2022 SOUTHEAST MISSOURI TENNIS GUIDE OVC COMMISSIONER’S CUP CHAMPIONS

S

outheast Missouri’s vision of winning the Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner’s Cup became a reality when the Redhawks claimed the league’s ultimate symbol of overall athletic excellence in Conferencesponsored championships for the first time in school history. In 2018, SEMO developed a comprehensive strategic plan designed to guide the athletics department into the future which included the following objective as it relates to competition. “Win the OVC Commissioner’s Cup within the next five years and compete annually thereafter.” Mission accomplished. In 2020-21, SEMO accumulated a total of 119 points, 7.5 points ahead of second-place Belmont (111.5). While competing in the middle of a COVID-19 pandemic, the Redhawks celebrated a dominating spring season bolstered by first-place finishes in

women’s tennis, women’s track & field, softball and baseball, and a second-place finish in men’s track & field. The Redhawks also posted third-place finishes in women’s basketball, soccer and volleyball. “This is truly a team effort. Winning the Commissioner’s Cup takes everyone. From the University administration, to the coaches and staff, to the studentathletes, to our supporters. We couldn’t have achieved this level of success without all of these groups buying into our vision,” said SEMO Director of Athletics Brady Barke. The Redhawks storybook season came a year after they were on track to win the OVC Commissioner’s Cup. In 2019-20, SEMO was in first place following the winter championships before the remainder of the year was canceled and the honor was not awarded due to COVID. “Not having the opportunity to finish what we started in 2019-20,

makes this year’s achievement extra special,” added Barke. “We felt we were poised to win the Commissioner’s Cup a year ago, so it was great to be able to carry that momentum into the 2020-21 academic year and achieve our goal.” Prior to 2020-21, SEMO finished no higher than third in the OVC Commissioner’s Cup standings. Jacksonville State (110.5), Murray State (109.5), Austin Peay (95.0), Morehead State (92.5), UT Martin (88.5), Eastern Kentucky (86.5), Tennessee Tech (80.0), Eastern Illinois (79.5), SIU Edwardsville (75.0) and Tennessee State (33.0) completed this year’s scoring. Since the start of the 2019 calendar year, the Redhawks have won 11 conference championships, most in the OVC. Five of those titles came during this spring alone. SEMO completed its unprecedented 2020-21 campaign with a 93-42-1 (.688) record in conference regular-season play

2021 OVC REGULAR-SEASON CHAMPIONS

for its highest OVC regularseason winning percentage in school history. The Redhawks were the only OVC school that qualified for every conference championship event this season. Additionally, SEMO became the first school in OVC history to win a regular-season championship in baseball, softball and women’s tennis in the same year.

2022 SOUTHEAST MISSOURI TENNIS GUIDE DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS BRADY BARKE

S

outheast Missouri Athletics has reached unprecedented success under the leadership of Brady Barke. In 2020-21, SEMO claimed its first-ever Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner’s Cup, the league’s ultimate symbol of overall athletic excellence in Conferencesponsored championships. While competing in the middle of a COVID-19 pandemic, the Redhawks won five OVC titles and one national championship. Women’s tennis (regular-season), softball (regular-season), women’s outdoor track & field and baseball (regular-season and tournament) all celebrated OVC championships, and gymnastics won the 2021 USA Gymnastics Women’s Collegiate National Championship. All that success came after the Redhawks were on track to win the OVC Commissioner’s Cup the previous year. In 2019-20, SEMO was in first place following the winter championships before

16

the remainder of the year was canceled and the honor was not awarded due to COVID. Since the start of the 2019 calendar year, the Redhawks have won a total of 11 conference championships, most in the OVC. SEMO completed its remarkable 2020-21 campaign with a 9342-1 (.688) record in conference regular-season play for its highest OVC regular-season winning percentage in school history. The Redhawks were also the only OVC school that qualified for every conference championship event in 2020-21, the best season in SEMO’s NCAA Division I history. Barke looks forward to keeping the momentum going as he begins his sixth year as SEMO’s Director of Athletics. Barke served as the Interim Director of Athletics since July, 2015, before being named to the permanent position of Director of Athletics on June 7, 2016. He has built a culture that thrives on academics just as much as it does on competitive success.

