IN THE

SPOTLIGHT

Choosing to become a Mountaineer student-athlete is special. Without a professional sports team in the state, the people of West Virginia and the region love WVU athletics. Mountaineers have the unique opportunity to represent themselves, their teammates and their university to news media, alumni, friends, family and the general public. Interaction with these groups is also part of the educational process as a West Virginia University student-athlete. By taking advantage of these opportunities, it can have a positive effect, not only on a Mountaineer’s career as a student-athlete at West Virginia, but also on their life after donning the Old Gold and Blue.

A CHAMPIONSHIP

PROGRAM

In 13 seasons as the cross country head coach, Sean Cleary has led WVU to unprecedented national success and has been named Mid-Atlantic Coach of the Year three times. During Cleary’s first season in 2007, the Mountaineers became the fourth athletic program in school history to capture a Big East Championship title. Led by Marie-Louise Asselin, who placed second overall at the conference meet, WVU would go on to finish ninth at the NCAA Championships - the first top-10 finish in program history. The 2008 season saw WVU earn a school-best fourth place at the NCAA Championships and first at the Mid-Atlantic Regional. Asselin became the first Mountaineer runner to earn the individual title at the Big East Championship. Keri Bland and Asselin became the first three-time All-Americans in cross country in 2009, leading the team to a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Championships after finishing in 31st and 34th place, respectively. Kate Harrison crossed the line at the 2011 NCAA Championships in an all-time program best eighth place and helped lead the team to an eighth-place finish as well. In 2014, the Mountaineers recorded an eighth-place finish at the NCAA Championships, where they earned two All-Americans (Jillian Forsey and Katie Gillespie), and an NCAA Elite 89 Award Winner (Kelly Williams). Gillespie joined Asselin and Bland in becoming three-time All-Americans, as she placed 26th overall at the National Championship. Cleary has produced 12 of the program’s 15 All-America titles and numerous all-conference runners. Since then, Cleary has led three individuals – Millie Paladino (2015), Jillian Forsey (2016) and Maggie Drazba (2016) – to the NCAA Championships in the past five seasons. In all, WVU has appeared in nine NCAA Championships as a team, all of them with Cleary a part of the program in some capacity. The Mountaineers have finished in the NCAA top-10 five times since 2007.

COMMUNIT Y

SERVICE

Winning and working hard are important to the West Virginia University track and field team, but becoming successful, positive role models in the community is just as significant. Each year, the Mountaineers work to give back to Morgantown and surrounding communities. Members of the WVU track and field team are frequent visitors to the WVU Children’s Hospital and help several different local community service projects throughout the year. The team also regularly donates its time and knowledge by hosting and teaching local youth track clubs the fundamentals of the sport. Along with strengthening the youngsters’ skills, they also teach the participants the importance of good sportsmanship, courage, determination and hard work. Coach Cleary’s student-athletes can also be found at the Morgantown Ronald McDonald House, as well as assisting in Special Olympics events. Additionally, Mountaineer coaches and players take part in Relay for Life of Monongalia County, the American Cancer Society’s signature event, which offers everyone in the community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. It’s the commitment of bettering the community that makes being a Mountaineer even more special.

Sean Cleary CROSS COUNTRY AND TRACK & FIELD COACH 14TH SEASON AND 28TH OVER ALL

WVUSPORTS.COM Sean Cleary, one of the sport’s most talented coaches, enters his 14th season at the helm of the West Virginia University cross country and track and field teams in 2020-21. Cleary has been associated with both programs for over two-and-a-half decades. With his expertise in mentoring, training, conditioning and recruiting distance runners, the Georgetown, Ontario, native has built West Virginia’s cross country and track and field programs into national powerhouses, producing numerous All-America and all-conference honors. Under Cleary’s guidance, the Mountaineer cross country team is coming off a successful 2019 campaign, in which the team placed third at the 2019 Big 12 Championship and fifth at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional. Candace Archer, Olivia Hill, Hayley Jackson and Ceili McCabe collected All-Big 12 honors for finishing inside the top-15 at the conference meet. Jackson, Archer and McCabe placed inside the top-25 at the Mid-Atlantic Regional to earn All-Mid-Atlantic Region accolades as well. After a successful freshman campaign, McCabe was named the 2019 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year. She garnered All-Big 12 and All-Mid-Atlantic Region honors and was the first freshman to cross the finish line at the Big 12 Championship after finishing in 13th place. At the regional meet, McCabe finished 25th and was just the second rookie to cross the line. Despite the 2020 outdoor track and field season being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Mountaineer track and field team made significant strides during the indoor portion of the season. West Virginia registered a total of six podium finishes in eight events at the Big 12 Indoor Championship – three of which came from redshirt sophomore Hayley Jackson. Additionally, five Mountaineers finished the season ranked in the program’s all-time indoor top-5 list in their respective events.

