MISSISSIPPI STATE TRACK & FIELD MIKE SANDERS TRACK COMPLEX

On Friday, April 10, 2015, the Mississippi State University track was named the Mike Sanders Track Complex after former track standout Michael W. Sanders.

Over the past several years, the track stadium at MSU has seen many enhancements. A brick grandstand was added in 2013 and holds about 3,000 people.

MSU played host to the 2015 SEC Outdoor Track and Field Championships on May 14-16 at the newly-dedicated Mike Sanders Track Complex. Also during the 2015 season, MSU hosted the Border Clash and the Jace LaCoste Invitational.

Carl Maddox Track/Infield Work was completed on MSU’s $3.2-million renovation to the Carl Maddox Track at W.O. Spencer Stadium in 2011 in time for several MSU home meets during that spring, including the SEC/Big 10 Challenge in March.

The state-of-the-art facility features nine lines, a steeplechase water jump and high jump, pole vault and long/triple jump areas, in addition to a javelin runway and shot put, hammer and discus throw rings.

W.O. Spencer Stadium The dedication of the W.O. Spencer Track Stadium took place on Nov. 13, 1982. Named after two-time Olympian and former MSU track and field athlete W.O. Spencer. His generous donations gave the MSU track program a grandstand that seated 3,500 fans.

Spencer lettered four years in track and three in cross country under former coach E.C. “Billy” Hayes. During his time on the track and field team, he served as the 1922 season captain and was the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association mile champion in 1921 and 1922.

In the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, Spencer placed first in the mile relay team and finished third in the steeplechase in the 1928 games in Amsterdam. After his competition year, Spencer went on to become the MSU track and field coach from 1936-1947, minus four years while serving on active military duty.

Spencer was installed in the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame in Jackson in 1968 and in 1971 was inducted into the MSU Sports Hall of Fame.

MISSISSIPPI STATE TRACK & FIELD LARRY H. TEMPLETON ATHLETIC ACADEMIC CENTER

Larry H. Templeton

Dedicated on November 1, 2008, the Templeton Athletic Academic Center was a welcome addition to the Bulldog athletic program. The $10 million facility is named for former MSU Director of Athletics Larry Templeton.

The facility is an addition to two existing facilities in the athletic wing of the MSU campus – the Shira Complex and the Holliman Athletic Center. It is situated on the south side of those two facilities, and across the street from the Bryan Athletic Administration Building.

The 34,000 square-foot building serves the entire athletic department, houses the Athletic Academics offices and staff, and includes individual computer rooms, tutor work areas, a large open study area and a 300-seat dining facility with a fully-functioning kitchen.

Templeton, now Athletic Director Emeritus, served 22 years as Director of Athletics and during his tenure helped position MSU Athletics as an innovative, progressive program, with equality in sports for women, new and renovated facilities and keen fiscal management.

During the 1990s almost every sport came away with a best-ever finish. Achievements included six football bowl games, men’s basketball’s trip to the 1996 NCAA Final Four, three baseball trips to the NCAA College World Series, five Southeastern Conference championships and participation in the NCAA Championships by sport teams 29 times.

MISSISSIPPI STATE TRACK & FIELD MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY

Mississippi State is a comprehensive doctoral-degree-granting institution offering a diverse student body a wide range of opportunities and challenges for learning and growth.

The largest university in the Magnolia State, MSU has a statewide enrollment of more than 21,000 students. and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award baccalaureate, masters, specialists and doctorate degrees.

Established in 1878 as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Mississippi, the university has traditional strengths in engineering and scientific agriculture but has evolved into a comprehensive institution with a diverse array of programs in teaching, research and service.

The University began as The Agricultural and Mechanical College of the State of Mississippi, one of the national Land-Grant Colleges established after Congress had passed the Morrill Act in 1862. It was created by the Mississippi Legislature on February 28, 1878, to fulfill the mission of offering training in “agriculture, horticulture and the mechanical arts . . . without excluding other scientific and classical studies, including military tactics.”

