WHAT’S IN A NAME? The official school name is the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga which is the proper usage in first reference to the athletics program. The appropriate short form is simply Chattanooga with the abbreviated form of UTC. “Chatt” is acceptable as a leaderboard moniker. There is no hyphenated form of the school name (i.e. UTChattanooga, Tennessee-Chattanooga, Tenn.-Chatt., UT Chattanooga, etc.). The nickname is simply Mocs. For more information and current athletic marks, turn to page 14.

NO. 1 IN THE NATION The Chattanooga Mocs men’s golf team has twice been ranked No. 1 in the nation by Golfstat. Both occurences came in fall rankings in 2008 and 2009. In both cases, the Mocs started strong at the Carpet Capital Collegiate Classic with a win in 2008 and runner-up in 2009.

FORMER MOCS IN PROFESSIONAL GOLF Among the numerous golfing alums of the University, there are several in the world of professional golf. Jonathan Hodge (‘10) earned his Web.com Tour card in December 2012 at PGA Tour Q School. Stephan Jaeger (‘12) also reached the final stage of Q School and has Web.com Tour status for 2013. Jaeger and recent grads Bryce Ledford (‘07), Derek Rende (‘10) and Tripp Harris (‘10) are also working their way up through the myriad of tours (e.g. NGA/Hooters, eGolf, Canadian, etc.). Kip Henley (‘82) was the winner of the Golf Channel’s Big Break II and recently caddied for PGA Tour pro Brian Gay.

WHAT’S A MOC? NICKNAME & MARKS

THE ANSWER

WHY MOCS?

For more than a decade, this question has puzzled many fans and observers of Chattanooga Athletics. The UTC Athletics Department changed logos in 1997, moving away from Native American imagery to a package of logos using railroad images, the nickname “Mocs” and the Scrappy mascot. The new package emphasized UTC’s connection to Chattanooga and the city’s railroad heritage and incorporated the Tennessee state bird. The term “Moc” is short for “Mockingbird.” Mockingbirds are fiercely territorial creatures which protect their homes with courage, determination and skill. Those attributes reflect the intellect, spirit and character of UTC student-athletes and alumni. A Moc is a champion on the playing surface, in the classroom and, most importantly, in life.

Faced with politically sensitive issues and in need of a stronger core identity to help establish a strong brand as Chattanooga’s Team, the athletics department embarked on a comprehensive identity program in 1996. A new direction for the athletics identity was determined, moving away from the politically incorrect Native American Indian imagery. Several identities have been used in the past. With the old nickname “Moccasins,” a snake was used in the 1920s and an Indian was used until the year of major change in 1996. A moccasin shoe was even used in the 1980s. In 1996, it was decided to adopt the State Bird of Tennessee, the Mockingbird, as the core of the new identity, while incorporating the strong regional imagery of Chattanooga’s vast railroad history. The mascot “Scrappy” was born and a new emphasis was placed on the athletics department’s role in the region. The committee also recognized the need for the word “Chattanooga” to have a great emphasis in the logo. The nickname “Moccasins” was shortened to simply “Mocs”. Thus established, Chattanooga could rebuild its athletics programs and initiatives around this new identity. And rebuild it did. Quickly establishing the identity program in February 1997, combined with tremendous success in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, UTC had positioned itself to reach for the next level. From 1997 to 2007, the primary logo was the mascot, Scrappy, riding a train. The secondary logo features the front of a train with the word Mocs built into the logo. This logo is affectionately called the “Cowcatcher logo,” referring to the front lower grill of the train that helped push objects from the train tracks. In August 2007, officials at Chattanooga updated the school’s marks. A new C logo, the “Power C” as it has become known to fans and alums, was created as the primary mark and is emblazoned on the side of the football team’s helmets. The secondary marks were updated with a more modern look, and a new font, unique to the school, is now used on the text areas of the logos and marks. In September 2008, Scrappy was re-branded to better match the image of a mockingbird and reflect the rich tradition of our state, our city and our University. New marks of the head as well as a full body were released. The program has also been taking special efforts to stay true to its color palette—which includes navy blue and old gold.

