D R . LEE T. TODD, JR., PR E S I D E N T Lee T. Todd, Jr. became the 11th president of the University of Kentucky on July 1, 2001, after serving as senior vice president of IBM’s Lotus Development Corp. President Todd is the sixth UK alumnus to hold the presidency. President Todd has concentrated his efforts and energies on helping his alma mater achieve a greater level of national prominence. He launched the University of Kentucky’s Top 20 Business Plan in December 2005. The plan is a quantitative analysis highlighting what it will take for UK to achieve its state-mandated goal of building a Top 20 public research university. Widely hailed as the first business plan by a public university in the nation, UK’s plan garnered widespread national attention. It has been featured by national media outlets and recognized by peer institutions, as several higher education leaders have visited UK’s campus to learn more about the Business Plan approach. He continues to champion UK’s outreach efforts. President Todd launched a universityfunded research program called the Commonwealth Collaboratives. The initiative features 36 of UK’s top research teams, who are focused on solving the intrinsic problems that have held the state back from reaching its full
potential. It is part of UK’s effort to ensure that its UK graduate who earned her master’s degree from research hits the ground in Kentucky and changes Simmons College in Boston. They have two adult lives throughout the Commonwealth. children, UK graduates Troy and Kathryn. President Todd has spearheaded an effort to UK Athletic Board Board of Trustees revitalize health care in Kentucky. In June 2006, (as of July 6, 2009) (as of July 6, 2009) UK unveiled the Commonwealth’s Medical Campus of the Future, a multi-phased project Mira S.

M I TCH BARNHART, DIREC T O R O F AT H L E T I C S Mitch Barnhart is in his eighth year at the University of Kentucky, with unparalleled accomplishments in his past and unprecedented goals for the future. When he arrived in 2002, Barnhart’s first move was to totally support all 22 varsity sports with the maximum number of scholarships and coaches, along with the facilities, equipment and support staff needed to make those teams successful. The commitment to fully fund every sport produced never-before-seen successes in UK athletics, with first-ever Southeastern Conference championships in baseball, men’s golf and women’s tennis. Perhaps the biggest on-field turnaround has been in football, where Barnhart’s hire of Rich Brooks has led the Wildcats to bowl wins in three consecutive years, the first time that has been accomplished in UK’s 117 seasons in the sport. In order to make the dreams a reality, Barnhart spearheaded record-breaking growth in philanthropic giving, ticket sales and a 4
comprehensive multi-media rights agreement. Barnhart’s connection to UK student-athletes is evident by his individual interaction and dedication to provide the support services necessary to meet their needs. UK Athletics spends more than $1.5 million annually on its nationally renowned Center for Academic and Tutorial Services. He also began the CATSPYs, an annual awards program that honors the best of UK Athletics. Additional initiatives begun under Barnhart’s leadership include the UK Athletics Hall of Fame and the Joe Craft Center, a $30 million facility that includes new practice and administrative space for a variety of sports. Barnhart’s influence reaches far beyond the fields of competition. Despite athletics’ urgent financial needs, Barnhart initiated a $1.2 million annual contribution to the University’s scholarship program, a contribution that is being increased to $1.7 million this year. Social responsibility in the Commonwealth of Kentucky is a priority for Barnhart, who has been extremely active in community service and encourages the UK athletics staff to do the same. 2009-10 MEDIA GUIDE
Not content with past successes, Barnhart’s ambitious course for the future was revealed with his recent announcement of the “15x15x15” plan. The goals are to win at least 15 conference or national championships and rank among the NCAA’s top 15 athletic programs by 2015 – all of which would represent unprecedented achievements for UK Athletics – while continuing to expand UK Athletics’ service to the local community and commonwealth of Kentucky. Another goal of the initiative is a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average for UK’s 500 student-athletes. Barnhart arrived at Kentucky from Oregon State, where he served four successful years (19982002) as athletics director. Before his term at OSU, he worked in athletics administration posts at Tennessee (1986-98), Southern Methodist University (1983-86), Oregon (1983) and San Diego State (1982-1983). Barnhart, 50, is a native of Kansas City, Kan. He received his bachelor degree from Ottawa University (Kansas) in 1981 and a masters in sports administration from Ohio University in 1982. He and his wife, the former Connie Brown, have three children, Kirby, Blaire and Scott.

