Season Preview 2010-11 Track and Field Season Preview The UMKC track and field program continues to gain strides in The Summit League and the 2010-11 indoor and outdoor season will be no different. The Kangaroos are coming off of a successful 2009-10 campaign, which was highlighted by a trip to the NCAA Outdoor Championship Preliminary Round. “Our student-athletes have worked extremely hard so far this year and this is the best preseason I have had in my four years here at UMKC,” said head coach Shameika McField. “We are constantly looking to compete at the highest level possible and are working to build on last season’s success.” A portion of last year’s success was senior Anthony Boyer earning a trip to the NCAA meet and making it to the semi-final round of the preliminary round. Boyer tallied 34 points and earned four Summit League medals, two gold, one silver and one bronze and the Outdoor Championships. The UMKC track and field team wrapped up the 2010 Summit League Outdoor Championships with one champion in two events, seven medals, 19 top-10 finishes and eight personal records. The men’s team finished fifth overall with 94 points and the women’s team took sixth with 30 points. The men’s squad hadn’t scored that many points at the Outdoor Championships since the 2006 season. At The Summit League Indoor Track and Field Championships, the `Roos finished with one champion, one Championship MVP, two second-place finishes, two third-place finishes, 15 top-eight finishes and seven personal records. Boyer led the UMKC men with three top-four finishes and was named The Summit League Indoor Track and Field Championships Track MVP. The men’s team finished fourth, scoring 80 points, while the women’s team finished seventh with 11 points. “Our goals for this season are real simple, top-conference placement is real important, but the commitment to our student-athletes is our number one priority,” said McField. “We want to get our student-athletes competing at their highest level possible and that is our ultimate goal.” The Kangaroos have five Summit League medal winners and 25 veterans back from last season. But the squad will still be rather young with only six seniors and the addition of 30 newcomers.

Event Breakdown Throws The track and field coaching staff is still working on building up the throws program at UMKC but is off to a great start, returning three medal winners and adding three talented newcomers. “I am excited for this group as a whole, but I am really looking forward to watching our throwers compete, both on the men’s and women’s side,” said McField. “This is the most complete throwing squad that we’ve had in my time here and they have already had so much success.” Max Carroll is back for his sophomore year after being an allSummit League honoree following the outdoor season. As a freshman, he broke the UMKC school record in the javelin at the Emporia State Relays with a mark of 184-11.00 (56.36m) and earned the silver medal in the javelin at The Summit League Championships. “Max will compete some during the indoor season to keep up his strength but we’ll really look for him to shine during the outdoor season in the javelin,” said McField. “He has some great personal goals set for this season and is extremely focused on achieving them all.” Ramon Nelson, also a sophomore this year, led the `Roos in the throwing events as a freshman last year. Nelson ranks fifth all-time in UMKC school history in the shot put for indoor. He scored 11 points in three events for the men’s team at The Summit League Outdoor Championships, earning a bronze medal in the shot put with a personal best throw of 5007.50 (15.43m). Nelson finished fifth in the discus throw and sixth in the hammer throw at The League Championships. New to the squad this season is Kris Leverette and he will be paired with Nelson training wise. Leverette was a two-time MVP of field events as a junior and senior and was the Region 5 discus champion as a sophomore at Marietta High School in Georgia. “Ramon is as strong as ever and we look for him to build on his success from last year,” said McField. “We also have the addition of Kris to the men’s squad, and he and Ramon have been pushing each during preseason training. They both work extremely hard and I think they’ll be tough once The Summit League Championship rolls around.”

Season Preview UMKC is happy to have back Kimoya Harriott, who suffered a season-ending injury last year. Harriott competed at the NCAA Mideast Regional Championships in 2009 in the women’s javelin and took 20th with a throw of 127-08 (38.92m). She was the 2009 Summit League Outdoor Champion in the javelin with a mark of 144-08 (44.10m) and broke the Eccles Coliseum record at Southern Utah University at the League Championships. She earned all-Summit League honors and posted two regional qualifying marks during the outdoor season. Harriott is the current UMKC school record holder in the javelin, with a mark of 146-09 (44.72m). “Kimoya is working hard and I expect her to be in full force this indoor and outdoor season,” said McField. “She suffered an injury last year and has come back better than ever. She is extremely focused on what her goals are and how to achieve them.” Susan Brueggemann is also back for the `Roos and looks to compete at an even higher level. Brueggemann scored points at both the indoor and outdoor Summit League Championships and is the UMKC outdoor school record holder in the shot put with a mark of 42-04.25 (12.91m). “Susan has grown tremendously over the summer and is only getting better,” said McField. The Kangaroos welcome Roxanne Koke and Denise Banda to round out the 2010-11 throwing roster. Koke earned all-district and all-conference honors as a junior and served as team captain as a senior at Waynesville High School. She is also the school record holder in the shot put and discus. “I am super excited about Roxanne because she is a raw talent, who has the ability to tap into that as a freshman,” said McField. “She has room for improvement and this year will give her a chance to really come into her own, work on her technique and be successful at the collegiate level.” Banda, a transfer from Coffeyville C.C., holds the school record in the hammer throw at 153-0 and was a second team all-American in the hammer at Coffeyville. “Denise is a great addition to this group, as she has competed and seen success at the collegiate level,” said McField.

