NO HYPHEN, PLEASE The UNCG sports information office asks members of the media not to put a hyphen in our school’s name While at one time all of the schools in the UNC system included a hyphen in their names (i.e. UNC-Wilmington, UNC-Asheville), that standard changed several years ago not to include a hyphen (i.e. UNC Greensboro). On first reference, we prefer that you use UNC Greensboro or UNCG. On second reference, UNCG is perfectly acceptable (not UNC-G as was used in the old days).

Thanks for your cooperation.

Emily MARRON HEAD COACH

Seventh year at UNCG Seventh year overall Penn State, 1998

Emily Marron begins her seventh season as head coach of the women’s golf program at UNC Greensboro. Marron was selected as the Spartans’ coach in 2003.

Under her leadership, the Spartans have continued to be contenders for the Southern Conference title. The Spartans have finished fourth or better in four of her six seasons.

Marron led the Spartans to a second-place finish at the 2008 SoCon Championship at Stono Ferry GC. It was UNCG’s best finish since 2002, when the Spartans completed a run of five consecutive second-place finishes.

The Spartans had three players in the top 10, led by Erica Creed’s fifth-place finish.

Last season, UNCG turned in a fifth-place finish at the SoCon Championship, one stroke out of fourth. Creed carded her second straight top-10 finish at the league tournament, tying for ninth place.

During the regular season, Marron led the Spartans to the win in their own UNCG Starmount Classic, topping the 15-team field in a tiebreaker over defending champion East Carolina. Three Spartans finished in the top 10, with Creed tying for third, Annelie Weimenhog tying for fifth and Ashley Parrott tying for eighth. The tournament win was UNCG’s first since September 2000. The Spartans pulled off the win in record fashion, smashing the school record for a 54-hole tournament with a score of 894, seven strokes better than the previous mark.

Later in the season, the Spartans tied for fifth at the UNCW Lady Seahawk Classic and finished seventh at the John Kirk/Panther Intercollegiate. UNCG set another school record in the spring portion of the season, carding a thirdround 290 at the JMU Eagle Landing Invitational to shave two strokes off of the previous school record for an 18-hole team round.

The Spartans excelled in the classroom in 2009, as well. Sofia Aidemark was named to the ESPN The Magazine Women’s At-Large Academic All-District second team, while Aidemark and Creed earned spots on the National Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar Team. For Creed, it marked the second straight season she had earned the award.

UNCG also put a school-record four student-athletes on the Academic All-Southern Conference squad, with Aidemark, Creed, Jennifer Link and Annelie Weimenhog – more than half of the seven-member roster – earning the distinction.

The Spartans placed fourth at the 2007 Southern Conference Tournament with four golfers finishing in the top 15 - Parrott (tied for fifth), Gabby DiMora (tied for 12th), and Ashley Mylton and Weimenhog (tied for 14th). For the second year, Mylton was named all-conference. In other tournament action, UNCG tied for fourth at the Nittany Lion Invitational, finished ninth at both the lady Pirate Invitational and the Landfall Tradition and tied for seventh at the Pinehurst Challenge.

In her third season, Marron led the Spartans to a third-place finish at the SoCon Championship with the help of sophomore Mylton’s second-place finish, which gave her all-conference accolades. The Spartans had six top-10 finishes and a pair of top-five finishes. Mylton also placed second at the Fighting Camel Spring Classic, in which the Spartans placed third. Marron’s group had three seventh-place finishes (Sea Trail Women’s Intercollegiate, Pine Needles Intercollegiate and the Pinehurst Challenge) during the season.

In just her second season at UNCG, Marron guided the Spartans to seven top-10 finishes and three top-five finishes, including a sixth-place finish at the SoCon Championship. The Spartans recorded a second-place finish at the Peggy Kirk Invitational, led by junior Jenna Schmidt’s second-place finish. UNCG also earned a second consecutive second-place finish at the Shamrock Intercollegiate just a week later.

During her first season at the helm of the Spartans, her squad finished third at the 2004 SoCon Championship, which was held April 23-25 in Greensboro. Polly Willett led the club with a third-place finish. The team also placed fourth at the Peggy Kirk Bell Classic, led by Willet, who garnered medalist honors.

