DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Linda Van Drie Andrzjewski Director of Athletics | Seventh Year
As the Director of Athletics at Wilmington University, I would like to welcome you to the 2014-15 academic year. This is an exciting time for the Wildcats, as it is the third full season after we officially opened our facility on Route 40. The new athletics complex will be home to six of our athletic teams, the administrative offices and another state of the art athletic training facility. The facility features a beautiful turf field and outdoor seating for 300, a spacious gymnasium with seating for 400 and additional locker room space. This new facility will enhance the growth of our program and be a sense of pride for all Wildcats. Our athletic teams continue to grow and do well. For the fourth year in a row, the men’s program has won the coveted Restaino Cup in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference. This is no doubt a reflection of our excellent coaching staff. This year we plan to build on this success and continue to compete for conference and post-season titles in all of our sports programs. The success of our program is contingent upon the support of the administration the quality of the student-athletes we have in each sport. At Wilmington University we are proud of our strong staff and wonderful student-athletes. This is an exciting era for Wilmington University and the athletic program as members of NCAA Division II. I am very fortunate to be working with an athletic department that has such a fine history and a real vision of what it takes to compete at the Division II level. I am also honored to be associated with a very caring, dedicated and talented athletics staff and coaches and especially our wonderful and diligent student-athletes who work so hard to carry on the tradition of excellence at Wilmington University. I hope that you will take the time to support all of the Wildcats’ teams. Their hard work and contributions to Wilmington University, on and off the competitive field, are to be recognized and commended. It is a great time to be a Wildcat! Yours in Sport,
Linda M. Van Drie Andrzjewski

WILMINGTON UNIVERSITY AT A GLANCE Wilmington University is a private, non-profit university that offers both undergraduate and graduate degree programs in a wide range of career areas. The University began with a charter class of 194 students in 1968 and now enrolls a diverse student body numbering more than 15,000 annually. Founded as Wilmington College, on September 10, 2007 the institution officially became Wilmington University after the approval of the Board of Trustees and the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. The name was changed to better reflect the emphasis on bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate degree programs that distinguish Wilmington University from other colleges as well as to effectively communicate the full commitment and mission of the University. The program of day, evening, and weekend classes serves traditional high school graduates as well as non-traditional adult students in need of flexible scheduling. Classes are primarily offered in 15-week, 7-week, and weekend modular formats. In addition to these face-to-face learning options, Wilmington University offers a wide array of online learning options, including fully-online degree programs and hybrid courses and programs (combining face-to-face and online learning). Wilmington University’s main campus is located near the cities of Wilmington and historic New Castle, Delaware. The campus is easily accessible by air, rail, and bus. Our central location in the northeast/mid-Atlantic corridor of the United States provides students convenient access to the major cities of Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, and Washington D.C. Recreational areas such as beaches and ski resorts are within easy driving distance. Additional University locations in Delaware include the Wilson Graduate Center, Middletown, Dover, Dover Air Force Base, Georgetown, Rehoboth Beach, and North Wilmington. In New Jersey, Wilmington University offers programs on Burlington County College and Cumberland County College campuses and the Joint Base Education Center for McGuire AFB/Fort Dix/Lakehurst Naval Air Station, in addition to a selection of courses offered at Salem Community College. In Maryland, select Wilmington University teacher-education degree programs are available at Cecil College’s Elkton location. Wilmington University generally serves commuter students and does not provide student housing facilities. However, the University welcomes all qualified students and assists those needing living accommodations by providing a listing of nearby rental opportunities.

COACHING STAFF Keith Jones
Head Coach | 14th Season Keith Jones founded the cross country program at Wilmington in 2001, and is responsible for the challenging design of the Wildcat’s home 5k and 8k courses at Carousel Park in Pike Creek, Del. Now entering his 14th season at the helm, Jones continues to produce talented teams that are perennial contenders. Jones began his running career as a freshman in high school, and continues to be active in local road races. He has coached several high school programs in Delaware, including Sanford School, Mt. Pleasant High School, and Ursuline Academy. In each of these positions, he led the teams to their best records in school history. During his tenure here at Wilmington University, Jones has consistently fielded talented teams, and has established the program as one that is highly respected throughout the Conference and Region. He has coached 51 All- Conference runners, eight CACC Rookies of the Year, six Conference Runner-Ups, six Conference Champions, 11 All-Regional runners, and two National Qualifiers. Jones was also the 2009 CACC Women’s Coach of the Year, 2012 and 2013 CACC Men’s Coach of the Year, and the men’s team is the two-time reigning CACC Conference Champions. During the 2013 CACC Championship, Jones mentored the men’s team to a perfect 15 points in capturing their second straight CACC crown. The team went on to place third in the NCAA East Regional Championship, earning an automatic bid to the National Meet. Competing in Spokane, Wash., the men finished 30th overall at the NCAA Division II National Championship, the first Wilmington team to compete at the national meet. Jones received his bachelor’s and master’s degree from the University of Delaware in Sport Psychology, and has consulted with local athletes concerning performance enhancement strategies, and teaches Sport Psychology at Wilmington University. In his quest for improvement, Jones relentlessly searches for innovative training methods, products, and ideas to incorporate with his athletes. Jones and his wife reside in Newark, Delaware

COACHING STAFF Jill Bosch
Assistant Coach | Third Season Jill Bosch came to Wilmington University as an assistant coach in 2012 with a familiarity of the Wildcat program and knowledge of the training strategies employed by head coach Keith Jones. As an alumnus of Wilmington University, Bosch ran under Jones in 2004 and 2005. During her time at Wilmington, she earned team MVP honors and earned CACC All-Conference Honors in both seasons. Prior to her time as a Wildcat, Bosch ran four years for Padua Academy where she qualified for the Delaware High School State Championship Meet, and was named All-Catholic in both cross country and track and field. Bosch will bring a very competitive spirit and ability to inspire confidence in the current Wildcat runners. She is an athlete who gives tremendous effort on a consistent basis, which Bosh will look to instill in the current squad. Bosch looks forward to using her creative thinking and passion for excellence to help the runners and coaching staff as they pursue a championship this fall.
