According to SI.com’s Tim Layden, “as I like to think of it: Training Camp Heaven. Wofford is 70 miles west of Charlotte on I-85, and presents all the reasons why there is something special about taking the team on the road for camp. Three pristine, Bermuda-grass fields with a stand of tall pines on two sides and a steep hillside -- where fans sit and watch -on another. Fans, many of them young boys and girls, lined up along the fence, getting autographs after practice. It’s a scene straight out of football’s past.”

Johnny Bomar Head Coach

Johnny Bomar enters his first season at the helm of the Wofford College cross country/track and field programs in 2011-2012.

“We are excited to have Johnny join our staff at Wofford as the cross country/track and field head coach,” said Athletic Director Richard Johnson. “He will be a great addition to our staff and a valuable asset to our programs.”

Bomar comes to Wofford after serving as an assistant at Western Carolina where he worked with the hurdlers and sprinters. WCU finished second in the indoor and outdoor SoCon Track and Field Championships on both the men’s and women’s side.

Prior to his time with the Catamounts, he spent five years at King College two years as head coach and three years as assistant coach. While at King, he coached seven NAIA National Champions, 27 NAIA All-Americans, 20 conference champions and 58 NAIA national qualifiers. He was also named the AAC Coach of the Year in 2009. Bomar spent his first three season as assistant track and field and assistant cross country coach before overseeing all programs as the head track and field coach in 2008.

Bomar is 2002 graduate of Western Carolina and served as a graduate assistant from 2003 until 2005. In his first stint at WCU he coached 20 Southern Conference Champions, 36 All-Conference Athletes, 20 NCAA Regional Qualifiers and one Junior National All-American. He was also the assistant cross country coach for the Catamounts during that time.

He was a part of the 1999 WCU squad, which captured both the SoCon Indoor and Outdoor championships. He was an eight-time Division I letterman and a three-time All-SoCon student-athlete.

Scott Lucking Assistant Coach

Coach Lucking is in his second year with the Wofford cross country and track programs. He joined the Wofford staff after spending a year at South Walton High School in Florida, where eight of his athletes broke numerous school records. His responsibilities with the Wofford program include recruiting, training, and developing the distance runners.

Under Coach Lucking’s leadership both the men’s and women’s cross country teams achieved their greatest success in over a decade. In 2011 women’s team members set three personal records, had four runners under 19:00 for a 5k in the same race for the first time in school history, and Alissa Williams earned All-Southern Conference Freshman Team honors. Lucking guided the team to fifteen of the top twenty-five times of all-time Wofford performances and the team’s best finish at the Southern Conference Championship since 1998. On the men’s side nine personal records were set and four runners were under 27:00 for an 8k in the same race for the first time in school history. The Terrier men set nine of the top twenty-five times of all-time Wofford performances and ran for the team’s best finish ever at the Southern Conference Championship.

Lucking competed at the collegiate level for both Syracuse University and Northern Illinois University. At Syracuse, he was a member of the distance medley relay team which set a school record and was a member of the cross country team that qualified for the NCAA Cross Country Championships. At Northern Illinois, he was a member of two school record holding teams in the two mile relay and distance medley relay events. He graduated with a degree in marketing and a minor in retail.

He holds USA Track & Field certifications in Level I coaching and Level II endurance and continues to compete in running events today.

Coach Lucking resides in Greenville with his wife, Cindy, and son Alex.

The richardson Richardson Building

The Richardson building

The home of the Wofford College Athletic Department is the Richardson Physical Activities Building. The facility includes offices for the administration, football, basketball and other sports on the second floor. Also included on the second floor is an aerobic dance room and weight room with machine and free weights along with a variety of cardio machines. Locker rooms for football, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer and a training room are located on the first floor.

Wofford alumnus and Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson made a $1 million donation in 2008 that was used for enhancing the Richardson Building. Numerous improvements were made in the facility to ensure that it is one of the most advanced athletic facilities in the nation.

Enhancements to the Richardson Building include new paint and carpet in the entire facility. The coaching and administration suites have been reconfigured to provide better reception areas. Football and men’s basketball offices are outfitted with a new video system, including computers, editing software and large-screen monitors. This new system is similar to those being used by the NFL and NBA. Inside the Harley Room, a new audio/video system was installed to handle the variety of events held in the room. New displays for academic honors, Southern Conference honors and the Hall of Fame are a part of the project. Additional murals and photos compliment the building and give it a fresh look.

