2012 WOMEN’S TENNIS

SCHOOL RECORD BRINGS WOMEN’S TRACK ITS FIRST-EVER TITLE

2012 WOMEN’S TENNIS

AT THE 117TH PENN RELAYS CARNIVAL Philadelphia – With a dramatic kick to the line, the Boston College 4x1500-meter relay contingent of Caitlin Bailey, Jillian King, Siobhan Breagy and Caroline King became the first-ever women’s track team from The Heights to win an event at the world renown Penn Relays, simultaneously setting a school record of 17:25.19 on Friday afternoon at the 117th annual carnival at Franklin Field. All-American Caroline King anchored the Eagles to the monumental feat in 4:12.20, running on the heels of Sheila Reid 2010 NCAA Cross Country champion and indoor 3,000 meter runner-up - over the final 600 meters, before over taking the Wildcat on the final turn and making up more than 20 meters over the final stretch to catch Georgetown’s Renee Tomlin in front of the tape. “Going into the race I felt really relaxed,” King stated. “I didn’t feel like we had any huge pressure on us. I could feel Sheila [Reid Villanova anchor] on my back and that really pushed me to go on. Sheila then went ahead with 600 to go and that really helped me because I would just focus on her back. That was just it. I kind of just went with 100 to go.” Richmond took control during the first leg, but Caitlin Bailey led off with a competitive 4:25.20 clip that put BC in fourth place at the first exchange. “This is my fifth year at Boston College and my third year at the Penn Relays,” Bailey began, “I came in knowing what to expect from being here before. This is the first time we’ve ever done a 4x1500 and I just had a lot of confidence for us, being a strong middistance school. That really made us feel that we were going to run well today.” Jillian King led the field’s surge in 4:18.80 as it chased down Richmond to draw even after the second leg and Siobhan Breagy kept BC in striking distance with a 4:29.00 clip on leg No. 3. The Hoyas anchor ran out front and headed into the final lap held about a 30 meter advantage. King and Reid kept pace into the final bend when the Eagle slung shot herself past her counterparts in signature fashion to capture the crown and break BC’s record by over 33 seconds. “Everyone ran absolutely perfectly,” head coach Randy Thomas said. “We are such a high right now. I’m extremely happy and proud this group of fine young women, not only for winning and being graceful and humble in victory, but to also have the experience of running in front of such a large and enthusiastic crowd here at the Penn Relays.” The Eagles will close out the Penn Relay with the 4x800 Championship of America, scheduled to go off on Saturday at 1:55 p.m.

TOP FIVE RESULTS 1. Boston College – 17:25.19 2. Georgetown – 17:25.65 3. Villanova – 17:28.12 4. Princeton – 17:50.45 5. Richmond – 17:58.28

R andy T homas Director Women’s Cross Country and Track and Field 19th Season

Overall, Thomas, who served exclusively as the schools cross country coach during the first seven years of his tenure, has produced a total of 50 All-America selections, three national junior champions and one Pan-American Games gold medalist. Before accepting his current position, Thomas was an assistant cross country and track and field coach at Massachusetts, his alma mater. The first-ever Division I All-American in UMass cross country and track and field history, Thomas was inducted into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 1982.

Randy Thomas is entering his 19th year as the program director of the women’s cross country and track and field teams at Boston College. He spent the previous 15 seasons as the director of both the men’s and women’s track and field programs.

Thomas, who received his master’s degree in business administration from Boston University, resides in Medway, Mass., with his wife, Marcy. Their son Ian was a member of the cross country and track & field program before graduating in 2011.

HEAD COACH

Thomas has been a part of the Boston College program for 23 years. His past and current successes speak for themselves as he has guided Eagle athletes to 44 All-American awards over the past 19 years. The most recent All-American award under Thomas came in 2010-11, when Caroline King finished in 30th place at cross country nationals and took seventh at the indoor mile championship.

THOMAS’ ACCOMPLISHMENTS Honored by the New England Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Association as the Division I women’s coach of the year.

