RUNNIN’ UTE PLAYER FEATURE

Going Next Level

By Rachel Nelson Utah Athletics Communications

T

yler Rawson may be a new addition to the Runnin’ Utes’ roster, but he has already had a pretty impressive college basketball career.

After spending one season at Southern Utah University and last year at Salt Lake Community College, Rawson looks to continue his improvement at Utah and make a positive impact for the state’s Pac-12 Conference program.

The Utah native has played for a different team each of the last four years. Rawson spent his high school years at American Fork High School, where he lettered in basketball as well as golf.

“I wish [people] knew my passion for golf and how much I love it when it’s warm outside. That’s why I chose basketball, so I can golf in the offseason,” Rawson added with a chuckle.

Ability also had a lot to do with his decision to play basketball. At American Fork, Rawson led the team to back-to-back Class 5A tournament runs where they fell in the semifinal round his junior and senior years. As a junior, his team won the region championship as he led AFHS in rebounds, assists, blocks and steals, and was second on the team in scoring. By the end of his senior season, Rawson was ranked fifth in 5A in rebounds, averaging 8.2 per game, and sixth in assists, averaging 4.2 per game.

Out of high school, the three-star recruit chose to begin his college career at SUU, where he immediately made a big impact for the Thunderbirds. During his freshman season, he shot 54.3 percent from the field and ranked second on the team by averaging 7.4 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. He also had a team-high 35 blocked shots. Rawson scored a seasonhigh 16 points in a 70-60 victory over Weber State and nearly matched that when he added 15 points in a close 93-92 victory over USTA.

Following his freshman season at SUU, Rawson transferred to SLCC, where he led the Bruins to a 31-8 overall record and the 2016 NJCAA National Championship. He posted double-digit scoring efforts in 37 of 39 games on the season and was also named the Region 18 Tournament MVP. Rawson’s averages of 15.9 points and 8.3 rebounds per game earned him third-team All-America honors and a place in the NJCAA All-Star game.

2016-17 UTAH BASKETBALL

One year after leading Salt Lake Community College to a national title, Tyler Rawson is making an impact with the Runnin’ Utes.

Junior forward Tyler Rawson has done a little bit of everything for the Runnin’ Utes this season after transferring across the valley from Salt Lake Community College.

Utah’s #1 Newspaper App "Great comprehensive sports coverage."

-App Store Review

RUNNIN’ UTE PLAYER FEATURE Rawson explained that he “continues to put in work in the weight room to bang with the bigger bodies.”

Besides his own efforts, Rawson recognizes the efforts of his greatest influences. “My family sacrificed a lot for me, especially in high school, traveling all around the country playing in summer tournaments. My coaches [have] helped me become better,” he praised.

Rawson cites SLCC’s national championship among his most prized accomplishments “because for the championship game, we had to play at [Hutchinson Community College’s] home court. It was a lot of fun to play in front of that many fans with a lot on the line.” Not to mention, Rawson recorded a double-double in the final game with 16 points and 11 rebounds, earning him a spot on the NJCAA alltournament team.

As someone who has experienced many different college and athletic environments, Rawson appreciates what he has found at Utah.

“The culture is unbelievable here… and I’ve been able to glide right into it, so it’s been nice,” he explained. “The coaching staff, they’re unbelievable.

And you always hear the fan base is great.”

Already, Rawson has proven to be a valuable addition to the Runnin’ Utes’ roster. In his first game as a Ute, Rawson contributed 13 points and five rebounds in an 81-37 win against Northwest Nazarene. He followed that up with 12 points and seven rebounds to help the Utes to a 96-53 victory over Concordia. In early December, he had two blocks, two assists and 14 points, including a critical 3-pointer in the final minutes, in a hard-fought 8780 victory over Utah Valley.

“The momentum of games [when] we’re going on a run with the crowd behind you, the feeling of adrenaline you get, that’s definitely fun,” Rawson related.

Wherever Rawson has played over the years, he has abided by one simple rule: “Never give up.

Something might not go your way, but you gotta turn it around and not make another mistake. You might have a bad day, but you gotta turn around and bounce right back.”

Adapting to different levels of play and new environments has been an adjustment as well, but 6

2016-17 UTAH BASKETBALL

Rawson has improved greatly over the years due to perseverance and countless hours of hard work. Rather than concentrate on one particular aspect of the game, Rawson says his focus is on “just getting better every day. Not necessarily anything stat-wise, but trying to be my best, improving wherever I can to help the team.”

Through eight games, Tyler Rawson ranked fifth in scoring (10.1 ppg), second in rebounding (6.4 rpg), tied for third in assists (2.3 apg) and first in blocked shots (9).

JON M. HUNTSMAN CENTER

R

egarded as one of the top college arenas in the nation since opening its doors in 1969, the Jon M. Huntsman Center has provided an imposing home advantage for Utah teams the past 46 years.

A landmark on the U. campus, the Jon M. Huntsman Center is the perfect place to watch a sporting event. With 15,000 chair seats (8,000 for volleyball and women’s basketball) assuring a great view from anywhere in the arena, the Huntsman Center is the largest venue in the Pac-12 Conference.

The Huntsman Center underwent a $6 million renovation in the summer of 2014. The original ceiling cloud was replaced with a super grid structure. Energy efficient LED arena lighting, which accommodates instant on and off, was installed. A new state-of-theart sound system and ceiling mounted sound panels provide greater clarity.

