The name was chosen from a number of suggestions for the name of UCO’s football team and became the nickname for all athletic teams at the school. Mrs. Wantland was made an honorary member of the Letterman’s Club as a result of selecting the nickname, becoming the first woman admitted to that organization.

Coaches/ Season Outlook
2012 UCO Softball Head Coach Genny Stidham
Now in her 15th year at the helm of the Central Oklahoma program is former All-American Genny Stidham, who has turned the Bronchos into a perennial NCAA Division II national contender. Stidham is 378-269-2 at UCO and has led the Bronchos to five national tournament berths, including the first-ever trip to the NCAA Division II World Series. Genny, a star pitcher-shortstop for the Bronchos in the early-1990s who was inducted into the UCO Athletic Hall of Fame in 2009, has guided UCO to the four winningest seasons in school history (41, 36, 35 and 32). She coached 75 first- and secondteam All-Lone Star Conference North Division players during the school’s association with that league, winning two conference titles along the way. Stidham took over the UCO reigns from long-time coach Gerry Pinkston in 1998 and guided the Bronchos to their first LSC championship that season. UCO hosted the LSC Tournament as the No. 1 seed from the North Division and defeated Tarleton State 5-4 in the finals to claim the crown and cap a 24-15 season. The Bronchos finished 23-23 in 1999, struggled to a 14-22-1 campaign in 2000 and were 24-22 in 2001 before breaking through in 2002. UCO finished 35-16 and made its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division II national tournament in 2002. The Bronchos were LSC North Division runners-up and finished second in the LSC Tournament to earn a trip to the South Central Regional, knocking off No. 12 Mesa State in the first round before being eliminated with two close losses. A slow start and some key injuries plagued UCO during a 17-29-1 finish in 2003 and the Bronchos went 21-20 in 2004. UCO enjoyed one of its best-ever seasons in 2005, winning a schoolrecord 41 games (41-14) while capturing both the North Division and LSC Tournament titles. The Bronchos advanced to the Division II South Central Regional, going 2-2 and finishing 12th in the final rankings. Stidham took UCO back to the national tournament in 2006, overcoming a tough finish with a stirring postseason run. The Bronchos placed third in the LSC North Division and went 2-2 in the LSC Tournament, barely making it to the South Central Regional as the No. 7 seed. UCO cruised to three easy wins in that eight-team tournament to make the finals before edging Incarnate Word 5-4 in extra innings to claim its first-ever regional crown and advance to the Division II World Series. The Bronchos fell to Cal State-Bakersfield in the first round at Salem, Va., rebounded to knock off No. 3-ranked Southern Illinois-Edwardsville and then was eliminated in extra innings by eventual runner-up Emporia State to finish 31-17. UCO was ranked fifth in the final Division II poll, its highest finish ever. Central went 29-16 and just missed out on a third straight national tournament berth in 2007, not making the field despite knocking off three ranked teams en route to a runner-up finish in the LSC Tournament. UCO was the LSC North runner-up and made it back to the national playoffs in 2008, going 36-16 for the second-most wins in school history. The Bronchos were North Division runners-up again in 2009 in finishing 26-15 and went 32-21 in 2010 despite featuring a young squad, earning another national tournament berth after a third straight LSC North Division runner-up finish. UCO went 25-23 last year in its final season in the LSC. Stidham is a local product of Edmond Memorial High School, collecting All-State honors for the Bulldogs in 1986 before signing with Kansas.
Genny left KU after one semester and sat out the next four years before returning to school at UCO in the fall of 1990. Stidham was 14-5 with 10 shutouts and a 0.73 earned run average in 1991, then went 11-5 with a 1.21 ERA as a senior in 1992. She also hit .425 that year with 14 doubles to earn first-team All-Midwest Region honors and second-team All-America recognition as a utility player. Stidham ranks second on UCO’s career winning percentage list at .714 with a 25-10 record. She had 278 strikeouts and gave up only 32 earned runs in 231 innings pitched, finishing with a career 0.97 ERA. Genny went into private business for a year after leaving UCO and then returned to school to earn her bachelor’s degree from East Central in 1994. Stidham was as an assistant coach at Oklahoma in 1995 before returning to UCO as Pinkston’s graduate assistant in 1996 and ‘97. She received her master’s from UCO in 1997 and took over the helm the following season. Genny is married (Jerod) and has two children (Allie and Connor).