Distance/Middle Distance The `Roos have some great experience coming back in the distance and middle distance events but they also have the most newcomers, welcoming 15 student-athletes with 10 of those

being freshmen. Cosmas Ayabei is the top returner for the `Roos and is coming off a successful 2010 cross country season. Ayabei competed at the NCAA Midwest Regional and placed 27th at the meet. He was named The Summit League Cross Country Athlete of the Year and MVP of the Championships. Ayabei is also the UMKC school record holder in the men’s 8K and 10K. Last year during the indoor season, Ayabei broke the UMKC school record in the 3,000 meters, posted the second fastest time in the 5,000 meters and fourth fastest time in the mile in school history. He earned all-Summit League honors and a silver medal at The Summit League Championship in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 14:57.26. Ayabei also won the bronze medal at The League Championship in the 3,000-meter run with a time of 8:33.31. “Cosmas is just such a great athlete and he is a dream to coach,” said McField. “He believes in the UMKC track and field/ cross country programs and in coach (Clif ) Mitchell, so we expect big things from him at both the indoor and outdoor Summit League Championships.” Alex Pena-Lopez was an all-Summit League indoor selection last season and scored points at The Summit League Indoor Championship in the 800-meter run with a season-best time of 1:54.47. In 2009, Pena-Lopez was the runner-up in the 800-meter run at The Summit League Indoor Championships, clocking in at 1:54.97, earning all-Summit League honors. “Alex has had a great offseason, as he is training really hard this year,” said McField. “I am really excited for all that could be in store for him this year if he keeps his focus and continues to stay disciplined in his training.” Aubrey Frederking and Sarah Meiners are the veterans on the women’s side. Frederking was an all-Summit League selection last indoor season and posted the second fastest time in school history in the 1,000 meters and third fastest time in the mile. During the outdoor season, she broke the UMKC school record in the 1,500-meter run at the Arkansas Twilight with a personal record of 4:41.10 and scored points The Summit League Championships. Frederking is also coming off of a great 2010

Jumps

A great addition to this group is Jylian Jaloma, a transfer from Butler Community College. Jaloma had a great cross country season for the `Roos this year, earning second team all-Summit League honors. She finished 10th at The Summit League Cross Country Championships, with the personal best time of 21:41.5 in the women’s 6K. Jaloma now ranks as UMKC’s third best performer in school history in the 6K. “We are so excited about Aubrey, Sarah and Jylian, as they push each other but it is friendly competition,” said McField. “This women’s distance group has a great dynamic and they truly care about bringing the squad together and seeing everyone succeed.” Newcomers to this mid-distance group are Redell Frazier Jr. on the men’s side and Autumn Scott and Angel Gannon on the women’s side. Frazier Jr. comes to UMKC from Johnson County C.C., where he clocked in at 1:54.00 for a personal record in the 800 meters. “We are really excited about the addition of Redell, who has been a great motivator for the squad in the fall,” said McField. “He has a high level of confidence and will be a great mid-distance student-athlete for us.” Scott competed for the University of South Alabama and Gannon was a four-time all-conference and all-district honoree at Kearney Senior High School. “Autumn is great transfer student-athlete and we expect here to be strong in the 800 meters. She is as strong as ever and we predict her running well as an individual and scoring some points for us come Summit League Championship time,” said McField. “Angel is young but had a great freshman cross country season that we’ll look to carry over to the track and field season. She was running fast at a very young age, so we’ll look for her training to mature her speed.”

