EMU finished as conference runner-up during the other four seasons of Linn’s guidance.

In 2012, the men’s team won the MAC Championship meet in Carbondale, Illinois. Jacob Hanson was named the 2012 Most Outstanding Swimmer for the third consecutive season. In addition, Hanson was also named an All-American for the second consecutive season. He currently holds the 100-backstroke, 200backstroke and 200 individual medley MAC records.

The 2014-15 season marks the second year for Matt Bowe as an assistant coach for Eastern Michigan University’s swimming teams.

Prior to joining the staff in Ypsilanti, Bowe spent a short stint as a performance coach at Loughborough University, where he coached the US Open champion in the 200 fly, Tilly Gray.

2014-15 EMU Men’s Swimming & Diving Preview

Eastern Michigan University

Head Coach Peter Linn’s squad returns the vast majority of its 2014 Mid-American Conference Chamionships performers, including all the Eagles named to the All-MAC teams in Cole Bateman, Alex Chan, Mike Fisher, Krzysztof Gilski, Erik Gissen, Andrew Henry, and Brian Moore. Fisher and Gilski will look to remain among the top breaststroke and butterfly competitors in the conference after breaking the EMU records in their 100 and 200-yard events.

10

Fisher was crowned a double MAC champion in the breaststroke events with marks that not only top the Eastern record books but also set the standard for the conference. He broke the 13-year-old 100 breast record with a win in 53.94 before he finished nearly two seconds ahead of the field in the 200 breast in 1:56.82.

Gilski earned a MAC Championship title in the 200 fly in 1:46.01 and finished runnerup in the 100 fly in an EMU record-breaking mark of 48.05 seconds. One more Eagle earned the title of a MAC champion, as Chan continued his stellar rookie season by winning the 3-meter dive with 409.80 points.

With few seniors graduating and 12 freshmen vying for a spot in the water, the Eagles should have a solid group to compete for a MAC Championship title come March.

SPRINTS/MIDDLE DISTANCE FREESTYLE The team has been hit considerably in the 50 free with the graduation of Dexter Foos and Gus Everson, but many Eagles remain as top contenders in the shortest of events. Gissen had strong times last season when he took on the 50 free, with a season-best time of 20.99 in a victory against Oakland, Nov. 9.

Henry and Moore had immense success in both the 100 and 200 free last season, and are primed to keep their dominance among their upcoming competitors.

Moore finished third at the MAC Championships in both events, while Henry was the victor in the 200 free six times during the regular season. Either one could be seen in the events, as the pair of athletes is often called upon to compete in a variety of races throughout the year.

DISTANCE The Green and White has not lost any of its distance swimmers from the 2013-14 campaign, and will look primarily to Kyle Lichtenberg, Franco Petrone, and Marcin Rzyski in the 500, 1000, and 1650 freestyles. Moore should also see some action in the 500 free after finishing fifth in the conference last season, and Sean Tento is expected to compete in distance freestyle events while splitting time with individual medleys.

BUTTERFLY Gilski is undoubtedly the athlete to watch in the butterfly events, but the Eagles also saw impressive performances out of Gissen. Both athletes posted times last season that put them in the all-time top-10 list for EMU in the 100 fly. The pair made the final heat of the 100 fly at the MAC Championships, scoring exceptionally well for the team. Gilski’s compatriot in Rzyski can also be called upon to compete, as he represented the team in the 200 fly at the conference meet, taking third in the consolation final.

BACKSTROKE An admirable freshman season came out of Bateman in the backstroke events, who notched a runner-up finish in the 100 back and third in the 200 back. Bateman won the 100 back six times over the course of the regular season and placed in the top-five in every 200 back effort to go along with four wins. In addition to being a threat in butterfly, Gissen was a also strong performer in backstroke at the MAC Championships, competing in the championship final in both the 100 and 200 back. The Eagles also have senior Nate Schingoethe competing in his final season donning the Green and White, who should provide upperclassman leadership for the backstroke squad.

BREASTSTROKE After winning MAC titles in the 100 and 200 breast while setting EMU and MAC meet records in 2014, Fisher is campaigning for an NCAA Championship appearance to cap off his career as an Eagle. The local product out of Saline, Mich. will race alongside Kyle Aerne during his senior season, who won the consolation final of the 100 breast and went on to appear in the championship final as a freshman. The team will also have Grant Schwarz in his final season of competition as the senior has MAC Championship experience under his belt as well.

INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY Last season, Henry was the top performer for the Eagles in both the 200 and 400 IM, taking third in both at the MAC Championships. The junior will be looked upon to lead the team in the medley event once more, and

could be joined by a number of Eagles. In the 200 IM championship final at the conference meet, Henry swam alongside Bateman while Fisher took fourth in the consolation final. Henry was the lone Eagle in the championship heat for the 400 IM, but distance specialists Lichtenberg and Tento made appearances in the consolation heat.

RELAYS The Eagles should be solid across the board when it comes to the relays, as the squad finished runner-up in three events at the MAC Championships. The Green and White returns its full teams for the 400 medley (Bateman, Fisher, Gissen, Moore) and 800 free (Henry, Gilski, Petrone, Moore) relays, while Henry and Moore will look for two teammates to fill the spots of Everson and Foos in the 400 free relay. The team had some hiccups in the 200-yard relays, taking fifth in the 200 free relay and fourth in the 200 medley relay, but have a deep roster from which to choose a formidable lineup.