The College received its first students in the fall of 1880 in the presidency of Confederate General Stephen D. Lee. In 1887 Congress passed the Hatch Act, which provided for the establishment of the Agricultural Experiment Station in 1888. Two other pieces of federal legislation provided funds for extending the mission of the College: in 1914, the Smith-Lever Act called for “instruction in practical agriculture and home economics to persons not attendant or resident,” thus creating the state-wide effort which led to Extension offices in every county in the State; and, in 1917, the Smith-Hughes Act provided for the training of teachers in vocational education.

By 1932, when the Legislature renamed the College as Mississippi State College, it consisted of the Agricultural Experiment Station (1887), the College of Engineering (1902), the College of Agriculture (1903), the School of Industrial Pedagogy (1909), the School of General Science (1911), the College of Business and Industry (1915), the

6

Mississippi Agricultural Extension Service (1915), and the Division of Continuing Education, (1919). Further, in 1926 the College had received its first accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

By 1958, when the Legislature again renamed the College, as Mississippi State University, the Office of Graduate Studies had been organized (1936), doctoral degree programs had begun (1951), the School of Forest Resources had been established (1954), and the College of Arts and Sciences had been created (1956). The College of Architecture admitted its first students in 1973.

The College of Veterinary Medicine admitted its first class in 1977, and the School of Accountancy was established in 1979.

MISSISSIPPI STATE TRACK & FIELD DR. MARK E. KEENUM - UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT

Dr. Mark Everett Keenum became Mississippi State’s 19th president Jan. 5, 2009, following a distinguished public service career.

Now in his 10th year of tenure, Dr. Keenum has guided Mississippi State to unprecedented heights.

The university has experienced record enrollment growth to nearly 22,000 students, and a new all-time record is expected this fall when final enrollment numbers are announced. Mississippi State has awarded more than 4,000 degrees at all levels for seven straight years, and the university is ranked by SmartAsset as the state’s Best Value College with graduates earning an impressive average starting salary of $47,900 – the highest in the state. The Chronicle of Higher Education recently designated Mississippi State as a “Great College To Work For” after receiving top ratings from employees on workforce practices and policies.

The campus has expanded and improved on Dr. Keenum’s watch. Mississippi State has completed or initiated capital improvements totaling more than $1 billion since 2009. Chief among those projects has been The Mill at MSU – a $40-million, state-of-the-art conference and meeting complex. The Old Main Academic Center, a new $41-million classroom building and multi-level parking garage, opened in August 2017. A $60-million project featuring two new residence halls and Nusz Hall, which houses the G.V. “Sonny” Montgomery Center for America’s Veterans, opened the previous fall. A $10-million, fourth-floor expansion of Mitchell Memorial Library to house the Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library and the Frank and Virginia Williams Collection of Lincolniana celebrated its official opening in November 2017. In March 2018, the university and its partner, Memphis-based EdR Collegiate Housing, broke ground on the innovative $67-million College View development. The first-of-itskind project for any Mississippi university combines student housing with a mix of retail, commercial, and restaurant space.

A $55-million expansion and renovation of Dudy Noble Field/Polk-Dement Stadium – home to one of the most storied college baseball programs in America – is also nearing completion for the 2019 season. The first phase of the project added the largest video board in the nation to the “Carnegie Hall of College Baseball.” The second phase includes the Left Field Lofts and Rooftop Club that will provide fans with unforgettable game day memories. This major investment will significantly enhance the Dudy Noble fan experience – already described by many as one of the most unique in college sports today.

New construction projects launching over the next two years include a new Science and Engineering Complex, Music Building, and the completion of an Animal and Dairy Science/Poultry Science Complex for the Division of Agriculture, Forestry and Veterinary Medicine. Additionally, the university is developing a comprehensive plan to build additional teaching and research lab space to meet growing demand, and investing in campus infrastructure, including new parking facilities, roadways, and technology.

