2010 Season Preview After reaching The Summit League Tournament for the first time since 2003 and posting the highest home winning percentage in school history during the 2009 season, expectations will be at an alltime high for the UMKC volleyball team heading into the 2010 campaign. The Kangaroos return five starters and 12 letterwinners from the team that tied the school record with 10 league wins a season ago. “Last year we were happy to make the conference tournament,” said Head Coach Geno Frugoli, who is entering his fourth season with the program. “Success does great things to a player and team’s confidence. We only lost one starter from last season and have depth on our bench. This translates into high goals and expectations for our team and all of our players are incredibly focused on wanting more success both individually and as a team.”

SETTER

The ‘Roos will return their setting tandem from a year ago, as junior Erin Wellwood enters her third season handling the setting duties, while senior Holly Schmidt will enter her second season helping share the setting responsibilities. Wellwood and Schmidt, meanwhile, will be joined at setter by a pair of sophomores in Brittney Robers and Ella Meier. “We return Erin and Holly from last season and had Ella set quite a bit last spring,” said Frugoli. “Those are quality options that can set a variety of lineups and schemes. While most

teams have to count on one setter, we can count on all of ours.”

LIBERO/DEFENSIVE SPECIALIST

Wellwood followed up her strong freshman season with an equally impressive 2009 season in which she played in all 31 matches leading the ‘Roos in assists in 26 matches. With her 617 assists in 2009, the Omaha, Neb., native moved into eighth place in the UMKC record books with 1,177 career assists.

The Kangaroos return a strong group of back row players from last season, as their top three defensive specialists, Nicole Kerkman, Kayla Riggs and Erin Wellwood, all are back as upperclassmen for the 2010 campaign. During the 2009 season, the trio finished first, third and fourth on the team in digs to lead the team’s back row defensive effort.

Schmidt returns for her final season as a Kangaroo after seeing action in all 31 matches last season, including 15 starts. The senior racked up 446 assists in 2009, more than five times her total from her first two seasons combined. Six times the Alma, Mo., native led the team in assists, including a career-high 28 in the match against South Dakota State.

“We were ranked 24th in the nation in digs last season and a big part of that is because of this position,” said Frugoli. “Nicole and Kayla complement each other well, and Erin has enough experience to contribute as both a setter and defensive specialist. All three can also serve the cover off of the ball.”

Meier, meanwhile, will make the transition to setter in 2010 for the ‘Roos as the Lancaster, Pa., native switches positions from rightside hitter in her second season in the Blue and Gold. Last season, the sophomore posted 109 kills and 198 digs in 27 matches, while finishing third on the team with 53 assists. Robers, meanwhile, will try to build of her freshman season where she posted 25 assists in seven matches after joining the ‘Roos as a highly-touted recruit. The Allen, Texas, native will be relied on to provide height at the net for the squad as the 6-2 sophomore is the tallest among the UMKC setters.

2010 UMKC KANGAROOS VOLLEYBALL

Kerkman returns to the squad for her junior season after playing libero in all 31 matches last season for the ‘Roos, where her 460 digs and 4.04 digs per set ranked fourth and sixth all-time in a single season in UMKC history. The Omaha, Neb., native will look to add to career total of 667 digs this season and move into fifth place all-time where she trails Julie Kampshroeder by less than 400 digs. Riggs, meanwhile, heads into her second season in the Blue and Gold as the squad’s primary defensive specialist after appearing in 27 matches last year. During her first season as a ‘Roo, the Santa Fe, Texas, native registered 241 digs, while finishing with 10 or more digs in 10 matches and leading the squad in digs in three matches.

Wellwood, along with her setting duties, will be relied on to provide solid back row defense after twice leading the team in digs a season ago. Last season, the junior amassed 240 digs, while finishing second on the team with 10 double-doubles.

OUTSIDE HITTERS

On the outside, the ‘Roos will return a pair players that received significant playing time a season ago, including Summit League Offensive Player of the Week honoree Kelsey Knoche. Adding to the mix will be promising sophomore Emily Lucas, as well as incoming freshman Chloe Jarema, giving the ‘Roos a variety of options to choose from on the outside. “Losing second team all-league selection Jamie Hagerman to graduation will take some time, but Kelsey has shown great leadership and has taken her game to another level since last season,” said Frugoli. “Emily has also matured and could be a difference maker for our team. Chloe is another player to watch because of her consistent ball control and hitting. We will be counting on all three of them to anchor our serve receive and hitting as the season goes along.” Knoche enters her second season as a ‘Roo after transferring from the University of Memphis following her freshman season. Last season, the Lee’s Summit native led the squad with 312 kills and 17 double-doubles, while finishing second on the team with 355 digs and 29 service aces. Knoche was named to the Best Western Sycamore Classic and the Sacred Heart Invitational all-Tournament teams, as well as placing herself in the UMKC record books, as the junior is seventh all-time in school history with a 2.86