The 2010-11 seasons saw the Eagles win the New England Cross Country Championship, earn two All-ACC honors behind their lowest-ever conference point total, collect three All-Northeast Region accolades and return to the NCAA Cross Country Championship as a team. On the track, Thomas’ contingent became the first women’s squad from BC to win an event at the Penn Relay Carnival - the College Women’s 4xMile Championship of America. King captured an indoor (mile) and outdoor (800m) conference championship en route to competing in two national meets. Standouts Caitlin Bailey and Jillian King won the half mile crowns at the ECAC and New England Championships, respectively, and also advanced to the NCAA East Regional meet.

Named 2001 Track and Field Association National Cross Country Coach of the Year. Coached 2001 Boston College graduate Shannon Smith, who became the first female athlete in school history to win a national championship, claiming the indoor 3,000-meter race at the 2001 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships. In addition to winning four Greater Boston Cross Country titles, the women’s cross country team has advanced to the NCAA Championship 13 times during his career (1991, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010).

The former world record holder has guided the women’s cross country squad to 13 NCAA Championship appearances in the past 20 seasons. Additionally, Thomas has trained athletes who qualify individually for the national event. In 2006, Mallory Champa earned All-America awards for her 38th -place finish at the NCAAs. Other notable athletes, including Laurel Burdick, Maria Cicero and Jennifer Kramer all gained All-America status after placing in the top-ranks at their respective NCAA Championships.

The men’s cross country squad captured the 1992 New England Cross Country Championship, as well as two Greater Boston titles. The 1996-97 men’s indoor track squad placed second out of 48 teams at the New England Championships. Three-time member (1977-79) of the United States’ National Cross Country team.

The 2001 women’s team defended their NCAA Region I team championship prior to finishing sixth in the national event. His team’s success on the cross-country trails led his peers at the United States Track and Field Association to honor him as the 2001 National Women’s Cross Country Coach of the Year. In 2000, his women’s cross-country team captured the Big East Championship and went on to finish fourth in the NCAA meet. This placing represented the highest finish at a national championship for a Boston College women’s team in any sport in school history.

Two-time member (1978-79) of the United States’ National Track and Field team. Previous world-record holder in the 10-mile, 20-kilometer and 30-kilometer events. Previous American-record holder in the 15-kilometer, 10-mile, 20-kilometer, half marathon and 25-kilometer races.

Thomas also helped bring the first national championship for women’s athletics to the Heights, coaching Shannon Smith to the 2001 NCAA Championship in the 3,000-meter run.

Registered fifth-place finishes in the 1977 New York City and 1978 Boston Marathons. Earned a fifth-place showing at the 1978 Marathon World Championship in Fukuoka, Japan.

Thomas has mentored student-athletes to 20 All-American nods in track and field since 1994. In 2008, Tiana Riel earned the honor for her 11th-place finish in the pentathlon at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Her 4,017 points was a personal best and second on BC’s top performance list.

2011-12 WOmen’s Cross Country / Track & Field championship and qualify for nationals in the outdoor 800-meter event in 2005 - and Kathleen Smyth - who captured the 1,000-meter crown at the 2005 ECAC meet.

E rin O’R eilly

In 1994, O’Reilly began her collegiate coaching career as the graduate assistant for her alma mater, West Virginia University, before being promoted to assistant coach. From then until the time she left in 2002, the Mountaineers earned 22 All-American accolades, won 19 ECAC individual and relay championships and 13 All-Mid Atlantic Region honors on the track and on the course.

Assistant Coach Ninth Season

In 1996, O’Reilly became the long sprints and middle distance head coach for the AAU Youth Track Program’s West Virginia Flyers. There she trained two All-Americans for the 2000 USATF National Championships. A year later, O’Reilly was named the co-director of West Virginia University’s Cross Country Camp of Champions.

Erin O’Reilly is in the midst of her ninth season as the assistant coach for the Boston College women’s cross country and track and field programs. In her time at the Heights, O’Reilly has coached a slew of Eagles to three Atlantic Coast Conference individual championships, a pair of Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) titles and numerous NCAA appearances.

