M IDDL E BLO C KERS RETURNED Jr. Jessie Allen, RS Jr. Caroline Jarmoc, Sr., Tayler Tolefree GAINED Fr. Janae Hall LOST None One of the most experienced positions on the team, the middle blocking crew will be asked to step up in several ways in 2012. Assistant coach Laura “Bird” Kuhn works primarily with the middles and wasted no time making her mark as the Jayhawk defense elevated to a new level in 2011. As a unit, KU ranked third in the Big 12 with 2.57 blocks per set, good for 36th in the NCAA. The Jayhawks recorded nearly 100 more block assists than they did in 2010 and handily out-blocked their opponents (2.6 bps/2.0 bps). Led by All-Big 12 Preseason Team member Caroline Jarmoc, the Jayhawks bring back senior Tayler Tolefree and junior Jessie Allen while welcoming incoming freshman Janae Hall to form a potent front line. With an impressive 1.25 blocks per set, Jarmoc ranked second in the league in blocking at the conclusion of the 2011 season. What ’s more, the Calgary, Alberta, Canada, native appeared on several of the Big 12’s top-10 lists in 2011, including attack percentage (.311), kills (2.92 kills per set), points (3.93 points per set) and checked in at second in service aces (0.28 aces per set) – proving her value both defensively and offensively. Jarmoc is only a piece of the puzzle, however, as

Tolefree sets her sights on an explosive senior year. Like Jarmoc, Tolefree was also a Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honoree a year ago and finished in the top-five in the conference in blocks per set (1.14, 5th). A Lawrence native, Tolefree tends to lead by example and was the only Jayhawk last year to post a double-double comprised of kills and blocks (17 kills/ 11 blocks vs. Valparaiso). Not merely a defensive unit, Jarmoc and Tolefree lead the team’s returning offense with 324 and 224 kills in 2011, respectively. Only one Jayhawk in program history owns a better career attack percentage than Jarmoc ’s .289 (Ashley Michaels, .314). Playing behind two of the strongest middle blockers in the league has helped junior Jessie Allen ready herself to step in when needed, while freshman Janae Hall is quickly adapting to the pace of the college game. Hall shows signs of making a smooth transition. The Centennial, Colo., native was named to the 2011 USA Girls Youth National Team that competed at the World Youth Championships in Anarka, Turkey and was listed by ESPN Rise as one of the top 25 players in the incoming 2012 class.

HC

Ray BECHARD HEAD COACH 15TH SEASON AT KANSAS FORT HAYS STATE | 1980 GRINNELL, KAN.

Ray Bechard enters his 15th year as the head coach of the Kansas volleyball team during the 2012 season.

HONORS & AWARDS • Winningest coach in Kansas volleyball history • Three-straight NCAA Tournament appearances (2003, 2004, 2005) • Seven-straight AVCA Team Academic Awards • 2012 U.S. Women’s National A2 Team Program Coach • 2010 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) president • AVCA National Junior College

The winningest coach in Kansas volleyball history has compiled a remarkable all-time coaching record of 938-2262 (.782 winning percentage) since arriving on the coaching scene 27 years ago as the head coach at Barton Community College in Great Bend, Kan. In 14 seasons at Kansas, Bechard has led the Jayhawks to a 222-202 mark and 10 seasons at .500 or better. Additionally, Bechard has built a solid fan base for Kansas volleyball as the Jayhawks have consistently finished among the nation’s top 50 attendance leaders the last several years. In 2010, nearly 1,000 fans filled Horejsi Family Athletics Center for every home match - good for the 48th best in the country. Bechard has guided the Jayhawks to three NCAA Tournament appearances (2003, 2004, 2005), the first in program history and seven-straight AVCA Team Academic awards. Individually, the veteran head coach has coached 13 AllBig 12 honorees, 84 Academic All-Big 12 selections, nine AVCA Academic AllRegion recipients and two AVCA AllRegion players - highlighted by 2011’s Caroline Jarmoc’s All-Central Region recognition. The veteran coach enters 2012 following his second stint with Team USA Volleyball. Bechard was one of eight collegiate coaches selected by USA Volleyball to lead the U.S. Women’s National A2 Team Program at Ohio Dominican University in Columbus,

