JACK SPATES

The program has been reenergized with a new staff, highlighted by head assistant coach Sammie Henson. A World champion and Olympic silver medalist, Sammie’s technical skills and intensity have Olympic hopefuls from all over the country seeking his expertise. Michael Lightner also brings a wealth of experience and success as a four-time All-American, NCAA Champion and 2006 World Team member. Former Penn State AllAmerican Ross Thatcher completes the staff, who in just a few years has coached five NCAA Champions and helped lead others to international acclaim.

The team will do so in the nation’s finest training facility and alongside coaches and fans who are willing and eager to restore the Sooner wrestling program to greatness. They will do so with passion, integrity, hard and smart work along with a commitment to doing whatever it takes.

The Staff

Getting on top of the podium this March will take talent. The Sooner staff met this need by bringing in the nation’s No. 2-ranked recruiting class. A total of 14 wrestlers, five of whom were ranked in the top five nationally in their respective weight classes, earned 30 state titles and are committed to championship results at Oklahoma.

PRE VI E W

Throughout its long and storied tradition, Sooner wrestling has been synonymous with NCAA greatness. Witness the success from 2001-2006 when the Sooners garnered six top four NCAA finishes in seven years. During that span, no wrestling team in America brought home more NCAA trophies.

Leading Oklahoma is head coach Jack Spates, who is third among active head coaches for most All- Americans produced in his coaching tenure (54).

HOWARD MCCASLAND FIELD HOUSE

First class is a way of life when it comes to facilities at the University of Oklahoma, and the recent renovations to the Howard McCasland Field House, home of Sooner wrestling, is a prime example. The University of Oklahoma wrestling squad boasts one of the premier workout facilities in the nation, thanks to a $1.3 million expansion project spurred on by a $1 million donation from former Sooner wrestler Rodney Thornton. The 9,600-square-foot addition to the Port Robertson Wrestling Center was built onto the north side of the existing facility and showcases a workout room with four practice mats. Also included is a separate club team practice area and team training facililty. A team room is equipped with leather couches for lounging and a big screen television. A coaches’ locker room, an open area for weight training and an equipment room complete the addition. “The university is grateful to Rodney Thornton for his generous gift and to others who joined with him to make this improvement possible,” said OU President David L. Boren. The first-class facilities will assist future Sooner wrestlers in their quest to add to the the rich tradition of the Oklahoma program.

TRAINING THE ELITE

TIM OVERMAN

Sooner Strength The University of Oklahoma boasts first-class facilites, equipment and personnel when it comes to strength and conditioning. Although wins occur on the mat in front of thousands of fans throughout the season, commitment to achieve those victories begin in the weight room during the offseason. The goal the team strives for to be, “bigger, faster, stronger,” than opponents is achieved with the assistance of Tim Overman, head strength and conditioning coach for the wrestling program. Overman’s focus is to put the team in the best possible position to succeed on the mat. The team takes full advantage of the state-of-the-art facilities OU offers for its studentathletes. Conveniently, the newly rennovated wrestling facility provides a personal gym for wrestlers to train.

2009-2010 Media Guide

Match day in Norman is a unique experience for wrestlers and fans alike. Not only does Oklahoma tout one of the most impressive traditions in collegiate wrestling history, but also is home to a rabid and dedicated fan base that fills the Howard McCasland Field House each winter.

PRE VI E W

One of the nation’s leaders in attendance dating back to the 1920s, the Sooner squad enjoys a distinct home-mat advantage. Entering his 17th season as head coach, Jack Spates’ home record stands at 84-26-2 (.759).

RULES AND DEFINITIONS | 256 All-Americans | 65 Individual national Champions | 23 Conference Titles |

WRESTLING POSITIONS •Starting Positions- There are four starting positions in wrestling. Here are the four and their definitions: 1. Neutral Position- The match will start with both contestants standing opposite each other with their lead foot on the green or red area of the starting lines and their other foot even with or behind the lead foot. This is the neutral position in which neither wrestler has control. 2. Defensive Wrestler- The defensive wrestler takes a stationary position at the center of the mat with both hands and knees on the mat, as directed by the referee. 3. Offensive Wrestler- The offensive wrestler shall be on the right or left side of the opponent with at least one knee on the mat and head on or above the midline of the opponent’s back. 4. Optional Offensive Starting Position-The offensive wrestler may choose to take a position on either side or to the rear of the defensive wrestler with both hands on the opponent’s back, thumbs touching. The wrestler must indicate his intent to the referee. •Stalemates When the contestants are interlocked in a position other than a pinning situation in which neither wrestler can improve position, the referee shall stop the match as soon as possible and wrestling will be resumed. •Position of Advantage This is a situation in which a contestant is in control and maintaining restraining power over the opponent. Control is the determining factor. The offensive wrestler is entitled to this advantage until the opponent gains a neutral position or a reversal. •In Bounds Contestants are considered to be in bounds if the supporting parts of either wrestler are inside the inside edge of the boundary lines. These supporting parts, such as the knees, the side of the thigh, the buttocks and the hands, bear the wrestler’s weight. Wrestling will continue as long as the supporting parts of either wrestler remain in bounds. •Resumption of Wrestling After Out of Bounds The contestants at the resumption of a match shall be in the neutral or the starting position on the mat as determined by the position held upon going out of bounds.

