CONFERENCE

The Big 12 is in its 25th year in 2020-21, as it continues to promote the strength and success of one of the nation’s premier athletic conferences under the direction of seventh-year commissioner Bob Bowlsby. TCU and West Virginia joined the league on July 1, 2012 and became the Big 12’s first additions since inception, joining Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech. With 10 members, the Big 12 remains as the only autonomy conference to determine its champions in all sports directly on the field of play with a full round-robin schedule. The Conference’s hard work ethic and strong values have translated to enormous success in its first 22 years. Since it began competition in 1996-97, the league can boast of 60 NCAA team titles and 654 individual national championships. The Big 12 has been at the forefront in college athletics reform, specifically with student-athlete welfare issues to include cost of attendance, student-athlete time demands and strengthening its policy for concussion diagnosis and management. In 2014-15, the Big 12 introduced and hosted three “State of Collegiate Athletics” forums to examine the issues facing college athletics. Two were conducted in Washington, D.C and one in New York City. Panelists included respected authorities from intercollegiate athletics, university leadership and sports journalism. The third forum featured a special session comprised of student-athletes. The Big 12 has continued the “State of Collegiate Athletics” forums the past four seasons with Dallas serving as the host site for three events and one staged in Atlanta. Big 12 Champions for Life, an initiative of the Big 12 Conference, will begin its fourth year in 2018-19. It features student-athletes, selected by Conference institutions, in a series of public service announcements highlighting the positive impact an athletics scholarship has had on their lives leading to stories of personal growth and success.

The Big 12 was the only conference in 2017-18 that placed a team in the College Football Playoff (Oklahoma), Men’s Final Four (Kansas), Men’s College World Series (Texas and Texas Tech) and Women’s College World Series (Oklahoma). National championships were won by Texas men’s swimming & diving and Oklahoma State men’s golf. UT’s title was its fourth-consecutive while the Big 12 picked up its second straight men’s golf crown with Oklahoma winning it in 2017. Of the eight teams that advanced to match play in the men’s golf championship, half of the field represented the Big 12.

SEAN

COVICH

» HEAD COACH » 7TH SEASON » MISSISSIPPI STATE, 2004 Sean Covich was named West Virginia University’s 12th men’s golf coach on May 22, 2014 and has led the Mountaineers through the reintroduction of the sport and into a new era. Despite the 2019-20 spring season being cut short due to the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, Covich and the Mountaineers managed to make great strides in just the program’s sixth year since being reinstated. Building upon momentum from the team’s first NCAA appearance since 1947 the previous season, Covich’s Mountaineers earned the program’s first-ever top-25 ranking in 2019-20, coming in at No. 25 in the first Bushnell/Golfweek Coaches Poll of the season. West Virginia put a tally in the win column after topping the leaderboard at the Health Plan Mountaineer Invitational at Pete Dye Golf Club in October, recording a win in its home tournament for the second year in a row. Covich led the Mountaineers to its second victory of the season in a head-to-head matchup against Connecticut to open the spring portion of the season. 2019-20 proved to be another record-breaking year for West Virginia, as the team combined to break four different records throughout the season. Senior Etienne Papineau earned the first record of the season with a program-best 54-hole total of 203 at the Old Town Club Collegiate Invitational. Junior Logan Perkins also earned a new 18-hole record low score at the Florida Gators Invitational with a 62 to finish second overall in the tournament. As a team, the Mountaineers recorded a new team 54-hole low round and total versus par at the Ka’anapali Collegiate Classic with a 273-273-280=826 for 26-under par. This bested the previous records of 835 and 22-under. With the help of freshman Kurtis Grant, the 2018-19 season started off in a big way, as Grant posted a 206 in the Old Town Club Collegiate, tying the program record on his way to an 11th-place finish. Soon after, senior Max Sear became the first Mountaineer in more than 35 years to earn medalist honors when he finished atop the team leaderboard at The Health Plan Mountaineer Invitational at Pete Dye Golf Club in October. His first-place finish led the Mountaineers to the team title for the first time ever at their home event. The inaugural Big 12 Match Play Championship was up next for WVU. The Mountaineers put up a tough battle and came away with a win over Iowa State and a tie with Kansas. The Tavistock Collegiate Invitational, which West Virginia joined UCF in hosting, and the Ka’anapali Collegiate Classic wrapped up fall play as the Mountaineers finished with a program-best No. 37 ranking via Golfstat. Spring trips down south included a third-place finish at the Seminole Intercollegiate in Tallahassee, Florida, and a fourth-place finish at the Irish Creek Collegiate in Kannapolis, North Carolina. In an annual tradition, the Mountaineers wrapped up play at rival Penn State’s Rutherford Intercollegiate, taking home third place. At the end of April, West Virginia welcomed the league’s nine other programs to The Old White TPC in White Sulphur Springs as the Mountaineers played host to the 2019 Big 12 Men’s Golf Championship at The Greenbrier Resort. Despite a soggy start, sophomore Matthew Sharpstene led the way for WVU with a 13th-place finish at the historic resort.