Marron came to UNCG after three seasons as an assistant coach at her alma mater, Penn State. While with the Nittany Lions, Marron was the recruiting coordinator and helped lead the squad to the 2003 NCAA East Regional Tournament. Marron was also involved in fundraising, travel, practice and the team’s summer golf camps.

A native of Johnstown, Pa., Marron completed her playing time for Penn State in 1998. An Academic All-Big Ten honoree, she served as the team’s co-captain as a senior. She posted two top-five finishes during the fall of 1997, when she twice shot career-low rounds of 74.

Marron was a two-time All-Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference selection and captured medalist honors at the ECAC Championships as a junior in 1996.

In high school, Marron played golf for the Allegheny-Clarion Valley High School boys’ team. In 1993, she won the Kings Tri-State PGA Tournament and the District 9 qualifying tournament and placed second at the Keystone State Games.

Marron graduated from Penn State in 1998 with a bachelor’s degree in recreation and park management. Upon graduation, Marron worked for one year as an assistant golf professional at The Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz., Phil Mickelson’s home course.

A Class “A” member of the LPGA Teaching and Club Professional Division, Marron taught at the Peter Kostis/Gary McCord Learning Center at Grayhawk.

THE SOUTHERN CONFERENCE The Southern Conference, which began its 89th season of intercollegiate competition in 2009, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models.

The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first conference basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), developing women’s championships (1984), to becoming the first conference to install the three-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer.

The Southern Conference is the nation’s fiftholdest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination.

Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions.

The Conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships.

The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.

Membership history On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee. Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new athletic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play

summer baseball for money.

Play began in the fall of 1921 and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt.

VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929.

By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932 at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt.

According to the minutes of the meeting, Dr. Sanford stated that the division was made along geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J. Tigert, acting as spokesman for the withdrawing group, regretted the move but believed it was necessary as the Southern Conference had grown too large. The resignations were accepted and the withdrawing schools formed the new league which began play in 1932.

The Southern Conference continued with membership of 10 institutions including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary.

Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans five states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia.

Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford.

Leadership John Iamarino was officially named commissioner of the conference on January 2, 2006. Iamarino has promoted the Southern Conference through an ambitious agenda which has improved competition, upgraded compliance-related matters, launched the conference’s Hall of Fame and increased the marketing and brand awareness of the conference and its member institutions.

The Southern Conference named its first commissioner in December 1950. Duke head football coach Wallace Wade made the transition from Blue Devil football coach to athletics administration as the first person at the helm of the conference.

John Iamarino

www.soconsports.com t Lloyd Jordan replaced Wade as the commissioner in 1960 and served a 14-year term until Ken Germann became the league head in 1974. Germann was the commissioner for 13 years and orchestrated the league’s expansion to include women’s athletics. In 1987, he was succeeded by Dave Hart who spearheaded the transfer of the league office from Charlotte, N.C., to Asheville, N.C. Wright Waters succeeded Hart upon his retirement in 1991. Under Waters’ leadership, the Southern Conference expanded to 12 members, added three women’s sports and posted record revenue from the basketball tournament. Waters, who is currently the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference, was followed by Alfred B. White in 1998. White, a veteran member of the NCAA office, introduced the current conference logo and elevated the conference’s commitment to marketing and development of corporate partners.

Danny Morrison headed the conference from 2001-2005 and orchestrated the league’s move from Asheville, N.C., to Spartanburg, S.C. Under Morrison’s leadership, the conference increased its marketing and promotional efforts.

Championship history The first Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the first recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball.

Commissioner Germann spearheaded the Southern Conference’s expansion to include women’s athletics during the 1983-84 season. That year, league championships were held in volleyball, basketball and tennis. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recently, the conference instituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994.

The Germann Cup, named in honor of the former commissioner, annually recognizes the top women’s athletics programs in the conference. From its humble beginnings, women’s athletics have become an integral part of the Southern Conference and its success.

The Southern Conference declares champions in 10 men’s sports - football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track & field, tennis, golf and softball.

Dr. Linda BRADY Chancellor Dr. Linda P. Brady became the 10th chancellor of The University of North Carolina at Greensboro August 1, 2008.

Brady, 61, succeeded Dr. Patricia A. Sullivan, UNCG’s first woman chancellor, who retired July 31, 2008, after almost 14 years in the post.