The jumpers have key student-athletes returning on both the men’s and women’s sides. The men will be led by Oscar Emegano and D.C. Okonta and the women are led by Katherine Williams, Shakira Thomas and Kim Nagy. Emegano led the team in the long jump and was an all-Summit League selection during the indoor season last year. He earned a bronze medal at The Summit League Championship and scored points in the triple jump. Okonta was an all-Summit League selection during the indoor season and earned the silver medal at The Summit League Indoor Championship in the triple jump with a personal best mark of 48-06.25 (14.79m). He was also a medalist at the Outdoor Summit League Championships, earning bronze medals in both the long and triple jumps. “We have a great duo back in Oscar and D.C., as they have both jumped in finals and know what it takes to compete at a high level,” said McField. “We’ll look to them both to lead the squad by example during both the indoor and outdoor seasons.” “We also have veteran jumpers in Katherine Williams, Shakira Thomas and Kim Nagy, who have the ability to lead the squad,” said McField. Williams scored points for the women’s team at The Summit League Championships with a fifth place finish in the triple jump and a personal record of 37-03.25 (11.36m). Thomas scored points at both the indoor and outdoor Summit League Championships, while Nagy was the top high jumper for the `Roos last season.

Sprints The Kangaroos will have to fill the void of Boyer, who was a Summit League Champion in three events last season and the back-to-back Summit League Championship MVP. But UMKC will look to press on with six veterans and four talented newcomers. Kevin Venerable, one-of-six seniors on the 2010-11 squad, earned all-Summit League honors for outdoor last season. Venerable is a two-time Outdoor Summit League medalist for the men’s 4x100-meter relay. He ran the second leg last season for The Summit League silver medal and was a member of the squad that won the gold medal in 2009 and competed at the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships. “Kevin is the only squad member back from our Summit

Season Preview League Championship 4x100-meter relay squad and I’ll look for him to be a major leader this season,” said McField. “Our top newcomers this year are Hartzell Gray, Andre Jones and Danielle Olive. They have had great workouts so far, are executing properly, are asking lots of questions and growing every day.” Gray was a three time all-state honoree as a member of the 4x100-meter relay squad and also earned allstate honors as a junior in the 4x200-meter relay, 200 meters and 100 meters for Lee’s Summit West High School.

The Schedule The Kangaroos have 17 meets slated for this season, 10 during the indoor season and seven during the outdoor season. UMKC’s schedule is highlighted by The Summit League Indoor and Outdoor Championships and the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field Championships. “Our schedule is always based around us performing at our best at The League and NCAA Championship meets,” said McField. “We’ll begin the season in December, which gives our student-athletes a chance to test where they are at prior to heading off for semester break. Once the studentathletes return in January, that’s when the real work will begin, goals will be set and we’ll get ready for the Championship portion of our schedule.” The Kangaroos will compete in two meets during the month of December, beginning the season with the Bob Timmons Challenge on Dec. 4 in Lawrence, Kan. The `Roos will then head to Ames, Iowa, for the Iowa State Invitational on Dec. 10, prior to heading home for the holidays. UMKC has a packed three weeks in January with four meets scheduled.

The Evolution of the Kangaroo

Chancellor Leo E. Morton

hen choosing a mascot, the discussion usually starts with three main categories - predatory animals, historical or regional figures, or humans that represent power and strength - and ends with a collection of the usual suspects. Thanks to Walt Disney, The Kansas City Star and the Kansas City Zoo, UMKC has a very unique mascot, but how exactly does the Kangaroo fit? As it turns out, quite well.

Leo E. Morton Chancellor

In 1936, the issue of a mascot was first brought up by the editors of The University - the campus newspaper for Kansas City University. Although there were no organized intercollegiate athletics teams at the time, the newspaper staff felt that KCU’s debate team - and more importantly the school itself - deserved a unique identity. During that same year, the Kansas City Zoo purchased a pair of baby Kangaroos, and The Kansas City Star lit the fire with an article titled “Kangaroo May Go To KCU ... Student Editors Believe University Should Have A Symbol.” The first Others on campus were not as enthusiastic. The editors of The Crataegus - the University’s yearbook - thought that a Kangaroo incarnation of Kasey was not an appropriate symbol for KCU. A proposed feature page Kangaroo in the 1936-37 yearbook for the Kangaroo emblem was deleted, was inked by Marceline, sparking a tremendous amount of debate. Mo., native Walt Disney,

As the debate wore on, interest from the campus community began and featured to wane. It looked as if KCU would not adopt a mascot after all. But the KCU mascot in 1937, two events would combine to indelibly link the Kangaroo alongside a with the University and give the mascot a name.

somewhat more famous rodent.