History was then made on May 1, 2019. The team gathered at the WVU Coliseum at 9 p.m. to await its fate as the top-50 national ranking all but guaranteed the Mountaineers a spot in an NCAA Regional. The team didn’t have to wait long, as “West Virginia” showed up in the first regional announced. The No. 8-seeded Mountaineers would join Big 12 foes Oklahoma State, Baylor and Iowa State at the University of Louisville Golf Club in Simpsonville, Kentucky. It marked the program’s first NCAA appearance since 1947. One week shy of the fifth anniversary of his hiring, Covich led West Virginia to its first NCAA appearance in 72 seasons. Sharpstene, Sear, Etienne Papineau, Logan Perkins and Philipp Matlari represented West Virgina in Louisville, along with alternate Mark Goetz. The Mountaineers found themselves in contention for a national championship bid early on, as they finished the first day in fifth place after Perkins led the way at one-under-par. The team slipped to eighth on the second day but rallied in the third round. After bouncing in and out of the top five throughout the day, WVU finished just two strokes out of contention, taking sixth place at the regional. Though the season ended, the historical repercussions did not. Sharpstene became the first Mountaineer on record to earn Division I PING Midwest All-Region team accolades in May. Three more Mountaineers were honored in July as Sear, Papineau and Matlari were

named to the GCAA Scholar All-America Teams for their play on the course and work in the classroom. Additionally, West Virginia earned team academic honors for the third straight season.

became the pogram’s first-ever Big 12 Golfer of the Month in November, and went on to set a program low round after carding eight birdies to shoot a 64 at Martin Downs in February.

Tasked with rebuilding a program from scratch, Covich put together a team that saw success in its return to the links.

In just their second season of varsity competition in 2016-17, the Mountaineers posted their first tournament win in more than 30 years when they claimed the title at the East Carolina Intercollegiate in April of 2017. Vienna native Alan Cooke set a program record with a 206 at the Seminole Intercollegiate in March before tying teammate Max Sear with a record low of 66. WVU set records for lowest team round (277) and 54-hole total (849) at the Seminole Intercollegiate as well.

The 2017-18 season ended with the program’s first-ever top-100 ranking for the Mountaineers, as they finished the season at No. 90 out of 300 NCAA Division I Programs. Covich’s Mountaineers started the season off with a bang, taking the team title at the Janney VCU Shootout to open the year. They added another team win in the spring, finishing first at the Martin Downs Collegiate in February. WVU registered team runnerup finishes at The Health Plan Mountaineer Invitational, the Furman Intercollegiate and the Rutherford Intercollegiate. The squad capped the season with a ninth-place finish at the 2018 Big 12 Men’s Golf Championship – a program best – and its second straight GCAA All-Academic Team award. Individually, the Mountaineers excelled on the course and in the classroom. Max Sear set a program record with his 73.03 scoring average on the season and became the program’s second-ever GCAA Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar. He was joined by five teammates in earning Academic All-Big 12 honors. Freshman Matthew Sharpstene