A C ADEMIC PRIORITY
T
he University of Kentucky has made a commitment to put the student-athlete at the heart of the program. The cornerstone of that commitment lies in the academic success of the University’s student-athletes. And at UK, that success stems from the resources within the Ohio Casualty Group’s Center for Academic and Tutorial Services. UK opened CATS in 1981, the nation’s first academic center dedicated exclusively to student-athletes. Over the years, as the services offered by CATS have grown, so did the need for additional space. As a result, UK built a new facility - the Ohio Casualty Center for Academic and Tutorial Services - thanks to a $1 million grant from the Ohio Casualty Insurance Group. The Ohio Casualty Center opened in 1998 at a total cost of $2.4 million. Much of the credit for UK’s academic success goes to the Athletics Association’s academic support system. CATS, constructed in Memorial Coliseum, includes: > 20,000-square feet of space, more than double the size of the former CATS facility > a computer room housing 35 computers > a study area which accommodates 90-100 people > 24 tutoring rooms > a career development & life skills resource center > a community outreach office > offices for the staff Certainly, a facility is a good start, but any program - especially in academics - is only as good as the people who run it. And UK is fortunate to have outstanding leaders in its academics support system. Bob Bradley, associate athletics director for Student Services, oversees the CATS program. Bradley was named National Academic Advisor of the Year in 1989 and 1992. In 2000 he was selected as the CHAMPS Life Skills Coordinator of the Year by the NCAA Division I-A Athletic Directors Association. CATS also employs seven graduate assistants and numerous tutors, both from the University and the surrounding community. UK has budgeted more than $1 million for the operation of CATS in the coming year. “We are extremely proud of what we have accomplished in the academic arena,” Bradley said. “The CATS program is focused on winning in the classroom. We look at each student-

institutions. Our goal is to show that we care about the student as well as the athlete.” For the CATS staff, showing you care means more than helping athletes maintain eligibility, graduate or win awards. The academics staff also prepares student-athletes for life after college with the Wildcat Career Development Program. The Career Development Program helps student-athletes look to the future through a step-by-step process which includes: > mentoring and internships, which help determine career interests > career counseling > resume writing > forming a career plan. The Wildcat Career Development Program works closely with the University’s Career Planning and Placement Center in order to provide additional assistance when needed.

amilies nationwide are affected by a serious disease every day and the UK softball family is no different. Former UK head coach Beth (Kirchner) Pruitt and her husband, Frank, live that truth every day. Their beautiful daughter, Danielle, was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a genetic disease that affects muscular development.
"Danielle's delivery was typical and her reflexes at birth were normal. However, she began missing physical milestones around her fourth month," Beth Pruitt said. "Dani was diagnosed with SMA type 1 at seven months. At that time, we were given a prognosis of three to five months and we were obviously devastated. Thankfully, we were given the contact information of some local SMA families that had gone through the same thing and were very well informed about SMA and medical advances. We were given hope when we learned of an 18-year-old young woman with type 1. We checked out different courses of treatment and we are so very thankful of how well Dani is doing today at almost three years of age." Although she has already beaten several odds in her young life, Dani still requires intense care on a daily basis. "Dani eats through a feeding tube, sleeps on a bi-pap machine and endures daily breathing treatments," Pruitt said. "She receives occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy and is learning to drive a power wheel chair. Dani loves animals, swimming, imaginary play and talks up a storm. She has a bubbly personality and she continues to entertain us as she loves to tease and make us laugh." Spinal Muscular Atrophy is a muscular disease passed genetically to children by their parents. It is a recessive genetic disease, meaning that both parents must carry a copy of the recessive SMA
10
gene. One out of 40 people is a carrier of this gene. Even when both parents are carriers, there is a 75 percent chance that the child will be healthy and not acquire the disease. With SMA, muscles weaken and waste away due to degeneration of motor neurons, which are nerve cells in the spinal cord. Normally, these motor neurons relay signals from the brain to the muscle cells. When these neurons fail to function, the muscles deteriorate. The brain and the sensory nerves that allow us to feel sensations such as touch, temperature, pain etc., are not affected. Intelligence is normal. Many may make the mistake of viewing these children as mentally impaired, but while their bodies may not be perfect, their minds are. SMA affects a child's muscular development and the severity depends on what type of SMA the child has. Type 1 is the most severe, affecting children still in the womb or shortly after birth, while type 4 is the least severe and usually affects adults. The major differences between types are the age of onset and the severity of the condition. SMA is a devastating disease, but the lives of these children and their families can be made
2009-10 MEDIA GUIDE
much easier with the many medical advances that are being made each and every day. "Despite losing almost all independent movement in her arms, legs and neck, Dani is the happiest, sweetest, most patient child that Frank and I have ever met," Pruitt said. "She teaches us every day. We have learned the lessons of patience and true priorities. Her diagnosis has given us the gift of enjoying her every day to the fullest. She is simply amazing." At this time, there is no cure for any type of SMA but this doesn't mean that nothing can be done. In fact, there is much that can be done to help the child develop to the greatest possible extent and to assist families. Researchers work daily to find a cure for SMA. "We are close to finding a cure for SMA. We hope and pray it is in time for Dani and her many SMA friends." Several web sites offer ways that you can help with that research. If you are interested in making a difference in a child's life, the Pruitts recommend SMA Support (www.smasupport.com) and Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (www.FSMA.org).