SCORING OPPORTUNITIES •Takedown A takedown shall be awarded when, from the neutral position, a contestant gains control and places the opponent’s supporting points down on the mat beyond reaction time. •Escape A defensive wrestler is awarded an escape when the offensive wrestler loses control of the opponent while the supporting points of either wrestler are in bounds. •Reversal A reversal occurs when the defensive wrestler comes from underneath and gains control of the opponent, either on the mat or in a rear-standing position. •Near fall A near fall is a position in which the offensive wrestler has the opponent in a controlled pinning situation. When the following criteria are met for two seconds,

2009-2010 Media Guide

two points are awarded. When met for five uninterrupted seconds, three points are awarded. The criteria are as follows: 1) the wrestler is held in a high bridge or on both elbows, 2) one shoulder or the head is touching the mat and the other shoulder is held at an angle of 45 degrees or less to the mat, or 3) any part of both shoulders or both scapulae are held within four inches of the mat. •Time Advantage The offensive wrestler who has control in an advantage position is gaining time advantage. If the contestant with the greater time advantage has less than one minute of net time advantage, no point is awarded. If a contestant has one minute or more of net time advantage, that wrestler is awarded one point.

END OF MATCH •Fall Any part of both shoulders or part of both scapulae of either wrestler held in contact with the mat for one second constitutes a fall. The one-second count (one-thousand-one) shall be a silent count by the referee and shall start only after the referee is in position to observe that a fall is imminent. •Technical Fall A technical fall occurs when a wrestler has earned a 15-point advantage and a near fall over the opponent. •Major Decision A major decision occurs when the margin of victory after three periods is eight through 14 points. •Decision A decision occurs when the margin of victory is fewer than eight points. A decision also is credited to the wrestler who is awarded the first point in an overtime match that does not end with a fall, default or disqualification. •Default A default is awarded in a match when one of the wrestlers is unable to continue wrestling for any reason. A default should be included as a win or loss in each wrestler’s season record. •Disqualification A disqualification is a situation in which a contestant is banned from participation in accordance with a pre-determined penalty table. A disqualification shall be included as a win or loss in each wrestler’s season record. •Forfeit A forfeit is received by a wrestler when the opponent, for any reason, fails to appear for the match. In order to receive a forfeit or medical forfeit, the nonforfeiting wrestler must be dressed in a wrestling uniform and appear on the mat. A forfeit or medical forfeit shall be included as a win in the victor’s season record. In the event of injury of illness, a contestant may declare a medical forfeit, which counts as a win but not as a loss on the record.

SEASON PREVIEW

The Staff

Head coach Jack Spates has reenergized the program with three new assistants, headlined by head assistant coach Sammie Henson. The 1998 world champion, 2000 Olympic silver medalist and 2006 World bronze winner is focused on helping direct the Sooners back on top of the podium for the eighth time in program history.

The experience returning is mixed with a stellar 2009 recruiting class that ranked unanimously in the top three in the country. Fourteen freshmen look to challenge for starting spots and provide quality depth in each weight class.

One of the most decorated staffs in the country is optimistic about a successful 2009-10 season, as eight Sooner starters return from last season’s squad that collected 16 dual wins, the most since the 2002 season. Headlining the returning group is 2009 Big 12 Champion Kyle Terry at 149 pounds. The senior from Midwest City reeled off 28 straight victories last season to tally a 30-3 overall

Utilizing one of the premier wrestling facilities in the country that was unveiled last season, the Sooner squad has turned in what Coach Spates calls “maybe the most impressive and challenging offseasons” in his 17 years at Oklahoma, doing Whatever it Takes to stand atop the podium in Omaha, Neb., next March.

The University

Also on staff is former OU national champion and four-time All-American Michael Lightner and 2000 Penn State All-American Ross Thatcher. Lightner was promoted to assistant coach this past offseason after serving as the volunteer assistant last season for Oklahoma, the title Thatcher now holds.

The Oklahoma coaching staff has assembled a schedule this season to ensure the team is well-equipped for March. New additions this season are the Las Vegas Tournament and the Virginia Duals, mixed in with the always daunting Big 12 slate. Arguably the toughest conference in the country, the Big 12 placed three teams in the top seven at the 2009 NCAAs and crowned three national champions and again looks to be a force in 2010.

record. Other returners include Zack Bailey (141), Seth Vernon (141), Chad Terry (157), Shane Vernon (157), Jeff James (174), Eric Lapotsky (197) and Nathan Fernandez (HWT).

2008-09 REVIEW

Whatever It Takes is the theme the 2009-10 wrestling squad will take to heart as it strives to return to the national prominence to which the program is accustomed to experiencing.

