RICE- ECCLES STADIUM / / / / / /

A Rice-Eccles Stadium record crowd of 47,825 turned out for Michigan’s visit in 2015.

W

ith its striking design, stunning mountain backdrop and panoramic views of downtown Salt Lake City and the Great Salt Lake, Rice-Eccles Stadium is recognized as one of the most beautiful college stadiums in the country. While the exterior scenery is captivating, the charged atmosphere inside Rice-Eccles Stadium makes it one of the 25 “toughest stadiums in the country” for opposing teams according to Bleacher Report.

Entering the 2016 season, Utah has played to 38-straight sellouts (35 which exceeded the seating capacity) in Rice-Eccles Stadium extending back to the 2010 opener against Pittsburgh. In its first 18 years, there have been 56 total standing-room-only crowds.

The venue’s seating capacity was increased from 45,017 to 45,807 in 2014, and as a result, 11 of the top 15 crowds in Rice-Eccles Stadium history were recorded in the last two years. The Utes averaged a school-record 46,533 fans per game in 2015, when they also recorded their two best single-game attendance marks (47,825 vs. Michigan and 47,798 vs. California). Dating back to its 13-0 Sugar Bowl campaign of 2008, Utah’s average attendance has exceeded the stadium’s capacity for eight consecutive years.

Opened in 1998 on the grounds of the old Ute (1927-71) and Rice (1972-97) stadiums, Rice-Eccles Stadium has seen several upgrades in ensuing years.

The latest is a state-of-the-art 122 x 64-foot video scoreboard that rises 137 feet above ground and was completed in the summer of 2016. One of the largest college football video boards in the country, it features a high definition display with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The enhanced software to run the board will deliver some of the best special effects in the sports industry and will synchronize with the LED boards in the north endzone. Another improvement for 2016 is a distributed sound system that will enhance the sound quality in every section of Rice-Eccles Stadium while also reducing noise to the surrounding community.

2016 UTAH FOOTBALL

Rice-Eccles Stadium has also hosted a number of other major sporting events, the most prominent being the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games.

The initial groundwork for Rice-Eccles Stadium began in 1996, when Utah Director of Athletics Chris Hill initiated a fundraising campaign to replace aging 32,500-seat Rice Stadium. A lead gift of $10 million soon came in from the George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Foundation, steered by former Ute All-America skier Spence Eccles.

The total construction costs ran $50 million, of which $20 million came from private gifts, $10 million from athletics department bonding, $12 million from the University of Utah and $8 million from the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Committee.

Preliminary construction work began in the summer of 1997. Two days after the final home game that fall, wrecking crews moved in and demolished Rice Stadium. Only the south end zone bleachers and the Rice name (Robert L. Rice contributed $1 million in the 1972 renovation) would carry over to the new venue. Rising from the rubble less than 10 months later was RiceEccles Stadium, an imposing concrete, steel and glass edifice that dominates the Salt Lake skyline.

Visible for miles is the stadium box, located 14 stories above ground and encased in a 400-squarefoot expanse of tempered glass. The box is supported by twin towers containing four high-speed elevators.

Occupants of the stadium box are treated to sweeping views of the Wasatch Mountains to the east and downtown Salt Lake City, the Great Salt Lake and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west.

The Cleone and Spence Eccles Scholarship Box on Level 4 seats 450 and has indoor-outdoor seating, along with eight suites. The Mezzanine on Level 5 provides another 17 suites.

Level 6 contains the John Mooney Working Press Area, named in honor of the late Ute football writer

and Salt Lake Tribune sports editor, and booths for television and radio (among them the Bill Marcroft Radio Booth, named for the former longtime “Voice of the Utes”). The press, TV and radio sections open into the Varsity Reception area, which seats 400 for dining.

The 2016 stadium upgrades are not the first time the scoreboards have been replaced since Rice-Eccles opened its gates. In 2003, the late Larry H. and Gail Miller donated $1.6 million for the venue’s first video scoreboard. In 2007, Utah Sports Properties financed an LED board stretching across the top of the north end zone stands, and two LED scoreboards were added to the north corners in 2014. In 2012, an LED board was placed at the bottom of the south end zone stands.

The stadium floor has also changed with the times. A FieldTurf surface with CoolPlay cork infill was installed in September 2015, marking the third version of FieldTurf laid down in Rice-Eccles since 2002. Previous surfaces (dating back to Ute Field) were natural grass from 1927-71 and again in 2000-01, AstroTurf from 1972-95 and SportGrass from 1995-99.

