WELCOME TO KANSAS WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY Welcome to Kansas Wesleyan University. For nearly125 years, Kansas Wesleyan has provided its students with a faith-based, valuescentered education in the arts, sciences, and professional studies areas characterized by excellence within a caring community. Affiliated with the United Methodist Church, we offer over 30 undergraduate programs at the associate and baccalaureate levels, several special programs for adults who wish to finish their education, and the MBA degree. We are located in Salina, the crossroads of Kansas, so our students are in an ideal location for internships, student teaching placements, volunteer activities, and off-campus jobs. There is also easy access to shopping, restaurants, theatres, parks, museums, and cultural arts events. The intercollegiate athletics program is an important part of the life of many Kansas Wesleyan students. We are proud members of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Champions of Character program. Our teams compete through the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC), and that competition demands both focus and commitment. The lessons our students learn through their participation in our athletic programs help develop those skills that will be needed throughout life: goal setting, commitment to excellence, teamwork, and communication. We have made a strong commitment to having the programs, services, and facilities needed to support a strong athletic program. In addition to our athletic program, our students can choose from a full range of student activities that appeal to a wide variety of interests. Just a few examples of student activities include vocal and instrumental music groups, theatre, studio arts, debate and forensics, yearbook, newspaper, student government, ministry and fellowship groups, intramurals, and numerous other special interest organizations. I am impressed by the number of our athletes who become actively involved in many of these other opportunities on campus. At Kansas Wesleyan University, you can make a difference, and you can achieve things far beyond what you may have imagined possible. I invite you to take the time to walk around our beautiful campus and sense the excitement of Kansas Wesleyan University.

WELCOME TO TODAY’S GAME FROM MATT WILLIAMS, DIRECTOR OF ATHLETIC PROGRAMS Welcome to Kansas Wesleyan University, the home of the Coyotes. As I embark on my fourth year as Director of Athletic Programs, there is a continued sense of Coyote pride on campus — from the success we had in our athletic programs in recent years, to the completion of the Student Activities Center. Kansas Wesleyan captured six KCAC Championships last season and had a conference best 87 wins in conference play and 146 wins overall, also a KCAC best in the eight major sports sponsored by the conference (Football, Volleyball, Men’s and Women’s Soccer, Men’s and Women’s Basketball, Baseball and Softball). Our coaches have continued to recruit high quality student-athletes that excel not only on the athletic field, but in the classroom as well. Last year, our women’s basketball team boasted the best team GPA in the conference last year, and KWU had nine NAIA Scholar-Athletes in 2007-08. The faculty, staff, and administration of Kansas Wesleyan University have all taken pride in what we have accomplished and will continue to take pride in the success we will have this year both on and off the athletic playing field. I hope you enjoy today’s contest and are impressed with our student athletes’ accomplishments both on and off the athletic field. As you look around here today and through this athletic program, I encourage you to please support all our local sponsors and thank them for supporting these young student athletes. These sponsors play a very important role in keeping the success of the athletic programs here at Kansas Wesleyan University.

FROM THE DEAN OF THE CHAPEL Athletic competition is one of the most enjoyable (and sometimes intense) parts of the Kansas Wesleyan University experience. Athletes have the opportunity to compete for their school. Students and alumni, parents and friends, and faculty and staff all have the opportunity to cheer for their school. Through intercollegiate competition, all of us get to experience what it means to be a team and to pull for each other. Intercollegiate competition is one of the ways in which we strengthen connections for a lifetime. This is because athletic preparation and competition is an educational experience. From the Golden Age of Greece to the Twenty-first Century, athletes have not only honed their skill, they have learned to deal with teammates, challenges, expectations, adversity, and what we know as the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. As an educational enterprise, this means that athletic competition is about the development of character. This is true not only for athletes, but the entire university community. At the heart of character are the issues of how we conduct ourselves—win or lose. Losing hurts. Winning is a joy. There are no two ways about it. Both winning and losing pose a challenge to our personhood. No one likes a poor loser. It is important, when on the heartbreaking, losing end the final score, to congratulate the opposing college with grace. Perhaps even more grace is required when we win. I believe that the one thing worse than losing poorly is winning poorly. When the athletes of Kansas Wesleyan University lose, I am always proud when they treat the opposing college with grace. When we win, I am even more proud when we treat the opposition with grace and magnanimity. Both strengthen our character. Grace cultivates connections for a lifetime. That’s when all of us win. The Reverend John Blackwell, Ph.D. Dean of the Chapel