SPATES’ WEIGHT-BY-WEIGHT BREAKDOWN

125 Pounds

149 Pounds

THE FAVORITE: JUSTIN FORREST THE CONTENDERS: GREG CANNON AND JARROD PATTERSON

THE FAVORITE: KYLE TERRY THE CONTENDERS: MATT LESTER, SETH VERNON AND DYLAN JOINER

“The Sooners come out of the gate with very little experience but high hopes. Redshirt freshman Justin Forrest accounts for a good deal of optimism after adding a FILA National Championship last year to the Junior National Title he earned as a Missouri prepster. Justin is a tenacious competitor who is at his best under the lights.

“A year ago, Kyle Terry won the Big 12 Championship and battled to the AllAmerican round, falling just short of national honors. This year, the lightning quick “rattlesnake,” known for his deadly shots, is determined not to be denied.

“Former three-time Oklahoma state champion Greg Cannon has returned to the team with renewed determination, while four-time Oklahoma titlist Jared Patterson will challenge both for the starting berth. Patterson has adapted quickly to the college style. All in all, this is a young but talented weight for the Sooners.”

133 Pounds

“A battle will come from high school and junior national champion Matt Lester. The talented matman and a two-time Missouri titlist is extremely tough on top and is improving daily. Seth Vernon, three-time Oklahoma high school champion, is also impressive. Seth manned the starting slot at 141 pounds last season. Also vying for the spot is former Missouri state champion, Dylan Joiner. This may be the Sooner’s strongest weight and one in which an AllAmerican is sure to emerge.”

157 Pounds

THE FAVORITES: NICK LESTER AND ALEX EKSTROM THE CONTENDERS: NICK BURNHAM

THE FAVORITES: CHAD TERRY AND SHANE VERNON THE CONTENDER: BOBBY WILLIAMS, KYLE DETMER AND CLAY REEB

“For the second straight weight, a youngster will man the starting spot for the Sooners. But once again, it will be a talented youngster. The question is which one?

“A battle royale is brewing for the second straight year between two Oklahoma natives, Chad Terry and Shane Vernon. After battling back and forth last season, the talented Terry emerged on top and went on to win two matches at the NCAA Championships. Both wrestlers are capable of All-America honors and are committed to that goal.

“High school national champion and four-time New York State champion Alex Ekstrom will do battle with national runner-up and two-time Missouri king pin Nick Lester. Both are extremely talented and determined. Ekstrom is the takedown artist while Lester rules on the mat. Lester’s size might be a factor and he could wind up competing for the 141-pound slot. “Not to be counted out is freshman Nick Burnham, whose work ethic and determination led him to three Washington championships. This is a weight which will be far stronger as the season progresses.”

141 Pounds THE FAVORITE: ZACK BAILEY THE CONTENDER: KENDRIC MAPLE, DILLON DENNIS AND RICHARD IMMEL “The return of the ultra-talented Zack Bailey breeds optimism among the Sooner staff. Only health stands between Bailey and greatness. Challenging him for the spot will be host of youngsters, including Kansas two-time champion and high school All American Kendrick Maple. Maple is slick on his feet with a work ethic to match. “Redshirt frosh Richard Immel shares that work ethic and will do battle alongside Florida champion Dillon Dennis. With Bailey under the lights, the Sooners are tough as nails. Without him, they may need a season’s seasoning.”

2009-2010 Media Guide

“A bevy of youngsters wait in the wings, while Bobby Williams, who captured three state championships at neighboring Tuttle, uses a redshirt. Kyle Detmer grabbed two crowns in Kansas along with national runner-up honors. Clay Reeb finished fourth in New York but is extremely powerful and devoted. All in all, this looks to be a strong weight for the Crimson and Cream.”

165 Pounds THE FAVORITE: DEREK PEPERAS THE CONTENDERS: MARCUS ARMATO AND ROBERT COPELAND “On paper, this weight stands as a question mark. The answer may well be Old Dominion transfer Derek Peperas. A three-time New Mexico state champion, Peperas transferred in with much to learn. His tremendous passion to work and succeed have led to marked improvement. Pushing him will be former Missouri champion Marcus Armato who has made big strides himself as a freshman but who is coming off shoulder surgery. Robert Copeland, a fourth place finisher, will look at back up as a redshirt.”

174 Pounds

THE FAVORITE: JEFF JAMES THE CONTENDERS: TYLER CALDWELL, BEN BRIDELL AND NOLAN MYBRYDE “Jeff James returns for his junior campaign with lofty aspirations. His goal of All-America honors is well within his reach. A powerful and explosive grappler, Jeff has made strides in his precision which should pay big dividends. A budding star who will provide competition is Tyler Caldwell. Caldwell is a talented and

The dual versus Chattanooga will mark the third annual Beauty and the Beast event, where Sooner wrestlers will compete alongside the women’s gymnastics team at the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman. Spates’ squad will challenge for its 11th straight Brockport/Oklahoma Gold Classic title on Nov. 14 in Brockport, N.Y. Also on this season’s slate is the Cliff Keen Invitational in Primm, Nev., held Dec. 4-5 and the Virginia Duals held Jan. 8-9 in Hampton, Va. Other road contests include Big 12 matchups at Nebraska (Feb. 4) and Missouri (Feb. 6).