DIVING The diving squad returns a wealth of experience from the 2013-14 season. Chan returns to improve on an All-MAC and MAC champion freshman year, while classmate Dan Gironza is also coming off two appearances in the championship finals for the 1-meter and 3-meter springboard. A trio of seniors will provide experience and leadership for the squad in Dakoda Johnson, Sage Stephens, and Matt Ventura, who all appeared at the conference meet last season.

2014-15 EMU Women’s Swimming & Diving Preview The Eagles return the bulk of the team after losing just three seniors to graduation. Dorszewski and Godlewski are back for their senior seasons and will aim to repeat their All-MAC season after earning the honor en route to helping the team finish fourth in the conference with 469 points, Feb. 27-March 1. The team also features a larger roster with nine new additions, five of which are part of the diving program.

Eastern Michigan University

SPRINTS/MIDDLE DISTANCE FREESTYLE Eastern lies in a strong conference for freestyle sprints, but has the luxury of multiple veteran swimmers who can represent the team in the 50 and 100 free. Leading the team for most of the 2013-14 season in the 50 free was Mary Kate MacLean, who recorded the fifth-fastest mark in program history in the championship heat of the 2014 MAC Championships in 23.26 seconds. Alongside MacLean is senior Sara Ghaffari, who holds the fourth-fastest time in EMU laurels at 23.24 seconds, and also competes heavily in the 100 back and 100 fly events. Sophomores Sierra Wagner and Makenzie Garringer were also in the mix in both the 50 and 100 free.

Junior Becca Detro should be a contender in the 100 and 200 free for the Eagles after logging the eighthfastest time of 51.20 seconds in program history in the 100 free, while her mark of 1:49.96 sits at sixth in Eastern’s record books. The Eagles saw its 200 free frontrunner flip between Detro and Grace Van Allen, who earned a spot in EMU’s all-time top-10 list in the 200, 500, and 1650 free during her rookie season. Van Allen swam in the championship heat of the 500 free at the MAC Championships while also competing in the consolation final of the 200 free and finishing 10th in the 1650 free.

DISTANCE In addition to Van Allen in the distance events, the Eagles will also see a lot of the junior/sophomore combination of Audra Burtch and Allison Murslack. Both athletes competed at the MAC Championships in the 500 and 1650 free, and were part of the primary lineup in the 1000 free throughout last year’s competition.

The pair was also called upon to swim the grueling 400 IM last year, with Burtch making the consolation final in a career-best 4:26.29.

BUTTERFLY The reigning MAC champion in the 200 fly returns to the Eagles for one final campaign donning the Green and White, as Jessie Godlewski was dominant in the event last year. Out of 12 performances in the 200 fly, the Apex, N.C. native won 11 times and finished runner-up once. She is also a threat in the 100 fly and 100 back, but is often utilized in the 200 and 400 IM as well. Ghaffari is no stranger to the butterfly events, as she was part of a strong 100 fly lineup that produced four top-16 finishes at the 2014 MAC Championships.

The Eagles saw a fresh talent emerge out of Carly Jackson in both the 100 and 200 fly during her freshman season. Jackson posted the third-fastest times in both events, winning the consolation final of the 100 fly in 55.53 seconds, while her time of 2:00.38 in the 200 fly was good for fourth in the conference.

BACKSTROKE Sophomores Alexis Mitcheltree and Haley Shaw saw the bulk of the action in the backstroke events throughout the 2013-14 campaign. Shaw had a breakthrough performance in the 100 back at the MAC Championships, recording the fourth-fastest time in EMU history in 56.47 seconds. MacLean and Ghaffari also competed in the shorter distance backstroke

2014-15 EMU Women’s Swimming & Diving Preview

event throughout the year, while Mitcheltree was the lead swimmer for the Eagles in the 200 back.

BREASTSTROKE An All-MAC honoree and the EMU 100 breast record holder, Monica Dorszewski remains on the roster for the 2014-15 season, and will look to continue her dominant run in both the 100 and 200 breast. Dorszewski’s time of 1:02.22 in the 100 breast was good for third at the MAC Championships, while her time of 2:15.48 in the 200 breast earned the senior a fourth-place finish and the second spot on EMU’s all-time performance list. The Palatine, Ill. native was the only Eagle to record an NCAA B-cut time in both events, and one other Eagle accomplished the feat in the 100 breast when Genna Worthley won the consolation final in 1:02.48 for the third-fastest time in EMU history.

INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY Though Eastern returns all competitors for the 400 IM in Burtch, Godlewski, and Murslack, the Green and White will look for another swimmer to step up and take the reins behind Godlewski in the 200 IM. Godlewski finished sixth and fifth in the 200 and 400 IM, respectively, at last year’s MAC Championships.

However, with the graduation of Jackie Swartz, who finished 12th at the conference meet in the 200 IM, the Eagles have an open spot for their second scorer in the event.