2 0 10 OUTLOOK t the beginning of 2009, many fans, coaches and players in the softball world knew Rachel Lawson and the Wildcats were on the verge of a breakthrough season. Only those directly involved with the University of Kentucky could predict the revolution the 2009 season would become. After what can be categorized as the most successful season in Kentucky history, Lawson’s 2010 edition is reloaded and re-energized for a continued upward climb.
A
Kentucky leaped into the middle of the pack in the ever-grueling Southeastern Conference in 2009 after being slated to finish last by the league’s coaches in a preseason poll. UK capped the regular season as the sixth-best team in the conference and then waltzed into the SEC Tournament and knocked off top-10 ranked and eventual College World Series participant, Georgia, 2-0, in what was UK’s first postseason victory. UK continued to add to its already successful season with the first NCAA appearance in school annals. UK went 2-2 in the tournament and eventually dropped a heartbreaker to Ohio State for the right to advance to an NCAA Super Regional. The 2010 team returns all eight of its position starters and the three pitchers in its starting rotation. Kentucky’s first All-America selection in school history, Molly Johnson, returns to headline a squad full of veterans who now understand the discipline, hard work and effort it takes to win in the SEC after experiencing the thrill a season ago. An obstacle does loom large for this year’s squad. No longer is there an element of surprise, as teams are fully aware of the talent Kentucky possesses. UK knocked off three ranked opponents a year ago and staged five seventh-inning comeback efforts while facing a top-five ranked schedule. “Last year was very successful and we were able to make tremendous strides as a team and as individuals,” Lawson said. “We know we can win big games, but we cannot become overly confident and expect to win with the schedule that we have this season.” Kentucky once again faces a top-five schedule and will meet 16 NCAA Tournament teams from a season ago, four who were a part
12
of the Women’s College World Series. The SEC had a record-breaking nine teams advance to the NCAA Tournament a year ago, and once again UK will face all 10 conference opponents this season as the SEC continues to reign as one of the toughest conferences in the nation. “It may sound cliché, but when you play in the SEC you face the best competition in the nation,” Lawson said. “In preparing for the SEC we must face tough teams in the non-conference portion of the schedule and we will continue to do that.”
The Wildcats made improvements in every area of the game from Lawson’s first season to her second, and will need to continue to strengthen its numbers if UK wants to return as one of the best teams in the conference to the league tournament in Fayetteville, Ark., at the end of the season. With a remarkable fall of training and continued improvement in the weight room, Kentucky is poised for another successful run. PITCHERS Kentucky will enjoy the returns of its starting three pitchers from a season ago in Chanda Bell, Amber Matousek and Rachel Riley. The rotation combined for one of the best earned run averages and strikeout numbers in school history. As a unit, they totaled a 2.91 ERA and struck out 315 batters. Bell shined in the early going of the season as she set the single-game record with 15 strikeouts in multiple outings. The true freshman rang up a sparkling 19-8 record in her first collegiate season before charting the single-season record for strikeouts with 216 on the year. A midseason leg injury forced her out of the rotation and she never truly regained her form despite earning an NCAA postseason victory over BYU. After a strong fall season, her return will be a major

