Vandal

2000 NCAA Champion Joachim Olsen

The University of Idaho track and field program has had success in the recent past, but its championship roots go back to the turn of the century. The Idaho team had a breakout year in 1905, when it finished second in the Lewis and Clark Exposition Games at Portland, Ore. Leading the charge for the Vandals was Clarence “Hec” Edmundson, who won two events for the three-man team, despite competing against nationally recognized schools from across the Northwest. Edmundson impressed spectators with his graceful form and unfaltering determination. The Lewis and Clark Games helped lay the groundwork for a growing track and field team that would go on to add many more pages to the books of Vandal legend. In 1908, Edmundson organized the school’s first cross country team and later that same year, he represented the United States in the 800m run at the Olympic Games at London. In 1909, Edmundson was the top halfmiler in the country, a title which held up for three more years. By the time he graduated in 1910, Edmundson had set such high standards that some of his school records were untouched for 17 years. In 1912, he headed to Stockholm for his second Olympic Games competition, where he was a finalist in the 800m and a semifinalist in the 400m. Edmundson was the first, but certainly not the last, Olympian to hail from the state of Idaho. By 1915, yet another Vandal track star was National Record Holders receiving national acclaim.

Zimbabwe.............60m (Indoor)................................................6.70 Vandal sprinter Chris Stokes, a member of Idaho’s 1985 school-record 4x100m relay team, probably will be remembered for something a little different. Stokes, a native of Jamaica, was one of the original members of the Jamaican bobsled team that competed in the 1988 Olympics and inspired the Disney movie “Cool Runnings.” It became apparent as early as high school that there was something special about Dan O’Brien. In his senior year at Henley High School at Klamath Falls, Ore., he earned four state track titles and earned all-state honors in both football and basketball. O’Brien was a 1989 NCAA qualifier in the 55m hurdles, where he finished seventh. In that same year, he established a school record of 7,988 in the decathlon. That still stands today as the Idaho school record and the all-time Big Sky Conference record. In 1991, O’Brien began a career of world domination in the decathlon with a gold-medal finish in the event at the World Championships with a score of 8,812. Later that year, he won the event at the USA Outdoors with a score of 8,844 and earned a No. 1 ranking by Track and Field News. After a no-height in the pole vault kept him out of the 1992 Olympic Games, O’Brien came back with a vengeance. At a meet in Talence, France, later that year, he set a world record in the decathlon with a score of 8,891 and beat Olympic champion Robert Zmelik by 547 points. O’Brien won his second World Championship in 1993 with an 8,817-point effort to give him another No. 1 world ranking. That same year, O’Brien set a world record, which still stands today, in the heptathlon at the World Indoor Championship with a score of 6,476. Over the next two years, O’Brien won another World Championship and USA Outdoor championship to give him three titles for each meet. Four-time All-American

O’Brien won the decathlon at the 1996 Olympic Trials and earned a spot on the 1996 U.S. Olympic Team. He made the most of his opportunity and earned the gold medal in the event to become the first American to win the decathlon in 20 years. After not competing in 1997 because of injury, O’Brien returned in 1998 for the Goodwill Games, where he scored 8,755 points and earned his record sixth No. 1 ranking from Track and Field News. In November of 2006, “The World’s Greatest Athlete,” Dan O’Brien was inducted into the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame. As the Vandals changed athletic conferences, one thing didn’t change – success. Idaho won five Big Sky outdoor team championships from 1981 to 1996, then took the move to the Big West in stride and took home