SCRAPPY Named after legendary football coach A.C. “Scrappy” Moore, Scrappy, the Chattanooga mascot, is a fixture for the Mocs. A re-design in 2008 puts Scrappy in the image of the State Bird of Tennessee, the Mockingbird. The mockingbird is known as a fierce protector of its nest and environment. It is sometimes seen swooping down on a dog, cat or predator that may be venturing too close to the bird’s protected territory. Once described by “Late Night” host Jimmy Fallon as “a sledge-hammer wielding mockingbird with a heart of Blue & Gold,” Scrappy symbolizes that competitive passion.

2012-13 MEN’S GOLF

The “Power C” is the primary mark of the Chattanooga athletics department. It can be used alone or with “CHATTANOOGA MOCS” in the school’s custom-made font below the C.

MARK GUHNE SEVENTH SEASON

2012-13 MEN’S GOLF

Mark Guhne (pronounced JUNE) took the reins of the CChattanooga Mocs men’s golf team in 2005 and has led his aalma mater to unprecedented heights in men’s golf. He has sspearheaded a consistent presence in the national rankings. His impact is not just felt in one area of the program. The ssquad has excelled in each aspect of the UTC Athletics Mission SStatement which is to “guide, encourage and support our SStudent-Athletes in their quest for comprehensive excellence - academically, athletically and socially. Above all else, we pprepare Students for productive and meaningful lives.” With 16 team and 12 individual wins, a strong academic aachievement record and a solid presence in the community, iit’s t easy to see his commitment to establishing comprehensive excellence as the UTC standard.

16

ATHLETICALLY During Guhne’s tenure, the Mocs have been ranked No. 1 in the nation twice and won a NCAA Regional. Enough said? Not hardly. In 2012, four different individuals won five events – two collegiate. It included NCAA Regional and SoCon Championships by Stephan Jaeger and two Scottish summer titles: Tennant Cup (Liam Johnston) and North East Open (Chris Robb). Oh and Steven Fox captured the United States Amateur. Four of Chattanooga’s five Southern Conference Championships have been under his guidance, winning in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2012. His charges not only swept team and medalist honors at the 2012 SoCon Championship, but they followed it up with an epic sweep at the NCAA Bowling Green Regional coming from behind to beat the likes of UCLA, Texas A&M, Arkansas and Clemson. Six of his seven teams have advance to NCAA Regional play. Twice, 2009 and 2012, the Mocs moved on to compete in the NCAA Championship finishing 18th both times at Inverness in 2009 and Riviera Country Club in 2012. He has recruited and helped develop two All-Americans. Jaeger is the most recent, earning first team honors in 2012, while former teammate Jonathan Hodge made the second team in 2008. Guhne has mentored five of the last six SoCon Golfers of the Year in Hodge and Jaeger. Hodge won the award in 2007 and 2008, while Jaeger is the only student-athlete in league history to win it three times. Jaeger is the jewel of the Guhne years as the most decorated student-athlete in the program’s history. He holds virtually every tournament, season and career record of note. His four career wins along with Hodge (3) rank 1-2 among the all-time leaders. But the program was not built on just two student-athletes. Six different golfers have wins under Guhne, accounting for 12 overall. The team’s 16 overall wins include five postseason. The big regular season victory came just down the road at The Farm in Rocky Face, Ga., as Guhne’s Mocs won the prestigious Carpet Capital Collegiate Classic, in 2008. That win spurred the first No. 1 ranking in school history. The second came a year later in 2009. The top final team ranking is No. 12 (Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index) in 2008 with another top 25 in 2009 (No. 25). The 2012 team just missed out, ending up No. 27 on Golfstat. That 2007-08 team had a remarkable year in earning the No. 12 final ranking. It won a program-record five times with three medalist honors by Hodge, another school record later tied by Jaeger in 2012. Guhne has four SoCon Coach of the Year awards - 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012 - in his seven seasons with the top ranked team in the league over the last six. He was also named 2009 Eaton/Golf Pride East Region Coach of the Year. He’s had 10 PING All-East Region selections highlighted by Jaeger’s four appearances and Derek Rende’s three. Those two are four-time All-SoCon selections which accounts for eight of Guhne’s 19 all-league members. The 2011-12 team will be long remembered for the postseason title run as well as the remarkable effort by Jaeger. His three wins tied Hodge’s season record and his 22-under par total for the season led to first team All-American honors. Fox offered on of the top highlights of the campaign. His second round 64 (-8) set the course record at the Club at Olde Stone at the Bowling Green Regional. Jaeger became the first Mocs golfer since Donnie Green in 1978 to win the SoCon

