2011 SEASON
PREVIEW
vol season preview After coaching the Lady Vol cross country team the past nine seasons, Tennessee Director of Track & Field and Cross Country J.J. Clark will take on the added responsibility of leading the men’s program in 2011. He replaces 16-year veteran George Watts, who was not retained following the 2010-11 campaign. “I’m extremely excited to be the men’s coach,” Clark said. “It’s a new challenge for me. I like challenges, and this is a way for me to connect stronger with the men’s team. “I’m excited about it. We have to put some pieces together, and we will.” In his first campaign as Vol coach, Clark will have on hand six returning letterwinners, three of whom are only sophomores. He also welcomes eight newcomers into the fold, drawing an extremely youthful hand as a first-year skipper attempting to put his stamp on the men’s team. Unfortunately for the Big Orange, the squad will no longer have the services of four departed runners who were contributors for the program. Michael Spooner, Chris Rapp and Steve Fassino were lost to graduation, while Peter Sigilai opted not to return after missing last season due to injury. While Rapp and Fassino were key performers a year ago and during their careers, and Sigilai lettered in 2009, only Spooner leaves Rocky Top with all-star accolades. The four-year letterman joined elite UT company when he collected the third All-SEC and All-South Region certificates of his career in 2010 and qualified for the NCAA Championship meet. Clark is fortunate, though, to have on his roster a trio of Vols who earned accolades in 2010 for their showings at key meets. Senior Chris Bodary leads the way after garnering All-South Region acclaim for finishing 23rd at the NCAA South meet and crossing the line second among Vols there a year ago. He was Tennessee’s No. 2 man in three of the five races he ran in 2010, including a personal-best fifth-place finish at the Commodore Classic on Sept. 18. “Chris Bodary had a great regional race and was an all-region runner for us last year,” Clark said. “We look for him to have another good cross country season and help set the tone for our team.” Sophomores Jake Rainey and Daniel Tobin also drew notices for their efforts as rookies. Rainey, who led the team to a runner-up finish with a personal sixth-place output in his initial college meet at the Belmont-VU Opener, joined Tobin on the SEC All-Freshman Team in 2010. Rainey and Tobin ran fourth and fifth for the Vols at the SEC meet, carding 34th- and 36th-place outcomes in Columbia, S.C. Both ran in all six meets for Team Orange a season ago, matching those No. 4 and No. 5 team scorer positions at the NCAA South Regional as well. “Jake and Daniel showed great promise last season as freshmen,” Clark said. “They were key members of our team in 2010, and we look for them to be factors for this year’s squad, without a question.” Seniors Tom Gilmartin and Joe Franklin are veteran harriers whom Clark expects to make a difference in their final seasons in orange. Gilmartin saw duty in five meets as a junior, contributing to the scoring tally on two occasions. He finished seventh and sixth on the squad for Tennessee, though, at the league and regional races in 2010, so Clark will need Vol senior Chris Bodary was an All-South Region honoree last the Knoxville native to season and is Tennessee’s top returning runner in 2011.

raise the bar in his final season. Franklin did not compete last year while battling injuries, but he could be a scorer if he returns to health. Franklin appeared in five meets two seasons ago and competed in both the 2008 and 2009 SEC Championships for the team from Rocky Top. “Tom is someone returning who can move into a position to help us out,” Clark said. “Along with Chris, Jake and Daniel, he gives us four guys back who were contributors last year. “Joe has tremendous ability to help our program. I look forward to seeing that happen. Joe was banged up a little bit last year, but I believe he can be an asset at the 8K and 10K distances.” Stephen Derlath Tom Gilmartin, one of seven returning letterwinners for the Big also is back after lettering Orange, is eyeing even greater improvement this season. as a freshman. He scored for Tennessee in one meet and finished in ninth place on the team at the SEC Championships. Additional returnees include senior Scott March, junior Breon Dixon, and sophomores Jordan Chaney and Alex McCandless. Chaney, who did not run cross country in his first two college seasons because of injury, could be someone who emerges if he continues the improvement he demonstrated during the 2011 track season. Clark also will be looking for someone from the large group of newcomers to step up. Jeremy Dickie and Austin Whitelaw appear to be the most likely to emerge from the freshman class. Dickie, younger brother of former Vol Bob Dickie and former Lady Vol Sharon Dickie, was the 2009 Michigan state runner-up for the lower peninsula, while Whitelaw was the 2010 secondplace finisher. Highly-touted 800 runner Nick Kaiser is the third member of the Michigan rookie trio, but his quickest route to impact seems to be on the oval. Other freshmen include J.R. Creekmore, Jack Felix, Scott Foy, Zack Royster and Kyle Walter. Also new is junior Garrek Thompson, a transfer from LSU, who sat out last season and looks to be more of a factor on the oval in the spring. “You add the incoming freshmen, Whitelaw, Dickie and a couple others, and it should balance out our team pretty nicely,” Clark said. “Kaiser will train with cross country, and we’ll see how he takes to that role. We’re hoping for some surprises from the rest of the group.” Clark’s unit will get its first test on Sept. 2 at the 5K Belmont-VU Opener in Nashville, followed by a home meet, the 8K Tennessee Invitational, at Lambert Acres Golf Club in Maryville on Sept. 17. It will mark the Vols’ first time as a regular-season host since the 2008 campaign. Following 8K races at the Brooks Paul Short Run and Crimson Classic on Sept. 30 and Oct. 15, respectively, the Big Orange men will return home to host the SEC Championship meet for the first time since 1998. Lambert Acres will be the site for the 8K trophy battle on Oct. 31. The UT men, who finished fourth at both the league and region meets in 2010, will travel to Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Nov. 12 for the NCAA South Regional. At that meet, the Vols will attempt to qualify for their first NCAA Championship meet since 2005. If they make it, they’ll compete in Terre Haute, Ind., at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course on Nov. 21. “My objective is the same for the whole program,” Clark said. “It is to establish a relationship or rapport, demonstrate how I coach and then get them going as fast as I possibly can. I look forward to the opportunity.”
lady vol season preview Price was working her way into shape, Amber Zimmerman assumed a leadership role for Tennessee as a rookie last year. The product of Knoxville paced the Lady Vols in five of her six races in 2010, just missing Freshman All-SEC honors at the conference meet and running personalbest times from two miles to 6K in her last five meets a year ago. “The key for Amber is to stay healthy,” Clark said. “She had a little injury at the end of the season last year, but she has bounced back. If she stays healthy, she’ll be a solid runner in our top five throughout the year.” Joining that trio in the returning letterwinners club are seniors Elizabeth Tiller and Elizabeth Altizer and juniors Andrea Ferri, Ramzee Fondren and Chanelle Price won’t run in every meet, but she’ll be counted on to shine when she’s inserted into the lineup for postseason action. Kelsey Kane. Tiller scored in Tennessee’s top three on four occasions and factored into the team scoring in all six meets. Altizer became a consistent point-contributor, Ferri and Fondren began to show signs of developing, and Kane resumed competition after injuries and resulting surgery sidelined her for two seasons. Also back are juniors Charity Honeycutt, Chelsea Knotts and Nijgia Snapp, and redshirt freshmen Brittney Jackson, Ty-Vonna Johnson and Kianna Ruff. Honeycutt has three college cross country races to her credit, while Knotts has two. This group of runners, which is geared for the 800 on the track, most likely will be groomed the same as Price, seeing limited action on the trails and occasionally being pressed into duty. Four newcomers, meanwhile, enter the Big Orange program, and Clark looks for at least two of them to have an impact on the 2011 team’s fortunes. Freshmen Amirah Johnson, a four-time all-county selection from Greenbelt, Md., and Lizzie Cornell, a 2010 all-stater from Virginia Beach, Va., enter the fray, as do local products Julia Petree (Maryville H.S.) and Patavia Lowery (Knoxville West H.S.), a transfer from South Carolina State. Lowery made the All-MEAC Cross Country Team as a freshman as SCSU, placing 13th. With the same schedule as the men’s team, Clark’s unit will get its first test on Sept. 2 at the 5K Belmont-VU Opener in Nashville, followed by a home meet, the 5K Tennessee Invitational, at Lambert Acres Golf Club in Maryville on Sept. 17. It will mark the Lady Vols’ first time as a regularseason host since the 2008 campaign. Following a 6K race at the Brooks Paul Short Run and a 5K affair at the Crimson Classic on Sept. 30 and Oct. 15, respectively, the Big Orange women will return home to host the SEC Championship meet for the first time since 1998. Lambert Acres will be the site for the 6K trophy battle on Oct. 31. The UT women then will travel to Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Nov. 12 for the NCAA South Regional. At that meet, the Lady Vols will be attempting to qualify for their first NCAA Championship meet since 2006. If they make it, they’ll compete in Terre Haute, Ind., at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course on Nov. 21. “We have some positive things to look forward to,” Clark said. “We’re also going to need some surprises from someone. “Who? I’m not sure, but we have a couple of newcomers who can come in and step up and help out also. It will be a better year and a lot more successful as we move forward.”