Tradition

the 1997 Big West Outdoor Championship in its first year in the conference. That title would be the first of six total team titles and 60 individual Big West titles from 1997 to 2005. In 1996, Tawanda Chiwira came to Idaho from Zimbabwe. In his four years at Idaho, Chiwira was an AllAmerican in both the 400m dash and the 4x400m relay. He left the school as the Vandal men’s all-time top conference outdoor scorer with 81 points. A 1996 Olympian and World Championship finalist, Chiwira used his experience to help create a foundation of success for his Idaho teams. Chiwira holds Zimbabwe’s 200m indoor national record and was a member of two national-record relays, as well. He was a member of Zimbabwe’s nationalrecord 4x400m and 4x100m relays. Former Vandal teammate Felix Kamangirira was also a member of the 4x100m relay team. In 1998, Idaho welcomed another world-class athlete in high jumper Hugo Munoz of Peru. Like Chiwira, Munoz was a 1996 Olympian. During his Vandal career, Munoz was a two-time NCAA qualifier. In 1999, Munoz broke a 20-year-old outdoor school record in the high jump with a leap of 7-3¾. Munoz’s indoor personal best of 7-3¾ in the event is the national record for Peru. Before helping set both the indoor and outdoor school records in the 4x400m relay in 1998, former Vandal Adekunle Adejuyigbe was a world-class sprinter from Nigeria. In 1995, Adejuyigbe earned a bronze medal at the World Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden. In doing so, Adejuigbe became the youngest medalist in the history of the World Championships. He was only 18 years, 5 months old at the time. Joachim Olsen came to Idaho from Denmark in 1999 and immediately established himself as both a Big West and a national force in the throws. In Olsen’s four years at Idaho, he earned six Big West individual titles and qualified for the NCAA Championship every year. In six NCAA Championship appearances for the shot put, Olsen never finished lower than third and took home the 2000 NCAA title to become the third NCAA champion in Idaho track and field history. Olsen also qualified twice in the discus and finished sixth both times. Olsen left Idaho in 2002 as the most decorated athlete in Idaho track and field

history with eight All-America honors to his name. Olsen went on to compete in the 2004 Olympic Games for Denmark, where he won a bronze medal. He ended the 2004 track and field season as the world’s topranked athlete in the shot put. In 2001, thrower Katja Schreiber brought Idaho its first women’s NCAA individual title. After finishing fourth at the 2000 NCAA Outdoor Championship, Schreiber returned in 2001 and launched the discus 197-11 to earn the national title. Her closest competition was more than 13 feet behind. Sprinter Angela Whyte ended her Vandal career in 2003 as a four-time All-American, five-time Big West individual champion and the owner of 13 school records. Whyte was a two-time Big West Athlete of the Year as she helped bring the Idaho women team titles in 2001 and 2003. She also finished third in the heptathlon at the 2003 NCAA Outdoor Championship. In 2003, Whyte competed in her first IAAF World Championship where she finished 12th in the 100m hurdles. In 2007, she finished eighth at the competition. Whyte represented Canada in the Olympics in 2004 and 2008, with a sixth-place finish in 2004. In 2005, Idaho moved to the Western Athletic Conference and immediately made an impact Idaho took the women’s cross country team and individual titles by placing four runners in the top five, which included WAC champion and Cross Country Athlete of the Year, Dee Olson. In 2006, another Vandal took home the individual title. True freshman Rhea Richter won the women’s individual title and earned WAC Athlete of the Year and WAC Freshman of the Year honors. In 2008, Allix Lee-Painter won the women’s title and earned WAC Athlete of the Year accolades in cross country, then followed it up with a 2009 WAC Indoor Track Performer of the Year and in 2010 with a WAC Outdoor Track Performer of the Year honor and WAC High Point Award. She finished her career in 2010 as the only woman in WAC history to be named Athlete of the Year in three differenlt sports. Ulrike Hartz was named WAC Outdoor Field Performer of the Year in 2010 after winning the World Championship Finalists heptathlon and javelin and scoring in the long jump, 200m and 4x100m relay.

Transforming an Icon One of the unique facilities in all of college athletics, the ASUIKibbie Event Center, affectionately knownas the “Kibbie Dome,” will undergo the second stage of a major renovation in the summer of 2011. A few hundred feet to the West, another history-filled Idaho facility, the Dan O’Brien Track & Field Complex, is getting a face-lift of its own. The home of Vandal track and field is being completely rebuilt in time for the 2011-12 season.

Interior upgrades to the Kibbie Dome include the new Bob Curtis Press Box (top) on the North side of the field, and the new premium seating sections (bottom), including loge boxes, suites and a club room. These renovations will update and expand the press box area and add an extra revenue source for the University of Idaho with the new seating options and the best view in college football.

