UNIVERSIT Y OF OKL AHOMA MEN’S TENNIS

WELCOME LETTER That is very evident in the fact that we offer our student-athletes the top resources to help prepare them for success in every facet of life here at OU and after their collegiate careers.

As a coaching staff we believe we have the talent in place to compete at a very high level in the Big 12 Conference and on the nation’s elite level.

The University of Oklahoma is one of, if not the top, athletics programs in the country and we are held to the highest standards. The university and fans demand success and we would not have it any other way.

After recording 31 victories in the last two years and reaching the 2007 NCAA Tournament, our expectations for this season are even higher - improve our record and make an appearance in the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three years.

We look forward to the success that this season will bring and have our sights set on the bright futures of tomorrow.

ROSTER & QUICK FACTS

Working toward their second NCAA tournament appearance in three years, the Oklahoma men’s tennis team is looking for redemption in 2009. With three letterwinners returning from the 2008 squad, including two who reached the NCAA Tournament in 2007, the 2009 Sooners figure to rebuild on the momentum gained in 2007 and make a run at an NCAA Tournament appearance.

To complement what he already had tucked away, Lockwood and his assistant coach Silviu Tanasoiu recruited five newcomers – Blake Boswell, George Chanturia, Chase Miller, Andrew Oatman and David Pultr – who can step in and fill any void immediately.

Five highly skilled newcomers enter the mix along with an experienced senior, a junior who is ranked among the nation’s best, and a sophomore who is quickly developing into a dynamic player. Oklahoma expects it will contend with the not only the Big 12 Conference’s elite but the nation’s as well.

“I always expect the most from our kids and this season will be no different. We are a more highly skilled team this year and after what we were able to accomplish last year, I expect us to excel this season,” Lockwood said.

As proud as they were with their trip to the NCAA tournament two years ago, the duo of Sergey Avdeyev and Andrei Daescu would like to that performance this year.

Daescu will be leaned on this year to take on the role of the No. 1 singles spot and he is more than prepared.

They expect nothing less.

The Bucharest, Romania, native finished last fall with an overall record of 15-7. Daescu competed exclusively at the No. 1 spot as a sophomore and looks to thrive off of the experience gained in 2008.

Despite losing seniors Federico Chavarria and Ryan Thomas, who exhausted their eligibility, Oklahoma returns one senior – Avdeyev – who is a model of what Lockwood expects Sooners to be, a junior in Daescu, who participated in the NCAA Tournament last year as an at-large selection, and a sophomore in Ionut Beleleu, who opened the 2008-09 fall season with a 9-1 record.

10 2009 OKL AHOMA MEN’S TENNIS MEDIA GUIDE

As a freshman in 2007, Daescu played No. 1 through 3 singles when most players in his shoes were playing No. 4 through 6 singles. With the experience from the last two seasons under his belt, Daescu is better prepared to take on the elite competition in the nation.

UNIVERSIT Y OF OKL AHOMA MEN’S TENNIS

Avdeyev, Beleleu, Pultr, and transfer Boswell promise to give the Sooners a wealth of experience in singles play backing up Daescu.

Chanturia, Oatman and Miller all have speed and skill that are a must to compete in the Big 12 and on the nation’s elite level. “We feel very confident that either Sergey or Ionut can give us what we are looking for at No. 2 singles,” Lockwood said. “Both of them have shown that they can compete at the level needed to be a tremendous No. 2 player.”

SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN The Sooners’ schedule in 2009 is one that promises to prepare OU for its grueling Big 12 schedule.

From there, the Sooners will have four days to prepare for a trip to Fayetteville, Ark., to face the Arkansas Razorbacks on Feb. 20, before heading to Las Vegas, Nev., Feb. 27 and 28 to face off with Northern Arizona and UNLV. The Sooners finish out their non-conference schedule by hosting San Diego March 7 before heading to Birmingham, Ala., to compete in the Blue-Gray Classic, March 19-22. The six-match Big 12 schedule will feature home duals against rivals and perennial top 25 teams in Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State. Oklahoma travels to defending conference champion Baylor March 4 in its Big 12 opener. Other Big 12 road tilts include trips to Lincoln, Neb., to take on the Cornhuskers, and Lubbock, Texas, to square off with Texas Tech. The Big 12 Championships will be in Norman at the Headington Family Tennis Center and Gregg Wadley Pavilion April 24-26. The NCAA Regional is scheduled for May 9 and 10 at a site to be announced. The NCAA Championships will be held on the campus of Texas A&M University at the George P. Mitchell Tennis Center, May 14 through the 25.