In 2011, the Jayhawks posted their best start at 11-1 since the 2002 season, including three preconference tournament titles and knocking off No. 6 Minnesota, the highest-ranked opponent defeated in program history. Under Bechard’s direction, KU has pulled top-25 upsets in four of the past five seasons. Of the Jayhawks’ 14 all-time wins against top-25 foes, all but one came under Bechard’s direction. Additionally, Kansas upped its game at the net, finishing the 2011 season ranked third in the Big 12 in blocks per set. Jarmoc and fellow middle blocker Tayler Tolefree each checked in at top-five in the Big 12 in individual blocks per set. Bechard also witnessed Allison Mayfield lead the conference in kills per set on her way to becoming KU’s all-time leader for kills in a season (462, 2011). The Jayhawks spent three-straight weeks receiving votes on the AVCA Top-25 Poll last season. In 2010, Bechard brought in the 26th-ranked recruiting class according to PrepVolleyball.com. Kansas posted a 17-14 record, the most victories recorded since the team’s 19-win season in 2004. Those 17 wins resulted from an intense schedule that included six nationally ranked opponents. In the Jayhawks’ 31 matches, 14 of them paired Kansas against teams that went on play in the NCAA Tournament. A year after his 900th career victory milestone in 2009, Bechard notched his 200th career win at Kansas during the 2010 season. He starts 2012 just 12 wins away from his 950th career victory. His players routinely exhibit Bechard’s belief in being dedicated on the court and in the classroom.


THIS IS KANSAS PLAYERS COACHES AND STAFF 2011 REVIEW HISTORY AND RECORDS Aside from winning the AVCA Team Academic Award seven-consecutive years, Bechard’s squad has led the Kansas Athletics department in team GPA in the last three semesters. In 2011, KU tied the conference record with 10 student-athletes named to the Academic All-Big 12 team. In addition, Mayfield and Tolefree were CoSIDA Academic All-District honorees in 2011, while Karina Garlington was a two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District honoree in 2008 and 2010. In 2008, Bechard’s team enjoyed national recognition when Garlington was named the school’s second AVCA National Player of the Week on Nov. 10. In addition, Nicole Tate earned 2008 Big 12 All-Freshman team honors. During the 2007 season, Bechard and his team put together a 3-2 upset over No. 18 Oklahoma, the sixth-straight season KU upset a ranked team, and a four-game victory against tournamentbound Missouri State, which made Bechard the winningest coach in KU volleyball history. The Jayhawks also picked up a win at Missouri, marking their first road win in Columbia since 2001. The 2007 season saw the graduation of standout Emily Brown. Brown left her name scattered all over the KU record books as she became the first Jayhawk to reach the 1,000 milestone in kills, digs and assists, while also landing on five top-10 career lists. In 2006, KU picked up a Preseason Big 12 Newcomer of the Year selection in Natalie Uhart. Uhart later suffered a season-ending injury prior to the team’s first contest and that seemed to set the tone for the year as the Jayhawks were hampered with injuries over the course of the season. However, the team still collected several accomplishments during the 2006 season including a tournament title at