During the student government elections in the spring semester, the CO-OP Party adopted the Kangaroo as its official mascot, naming him Kasey. With a landslide victory in April behind the slogan “Kasey fits KC”, the first part of the foundation was laid. During the same month the first issue of KCU’s humor magazine - The Kangaroo - was published, with a kangaroo gracing the cover. Six months later, a kangaroo made another appearance on the cover of The Kangaroo, and although it wasn’t a solo appearance, it put a quick end to the debate over whether a kangaroo was an appropriate mascot for KCU. Missouri native and famed cartoonist Walt Disney provided the artwork for the cover illustration, which featured Mickey Mouse shaking hands with Kasey Kangaroo. In a matter of a few years, The Kangaroo thrived while The Crataegus floundered, with the latter eventually folding. The Kangaroo became the University’s yearbook and the Kangaroo became the official mascot of Kansas City University. Kasey has undergone several changes over the years, with the most recent metamorphosis led by UMKC Director of Athletics Tim Hall. With the help of local advertising agency Bernstein-Rein, UMKC developed a set of new athletics marks in the spring of 2008. After a community vote, the new Kangaroo logo was unveiled in May. With its aggressive snarl, the new Kangaroo capitalizes on UMKC’s mission to be an outstanding urban university while keeping mindful of the traditions established in 1937.

eo E. Morton was named Chancellor of the University of Missouri-Kansas City on December 15, 2008. Prior to assuming the Chancellorship, Leo was employed by Aquila, Inc, joining the firm in January 1994 as vice president, performance management.

im Hall was named the UMKC Director of Athletics on Feb. 14, 2007. In this role, he serves as a member of the Chancellor’s executive cabinet, and is responsible for leading the strategic direction in growing the university’s intercollegiate athletics program. In Hall’s first three full years in Kansas City, UMKC has enjoyed a record amount of success on the fields of competition, in the classroom, and in the Kansas City community. These successes were reinforced by the NCAA in 2009, as UMKC Athletics received full NCAA certification without condition. The certification showed that the University is operating its athletics program in substantial conformity with operating principles adopted by the NCAA Division I membership and is valid for the next 10 years. From an athletics standpoint, Hall led the ‘Roos to their most successful year since 2000 in 2008-09 and the ‘Roos continued excelling in 2009-10. UMKC claimed a pair of Summit League titles in men’s soccer and men’s tennis, while also earning the runner-up nod in both men’s and women’s golf, which led to a record 2009 finish in the annual Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup. During the 2010 campaign, the men’s tennis team won The Summit League regular season title and the men’s golf program was the league runner-up. This helped the men’s teams finish fourth in the Dr. William Steinbrecher Men’s All Sports Award standings, the best showing since 2001-02. Overall, the ‘Roos moved up to sixth place in the Commissioner’s Cup standings, which was the highest finish since 2006-07. In the classroom, the department posted a 3.10 cumulative grade point as of the spring 2010 semester and eight programs finished with at least a 3.0 GPA. Additionally, UMKC finished with a 958.7 APR average and the volleyball team received the NCAA public recognition award.

Internally, Hall has been hard at work to align the department with peer institutions and the NCAA. He restructured the rules compliance office to be more in line with NCAA rules and the Student-Athlete Support Services Office to better assist and prepare Kangaroo studentathletes. He also continues to work with new UMKC Chancellor Leo Morton to craft the athletics’ strategic plan in concert with the University’s new strategic goals. From a fund raising standpoint, Kangaroo Athletics have never been better. In 2008, UMKC received a $5 million pledge from the Stanley H. Durwood Foundation, the largest gift in Athletics’ and the fourth-largest gift in University history. The resulting Stanley H. Durwood Soccer Stadium and Recreational Field opened in August 2009 and is among the premier soccer facilities in the Midwest region. Additional facility improvements have included revamped locker rooms and lounges for men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball and the retro-fitting of Old Swinney Gymnasium, which provides the basketball and volleyball programs with a first-class practice facility. The project was funded through $500,000 of private support. Hall also was instrumental in the renovation of the Swinney Recreation Center with the installation of new seatback bleachers and new scoreboards, which enhances the venue for the men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball programs. The renovation allows the men’s basketball squad to move its games back on campus full-time for the 2010-11 season. Hall is also in the midst of a partnership with the Kansas City Parks Department to build a sports complex that will house both indoor and outdoor tennis courts, a 200-meter indoor track and a softball field. On an annual basis, the Kangaroo Athletics Scholarship Fund, which was rebranded prior to the 2007-08 school year, has posted three straight years of 50 percent growth, while donor participation is up over 200 percent. He also increased the department’s total sponsorships and gift-in-kind assistance to over $1.5 million and cash and trade sponsorships have increased 265 percent since 2008. Additionally, Hall has increased UMKC’s external support by 45 percent over fiscal year 2009 from $1.6 to $2.4 million. Hall also has also reconnected with over 200 former ‘Roos with the former student-athlete association. In the community, Hall has been active in an effort to get more community leaders involved in the Athletics Department. Hall restructured the Athletics Foundation Board in 2009 by adding representatives from a number of Kansas City-based businesses such as Cerner, Kansas City Southern Railways, Lathrop Gage LLC, and Mark One Electric. New partnerships have come quickly to Kangaroo Athletics, including television (Niles Media Group) and radio (810 WHB) agreements that ensure a continued presence within the Kansas City region. Renowned local advertising firm Bernstein-Rein produced a redesigned athletics logo and graphics set, while additional contractual agreements have also been signed with adidas, Truman Medical Cen-

