their junior year of high school and complete a degree in four years with little or no debt.

Under the leadership of Jerry Hughes, UCM’s athletics program has enjoyed unprecedented success, highlighted by the dual NCAA basketball championships in 1984 by the Mules and Jennies, the 1994 and 2003 NCAA baseball championships, the 2003 women’s Intercollegiate Bowling Association national title, the 2014 men’s basketball national crown and the 2015 Indoor & Outdoor national titles for Jennies Track & Field. In 2005, Hughes was inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame and in January of 2016 he was named a Missouri Sports Legend, the highest honor bestowed by the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. Entering the 2016 fall semester, the Mules and Jennies have won 153 Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association championships, eight national championships, had 46 other top four NCAA finishes, and made more than 270 NCAA post-season appearances during Hughes’ tenure. The Central Missouri athletic program also won the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association All-Sports Trophy each year from 1998-99 (the year of the award’s inception) until the award was discontinued in 2002-03. UCM finished second in the NACDA Directors’ Cup in 2010-11, the best finish in school and MIAA history after finishing third the previous two years. In the 21 year history of the Directors’ Cup, UCM has 13 Top 10 finishes and 19 Top 20 finishes. Hughes was named Central Region Athletics Director of the Year for the 1998-99, 2001-02, 2010-11 and 2015-16 seasons as selected by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). He was the first three-time winner - at any NCAA level--in the history of the Athletics Director of the Year program. Hughes has been Central Missouri’s athletics director since Jan. 25, 1983. Prior to that, Hughes had served as associate athletics director since July of 1981. In 1991-92, he served as the Mules’ interim head basketball coach and guided the team to a 15-13 record. Hughes has been a Division II member of the NCAA Executive Committee and chairman of the Division II Championships Committee. He also served a term as NCAA Vice President for Division II and has been a member of the NCAA Council, making him the only person to twice hold the highest-ranking office available to athletics administrators in NCAA Division II. Other NCAA committees on which he has served are the Membership Structure Committee, Administrative Committee, and Post-Season Football Subcommittee. He has chaired the NCAA Division II Management Council and Membership Growth Project Team and been a member of the NCAA Budget and Finance Committee and NCAA Administrative Review Panel, as well as the NACDA Sears Directors Cup Committee. He has spearheaded fund-raising efforts for major renovations of the Central Missouri football and baseball stadiums, as well as the development of UCM’s South Recreation Complex and the Audrey J.

A native of Versailles, Mo., Hughes received his bachelor’s degree in physical education in 1971 from Central Missouri, with a minor in safety education. He was a three-year letterman on the Mules’ golf team, receiving All-MIAA honors in 1971. He also obtained a master’s degree in secondary school administration, which he received in 1979 from Central Missouri. Following his graduation in 1971, Hughes spent a year of active duty in the Army National Guard. In 1972, he returned to his hometown and took a position as physical education instructor, head golf coach and assistant basketball coach at Morgan County R-2 High School. From 1977-79, he served as the school’s athletics director and assistant principal. He and his wife, Vici, have four children – Greg, Chad, Parker, and Ashley. They have eight grandchildren – Tanner, Rylie, Dalton and Wyatt from Greg and his wife Catrina; Fallon, Kaiser, and Logan from Chad; and Sofija from Ashley and her husband Matt Ruzich.

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.”

Many people assume that the relationship of mules and jennies is the same as that of siblings, but jennies are female 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.

Mule #2 - Little Mo in the 1950s

Mule #3 - Roscoe in the 1960s

Top 10 Reasons to Admire a Mule

1 0. Affectionate and loving as a dog 9. Can carry heavy loads, up to 300 pounds 8. Rarely miss when they aim to kick something 7. Jump amazing heights from a stand-still start (go watch a mule jump at a county fair - it’s amazing!) 6. Have a laid-back style and won’t be rushed 5. Valued so highly, once bought sight unseen 4. Inspire attitudes - cum mula peperit (when a mule foals), similar to once in a blue moon 3. Knows when to quit (hence its reputation for stubbornness) 2. Intelligent and not afraid of working 1. Because it became our mascot in 1922, over the skunk, bobcat and hippopotamus!

Welcome to Warrensburg Warrensburg, Missouri is a friendly community of 18,000 people near the intersection of U.S. Highway 50 and Missouri Route 13. It is located just 40 miles southeast of suburban Kansas City, with its many cultural offerings, entertainment options and professional sports franchises. The county seat of Johnson County, Warrensburg is just four hours from St. Louis and three hours from Branson, Mo., with easy access by highway, Amtrak, or Greyhound bus. Other recreational opportunities include the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks 90 minutes to the southeast. 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. 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 meanest mules on earth.” Warrensburg is home to many historic sites, including “Blind” Boone Park, the historic Johnson County Courthouse, the Missouri Pacific Train Depot, and many historical churches. It is also the site of the Old Drum Memorial Statue, in honor of Old Drum, the hound shot and killed by his owner’s neighbor in 1869. Old Drum was eulogized by George Graham Vest on September 23, 1870:

“The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.” Today the city’s Park Department has eight park areas with a total of 326 acres, and a Community Center which offers a wide variety of recreational activities. Two public golf courses are available in town -- one at the Hidden Pines Country Club, and another, Mules National Golf Club at Pertle Springs, operated by the University of Central Missouri. Other attractions Photo courtesy of United States Air Force in the area include Powell Gardens, a 1,250+ botanical garden just 12 miles west of Warrensburg on Missouri Highway 50 that contains hiking trails, picnic areas, and seasonal displays; Whiteman Air Force Base in Knob Noster, Mo., home of the B-2 Bomber; Knob Noster State Park; and the Missouri State Fair, held each August in Sedalia, Mo. Of course, visitors to Warrensburg can also take in the exciting athletic events and various cultural experiences provided at the University of Central Missouri.