Academically, SEMO’s athletic teams are strong year-in and year-out. Athletics achieved a 3.23 departmental GPA for the 202021 academic year. Fourteen of SEMO’s 15 sports finished with a team GPA of 3.0 or higher. Before that, student-athletes overcame an enormous amount of adversity and disruption brought on by a global COVID-19 pandemic to close out the 2019-20 academic year with a Department of Athletics record 3.53 spring grade point average. That mark was the highest GPA of any semester for the Redhawks who had a total of 12 teams achieve a 3.21 or higher GPA in the spring term alone. Also, five different programs, including gymnastics (3.82), women’s soccer (3.78), women’s basketball (3.42), men’s basketball (3.26) and football (2.94) registered their highest semester GPAs ever. The upcoming 2021-22 campaign marks SEMO’s fourth

2021 OVC REGULAR-SEASON CHAMPIONS

year with Under Armour. Barke reached a multi-year agreement with the Baltimore-based global leader in performance footwear, apparel and equipment that made Under Armour the official outfitter of SEMO Athletics on July 1, 2018. As part of the multi-year agreement, Under Armour provides on-field and training gear for 15 sports. Additionally, Under Armour outfits members of the athletic department including coaches and staff. Barke also secured bids to host SEMO’s first home football playoff games. Additionally, he helped the University reach a collaborative partnership with SoutheastHEALTH. Under the agreement, SoutheastHEALTH orthopedic and sports medicine physicians provide orthopedic, primary medical care, athletic training and physical therapy services, and invest in the University by providing diagnostic equipment and athletic training supplies, as well as scholarships for students.


2022 SOUTHEAST MISSOURI TENNIS GUIDE DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS BRADY BARKE More recently, new state-ofthe-art Formetco digital video scoreboards were installed at both Houck Field and the Southeast Softball Complex under Barke’s leadership. A 4,000-square foot baseball training facility was completed prior to the 2020 season. The $400,000 indoor facility can fit up to four batting cages. Barke hired Brad Korn as the Redhawks head men’s basketball coach on Mar. 24, 2020, while navigating through the challenging times during the COVID-19 pandemic. Korn was the fourth head coach Barke hired during his tenure as Director of Athletics. During his first year in 2016-17, Barke introduced Andy Sawyers as the Redhawks head baseball coach and worked tirelessly on two major renovation projects. Nearly a month after Sawyers was hired, Southeast Missouri State and the City of Cape Girardeau officially broke ground on Capaha Field. New synthetic turf, new fencing and a digital scoreboard in the outfield were added as part of the $1.8 million project that was completed before SEMO’s season-opener. Gymnastics Coach Ashley Lawson orchestrated a big turnaround in SEMO women’s gymnastics during her first three years as head coach. Women’s Tennis Coach Mary Beth Gunn was Barke’s other hire. Sawyers, Lawson and Gunn each claimed Coach of the Year honors in 2021. SEMO’s baseball team won the OVC regularseason and tournament titles, and made the NCAA Tournament under Sawyers. The gymnastics team won the USA Gymnastics Women’s Collegiate National Championship with Lawson at the helm. And, Gunn led the women’s tennis team to its first OVC regular-season title in program history. On Feb. 3, 2017, SEMO formally dedicated Holcomb Success

