ATHLETICS FACILITIES 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. They will be hosting the NCAA Rifle Championships again in 2025. The WVU Rifle Range, which is now used as the team’s day-to-day practice venue, reflects the longterm 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. In 2021, West Virginia University opened its new Varsity Sports Performance Center at the WVU Coliseum Sports Complex. The Performance Center is the home for strength and conditioning, training, rehabilitation and nutrition for all WVU Olympic sport programs. More than 400 studentathletes benefit from the center, which enhances WVU’s commitment to compete at a national level.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

Hammond was named the Rifle Winter 2015 CaptainU Coach of the Year for the second straight season.

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.

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.

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 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.

Posting an 11-2 overall record and a 5-1 conference mark, the Mountaineers successfully defended their GARC title and swept the air rifle and smallbore titles. WVU was the first conference team to repeat as champions since Nebraska (2006, ’07). Campriani, the individual air rifle, smallbore and combined score champion, was named the GARC Shooter and Senior of the Year. Hammond coached a talented, upperclassmen squad to an 11-0 record in 2010, the team’s first undefeated season since 2001, and a GARC regular-season title. The Mountaineers followed their unblemished regular season with a win at the GARC Championship and a sweep of the discipline titles. The victory was the program’s fourth overall and first since 2000. At his first GARC Championship, transfer Campriani won the smallbore, air rifle and combined score titles, and the Mountaineers earned 18 All-GARC honors, including eight first-team awards. Hammond was named the GARC Coach of the Year, his second distinction in three seasons. WVU concluded the 2010 campaign with a third-place finish at the NCAA Championships; the Mountaineers, ranked No. 1 in the nation for most of the season, finished third in smallbore and fifth in air rifle. WVU placed two in the smallbore finals, and following the championships, seven student-athletes earned 12 All-America honors.

THE EARLY YEARS

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. 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. 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.

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. For his efforts all season, Hammond earned his first CRCA Coach of the Year honor. In only his second year as head coach, Hammond led the 2007-08 rifle squad to an 8-3 record, a third-place finish at the GARC Championship and a sixth-place standing at the NCAA Championships, the Mountaineers’ first appearance in six seasons. Hammond guided five Mountaineers to NRA smallbore All-America honors that season and also earned individual recognition, as he was named the GARC Coach of the Year and listed as the 2008 NRA Distinguished College Coach. Hammond took over the Mountaineer rifle program upon the retirement of long-time coach Marsha Beasley in 2006. That season, he guided the 2006-07 team to its first winning record (6-4) since 2003.

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS

A strong proponent for achievement at the range and in the classroom, Hammond’s shooters have proven to be well-rounded student-athletes. Since his arrival in the fall of 2006, 99 Mountaineers have earned a spot on the annual CRCA All-Academic Honor List, including a program-best eight student-athletes in 2015, 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2021. The Mountaineers also have been well represented on the annual CoSIDA Academic All-America At-Large Teams, with at least one student-athlete earning an honor in 12 of the last 13 seasons. Gratz became the first Mountaineer to earn two career first-team accolades, as she was named to the Women’s At-Large First Team in 2017 and 2018. Five different Mountaineers have claimed firstteam honors. In 2020, Koenders earned his second straight Academic All-America honor, landing on the men’s first team after receiving third team recognition the year before. Gratz also was honored by the NCAA in her final two seasons, as she won back-to-back NCAA Elite 90 Award honors, the program’s first recognitions. The award is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA’s championships. In 2019, 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. During the 2020-21 campaign, Zaisberger became

WVUSPORTS.COM the fourth Mountaineer to win the NCAA Elite 90 Award since 2011-12, after achieving a 4.0 gradepoint average.

Four Mountaineers competed at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics, including 2016 NCAA champion Thrasher, who won the first Gold medal of the games with a victory for the United States in the women’s 10m air rifle. Additionally, Campriani pushed his individual Olympic medal count to four with Gold-Medal showings in the men’s 10m air rifle and 50m rifle 3 positions. He previously won Gold in the men’s 50m 3 positions and silver in the men’s 10m air rifle at the 2012 London Summer Olympics.

Responsible for restoring the glory and tradition to the storied WVU rifle program, Hammond has recruited not only elite athletes to compete in the Old Gold and Blue, but he also has continued to teach and foster his team’s talents, so each student-athlete is a stronger competitor upon graduation. Athletic accolades and recognitions go hand-in-hand with such advancements.

In 2021, Molly McGhin competed for Team USA at the ISSF World Championships, where she brought home a gold medal in the three positions event at the women’s team junior finals. McGhin also won a silver medal in the mixed team, 50-meter rifle prone event.

