ATHLETICS

FACILITIES

WVUSPORTS.COM

With the addition of the Bill McKenzie Mobile Rifle Range in 2018, the Mountaineers now have the luxury of shooting their home matches in three venues: the WVU Coliseum, the WVU Shell Building and the WVU Rifle Range. For the first time in program history, the NCAA Rifle Championships was held in Morgantown last season, as the WVU Coliseum played host to the two-day event at the Bill McKenzie Rifle Range. A two-day crowd of 2,215 fans was in attendance, a championship record. The WVU Rifle Range, which is now used as the team’s day-to-day practice venue, reflects the long-term success enjoyed by the 19-time national champion Mountaineers. A unique aspect of the range is the ability for shooters to work simultaneously. Team members can shoot in the smallbore position at the 50-foot targets, while others can shoot at the 10m air rifle targets at the same time.

HAMMOND

» HEAD COACH » 16TH SEASON » ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND

Making good on a promise put in place upon his hiring, Jon Hammond, a native of Aberdeen, Scotland, has returned the West Virginia University rifle team to national glory, implementing a strategy for success that has seen six national championships in 15 seasons, 10 individual NCAA titles, 11 Great America Rifle Conference (GARC) Championships, six undefeated seasons, 173 All-America honors and 17 CoSIDA Academic All-America recognitions. Additionally, Hammond has overseen the careers of multiple Olympians, including 2016 Gold Medalists Ginny Thrasher and Nicco Campriani.

2020-21: Competing in a Pandemic

Despite a challenging year brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, West Virginia continued to maintain its level of excellence, even if it meant starting Hammond’s 15th season a few months later than normal. Facing new types of challenges on a daily basis, the Moutaineers qualified for their 14th consecutive NCAA Championships and ranked No. 4 nationally to conclude the 2020-21 campaign. WVU also took home its conference-best 14th GARC title, including its 11th in a row, scoring a two-day total of 4727. A program-record nine shooters also took home a combined 22 All-America honors from the College Rifle Coaches Association (CRCA), marking the third time since 2016 and the second year in a row the team has accomplished the feat. In addition, those nine shooters also earned 21 All-GARC Honors.

At seasons end, eight shooters earned a combined 21 National Rifle Association (NRA) and CRCA All-America honors. It’s the first time WVU had over 20 All-America honors in one season since 2016. Milica Babic, who graduated from WVU with 11 All-America awards, was the only shooter named to all three first teams. Babic also finished her four-year career with the GARC Outstanding Senior title, becoming the 11th Mountaineer to claim the conference’s top senior award. Of note, a WVU student-athlete has earned the honor every season but two since 2015. West Virginia finished second at the 2020 GARC Championship, held in Memphis, Tennessee, with a two-day total of 4963. WVU finished second in smallbore (2323) and second in air rifle (2370). Sarah Osborn completed the conference championships with the second-best combined score, earning 583 smallbore and 597 air rifle for an aggregate score of 1180. The Mountaineers finished the regular season with a 9-1 mark, including a 7-1 record in

David Koenders earned his second straight Academic All-America honor, landing on the men’s first team after receiving third team recognition the year before. He also was one of 49 students named to the WVU Foundation’s Outstanding Seniors list. Additionally, the Mountaineers participated in their second foreign training trip, traveling to Tokyo, Japan last winter, as all 10 members competed in a friendly shooting competition against the All-Japan University Team. The Mountaineers enjoyed a strong showing in 2018-19. Hammond played an instrumental role in helping the Mountaineers host the first-ever NCAA Championships in Morgantown last season, as a record two-day crowd of 2,215 fans were in attendance. WVU finished second at the NCAA Championships with a 4692 mark at the WVU Coliseum. West Virginia won its 10th consecutive GARC Championship title with a 4715 aggregate score that same season. The title was the team’s conference-best 13th, and WVU swept the smallbore and air rifle team titles for the 10th time since 1998. The Mountaineers also won the GARC regular-season crown for the sixth year in a row with an 8-0 record. Thrasher capped her brilliant four-year career with her fifth GARC title, successfully defending her air rifle title for the third consecutive season, while rising senior Morgan Phillips won the smallbore title. Additionally, Thrasher was named the GARC