In recommending Brady to the Board of Governors, UNC President Erskine Bowles said: “Over the past 25 years, Linda Brady has accumulated a wealth of leadership experience at highly respected public, urban universities, as well as in the halls of Washington. At each step along the way, she has proven herself to be an energetic leader who promotes collaboration, creative problem-solving, and real-life commitment to scholarship, research, and public service. …

“With her broad experience in higher education and federal government, her demonstrated integrity and sound judgment, and her profound understanding of the global marketplace in which our students must compete, Linda Brady will be a forceful and effective leader for UNC Greensboro.”

A native of New York City and the first member of her family to attend college, Brady graduated from Douglass College, the women’s division of Rutgers University, in 1969 with a degree in political science. She received a master’s degree in the field from Rutgers (1970) and a doctorate in political science from The Ohio State University (1974). She began her academic career as an assistant professor of political science at Vanderbilt University in 1973 and joined the faculty at Goucher College in Maryland three years later.

From 1978 to 1985, Brady held several positions in the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Defense. Among other roles, she served as a political analyst in the State Department’s Office of Disarmament and Arms Control and as special assistant for mutual and balanced force reductions in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. She later served as a senior fellow in international security and arms control at the Carter Center of Emory University (1986-87) and as a distinguished professor of national security at the U.S. Military Academy (1991-92).

From 1993 to 2001, Brady led the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where she was also a professor of international affairs. She joined North Carolina State University in 2001 as Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and professor of political science, and over the next five years was credited with building the stature and visibility of the College, launching a number of new graduate degree programs, and significantly increasing external support for the humanities and social sciences at NC State. She left North Carolina in 2006 to become the chief academic and operating officer at the University of Oregon.

Brady has authored or co-edited three books and numerous book chapters and scholarly articles in the fields of American foreign policy, international negotiation, and arms control.

I shall not let you down.”

Kim RECORD Director of Athletics Kimberly S. “Kim” Record, was named to the post of director of intercollegiate athletics at UNCG on Sept. 27, 2009.

Record, who most recently had served as a consultant with ISP Sports, was the senior associate director of athletics at Florida State Unviersity from 1995 to 2008, and held a succession of positions at the University of Virginia from 1984-1995, culminating with an appointment as associate director of athletics for administration.

She emerged from a national search that drew 125 candidates, and is UNCG’s first female athletic director. There are only 29 female athletic directors in the NCAA Division I, with five of them in the UNC system. Record is only the second woman to hold an athletic director’s position in the 89-year history of the Southern Conference.

“I am delighted that Kim Record is joining UNCG as director of intercollegiate athletics,” said UNCG Chancellor Linda P. Brady. “She is the right person for this position, and she possesses the leadership, administration and fundraising skills that are essential to bringing greater success to Spartan athletics. I look forward to working with her to raise UNCG’s program to a higher level of visibility and excellence.”

At UNCG, Record will lead a program that fields men’s and women’s teams in 18 sports, 250 student-athletes, and 57 employees. She succeeds Nelson E. Bobb, UNCG’s first-ever AD who resigned from the post in the spring, after directing Spartan athletics for 26 years.

Record will be responsible for the leadership, administration, organization and finances of UNCG’s athletics program, which is undergoing a major shift in its men’s basketball program. The Spartan men’s basketball team will be playing its games in the Greensboro Coliseum beginning this season.

Among other responsibilities, she will coordinate fundraising and operation of the Spartan Club with the vice chancellor for university advancement. She will oversee efforts to engage alumni, fans and the community with UNCG athletics. The AD also takes the lead role in strategic planning and in athletics facilities development. The athletics budget is approximately $8.8 million, and athletic scholarships provided for the 2009-10 academic

year exceed $2.1 million.

In her 13 years at Florida State, she had a broad range of administrative duties, including serving as a member of the Executive Management Team, which determined and implemented policy decisions for a 19-sport, $50 million intercollegiate program.

She directly supervised three sports programs – men’s and women’s basketball and women’s soccer – and monitored Title IX compliance. Other areas included executivelevel staffing; day-to-day departmental operations; serving as liaison with the trademark licensing program; and oversight for marketing, media and public relations, and radio and television contracts.