“Challenging Eric will be the talented Keldrick Hall. A former Texas state champion, Keldrick has made big strides placing in both the FILA and University National Championships. This is a weight where the Sooners hope to land an All-American.”

OU Tr adi tion

“A 24-match winner last season, the determined Lapotsky is bent on finishing his career as an All-American. After placing fifth in the tough Pennsylvania states and not wrestling as a freshman, he has worked hard to put himself in contention.

The Sooners will kick off the season by holding the annual Red/White intrasquad scrimmage on Nov. 5 at the McCasland Field House in Norman before official competition begins Nov. 11 on the road at Central Oklahoma.

2008-09 REVIEW

“Youth is once again the story here as redshirt freshman Erich Schmidtke looks to claim the starting spot. The talented Schmidtke made big strides last year and placed in the University National Championships. The former three-time Washington champ is powerful and determined. True frosh and former California state champion Ian Daube will challenge. Daube has impressed coaches as his competitive spirit is accompanied by a great feel for the sport.”

of the top heavyweights in the country. After working hard this summer, he looks to be on the podium at Omaha. Nathan is a crafty competitor with crafty looks and skills. His biggest challenge may be in the room against Kansas strongman Joe Bach. A powerful grappler who won three tournaments as a frosh and earned several National All-America honors, Bach has his sights set on the starting slot. Also battling will be another redshirt frosh Adam Barnette. Adam’s a West Virginia placer who has made big strides in just a year.

THE HEAD COACH

JACK SPATES HEAD COACH | 17TH SEASON 214-92-11 RECORD AT OKLAHOMA (.692)

Jack Spates enters his 17th season as the leader of one of the elite wrestling powerhouses in the nation.

His success has not gone unnoticed as Spates has been recognized with numerous coaching honors, including three Big 12 Coach of the Year awards and the 2006 National Coach of the Year. Spates has coached two Big 12 conference champion teams, 54 All-Americans and six national champions at OU. He has also led 27 Oklahoma wrestlers to individual Big 12 titles, including Joey Fio and Kyle Terry last season. It marked the eighth time in the past nine seasons Spates has led at least two wrestlers to Big 12 titles. Most impressively, Spates and the Sooners have accepted six team trophies at the NCAA Championship in the past 10 seasons and the Smithtown, N.Y., native is third among active head coaches for most All-Americans produced during his tenure (54). During the 2008 season, Spates collected his 200th victory at Oklahoma with a win over the Oklahoma City Stars on Nov. 20, making him just the second head coach in Oklahoma history to reach the milestone. His 214-92-11 (.692) overall record,

2009-2010 Media Guide

heading into the 2009-10 season places his third all-time in school history in winning percentage. When Spates became the University of Oklahoma’s 12th head wrestling coach in 1993, he inherited a proud, but struggling program. OU’s average finish at the NCAA Championships was 23rd in the three years prior to Spates’ arrival. Recently, his Sooner teams have placed in the nation’s top four in six of the past 10 seasons, including third-place finishes in 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2006. The 2004 season was especially impressive as the Sooners lost eight starters and wrestled six freshmen, yet still finished ninth at the NCAA Championships. During the 200405 season, the Sooners named four All-Americans and crowned 141-pound national champion Teyon Ware while finishing third as a team at the NCAA Championships. Spates’ teams have also won the Big 12 Championship twice during his tenure. The 1999 title was the Sooners’ first in more than a decade (1985) and they also were crowned champions in 2002. Both times, Spates was honored as Big 12 Coach of the Year.

Spates has continued to bring the nation’s top talent to Oklahoma. The Sooners’ recruiting classes perennially rank in the top 10 nationally. The 2009 class was ranked as the second best nationally by InterMat.

2nd 3rd 3rd

His total of 54 All-Americans coached during his career ranks third among NCAA active head coaches.

Spates is third all-time in career winning percentage at OU. He owns an overall record of 214-92-11 (.692).

Fifty-four All-Americans during his career is 17th all-time in the history of the sport among NCAA head coaches.

Spates ranks second in all-time victories by a head coach in Oklahoma wrestling history (214).

“It is with great joy that we welcome Michael to our staff,” head coach Jack Spates said. “He will make a tremendous addition to our staff. His passion for our great sport, our student-athletes and this university is going to have a great impact on our program. ” Lightner served as volunteer assistant last season with the Sooners and club coach in 2007. His new duties include recruiting for the program, directing the Oklahoma Open and summer camps, as well as training and instructing current Sooner wrestlers. A product of Marlow, Lightner recorded one of the most impressive wrestling careers in Oklahoma history from 1998-2001. He claimed the national title in 2001 and was four times crowned Big 12 champion at 141 pounds.