He increased fundraising by more than 33 percent, helped secure the largest gift to date in the history of KSU athletics, a $1.53 million gift for the baseball stadium renovation, and raised more than $16.1 million. Prior to moving back to Ohio, Hall worked at Eastern Kentucky University from 2000-03. Hall began work as the collegiate Director for Development in 2000 before being promoted to the Director of Major Gifts and Special Projects in 2001. In this capacity, he raised over $4.6 million for the university, including $1.3 million for athletics. Hall also served as the Assistant Director of Development at Saint Xavier University in Chicago from September 1999 through October 2000. At Saint Xavier, Hall managed fundraising efforts for a $13 million Athletic and Convention Center. He also managed the President’s Club, and developed and implemented the Cougar Club, an athletics affinity group. Before moving to Chicago, Hall worked at Youngstown State University as an Assistant Director of Athletic Development from 1997-99. In this role, he helped the university complete its successful $26 million capital campaign. Hall also began his collegiate career at YSU, serving in the school’s athletic marketing and promotions office. Hall earned his bachelor’s degree in sports administration from the University of Toledo in 1994. He then received his master’s degree in sports administration from Kent State University in 1998. Hall and his wife, Beth, have four children, Aidan, Aislin, Donovan and Landon, and they reside in Kansas City, Mo.

UMKC Athletic Facilities & Departments Swinney Recreation Center

Durwood Soccer Stadium and Recreational Field

The home of UMKC Athletics, Swinney Recreation Center is also one of the finest fitness centers in all of Kansas City. Created through a $14.5 million addition to the old Swinney Gymnasium, the center includes five basketball courts, four racquet ball courts, a 25-meter indoor/outdoor pool and three exercise rooms - two weight rooms and a cardio room.

Durwood Soccer Stadium and Recreational Field will serve as the official home of the Kangaroos and will provide student-athletes, students and community groups with one of the top soccer facilities in The Summit League and the Midwest. The $9 million addition adds to the growing residential feel of the UMKC campus. The gift from the Durwood Foundation and its trustees to construct this stadium is another in their long history of supporting a variety of UMKC initiatives. Durwood will provide seating for 850 fans and a separate addition will host locker rooms, offices and concession areas. Stanley H. Durwood was one of the University’s and the athletic program’s most ardent supporters. His affiliation with UMKC began when NCAA Division I participation was a pipe dream.

A lifetime resident of Kansas City and a graduate of Paseo High School, Swyden was honored in 1993 with the Golden Torch Award, one of the highest honors bestowed by UMKC upon an individual. For the 2009-10 season, the UMKC Athletics Department is teaming up with the UMKC School of Medicine Sports Medicine Fellowship Program, under the direction of Dr. Russell D. White. The Fellowship Program will provide health care for the student-athletes by staffing the training room 3-4 days per week and will also be available to see student-athletes in need of urgent care. Members of the Sports Medicine Fellowship Program will also be present at all major home sporting events and tournaments, in addition to providing assistance with any specific athletic events. Dr. George D. Harris, Dr. Meg Gibson, Dr. Billy Irons, Dr. Matt John and Dr. Emily Lott will all be serving the needs of UMKC student-athletes. Dr. Dan Gurley, meanwhile, is entering is eighth year as the Kangaroos primary orthopedic surgeon, and Dr. Grant Smith serves as the team dentist for the Kangaroos.

Kangaroo student-athletes enjoy some of the finest locker room facilities in The Summit League courtesy of a major renovation undertaken prior to the 2007-08 school year. Along with providing each student-athlete their own individual locker space, the facility also features a player’s lounge that includes leather couches and a big screen television. In addition, the lounge is equipped with a computer workstation with a high-speed internet connection.

