This is the University of Central Missouri

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 nonprofit 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.

The Multipurpose Building

UCM Multipurpose Building -- Home of UCM Indoor Track and Field Considered one of the finest facilities of its kind in the nation, the Multipurpose Building is in its 40th 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 indoor track, basketball, 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, two indoor 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 11,000 people for concerts. Numerous special events take place in the Multi each year. It has hosted the Missouri State High School Activities Association’s state volleyball tournament since 1988, while 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 every third year in the Multipurpose Building. The facility is also used for Central’s annual commencement ceremonies and for major concerts. 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. Previous improvements include the addition of a new scoreboard, containing a four-color message center manufactured by Daktronics, in 1986, the purchase of two Sport Courts® for volleyball in 1995 and 1998 and the installation of new bleachers on the north and south sides in 2008.

The Multipurpose Building also got a brand new Mondo track installed during the summer of 2015. It is the same surface used at the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games, designed for superior athletic performance with the perfect combination of energy return and comfort for runners, as well as shock absorbtion and rebound elasticity for jumps. With the new track surface also came a new pole vault pit. The Multi was designed by the architectural firm of Mantel and Teeter of Kansas City, Mo. It is managed by Karen Hibdon.

Pedersen served as an assistant under former head coach Les Stevens for 10 years, and now shares the head coaching position for track and field with Kip Janvrin. Pedersen has guided the Mules’ cross country team to 11 MIAA championships in the past 22 years, with 11 straight Top-25 finishes (from 1996-2007) at the NCAA Division II Cross Country Championships. He has also coached the Jennies CC team to a trio of MIAA championships. In his career, Pedersen has earned MIAA Cross Country Coach of the Year honors 13 times.

In the last 11 years, he and Janvrin have garnered 15 MIAA Indoor Coach of the Year awards, adding 10 more Coach of the Year honors for the outdoor season. In 2002 and 2015, Pedersen and Janvrin were also named United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) National Indoor Coaches of the Year and the 2015 National Outdoor Coaches of the Year. In 2015, Pedersen coached Megan Glamann to a 5th place All-American finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

In 1996 the Mules placed sixth at the NCAA Championships and produced an individual national champion in Alexandr Alexin. The 1995 men’s team became the first cross country team to be inducted into the UCM Athletic Hall of Fame. The 1993 team joined them, and in 2006, the 1997 team was also inducted. In 1999 both cross country teams won MIAA titles, with the Mules finishing seventh overall at the Division II Championships.

Kip Janvrin

Head Coach Kip Janvrin

Track & Field Co-Head Coach

Kip Janvrin shares the head-coaching duties for track & field with Pedersen. He is in his 27th season on the Central Missouri staff, his 20th as co-head coach. Janvrin works primarily with the sprinters, hurdlers, and multi-event athletes. Janvrin helped to bring Central Missouri their first-ever National Championship in women’s track and field, winning the Indoor and Outdoor Championships in 2015. For years, Janvrin was ranked as one of the world’s top athletes in the decathlon, winning the 2001 USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. He 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 personalbest 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 coaching tandem of Pedersen and Janvrin has produced 15 MIAA men’s and five MIAA women’s indoor championships, 12 MIAA men’s outdoor titles (1994, 1998, 2001-2004, 2006-2011) and three Jennies outdoor conference championships. During Janvrin’s tenure at UCM, he has overseen 24 National Champions win 42 titles, including 31 since 2003. In 2011-2012, Janvrin coached multi-event athlete Lindsay Lettow to two National Championships in both the heptathlon and pentathlon. She is the only athlete in UCM track and field history to win four National Championships in a two-year span. In July 2012, Janvrin led 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. The 50-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 19, and Mason, born just hours before the Pedersen twins in 1998, who is 17.

2015 NCAA Indoor National Championships

NCAA Indoor Championships March 13-14, 2015 • Birmingham, Ala. Jennies Crowned National Champions