2008 - 09 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL SEASON PREVIEW With four returning seniors on the team, the Kansas Wesleyan Women’s Basketball program will turn to experience and leadership to lead the team in 2008-09. All four returning seniors either started or played large roles on last year’s team that finished with a 9-9 record in conference play. Last season was the first time that KWU finished at the .500 mark or better in KCAC play this millennium. Wesleyan does have to find ways to replace key losses in Tierra Baldwin and Charressa Gray. Baldwin and Gray accounted for 31 percent of Wesleyan’s scoring last season and 39 percent of the rebounding. Despite the staggering losses, Reimer feels that the returners along with a talented group of junior college transfers and one of the strongest freshman recruiting classes in recent history. Good news comes in the fact that the four returning seniors (Kaylaen Dittmer (5-7, G, Tribune, Kan., Greeley County HS), Khristy Santee (5-9, G/F, Little Elm, Texas, The Colony HS), Jennie Vopat (6-0, C, Great Bend, Kan., Hutchinson CC (Kan.)) and Emily Luckeroth (5-8, G, Palm Desert, Calif., Irvine Valley College (Calif.))) accounted for nearly 49 percent of the scoring and 36 percent of the rebounding totals from last year. Add in the other returning players, and the Coyotes return 65 percent of their 61.9 points per game and 52 percent of their 37.41 rebounds per game from a year ago. Reimer is pleased with the level of leadership the seniors have accepted for the upcoming season. “The seniors have shown great determination and leadership during the preseason conditioning workouts,” Reimer said. Returning players include LaCole Wilkinson (5-2, G, So., Stewartsville, Mo., East Buchanan C-1 HS), who started all but two games last year, averaging 7.75 points and 3.54 rebounds per game. Also returning are Tiffany Goetz (5-6, G/F, So., Hoxie, Kan., Hoxie HS), Brandi Jensen (5-8, F, So., Mankato, Kan., Rock Hills HS), and Megan Cavenee (5-10, G/F, So., Tribune, Kan., Greeley County HS) will all fit into the mix as well. Newcomers that will be counted on to make an immediate impact for the Coyotes this season include a pair of junior college transfers from Eastern Arizona College in Gina Boros (5-8, G, Jr., Debrecen, Hungary) and Brittany Stalnaker (5-10, F, Jr., Yuma, Ariz.). “Gina is a pure shooter and Brittany will provide us with a consistent force in the post,” Reimer said. “They are both hard workers that will help us be better.” The Coyotes also have a talented group of freshmen that will fit into the mix. Jessica Potthoff (5-7, G, Highlands Ranch, Colo., Thunder Ridge HS), Shelby Babcock (5-6, G, Ventura, Calif., St. Bonaventure HS), Tina Dick (5-3, G, Quitman, Ark., Quitman HS), Ashley McKinney (6-0, F/C, Kansas City, Mo., Ruskin HS), Katelyn Matlock (5-10, G/F, Early, Texas, Early HS) all have a chance to make an impact for the Coyotes this season. The Coyotes have an incredible amount of depth as the guard position, with ten of the 15 players this season having experience at the guard position. “The strength of this year’s team will be the depth at the guard position,” Reimer said. “We should be able to use our depth to wear down our opponents.” The Coyotes have a challenging non-conference lineup on the schedule which features three teams that finished the 2008 season ranked inside the top 15 in the Division II poll last season. Wesleyan’s non-conference opponents combined for a 178-170 record last season. The Coyotes will open the 2008 season on November 4 at Peru State College. Wesleyan’s home opener inside the new Mabee Arena is scheduled for November 22 against Benedictine College.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL COACHING STAFF