3

kills per set average and fifth all-time with a 3.26 digs per set average. Lucas, meanwhile, competed in 27 matches last season for the ‘Roos with seven starts, racking up 82 kills for the squad in her inaugural campaign. The Sublette, Kan., native registered a career-high 10 kills in the match against Holy Cross, and a team-high .556 in the 3-0 win over Western Illinois, while leading the squad in blocks three times. Highland, Utah, native Jarema rounds out the team’s outside hitters and will bring a winning tradition to the ‘Roos, as the two-time all-state honoree led her high school squad to state championships in 2007 and 2008 and runner-up finishes in 2006 and 2009.

MIDDLE HITTERS

The most experienced position on the court for the Kangaroos will be in the middle, as the squad will feature a senior and three juniors at the net during the 2010 campaign, led by 2009 Second Team all-Summit League selection Christiana McQuin. McQuin will be joined by fellow junior and two-year starter Brittany Fossier, along with senior Christina McCarthy and Butler Community College transfer Demetria Williams, to give Frugoli an array of talent at his disposal. “Christiana has really impressed our coaches during the last year. She went from all-freshman team to second team all-league last year and has really shown she wants to do more this year,” said Frugoli. “Brittany and Demetria will join Christy in battling for our other middle spot. Chloe Jarema and Emily Lucus also can play middle in a pinch. “

McQuin begins her third season at UMKC after following up her freshman season in 2008 as a Summit League all-Freshman honoree with a Second Team all-Summit League selection in 2009. During the season, the Wellington, Kan., native finished third on the team with 219 kills and a .248 hitting percentage to go along with 22 service aces and a team-high 119 blocks. McQuin’s 101 block assists placed her fourth all-time on the UMKC single season list, and catapulted her to eighth on the career list with 190. Last season, the junior was named The Summit League Defensive Player of the Week after combining for 17 blocks and seven digs in victories over Centenary and Oral Roberts. Fossier, meanwhile, saw action in 26 matches with 24 starts, tallying 140 kills and a .220 hitting percentage. The Plano, Texas, native finished second on the team with 90 blocks, while leading the team in blocks a team-high 11 times. Three times the junior finished with double-digit kills a season ago, including a team-high 14 kills and a career-high .480 hitting percentage against SIU Edwardsville. McCarthy and Williams will also vie for playing time in the middle for the ‘Roos. McCarthy finished with the best match of her career last season at Kansas when the Tulsa, Okla., native finished with career-highs of seven kills on 16 attempts for a .375 hitting percentage. Williams will try to carry her momentum to the Division I level from Butler where she was named an NJCAA all-America honoree last season after tallying 274 kills and hitting .304.

RIGHTSIDE HITTERS

On the rightside, former Summit League Player of the Week honoree Elizabeth Beck will begin the season at the top of the depth chart, with senior Holly Schmidt adding leadership to the unit. Meanwhile, the squad will also be looking for production from sophomores Brittney Robers and Ella Meier to add depth to the position. “Our rightside attack is very important to our offense,” said Frugoli. “Elizabeth played well enough last year to earn Summit League Player of the Week honors and has never looked back. She’s hitting as hard as anyone in the league and is a great team motivator. We also have Holly and Brittney who could step in with huge blocks and great setting ability.” Beck returns to the squad after posting 161 kills and 115 digs during her sophomore campaign in Blue and Gold. During the season, the Omaha, Neb., native started 12 of 28 matches, leading the team in kills in six matches, while finishing with double figure kills in eight matches. Twice during the season Beck recorded double-doubles, finishing with 16 kills and a career-high 14 digs at Western Illinois and 10 kills and 12 digs against North Dakota State. Schmidt will see more time at her natural position in her final season after splitting the setting duties last season with Wellwood. In 2009, the

senior registered 76 kills after combining for 225 in her first two seasons as a ‘Roo. Meier, meanwhile, will look to build off her strong freshman campaign where she started 20 matches and was named to the Sacred Heart all-Tournament team a year ago. As a freshman, Meier pounded out 109 kills and 198 digs in 27 matches, while recording double-doubles with a career-high 13 kills and 14 digs against Iona and 12 kills and 16 digs against Oakland. Robers will also be relied on to add depth to the unit after spending a majority of her time at setter during 2009. The 6-2 sophomore saw action in five matches last season where she registered a career-high 12 assists in the 3-0 win over Holy Cross.