WVUSPORTS.COM Shooter of the Year, her second career award, and Outstanding Senior. The Mountaineers finished the season at 13-0, the team’s fourth consecutive undefeated season and fifth unblemished record in six years. A total of five shooters collected 11 All-America honors, and Hammond was named the CRCA co-Coach of the Year. Academically, seven Mountaineers were named to the CRCA All-Academic Honor List, and Koenders was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America Men’s At-Large Third Team. Thrasher was the first WVU student-athlete to be selected as a finalist for the 2019 NCAA Woman of the Year award, an honor that recognizes graduating female college athletes who have distinguished themselves in academics, athletics, service and leadership throughout their collegiate careers. She also was selected as one of 10 NCAA student-athletes across all sports and all divisions to be honored as the 2020 Today’s Top 10 Award winners. The award recognizes former student-athletes for their successes in athletics competition, in the classroom and in the community. Additionally, the Mountaineers participated in a foreign training trip for the first time in program history, traveling to Magaliesburg, South Africa, from Dec. 28 – Jan. 8, to train at the Eagle Eye Shooting Center. At the 2018 NCAA National Championships, Phillips defended her smallbore title and became just the second WVU student-athlete to win two straight NCAA smallbore crowns. Phillips was the second Mountaineer under Hammond to win back-to-back NCAA titles and the first since Petra Zublasing (air rifle, 2012-13). The Mountaineers finished second overall at the NCAA Championships at The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina, with a 4708 aggregate total and claimed first in air rifle, their sixth straight title, with a 2381 total.

Coaching Staff WVU continued its dominance in the GARC, winning its fifth straight and 11th overall regular-season title, as well as its ninth consecutive championship title, shooting a winning 4699 score at the newly unveiled Bill McKenzie Rifle Range, at the WVU Shell Building. Thrasher swept the individual championships, winning her second career smallbore title and first career air rifle title, and Elizabeth Gratz was named the GARC Outstanding Senior. At season’s end, five Mountaineers earned 15 All-America honors and 18 All-GARC selections. Gratz repeated as the NCAA Elite 90 Award winner and became the first WVU student-athlete to win two career honors. Additionally, she was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America First Team for the second straight season, her third career accolade, and Thrasher was named to the second team for the second consecutive year. Gratz was the fourth Mountaineer in program history to receive a first-team honor and the first to snag two career awards. The Mountaineers finished the 2017-18 season at 13-0 (9-0 GARC), the team’s third straight undefeated season and fourth unblemished record in five years. Additionally, WVU set the NCAA records for aggregate score (4742) and smallbore score (2356) in a win at Murray State on Nov. 12, 2017. The WVU rifle program was thrust into the spotlight months before the start of the 2016-17 season, as Thrasher (United States) and Campriani (Italy) combined for three Gold medals at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics. Thrasher claimed the first Gold of the Games, winning the women’s 10m air rifle, while Campriani won gold in the men’s 10m air rifle and 50m 3 positions. Fueled by the summer success, the Mountaineers deftly navigated their season on the strength of four returning letterwinners and three skilled freshmen and claimed their nation-best 19th NCAA National Championship. WVU earned its fifth straight national title with a championship-record 4723 score, shot at Ohio State’s French Field House. The team score was 17 shots better than runner-up TCU. WVU swept the discipline titles for the third time in four years, finishing with marks of 2336 smallbore and 2387 air rifle. The team’s five-peat was the third in the sport since 1980. Babic and Phillips won the smallbore and air rifle titles, respectively, marking the second straight season WVU freshmen claimed the individual championships. Six different Mountaineers have claimed NCAA titles under Hammond. Following the championship, five Mountaineers earned a combined 14 All-America honors, and Phillips was named the NCAA Championships’ Top Performer. The Mountaineers finished the season at 12-0, the program’s second straight undefeated season. The squad then claimed its eighth straight GARC Championship with a 4725 total. Thrasher, the

