Fresh faces to be relied on heavily in 2011

Sprints A deep group runs sprints for the Lady Tigers this season, including NCAA Regional qualifier Lashundra Kershaw. Kershaw was within three tenths of a second from qualifying for the NCAA Championships and will certainly try everything possible to become the seventh Lady Tiger in school history to reach the the NCAA Championships. Kershaw won’t have to do all the heavy lifting in the sprints, with five classmates able to pick up the slack. In addition to Kershaw, Tayanna Simpson and LaBrittney Horton, both of whom took medical redshirts in 2010, and will be counted on to contribute to the Tiger team score. Two other seniors returns to buoy the already potent line-up, with Dineen Kirk and Desiree’ Blow on hand after strong junior seasons. Blow saw action in seven sprint events last season, while Kirk has a second place finish in the 200-meter dash at the ASU Kickoff Classic to her credit. Underclassmen Vivian Haynes and Holly Joiner have the chance to learn from a veteran group as well as continuing to contribute to the team scores. Joiner, specifically, will be counted on to contiunue her success from 2010, wher she earned points for the Lady Tigers on four occasions. Quaniqua Jones, Holland Thomas, Keyona Neal, Taynna Simpson and Kyosha Yarbrough all

2011 Tiger’s Track

or a 2010 season that began with such great promise, it ended wtih a harsh dose of reality for the women’s track and field team. After beginning the season with visions of the program’s first-ever Conference USA title in women’s track and field, the Lady Tigers limped to the finish line, finishing eleventh at the Conference USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships and 11th out of 12 squads during the Indoor Championships. 2011 offers hope that this will be the season the women’s team brings home a championship. That hope begins with senior sprinter LaShundra Kershaw, who finished less than three tenths of a second shy of qualifying for the NCAA Championships in the 100- and 200-meter dashes during outdoor season. Kershaw returns as the only Lady Tiger who qualified for the NCAA Regional in 2010. Most of the 2011 squad returns, with only two seniors moving on. Tayanna Simpson and LaBrittney Horton, who were se-

Britta Jaarats

niors last season, both took medical redshirts and will be back with the Lady Tigers in 2011. Thrower Karmyn Clark and shot putter Angela Wisley are the only seniors gone from last season’s squad. Among the returning Lady Tigers who will be counted on in 2011, sophomore Kirsten Berding definitely has the highest expectations. Berding won two high jump titles (one indoor, one outdoor) and finished in the top-eight eight times in the high jump as a freshman. Senior Holland Thomas finished outside the top-eight just twice in 12 outdoor hurdle races in 2010, including a fourth-place finish in the 400-meter hurdles at the Conference USA Championships at a season-best 1:01.49 mark. A trio of freshmen distance runners will be counted on to put the Lady Tiger distance program back on the map. Jenny Johnston, Ellen Kildal and Ida Fillingsnes each had productive starts to their respective careers during cross country season. Freshmen Laura Toldy and Anna Bischof are also expected to be early contributors.

participated in sprints in 2010 and will again contribute in 2011. Freshman Ida Fillingsnes and sophomore Monica Mason will each be a contributor in the sprints in 2011 and will have ample opportunity to represent the blue-and-gray.

with a 2:19.50 mark. She hopes to challenge Lingley for the number two spot behind Darden. Vivian Haynes competed three times for the Lady Tigers in 2010 and will have more chances in 2011.

Hurdles Though not as deep as it has been in the past, the phrase ‘quality over quantity’ defines the hurdlers this season, as a group of seasoned veterans will take the track. Seniors Desiree Blow, Deneen Kirk, Tayanna Simpson and Holland Thomas bring their wealth of experience back to the team, each with an eye on capping their college career with an all-Conference USA performance in El Paso. Thomas is the undisputed leader of the group after a fourth-place finish in the 400-meter hurdles at the C-USA Championships with a career-best 1:01.49 mark for her first career allC-USA bid. She set career-best marks in the 60, 100 and 400-meter hurdles as a junior. Quaniqua Jones enjoyed a successful first season at Memphis, but scoring points for the Tigers won’t be enough this season. Jones will be a large piece of the 2011 puzzle and a complement to Thomas. Junior Vivian Haynes will also be among others competing in the hurdles for the U of M.

Distance Two seasoned Lady Tigers return in distance running in 2011 for Memphis, while a host of capable freshmen will be counted on to provide a boost for the team. Junior Jasmine Darden and sophomore Louisa Lingley moved up during the 2010 season to provide more depth last season and were veteran presences to this year’s cross country team. The duo did manufacture significant results in 2010, including a fourth-place finish from Lingley and a fifth from Darden in the SIU McDonalds Invite. Taking their first crack at collegiate track and field will be freshmen Carrie Connor, Ida Flillingsnes, Alyssa Fitch, Laura Hill, Jenny Johnston, Ellen Kildal, Meagan Nichols and Nandia Taylor. Kildal, Johnston and Fillingsnes had especially good seasons in cross country and will look for that to carry over into the track and field season. Johnston, from Middle Island New York, and the Norwegian-born Kildal each had top-10 finishes in their first season of cross country as part of the Memphis squad.

Middle Distance An assortment of Lady Tigers make up the middle distances, with some either moving up from sprints or down from distance to compete. Junior Jasmine Darden and sophomores Louisa Lingley and Keyona Neal compete specifically in middle distance, with Darden being the leader of the group in 2010. Darden earned points five times for the Tigers in 2010, including a second-place finish in the 800-meter run at the RedHawk Invite, a 2:28.59 second run. She almost broke the 2:20 mark at the Memphis Tigers Invitational, finishing fifth with a 2:20.6 run. Meanwhile, the English-bred Lingley turned in two top-eight marks in her first season as a Tiger. Robinson hopes she and Darden are combined force for Memphis in the middle distances. Neal was the surprise winner of the 800-meter run at the Joey Haines Invitational in 2010,