THE SCHEDULE

The Kangaroos will play a challenging schedule in 2010, as the team will face two opponents each from the Big 12 Conference and the SEC, in addition to playing a pair of schools that qualified for the 2009 NCAA Tournament. UMKC will also compete in two non-conference tournaments to go along with its annual showdown against Drake in the home opener

2010 UMKC KANGAROOS VOLLEYBALL

at the new-look Swinney Recreation Center, as well as a match-up against coach Frugoli’s alma mater UNLV. “We open with Arkansas, play teams like Georgia and Northern Colorado, open conference with the Dakota’s and then sprinkle in teams like Kansas and Kansas State in between,” said Frugoli. “Most teams and coaches would lose sleep over that, but we know playing those teams will make us tougher, and we are going into it pretty confident. Everyone on our schedule will be a test, and we have to learn to take a winning mentality into the gym each night.” “It’s obvious to me that everyone in this program is excited for this season and wants to show what they can do. Winning 10 of our last 13 regular season matches, including a victory over Summit League Tournament champion IPFW, has energized this group to accomplish more. Our program has reached the point where we are setting higher goals because we are comfortable with the experience and depth on our roster.”

Geno Frugoli

Head Coach • UNLV, ‘92 • Fourth Season • 32-63, 17-33 Geno Frugoli is entering his fourth season as the head coach of the UMKC volleyball program, where he has posted a 32-63 overall record and a 17-33 mark in Summit League play. Frugoli was named the head coach of the Kangaroos on Jan. 4, 2007. UMKC made a big jump in competitiveness in Frugoli’s third season on the sidelines, as he steered the ‘Roos to a 15-16 overall record and a 10-8 mark in Summit League action. The 15 wins marked the third most wins in school history, while the 10 league wins tied the 1999 squad for the most all-time. UMKC made a late season surge to qualify for the Summit League Tournament for the first time since 2003. During the season, Frugoli guided UMKC to a series sweep over Oral Roberts. The ‘Roos snapped a 34-match losing streak to the Golden Eagles with their 3-1 win on Oct. 9 before completing the first ever season sweep of ORU with a 3-1 triumph in early November. The program also opened some eyes early in the season, when it took a game off of No. 23 Kansas State in Manhattan on Sept. 1. At the conclusion of the year, a pair of his student-athletes - Jamie Hagerman and Christiana McQuin - garnered Second Team all-Summit League honors. The duo were UMKC’s first all-league honorees since the 2005 season and the first teammates to earn post season recognition since 2003. During Frugoli’s second season in Kansas City, he led the ‘Roos to a 12-20 overall record and a 5-11 mark in the Summit League. The 12 wins more than doubled his 2007 win total, and they were the most victories for the program since the 2002 season. McQuin became Frugoli’s first recruit to earn Summit League all-Freshman team honors after leading the squad with a .263 hitting percentage to go along with 233 kills. In his first season with the Kangaroos, Frugoli guided the team to a 5-27 overall record and a 2-14 mark in Summit League play. The squad started out the season with a 3-3 overall record, and it pushed Oral Roberts to a five-game match in October before ultimately falling by the 3-2 score. It was the first time that UMKC forced a decisive fifth game with ORU since the 1993 season. In the classroom, two of Frugoli’s first three squads earned the AVCA Academic Team Award for having at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade point average. In his three years with the ‘Roos a total of 32 student-athletes have been named to The Summit League Academic all-League team and 14 were selected to the Commissioner’s List of Academic Excellence. Additionally in 2009, Frugoli’s squad was one of just 49 teams in the nation to be recognized as a part of the NCAA’s academic reform program. Prior to moving to UMKC, Frugoli was primary recruiter at Baylor University for three seasons. During his stint in Waco, he was the primary recruiter that brought in seven players that were ranked among the top-150 and the No.1 player from the state of Texas. The Bears’ 2006 class received national acclaim, as it was tabbed as the No. 16 ranked class in the country. During his time on the sidelines, Frugoli helped the Bears increase their RPI from 196 to a season-high 32 in 2006. Additionally, he helped the squad to several victories over top-25 programs. The team also thrived in the classroom, as it received several academic all-District awards with a team grade point average of 3.3. Prior to joining the BU staff, Frugoli started the first men’s volleyball program in the state of Nebraska at Peru State College, and his team was ranked No. 7 in the nation when he departed. He was also in charge of the women’s program that was the conference runner-up with a 12-6 record in 2003 and advanced to the first MCAC conference final appearance in school history. During his year on the sidelines, Frugoli coached one honorable mention all-America selection, four all-conference selections and three Academic all-Americans.