The south end zone bleachers, built in 1982, house the locker rooms, the Gary L. Crocker Stadium Club suite and a band room. The plaza behind the south end zone was dedicated on Aug. 21, 2003 as the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games Cauldron Park.

The Utah Athletics main ticket office is located on the southwest corner of the plaza.

NEW VIDEO BOARD AND SOUND SYSTEM FOR 2016

Fans at Rice-Eccles Stadium will be treated to a new 7,800-square foot high definition video board and distributed sound system that were installed this summer. The $13.5 million project was funded by the U. Athletics Department and Auxiliary Services.

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 an Indian tribe that originally settled Utah. Two of the more common definitions of Ute are “top of the mountains” and “people of the mountains.” Other references have Ute defined as “land of the sun.” The Utes refer to themselves as “Noochew,” meaning “the People.”

There are four Ute tribes: The Northern and White Mesa Tribes are based in Utah, while the Southern and Ute Mountain Tribes are in Colorado. The Northern Utes are most closely affiliated with the University of Utah and have a tribal membership of around 3,000. Many of them live on the Uintah and Ouray reservation. The Utes operate their own tribal government, oversee approximately 1.3 million acres of trust land and operate several businesses.

“The Pride of Utah” Marching Utes began in the 1940s as a military band. In the turbulent ’60s, support for the band dwindled, and in 1969, the Associated Students for the University of Utah (ASUU) discontinued its funding. The band was revived in 1976, and since then, the “Pride of Utah” Marching Utes have performed at all home football games, as well as numerous NFL and college bowl games.

To the victor goes the Beehive Boot. The authentic pioneer boot has been awarded annually since 1971 to the Utah school with the best record against instate foes.

The schools that compete for the boot are Utah, Brigham Young and Utah State. In its 45-year history, the Beehive Boot has been awarded to Utah 14 times (1978, ‘88, ‘93, ‘94, ’95, ’99, 2002, ’03, ’04, ’05, ‘08, ’11, ’13 and ‘15), BYU 10

2016 UTAH FOOTBALL

22 times and Utah State nine times.

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 to 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-square 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, one of the most avid and vocal student fan clubs in the nation, is nearly 6,000 strong at Ute home football games. The name MUSS was

originally derived from the school fight song lyrics (… No rival band of college fans dare meet us in the muss). Members now refer to MUSS as an acronym for “Mighty Utah Student Section.”

The MUSS turns 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.

MUSS members are easily identified by their customized tee-shirts and their policy of standing throughout the entire game. They have a number of other traditions during football games, including the Third Down Jump, in which members jump around and make noise every time the opposing team prepares for a third down play. Other rituals include the U of U Chop, which occurs every time the band plays a specific percussion song and involves MUSS members forming a U with their hands and “chopping” to the beat of the music, and the First Down Chant (members raise their hands in unison, yelling “first down,” and mimic the referees by pointing their arm in the direction of the first down).

The line of “fives” hanging in front of the MUSS section refers to the False Start Tally. Whenever the opposing team is charged with a false start, the MUSS hangs a numeral five in front of its section indicating a five-yard penalty.

Every time the Utes score, the band plays the school fight song, signaling the MUSS to sing along to the words of the Utah Fight Song. After every game, Ute team members congregate in front of the MUSS section and join in the singing of the Utah Fight Song.

Watch for the MUSS to regularly “Throw up a U,” a tradition that began at the Utah women’s gymnastics meets in 2004 and soon caught on with all the Ute teams and fans. It involves forming the U mentioned in the U of U Chop and raising it toward the sky.

The MUSS currently sponsors fan clubs for the Utah football, men’s basketball, volleyball and gymnastics teams. The football team began sporting a MUSS decal on the back of its helmets in 2004.

KYLE WHITTINGHAM / / / / / / HEAD COACH

Year at Utah: 12th Career Record: 95-46 Bowl Record: 9-1* (*2005 Fiesta Bowl Head Coach)

K

yle Whittingham, the 2008 National Coach of the Year, has participated in more Utah victories than any football coach in school history. As an assistant and head coach, Whittingham has played a role in 180 victories in 22 seasons at Utah. More than half of those have come in 11 years as the head coach, when he is 95-46.

Whittingham has been almost unbeatable in bowl games and his 90-percent bowl winning percentage is the best of any coach in NCAA history. His 9-1 bowl record exceeds the NCAA minimum of seven wins.