From 1993 to 1998, O’Reilly also held the position of postcollegiate Olympic Trials Coach. As such, she was responsible for the training regimen and evaluation of Trials athletes. In addition to daily coaching, she was charged with the tasks of finance management for the program and recruiting. Throughout that time period, O’Reilly was also a member of the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Rankings Committee. O’Reilly earned a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education from West Virginia in 1993 and returned to complete a Master of Science in Athletic Coaching in 2001. A former student-athlete, O’Reilly built an impressive resume in her time as a Mountaineer. After working her way to be named captain of the cross country and track and field programs in her final season, she went on to become the Atlantic 10 champion in the mile and 3,000-meter competitions - simultaneously establishing conference records in each event. As early as her sophomore year, O’Reilly was an NCAA Provisional Qualifier in the 3,000-meter and had won the 1,000-meter title at the ECAC meet. By the end of her collegiate career, she held seven school records in cross country and track.

The 2009 season saw another of O’Reilly’s protégés, Anna Cioffredi, become the first freshman from Boston College to place the finals of the 400-meter at the ACC Championship. In the final, Cioffredi clocked a 54.82 - the fastest time of any Eagle in 15 years and fourth best in school history. During O’Reilly’s tenure, other standouts have included Melissa Sherman - who became the first Eagle to win the BIG EAST

A S S I S TA N T C O A C H

Under O’Reilly’s tutelage, Boston College phenomenon Caitlin Bailey competed in NCAA finals of the 800-meter. The back-toback outdoor 800m ACC champion qualified for the national meet eight times throughout her career as an Eagle; doing so as an NCAA Regional runner-up in 2010. At the regional meet, Bailey established the BC record at said distance with a time of 2:03.45. O’Reilly also guided Bailey to the indoor 800m record (2:04.66) in 2009, the third fastest 1500-meter time in school history (4:21.53) in 2010 and a 2011 Outdoor ECAC Championship. Additionally, O’Reilly was instrumental in helping the 2010 distance medley relay team to an 11th place finish in the country.

2011 CROSS COUNTRY REVIEW

The Eagles opened the year at a weather torn Hanover Country Club, taking second on a shortened course, before traveling to Amherst, Mass. for the UMass Invitational. Jillian King opened her senior campaign by claiming the individual title, besting a field of 75 in 17:21.41 and leading BC to a team victory as five teammates delivered personal records. The first test for the Maroon and Gold came at the Paul Short Run, hosted by Lehigh University. In the presence of five other nationally ranked teams, junior Bridget Dahlberg emerged as the Eagles’ front runner and guided the squad to a ninth place showing in personal record fashion. Boston College then returned to Franklin Park to defend its New England Championship title. Dahlberg tied with graduate student Hope Krause for third place in 17:46, leading BC to its third team title in four years. The contest also saw freshman Liv Westphal come in one stride behind her teammates in 17:48 for fifth out of 269 competitors in her first collegiate race. Dahlberg and Krause were honored as ACC Performers of the Week for their efforts. Dahlberg paced the Eagles a week later at the ADIDAS Wisconsin Invitational.

When Gail Harris ran a 2:05.04 in the 800-meters at the 1990 NCAA Indoor Championship, she simultaneously became the first Boston College Women’s Track & Field All-American and set a school record that would go untouched for 19 years. Harris’ was so quick that up until the mark it was broken in 2009, the next quickest time was more than three seconds slower and, as of 2010, her times in the 500-meter time (1:11.50) and outdoor 800-meter (2:04.09), also set that in 1990, remain as the standard for Eagles Track & Field.

Andrea Melton gained her only All-American accolade at the 1995 NCAA Outdoor Championship, where she established a school record of 13.61 in the 100m Hurdles. A noted hurdler, sprinter and jumper, Melton used her athleticism to break Boston College marks for the indoor 55-meter hurdles (7.95), long jump (6.60m) and distance medley relay (11:11.55), as well as the outdoor 100-meter hurdles (13.61), long jump (5.96m) and shuttle hurdle relay (60.07). As an Eagle, she won five New England individual titles in the outdoor 100-meter hurdles and the indoor 55-meter hurdles. Melton was named the 1996 Nathaniel J. Hasenfus “Eagle of the Year”.