CATALINA SUAREZ -- NO. 8, NUMBER RETIRED OCT. 31, 1996 UMKC produced one of the greatest collegiate volleyball players of all time when Catalina Suarez donned a Kan­ga­roos’ uniform from 1988—89. And on Oct. 31, 1996, UMKC retired the No. 8 in her honor. She joins former basketball player Ronnie Schmitz as the only two UMKC student-athletes to have their uniform number retired. Suarez transferred to UMKC following the 1986 season after a two-year stint with the Uni­ver­si­ty of Kansas. After sitting out the 1987 season, she finished her career at UMKC from 1988—89. In 1989, she was named first-team all-Mideast and was an honorable mention all-American. She received UMKC’s David B. Milner Award in both 1988-89 and 1989-90, which is presented to the department’s

most inspirational athlete. She was also a member of the Colombian national team for four years and served as the captain for three years. The decision to retire Suarez’ number was made by the UMKC Special Recognition Committee, which was composed of selected members of the Intercollegiate Athletics Committee. In 2008, Suarez was selected to the inaugural UMKC Athletics Hall of Fame, where she was officially inducted on Dec. 5. Suarez still ranks at or near the top of several Division I national record charts.

The Evolution of the Kangaroo

W

hen choosing a mascot, the discussion usually starts with three main categories - predatory animals, historical or regional figures, or humans that represent power and strength - and ends with a collection of the usual suspects. Thanks to Walt Disney, The Kansas City Star and the Kansas City Zoo, UMKC has a very unique mascot, but how exactly does the Kangaroo fit? As it turns out, quite well. In 1936, the issue of a mascot was first brought up by the editors of The University the campus newspaper for Kansas City University. Although there were no organized intercollegiate athletics teams at the time, the newspaper staff felt that KCU’s debate team - and more importantly the school itself - deserved a unique identity. During that same year, the Kansas City Zoo purchased a pair of baby Kangaroos, and The Kansas City Star lit the fire with an article titled “Kangaroo May Go To KCU ... Student Editors Believe University Should Have A Symbol.” Others on campus were not as enthusiastic. The editors of The Crataegus - the University’s yearbook - thought that a Kangaroo was not an appropriate symbol for KCU. A proposed feature page in the 1936-37 yearbook for the Kangaroo emblem was deleted, sparking a tremendous amount of debate. As the debate wore on, interest from the campus community began to wane. It looked as if KCU would not adopt a mascot after all. But in 1937, two events would combine to indelibly link the Kangaroo with the University and give the mascot a name.

The first incarnation of Kasey Kangaroo was inked by Marceline, Mo., native Walt Disney, and featured the KCU mascot alongside a somewhat more famous rodent.

During the student government elections in the spring semester, the CO-OP Party adopted the Kangaroo as its official mascot, naming him Kasey. With a landslide victory in April behind the slogan “Kasey fits KC”, the first part of the foundation was laid. During the same month the first issue of KCU’s humor magazine - The Kangaroo - was published, with a kangaroo gracing the cover. Six months later, a kangaroo made another appearance on the cover of The Kangaroo, and although it wasn’t a solo appearance, it put a quick end to the debate over whether a kangaroo was an appropriate mascot for KCU. Missouri native and famed cartoonist Walt Disney provided the artwork for the cover illustration, which featured Mickey Mouse shaking hands with Kasey Kangaroo. In a matter of a few years, The Kangaroo thrived while The Crataegus floundered, with the latter eventually folding. The Kangaroo became the University’s yearbook and the Kangaroo became the official mascot of Kansas City University. Kasey has undergone several changes over the years, with the most recent metamorphosis led by UMKC Director of Athletics Tim Hall. With the help of local advertising agency Bernstein-Rein, UMKC developed a set of new athletics marks in the spring of 2008. After a community vote, the new Kangaroo logo was unveiled in May. With its aggressive snarl, the new Kangaroo capitalizes on UMKC’s mission to be an outstanding urban university while keeping mindful of the traditions established in 1937.

