Respect. Defend. Own.
2016-17 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
The next chapter is about to begin. As WKU enters a new athletic season in 2016-17, it also enters a new era as an athletic program. Hilltopper student-athletes and staff made sure this new era begins with a heightened standard, following incredible freshman and sophomore seasons in Conference USA. WKU’s 14 combined championships are double the next closest member school over the past two seasons, and the standards for academic achievement have never been higher. Now it’s time to move forward with that momentum at our backs. Respect the past. Defend the present. Own the future. OWN THE FUTURE
Winning championships and graduating at a high level is nothing new. As Hilltoppers, it’s in our blood. Since 1958, WKU has won at least one conference championship - an incredible streak of 58 consecutive seasons.
With success comes the target. After a record-breaking campaign in 2014-15, in which WKU became the first Conference USA school to win eight championships and a bowl game, the Hilltoppers got everyone’s best shot in 2015-16, and they responded with six more championships and a secondconsecutive bowl victory.
WKU’s brand is constantly evolving. As more and more fans join the Hilltopper Nation, WKU must grow with them. In 2016-17, we will introduce a new look for WKU.
It is on the current Hilltoppers now to defend that legacy. We will keep the same sense of urgency to continue as an athletic and academic leader – not only in Conference USA, but in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Every program brings something valuable and unique to WKU, but we’re all intertwined by the belief that together, we can set the standard. That’s very much the spirit of our new look. No matter how you choose to display your pride, it will be synonymous with success in WKU’s past, present and future.

With that success, E.A. Diddle’s red towel has transformed from an interesting anecdote on the hardwood to a symbol of excellence, heritage and pride for all Hilltoppers.
What we have won, we have earned.
HISTORY
As we move forward, understanding where we came from is paramount to current and future success. The path for current Hilltoppers has been cleared by legends like Clem Haskins and Jim McDaniels in basketball, Jimmy Feix and Jack Harbaugh in football, and hundreds of others like Kenny Perry, Virgil Livers and Crystal Kelly.
The legendary red towel is here to stay, make no mistake about it. It will always be a part of those who represent the Hilltoppers, and those who came before them. But starting in 2016-17, fans will be able to express their support for Hilltopper basketball and football in the same way they support Lady Topper volleyball and basketball.

2016-17 Outlook 103 WINS AND COUNTING Now entering head coach Michelle ClarkHeard’s fifth season at the helm of the Lady Topper Basketball program, expectations are high for WKU to continue its ascent as a perennial power both within Conference USA and as a national power. WKU’s 57 wins over the last two seasons are its second-most in a two-year span in program history, trailing only the 60 games won by Final Four teams in 1984-85 and 1985-86. Under Clark-Heard, the Lady Toppers have won an astounding 103 games in four seasons, the most among C-USA teams since the 2012-13 campaign. The Lady Toppers will be seeking to return to the NCAA Tournament for the third time under Clark-Heard in 2016-17. After giving powerhouses Baylor and Texas scares in its first two trips, WKU will look to claim its first NCAA Tournament victory since downing Marquette, 68-65, in the opening round on March 18, 2000. WKU will also look to continue two more impressive streaks in the 2016-17 season. The Lady

Toppers are one of just nine Division I program in the nation with a 10-game winning streak in each of the last three seasons, joining teams such as UConn, South Carolina, Maryland and Notre Dame in that category. The Lady Toppers have also won an in-season tournament in each of Clark-Heard’s four years with the team. In 2012-13, the team claimed the Wright State Invitational before adding the Puerto Rico Classic (2013-14), the Hofstra Thanksgiving Tournament (2014-15) and last year’s GCI Great Alaska Shootout. In addition to returning their top six scorers from the 2015-16 season, the Lady Toppers will welcome five new faces to the program in 2016-17. The Kentucky freshman trio of Whitney Creech, Sarah Price and Malaka Frank join the Lady Toppers after strong prep careers, while junior college transfer Naomi Mayes and Egyptian national Raneem Elgedawy round out the newcomers. University of Kentucky transfers Jaycee Coe and Kyvin Goodin-Rogers, who each joined the Lady Toppers last year, will also be eligible to compete. Coe can see playing time immediately for
2016-17 Outlook WKU, while Goodin-Rogers will be able to play following the end of the fall semester. Heading into 2016-17, WKU will look to continue building on the successful foundation that has been laid in the first four years under ClarkHeard. Kendall Noble, the reigning Conference USA Player and Defensive Player of the Year, returns for her senior season after collecting the program’s first two triple-doubles last season, the only Division I player in the nation to finish with a pair. Now in her fifth year with the program after redshirting due to injury in 2012-13, Noble will be counted on to serve as a strong presence both on and off the court through her skills and leadership. In addition to Noble, Micah Jones will also be back for her redshirt senior season after missing all but two contests due to a knee injury in 2015-16. Jones, who ranks ninth in program history with 142 three-pointers will offer options as both a point guard and as a dangerous outside shooter for the Lady Toppers.
Sophomores Kayla Smith, Dee Givens and Sidnee Bopp each had a strong impact on the program in their first year on The Hill. Smith saw action in 33 games with 31 starts, moving into the starting lineup immediately despite being a newcomer. Givens also played in all 34 games and was the leading scorer among freshmen at 5.8 points per game.