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – In a year of many firsts, none have been greater than what took place Friday and Saturday in Birmingham, Ala. For the first time in their history, the Central Missouri Jennies track and field team can call themselves National Champions. Another first came earlier in the season. In the first regular season poll, the Jennies were ranked No. 1 by the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Association (USTFCCCA). For all seven weeks of the regular season poll, UCM fell no lower than second in the rankings. UCM justified those rankings as they had competitors in 11 different events, and 10 were ranked in the top-10 of their events, tied for the most of any team, going into the meet. The Jennies got off to a good start on Saturday, but did most of their heavy lifting late in the meet. Though they were in the top-five for most of the meet, they didn’t’ take over the lead until there was one event remaining. Trailing by five points with two events to go, it was Erika Kinsey and Madison Smith who pushed them over the top as they leapfrogged two teams into first place. In the next to last event, Kinsey won her second individual championship of the day, the high jump, tying the school record and championship meet record at 6’ 2.75”. Smith took fourth in the event, tying her personal-best 5’ 9.25”. The 15 points gave the Jens a 10 point cushion heading into the final event which proved to be more than enough to win the championship. “It was a special day. Something I’ll remember for a long time,” said co-head coach Kip Janvrin. “It was crazy toward the end. I was hoping we’d have a chance to medal when all of a sudden Erika and Madison were jumping real well. Erika moved from fourth place up to first in the triple jump on one of her final attempts. For Madison to come back and place fourth in the high jump after finishing third in the pentathlon was really special. So in a matter of about five minutes, I went from hoping to finish with a medal to winning the whole thing.” The Jens totaled 47 points, besting second-place Hillsdale by seven and ten points over New Mexico Highlands and Ashland who tied for third-place. For Kinsey, it was a day she’ll never forget. When it was all said and done, she walked away with two individual championships and three All-American awards. Of the team’s 47 points, Kinsey was responsible for 25 of them. In addition to her win in the high jump, Kinsey was also crowned a National Champion in the triple jump. She again tied her personal-best in the event, jumping 42’ 5.25”. Her championship weekend began with her first All-American honor in the long jump on Friday. She took fourth place jumping 19’ 10.25”. Kinsey wasn’t the only multiple-event All-American. Smith won her first earlier in the day, taking third in the pentathlon. She scored 3,888 points, a new personal-best and third-best all-time at UCM. The senior is now a three-time All-American in the event. Heavin Warner got the ball rolling for the Jens on day one. She provided major points by finishing second in the weight throw. The 2014 National Champion in the hammer throw at the Outdoor Championships was named All-American in the weight throw for the second straight year. She bettered her own school record throwing 68’ 6”. Warner also placed 12th in the shot put, throwing 45’ 6.5”. Brittany Kallenberger was the fourth Jennies All-American. Competing in her first-ever National Championship meet, Kallenberger took fifth place in the pole vault, jumping 12’ 9.25”. Coach Janvrin said it was more than just the performances of the athletes that led to the win. “We had a lot of fans there. We were making a lot of noise. We owned the building and the energy our fans provided help push and motivate our athletes.” The Jennies have been near the top, but unable to grasp that championship in recent years. UCM has seven top-10 finishes at the national meet under co-head coaches Kip Janvrin and Kirk Pedersen. In 2014, the team finished seventh overall. Their previous-best finish was in 2009 when they placed third with 41 points. It wasn’t only the Jennies who took home hardware from the National Championship. The Mules also had three individuals and one relay team that laid claim to All-America honors. Cole Phillips was the top individual finisher for UCM. At his first indoor championship meet, Phillips finished fifth in the pole vault jumping 16’ 6.75”, earning All-American status. Tyler Chancellor and Caniggia Raynor both finished sixth in their events to make their way to the medal stand. Raynor took sixth in yesterday’s weight throw with a toss of 65’ 1.75”. Chancellor competed in the heptathlon over the course of both days and scored 5264 points. The 4x400m team of Michael Lockhart, Marquis Jones, Jacob Randle and Kellin Loch finished in fifth place. They ran a 3:14.41. It is the first All-American 4x400m team for the Mules since 2010. The Mules scored 14 points as a team and finished tied for 19th place.

Erika Kinsey won National Championships in the high jump and triple jump and a third All-American award in the long jump at the 2015 Indoor Championships