RELAYS The MAC has been consistently competitive in the relays, and EMU’s lineups have been right in the mix with its highest finishes last year coming from the 400 and 800 free relays. The Eagles took fourth behind Detro, Dorszewski, Godlewski, and Van Allen in the 800 free relay, and also enjoy the benefit of returning Detro, Ghaffari, Godlewski, and MacLean for the 400 free relay in which they placed fifth. In fact, the Eagles return all relay athletes with the exception of Swartz, who competed on the 200 and 400 medley relays as well as the 200 free relay. With the Eagles in close contention, they will look to step up their relay finishes this season.

DIVING With the departure of two-time MAC Most Outstanding Diver Danielle Hulvey, the Eagles have the perfect opportunity for another diver to rise to the top of the conference. The team will be led by a pair of seniors in Lauren Dark and Melynee Saya. Both divers made the championship final of the MAC Championships in the 3-meter dive with Dark taking third ahead of Hulvey, while Saya finished seventh. On the 1-meter springboard, Dark is the only returning representative from the championship final at the conference meet, but Saya was not far behind in scoring with 272.15 points, less than 40 points behind the score of 309.65 that won the overall title for Hulvey. In addition to Dark and Saya, the Green and White has added five divers to the roster for even more added depth on the boards.

Mid-American Conference

EMUEagles.com

Providing leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 65th year of service to the student-athlete.

Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. One of only 11 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in the 65-year history of the league in March of 2009. Steinbrecher came to the MAC after serving six years as the commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference.

The league has grown its commitment to championships by expanding to six its number of neutral site post season events – football (Detroit’s Ford Field), volleyball (SPIRE Academy, Geneva, Ohio), men’s and women’s basketball (Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena), softball (Akron’s Firestone Stadium) and baseball (Avon, Ohio All Pro Freight Stadium).

In 2010, four MAC football programs received bowl invitations and it marked the first time in conference history that the MAC had four or more teams receive bowl invitations in a threeyear consecutive span. In addition, the MAC has sent four or more teams to bowl games in five of the last seven years. The four MAC programs that played in bowl games were: Miami (GoDaddy.com Bowl), Northern Illinois (uDrove Humanitarian Bowl), Toledo (Little Caesars Pizza Bowl) and Ohio (R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl). The MAC record for bowl appearances is five, which happened in consecutive years (2008, 2009) and only three times (2004, 2008, 2009) in conference history. The 2010 season also witnessed Miami win the 2010 Marathon MAC Championship and record the best turnaround in college football with an eight win improvement over the previous season (1-11 in 2009). Northern Illinois entered the Marathon MAC Football Championship ranked No. 23 in the USA Today Coaches Poll and No. 24 in the Associated Press Poll. Two more MAC teams defeated Big Ten opponents during the regular season as Northern Illinois defeated Minnesota, 34-23 in Minneapolis, while Toledo rolled to a 31-20 win at Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind.

n 2010, the University of Akron Men’s Soccer team won its first National Championship by defeating Louisville, 1-0, in the NCAA College Cup. Akron junior defender Kofi Sarkodie was named Player of the Year by Soccer America, and Sarkodie was joined by senior midfielder Anthony Ampaipitakwong and junior striker Darlington Nagbe on Soccer America’s MVP First Team, as Akron’s three honorees were the most by any school. In addition, Nagbe was presented the Hermann Trophy, the most prestigious honor in intercollegiate soccer, as it marked the second consecutive year for a member of the Akron program to be honored with the Hermann Trophy (Teal Bunbury, 2009). History was made in the 2011 Major League Soccer Super Draft as seven members of the Akron’s National Championship Men’s Soccer Team were drafted, including five of the first eight selections in the first round.

This set an MLS draft record for the most first-

round selections from a single school.

In 2010-11 for men’s basketball, the MAC set a conference mark as six programs received invites to postseason tournaments. Akron won the MAC tournament as the No. 6 seed and played Notre Dame in the NCAA tournament. Kent State won the MAC regular season title and represented the conference in the NIT with impressive road wins at St. Mary’s and Fairfield. Buffalo, Ohio and Western Michigan were invited to the CollegeInsider.com tournament, while Miami received an invitation to the College Basketball Invitational.

Three freshmen were named to the Mid-Major Freshman All-America Team—Juwan Howard, Jr. (Western Michigan), Javon McCrea (Buffalo) and Trey Ziegler (Central Michigan), while Kent State junior Justin Green was named MAC Player of the Year and named All-America by three different organizations—named Honorable Mention AllAmerican by the Associated Press, tabbed MidMajor All-America by College Insider.com; and second team Mid-Major All-American by College Hoops.net.

In wrestling, Central Michigan won its tenth consecutive MAC championship, while the MAC sent 23 wrestlers to the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championship as Kent State’s Dustin Kilgore won the NCAA national championship at the 197 weight class. In addition, four grapplers secured All-America honors--Central Michigan’s Scotti Sentes (133), Ben Bennett (174) and Jarod Trice (285), along with Kent State’s Dustin Kilgore (197). Buffalo won its first championship in men’s swimming and diving, while Kent State won its 19th MAC title in men’s golf and received its 24th NCAA appearance. Ball State made its seventh automatic bid to the NCAA Men’s Tennis Tournament.