Junior forward Ivy Brown made huge strides in her sophomore season in 2015-16, becoming just the 14th player in program history to register 10 or more double-doubles in one season. A former Miss Kentucky Basketball, Brown will look to build on that momentum heading into the 2016-17 season.

The junior scored more than 30 points twice, including a career-best 34-point performance at Old Dominion on Feb. 18, and crossed the 20-point barrier 12 times during the 2015-16 season. Brown was named First Team All-C-USA for her efforts following the season.

Rounding out the 2016-17 senior class is Ima Akpan, who returns after appearing in all 34 games with four starts for WKU in 2015-16. A strong defender, the Calabar, Nigeria, native average 2.4 rebounds and constantly pressured opposing players in 12.5 minutes per game last season.

2016-17 Outlook Bopp will look to continue her momentum from a strong end to the 2015-16 season that saw her hit one of the biggest shots in recent memory for the Lady Toppers. Facing a one-point deficit with less than one second remaining in overtime, the Marmaduke, Ark., native connected a corner three-pointer at the buzzer to send WKU to the quarterfinals of the WNIT with a 78-76 win at Saint Louis on March 25. The mixture of veterans and new faces will give the Lady Toppers a new look during the 201617 season, but the goal ultimately remains the same for the program: to continue the same momentum that has carried the program on its high level of success over the last four seasons.

The freshman also led Jenkins to the 14th District championship game, the deepest postseason run in program history for the Lady Cavaliers. Malaka Frank of Frankfort, Ky., was tabbed the 11th Region Player of the Year as a senior and earned a spot alongside Creech and Price on the 2016 Kentucky All-Star Team, the first time since 2012 that the Lady Toppers had three committed players in the game. Sarah Price rounds out the 2016-17 freshman class, joining the Lady Toppers from Bath County High School.

Now the WKU graduate has the program back on the road to national prominence. ClarkHeard became one of just 56 coaches in NCAA history to lead their alma mater to the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament as she led the Lady Toppers to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances in 2014 and 2015. “What Michelle Clark-Heard has done is instilled pride back in Western Kentucky,” said ESPN analyst Carolyn Peck during the opening round of the NCAA Tournament in 2014. “It had become a state where (Kentucky’s) Matthew Mitchell and (Louisville’s) Jeff Walz were really owning the state in recruiting. Now with Michelle
2016-17 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Clark-Heard, with the passion and pride she has, because she was a player at Western Kentucky, she is bringing that back to Bowling Green.” WKU became one of only five schools to have multiple graduates come back to the program and lead their alma maters to the tournament. The others are USC, Creighton, Oregon State and Louisiana Tech. Alongside her former teammate Mary Taylor-Cowles, Michelle Clark-Heard joined the USC duo of Cynthia Cooper-Dyke and Cheryl Miller as the only teammates in NCAA history to return to their alma mater and lead their teams to the NCAA Tournament as head coaches. The accolades are of little importance compared to the praise of her players, who have responded to her individual player development.
LADY TOPPERS 2015-16 REVIEW HISTORY
With 103 wins in her first four seasons, ClarkHeard has made an immediate and impressive impact on WKU women’s basketball, and her penchant for developing and getting the most out of her players will be put to the test as expectations run high in 2016-17.
GENERAL
2015 All-American Alexis Govan is among those who enjoyed the most improvement as a player under Clark-Heard’s guidance. Govan saw her scoring average increase by 13.7 points per contest from her sophomore to junior seasons while seeing her field goal shooting rise by .086 and three-point field goal percentage jump by .274 between her freshman and sophomore seasons once Clark-Heard arrived.