OU will travel to Montgomery, Ala., for the Blue-Gray Classic again in 2009. This tournament is becoming a regular stop for Lockwood as many of the nation’s elite programs make appearances.

SEASON RE VIE W

“We are looking forward to a great 2009 season and, as usual, our schedule is a very challenging one with five of six Big 12 opponents ranked in the top-30 of the ITA pre-season rankings,” Lockwood said. “Our players are enthusiastic and ready to take on a tough schedule.”

After the home openers, the Sooners will hit the road for two straight matches in Seattle, Wash., first against Washington on Feb. 6 and then Boise State on Feb. 7, before returning to host Tulsa on Feb. 12. Two days later, Oklahoma plays host to TCU, and then to Pacific two days after that. Those matches are planned to be the first action in the brand new indoor tennis center, the Gregg Wadley Pavilion, will see.

THE STAFF

“Blake has grown tremendously in his singles play and we look forward to him becoming a staple in our starting singles lineup,” Lockwood continued. “George has improved enormously in the last couple of months. I think he will find his niche and make his way into the regular singles lineup.

Oklahoma opened the 2009 season in Oklahoma City when Texas Pan-American made the trip to Oklahoma City at Willow Creek Golf and Country Club on Jan. 24, followed by a home match at the Greens Country Club in Oklahoma City vs. Oral Roberts.

T HE SOON ERS

Avdeyev had strong showings in the No. 2 and 3 singles as a junior. The experience was invaluable as this season the Moscow, Russia, native will be looked upon to hold down anywhere from the No.1 to No. 3 slots at times.

The 11-match non-conference schedule has the Sooners hosting ranked opponents TCU, and San Diego and traveling to face ranked opponents in Washington, Boise State and Arkansas.

2009 SEASON

“Andrei is a very solid tennis player and last season, while rough at times, helped him mature and learn to focus on what he needed to do to improve and become a very highly skilled No. 1 singles player at the Division I level,” Lockwood said. “We have full confidence in Andrei and the way he improved himself during the offseason shows he is ready to resume his role as a leader this season.”

PAUL LOCKWOOD HEAD COACH | 22nd SEASON | 313-201 (.609)

Rare is it that you have a former student-athlete return to his alma mater and become the cornerstone of an athletic program. But that is exactly what the University of Oklahoma men’s tennis program received in 1974 as a talented young man, Paul Lockwood, stepped on the courts. Now more than 30 years later and with 328 victories under his belt, that same man has become the cornerstone of a successful Division I tennis program at Oklahoma. Not only has his program succeeded on the court, it has produced where it counts the most, in the classroom. From the fall 1996 semester through the spring 2006 semester, Lock-

wood’s team held a cumulative team GPA of at least a 3.0. Lockwood now sits at the head of a team that may be his best since the inception of the Big 12. With the addition of an indoor tennis center this season, the future could not look any brighter for Lockwood and the Sooner men’s tennis program. Lockwood reached a personal coaching milestone on April 26, 2007, when his team defeated the Texas Tech Red Raiders by a score of 4-3. Not only did the Sooners pocket their 18th win of the 2007 season, but Lockwood notched his 300th career victory.

In 1979, he participated in the U.S. Open Qualifying Tournament in Flushing Meadows, N.Y. Lockwood earned a world ranking in both singles and doubles play during his professional career.

The 1999 season was an especially impressive one when Lockwood earned his first trip as a head coach to the National Indoor Team Championships. His team defeated host Tulsa, 4-2 and then proceeded to defeat the No. 1 seed Kansas by a score of 4-1.

BOOMER S OONER

The Tulsa, Okla., native has amassed a career record of 313-201 in 22 years. His program has accumulated 13 singles and nine doubles conference champions.

HI STO RY

Lockwood returned to lead the Oklahoma tennis program in 1987 after serving as the head professional at Philcrest Hills Tennis Club in Tulsa, Okla., for one year. He also was the head professional at Shadow Mt. Racquet Club for five years (1981-86).

SEASON RE VIE W

From there, Lockwood was named the head coach at the University of Tulsa where he served as head coach for one season. After one season in Tulsa, Lockwood dusted off his racket and decided to play tennis professionally for two seasons.

THE STAFF

After graduating from OU in 1976, Lockwood served one term as an OU assistant to then head coach Jerry Keen during the 1977 season.