factor in UK’s success in 2010. Riley stepped into the role of hero once Bell was sidelined. The second true freshman to shine in the rotation saw limited action in the early going of the season before enjoying a breakout performance against top-ranked Florida in April. Riley held the Gators to just one hit in eight innings before a fielding error allowed the No. 1 team in the land to escape with a 1-0 victory. Riley finished the year with a 7-8 record but topped the team with an impressive 2.35 ERA. Matousek, the lone upperclassman, has continued to improve in each season under Lawson. She is a veteran leader who has tallied more than 25 wins in her career. As a junior she claimed her best record as a starter with an 8-7 mark and the best ERA of her career, while adding 61 strikeouts. Kentucky will rely on her consistency and continued upward climb in 2010. INFIEL D Johnson anchors the infield at her starting shortstop position. She has started every game of her career and ranks among UK’s all-time bests in a number of categories including possessing a .395 lifetime career batting average. The senior should cap her career as the top
Region selection after a season in which she batted .321 and led the team with 37 RBI. Additionally, she was nearly flawless in the field with a .997 fielding percentage. Yocke has also started every game of her career in the Blue and White to add even more veteran leadership. Riley will add to the rotation after seeing time at second base in her first season, although her main duties will be from the circle. Sophomore Ashleigh Gustafson and redshirt freshman Jessica Adkins saw limited action in their first seasons, but they will also contribute to the infield. Freshmen Kara Dill and Jessica Rose complete the infield rotation. Dill was a standout player in Ohio capping her high school career as the most prolific batter in school history with a .565 career batting average. Rose was the offensive most valuable player on her high school squad after charting 28 RBI and a .415 batting average as a senior.
producer in several more offensive categories before all is said and done. A three-time AllSEC performer, Johnson will look to finish her career on a high note. Senior Natalie Smith has been a stalwart at second base since her arrival. She has started 150 games in her career at the position and also ranks among one of the best statistical players in school history. As a junior, Smith posted a .255 batting average and tallied seven extra-base hits, including her first career walk-off home run with a solo shot to upset top-15 Tennessee. Junior Samantha DeMartine began her first season as a full-time starter at first base a year ago and produced a .979 fielding percentage while setting the single-game school record in putouts with 19 on two occasions. DeMartine added four home runs and 22 RBI from the plate. Sophomore Brittany Cervantes started 57 games as a true freshman with most of those nods coming at third base. Cervantes also saw time at catcher and at first base. The first-year player led the team with 10 home runs and posted the second-most RBI with 35. Junior Megan Yocke anchors the infield from her post at catcher. As a sophomore she earned All-SEC second-team honors and was an All-

Three players were named to All-SEC teams, including Johnson to the conference’s second team while freshmen Meagan Aull and Megan Yocke were tabbed AllFreshman team performers.

Pitcher Amber Matousek became the first pitcher in 10 years to record 10 or more strikeouts in a game when the sophomore right-hander achieved the feat three times in the season. Johnson set the school record for most doubles (20) in a season, while rocketing up the school charts for career home runs, doubles, batting average, slugging percentage and on-base percentage. During the season the head coach also charted her 100th career victory in a 5-1 UK triumph over Eastern Illinois on March 1. Lawson became just the third head coach in the history of the Kentucky softball program after spending three seasons at Western Kentucky.

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING K athletes are in top shape because of the determination and goals set before the season starts. It begins in the offseason, in the weight room.
U
The Kentucky Wildcats are very dedicated in the weight room throughout the year. Strength and conditioning coach Stephanie TraceySimmons has built a regimen for the Cats that not only helps them get stronger and faster, but helps keep them free from injury. She monitors theWildcats’ workouts on a daily basis and assists them with planning a proper diet. “Our number one goal is to create a comprehensive training program which encompasses the areas of speed, power, strength, agility, flexibility, balance and nutrition,” TraceySimmons said. “Through these avenues, we are providing the athletes with the tools they need to reach their athletic potential, while remaining injury-free,” The primary focus of Tracey-Simmons’ weight room is the development of core strength by using ground-based, multi-joint lifting through use of the Olympic lifts. By incorporating this
explosive style of lifting, athletes become more powerful which results directly in becoming faster. The core of the athlete’s body also is trained and complemented with a variety of lifts such as squats, lunges, plyometrics, presses, pulls, trunk rotation and abdominal exercises. It is through the periodized combination of

these exercises that the athletes take steps to reaching the number one goal. Another major focus of the strength staff is the development of sport-specific speed, agility and conditioning. This facet of training is developed through many different types of footwork patterns, change of direction drills and linear fitness.