Director of Athletics Tim Hall

tim hall Director of Athletics

Tim Hall was named the UMKC Director of Athletics on Feb. 14, 2007. In this role, he serves as a member of the Chancellor’s executive cabinet, and is responsible for leading the strategic direction in growing the university’s intercollegiate athletics program. In Hall’s first three full years in Kansas City, UMKC has enjoyed a record amount of success on the fields of competition, in the classroom, and in the Kansas City community. These successes were reinforced by the NCAA in 2009, as UMKC Athletics received full NCAA certification without condition. The certification showed that the University is operating its athletics program in substantial conformity with operating principles adopted by the NCAA Division I membership and is valid for the next 10 years. From an athletics standpoint, Hall led the ‘Roos to their most successful year since 2000 in 2008-09 and the ‘Roos continued excelling in 2009-10. UMKC claimed a pair of Summit League titles in men’s soccer and men’s tennis, while also earning the runner-up nod in both men’s and women’s golf, which led to a record 2009 finish in the annual Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup. During the 2010 campaign, the men’s tennis team won The Summit League regular season title and the men’s golf program was the league runner-up. This helped the men’s teams finish fourth in the Dr. William Steinbrecher Men’s All Sports Award standings, the best showing since 2001-02. Overall, the ‘Roos moved up to sixth place in the Commissioner’s Cup standings, which was the highest finish since 2006-07. In the classroom, the department posted a 3.10 cumulative grade point as of the spring 2010 semester and eight programs finished with at least a 3.0 GPA. Additionally, UMKC finished with a 958.7 APR average and the volleyball team received the NCAA public recognition award. Internally, Hall has been hard at work to align the department with peer institutions and the NCAA. He restructured the rules compliance office to be more in line with NCAA rules and the Student-Athlete Support Services Office to better assist and prepare Kangaroo student-athletes. He also continues to work with new UMKC Chancellor Leo Morton to craft the athletics’ strategic plan in concert with the University’s new strategic goals. From a fund raising standpoint, Kangaroo Athletics have never been better. In 2008, UMKC received a $5 million pledge from the Stanley H. Durwood Foundation, the largest gift in Athletics’ and the fourth-largest gift in University history. The resulting Stanley H. Durwood Soccer Stadium and Recreational Field opened in August 2009 and is among the premier soccer facilities in the Midwest region. Additional facility improvements have included revamped locker rooms and lounges for men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball and the retro-fitting of Old Swinney Gymnasium, which provides the basketball and volleyball programs with a first-class practice facility. The project was funded through $500,000 of private support. Hall also was instrumental in the renovation of the Swinney Recreation Center with the installation of new seatback bleachers and new scoreboards, which enhances the venue for the men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball programs. The renovation allows the men’s basketball squad to move its games back on campus full-time for the 2010-11 season. Hall is also in the midst of a partnership with the Kansas City Parks Department to build a sports complex that will house both indoor and outdoor tennis courts, a 200-meter indoor track and a softball field. On an annual basis, the Kangaroo Athletics Scholarship Fund, which was rebranded prior to the 2007-08 school year, has posted three straight years of 50 percent growth, while donor participation is up over 200 percent. He also increased the department’s total sponsorships and gift-in-kind assistance to over $1.5 million and cash and trade sponsorships have increased 265 percent since 2008. Additionally, Hall has increased UMKC’s external support by 45 percent over fiscal year 2009 from $1.6 to $2.4 million. Hall also has also reconnected with over 200 former ‘Roos with the former student-athlete association. In the community, Hall has been active in an effort to get more community leaders involved in the Athletics Department. Hall restructured the Athletics Foundation Board in 2009 by adding representatives from a number of Kansas City-based businesses such as Cerner, Kansas City Southern Railways, Lathrop Gage LLC, and Mark One Electric. New partnerships have come quickly to Kangaroo Athletics, including television (Niles Media Group) and radio (810 WHB) agreements that ensure a continued presence within the Kansas City region. Renowned local advertising firm Bernstein-Rein produced a redesigned athletics logo and graphics set, while additional contractual agreements have also been signed with adidas, Truman Medical Centers, Pepsi, T-Mobile and JumpTV to better serve the department’s student-athletes. Hall continues to bring leadership to UMKC and The Summit League. In addition to his role on the Chancellor’s Executive Cabinet, Hall serves on The Summit League Joint Council leadership committee and sits on the league’s men’s basketball scheduling committee and the men’s and women’s soccer coaches committees. Additionally, Hall is also in the second of a three-year term on the NACDA Division 1-AAA Executive Committee and serves on the NCAA volleyball rules committee. Hall came to Kansas City after serving as the Associate Athletics Director for Development at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, from 2003-07. While at KSU, he was a member of the athletics senior administrative staff, working in all phases of departmental management including game and personnel contracts, scheduling, budget, policy and strategic planning. In this role, Hall created and implemented a comprehensive restructuring of the athletic advancement unit, resulting in the creation of the Office of Athletic Advancement. He increased fundraising by more than 33 percent, helped secure the largest gift to date in the history of KSU athletics, a $1.53 million gift for the baseball stadium renovation, and raised more than $16.1 million. Prior to moving back to Ohio, Hall worked at Eastern Kentucky University from 2000-03. Hall began work as the collegiate Director for Development in 2000 before being promoted to the Director of Major Gifts and Special Projects in 2001. In this capacity, he raised over $4.6 million for the university, including $1.3 million for athletics. Hall also served as the Assistant Director of Development at Saint Xavier University in Chicago from September 1999 through October 2000. At Saint Xavier, Hall managed fundraising efforts for a $13 million Athletic and Convention Center. He also managed the President’s Club, and developed and implemented the Cougar Club, an athletics affinity group. Before moving to Chicago, Hall worked at Youngstown State University as an Assistant Director of Athletic Development from 1997-99. In this role, he helped the university complete its successful $26 million capital campaign. Hall also began his collegiate career at YSU, serving in the school’s athletic marketing and promotions office. Hall earned his bachelor’s degree in sports administration from the University of Toledo in 1994. He then received his master’s degree in sports administration from Kent State University in 1998. Hall and his wife, Beth, have four children, Aidan, Aislin, Donovan and Landon, and they reside in Kansas City, Mo.