2017 GARC air rifle champion, was named the GARC Shooter of the Year, while Babic claimed the GARC Rookie of the Year honor. Hammond also was named the GARC Coach of the Year for the second straight season and the fourth time in his career. Gratz led the Mountaineers academically, as she became the first WVU rifle student-athlete to earn the NCAA Elite 90 Award. She also was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America First Team, while Thrasher was named to the second team. A combination of senior leadership and rookie skill helped the Mountaineers push their NCAA title streak to four straight with a commanding performance at the 2016 NCAA Championships, as WVU shot 4703 for its 18th title in Akron, Ohio. For only the second time under Hammond, WVU won the NCAA smallbore and air rifle titles, shooting 2338 smallbore and 2365 air rifle. Additionally, Thrasher became the first freshman in NCAA history, and the first since Mountaineer Petra Zublasing did so in 2013, to sweep the individual titles, winning air rifle and smallbore. The Mountaineers also earned 20 All-America honors. WVU’s build-up to the NCAA victory was nothing short of spectacular, as the squad completed an undefeated 12-0 season and won its seventh straight GARC title with a 4702 showing. Thrasher, the GARC Rookie of the Year, captured the conference smallbore title, and Garrett Spurgeon was named the GARC Shooter and Senior of the Year. Additionally, Hammond was named the GARC Coach of the Year for the third time.

2012-15 Seasons

The Mountaineers extended their NCAA title streak to three straight with a comeback victory at the 2015 NCAA Championships, scoring 4702 and

winning their nation-best 17th title in Fairbanks, Alaska. Down 12 points entering the final day of competition, having shot 2319 in smallbore, WVU overcame the deficit with a 2383 air rifle score. Three Mountaineers finished on the air rifle podium, including NCAA Champion Maren Prediger. Michael Bamsey placed second, and Spurgeon finished third. WVU won its sixth straight GARC title with a 4709 showing at the conference championships. Spurgeon finished first in air rifle, while Ziva Dvorsak was named the GARC Shooter and Senior of the Year. Gratz was named the GARC Rookie of the Year. The Mountaineers finished the year with 23 All-America honors and 28 All-GARC awards. Hammond was named the Rifle Winter 2015 CaptainU Coach of the Year for the second straight season. Despite the graduation of Zublasing, a three-time NCAA Champion for the Mountaineers, West Virginia did not skip a beat in 2013-14, as Hammond led his squad to its second straight National Championship and a perfect 10-0 record. Ranked No. 1 for most of the season, there was little doubt WVU would successfully defend its national title, as the team owned a 17-shot lead after the first day of competition, winning its first smallbore title under Hammond with a 2338 score. The Mountaineers secured the NCAA title with a first place, 2367 air rifle score, giving them a twoday total of 4705. Three Mountaineers shot in each discipline final, with Prediger and Spurgeon finishing second in air rifle and smallbore, respectively. Prior to the team’s national title victory, the squad

WVUSPORTS.COM scored its fifth straight GARC Championship, shooting 4700. Prediger won the GARC air rifle title, and the Mountaineers claimed 14 All-GARC honors. WVU collected 14 All-America honors, and Hammond was named the Rifle Winter 2014 CaptainU Coach of the Year. Thomas Kyanko also was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America Men’s AtLarge Second Team. Hammond rallied his 2012-13 squad around 2012 Olympian Zublasing and a core of young, talented shooters. The Mountaineers navigated a difficult schedule and earned the program’s second National Championship in five years. Ranked No. 1 nationally throughout the duration of the season, the Mountaineers overcame a one-shot smallbore deficit and a third-place finish at the NCAA Championships en route to winning the air rifle team title and bringing the National Championship trophy back to Morgantown for a nation-best 15th time.

Distinguished College Coach for the second time. Leading a team that boasted seven seniors, five of whom comprised his first Mountaineer recruiting class, the 2010-11 season was another championship year for Hammond. Though narrowly edged by GARC rival Kentucky at the 2011 NCAA Rifle Championships, the Mountaineers, ranked No. 1 in the nation throughout the season, won the air rifle team title and finished second overall in smallbore. Additionally, Campriani won the NCAA air rifle title, the first WVU shooter to earn a national championship since 1997. Campriani also finished second in the smallbore competition. All told, the Mountaineers earned a combined five top-five air rifle and smallbore finishes, and six shooters scored eight NRA All-America honors.

WVU also won its fourth straight GARC title. Zublasing was named the GARC Shooter and Senior of the Year, and Spurgeon earned the GARC Rookie of the Year honor.