GO ORDON REIMER HEAD MEN’S BASKETBALL COACH HEA Gordon Reimer R has been the head women's basketball coach at Kansas Wesleyan since the start of th the 2004-05 season. As Reimer continutes to take the steps necessary to begin building a quality program, he said, will not be out worked by my competition, and this year’s recruiting class again shows “I wi that th hard work pays off.” Before coming to Kansas Wesleyan, Gordon spent four years as an assistant college basketball coach. Three years for Central Christian College and one year at McPherson College. He also was previously head volleyball coach at Central Christian College in McPherson. Reimer also coached volleyball at Kansas Wesleyan for three seasons before stepping down in January, 2007 to concentrate solely on basketball. “I want my basketball teams to be known for their aggressive and up tempo style of play; I believe effort is the one thing we have control of every game, every practice.” Coach Reimer’s coaching philosophy is to be mentally and physically tough, give one’s best effort every day, have a positive attitude towards life and teammates and provide inspiration and motivation to those around you. Reimer is no stranger to building basketball programs. He helped develop one of the state’s most successful high school programs at McPherson. Many of his previous players went on to play at various colleges including Division I, Junior College and NAIA programs. “My long term goal at Kansas Wesleyan University is to win the regular season title, the conference tournament, and make an appearance in the NAIA Playoffs.” Born and raised in Hillsboro, Kan., Gordon and his wife Pat have one son, Bret and one daughter, Liz.

RYAN SHOWMAN ASSISTANT COACH

Ryan Showman has been assistant women’s basketball and head golf coach at Kansas Wesleyan University since 2007. Showman played basketball for former Wesleyan head coach Jerry Jones for three seasons, and was a three year letterwinner for the Coyotes. “I am excited to have a chance to help Coach (Gordon) Reimer to continue the turn around of the women’s basketball program,” Showman said. “He has already made great strides, and I am excited to have opportunity to help the team continue its ascent to the top of the conference.”

2008 - 09 MEN’S BASKETBALL SEASON PREVIEW Kansas Wesleyan and second year head coach Mike Davert look to build on last season’s 14-14 overall finish, which included a 12-6 record in KCAC play. The Coyotes have four players returning that started at one point or another last year, which accounted for almost two-thirds of KWU’s 64 points per game in 2007-08. Those four players include All-American selection Trey Sims (6-2, G, Sr., Tulsa, Okla., Sterling (Kan.)), Romero Hood (6-1, G/F, Jr., Phoenix, Ariz., Phoenix College (Ariz.)), Eric Hammond (6-0, G/F, Sr., Wichita, Kan., Cowley CC (Kan.)) and Willie McCarty (6-2, F, Jr., Omaha, Neb., Southeast CC (Neb.)). Davert also points out that other players that saw action last year will fit into the mix as well. “We have a lot of experience back for us this year,” Davert said. “We also have a lot of guys that may not have seen a lot of playing time last year that have come into preseason workouts that obviously worked hard over the summer to get better.” Those returning players include Clay DuBois (6-4, G, Jr., Idaho Springs, Colo., Clear Creek HS), who saw quality minutes last year, especially at the end of the season, and two players in Mike White (5-10, G, So., Salina, Kan., McPherson College (Kan.)) and Melvin Underwood (5-11, G, Jr., Monroe, La., Iowa Lakes CC) that missed all or part of the season last year due to injury. Another player that returns to the Coyotes after a year off is Cameron Simms (6-2, G, So., Lyons, Kan., Lyons HS) who has a chance to compete for some playing time. Davert also points out that having a full year to go out and recruit players to fit his system and to work with the returning players will show immediate benefits when the Coyotes open the season at the end of October. “Last year, we had to hit the ground running and didn’t get a chance to work in our system,” he said. “It took us a few games to get into the groove of things, and we improved as the season went along as well. This year, with a whole summer and fall to get ready for the upcoming season, it should pay immediate dividends for us.” Davert points to three transfers and four freshmen that have a chance to fit into the mix for the Coyotes this season. Matt Dickman (6-0, G, So., Tucson, Ariz., Central Arizona College), Rodney Brown (5-10, G, Jr., Phoenix, Ariz., Mesa CC (Ariz.)) and Matthew Jarrett (6-2, F, Jr., West Helena, Ark., Arkansas Baptist College) are three impact transfer players that will help the Coyotes out from the get go. Add into the mix freshmen Devon Crabtree (6-2, Fr., Chanute, Kan., Chanute HS), Dante Jordan (6-4, F/C, Oklahoma City, Okla., Putnam City North HS), Tony Milani (6-8, C, Phoenix, Ariz., Greenway HS) and Brad Wespieser (6-2, G, Phoenix, Ariz., Apollo HS) all have a chance to get some varsity time. Davert says the look of the Coyotes this season will be a lot like last year, but with an increased talent level and added depth. “Size wise we are a lot like last year,” Davert said. “But this year we have better depth, we are shooting the ball better and are a lot quicker.” While not the brutal non-conference slate of a year ago, the Coyotes will face a strong non-conference schedule in 2008-09. “Our non-conference schedule is strong again this year,” Davert said. “We are going to have to be ready to go from the beginning.” Wesleyan kicks off its 2008-09 campaign on October 31 in the Southern Nazarene Classic against Southwestern Christian University in Bethany, Okla., before facing the host Crimson Storm on November 1. The Coyotes then open the home portion of the schedule on November 15 against Johnson and Wales University. It will be the first regular season game for the Coyotes inside the new Mabee Arena.