Fundraising has reached all-time record levels in recent years. MSU’s current Infinite Impact capital campaign reached its initial goal three years ahead of schedule. Due to that unprecedented success, the university announced a new goal – $1 billion by 2020 – the largest campaign goal ever for an educational institution in Mississippi. During his tenure, Dr. Keenum has been instrumental in expanding the MSU Promise Program, which provides need-based scholarship assistance to Mississippi students whose families have limited financial means.

Dr. Keenum is immediate past president of the Southeastern Conference.

During his two-year term, he led the SEC Executive Committee, and he continues to serve on the SEC’s Content Committee Board of Directors that oversees the highly successful ESPN-SEC Network. He also represents the SEC as a member of the

College Football Playoff’s (CFP) Board of Managers.

In 2018, he was elected to serve a six-year term on the Board of Trustees of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, which is the second-oldest state department of archives and history in the country. A comprehensive historical agency founded in 1902, MDAH collects, preserves, and provides access to the archival resources of the state; administers museums and historic sites, including the new Museum of Mississippi History and the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum; and oversees statewide programs for historic preservation, government records management, and publications.

Dr. Keenum travels frequently to Washington, D.C., meeting with Congressional leaders and federal agency heads to pursue research opportunities and broaden the university’s influence on the national level. He has also worked closely with state leaders in Jackson in support of higher education in Mississippi.

Mississippi State plays an integral role in economic development locally, statewide, and across the region. Its impact is further felt nationally and internationally through unique collaborative partnerships with peer institutions, business and industry, government agencies, and leading non-governmental organizations. Dr. Keenum leads these efforts because he understands the positive impact the nation’s major research universities can have in the diverse communities they serve. Mississippi State is ranked by the National Science Foundation as a “Top 100” research institution, and it’s annual research and development expenditures have exceeded $239 million. Most recently, MSU R&D expenditures accounted for more than half of all expenditures in the state. This research activity is playing an ever-increasing role in the state’s overall economic development efforts.

A graduate of Mississippi State with degrees in agricultural economics, Dr. Keenum’s interest in international food security has strengthened the university’s contributions to global economic sustainability. In 2014, he was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Foundation for Food and Agricultural Research by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Thomas J. Vilsack and now serves as chairman. That same year along with other university presidents, he signed the Presidents’ Commitment to Food and Nutrition Security at the United Nations in New York City. This marks the first time universities around the world began to share a collective focus on ending food insecurity.

Dr. Keenum’s passion for international engagement and transformative research and service has positioned Mississippi State as a leader in addressing global food security and poverty, among other critical issues. In 2014 and again in 2016, he was invited to address the United Nations in New York about the crucial roles public research universities play as the global community works to address critical challenges for a growing population.

In 2018, President Donald J. Trump appointed Dr. Keenum chairman of the Board for International Food and Agricultural Development (BIFAD). BIFAD was created in 1975 under Title XII (Famine Prevention and Freedom from Hunger) of the Foreign Assistance Act. Its mission is to draw on higher education’s scientific knowledge and expertise in global food security and world hunger to advise U.S. international assistance efforts.

Dr. Keenum began his career at MSU as a faculty member with the Extension Service and the Department of Agricultural Economics. He went on to serve as chief of staff to U.S. Senator Thad Cochran in Washington, D.C. and was Under Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture prior to returning home to Mississippi State.

A graduate of Corinth High School, Dr. Keenum earned an Associate in Arts degree from Northeast Mississippi Community College in Booneville and was a member of the Northeast Tigers football team. He is married to the former Rhonda Newman of Booneville, also an MSU graduate. They have four children: Rett, Mary Phillips, Katie and Torie.

MISSISSIPPI STATE TRACK & FIELD JOHN COHEN - DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS When John Cohen was named Mississippi State University’s 17th director of athletics on November 4, 2016, he wasted little time putting his stamp on the department. Since that time, the former MSU head baseball coach and two-time Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year has overseen the hiring of seven coaches, while 21 teams have advanced to postseason.

During Cohen’s short tenure as director of athletics, the athletic department has enjoyed historic success. A record 12 MSU teams advanced to the postseason during the 2017-18 campaign, with seven sports concluding play in the Top 25 and four reaching the Top 10. Under Cohen’s watch, State was the only school in the nation who won a bowl game and reached an NCAA Final Four – men’s or women’s – and the College World Series.