A season that was built on momentum, WVU went 11-1 overall, earned its first No. 1 CRCA ranking in over a decade, had seven student-athletes garner NRA All-America honors, improved its GARC standing and finished second at the league championship, captured the nation’s air rifle championship and won the aforementioned NCAA title.

For his efforts all season, Hammond earned his first CRCA Coach of the Year honor.

2009-12 Seasons

Following the national championships, six Mountaineers earned eight NRA All-America honors, including first team air rifle and smallbore marks for Zublasing, while Hammond was named the NRA

Hammond made a name for himself in the coaching ranks in 2009, as he took a young, rising WVU squad to the NCAA Championships and returned with the program’s 14th trophy.

Additionally, Hammond’s squad was strong at the 2009 GARC Championship, as Tommy Santelli finished first overall, second in air rifle and fifth in smallbore. In total, WVU had seven top-10 finishes between the two disciplines.

Hammond was named the CRCA Coach of the Year, his second career honor. WVU scored 12 NRA All-America honors, including seven combined firstteam accolades.

The team, boasting a 12-2 record, including a 5-1 mark in conference action, advanced to the NCAA Championships for the sixth straight season and placed sixth. Zublasing won the air rifle title, becoming the second Mountaineer to win the discipline title in as many years. As a team, WVU finished second in air rifle and eighth in smallbore.

The Early Years

The Mountaineers’ 2009 national-title run was especially noteworthy given the pressure the team overcame. After a poor smallbore showing on the championships’ first day, WVU found itself in sixth place. Hammond’s team regrouped and put forth a strong air rifle showing, with all four competitors finishing in the top 10.

Zublasing was instrumental in securing WVU’s victory, as she swept the individual titles and earned the tag as the CRCA Shooter of the Match. She became the first shooter to win both NCAA titles at one championship since 2001, and the second WVU student-athlete to win three career national titles in any sport.

Tasked with maintaining the Mountaineers’ level of success with a young team recovering from the loss of seven seniors, Hammond rose to the challenge in 2011-12. Nationally ranked in the top three all year, WVU bounced back from a regular-season loss to Kentucky to grab its third straight GARC title.

SEASON PREVIEW

Coming off yet another championship campaign that saw the Mountaineers capture their leaguebest 14th Great American Rifle Conference (GARC) title, WVU rifle coach Jon Hammond is looking to build off the team’s 7-1 campaign from last season and set the team’s sights on consistent improvement. West Virginia is seeking to claim its nation-best 20th NCAA Rifle Championship in 2021-22.

On his outlook for the team and bouncing back after a weird 2020-21 season “I think it is definitely going to be nice shooting and competing in both semesters and getting back to some type of normal season schedule. I suppose half of our team has not experienced that with being sophomores and freshmen, but I think for myself and (assistant coach) Soren (Butler), getting that normality back and being able to do the things we want to do as coaches. Being able to get them that match experience that they really need to have to compete for a national championship at the end of the year. We are excited to get things moving. It feels like the weeks are going pretty fast, and before long, we are going to have our

JARED EDDY

first match of the season, (our) first road trip. I am just excited to see how the team starts competing not only in matches but also with themselves and each other.”

to the NCAA Championships. I think, for us, we’re not swimming where you need to maintain that physical repetition, and we can take that mental break and it be a good thing.”

On what the break between fall and spring does for the team

On the 2021-22 roster

“I think it’s a good mental break. It is almost a little bit longer sometimes, because we don’t have a college match after Thanksgiving break, and it’s such a short amount of time to come back as students to finish class. Those couple weeks are important for us to still do some good training and work on some things, but I think three weeks over Christmas is often, at the end of a long fall semester, 100% needed. They need it for the mental break more than anything. They need a break from school and even a little bit of the physical break. It’s normally a positive thing, and if they have done the right training and enough of it, the muscle memory comes back pretty quick once we start the spring. I think the timings are important, such as when we have a match afterwards, and when we come back, how much training we do. Ultimately, a few days here or there aren’t going to make a huge difference eight weeks later when you get

“I think it looks good. I think, like last year, it’s one of our strongest rosters, 1-10, that we have had in a long time. Of the nine returners, eight of them were All-Americans last year, which is pretty impressive. I think that we had conference honors for the other. Now, (freshman) Natalie (Perrin) comes in as one of the top juniors in the country right now and is a U.S. futures team member. In a couple weeks, she is going to Peru to compete at the World Junior’s Championships. She is going to add some more strengths and depth to the squad as well. I think we are excited for that and excited to see who out of the 10 raises their game and is able to take more strides forward in their performances from this year to last year.”