Shot put Shot put, a position that has propelled the Memphis Lady Tigers program to great heights in the past, will undoubtedly do so again. Although senior thrower Marina Vojinovic is a solid thrower who finished fourth in the shot at the C-USA Championships in 2010, she wasn’t quite on the level of former All-Americans Susan King and Gail Lee who, from 2006-08, kept the Conference USA shot put championship in the Bluff City. In 2009, Vojinovic qualified for the NCAA Championships and may have last season had she not been derailed by injury. When at full strength, Vojinovic is one of the best in the conference and will have one final chance to qualify for the NCAA’s in her final season in the blue-and-gray. Departed senior Karmyn Clarke, who was also an all-C-USA perfomer in the shot put last

2011 Wome Tr ra ac ck k a an nd d FF ii e e lld d Preview 2 0n1’ 1s T season, leaves the program as a four-time allconference athlete in the shot put and the hammer throw. That hole will be filled by a host of newcomers. Freshmen Anna-Marie Bischof, Allison Hotz, Samantha Legleiter and Cyarra Wells each are accomplished shot putters, highlighted by Legleiter, the two-time state champion in Kansas, and three-time Tennessee championship contender Hotz, from nearby St. Benedict at Auburndale. Wells was also the 2009 state champion in Kentucky. Redshirt frosh Britta Jaarats will also compete in the shot put as she makes her way back into competition from her ACL injury in 2009-10. Weight Throw Vojinovic is the only returning weight thrower for the Lady Tigers; this will be another area where Clarke will be missed, as she was the team leader last season with a 16.91 meter throw in the RedHawk Invite. Angela Wigley graduated and took four years experience with her, making the throwing events, especially the weight throw, thinner than they already were. A fully-healed Vojinovic will make a signifi cant difference in the Lady Tigers fortunes in the weight throw, as well as the devlopment of any of the young throwers that Coach Robinson is likely to try to convert into weight throwers, such as Hotz, Wells and possibly Legleiter. Jaarats may also compete in the weight throw as she rehabs from injury. Discus No returning U of M athletes will take the field in the discus in 2011. New blood will be looking to make its mark early for Memphis, including Legleiter, who is a dangerous competitor in the discus, as well as freshman Cyarra Wells.

Multi-Events Three Lady Tigers stepped in to become competitors in the pentathlon and heptathlon in 2010, and will continue to give the U of M strong performances in the multis in the upcoming season. Blow has twice competed in the Conference USA Championships in the heptathlon, finishing just out of an all-conference position both times. She put up a career-best 4,413 points at the 2010 Championships, better than 200 points above her score at the 2009 Conference Championships. As such a versatile athlete, she will also be assigned to the pentathlon during outdoor season whenever possible. Haynes made her pentathlon debut in 2010, finishing sixth at the ASU Invitational. She earned her first trip to the C-USA championships in the pentathlon, where she finished 14th. Haynes will undoubtedly have more opportunities in 2011 to demonstrate her versatility. Kirk is also an option in the multis for Coach Robinson in 2011. Kirk and Haynes are both strong, fast and talented individuals who the Tigers will rely on in a myriad of ways in 2011. Redshirt freshman Britta Jaarats is a natural multi-event performer, and will be counted on to make a big impact in a short time. Jaarats sat out last season after injuries cut her training short but is primed and ready for the 2011 season to get under way. Early on, Jaarats will most likely be limited to throwing events until Coach Robinson feels she is ready for the rigorous training needed to return to the multi events.

2011 Tiger’s Track

Jumps Five returners in the jumps gives the Lady Tigers a dearth of experience that the rest of the field events can’t boast. Berding was an all-conference performer on the strength of her 1.64 meter (5-04.50) jump at the C-USA Championships. She earned two victories (one indoor, one outdoor) in 2010 and seems primed for many more during her next few seasons. Haynes was a 10-time top-eight finisher in the high jump, with a season-best 1.62 meter (503.75) jump; unfortunately, she couldn’t put it all together in the conference championships, posting 15th and 16th-place finishes. She gets the chance to redeem herself this season and will make the most of every opportunity. Blow was top-eight three times in 2010 and topped out with a 5.21 meter (17-01.25) jump at the jump at the ASU Kickoff Classic. During indoor events, Kirk was in the topeight in the long jump four times, including a firstplace finish at the ASU Invitational. She will need to be a key contributor in a field event the Lady Tigers need to have a solid balance in during 2011. Yarborough won the triple jump and was fourth in the long jump at the ASU Kickoff Classic that opened the indoor season, but was ineligible following the first semester. She competed unattached in the spring and will return to the Tigers in 2011, although not until outdoor season after redshirting during indoor season. With so many returning athletes in the jumps, only one newcomer will be participating in jumps this season. Freshman Laura Toldy will be a welcome addition to the stable of jumpers and will begin her career in the high jump for the Lady Tigers.

Deneen Kirk

Javelin At least one throwing event won’t be starting from scratch. The javelin throw has multiple athletes with competition experience returning in 2011. Sophomore Kirsten Berding, who came to Memphis as a jumper, demonstrated her versatility during outdoor season, when she placed fourth in the javelin at the Joey Haines Invitational with a 37.63 meter (123-05) throw. Sophomore Alyssa Northcutt enjoyed a strong freshman season in the pole vault, but was another nice surprise in the javelin and will

Pole Vault The Lady Tigers return two experienced pole vaulters in 2011 and have high hopes that their development will be enhanced by experience and competition with one another. Junior Brittany Brewster and Northcutt put up similar numbers in 2010 and one or both will need to make a significant jump in production in 2011 to compete and complement Gale’s efforts. Northcutt has a high upside, winning the Kansas 5A state championship as a high school senior. She showed flashes of those skills during her freshman season at the U of M. Brewster’s experience and the opportunities she got to learn under and train with former Tiger pole vaulting stars Ashton Baldwin and Whitney Bolton may give her an edge over Northcutt in 2011. Freshman Janelle Mason was a national competitor at Butler Community College in Kansas and was an eight-time state championship placer at Scott Community High School. She will be looked to as a solid complementary piece behind Brewster and Northcutt for the season.