WVU went on to finish sixth as a team at the Mid-Atlantic Regional. The track and field team earned ninth-place finishes at both the Big 12 Indoor and Outdoor Championships in 2018-19. Seven Mountaineers earned All-Big 12 indoor honors and five earned All-Big 12 outdoor accolades. Madelin Gardner, Hayley Jackson and Faith Penny collected honors at both the indoor and outdoor championships. Four Mountaineers qualified for the 2019 NCAA East Preliminary Round including Gardner, Jackson, Olivia Hill and Shamoya McNeil. Gardner qualified for the 2019 NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships, earning Second Team All-America honors in the pole vault at each meet.

Maggie Drazba led WVU with a sixth-place finish at the conference meet, while Amy Cashin placed 13th. Both earned AllBig 12 accolades before going on to nab All-Mid-Atlantic Region honors later in the season, helping West Virginia place seventh at the regional meet. The 2017-18 track and field season saw a large amount of success at the regional and national level. Amy Cashin and Madelin Gardner represented WVU at the NCAA Indoor Championships in March, as well as the NCAA Outdoor Championships in June. The duo combined to record four total All-America honors on the year, including Gardner’s First Team performance in the pole vault at the outdoor meet. Gardner finished eighth in the event to earn a spot on the podium, while Cashin placed 13th in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, earning a school-record time in the process. At the NCAA Indoor Championships, Cashin finished ninth in the mile, while Gardner took ninth in the pole vault. Additionally, Gardner was named the Mid-Atlantic Region Indoor Field Athlete of the Year by the USTFCCCA. In a year that featured five new track and field records – including two events that were topped on multiple occasions – the Mountaineers also continued their strong showing academically. For the second consecutive year, Cashin was named the Big 12 Track and Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year. She also earned Google Cloud Academic All-America First Team honors by CoSIDA as was one of 17 Academic All-Big 12 selections from WVU.

The Mountaineers placed 11 on the Academic All-Big 12 team and saw Cashin win the Big 12 Track and Field Scholar-Athlete of the Award and WVU Order of Augusta Award, and Drazba earn the WVU Foundation Most Outstanding Senior honor. Forsey, meanwhile, was named the Big 12 Cross Country Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the third such award in the last five years for a member of the Mountaineer cross country team. The 2015-16 season also saw many accomplishments academically and athletically.

dino led the Mountaineers, crossing the finish line in 11th place with a time of 21:16.20, and Plombon crossed the finish line in 23rd overall (21:25.20).

She placed 77th overall with a career-best time of 20:41.60 on the 6k course at E.P. “Tom” Sawyer State Park. On the academic side, senior Kelly Williams was named to the 2016 Track and Field/Cross Country Academic All-America First Team (selected by College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA)) for the second consecutive year while maintaining a 4.0 GPA. Additionally, Cashin and Williams were named to Academic All-District First Team. With the guidance of Cleary, the 2014 season demonstrated true athleticism and dedication from young athletes. In the fall, he led the Mountaineers to a second-place finish at the Big 12 Championship for the second straight year. Forsey finished 12th, earning All-Conference honors, along with Kaitlyn Gillespie and Drazba. The Mountaineers appeared in their ninth NCAA Championships and sixth under Cleary.