Lightner became a four-time All-American, an honor only nine others in school history have claimed. He can be found in various school records, including second in career wins with a 144-16 record. His 37-0 record his senior season led him to the national title and he became the 13th Sooner to go undefeated in a season. “I loved my time here at OU and am excited to have a bigger role in the program,” Lightner said. “I am excited to step in and help bring the program back to national prominence. This staff’s goal is to lead OU to its first national title since 1974.” Wrestling at Marlow High School, Lightner recorded a 130-1 overall record, capturing the state title all four years. The four-year letterman also claimed second at Junior Nationals. After his career with the Sooners, Lightner remained at OU as a club coach from 2001-2004 while training for international competition. During that three year stint, Oklahoma won the Big 12 title in 2002, claimed seven individual conference champions, 17 All-Americans and three national champions. In 2005 Lightner moved to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., to focus on his international wrestling career. In 2005 he was crowned champion at U.S. Nationals and the World Team Trials and was named as a World Team member. The following year he was runner-up at U.S. Nationals and placed second at the U.S. World Team Trials. He and his wife, Lindsey, have been married two years.

With a bachelor of science degree in the college of health and human development, Thatcher arrived in Norman with his wife, Jen, and six-month-old daughter, Emma.

Prior to OU, Overman was a volunteer assistant strength coach for the University of Iowa football program in 2001, where he gained a variety of experience. Overman served an internship at Athlete’s Performance in Tempe, Ariz., in 2000 which allowed him to work directly with professional athletes. He was heavily involved in improving athletes’ sports specific needs such as flexibility, speed training, weight training, nutrition and physical recovery techniques. As an undergraduate at Creighton University, Overman had the opportunity to develop workout, testing, rehabilitation and maintenance programs for the Bluejay athletes. He also served as a student trainer for CU. The Mt. Vernon, Iowa, native is a certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and personal trainer. Overman belongs to the National Strength and Conditioning and the Strength & Conditioning Coaches associations.

Additionally, he is the supervisor of 25 student athletic trainers for the OU athletic department, as well as the volleyball team and spirit squads.

The University

Thatcher is known for establishing some of the premier kid’s club programs in the country with the Nittany Lion Kids Club and the Buckeye Wrestling Club. He is committed to initiating a kid’s club program to Norman to benefit the surrounding community. Thirteen of his former wrestlers Thatcher has mentored in the past are currently wrestling at the collegiate level.

That kind of commitment earned him a spot on head strength coordinator Jerry Schmidt’s staff that trains OU’s national powerhouse football program. In 2002, Overman was directly responsible for implementing strength training, speed, agility and conditioning programs for OU’s baseball and wrestling teams. Three of the four programs Overman coached that season advanced to postseason action including the national championship gymnastics team and the NCAA thirdplace wrestling team. In 2003, he added women’s basektball to his résumé and continued working with baseball and wrestling, two programs he has worked with since his arrival.

experience and contacts by becoming lobbyists. In addition, he introduced legislation seeking to limit gifts and travel subsidies that government workers, including members of Congress, can receive from lobbyists. Boren also chaired the special 1992-93 Joint Committee on the Organization of Congress, which produced proposals to make Congress more efficient and responsive by streamlining congressional bureaucracy, reducing staff sizes and reforming procedures to end legislative gridlock.

David L. Boren 13th President, The University of Oklahoma

Boren is widely respected for his academic credentials, his longtime support of education, and for his distinguished political career as a reformer of the American political system. A graduate of Yale University in 1963, Boren majored in American history, graduated in the top one percent of his class and was elected Phi Beta Kappa. He was selected as a Rhodes Scholar and earned a master’s degree in politics, philosophy and economics from Oxford University, England, in 1965.

One of Boren’s most far-reaching projects in promoting quality education at all levels is the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence, which he founded in 1985. The foundation recognizes outstanding public school students and teachers and helps establish private local foundations to help give academic endowment grants to local public schools. As a senator, he was the author of the National Security Education Act in 1992, which provides scholarships for study abroad and for learning additional languages, as well as legislation to restore the tax deductibility of gifts of appreciated property to universities in 1993.

For more than 10 years, he led the fight for congressional campaign finance reform and for legislation discouraging administration and congressional staff from cashing in on government

In 1995, Boren launched the “Reach for Excellence” fundraising campaign with a five-year goal of $200 million, which was twice as large as any fundraising drive in Oklahoma history. The drive exceeded $500 million, raising OU into the top 15 public universities in the United States in private endowment per capita. Since 1994, endowed professorships have more than quadrupled and the OU donor base has grown from 18,000 to more than 107,000 friends and alumni. During the first 10 years of Boren’s tenure over $1 billion in private gifts were donated to the university. Above all, the Boren years have been marked by an emphasis on putting students first. There is not a university president in the country that is more committed to students as his number one priority. He teaches a freshman-level course in political science each semester and is one of the few presidents of major universities to teach. Boren is married to Molly Shi Boren, a former judge and English teacher. Mrs. Boren is President Emeritus of the Oklahoma Arts Institute, which provides education programs in nine arts disciplines for high school students from across the state who are gifted in the arts. Molly Boren has two degrees from the University of Oklahoma, a master’s degree in English and a Juris Doctorate from the OU College of Law. A native of Seminole, Boren has two children, Carrie Christine Boren, an Episcopal minister, and David Daniel Boren, a member of the United States Congress from Oklahoma. Devoting much of his life to public service, Boren drew from the example of his parents, the late Congressman Lyle H. Boren and Christine Boren.

