EQUESTRIAN & SOFTBALL SCOREBOARDS

6

In 2012, Fresno State added new scoreboards at two of its athletic venues - Bulldog Diamond and the Student Horse Center. The new scoreboard at the Bulldog Diamond came as a result of a planned gift to the Fresno State softball program from Vonnie Fogard, a long-time season ticket holder and member of the Bulldog Softball Diamond Club. The new Daktronics LED matrix color scoreboard replaces the old matrix board that was first installed when Bulldog Diamond was built in 1996. Meanwhile at the Student Horse Center, the scoreboard is the first to ever be installed at an NCEA (National Collegiate Equestrian Association) Equestrian venue. The project was spearheaded by the Saddle Club, the equestrian team booster club, who raised all funding exclusively through private funds. The electronic scoreboard is a 5’ x 12’ Daktronics LED.

CROSS COUNTRY FACILITIES

GENERAL

Scenic Woodward Park, located in north Fresno, has played host to 14 NCAA Regional Cross Country Championships since the tournament’s inaugural year of 1968. The park most recently hosted the 2004 NCAA Western Region Championship and the 2006 WAC Championships. For the past three decades, the park has not only been utilized as the base for all of Fresno State’s home meets, but has quickly become one of the most well-traveled cross country courses in the state. Woodward Park has hosted more major cross country competitions than any other site on the West Coast, including high school and junior college championship meets. A mild rolling terrain, Woodward Park is home to over seven miles of grass and dirt trails. In addition to being a perfect practice facility, the park is also contains several race courses of varying lengths, including 5k, 4 mile, 5 mile and 10k courses. All of the courses cover the same area of the park, with the first mile identical for all courses, making it a great facility for both competitors and spectators. At all levels, Woodward Park has become an important developmental cross country course. The courses have remained the same through the years, allowing for consistent times and records. Warmerdam Field has been playing host to Fresno State outdoor home meets since its construction in 1976. The nine-lane, 400-meter oncampus facility is named after Cornelius “Dutch” Warmerdam, the former Fresno State head coach and world record holder in the pole vault. The first-ever dual meet held at Warmerdam was on April 23, 1977, when Fresno State hosted California. Most recently, Warmerdam Field hosted the 2007 WAC Outdoor Track and Field Championships. In 2008, the Save Mart Center on the Fresno State campus became home to one of the only indoor track facilities in California. A donation by Frank Arnold in honor of his late wife made the construction of the indoor track possible. The Fred and Madeleine Arnold Memorial Track was designed by the Tartan Company and debuted at the 2008 Run for the Dream Indoor Invitational. The facility has been host to youth, high school, collegiate and professional competitions.

2011 SEASON REVIEW.........................................................

The Fresno State men’s cross country season was highlighted by two second-team All-Conference selections and a fourthplace finish at the 2011 WAC Championships under fourth year coach Sean McManus. The Bulldogs were led by senior Eric Battles and junior Carson Keller, who both earned the all-conference nods after finishing in 13th and 14th-place, respectively. Battles took 13th with a time of 26:33, while Keller finished with a time of 26:24 to claim 14th at the WAC Championships in Honolulu, Hawai’i. The men’s team excelled in the classroom as well with five student-athletes earning 2011 Academic All-WAC honors. Honorees included; Battles, Keller, Olivier Bernard, Kevin Poythress and Paul Zwama. The team was also recognized as an USATFCCA All-Academic Team. The season began at the Nevada Twilight 6K with all seven runners finishing 18th or better in route to earning a secondplace finish at the meet. Battles led the pack with a scorching time of 19:54 and a second-place finish individually. The following Tuesday, Battles was honored with the WAC Men’s Cross Country Athlete of the Week for his performance. Keller placed right behind Battles in fifth-place with a time of 20:00. The team accumulated 47 points on the day, just 16 points shy of first-place. The team then traveled to Sacramento State for the Hornet Jamboree 4M and placed second overall as a team for the second consecutive week. This time it was Zwama who led the Bulldogs, he completed the race in seventh-place individ-

Zwama led the team for the second week in a row with a time of 24:46 which was good for 27th individually. Battles placed directly behind at 28th with a time of 24:47 and Keller finished in 60th with a time of 25:24. The Bulldogs’ next challenge would be the Notre Dame Invitational 8K, traveling to South Bend, Ind. for the third-straight year. Battles led the team, placing 148th individually with a time of 26:02. After receiving a week off from the team’s longest trip and most challenging event, the ’Dogs headed to Santa Clara for the Bronco Invitational for a final tune-up before the conference championships. Zwama once again led Fresno State individually with a time of 24:38, which helped boast the team to a 11th-place finish collectively. The ’Dogs would go on to the WAC Championships the following week and take fourth-place, it would be the last time the team competed as a conference member before heading to the Mountain West.