SEC Softball will celebrate its 14th year of existence in 2010 and has established itself as one of the leading conferences in the sport. The Southeastern Conference qualified a record nine teams for the 2009 NCAA Tournament: Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State and Tennessee, as the conference made its 12th overall and seventh consecutive Women’s College World Series appearance. For the second consecutive year, Florida received the No. 1 national seed, while the SEC grabbed four total national seeds: No. 4 Alabama, No. 6 Georgia and No. 13 Tennessee. The highlight of the season was when the SEC advanced a league record three of the final four teams to the WCWS: Florida, Alabama and Georgia. Florida claimed its second consecutive SEC title and tournament title with a 26-1 record. The Gators posted a 63-5 overall record. Florida’s Tim Walton was named Coach of the Year while Stacey Nelson earned Pitcher of the Year honors. Alabama’s Charlotte Morgan was named Player of the Year and the Tide’s Amanda Locke captured Freshman of the Year honors. Tennessee’s Lillian Hammond was selected as Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Softball came under the auspices of the Southeastern Conference in the 1996-97 season. Since that time, 10 different conference teams have made appearances in the NCAA Championship, including six teams earning Women’s College World Series berths: one by South Carolina in the inaugural season, Alabama in 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009, Florida in 2008 and 2009, Georgia in 2009, LSU in 2001 and 2004, and Tennessee in 2005, 2006 and 2007. Eight teams (Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Tennessee) have made top-25 appearances and six teams have climbed into the top 10 (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, LSU, South Carolina and Tennessee) of the NFCA/USA Today Poll. At least one SEC team has been ranked in the poll each week since the inception of SEC Softball. South Carolina is the flagship team of the league with a rich history in softball dating back 35 seasons. The Gamecocks have made 15 NCAA Regional and three Women’s College World Series appearances. Mississippi State played softball for five seasons during the 1980s before resuming the sport when it was added to the SEC. Tennessee added softball in 1995-96, one year before its inception in the SEC. Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU and Ole Miss began softball programs in 1996-97 to give the league 11 representatives (Vanderbilt does not sponsor softball). The 1999 season was the first in which the conference was eligible for an automatic berth to the NCAA Championships. As the sport continues to grow in competitiveness and popularity, the SEC has had six different regular season champions and five different conference tournament champions.

U K TRADITIONS BLUE & W H I T E The University of Kentucky adopted blue and white as its official colors in 1892. Originally, however, UK students had decided on blue and light yellow prior to the KentuckyCentre College football game on Dec. 19, 1891. The shade of blue, which is close to a royal blue, was chosen when a student asked the question, “What color blue?” At the time, Richard C. Stoll (who lettered in football at UK in 1889-94) pulled off his necktie and held it up. The students then adopted that particular shade of blue. A year later, UK students officially dropped the light yellow color for white.
W I L D C ATS NICKNAME The official nickname for the University of Kentucky’s athletics teams is “Wildcats.” The nickname became synonymous with UK shortly after a 6-2 football victory over Illinois on Oct. 9, 1909, on the road. Commandant Carbusier, then head of the military department at old State University (UK), told a group of students in a chapel service following the game that the Kentucky football team had “fought like Wildcats.” Later, the name Wildcats became more and more popular among UK followers as well as with members of the media. As a result, the nickname was adopted by the university. L I V E M ASCOT In 2002, the university, in cooperation with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, adopted a three-year-old male bobcat to serve as the Wildcats’ “official” mascot. The wildcat has a permanent residence on display at a game farm just west of the state capitol in Frankfort, Ky. The UK Athletics Association sponsored a name-the-wildcat Internet contest and the final three possibilities were Tucky, Blue and Champ, with Blue earning the final nod after nearly 50,000 votes were cast. Through the years, UK has had other official live mascots with colorful names. Records indicate that the first wild animal was given to

the university in 1921. Named “Tom,” this live Kentucky wildcat died quickly from captivity and was replaced by “TNT.” Other live mascots followed, including “Whiskers,” “Hot Tamale” and “Colonel,” only to pass on due to old age or being turned loose in the mountains after they failed to thrive in captivity. The current Wildcat was born in captivity and donated by the Woods and Wetlands of Cadiz Ky. His life expectancy is 15-25 years. WILDCAT MASCOT The Wildcat mascot originated during the 1976-77 academic year at UK. Gary Tanner was the original Wildcat dancing and entertaining thousands of UK fans at Commonwealth Stadium and Rupp Arena during athletic events. A few years later, he was joined by another Wildcat – walking on stilts – who made his appearance during UK’s twin tower era of Melvin Turpin and Sam Bowie. Even today, the original mascot is joined by Scratch, who’s a more childfriendly mascot and serves as the host of UK’s official Kids Club. Today, both mascots attend all sporting events, several academic functions and generally serve as friendly ambassadors for the university.