The University

During his time in the U.S. Senate from 1979 to 1994, Boren served on the Senate Finance and Agriculture Committees and was the longest-serving chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. From his days as a state legislator and governor of Oklahoma to Washington, Boren carried a commitment to reform, leading numerous efforts to make government work better for American citizens. As chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he strengthened oversight of secret government programs and reformed the procedures for Presidential notice of such programs to Congress.

Presidential Travel Scholarships, students from 111 countries on campus, more reciprocal international exchange agreements than any other university and the new International Programs Center are all making OU more international. The new Honors College helps to assure that no students need to leave Oklahoma to find an educational experience to match their potential.

OU Tr a di tion

Boren, also a former state legislator, spent nearly three decades in elective politics before becoming the president of the University of Oklahoma. Boren was the youngest governor in the nation when he served from 1974 to 1978. Known as a reformer, Boren campaigned with a broom as his symbol. During his term, he instituted many progressive programs, including conflict-ofinterest rules, campaign-financing disclosure, stronger open meeting laws for public bodies, more competitive bidding on state government contracts, and reform of the state’s prison system, including expanded education programs for first-time offenders and the largest expansion of the work-release program in state history.

The number of new facilities started or completed on the campus during the Boren years has matched the explosion in new programs. Since 1994, almost $1 billion in construction projects have been completed or are under way on OU’s three campuses. Among the largest of the recent projects are the $18.7 million renovation and expansion of historic Holmberg Hall, home of music and dance programs; the $67 million National Weather Center; the $19 million addition to the Michael F. Price College of Business; the $17 million Gaylord Hall for journalism and mass communication; the $27 million Stephenson Research and Technology Center; and the $83.5 million stadium project. The Health Sciences Center has a new Student Union, and the new $24 million Stanton L. Young Biomedical Research Center.

2008-09 REVIEW

As Oklahoma’s governor from 1974 through 1978, Boren promoted key educational initiatives that have had an enduring impact on Oklahoma. Established during his tenure were the Oklahoma Arts Institute, the Scholar-Leadership Enrichment Program, and the Oklahoma Physicians Manpower Training Program, which provides scholarships for medical students and medical personnel who commit to practice in underserved rural areas. Also, the first state funding for Gifted and Talented classes was provided in 1976 and, from 1976 through 1978, Oklahoma ranked first among all states in the percentage increases of funding for higher education.

Under Boren’s leadership, the University of Oklahoma has developed and emerged as a “pacesetter university in American public higher education,” with 20 major new programs initiated since his inauguration. They include establishment of the Honors College, the Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of Art of the American West, a new expository writing program for freshmen modeled on the program at Harvard, an interdisciplinary religious studies program, the Artistin-Residence Program, the International Programs Center, and the Faculty-in-Residence Program putting faculty family apartments in student residence halls. The Retired Professors Program has been started, bringing 50 retired full professors back to the University to teach freshmen.

THE SOONERS

In 1968, he received a law degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law, where he was on the Law Review, elected to the Order of the Coif, and won the Bledsoe Prize as the outstanding graduate by a vote of the faculty.

In April 2004, Boren received the Mory’s Cup from the Mory’s Association at Yale University. In making the presentation to Boren it was noted that he was the first Yale graduate in the university’s history extending over three centuries to have served as a Governor, U.S. Senator and President of a major university.

The Staff Staff The

David L. Boren, who has served Oklahoma as governor and U.S. senator, became the thirteenth president of the University of Oklahoma in November 1994. He is the first person in state history to have served in all three positions.

Boren served from 1988 to 1997 as a member of the Yale University Board of Trustees. His university experience also includes four years on the faculty of Oklahoma Baptist University, where he was chairman of the Department of Political Science and chairman of the Division of Social Sciences. In 1993, the American Association of University Professors presented Boren with the Henry Yost Award as Education Advocate of the Year.

PRE VI E W

Boren left the U.S. Senate in 1994 with an approval rating of 9l percent after being reelected with 83 percent of the vote in 1990, the highest percentage in the nation in a U.S. Senate contest in that election year.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Joe Castiglione

Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Programs and Director of Athletics, The University of Oklahoma