FOOTB CROSS C

2011 SEASON REVIEW Youth served as the catalyst for the ’Dogs success in 2011 as coach Sean McManus had four underclassmen compete in the NCAA West Regionals out of the team’s seven qualifiers. Fresno State finished in 17th-place at the NCAA Regionals in Palo Alto, Calif. against strong competition proving the ’Dogs were on the rise. Among the standout Bulldogs was freshman Lyndsie Etherton, who was awarded WAC Freshman of the Year and first-team All-Conference accolades after the WAC Championships in Honolulu, Hawai’i. She went on to set the third fastest time ever recorded by a Bulldog at the NCAA Regionals in the 6K with a time of 21:16. The cross country team also set records inside the classroom as six members were 2011 Academic All-WAC honorees, the most the program had seen in eight years. Honorees included, Saylah Barserian, Stevie Brumwell, Pamela Cruz, Kristen Galvez, Marritjte Molenhuis and Ann Poythress. The team was also recognized as an USATFCCCA All-Academic Team. The season began with the Nevada Chase 4K as the team took thirdplace. Poythress led the team with a time of 19:03 and a third-place finish individually, while Etherton came in at 10th-place with a time of 19:35 in her first collegiate run. Next up for the ’Dogs would be the Hornet Jamboree 5K. Etherton paced the ’Dogs this time with a 13th-place finish, timing in at 18:10. Poythress would follow her past the finish line in 14th-place clocking in at 18:12. The team placed fourth in the event with 91 points. Fresno State’s third weekend of competition would split up the women’s team into two separate events. Seven were chosen to compete

in the Stanford 6K, while the rest of the team traveled to the Roadrunner 5K. At the Stanford 6K Etherton timed 21:39 for a 28th-place finish and Poythress followed with a time of 21:46, good for 35th. At the Roadrunner event, Brumwell shined and placed first overall individually, clocking in at 18:56, while Alyson De La Rose finished the race in fourth with a time of 19:45. The following week would mark the longest journey the team would encounter during the season traveling to South Bend, Ind. for the Notre Dame Invitational. The team would finish in 26th-place versus some of the strongest competition the nation had to offer. The final tune-up before the WAC Championships was the Bronco Invitational in Santa Clara, Calif. The team would place eighth overall behind Etherton’s team- leading 17:35 mark for 14th-place. Poythress trailed behind Etherton and led, Molenhuis, Meagan Paracholski, Carina Mendoza, Galvez and Barserian. At the team’s final WAC Championship before heading to the Mountain West the team finished in fourth-place and qualified for the NCAA West Regionals. Etherton led the women’s team in the 5K finishing seventh with a time of 18:51.3. The ’Dogs concluded their season at the NCAA West Regionals in impressive fashion as they bettered their seated position heading into the race, finishing 17th overall. Etherton yet again led the team as a freshman clocking a time of 21:16. Poythress and Paracholski would round out the top-three finishers for Fresno State, who all were competing in their first collegiate season.

Additionally, Fresno State studentathletes have advanced to post-season competition in the sports of football, men’s basketball and equestrian. The success of Bulldog studentathletes led Fresno State to three Western Athletic Conference Commissioner’s Cups in a five-year span (2007-08, 2008-09 & 2011-12). Additionally, Sports Illustrated’s SI.com ranked Fresno State the nation’s 18th most accomplished NCAA Division I athletics program for 2007-08. Prior to his arrival in Fresno in July of 2005, Boeh spent the previous 10 years as the Director of Athletics at Ohio University, where he led the program to exceptional levels in numerous categories and earning numerous conference championships.

Three women’s sports programs were initiated during Boeh’s tenure, and in 2004 The Chronicle of Higher Education reported that Ohio ranked second nationally among all NCAA I-A institutions relative to the equity of men’s and women’s sport program expenditures. Additionally, numerous women’s facilities were constructed; sports budgets were restructured and decision-making procedures were reorganized to establish what Boeh refers to as an “authentic gender-neutral environment.” Annual fundraising totals rose more than 500 percent and Ohio Athletics concluded the University’s Bicentennial Capital Campaign by exceeding its $10 million departmental goal.

Ladwig led the search for the addition of a living four-legged mascot to the Bulldog family, Victor E. Bulldog. People around the world curious about the Bulldogs will continue to log onto a constantly updating Gobulldogs.com website with expanded content, video and increased participatory site interaction. Fresno State Athletics Communications took the lead nationally in developing a paperless media guide in 2009. Environmental awareness, cost containment, and the ability to provide instant information to the media are several factors in the implementation of this paperless delivery system. With a vast and varied career, Ladwig came to Fresno State after serving as the Assistant Athletics Director for Creative Services at Ohio University. At Ohio University, he was charged with ensuring an effective, consistent and progressive approach from game-day activities to marketing to image enhancement. Ohio saw a record-breaking sellout crowd at Peden Stadium when the Bobcats defeated Pittsburgh on ESPN in their 2005 home opener.

From Network Television in Los Angeles to the slopes of the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan to documentary work in Southeast Asia, his departments have grewn considerably under Ladwig’s direction.
