Strength & Conditioning UTSA student-athletes are running faster and getting stronger thanks to a commitment to an enhanced strength and conditioning program and a new weight room.
Mission Statement
The UTSA Strength & Conditioning Department provides athletes the means by which they can train consistently, sensibly and systematically over designated periods of time in a safe, clean and professional environment to help prevent injury and improve athletics performance.
Philosophy
The philosophy of the University of Texas at San Antonio strength & conditioning program adheres strictly to the three proven scientific principles of adaptation … Specificity The transfer of a training adaptation to a gain in competition performance. Overload Adaptation takes place when the magnitude of training is greater than normal and is achieved by prescribing the correct number of sets, repetitions and intensity of effort. The primary focus is the muscular and energy systems’ adaptation to overload. Periodization Training phases must be planned so that speed, agility, power and endurance will peak during the most important competitions.

Conference USA celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2014-15, welcoming newcomer Western Kentucky into the fold on July 1. The league has transformed through its two decades, but the commitment to excellence, integrity, leadership and its student athletes in athletics, academics and community is unwavering. Conference USA enjoys a far-reaching fan base with its 14 members: Charlotte, FIU, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Marshall, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion, Rice, Southern Miss, UAB, UTEP, UTSA and Western Kentucky. Since beginning competition in 1995, Conference USA teams have combined for 83 bowl appearances in football, 100 NCAA Tournament appearances in basketball including three Final Fours, 60 NCAA baseball appearances including six College World Series berths, 71 NCAA soccer tournament appearances including four trips to the College Cup, and 35 individual national champions in track and field and cross country. Success is not limited to athletic achievement, however, as 186 Conference USA studentathletes have garnered Academic AllAmerica honors, 651 have achieved academic all-district laurels and thousands of student-athletes have earned their college degrees. Conference USA sponsors competition in 19 sports – nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field) and 10 for women (basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball). The league promotes the scholar-athlete ideal, honoring outstanding achievement with numerous conference-sponsored academic awards, including the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Commissioner’s Academic Medal as well as sport-specific All-Academic teams. C-USA annually awards $4,000 postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Awards, Scholar-Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award. Additionally, Conference USA presents a Spirit of Service Award three times each year, recognizing student-athletes who excel on the field, in the classroom and give back to the community through significant service efforts and participation.
SUCCESS ON THE PLAYING FIELD Conference USA performers have achieved great success in competition, placing the league among the top conferences in the nation. The league has had 35 national champions in NCAA track and field competition, one national champion in diving, and numerous NCAA individual and team competitors in cross country, golf, swimming, tennis, and track and field. Overall, Conference USA teams and individuals have made more than 800 NCAA appearances.
C-USA IN THE COMMUNITY The conference’s current footprint is concentrated with 14 members in 10 states and a combined area population of nearly 30 million. With a commitment to community involvement, the conference developed several initiatives to maintain strong ties in C-USA cities, as well as with fans and alumni across the country. C-USA schools also place a priority on giving back to their communities through volunteer service with local and national organizations. Individually, studentathletes are recognized each season through the Spirit of Service award.
SUCCESS OFF THE FIELD C-USA institutions are among the nation’s best in academic performance of student-athletes, bolstered by the fact that student-athletes at league schools have a higher graduation rate than the general student population. Among C-USA’s 5,000 student-athletes, there are champions off the playing field as well. In 19 years, more than 28,000 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll or received the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom.
GOVERNANCE Conference USA has significant representation in the NCAA governance structure. The presidents of the member institutions serve as the league’s Board of Directors.
C-USA ON TV C-USA enjoys significant television exposure through partnerships with FOX Sports Media Group, CBS Sports Network and ESPN. The multi-tiered selection process that is rooted in partnering with all three networks has substantially increased the number of national and regional appearances for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and all other conference sports. C-USA membership include institutions within eight of the Top 40 media markets and four in the Top 25 according to Nielsen. C-USA home markets this year will include more than 13 million TV households, a 30 percent increase from two years ago. C-USA DIGITAL NETWORK The C-USA Digital Network officially launched in August of 2011. Network programming includes live streaming of nontelevised events, video on demand, a weekly C-USA studio show, podcasting, regularseason and championship event highlights, and conference-produced feature stories. In its first year, 1,164 events were streamed live and 8,126 videos were posted and available on the C-USA Digital Network, and those numbers have more than doubled. Monthly and yearly subscriptions provide fans access to events offered on all of the C-USA member institution’s athletic websites as well as C-USA network programming.