The project also included a draping system, offering a more intimate setting in the arena’s lower bowl for smaller events. New banners were hung to honor Utah’s all-time greatest teams and retired jerseys, and a maple wood floor was installed with an updated graphics and color scheme. New LED concourse lighting has been put in and the walls of the lower bowl were wrapped with new graphics.

A $1.3 million center-hung video board and scoreboard was installed in the fall of 2007. It features an LED ring by Optotech and four LCD video screens.

The locker rooms have also been renovated in recent

10

2016-17 UTAH BASKETBALL

years, funded in part by donations from former Ute basketball All-Americans Andrew Bogut and Andre Miller totaling $325,000.

Underground tunnels stretching 2,220 feet connect the arena with the four-building HPER complex, which underwent an extensive renovation before the 2015-16 season. The $36 million project included the new Jon M. and Karen Huntsman Basketball Center, which houses the men’s and women’s basketball programs, and the Sorenson Legacy Foundation High

Performance Center, a state-of-the-art sports medicine and strength & conditioning facility.

More than eight million fans have watched the Runnin’ Utes in the Huntsman Center, where the team is 593-145 (.803) all-time with winning records in 41 of the last 42 seasons—including eight undefeated campaigns. Utah averaged 13,053 fans per home game in 2015-16, which ranked second in the Pac-12. It was also the highest mark since the 1999-2000 season and the eighth largest average in school history.

JON M. & KAREN HUNTSMAN BASKETBALL FACILITY

T

he Jon M. and Karen Huntsman Basketball Facility, a state-of-the-art, $36 million, 101,000-square-foot structure, opened northeast of the Huntsman Center arena on Oct. 1, 2015. The four-story building features a legacy hall, separate glass-enclosed upper levels for both the men’s and women’s programs, and a rooftop terrace.

The ground floor entrances to the facility lead into the Kem and Carolyn Gardner Legacy Hall. Banners bearing images of the former Ute basketball greats hang from a 38-foot-high ceiling. A pictorial history of the men’s and women’s basketball programs lines the walls alongside a massive 30-foot raised circle and feather logo. The 6,000-square-foot hall is bathed in natural light from clearstory windows.

Expansive viewing balconies overlooking the men’s and women’s practice gymnasiums are accessible via Legacy Hall. The configuration of both gyms is ideal for practice because it allows coaches to run five simultaneous drills without impacting one another. The courts are an exact replica of the one in the Jon M. Huntsman Center. The gymnasiums also contain a video editing area, courtside taping tables and cardio equipment. A glass-enclosed yoga room shared by both teams overlooks the women’s practice court.

Other features of level one include a shared space for pre-game meals and donor functions.

Both teams have separate theaters complete with projection screens and whiteboard walls, as well as player lounges with six 55-inch televisions, custombuilt furniture and gaming consoles. The team locker rooms, which are 700-square-feet in size, are also found on level one. In addition to custom lockers, showers and restrooms, they boast in-ground hot and cold tubs that face 80-inch television screens.

The women’s and men’s basketball offices, recruiting lounges, conference rooms and coaches’ lounges are located on levels three and four, respectively. All assistant coaches have window offices 12

2016-17 UTAH BASKETBALL

and private balconies. Across the hall are offices for administrative and video staff.

The head coaches have L-shaped 935-squarefoot offices encased in floor-to-ceiling glass with private balconies. They are equipped with fireplaces, 60-inch televisions that retract into the ceiling when not in use, and surround sound.

Above level four is a rooftop terrace, bordered by a garden with low-water and drought-resistant plants, offering a 360-degree panoramic view of the Wasatch and Oquirrh Mountain ranges, the University of Utah campus, downtown Salt Lake City and the Great Salt Lake. It includes a fire pit, gas grill and Utah-themed patio furniture.

A series of existing tunnels connects level one to the HPER facilities, the Sorenson High Performance Center and Burbidge Family Athletics-Academic Center—which serve all of Utah’s student-athletes— as well as the Jon M. Huntsman Center.

“I truly feel that the Huntsman Basketball Facility is one of the nicest facilities on the planet,” said head men’s basketball coach Larry Krystkowiak. “I have been around a lot of the facilities in the country at both the NCAA and NBA levels, and this is the nicest. I say that not only because it is ours, but because the unrivaled amenities inside are complimented by the spectacular views in every direction.”

Added women’s basketball coach Lynne Roberts, “From a standpoint of taking care of student-athletes

and showing them how important men’s and women’s basketball is at Utah, there’s no better statement than this facility. It is truly unbelievable and is going to be a huge asset for us in recruiting. We’ve been able to walk recruits through it already and they are picking their chin off of the ground the entire time. It’s the definition of a ‘wow’ factor.”

The Jon M. and Karen Huntsman Basketball Facility was built in conjunction with the state-of-theart Sorenson High Performance Center, which opened in May 2015. The 20,000-square foot facility has conditioning and strength training space; an athletic training, rehabilitation and hydrotherapy area; and a refueling/nutrition station.

SORENSON HIGH PERFORMANCE CENTER

T

he state-of-the-art Sorenson Legacy Foundation High Performance Center, a two-story, 20,000-square-foot structure located northwest Jon M. Huntsman Center, opened in the summer of 2015.

The facility provides everything a student-athlete needs to achieve their peak level of performance— ranging from nutrition, strength and conditioning, sports medicine and rehabilitation, and sports psychology—all within close proximity to maximize time efficiency.