Another Title in the Books

For the third time since 2005, Idaho women’s cross country claimed a Western Athletic Conference team title. The Vandal women earned four all-WAC honors and put four athletes in the top 11 to run away with the team title. It was the perfect cap to an impressive all-around season that saw Idaho earn a ranking as high as 12th in the West Region by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. In a sport strongly individual-oriented, Idaho’s team strength stood out all season. In the team’s six meets in 2010, the Vandals had six different top-five finisher combinations, while junior Julia Veseth, freshman Hannah Kiser and junior Lauren Schaffer each claimed the top finisher spot twice. That balance was key in the team’s WAC title run, and in team wins at the All-Idaho Cup (Moscow, Idaho) and the Charles Bowles Invitational (Salem, Ore.). October’s WAC Cross Country Championships marked Idaho’s first go-around hosting a WAC event, and Idaho’s women made sure it was a success. They added to their WAC trophy haul that already includes the 2005 and 2007 team titles. Since Idaho joined the WAC for the 2005 season, Idaho has won either the women’s individual or team title every year except for 2009. Schaffer and Kiser were all-WAC first team honorees, while seniors Maggie Miller and Erica Digby took second-team all-WAC accolades. Four more Vandals, Veseth, Schaffer, junior Anna Kalbrener and sophomore Laurel Draper, were honored as WAC All-Academic honorees after the season. In a second-place team effort at the Sundodger Invitational (Seattle, Wash.), Kiser broke Idaho’s freshman course record with a time of 21:30.79 on the 6000m course in a ninth-place finish, while Veseth was close behind in 10th. The 93-runner field saw seven Vandals in the top 32 and every Idaho athlete in the top half of the finishers.

Young Vandals Show Promise Idaho’s men’s cross country team found itself in the uncommon situation this season of having a team composed almost entirely of underclassmen. That doesn’t mean the Vandals were short on talent or experience. Fueled by a friendly rivalry between a pair of standout runners, and the emergence of a crop of young athletes, Idaho’s men took the All-Idaho Cup team title to open the season, grabbed third out of 10 teams at the Sundodger Invitational, finished fourth out of 23 at the Charles Bowles Invitational, fourth at the Dellinger Invitational and fifth at the WAC Championships. Sophomore Barry Britt, an All-Region pick and first-team all-WAC honoree, was Idaho’s top finisher three times, while junior Markus Geiger, also a first-team all-WAC runner, claimed the other three top spots. Britt broke Idaho’s course record for the Charles Bowles Invitational course, while Geiger out-kicked Britt to win the All-Idaho Cup individual title at the beginning of the season. Sophomore Jeff Osborn and juniors Alex Brekke, Michael Armon and Jeremiah Dubie made significant strides throughout the season, including Osborn’s 103-second improvement and Brekke’s 95-tick jump on the Sundodger course. The team’s 24:48.19 average time on the Charles Bowles course is its fastest ever Britt kept things rolling in a big way after the season, as he went on to finish seventh at the Canadian Championships and earn a spot on the Canadian senior team for the North American, Central American and Caribbean Championships. After the team took second and Britt finished fourth individually, he joined the team in representing Canada at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships, where he finished 98th.