Jennies Track and Field Wins 2015 Outdoor National Championship

ALLENDALE, Mich. - For the second time this season the Central Missouri Jennies are on top of the track and field world. They won their first ever outdoor NCAA Division II National Championship after winning their first indoor championship back in March. The Jens scored 59 points on their way to the team title and crowed three individual National Champions and nine All-Americans. The Mules track team also had a successful weekend. They finished tied for 11th place overall with 23 points and saw Caniggia Raynor win his first ever National Championship and had five AllAmericans. Unlike the indoor championships, the Jennies jumped out to a large lead and had to hold on as the competition closed the gap on their lead. MIAA foe Lincoln was the biggest threat to UCM as they scored 50 points on the strength of the sprinters giving the Blue Tigers a chance to win the meet in the final event, the 4x400m relay. Lincoln was in the lead after the first leg, but a dropped baton was the Jennies good fortune as the Blue Tigers couldn’t make up for the error giving the Jennies the national title. Freshman Erika Kinsey scored 23 of the JennIes 59 points by winning the high jump and coming in second place in the triple jump and fourth in the long jump. With her two indoor championships this seasons she now has three career championships and six All-American awards. Junior Heavin Warner successfully defended her national title in the hammer throw. She threw 211-01 in the hammer throw to win her second career title and fifth All-American award. Sophomore Brittany Kallenberger was the Jennies third National Champion. She took the crown in the pole vault jumping 13-1.5 in her first ever outdoor National Championship. Madison Smith and Zoe Sharplin both finished their careers with a pair of All-American awards. They placed third and sixth in the heptathlon respectively. Smith scored a personal-best 5290 and Sharplin scored 5183 points. For Smith she leaves UCM with seven All-American awards while Sharplin is a three time All-American in the heptathlon. Also in the throws, senior Brooke Swearingin won her third All-American award in the discus. She placed sixth with a throw of 162-06. Senior Megan Glamann running in her first ever NCAA meet finished in 5th place in the 10,000m run. She set a new personal-best running 34:54.32, ending her UCM career with her first ever AllAmerican award. For the Mules, Raynor was a two-time All-American and was crowned National Champion in the discus. He used a throw of 196-01 on his final attempt to win the title. Raynor also placed sixth in the hammer throw with a throw of 203-07. The Mules 4x400m relay team finished in fifth place in the indoor championships and did the same outdoors. The squad of Omari McDonald, Jacob Randle, Osvaldo Granillo and Kellin Loch ran a 3:10.36 to be named All-Americans. Blake Seitz set a new PR in the decathlon, scoring 7018 points to place sixth and win his second career All-American award and first ever outdoors. The Mules final All-American was Cole Phillips who finished seventh in the pole vault. He jumped 16-6.75 competing in his first ever outdoor championships. The Mules 11th place finish was their highest since they took eighth place in 2011.

Mules & Jennies National Champions

Central Missouri has won 45 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, from 1998-2001. He became only the second athlete in Division II history to win any event four straight years. He earned a total of seven All-America 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 Vladimir Golias - four-time came in 1996. Like Golias, NCAA Division II he earned a total of seven Steeplechase Champion All‑America awards in his (1998, 1999, 2000, 2001) career. Lindsay Lettow became the first female athlete to join UCM’s four-time champion club, winning the indoor pentathlon and outdoor heptathlon for the second time in 2012. Lettow recorded a program-record 16 AllAmerican performances, and competed at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials, finishing 8th in the heptathlon. Another Russian performer, pole vaulter Andrei Skvortsov, won three National Championships, one indoors and two outdoors, in 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 Championship 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, two-time national champion Drew Frizzell is UCM’s most decorated track and field athlete. He won a total of 17 All‑American awards for the Mules during his career, the most of any thrower in NCAA Division II. In 2009 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 All-American performances in the year. Fellow thrower

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 one of the most decorated

female distance athletes in UCM history. During her four-year career (1982-86), she earned a total of eight all-America honors in cross country and track, including the first national title in Jennies’ history, when she won the outdoor 3,000-meters in 1986. Mark Curp (Moberly’s older brother) and Darrell Sears did not win any national champion­ships during their UCM careers, but each won nine All-America awards. Curp earned his honors, including two in Division I, in cross country and track (1977-81) and was an inaugural UCM Hall of Fame inductee. 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. Darla’s son, Dalton Moberly is a former All-MIAA distance runner for the Mules, Darla Moberly - 1986 NCAA D-II and her daughter 3,000-Meter Champion Marissa also competed for UCM. 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. Central Missouri’s success continued in 2010, when multievent 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 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. While Lettow’s championship success continued in 2012, a pair of UCM athletes broke through for their first national titles as well. Distance runner Laban Sialo became the Mules first national champion in the 5,000m run, winning the indoor title. In her senior year, Kayla Muyskens claimed the national championship in the shot put, becoming the first national champ in a throwing event in Jennies track history. UCM swept the multi-events at the NCAA Indoor Championships in 2013 when Erin Alewine captured her first national title in the pentathlon and Vogel captured his second national title, this time in the heptathlon with an NCAA record 5,760 points. For the sixth consecutive year, UCM saw a student-athlete win gold at the NCAA Championships in 2014. Senior Erin Alewine repeated at the pentathlon champion while sophomore Heavin Warner took first place in the hammer throw with a toss of 207’. UCM had four individual champions and six total first place finishes. Erika Kinsey won three individual national championships taking both the indoor and outdoor high jump medal and the indoor triple jump gold. Heavin Warner repeated as the hammer throw champion and Brittany Kallenberger won her first national championship in the pole vault. For the Mules, Caniggia Raynor won the first national championship since 2013 when he took the crown in the discus.