The ground floor features a 9,500-square-foot sports medicine facility and a 500-square-foot fueling station, while an expansive 10,000-squarefoot strength and conditioning center resides on the top floor. Two exterior entrances are located off the southeast corner of the building, while a refurbished tunnel system connects the performance center to the existing HPER complex, the Jon M. Huntsman Center and the new Jon M. and Karen Huntsman Basketball Facility.

The new sports medicine area features 18 treatment tables—including one traction

table—six taping stations, a hydrotherapy area, a functional rehabilitation space and cardio area, and three exam rooms.

The rehab area features Optojump and forceplate machines, and a Delos postural proprioception system.

A pair of Wattbikes and two Alter-G treadmills, which use air pressure to alleviate body weight so that athletes can start conditioning earlier after injury, are also included. The treatment area offers several modalities, including Game Ready, Dynatron with thermoprobe, Diathermy Hivamat, and NormaTec recovery systems.

The expansive hydrotherapy area includes a plunge pool in the shape of a block U, half containing cold water and half hot water with a capacity of 20 people per side. It also houses a Hydroworks 2000 underwater treadmill equipped with cameras and television monitors, allowing athletes to watch their subsurface work.

Six offices for the full-time staff and one office for graduate assistants are also included,

as well as an area to make custom orthodics, mouthpieces and splints.

The second-floor strength and conditioning center has 12 work stations, allowing athletes to train efficiently in a sport-specific program. It also includes a PLAE turf running surface, measuring five yards wide by 35 yards in length. Agility and plyometric sprinting drills performed in this area allow athletes to enhance movement patterns that transfer to their sport.

Keiser air pressurized equipment has been installed, allowing for greater training variation while providing instant feedback of athletes’ movement power. The strength and conditioning center also includes Woodway treadmills, a Hammer Strength line, and a variety of other means to maximize athletes’ performance.

The fueling station, located adjacent to the lobby area on the ground floor, offers a variety of snacks to help athletes intake the necessary levels of carbs and proteins within the critical 30-minute window after a workout to help their bodies recover.

UTAH TRADITIONS

T

he University of Utah officially adopted the nickname “Utes” for its athletic teams in 1972. The school uses the nickname with permission of the Ute Tribal Council.

“What is a Ute?” The Utes are a great basin Indian tribe. The Utes were one of the first tribes to acquire the horse from the Spanish, which transformed their culture and enabled them to become resourceful and valiant. The Utes speak their own language that is derived from the Uto-Aztecan language family.

Currently, there are more than 3,000 Ute tribal members and half of them live on the Uintah and Ouray Reservation in northeastern Utah. The Utes are important contributors to Utah’s economy through

14

2016-17 UTAH BASKETBALL

distribution of their energy resources and raising stock.

The Utah Pep Band, a 65-member group, keeps Utah fans’ spirits high in the stands at basketball, gymnastics and volleyball contests, performing for over 50 events a year to upwards of 75,000 people.

Like the Utah Marching Band, the Pep Band offers students the opportunity to serve as ambassadors for the U. at home games, as well as Pac-12 Conference and NCAA basketball tournament games. Both music and non-music majors perform contemporary, pop and jazz band music during time out slots at basketball games and during rotations at gymnastic meets, and before and after events at both, creating a lively, fun atmosphere.

The Block U (elevation 5,300 feet above sea level) was built on Mount Van Cott bordering the Utah campus in 1907. Lights on the 100-foot-tall landmark are illuminated primarily for athletic events and notify people in the Salt Lake valley that the Utes are playing at home (the lights flash after a Utah victory).

Originally built with limestone, the Block U was later replaced by a cement version. In 1969, the design was modified and 124 lights were installed. A fundraising campaign in 2006 raised $400,000 to renovate the aging landmark. Slabs of concrete and steel rebar now reinforce the 5,000 feet of surface area. Another major improvement was the installation of light emitting diode (LED) red and white lights, which are controlled through a wireless system.

The MUSS currently sponsors fan clubs for the Utah football, men’s basketball, volleyball and gymnastics teams. The name MUSS was originally derived from the school fight song lyrics (“… No

other gang of college fans dare meet us in the muss”).

Members now refer to MUSS as an acronym for “Mighty Utah Student Section.” MUSS members are easily identified by their customized t-shirts and their policy of standing throughout the entire game.

The MUSS turned 15 years old this season.

Originally known as the Student Fan Club and the Utah Fan Club, the group adopted the name MUSS for the 2002 football season.

Watch for the MUSS to regularly “Throw up a U,” a tradition that began at the Utah women’s gymnastics meets in 2001 and soon caught on with all the Ute teams and fans. It involves forming the U with their hands and raising it toward the sky.

ust 37 years old when he was appointed as Utah’s director of athletics, Chris Hill, Ph.D., has led the school’s athletics programs to unprecedented success since his hiring in October of 1987. Now in his 30th year at Utah, he is the nation’s longest actively tenured athletics director at the same school in the NCAA FBS. Hill’s most monumental accomplishment was spearheading Utah’s invitation to join the Pac-12 18

2016-17 UTAH BASKETBALL

Conference in the summer of 2010, a move preceded by the football team’s historic BCS appearances in the 2004 and 2008 seasons. In its first five seasons in the “Conference of Champions,” Utah has won two titles in gymnastics, captured the 2016 baseball crown, and was the Pac-12 South Division co-champion in football in 2015.