Whittingham was the only person involved in all of Utah’s nine consecutive bowl victories from 1999-2009—a bowl streak that is tied for the second-longest in NCAA history. He was the defensive coordinator for the first three games of the streak and the head coach for the last six. Utah is currently on a three-game bowl win streak.

He came to Utah in 1994 as the defensive line coach and was promoted to defensive coordinator the following year. On Dec. 8, 2004, Whittingham was named the school’s 20th head coach. His first victory came three weeks later when he co-coached (with Urban Meyer) the 2005 Fiesta Bowl win over Pittsburgh. His first regular-season victory was against Arizona in the 2005 season opener.

In 2008, Whittingham engineered the best season in Utah football history when the Utes finished 13-0 and routed Alabama—a team that spent five weeks at No. 1—in the Sugar Bowl. Utah finished the season with a No. 2 AP ranking and Whittingham was recognized as the National Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and the Paul “Bear” Bryant Awards committee.

Utah was the country’s only undefeated FBS team in 2008 and beat four top-25 teams—two that finished in the top 10. In addition to his national awards, Whittingham was named the Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year.

His success has carried over to the Pac-12 Conference where the 2015 Utes were co-champions of the Pac-12 South Division. Utah finished 10-3 overall, including a Las Vegas Bowl victory over BYU, and was 6-3 in conference games.

Utah’s No. 16 final AP ranking (No. 17 Coaches) in 2015 was the fourth AP top-25 finish under Whittingham. The Utes finished No. 2 in 2008, No. 18 in 2009 and No. 21 in 2014. In addition, the 2010 Utes

were ranked No. 23 in the final Coaches’ poll. Utah has appeared in every College Football Playoff (CFB) ranking in the first two years of the system, finishing No. 22 in both 2014 and 2015.

In addition to his national coaching accolades in 2008, Whittingham was a semifinalist for the Maxwell Football Club Collegiate Coach of the Year Award in 2014 and the George Munger Coach of the Year Award in 2015.

Under Whittingham, Utah has beaten every Pac12 team and also has an impressive non-conference resume, including a 3-0 mark against Michigan.

Whittingham has 13 wins over AP Top-25 teams as a head coach.

In their first season in the Pac-12 Conference in 2011, the Utes finished with an 8-5 record and a Sun Bowl victory over Georgia Tech. The 2012 Utes won three of their final five Pac-12 games and the 2013 season included an upset of No. 5 Stanford. The 2014 Utes boasted wins against historical football powers Michigan, UCLA, USC and Stanford—a feat considered unprecedented in school history. Utah finished the 2014 season with a 9-4 record and a Las Vegas Bowl win over Colorado State.

Whittingham’s players have earned numerous individual honors as well. Twelve of his players have

games and 21-17-3 in games played at neutral sites.

Utah vs. the Pac-12 Utah is 20-25 in league games as a conference member and 96-145-6 all-time against Pac-12 schools. The series breakdown follows: Arizona (1-4/20-19-2), Arizona State (1-4/7-20), California (2-1/5-5), Colorado (4-1/2831-3), Oregon (1-2/9-20), Oregon State (3-2/8-11-1), Stanford (2-0/4-3), UCLA (2-3/3-11), USC (1-4/4-10), Washington (1-2/1-8), Washington State (2-2/7-7).

Whittingham File Twelfth-year head coach Kyle Whittingham—the 2008 National Coach of the Year—has participated in more Utah victories than any football coach in school history. As an assistant and head coach, Whittingham has played a role in 181 victories in 22 seasons at Utah.

More than half of those have come as the head coach (96-46). Whittingham’s 90-percent bowl winning percentage (9-1 record) ranks first all-time in the NCAA. His postseason victories include a 2-0 mark in BCS bowls games as the co-coach of Utah’s 2005 Fiesta Bowl win over Pittsburgh and the head coach for Utah’s 2009 Sugar Bowl win over Alabama.

Standing Ovation Utah has sold out 39 consecutive games in Rice-Eccles Stadium, dating back to the 2010 season opener. Of the sellouts, 36 were played before standing-room only crowds, including all seven home games last year when the team set the school’s single-season attendance record (46,533). Utah has enjoyed a 98-percent renewal rate by its season ticket holders for seven straight years.

Facility Upgrades A high-tech massive video board rising 137 feet above the plaza behind the south stands of Rice-Eccles Stadium was installed in the summer. The overall LED display size of the board currently ranks among the largest in the country at 122 feet wide by 64 feet tall. The highdefinition display has a 16:9 aspect ratio, allowing video to be shown fully without being cropped or stretched.