MSU claimed multiple SEC championships in a single athletic year for the first time since 1996. Matt Roberts, the SEC Coach of the Year, guided the men’s tennis team to its first SEC Tournament championship since 1996. Vic Schaefer, the 2018 National Coach of the Year, led the women’s basketball program to its first SEC regular season title with a perfect 30-0 regular season and a second-straight NCAA national championship game appearance.

Baseball completed one of the most remarkable turnarounds in SEC history, reaching its 10th College World Series and finishing third nationally. The Diamond Dawgs were ranked as high as No. 4 nationally in the final polls, representing the third-highest finish in program history. Meanwhile, the men’s track and field program tallied its highest NCAA Outdoor Championships point total since 1982 to claim 10th.

As a result of the Bulldogs’ unprecedented athletic success, CBS Sports named MSU the 14th-best athletics program in the country and fourth overall in the SEC for 2017-18. MSU also placed 42nd among the nation’s Division I schools in the final Learfield Director’s Cup standings, eclipsing the department’s previous best of 44th in 2015-16. The top three Director’s Cup finishes in school history have occurred in the last three years.

Success carried into the classroom as Bulldog student-athletes generated a school-record 3.08 cumulative GPA for the combined 2017-18 fall and spring semesters. After already producing a school-record fall GPA of 3.15, MSU student-athletes followed that up with a spring GPA of 3.01, the highest spring GPA on record.

“It was a memorable year to be a Bulldog,” Cohen said. “I am very proud of our teams, coaches and student-athletes for their collective efforts in setting the highest of standards not only in their sports but also in the classroom and community.”

Since becoming Athletic Director, Cohen has been the driving force for numerous state-of-the-art facility projects on campus, including the new $55 million Dudy Noble Field, which opens in full capacity in the spring of 2019. The project has drawn rave reviews and will feature the Left Field Lofts, a revolutionary college baseball experience with luxury two-bedroom suites offering exquisite views of the new ballpark.

Cohen approved construction of a new $3.6 million football gameday home locker room and recruiting center inside the north end of Davis Wade Stadium. The 11,100 square-foot locker room, which opens in September 2018, includes custom-built player lockers, separate coaches and staff locker rooms, an expansive athletic training room as well as an equipment room.

In addition, the Templeton Athletic Academic Center underwent a renovation in the summer of 2018 with modern wall graphics and displays.

Cohen has been instrumental in enhancing the gameday experience for Bulldog fans. In the summer of 2018, MSU announced significant price decreases on all food and beverage at concessions for all home venues beginning with the 2018-19 athletic year. State also unveiled a football season ticket price reduction in several sections of Davis Wade Stadium. New LED videoboard displays were installed at the MSU Soccer Field and Newell-Grissom Building in the spring of 2018.

Cohen, who spent more than two decades coaching college baseball, was named MSU’s head baseball coach in July of 2008. Nine years later, Cohen’s official role in administration began when he assumed the role of associate athletic director in addition to head baseball coach. The following November, he took charge of an athletic department that has since achieved new heights in athletic, academic, facility, and fundraising achievement.

Success shouldn’t come as a surprise as it was never far removed from him during his 12-year run as a head coach in the SEC. His teams have been successful both on the field and in the classroom.

At MSU, he led the Bulldogs to a College World Series finals appearance, an SEC regular season championship and an SEC Tournament championship. In the classroom upon his arrival in 2009, 133 players were selected to the SEC Academic Honor Roll, including three straight SEC Scholar Athlete of the Year winners from 2013-15.

“I’m fortunate to know our MSU coaches as friends and colleagues, and to know many of our athletes in all sports,” Cohen said. “While baseball has been a huge part of my life, my passion for seeing MSU athletics thrive extends to all sports. I’m grateful to Dr. Keenum and the MSU Family for allowing me to embrace these new opportunities and responsibilities.”