2010-11 Idaho Cross Country/Track & Field Yearbook

2011 Indoor Season in Review There were honors and accomplishments abound for Idaho track and field in the 2011 indoor season. The year was taken as a developmental year, as a handful of men’s and women’s athletes redshirted the season, but Idaho’s young talent made itself known in their stead. Vandal athletes claimed six total Western Athletic Conference titles, three each for the men and women, and only one of those was taken by a senior. Idaho’s men took fourth in the team standings with 69 points and won three WAC titles in 2011. Junior Markus Geiger was Idaho’s star of the meet with his 18 points scored, 5000m individual title and WAC Men’s Track Co-Performer of the Meet honor. Junior Jeremy Klas defended his WAC pole vault throne with a leap of 17-1, and went on to earn U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Honorable Mention All-America honors after qualifying for his second-consecutive NCAA Championship meet in the event. Senior Eugenio Mannucci earned his first indoor WAC gold in the shot put after hitting 59-0.25 to win that competition. He finished the season ranked 30th in the NCAA and won seven of his eight shot put competitions during the season. In all, Idaho men earned four first-team all-WAC honors and 13 second-team all-WAC awards. Five of those honors were given to freshmen and five more by sophomores. The Vandal women saw their newcomers come through with points and titles while a large group of regular scorers, including all-WAC honorees Lauren Schaffer, Erica Digby, Kelly Jacka, Ellen Rouse and Julia Veseth, took redshirt seasons. As a team, Idaho took eighth at the WAC Indoor Championships with a score of 44. The open slots allowed for new and young Vandals to step in and claim prominent roles at the WAC Championships. The best illustration of this was the women’s distance medley relay, which went from third to first on the final lap and claimed WAC gold with freshman Hannah Kiser, sophomores Keli Hall and Liga Velvere, and junior Anna Kalbrener. In addition to their relay gold, Kiser and Velvere added individual titles in the 3000m and 800m, respectively, to round out the team’s titles. Kiser was the only freshman at the meet to win two WAC titles, while Velvere was Idaho’s top scorer with 13.25 points. Junior Gabby Midles earned first-team all-WAC honors in the 20-lb. weight throw for the second year in a row as she took third overall with a heave of 57-2.75. Another newcomer, sophomore Kristine Leonard, took sixth and earned second-team all-WAC honors in the shot put with a toss of 44-7. Two Vandals made history in 2011, and they both did so at the WSU Open II on Feb. 19. Klas cleared 17-9 to break the meet record and Idaho school record in the pole vault. Shortly after, Velvere ran a converted time of 55.46 to break Idaho’s 11-year-old women’s record in the 400m. Klas’ mark was the fifth-best in the NCAA in 2011. Sophomore Barry Britt had a fantastic indoor season – but not in an Idaho uniform. The breakout cross country performer was selected to represent his home country of Canada at the North American, Central American and Caribbean Cross Country Championships, then the IAAF World Cross Country Championships, in the spring. As an unattached competitor, he ran an 8:07.89 in the 3000m at the Husky Classic on Feb. 12, which broke the New Brunswick provincial record and was faster than the Idaho school record in the event. In addition to their athletic achievements, Idaho’s 2011 squad took care of classroom business, too. A total of 33 Vandals were honored with WAC All-Academic awards, 18 men and 15 women. Klas also claimed a Capital One Second Team Academic All-District VIII honor, as well as a USTFCCCA Division I AllAcademic honor for his indoor exploits.

2010-11 Idaho Cross Country/Track & Field Yearbook

2011 Men’s Outdoor Season in Review Vandal men’s outdoor track and field put together another solid outdoor season in 2011. The Idaho men made history on multiple levels and brought in yet another All-America honor, four NCAA qualifiers, five Western Athletic Conference individual titles and one school record. Senior Eugenio Mannucci put a cap on an outstanding Idaho career with his third WAC shot put title, second NCAA Championships bid and his first U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Second-Team All-America accolade. Fellow senior Lucas Pope nabbed his fifth career gold medal at the WAC Outdoor Championships in May, and in the process, took the Idaho outdoor school record with a vault of 17-3. That mark made him an NCAA qualifier for the first time in his career, and also clinched his undefeated head-to-head record against non-Idaho WAC vaulters. Teammate Jeremy Klas is the only WAC athlete to best Pope head-to-head in his Idaho career. Junior Andrew Blaser made a remarkable comeback from a back injury sustained in a 2010 car accident and did even better than just returning to his original form. The Vandal decathlete added more than 1,000 points to his career-best score and hit personal-best marks in nine of the 10 decathlon disciplines during the season. He claimed decathlon gold with a career-best score of 7,037 at the WAC Championships, then earned three-more all-WAC honors in the 110m hurdles, high jump and pole vault, and led all Idaho men with 22.33 points scored. Junior Barry Britt put together some of the best distance races ever by a Vandal in 2011, and made history as the first Idaho man to take double golds in the 5000m and 10,000m. The Canadian’s 30:24.99 at the WAC Championships is the fifth-best 10,000m in Idaho history and is a New Brunswick provincial record. His 14:08.90 in the 5000m earlier in the season is the second-fastest ever by a Vandal. There were also plenty of fresh faces who made themselves known on the men’s side. Redshirt freshman Kyle Rothwell earned one first-team and one second-team all-WAC honor, as he took third in the hammer and sixth in the discus. Fellow redshirt frosh Andrey Levkiv was a second-team honoree after a sixth-place shot put finish. Junior Mike Marshall, a junior-college transfer, took fourth in the javelin throw for secondteam all-WAC honors, and moved into ninth all-time at Idaho in the event with a season-best of 202-6. Seniors Mike Carpenter and Sam Michener, both of whom leave Idaho as WAC champions and multipletime first-team all-WAC honorees, finished their careers in 2011. They were both members of Idaho’s 2009 WAC champion and NCAA regionally-qualifying 4x100m relay team, while Carpenter was a 10-time firstteam all-WAC performer and Michener is a two-time first-teamer and four-time second-team honoree. Carpenter battled a leg injury during the year, but still scored for Idaho in the 4x400m relay. He will go down as the first Vandal man to clear 17 feet in the pole vault. He was a two-time WAC runner-up in the indoor heptathlon and a seven-time first-team all-WAC honoree between the indoor and outdoor pole vault, as well as a former school record holder in both. Michener led off Idaho’s 2009 title-winning 4x100m relay, then took third in the 100m at the 2010 WAC Championships. He was a 2010 NCAA qualifier, but after running a career-best 10.59 in the event in 2011, missed a second-straight NCAA bid by a mere three one-hundredths of a second. As a team, Idaho sent Blaser, Britt, Mannucci and Pope to the NCAA West Preliminary Round. Mannucci’s ninth-place finish in the shot put made him the fifth man in Idaho history to earn back-to-back NCAA Championships bids, and his 15th overall finish at the meet gave him his first career All-America honor. In the classroom, the Vandal men were also a successful group. Idaho men claimed 16 WAC All-Academic honors in the Spring. Junior Jeremiah Dubie, junior Markus Geiger and Mannucci earned Capital One SecondTeam Academic All-District VIII honors for the outdoor season, while Mannucci was also recognized as the University of Idaho College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Pre-Veterinary Senior of the Year.