Coming out of Tulsa’s Holland Hall High School where the young Lockwood only lost two singles matches his entire career, he became a key component of the Sooners’ four-year reign of the Big Eight while in school.

T HE SOON ERS

University of Oklahoma NOTE: Team captain of the Sooners’ 1976 Big Eight Championship squad. Also won the Big Eight No. 1 singles and doubles crown.

COACHING EXPERIENCE 1987-Present: 1977-78: 1976-77:

His accomplishments as a head coach have not gone ignored as he was named the 1991 and 1992 Big Eight Coach of the Year by his peers. An accomplished coach at Oklahoma, Lockwood was just as outstanding as a student-athlete for the Sooners.

PLAYING EXPERIENCE 1974-76

Ironically, the last time that a Sooner team had accomplished such a feat was with Lockwood serving his one year as an assistant coach in 1977.

THE LOCKWOOD FAMILY

Lockwood has produced outstanding tennis players at the University of Oklahoma and his student-athletes have produced where it matters most and that is the classroom. Students-athletes are attracted to the University of Oklahoma for many reasons and they are recruited because of their athletic ability. Still, over the past 21 years, Lockwood and his staff have made sure that their student-athletes know the main reason they have come to the University of Oklahoma. And that is to get an education. Lockwood’s players have been named to the Academic All-Big 12 first team 23 times since 1998. Of those 23, seven have been on multiple first teams. Eight student-athletes have been honored on the second team. From 1992-1996, 10 athletes were named to the All-Big Eight singles team. One of those student-athletes was a two-time award winner. The Oklahoma men’s tennis team has produced 22 ITA Scholar Athletes since 1993.

Of those 22, Brett Zeuschner, Jave Rush, Rick Warren, Chris Mitchell, Tommy Garrison, Silviu Tanasoiu, Matt Long and Lee Gregg were multiple winners. Tanasoiu, a current assistant coach, was a threetime winner and Garrison was a four-time winner. In 2006, Garrison was a member ESPN THE MAGAZINE/CoSIDA Academic All-America team.

“Silviu has brought a lot of energy and on and off court experience to the players,” Lockwood said.

The former OU standout was a three-year letterwinner at Oklahoma while competing for the Sooners from 2003-2005. Tanasiou graduated from Oklahoma in 2005 with a degree in psychology. The Romanian native arrived at OU after competing at the University of Louisiana-Monroe for the 200102 season, finishing with the third highest winning percentage on the team. Once arriving at Oklahoma, Tanasoiu served as a reliable threat in singles and doubles competition.

Tanasoiu’s excellent leadership on the court and his age will be a valuable asset to the Sooners’ coaching staff. Lockwood has been very pleased to work with his former player and sees a great deal of potential in him in the future. “He will make a great impact on our program,” Lockwood continued. For the last three and a half years, Tanasoiu has also been working with former OU standout Anda Perianu on the professional circuit. With Tanasoiu as her coach, Perianu reached the second round of the 2006 French Open and a ranking of 120 on the WTA tour.

SEASON REVIEW OKLAHOMA MEN’S TENNIS

UNIVERSIT Y OF OKL AHOMA MEN’S TENNIS

2007-08: Year In Review In 2008 Paul Lockwood proved his worth as the head coach of the Sooners. At times during the season, the young but talented Sooners showed glimpses of being a top-ranked team.

The Sooners strength came from a bevy of youthful players. In particular, sophomore Andrei Daescu, a unanimous selection to the all-Big 12 team in singles.

YEAR IN REVIEW

Daescu teamed with senior Federico Chavarria to earn all-Big 12 honors in doubles as well. The doubles award was the second consecutive for the duo that also teamed up in 2007. The pair was also ranked No. 39 nationally in the ITA doubles ranking and No. 3 in the Central Region. Chavarria and Daescu finished the season with a record of 14-7. OU also boasted another ranked duo in senior Ryan Thomas and freshman Ionut Beleleu, No. 13 in the Central Region by ITA. Daescu was one of 47 at-large selections to participate in the NCAA Championships. Daescu fell to Clancy Shields of Boise State and ended the year at No. 39 in the ITA singles ranking. The young players proved to be OU’s strength as Daescu, junior Sergey Avdeyev, and freshman Alexandria Joitoiu all performed well throughout the season.