Another feature of the $13.5 million project (funded by the Department of Athletics and Auxiliary Services) is a distributed sound system that uses a series of speakers mounted around the top of the stadium and directs the sound downward, rather than outward, to improve the quality of the sound for those inside the stadium and reduce noise for the surrounding community. The Spence Eccles Football Complex was also upgraded over the summer with the addition of a new artificial turf practice field. The new FieldTurf practice field is adjacent to the current natural grass field behind the Spence and Cleone Football Center and the turf field inside the Spence Eccles Field House.

FanUp! The University of Utah implemented a FanUp campaign in August of 2016 to encourage good sportsmanship from Ute fans and their athletic teams. The 20-person committee that formulated the sportsmanship initiative was represented by the Board of Trustees, administrators, faculty, staff, students, student-athletes, alumni and fans.

Senior Justin Thomas has been turned loose in the Utah secondary, developing into an All-Pac-12 caliber defensive back.

2016 UTAH FOOTBALL

y the time defensive back Justin Thomas entered his first football game at Utah in 2013, he hadn’t played in nearly two years. But since he’s gotten back in the action, he hasn’t missed a beat.

Ineligible to play his senior season at West Orange-Stark High School for exceeding the maximum age requirement, then spending his first year at Utah as a redshirt, the four-star recruit from Texas was like an animal wanting to get unleased. Once he was, Thomas immediately began contributing clutch plays for Utah’s defense, and he has only improved since then.

Before coming to Utah, Thomas accumulated multiple accolades during his high school football career, including first-team all-district honors in 2010.

Thomas also made good use of his speed on West Orange-Stark High’s track team. As a sprinter, Thomas was the state 200-meter champion in 2011, as well as a member of the 4x100- and 4x200-meter relay teams.

Thomas reflects on his high school track career as one of his greatest accomplishments, especially “winning state three years in a row,” he recalled with a smile, “that was pretty good.”

His speed has been an integral part of his success at Utah and played a major role in securing a Ute victory in the 2015 season opener against Michigan.

With Utah holding a 17-10 lead in the fourth quarter, Thomas cut a Michigan drive short with a timely interception and sprinted 55 yards the other way for a touchdown. The interception effectively halted Michigan’s comeback efforts and earned Thomas Pac12 Defensive Player of the Week honors.

Thomas’ success is the result of years of hard work. He cites his time playing high school football as crucial to his current accomplishments, and feels the greatest benefit of his high school years boils down to “preparation and just working out every day.”

As a top recruit who received offers from multiple Division I universities, Thomas ultimately chose to play at Utah for a variety of reasons. Among them were the coaching staff and the opportunities offered by playing in the Pac-12 Conference.

During his first season at Utah, he built a strong foundation for his future success at the college level. (continued on page 26)

THE WAIT IS OVER

After sitting out the last year and a half due to injury, former walk-on Tim Patrick is ready to lead the receiving corps.

By Riley Elliott Utah Athletics Communications

Senior wide receiver Tim Patrick is hoping to emerge as Utah’s top receiver after sitting out 16 games the last two seasons.

F

rom starting out his career with the Utes as a walk-on, to missing 16 games the last two years due to injury, senior wide receiver Tim Patrick has endured a lot. But when times were tough, Patrick was able to find something within him to persevere.

“Ever since I first started playing, I’ve had a love for the game,” Patrick explained. “The love of the game is what keeps me motivated the most.”

Patrick started playing football at a young age when his father, who was a coach, introduced him to the game. The San Diego native prepped at University City High School, where he earned all-league honors as a senior.

He began his post-high school career at Grossmont College in California. In 2013, he received first-team AllPCAC honors with 53 receptions for 964 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging 87.6 yards per game. Patrick also played basketball at Grossmont and earned second-team All-PCAC honors in 2012 and 2014. He helped lead them to a share of the 2013-14 PCAC basketball championship.

After drawing some interest from Division I football schools his final year at Grossmont, Patrick developed a good relationship with a few of Utah’s coaches, including Aaron Roderick, who is now the co-offensive coordinator. He was told that if his academics were in order, they would give him a shot. Patrick joined the Utes in the fall of 2014 as a walk-on and was quickly awarded a scholarship.