On the 2021-22 schedule “I think it’s good. We’ve got some exciting road trips, and that’s one thing we missed last year. I think when you don’t get to travel with the team, not just competing, but especially the road trips, they build those extra bonds and have those experiences. We are excited for that first trip right out of the gate competing against Ole Miss who, obviously, beat us last year at NCAA’s and has a very competitive team, so that’s going to be fun. A doubleheader on the road, initially. We are going down to NC State, which we have not been to for a long time. Another new venue over in Indiana to meet TCU at a neutral venue. (We have) some good home matches in there as well. I wouldn’t say it’s overly busy. It’s a typical fall schedule for us. A couple doubleheader weekend which presents an extra challenge to the team members just in the endurance of shooting the matches back-to-back. We want to challenge them, ultimately. So, for myself and Soren, I think it’s a good-looking schedule where we have a couple doubleheaders that are going to challenge them. Our first match right out of the gate is against a top-10 (opponent), and near the end of the fall semester, again one of the other top teams in the country in TCU and meeting them at a neutral venue, but also a new venue to all of our team members. Giving them new places to compete is important and competing against top teams is important. I think it’s going to challenge them, and that is going to put us in a good position for the spring.”

WVUSPORTS.COM

On his outlook for the 2021-22 postseason, including the GARC and NCAA Championships “We have a couple more home matches in the spring, which will be nice, including the NCAA qualifiers with, still, road trips in there. Having a conference championship in-person will be great again. Again, half of our team has not experienced that, so I think that will be valuable experience for them leading into the NCAA Championships. (We have) a good handle of conference matches in the

2021-22

spring as well. Then, we will finish it up with NCAA Championships in a new venue right now.”

On what he is looking for from this team this year “We want to see them work hard. We want to just see growth, growth as individuals, as students, and obviously, as athletes as well. Like you said, our want is always to win National Championships, like everyone wants to do that. We are not in control of that. What we really want to see, and just our

SCHEDULE

goals for them, are to improve throughout the year, to work hard individually and to work hard as a group. We want to create and maintain a very positive and hard-working culture that we feel is what West Virginia rifle represents. Every year is a new group. This year, we’ve only lost one, and we’ve only added one, so the majority of personnel is the same, but the dynamic always changes a little bit. I think those pillars of hard work and support and them just striving to be the best versions of themselves is what we want to see.”

Dr. E. Gordon Gee is one of America’s most prominent higher education leaders, having helmed universities for more than three decades. In 2009, Time magazine named him one of the top 10 university presidents in the United States. Recently, the website Great Value Colleges named him the nation’s top university president. In 2014, Gee returned to West Virginia University, where his career as a university president began.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS/ASSOCIATE VP

SHANE LYONS

In his seventh year as the director of athletics at West Virginia University, Shane Lyons’ vison for the athletic program is crystal clear and working. 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. His open lines of communications have made him a popular role model for WVU athletes and coaches. His honest, fair and caring approach has energized an entire department, which has led to great 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. 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. Lyons’ 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, which is enhancing the student-athlete experience. From training, nutrition, medical and competitiveness, Lyons’ vision is for 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, West Virginia recorded its highest APR score ever at 985 and again finished higher than the national average. The overall athletics department GPA was its highest at 3.26 with 13 teams over a 3.0 GPA for the year. 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 department will assist with the formal opening of a new $45 million aquatic and track facility that will not only benefit WVU’s swimming and diving program, but also local high schools and the entire community. Among the Mountaineer highlights in the 2019 campaign were 43 All-Americans, 81 All-Conference performers, three conference championships, 159 Academic All-Conference selections, seven teams to the NCAA postseason, a fourthplace finish for the Heisman Trophy and 22 professional draft picks among all sports. In addition, Lyons’ department hosted for the first time in history both the NCAA Rifle Championships and the Big 12 golf championship as well as the NCAA baseball regionals for the first time since 1955. In total, WVU athletics hosted more than 160 events during the 2018-19 season. From 2015-18, he spearheaded and finished more than $100 million in fan enhancements to Milan Puskar Stadium and the WVU Coliseum, completed a second phase Coliseum renovations, bringing the arena up to current ADA seating code, and for the first-time ever, introduced a second video board to Milan Puskar Stadium to provide information and improve fan entertainment. Overseeing 18 varsity sports, a self-sustaining department budget of more than $93 million and 250 employees, under Lyons’ leadership, WVU athletics has implemented a Clinical and Sport Psychology unit with a full-time director and professional interns, added specialized learning assistants to the Student-Athlete Development unit and entered into a