In baseball, Kent State won the MAC championship and lost to Texas in the NCAA Regional Final.

A total of 17 MAC student-athletes were selected in Major League Baseball’s 2011 Draft—including Kent State LHP Andrew Chafin to the Arizona Diamondbacks as a compensatory first round pick, 43rd overall.

Women’s athletics continued to shine for the MAC this past year. For the first time in MAC history, six women’s basketball programs were invited to postseason tournaments. Bowling Green won the MAC tournament and received the invitation to the NCAA tournament, while four programs were invited to the WNIT—Toledo, Eastern Michigan, Kent State and Central Michigan. In

addition, Buffalo was invited to the Women’s Basketball Invitational.

Toledo’s women’s basketball program won the Women’s NIT, the first post-season championship in school history with wins over Delaware, Auburn, Alabama, Syracuse, Charlotte and USC. In the WNIT Championship game, with a national television audience and sold out Savage Arena, Rocket junior Naama Shafir scored a career-high 40 points in the victory.

History of the MAC Based in Cleveland since July 1999 following a 15-year stay in Toledo, Ohio, the MAC has established historic measurements in both football and men’s and women’s basketball since moving to Northeast Ohio. The MAC was founded as a five-school league on February 24, 1946 in Columbus, Ohio with Ohio, Butler, Cincinnati, Wayne State and Western Reserve admitted as charter members. The Mid-American Conference has 12 full-time schools and a 13th, Temple, and 14th, UMass for football only (beginning in 2012). Comprising the East Division is the University of Akron (joined in 1992), Bowling Green State University (1952), University at Buffalo (1998), Kent State University (1951), Miami University (1947), Ohio University (1946) and Temple University (2007). The West Division members are Ball State University (1973), Central Michigan University (1971), Eastern Michigan University (1971), Northern Illinois University (1975-86, 1997), University of Toledo (1950) and Western Michigan University (1947).

In 1946 men’s basketball was the first competitive sport in the MAC, which now sponsors a total 23 sports. Women’s sports were brought into the conference’s structure in 1980. For men, championships (11) are sponsored in football, basketball, baseball, cross country, soccer, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, golf and tennis. For women, championships (12) are sponsored in basketball, softball, volleyball, cross country, field hockey, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, gymnastics, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and tennis.

Eastern Michigan University Where We’re Located Eastern Michigan University is located in historic Ypsilanti, about 10 miles east of Ann Arbor, 40 miles west of Detroit and just 20 minutes from Detroit Metropolitan Airport. It is an area rich in academic, research, technological and recreational resources. The University also has sites in Livonia, Jackson, Traverse City, Flint, Detroit and Monroe.

EMU’s 800 plus-acre campus of scenic flora and wooded areas includes 18 miles of walkways and jogging trails and has 122 buildings throughout the academic and athletic campuses. Eagle Crest – Eastern Michigan’s conference center, golf course and resort – is located on the banks of nearby Ford Lake.

Ypsilanti plays a leading role in industry and education. The city and the University have forged close ties that have lasted more than 160 years.

What Makes Us Unique

In 1849, the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Michigan formally paved the way for the establishment of Michigan State Normal School, with the exclusive purposes of instructing persons in the art of teaching; providing a good common school education; and giving instruction in the mechanic arts, husbandry, agricultural chemistry and the laws of the United States.

Since its inception, Eastern Michigan, first as a Normal School, then as a College and finally as a University, has grown and developed to respond to the ever-changing needs of society. Over the years, EMU has educated thousands of sons and daughters of Michigan, the nation, and the world.

The university currently serves 23,000 students who are pursuing undergraduate, graduate, specialist, doctoral and certificate degrees in the arts, sciences and professions. In all, more than 200 majors, minors and concentrations are delivered through the University’s Colleges of Arts and Sciences; Business; Education; Health and Human Services; Technology, and its graduate school.

Eastern Michigan’s exceptional faculty, students and alumni include CEOs from major businesses, a National Student Teacher of the Year, National Teacher of the Year, numerous Fulbright Scholars and Milken Family Foundation National Educators award winners, and several Michigan Teachers of the Year.

EMU is regularly recognized by national publications for its excellence, diversity, and commitment to applied education.

Our History

1897: MSNS is the first U.S. teacher’s college to become a four-year institution.

Founded in 1849, when the state of Michigan was just 12 years old, Michigan State Normal School was designated by the state legislature as the first institution to educate teachers to serve the public schools. The University thus began, somewhat humbly, as the sixth teacher education institution in the nation. A campus that today comprises more than 800 acres was once a four-acre plot with one building and two programs of study – a classical course and an English Course.

The school’s name changed several times ­– to Michigan State Normal College in 1899; to Eastern Michigan College in 1956; and finally to Eastern Michigan University in 1959. During its first 100 years, the institution certified thousands of teachers and developed the broad-based curricula that ultimately prepared it for university status.

Within that new university, three colleges emerged: Education, Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School. The University has since expanded three more times, adding the College of Business in 1964, the College of Health and Human Services in 1975, and the College of Technology in 1980. More recently ,Eastern Michigan has developed Extended Programs and numerous community-focused institutes.