26 2009 OKL AHOMA MEN’S TENNIS MEDIA GUIDE

Avdeyev ended the season ranked No. 15 in the Central Region, and freshman Ionut Beleleu was ranked No. 27 in the Central Region by ITA.

On the season, the pre-season No. 34th-ranked Sooners opened play in stunning fashion winning the Shocker Invitational after defeating Wichita State and Illinois State, back-to-back.

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 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.

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT

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. 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. 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. 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-of-interest 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. 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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. 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 Artist-inResidence 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 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. 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

2009 OKL AHOMA MEN’S TENNIS MEDIA GUIDE

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.

ATHLETICS DIRECTOR Each of those characteristics, standing alone, describes the 11th director of athletics in University of Oklahoma history. However, just as he has brought together different groups who are committed to one goal, you must combine those traits to get the complete picture of the person who has led the OU athletics department since 1998.

Perhaps his most unique achievement over the last 10 years for Castiglione, though, came when he received his masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of education degree from OU in May 2007. To understand the need for education and lifelong learning,

Castiglione was hired on April 30, 1998, 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 recordsetting increases in fund-raising and balancing the budget in each of his five years as athletics director. A 1979 Maryland graduate, Castiglione received the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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

His peers have honored him for the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

HISTORY

His commitment to the success of student-athletes led NCAA President Dr. Myles Brand to appoint him as chair of the Football Academic Progress Rate (APR) Working Group in June of 2008. This group, which includes presidents, chancellors, conference commissioners, faculty athletics representatives, athletics directors and head football coaches, has been given the charge to review the APR as it pertains to Division I football student-athletes. When the study is complete, the group will report back to Dr. Brand and the NCAA Board of Directors with their findings, evaluations and recommendations for improvement.

Castiglione has cultivated over 20 multi-million dollar gifts, including the largest capital gifts in history for athletics at OU, and some of the largest ever for the university as a whole. He has driven dramatic facilities projects, including a $70 million renovation and expansion of Gaylord FamilyOklahoma Memorial Stadium. Others include a $17.2 million renovation of Lloyd Noble Center; phase I of The Headington Family Tennis Complex; John Jacobs Track and Field Complex; the Everest Training Facility, one of the largest indoor practice areas in the country; and construction of the Gregg & Betsy Wadley Indoor Tennis Center. Other projects completed in his tenure have included the redesign of the Sooner football practice fields; the Port Robertson Wrestling Facility; phase I & II of the Sooner Soccer Complex, expansion of the Viersen Gymnastics Pavilion as well as additional renovations to the McCasland Field House; L. Dale Mitchell Park, the Charlie Coe Golf Learning Center, the OU Softball Complex and Barry Switzer Center. His administrative work, which has seen significant reorganization and the hiring of 12 head coaches, also included the negotiation of multi-million dollar multi-media rights contract that produces more than $8 million in annual revenue for the athletics department. His leadership was instrumental as well as the Sooners added their 21st athletics team to the OU family, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rowing (which will begin competition in the fall of 2008) and the design and construction of the new McClendon Boathouse on the Oklahoma River.

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., (12) and Jonathan Edmund (8).

The accomplishments of the department and its studentathletes, coaches and staff have earned national recognition for the university and the department. Recognized as the 2007 PRISM Award winner 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 Castiglioneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership. The PRISM Award annually recognizes one Division I intercollegiate athletics department that demonstrates industry-leading excellence and innovation in sports management.

Credited with energizing OUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fund-raising efforts, Castiglione was instrumental in the athletics departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 the department continues its approach, and largest fund-raising effort in OU athletics history including projects that impact each of OUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly 500 student-athletes and has become a national model.

THE STAFF

Quick to give credit to the student-athletes and coaches, the staff and the university administration, the donors and the fans, Castiglione was the one who implemented the changes that led to success. When he was hired in 1998, the search committee believed they had found a rising star in the field of intercollegiate athletics administration. Everything that has happened since his arrival at OU has cemented that reputation.

The 11th director of athletics at the University of Oklahoma has celebrated seven national team championships and over 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. And, as aggressive as the push to improve, expand and excel has been, he has produced a balanced budget in every year of his tenure, a first since the early 1980s.

at Georgetown before being hired in 1981 at Missouri as director of communications and marketing. Active on the national and conference level, he 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 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 agreed to serve on the NCAA Diversity Leadership Strategic Planning Committee and the NCAA Division I Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Basketball Discussion Group. In 2007, he was named to the Phi Delta Theta Foundation Board of Trustees. He is a highly requested speaker at annual conventions and continuing education institutes.