Redshirt senior Kendall Noble turned in one of the best all-around performances in the nation during the 2015-16 season.

In addition, she dished out 189 assists and collected the first two triple-doubles in Lady Topper Basketball’s storied history.

Media Exposure Lady Topper Basketball was at the forefront of national coverage during their tournament championship win and NCAA Tournament appearance in 2013-14. ESPN’s Saturday morning leadoff of NCAA Tournament coverage led with a WKU mention, putting WKU as a legitimate contender to win an opening round game of the NCAA Tournament despite being a 15 seed in the event. “In the late window, I am looking at Baylor and Western Kentucky,” said ESPN analyst Rebecca Lobo. “It is interesting to see some of these top seeds after a long layoff since their conference championship game, how ready they are to play. Western Kentucky has Chastity Gooch, one of my favorite players. Six-one, can hit the three-ball, this kid can really play.” WKU has a long history of appearing on national television. WKU’s 1992 national semifinal game with CBS remains the highest-rated national semifinal in CBS broadcasting history for women’s college basketball, earning a 6.2 rating and 19 share, seen in over 5.7 million homes. It remains the mostwatched game on CBS in the 1990’s for a women’s college basketball game in the Final Four. With an on-campus public television studio, WKU regularly appears on national, regional and local television. Nearly every Lady Topper Basketball game, at home and on the road, is available via television or webcast. All games are broadcast via radio and available online.

SUMMARY AND NOTABLES MUNCIE, Ind. - WKU held a 35-31 halftime lead in its season opener at Ball State on Thursday evening, but the Cardinals used 31 fourth-quarter points to battle back as the Lady Toppers fell 74-60 inside Worthen Arena. Five newcomers made their debuts for WKU (0-1), including freshman Kayla Smith who led the team with 13 points on the evening. Fellow freshman Dee Givens pitched in 10 points and six rebounds, while redshirt junior Kendall Noble tallied a double-double of 10 points and 11 boards. Ball State (1-1) was led by a career-high 30 points from Nathalie Fontaine, and Moriah Monaco added 18 points of her own for the Cardinals. Neither side led by more than four points until Givens’ jumper at the 8:42 mark in the second quarter gave WKU a 24-18 advantage. Her basket helped to fuel a 13-0 run by the Lady Toppers, culminating in Tashia Brown’s jumper with 5:33 remaining in the quarter to take a 33-18 lead. The Cardinals battled back over the final five minutes, finishing on an 11-2 run to cut WKU’s lead to 35-31 heading into the locker room.

Ball State used a 14-5 run over four minutes in the fourth quarter to build an eight-point lead with 4:23 remaining. Smith and Micah Jones each knocked down three-pointers to pull WKU back within four points, but the Lady Toppers could pull no closer than that over the final three minutes.

Diddle Arena on Saturday afternoon in the regular season home finale for the Lady Toppers. WKU (22-5, 13-3 C-USA) trailed 17-6 after the first six minutes, but held the Blazers to just seven second-quarter points to rally for the halftime lead. The Lady Toppers did not relinquish their lead at any point in the second half.

At the time, Haskins set ten school records for Warren Central, including points cored in a career at 2,808, an average of 18.5 points per contest. She set her prep career high with 46 points against HughesKirk. She also had 16 assists against Hughes-Kirk as an eighth grade player. Her career best in rebounds came as a junior against Russellville with 21.

PAUL SANDERFORD WKU COACH FROM 1983-1997
RETIRED UNIFORM AS A HEAD COACH Former Western Kentucky University Lady Topper Basketball coach Paul Sanderford enjoyed one of the most successful runs of any collegiate basketball coach in state history, male or female.

Sanderford returned to the WKU sidelines for four seasons (2003-07) as an assistant coach on Darrin Horn’s men’s basketball staff. After volunteering to fill a void on a shorthanded staff at the start of the 2003-04 campaign, he agreed to remain on staff in a full-time capacity for three more seasons. He helped the Hilltoppers to three straight 20-win seasons and a Sun Belt East Division Championship in 2006-07 before retiring. Two years later, he joined the WKU Athletic Hall of Fame as part of the 2008 induction class. On Feb. 6, 2010, Sanderford was honored in the rafters of E.A. Diddle Arena with a jersey bearing his name.