MEN’S BASKETBALL COACHING STAFF

MIKE DAVERT HEAD MEN’S ME BASKETBALL COACH Mike Dave Davert has been the head coach for the KWU Coyotes prior to the start of the 2007-08 basketball season.. Davert is no n stranger to Kansas Wesleyan University, serving as assistant coach for former coach and athletic director Jerry Jones for two seasons in 2004-05 and 2005-06. Davert succeeded Tommy DeSalme, who coached the Coyotes one year, leading Wesleyan to its first KCAC Dave Championship since the 1999-2000 season, and the school’s first-ever berth to the NAIA Division II National Championships, while setting a school record for wins in a season with 28. Davert came to KWU after spending three seasons as head coach at Southeast of Saline High School, where compiled a 48-19 overall record, and led the Trojans to the 2006-07 KSHSAA Boys’ Class 3A State tournament, finishing with a 22-2 record. Davert said his coaching philosophy will be to move the ball up the floor, and play with a high level of intensity on both ends of the floor. “The style of game I would like to play is full court. The teams I have coached have always pressed full court and gotten after it defensively,” he said. “It starts with defense, night in and night out the defensive pressure has to be there. There will be nights when your offense will struggle and you have to go into each game knowing that you can rely on your defense to get yourself some easy baskets.” Davert is a native of Escondido, Calif., and after starring at San Pasqual High played one season at Palomar Community College in San Marcos, Calif., before moving onto Marymount (Kan.) College, where he graduated with a degree in secondary education in 1985. After Marymount, Davert played professionally in Dublin, Ireland, for one year, where he was also a coach. He continued onto Emporia State (Kan.) University as a graduate assistant coach for legendary Hornet head coach Ron Slaymaker for three years while completing his master degree in Health, Physical Education and Recreation. After Emporia State, he was an assistant coach for one season at Central Missouri State. Davert spent two seasons as assistant boys’ coach at Orange Glen High School in Escondido, Calif., before Jones asked Davert to return to Kansas as an assistant with the Coyotes in 2004. He lives in Salina with his wife Kelly.

DIRECTOR OF BANDS WILLIAM McMOSLEY Professor William McMosley begins his tenth year as the Director of Bands at Kansas Wesleyan University. Since his arrival in 1999, the “Mighty Coyote Pep Band” has ascended to the top of the pep band ranks in the Kansas Conference. Nicknamed “Maestro Mad Mac” by former Athletic Director and Basketball Coach Jerry Jones, McMosley and his talented group of musicians can be found at all home football games, and most home basketball games jazzing up the crowd as the Coyotes fight to victory. McMosley received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Adams State College in 1969, and also received his Master of Arts degree from Adams State in 1971. While at Saint Mary of the Plains College in Dodge City in 1989, McMosley was awarded the 1989 Outstanding Teacher Award from Sears Roebuck Company. McMosley continues to be active across the country, making appearances as a clinician, and as a guest conductor for orchestras, concert bands, jazz bands, and marching bands. He is also the Director of the Salina Municipal Band.