Center. To honor the long-time service and philanthropy of Dr. John and Judy Holcomb, the University named the facility the Holcomb Success Center located in the Student Recreation CenterSouth. Indoor turf, weights, equipment and lifting platforms were added as part of the renovation at a cost of $500,000. The facility now has more space and equipment to handle SEMO’s larger teams or multiple teams training at the same time. Barke helped secure the Holcombs gift, the largest single cash gift in SEMO Athletics history. Major improvements were also made to the second floor of the building where athletic academic services are housed. This space provides student-athletes with places to study and features a computer lab with 30 work terminals and rooms for group meetings. Staff members assist student-athletes with life skills development, academic advising and academic progress toward degree requirements and NCAA eligibility. Additional renovations have been made to the nutrition area that serves as a fueling station for SEMO student-athletes at the Holcomb Success Center. Fundraising continues to increase under Barke’s direction. The 2018-19 campaign marked the highest level of giving to the Redhawks Club general fund in 15 years. Barke also worked with donors to establish two new endowed scholarships for student-athletes and raised over $60,000 to support the SEMO football program and summer school scholarships. More than $250,000 in pledges for the Redhawks Club unrestricted booster fund has been raised with Barke as Director of Athletics. Improved branding has been a priority. Redhawk banners, S-E! M-O! billboards, Welcome to Redhawk Country and Redhawks yard signs are prominently

displayed all over Cape Girardeau. On July 1, 2020, SEMO unveiled refreshed spirit marks, including a new primary logo, wordmark and variations for its 15 athletic programs. The new brand identity will allow SEMO’s athletic teams to display consistent logos, lettering and numerals, and is independent of the existing University marks. A year later on July 1, 2021, SEMO partnered with Affinity Licensing to manage its trademark licensing program. As part of the agreement, Affinity Licensing will act as the exclusive agency to manage the University’s consumer products licensing relationships with manufacturers and retailers. Barke helped develop the Redhawks Trivia Night & Auction, a sold out event that generated over $200,000 in net revenue over five years. In addition, he launched the Redhawks BRIDGE program which provides studentathletes with both leadership and life skills experiences through interactive programming that will prepare them to be successful in life after athletics. Barke served as Interim Associate Director of Athletics for Compliance & Student Support Services before being named the Senior Associate to the President and Secretary to the Southeast Missouri State University Board of Regents in 2013.

He began his tenure at Southeast in 2008 as Assistant Director of Athletics for Compliance & Eligibility. Barke previously served as a governance intern with the NCAA national headquarters in Indianapolis, and as a law clerk with the Southern Illinois University-Carbondale Department of Athletics Compliance Office. Barke has served as a member of the National Association of Athletics Compliance (NAAC), chaired the NAAC Education Committee, and was a member of the NAAC Board of Directors. He has facilitated the NCAA Regional Leadership Academy, and served on both the NCAA Sports Wagering Task Force and the Olympic Sports Liaison Committee. Barke has a juris doctorate degree from Southern Illinois University School of Law, an MBA from Southeast Missouri State University, and a bachelor of science degree in biology from Webster University. While a student at Webster, Barke was a member of both the basketball and golf teams and was inducted into the Webster Athletic Hall of Fame. He and his wife, Halley, are parents of three children, Mabrie, Jackson, and Kolbe.

THE OVC


2022 SOUTHEAST MISSOURI TENNIS GUIDE OVC HISTORY Now in its 74th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28, 2009. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud history dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles “Turkey” Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged February 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958 Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961 Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. After Title IX legislation passed in 1972, women’s athletics began a rebirth on the national scene as the NCAA began sponsoring and marketing women’s sports. Recognizing the need to provide increased opportunities for female athletes, the OVC began formulating plans for women’s athletics in 1975 and established women’s championships in the sports of basketball, tennis and track in 1977, with cross country and volleyball added over the next four years. Those sports were initially governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), but the overall strength of women’s programs in the league was demonstrated by the automatic bids