After accepting the job as Nebraska’s eighth women’s basketball coach on June 19, 1997, Sanderford led his first Husker squad to a school-record tying 23 victories and claimed just the second NCAA Tournament victory by a Nebraska team. After finishing with a 23-10 overall mark in 1997-98, Sanderford guided a young Husker team to another 20-win season and another NCAA Tournament bid in 1999, marking the first back-to-back tournament appearances in school history. Nebraska’s 21-12 overall record in 1998-99 marked just the
Along with Nebraska’s success on the court, Sanderford helped the Huskers earn unprecedented fan support, setting a school record with an average home attendance of 5,000 fans per game in 1999-2000. The women’s basketball program set school attendance records in each of Sanderford’s first three seasons, and ranked among the top 25 teams nationally in home attendance in each of his first four years.
HISTORY
In five years at Nebraska, Sanderford led the Huskers to an 88-69 overall record, ranking him as the second-winningest coach in school history. Sanderford guided Nebraska to three consecutive NCAA Tournament bids in 1998, 1999 and 2000, doubling the previous number of NCAA bids by the school.
After losing four seniors from the 1999-2000 team, a young Husker team struggled against a powerful Big 12 Conference schedule, finishing with a 12-18 record, the first losing season in Sanderford’s coaching career. The 2001-02 squad battled its own youth and an even stronger Big 12 schedule, which featured seven NCAA Tournament teams, including five Sweet Sixteen qualifies and eventual NCAA runner-up Oklahoma. His final team finished 14-16 overall.
LADY TOPPERS 2015-16 REVIEW

Despite an 18-13 overall record, the 1999-2000 Huskers played arguably the toughest schedule in school history and finished strong with a 10-6 record in Big 12 play, while advancing to the semifinals of the Big 12 Tournament for the second straight year.
GENERAL
Sanderford amassed 365 victories and a .753 winning percentage as Lady Topper head coach from 1982-97, posting 13 seasons with 20-plus victories during his 15-year stint as head coach.

Paul Sanderford 15 Seasons; 365-120 (.753); 1982-83 through 1996-97 1983, 1986 and 1991 SBC Coach of the Year Former Western Kentucky University Lady Topper Basketball coach Paul Sanderford enjoyed one of the most successful runs of any collegiate basketball coach in state history, male or female. In his 26-year career as a head coach at WKU, Nebraska and Louisburg College, he won 616 games and had a career winning percentage of .748. As a Division One coach, he was 453-189 (.706).
Sanderford amassed 365 victories and a .753 winning percentage as Lady Topper head coach from 1982-97, posting 13 seasons with 20-plus victories during his 15-year stint as head coach. That includes a school-record 32 victories during the 1985-86 season. He also led the Lady Toppers to 14 postseason appearances - including 12 NCAA Tournament and the program’s three Final Four trips in 1985, 1986 and 1992. The 1992 squad advanced all the way to the National Championship game against Stanford. The Lady Toppers won 15 NCAA Tournament games under Sanderford’s direction, advancing to at least the Sweet Sixteen four times. WKU claimed five Sun Belt Conference regular-season championships and seven league tournament titles under Sanderford. He earned Sun Belt Coach of the Year honors three times (1982-83, 1985-86 and 1990-91), while coaching seven different All-Americans. In five years at Nebraska, Sanderford led the Huskers to an 88-69 overall record, ranking him as the second-winningest coach in school history. Sanderford guided Nebraska to three consecutive NCAA Tournament bids in 1998, 1999 and 2000, doubling the previous number of NCAA bids by the school. After accepting the job as Nebraska’s eighth women’s basketball coach on June 19, 1997, Sanderford led his first Husker squad to a school-record tying 23 victories and claimed just the second NCAA Tournament victory by a Nebraska team. After finishing with a 23-10 overall mark in 1997-98, Sanderford guided a young Husker team to another 20-win season and another NCAA Tournament bid in 1999, marking the first back-to-back tournament appearances in school history. Nebraska’s 21-12 overall record in 1998-99 marked just the fourth back-to-back 20-win seasons at Nebraska. Sanderford’s third squad also advanced to the 2000 NCAA Tournament, giving Nebraska three consecutive NCAA bids for the first time in school history. Despite an 18-13 overall record, the 1999-2000 Huskers played arguably the toughest schedule in school history and finished strong with a 10-6