As a baseball player at MSU, Cohen was a key player on the Bulldogs’ 1989 SEC championship team and 1990 College World Series team. He graduated from MSU with a degree in English in 1990 and received a master’s degree in sports management from the University of Missouri in 1994.

Following a six-year stint with Missouri as a graduate assistant and assistant coach, Cohen was the head coach at Northwestern State University from 1998-2001. Cohen spent two seasons as an assistant baseball coach at the University of Florida before becoming the head coach at the University of Kentucky in 2004, a position he held for five seasons before returning to his alma mater.

While winning 284 games as a head coach at MSU, Cohen demonstrated a keen ability to develop players and coaches. During his tenure, 138 MSU baseball players were selected in the Major League Baseball Draft. Nine of his former Bulldogs have reached the Major Leagues, including Dakota Hudson (Cardinals) in July 2018. His influence can be seen throughout the SEC as four of his former assistants are now or have been head coaches — Brad Bohannon (Alabama), Gary Henderson (Kentucky/Mississippi State), Nick Mingione (Kentucky) and Butch Thompson (Auburn).

Cohen is the only coach in SEC history to win an SEC championship, SEC tournament championship, and advance to the College World Series both as a player and head coach. His 2013 Bulldog club advanced to the CWS championship series for the first time in MSU history. Cohen also had the privilege of being a part of a College World Series as a player, head coach and now athletic director when the Diamond Dawgs reached Omaha in June 2018. His 2012 club produced an SEC record-tying eight Major Leaguers.

Cohen and his wife, Nelle, are active members of the Starkville community. The couple has two children, Jordan and Avery.

Chris Woods was named the interim head coach of Mississippi State’s track and field program on Sept. 20, 2018 after five seasons as a sprinters and relays coach for both the men and women at MSU. In his time as an assistant, Woods coached Bulldog athletes to 17 All-American selections and two SEC championships. His student-athletes hold 40 times in the MSU record books. In 2018 alone, Woods’ athletes put 15 new marks among the top five in MSU history.

Four of the top five times in both the men’s and women’s indoor 4x400m relay came under his watch. In the men’s indoor 800m, the only time among the top five that he did not coach is his own set in 2008, which is still the fourth-fastest in school history.

Woods’ athletes hold four school records. In 2018, he led Ro’Derick Spears to a school-record 13.65 in the outdoor 110m hurdles. Spears also joined Herbert Wise III, Willie-Lionel Reed and Charles Brockman III to break the school record in the outdoor shuttle hurdle relay twice that year. He also coached the 400m leg of the women’s indoor distance medley relay that set the MSU record in 2017 and the women’s indoor 4x400m relay team that broke that record in 2015.

Woods competed as a Middle Distance athlete for the Maroon and White from 2005-08. As a student athlete, Woods garnered two-time All-American honors and four-time All-SEC accolades.

Before coming to MSU, Woods served as head coach for the men’s and women’s cross country and track and field teams at Claflin University in Orangeburg, S.C. Prior to his time with Claflin, Woods was instrumental in the success of

Houston Franks enters his eighth year as head cross country coach after being elevated to the position in 2011. The Tupelo native has been at Mississippi State since 2004 when he returned as an assistant coach for track and field – his current position.

An accomplished distance runner for the Maroon and White from 1994-98, Franks has been a fundamental part of the recent success of the MSU cross country and distance programs.

MSU Cross Country Head Coach In 2016, MSU recorded its most successful season in school history, finishing fourth at the SEC Championships – the third consecutive year inside the Top 5. From there, MSU claimed its first-ever NCAA regional crown before finishing 15th at the NCAA Championships, a program best.

Franks was also instrumental in Rhianwedd Price-Weimer earning All-American honors again after finishing 32nd at the NCAAs. The 2016 success came after the team posted a 17th-place finish at the NCAAs and a program-best second-place run at the SECs in 2015 behind the efforts of Marta Freitas, who finished ninth overall to earn All-SEC accolades.

After winning her national title, Freitas went on represent Portugal in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 2017, under Franks’ tutelage, Freitas qualified for the World Championships and was also a 2018 European Championships finalist.