A PROUD HISTORY Conference USA was formed in 1995 and quickly emerged as one of the nation’s top conferences. The conference unveiled its name, logo and commissioner April 24, 1995, in Chicago. The league’s charter members included Charlotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996. The league’s headquarters were established in Chicago and, after nine years, relocated to the current office in Irving, Texas. Britton Banowsky was named Commissioner in October 2002, succeeding Mike Slive, the league’s first commissioner. C-USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league competition in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began football play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001. USF started C-USA football in 2003. Marshall, Rice, SMU, Tulsa, UCF and UTEP became full-time Conference USA members for all sports in 2005. In 2013, charter member Charlotte returned to C-USA and was joined by new members FIU, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion and UTSA. The membership is at 14 institutions with WKU joining the league on July 1, 2014.

Carrie Parnaby Head Coach Seventh Season Tennessee ‘03
T
wo-time conference coach of the year Carrie Parnaby is in her seventh season at the helm of the UTSA women’s golf program. Since her hire in 2008, she steadily has transformed the Roadrunners into annual contender for conference championships and NCAA postseason appearances. From the beginning, Parnaby installed a new approach to the game from a mental and physical standpoint. Her philosophy has produced seven team titles, including back-to-back Southland Conference Championships in 2011-12, five runner-up showings and a total of 30 top-five finishes. UTSA advanced to three straight NCAA Regionals in 2011-13, including the school’s first-ever atlarge bid in 2013, while also sending an individual — Fabiola Arriaga — to the 2014 NCAA West Regional. Parnaby has guided the Roadrunners to 10 individual wins, which includes two Southland Champions in Allie Jordan in 2009 and Shannon Jungman in 2012 and Arriaga, the 2014 Conference USA Champion. She has coached the Roadrunners to 22 allconference certificates, including nine first-team selections, and a pair of Southland Golfers of the Year in Fabiola Arriaga (2012) and Paola Valerio (2011). Additionally, the Roadrunners have improved their scoring average versus par by 17 strokes since her arrival and they have finished in the top 60 of the Golfstat National Rankings in each of the past four seasons, including a program-record 47th in 2011. In addition to her players’ success on the course, several have earned accolades for their work in the classroom. Five have been named to conference all-academic teams, Paola Valerio was recognized as an Academic AllDistrict selection in 2011 and Bruna Spengler (2010) and Taylor Newlin (2013, ‘14) were named to the Women’s Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar Team. Additionally, UTSA was recognized by the NCAA with a Public Recognition Award in 2013 for its outstanding multi-year Academic Progress Rate (APR). The Roadrunners have recorded an APR score of 985 or higher in
each of the last four years to rank among the top 10 percent of all Division I women’s golf programs. UTSA registered three top-five finishes in 2013-14, including a runner-up showing at its first-ever Conference USA Championship last April. Led by Arriaga’s league-record-tying and UTSA-record 9-under-par 207 (68-69-70), the Roadrunners carded an 866 to take second place. UTSA also set a pair of school records at The Alamo Invitational in October. Led by Newlin’s seventh-place and career-best 213 (69-70-74), the Roadrunners set program standards for low 36- and 54-hole totals with a 5-under 571 and 4-under 860, respectively, en route to a fifth-place showing in a field that included 10 nationally-ranked teams. UTSA established a program record for team scoring average (298.64) and finished 57th in the final Golfstat rankings. Arriaga advanced to the NCAA West Regional as an individual to cap a career that saw her set UTSA records for single-season (73.75) and career (74.97) scoring averages. She also became the first Roadrunner to collect first-team all-conference honors in all four seasons when she was named to the C-USA First Team, while Newlin and Brogan Townend both were picked for the third squad. Parnaby’s fifth season saw the program establish yet another program first, as the Roadrunners earned the school’s first at-large bid to the NCAA postseason by any sport when they were selected to compete in the NCAA Central Regional in Norman, Okla. UTSA finished 17th at the tournament and registered their second straight top50 final national ranking (No. 50) after climbing as high as 41st during the campaign. The team matched a school record for low round with a five-underpar 283 at The Alamo Invitational en route to a then-school-standard for 54 holes with an 863 to tie for third place. The Roadrunners posted three topfive finishes, including fourth in their first and only season in the Western Athletic Conference. Three Roadrunners were named allconference, including a third straight first-team all-league selection for Arriaga.