2011 Women’s Outdoor Season in Review Idaho’s women were young and inexperienced in 2011, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t successful. After graduating one of the best senior classes in Vandal history last season, Idaho’s women needed to re-tool and reload, and that’s exactly what they did. Five Vandal women were NCAA qualifiers, four won Western Athletic Conference titles, seven earned first-team all-WAC and eight earned second-team honors. There were also two school records, one WAC record and 16 entries into the Idaho all-time top-10 – and not a single senior among them. Alycia Butterworth (3000m steeplechase) and Hannah Kiser (5000m) made history as Idaho’s first female freshman NCAA qualifiers. That pair, along with Holly Stanton, formed a group of three Vandal freshmen to crack the Idaho record books. Another firstyear Vandal, Emily Paradis, was a WAC scorer in her very first year. A pair of first-year Vandal sophomores also jumped into the record books and scored well for Idaho. Liga Velvere jumped into the Idaho record book in the 400m, 800m, 400m hurdles and 4x400m relay. She was an NCAA qualifier and WAC champion in the 400m hurdles. Leonard earned second-team all-WAC honors in the shot put with a fourth-place finish. Her bests of 157-10 in the discus and 46-2.75 in the shot put move her to sixth and eighth, respectively, in the Idaho record books. Redshirt sophomore Keli Hall missed 2010 with injury, but came back strongly this season. She earned her first career outdoor first-team all-WAC honor with a third-place finish in the 800m and improved her career-best in the event by five full seconds during the season. Junior Lauren Schaffer stepped into the elite class in her specialty event in 2011. She defended her outdoor WAC title in the 800m with a 2:04.53, the fastest time in Idaho history and WAC Outdoor Championship history. She advanced to the NCAA quarterfinal round in the event and finished the year with the nation’s 10th-fastest time. Junior Gabby Midles was Idaho’s other record-breaker during the year. She bested her own top mark in the women’s hammer throw with a toss of 194-6 at the Sam Adams Classic on Apr. 2 and claimed her second-consecutive WAC hammer crown with a 192-11 at the WAC Championships. She was also an NCAA qualifier in the hammer for a second year in a row. Anna Kalbrener, another Vandal junior, rounded out the team’s 2011 first-team all-WAC honorees after her third-place finish in the women’s 1500m. Fellow third-year Vandal Julia Veseth was a double scorer in the women’s 5000m and 10,000m, with fourth-place finishes in each. As bright as 2011 was for Idaho, the future may be even brighter, since the team lost no athletes to graduation this season. The two seniors on the Vandal roster, second-team all-WAC honorees Erica Digby and Maggie Miller, redshirted the outdoor season, as did 2010 four-time all-WAC honoree, sophomore Kelly Jacka, and two-time second-team all-WAC pick, junior Ellen Rouse. Idaho women made historical entries in 11 events in 2011, ranging from the 400m to the hammer throw. Velvere held top honors with four entries, but Schaffer made three (400m, 800m, 4x400m), Kiser (1500m, 5000m) and Leonard (shot put, discus) made two each, and Kalbrener, Hall, Veseth, Butterworth, Stanton, Midles, sophomore Karlene Hurrel and sophomore Sarah Nutsch each made one entry. Idaho’s women maintained their strong academic presence with 18 total WAC All-Academic honors. Five Vandal women, Laurel Draper, Ali Middleton, Emma Goode, Kiser and Ailene MacPherson, finished the season with 4.0 cumulative gradepoint averages.