THE KANSAS COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC CONFERENCE (KCAC) The Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference, commonly called “The Kansas Conference,” is a prominent intercollegiate athletics conference comprised of ten outstanding independent or private institutions of higher education in the state. The origins of the KCAC are traced to February 15, 1890, when the Kansas Intercollegiate Athletic Association became the result of the first successful attempt at organization among Kansas colleges, “to promote and regulate amateur intercollegiate athletics.” At that time the association or conference included not only private universities and colleges but also Kansas Agriculture College (now KSU), Kansas University, and Washburn University. Football seems to have been the major sponsored sport, and Baker University won the championship for the first three or four years. In about 1902 this early association became allied with the Kansas College Athletic Conference, a group which was the first to adopt a definite set of rules and regulations. It also promoted an annual track and field meet which has continued yearly since, except for World War years. Basketball has been sponsored since 1904. Football was revived in 1907. Tennis began as early as 1912. Golf was added in 1923. By this time the name of the conference had been altered to the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference; it had grown to 17 college members and two allied members: Baker, Bethany, Bethel, College of Emporia, Fairmount (now WSU), Friends, Kansas Wesleyan, KSTC of Emporia (now ESU), KSTC of Hays (now FHSU), KSTC of Pittsburg (now PSU), McPherson, Ottawa, St.Benedict’s (now Benedictine), St.Mary’s, Sterling (formerly Cooper), Southwestern, and Washburn, and with St.John’s and Kansas City University (Kansas) as allied members. Kansas University and Kansas Aggies had dropped out earlier to join other conferences. In 1923 the College of Emporia, KSTC of Emporia, KSTC of Hays, KSTC of Pittsburg, Wichita (formerly Fairmount), Southwestern, and Washburn withdrew to form the Central Conference. The present legal entity comes from a reorganization of the conference when the predecessor Kansas Intercollegiate Athletic Conference formally disbanded on December 1, 1928, and a new conference was formed which again was called the Kansas College Athletic Conference. The members were Baker, Bethany, Kansas Wesleyan, McPherson, Ottawa, and St.Mary’s colleges. At that time sportswriters quickly gave the KCAC league a nickname: the “Little Six,” in contrast to the Big Six (which became Big Eight, now Big 12) which also was organized in 1928. St.Mary’s College was discontinued in 1931. The College of Emporia returned to the fold in 1933, and Bethel was readmitted in 1939. Friends, a former member of the KIAC, was admitted in 1953. Sterling and Southwestern were approved for membership in 1958. In 1968 Tabor College and St. Mary of the Plains College were admitted to make twelve members in the conference, and the conference was organized into Southern and Northern divisions until 1970 — when Baker, College of Emporia, and Ottawa withdrew to join two separate Missouri-based conferences. In the mid-1970s the formal name was changed again to Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference. In 1975 women’s intercollegiate athletics were incorporated into programs of the KCAC. Ottawa was readmitted in 1981, bringing the conference membership to 10. In 1992 St.Mary of the Plains College in Dodge City left the conference and eventually closed. In 1999, Saint Mary College (now University of Saint Mary) joined to return the KCAC membership to ten institutions. The “Kansas Conference” (KCAC) continues to be an all-Kansas conference. The KCAC is an affiliated conference of the National Association of intercollegiate Athletics with headquarters in Kansas City, Mo.. Today the KCAC sponsors conference intercollegiate athletics in football, volleyball, men’s cross country, women’s cross country, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s indoor track and field, women’s indoor track and field, men’s outdoor track and field, women’s outdoor track and field, baseball, softball, golf, women’s tennis, men’s tennis. The KCAC is a widely respected conference which governs intercollegiate athletics in cooperation with the NAIA.