PREVIEW
J.J. Clark is the most successful head coach the Lady Vol cross country team has ever had. The 10th-year skipper has four NCAA South Regional titles, three Southeastern Conference Championships and five NCAA appearances under his belt while leading the Big Orange, but even the best go through challenging times. That was the case for Clark and the UT women in 2010, when they struggled to 12th place in the SEC and 18th in the South Region after eight-straight top-three league outings and the same string of top-four region showings. A youthful squad to begin with, injuries to two key runners in particular helped make for a long year for Tennessee. The good news for Clark and company, though, is that the team lost only one runner from 2010 and eight letterwinners return. Included in that list of veterans is senior Brittany Sheffey, who redshirted the cross country slate due to injury a year ago, and senior Chanelle Price, who was working her way back from injury while running as a junior. “We have everyone coming back, so we’ll be in a better spot, and we’ll insert Brittany Sheffey, which will help us tremendously,” Clark said. “Last year, Chanelle came in at the end of the season to help out. She was not in the best of shape early on after being injured the previous outdoor track season. “ Sheffey is a two-time All-SEC and All-South Region performer who is coming off a strong track & field season in which she won the SEC Outdoor 1500m title last spring. She also placed third in the 3000m indoors and the 5000m outdoors at the conference meets and was part of UT’s SEC-record-setting distance medley relay unit in 2011. She was the 12th-place finisher at both the 2008 and 2009 SEC Cross Country Championships and has been in Tennessee’s scoring five in all 18 races she’s run in orange. Clark hopes to see her among the top finishers as UT hosts the league meet in 2011. “Brittany is a fifth-year senior and our top returning cross country athlete,” Clark said. “She is going to be a leader for this team, and we hope she can set a good tone as we try to bounce back from last season. Without question, it is great to have her back.” The UT head man also is happy to have Price returning for her senior campaign, this time coming off a healthy season of track. Her 2011 campaign on the oval included a sweep of the SEC 800-meter indoor and outdoor titles and All-America finishes of sixth indoors and third outdoors at the NCAA Championships. Price also ran on UT’s SEC-recordsetting distance medley relay tandem. A year ago, after working her way back from injury, Price led the squad at the two-mile Front Runner Invitational in Chattanooga and scored in second position for Tennessee at the SEC and NCAA South competitions, though she was well back in the field. Price was 18th overall at the 2009 SEC Championships, indicating what she is capable of doing when she is injury-free. Price, though, will be utilized strategically during the cross country season to maintain her health and allow her to benefit the team when it matters most. “Chanelle will be trained intelligently and used rather sparingly during the cross country season,” Clark said. “I’d like to get her in shape for her track season, especially this year, but we’ll wait to get down the road in our season to call on her abilities once or twice to help us out.” While Sheffey was Two-time All-SEC and All-South Region runner Brittany Sheffey is busy convalescing and J.J. Clark’s top returnee for the Lady Vols in 2011.