2014-15 Conference USA Champions
All-Time Head Coaches record in Big 12 play, while advancing to the semifinals of the Big 12 Tournament for the second straight year. After losing four seniors from the 1999-2000 team, a young Husker team struggled against a powerful Big 12 Conference schedule, finishing with a 12-18 record, the first losing season in Sanderford’s coaching career. The 2001-02 squad battled its own youth and an even stronger Big 12 schedule, which featured seven NCAA Tournament teams, including five Sweet Sixteen qualifies and eventual NCAA runner-up Oklahoma. His final team finished 14-16 overall. Along with Nebraska’s success on the court, Sanderford helped the Huskers earn unprecedented fan support, setting a school record with an average home attendance of 5,000 fans per game in 1999-2000. The women’s basketball program set school attendance records in each of Sanderford’s first three seasons, and ranked among the top 25 teams nationally in home attendance in each of his first four years. Sanderford returned to the WKU sidelines for four seasons (2003-07) as an assistant coach on Darrin Horn’s men’s basketball staff. After volunteering to fill a void on a shorthanded staff at the start of the 2003-04 campaign, he agreed to remain on staff in a full-time capacity for three more seasons. He helped the Hilltoppers to three straight 20-win seasons and a Sun Belt East Division Championship in 2006-07 before retiring. Two years later, he joined the WKU Athletic Hall of Fame as part of the 2008 induction class. On Feb. 6, 2010, Sanderford was honored in the rafters of E.A. Diddle Arena with a jersey bearing his name.
Junior College Coach of the Year. Prior to his time as the coach at Louisburg College, he spent time at Methodist College, playing baseball and basketball. During his collegiate career, he lettered one year in basketball and two years in baseball at Louisburg College before spending his final two years playing baseball at Methodist College. At Louisburg, he was a All-America selection in 1970. Sanderford holds an AA degree from Louisburg College (1970), a BA in Sociology from Methodist College in Fayetteville (1972) and a MA in Guidance and Counseling from North Carolina State University (1976). Following his career on the sidelines, Sanderford has enjoyed a successful real estate career and has continued to be part of the game through radio and television broadcasting. His reach continues to the court today as his coaching tree continues to expand. Current WKU women’s basketball coach Michelle Clark-Heard, the 2013 Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year, is a former player of Sanderford’s and coached under him at Nebraska. Current Louisville women’s basketball coach Jeff Walz coached under Sanderford at WKU and Nebraska and has reached the Final Four on two occasions, one short of Sanderford’s mark. Steve Small 4 Seasons; 88-40 (.688); 1997-98 through 2000-01 Steve Small led WKU to an 88-40 record in four seasons as coach of the Lady Toppers.

During her college career on the Hill, Cowles earned the WKU Coaches’ Award in 1991. In addition, she was named the Most Valuable Player in the ‘91 Sun Belt Conference Tournament and, as a senior that year, she was WKU’s Female Athlete of the Year.

She scored on nearly half of her shots, with a 49.9 percent shooting percentage. She also completed her career ranked in the top 10 on four of WKU’s career statistical lists, including rebounds and blocked shots.

HERE’S THE GIST
NOTEWORTHY
Located 60 miles north of Nashville and 110 miles south of Louisville off Interstate 65, Bowling Green is the third-most populous city in the state of Kentucky after Louisville and Lexington. As of 2013, the population for Bowling Green sits at 61,488 with 118.370 in the surrounding Warren County area.
We’re humbled and honored to have been:
Significant companies in Bowling Green include the GM Corvette Assembly Plant, Fruit of the Loom/ Russell Athletics, Houchens Industries, Holley Performance Products, and Camping World.
BRIEF HISTORY Warren County consists of 546 square miles and was named for General Joseph Warren, a hero of the famous American Revolution Battle of Bunker Hill. The area was first settled in 1785 when Andrew McFadin built McFadin’s Station on Barren River. Shortly afterward, another explorer, Robert Moore, paused for a few days at the station before deciding to build in the area. Brothers George and Robert Moore may not have realized how forward looking they were when they selected a site on the Barren River in south central Kentucky for a new settlement in 1796. At the first county commissioners meeting in early 1798, the pioneers decided that the new town would be “called and known by the name of Bolin Green.” This name was after the Bowling Green Square in New York City, where patriots had pulled down a statue of King George III and used the lead to make bullets during the American Revolution.