2011 Tiger’s Track

Hammer THrow The departure of Clarke and Wigley also leaves a hole in the hammer throw. Wigley, who won the event at the Memphis Tigers Invitational in 2010, was a fierce competitor; her fire and competitive edge will be missed. As for Clarke, though she finished a disappointing 14th in the hammer throw in her final Conference USA championship, her experience provided veteran leadership that can’t be replaced by freshmen. Vojinovic, though not a natural at the hammer throw, will get a chance to show what she can do in the event as the lone upperclassman returning. All freshmen are sure to get an opportunity to try their respective hands at the hammer throw in an effort to find some support for Vojinovic.

get more chances to be a dual-threat for the Lady Tigers in the future. Blow, the hurdler, also had two attempts at the javelin in 2010 and hopes to have more opportunities this season. Of the freshmen, only Bischof, the German native, has any measured success in javelin, as a multiple-time regional winner in Fritzlar, Germany.

Year 1 A.N.: After Nerdal

Sprints The Tigers sprinters are predominately made up of successful athletes who excel in other events. All-region hurdlers Richard Lowe and Robert Jackson each contributed during sprints, with Lowe earning six top-five’s and two victories (Joey Haines Invitational and ASU Invitational) in 2010. Senior Darius Anderson returns following a hamstring injury that robbed him of most of his outdoor season last year. The threee-time all CUSA performer should be fully healed in time for the beginning of the indoor season. The Tigers return senior Frashad Barlow, who is a three-time all-Conference USA performer...just not for anything that happened in 2010. Robinson hopes he will return to the form that made him so successful in his first two seasons at the U of M, before missing last season. Junior Alex Sweet competed in sprints dur-

2011 Tiger’s Track

fter a disappointing 2010 season that saw the Tigers drop to fifth in the indoor season and sixth during outdoor, the Memphis men’s track and field team will have big expectations to fulfill heading into 2011. The graduation of Steffen Nerdal, who was a four-time All-American during his time at U of M, is a sore blow to a program that depended on Nerdal’s steady performance in 2010. Fortunately for the Tigers, only five seniors graduated from last seasons squad, and 11 seniors will be with the team to pick up the slack from Nerdal, throwers Seth Major and Harding Zills, pole valter Brian Prackett and sprinter and hurdler Marvin Stewart departures. With so much returning talent, head coach Kevin Robinson expects his program to return to the sort of heights the 2007 squad accomplished when they won the C-USA Outdoor Track and Field title. It begins with senior Richard Lowe (hurdles) and junior Robert Jackson (hurdles), both of whom have been NCAA qualifiers in the past. Lowe finished 20th in the 400-meter hurdles at the 2010 NCAA Outdoor Championships, at 52.58 seconds. Jackson also participated in the 2010 Outdoor Championships, running the 110-meter hurdles in 14.00 seconds for 18th place, the fifth-lowest mark by a freshman or sophomore in the field. Senior jumper Jerome Leslie also comes back after a strong regional in 2010, where he tied for 33rd in the high jump with a 2.01 meter (6-07.00) jump. Senior thrower Knut Syversen, a two-time regional qualifier in

Robert Jackson

the shot put and hammer throw, will have one final chance to make an NCAA Championship in 2010 after missing in 2009 in the hammer throw (58.98 meters, 17th). Syversen will also will look to regain the form that made him a 2009 NCAA Outdoor Regional qualifier in the shot put, where he placed 18th with a 16.42 meter (53-10.50) throw. Junior pole vaulter Karlis Pujats got his feet wet at the 2010 Regional, shattering his school record with a 5.20 meter (17-00.75) vault and capping off a successful first season with the U of M. In addition to those with who have competed on the national stage, several returning Tigers have earned all-Conference USA honors in the past. Four seniors (Darius Anderson, Frashod Barlow, Guy Hudson and Darrell Lewis) return with all-conference honors to their credit, while three sophomores (Abdi Guleed, Edwin Kipkorir and Brieuc Vandeleene) and one junior (Alex Sweet) have also tasted conference glory as a member of the blue and gray. Several of last season’s freshman will strive to take the reins from some of the veteran athletes this season. Pole vaulter Nate Arnold and throwers Andrew Miller and Tom Wilcox will be counted on to assist Pujats and Syversen in filling the voids left by Nerdal and Prackett. An impressive group of newcomers will look to make their marks on the season, as well as reinforce the skills of the veterans. Early indications point to distance runner James Maglasang, thower Casey Carl and Savvas Arestis as becoming significant scorers early for Memphis.

ing the indoor season and can step in as needed in 2011. Sophomore Stephan Ender and senior Darrell Lewis earned chances in the sprints last season and will also get shots in 2011. Incoming freshmen D’Ernest Rucker and Brandon Williams are out of the same mold: successful athletes in other events who happen to run sprints. Newcomer Jaz Davis is more of a natural sprinter who, if he develops quickly, may allow Lowe or Jackson to concentrate more on the hurdles. Hurdles The biggest strength of the program in 2011, Lowe, a senior, and Jackson, a junior, look to build on the performances that propelled them to the NCAA Championships in the hurdles. Lowe has now qualified for the Championships twice, including setting a school record in the 400-meter hurdles at the 2010 NCAA Regionals, using his 50.79 second run to stamp his ticket to Eugene, Ore. Jackson, now a two-time all-C-USA performer, joined former Tigers Terron Wright and Daniel Kiss as the only Tigers to qualify for the 110-meter hurdles at the NCAA’s. Anderson came back from injury in time to participate in the 110-meter hurdles in the C-USA Outdoor Championships. His continued recovery can give the Tigers a triple threat when combined with Lowe and Jackson. Sweet produced four top-five finishes, including runner-ups at the Joey Haines Invitational and the Memphis Tiger Invitational, and will push Anderson to return at full strength. Senior Nick Harold and Lewis round out the returning hurdlers. Incoming freshman Darius Lynwood will try to emulate the upperclassmen and be as succesful out of the blocks as they have been.