In addition, the fitness facilities have been upgraded as well. Nearly $100,000 worth of new equipment was added to supplement the current selection of treadmills and elliptical machines. The cardio area features six flat panel televisions for viewing while working out. The fitness area is used by the entire student body at Wofford.

Strength strength and Conditioning conditioning

The Joe E. Taylor Center

Wofford alumnus and South Carolina Secretary of Commerce Joe Taylor donated $1 million for the renovation of the Curry Building into the Joe E. Taylor Athletic Center The Taylor Center features a 7,000 square foot weight room and offices for athletic department staff. The building, located next to Gibbs Stadium, was completed in June of 2009.

The weight room facility is equipped with a total of 24 racks with built-in pull-up bars and nearly 25,000 pounds of plates, dumbells and olympic weights. The 24 racks are divided, with twelve used with platforms and twelve used with benches. Additional equipment includes four pulldown machines, four low row machines, five power runners, six glute/ham machines, two decline ab machines, a leg press and exercise bike.

Also included is a large area of Mondo track flooring, which is used with the step-up boxes, plyo boxes and hurdle sets in speed development.

The Taylor Center also provides offices for administration and numerous sports, including men’s and women’s soccer, baseball, men’s and women’s golf, volleyball, men’s and women’s tennis and cross country and track and field. A conference room and several work areas give the coaching staff much needed space.

Mission Statement

The Wofford College Strength and Conditioning Department embraces the mission of both the college and athletic department. The mission of our program is to foster a positive, safe, challenging, and training environment. Our approach allows coaches, athletic trainers, and athletes to work together towards developing an athlete’s full physical and mental potential.

A focal point of our training programs will be to not spend too much time training one specific aspect of development, but to train with balance. We will be hitting all areas, not neglecting another to prevent injury. Our coaches will inspire the athletes to be consistent, disciplined, and to put forth a great effort every day; never allowing their feelings to affect their performance.

The Philosophy

The Strength and Conditioning Program consists of a year-round training philosophy designed to improve all aspects of physical and mental development of each athlete.

The training cycles consist of different phases, all of which follow sound fundamental training principle and periodization ranging from low to high intensity and high to low volume. These are all encompassing sport specific macrocycles, mesocycles, and microcycles, which will allow each athlete the best opportunity for reaching maximum genetic potential.

Goal

The goal is to improve the strength, speed, agility, balance, and coordination of the athletes. We will further develop proprioception, kinesthetic awareness, eye-hand and eye-foot coordination. We will be focusing on injury prevention, flexibility, and overall power of the athletes trained under the direction of the strength and conditioning department. This will enable each athlete to have the skills and tools necessary to achieve success.

The Southern Conference

The Southern Conference, which began its 91st season of intercollegiate competition in 2011, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models.

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

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

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

The Conference currently consists of 12 members in five

states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships.

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

Membership History On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee. Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new athletic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each

The Southern Conference office is located in the refurbished Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, less than a mile from the Wofford campus.

league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play summer baseball for money.

Play began in the fall of 1921 and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929.

By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932 at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn.

Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt.

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

Southern Conference Members

The Southern Conference continued with membership of 10 institutions including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities.

Another split occurred when seven schools including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary.

Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans five states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford.

two teams finishing in the Top 20 in every season since 1982.

The conference has placed multiple representatives in the FCS Playoffs in 24-of-28 seasons, with 16 Championship Game appearances and eight national titles. The Southern Conference has had at least one team reach the semifinals in 11 of the last 13 years and in 17 of the last 20 seasons.

Wofford won the 2003, 2007 and 2010 SoCon Football Championships.

Championship History The first Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball.

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

Football The Southern Conference has excelled as the premier Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) conference. Southern Conference member Appalachian State won three consecutive FCS titles from 2005-07, becoming the first team to do so. The league boasts more than 250 players who have garnered AllAmerica recognition and numerous national player or coach of the year awards. The conference has had at least one team in the Top 10 of the final FCS poll for 25 consecutive years with at least

PHi Phi Beta Kappa

At the end of the last academic year, there were approximately 2,000 four-year colleges in the United States.

Only 262 of them have the right to induct their graduates into Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s most prestigious liberal arts honor society. There are five independent Phi Beta Kappa colleges and universities in the Carolinas: Wofford, Davidson, Duke, Furman and Wake Forest.