GENERAL LADY TOPPERS 2015-16 REVIEW
In laying out the town, the Moore’s designed two acres for the construction of public buildings. Those same two acres today make up Fountain Square Park in the heart of downtown. This is symbolic of the city of Bowling Green whose central location allowed it quickly to become a major agricultural community and river port, and later, an important commercial and educational center. Today Bowling Green is a regional entertainment hub for more than 250,000 people in 11 surrounding counties.

The President
DR. GARY RANSDELL UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT
19TH YEAR AT WKU | WKU ‘73 Dr. Gary A. Ransdell was named the ninth president of Western Kentucky University on September 12, 1997. Dr. Ransdell, 64, received his Bachelor of Arts degree from WKU in 1973 in Mass Communications, a Master of Public Service degree in Public Administration in 1974, and a Doctor of Education degree from Indiana University in 1978. Dr. Ransdell and the WKU Board of Regents are leading the campus through a dramatic transformation from a university of regional importance to a leading American university with international reach. Since 1997, WKU enrollment has swelled from 14,500 to 20,000, and annual graduation numbers have grown from 2,500 to 4,300. The applicant pool has doubled to over 14,000 and student retention has grown from 67 percent to 76 percent. A key element in the transformation of WKU is growth in private support. WKU completed its first capital campaign on June 30, 2003, with $102 million in gifts and pledges. A second campaign was completed on June 30, 2012, with $202 million in new gifts and pledges. Cash deposits from gifts in 2016 exceeded $21,000,000. Another priority is a complete rebuilding of the WKU campus. Some $900 million in campus construction has been completed since 1998, and $100 million is on the drawing board. Other measures of progress include a dramatic push in sponsored research, the growth of bachelor degree programs in electrical, mechanical, and civil engineering; four new doctoral degree programs in Education, Nursing, Physical Therapy, and Psychology; a new emphasis on the commercialization of intellectual property and the transfer of WKU technology to the Kentucky workplace; growth of the three WKU regional campuses in Glasgow, Owensboro, and Elizabethtown/Ft. Knox; the creation of the Gatton Academy of Math and Science, which is now ranked by Newsweek as the No. 1 high school in America three years in a row; Kentucky’s only independent Honors College with

enrollment of 1,400 high achieving students; expanded study abroad programs; and the state’s first Confucius Institute and only Chinese flagship program. True to its plan, WKU has the largest number of distance-learning courses and the largest distance-learning enrollment among Kentucky’s eight universities. During Dr. Ransdell’s tenure, WKU’s athletic programs have won over 110 conference championships. WKU is also a leader in Conference USA in academic performance. He served as President of the Sun Belt Conference in 2000, and completed a four-year term on the BCS Presidents’ Oversight Committee in 2013. Dr. Ransdell successfully negotiated a move to Conference USA in 2014. Dr. Ransdell has chaired on the Board of Directors of the Louisville Branch of the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank, has served on the Board for the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce, the Board for the Inter-model Transportation Authority of South Central Kentucky, and has chaired the Warren County United Way Campaign. Dr. Ransdell currently serves on the Board of Trustees for the Institute for Shipboard Education (ISE) which operates the global Semester at Sea (SAS) program. Dr. Ransdell and his wife, Julie, met, dated, and were married while at WKU pursuing their undergraduate degrees. They have two sons—Patrick, who graduated from WKU in 2002,; and Matthew, who graduated from WKU in 2006. Both Patrick and Matthew were lettermen with the WKU baseball team. Patrick and Brooke (WKU ‘04) were married in August 2004, and are the parents of Walker and Collins Ransdell, WKU classes of 2029 and 2033! Matthew and Sandra were married in 2014, and both practice law in Tampa, Florida. Further evidence that Gary and Julie are “all in” for WKU are Spirit and Diddle, their yellow lab and English cocker spaniel!