Guhne with 2012 U.S. Amateur Champion Steven Fox

Championship and did so by tying Brad Faxon’s (Furman) record for margin of victory (11 shots). He also set the school 54-hole record shooting 13-under par 203 in winning the NCAA Bowling Green Regional. Guhne’s had several individuals ranked among the nation’s leaders year-in and year-out. Jaeger ended the 2012 season ranked No. 12 in the Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index which is another program best for the German. Hodge’s No. 26 in 2008 is second to Jaeger, but it is also the only time the Mocs have had three top 100 performers in the same season. Rende (74) and Fredrik Qvicker (88) joined Hodge as the squad boasted four All-Southern Conference performers with that trio and Ben Rickett. Guhne’s 2010-11 squad showcased his ability to continue moving the program forward. His No. 1-ranked squads did so with a remarkably similar roster. This one followed those years with just one junior (Jaeger) and a sophomore (Fox) to go with three freshmen in the lineup. That group had the fewest losses in Guhne’s six seasons with just 41 in 11 events. The young squad had many memorable moments. They knocked off three top 15 programs in national runnerup Georgia, Stanford and Iowa in a week’s time finishing second at the Linger Longer and LSU National Invites to Alabama and LSU, respectively. As part of the growth of the student-athlete, Guhne encourages aggressive summer tournament schedules. During his tenure, five players have qualified for the U.S. Amateur, three in 2007 in Hodge, Rende and Bryce Ledford. Jaeger qualified in 2011 and Fox won it in 2012. Qvicker finished as low amateur at the 2007 Scandanavian Masters, while Rickett qualified for the 2007 English Amateur, finishing in the final 16, and the 2008 British and English Ams. Rickett, Qvicker and Jaeger all advanced to match play at the Amateur together in 2009. Rende won the 2007 Tennessee State Open and then followed in 2008 with a win at the Tennessee State Amateur. Hodge qualified for the Western Refining All-American in 2008 and played a phenomenal summer schedule which included a third-round finish at the North/South Amateur. Jaeger was a wild-card entry in the 2011 BMW International Open on the European Tour. Fox won the 2011 Tennessee Match Play Championship. He made a run at the 2009 Tennessee Open title finishing tied for second to Ledford and was a semi-finalist at the 2010 Match Play Championship. He and incoming freshman Kory Webb won their qualifiers for the 2012 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship. ACADEMICALLY Chattanooga’s men’s golf team takes the term student-athlete to heart. The team yearly posts one of the athletic department’s top team GPA’s and in 2012 received national notice. The squad achieved a perfect multi-year APR score of 1,000 for the period 2008-11. It became the first program in UTC history to attain the mark over a four-year period. While maintaining eligibility and graduating is important in athletics, the Mocs have excelled in the classroom. Every student-athlete that Guhne has brought to Chattanooga and completed eligibility has graduated. During the 2008-11 time period, the Mocs had two All-America scholars in Jaeger and Rende along with multiple Academic All-SoCon, Dean’s List and Athletic Director’s Honor Roll mentions. The team’s commitment to the classroom mirrors its play on the course.

The team also hosted a golf sskills k open house for the group prior to the 22011 NCAA Colorado Regional at the Player DDevelopment Complex. In 2012, Jaeger coordinated the tteam’s e efforts making certain there was an aactive c presence at C.H.I.P.S. events. It is just

another example of how Guhne continues his efforts in establishing comprehensive excellence as the Mocs standard. Guhne was elevated to the head coaching position on March 1, 2005, after three seasons serving as assistant coach to Reed Sanderlin. A PGA professional, Guhne has earned Class A status and was the 2007 Horton Smith Award winner. He was elected president of the Chattanooga chapter of the PGA in 2008. Among his playing accomplishments, Guhne was selected to the 2007 Tennessee Challenge Cup team. In 2003 and 2004, he represented Tennessee in the Tennessee vs. Georgia PGA Cup Matches. Mark and his wife Kelly are both Chattanooga graduates with each earning degrees in 1984. The couple resides in Hixson, Tenn. He is an avid fisherman in his spare time.