T HE SOON ERS

Joe Castiglione has established a pattern of excellence that few in his profession can match. In an environment where every decision is made reflecting the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission statement â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inspiring champions today â&#x20AC;Ś Preparing leaders for tomorrow,â&#x20AC;? forming the background, Castiglione is leading the department that has written one of the most successful eras in school history.

OUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student-athletes just have to look at their AD who started and completed his masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

As home to the state’s premier educational institution, Norman boasts an excellent quality of life and is a city that thrives on and celebrates the diversity of its community. Legendary University of Oklahoma football coach Barry Switzer called Norman “a university town with a championship spirit.” Norman continually exhibits its love for sports by hosting numerous local and national athletic events.

Students also enjoy a large amount of storage space on our athletic network. Laptop computers are checked out to students when the computer centers are unavailable. This allows access to our network and resources 24 hours a day. The laptop program is very important in helping our athletes stay on top of their schoolwork when traveling. Group training is provided for all new student-athletes during the first week of supervised study. This helps familiarize each student with our resources and procedures.

The Sooner tradition isn’t something buried in the past. It inspires OU’s studentathletes to greater heights every season. Oklahoma continued its excellence during the 2006-07 school year as football, softball, women’s basketball and men’s track all won Big 12 titles. The University of Oklahoma has a long and storied history. The rich tradition has given birth to some of the most recognized pageantry in all of college athletics. Here is a look at the origin of some of the elements that create the wonderful atmosphere so unique to OU:

SOONERS College sports fans are hard-pressed to find a nickname that is as unique and as tiedin to a state’s history as a Sooner. The University of Oklahoma is the only school known as Sooners and those who claim that they are Sooners say it with pride. The Oklahoma Territory opened with the Land Run of 1889. Settlers from across the globe, seeking free land, made their way to the prairies of the plains to stake their claim. One of the few rules to claiming a lot of land was that all participants were to start at the same time, on the boom of a cannon. All settlers who started then were labeled as “Boomers” and the ones who went too soon were called “Sooners.” OU athletic teams were called either Rough Riders or Boomers for 10 years before the current Sooner nickname emerged in 1908.

The university actually derived its name from a pep club called “The Sooner Rooters.” The success of University of Oklahoma athletic teams over the years has made the nickname synonymous with winning.

A STORIED AND ACTIVE TRADITION The University of Oklahoma athletics program boasts a tradition that few schools can rival. Over the years, Sooner squads have combined for 25 team national championships including seven in football, seven in wrestling, seven in men’s gymnastics, two in baseball, one in men’s golf and one in softball.

One of the most recognizable college fight songs in the country, Boomer Sooner immediately evokes enthusiasm from OU fans and sends chills down the spines of those who dare to oppose them. In 1905, Arthur M. Alden, a student in history and physiology whose father was a Norman jeweler, wrote the lyrics to the fight song, borrowing the tune from Yale University’s Boola Boola but improvising the words. A year later, an addition was made to it from North Carolina’s I’m a Tarheel Born and the two combined to form the university’s fight song today. Though the tune was first made known by Yale, the everlasting success of Sooner squads has taken the melody of Boomer Sooner to national popularity. Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner Boomer Sooner, OK U! Oklahoma, Oklahoma Oklahoma, Oklahoma Oklahoma, Oklahoma Oklahoma, OK U! I’m a Sooner born and Sooner bred and when I die, I’ll be Sooner dead Rah Oklahoma, Rah Oklahoma Rah Oklahoma, OK U!

PRIDE OF OKLAHOMA The Pride of Oklahoma Marching Band has been supporting Sooner Spirit for nearly a century. Unlike many other college bands, which began as military drill units, the Pride of Oklahoma had its beginnings as a pep band. In the early years of the 1900s, both townspeople of Norman and students of OU participated in a band that played for football games. Professor John Merrill started the first band in 1901, which was composed mostly of townspeople and disbanded after each football season. Lloyd Curtis, a cornetist, founded the first continuous student band in 1904. Today, the 300-member Pride of Oklahoma has members representing virtually every college and major on campus. The Pride of Oklahoma stands for excellence in musicianship, academics, school spirit, and commitment to our role in the surrounding community. Boomer Sooner rings out at the end of each rehearsal, and that song is the defining element of the University of Oklahoma. Maybe that is why Sooner fans love the band so much. Not much can compare to the first “go-go” at a football game when the Pride of Oklahoma marches the interlocking OU down the field playing Boomer Sooner.