The 2011 season marked Wayne Phipps’ first season as Idaho’s Director of Track & Field/Cross Country and his 16th overall year with the program. He served as cohead coach from 2000-09 and was an assistant before that from 1995-99. In his time at Idaho, he has been honored six times as a conference coach of the year and has led the Vandals to eight total conference titles. Since 2000, Phipps has overseen an Idaho track and field/cross country program that has produced four individual cross country champions, 33 indoor track and field champions and 92 outdoor champions. Vandals have claimed 15 conference athlete of the year awards, broken 12 conference records and qualified for the NCAA Championships 76 times. Since 2000, Vandal athletes have broken 26 indoor school records and 23 outdoor records, and at least one school record has fallen every year at Idaho during his tenure. Additionally, Idaho has a very strong academic reputation as regular honorees among the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Division I All-Academic Teams in both men’s and women’s cross country and track and field. Since 2005, three Idaho track and field athletes have earned the Western Athletic Conference’s prestigious Stan Bates Award as the top male or female student-athlete in the conference, and the team’s athletes have been recognized with a combined 345 WAC All-Academic honors. Success is a staple under Phipps, and it began with his very first year at the position, when, in 2000, the Vandal men won the Big West title and Phipps was honored as 2000 Big West Men’s Track and Field Coach of the Year. In 2001, both the men and women won Big West titles and Phipps was chosen Big West Men’s Track and Field Coach of the Year once again. In each of his first three years at Idaho, the men’s team finished in the top 30 in the nation both indoors and outdoors to make Idaho one of only nine schools in the nation to do so. Phipps’ success wasn’t limited to track and field, as he also led the Vandal women to a 2002 Big West Cross Country title and earned Big West Cross Country Coach of the Year honors. In 2003, the women’s track and field team took home the Big West title. Phipps led the Vandals to uncharted territory in 2004 when the women’s cross country team qualified for the NCAA Championships for the first time in the program’s history and finished 25th overall. The 2005 cross country season saw even more success, as the women’s team took home the University of Idaho’s first Western Athletic Conference title. Four Vandal runners finished in the top five and Dee Olson earned the individual title, as well as WAC Athlete of the Year and Phipps earned his fourth career Coach of the Year honor. In 2006, the second straight Phipps-coached athlete won the WAC as freshman Rhea Richter took home the women’s cross country individual title. In 2007, Phipps led the women to their second cross country title in three years as four runners finished in the top 10. In 2008, he coached yet another WAC Champion, as Allix Lee-Painter won the women’s cross country title and the women finished second as a team. In 2010, Idaho claimed its third WAC title in five years, as the team put five runners in the top 15 to claim the crown. Making that title especially sweet was the fact that it was held in Moscow, and was Idaho’s first time hosting a WAC Championship event. He currently coaches Olympian and assistant coach Angela Whyte and has coached two-time Olympian and World Championship finalist Tawanda Chiwira, NCAA All-American and worldranked hurdler Arend Watkins, and Olympian Sherwin James. Phipps began his coaching career in his hometown of Prince George, British Columbia, with the Prince George Track and Field Club. During that time, he coached several provincial and national medalists and champions. As an athlete, Phipps was a three-year letterwinner in basketball and a four-year letterwinner in track and cross country at D.P. Todd Secondary. He also competed for the Prince George Track and Field Club, where he was coached by his father, Ron, and was a provincial champion and medalist in events ranging from the 100m to the 1500m and cross country. He also competed in both the cross country and track and field national championships in Canada. Phipps competed for the University of Montana and the University of British Columbia, where he graduated with a degree in exercise science in 1991. Phipps earned his master’s of science from the University of Oregon in exercise and movement science, with a sports medicine major and minors in biomechanics and exercise physiology.