“The reason I came to the University of Utah was because it gave me the best opportunity as a player, and they also stuck with me in any situation I was going through,” Patrick recounted.

Although Patrick has yet to play a full season for the Utes, there are high expectations for him going into 2016. He had 16 receptions for 177 yards in nine games in 2014, and was showing signs of great potential before suffering a broken tibia against Oregon. Last year, he played briefly against Utah State in the second game before missing the rest of the season due to injury.

“When I first got here, everything was so fast, I was just trying not to do stuff wrong. That Oregon game was when I started to get a handle on the speed,” Patrick said.

“It has been a long road, but it has been well worth it,” he continued. “The team we have this year could do some special things, and I’m glad to be a part of that.”

After having a great preseason and standing out during fall camp, Patrick’s first-year position coach, Guy Holliday, has called him “the complete package”at wideout.

Utah defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley, whose group has worked against Patrick in practice, has praise for Patrick as well. “He’s got length, but for as long as he is, he’s very quick-twitch.” Scalley said. “After that, his strength—he’s able to push smaller corners off the ball. He’s able to go over the top of your shorter corners.

UTE SENIOR PROFILE / / / / / /

Tim Patrick had 16 receptions for 177 yards in nine games in 2014.

He just presents a lot of issues because of how big and explosive he is.”

Patrick is driven to have an outstanding season, working hard at practice every day and even staying after to get in some extra reps. He is also very goal oriented, and is looking to achieve those goals this fall.

“I just want to be the best, honestly, I want to win. The love of the game is what keeps me the most motivated though,” Patrick said. “As for the team aspect, we want that Pac-12 championship, Rose Bowl, even the national championship. We want to be top five in passing, top five in offense in the Pac-12, and we don’t want to lose more than one game. If we do that, all of our goals are right there.”

As a senior and someone who is in his third year in the program, Patrick has emerged as one of the leaders for the receivers. Head coach Kyle Whittingham believes Patrick can have a galvanizing effect on the offense as well.

“I don’t like to call myself a leader. I let my play do the talking,” Patrick explained. “I’ll say something here and there, but we are all mostly on the same page. When you’re all on the same page, there isn’t just one leader, everybody is a leader. That is what makes this team special.”

Coming in at 6-foot-5 and 210 pounds, Patrick is a big target. He will be joined by three other receivers and three tight ends standing 6-3 or taller, making this year’s receiving corps one of the tallest Utah has ever had.

And Patrick, who starts at the “Z” receiver position, could be the best of that group. In the opener against Southern Utah, Patrick led the Utes with five catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns. Starting quarterback Troy Williams and the QBs have been asked to throw passes nice and high to Patrick so that he can go up and get them.

“Oh yeah, more than 75 percent of the time I’m going to go get it,” Patrick said. “Just throw it up and I’ll go up.”

Patrick is looking to continue football after graduating from the U. in December with a bachelor’s degree in sociology.

“Football is plan A, B, and C,” Patrick said. “I want to make a career out of it if I can. Plan D would be for me to become a child therapist. I love working with kids and I want to help them out.”

Patrick has endured a lot to get to this point in his football career, but if his senior year goes as well as he hopes, it will all be worth it.

JUSTIN THOMAS

(continued from page 24) Even though he didn’t play, Thomas made the most of the opportunity to learn from the team’s older players. “It was rough,” Thomas said of his redshirt season. But with the perspective of a seasoned player, he also recognizes that “it was for the better.”

Since then, Thomas has played in 39 games and started in 23 of them. He has earned more starts each year as a result of his effort and focus. Since 2013, his number of tackles per season has nearly doubled. He has also tallied 15 pass breakups and seven tackles for loss.

Last year, Thomas contributed 48 tackles.

Twice he reached a season-high six tackles in Utah’s victories over Washington and BYU in the Las Vegas Bowl. His three interceptions in 2015 tied him for seventh in the Pac-12.

In addition to his pick late in the game against Michigan last season, Thomas has had many other memorable moments at Utah. One of those highlights was playing at Arizona State in 2014.

“I love the environment there, and this year I would say that will be the best game because I have a couple buddies playing over there,” Thomas explained.

As a student-athlete, Thomas also recognizes

26

2016 UTAH FOOTBALL

Senior defensive back Justin Thomas had three interceptions in 2015 to rank tied for seventh in the Pac-12. that among the most meaningful experiences he has had at Utah is getting his degree in sociology, which he will finish in December.