Middle Distance A whopping seven middle distance contributors return in 2011, several of whom will train during the fall in cross country in hopes that the longer distance will translate to better runs in middle distance events during the spring. Senior Guy Hudson had the most productive 2010 season in middle distance, running his career total to four all-conference nods last season, finishing fifth in the indoor and seventh in the outdoor 800-meter run. Sophomore Abdi Guleed earned six topeight finishes in the 800-meter run, including an all-conference nod to end the outdoor season, finishing fourth in the event with a 1:53.38 mark. Ender will supplement Guleed and Hudson after a succesful 2010 season. Harold, sophomore Trent Scott and junior Robert Skinner will all see time in the middle distances at some point during the season. Harold earned two top-eight finishes in the 400-meter dash and could earn his first all-conference nod during his senior season. Skinner became a strong distance runner for coach Doug Clark during cross country season, developing into a strong No. 2 behind freshman James Maglasang. He will still have ample opportunities to contribute in the middle distances, while developing his abilities in the longer distances. Freshmen Darrik Turner and Brandon Williams will also compete in the middle distances for Memphis in 2011. Distance A significantly young group will grow up fast for the Tigers this year. Only Curtis Gibbs represents the upper class in what could be called a true ‘distance running’ capacity. Gibbs, from Franklin, Tenn., will rely on a host of youngsters to compete with and push him in training in his final year. Freshman James Maglasang proved his mettle in the fall cross country season and will need to have the same kind of success in dis-

2 0 1 1 m e n2 ’0s1 1T r d dF iFei l Ta rc ak c ka n an ed l dP r e v i e w tance events during track and field season. Maglasang won the Rhodes Invite, the Tigers’ first cross country victory in six years. Freshmen Justin Pinkston, Darrik Turner and Zach Turner are also expected to become significant contributors in the distance events in 2011.

Javelin Nate Arnold is the only returnee with any experience in the javelin. Arnold competed only twice in the event, but captured points both times for the Tigers, finishing fourth (Joey Haines Invitational) and fifth (Memphis Tigers Invitational) last season. Carl is the only experienced newcomer in javelin and will have to acclimate himself quickly to Division I track and field in order to give Arnold some help. Last season at Bethel, Carl was the Mid-South Conference Champion in the javelin.

Pole Vault Though Brian Prackett has left the program due to graduation, hope (and Tigers) will be in the air during the pole vault. Prackett was a five-time all-conference performer and a vital cog in the program during his four years in Memphis. Junior Karlis Pujats should be more than ca pable of replacing Prackett in terms of production and leadership. Pujats was a regional qualifier in outdoor season and won the C-USA Championship and set a school record with his 5.21 meter (17-01.00) during the indoor season. Arnold was also a successful pole vaulter as a freshman, earning points for the Tigers on six different occasions during the vault and finishing just shy of earning all-conference honors in both indoor (where he finished ninth overall) and outdoor (where he was 11th). Freshman Austin Crenshaw will also start working with the pole vaulters in 2011.

Hammer Throw Nerdal established a school record that should stand for quite some time, throwing a 70.00 meter (229-08) toss during the Memphis Tigers Invitational, one of five hammer throw victories for Nerdal in 2010. He ended his career at the NCAA Championships with a fourth-place finish, just short of his school record with a 69.86 meter (229-02) toss.

Multi-Event Preston Williams’ decision to leave the Tigers following his junior season leaves a hole in the U of M’s multi-events program. Lewis is the only returning Tiger who has experience in the multis; he competed twice in the heptathlon during 2010, including a 3,897 point attempt at the C-USA Championships, where he finished 11th.

2011 Tiger’s Track

Discus Nerdal repeated as conference champion

while Major finished runner-up, but after their departure the discus cupboard gets bare. Syversen only broke 50 meters once and fouled all three attempts at the conference championships, but he was an all-conference performer with the disc and has the ability to take the medal stand in 2010. Miller narrowly missed an all-conference nod as a freshman, finishing ninth with a 44.31 meter (145-04) throw. He will be counted on to fill some of the void left by Nerdal and Major. Arestis was fifth at the U-19 World Championships in 2005 in the discus and is a multiple time champion from Cyprus. Willcox didnt compete at the conference championships, but did compete in the discus twice as a freshman, including a seventh-place finish at the Rhodes Invitational with a 44.90 meter (140-09) throw. Incoming freshman Elijah Mahaley and sophomore Bethel transfer Casey Carl will also be considered for discus duties in 2011.

Weight Throw The weight throw was Nerdal’s crowning achievement in indoor season, and he dominated the event throughout his career, capping it off with a school-record 23.22 meter (76-02.25) toss at the NCAA Indoor Championships, where he was runner-up. The departed Zills was also an all-conference performer in the weight throw in 2010. Syversen is expected pick up right where Nerdal left off, with high expectations that he will represent Memphis in the 2011 Indoor Championships, following a runner-up to Nerdal in the 2010 C-USA Championships. Willcox had his personal-best weight throw of 16.12 meters (52-10.75) at the Conference USA Championship and looks to pick up where he left off in 2010. With a year of experience under his belt, Miller will expand his role on the 2011 squad. At least one of the newcomer group of Casey Carl, Hubber, Elijah Mahaley and Sipe will get the opportunity to compete in weight throw as a freshman.

Knut Syversen

jumps Only a couple of jumpers return in 2011, but they will have every opportunity to excel, given that they are the only veterans returning. Jerome Leslie, a six-time all-C-USA performer, earned two of those nods last season, with a seventh-place finish in the long jump during the indoor championships and a bronze medal and an NCAA Regional berth in the high jump during outdoor season. Leslie hopes to return to the regional and beyond in 2011. Darrell Lewis scored points six times during indoor and outdoor season and will try to replicate that success in 2011, hopefully to the tune of an all-conference honor. A large quantity of jumpers join the Tigers for 2011. Freshmen Darius Lynwood, D’Ernest Rucker and Matthew Sheppard will join Leslie and Lewis in the blue and gray this season. Rucker is a talent to watch out for as an accomplished jumper who hails from Jackson, Tenn.