partnership with WVU Medicine’s Neuroscience Department to assist in the training and recovery of student-athletes, all emphasizing his overall commitment to the well-being and performance of Mountaineer student-athletes. Ask him and he’ll tell you it’s not his department, but West Virginia’s department, and he can tell you his vision to improve it not only for the coming year, but for three, five, seven and 10 years down the road. He cares, and the proof lies in what he has already accomplished in four years. The director hates to be last, and he rolls up his sleeves every day to make sure WVU is not last in anything. Additionally, his work with WVU President E. Gordon Gee’s senior leadership team, as well as the Big 12 Conference and other national committees, has brought additional respect and positive exposure to his department and the University. He currently serves on the Big 12 Administration Committee, Finance and Budget Committee and the Game Management and Officiating Subcommittee. In 2018, he chaired the overall athletic directors committee for the Big 12, was named again to the NCAA Division I Council and will serve as chair of the NCAA Division I Football Oversight Committee. He is also a member of the college football competition committee and locally serves on the board of directors for Mylan Park in Morgantown. Lyons came to West Virginia after spending three years as the deputy director of athletics and chief operating officer at Alabama where he worked closely on day-to-day strategic leadership and direction of the Crimson Tide Athletic program. During his time at Alabama, his responsibilities included oversight of a $120 million budget, management of the day-to-day operations of the department and oversight of the Crimson Tide’s 21 sports teams. In addition, he played a pivotal role in a historic renegotiation of Alabama’s multimedia rights agreement that started in 2014 and was involved in several significant capital projects totaling more than $85 million. The Crimson Tide won seven national titles in five different sports during his time there – two in football, two in men’s golf, one in women’s golf, one in gymnastics and one in softball. He also played a critical role in the hiring of four Alabama head coaches. Prior to joining the Alabama staff in November 2011, Lyons spent 10 years as an associate commissioner at the Atlantic Coast Conference. At the ACC, Lyons focused on conference-wide compliance and academic initiatives, providing direct assistance to the conference’s presidents, chancellors and athletics directors in matters dealing with NCAA regulatory matters. In addition, he served as the ACC’s human resource manager and was responsible for the administration, negotiation and mediation of the employee benefits program and managing the conference’s organizational policies and procedures. He was part of the senior administrative team for ACC events, including the football championship game, the men’s basketball tournament and men’s and women’s NCAA basketball events. Prior to working at the ACC, Lyons served as associate athletics director for compliance at Big 12 member Texas Tech from 1998 to 2001. During that time, Lyons assumed responsibility for the leadership, administration and implementation of a comprehensive NCAA compliance program with emphasis toward rules education and extensive moni-

He also served as oversight administrator for several of the Red Raiders’ athletic teams and had financial and operational supervision of the strength and conditioning, nutritional and sports medicine units. Before joining Texas Tech, Lyons worked at the NCAA for almost 10 years as a senior membership services representative, where he was responsible for the oversight and coordination of rules and interpretations for the 25 membership service representatives and was the staff liaison to various NCAA standing committees. Lyons began his career in college athletics in July 1988 as assistant commissioner of the Big South Conference. With the Big South, he was in charge of conference-wide compliance and championships. A native of Parkersburg, West Virginia, and a graduate of Parkersburg High, Lyons was a standout basketball player for the Big Reds. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in sport management from WVU in 1987 and 1988, respectively. Lyons, the University’s 12th athletic director, and his wife, Emily, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, have two children: Cameron and Brooke. Cameron is a member of the football team at Akron and Brooke attends Morgantown High School.