The Roadrunners re-wrote the record books in 2011-12, as they won four tournaments — surpassing the program’s total number of triumphs in its first six years combined — placed four players on the AllSouthland teams and collected their second consecutive Southland Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance. UTSA won its home tournament, The Alamo Invitational, for the first time by topping No. 17 Texas A&M and No. 23 Baylor thanks, in part, to Arriaga’s winning score of three-under-par 213 (69-72-72). Summer Batiste and Newlin shared individual medalist honors while guiding UTSA to the Islanders Classic crown and Arriaga and Jungman led the charge in a victory at the Insperity Lady Jaguar Intercollegiate. UTSA carried its momentum into the Southland Championship and walked away with its second title, this time by five strokes over tournament host Texas State. Jungman led the way with a careerbest 217 (70-73-74) to claim the school’s second individual conference championship. The Roadrunners capped the season with a 20th-place showing at the NCAA Central Regional in Columbus, Ohio.

Lynn Hickey Director of Athletics Lynn Hickey has made student-athlete welfare one of her top priorities while leading the UTSA Athletics Department to new heights. Under Hickey’s direction since 2000, UTSA has captured three conference commissioner’s cups and a pair of league all-sports trophies while consistently winning both team and individual academic and athletics awards in all 17 sports sponsored by the university. One of Hickey’s dreams to lead UTSA to the upper echelon of Division I Athletics was realized on Nov. 11, 2010, when the university received and accepted an invitation to join the Western Athletic Conference (WAC). The department claimed the 2012-13 WAC Commissioner’s Cup on the strength of league championships by the men’s indoor track & field and baseball teams in its first and only year in the conference. Hickey’s long-term goal of placing UTSA in a major conference was reached when Conference USA extended an invitation on May 4, 2012. The Roadrunners moved all 17 sports into that league on July 1, 2013. Hickey has overseen the addition of three sports during her tenure. Women’s golf and women’s soccer were added in 2005 and 2006, respectively, and both programs have emerged as annual league championship contenders. On Dec. 18, 2008, UTSA’s Athletics Initiative Business Plan was approved by the UT System Board of Regents, granting permission to start a football program. Hickey made a splash with the hiring of the first-ever head football coach, as two-time National Coach of the Year Larry Coker was introduced on March 6, 2009. The program kicked off its first season against Northeastern State on Sept. 3, 2011, to resounding success. The Roadrunners set NCAA start-up program records for inaugural game (56,743) and average home attendance (35,521) in six contests at the 65,000-seat Alamodome. In year two, UTSA posted an 8-4 overall record and finished fourth in the WAC with a 3-3 mark while averaging more than 29,000 fans. The third season saw the football team post a 7-5 overall record and finish second in the West Division of C-USA with a 6-2 mark while again topping the 29,000-mark in average home attendance. The 2010-11 academic year will go down in history as arguably the most successful in school annals, as the Roadrunners claimed the Southland Commissioner’s Cup and Women’s All-Sports Trophy, five championships and the first-ever NCAA postseason victory. UTSA followed that with four more league titles during the 2011-12 campaign, closing out two decades in the Southland with 58 team championships, a pair of Commissioner’s Cups and two All-Sports Trophies. Hickey has led the charge for UTSA and its hosting of numerous NCAA Championship events. Since her arrival on campus, UTSA has served as host institution for the 2001 NCAA Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional, 2002 Women’s Final Four, 2003 Men’s Basketball South Regional, 2004 Men’s Final Four, 2005 Women’s Volleyball Championship, 2006 Women’s Basketball South Regional, 2007 Men’s Basketball South Regional, 2008 Men’s Final Four, 2010 Women’s Final Four, 2011 Men’s Basketball Southwest Regional, 2011 Women’s Volleyball Championship, 2014 Men’s Basketball Second & Third Rounds, 2014 Men’s Golf San Antonio Regional and 2015 Women’s Golf Central Regional. In November 2013, the NCAA announced that UTSA once again will serve as the host institution for the Men’s Final Four, this time in 2018. In 2007, Hickey was named to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, one of the most prestigious appointments in all of collegiate athletics. The 10-member committee oversees administration