J.J. CLARK Director of Track & Field and Cross Country
J.J. Clark is in his 10th year at Tennessee, where he spent seven seasons as head coach of the women’s cross country and track & field programs before also assuming leadership of the men’s track & field team prior to the 2009-10 campaign. In 2011-12, Clark adds another responsibility to his list, as he takes over coaching duties of the men’s cross country and distance units after coaching only the women’s group the past nine years. A two-time NCAA and six-time SEC champion coach with the Lady Vol track & field and cross country teams from 2002-09, Clark heads up one of the most storied collegiate programs in the nation. The cross country teams have thrived at UT, boasting a national championship and 30 SEC titles between them since their inception. The men’s and women’s teams also have made a combined 44 appearances at national championship meets and hosted the NCAA Championships together in 1990 at Pine Lakes Golf Course in Rockford, Tenn. On the oval, Tennessee has won seven national championships and claimed 51 SEC titles (22 indoors/29 outdoors) in track & field through the years. CLARK’S BIG ORANGE SUCCESS... The architect of an amazing reclamation project with the women’s cross country and track & field programs at Rocky Top, Clark spent seven impressive seasons in Knoxville before assuming control of both the men’s and women’s teams. During that time, the women’s cross country program benefited immensely from Clark’s tutelage, claiming SEC hardware from 2003-05 and NCAA South Region plaques from 2002-05, and making NCAA Championships appearances from 2002-06. He stands as the all-time winningest women’s cross country coach in the history of UT Athletics. On the trails, his distaff troops carved out eight consecutive top-three performances at the SEC Championships (2002-09), including three runnerup finishes to go along with the three victories. At the regional level, Team Orange has wound up fourth or better in eight of nine seasons under his watch, finishing third three times along with the four triumphs the squad has enjoyed. During the track & field portion of the season, he has directed the Lady Vols to NCAA Indoor National Championships in 2005 and 2009, SEC Indoor Championships in 2005, 2007 and 2009, and an NCAA Mideast Regional crown outdoors in 2005. With Clark at the helm, Tennessee has enjoyed six top-five NCAA women’s track & field finishes (Indoors: 1st in 2005 and 2009, 2nd in 2010, 3rd in 2007 and
4th in 2004; Outdoors: 4th in 2005) and four additional top-10 outings (Indoors: seventh in 2011, t8th in 2008; Outdoors: t7th in 2004, t10th in 2009) during his stay in Knoxville. UT also has nine SEC top-three outcomes (seven indoors, two outdoors) since 2003, with runner-up efforts indoors in 2004 and 2008 in addition to the titles won in 2005, 2007 and 2009. He now is trying to match that feat with the men’s team. 21-TIME COACH OF THE YEAR... Clark has been recognized far and wide for his acumen in track & field and cross country, earning a total of 21 coach of the year accolades (11 track & field/10 cross country) during a career which also includes 10 seasons as women’s cross country coach and assistant track & field coach at Florida (19922002). Among his 10 honors for cross country, Clark is a five-time South Region Women’s Coach of the Year (1997, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005) and a five-time SEC Women’s Coach of the Year (1996, 1997, 2003, 2004, 2005). His 1996 and 1997 recognitions came while he was at Florida. The crafty skipper twice has been named national women’s collegiate indoor track & field coach of the year, reaping the award from the USTFCCCA in 2009 and the USTCA in 2005. Nike also selected him as its 1998 USA Elite Coach of the Year as well. Clark has garnered regional track & field coach of the year distinction on five occasions, collecting USTFCCCA South Region Indoor women’s accord in 2007, 2008 and 2009, and USTCA South Region Indoor and Mideast Region Outdoor women’s kudos in 2005. At the SEC level, the Big Orange boss was named the SEC Women’s Indoor Track & Field Coach of the Year in 2005, 2007 and 2009. DEVELOPING CHAMPIONS AND ALL-AMERICANS AT UT... While winning national and conference titles now are annual, and realistic, goals, turning recruits into top-flight competitors has long been a hallmark of Clark and the Tennessee program. In cross country, Clark has groomed 14 female athletes who have totaled 30 All-South Region awards in nine seasons and 13 who’ve accumulated 22 total All-SEC honors. In addition to qualifying women’s teams for the NCAA Championships from 2002 to 2006, he also had Jackie Areson (2008, 2009, 2010), Sarah Bowman (2008) and Katie Van Horn (2009, 2010) qualify as individuals, with Bowman placing 36th in 2008 to become the first female cross country All-American at Tennessee since Sharon Dickie in 2000. During Clark’s nine years at the wheel of Tennessee track & field, 38 athletes (35 female/three male) have combined to earn 167 (162 female/ five male) All-America certificates, with his charges collecting 12 NCAA titles (nine indoors and three outdoors, all by women). He also has produced 55 SEC championships (53 by women [29 indoors/24 outdoors] and two by men [one indoors/one outdoors] during that time period. Evander Wells was his first male All-America recipient, taking fourth in the 200m outdoors in 2010. Two of Clark’s pupils, 400m whiz DeeDee Trotter and long jump ace Tianna Madison, ascended to stardom on the international stage before their college days were through, resulting in their early departures for the lucrative world of professional track & field. Among UT’s 12 national women’s event winners under Clark’s watch are 2011 indoor 5000m champ Jackie Areson, 2010 indoor and outdoor 800m champ Wright, 2009 indoor mile champ and NCAA meet-record-holder Bowman, 2005 indoor and outdoor long jump winner Madison, 2004 indoor 800m champ Nicole Cook, 2004 outdoor 400m winner Trotter, 2004 DMR legs Brooke Novak, Trotter, Cook and Lindsay Hyatt; 2008 DMR contributors Brittany Sheffey, Brittany Jones, Wright and Bowman; 2009 world-record-setting DMR members Wright, Chanelle Price, Jones and Bowman, who checked in with a sizzling 10:50.98 readout to rewrite women’s history, and 2010 DMR victors Wright, Ellen Wortham, Price and Sheffey. ACADEMIC PROWESS...
J.J. Clark’s ability to prepare his troops has earned him recognition as SEC and NCAA South Region Coach of the Year five times each.

Tennessee cross country /// 2011 Media Guide
In the classroom, Clark ’s high expectations have been met with equal success, as his track & field/cross country troops have tallied 197 (157 women/40 men) SEC Academic Honor Roll recognitions, 24 female Capital One Academic All-District IV nods and 10 female Academic All-America citations since 2002. Bowman became his first two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic AllAmerica honoree in 2009, as she followed up second-team distinction in 2008 with first-team status as a senior. Also earning accolades in 2009 were firstteamer Wright and second-team selection Amanda Alexander. Wright would repeat and be named Academic All-American of the Year for track & field/cross country, while Areson also made the first team in 2010 and Price followed in 2011. Katie Flaute and Christina Billings were second-team ESPN The Magazine honorees in 2007 and 2003, respectively, while Felicia Guliford garnered Academic All-America acclaim from the Women’s Intercollegiate Cross Country Coaches Association in fall 2004.
coaching staff PREVIEW STAFF
Additionally, Clark’s team and individuals are consistently honored by the USTFCCCA and SEC for academics. In 2008 and 2009, Bowman was named both the USTFCCCA Indoor Women’s Track Scholar Athlete of the Year and the SEC Women’s Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year. She also joined Guliford and Wright as Lady Vol harriers nominated for NCAA Woman of the Year. Wright’s 2010 campaign was highlighted by the H. Boyd McWhorter SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award, SEC Track & Field Scholar Athlete of the Year, an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and USTFCCCA Indoor Track Scholar Athlete of the Year, giving UT the honor three years running. The Lady Vols also were recognized as the USTFCCCA Indoor Scholar Team of the Year in both 2009 and 2010. Price followed in the footsteps of Bowman and Wright. She became UT’s four-straight SEC Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year honoree in 2011 as a co-winner.

HISTORY COURSE
Internationally, Tennessee also returned to the scene under Clark, the 2008 U.S. Olympic women’s middle distance coach. His former athletes Bowman (1500m), Cook (800m), Madison (LJ), Trotter (400m/4x400mR), Bennett (800m), Shanna Dickenson (throws), Dickie (distance/XC), Lynne Layne (sprints), Jeneba Tarmoh (sprints) and Cleo Tyson (sprints), and current Lady Vol Price (800m), have performed well for Team USA. Current star Annie Alexander and ex-Lady Vols Rose-Anne Galligan (distance/XC), Toyin Olupona (sprints) and Patricia Hall (sprints), meanwhile, have been fine representatives for Trinidad & Tobago, Ireland, Canada and Jamaica, respectively. Newcomer Justin Hunter became Clark’s first international male competitor, finishing sixth in the long jump at the 2010 IAAF World Junior Championships. World success showered the Big Orange in 2004, as college junior Trotter ran on the victorious U.S. Olympic 4x400m relay unit and grabbed fifth in the open 400 meters before becoming the first underclass Lady Vol to turn pro. Clark also moved four of his pupils into the 800m finals at the U.S. Olympic Trials, where Bennett and Cook finished fourth and seventh, respectively. He advanced two (wife Jearl Miles-Clark and sister Hazel Clark) to the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, where Miles-Clark wound up sixth in her fifth trip to the Olympiad, while a freak accident prevented Clark from advancing beyond the prelims in her second visit to the Games. Hazel would also qualify for the 2008 Games, competing for her brother, J.J., who served as the women’s middle distance coach for the U.S. In 2005, Madison would leap to international stardom, winning the long jump at the IAAF World Outdoor Championships.