The university has enhanced its learning environment through structural initiatives during the past several years. Recent construction includes the Terrestrial and Aquatic Research Facility (1998), the Convocation Center (1998), the Bruce T. Halle Library (1998), the John W. Porter College of Education Building (1999), the Everett L. Marshall College of Health and Human Services Building (2000), the Village residence hall (2001), University House (2003), new Student Center (2006), and the new Science Complex (2010).

Ypsilanti is a city in Washtenaw County with a population of 22,362. Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a FrenchCanadian fur trader from Montreal, a permanent settlement was established on the east side of the Huron River in 1823 by Major Thomas Woodruff.

It was incorporated into the Territory of Michigan as the village Woodruff’s Grove. A separate community a short distance away on the west side of the river was established in 1825 under the name “Ypsilanti”, after Demetrius Ypsilanti, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. Woodruff’s Grove changed its name to Ypsilanti in 1829, and the two communities eventually merged.

Henry Ford and the automotive industry came to Ypsilanti in the 1930s and beautiful Ford Lake was created to generate hydroelectric power for the manufacturing plants. During World War II, Ypsilanti became home to the Willow Run Bomber Plant, a factory that would employ 100,000 workers.

President Susan W. Martin

Eastern Michigan University

Dr. Susan W. Martin EMU President

Entering her seventh year as the president of Eastern Michigan University, Dr. Susan W. Martin has made a significant impact on the campus in her time in Ypsilanti.

Named the 22nd president of EMU May 14, 2008, she is the first female president in EMU’s 165year history. Martin officially took office July 7, 2008.

Martin’s tenure at Eastern has brought unprecedented five-year growth in facilities and record-setting growth in enrollment. During this time, Eastern has also led the state in tuition restraint.

Since joining EMU she has led the institution to enrollment growth, kept tuition, room and board at 0% increase for 2010-11, enhanced the quality of education by investing in hiring new faculty, and enhanced the living and learning facilities by making $210 million in capital improvements to the campus.

Eastern has been a nationally recognized leader in tuition restraint. Over the past five years, Eastern’s has been by far the lowest among the state’s 15 public universities.

This includes the “0, 0, 0” tuition, room and board freeze of 2010-2011, in which

Eastern was one of a handful of universities around the nation to not increase fees.

Additionally, Eastern completed its first comprehensive fundraising campaign a year ahead of schedule. “Invest. Inspire.

The Campaign for Eastern Michigan” surpassed its $50 million goal in the summer of 2012 and reached $56 million.

The highly successful campaign set the tone for future efforts to benefit Eastern students.

“I am thrilled to be chosen for the honor of leading this great University, which has a strong history of excellent education and a bright future,” said Martin.

Rynearson Stadium

84

Rynearson Stadium begins its 45th season as the home venue for the Eastern Michigan University football and track teams in 2012. Opened in 1969, the facility is named for the late Elton J. Rynearson, Sr., who coached football at Eastern Michigan for 28 seasons.

The first game played in Rynearson Stadium was Sept. 27, 1969, when EMU upset the University of Akron, 10-3. The stadium was dedicated a few weeks later on Oct. 25, 1969, when EMU lost, 17-7, to the University of Tampa.

More than two million fans have seen EMU play in Rynearson. In 22 of the 44 years, Eastern has averaged more than 11,000 fans per home date. The 1995 season proved to be the record-breaking year for Rynearson Stadium attendance. A single-game record crowd of 25,009 was on hand, Sept. 16, 1996, to watch the Eagles dismantle UNLV, 51-6. That fourgame ‘95 season also proved to be a best for season average attendance of 22,602.

Rynearson Stadium is set up for a capacity of 30,200 with the ability to expand for larger crowds.

The stadium originally held 15,500, but additional seating and lighting were added in 1974 when the now-defunct Detroit Wheels used the facility for their World Football League games. The additional seating in 1974 brought the capacity to 22,227. During the summer of 1992, seating was added on the east side to bring capacity to the current total of 30,200.

Built for an approximate cost of $1.4 million in 1969, Rynearson Stadium underwent a major renovation project in 1991 and 1992, which included installation of a StadiaTurf field, a new team building, an additional 10,000-plus seats, new bathroom facilities and concession stands, an expanded press box and state-of-the-art scoreboard were added at a cost of approximately $13 million.

The playing field was originally natural grass. A sand-filled artificial surface, StadiaTurf, was installed in 1991. The StadiaTurf surface was replaced in May 1998, by an AstroTurf artificial surface. A FieldTurf surface was installed in the summer of 2005.

The press box is located on the top of the westside stands. A second level was added as part of the renovations in 1991. The working media utilize the lower level while the top level is the University hospitality area for the stadium.

The EMU locker room is located in the team building at the north end of the stadium. The visitor’s locker room is located below the stands on the west side of the stadium.

Convocation Center EMUEagles.com

The Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center, in its 15th season as the crown jewel of EMU athletics, opened up a new era of excitement on the west campus of EMU in the fall of 1998.

The state-of-the-art, $29-million facility is the result of a decade-long effort to improve and upgrade University facilities and followed closely the opening of the $41-million Bruce T. Halle Library on the main campus.

