Since being introduced as Radford University’s Director of Athletics in the fall of 2007, Radford native Robert Lineburg has helped usher in a new era of Highlander athletics, marked by unprecedented on-and off-field improvements and successes. In his short time with the department, Lineburg has been the catalyst for a number of changes, particularly in areas such as facilities, personnel and strategic planning. His most visible influence to date has been on the Dedmon ROBERT LINEBURG Center, where Lineburg has been DIRECTOR OF involved with major renovations ATHLETICS to the centerpiece of Radford athletics for more than 25 years. Beginning in the spring of 2008, the facility underwent transformations to the arena, including a new steel-supported roof, a new basketball floor, renovated athletic offices, a new-look natatorium, and improved athletic locker, training, and medical facilities. Lineburg has also overseen the hires of four new head coaches, as well as five new athletic administrators. His hires include women’s basketball head coach Taj Njongba, head volleyball coach Marci Jenkins, women’s head golf coach Jeff Beeler, and the promotion of track and field interim director Brent Chumbley to head coaches’ status. Among the administrators added in Lineburg’s tenure are executive associate A.D. Randy Butt, head athletic trainer David Jager, assistant A.D. for communications Joey Beeler, director of studentathlete support services/SWA Stephanie Ballein, and associate A.D. for external operations Greg Herring. As a result of the changes, Radford achieved a banner year in 2008-09: women’s soccer, men’s basketball, men’s tennis and softball claimed Big South conference crowns and advanced to NCAA Tournament play. Women’s soccer advanced to its fourth tournament, men’s basketball won the Big South regular-season and tournament to advance to the NCAAs for the first time since 1998, men’s tennis made its third-straight appearance, and softball appeared for the first time and won Radford’s first NCAA tournament game in any sport. He and his staff have also been responsible for creating a five-year strategic plan for the Radford athletic department and building an athletics facilities

master plan. Additional achievements include ushering in a new athletics Internet site (RadfordAthletics. com), and helping implement a new ticket system (Ticket Return). Lineburg and his staff have also hosted toplevel competition, with three Big South championships taking place on the Radford campus in 2008-09 (men’s basketball, track & field and softball). In addition to making an impact on Radford athletics, Lineburg is also involved in a number of different organizations and committees. He is the chairman of the Big South Conference Subcommittee on Basketball Improvement, a member of the Big South ad-hoc Committee on Basketball Issues, and a member of the selection committee to select Radford University’s Vice President for Advancement. Prior to becoming Radford’s third Director of Athletics, Lineburg’s corporate knowledge was groomed as a marketing associate with Peloton Real Estate Partners in Dallas, Texas. Along with his business experience, Lineburg spent 15 seasons as a college basketball coach, including time as Southern Methodist’s (Dallas, Texas) interim head coach. Prior to serving as the Mustangs interim head coach, Lineburg spent eight years as an assistant coach at SMU. Following his interim tenure, he served two more seasons as an assistant at Southern Methodist. Lineburg’s coaching resume also includes assistant coaching positions with the men’s basketball programs at James Madison University and Emory & Henry College, as well as with the Dallas Mavericks summer league team. His coaching experience also took him through the Big South, as he spent time on the sideline at UNC Greensboro. A 1991 graduate of Roanoke College, Lineburg started his collegiate basketball career as a Radford Highlander, where he was a two-year letterman before transferring to nearby Roanoke College to play his final two years. He earned his Bachelor’s Degree in political science with a minor in history. In 1995, he received a Master’s Degree in education from Virginia Tech, where he was also a graduate assistant on the men’s basketball staff. Lineburg is the son of retired Radford High School football coach and athletic director Norman Lineburg and the brother of Dr. Mark Lineburg, the Assistant Superintendent of Amherst Country Schools, Paul Lineburg, the Assistant Principal at Cave Spring H.S. and Wayne Lineburg, who is in his third season as the wide receivers coach at the University of Virginia. He is married to the former Mary Parish, also a native of Radford.

The first major addition after the main portion of the Dedmon Center was complete, the Natatorium is home to the Radford Swimming and Diving team. Completed in 1987, six years after the main building was finished, the facility features an eight-lane olympic-size pool with a diving well. Built with a fabric roof to match the architecture of the main arena, the Natatorium roof differs in that it is truss supported, not air supported. There is also ample seating for spectators. Athletic Department and Dedmon Center Staff offices overlook the pool. The facility hosts several meets throughout the year, including all of Radford’s home meets, as well as high school and club meets. A state-of-theart, eight-lane scoreboard was added in the spring of 2006.

TRAINER Additionally, the sports medicine staff is responsible for the treatment and rehabilitation of all athletically related injuries. It is the staff’s goal to return the athlete to a level equal or above that of their pre-injury status; no athlete will return to play until his or her highest post-injury level of function has been achieved. Lastly, the concern from the physical well being of the student-athlete includes the opposition to the use of all illegal and NCAA-banned chemical substances by student-athletes. It is the responsibility of the sports medicine staff to provide athletes with information on the ill effects of drug use and to provide deterrents through periodic, random drug testing by the institution and the NCAA.