During the 2014 campaign, Franks coached Price-Weimer to All-American accolades after she finished 24th at the NCAA Championships. Price was the first athlete under Franks to receive All-American honors and the second female in school history. The women’s team finished sixth at the NCAA South

Regionals that year, with four Bulldogs earning All-Region status.

In 2012, Franks guided the men’s cross country team to a Top-5 finish at the NCAA South Regional, tying a program-best finish.

Franks helped the women’s cross country earn fifth-place finishes at both the 2010 SEC Championships and the NCAA South Regional, with the men finishing seventh and 10th, respectively. That season saw Renee Masterson and Haley Greenwell earn All-SEC and All-Region honors, while Adam Lenz earned all-conference accolades on the men’s side.

MSU Track & Field Assistant Coach In 2018, Franks coached MSU standout Rhianwedd Price-Weimer to a fourth-place finish in the mile at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Also in 2018, under Franks’ tutelage, 2016 1500m Olympian Marta Freitas broke the Portuguese national record in the mile (4:22.45).

Coming off the best women’s track and field season in program history, Franks coached Price-Weimer to one of the best seasons in school history, where she became Franks’ first NCAA Champion by capturing the 1500m crown at the NCAA Track and Field Outdoor Championships.

Freitas would give Franks his second-straight 1500m national champion in 2016, when she crossed the finish in 4:09.53, edging out Stanford’s Elise Cranny, who crossed in 4:09.54.

In addition, Franks coached two other Bulldogs to the 2015 NCAA Championships including Freitas (1500m) and Cornelia Griesche (3000m steeplechase), who set the school record in the steeplechase at the NCAA East Preliminaries to qualify for nationals with a time of 9:58.06. Also, that season, Damian Roszko clocked the second-fastest 10,000m run in school history (29:25.35).

MISSISSIPPI STATE TRACK & FIELD COACHING STAFF Franks coached Price-Weimer her freshman year in the 800-meter run and 1500-meter run, both of which she holds the schools third-fastest times. Three other distance runners also made their way in to the record book to hold the Top-3 times in the 3000-meter steeplechase, including Griesche (10:00.58), Antonia Hehr (9:59.32) and Lisa Ziegler (10:18.51). Griesche went on to receive honorable mention All-American accolades in the event.

On the men’s side of the 2014 outdoor campaign, Franks coached Damian Roszko, who worked his way into the record books in the 5000-meter run with a time of 14:13.53. Patrick Monaghan earned the second-best time in the mile at 4:07.18.

In the 2013 season, Franks coached John Valentine to the third-best 5000m mark in MSU record books (14:24.82).

During the 2011 Indoor Track and Field season, Franks guided sophomore Haley Greenwell to a third-place spot on the MSU all-time list for the 5,000-meter run, but it was during the 2011 Outdoor Track and Field season that Franks really saw Greenwell shine. Greenwell raced her way to the top of the MSU all-time list for the 10,000-meter run, while posting a 3rd place finish at the SEC Championships and a 17th place finish at the NCAA Championships. Franks’ coaching paid off at the end of the season, as Greenwell was named an honorable mention All-American.

Prior to returning to Starkville, Franks spent five years at Southwest Missouri State University (now Missouri State University), serving as head cross country coach for the Bears and winning three Missouri Valley Conference women’s titles. His women’s teams finished in the top four at the NCAA Midwest Regionals during his last three years and his men’s squads finished in the top half of the conference all five seasons. In track and field, the Bears captured three indoor and outdoor league championships on the women’s side.

Franks was a three-time MVC Coach of the Year in women’s cross country. During the 2002-03 season, he was also a part of the first SMSU squad since 199394 to win the league’s coveted Triple Crown championships in cross country and both indoor and outdoor track and field.

Personal Franks is married to former MSU runner Meggan Hodge. The two have two children, Madison and Patrick.