Kangaroo student-athletes enjoy some of the finest locker room facilities in The Summit League courtesy of a major renovation undertaken prior to the 2007-08 school year. Along with providing each student-athlete their own individual locker space, the facility also features a player’s lounge that includes leather couches and a big screen television. In addition, the lounge is equipped with a computer workstation with a high-speed internet connection.

Old Swinney Original Old Swinney Gymnasium, affectionately known as “Old Swinney”, which is part of the Swinney Recreation Center received a face lift in the summer of 2010. The renovation transforms the Old Swinney Gymnasium into a modern, collegiate practice facility that will better serve the student body, faculty and staff members and community members, as well as provide outstanding training opportunities for ‘Roo student-athletes. The $500,000 renovation plan calls for new basketball/volleyball court flooring and basketball standards and volleyball nets to be installed in the existing facility. The current skylights in the building will also be altered, which will allow for modified lighting to be put into place. The entire Old Swinney interior will be updated and scoreboards will be installed.

Dutton Brookfield Strength and Conditioning Center The Dutton Brookfield Strength and Conditioning Center at UMKC’s Swinney Recreation Center was officially dedicated on Sept. 22, 2004. Led by Director of Strength, Conditioning and Sports Enhancement Trumain Carroll, the Brookfield Center is designed to help enhance UMKC student-athletes’ levels of performance while significantly reducing the chances for injuries. The benefit of performing structured strength and power training throughout the entire year will give student-athletes the opportunity to reach new levels of physical development. The center contains free weights, plus platforms, benches and machines and the latest cardiovascular equipment. In the summer of 2006, the area purchased the latest Sports Motion system to give student-athletes the video analysis needed to improve their techniques.

he Kangaroo Athletics Scholarship Fund (KASF) supports the studentathletes of UMKC through the offsetting of expenses such as scholarships, travel, recruiting, and equipment. As costs continue to rise, support for our student-athletes through the KASF becomes more crucial as we continue to build an elite Summit League athletics department. For the 2010-11 academic year, student-athlete scholarship expenses are expected to include: • Tuition (out-of-state): $17,692 • Room and Board: $10,130 • Tuition (in-state): $6,876 • Books and Fees: $1,612 In addition, over the past year it has become extremely difficult for budgets to keep pace with rising travel and food costs. While athletics must be vigilant in cost containment, we must continue to provide for the best possible student-athlete experience. That is where the KASF donors can play such a tremendous role. Donors to the KASF enjoy a number of benefits based on their donor level, including Priority Seating, access to the pre-game Kangaroo Club hospitality parties at men’s basketball games, invitations to a number of events, complimentary media guides and gifts, and exclusive opportunities to meet the student-athletes, staff, coaches, and University leadership.