78

the OVC instantly received when the NCAA became the governing body in 1982. The conference added women’s golf and softball in 1994 and women’s soccer in 1998. In 2007, Eastern Kentucky’s Jacob Korir won his fourth-straight Conference cross country title becoming just the third OVC student-athlete and 13th athlete nationally to accomplish that feat. Korir was a three-time All-American in cross country, earning two top-10 finishes at the NCAA Cross Country Championship. The Nairobi, Kenya, native was also named a track and field All-American twice during his career, was selected as the OVC Male Athlete of the Year in 2006-07 and received the NCAA post graduate scholarship in 2008. In 2011 the Eastern Kentucky men’s cross country team earned a national ranking in the USTFCCCA poll, climbing to as high as No. 17; the ranking was the highest for an OVC team since the polls began in the early 1980s. The EKU men would qualify for the NCAA Championship, becoming the first OVC team to reach the national championship meet since 1980. Eastern Kentucky finished 26th overall at the event as junior Soufiane Bouchikhi was 47th in a field of 252 runners. On the women’s side Eastern Kentucky senior Lydia Kosgei became the first EKU woman to ever qualify for the NCAA Championship and went on to finish 37th at the national meet to earn All-American honors. A year later (2012) the EKU men’s cross country team was ranked as high as No. 11 nationally and finished 24th at the NCAA Championship. Wade Meddles led the team with a 38th place finish at the event while Bouchikhi was 40th. In 2013 Eastern Kentucky placed 15th at the NCAA Championship, the highest national finish for an OVC team since 1980. Soufiane Bouchikhi capped his career by winning his fourthstraight OVC Championship and earning National Runner of the Week honors during the season. Bouchikhi finished 26th at the NCAA Championship in 2013, earning All-American honors for the second-straight season. In 2014 EKU qualified for its fourthstraight NCAA Championship and finished 23rd overall and in 2015 earned its fifthstraight bid and finished 17th overall. EKU is only the second OVC team to ever qualify for five-straight NCAA Championships

(ETSU being the other). In 2016, Eastern Kentucky’s Charlotte Imer finished 31st at the NCAA Championship, the second-highest finish ever by an OVC female (trailing only a 24th place finish by Samford’s Lauren Blankenship in 2007). In 2017, the Eastern Kentucky women’s team earned its first national ranking as well as becoming the first OVC women’s team to qualify for the NCAA Championship. The Colonels finished 23rd at the National Championship meet. Following the 2017-18 season, longtime coaches Tom Akers (Eastern Illinois) and Rick Erdmann (Eastern Kentucky) retired. The duo combined for 118 OVC Championships and 115 OVC Coach of the Year Awards. In March 2020 due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, spring sports were canceled across the OVC and the NCAA (including all winter and spring NCAA Championships). Conference play for Fall 2020 sports (football, soccer, volleyball, cross country) was pushed to the spring which saw every OVC Championship successfully completed in just a 112-day span (and all but one taking place in a 90-day span). The playing field is not the only place where OVC athletes are working hard. The league also recognizes excellence in the classroom. Six Scholar-Athlete Awards are presented yearly to male and female athletes, while others are commended for their academic success by being Medal of Honor recipients or earning a spot on the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. Additionally, the league annually presents one institutional Academic Achievement Award, as well as separate team awards in each Conference-sponsored sport. Since the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-America program began, the Ohio Valley Conference has had 298 student-athletes honored with the award. Through the early years of the league, administrators wrestled with fan behavior due to the close proximity of the Conference members and the intense rivalries which developed. Just as it did decades ago, the OVC took the leadership role on what has become a national issue. In 1995, the OVC implemented a first-of-its-kind

2022 SOUTHEAST MISSOURI TENNIS GUIDE OVC HISTORY “Sportsmanship Statement,” a policy which promotes principles of fair play, ethical conduct and respect for one’s opponent. The statement has become a model for others to follow across the nation and has answered the challenge of the NCAA Presidents Commission to improve sportsmanship in collegiate athletics. Additionally, the OVC annually presents the Steve Hamilton Sportsmanship Award, in honor of the former Morehead State student-athlete, coach and athletics director, to a junior or senior student-athlete with significant athletic contributions who best exemplifies the characteristics of sportsmanship and citizenship. Most recently, the Conference has also implemented the OVC Institutional and Team Sportsmanship Awards, which are presented to one institution and 18 sport-specific teams voted by their peers to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical conduct as outlined by the OVC and NCAA. The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Founding Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institutions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track, volleyball and beach volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. Now in its seventh decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Belmont University, Eastern Illinois University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee

State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin. The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is an affiliate member for the sport of beach volleyball.