Phi Beta Kappa has an interesting history. Founded at the College of William and Mary in December 1776, Phi Beta Kappa was the first of the Greek letter fraternities and adopted such rituals as the badge, the secret oath, and the special handclasp from the various secret societies of the day.

Phi Beta Kappa, however, was also devoted to the principles of “friendship, morality, and literature (or learning),” and these characteristics gradually attained the greatest emphasis. John Quincy Adams, Edward Everett and Joseph Story, members of the Harvard chapter, are credited with making the fraternity a public literary and honor society for undergraduates in the 1830’s. Women were first admitted to Phi Beta Kappa in 1875 at the University of Vermont.

Only two chapters of Phi Beta Kappa existed in the Southeast before 1900, but gradually the historic state universities and the most outstanding private colleges began to secure chapters. The process of earning a charter often takes many years and standards are very high. Final approval comes by vote of all the chapters at the triennial meetings of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa. At the August 1994 triennial meeting in San Francisco, 53 colleges and universities sought chapters, but only seven institutions even qualified for a vote.

Wofford received its chapter at the 1940 triennial meeting, bringing to fruition more than ten years of work by three Phi Beta Kappa members who were then serving on the faculty: President Henry Nelson Snyder, Dr. David Duncan Wallace, class of 1894, and Dr. John West Harris ’16, a brash and brilliant young English professor not afraid to campaign vigorously in the conviction that his alma mater deserved membership. (Dr. Harris later founded the National Beta Club, which still has its headquarters in Spartanburg).

Joseph Fornadel ‘10 (above) and Mitch Allen ‘11 are the latest in a long line of football players to be inducted into Phi Beta Kappa.

36

With about 350,000 members across the country, Phi Beta Kappa today sponsors numerous programs to encourage scholarship and learning, including the Phi Beta Kappa Book Awards and the visiting scholar, academic fellowship and leadership programs.

For these reasons, Phi Beta Kappa Day at Wofford has institutional significance, as well as being especially memorable for the new members, each of whom will receive the traditional Phi Beta Kappa watch key or pin.

The hub city

The City’s origins predate the Revolutionary War. Spartanburg was named for a unit of American Revolution forces called the “Spartan Rifles” who helped defeat the British at the Battle of Cowpens in 1781, under the leadership of General Daniel Morgan.

The town of Spartanburg was incorporated in 1831 and later as a city in 1880 by the 13 Original States and Tennessee. During this time Spartanburg was booming due in large part to the rapidly expanding textile industry.

In the 1870s, Spartanburg became a railroad “hub city,” with mainline railroads extending from Magnolia Street depot in all directions, taking passengers and freight to Charleston, Augus­ta, Atlanta, Asheville, Charlotte and points beyond. As many as 90 trains per day could be seen and heard operating in Spartanburg during the golden age of the American railroad, 1900-20.

During the 1920s, Spartanburg built South Caro­lina’s first municipal airport and claimed the state’s first commercial radio station (WSPA). Its leader­ship in the state was reflected by the election of several residents as governor.

Thousands of U.S. soldiers bound for overseas service in World Wars I and II trained at camps in Spartanburg.

The post headquarters for Camp Wadsworth (1917-19) was located at the present site of WestGate Mall, and the Camp Croft (1940-45) was located south of the city.

Much of that military reservation has become Croft

State Park.

After World War II, Spartanburg made a con­certed effort to promote its location at the junction of Interstates 85 and 26 to international business. One of the greatest successes of this campaign was the development of the BMW manufacturing center near the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport.

Spartanburg’s downtown, which always has been anchored by the campuses of Wofford and Converse Colleges, has been undergoing a major revival since the mid-1990s. In addition to the corporate headquarters for Denny’s, Advance America, QS-1 and several other companies, the city has acquired a magnificant public library, the Marriott Hotel at Renaissance Park and most recently, the Chapman Arts Center and the USC Upstate George Dean Johnson School of Business. The area surrounding Morgan Square gradually is redeveloping with a variety of interesting restaurants and urban apartment-style housing.

Throughout the 20th century, textile manufac­turing companies formed the backbone of the Spartanburg

economy. The most significant of these companies still in operation is internation­ally respected Milliken & Company.

Blessed by geography and climate as well as by energetic and well-educated citizenry, Spartan­burg is emerging as one of the centers of a 21st century metroplex that extends along the South Carolina portion of the I-85 corridor.