Old Swinney

Original Old Swinney Gymnasium, affectionately known as “Old Swinney”, which is part of the Swinney Recreation Center received a face lift in the summer of 2010. The renovation transforms the Old Swinney Gymnasium into a modern, collegiate practice facility that will better serve the student body, faculty and staff members and community members, as well as provide outstanding training opportunities for ‘Roo student-athletes. The $500,000 renovation plan calls for new basketball/volleyball court flooring and basketball standards and volleyball nets to be installed in the existing facility. The current skylights in the building will also be altered, which will allow for modified lighting to be put into place. The entire Old Swinney interior will be updated and scoreboards will be installed.

Dutton Brookfield Strength and Conditioning Center The Dutton Brookfield Strength and Conditioning Center at UMKC’s Swinney Recreation Center was officially dedicated on Sept. 22, 2004. Led by Director of Strength, Conditioning and Sports Enhancement Trumain Carroll, the Brookfield Center is designed to help enhance UMKC student-athletes’ levels of performance while significantly reducing the chances for injuries. The benefit of performing structured strength and power training throughout the entire year will give student-athletes the opportunity to reach new levels of physical development. The center contains free weights, plus platforms, benches and machines and the latest cardiovascular equipment. In the summer of 2006, the area purchased the latest Sports Motion system to give student-athletes the video analysis needed to improve their techniques.

he Kangaroo Athletics Scholarship Fund (KASF) supports the studentathletes of UMKC through the offsetting of expenses such as scholarships, travel, recruiting, and equipment. As costs continue to rise, support for our student-athletes through the KASF becomes more crucial as we continue to build an elite Summit League athletics department.

For the 2010-11 academic year, student-athlete scholarship expenses are expected to include: • Tuition (out-of-state): $17,692 • Room and Board: $10,130 • Tuition (in-state): $6,876 • Books and Fees: $1,612 In addition, over the past year it has become extremely difficult for budgets to keep pace with rising travel and food costs. While athletics must be vigilant in cost containment, we must continue to provide for the best possible student-athlete experience. That is where the KASF donors can play such a tremendous role. Donors to the KASF enjoy a number of benefits based on their donor level, including Priority Seating, access to the pre-game Kangaroo Club hospitality parties at men’s basketball games, invitations to a number of events, complimentary media guides and gifts, and exclusive opportunities to meet the studentathletes, staff, coaches, and University leadership.

As The Summit League concludes its third decade as an NCAA Division I athletics conference, the ascending level of performance among the 10 member institutions and over 3,000 student-athletes in 19 championship sports continues. Now in its 29th year, The Summit League is in the midst of a renaissance, both on the playing eld and in the classroom. During the 2009-10 academic year, the League produced a national champion, 11 All-Americans, eight Academic All-Americans and 33 IUPUI’s Chen Ni became The Summit Academic All-District honorees. League’s rst NCAA female national IUPUI’s Chen Ni made history champion, winning the women’s platform at the NCAA Swimming & Diving dive at the 2010 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships and highlighted Championships. the individual accomplishments in 2009-10. The sophomore became The Summit League’s rst female national champion, and fth NCAA titlist overall, when she nished rst in the platform dive. Also garnering national recognition was Oakland men’s basketball player Keith Benson, who received The Summit League’s rst national individual award for basketball performance when he was named the Lou Henson Award winner as the nation’s Mid-Major Player of the Year. The level of performance in men’s basketball continued to rise as The Summit League was one of just six leagues outside of the “power six” conferences to have both of its championship game participants compete with RPI ratings in the top 85. The Summit League had two teams post 25-win seasons, making it one of seven leagues outside of the “power six” and one of 12 overall in Division I to make that claim. Summit League champion Oakland set new standards for season League victories (17), winning percentage (.944) and tied the mark for consecutive League wins (16). The Summit League’s Basketball Championship extended its visibility in 2010, as for the rst time in history all 14 men’s and women’s tournament games were televised, including all seven men’s contests with a national reach via an ESPN platform. Overall attendance in Sioux Falls, S.D., was the second-highest on record and a new women’s quarternal session mark was set with 5,384 spectators. Several other sports also saw records fall during the 2009-10 campaign. In volleyball, North Dakota State set a new mark with its 37th consecutive League win en route to its second straight undefeated season. Additionally, the League set standards for postseason participation in both track & eld, where an all-time best 50 athletes qualied for the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Preliminary Rounds, and women’s basketball, where three teams advanced to postseason play. Academically, six Summit League teams were bestowed with the NCAA Public Recognition Award, an honor given to teams that have a Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR) in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. IPFW led with three teams on the list, including men’s cross country, women’s golf and volleyball, while another trio of teams, UMKC volleyball, North Dakota State women’s golf and Oakland women’s golf, also received accolades. The national reach of The Summit League continues to expand with member institutions selected as hosts for NCAA Championship events, beginning with UMKC serving as a co-host for the 2010 NCAA Volleyball Championship. IUPUI will serve as a co-host for the 2011 Women’s Final Four and the 2015 Men’s Final Four and be the host for both the 2013 and 2017 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships. League members were selected for several NCAA preliminary competitions with Oakland hosting the 2010 Cross Country Great Lakes Regional and 2013 Men’s Basketball First and