Principle Centered Leader …Visionary ... Passionate Advocate for Student-Athletes ... Establishes Standards of Excellence & Cultural Values ... Builder of Championship Programs The success of the University of Oklahoma Athletics Department is known throughout the world of intercollegiate athletics. The last decade may stand as one of the most successful in school history and leading that effort is Joe Castiglione, the Sooner AD since 1998. Castiglione’s Sooner team has worked to create a place where competitive dreams come true and academic goals are reached with regularity. Excellence is the norm at OU, and the Sooners’ sports programs, student-athletes, coaches and staff are committed to that standard. For Castiglione, though, it’s not just about the championships and trophies. The victories that he celebrates with his Sooners include graduation rates that continue to climb, record-setting grade point averages and academic honors. The true measure of achievement for Castiglione and, by extension, the department’s coaches and staff, is measured in the success of the student-athletes in relation to the department’s mission statement “Inspiring champions today … Preparing leaders for tomorrow” With the support of OU President David L. Boren and OU’s seven-member Board of Regents, Castiglione has gone about creating a climate that creates lofty goals, high standards and a commitment to ethical behavior that is second to none. Since arriving at OU in 1998 after an outstanding career at Missouri, Castiglione has seen the Sooners finish in the top 30 of the Learfield Director’s Cup in nine of the last 11 years. Through his insistence that daily and long-term decisions be made in a financially responsible manner, the department has closed the books in the black in each of the last 11 years. In 2009, the department increased its direct support of the academic mission of the University by increasing its annual commitment to $4 million dollars. Through direct and indirect support, OU Athletics, under Castiglione’s leadership, provides more than $7 million to OU Academics. The 11th director of athletics in University of Oklahoma history, Castiglione is quick to give full credit to the student-athletes and coaches, the staff, OU President David L. Boren, the OU Board of Regents, the donors and the fans for the success experienced during his tenure. It was that commitment to a team approach emphasis that was one of the many qualities that that the search committee recognized when they recommended Castiglione to university administration in 1998. In recognition of the performance of OU’s teams on the field and in the classroom, of the fiscal stability created during his tenure, the dramatic increases in donor giving, facility construction and renovations, and the cutting-edge programs that the department has begun during his tenure, Castiglione was named Athletic Director of the Year in May 2009 by the Sports Business Journal. That award was one of several earned by Castiglione and the department. The 2007 PRISM Award winner, presented by the School of Sports Management at the University of Massachusetts, OU was just the second Division I winner and all of the programs recognized by the selection panel were started under Castiglione’s leadership with the full support of university administration. His peers have honored him for the department’s achievements as well. In October 2004, the Bobby Dodd Foundation named him Athletics Director of the Year. In 2003, he was inducted into the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators Hall of Fame. In June 2001, he received the General Robert R. Neyland Athletic Director Award for lifetime achievement from the All-American Football Foundation. The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) named him Central Region AD of the Year in 2000.

2009-2010 Media Guide

The achievement that may bring him the most pride, though, came in May 2007 when he completed his master’s of education degree from OU. To understand the need for education and lifelong learning, OU’s student-athletes just have to look at their AD who started and completed his master’s degree while running the department and maintaining his priorities to his family. He quickly put his experience to use as an adjunct professor in the College of Education, teaching a graduate class in Marketing & Development. In his tenure, OU has celebrated seven national team championships and more than 40 conference team titles; record numbers of graduating student-athletes and record-setting grade point averages for Sooner teams; dramatically increased donor giving; huge increases in ticket sales for all sports; major facility improvements, and development and construction of new facilities. Castiglione was instrumental in the athletics department’s major campaign, Great Expectations: The Campaign For Sooner Sports. The campaign ended in November of 2003 with more than $125 million raised. The figure has grown to almost $200 million since then as funds continue to be raised for facility improvements and scholarship endowments. The largest fund-raising effort in OU athletics history includes projects that impact each of OU’s nearly 500 studentathletes and has become a national model for intercollegiate athletics. Hired on April 30, 1998, Castiglione joined the Sooner family after serving as athletics director at Missouri. In his 17-year career with the Tigers, Castiglione, who was named director of athletics at Missouri on Dec. 15, 1993, was credited with rebuilding sports programs, hiring outstanding coaches, implementing an innovative master plan for facilities, inspiring record-setting increases in fund-raising and balancing the budget in each of his five years as athletics director. A 1979 Maryland graduate, Castiglione received the University’s Distinguished Alumnus Award in April 2007. He began his career as the sports promotions director at Rice. He then worked a year as director of athletic fund-raising at Georgetown before being hired in 1981 at Missouri as director of communications and marketing. His commitment to the success of student-athletes has gone beyond the Norman campus and he has served at national and conference level. He chairs the NCAA’s Football Academic Progress Rate (APR) Working Group and is currently serving on the Gatorade Collegiate Advisory Board and the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame Board of Directors. He served two terms as chair of the Big 12 Board of Athletics Directors and is a past president of both the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association and NACDA. He served a four-year term on the NCAA Championship/Competition Cabinet and the NCAA Baseball Committee and is a past member of the NCAA Football Special Events Certification Committee. He recently served on the NCAA Diversity Leadership Strategic Planning Committee and the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Discussion Group. A member of the Phi Delta Theta Foundation Board of Trustees, he is a highly requested speaker at annual conventions and continuing education institutes. A native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Castiglione is married to the former Kristen Bartel, a 1990 graduate of the University of Missouri. They are the parents of two sons, Joseph Robert, Jr. and Jonathan Edmund.