Utah has won nine NCAA team championships during Hill’s tenure—five by the ski team and four by the gymnastics team—and has finished as the national runner-up 16 times. Those runner-up finishes include a No. 2 national ranking by the football team after its victory over Alabama in the 2009 Sugar Bowl, and by the 1998 men’s basketball team.

He has hired three coaches who won National Coach of the Year honors at Utah: football coaches Urban Meyer (2004) and Kyle Whittingham (2008), and men’s basketball coach Rick Majerus (1998).

Hill has served on several national boards, including the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee (2004-09), chair of the NCAA Championships/Competition Cabinet (1997-98) and the NCAA Management Council Administrative Committee. He was on NACDA’s executive committee from 2002-06.

The football program, which had not played in a bowl in the 22 years immediately preceding Hill’s appointment as athletics director, is 13-4 in bowl games during his term. Utah’s other athletic programs have also thrived under his leadership.

The men’s basketball team has played in 15 NCAA Tournaments—advancing to the Sweet 16 six times and the Elite Eight twice. In 1998, the Runnin’ Utes played Kentucky for the NCAA Championship. The women’s basketball team has 15 NCAA appearances, playing in the Sweet 16 twice and the Elite Eight in 2006, and was the 2013 WNIT runner-up.

The gymnastics team has made 19 NCAA Super Six appearances while qualifying for the NCAA Championships all 29 years with Hill as AD—and the ski team has finished first or second in the nation 14 times under his watch.

He has received a number of awards, including: 2011 National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Under Armour West Region Athletic Director of the Year, finalist for the 2011 Athletic Director of the Year by SportsBusiness Journal and SportsBusiness Daily, 2011 Utah YMCA Man of the Year, 2004 Mountain West Conference’s Commissioner’s Award, 1981 Milton Bennion Fellowship, 1984 Utah Recreation Therapy Association Outstanding Service award and 1996 Utah MS Sportsperson of the Year.

The former Rutgers’ basketball captain was inducted into the Jersey Shore Hall of Fame in 1998.

2016-17 UTAH BASKETBALL

L

arry Krystkowiak will embark on his sixth season as head coach of the Utah Runnin’ Utes when the team takes the floor in 2016-17. To label Krystkowiak’s rebuilding of the Utah program anything but successful would be an understatement.

In five seasons at the helm of the Ute basketball program, Krystkowiak has accumulated 95 victories, which includes three consecutive 20-win seasons and a pair of NCAA Tournament berths.

Krystkowiak helped guide Utah to a 27-9 overall record in 2015-16, which also led to his being named the US Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) District VIII Coach of the Year.

Since winning just six games in his first season at Utah (2011-12), Krystkowiak has only added to the program’s win total after winning 15 games in 201213, 21 games in 2013-14 and 26 games in 2014-15.

The former NBA veteran has increased the squad’s win total in Pac-12 play as well, having finished with 13 conference wins in each of the previous two seasons.

The 2015-16 campaign ended with an unexpected loss to Gonzaga in the NCAA Round of 32, but that did not hamper what the Utes achieved over the course of the regular season. Utah defeated a top-seven ranked opponent for the first time since 2002 when the Utes earned an overtime-victory over No. 7 Duke at Madison Square Garden in New York, N.Y. The Utes also managed

to earn the program’s first two-game road sweep in Pac-12 play with wins over Washington State and Washington, while later in the season also picking up the program’s first win at UCLA since 1961.

Utah opened the 2015-16 Pac-12 Conference slate with two straight losses and later fell to 1-3 in conference play following a home loss to Oregon. The Utes got off the mat to win five straight before dropping back-to-back games to Oregon State and Oregon, but Utah once again showed its resiliency, closing out the regular season with a program-best seven straight wins against the gauntlet that is known as the Pac-12 Conference.

After earning the No. 2 seed in the Pac-12 Conference Championship Tournament, Utah again did something that the program has never done, earning a berth into the conference finals after posting wins over USC and California in the opening rounds.

The 2015-16 regular season concluded with sophomore Jakob Poeltl earning Pac-12 Player of the Year honors – the program’s first POY since 2009 – and senior Brandon Taylor earning the program’s first-ever Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year award. Poeltl would go on to be named the program’s second-consecutive all-American under Krystkowiak, while also taking home the Pete Newell Big Man of the Year and Kareem AbdulJabbar Center of the Year awards.

LARRY KRYSTKOWIAK

Krystkowiak led the Utes to a 26-9 record, a berth in the Sweet 16 and a No. 15 final national ranking in 2014-15. Utah was ranked in the top 25 for 19 weeks – the most time spent in the national polls since the Final Four campaign of 1997-98. Utah also had its best finish since joining the Pac-12, placing third with a 13-5 conference mark and reaching the semifinals of the Pac-12 Tournament for the second time in three years.

The Utes defeated Stephen F. Austin and Georgetown in the NCAA Tournament before losing to eventual national champion Duke in the Sweet 16, 63-57.

Individually, Delon Wright won the Bob Cousy Award and was a Wooden All-American selection under Krystkowiak. The senior guard was also named a second team All-American by the USBWA and the NABC. Wright, Taylor and Poeltl garnered Pac-12 postseason honors.

The Utes have also excelled in the classroom with Taylor being named a CoSIDA Academic All-District honoree in 2014-15. Since 2012-13, the Utes have had 13 Pac-12 All-Academic selections, including six on the first team.