THE SUMMIT LEAGUE As The Summit League concludes its third decade as an NCAA Division I athletics conference, the ascending level of performance among the 10 member institutions and over 3,000 student-athletes in 19 championship sports continues. Now in its 29th year, The Summit League is in the midst of a renaissance, both on the playing eld and in the classroom. During the 2009-10 academic year, the League produced a national champion, 11 All-Americans, eight Academic All-Americans and 33 IUPUI’s Chen Ni became The Summit Academic All-District honorees. League’s rst NCAA female national IUPUI’s Chen Ni made history champion, winning the women’s platform at the NCAA Swimming & Diving dive at the 2010 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships and highlighted Championships. the individual accomplishments in 2009-10. The sophomore became The Summit League’s rst female national champion, and fth NCAA titlist overall, when she nished rst in the platform dive. Also garnering national recognition was Oakland men’s basketball player Keith Benson, who received The Summit League’s rst national individual award for basketball performance when he was named the Lou Henson Award winner as the nation’s Mid-Major Player of the Year. The level of performance in men’s basketball continued to rise as The Summit League was one of just six leagues outside of the “power six” conferences to have both of its championship game participants compete with RPI ratings in the top 85. The Summit League had two teams post 25-win seasons, making it one of seven leagues outside of the “power six” and one of 12 overall in Division I to make that claim. Summit League champion Oakland set new standards for season League victories (17), winning percentage (.944) and tied the mark for consecutive League wins (16). The Summit League’s Basketball Championship extended its visibility in 2010, as for the rst time in history all 14 men’s and women’s tournament games were televised, including all seven men’s contests with a national reach via an ESPN platform. Overall attendance in Sioux Falls, S.D., was the second-highest on record and a new women’s quarternal session mark was set with 5,384 spectators. Several other sports also saw records fall during the 2009-10 campaign. In volleyball, North Dakota State set a new mark with its 37th consecutive League win en route to its second straight undefeated season. Additionally, the League set standards for postseason participation in both track & eld, where an all-time best 50 athletes qualied for the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Preliminary Rounds, and women’s basketball, where three teams advanced to postseason play. Academically, six Summit League teams were bestowed with the NCAA Public Recognition Award, an honor given to teams that have a Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR) in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. IPFW led with three teams on the list, including men’s cross country, women’s golf and volleyball, while another trio of teams, UMKC volleyball, North Dakota State women’s golf and Oakland women’s golf, also received accolades. The national reach of The Summit League continues to expand with member institutions selected as hosts for NCAA Championship events, beginning with UMKC serving as a co-host for the 2010 NCAA Volleyball Championship. IUPUI will serve as a co-host for the 2011 Women’s Final Four and the 2015 Men’s Final Four and be the host for both the 2013 and 2017 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships. League members were selected for several NCAA preliminary competitions with Oakland hosting the 2010 Cross Country Great Lakes Regional and 2013 Men’s Basketball First and

The Summit League

Second Rounds and IUPUI serving as co-host for one of the four 2013 Men’s Basketball Regionals. Originally formed in 1982 as the Association of Mid-Continent Universities and later known as the Mid-Continent Conference, The Summit League is in its fourth year of a rebranding that followed its 25th anniversary and coincided with the Summit Plan, a strategic plan that places a renewed emphasis on improving the academic and athletic performances of all league student-athletes. Included in the plan was the league’s new name, the creation of a new image and the addition of three member institutions. The Summit League has a combined enrollment of over 125,000 at 10 member institutions: Centenary College of Louisiana, IPFW (Indiana University-Purdue University-Fort Wayne), IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis), UMKC (University of Missouri-Kansas City), North Dakota State University, Oakland University, Oral Roberts University, South Dakota State University, Southern Utah University and Western Illinois University. In April 2009, the University of South Dakota accepted an invitation to join the league with full membership beginning in 201112 and currently serves as an associate member for swimming and diving. The League has one additional associate member in Eastern Illinois University, which currently competes in swimming and diving and will join in men’s soccer in 2011. These member institutions pride themselves on providing quality athletic, academic and social experiences for their student-athletes. Since its inception in 1982, The Summit League has had several transcendent moments on the national stage. In 1986, Cleveland State upset third-seeded Indiana in the rst round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament on its way to a berth in the Sweet 16. A decade later, Valparaiso captured the nation’s attention when Bryce Drew hit “the shot” to defeat No. 4 seed Mississippi in an NCAA rst-round game and spark its Sweet 16 run. More recently, Oral Roberts’ baseball program nished the 2004 campaign with a national-ranking and became the rst Summit League school to reach an NCAA Super Regional in 2006. Three years later, North Dakota State’s 2009 softball team became the rst League member to win an NCAA regional and advance to the Super Regional round. During the 2008-09 basketball season, South Dakota State’s women’s team was nationally-ranked throughout the year and capped its season with an NCAA Tournament rst round victory. The League has produced ve NCAA champions, four Olympic athletes and several All-Americans in the sports of track and eld, swimming and diving and cross country. Numerous professionals and several draft choices have come directly from The Summit League, including three Major League Baseball rst round picks, a pair of NBA rst rounders and one WNBA selection. Former Summit Leaguers Kevin Duckworth (NBA) and Kevin Seitzer (MLB) each were two-time all-stars during their professional careers. Recent and historical success coupled with an increased growth among its membership base gives The Summit League a promising future on the landscape of college athletics.