Ben Rickett, Assistant Coach Ben was named full-time assistant with the men’s golf program in May of 2010 after serving one year as a student assistant while finishing his degree in psychology. He assists head coach Mark Guhne in all aspects of managing the program including recruiting, equipment purchasing, practice and oncourse coaching. His greatest claim to fame came at the 2012 United States Amateur final. With Steven Fox two down through 18 holes, Rickett took over the bag as caddie. Fox ended up leveling the match on the final hole after being two down and dormie with two to play. He won the match on the 37th hole crediting his caddie’s stellar work. Rickett was a four-year letterwinner for the Mocs playing 116 rounds in his four seasons averaging 73.66 strokes per rounds. His best year came as a senior in 2008-09 where he led the team ranking No. 107 in the Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index. That year, Rickett posted a team-best four top 10 finishes and eight top 20. He earned PING All-East Region honors along with his second All-SoCon honor. His best finish was tied for second at the Aldila Scenic City Invitational shooting 205 (-11). Most impressive finish was tying for eighth at the PING Golfweek Preview (212, -1). Ben carded 16 rounds in the 60s for his career, 39 par or better with 10 top 10s. He tied for second twice at the Aldila Scenic City Invitational in 2007 and 2008 with his 2007 result of 11-under par 205 serving as his career best. His low of 66 came at the 2007 Scenic City. He counted in 60 of his final 68 team rounds. A native of Surrey, England, Rickett is a former top 100 in the world as an amateur. He made match play at the 2009 British Amateur as well as several English Amateurs reaching the round of 16 in 2006.

The 2012-13 Chattanooga Mocs men’s golf team looks to maintain the momentum built at the end of the 2011-12 season. UTC swept team and individual titles at the Southern Conference Championship and NCAA Bowling Green Regional. The team ran away with the SoCon crown by 19 shots. It then came from behind to best Texas A&M and UCLA in Bowling Green. Back are five who started a minimum of six events. Gone is PING First Team All-American Stephan Jaeger who won medalist at both postseason Steven Fox enters his senior season after winning the United events. States Amateur title in August. “It’s always tough when you lose a player like Jaeger,” said head coach Mark Guhne of the young man who set virtually every school record during his career. “Of course we have a pretty good one coming back to build around.” Guhne is referring to the young man who built on the program’s momentum ending the 2012 season. That’s Steven Fox, 2012 United States Amateur Champion. Possibly the single greatest feat in UTC athletics history. “I could not be happier for, nor prouder of Steven,” Guhne added. “He had a magical week but it is something he built toward over his three years here.” Junior Chris Robb (Aberdeenshire, Scotland) and sophomore Liam Johnston (Dumfries, Scotland) each started both the SoCon, where Robb was runner-up, and NCAA events. Juniors Benni Weilguni (Lagenlois, Austria) and Davis Bunn also saw postseason action with Weilguni getting the nod at the SoCon Championship and Bunn stepping in for the NCAA run. Senior Alex Ratliff (Kingsport, Tenn.) returns for his final season. Guhne also welcomes a trio of talented freshmen - Wes Gosselin (Knoxville, Tenn.), Michael Monroe (Franklin, Tenn.) and Kory Webb (Knoxville, Tenn.). g g slate ahead of them beginning in Dalton, Ga., That ggroupp of nine have a challenging w with one of the most prestigious eevents in golf, the Carpet Capital CCollegiate Championship. Known aas the “Masters of College Golf”, tthe Carpet Capital annually aattracts an elite field. This year iiss no different with Chattanooga bbeing joined by the likes of fellow NNCAA Championship participants AAlabama, Auburn, Georgia, UNF aand national champion Texas iinn the 15-team field. Clemson, GGeorgia Tech, LSU and Tennessee aare also in the mix. “Our 2008 win here is one of Chris Robb was runner-up to Stephan Jaeger at the SoCon the top moments in my coaching Championship.