Striving for success, both on and off the court, are trademarks of the Krystkowiak era and due to improvements in both areas, the Utah head coach was rewarded with a five-year contract extension that runs through the 2023-24 season.

The resurgence of Utah basketball under Krystkowiak has also ignited Utah’s fan base. The Utes averaged more than 12,000 fans at home games in 2014-15 and nearly 13,000 fans in 2015-16. Utah ranked second in the Pac-12 and No. 24 in the nation in home

attendance in 2015-16, accumulating nearly 221,000 fans on the season.

In 2013-14, Krystkowiak guided the Utes to their first postseason appearance since 2009 and surpassed the 20-win mark.

Wright, in his first season under Krystkowiak’s tutelage, went on to earn First Team All-Pac-12 and All-Defensive Team honors, a precedent for Utah men’s basketball in the Conference of Champions. Jordan Loveridge continued his development and finished among the top-12 in the league in scoring and rebounding and was Utah’s first Pac-12 Player of the Week.

In 2012-13, Krystkowiak led Utah to the Pac-12 Tournament semifinals for the first time in program history and won two postseason games for the first time since winning the Mountain West Conference championship in 2009. The Utes also more than doubled their win total from the previous season by winning 15 games.

Jason Washburn was named honorable mention All-Pac-12 becoming the first Ute to receive any postseason recognition since the team entered the league. Also, Olsen was named to the Pac-12’s AllAcademic First Team and became the first Ute to win scholastic honors since the switch in conferences.

Krystkowiak was introduced on April 4, 2011 as the new men’s basketball coach at the University of Utah and the man to lead the Runnin’ Utes into the next phase of their storied history. Krystkowiak, who has prior head coaching experience in the NCAA, CBA and NBA, left a position as an assistant coach with the New Jersey Nets to become the 15th

head coach in Utah men’s basketball history.

In his previous collegiate head coaching post, Krystkowiak led his alma mater, the University of Montana, to a 42-20 record and two NCAA appearances as the Grizzlies’ from 2004-06 before joining the NBA coaching ranks.

Hired as an assistant coach by the Milwaukee Bucks in 2006-07, “Krysko” was elevated to head coach with 17 games remaining in the season. He was retained as the Bucks’ head coach in 2007-08. Among the players he coached was former Ute All-American Andrew Bogut.

Krystkowiak’s other head coaching experience was in the CBA with the Idaho Stampede in 2003-04.

After a nine-year NBA playing career in six cities, Krystkowiak’s first coaching job was as an assistant coach at Montana from 1998-2000. The Grizzlies were the Big Sky champions in 2000. He then moved on to Old Dominion as an assistant in 2001-02 before signing on as the head coach of the CBA’s Idaho Stampede. In his lone season with the Stampede in 2003-04, he led the team to a 38-14 record and a berth in the CBA Finals.

Krystkowiak spent the next two seasons as the head coach at Montana. The Grizzlies were Big Sky champions in 2004-05, winning the conference tournament and earning an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. They appeared in the Big Dance in 2006 as well, earning an at-large bid and advancing to the second round with an upset victory over fifth-seed Nevada. It was UM’s first NCAA tournament win since 1975. Montana finished the season with a 24-7 record, after going 18-13 in Krystkowiak’s first season, losing to No. 1 seed Washington in the NCAA First Round.

The only three-time Big Sky MVP in league history and two-time Academic All-American for Montana from 1982-86, Krystkowiak is still the school’s all-time career leader in points (2,017) and rebounds (1,105). He was selected in the second round (28th overall pick) of the 1986 NBA draft by the Chicago Bulls and played in the league for nine years with San Antonio (1986-87), Milwaukee (1988-92), Utah (1992-93), Orlando (199394), Chicago (1994-96) and the Los Angeles Lakers (1996). Over his NBA career, he averaged 8.1 points and 4.1 rebounds a game with his best season in 1988-89 when he averaged 12.7 points and 7.6 rebounds a game for Milwaukee.

Krystkowiak made the Dean’s List four times at Montana, including in 1996, when he completed the degree he began over a decade earlier in business administration. He graduated with honors, boasting a 3.5 grade point average.

Krystkowiak and his wife Jan have five children, sons Cam, Luc, and Ben, along with twin daughters Samantha and Finley.

TOMMY CONNOR Associate Head Coach

T

ommy Connor is in his sixth year as a Utah assistant coach under head coach Larry Krystkowiak. During the summer of 2014, Connor was elevated to the title of associate head coach.

This is Connor’s second stint with the Utes, following four years as an assistant under the late Rick Majerus from 1994-97. Connor, a former Utah player (1986-88, 1990), returned to his alma mater after a very successful 12-year stint as the head coach at Westminster College (NAIA).

Connor was a four-year starter for the Runnin’ Utes at point guard. After graduating with a B.S. in exercise and sport science, he spent three years as a graduate assistant and another four years as an assistant coach at Utah under Majerus. During his time on the bench, Connor helped guide Utah to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight as well as the NIT “Final Four”, while capturing four Western Athletic Conference championships.

In a stellar 12-year career at Westminster, Connor led the Griffins to a 264-114 (.698) overall record, while proving even more dominant in Frontier Conference play with a 126-40 (.759) mark.

Those numbers become more impressive when considering that Connor built the program from scratch after it was reinstated prior to the 1999-2000 season.

Under Connor, Westminster posted 10 seasons with at least 20 wins, including nine straight from 2002-2011.

The Griffins won seven regular-season Frontier Conference championships and two conference tournament titles.