Temple to start off the year. In addition, the team dug up 15.81 balls per game, its highest dig average since the 2001 season. Just one year earlier in 2005, Bechard led the Jayhawks to a 15-15 overall record and their third-straight postseason appearance. Despite a depleted roster due to injuries, KU battled No. 16 UCLA to four games in Los Angeles in the NCAA Tournament First Round. The 2005 season also saw the careers of three talented seniors, Josi Lima, Paula Caten and Andi Rozum, come to a close. Caten became KU’s first Academic All-American in volleyball, while Lima, KU’s only four-time All-Big 12 First Team selection, finished her career as the Jayhawks’ all-time kills leader and one of the most prolific volleyball players in school history. Rozum’s name still sits at the top of the career assists list. In addition to his team’s achievements and the individual successes of his seniors, Bechard reached a significant milestone on Sept. 10, 2005, when he coached his 1,000th career match. The Jayhawks commemorated the milestone by defeating visiting Michigan State, 3-0. In 2004, KU returned to the NCAA Tournament for the secondstraight season and fell just short of a Sweet 16 appearance. The Jayhawks defeated Santa Clara, 3-1, before falling to host Washington, 3-2, in secondround action. KU came back from a two-game deficit to battle the Huskies, who advanced to the Final Four and then won the National Championship in 2005.

2012 Kansas came in at No. 24 in the USA Today/CSTV Top 25 Coaches Poll. A week later, Kansas reached its highest national ranking (No. 21) in the poll. The 2003 season became another celebrated year as KU achieved the most victories since 1991 (22) and the fourth most in program history, the most conference wins in school history (13) and the highest finish in the conference race (tied for third) since joining the Big 12 in 1996. The greatest highlight of the 2003 season came when Bechard and the Jayhawks were invited to participate in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history. KU shocked powerhouse Long Beach State by sweeping the 49ers 3-0 in First Round action before falling to host No. 4 Pepperdine 3-1 in the NCAA Second Round in Malibu, Calif. Bechard also reached two significant coaching milestones in 2003 as he recorded his 800th career victory and 100th win at Kansas.

Since his arrival at KU, Bechard’s teams have been making their mark in the KU record books, sitting atop numerous career lists. Bechard has helped develop the play of several standout players, including Lima, who took home All-Big 12 First Team honors all four years, as well as the 2002 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year award as a freshman. Lima, KU’s all-time kills leader (1,483), joined middle blocker Amanda Reves (199699) as the two players to earn firstteam league honors under Bechard. Lima also became the first player in KU history to be named to the AVCA All-Region Team in 2003. Katie Martinich was named the Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year for the 200708 academic year and Jennifer Kraft (1999-2002) earned the Big 12 Defensive Specialist award in 2002, while Ashley Michaels (2001-04) was an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention selection for twostraight years.


THIS IS KANSAS PLAYERS COACHES AND STAFF 2011 REVIEW HISTORY AND RECORDS Jill Dorsey, a 2004 graduate, led the Big 12 in her senior season with a scorching 4.64 digs per game and left KU as the all-time career digs leader (1,338). Michaels concluded her KU career as the program’s leader in attack percentage (.317) and finished second behind Reves in block assists (324) and blocks per game (1.03). Bechard came to KU after spending 13 years as the head coach at Barton County Community College in Great Bend, Kan. After a stellar coaching career at BCCC, Bechard was inducted into the National Junior College Athletic Association Volleyball Hall of Fame in 1998.

The Jayhawks recorded nearly 100 more block assists than last season’s squad and for the first time since Bechard’s debut season in 1998, Kansas outblocked its opponents (2.6 bps/2.0 bps). Under Kuhn’s watch, middle blockers Caroline Jarmoc and Tayler Tolefree brought Kansas’ defense to a whole new level in 2011.