of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship, including the selection and seeding of teams for the tournament. Hickey, whose five-year term expired in 2012, became just the second female ever selected to the committee, joining Charlotte Athletics Director Judy Rose, who served from 1999-2003. Hickey has been honored nationally and locally for her hard work at UTSA. She was named the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators 2005 Division I-AAA Administrator of the Year. Hickey earned her second national award in June 2006 as the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics/ GeneralSports TURF Systems Division I-AAA West Region AD of the Year. The San Antonio Express-News tabbed her as its 2010 Sportswoman of the Year and she also was selected to and completed the Masters Leadership Program of San Antonio and Bexar County. In September 2011, she received the ATHENA Leadership from the North San Antonio Chamber of Commerce. Hickey also was selected as National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators President-Elect and Executive Committee member for 2014-15. “UTSA is very fortunate to have an athletic leader with both the administrative and coaching experience of Lynn Hickey,” UTSA President Dr. Ricardo Romo said. “Lynn not only is a leader who can take our athletic program to the next level, but she is also well respected nationally and serves as an excellent role model for all student-athletes at this university.” In serving as the fourth athletics director in UTSA history, Hickey assumed the lead athletics role at one of the youngest NCAA Division I universities in the country (UTSA began athletics competition in 1981). The only female Division I athletics director that oversees both men’s and women’s sports in the state of Texas, she served as President of the Southland from 2002-04 and as the league’s representative to the NCAA Championship/Competition Cabinet. Hickey also was a member of the Women’s Basketball Rules Committee from 2003-06, spending the last two years as chair. Hickey came to San Antonio from Texas A&M University, where she served as senior associate athletics director/senior woman administrator from 1994-2000. At Texas A&M, her responsibilities included event management and marketing and promotions for 16 of the university’s 19 Division I sports. She also represented the Big 12 Conference as a member of the NCAA Championship Cabinet. From 1984-94, Hickey served as head women’s basketball coach for Texas A&M. She directed the 1993-94 Aggies basketball team to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16, becoming the lowest-seeded team to ever reach that milestone. Texas A&M finished the year ranked No. 19 in the CNN/USA Today Top 25 poll. Following the season, Hickey relinquished her coaching duties to accept the promotion to senior associate athletics director. She finished her coaching career with an overall mark of 279-167 in 15 years of collegiate coaching. Before her stint at A&M, Hickey was head women’s basketball coach at Kansas State University from 1979-84. She averaged more than 23 wins per season in posting a 125-39 (.762) record over five years and led the Wildcats to five consecutive national tournament berths. She was inducted into the Kansas State Athletics Hall of Fame in September 2004. A native of Welch, Okla., Hickey graduated summa cum laude from Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Ark., with a bachelor’s degree in education. She was an All-American for OBU’s nationally-ranked basketball team and a member of the USA National Team in 1973. Hickey and her husband, Bill, have a daughter, Lauren Nicole.

Jordan became the first golfer in the program’s history to collect a Southland Conference Championship. The Monahans native turned in a scorecard of 73-7673—222 to capture the title by two strokes over Lacy McKinley from McNeese State and Ashley Watkins from Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
Jungman earned the program’s second individual conference title in 2012 after leading the Southland Championship from start to finish. The Pflugerville native carded a 7073-74—217 to win the crown by three strokes over teammate Fabiola Arriaga as UTSA won its second consecutive team championship.
Arriaga captured her first and the program’s third individual conference title when she fired a leaguerecord 68-69-70—207 to win the Conference USA Championship by four shots. Her recordsetting performance led UTSA to a runner-up finish in its first year in the C-USA.