2011 Tiger’s Track

Shot Put The throwing events are traditionally the backbone of the Tigers’ track and field program. Even after the departure of All-American Steffen Nerdal, Regional qualifier Seth Major and seventime all-conference performer Harding Zills, the throwers for this season’s Tiger squad should keep that tradition alive. Much will depend upon senior Knut Syversen, a two-time NCAA East Region qualifier. Syversen qualified for the regionals in the shot put in 2009 as the Conference USA Outdoor Champion and was second in the 2010 indoor championships, but fell to 12th during outdoor season. Syversen’s return to dominance will be a key to the 2011 season, as he will replace Major as the Tigers’ primary shot put threat. Sophomore Tom Willcox ascends to Syversen’s former role as No. 2 shot putter. Willcox proved a capable thrower in 2010, earning four top-eight finishes in five events. Sophomore Andrew Miller looks to make a significant leap in his second year in the Tigers program as well. Newcomer Savvas Arestis is being groomed as the next great thrower at the U of M; great things are expected of the Cypriot, beginning in 2011. His career-best marks during his prep days compare favorably to some of the higher marks during last season’s NCAA Outdoor seasonhighs. Freshman William Hubber, along with sophomore Matthew Sipe, are also part of the next generation of great throwers to pass through the U of M, and will learn what they can from Syversen and Robinson this year. Early indications are that both will redshirt and compete unattached in their first seasons at the U of M.

Though Syversen’s best throw remains almost thirty feet short of Nerdal’s, he is still a NCAA Regional qualifier and, entering his senior season, looking to imprint his legacy on U of M lore. Willcox and Miller both picked up valuable experience through being able to practice, train and compete with a talent like Nerdal. They will be able to replace some of his production in 2011. Hubber is also an accomplished performer in the hammer throw who will see time in 2011 and be a significant contributor after his redshirt season.

by won the triple jump at the conference indoor meet. Chen Edri broke three school records and earned the title of C-USA Female Freshman of the Year. Hyman put up a second-place finish in the outdoor triple jump and made her first trip to the NCAA Championships. Gail Lee qualified during outdoor season in 2006, but 2006 wasn’t as good to her as 2005; she finished 21st in the nation in the shot put at the outdoor championships. No athlete qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships, which hasn’t happened to the program since. In 2006, Robinson helped Erickson to a second-straight conference indoor title in the shot put and a school record in the indoor weight throw. Lee also made her second consecutive appearance in the shot put at the NCAA Championships. Sivan Aballi and Amaechi Oselukwue both earned second-place honors at the C-USA Championships. Robinson took over for both program’s in the summer of 2006 as the first dual coach in school history. While he had high expectations for that squad, he couldn’t have known the heights it would reach. The 2007 season has thus far been the penultimate season of Robinson’s coaching career, beginning with Lee’s second indoor all-American honor; her 16.49 meter (54-01.25) throw at the Randall Tyson Track Center at the Univ. of Arkansas at the outdoor championships propelled her to a sixth-place finish. The men’s track and field team won the program’s only C-USA track and field title, pulling off a stunning upset winning the trophy by 9.5 points over defending champion UTEP. Four Tigers (Willie Green, Steffen Nerdal, Amaechi Oselwuke and Brandon Winbush) won at least one outdoor title, and nine Tigers would go on to the NCAA Regionals. Nerdal advanced to his first NCAA Championship, earning the first of four AllAmerican nods. More success followed, especially in throw-

combined five individual C-USA titles and set five school records. In that same season, the Tigers produced three regional qualifiers in four events. Robinson also worked closely with Myklebust who was awarded the C-USA Male Outdoor Athlete of the Year honor. The Tigers continued to find success in Robinson’s second year as an assistant. After winning a second-straight conference Outdoor Athlete of the Year award and an NCAA MidEast Regional title, Myklebust placed fourth in the discus at the NCAA Championship. The finish was the highest-ever for a Memphis thrower and made Myklebust Memphis’ first All-American in more than 20 years. His 2004 campaign featured impressive performances by the jumpers. Lisa-Marie Hyman placed second in the triple jump at the conference meet, setting a Memphis record in the event. The field event athletes also set two other school records in the women’s heptathlon and the men’s pentathlon. Despite the incredible accomplishments during his first two years at Memphis, 2005 proved to be Robinson’s banner year. His athletes set six school records, won three C-USA titles and tallied four runner-up finishes, a C-USA Female Freshman of the Year honor and two NCAA Championship appearances. Thrower Gail Lee was responsible for many of those accomplishments, as she broke indoor records in both the shot put and weight throw. Lee also was the C-USA Champion in the weight throw and runner-up in the shot put. Lee’s shot put marks qualified her for NCAA Indoor Championships. Lee became the first female All-American to come from the U of M in almost 30 years, finishing 10th with a 16.62 meter (51-00.00) toss at the NCAA Championships. In that same season, J.D. Erickson added a conference title in the shot put and Janon Bus-

2011 Tiger’s Track

Since taking over the men’s and women’s track and field teams in 2006, Kevin Robinson has transformed the program into a power nationally and in Conference USA. Robinson’s effect was felt almost immediately. In addition to earning C-USA Coach of the Year honors in 2007, Robinson led the Tigers to the program’s first C-USA title, defeating UTEP by 9.5 points for the crown. That season, Robinson sent the first of six athletes he coached to the NCAA Championships, with men’s thrower Steffen Nerdal advancing to the outdoor competition and women’s thrower Gail Lee representing Memphis in both the indoor and outdoor seasons. Since returning to his alma mater as an assistant in 2002, Robinson has guided four throwers to the NCAA Championships in 17 events. Nine times his competitors have come away as All-Americans, including four appearances on the list from Nerdal. It’s only fitting that Robinson’s teams have mirrored their coach. A seven-time conference champion in C-USA and the Great Midwest Conference in the shot put, weight throw and hammer throw, an event he won three consecutive years. In 1994, he was voted the C-USA Indoor Athlete of the Year. After earning his degree from Memphis in Sports and Leisure Management in 1998, he became an assistant at Southern Illinois, where he worked from 1998-2002. During his time in Carbondale, Robinson’s athletes set three conference records and six school records, with nine NCAA Regional quaifiers and two All-Americans. He returned to Memphis in 2002, where he worked with such throwers as Gaute Myklebust, who holds school outdoor records in shot put and hammer throw, and Gail Lee, who represented the university at the NCAA Championships four times. In 2003, his first year as an assistant coach at Memphis, Robinson helped three Tigers earn a