He also says that football “has definitely helped

me prepare for the rest of my life. This is like a job,” Thomas said, “and I don’t think any other job would be harder than this.”

As his time at Utah draws to a close, Thomas appreciates the family that helped him get to where he is today, specifically, “my dad and mom because they pushed me, and my brother because he pushed me too.”

He also looks up to his cousin Earl Thomas, who is in his seventh year as a safety with the Seattle Seahawks. “He’s in the big leagues and I want to accomplish what he did,” Thomas said.

One accomplishment he hopes to achieve this season is a Pac-12 championship. His ambitious goals extend to individual achievement as well, as he has his eyes set on being named first-team All-Pac-12.

It is clear that Thomas is focused on doing what he can to progress as a player and contribute to his team. His work ethic and team-centered attitude are evident in both practice and games. According to Thomas, his “greatest contribution to the team is just doing whatever the coach asks me to do.”

Besides these qualities, he exhibits what he believes is the foundation for any great football player: “My love for the game,” Thomas said without hesitation, “just my love for the game.”

CROSS COUNTRY PREVIEW / / / / / /

UTES AIM TO RETURN TO NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS AFTER MAKING FIRST TRIP IN SCHOOL HISTORY A YEAR AGO.

By Mady White Utah Athletics Communications

T

he Utah cross country team is coming off one of the best seasons in its history, making an appearance at the NCAA Championships first time and finishing 26th overall. Although five of the seven runners who competed at NCAAs have either graduated, will redshirt this year or are serving an LDS mission, Utah holds the same expectations and goals as the previous season.

“We know we have a different group, but we feel like our returners are even hungrier after achieving the success they did a year ago. That experience combined with a great summer of training will provide them with the confidence they need to continue to improve,” head coach Kyle Kepler explained. “We also feel we have a great group of recruits who will add to our depth and be able to contribute from day one.

Hannah McInturff returns after a breakout year, earning all-region honors. McInturff placed in the top 10 in all but one race during the 2015 campaign, including fourth place at NCAA Mountain Regionals and 10th at the Pac-12 Championships for secondteam all-league honors.

“Hannah has matured as a runner and a person.

I think the success she had last year was so new to her that she didn’t always trust that it was going to continue,” Kepler said. “This year I think she trusts her training more, as well as how she feels on a given day, allowing her to push more on the days she feels good

and back off a bit on the days she doesn’t without allowing that to affect her confidence. That’s a big sign of individual growth in any athlete as they move to higher levels.”

Jessica Sams and Shaylen Crook also raced at the 2015 NCAA Championships. Sams will redshirt this season. Crook placed 63rd at regionals last year and 51st at the Pac-12 Championships.

“I think we have a great core of returners who can step up. Giselle Slotboom, Kate Stringfellow, Dana Snell and Becky Sarmiento have probably shown the most promise of that group so far, but we have a few others who may work their way into that conversation as well,” Kepler commented. “Then we have some very talented newcomers who I think could be in that mix as well. Grayson Murphy, Amanda Gehrich, Anna Busatto, Nicole Griffiths and Poppy Tank have all had a great camp and could push for those spots as well.”

Stringfellow, a redshirt senior, finished 27th at the NCAA Pre-National meet last year and ranks in the top 10 all-time in track at Utah in the 5,000. Slotboom, also a redshirt senior, has competed sparingly over the past two seasons, but finished 55th at the Notre Dame Invitational last year. Sarmiento, a junior, placed 11th at the NCAA Pre-Nationals and finished 73rd at the Pac-12 Championships. She also holds the school record in the 3,000 steeplechase. Snell, a senior,

captured 64th place at the Pac-12 Championships and finished 28th at NCAA Pre-Nationals.

Other runners returning include juniors Sadie Wassum and Dakota Grossman, as well as sophomores Hannah Allred, Caitlin Faust, Claire Macmillan and Megan Spehar, who will be looking to build on their experience as freshmen to contribute in their second season.

The 2016 incoming class of seven freshmen and one transfer holds a lot of talent and potential.

Murphy, a transfer from Santa Clara, finished 15th at the 2015 West Coast Conference Championships and came in 64th at NCAA Regionals. Gehrich was third in the state of California as a senior. Busatto was a member of the Italian Junior National Cross Country team for the U20 European Championships. Griffiths finished in the top 10 in Oregon three years running with a best finish of third in 2014. Tank finished 21st at the 2016 ECCA English National Championships.

Emma Christensen, Ashley Licata, Jade Mulvey and Trina Moreno round out the newcomers.