SWIMMING AND DIVING: HOME POOL ADVANTAGE When the Radford swimming & diving team emerges from their Dedmon Center locker room to the upstairs natatorium, the Highlanders put on a mini-production. Moments before they emerge, the cheers and screams from the bottom of the stairwell grow louder and louder. Then, as the Highlanders come running out, class-by-class, they form a high-five line that eventually reaches from one end of the pool, to the other, and ends in a huddled mass of shouting and dancing black warm-up suits. It’s a short surge of electricity from the 21 members of the team, and because they’re at home, the Highlanders get to be as loud and excited as they want. The pre-meet ritual is one of the advantages of competing at home, something that the Highlanders didn’t get to do last year, with renovations to the Dedmon Center ongoing during the season. “We want it to be a big intro, get the girls fired up, and get the momentum rolling in our direction right away,” head coach Randy Jarman says. Radford gets to put on this show, one that Jarman says is a hybrid of several NBA entrances, six times at home this season. It’s one of the things the Highlanders get to do to set the tempo and get comfortable before they hit the pool. “Being at home, the familiarity of the surroundings, the support, those are things that put our team at ease,” Jarman says. At the same time, Jarman wants to test his young group at home this year. Following the home opener against the College of Charleston, the Highlanders hit the Dedmon Center pool early this year against JMU (Oct. 31, Noon) and a dual with Marshall and Campbell (Nov. 14, 2 p.m.). Radford also hosts North Carolina A&T to close out the season on Jan. 21. “We do have a tough schedule,” he says. “When you bring fast teams in like these, you’d better be ready to swim.” Charleston, Campbell, and North Carolina A&T are all conference foes for the Highlanders in the Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association (CCSA). One event circled on Jarman’s calendar this year is the Highlander Invitational, a three-day meet (Nov. 19-21) featuring Radford, Campbell, North Carolina A&T, Millersville (Pa.) and Mount St. Mary’s. “It’s definitely the highlight of our home schedule, and it should be a pretty competitive invitational from top to bottom. All of the teams are comparable in terms of talent and depth, and it should prove to be an exciting invitational.” And Radford’s early-season matchup with the College of Charleston gives Jarman some perspective on where the Highlanders are, moving forward. “We need to work on not swimming nervous, but instead swimming excited. In practice, we’ve got some standout performances, and we’ve got to be able to duplicate these
12
performances in practice. “The excitement is supposed to elevate you. If we can capitalize on that, we’ll turn a corner.” Performances like this will come in time, Jarman says, and that setting the emotional tone will be senior captains Mandy Smith (Free, Back) and Erica Kappert (Fly, Back). “Both of these young ladies bring distinct characteristics to the table and we’re excited about the way they lead by example, and take care of business in the pool.” The different ways that Smith and Kappert lead is what Jarman likes the most. “Mandy is the ‘mother hen’ that keeps these girls rallied together and makes sure that everyone feels like a part of the team. And Erica is a real workhorse and a walking study in time-management.” In addition to the leadership of Smith and Kappert, Jarman’s Highlanders are relying on a couple of new faces, freshmen Emily Turner (Free, Back) and Colleen Miller (Back, Free), to set the tone for this season and beyond. “When you lean heavily on freshmen, it’s a concern sometimes,” Jarman says, “but these two have really stepped up to the pressure and thrive on it.” Jarman likes Turner’s versatility and work ethic, two keys that he’s trying to build his program around. “There’s no weaknesses in what she does, and we’re going to utilize her more in individual swims.” Miller brings athleticism and desire to this year’s group, in addition to her skills. “She too has a lot of versatility, and brings a lot of things to the table for us,” Jarman says. One contributor that wants to make a splash again is sophomore diver Katie Shaffer, who
virtually re-wrote the school’s record books on a weekly basis in the one-and three-meter events as a freshman. “Her performance last year is a testament not only to Katie’s work ethic,” Jarman says, “but to her desire to leave a legacy here at Radford.” To help Jarman push Shaffer and others to the next level, he bolstered his coaching staff in the off-season by adding two assistant coaches: Kevin Schwenk (diving) and Krista Carlson (swimming). “Having a staff is making a huge difference this year,” Jarman says. Under Schwenk, a Radford graduate student with an extensive gymnastics background, Shaffer broke her one-meter mark by 11 points (202.64) in the season opener against Charleston. “Kevin’s enthusiasm is contagious,” Jarman says. “He’s winning the trust of his divers and pushing them, and you can see Katie’s responding well to that.” Carlson, in her first year following a standout collegiate career at St. Bonaventure, has been a boost both in and out of the pool for Jarman. “She came in and fit our system like a glove,” he says. “Her energy, her knowledge of how fast other teams are, and her abilities to put together workouts are great for us.” The combination of versatility and basics, new and old, experienced and inexperienced, and performance and coaching is a formula that Jarman wants to continue to build his program around. “You’re always competing against your best,” he says. “We’ve gotta stay focused on the basics and if we focus on improving every single meet, I think we can represent the university with pride.”

Krista Carlson is in her first season with the Radford University swimming and diving program. A four-year letterwinner at St. Bonaventure, Carlson competed in the intermediate freestyle and breaststroke events. As a senior she placed 33rd in the Atlantic 10 Championships in both the 100 and 200-yard breast stroke along with swimming a 2:18.25 in the 200-yard individual medley. Carlson landed a 12th place finish at the Western New York Invitational in the 100-yard breaststroke. She earned two silver medals, one against Canisius and the other against Binghamton. The Rome, N.Y. native showed her versatility in her junior season as she helped her team take second place in the 400-yard medley relay against Canisius. Carlson followed that up with a third place finish in the 400-yard freestyle relay against St. Francis. She then aided her team in securing third place over Cleveland State in another 400-yard medley relay.