Dr. Sheahon ZENGER ATHLETICS DIRECTOR SECOND SEASON AT KANSAS PH.D. IN EDUCATIONAL POLICY AND LEADERSHIP | KANSAS, 1996

Dr. Sheahon (SHAY-un) Zenger is a coach at heart. But when KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little introduced the Hays, Kan., native as KU’s Athletics Director January 3, 2011, he promised not to call any plays for the coaches. That doesn’t mean, though, that he won’t be right there with them - and their studentathletes - every step of the way. For it’s his genuine care for coaches and student-athletes that has stamped his career in intercollegiate athletics. Zenger came to KU after serving for five years as athletics director at Illinois State University, helping steer ISU Athletics to a place of prominence in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Redbirds won a conference-leading seven league titles during the 2009-10 season and captured their second Valley All-Sports Trophy in three years. ISU’s Weisbecker Scholarship Fund membership grew 65 percent during his tenure, and capital projects boomed. The Illinois State Baseball Stadium at Duffy Bass Field was officially dedicated in May 2009 to culminate the completion of that $3.5 million project. In addition, funding for the Redbird Arena locker room improvements was secured. With experience as an educator, coach, fundraiser and administrator, Zenger brought a plan to Illinois State, and with the help of the head coaches and administrative staff, personalized that strategic plan for Redbird Athletics. As a result, the athletics department saw record-high grade-point averages (GPA) in each of the last four years, including a bestever department-wide 3.13 GPA in fall 2009. Redbird studentathletes now regularly carry a GPA of 3.0 or better. ISU studentathletes have also contributed more than 2,000 hours of community service in each of the last five years, including 3,500 hours during the 2009-10 athletic season. In addition to Valley All-Sports titles in 2008 and 2010, in his last three years at ISU Zenger led the department to 16 top-five finishes in its 17 Valley sports - the highest percentage of topfive finishers in league history. In the beginning, Zenger wasn’t headed toward a career in administration. He was nine years old when he told his father he wanted to be a coach, and it didn’t take long for that dream to materialize. After playing football at Fort Hays State and MidAmerican Nazarene College, he finished his undergraduate degree at Kansas State. Even before he received his bachelor’s degree in English and secondary education in 1988, Zenger was assisting the football coaches at Manhattan (Kan.) High School. His first college football coaching job came at Drake University right after graduation.

48

In 1989, at age 23, Zenger joined Bill Snyder’s staff at Kansas State as one of the nation’s youngest full-time football staff

members; he served in key roles as assistant recruiting coordinator and director of football operations. Zenger completed his master’s degree in journalism and mass communication in 1992 while helping Snyder bring Wildcat football to unprecedented success. It became evident, though, that more than coaching was in store for Zenger. He sought advice from then-KU Chancellor Gene Budig, who convinced him to pursue a Ph.D. at KU. As he completed his Ph.D. in educational policy and leadership (1996), Zenger contributed communications and special projects support to the office of the executive vice-chancellor, Ed Meyen, and wrote the professional life history of then-chancellor Del Shankel, while strengthening his understanding of university leadership at the highest levels. Still, coaching stayed in his blood. After earning his doctorate, Zenger in 1996 signed on as the recruiting coordinator for the brand-new NCAA Division I football program at the University of South Florida. A year later he joined the University of Wyoming football staff as recruiting coordinator and within two years rose to assistant head coach, a position he still considers one of the crowning achievements of his career. Zenger stayed at Wyoming through the 2000 season before returning to Kansas State. He spent a year in the KSU College of Business, raising more than $2 million and restructuring its development program with research and planning. He rejoined KSU Athletics in 2001 as assistant athletics director for major gifts, helping KSU initiate important development strategies. In 2002 he was appointed KSU’s associate athletics director for development, a position he held until 2005, when he was named Athletics Director at Illinois State. A published author and researcher, Zenger served for three years on the NCAA Division I Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement. He also served on two NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Division committees, and was a member of the Executive Committee of NACDA’s Division I FCS Athletic Directors Association. He is also a member of many professional and university organizations, including the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), the Association for the Study of Higher Education and the American Football Coaches Association. Zenger is married to the former Pam McAnarney. The couple has three children: Luke (14), Abby (12) and Jake (10).

The Jayhawks finished the regular season third in the conference with 2.57 blocks per set, good for 36th in the NCAA. The Jayhawks recorded nearly 100 more block assists than last season’s squad and for the first time since Bechard’s debut season in 1998, Kansas out-blocked its opponents (2.6 bps/2.0 bps).