Construction of the Convocation Center began in the spring of 1997 and culminated with its dedication game, Dec. 9, 1998, with a men’s basketball game against the University of Michigan in front of a crowd of 7,647.

Since its opening, the Convocation Center has served as home court for the Eagles’ men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams. The EMU wrestling team and women’s gymnastics team have held several meets on the arena floor.

The Convocation Center has also served as the site for four Mid-American Conference Championships. EMU hosted the 2000 and 2007 MAC Gymnastics Championship and the 2002 and 2009 MAC Wrestling Championship. The arena has been the host site for seven first-round MAC Women’s Basketball Tournament games, four first-round MAC Volleyball Tournament games and four first-round game for the men’s basketball squad. The building also played the host for the EMU women’s basketball team’s upset of the University of Michigan in the First Round of the 2011 Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT).

The Convocation Center also played host to the 2008 WNBA’s Eastern Conference Finals and the WNBA Championship, as the Detroit Shock utilized the facility for the playoffs.

Along with their commitment to EMU Athletics, the Convocation Center staff has brought some of the finest entertainers in the world to Ypsilanti. The Convo has hosted concerts by the Black Crowes, Indigo Girls, Godsmack, Smashmouth, Ludacris, Bob Dillion, Toby Keith, Matchbox Twenty, Goo Goo Dolls, Dave Chapelle, John Mayer and Jay-Z. The Convocation Center is also the site for EMU’s spring and winter commencement ceremonies. Among other events that have taken

place include numerous youth sporting competitions, high school commencements, trade shows, job fairs, conventions, charity and community awareness events as well as a circus.

The 204,316-square-foot facility features three user-friendly levels — arena, concourse and office — and three seating configurations to maximize crowd capacity and space usage. The largest seating capacity is for center-stage entertainment activities, with 9,500 seats available. The capacity for basketball games is approximately 8,800.

EMU’s athletic administration is located on the office level, along with offices for the EMU football, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball coaching staffs. The EMU Athletic Media Relations Office, as well as offices for the Convocation Center staff, are located on the office level.

The main athletic training room and office space for EMU’s sports medicine staff is located on the arena level as are strength and conditioning facilities and equipment rooms.

In the summer of 2012, the Convocation Center received a major face-lift, as a YESCO four-sided ceiling hung display sign, featuring video boards on all four sides, was installed above center court in the arena.

The fixture features four 10MM full color video boards, with each board’s active area measuring 15.7-foot wide by 11.5-foot tall. In addition, the system also features three ribbon displays on the west and east sides and under the scoreboard.

The arena will also showcase an integrated light emitting diode (LED) courtside scorer’s table.

There is no doubt that the Convocation Center has become a special place for athletic events, but there is a warm spot in the hearts of Eastern Michigan fans for Bowen Field House, the home for men’s and women’s basketball games for 43 years.

Bowen was built in 1955 at a cost of $1.25 million. The facility has 79,529 square feet of floor space and includes an eight-laps-to-the-mile indoor track. An additional 9,394 square feet, along with new permanent seating, a new court and upgrading of the facility was completed in 1982 at a cost of $506,938.

Bowen still serves as home to EMU’s track teams and also serves as a practice facility for many of Eastern’s varsity squads.

EMU catch up to other schools.”

“Everything has gone very smoothly,” said Mark Monahan, director of the EMU Convocation Center, which oversees the indoor practice facility. “Since January, it has been booked all the time. We have had a ton of youth sports use it.”

The indoor practice facility, which cost $3.9 million to build, was inflated during February 2010. The facility is a permanent airsupported structure that is 410 feet long, 210 feet wide, and 75 feet tall; and includes a welcome center (1,100 square feet) and convertible space (86,000 square feet) that can be configured for a football field, an international soccer field, four youth soccer fields or two youth baseball/softball fields.

A full-time supervisor and students staff the facility. The facility, located at 150 Westview Drive, is open Monday-Friday, from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Youth soccer, Little League baseball, high school football teams, EMU club sports, recreational groups and six intercollegiate teams have used the facility since it opened last year, said Monahan. The six intercollegiate sports that use the facility are football, baseball, softball, women’s soccer, and men’s and women’s golf.

“It’s been fantastic for our league,” said Dave York, soccer manager for Total Sports Complex. “We are able to incorporate more Ann Arbor-based clubs so they don’t have to drive so far to play.”

Total Sports Complex runs youth soccer programs — that includes approximately 700 players — in southeastern Michigan and Ohio.

Monahan said there has been one challenge for the facility.

“Parking has been an issue because business is so good,” he said.

The facility has 100 spaces, but the volume associated with its use has led Monahan to request additional parking. Currently, Mo-

The EMU Identity Eastern Eagles Fight Song

A Look Back at EMU’s Logos

“Eastern Eagles, hats off to you!

Fight, fight, fight for ole EMU. Look to the sky, the Eagles will fly, the bravest we’ll defy. ... Rah,rah, rah!”

1929-1991

“Hold that line for ole Green and White.

Sons and daughters show your might.

So, FIGHT, FIGHT! for ole EMU and vic-tor-y!”