Nerdal returned to the NCAA Championships in the hammer throw, earning his second All-American nod in as many years with a sixth-place, 68.21-meter (223-09) toss. Susan King earned one All-American nod and qualified for the shot put in both indoor and outdoor seasons under Robinson’s tutelage in 2008. Her 16.91 meter (55-05.75) toss earned her a fourth-place honor at the Indoor Championships. King’s fellow shot putter Sivan Aballi and pentathlete Charlotte Abrahamsen also earned the right to represent the blue and gray at the NCAA Championships. Abrahamsen remains the only multi-sport competitor in school history to compete in the NCAA Championships. In 2009, Robinson’s charges put a participant in all four disciplines of the NCAA Championships, for the first time in school history. Nerdal qualified in the weight throw for the Indoor Championships, the first Memphis male athlete in 25 years to go to the indoor championships, and became the first male indoor AllAmerican in school history. 2010 capped off Nerdal’s sterling career, in which he cemented his legacy with his fourth All-American performance and helped bolster that of Robinson as one of the best at developing throwers in the country. In addition to Nerdal, who won CUSA titles in the discus and hammer throws, Seth Major claimed his fourth C-USA medal, this time in the discus, and Knut Syversen was a provisional qualifier and medalist in the weight throw during indoor season. Heading in to the 2011 season, the Tigers now have a streak of nine individual throwing conference championships in a row. Along with their success on the track, Robinson’s athletes also excelled in the classroom. Myklebust was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District and C-USA Scholar Athlete teams in 2004, while Hyman was a CoSIDA All-American in 2004 and 2005 and was awarded one of only six C-USA Postgraduate Scholarships. In 2006, Aballi was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District team. Robinson’s charges also give back to the community. Nerdal was a two-time recipient of the Conference USA Spirit of Service Award, which is given to an athlete based on significant community service, outstanding academic achievement and participation in their selected sport. In all, Robinson has seen his athletes break 30 school records, pile up 37 C-USA titles and earn over 220 all-conference performances during his time at Memphis. Those numbers should come as no surprise; Robinson is one of the most decorated track and field athletes in the history of the U of M program. His dominating prowess in the shot put, weight throw, and hammer throw as a Tiger is unmatched. During his freshman campaign, he won the indoor shot put event in Memphis’ last year as a member of the Great Midwest Conference at the 1994 GMC Indoor Championships. In his sophomore season, Robinson was

named the C-USA Athlete of the Year at the indoor championships after winning the indoor weight throw, and finishing second in the indoor shot put. The four-time C-USA Athlete of

the Week award winner also qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 1997 and 1998 in seven combined events. As a sophomore and a senior, he won C-USA indoor titles in both the weight throw and hammer throw. Robinson is part of another elite C-USA group of only eight men who have won three or more C-USA Outdoor Titles in the same event (hammer throw, 1996-98). In total, Robinson owns six combined C-USA titles in the weight throw, and the hammer throw and one more GMC title in the shot put. When Robinson graduated in 1998, he was the record holder in four separate events including the indoor and outdoor shot, the 35lb. weight throw, and the hammer throw. His only record left standing today is the indoor shot put 18.06m (59-3), which is a testament to his coaching and his athletic skill. In 1998, Robinson was named the National Strength and Conditioning Association Strength and Conditioning Athlete of the Year and an NSCA All-American. That season, he finished 13th in the shot put at the NCAA Championships with an effort of 57-4.25. He also qualified for the Olympic trials in 2000 in both the shot put and weightlifting. In 2003, Robinson gained certification in CPR, AED, and as an AFAA professional personal trainer. He has since become a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) by the NSCA, a trait that allows Robinson to be the strength and conditioning coach for a Tiger squad that is among the biggest and strongest in the nation. A native of Perryville, Mo., Robinson earned his degree in Exercise and Sport Science from Memphis in 1998. Robinson and his wife, Dawn, have three children, Sebastian (11), Tristan (7) and Matthias (3). They reside in Hernando, Mississippi.

2011 Tiger’s Track

Assistant Coach: Sprints/Hurdles Fifth Season A long-time figure around the Memphis track and field scene, Nic Fortenberry, in his fifth season at the U of M, has established a contingent of sprinters and hurdlers that can contend in the conference and nationally for years to come. Two of Fortenberry’s charges are contenders for C-USA titles and possible NCAA Championship hopes in 2011. Senior Richard Lowe and junior Robert Jackson each made it to the NCAA Outdoor Championships in hurdles in 2010 and will use their experience and speed to try and reach those heights once more in 2011. LaShundra Kershaw was also a regional qualifier in 100 and 200-meter sprints in 2010, marking the second year in a row Fortenberry sent three athletes to the NCAA Championships. Kershaw will also be back in 2011. In 2010, for the third consecutive year, at least three of Fortenberry’s athletes qualified for the NCAA Regionals. In all, Fortenberry has coached 16 regional qualifiers, six NCAA qualifiers and nine C-USA champions. In 2009, five Tigers qualified for the Mideast Regionals and two of the athletes advanced to the finals of the Regionals. Three of Fortenberry’s athletes qualified for the 2008 NCAA Mideast Regionals, with all of them winning individual crowns at the C-USA Outdoor Championships. He has had nine regional qualifiers in his initial two years of coaching, including seven C-USA Champions.