COLLEGE CAREER Alma Mater Truman State Graduation 1980

A veteran at the national and international level for over 30 years, Steve Silvey has coached 28 collegiate national champion squads, numerous All-Americans, 17 Olympic Medalists and 20 World Championships Medalists at several of the nation’s most prestigious programs.

Silvey, who was inducted as a coach into the National Junior College Hall of Fame (2005) has a unique quality of having won 19 team championships in the SEC, Big-12 and PAC-10 conferences. Individually, his résumé boasts 26 World Championship competitors, 34 Olympians and numerous NJCAA & NCAA AllAmericans. He also has achieved a rare feat in track and field, having coached three athletes that have run under 48.00 seconds in the 400m hurdles—two Olympic medalists and a world champion.

Silvey has coached several outstanding hurdlers in his first few seasons in Starkville, including 2015 SEC 400m hurdles champion Scottie Hearn and twotime All-SEC hurdler Jovan Davis. Hearn won the SEC title with a 49.39 mark that tied the school record. Davis ran 50.14, the fourth-fastest time ever by a Bulldog, while also clocking a 13.99 in the 110m hurdles to cap the year as the SEC’s top combination hurdler. The duo also earned All-America honors in the 4x400-meter relay after helping the Bulldogs take third at the 2015 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon.

Three of MSU’s Top 6 fastest times in the 400m hurdles and two of the Top 7 in the 110m hurdles have come under Silvey’s watch. He added a pair in 2018 with Ro’Derick Spears (13.99) in the 110m hurdles and Vince Castillo (50.74) in the 400m hurdles. Also, in 2018, Silvey guided three 400m hurdlers to NCAA Championship qualifying—Charles Brockman, Malcum Tatum and Rasheed Tatham—all of which return in 2019.

Castillo earned All-SEC laurels as a freshman after finishing seventh in the event. He followed that by posting the school’s sixth-fastest time in the event at the NCAA East Regional Championship.

At the international level, Coach Silvey served as the Zambia Olympic Coach for Track and Field in the 1992 and 1996 Olympiads and produced its first-ever Olympic medal in the sport of track and field with Samuel Matete in the 400 hurdles (silver medal). Silvey also served as the head coach for Zambia at the 1993 World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany as Samuel Matete won silver.

Silvey served as Recruiting Coordinator and Assistant Track Coach for Texas Tech University from 2004-2007. While with the Red Raiders, Silvey helped lead the 2005 men’s outdoor team to its first ever Big-12 Conference Championship.

Silvey’s impact on Texas Tech resulted in nine school records during his three years with the program.

While at the University of Oregon from 2001-2003, the men’s team jumped from fifth place to second place at the 2002 PAC-10 Outdoor championships.

In his final season with the Ducks, the men’s team claimed the 2003 PAC-10 Championship, an accomplishment not seen in 12 years.

Prior to his arrival in Eugene, Silvey was a part of 28 NCAA national team championships at the University of Arkansas, including a stretch of 13 straight years.

As the Sprints/Hurdles/Relays mentor at the University of Arkansas from the fall of 1994 through the 2000 outdoor season, he was part of 13 NCAA indoor and outdoor track & field and cross country team titles and 17 SEC team championships. His athletes won 15 All-American honors (including one NCAA champion and three NCAA runner-ups) and 13 outdoor track and field SEC individual titles. The 2000 season was perhaps the finest by his athletes, who posted one of the nation’s top times in the 4X100-meter relay (39.27), a collegiate record in the sprint medley relay (3:12.13), took second in the NCAA 4x400-meter final (3:02.02) and won the prestigious Penn Relays. His team’s shuttle relay owned the fastest time in the world that season (55.37).

Prior to arriving in Fayetteville, he was five-time national coach of the year at Blinn College, where his squads won 15 national Championships in seven years. At the Brenham, Texas institution, Silvey produced 164 All-Americans, 128 individual national champions and 27 relay champions. His cross country program added a national championship 1993 and another in 1994. Silvey’s 1992 and 1993 Blinn College teams were voted the “Outstanding Team” at the Texas Relays, and the 1992 team also added the crown of “USA Men’s National Relay Ranking Champions,” according to Track and Field News.