-Middle blockers Caroline Jarmoc and Tayler Tolefree brought Kansas’ defense to a whole new level in 2011. For the first time in 14 seasons, KU posted more blocks on the season than its opponents. Jarmoc, a redshirt sophomore, ended the year at second all-time in career blocks per set (1.12),

THIS IS KANSAS PLAYERS COACHES AND STAFF 2011 REVIEW HISTORY AND RECORDS

“I’ll remember this season in a lot of ways from both a personal and a professional level. There were quite a few challenges as we went through the year, but they responded every day wanting to get better.” Ray Bechard vs. Valparaiso) and also ended the year on the KU’s all-time top 10 list in single season total blocks (127, 6th), block assists (109, 7th) and blocks per set (1.14, T-8th). Jarmoc and Tolefree finished the season ranked second and fifth in the Big 12, respectively, in blocks per set. -Jarmoc also did work on the offensive side of the net, finishing second on the team behind Mayfield with 324 kills for 2.92 kills per set. Her accuracy was more notable; her .311 attack percentage ranked in the Big 12’s top 10 and is second all-time by a Jayhawk. -Sophomore libero Brianne Riley followed up a successful freshman campaign with an even more impressive sophomore year. Riley posted nine 20plus dig efforts in 2011, en route to 482 digs on the season. That ranks third alltime by a Jayhawk, while her 4.34 digs per set this season were fourth in the Big 12 and is fourth-most all-time in KU history. She set her career-high with 34 digs against Baylor on Oct. 1. Only one other Big 12 libero posted more digs in a match this season (Kristen Hahn, ISU). RECAP Kansas mowed through the first four weeks of the season despite being on the road for nine of the first 12 matches. The Jayhawks opened the season at the University of Georgia, sweeping Florida A&M, Liberty and SEC foe Georgia. Liberty, who advanced to the NCAA Tournament after winning the Big South Conference, was the first of two teams Kansas would hold to a 25-9 score in 2011. From there, Kansas dropped its first set of the season in a 3-1 win over Belmont before sweeping Appalachian State and South Dakota State to win its own Jayhawk Invitational.

Ironically, the only pre-conference tournament the Jayhawks did not win stood to be their most impressive when KU traveled to Cedar Falls, Iowa, for the Northern Iowa Invitational. KU opened the third weekend of the year by taking then-No. 15 UNI to five sets on its home floor before rebounding to defeat then-No. 6 Minnesota the next morning. Both would go on to earn national seeds in the NCAA Tournament. Kansas finished the tournament with a sweep over Saint Louis to go 2-1 during the weekend in Iowa. KU defeated San Diego State, Valparaiso and tournament-host DePaul to win its final non-conference tournament before opening conference play. Following its 11-1 start, Kansas received votes on the American Volleyball Coaches Association Division I Top 25 Poll for three-straight weeks (Sept. 12Oct. 2), peaking at 61 votes - just two spots away from cracking the top 25.

times in Big 12 play, KU recorded more kills, a better hitting percentage and more digs. The Jayhawks out-blocked their conference counterparts 10 times in 16 matches. In all, KU recorded a pair of wins over Texas Tech and beat Baylor in the final match of the season. The Jayhawks’ 25-9 victory in their final set against the Bears stood out for several reasons. For the first time since the NCAA 25-point scoring rule went into effect (2008), Kansas held not one, but two, opponents to a single-digit in a set. It also marked the first time since the rule change that Baylor had ever been held to a single-digit score in a set. The next day, Baylor was selected to play in the NCAA Tournament.

When the NCAA’s Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) projections were released for the first time on Oct. 17, KU debuted at No. 39 and would spend the next four weeks in the top 45. The Jayhawks finished the season at No. 47, the highest-ranked RPI team to not make the postseason. Kansas opened Big 12 play against nationally-ranked duo Texas and Iowa State, which resulted in the team’s first defeats via sweeps of the year. Aside from its second meeting with ISU later in the year, KU would not be swept again.

Coach Bechard hugs Allison Mayfield What followed was an uncharacteristic the night she broke KU’s single-season kills record. run for Kansas as the team went 0-7 to start Big 12 play, a mark that had not occurred since the 1997 season. Despite the record, KU put constant pressure on league opponents. Seven