UTAH’S GREATEST TOP TEAMS AAU National Champions – 1916

After the Utes beat the defending national champion Olympic Club of San Francisco by 20 points on March 1 in Salt Lake City, a groundswell of support raised enough money to send the team to Chicago in search of a national title. The Utes defeated the Olympic Club again in the semifinals and took down the Illinois Athletic Club, 28-27, for its first national title and an 11-0 season.

NCAA Runner-Up – 1998

Utah took down defending national champion Arizona, 76-51, in the West Regional final and No. 1-ranked North Carolina, 65-59, in the national semifinals at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

The Runnin’ Utes fell to Kentucky in the title game as a deep Wildcat team overcame a double-digit second half deficit. Utah, led by head coach Rick Majerus and All-Americans Andre Miller and Michael Doleac, tied the school record with 30 wins.

NCAA Champions – 1944

The Utes were invited to both the NIT and the NCAA Tournament at the end of the 1944 season, but chose the former. At the time, the NIT was a much better tournament financially. After Utah lost to Kentucky in the NIT first round, head coach Vadal Peterson received a phone call from the NCAA asking them to participate in their tournament as a late fill-in for Arkansas, which was involved in an automobile accident. The Utes quickly accepted and headed to Kansas City, where they beat Missouri and Iowa State to advance to the championship game back in New York’s Madison Square Garden. Utah defeated Dartmouth, 42-40 in overtime to win the title. A few days later in a Red Cross Benefit game, Utah defeated NIT champion St. John’s, 43-36.

NIT Champions – 1947

The Utes won the three games in the tournament by a total of seven points and took down Kentucky, 49-45, in the championship game. The starters from the 1947 NIT title team were (left to right) Wat Misaka, Fred Weidner, Arnie Ferrin, Vern Gardner and Leon Watson. Ferrin, Misaka and Dick Smuin were veterans of the ’44 NCAA Championship run but center Vern Gardner garnered tournament MVP honors. Fred Weidner also played a major part in the championship.

TEAM TOGETHER

| RUNNIN’ UTES IN THE COMMUNITY

Runnin’ Ute players took part in the annual Fan Fest event last August at Rice-Eccles Stadium.

T

he Utah men’s basketball team makes dozens of public appearances each year and gives back to the Salt Lake City community in numerous ways.

In the past few years, the Runnin’ Utes have taken part in Utah Athletics’ Fan Fest, the University of Utah Healthcare cancer awareness event, the Huntsman Cancer Center 5K, Fan Appreciation Night at the Campus Store, delivering season tickets to Utah fans, and helping U. students move into the dorms through the Runnin’ Utes Move U event. They have also recently taken part in the U.’s Employee Appreciation Day, a MUSS and student lunchtime event on campus, a Holiday Food Drive with the Utah Food Bank, Christmas gift deliveries with the Utah Foster Care Foundation, visiting the VA Hospital, and delivering sandwiches and water on a regular basis to the homeless in Salt Lake City.

Navy SEAL Training

In close games and hostile environments, mental and physical toughness are critical for a team. With the goal of changing the team’s mindset, head coach Larry Krystkowiak has instituted some activities to the team’s offseason training regimen.

The past three years during the offseason, the Utes went through a Navy SEAL training course in order to toughen them up while also improving the way in which they work together. The experience has created a catchphrase for the team that they plan to draw on throughout the season: “MUSSter Up.” The drills focused on cooperation, and one of the big takeaways from the training was a traditional military axiom: “Two is one and one is none.”

THE UTAH FIGHT SONG

Verse I am a Utah Man/Fan, sir, and I live across the green, Our gang it is the jolliest that you have ever seen.

Our students are the finest and each one’s a shining star, Our yell, you’ll hear it ringing through the mountains near and far!

Chorus Who am I, sir, A Utah Man/Fan am I! A Utah Man/Fan, sir, Will be ‘til I die.

Ki-yi!

Verse We’re up to snuff, we never bluff, we’re game for any fuss.

No rival band of college fans dare meet us in The MUSS. So fill your lungs and sing it out and shout it to the sky, We’ll fight for dear old crimson for a Utah Man/Fan am I!

Chorus (same) Verse And when we prom the avenue, all lined up in a row, And arm in arm and step in time as down the street we go.

No matter if a freshman green or in a senior’s gown, The people all admit we are the warmest gang in town.

Chorus (same) Verse We may not live forever on this jolly good sphere, But while we do we’ll live a life of merriment and cheer, And when our college days are o’er and night is drawing nigh, With parting breath we’ll sing that song: “A Utah Man/Fan Am I.” Go Utes!

Scholarship Circle members are a key part in building the Utah Athletic Department as a whole. The department’s success depends on contributions to stay competitive and relevant.

arret Clegg, in his first year as the head coach at his alma mater, was very impressed with Utah’s play in the fall and looks for that to continue into the spring.

The Utes started out the season by turning in back-to-back top-three finishes for the first time since 2009-10—finishing second at the Itany Homes Collegiate and third at the Mark Simpson Invitational. Shortly thereafter, the Utes took second at the OGIO Invitational. Clegg knows that if the team continues to put hard work in over the winter, they will have a very triumphant spring.

“I have high expectations for our guys. I expect us to be competitive in our tournaments, I expect the guys to continue to improve individually, and I am also expecting better play in the spring than the play in the fall.

Our guys are hard workers, and I think it will translate to some really good finishes.