Julie Taylor

Head Track & Field Coach

Idaho, ‘86 Throws Julie Taylor was promoted to Head Track & Field Coach at Idaho after serving 20 years as an assistant coach with the program. She has led the Idaho throws program to unprecedented levels of success in her two decades of coaching. When she graduated from Idaho in 1986, Taylor held both Idaho outdoor school records in the shot put and discus. Since that time, her athletes have broken and re-broken every Idaho throws record. Taylor saw her name officially bumped out of the Idaho record book in 2011, but she still holds an incredible distinction in Idaho’s history. She coached every single athlete who has made an entry in Idaho’s all-time top-10 in the women’s shot put, discus, hammer throw and javelin throw. Since Taylor became throws coach at Idaho, Vandal throws have qualified for the NCAA Championships 46 times and won two NCAA titles, 19 Western Athletic Conference titles, eight Big West Conference titles, nine Big Sky Conference titles and have claimed 27 All-America honors. At least one school record in the throws has fallen at Idaho every year since 2004. In the 2008 outdoor season, Idaho was the only men’s NCAA program to have four men hit the 200-foot mark in the hammer throw. On April 26, 2008, Taylor’s group of Marcus Mattox (208-2), James Rogan (203-2), Matt Wauters (203-1) and Russ Winger (202-3) all achieved the feat in one competition over the span of a couple hours. Taylor’s top men’s pupil is Winger, who goes down as one of the most versatile collegiate throwers ever. He is just the second man in NCAA history to hit 65 feet in both the shot put and weight throw in the same indoor season, and he achieved the feat in both 2007 and 2008. Dan Taylor of Ohio State is the only other man to hit that double. Additionally in 2008, Winger was the only man to qualify for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the shot put, discus throw and hammer throw (he scratched from the hammer to focus on his two primary events). Taylor also coached the first and only individual NCAA champion in Idaho athletics history in Katja Schreiber, who won the 2001 national title in the women’s discus with a school-record heave of 197-11. As a standout thrower for the Vandals from 1983-86, Taylor broke both the shot put and discus school records and earned three All-Big Sky Conference honors. She scored points at every Big Sky meet during her career and still ranks 31st in Idaho history in all-time outdoor conference scoring at 28 points. She is married to another all-time great Vandal thrower, Tim Taylor, who is a volunteer assistant throws coach at Idaho. They have one son, Alex, who is a thrower at Community Colleges of Spokane, and one daughter, Kelsey, who was an allWestern Athletic Conference performer for the Idaho volleyball team from 2007-10.

Multi-Events

Jason Graham was hired as assistant track and field coach in 2011 after 14 years as a volunteer assistant at Idaho. While as a volunteer coach, Graham worked primarily with the pole vaulters, as well as jumpers and multi-athletes. He helped build Idaho’s vaults program into one of the nation’s best over the last six seasons. Since 2005, Graham’s vaulters have claimed 17 individual Western Athletic Conference titles, including the last four consecutive indoor and outdoor men’s crowns. On the women’s side, he coached the first 12-foot, 13-foot and 14-foot vaulter in Vandal history, Melinda Owen. Undefeated headto-head versus WAC competition for her career, Owen claimed a record six WAC pole vault titles and walked away with the WAC’s all-time outdoor record in the vault at 14-5¼, which was also the best mark in the nation in 2008. After her graduation in 2008, Owen was invited to the USA Track & Field Olympic Training Center, where she is training for the 2010 London Olympic Games. Following Owen was K.C. Dahlgren, a 2009 indoor All-American, two-time NCAA qualifier and three-time WAC champion who left the school ranked second all-time in the vault. Graham’s men’s vaulters have also taken the program to new heights. Mike Carpenter became the first Vandal to crack the 17-foot barrier outdoors in 2008, then was followed by Jeremy Klas in 2010 and Lucas Pope in 2011. Pope and Klas became the first two Vandals to break 17 feet indoors in 2010, and Klas became Idaho’s first and only NCAA qualifier and All-American in the indoor pole vault the same year. Pope, who graduated in 2011 with five career WAC titles and Idaho’s outdoor school record (17-3) in his possession, was never beaten head-to-head by a non-Idaho WAC pole vaulter. Klas, who owns three career WAC golds and has qualified for three NCAA Championship meets, is Idaho’s indoor school record holder (17-9) and is the only man in Idaho history to qualify for back-to-back NCAA meets in the vault. Graham has been a Vandal since 1988 when he came to Idaho as a studentathlete. He competed in the hurdles and the decathlon for Idaho and earned three Big Sky All-Academic honors from 1988-92. Graham earned his B.S. in Secondary Mathematics and Physics Education from Idaho in 1994 and his M.S. in Secondary Science and Technology Education from Idaho in 1997. His wife’s name is Aimee.