The Summit League

Second Rounds and IUPUI serving as co-host for one of the four 2013 Men’s Basketball Regionals. Originally formed in 1982 as the Association of Mid-Continent Universities and later known as the Mid-Continent Conference, The Summit League is in its fourth year of a rebranding that followed its 25th anniversary and coincided with the Summit Plan, a strategic plan that places a renewed emphasis on improving the academic and athletic performances of all league student-athletes. Included in the plan was the league’s new name, the creation of a new image and the addition of three member institutions. The Summit League has a combined enrollment of over 125,000 at 10 member institutions: Centenary College of Louisiana, IPFW (Indiana University-Purdue University-Fort Wayne), IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis), UMKC (University of Missouri-Kansas City), North Dakota State University, Oakland University, Oral Roberts University, South Dakota State University, Southern Utah University and Western Illinois University. In April 2009, the University of South Dakota accepted an invitation to join the league with full membership beginning in 201112 and currently serves as an associate member for swimming and diving. The League has one additional associate member in Eastern Illinois University, which currently competes in swimming and diving and will join in men’s soccer in 2011. These member institutions pride themselves on providing quality athletic, academic and social experiences for their student-athletes. Since its inception in 1982, The Summit League has had several transcendent moments on the national stage. In 1986, Cleveland State upset third-seeded Indiana in the rst round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament on its way to a berth in the Sweet 16. A decade later, Valparaiso captured the nation’s attention when Bryce Drew hit “the shot” to defeat No. 4 seed Mississippi in an NCAA rst-round game and spark its Sweet 16 run. More recently, Oral Roberts’ baseball program nished the 2004 campaign with a national-ranking and became the rst Summit League school to reach an NCAA Super Regional in 2006. Three years later, North Dakota State’s 2009 softball team became the rst League member to win an NCAA regional and advance to the Super Regional round. During the 2008-09 basketball season, South Dakota State’s women’s team was nationally-ranked throughout the year and capped its season with an NCAA Tournament rst round victory. The League has produced ve NCAA champions, four Olympic athletes and several All-Americans in the sports of track and eld, swimming and diving and cross country. Numerous professionals and several draft choices have come directly from The Summit League, including three Major League Baseball rst round picks, a pair of NBA rst rounders and one WNBA selection. Former Summit Leaguers Kevin Duckworth (NBA) and Kevin Seitzer (MLB) each were two-time all-stars during their professional careers. Recent and historical success coupled with an increased growth among its membership base gives The Summit League a promising future on the landscape of college athletics.

RESIDENTIAL LIFE AT UMKC

Student housing at UMKC is about more than just offering you a place to eat and sleep - it’s about your total educational experience.

That’s why all housing is conveniently located on the west side of campus, near the University Center (and cafeteria), Swinney Recreation Center, and within easy walking distance to all other Volker campus buildings. Nearby are the Country Club Plaza and museums, and other local attractions. Downtown Kansas City, Mo., is approximately 10 minutes away by automobile (or bus).

Student Union

Kansas City

Kansas City The $850 million Power & Light District is the largest new development project in the Midwest. Just steps from the Convention Center and a short drive from the Volker Campus, the Power & Light District features eight blocks of dining, nightlife and entertainment venues.

Cowtown Shmowtown Although Kansas City’s reputation outside the Midwest may be that of an agricultural cowtown, its residents know the truth. UMKC is in the middle of it all, with history, culture and entertainment options on all sides and within just a short walk or drive.

Located next to the Power & Light District, the Sprint Center opened in downtown Kansas City in October 2007. The Sprint Center is a state-of-the-art, 18,500-seat arena offering marquee concerts and sporting events. Located in the Sprint Center, the College Basketball Experience celebrates college basketball by placing visitors in electrifying, game-like situations. Home to the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame as well, UMKC had the honor of opening the CBE and held its first practice of the 2007-08 season.