“What’s impressive with this whole group is that they are always wanting to improve,” Clegg continued.

“They look at what they’ve done and who they are— looking at the numbers by their names as well—and they aren’t content at all. They are always dying to get better and they are always working to improve. The underlying current for all of our guys is that they are looking to improve, and that’s the most exciting part of everything.”

Along with the success of fall play, there are also some things that Clegg would like to improve on so that

his players can perfect and fine-tune their game.

“I was impressed with a lot of our guys. Our new guys didn’t have as good of a fall as they were probably hoping, but I’m impressed with who they are and what they are capable of doing. We have got to improve our short game. Our wedge game really hurt us as well, showing up in par-5 scoring. Frankly, we just have to get a lot better there.”

Clegg is also very impressed with the team as a whole, and feels that the individuals on this team have the capability to do some great things with the hard work they have been putting in. Lead by sixth-year

senior Gentry Hicks, the fall lineup mainly consisted of freshman Mitchell Schow, sophomore Kyler Dunkle, and freshman Jordan Costello.

“Gentry had a really good fall. His excitement and passion to be here is really high. I didn’t know if he was going to have that in him, with him being a sixth year guy. A very analytical player, he really breaks down and tries to attack all the areas where he loses strokes. I expect that when he comes back in the spring with what he is working on over the winter, I think he will be great and have a successful final spring,” Clegg said.

Clegg also had great things to say about Dunkle.

“Kyler is a very powerful player. He hits the ball really far and also hits it straight. For him, we are working a lot on his patience and finesse with the game. He is the type of player that is always looking to get better and is a very dedicated individual.”

Clegg is looking for Schow and Dunkle to further develop their games, and is expecting their time at the University of Utah to be very bright for the both of them.

“Mitchell has great drive and passion to become a really good player,” Clegg evaluated. “He probably drives the ball better than anybody anywhere. If we can just get him to be a little more accurate on his shots to the green, I think he will have success in the spring as well.”

“Kyler has a ton of talent and really gets a lot out of his game. He is probably our best fighter out there.

He gets the most out of what he brings to the course.

He is a hard worker, and is looking to refine and polish his game for the spring.”

The Utes open the spring season at the John A. Burns Collegiate on Feb. 15-17 in Hawaii. The Pac-12 Championships are April 28-30 in Boulder, Colo.

Mitchell Schow finished 7-under to tie for fourth at the Mark Simpson Colorado Invitational last fall.

GYMNASTICS SEASON PREVIEW Embracing the Underdog Mentality

Young Ute gymnasts, picked sixth in the preseason coaches’ poll, have talent and drive.

O

ne year after placing second at the NCAA Championships behind a sensational senior class, an inexperienced 2016 Utah team surprised many by going 9-1 in the regular season and winning the regional title. But the Utes finished on a disappointing note after unraveling at the NCAA Championships.

This year’s Utes have no intention of repeating that season-end meltdown. In addition to returning some of their top talent from a year ago—including

four All-Americans, two Pac-12 champions and the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year—the Utes signed a blue chip recruiting class. The infusion of talent is just one of the changes that have taken place since last April.

“Up until the end last year, we had a great season and the kids poured their hearts out,” said Tom Farden, Utah’s co-head coach with Megan Marsden.

“But that finish made us take a deep look at how we are training our gymnasts and we have instituted some changes designed to prepare us better.”

In mapping out a new training protocol, Utah’s coaches also took into account their youthful roster of three freshmen, six sophomores, two juniors and a lone senior.

“Our approach in the preseason was to move things forward a little faster than in the past: One, because they are young and need to build confidence; and two, our Red Rocks Preview in early December was being televised live by the Pac-12 Networks for the first time,” said Farden.

The coaches also adjusted the training schedule.

“We are paying more attention ‘pre-hab,’ rehab and recovery. We hope an approach where the gymnasts have two days on, two days of active recovery and one day of complete rest will keep nagging injuries at bay,” said Farden.

The early reviews are good, with the coaches especially impressed with the many upgrades to routines. “We have new release moves on bars, new tumbling passes on floor, upgraded series on beam and more 10.0 (valued) vaults,” said Marsden.

Another area where the 2017 Utes will pick up tenths is in the front half of their lineup on each event.

“Like all the good teams, we will have a big 9.90-plus punch at the back of the lineup,” said Farden.

“Where we think we’ve improved the most is with our No. 1-3 gymnasts. Their routines are strong and polished and will really set up the back of our lineup.

“We’ve assembled a group of gymnasts who truly love the sport,” Farden adds. “They have an underdog mentality and a fierce competitiveness. A number of our gymnasts flew under the radar during the recruiting process and they are determined to show they came to Utah to compete for national championships.”

Farden cites sophomores Sabrina Schwab and MaKenna Merrell as examples of returners who entered college with less fanfare than they merited.

Both were key contributors last year as freshmen and Schwab was an All-American and the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year. Utah’s new freshman class also carries a chip on its shoulder—including 2016 U.S. Olympic alternate and Glasgow World Cup all-around champion MyKayla Skinner.

“MyKayla is a bonefide world-class athlete, but she is a fighter with an underdog mentality,” says Farden. “She fought to get onto the national team and she fought to finish fourth at the Olympic Trials. We feel the same way about (freshmen) Missy Reinstadtler and Kim Tessen, who were both Junior Olympic champions.”