Catcher
Pitcher
UCO has a two-year starter back in junior star Kacie Edwards, but senior transfer Nathalie Timmermans is expected to get most of the playing time behind the plate this spring. Edwards is a career .352 hitter and the Bronchos need her in the lineup somewhere. Timmermans is a catcher for the Dutch National Team and hit .402 with 17 home runs and 64 RBI at Oklahoma City last year. Sophomore Carly Skinner will also see some time here.
Both main pitchers are back from last year and that’s good news for the Bronchos. Senior Rachael Steverson has 35 career wins to her credit and leads the way, with sophomore Amanda McClelland looking to be much improved after going 13-11 last season. Those two will combine to throw the vast majority of innings, with sophomore Kailee Roe available to help out.

As usual, the Bronchos have several options. Juniors Kacie Edwards and Ashley Noles have both seen time at DP and are the top contenders, with several others available.
The Bronchos are counting on senior Megan Whitmire to handle the first base duties for the second straight year. She was the team’s

2012 UCO SOftball the Mid-aMeriCa interCOllegiate athletiCS aSSOCiatiOn Central Oklahoma will compete as an NCAA Division II independent in all sports during the 2011-12 school year before joining the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Assocition in 2012-13. The MIAA, a 15-member conference of NCAA Division II institutions in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma, was first organized in 1912 as the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Over the past 99 years, the MIAA has gained the reputation of being one of the top NCAA Division II conferences in the nation. MIAA schools have won 15 NCAA team championships and, since 1964, over 160 individual national titles. The MIAA currently conducts championships in eight sports for men and nine 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 and Washburn 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, Central Missouri, Truman State and Northwest Missouri State still remain a part of the MIAA. The first change in membership came in 1924, when the MIAA reorganized to include only the five regional Missouri state colleges: Central Missouri, Truman (at the time known as Northeast Missouri
State), Northwest Missouri, Southeast Missouri State and Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State). Over the next 56 years, three schools joined the membership: Missouri School of Mines (later Missouri-Rolla) in 1935, Lincoln in 1970 and the Missouri-St. Louis in 1980. Ken Jones became the first full-time commissioner of the MIAA in 1981 and would be in the position for 16 years, retiring in 1997. Ralph McFillen succeeded Jones, serving 10 years before his retirement in 2007. Jim Johnson succeeded McFillen in July of that year and served as commissioner until September of 2010, when Dr. Bob Boerigter took over. Southwest Baptist brought membership back to eight schools in 1986, before the major expansion of the conference in 1989. Pittsburg State, Washburn, Missouri Southern and Missouri Western began competition in the 1989-90 season. Southeast Missouri State left the MIAA following the 1990-91 season and was replaced by Emporia State in the 1991-92 season. Missouri-St. Louis departed the MIAA in 1996, Missouri-Rolla left in 2005 and Lincoln forfeited its membership in 1999. Fort Hays State joined the MIAA in 2006, NebraskaOmaha entered the league in 2008 and Lincoln re-joined the conference in 2010. On July 29, 2010, the MIAA CEO Council voted to extend invitations to UCO and Northeastern State to become members of the league and on Sept. 24, 2010 it voted to extend invitations to Nebraska-Kearney and Lindenwood. With the departure of Nebraska-Omaha in 2011, the current membership of the MIAA is at 15 schools. UCO, Lindenwood, Nebraska Kearney and Northeastern State will begin league play in 2012-13.