It also marked the 14th-straight season Spates led the Sooners to at least 10 wins. In OUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second dual of the season against Oklahoma City, the Sooner head coach picked up his 200th career victiory in Norman. The Sooners bounced two Intermat Top 25 opponents throughout the season, including their in-state rival Oklahoma State on Dec. 7, marking the second consecutive victory against the Cowboys for the first time since 1995. Oklahoma climbed to No. 10 in the national polls on Jan. 6, its highest team

2009-2010 Media Guide

ranking since the 2006-07 season. Throughout the season, Sooner grapplers defeated 26 individual opponents ranked in the top 20. Additionally, seven Oklahoma wrestlers finished the season with 20 or more victories. The team impressively went 15-0 against nonconference foes during the regular season, and won its 10th-straight first place crown over a talented field at the Brockport/Oklahoma Gold Classic. Eight Sooners earned gold medal finishes at the Oklahoma Open on Nov. 29. The Sooner squad finished the regular season with two wrestlers ranked in the top eight in their respective weight classes and seven total in the top 20.

Overall, the Sooners advanced eight wrestlers to the NCAA Championships from the Big 12 held in Lincoln, Neb., on March 7.

Of the eight qualifying Sooners, three – Fio, Kyle Terry and Lapotsky – fell one victory short of AllAmerica status at the 2009 NCAA Championships inside the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Mo, going 2-2 overall against competition. Also recording a victory at the national tournament were Chad Terry, Jeff James, Flynn and Hernandez.

3Kyle Terry took home the gold medal at 149 pounds at the 2009 Big 12 Championships.

OU Tr adi tion

Oklahoma took fifth place at the conference championship with 38.5 team points. For the first time in the history of the conference, Nebraska and Iowa State shared first place with 70 points. Missouri claimed third (55 points) and Oklahoma State (40) finished fourth.

2008-09 REVIEW

Additionally, three other Sooners – Ryan Smith, Eric Lapotsky and Nathan Fernandez -- advanced to the national championship under the new selection criteria instituted in 2009. On March 11, Jeff James and Chad Terry were also chosen as atlarge selections to the NCAA.

Notching victories over top 10 seeds were Fio (beat No. 10 Scotti Sentes of Central Michigan), Fernandez (No. 10 Ryan Flores of Columbia) and Kyle Terry (No. 8 Matthew Kyler of Army).

THE SOONERS

Earning a third place medal and a spot in the 2009 NCAA was the three seed Pat Flynn, who bounced back from an opening round loss to post back-toback pins over Dorian Henderson of Missouri and Chris McNeil of Oklahoma State.

Oklahoma tallied 19 team points to finish 31st overall. Kyle Terry built his winning streak to 28 straight matches before it was halted by No. 1 seed Brent Metcalf of Iowa. Fio improved his winning streak to 16 matches before the Sacramento, Calif., native fell to the No. 2 seed, Troy Nickerson of Cornell in the quarterfinals.

The Staff

Joey Fio and Kyle Terry both lived up to their No. 1 seeds, as both posted 2-0 records on the day to earn their first career conference titles. Inside the historic NU Coliseum, the duo improved Spates’ Big 12 individual champion tally to 27. Fio picked up wins versus Andy Pokorny of Nebraska and No. 8 Tyler Clark of Iowa State and Terry posted victories over Luke Silver of Oklahoma State and No. 18 Mitch Mueller of Iowa State. It marked the ninth time in 12 seasons the Sooners posted multiple champions. With the gold medals, the two automatically qualified for the NCAA Championships.

JIMMY WHITE AWARD

Each year, the Takedown Club distributes awards for the outstanding freshman, most falls, MVP and the most improved wrestler. But the oldest award, and regarded as the most prestigious given to an OU wrestler, is the Jimmy White Award. The award is based on athletic accomplishment as well as team contribution, individual achievement and team spirit. Who was Jimmy White? He was not a national champion, nor considered a great Sooner wrestler. Some may never have heard of him or the award. Nevertheless, the distinguished honor has been presented since the 1969-70 season by his widow and founder of the award, Mrs. Jimmy White. James Enoch White is known in the pages of Sooner history as the man who beat Oklahoma A&M in 1932 and ended its 71-match winning streak. White’s first two seasons at 126 pounds were spent behind Lawrence Mantooth, the Sooners’ first NCAA champion. In his first starting season (1931), White won five matches, including three falls, and lost one while becoming high-point man for the Sooners with 27.5 points. Great things were predicted for OU the following year. After winning their first six duals, the Sooners entered the armory in Stillwater with the goal of stopping the Aggies’ win streak, which dated back to 1921. For the Sooners to win, White would have to defeat NCAA champion Bobby Pearce. Entering the dual before an overflow crowd, the Aggies were considered unbeatable in three weights, including 126. The home team got things started with a pin at 118. For the Sooners to win, White could not allow Pearce a pin, for which he was famous. After 10 minutes (back then matches were 10 minutes in duration), the match ended even and two three-minute overtimes periods were wrestled. Each rode the other during the extra periods. After 16 exhausting minutes, the match ended in a draw. After White’s match, OU won four of the final six to hand A&M its first defeat in more than a decade. White’s courageous draw had enabled the Sooners to pull the upset.