Utah’s returners, who along with Schwab include All-Americans Baely Rowe, Kari Lee and Maddy Stover, as well as Pac-12 floor champion Tiffani Lewis, have elevated their game with the arrival of the heralded freshman class. “Our returners have worked their tails off,” said Farden. “It takes some kind of courage to get back on the horse after the sting of last year’s bitter disappointment at nationals.”

The talent is there to return to the NCAA podium and Marsden and Farden hope intense internal competition for positions will pay dividends come the arrival of postseason pressure.

“While (the gymnasts) are incredibly supportive

Kari Lee earned three All-America citations as a freshman before missing most of last season due to injury.

GYMNASTICS SEASON PREVIEW of each other and have a common goal in mind, they are battling head-to-head every day for positions in the lineup,” says Marsden. “Our talent and depth gives them the opportunity to experience pressure situations daily.”

No question, every starting spot will be coveted given there are seven Utes capable of going allaround this year in Rowe, Skinner, Merrell, Schwab, Reinstadtler, Tessen and Lewis. The coaches also must find room for the likes of All-Americans Lee (who missed most of last season with an injury) and Stover.

“If we stay healthy, one of our challenges will be choosing a top six on each event. Our depth will allow us some freedom to rest people since we can plug in our seventh or eighth gymnast and not miss a beat,” says Farden.

The Utes will display their talents to the largest fan base in the history of college gymnastics. Fans purchased more than 8,400 season tickets—a school record—for the 2017 season. With the lower bowl sold out, reserved season tickets were offered in the upper deck of the 15,000-seat Huntsman Center for the first time and the first five rows sold out by the first week of December. The Utes won their sixth all-sport women’s attendance title a year ago by averaging 14,928 fans a meet and they were well on their way to another title before the start of the season. Here’s what Utah’s legion of fans can look forward to on each event.

Vault: Utah could have as many as three 10.0 vaults in the lineup with the others doing beautifully-executed Yerchenko fulls. The lead vault coach this season will be second-year assistant Meredith King, who has 18 years experience on the event as a club coach.

Bars: Bars could again be Utah’s best event.

Merrell and Schwab have added new highly-valued release moves and Rowe is a first-team All-Pac-12 bar worker. Tessen and Reinstadtler won J.O. national championships on bars and Skinner brings a “wow factor” with her routine.

Beam: Utah’s Achilles’ heel at the 2016 Pac-12 and NCAA Championships, the balance beam might have gained the most of any event in the offseason.

Skinner placed fifth on beam at the 2016 USA Olympic Gymnastics Trials and Lee’s return from injury gives Utah three All-Americans in the lineup (along with Rowe and Stover). A podium beam has been installed in the Dumke Gymnastics Center to assist in postseason preparation.

Floor: Reminiscent of the 2015 NCAA runnerup Utes, this group will be explosive on floor. With the exception of Skinner, who has possibly the most difficult routine in college gymnastics, the improvement comes from within. Schwab, Merrell

Sabrina Schwab was named the 2016 Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and an All-American on bars. and sophomore Erika Muhaw have all upgraded their routines with E passes. With the big tumbling requiring more spotting, Farden takes over as the lead floor coach. King will continue to handle the choreography.

INSIDER’S LOOK AT THE 2017 UTES

Co-captains Baely Rowe, a senior, and Maddy Stover, a junior, have shown great leadership in the preseason and their track records prove they can back up their words on the competition floor. Rowe earned All-America honors in the all-around and on beam at the 2016 NCAA Championships. Stover, Utah’s All-America beam anchor last year, came back as strong as ever on her favorite event after offseason shoulder surgery.

Junior Tiffani Lewis is the reigning Pac-12 floor champion and her fierce competitive streak and athleticism—along with big improvement on the beam—could land her a spot in the all-around lineup.

Utah’s sophomore class gained two “recruits” in the offseason. Three-time All-American Kari Lee would have been a junior had she not decided to utilize the redshirt option available to her after missing most of last season with an Achilles tear. Sophomore Macey Roberts, who competed at Maryland as a freshman, is just the second transfer gymnast Utah has ever accepted.

Sophomore MaKenna Merrell, the Pac-12 bronze medalist on floor a year ago, might be Utah’s most improved gymnast. She had a dynamite preseason, upgrading her difficulty on all four events.

Sophomores Shannon McNatt and Erika Muhaw, who were seen mostly in exhibition as freshmen, have competition routines ready on two events: McNatt on floor and beam, and Muhaw on vault and floor.

After a spectacular freshman season on bars and floor, 2016 All-American and Pac-12 Freshman of the Year Sabrina Schwab is looking to break into the vault and beam lineups this year. She has also upgraded her difficulty on bars and has a new floor routine.

MyKayla Skinner, a fourth-place finisher at the Olympic Trials and an alternate on the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team, will compete in the all-around as a freshman and her coaches foresee her challenging for national titles during her career. Skinner performs some of the most difficult elements in collegiate gymnastics history including a double twisting double back on her first floor pass.

Missy Reinstadtler and Kim Tessen are both Junior Olympic champions, and like Skinner, have the potential to go all-around as freshmen. The similarities stop there. Reinstadtler’s style is one of power and elegance, while the dynamic Tessen has been dubbed “Kimpossible.”

“Alley-oop — put it through the hoop!”

Nothing matches the intensity and excitement of two great teams going head to head on the court, giving it their all. When that happens, and the final buzzer has sounded, players and fans alike leave with a greater appreciation for the game.

Wells Fargo is proud to salute the University Utes.
