HEAD COACH JOSEPH SMITH

LEADER OF THE ’CATS Former All-American and national championship-winning coordinator Joseph Smith is a winner by any measure

W

ITH MORE THAN 25 YEARS INVESTED at Linfield University as head coach, assistant coach and former AllAmerica defensive back, Joseph Smith is among the college’s longest tenured coaches in any sport. Since becoming head coach in 2006, he has assembled a 131-26 win-loss record that includes 11 Northwest Conference championships and NCAA playoff berths with the Wildcats advancing as far as the NCAA semifinals (2014 and ‘15) and quarterfinals (2012 and ’13).

A popular but demanding coach, Smith served as an assistant at Linfield for 13 years, including seven seasons as defensive coordinator from 1999 to 2005. During his first season in charge, the Wildcats finished 6-3. Two of the Wildcats’ losses came at the hands of Top 10 teams and the other was to a NCAA Division II program which enjoyed its best season in many years.

With Smith as defensive coordinator, Linfield finished No. 1 in the Northwest Conference in total defense and scoring defense four times.

During that time, the Wildcats went 60-6 and made five NCAA Division III playoff appearances.

Linfield captured the 2004 Division III national championship with a 28-21 win over Mary Hardin-Baylor, a victory that was clinched by a defensive sack in the waning seconds. The Wildcats have won or shared the six NWC titles from 2000 to 2005.

Smith served first as linebackers and defensive line coach before taking over as secondary coach and defensive coordinator.

A second team NAIA All-American in 1992, Smith was a fouryear starter at cornerback and a two-time first team all-conference selection. He earned national distinction as NAIA Division II Defensive Player of the Week in the opening game of 1992, helping

CONSECUTIVE WINNING SEASONS FOR 64 YEARS, LINFIELD HAS PRODUCED A WINNING TEAM on the football field. Holding the collegiate record for consecutive winning seasons for all levels of NCAA and NAIA, the Wildcats stand alone as the most consistently successful college football program in the nation. All

but one member of the Linfield coaching staff, including head coach Joseph Smith, weren’t yet born in 1956 when “The Streak” began.

That year, Linfield went unbeaten over its final six games, ending the run of back-to-back losing seasons of 1954 and ’55.

RECENT HONORS After a rout of No. 17 Whitworth, Wyatt Smith and Tyler Bergeron are named NWC Student-Athletes of the Week

The top football team in the Northwest Conference picked up more accolades after No. 7 Linfield welcomed No. 18 Whitworth on Homecoming with a 42-7 rout of the Pirates at Maxwell Field.

Senior quarterback Wyatt Smith was named the NWC Football Offensive StudentAthlete of the Week while senior safety Tyler Bergeron earned Defensive Student-Athlete of the Week honors.

Smith completed 24 of 35 passes for 308 yards and four touchdowns. He had a long pass of 52 yards, which connected for a touchdown in the third quarter. He also rushed five times for 66 yards and a touchdown. He had a long run of 48 yards, which he took all the way for a touchdown with 28 seconds left in the first half. Smith finished the game with five touchdowns and 374 yards of total offense.

Bergeron led a Linfield defense that held the Pirates to just seven points, which came on a touchdown in the fourth quarter. He finished with a game-high eight tackles, six solo, and had an interception in the second quarter. Whitworth had just 15 rushing yards on 28 attempts, averaging 0.5 yards per rush.

The Pirates had no passing touchdowns with Bergeron anchoring the defensive backs.

LINFIELD IN THE NEWS University adding men’s and women’s wrestling to the stable of sports offerings, marking the first additions in 25 years

Linfield University on Oct. 4 announced the addition of men’s and women’s wrestling teams, which will begin competition in the fall of 2022. The university will hire a coach for the programs right away, and begin recruiting for next year. Men’s and women’s wrestling will become the 22nd and 23rd NCAA Division III sports at Linfield, which has a strong tradition of student athletics.

“This is a big moment in Linfield’s history, and in the history of Wildcat athletics,” Athletic Director Garry Killgore said. “It represents our first new varsity programs in almost 25 years, which is not a step we took lightly. Women’s wrestling is one of the fastest-growing sports in America, and we’re excited to offer new opportunities for those athletes.”

The last time the university added varsity sports was in 1996 with women’s golf and 1997 with women’s lacrosse. Linfield had a men’s wrestling team until 1986, which competed at the NAIA level at the time.

“Linfield right now is growing from a college into a university, opening a second campus, building a new $37 million science center and adding graduate programs, among other things,” said Miles K. Davis, Linfield president. “The addition of men’s and women’s wrestling fits right in with that growth trajectory. I look forward to sitting matside in Ted Wilson Gymnasium and cheering for Wildcat wrestlers in the years ahead.”

The group Restore College Wrestling Oregon has been meeting with Linfield’s athletic department for three years, discussing plans, offering help and exploring opportunities together. Larry Bielenberg, a four-time NCAA All-American and the 1975 heavyweight national

champion for Oregon State, has been a primary point of contact for RCWOR through that time.

“We are thrilled that Linfield is restarting its men’s program and initiating a new women’s program,” said Bielenberg, whose daughter graduated from Linfield in 2006. “It’s been a pleasure for Restore College Wrestling Oregon to work with Garry Kilgore and we appreciate the decision from President Davis to make it happen.

This will be the fifth program RCWOR has helped start in the state of Oregon, which in turn helps train and educate a new generation of teachers, coaches and professionals. We’re happy to be a part of it.”