TODD STEWART DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
NINTH YEAR AT WKU | MIAMI (OHIO) ‘88 Operating with a fast break mentality from the day he was hired, Todd Stewart’s tenure as WKU’s Director of Athletics has been marked by consistent success for the Hilltoppers on the field of play, in the classroom, and in the community. In his four years at the helm, 431 student-athletes have obtained their degrees, WKU has captured 25 total conference championships, and the athletic department staff, coaches and players have devoted over 4,000 hours of community service. Stewart also played an instrumental role in elevating WKU’s athletic programs to Conference USA on July 1, 2014.

A member of WKU’s senior athletic staff since 2008 and 25-year veteran of collegiate and professional sports, Stewart was named WKU’s Director of Athletics on May 9, 2012, after serving in the role on an interim basis since March 22.
HISTORY
A total of 108 student-athletes graduated in 2012-13, Stewart’s first full-year as Director of Athletics, and five sport programs (volleyball, women’s swimming and diving, men’s track and field, men’s basketball, softball) won conference championships. Despite a fifth-place conference finish in football, Stewart’s navigation of the bowl landscape helped secure the program’s first ever FBS bowl bid, an at-large appearance in the 2012 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. Men’s basketball became the first team in NCAA history to win their conference tournament two consecutive years by winning four games in four days each time. Softball posted two wins in the NCAA Tournament, the first in the program’s history. Volleyball also capped a 33-4 season by winning the program’s first-ever NCAA Tournament match.
LADY TOPPERS 2015-16 REVIEW
In the Hilltoppers inaugural season in Conference USA in 2014-15, 104 student-athletes graduated and WKU became the first school in the league’s 20-year history to win eight conference championships and a bowl game in the same season. A total of 56 WKU athletes received the 2015 C-USA Commissioner’s Academic Medal for having a grade point average of 3.75 or higher, the most of any school in the league. WKU also had a league-high 55 athletes earn Player of the Week honors.
In its final year in the Sun Belt Conference in 2013-14, WKU won the league’s all-sports championship for the sixth overall time but first since 2008. A total of 110 student-athletes graduated during the year, and WKU’s volleyball, soccer, and women’s indoor and outdoor track teams captured Sun Belt Conference regular season championships while the men’s swimming and diving team won the Conference USA Invitational. WKU’s men’s outdoor track program finished tied for 18th in the nation, the highest national team finish for any WKU program since men’s basketball reached the Sweet 16 in 2008.
GENERAL
The depth of WKU’s success makes the Hilltoppers one of the nation’s most successful all-around athletics programs, as the 25 conference championships during his tenure have been won by 12 different sport programs. The 2015 football program had perhaps the best season in school history. WKU tied the school record for single-season wins (12), became the first school in Conference USA’s 20-year history to go undefeated in regular season league play and also win the league’s championship game, defeated South Florida in the Miami Beach Bowl for the program’s second consecutive bowl victory, and finished the season ranked No. 24 nationally by the Associated Press. WKU Volleyball also finished its season nationally ranked, finishing No. 22 in the final AVCA poll after going 32-4, winning the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles, and sweeping Arizona in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The men’s track team also captured the 2016 Conference USA indoor and outdoor titles, its second consecutive indoor league title.
For the first time since 2008-09, WKU had six sport programs win conference titles for two consecutive seasons (volleyball, women’s basketball, softball, men’s indoor track and field, women’s outdoor track and field, men’s swimming and diving). The football team captured the school’s first ever FBS bowl win in the inaugural Popeyes Bahamas Bowl and gave WKU its second-straight eight-win season behind the strength of the nation’s fourth-ranked offense.
Senior Athletic Staff Stewart has a wide range of experience on many different levels, including nearly two years as WKU’s Senior Associate Athletic Director, over two years as WKU’s Associate Athletic Director for Communications and Media Relations, more than three years as Associate Commissioner for Communications at the Sun Belt Conference and 15 years of communications and media relations experience with two different franchises in the National Football League. Stewart joined WKU in June of 2008 after a 40-month stint as Associate Commissioner for Communications for the Sun Belt Conference, where he and his staff were responsible for internal and external communications for all Sun Belt Conference publicity. He also served on the BCS Media Relations Committee for college football’s 2008 National Championship Game. Prior to coming to the Sun Belt, Stewart worked in the National Football League for 15 years. He was hired by the Cleveland Browns as Executive Director of Communications and Media Relations in 1999, helping to create the franchise’s communications/media relations department as it reentered the league as an expansion team. Stewart developed the Browns’ strategy for releasing organizational messages via press conferences, press releases, interviews, the team’s official web site and publications. Stewart assisted the NFL’s public relations staff at Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans and was the AFC public relations representative at the 2000 Pro Bowl in Hawaii while with the Browns. He also served on the NFL’s Media Policies Committee.
Prior to joining the Browns, Stewart was the Assistant Director of Public Relations for the Indianapolis Colts from 1991-99, where he helped direct activities between the organization, community and media. While with Indianapolis, he worked on the NFL’s public relations staff at Super Bowl XXVII in Los Angeles and at three consecutive AFC Championship Games (1997-99). The Colts’ public relations staff was presented the 1996 Pete Rozelle Award, an annual honor bestowed to the NFL’s top PR staff as voted by the Pro Football Writers of America. Stewart, 49, received his bachelor’s degree in communications from Miami (Ohio) in 1988, where he twice received the Miami University Parents’ Council Student Achievement Award for outstanding service to the university. He worked as a graduate assistant in the sports information department at the University of Tennessee from 1988-90. Stewart currently serves on the Board of Directors for the United Way of Southern Kentucky and is also a member of the Bowling Green Rotary. A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Stewart and his wife, Rebecca, have one son, Blake.