REPRESENTING YOUR COUNTRY...
REVIEW
In 2004, Clark returned the Big Orange women to vogue at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, Pa., as the Lady Vol contingent pulled off a hat trick of baton event victories at the Penn Relays. Tennessee quartets captured a trio of “Championships of America” in the distance medley, 4x800m and sprint medley relays, with the latter establishing a collegiate record. UT, which also added an SMR title in 2006 and a DMR crown in 2007, had not won that many relays in Philly since 1984. Tennessee once again pulled off a triple in 2009 and 2010, with Bowman earning athlete of the meet honors for playing a role in UT winning the DMR, 4x1500m and 4x800m events in 2009. The 4x15 unit ran a world-record clocking, while the 4x8 brought the baton home in an American-record readout. Wright, meanwhile, was instrumental in leading UT to victories in those races in 2010. Those 2009 efforts came after an indoor campaign where the Lady Vols twice posted eye-catching marks in the DMR. First, UT ran 10:56.40 for an American record at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational. Then, the Big Orange won the NCAA title in March with the aforementioned world best. Speaking of records, there also have been some other league and NCAA women’s marks set on Clark’s watch. Among them, the 2004, 2010 and 2011 DMRs lowered the SEC record to 11:16.61, 11:14.59 and 11:05.37, respectively, while Cook’s 2005 collegiate record in the 800m also stands as an SEC best. In addition to the DMR upgrade in 2011, Areson posted a league 3K indoor best of 9:10.49, while Liz Costello lowered the SEC 10K mark to 33:42.96. Madison’s leap of 22-8.50 at the 2005 SEC Outdoor meet, while not a record due to a slight gust of 2.2 mps, stood then as the best mark in the 28 years that women had competed in the long jump at the conference championships. Madison’s measurement of 22-3 at the 2005 NCAA Indoor meet, meanwhile, tied Carol Lewis’ American collegiate record and was just short of the NCAA standard. During Clark’s first nine years on The Hill, UT women’s marks in 16 events indoors and 18 events outdoors have been revised, while one men’s best (outdoors) has been eclipsed since 2010. In addition to that, 21 Lady Vol freshman records (10 indoors/11 outdoors) have fallen, and two Vol rookie standards (both indoors in 2011) have tumbled.
Tennessee has had 30 All-South honorees and 22 All-Southeastern Conference runners during Clark’s nine seasons at Rocky Top. IMPACTING BIG ORANGE ATHLETICS... Clark’s impact has been felt beyond the programs he coaches, as well, as his squads’ SEC and NCAA finishes have fueled the most extensive departmentwide spree of female sport success in the history of UT Athletics. The Lady Vols were declared the SEC women’s all-sports winners in 2003-04, 2004-05 and 2005-06 by the New York Times Regional Newspaper Group. Though the Lady Vols and Tennessee finished second in the SEC all-sports standings in 2006-07, the women’s and men’s programs combined to place seventh nationally in the U.S. Sports Academy Director’s Cup standings, marking UT’s highest ranking in history. LIFE BEFORE ROCKY TOP... One of the most respected distance coaches in the nation, Clark enjoyed 10 successful seasons as an assistant from 1992 to 2002 at the University of Florida and spent the 1991-92 year there as a graduate assistant. His group of athletes played a key role in Florida’s SEC Indoor and Outdoor track & field titles in 1997 and 1998, its indoor crown in 2002 and its third-place national finish indoors in 2002. It has been estimated that his charges accumulated more than 650 points in SEC action and 110-plus at the NCAA level during his 10 seasons as a full-time aide. During his tenure with the Gators, Clark groomed two athletes who combined for three SEC Athlete of the Year awards in cross country and track, and developed competitors who racked up five NCAA Championships, 44 NCAA All-America citations and 32 conference championship plaques. Among those were his sister, Hazel, a three-time national champ in the 800 meters and the SEC Indoor Track & Field Athlete of the Year in 1998 and 1999, and Becki Wells, a two-time victor in the mile/1500 meters and the 1996 SEC Cross Country Athlete of the Year. Both own the school records in their respective events, part of a total of 12 such marks accomplished by Clark-tutored athletes at Florida. In cross country, Clark led the school to its first-ever team appearance at the NCAA Championships in 1994. UF was extended invitations four more times to the national meet under his leadership, going in 1995, 1997, 1998 and 1999 and charting a top team finish of 16th on the third of its five trips.

coaching staff Clark also guided Florida to SEC titles in 1996 and 1997, and the Gators claimed NCAA regional titles in 1997 and 1998. Among those drawing kudos for their standout cross country performances were Wells, the 1995 and 1996 SEC champion, and Hilary White, the 2000 SEC Freshman Athlete of the Year. Additionally, Wells and Velsen picked up All-America citations during their careers. INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE COACHING MEN, WOMEN... As mentioned previously, Clark’s influence also extends into the international arena, and his history of preparing athletes for competition is second to none. Proof of that was evident in 2000, when three of his pupils, sisters Joetta and Hazel and wife Jearl, finished one-two-three in the 800m at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Sacramento, Calif., and went on to represent America in Sydney. During his time as head of “Team Clark,” the 1986 Villanova graduate prepared Joetta to compete in four Olympics prior to retiring, Jearl to make five appearances and win two Olympic golds and two world championships, and Hazel to make the finals in her initial trip to the Olympics in 2000 and qualify again in 2004 and 2008. His spouse also maintains the American record she set in the 800m in 1999 and was the 2004 Olympic Trials champion and 2003 USATF outdoor victor in the 800m as well as the 2002 winner in the 400m. In addition to the familial success, he also coached three-time Olympian Mark Everett to a No. 1 USA ranking and fourth-place world rating in the 800 meters. Nike recognized Clark for his work in continuing to develop world-class athletes, naming him the 1998 USA Elite Coach of the Year. Clark’s abilities have also been noticed and rewarded by his sport’s national governing body. After serving as an assistant for the U.S. women at the 1999 IAAF World Track & Field Championships in Greece, he would receive the honor of being named head coach of the 2001 team in Edmonton, Canada.
As previously mentioned, he later earned the distinction of being the middle distance coach for the U.S. women at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. BACKGROUND, EDUCATION AND FAMILY... A product of Maplewood, N.J., and a graduate of Columbia High School, Clark made trips to Knoxville during his teen years to watch his sister Joetta compete for the Lady Vols and saw her help Tennessee win the 1981 AIAW National Outdoor Championship. Those examples left an impression on the younger brother, and he blazed his own trail in track & field. First, he set his own standard of excellence in running, winning the New Jersey high school state title in the mile and two-mile as a senior in 1982. With that kind of effort, he then earned a scholarship to Villanova, where he would develop into a sub-four minute miler in his competitive days en route to qualifying for the 1988 U.S Olympic Trials. After graduating from VU in May of 1986 with a B.A. in communications, Clark returned to his prep alma mater and served as assistant track coach. While at CHS from 1986 to 1989, he worked with the girls’ and boys’ middle distance and sprints corps. Then, in 1991, he made his transition into collegiate coaching, serving as a graduate assistant at Florida for one year before being hired full time there. Clark, who resides in Knoxville with wife Jearl and son Jorell, studied anatomy and physiology coursework in graduate school at UF. Bridging the gap between his high school coaching and college experience, he also took courses in nutrition and exercise physiology in 1990 at Kean College in Union, N.J., and became certified as a licensed sports massage therapist in 1991 from the Florida School of Massage in Gainesville. His father is Joe Lewis Clark, the bat-wielding principal of Paterson, New Jersey’s Eastside High School, depicted by actor Morgan Freeman in the 1989 movie “Lean on Me.”