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 College (now 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.

UCM Board of Governors & Administration

Dr. Charles Ambrose University President

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. Marvin Wright

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.

Ambrose and his wife, Kris, are active in the community and have participated in charitable bike rides to raise funds and awareness for poverty, hunger and disease. The Ambroses have two children; Charlie, a December 2013 UCM graduate, and Kathryn, a college junior.

UCM Athletics Administration Jerry Hughes Athletics Director 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. Entering the 2015 fall semester, the Mules and Jennies have won 151 MidAmerica Intercollegiate Athletics Association championships, eight national championships, had 45 other top four NCAA finishes, and made more than 260 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 20 year history of the Directors’ Cup, UCM has twelve Top 10 finishes and eighteen Top 20 finishes. Hughes was named Central Region Athletics Director of the Year for the 1998-99, 2001-02 and 2010-11 seasons as selected by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). He is 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 Keth Memorial Golf Course Clubhouse. He is the founder of the Las Vegas High Desert Classic, a highly regarded NCAA Division II basketball tournament, which was held each December for 17 years in Las Vegas, Nev.

In addition to his service at Central Missouri, Hughes has served as Regional Director of the Show-Me State Games, and on the Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Health. Hughes has been at Central Missouri since October 1979, when he took a position as business placement director. The following year he became director of student recruitment. In 1981, Hughes was chosen for the new position of associate athletics director. 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 AllMIAA 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. Vici works for UCM as Director of the Midwest Center for Urban Education and Charter Schools.

Central Missouri Jennies – 2015 Indoor & Outdoor National Champions 3 MIAA Cross Country Titles – 8 MIAA Indoor Titles – 3 MIAA Outdoor Titles


UCM Athletic Success

205 MIAA Titles, 10 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 14-member MidAmerica 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 151 MIAA championships, more than any other league school. All-time, the Mules have taken home 141 titles, while the Jennies are at 64. Central Missouri has won eight 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, women’s bowling in 2003, men’s basketball in 2014 and Jennies Track & Field with the indoor/outdoor sweep in 2015), and 10 overall. The Jennies volleyball team has been to the NCAA Tournament every season for the past 32 years, and the Mules have won 17 MIAA Indoor Track & Field titles in the last 21 years, and 10 of the last 15 MIAA Outdoor Track & Field crowns. The Mules baseball squad has made 20 NCAA Tournament appearances in the last 22 seasons, including 13 Division II World Series berths in that span. Five UCM teams captured MIAA Championships in 2014-15, and added three conference postseason

tournament titles to that total as well. Six teams finished in the top 10 in the nation via ranking or place. Jennies Track & Field won both the indoor and outdoor national championship, Mules Golf was third, Jennies Soccer was sixth, while Jennies Bowling and Jennies Softball were both eighth. Individually, UCM had 46 different All-America seasons and performances. They also took home eight individual national championships. Erika Kinsey captured three individual titles in the indoor triple and the indoor & outdoor high jump. Heavin Warner won her second consecutive hammer throw crown and Brittany Kallenberger captured the outdoor pole vault title for Jennies track & field. Cannigia Raynor won the discus for Mules Track & Field, while Frank Cagnina won his second straight 149 lb. national title for Mules Wrestling and Sam Migdal captured the first ever individual crown for Mules Golf. UCM student-athletes once again excelled in the classroom with a department-wide cumulative GPA of 3.0. UCM had 218 student-athletes named to the MIAA Academic Honor Roll, including 17 Academic Excellence Awards for student-athletes having 4.0 GPAs and 29 Scholar-Athlete Awards with student-athletes having at least a 3.5 GPA and earning All-MIAA honors in their respective sports.

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-yearold 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.

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.”

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 at Pertle Springs, operated Photo courtesy of United States Air Force by the University of Central Missouri. Other attractions 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.

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 Mules Cross Country & Track 15 MIAA Cross Country Titles – 20 MIAA Indoor Titles – 20 MIAA Outdoor Titles