Gillespie was honored as an All-American in her final race as a Mountaineer, finishing 26th, along with Forsey, who finished 14th overall. Williams earned the Elite 89 Award for having the highest cumulative grade point average out of all participants at the NCAA Championships. Cleary was named the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) President for Division I Cross Country prior to the start of the 2013 cross country season. He guided the Mountaineers to their sixth NCAA appearance in seven seasons under his direction as well. West Virginia posted a second-place result at the Big 12 Championship, while senior Sarah Martinelli went on to claim All-Big 12 and All-Mid-Atlantic Region honors. West Virginia entered into a more highly-competitive conference as it competed in the Big 12 for the first time in 2012. Cleary used the season to build on to his framework of confidence and winning at a higher level. Sarah-Anne Brault returned from training for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London for her final season as a Mountaineer by running in her fourth consecutive NCAA Championships. On the way, Brault garnered all-conference honors for the second time in her career, all-region honors for the third time and finished her career by becoming the 13th runner in program history to qualify individually for the NCAA Championships. The Mountaineers finished No. 8 in the country in 2011 at the NCAA Cross Country Championships – their fourth top-10 national finish in five years. The team finished in fourth place at the Big East Championship and followed it with a third-place mark at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional. Cleary then led his team to its eighth-place finish at nationals where Kate Harrison and Gillespie became All-Americans, with Harrison finishing in eighth place, an all-time WVU best individual finish for the event. In 2010, Cleary sent Gillespie and Brault to the NCAA Cham-

WVUSPORTS.COM pionships, where Gillespie became Cleary’s sixth All-American with a 34th-place finish in 20:46. Brault arrived in 71st place. During indoor track season, three athletes were named All-Americans and all seven athletes who qualified for the outdoor NCAA Championships achieved All-America status. For the achievements, Cleary was named the NCAA’s Mid-Atlantic Region Coach of the Year for track and field. The 2009-10 season was equally successful as the team achieved sixth place at the NCAA Championships, its third straight top-10 finish. Clara Grandt, Keri Bland and Marie-Louise Asselin each earned All-America status for their successful campaigns. Asselin and Bland achieved the honor for the third time in their WVU careers, while Grandt earned her first. Ranked in the top 10 all year, the team received its highest-ever ranking as a program at No. 3 midway through the season. Between indoor and outdoor track that year, 11 All-America honors were distributed, while Bland, Grandt and Asselin became the first Mountaineers to achieve the status in three sports in the same year. Overall, 17 All-American honors were given to WVU athletes between cross country, indoor and outdoor track in what became one of the most successful seasons in school history. At the completion of the 2009-10 cross country and track seasons, WVU was recognized as the fifth-best team on the Terry Crawford Program of the Year Award list, announced by the United States Track and Field and Cross County Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). The award is given annually to the most outstanding NCAA Division I women’s cross country and track and field programs and honors the institution that has achieved the most success in each academic year based on the institution’s finish at the NCAA Division I Championships over three seasons. In 2008, the team had its best-ever finish at the NCAA Cross Country Championships, arriving in fourth after being ranked No. 5 most of the year. WVU won its second NCAA Mid-Atlantic Region championship and Cleary was named Mid-Atlantic Coach of the Year. Asselin became the first runner in school history to win an individual Big East title, helping the team finish in second. In Cleary’s first season as head coach in 2007, he was named Big East Coach of the Year after the program’s first-ever conference cross country championship. Three runners were named All-Big East as the team entered the top 25 for the first time in three years. For the fourth year in a row, the Mountaineers were named an All-Academic Team by the USTFCCCA in 2007. The group was ranked 17th in the nation in terms of overall grade point average (GPA) and had the second-highest GPA in the Big East with a 3.61 average. Cleary previously had been the distance coach in 2005 and 2006 and was a full-time assistant from 2001-04, serving as the primary coach and trainer for the cross country team during that span. Prior to the 2001 season, Cleary served as a graduate assistant coach for eight seasons at WVU. His primary duties included recruiting and coaching the middle distance and long-distance runners. WVU’s distance medley relay team qualified for nationals for seven consecutive years from 1998 to 2004, the second-longest streak in the nation at the time, under Cleary’s watch.

In all, Cleary has coached nearly two-dozen athletes who have competed at the World Track and Field, World Cross Country, World University Games and Pan American Championships. Cleary worked closely with former head coach Dr. Martin Pushkin in building the women’s cross country and track and field teams into national contenders. Cleary was responsible for the recruitment and mentoring of NCAA mile champion Kate Vermeulen, as well as All-Americans Rebecca Stallwood, Merissa Sexsmith and 2005 NCAA outdoor champion Megan Metcalfe. Under his guidance, Cleary’s coaching has produced several men’s All-America runners, including four-time All-American Bob Donker, NCAA cross country All-Americans Wynston Alberts, Mike Dudley and Steve Bohan, two-time NCAA qualifiers Jeff Metcaff and Bohan, NCAA qualifier Ian Collings and 5,000-meter All-American Mark Vilardo.