MARY JAYNE REEVES Assistant Coach Cross Country/Track & Field
Mary Jayne (Harrelson) Reeves is in her first season working with the Tennessee track & field and cross country teams. She joined the Big Orange program after spending the 2010-11 campaign on the staff at the University of Virginia. Reeves will assist J.J. Clark in working with the UT cross country and distance squads and play a key role in the recruiting process. At UVa, she coached women’s cross country and distance runners, developing two ACC champions, three regional qualifiers and three NCAA Championship qualifiers. During the campaign, there were three school records broken, two athletes made the finals of the USA Championships and her NCAA qualifiers cranked out an individual runner-up outing and a third-place relay showing at the national championship meet.

Tennessee cross country /// 2011 Media Guide
In addition to her coaching experience at Virginia, Reeves was at Virginia Tech from 2001 to 2004, serving as an assistant track & field and cross country coach for the Hokie men and women. Besides coordinating the recruitment of male and female student-athletes, she produced two All-Americans (one cross country, one track), six all-region cross country runners and three conference champions. Between her stints in Blacksburg and Charlottesville, and while continuing her professional running career, the Timberland, N.C., native and her husband, Jon, owned and operated Reeves Tennis and Fitness, Inc., in Newnan, Ga. Among her duties were coordinating strength and conditioning for junior and adult athletes, creating women’s fitness programs, directing summer camps, scheduling programming, and managing the budget and accounting for the business. Reeves is making her second stop in Knoxville, having trained as a professional distance runner with Clark from 2004-07. In a post-collegiate career that stretched from 2001 to 2010, she represented both Nike and Brooks and was consistently ranked among the top five female 1500m runners in the U.S. Among her accomplishments were gold medals in the 800 and 1500m at the 2007 NACAC Championships, silver medals in the 1500m at both the 2003 and 2007 Pan Am Games and silvers in the 800m and 1500m at the 2002 U.S. Indoor Championships. She also participated in the 2000, 2004 and 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials, finishing fifth in the 1500m in 2000 and 2004. The recipient of a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Appalachian State University in 2001, Reeves was a two-time NCAA champion (1500m), six-time All-American and 26-time conference champion, including three straight titles in cross country, during her collegiate career. She was twice named the Southern Conference’s Female Athlete of the Year and was the 2001 NCAA Woman of the Year in North Carolina. The Southern Conference inducted her into its hall of fame in 2010.

2010 SEASON
IN REVIEW
2010 vol season in review The Volunteers entered the 2010 campaign with a great deal of optimism, with four veteran seniors, three experienced juniors and a promising newcomer joining the ranks. While the season produced conference and regional improvements over the past two seasons, the Big Orange men weren’t able to get over the hump to bigger and better things. The aforementioned newcomer, however, quickly served notice that he may be capable of helping Tennessee cross that threshhold during his career at Rocky Top. In his first meet, Jake Rainey raced to a sixth-place individual result and paced the Volunteers to second in the team standings at the Belmont-VU Opener at Percy Warner Park in Nashville on Sept. 3. Running on the 5,000-meter Vaughn’s Creek Course, the in-state product from Clarksville covered the distance in 15 minutes, 46.48 seconds to count fifth in the scoring (sixth overall) and lead an extremely young UT contingent to a respectable runner-up outcome in a field of 10 squads. The Big Orange tallied 73 points to wind up behind only Middle Tennessee, which accumulated 49 to claim the title. In addition to the solid showing from Rainey, 16th-year Head Coach George Watts had a redshirt freshman and three other true freshmen in his scoring five. After sitting out 2009, Daniel Tobin, brother of former Vol Steven Tobin, navigated the Music City layout in 16:02.99 to check in 12th overall (11th scorer). Also nabbing top-20 finishes were true freshmen Tyler Freeman in 16th (15th) at 16:10.42, and Stephen Derlath in 17th (16th) at 16:11.63. The Vols’ fifth scoring runner was Alex McCandless, covering the distance in 16:24.59 to place 27th (26th). Junior Scott March (43rd [36th], 17:01.91) was the only other runner from Rocky Top in action, as Watts held out most of his lineup for the early season tune-up race. Two weeks later, Tennessee’s cross country veterans made their 2010 debut in the Music City, and the Vols rode that experience to a dominant victory at the Commodore Classic at Percy Warner Park on Sept. 18. The Vols placed four runners in the top five and tallied 27 points to easily claim the team crown ahead of runner-up Chattanooga (47). Belmont was third with 91, followed by Southeast Missouri (118) and Lipscomb (144) rounding out the top five of the 13-team field. Two-time All-SEC performer Michael Spooner turned in a fine start to his senior campaign, covering the 8,000-meter course in 25 minutes, 25.61 seconds to finish third out of 141 runners. Junior Chris Bodary also recorded a top-five outcome, placing fifth (scoring fourth) in 25:42.14 in his season debut. Three other UT men running their first races of the year also contributed to the scoring total. Senior Steve Fassino was right behind Bodary, taking sixth (5th) in 25:44.46, while junior Tom Gilmartin came in ninth (7th) in 25:49.97. Senior Chris Rapp, seeing his first action since the 2008 campaign, closed out the Big Orange’s scoring five by taking 12th (9th) in 26:00.82. Week one leader Rainey was Tennessee’s sixth finisher, crossing the line right behind Rapp in 13th at 26:02.28. On Oct. 1, Spooner, undeterred by the mud and muck left in the wake of eight inches of rainfall in the Lehigh Valley, turned in a 20th-place finish out of 387 runners in the Gold division race at the Brooks Paul Short Run in Bethlehem, Pa. The Vol standout covered the soggy 8,000-meter layout at Lehigh University’s Goodman Campus Course in 24 minutes, 24 seconds. Tennessee, which had spreads of 38 and 35 seconds between its first and fifth runners in the first two races this season, saw that gap widen to one minute, five seconds this time around. The result was a 13th-place finish for the Big Orange in the 42-team Gold division field. No. 22 Virginia captured the team title with 132 points, followed by No. 24 Georgetown (149). In addition to Spooner, UT’s other scoring runners included Bodary in 61st place (25:00), Rapp in 81st (25:06), Fassino in 130th (127th scorer) at 25:22 and Rainey in 152nd (147th) in 25:29. Week four brought the toughest test yet, as George Watts’ club traveled to the Indiana State University PreNational Invitational on Oct. 16. The Vols didn’t perform as well as they would have liked Michael Spooner qualified for his first NCAA Championship meet in Terre Haute, Ind. as a senior and became one of the elite Vols to earn all-region and With 10 squads in the All-SEC three times.