Here’s just a few of the options that students at UMKC have at their disposal. The Legends at Village West boasts 1.1 million square feet of retail space and is home to more than 100 shops and restaurants. This northern shopping mecca is also located by the Kansas Speedway and Community America Ballpark.

Municipal Auditorium has hosted more NCAA Tournament games and more Final Fours than any other venue in the country. The UMKC men’s and women’s basketball teams will also play a doubleheader at this historical venue during the 2010-11 season.

The Kansas Speedway hosts major league racing events like NASCAR’s Nextel and Busch series and Indy Racing League. Community America Ballpark is home to the Kansas City T-Bones and serves as the temporary site for the Kansas City Wizards. The Wizards are currently constructing a new $160 million state-of-the-art stadium at Legends.

Located within a short walk from the Volker Campus, The NelsonAtkins Museum of Art includes works of art from some of the great masters. The lawn of The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art resembles a badminton court with 18-ft.-tall sculptures, titled “Shuttlecocks.”

The Country Club Plaza offers 14 blocks of shopping amid beautiful Spanish architecture, fountains and statues. More than 80 miles of lights outline every building, dome and tower on the Country Club Plaza each holiday season. The Plaza is within a short walking distance from the Volker Campus. Kansas City is known as the City of Fountains with more than 200 fountains on the Plaza and in downtown KC.

Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs, seats more than 79,000 on game day. The Kansas City Royals play in Kauffman Stadium, which just wrapped up a $250 million renovation. Kauffman Stadium’s unique features include a 322-foot-wide water spectacular. The water spectacular is the largest privately funded fountain in the world. Both teams play at the Truman Sports Complex.

The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum chronicles the history and heroes of the Negro Leagues from their founding after the Civil War to their demise in the 1960s. The first professional Negro Leagues were founded in Kansas City in 1920, just two blocks from the museum.

Kangaroos Out In The Community

s a member of the Kansas City community, the UMKC Athletics Department takes great pride in giving back to its neighbors and friends. The Kangaroos outdid themselves during the 2009-10 school year by hosting a plethora of successful events and volunteering their time. Here is a short list of the community service projects that UMKC teams and student-athletes took part in: ► The UMKC Athletics Department assisted students by helping them move their

personal belongings into their new homes as a part of Student Move-In Day 2009. Student-athletes, coaches and administrators from all 16 athletics teams helped their fellow students move into the Oak Street Residence Hall.

► UMKC men’s basketball head coach Matt Brown coached barefoot against Western

Illinois back in January in an effort to collect shoes for the non-profit organization Samaritan’s Feet. Over the past two basketball seasons, UMKC supporters have brought in over 150 pairs of kid shoes for the cause. Coach Brown joined 300 basketball coaches from across the country teaming up to support this initiative.

► UMKC teamed up with The Summit League during the 2009-10 season and participated in The Summit League’s Students Team Up To Fight Hunger (STUFH). The league designated 20 “Food Fight” games during the basketball season as part of a league-wide food drive initiative. The Kangaroos hosted “White Out” night where fans donned white t-shirts and donated over 900 pounds of food! ► UMKC administrators, staff members and student-athletes all partcipated in UMKC’s “Walk A Mile In Her Shoes” event on campus. The event was an International Men’s March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault and Gender Violence. ► The volleyball, women’s basketball and softball teams all participated in Think Pink events to raise breast cancer awareness. The volleyball team wore pink shoelaces, while the women’s basketball joined over 700 other institutions in taking part in the WBCA “Think Pink” week. Softball paired up with Summit League foe South Dakota State in their ongoing tradition, donning commemorative pink uniforms for the final game of the league series between the teams. The softball team also competed in the Missouri Coaches Against Cancer Tournament.

Other events during the 2009-10 year: - Children’s TLC October Pumpkin Patch - Thanksgiving Can Collection for Harvesters - Call-A-Thon - Children’s TLC Groundhog Day Run - UMKC Winter Warm-Up - UMKC Career Services Etiquette Dinner - Relay for Life - UMKC Career Services Mock Interviews - Children’s TLC Duck Race on the Plaza - Blue and Gold Games - CHAMPS Challenge - Toys for Tots Toy Collection - First Downs for Down Syndrome - Go Red With the ROOS & the American Heart Association - Kansas City Head Start Book Drive - Project Perfect – rewarded elementary schools students for grades and attendance - Girls Scouts Fitness Day - Boy Scouts Fill It Up Campaign - Sports Day at Spectrum Station - UMKC’s Hispanic Youth Day - Animal Haven