In construction, she facilitated FSU’s $6 million state-of-the-art soccer and softball stadium and its $10 million men’s and women’s basketball training center. She oversaw a project that showcased the history of athletics at FSU as part of a $100 million facilities improvement plan. Her initial responsibilities as associate director of athletics at FSU included oversight of men’s and women’s tennis, swimming & diving and softball. Record also held the designation of senior woman administrator.

At Virginia, she supervised all aspects of the day-to-day operations of the department and specialized in external operations. She implemented marketing and promotional strategies for all 26 sports programs as associate director of athletics for external operations. She was the executive staff member of a capital campaign team created to raise $50 million. She came up through the ranks at Virginia, where she earned her bachelor’s degree, starting out as a sports information intern who was progressively promoted in the department to associate director of athletics for administration.

As a consultant with ISP, Record provided marketing expertise in the area of athletics sports signage, including videoboards, scorer’s tables and other digital signage. She has also coordinated purchase and installation between vendor, institution and ISP. Within the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), Record has served on both the executive committee and the Director’s Cup Committee. Within the NCAA, she served on the Women’s Soccer Committee and the Regional Soccer Committee.

A native of Charlottesville, she graduated form Virginia and earned the M.S. degree in sports management from Florida State. She has two sons – Kyle, 21, a third-year student at the University of Virginia, and Josh, 16, a sophomore at Leon High School in Tallahassee, Fla.

SPARTAN SUCCESS Student-athletes at UNCG have enjoyed a tremendous amount of success over the years. Although the athletic department just celebrated its 40th season last year, athletics at UNCG date back to the 1940s in the days before the university became co-ed.

Golfer Nancy Porter, who went on to a successful pro career, is regarded as one of UNCG’s first student-athletes, competing in tournaments on the national level in the late 1940s.

In 1963, as the university prepared to go co-ed, UNCG began to formally organize athletic teams. Women’s basketball, under head coach Ellen Griffin, women’s tennis, women’s golf and field hockey were started. LPGA Hall of Famer Carol Mann was on one of the early UNCG women’s golf teams.

In 1967, UNCG began men’s athletics and the intercollegiate athletics program received formal recognition from the University. In the fall of 1967, the Spartan was adopted as the program’s mascot.

In 1968, UNCG’s men’s teams joined the Dixie Athletic Conference, known today as the USA South Conference on the NCAA Division III level. Women’s teams competed as part of the AIAW early on, with UNCG being one of the lead organizers of the organization.

Two of the first men’s sports were basketball and bowling.

In 1971, with the emergence of the five-player rule in women’s basketball, UNCG finished fourth in the National Collegiate Tournament.

Two years later, the women’s golf team won the AIAW national title – UNCG’s firstever team national crown. Porter coached the squad and future professional golfer Donna Horton White was on the squad.

Since then, UNCG has enjoyed a number of successes: • Five national titles in men’s soccer during the 1980s and a runner-up finish in women’s tennis.

• An unprecedented five-year move from Division III to Division II to Division I. • A trip to the “Big Dance” – the NCAA men’s basketball tournament – in just its fifth year of Division I status.

• Men’s soccer coach Michael Parker and women’s basketball coach Lynne Agee were the first to lead teams to the NCAA tournament in all three divisions.

• A baseball squad built from scratch by Mike Gaski that made it to the NCAA tournament in just its fifth season of play.

• A men’s soccer program that conquered all comers for two months to become the No. 1 team in the nation in 2004, the beginning of UNCG’s three straight NCAA tournament Round of 16 appearances and four in five years.

• Kyle Hines, who became just the sixth player in college basketball history to record 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 300 blocked shots in a career.

• Individuals like wrestler Dock Kelly, who overcame birth defects that left him without legs qualifying for the NCAA Championship.

• Students like Siggi Eyjolffson, who earned Academic All-American honors three times.

From major league gue pitcher Brian Moehler to MLS champion Alejandro lejandro Moreno to LPGA star Becky Morgan, Spartan alumni have gone on to successful careers ers in sports. That success ss isn’t just limited to thee playing field, either. Thee late Doug Hamilton was one of the pioneerss within MLS and played ed on the UNCG national al championship teams ms off the 1980s. Eyjolffson son returned to his native ve Iceland and is one ne of the top people in his native country’s soccer federation, currently serving as their women’s national team head coach.

S p a r t a n athletics has had its ts success stories over ver the years … and the he best is yet to come.