Under Fortenberry, NCAA Mideast qualifier hurdler Amaechi Oselukwue successfully defended his Conference USA title in the 110 hurdles, as he raced to an impressive 14.16 time. In Fortenberry’s first season, the Tiger sprinters and hurdlers played a pivotal role in the men’s C-USA Outdoor Championship, scoring a total of 56 points. Fortenberry has more than a decade of experience as both an athlete and a coach at the high school and collegiate levels. As a prep standout at Tylertown High School in Tylertown, Miss., Fortenberry was the captain of the track team, a four-year letterman, and a three-year state qualifier. Fortenberry enrolled at Louisiana State University on a Naval ROTC scholarship during the summer of 1992 and joined the

track team in 1993. Fortenberry competed in crosscountry, the 800m dash and the 400m hurdles for the Tigers before his graduation in 1996. He began his coaching career in 1997 as an assistant track coach and head cross country coach at Kirby High School in Memphis. He took over as the boy’s track head coach the following year. In 2000, Fortenberry moved to Houston High under George Gibson, where he coached sprinters and multi-event athletes. He also served as the assistant cross country coach. During his time there, the cross country team won three state titles and the track team won the 2005 State Championship. Over 20 of his athletes went on to Division I programs, including former Memphis decathlete Jason Morgan. Nic is the father of two children, Gabe (12) and Jada (6).

Prior to his time as an athlete at the University of Memphis, Fraizer spent time at Hutchinson Community College, where he earned AllAmerican honors as a sophomore. He was a two-time qualifier for the NJCAA National Championships in the javelin in his freshman and sophomore campaign at Hutchinson and was a Junior Olympic qualifier.

The 2007-08 season was Fraizer’s first as a coach, but he had an immediate impact. Javelin thrower Christian McDonald had another impressive season, qualifying for the second time for the NCAA MidEast Regionals, where he set a personal-best throw of 64.9m (212-11).

1959 the university admitted its first African American students, and the first doctoral programs began in 1966. The 1970s, under President Cecil C. Humphreys, saw new buildings constructed across the campus, including a University Center and a 12-story library. In 1983 MSU became the first public university in Tennessee to gain accreditation of its entire curriculum. The 1990s were characterized by another name change and another building boom. In 1994 MSU became the University of Memphis, and the Ned R. McWherter Library was completed. Moving into the 21st century, the Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality and Resort Management and the FedEx Institute of Technology have made their mark on the University landscape. Today, the University of Memphis is one of Tennessee’s three comprehensive doctoral-extensive institutions of higher learning. Situated in a beautiful park-like setting in the state’s largest city, it is the flagship of the Tennessee Board of Regents system. It awards more than 3,000 degrees annually. With an enrollment of approximately 21,000 students, The University of Memphis has 24 Chairs of Excellence, more than any other Tennessee university, and five state-approved Centers of Excellence.

For almost a century the University of Memphis has been a catalyst for progress in the city of Memphis, the state of Tennessee and the surrounding Mid-South region. From its inception as a normal school dedicated to the education of public school teachers, to its role today as an educator of technologicallysavvy graduates who face a complex world, the University of Memphis has always fulfilled its current mission while looking forward to and planning for its future. Exceptional students from Tennessee, from every other state in the nation and from almost 100 countries around the world choose to attend the University of Memphis. They come here on the recommendation of their major professors at European universities; they come here to study subjects that are offered nowhere else; they come to study alongside men and women who are recognized and respected throughout the academic and scientific communities as foremost in their fields. Ever forward-looking, the University of Memphis is poised to enter one of its most historic and productive periods. From the faculty and staff we have in place to our alumni and benefactors, our “people assets” have never been more willing, able and generous in their efforts to build an academic environment that makes a life-long impact on the young minds at the U of M. The University of Memphis was founded under the auspices of the General Education Bill, enacted by the Tennessee Legislature in 1909. Known originally as West Tennessee State Normal School, the institution opened its doors Sept. 10, 1912, with Dr. Seymour A. Mynders as president. Students in the first classes selected blue and gray as the school colors and the tiger as the mascot. Tradition holds that the colors, those of the opposing armies during the Civil War, were chosen in commemoration of the reuniting of the country after that divisive conflict. Over the next decade, The Desoto yearbook was created, the first library was opened in the Administration Building, the first dining hall was built and the first men’s dorm was built; today that dorm, Scates Hall, houses the College of Arts and Sciences’ Dean’s offices. In 1925 the name of the college changed to West Tennessee State Teachers College. Three years later, the Brister Library was built, named after two-term president John W. Brister. In 1931 the students created a campus newspaper, The Tiger Rag; and in 1935 the school’s agriculture department was discontinued. The college changed names again in 1941, becoming Memphis State College, and in 1946, J. Millard “Jack” Smith became president - the first alumnus to hold the position. In 1950 graduate studies were initiated, and in 1954 the school switched from a quarter to a semester system. In 1957 the state legislature designated Memphis State full university status. In

Considered the “Home of the Blues” and the “Birthplace of Rock ‘n Roll,” the city of Memphis’ musical roots run deep. However, music is just a chapter in the history as well as the future of the city located in the heart of Mid-America. Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, boasts all the amenities you would expect in a city with over 1 million residents, while retaining the charm and downto-earth feel of a small town. Downtown Memphis recently realized a building boom valued at $2.3 billion which transformed the heart of the city. One of the most visible projects was the construction of AutoZone Park, the downtown ballpark which is the home of the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A club. The 14,320seat stadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suites and is located at the corner of Third Street and Union Avenue across from the world-famous Peabody Hotel. The city’s newest downtown project is FedExForum, an entertainment arena that houses both the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association and the University of Memphis men’s basketball team. The $250 million state-of-the-art arena features a 35,000-square-foot outdoor plaza where fans of all ages can gather before an event. The arena has over 100 points of sale for concession stands and four full-service restaurants. FedExForum is located one block south of Beale Street. Memphis’ musical roots can be traced to band leader W.C. Handy, who wrote the first blues song here in 1909, a campaign theme for Memphis mayor “Boss” Crump called “Boss Crump Blues” and later published as the “The Memphis Blues.” The sound soon caught on and blues bands filled the clubs along Beale. Young musicians who have performed along Beale include Muddy Waters, Furry Lewis, Albert King, Bobby “Blue” Bland and B.B. King. Beale Street has rapidly become the entertainment center of Memphis and visitors and locals alike enjoy the food and music offered in the various nightclubs. Where Beale Street meets the Missis sippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekendlong event is just a part of the month-long Memphis in May International Festival which also includes the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and the Sunset Symphony. Located within a block of Beale is Gibson Guitar Memphis, which includes factory tours and cultural exhibits. Across the street is the Smithsonian’s Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum located at the FedExForum, which includes artifacts documenting music’s past. Memphis’ musical roots also include