Shelly-Ann Gallimore A SS I S TA N T COAC H 13TH SEASON/15TH YEAR OVER ALL

WVUSPORTS.COM Shelly-Ann Gallimore enters her 13th season as an assistant coach with West Virginia University’s track and field coaching staff after working with the Mountaineers for two seasons as a graduate assistant. Her duties include designing and administering training plans for the horizontal and vertical jump groups, as well as assisting with meet management for all home track meets. Under her tutelage, she has coached a USA Junior Trials qualifier, several NCAA Regional qualifiers in the high jump and NCAA Championship qualifiers in the triple jump. Despite the 2020 outdoor track and field season being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Gallimore helped the jumpers reach new heights during the indoor portion of the 2019-20 season. A pair of Mountaineers finished the indoor season ranked inside the program all-time top-five list. Sophomore Myseha Nott made a name for herself in her first year at WVU, finishing the season tied for fourth place in the triple jump (12.46m). Additionally, sophomore Peter-Gay McKenzie finished the indoor season ranked No. 5 in the long jump (5.93m). Gallimore coached Faith Penny to All-Big 12 indoor and outdoor accolades in the high jump in 2019. Penny registered career-best marks at the indoor and outdoor championships to earn the honor. Shamoya McNeil also qualified for the NCAA East Preliminary Round in the triple jump and finished 28th overall. In 2018, Gallimore helped Shamoya McNeil earn All-Big 12 honors in the triple jump at the Big 12 Indoor Championship. McNeil earned a mark of 12.85 meters, good for the Bronze medal. Gallimore also guided one Mountaineer to the 2017 NCAA Outdoor Championships and two to the NCAA East Preliminary Regionals. McNeil competed in Eugene, Oregon, against the nation’s best, finishing 22nd overall in the women’s triple jump and earning All-America Third Team recognition. McNeil was joined by Danique Bryan at regionals. Earlier in the year, Bryan set a school record in the triple jump, earning an outdoor career-best mark of 13.68 meters. Together, Bryan and McNeil rank 1-2 on the program’s all-time triple jump list. During the 2016 season, eight Mountaineers qualified to compete at the NCAA East Preliminary Round, two of which were Gallimore’s jumpers, McNeil and Hannah Stone. McNeil competed in the triple jump, placing 30th overall and Stone placed 27th in the high jump. That same year, McNeil set a career best and the second-best mark in the triple jump in WVU indoor history at the Big 12 Indoor Championship, marking 12.82 meters and set the third best mark in outdoor history, marking 12.76 meters. Gallimore played an integral role in assisting eight Mountaineers earn all-big 12 honors at the Big 12 Outdoor Championship and seven at the indoor championship. In 2015, Gallimore coached McNeil to a qualifying triple jump mark of 12.81 meters, and a season best at the NCAA Preliminary rounds. McNeil was ranked at No. 24 in the event going into the championship. In 2014, Gallimore coached Stormy Nesbit to First Team All-America status and an eighth place showing in the triple jump at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon. She also helped Marseille McBeam and Hannah Stone to top-five finishes in the High Jump at the Big 12 Championship. She helped Nesbit break the school record in the triple jump

as she earned a 13.07-meter jump at the 2012 ECAC Championships. Three long jumpers (Chelsea Carrier-Eades, Nesbit, Meghan Mock) placed second through fourth at the Big East Outdoor Championships, and high jumper Sydney Cummings earned a career-best height of 1.77 meters at the NCAA East Regional, the fourth-best height in WVU history. In 2011, she was instrumental in helping high jumper Katelyn Williams and long jumper Meghan Mock earn their first ever All-America honors through close supervision and strength and conditioning modifications. In 2010, Gallimore aided multi-event student-athlete Chelsea Carrier-Eades with her jumps as she earned her first-ever All-America status in the pentathlon and Mid-Atlantic Field Athlete of the Year honors during the indoor season. During the outdoor season, Gallimore saw junior Katelyn Williams to the NCAA Outdoor Championships, as the first high-jumper to represent WVU at the national championships since 1990. In 2009, she aided Williams to the 2009 Canadian Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Toronto, where she cleared 1.71-meters, while Natasha Redman jumped a personal-best 1.75-meters at the Duke/Asics Invitational to qualify for the NCAA Regionals. Gallimore, a native of Kingston, Jamaica, was successful as a student-athlete winning a 2001 NCAA Championship in the triple jump. The All-American also was a two-time SEC champion in the triple jump for Auburn. After her 2004 graduation, Gallimore spent time as a volunteer coach at her alma mater. Gallimore also has years of international experience under her belt. She placed seventh in the triple jump at the 2000 World Juniors as part of the Jamaican National Team.