MASCOTS

During OU football and baseball games from 1915-1928, Mex the Dog wore a red sweater with a letter “O” on the side. Mex died of old age on April 30, 1928, and he was so popular among students and faculty that the university closed for his funeral and procession on May 2, 1928.

On gamedays, a sea of crimson rolls through OU’s home venues and all Sooners are urged to wear the official colors to show the rest of the country what school spirit and Sooner Pride is all about.

OU CHANT The OU Chant is a loyalty song that is sung before every home football game, before and after every men’s and women’s basketball games and at the end of many athletic and university functions. Every fan who wears the official colors, each current student and student-athlete and all OU alumni are encouraged to stand and raise one finger in the air during the playing of the Chant -- a symbolic gesture that shows those who do not know what it means to be a Sooner, the greatness of the university and the unity between all Sooners.

HISTORY

O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A Our chant rolls on and on! Thousands strong Join heart and song In alma mater’s praise Of campus beautiful by day and night Of colors proudly gleaming Red and White ‘Neath a western sky OU’s chant will never die. Live on University!

SEASON RE VIE W

The Chant was written in 1936 by Jessie Lone Clarkson Gilkey, who directed the OU girl’s glee club from 1936 to 1938 and was voted Outstanding Faculty Woman in 1937.

THE STAFF

In the fall of 2005, the OU Athletics Deparment introduced costumed mascots. The new characters will act as an extension of the Sooner Schooner and its horses to be enjoyed by fans -- especially children -- at all OU athletics contests. The costumes feature traditional collegiate gear as part of their regular uniform, but will don team uniforms for football and men’s and women’s basketball. They were voted “Most Collegiate” by the Universal Cheerleading Association (UCA).

Even though the school colors have evolved to red and white over the years, you can ask any self-respecting Sooner what the colors are and they will proudly announce “Crimson and Cream.”

T HE SOON ERS

The Sooner Schooner is a Conestoga, or covered wagon, reminiscent of the mode of travel used by pioneers who settled Oklahoma. The Schooner is powered by matching white ponies named Boomer and Sooner, and it ventures onto Owen Field in a triumphant victory ride after OU scores. Although the Schooner was introduced in 1964, it did not become the official mascot until 1980. The Schooner is well-recognized by college athletics fans across the country and makes regular appearances at university functions.

The student body approved with great enthusiasm and immediately pennants, banners, badges and decorations of every description appeared on the streets, in the windows, at chapel, in classrooms, and all public places; however, local merchants could not supply the demand.

2009 SESAON

CRIMSON AND CREAM In the fall of 1895, Miss May Overstreet, the only woman on the faculty, was asked to chair a committee to select the colors of the university. The committee decided the colors should be crimson and cream and an elaborate display of the colors was draped above a platform before the student body.

FIRST CLASS FACILITIES

MCCLENDON CENTER FOR INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS

With one of the greatest winning traditions in intercollegiate athletics, the University of Oklahoma, its players, coaches and fans understand the meaning of “Great Expectations.” OU hopes for and expects great things from its athletics teams -- and the athletes and coaches expect the same from themselves. Time and time again, the Sooners have delivered on this expectation: 25 national championships, 208 conference titles and more than 1,000 All-Americans.

While the football gameday facilities in the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium may be more familiar to OU supporters, the north side McClendon Center for Intercollegiate Athletics is one of the most vital areas for OU’s entire athletics program as it is the center of student learning and athletics administration activities.

The University of Oklahoma’s goal is to provide first-class facilities and resources for all the programs and endeavors sponsored by the institution. OU Athletics captures so much attention and interest that it requires the help and support of all Sooners to continue the tradition that all have enjoyed. With that in mind, OU launched “Great Expectations...The Campaign for Sooner Sports” in 1999. “Great Expectations - The Campaign for Sooner Sports,” a recently completed fund-raising effort, was about the continuation of a proud championship tradition. It was a five-year campaign launched with an eventual goal of $100 million, making possible an extraordinary era in new athletics facilities that has led to unprecedented athletic and academic success for OU student-athletes.

ROBIN SIEGFRIED & FAMILY STRENGTH & CONDITIONING COMPLEX This 13,000-square-foot facility serves more than 400 athletes in OU’s 20 sports. The state-of-the-art facility inside the Barry Switzer Center has been central to OU’s success in recent years and helped develop OU’s reputation as the strength and conditioning field.