Stax and Hi-Records as well as Sun Records recording studio. Stax became known for “sweet soul music” through such artists as the MarKeys, Booker T. and the MGs, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave and Isaac Hayes. The Stax Museum reopened on its original location at McLemore and Crump in the summer of 2003 and offers visitors a complete history of “Soulsville USA.” One of Hi-Records’ premier artists was Al Green. Sun Records’ most famous recording artist was Elvis Presley and also boasted Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash among its recording artists. Elvis Presley’s Graceland is one of the five most visited home tours in America and is the most famous home in the United States after the White House. In 1991, Graceland was placed on the National Register of Historical Places. Over 600,000 visitors tour Graceland each year. Also located downtown is the beautiful Orpheum Theater which serves as a venue for performances by Ballet Memphis, the Memphis Symphony Orchestra and traveling Broadway shows, as well as the Orpheum Classic Movies series and other concerts. The city’s location makes Memphis a major distribution hub with two interstate highways intersecting the city. Memphis is also home of FedEx, the nation’s largest package carrier which makes Memphis International Airport the world’s busiest cargo airport. Over 500 commercial passenger flights originate from Memphis International each day.

R.C. Johnson came aboard in February of 1996 and immediately set forth in bringing U of M Tiger athletics into national prominence. Over the last 14 years, the dynamic administrator has built Tiger Athletics into a nationally-recognized program that has been to five bowl games in the last eight years and played for the Men’s Basketball National Championship title in 2007-08. In addition, for the last 11 straight years, donations to the department have continued to rise, and on June 30, 2010, a record-setting $7.3 million was announced by the Tiger Scholarship Fund. Also in the last seven years under Johnson, the Tigers have captured 15 total C-USA championships in men’s basketball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, women’s golf and men’s track. The men’s basketball program has garnered five regular-season titles (2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) and four C-USA Tournament championships (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009), while the women’s soccer program claimed four consecutive league championships from 2007-10. Johnson is currently spearheading his second major capital campaign which benefits nearly every area of the Tiger Athletic Department. Included in the $12.9 million project is a new addition to the Athletic Office Building, a weight room and turf practice field for Tiger Football, a redesign of the Tiger baseball stadium that was unveiled for the 2010 season, the completed golf practice facility, a renovation of the Finch Center men’s basketball practice facility, a renovation of the women’s basketball and volleyball locker rooms and the Anfernee Hardaway Hall of Fame to honor Tiger athletes. Johnson’s first capital campaign was previously the largest fund-raising effort in the history of Memphis athletics. The $8 million campaign included a new 8,000-square-foot football and basketball office complex addition, a new basketball practice facility, which is still considered one of the best in the country, and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex. During his tenure, Johnson has created the

Before taking over Tiger Athletics, Johnson was responsible for directing a Temple program with more than 500 student-athletes in 20 men’s and women’s intercollegiate sports, including nationally-visible programs in men’s basketball and football. He was named Temple’s director of athletics on May 9, 1994, after serving nearly six years

as director of athletics at Miami (Ohio) University. He had also previously led the department at Eastern Illinois from 1980-88, and was the associate athletic director at Northern Iowa from 1974-80. A former football coach himself, Johnson served as an assistant at Mankato State University from 1968-74. He coached at Youngstown State University during the 1967 and 1968 seasons after serving as an assistant coach at Northern Iowa (1965-67) and the University of Iowa (1963-65). An Ottawa, Ill., native, Johnson holds his bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Iowa in 1965 and earned his master’s degree in physical education from the University of Northern Iowa in 1967. Johnson is a member of the National Association of College Directors of Athletics and serves on the NCAA Leadership Council. A veteran administrator in Conference USA, Johnson sits on both the C-USA Bowl Committee and the league’s Finance Committee. In addition, he is a member of the University of Memphis President’s Council. Johnson and his wife, Melba, have three children: Jeff, P.A. and Michelle; five grandchildren and one great grandson.

Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, the Tiger Scholarship Fund Board of Directors and the Athletic Director’s Ambassador’s Club. The Ambassador’s Club, which started with two members in 1997, has reached an all-time high of 41 members under Johnson. A significant revenue source for Tiger Athletics, members of the Ambassador’s Club pledge to commit $500,000. In June 2007, Johnson inked a lucrative longterm contract extension with Learfield Sports, which enabled Tiger Sports Properties to retain the multimedia rights for Memphis Athletics through 2017. The Tigers signed on with Learfield Sports in 2001, granting the partner radio and television rights, athletic venue signage, game day promotions and sponsorships, as well as the official athletic department website. Terms for the contract call for the Tigers to receive a financial guarantee each year of the agreement and to participate in annual revenue sharing. In 2008, the U of M entered into a five-year, $11.3 million partnership with Nike to provide shoes, apparel and equipment for all Tiger athletic teams. A believer in academic excellence as well as athletic success and national prominence, Johnson leads a department that set a school record with 51 percent of its student-athletes achieving a 3.0 or higher during the spring 2010 semester. For the most recent academic year, which includes fall 2009 and spring 2010, 339 student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA and eight had a 4.0 for the year and 33 others had a 4.0 either in the fall or spring. For the spring 2010 semester, the athletic department as a whole posted its highest GPA ever with a 2.94 and 23 student-athletes garnered a 4.0 GPA. In May 2010, 48 athletes earned their degrees, marking the largest group for one ceremony since 2002 when the athletic academic services department began keeping record.