RECORD BOOK MEGAN METCALFE 2002, 2004 Megan Metcalfe, a nine-time All-American, is the most prolific distance runner in Mountaineer women’s cross country and track and field history and was inducted into the West Virginia University Sports Hall of Fame in 2015. She was the first women’s cross country runner, and the third women’s track and field athlete to be inducted. Metcalfe is also the first Mountaineer to achieve two All-America honors in cross country. The Edmonton, Alberta, native earned her first All-America accolade as a member of the 2001 distance medley relay team, which finished in eighth place at the NCAA Track & Field Championships. Metcalfe’s second All-America award, and first individual, came with a third-place finish in the 3,000-meter race at the 2002 NCAA Outdoor Championship in a WVU record-time of 9:09.95. Also an outstanding cross country runner, Metcalfe was named the 2000 Big East Freshman of the Year. Her third All-America honor came with a ninth-place finish at the 2002 NCAA Cross Country Championship, making her just the second female cross country All-American in school history and only the fourth Mountaineer to earn All-America honors in two sports. She earned her fourth and fifth All-America accolades in 2003 by finishing fourth in the 3,000-meters at the indoor championship and wa s a part of the school-record-setting distance medley relay team in that same meet. Her sixth and seventh awards came in March 2004, when she was fifth in the 3,000-meters at the NCAA Finals and again was a member of the DMR team. Metcalfe’s school-record setting eighth All-America honor came at the 2004 NCAA Cross Country Championship where she recorded a 16th-place overall finish. Metcalfe capped off her brilliant career with a ninth All-America honor and a national championship when she won the 5,000-meters at the 2005 NCAA Outdoor Championships. She also competed at the World Cross Country Championship twice during her tenure at WVU and competed at the World University Games in Turkey. In 2008, Metcalfe reached the top, as she ran in the 5,000-meter race for Canada in the Beijing Olympics.

MARIE-LOUISE ASSELIN 2007, 2008, 2009

MARIE-LOUISE ASSELIN 76

Marie-Louise Asselin capped her cross country career as one of the most decorated runners in WVU history. The Sarnia, Ontario, native owns seven All-America medals, including three in cross county and four in track. Asselin’s last cross country season, 2009, was one for the record books as she became one of only two WVU runners to earn three All-America honors in the sport. Along with teammate Keri Bland, Asselin achieved the honor as she finished in 31st place (20:43) at the 2009 NCAA Cross Country Championships. The Mountaineers went on to finish sixth, marking the third-consecutive year that WVU finished in the top 10 at the national championship. Asselin also earned all-region honors for the fourth time in her career and All-Big East honors for the third time. Her success continued into the track season as she posted a second-place finish in the 5,000-meter race at the NCAA Indoor Championships (15:50.53) and a second-place finish in the 5,000m at the NCAA Outdoor Championships (15:53.93). In 2008, she led WVU to its most successful season in school history, as the Mountaineers took a historic fourth-place finish at the NCAA Cross Country Championships, first at the NCAA All-MidAtlantic Regionals and second at the Big East Championship. Asselin became WVU’s first Big East Women’s Cross Country Individual Champion in 2008, as she took the top spot with a time of 20:10. She then placed 17th at the NCAA Championships race with a time of 20:27 to earn her second consecutive All-American honor. She earned her first All-American title in 2007 as the Mountaineers captured their first Big East Championship and finished ninth in the country. Even though she was just a sophomore at the time, Asselin became WVU’s third All-American in the sport when she finished 17th (14th in the team standings) with a time of 20:39 at the 2007 NCAA Championships. It was a fitting ending to an outstanding season that saw her post the team’s highest finish in the final five meets. Asselin showed glimpses of her abilities just weeks earlier at the Big East Championship, where she took second place. At the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional race that year, she placed third in leading her team to an overall second-place finish. Asselin, an All-Big East and All-Mid-Atlantic region selection, was joined by Bland as an All-American, marking the first time in program history that two teammates earned the honor in the same season. In the 2008 indoor track season, Asselin went on to place seventh in the 3,000-meter to earn All-America honors and was on the AllAmerica distance medley relay team that took fourth at nationals.