1991-1994

EMUEagles.com

Since the 1991 season, Eastern Michigan University athletic teams have gone by the nickname “Eagles.”

The Eagles name was officially adopted on May 22, 1991, when the EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the existing Huron nickname and logo with the new one.

EMU originally went by the nicknames “Normalites,”“Men from Ypsi”and various other titles through the years before “Hurons” was adopted in 1929.

The “Hurons” first came into being as the result of a contest sponsored by the Men’s Union in 1929. On Oct. 31 of that year, a three-person committee composed of Dr. Clyde Ford, Dr. Elmer Lyman and Professor Bert Peet, selected the name “Hurons” from the many entries in the contest.

The name was submitted by two students, Gretchen Borst and George Hanner.

Hanner was working at the Huron Hotel at the time of the contest and was no doubt as much influenced by his place of employment as by the Huron Indian tribe.

The runner-up name in that contest was Pioneers.

EMU began investigating the appropriateness of its Huron Indian logo after the Michigan Department of Civil Rights issued a report in October 1988 suggesting that all schools using such logos drop them. The report indicated that the use of Native American names, logos and mascots for athletic teams promoted racial stereotypes. At that time, four colleges, 62 high schools and 33 junior high/middle schools in Michigan used Native American logos or names.

The EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the Huron name with Eagles, taken from three recommendations from a committee charged with supplying a new nickname. The other two final names submitted were Green Hornets and Express.

EMU Alma Mater Eastern, sacred Alma Mater to your

name we shall be true.

Ever marching on to victory, we’ll stand by to see you through, Softly floating on the breeze,

verdant green with white of snow, This our banner we will carry in our

hearts whe’er we go.

1995-2001

Go Green, let’s get some more.

Raise a cheer for old Green and White.

Let’s show them we came here to fight.

We’ll always fight for old EMU. Come on and let’s go Green!

You can become a booster if you provide benefits to prospects, student-athletes, their relatives or friends and any of the following statements are true: • The relationship between the athlete (or parents of the athlete) and the individual providing the benefits developed as a result of the athlete's participation in athletics or their reputation as an athlete; • The relationship began only after the athlete become a prospect; • The relationship began only after the athlete had achieved notoriety due to his or her athletic ability or reputation; • The pattern of benefits increased after the athlete attained notoriety as a talented athlete.

ONCE A BOOSTER ALWAYS A BOOSTER. Once an individual is identified as a booster, the person retains that identity forever! This is true even if the individual no longer contributes to, or is involved with, EMU's athletics program.

WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE? A prospective student-athlete (prospect) is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade, students enrolled in preparatory schools and two-year colleges are also considered prospects. An individual remains a prospect even after he/she signs a National Letter of Intent.

WHAT IS AN EXTRA BENEFIT? An extra benefit is any special arrangement by a EMU employee or booster to provide a prospect, student-athlete or their relatives or friends a benefit not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of impermissible benefits include, but are not limited to, the following: • Gifts of cash, clothing, equipment or any other tangible item; • A special discount, payment arrangement or credit on any purchase or service; • Loan of money or co-signing of loans; • A vehicle, use of a vehicle, or any transportation expenses; • Free or reduced-cost services, purchases or rentals; • Entertainment on- or off-campus; or • Free or reduced-cost rent or housing.

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES? EMU is responsible for the actions of its boosters. If a booster provides an impermissible benefit to a prospect, student-athlete, their relatives or friends, EMU may be subject to penalties from the NCAA and Mid-American Conference.

When a violation occurs, regardless of intention, it can: • Jeopardize the eligibility of prospective and current student-athletes; • Result in the EMU athletics program being penalized by the NCAA and/or the MidAmerican Conference; and • Cause you to lose benefits or privileges associated with the athletics department (i.e., booster club membership, ticket privileges).

QUESTIONS? The above information is a brief overview of compliance and rules pertaining to boosters and their interactions with prospective studentathletes.

If you have any questions about any NCAA, MAC or institutional rules, please contact the Christopher Hoppe at 734.487.3263 or choppe3@emich.edu. For more information on compliance and boosters, please visit the Office of Athletic Compliance's website at:

Student-Athlete Support Services

Academic, personal and professional support are essential to college success.

At EMU, Student-Athlete Support Services (SASS) helps student-athletes reach their full potential.

Our philosophy is to offer an academic support program, integrated with the University, that will assist all student-athletes with their transition into college.

This all-encompassing support continues throughout each student-athlete’s collegiate career, until the day he or she receives a diploma, lands a job or enters graduate school.

Being proactive rather than reactive, our staff does not wait for an academic crisis to occur. We gather important background information and build an academic profile on each student-athlete, assessing his or her needs in advance.

Services provided through SASS include the following: programs that focus on student-athletes’ special needs, monitoring academic performance, providing learning assistance, assisting with registration procedures, assisting in monitoring athletic eligibility, providing priority registration and making sure that athletes are advised about current NCAA, MAC and university rules and regulations.

Freshmen and transfer student-athletes encounter a major transition when making the switch from high school or community college to a university.

These students, while adjusting to their new routines, receive extra attention and support.

College is not easy. But with hard work and dedication from both the studentathlete and the support staff, the student-athlete can have a successful college experience.