Kansas City

Cowtown Shmowtown Although Kansas City’s reputation outside the Midwest may be that of an agricultural cowtown, its residents know the truth. UMKC is in the middle of it all, with history, culture and entertainment options on all sides and within just a short walk or drive. Here’s just a few of the options that students at UMKC have at their disposal.

The Legends at Village West boasts 1.1 million square feet of retail space and is home to more than 100 shops and restaurants. This northern shopping mecca is also located by the Kansas Speedway and Community America Ballpark. The Kansas Speedway hosts major league racing events like NASCAR’s Nextel and Busch series and Indy Racing League. Community America Ballpark is home to the Kansas City T-Bones and serves as the temporary site for the Kansas City Wizards. The Wizards are currently constructing a new $160 million state-of-the-art stadium at Legends.

Located within a short walk from the Volker Campus, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art includes works of art from some of the great masters. The lawn of The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art resembles a badminton court with 18-ft.-tall sculptures, titled “Shuttlecocks.”

The Country Club Plaza offers 14 blocks of shopping amid beautiful Spanish architecture, fountains and statues. More than 80 miles of lights outline every building, dome and tower on the Country Club Plaza each holiday season. The Plaza is within a short walking distance from the Volker Campus. Kansas City is known as the City of Fountains with more than 200 fountains on the Plaza and in downtown KC.

56


Kansas City The $850 million Power & Light District is the largest new development project in the Midwest. Just steps from the Convention Center and a short drive from the Volker Campus, the Power & Light District features eight blocks of dining, nightlife and entertainment venues. Located next to the Power & Light District, the Sprint Center opened in downtown Kansas City in October 2007. The Sprint Center is a state-of-the-art, 18,500-seat arena offering marquee concerts and sporting events. Located in the Sprint Center, the College Basketball Experience celebrates college basketball by placing visitors in electrifying, game-like situations. Home to the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame as well, UMKC had the honor of opening the CBE and held its first practice of the 2007-08 season.

Municipal Auditorium has hosted more NCAA Tournament games and more Final Fours than any other venue in the country. The UMKC men’s and women’s basketball teams will also play a doubleheader at this historical venue during the 2010-11 season.

Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs, seats more than 79,000 on game day. The Kansas City Royals play in Kauffman Stadium, which just wrapped up a $250 million renovation. Kauffman Stadium’s unique features include a 322-foot-wide water spectacular. The water spectacular is the largest privately funded fountain in the world. Both teams play at the Truman Sports Complex.

The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum chronicles the history and heroes of the Negro Leagues from their founding after the Civil War to their demise in the 1960s. The first professional Negro Leagues were founded in Kansas City in 1920, just two blocks from the museum.


Kangaroos Out In The Community

A

s a member of the Kansas City community, the UMKC Athletics Department takes great pride in giving back to its neighbors and friends. The Kangaroos outdid themselves during the 2009-10 school year by hosting a plethora of successful events and volunteering their time. Here is a short list of the community service projects that UMKC teams and student-athletes took part in: ► The UMKC Athletics Department assisted students by helping them move their

personal belongings into their new homes as a part of Student Move-In Day 2009. Student-athletes, coaches and administrators from all 16 athletics teams helped their fellow students move into the Oak Street Residence Hall.

Coach Brown joined 300 basketball coaches from across the country teaming up to support this initiative.

► UMKC teamed up with The Summit League during the 2009-10 season and participated

in The Summit League’s Students Team Up To Fight Hunger (STUFH). The league designated 20 “Food Fight” games during the basketball season as part of a league-wide food drive initiative. The Kangaroos hosted “White Out” night where fans donned white t-shirts and donated over 900 pounds of food!

► UMKC administrators, staff members and student-athletes all partcipated in UMKC’s

“Walk A Mile In Her Shoes” event on campus. The event was an International Men’s March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault and Gender Violence.