BARRY SWITZER CENTER A special feature is the Barry Switzer Center on the south side of the Gaylord FamilyOklahoma Memorial Stadium, where OU’s storied football history is displayed, media conferences are held and recruits are entertained. The center recently experienced a significant upgrade to reflect this success and to fully realize the original vision as an exhibit area focusing on OU’s greatest victories and most successful coaching eras.

HENRY J. FREEDE, M.D., SPORTS MEDICINE FACILITY GAYLORD FAMILY - OKLAHOMA MEMORIAL STADIUM The $75 million expansion and renovation of OU’s football stadium, completed in 2004, transformed a towering concrete structure into a beautiful facility featuring the brick and cast stone that characterize OU’s historic buildings. The expansion added 8,000 seats, including 56 suites, on the east side. At the same time, the press box was remodeled and outfitted with several state-of-the-art features. This historical facility is the largest sports arena in the state, and following its recent expansion, now ranks among the 15 largest on-campus facilities in the nation.

This 8,000-square-foot sports medicine facility within the Barry Switzer Center treats athletes from all 20 sports, ensuring the best possible health for OU student-athletes through preventative medicine and post-injury treatment and rehabilitation.

FRED & MARY EDDY JONES FOUNDATION RED ROOM The Red Room is where OU football players meet as a team or offensive/defensive units to watch motivational videos before each game. OU’s offense and defense post their goals for each week, and the Sooner coach holds his post-game press conference in this area.

EVEREST TRAINING CENTER Considered one of the premier indoor facilities in the country, the Everest Training Center is a 74,000-square-foot center that includes a full-size playing field, simulated stadium lighting, a complete scoreboard with play clocks, LED 40-yard timing devices and a ceiling that hangs 65 feet above the playing surface to allow for all kicking and throwing drills.

HEADINGTON FAMILY TENNIS CENTER The construction of the $1.4 million, 12-court championship facility created for the tennis teams during the athletic campaign was particularly notable because it was donations exclusively from tennis lettermen who made the new courts possible. The tennis teams will also enjoy a mult-purpose building in between the courts and the OU Soccer Complex. The facility includes locker rooms, meeting and video rooms and offices for the coaches and student athletes.

UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA HOWARD MCCASLAND FIELD HOUSE The Field House is one of OU’s most historic buildings. Many OU alumni fondly recall the field house as the home of OU’s basketball program, which it was until Lloyd Noble Center opened in 1975. In 2005, the Field House underwent a $6 million facelift that included a complete interior renovation comprised of a resanded and repainted floor with four efficient practice courts and chair-back seating that offers fans more comfort. In addition, the entire facility was repainted and improvements were made to the HVAC system, sound system, lighting and scoreboards. The Sooners have also enjoyed renovations done to the training room as well as an upgrade to both the volleyball and wrestling locker rooms.

SOFTBALL COMPLEX

BASEBALL EXPANSION Renovations to L. Dale Mitchell Park were completed when the press box underwent state-of-the-art improvements including four suites and a press area, the Mike Treps Media Room. The facility, which opened in 1982, hosted its first NCAA Regional in 2006 and is currently in the process of adding a state-of-the-art indoor hitting facility.

BOB AND ANN COLEMAN MEN’S BASKETBALL CENTER The nearly 63,000-square-feet Lloyd Noble Center addition offers a matched set of men’s and women’s facilities, including full-sized practice courts, new team and coaches’ locker rooms, training rooms and steam/spa/sauna rooms. Office facilities and conference rooms provide views of the practice courts as special features and a shared weight training facility was created. The Keer-McGee Courtside Club gives fans a new venue for special events.

JOHN JACOBS TRACK AND FIELD COMPLEX

GREGG WADLEY INDOOR TENNIS PAVILION This 55,000-square-foot indoor tennis pavilion is one of the finest practice and competition venues in the country. The complex includes six air-conditioned courts, championship quality lighting and surface, and approximately 375 chair-back seats for spectators, which are elevated between the courts.

SEASON RE VIE W

The project, which was completed in spring 2004, includes a 25,000-square-foot building connecting the Mosier Indoor Practice Facility with the Everest Training Center. This new building includes track and field locker rooms, a sports medicine room and a video teaching room. The John Jacobs Track was altered and re-surfaced to include European Oval turns for a faster track and nine 48-inch wide lanes. Other improvements include upgrades of field event areas, placing them directionally north/south and east/west to take advantage of wind conditions; spectator seating for 2,000; new restrooms and concessions; and the installation of championship lighting.