career,” Guhne noted. “It is such a very special place. Short of NCAA titles, you can’t really top winning the Carpet Capital. Plus our families, friends and fans can easily come out and join us over the weekend.” The Carpet Capital is played at the Farm in Rocky Face (Dalton), Ga. It is a 30mile drive from downtown Chattanooga affording golf fans in the area an excellent opportunity to see this year’s team open the season. It doesn’t get any easier for the Mocs. The PING/Golfweek Preview is the following week at the Capital City Club Crabapple Course outside Atlanta. That’s the host site for the NCAA Championship in the spring. Another star-studded 15-team field awaits with Texas, Alabama, Cal, UCLA, Washington, Georgia and Georgia Tech among those awaiting Chattanooga. In fact, seven of the eight teams that earned match play in the 2012 championship are in the tourney. Next are two familiar events for UTC. The team travels to the Brickyard Collegiate Oct. 5-7 in Macon, Ga., and the AutoTrader.com Collegiate Classic Oct. 15-16 in Duluth, Ga. It concludes the fall at the Bridgestone Golf Collegiate Oct. 27-28 in Greensboro, N.C. “It is a very aggressive fall schedule,” Guhne continued. “We see the defending national champion (Texas) twice and keep coming across Alabama, the runner-up last year. But it shows how far along our program has come and where it is headed.” The spring opens in Texas for the Redstone Collegiate Championship in the Houston suburb of Humble, Texas. The event is Feb. 22-24 at Redstone Golf Club. Chattanooga returns to action in March at the Auburn Tiger Shootout March 11-12 on the Grand National Lake Course in Auburn. The Mocs return to the Furman Intercollegiate March 22-24 in Greenville, S.C. April opens at the Reunion Intercollegiate in Jackson, Miss., on the first and second. UTC won Ole Miss’ tournament in its only other visit to Reunion Golf and Country Club in 2008. The regular season concludes April 6-7 in Concord, N.C., for Charlotte’s Irish Creek Intercollegiate. “Those 10 tournaments (fall & spring) are designed to have Liam Johnston shot 62 this past summer to capture the Tennant us playing our best heading into Cup in Scotland. championship season,” Guhne added. The Mocs defend their SoCon Championship April 21-23 at the Ralston Creek Course in Daniel Island, S.C. NCAA Regionals, another title defense, are May 16-18 at the following sites: Baton Rouge, La. (University Club), Columbus, Ohio (Scarlet Course), Fayetteville, Ark. (The Blessings G.C.), Pullman, Wash. (Palouse Ridge G.C.), Tallahassee, Fla. (Golden Eagle C.C.) and Tempe, Ariz. (Karsten G.C.). The NCAA Championship is May 28-June 2 at Capital City Club Crabapple Course. Alpharetta, Ga., will welcome 30 teams and six individuals for 54 holes of stroke play crowning an individual medalist. The top eight teams at that point move on the three days of match play to decide the 2013 Champion. “Our eyes are always on winning the SoCon Championship and grabbing a coveted top five spot in regionals to make it to the finals,” he concluded. “From there, we are trying to break down that wall and make match play. “This year’s as good as any to do that.”

Chattanooga also brought home 36 All-SoCon honors, while 18 student-athletes made various SoCon All-Freshmen teams. • Chattanooga also boasts the reigning Unites States Amateur Champion Steven Fox. He captured the coveted title defeating Michael Weaver in 37 holes.

SOCIALLY • The Mocs volunteered at numerous community events throughout the year, including National Volunteer Week, Special Olympics, Read Across America and many more. • The Mocs looked to expand their presence in the surrounding areas with Caravan trips to Atlanta and Nashville. Not to forget their closest fans, the studentathletes again took part in Operation Move-In, helping freshmen unload into their dorms to begin the fall semester. • Being engaged in the community can extend past volunteering. The Mocs created a stir with a number of creative marketing ideas, including the Go Blue Be Gold football game against Jacksonville State , the Black Out men’s basketball game against UNCG, Phillip D.

The Southern Conference, which begins its 92nd season of intercollegiate competition in 2011, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and defining the league’s role in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The SoCon is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the SoCon’s tradition. League athletes have been recognized countless times on Verizon/CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions. The SoCon has sent three schools to regionals in three of the last six years with the Mocs leading the charge in 2009, 2010 and 2011 and with multiple individual berths including Emma de Groot in 2008. A SoCon school has qualified for the NCAA Championship four times since the turn of the century with the Mocs being the most recent entry in 2009. The Southern Conference office is located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, the Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the SoCon a first-class meeting area and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.