The team made strides in the classroom as well, earning GCAA All-Academic Team accolades after posting a team GPA of 3.0 or above. Chris Williams became the program’s first GCAA All-Academic Scholar by maintaining a GPA of 3.2 or above and a stroke average of 76 or less. Williams and Cooke repeated as members of the Big 12 AllAcademic Team as well. Cooke became the first Mountaineer since 1982 to tee off on Sept. 6, 2015, at the Tiger Turning Stone Invitational in Verona, New York. The squad finished 10th at the historic tournament, and built momentum from there. Senior Easton Renwick recorded the team’s first top-10 finish at the Joe Feaganes Marshall Invitational on Sept. 15, 2015, and

COACHING STAFF would go on to add four more top-25 finishes on the season. After team posting a new-era low of 283 in two rounds at the Joe Feaganes Invite in the fall, WVU capped the regular season with a runner-up finish at rival Penn State’s Rutherford Intercollegiate in April. The squad shot 284-284-285=853 for its lowest 54-hole total of the season. Cooke set a program record by shooting a 207 for six under par and a runner-up individual finish.

At Mississippi State, Covich reeled in the No. 1 ranked junior college golfer in the nation twice, as Joe Sakulpolphaisan (Darton State College) signed with the Bulldogs in 2012 and Tim Walker (Central Alabama Community College) signed with MSU in 2014.

Tristan Nicholls joined Cooke, Sear, Renwick and Williams in representing West Virginia at the team’s first ever Big 12 Golf Championship at Whispering Pines Country Club in Trinity Texas April 29-May 1. Though the Mountaineers finished 10th at the event, Sear finished two spots shy of all-conference honors with a 12th-place finish.

Covich lettered at Meridian Community College from 1998-2000 and was a member of the 1999 NJCAA Region 23 Championship team. He received the Most Dedicated award during the 1998-1999 season. Covich lettered in varsity golf for Lamar High starting in sixth grade. Covich led the Raiders to an unprecedented four consecutive MPSA Overall State Championships in 1995-1998. He received the Sportsmanship Award in his junior and senior seasons.

Prior to the team’s trip to Texas, Covich was inducted into the Mississippi Community and Junior College Sports Hall of Fame for his time at Meridian Community College.

Covich completed his education at Mississippi State, earning his bachelor’s degree in sports communications in 2004 and a master’s degree in sports administration in 2006.

At Mississippi State, Covich became the school’s first full-time men’s golf assistant coach in 2011. He helped the Bulldogs to the NCAA Tournament in 2013 and 2014 while improving the school’s national ranking from No. 125 in 2011 to a school-record No. 27 in 2013. The Bulldogs won a school-record four tournament titles in 2012-13, then added two more tournament wins in 2013-14 for the most wins (six) in a two-year span in school history. The Bulldogs set school records for best team 36 hole score (-25), best team 54 hole score (-38) and season records for most team birdies (497), most team eagles (14) and most team scores of even-par or better (14).

He also coached the school’s first individual national champion in 2010. The Eagles set multiple school records during the Covich era, including most tournament wins in a season (9), lowest team score (274), and lowest team score in relation to par (-14).

WVU opened the season in a big way, achieving the program’s first-ever top-25 ranking. The Mountaineers also recorded a pair of victories, first at their home tournament – The Health Plan Mountaineer Invitational – in October, and second in a head-to-head matchup against Connecticut in February to open the spring season.

Perkins shot a 62 to finish second overall in the tournament. As a team, the Mountaineers recorded a new 54-hole low round and total versus par at the Ka’anapali Collegiate Classic with an 826 total for 26-under par.

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 dayto-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 student-athlete. 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.