Silvey also has eight years of experience coaching on the high school level in Iowa, Texas and Louisiana.

A 1980 graduate of Truman State University with a bachelor’s degree in environmental science education, he added a master’s degree from Texas A&M University in physical education in 1987.

Before returning to coaching in Fall 2013 at Mississippi State, Silvey spent five years in a private business in Dallas, Texas. During this time, he published 19 books on speed training and track and field topics.

April Thomas enters her 12th season as coach of MSU throwers. She has received national recognition for her expertise in guiding athletes in the javelin after leading the Bulldogs to become the only program in NCAA history to have three men throw the javelin over 80m, earning the title “Jav U”.

Most recently, she tutored SEC Champion Anderson Peters to the 2018 NCAA javelin championship while Nico Quijera placed second in the same final.

Thomas also coached Curtis Thompson to a national title in 2016. At the 2018 NACAC Games, Peters and Thompson took home gold and silver, respectively.

Thomas’ athletes have earned five top-three finishes in the NCAA javelin championships over the last four seasons. Her throwers hold 18 marks in State’s outdoor record book and six on the indoor leaderboards. She has also guided three athletes to freshman records since arriving in Starkville.

In 2017, Thomas saw Quijera win his first NCAA runner-up title in the javelin, Brianna Smith shatter the Bulldogs’ indoor weight throw record for the first time and Haley Reynolds break State’s indoor shot put and outdoor discus records.

In addition to his 2016 crown, Thompson won gold in the javelin at the NACAC U23 Games that year and broke the school record at the U.S. Olympic Trials where he came up just 12 centimeters shy of qualifying for the Rio Olympics.

Tautvydas Kieras qualified for the 2015 NCAA East Prelims in the discus throw. Kieras, who holds the school record at 60.03m, placed 23rd. That same year, Kieras posted the No. 5 mark in outdoor shot put in Bulldog history.

Under Thomas’s guidance in the shot put, Erica Bougard claimed the 2013 pentathlon NCAA Championship title with 4,399 points and the 2014 SEC Indoor Championship after a 4,448 point performance. Bougard finished a stellar Bulldog career as a 16-time All-American and won the 2018 USATF Championship

In 2013, Thomas coached honorable mention All-American Piotr Antosik in javelin, giving the Bulldogs a national finalist in the men’s javelin for the first time since 1923 and sparking the growth of State’s javelin program. Allison Storey also broke the MSU women’s javelin record in the same year after setting the Bulldogs’ freshman record in 2010.

Thomas led Favian Cowards to All-American honors in the 2012 season with a ninth-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the hammer while breaking the MSU school record along the way. Cowards also won the Bulldogs’ first SEC Championship in the weight throw that year. That season also saw Ed Wesela post the No. 2 outdoor shot put and No. 3 indoor shot put marks in MSU history.

In 2010, Thomas helped coach LaQuinta Aaron to personal-best throws in the shot put that helped her earn provisional qualifications in the heptathlon for the 2010 NCAA Outdoor Championships. In 2009 heptathlete Marrissa Harris earned indoor and outdoor All-American and All-SEC accolades under Thomas’ shot put tutelage.

Thomas came to MSU after coaching boys’ and girls’ shot put and discus at Knoxville (Tenn.) Catholic High School and with the Knoxville Track Club.

A native of Albany, Georgia, Thomas earned her degree in sociology from University of Tennessee in 2007. Her personal best in the indoor shot put still stands at No. 6 in Tennessee’s record books and her best mark in the weight throw is 10th. Outdoors, she is 10th in the shot put. Prior to her time in Knoxville, she competed at Cloud County (Kansas) Community College.

At the 2006 SEC Indoor Championships, Thomas finished as runner-up in the shot put and was named the Lady Vols’ Field Events MVP for the indoor season.

She also has three other top five SEC finishes to her credit in the event. Thomas helped the Lady Vols win the 2005 SEC Indoor Championship and was part of Tennessee’s 2005 NCAA Mideast Regional team that captured the program’s first victory at that event.