BIG RED
THE SPIRIT OF WESTERN
Big Red, Western Kentucky University’s athletic mascot, was born in the fall of 1979 and celebrates its birthday on December 1st. Big Red can be best described as the Spirit of Western! The huge, furry, lovable creature was originally designed and built by WKU student Ralph Carey, (’80 WKU graduate), of Cincinnati, and made its’ debut during the Hilltoppers’ 1979-80 basketball season. Big Red has become a big hit with fans of all ages throughout the state and the nation. Big Red’s signature moves are the belly slide and belly shake. Big Red is an eight-time participant in the Capital One Mascot Challenge and, in 2012, Big Red was named the first member of the Capital One Mascot Hall of Fame. Prior to the 2013 season, Sports Illustrated rated Big Red as the number nine mascot in college football. Of course, on The Hill, we all think Big Red is No. 1. The ultimate fan and supporter of all WKU’s intercollegiate sports, Big Red won the “Key to Spirit” award, the highest honor presented to team mascots at the time, at the Universal Cheerleading Association competition in 1980, 1981 and again in 1983. In the spring of 1990, Big Red reached the “Final Four” of the UCA’s second annual national championship event in San Antonio, TX, taking third-place honors. Then, in the spring of 1996, Big Red reached the “Final Four” of ESPN SportZone’s “Battle of the Mascots” in public balloting on the Internet. Big Red was the centerpiece of ESPN’s promotion of the 25,000th Sports Center, airing in August 2002. In 2005, Big Red placed second at the Universal Cheerleader Association’s Summer Camp in Knoxville, TN. Also, in 2005 Big Red was voted the favorite mascot (of participating schools) at the NCAA Mascot Mania celebration in Indianapolis, Ind.

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.
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 were 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. In October 2015, Judy MacLeod became the league’s third 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 brought in 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. WKU joined the league on July 1, 2014.

The conference’s current footprint is concentrated with 14 members in 10 states and a combined area population of more than 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, student-athletes are recognized each season through the Spirit of Service award.

LADY TOPPERS 2015-16 REVIEW
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 21 years, more than 30,000 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.

2017 C-USA BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS UAB and the city of Birmingham have been chosen to host the 2017 Conference USA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships, as announced by the league office. The championships are scheduled for March 8-11 and will feature games at both Legacy Arena and Bartow Arena. All rounds of the men’s championship will be played at Legacy Arena, while the women’s championship will shift from Bartow Arena to Legacy Arena for the semifinals and finals. UAB hosted the inaugural Conference USA Women’s Basketball Championships in 1996 and the previous two seasons. “Birmingham and UAB have been wonderful hosts over the past two seasons, featuring tremendous hospitality from the community and providing a pair of topnotch arenas,” Conference USA Commissioner Judy MacLeod said. “Additionally, the city’s proximity to many of our member schools allows even more fans to participate in this showcase event.” LAST FIVE CHAMPIONS Year Champion 2011-12 UTEP 2012-13 Tulsa 2013-14 Middle Tennessee 2014-15 WKU 2015-16 Middle Tennessee