Tennessee cross country /// 2011 Media Guide
Men’s 8K White Race appearing in the nation’s top 30, the Vols tallied 638 points to wind up 26th of the 36 teams running at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course. No. 16 Oklahoma put together the best effort to claim the team title, accumulating 106 points to hold off runner-up No. 19 BYU (138). Competing on the NCAA Championships course, Spooner crossed the finish line 72nd out of 241 runners in 24 minutes, 48.7 seconds in his third try on this trail. Rapp was a little more than 11 seconds behind Spooner, checking in 98th in 24:59.9 in his fourth appearance at this meet. UT’s final three scoring runners included Bodary (109th, 25:07.1) and Gilmartin (176th, 25:51.4) and Rainey (183rd, 25:56.8). The SEC Championships were next, as Fort Jackson in Columbia, S.C., served as the locale on Nov. 1. Following a familiar formula, the Big Orange pursued the lead of Spooner for the fourth time in 2010 en route Chris Rapp bounced back from injury in 2009 to score in Tennessee’s to a fourth-place league team final five races in 2010, including running second for the Volunteers finish. at the SEC meet. For the Vols, the coaches’ preseason pick to tie for fifth, it marked the best finish at this meet since also taking fourth in 2007. Arkansas claimed its 18th SEC crown with 34 points, followed by Alabama (62) and Florida (69). The Big Orange accumulated 132 points to improve two spots from 2009. “I thought we ran our best race of the season,” Watts said. “It’s the SEC Championship, and we had a goal of finishing in the top four. We did it, and I am very pleased with that.” Earning All-SEC Second Team status for the third straight season, Spooner covered the 8,000-meter Hilton Field Course in 24 minutes, 27.17 seconds. Despite windy conditions, the UT captain matched his 11th-place league finish of 2009. The most recent Vols to collect three or more All-SEC nods were Tony Cosey, four times from 1992 to 1995, and Stewart Ellington, 1993 to 1995. For the second straight meet, Rapp ran in the No. 2 position for the Vols. After redshirting last season due to injury, he turned in a career-best 26th-place overall SEC finish (25th scorer) in 25:10.19. Bodary, meanwhile, was five places behind Rapp in 31st (30th) at 25:24.24. Tennessee’s final two scorers earned SEC All-Freshman Team accolades. Rainey was his team’s fourth man, covering the rolling course in 25:30.42, while Tobin navigated the four-loop layout in a personal-best 25:33.77. At the NCAA South Regional on Nov. 13, Spooner raced to an 11th-place showing and led UT to a fourth-place finish at Veterans Park in Hoover, Ala. The Vols’ captain, who posted the best regional outcome by a UT man since Zach Sabatino took third in 2005, covered the 10,000-meter course in a personal-best 30 minutes, 27.24 seconds to card his best individual placing at this meet en route to the third All-South Region nod of his career. Chipping in to help Tennessee achieve its best region finish since also taking fourth in 2006 was Bodary, who joined Spooner on the 25-member All-South Region squad with a 23rd-place (22nd scorer) effort in a personal-record time of 30:55.41 in his third regional meet appearance. Rapp was 10 runners behind in 33rd (30th), navigating the layout in a career-best 31:31.14 as the Big Orange’s third scorer in the 147-runner field. Rainey and Tobin filled the same team roles they held at the SEC meet two weeks ago, both charting PRs. Rainey ran fourth for Tennessee and placed 43rd (37th) in 31:50.20, while Tobin was 62nd (51st) in 32:23.96. While the rest of the team’s season was complete, Spooner’s was extended one more meet, as he qualified as an at-large competitor for the NCAA Championships in Terre Haute on Nov. 21. Running in winds gusting as high as 32 miles per hour, the Vol captain finished in 125th place at the national meet. Spooner, the Vols’ first NCAA qualifier since Zach Sabatino in 2005, covered the 10,000-meter LaVern Gibson Championship Course in 31 minutes, 23.8 seconds to cross the line just about halfway through a 246-runner field. “He came a long way from his freshman year to earn the accolades he did and to qualify for the NCAA Championships,” Watts said. “That’s a pretty darn good career, and it puts him right up there with a lot of fine runners who’ve come through the University of Tennessee.

2010 lady vol season in review Bend Cross Country Course in Chattanooga. The Lady Vols placed fourth out of seven teams on the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s home course, tallying 83 points. Samford captured the title with 34 points, followed by the hosts with 46. Junior Chanelle Price made her season debut and wasted no time in moving to the front of the pack for Tennessee. The product of Easton, Pa., covered the twomile course in 11 minutes, 37 seconds to place 10th (ninth scorer) of 59 runners. Zimmerman, who had set the pace for Lady Vols in their first three races, was right with Price at the line, finishing with an identical time but placing 11th (10th). Fondren contributed to the scoring cause for the fourth time in 2010, covering the course in 11:46 to place 19th (18th) overall and third for the Lady Vols. A pair of juniors round- Elizabeth Tiller’s junior season saw her step up and contribute to the team’s point total in all six meets and run personal records at ed out Tennessee’s scoring. every distance. Altizer was 22nd (21st) in 11:57, while Tiller was 26th (25th) in 12:14. The bright spot in Chattanooga was followed by disappointment in Columbia, S.C., two weekends later, as the Lady Vols reported in with a 12th-place finish at the Southeastern Conference Championships. Having placed in the top three every season since 2000, including a threeyear spree of SEC crowns from 2003 to 2005, it was an especially tough pill to swallow for the Big Orange. The Lady Vols tallied 326 points to finish well back of 11th-place LSU (279). Florida scored 60 points to edge Arkansas (61) for its second-straight trophy. If there was a high point for Tennessee, it came in the form of Zimmerman, who paced the team for the fourth time in five races, covering the 6,000-meter Hilton Field Course at Fort Jackson in a career-best 22:15.91 seconds to cross the line 42nd overall (41st scorer). As the eighth rookie finisher in the field, she just missed making the seven-member SEC All-Freshman Team. Price was UT’s second finisher, crossing the line 72nd (64th) in 23:07.35, followed by Colvin in 86th (72nd) at 23:38.20, Altizer in 87th (73rd) at 23:45.07, Tiller in 89th (75th) at 23:49.14, Ferri in 93rd (79th) at 24:12.06, Fondren in 95th (80th) at 24:22.49 and sophomore Kelsey Kane in 96th at 24:28.20. Clark’s crew closed out the year at the NCAA South Regional in Hoover, Ala., and for the fifth time in six races, Zimmerman was up top for UT. This time, she checked in 46th of 186 runners as her squad finished 18th at Veterans Park. Zimmerman handled the 6,000-meter course in a career-topping readout of 21 minutes, 33.01 seconds to help UT tally 489 points. Florida State captured the team crown with 24 points, followed by Florida (67) and Vanderbilt (102). Contributing to the cause for the Big Orange were Price, who was 91st (85th) in 22:24.36; Tiller, who was 124th (115th) in a career-best 22:59.39; Colvin, who was 129th (120th) at 23:04.21; and Altizer, who placed 137th (127th) in 23:15.61. Running but not scoring were Ferri (147th/136th, 23:33.84) and Fondren (152nd/141st, 23:37.62). Ferri’s time was a personal record. “As a team, we put a better effort together at the NCAA South Regional than we did last time out at the SEC Championships,” Clark said. “Most importantly, everyone came out of it healthy.” Of course, having Sheffey and Moore available in 2010 and running with a completely-healthy Price, things would have been measurably different. Clark, though, understands that sometimes things just don’t go a team’s way. “We’ve definitely had a rebuilding year and struggled this season,” Clark said. “We’ve had our bumps and bruises this year, but things happen. I look forward to next season having a better squad out there and getting things done.”