Christensen finished fifth at the 2015 Minnesota State Cross Country Championships. Licata’s best California state cross country finish was 11th in 2014. Moreno finished eighth at the Iowa state meet as a junior in high school. Mulvey, who joined Utah’s track team in the spring, was a three-time runner at the Utah State Cross Country Championships.

The Utes opened their season at the Utah State Open on Sept. 3 and will travel to meets at Montana State, Nevada, Notre Dame and Wisconsin. The Pac-12 Championships take place on Oct. 28 in Tucson, Ariz., followed by the NCAA Regional Championships in Logan, Utah, on Nov. 11.

After back-to-back weekends on the road at tournaments, Utah closes out its non-conference schedule in the Huntsman Center against Utah State on Sept. 17 at 7:00 p.m. The Utes opens Pac-12 play on Sept. 21 at Colorado before coming home for three consecutive matches against Arizona State, UCLA and USC beginning on Sept. 24.

OUTSIDE/RIGHT-SIDE HITTERS

Junior Adora Anae was an All-Pac-12 First Team selection in 2015.

EXPERIENCED CORE LOOKS TO GET UTES BACK TO POSTSEASON PLAY IN 2016.

Adora Anae headlines a group of eight outside hitters on the 2016 roster, which also includes returning players at the position in Madison Legerski, Emma Kirst, Eliza Katoa and Carly Trueman. Bailee Kendall returns as well after sitting out the 2015 season as a redshirt player. New to the squad are freshmen Torre Glasker and Lauren Sproule.

Anae had one of the best statistical seasons of any Utah player, finishing the season with a schoolrecord 501 kills, 22 service aces, 388 digs and 54 total blocks. She became just the second player ever to record 500 or more kills in a season at the U and the first player to post 500 kills and more than 350 digs in the same season.

espite enduring some growing pains last season, the Utah volleyball team will look to begin the 2016 campaign on the right foot as head coach Beth Launiere returns a core group of players from last season’s squad that, not only got a lot of playing experience, but endured some hard times in order to prepare for what is next.

“We had a great winter training segment and that carried over into a great spring for this team,” said Launiere. “We improved a lot both individually and as a team. We won a lot of matches in the spring tournaments and I think that was a big confidence booster for our players.

“I feel like we survived our youth last fall and we have a great core of players returning that are now a year older. They are a year better. They all handled the pressure and the load of last season very well and now those players are our upperclassmen who have gained a tremendous amount of experience for us.”

The Utes won just 10 matches last season, but Launiere, who is heading into her 27th season at the

helm of the Utah volleyball program, feels that these returning players handled the adversity very well and they will look to rebound from that.

“As tough as last season was, I felt that we all responded well – both players and coaches – and we got better,” said Launiere. “There was nothing easy about last fall, especially coming off the success that we had in 2014. That freshman group that got a lot of playing time that season, who were sophomores last season, thought that is just how it was. That it was going to come easy. We were young though and could not handle what was coming at us.

“I think this group that are now juniors and a few that are redshirt sophomores, are really hungry. We increased our athleticism, our athletic conditioning, our skill level at all positions and our volleyball IQ. We hit every aspect this offseason and they responded well.”

Utah returns a total of 12 players from last season’s squad that managed to get a lot of playing time in 2015. The Utes graduated just two seniors last season and will have a lot of firepower returning to

VOLLEYBALL SEASON PREVIEW / / / / / / she will enter the new season needing just 350 more digs to become a member of the 1,000 dig club.

Megan Shughrou managed to get a lot of playing experience as a freshman last season and posted 228 digs in her first season donning the red and white. She tallied 2.35 digs-per-set and had the second-most service aces on the squad, collecting a total of 21 aces on the year.

Caroline Sipiora was involved in a lot of playing time last season as well, posting 67 digs in her 63-sets that she managed to get onto the floor. Meanwhile, Launiere welcomes freshman Bri Doehrmann to the mix as well.

SETTERS

Eliza Katoa ranked second on the team with 263 kills in 2015. single-match during the rally-scoring era, notching the new record on four different occasions. She set the new mark of 28 kills the first time at against Oregon State and then posted the same number of kills at California later in the season.

“Clearly what Adora does for us is the big strength for this team,” said Launiere. “She is the perfect example of someone that had to learn how to handle the load and she did that. And she did it well. She struggled early on last season, but she just got better and better. Her ability to carry the load and understand what that is about, while leading this team on the court, is a big strength.”