The success of Eastern’s student-athletes hinges on their willingness to seek assistance from SASS as well as other university student services. SASS staff members continually refer student-athletes to the Admissions Office, Academic Advising Center, Career Services Center, Health Services, the Records Office, Financial Aid and The Holman Learning Center. Faculty members also provide assistance to student-athletes through advising in course selection and providing additional help with courses when requested.

Athletic Training and Sports Medicine

The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine Department has a long history and reputation for excellence in the health care of student-athletes and the education of athletic training students. Founding practitioners Gary Strickland, Ron Venis and Dr. Wally Roeser envisioned a goal of first-class prevention, management and rehabilitation of athletic injuries for all student-athletes. Although the department continues to grow, its primary mission remains the same. The student-athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics receive comprehensive health care from an expansive sports medicine team.

The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine staff is led by Dr. Tara MasterHunter, Dr. Zoe Foster, Dr. David Alvarez, Dr. George Pujalte, Dr. Wally Roeser, Dr. Bruce Miller, Dr. Don Wurtzel and head athletic trainer Steve Nordwall. Additionally, the staff consists of two primary care sports medicine fellows, three full-time staff athletic trainers, two full-time athletic training clinical educators, five graduate assistant athletic trainers and the team dentist. Our sports medicine staff works in conjunction with various medical professionals within the community who provide nutritional, dental, vision and other specialized services for our student-athletes.

At Eastern Michigan University, the philosophy of the Sports Medicine staff is two-fold: To provide a high standard of medical care through effective preventive and management programs, and to facilitate an effective post-injury rehabilitation process for a safe return to competition. In all cases, the ultimate well-being of each student-athlete is considered our number one priority, not only while they compete at Eastern Michigan University, but during their lifetime as well.

The Sports Medicine staff operates out of three campus athletic training facilities in the Convocation Center, Bowen Field House and the Rynearson Stadium team building.

Sports Performance/Strength and Conditioning

Our Sports Performance Program applies a complete approach to scientifically and practically progress each individual athlete. Our purpose is to improve all components that will aid in achieving maximal athletic performance while reducing the occurrence of injury. We incorporate athletic based, free weight, multi-joint, and multi-directional movements which vary from a diverse collection of strength and conditioning disciplines to prepare each athlete for the general and specific demands of their sport. Standards that will be implemented at all times are: Integrity, Attention to Detail, Quality before Quantity, and Execution before Innovation.

Assuming quality thought and effort have been put into a sports performance program, all else being equal, the program feels that these three components are usually separating an elite level program from the average.

Incorporating Daily Competitions – The ability for athletes to compete in an every day setting is critical to the success of team and individual sports. Anything from team relay’s, to 1 on 1 tug of wars, to using a dumbbell weight heavier than the previous week. I simply make the statement to my teams, “WIN THE DAY.” Work harder – beat your last weeks sets/reps/weight/time, COMPETE! There is competitive nature in all mankind. Sometimes it takes a little extra effort on the coaching end to see it. Fill your team with competitors and your program will take care of itself.

Physical and Mental Sport Transfer – Training to the specifics of the sport, and style that the head coaches are teaching is an essential way to succeed at any level. Find out what the sport coaches are looking to achieve and speak their same language. You are an addition to their staff, hop on board and cater your philosophy to their needs. Giving each athlete specific examples of on field/on court experiences where success can either be earned or an opportunity can be lost. Being able to make athlete’s understand the importance of mental toughness that is needed in the weight room and how it transfers over to their sport.

The pain, the physical and mental struggles they endure in each training session is setting them up for success for their competitive season. Fight for every rep just as you would for any rebound, blocked shot, interception, or stolen base.

Make references back to their closest contests that might have been decided by one play – (or one rep).

Positive Influential Environment – Do athletes leave the weight room looking to return for more or dreading the next time they have to mope through one of the most silent hours of their day? Each session, from the minute the first athlete walks in, to the last grueling minute they are dragging out, fill the room with ENERGY!!! Push them through their toughest moments and coach every rep. Show each and every athlete that you care about their progress. Stay vocal, provide positive feedback as well as constructive criticism, play that latest hip-hop track and find a way to create a positive training environment.

Eastern Michigan University

Eagles Pride provides vital financial support to more than 550 student-athletes at Eastern Michigan University as they strive for excellence on the court and in the classroom. Nearly 1,000 donors generously supported our outstanding scholar-athletes each year.

Established in 1994, Eagles Pride (formerly the EMU Athletic Club) raises funds in three key areas for EMU's 21 varsity athletic teams: annual-use operating funds, endowment, and facility related projects.

Today, annual-use giving is the most critical area of support needed by the Athletic Department. These contributions directly support the operating budgets of our teams and help provide the most basic needs to our coaches and student-athletes, including comprehensive national recruiting efforts, out of region travel to maintain nationally competitive schedules, equipment such as uniforms, balls, nets, bats, and much more.

Gifts to any of our teams, or to the Eagles Pride Fund (which will be used for the most urgent needs of the athletic department), are an investment in the future leaders of the state of Michigan. Join Eagles Pride today and make a difference for EMU Athletics.