PREVIEW
The 2010 season was a difficult one for the Tennessee women’s cross country team, as injuries and depth issues led to some results that are atypical of J.J. Clark-coached squads. Rookie Amber Zimmerman, however, provided a silver lining for Team Orange by demonstrating consistency and leading the team to the finish line in five of six races during the year. The freshman from Knoxville didn’t let her youth and inexperience at the college level prevent her from moving to the front of the pack early on. In her first race as a Lady Vol, at the Belmont-VU Opener in Nashville on Sept. 3, she led her squad to the finish line and placed 35th (32nd scorer) on the 4,000-meter trail at Percy Warner Park in 15 minutes, 25.47 seconds. Zimmerman’s effort helped Tennessee place seventh out of 12 teams with 201 points. Vanderbilt easily took top honors with 27 points, followed by Western Kentucky (59) and Alabama (65). With Clark sitting veterans Brittany Sheffey and Chanelle Price, as well as the rest of his newcomers, Tennessee’s next finisher was junior Elizabeth Tiller in 44th position (34th scorer) at 15:37.09. Also among the top five were sophomores Ramzee Fondren (48th [37th], 15:41.45), Ally Colvin (62nd [45th], 15:57.55) and Andrea Ferri (80th [53rd], 16:23.85). By two meets into her rookie season, on Sept. 18, Zimmerman had established a routine. The newcomer paced UT once again at the Commodore Classic, finishing 17th out of 127 runners in the Music City. After leading the team at the opener 15 days earlier, Zimmerman this time covered Warner Park’s 5,000-meter course in 18 minutes, 57.44 seconds to help the Big Orange women to a sixth-place finish out of 16 schools with 177 points. Host Vanderbilt ran away with the team title, accumulating 21 points to out-distance runner-up Lipscomb (54). Fondren was the Lady Vols’ number-two runner, posting her highest-ever team scoring role by placing 37th overall (scoring 34th) in 19:40.86. Tiller turned in another solid outing, navigating the course in a career-best 19:42.54 to wind up 38th (35th) overall as UT’s third scorer. Also contributing to the final tally were Colvin and junior Elizabeth Altizer, who placed 57th (45th) and 59th (46th) in 20:07.57 and 20:10.14, respectively. UT’s only other competitor was Ferri, who came in 65th in 20:24.06. Zimmerman set the tone again in meet number three, but it wasn’t enough to salvage a tough outing for the club from Rocky Top on Oct. 1. The UT women, therefore, struggled to a 38th-place finish out of 41 teams at the rain-soaked Brooks Paul Short Run in Bethlehem, Pa. The Lady Vols, who navigated Lehigh University’s 6,000-meter Goodman Campus Course on the heels of an eight-inch rain event in the area, tallied 1,127 points. No. 6 Georgetown claimed the title with 34 points, followed by No. 16 Virginia (98), James Madison (169), Cornell (198) and Columbia (205) rounding out the top five. For the third straight meet, Zimmerman was out front for UT, covering the distance in 22 minutes, 36 seconds to place 152nd and score in 142nd position. Also contributing to the cause for Tennessee were Colvin in 246th (220th) at 23:24, Tiller in 286th (245th) at 23:46, Ferri in 303rd (252nd) at 23:58 and Fondren in 336th (268th) at 24:41. Altizer ran but did not count in the team score, finishing 342nd (271st) in 24:58. “We’re a little shorthanded right now and missing some key players,” Clark explained afterward. “We’re looking forward to inserting them (Brittany Sheffey, Chanelle Price, Erica Moore) within the next two meets. We’ll continue to move forward and look for improvement in the coming weeks.” On Oct. 16, the Big Orange women fashioned their finest finish of the 2010 season, taking fourth As a rookie in 2010, Amber Zimmerman led Tennessee to the place at the Front Runner finish line in five of six races and just missed earning SEC AllInvitational at Moccasin Freshman honors.

AMBER ZIMMERMAN: SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll (July 14)
SOUTHEASTERN
CONFERENCE
the southeastern conference “THE STANDARD FOR EXCELLENCE” The Southeastern Conference, with its storied 78-year history of athletic achievements and academic excellence, has built perhaps the greatest tradition of intercollegiate competition of any league in the country since its inception in 1933. The 2010-11 academic year was another season to remember for the SEC, as conference teams captured five national titles and three national runner-up finishes. The SEC has won consecutive national championships in baseball, football and men’s indoor track & field. Since 1990, the SEC has won 140 national team championships for an average of more than six per year. Auburn won the SEC’s first national title of the year with its victory over Oregon in the BCS National Championship Game in football. It is the SEC’s fifth consecutive football national title. Florida won its second consecutive national title in men’s indoor track & field, while the Gators’ women’s tennis team also captured the national championship. Alabama won its fifth gymnastics national title, and South Carolina won its second consecutive national championship in baseball. Florida finished first among Southeastern Conference schools and fourth overall in the Director’s Cup final standings. Overall, the SEC finished in the top two in eight of its 20 sponsored sports and in the top five in 14 of the 20 sports. Ten SEC teams participated in football postseason bowls with Auburn, LSU, Mississippi State, Alabama and Florida winning the BCS National Title Game, Cotton, Gator, Capital One and Outback bowls, respectively. Five men’s basketball teams were invited to the NCAA Tournament, and four women’s basketball teams were also invited to the NCAA Tournament. The SEC had seven teams advance to postseason play in baseball, hosting three regionals, with South Carolina, Florida and Vanderbilt advancing to the College World Series. With 139 teams advancing to NCAA postseason competition, the SEC continued to solidify its place as the nation’s premier conference. In addition to the four team championships, 39 SEC studentathletes garnered individual national championships, while 367 individuals were awarded with first-team All-America honors. Student-athletes around the league continued to excel in the classroom, as well, with more than 2,300 earning recognition on the SEC Academic Honor Roll.

LSU placed 19th, while Georgia was 20th. Tennessee finished 22nd, Arkansas 24th, Alabama 25th, Auburn 31st, Kentucky 36th and South Carolina 39th to round out the league’s top-40 finishes.

The Ancients Few programs are as richly blessed with tradition as Tennessee. The men who made that tradition possible continue to grace the program with their unwavering support. The self-proclaimed “Ancients” are a group of former Vols brought back to the The Hill by the friendships developed at UT and their love for the program they helped create. The group draws its membership from Vols who competed in the late 1940s and early ‘50s. “This group has stayed together through friendship and commitment,” said Ancients member Frank Albertson, a three-time Vols letterwinner and the 1952 SEC cross country champion. “We are bonded through UT and track, but it is the friendships that have allowed us to stay together and keep in touch.” The Ancients have remained friends and supporters of UT for more than 50 years. The group gathers for a major meeting every other year, although smaller gatherings are also frequently put together. The Ancients have established the Alf Holmberg Scholarship in honor of the UT group member and the school’s first cross country All-American.