WVUSPORTS.COM

KERI BLAND 2007, 2008, 2009 Keri Bland, a seven-time All-American, continued to leave her name in the WVU record books as she aided the Mountaineers to a sixth-place finish at the 2009 NCAA Cross Country Championships, marking the third-straight year WVU finished in the nation’s top 10. Bland, along with teammate Marie-Louise Asselin, became the only Mountaineers in school history to earn All-America honors for three seasons in cross county, as she finished 34th at the national meet (20:45). The Fairview, West Virginia, native earned two All-America honors in the 2009 indoor track season, as she placed eighth in the mile and was a part of the distance medley relay team. Bland continued to dominate in the outdoor season, as she earned her fourth honor of the year by virtue of finishing as one of the top U.S. competitors in the 1,500-meter race, marking the second time she earned honors in all three seasons. Bland was an essential part of the Mountaineers cross country team in 2008, when she led WVU to its most successful season in school history as the squad placed fourth at the NCAA Championships, first at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regionals and second at the Big East Championship. She was the first Mountaineer to finish at the NCAA Championships, where she finished 14th with a time of 20:20. In 2007, Bland and Asselin helped guide the Mountaineers to their first conference title and the highest finish at nationals in school history (ninth) in 2007. At nationals, Bland was the second Mountaineer to cross the line in 23rd at 20:58. Bland, along with Asselin, was named a first team All-American, marking the first time WVU’s cross country program had multiple All-Americans in the same year. Bland earned All-Big East and All-Mid-Atlantic region accolades during the season after finishing fourth and seventh, respectively, in those races. In the 2008 indoor track season, Bland was a part of the All-America distance medley team that set a school record and placed fourth in the country. She finished the 2008 outdoor season by earning All-America honors in the 1,500-meters to become the first female in WVU history to earn All-America honors in three sports in the same year.

KERI BLAND

CLARA GRANDT 2009 Clara Grandt saved the best for last as she posted the finest season of her career and earned her first All-America honor in cross country as a senior in 2009. The West Union, West Virginia, native led the team to a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Cross Country Championships, the first Mountaineer to cross the line in 13th-place overall. Grandt also earned all-region and All-Big East honors and was named the Big East Cross Country Athlete of the Week on Sept. 24, for her efforts in the Midwest Open. There she crossed the line in 17:00.1, 19 seconds before Louisville’s Tarah McKay (17:19.4), for the fastest course time in over 20 years. In the track season, Grandt earned her second honor of the year by virtue of finishing as one of the top U.S. citizens in the 5,000-meter race at the 2010 NCAA Indoor Championships. She then capped off her final season as a Mountaineer with a fourth-place showing in the 10,000-meter race at the outdoor championship, giving her four total All-America honors. Grandt became WVU’s 24th track and field All-American as she earned the honors with a fourthplace showing in the 10,000-meter finals at the NCAA Championships in 2009. Grandt started off the race behind the lead pack before finding her stride around the 6,000-meter mark. The junior closed the gap, and finished with a time of 33:45.16. Since graduating from WVU, Grandt has gone one to win the Pittsburgh Marathon twice (2014, 2015), finish first among Americans at the 2013 Chicago Marathon and fifth overall in 2014. The two-time Olympic trial qualifier has also experienced success at the Boston Marathon and was a member of the U.S. Half-Marathon Championships team in 2014. Currently, Grandt serves as a graduate assistant for coach Sean Cleary’s cross country and track and field teams.

She captured first place in the Big East and ECAC Championships during both the indoor and outdoor seasons. Quackenbush was only one of three athletes in West Virginia history ever to earn All-America status in two different sports at the time.