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS (NAIA) “The first general session of the `Organizing Convention’ of the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball (NAIB) was held in the Phillips Hotel, Kansas City, Missouri, at 10 a.m., Sunday, March 10, 1940.” But the seed from which the NAIB sprouted was planted two blocks away at Municipal Auditorium. It was there in 1937 that a men’s basketball tournament tipped off which has become the longest continuous national collegiate tournament in any sport. The tournament was the brainchild of Emil S. Liston, Dr. James Naismith, Frank Cramer, and a group of Kansas City business leaders who wanted to provide Kansas City-area fans with exciting amateur competition and to provide a framework for small colleges and universities to determine a national basketball champion. In 1948, the NAIB affirmed its commitment to equality by becoming the first national organization to offer intercollegiate postseason opportunities to black student-athletes. Unprecedented action was taken in 1953 when historically black institutions were voted into membership. One year previous to the inclusion of historically black institutions, another form of expansion occurred. In 1952, as a result of the expressed desires of the member institutions, appropriate steps were taken by which the NAIB was transformed into the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), and the first all-encompassing set of rules and standards was adopted. Recommendations to take this important action were made by the National Executive Committee at the annual meeting after determining the move was desirable and feasible. The recommendation was later approved by a mail vote of the entire membership. With the Association’s new name came the addition of national championships in golf, tennis and outdoor track and field. Football, cross country, baseball and swimming and diving were added to the championships calendar in 1956. Wrestling (1958), soccer (1959), bowling (1962-78), gymnastics (1964-84), indoor track and field (1966) and men’s volleyball (1969-80) were later additions. Two major changes were made during the 1970s. An extensive study was completed in 1970 which paved the way for two divisions of football. Four teams qualified for the playoffs in each division at the outset and, later, 16 teams were selected for postseason play. In 1997, football was consolidated to one division again as the Football Coaches Association cited a narrowing gap between enrollment size and philosophy of the two divisions. As the NAIA moved into its second half-century in the 1980s, it revolutionized national collegiate athletics with the establishment of athletics programs for women on August 1, 1980. Official notice on that date followed a mail vote by the membership on May 1 that supported becoming the first organization to offer collegiate athletics to both men and women. The championship calendar for women began that year with basketball, cross country, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track and field, softball, tennis and volleyball. Soccer was added in 1984, and golf was included in 1995. Gymnastics was discontinued after the 1988 championship. Another important chapter in the history of the NAIA unfolded in 1992 when the Association voted to move its headquarters from Kansas City to Tulsa. Moving with the national office was the Division I Men’s Basketball National Championship which had been held in Kansas City for 56 years. In 1993, the waves of change once again washed over the Association. The membership voted to discontinue the use of district play as a means of qualification for national championships, marking the first time since the NAIA’s creation that district competition would not be used. In 1999, the NAIA restructured to include 14 regions to better serve its membership. Each region is governed by a regional management committee comprised of various conference and independent representatives. In 2000, the NAIA reaffirmed its purpose to enhance the character-building aspects of sport. Through Champions of Character, the NAIA seeks to create an environment in which every student-athlete, coach, official and spectator is committed to the true spirit of competition through five tenets: respect, integrity, responsibility, servant leadership and sportsmanship. This program will educate and create awareness of the positive characterbuilding traits afforded by sports and return integrity to competition at the collegiate and youth levels while impacting all of society. Everything has come full circle. The NAIA relocated its National Office in July of 2001 to Olathe, Kansas, just miles from Gardner where the idea for the small-college basketball tournament gave rise to the NAIA. Now, nearly 65 years after that initial tournament, the NAIA Division I Men’s Basketball National Championship is returning to Municipal Auditorium, the arena that was home to so many memories from 1927-74. In Summer 2007, the NAIA relocated its National Office to downtown Kansas City, Mo. The NAIA has 50,000 student-athletes participating at nearly 300 member colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada. Divided into 14 regions, the NAIA offers 23 championships in 13 sports. Since 1937, the NAIA has continued a long tradition of pushing the envelope and making a positive difference in the lives of students, coaches and parents. The Champions of Character program is the latest cuttingedge addition to the NAIA’s proud history of innovation. Through Champions of Character, the NAIA seeks to create an environment in which every student-athlete, coach, official and spectator are committed to the true spirit of competition through the five core values: respect, integrity, responsibility, servant leadership and sportsmanship.