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME The University of Tennessee, as the state’s land grant university, draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers/Lady Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state. Tennessee acquired the name “The Volunteer State” in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans. The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V. Brown issued a call for 2,800 men to battle Santa Anna, and some 30,000 volunteered. The formation of the Women’s Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discussion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes. After long consideration and debate, it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as “Lady Volunteers.” The names “Volunteers” and “Lady Volunteers” are frequently shortened to “Vols” and “Lady Vols.” MASCOT The official mascot is Smokey, a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953. The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons. The present Smokey, the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the family of the late Rev. W.C. Brooks of Knoxville, is appropriately called Smokey IX. Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot. At UT athletic events, a human mascot version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders. SCHOOL COLORS The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore, a member of the first football team in 1891, and were later approved by a vote of the student body. The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profusion on “The Hill.” UNIVERSITY Seal The official university seal had its beginnings in the 1800s and has taken several forms over the years. The seal has included imagery representing enlightenment, peace and science, as well as the words “agriculture” and “commerce.”
“The Strip” Cumberland Avenue was one of the original Knoxville streets surveyed and platted by Charles McClung in 1791. Through the years, “The Strip” has been home to filling stations, grocery stores, clothiers, restaurants, clubs, drugstores and other neighborhood enterprises. ROCKY TOP Felice and Boudleaux Bryant’s “Rocky Top,” — written in 10 minutes at the Gatlinburg Inn in 1967 — has captured the fancy of Tennessee fans everywhere and is a much-requested and often-played song at UT sporting events. It was first performed as part of a halftime country music show at the 1972 TennesseeAlabama football game.
Wish that I was on ol’ ROCKY TOP, Down in the Tennessee hills; Ain’t no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP, Ain’t no telephone bills. Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP, Half bear, other half cat; Wild as mink, but sweet as soda pop, I still dream about that.
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP, you’ll always be Home sweet home to me; Good ol’ ROCKY TOP- ROCKY TOP Tennessee.
The Volunteer Statue The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service, the statue was cast, placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19, 1968.
“The Hill” “The Hill,” the original part of the campus, is symbolic of higher education in the state of Tennessee.

UT ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT compliance STATEMENT Compliance with NCAA rules is one of the highest priorities for the University of Tennessee and our athletics department. As a member of the NCAA, the University of Tennessee is responsible for the actions of its boosters and fans. Even the best intentions may violate NCAA rules. We need your help in observing all SEC and NCAA regulations. Boosters and fans must be careful of their interaction with prospective and current student-athletes. Therefore, we encourage our boosters and fans to “Ask Before You Act” by contacting the Compliance Office staff. representatives of athletics interests, boosters There are many ways an individual can be classified as a representative of Tennessee’s athletics interests. You are a “representative of The University of Tennessee’s athletics interests,” if you have been involved in a booster club, made financial contributions to the athletics program or booster organizations; provided benefits to an enrolled student-athlete; assisted in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes, or been involved in the promotion of UT Athletics. Please note that once you have been identified as a representative of University of Tennessee athletics interests, you retain that identity indefinitely. recruiting, extra benefits and inducements Only coaches and athletics department staff members can be involved in the recruiting process. All “athletics representatives” who are not employees of UT are prohibited from contacting a prospect by telephone, letter or in-person, on- or offcampus, for the purpose of encouraging participation in athletics at UT. It is not permissible for prospects, student-athletes or their relatives and friends to receive any extra benefits or special arrangements from a booster.

“The Rock” Unearthed in the 1960s, “The Rock” soon thereafter became a “canvas” for student messages. For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to students’ public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd. and Pat Head Summitt Street.

Once two strangers climbed ol’ ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still; Strangers ain’t come down from ROCKY TOP, Reckon they never will. Corn won’t grow at all on ROCKY TOP, Dirt’s too rocky by far; That’s why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar.
providing gifts of any kind (e.g. clothing, airline tickets, or holiday cards); providing special discounts for goods and services; use of an automobile. If you are an established friend or neighbor of a prospect, you may have contact with the prospect provided you do not try to recruit the prospect on behalf of UT, and that such contacts are not made at the direction of UT’s coaching staff. Please note that a prospect is a person who has started classes for the ninth grade. employment The Compliance Office must keep written records verifying all student-athlete employment. NCAA rules stipulate that compensation may be paid to a studentathlete only for work actually performed and at a rate commensurate with the going rate in that locality for similar service. NCAA rules also prohibit employers from using the name or picture of a student-athlete to directly or indirectly advertise, recommend or promote the sale or use of a commercial product or service of any kind. Do not provide an honorarium to a student-athlete for a speaking engagement. Compensation may not include any remuneration for value or utility that the studentathlete may have for the employer because of publicity, reputation, fame or personal following that he or she has obtained because of athletics ability. remember: “play by the rules” tennessee athletics compliance (865) 974-3871 www.VolsPlayByTheRules.com
HOME COURSE
& RECORDS
the lambert acres course
For the 14th season, the scenic Lambert Acres Golf Club in Maryville, Tenn., will serve as the home course for the Tennessee cross country teams. A 27-hole golf course, Lambert Acres is nestled in the foothills of the breathtaking Great Smoky Mountains and boasts 9,525 yards of rolling hills with sloping grades throughout the entire layout. The Big Orange men have hosted 14 meets at Lambert Acres dating back to the 1998 season. In addition to playing host to the Tennessee Invitational 10 times and the NCAA South Regional in 2002, 2006 and 2008, the Vols also welcomed the rest of the Southeastern Conference for the 1998 SEC Championships. It was at that meet that Michael Power of Arkansas set the 8K course record with a 23:55.79 pace en route to victory. Also in that meet, Doug Ellington posted the course record among UT athletes at 24:14.24. With three 10K races having been contested at Lambert Acres, all of them NCAA South Regional competitions, Barnabus Kirui of Mississippi owns the course record at that distance with a 30:43.10 readout. Jeff Day holds the Tennessee standard at 32:01.6. The Lady Vols have competed in 13 official meets at Lambert Acres since 1998. In addition to playing co-host to the Tennessee Invitational nine times and the NCAA South Regional in 2002, 2006 and 2008, the Orange and White also hosted the Southeastern Conference Championships in 1998. At that meet, Amy Yoder of Arkansas set the 5K course record with a 16:52.22 pace en route to victory. Brooke Novak holds the top UT women’s
5K mark, claiming the Tennessee Invitational crown with a time of 17:16.96 in 2004. Auburn’s Hollie Knight posted the course’s 6K standard of 20:29.67 at the 2008 NCAA South Regional, while Lady Vol Sarah Bowman was the runner-up in 20:50.29 for the No. 2 all-time Lambert Acres mark and best by a UT woman. In 2009 and 2010, the Lady Vols and Vols did not make an appearance at the Maryville course, but they resume competing there in 2011. UT will hold the Tennessee Invitational on Sept. 17 and later reconvene at the course for the SEC Championships on Oct. 31. The Volunteer men have claimed victory four times at the Tennessee Invitational. The men in orange seized titles in 1998, 1999, 2002 and 2005. Individually, Anthony Famiglietti (1999), Tim Kelly (2002) and Zach Sabatino (2005) crossed the finish line first during their stints at Rocky Top. The Big Orange women won the Tennessee Invitational in 1998, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2008, and tied for the title in 1999. Maureen Ferris (1998), Sharon Dickie (2000, 2002), Brooke Novak (2004) and Sarah Bowman (2005, 2008) each legged out individual titles for the Lady Vols during their respective careers. In addition to the downgrading of the Tennessee Invitational women’s race in 2007 to a time trial, no home meets were held in 2001, 2009 and 2010.