MARY JANE NOBLE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL CENTER In 1975, the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation of Ardmore made the first million-dollar gift in OU history with its contribution to OU’s campaign to build a multi-purpose arena. In 1999, the foundation made another gift to support the renovation of the original center, adding first-class matching facilities for the men’s and women’s basketball teams. The Lloyd Noble Center addition includes two new full-sized practice courts for the men’s and women’s basketball teams.

T HE SOON ERS

In 2002, the Robert E. Young and Family Softball Locker Room was added to the Softball Complex, giving the team a spacious and comfortable gathering place for preparation and relaxation. In 2003, the softball field was named in honor of retired softball coach and women’s administrator Marita Hynes.

2009 SESAON

JOHN CRAIN FIELD AT THE OU SOCCER COMPLEX The University of Oklahoma Athletics Department and the soccer program enjoyed a $4.5 million expansion to the soccer stadium in 2006. In addition to a press box and a permanent grandstand, a multi-use building is located between John Crain Field at the OU Soccer Complex and the Headington Family Tennis Center at the corner of Chautauqua Avenue and Imhoff Road. The multi-purpose complex includes locker rooms, meeting and video rooms and officesfor the student-athletes and coaches.

BIG 12 CONFERENCE A CONFERENCE OF EXCELLENCE The Big 12 Conference has established a consistent level of national success on the field and in the classroom as it enters its 13th season in 2008-09. Since it began play in 1996-97, the Conference can boast 31 team crowns and over 385 individual NCAA Championships. The success continued during 2007-08 as Kansas captured the Big 12’s first national title in men’s basketball, while the league added 31 individual crowns. Over the past four seasons a total of 12 NCAA trophies have been hoisted by Big 12 institutions, with at least one national crown won in all but one year for the Conference, including each of the past 11 seasons. The Big 12 leads all conferences with five appearances in Bowl Championship Series title games. League squads have played for the football national championship five times in the last nine years with berths in 14 BCS games overall, including two in 2007. The Big 12 led all conferences with four teams ranked in the Top 10 in the final national polls a season ago. In addition, an all-time high eight league players earned consensus All-America recognition in 2007, more than any other conference. In basketball, nine men’s and women’s teams have advanced to their respective Final Fours in the past seven seasons as the Big 12 continues its place among the elite intercollegiate athletic conferences. The six men’s Final Four participants since 2002 is more than any conference. Numerous national honors have been won by basketball student-athletes during the league’s history, with Michael Beasley (Kansas State), D.J. Augustin (Texas) and Courtney Paris (Oklahoma) the most recent to garner accolades as consensus All-America in 2007-08. The Big 12 and its member institutions are committed to a competitive environment where sportsmanship and fair play take center stage. Whether on the field, in the classroom, or within the community the student-athletes, administrators, coaches and game officials of the Big 12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship. Big 12 student-athletes also do well in garnering national academic recognition. Sarah Pavan (Nebraska) was named Academic All-America of the Year in volleyball the past two seasons by ESPN The Magazine and College Sports Information Directors of America with a 4.0 grade-point average in Biochemistry. She also won the national academic honor presented for all sports in 2006-07 and was named recipient of the prestigious 2006-07 Honda-Broderick Award as Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year. She is the first athlete since the Big 12 was formed to earn the accolade. In addition to his athletic accomplishments, Augustin was an Academic All-America First Team choice. In its history, the conference can boast of over 300 academic honorees, averaging more than 25 each season. The Big 12 can boast of other stories that combine on and off the field success. Patience Knight (Texas Tech) was the recipient of the Honda Inspiration Award in 2008, given to an outstanding female college athlete who overcomes adversity to excel in her sport. She was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in 2007, but rebounded to win All-America honors at the 2008 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships. Competitive excellence, scholarship and sportsmanship are all equal components of the Big 12 philosophy. All-Big 12 teams and Academic All-Big 12 squads are recognized for each sport at the end of their respective seasons. At the end of each academic year, the Conference honors its top male and female student-athletes with the Big 12 Athlete of the Year and Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year awards. Institutions can also nominate student-athletes for the prestigious Dr. Prentice Gautt Postgraduate Scholarships at the end of each academic year.