Katoa ranked second on the team with 263 kills and Trueman followed with 218. Kirst had just 76 kills on the year, but did manage to post 65 total blocks, which ranked third most on the squad.

“Emma came along well this spring,” said Launiere. “Her block is a really significant factor for us now. She worked really hard at getting more offensive this spring and I think that will carry over into the fall.”

managed to record 13 kills and 10 total blocks, while Alyssa Koenig brings a lot of experience to the group as just one of two seniors for the Utes in 2016.

Launiere welcomes junior transfer Tawnee Luafalemana, who comes to the U. after winning a NJCAA National Championship at College of Southern Idaho last season. Luafalemana brings in a ton of winning experience, not only from CSI, but she also collected a NJCAA National Championship her freshman season when she was a member of Blinn Junior College.

“I feel like our lineup of middle blockers is as good as it has been in a long time,” said Launiere. “We think Tawnee coming in is going to have an immediate impact. Berkeley spent the first half of last season on the right side, but we have moved her back into the middle all winter and spring and she made huge strides in the offseason. She is quickly becoming a dominant player in the middle. Alyssa is a senior for us in the middle with tons of experience. She worked her tail off this spring.”

MIDDLE BLOCKERS

DEFENSIVE SPECIALISTS/ LIBEROS

Berkeley Oblad returns as the team-leader at the net after posting 95 total blocks in her freshman campaign last season. Oblad, who went on to earn Pac-12 All-Freshman Team honors, also managed to record 180 kills and notch eight service aces. Megan Boudreaux saw action in six matches last season and 50

Tess Sutton enters her fourth season with the Utes as the second of two seniors to lead the team in 2016. Sutton is coming off a 2015 campaign where she posted a team-best 357 digs at the libero position. Her 3.13 digs-per-set ranked second-best on the team and

Launiere welcomes back sophomore Jessie Openshaw to the squad, who led the Utes with 673 total assists in 2015. Openshaw ranked among the top-10 in the Pac-12 with 5.70 assists-per-set and ranked third on the team with 20 service aces.

Emily Twohig returns after redshirting last season, while incoming freshman Bailey Choy will look to help out running the offense this season.

Choy comes to the U. following a stellar four-year prep career at ‘Iolani High School in Honolulu. Choy was named the Hawaii Gatorade Player of the Year following her senior season.

“Jessie was our main setter this spring and she got a lot of reps,” said Launiere. “She knows that it is her time to step up and I think she handled the offseason really well. She got a lot better technically, physically and mentally.”

Jessie Openshaw led the Utes with 673 assists a year ago.

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.

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 (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!

CHORUS

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

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. 58

2016 UTAH FOOTBALL

Hill’s most monumental accomplishment was spearheading Utah’s invitation to join the Pac-12 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.

In 2001, the National Consortium for Academics and Sports awarded him its Degree Completion and Outreach and Community Service Honor Award.

The New Jersey native has served in five capacities at the U., starting in 1973-74 as a graduate assistant basketball coach on Bill Foster’s staff. After coaching boys’ basketball at Salt Lake’s Granger High from 197579 (he was the 1975 4A Coach of the Year), Hill returned to the U. as an assistant coach to Jerry Pimm (1979-81).

From 1983-85, he taught in the University’s special education department before coming back to athletics as the Crimson Club director (1985-86). In 1987, he became the director of athletics.

Hill was the executive director of United Cerebral Palsy of Utah from 1981-85, during which time he developed a housing project for people with severe physical disabilities.

As an undergraduate, Hill won three letters in basketball at Rutgers and co-captained the 1971-72 team. His bachelor’s degree from Rutgers is in math education (1972). He holds a master’s in education (Utah, 1974), and a Ph.D. in educational administration (Utah, 1982).

His wife Kathy, a faculty member in the U.’s Department of Special Education in severe disabilities, received the 2010 College of Education Service Award and the 2012 ASUU Student Choice Award for Excellence in Teaching. They have two children, Aly and Christopher; three granddaughters, Addie, Lily and Ayumi, and a grandson, Jack.

Aly played soccer for the University of Oregon and has a master’s degree in social work from Utah.

She teaches students with severe disabilities in the Salt Lake City School District. Christopher holds a bachelor’s and law degree from the U. He works in business strategy for ESPN and is married to Darci Motoki, who received her bachelor’s degree from Boston College and her master’s degree from Claremont Graduate University. She is a consultant for Accenture.