WVU PRESIDENT

E. GORDON GEE, J.D., ED.D

Dr. E. Gordon Gee is one of America’s most prominent higher education leaders, having helmed universities for more than four 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. His leadership goals include putting students first, advancing the university’s research agenda, partnering with West Virginia communities and making sure that 1.8 million West Virginians know in their hearts and minds that West Virginia University is their university. Born in Vernal, Utah, Gee graduated from the University of Utah with an honors degree in history and earned his J.D. and

Laurie Erickson and E. Gordon Gee

Lewis of the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals before being named a judicial fellow and staff assistant to the U.S. Supreme Court.

WVU VICE PRESIDENT/DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

WREN BAKER

West Virginia University President E. Gordon Gee named Wren Baker as WVU’s Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics on Nov. 30, 2022. WVU’s 13th director of athletics came to Morgantown from the University of North Texas, where he had been the associate vice president and athletics director since 2016. With previous stops at Missouri, Memphis, Northwest Missouri and Rogers State, Baker brought more than 20 years of experience to WVU. Baker has oversight of 18 varsity sports, a department budget of more than $90 million, approximately 250 employees and nearly 500 student-athletes. In his first year at West Virginia, Baker has hit the ground running and has never looked back. He has traveled the state to learn its culture, met Mountaineer fans from all over the world, fundraised for his department, addressed budget concerns, put his touches on a new premium club space at the Coliseum and even hired coaches in women’s and men’s basketball. While he is a native Oklahoman, he has certainly been adopted as the newest Mountaineer by West Virginia fans. As an athletics director, he has now led 20 head coaching searches, and his hires have a combined 75% winning percentage. At North Texas, seven Mean Green programs (men’s cross country, volleyball, women’s soccer, football, men’s basketball, women’s golf and softball) combined to win 17 conference or division championships during Baker’s tenure, and the overall athletics department’s winning percentage in the last year was the best in the modern era. In 2019, every Mean Green team achieved a winning season for the first time in school history. UNT also reached new heights in the classroom under Baker’s leadership, posting its top APR scores and four consecutive department Graduation Success Rate (GSR) records. For the first time ever, every Mean Green team recorded a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher with the Spring 2022 department GPA hitting a 3.206 average. Baker led record fundraising years at North Texas as the school registered its four best fundraising years in its history, and the overall top five largest gifts ever at UNT came under Baker’s leadership. He guided North Texas athletics to a school record for fundraising in a single year, nearly doubling the previous department record. UNT ticket revenue increased by 125% under Baker, and football attendance grew by 71%, while men’s and women’s basketball crowds grew by more than 60%. Additional achievements at North Texas included a five-year strategic plan, new 20-year

facilities master plan and lucrative contracts for multimedia rights, licensing, apparel and equipment. Baker also led the charge to renovate eight different UNT athletic facilities, while spearheading the design and fundraising for three new facilities including a track and field/soccer stadium, golf practice facility and an indoor practice building. One of the biggest moments in the history of North Texas Athletics came under his watch, when UNT was invited to join the American Athletic Conference beginning in July 2023. Prior to North Texas, Baker was the deputy director of athletics at Missouri from 2015 to 2016, serving as the top advisor and chief of staff. He was responsible for assisting with all aspects of administration and led the external unit, helping Mizzou to a record fundraising year. He also served as the interim director of athletics at Missouri before moving on to North Texas. Before Missouri, he spent time at Memphis from 2013-15 as deputy athletics director. He secured the largest gift in the university’s history as Memphis posted its best fundraising year ever. While setting a school record for fundraising, major gifts and multimedia rights revenue, Baker also grew Memphis’ scholarship fund, was the sport administrator for men’s basketball and worked closely with football during a two-year run that included the Tigers’ first conference championship in football in more than four decades. From 2011-13, Baker was athletics director at NCAA Division II power Northwest Missouri State, where he secured the largest gift in the

athletics department’s history for improvements to the football stadium. Under Baker, Northwest Missouri saw its revenues increase by 60%, and he hired head football coach Adam Dorrel, who led the Bearcats to three consecutive national championships. From 2006-11, Baker served as the first athletics director at Rogers State in Claremore, Oklahoma, where he was also the school’s first men’s basketball coach. His team went 20-11 in his only season at the helm, and RSU teams combined to post a nearly 70% winning percentage despite being a start-up athletic program. During his tenure, Baker developed a full-scale collegiate athletics program. In 2005, he was the principal and athletics director for Valliant Public Schools and, at age 26, was the youngest principal in Oklahoma history. Originally fom Valliant, Oklahoma, Baker earned his bachelor’s degree in education from Southeastern Oklahoma State in 2001 where he was a member of the honors program. He went on to earn his master’s degree in education leadership from Oklahoma State in 2003. While at Oklahoma State, Baker was a graduate assistant and basketball operations assistant for the Cowboys’ men’s basketball program under legendary head coach Eddie Sutton. During Baker’s time with OSU, the Cowboys posted a 102-30 record, reaching four NCAA tournaments, and advanced to the 2004 Final Four and the 2005 Sweet Sixteen. Baker and his wife, Heather, a Bokchito, Oklahoma, native, have two daughters, Addisyn and Reagan.