From there, she ended her season with a 22ndplace finish in the event, earning AllAmerica Third Team honors.

Amy Cashin left West Virginia as its best 3,000-meter steeplechaser in program history. A native of Werribee, Victoria, Australia, Cashin earned All-America third-team status at the 2017 NCAA Outdoor Championships, placing 19th during preliminaries. Then, as a senior, Cashin garnered two more All-America honors. During indoor season, she placed ninth in the mile, crossing the finish line in 4:43.67, good for second-team honors. Outdoors, she broke her own school record in the steeplechase, becoming the first woman in Mountaineer history to break the 10-minute barrier in the event. Cashin finished 13th overall in 9:58.75 for her third career All-America honor. Cashin also was a two-time Big 12 Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year and was named a Big 12 nominee for the 2018 NCAA Woman of the Year Award.

GARDNER 2018

Madelin Gardner rewrote the Mountaineer record book during a memorable 2018 campaign. The Williamstown, West Virginia, native broke the indoor and outdoor pole vault records, and she finished the year with a pair of All-America honors to her name. During indoors, Gardner, who was named the USTFCCCA Mid-Atlantic Region Indoor Women’s Field Athlete of the Year, finished ninth in the pole vault at the 2018 NCAA Indoor Championships, earning a jump of 4.31 meters. The performance was good for All-America second-team honors. Gardner’s success continued outdoors, where she topped her own school record in the pole vault before arriving in Eugene. While there, she registered a jump of 4.30 meters, placing eighth for her second All-America honor of the season and her first time on the first team.

SHANE LYONS In his sixth year as the director of athletics at West Virginia University, Shane Lyons’ vison for the athletics program is crystal clear. It’s a vision that focuses on the betterment of more than 500 student-athletes and the day-to-day needs that will help them succeed in the classroom and in competition, and it is working. His open lines of communications have made him a popular role model for WVU athletes and coaches. His honest, fair and caring approach has led to success on and off the field. Whether it’s regularly scheduled meetings with the student-athletes or his open-door office policy, Lyons has his finger on the pulse of his student-athletes, coaches and staff. His success has brought national exposure to West Virginia as Lyons’ presence is wanted on many national and prestigious committees. He chairs the all-important Football Oversight Committee and is also a member of the NCAA Council. Additionally, Lyons serves on the NCAA Working Group on Transfers, the Football Competition Committee and the NCAA Wrestling Academics Enhancement Working Group. His work with WVU President E. Gordon Gee’s senior leadership team and the Big 12 Conference has brought additional respect and positive exposure to his department and the University. He served on the Big 12 Administration Committee, Finance and Budget Committee and the Game Management and Officiating Subcommittee, while chairing the Big 12 athletic directors committee in 2018. In the office, he devotes endless energy to his Climbing Higher facilities master plan that will keep West Virginia a strong Power 5 institution and position his department for growth and continued success. His Climbing Higher facilities master plan isn’t about keeping up with the Joneses, it’s about taking what his department has, improving it and making it complete for the studentathlete. It’s an aggressive, $100 million fundraising campaign centered on one of his core values - enhancing the student-athlete experience. The campaign is already making a difference with a complete renovation of football’s Milan Puskar Center and the future emergence of an Olympic Sports Performance Center. And, coming in 2021, Lyons will lead the celebration of the 50th birthday of the WVU Coliseum and oversee the installation of 14,000 new seats, a new videoboard, lighting and sound system for the venerable structure. From training, nutrition, medical and competitiveness, Lyons’ vision is for sustained future success, building winning programs and growing WVU’s strong reputation across the country. He is about results, and he has already left a great deal of accomplishments in his rear-view mirror. In 2019, Lyons commissioned and announced an economic impact study that showed Mountaineer Athletics produced more than $300 million to the state’s economy and more than $78 million to the local economy. And with the local economy in mind, Lyons’s proudly saw the formal opening of a new $45 million aquatic and track facility that will not only benefit WVU, but also local schools and the entire community. The Mountaineers proudly hosted the 2020 Big 12 swimming and diving championships in that beautiful facility. Additionally, in the last two years, Lyons’ department has hosted the NCAA rifle national championships, the Big 12 golf championship and an NCAA baseball regional. In 2019 and again in 2020, WVU recorded its highest APR score ever and finished above the national average both
