THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH

F

ounded in 1850 and encompassing 1,500 acres in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountain range, the University of Utah prepares students to live and compete in the global workplace. Utah became a member of the Pac-12 Conference on July 1, 2011.

With an enrollment of over 31,000, the U. offers 100 undergraduate and more than 90 graduate level fields of study. It has earned a top-tier grading from the Academic Ranking of World Universities for 11 consecutive years, and offers nationally-ranked programs in law, pharmacy, mathematics, business, biomedical engineering, family medicine, life sciences, entertainment arts and engineering. The U. made CollegeAtlas.org’s 2014 A-List— which grades schools on academic quality, accessibility and affordability—ranking in the top 12 for both in-state and out-of-state tuition.

RESEARCH

The University of Utah ranks among the top public research universities in the nation. From university-developed technology, the U. has launched nearly 127 new startups over the last seven years, consistently placing it in the top 10 in the nation for university startup creation.

Geneticist Mario R. Capecchi received the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on gene targeting. Çağan Şekercioğlu, assistant professor of biology, won the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey’s highest prize for 2014. Peter J. 6 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL

Stang, distinguished professor of chemistry, received the 2013 Priestley Medal and 2011 National Medal of Science for his pioneering work in supramolecular chemistry.

TECHNOLOGY AND COMPUTER SCIENCES

In 2015, the U.’s entertainment arts and engineering program was ranked first in the country for the second time in three years. The University’s School of Computing was founded in 1965, and began a pioneering legacy in computer graphics and visualization that continues today. The internationallyrecognized Scientific Computing & Imaging Institute is a leader in creating new scientific computing techniques, tools and systems to help solve wide-ranging challenges of human life. The College of Engineering was ranked 57th by U.S. News & World Report in 2014.

MEDICINE

University of Utah Health Care was named one of the “100 Great Hospitals in America” in 2014, and in 2012 ranked among the top 10 academic medical centers in the nation for the third year running.

The Utah Genome Project is one of several innovative medical research programs at the U. Other notable programs include the Huntsman Cancer Institute, the Clinical Neurosciences Center and the Moran Eye Center.

BUSINESS SCHOOL

The David Eccles School of Business’ undergraduate program was ranked No. 47 by U.S. News & World Report in 2014. It also placed in the top 25 for entrepreneurship for the fourth straight year by the Princeton Review. The Executive MBA program was ranked 30th in the nation

by Financial Times.

LAW SCHOOL

The S.J. Quinney College of Law was ranked second in the nation, just behind Yale Law School, for student clinical opportunities according to data compiled by National Jurist magazine in 2014.

RICE- ECCLES STADIUM

RICE- ECCLES FACTS First Game: Sept. 12, 1998 Seating Capacity: 45,807 Largest Crowd: 47,619 Chair Seats: 15,015 Suites: 25 Surface: FieldTurf

S

ince the gates to Rice-Eccles Stadium opened 17 years ago on September 12, 1998, fans have poured through them in record numbers. In fact, for the past seven seasons, attendance at Utah home football games has exceeded the venue’s seating capacity.

Rice-Eccles Stadium’s seating capacity was increased to 45,807 prior to the start of the 2014 season, when the Utes averaged over-capacity crowds of 46,436 to set the school single-season attendance record.

Entering the 2015 season, Utah has played to 31-straight sellouts in Rice-Eccles Stadium extending back to the 2010 opener against Pittsburgh. Of the sellouts, 28 were played before crowds that exceeded the stadium’s capacity (which was 45,017 from 19982013). There have been 49 standing-room-only crowds over the past 16 years.

With the venue’s enlarged seating capacity in 2014, six of the top 10 crowds in Rice-Eccles Stadium history were recorded last year. A record crowd of 47,619 watched the Utes defeat No. 20 USC while 47,528 were on hand for Oregon’s visit last November.

Four other games have gone over the 46,000 mark, including California (46,768) in 2003, TCU (46,522) in 2010, BYU (46,488) in 2008 and USC (46,037) in 2012.

With its striking design, stunning mountain backdrop and panoramic views of the Salt Lake Valley, Rice-Eccles Stadium is perhaps the most beautiful stadium in the country. The eyes of the world were on the venue in 2002 as it hosted the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games. It is the third stadium located on the site, predated by Ute Stadium (1927) and Rice Stadium (1972).

In 1996, Utah Director of Athletics Chris Hill initiated a fund-raising 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 8 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL

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 June 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 Rice-Eccles 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.

Suites are located on the first two levels of the stadium box, while the top level is reserved for the media.

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 features the Varsity Reception Room, which seats 400, as well as the John Mooney Working Press Area, named in honor of the late Ute football writer and Salt Lake Tribune sports editor. Three tiers of press seating can accommodate more than 100 media representatives, and there are also booths for television and radio (among them the Bill Marcroft Radio Booth, named for the former “Voice of the Utes”).

Upgrades have continued in recent years. In June 2003, Larry H. and Gail Miller donated $1.6 million for a video display system and new scoreboards. In 2007, an LED board stretching 200 x 4 feet across the north end zone was made possible by Utah Sports Properties at a

cost of $500,000. A second LED board was placed at the bottom of the south end zone stands in 2012. The north endzone scoreboards were replaced in 2014.

Plans call for a new and enlarged state-ofthe-art videoboard and sound system to be installed behind the south end zone stands prior to the start of the 2016 season.

The stadium floor has also changed with the times and new FieldTurf was installed in June 2009, replacing the initial FieldTurf version from 2002.

Previous surfaces (dating back to old Ute Field) included 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 plaza also includes the Utah Athletics main ticket office.

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 distribution of their energy resources and raising stock.

“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 in-state foes. The schools that compete for the boot are Utah, Brigham Young and Utah State. In its 44-year history, the Beehive Boot has been awarded to Utah 13 times (1978, ‘88, ‘93, ‘94, ’95, ’99, 2002, ’03, ’04, ’05, ‘08, ‘11 and ‘13), BYU 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 10 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL

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, 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 14 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 Utah Man/Fan. After every game, the Ute team members congregate in front of the MUSS section and join in the singing of Utah Man.

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

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 participated in 170 victories in his 20 years at Utah.

Eighty-five of those (85-43) have come in 10 years as the head coach.

Whittingham has been almost unbeatable in bowl games and is tied with John Robinson (USC/ UNLV) for the best bowl winning percentage of any coach in NCAA history with an .889 mark. The two have identical 8-1 bowl records and the NCAA minimum is seven wins.

Whittingham is the only person who was involved in all of Utah’s nine-consecutive bowl wins from 1999-2009, which tied the second-longest bowl win streak in NCAA history. He was the head coach for six of those wins and the defensive coordinator for the first three.

He came to Utah in 1994 as the defensive line coach and was promoted to defensive coordinator the next year. On December 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

Year at Utah: 11th Career Record: 85-43 Bowl Record: 8-1* (*2005 Fiesta Bowl co-coach)

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 had 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.

The country’s only undefeated FBS team in 2008, Utah 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.

He has had four teams finish in the top 25 in his head coaching tenure: No. 2 in 2008 (AP), No. 18 in 2009 (AP), No. 23 in 2010 (Coaches) and No. 21 in 2014 (AP). Utah appeared in every College Football Playoff ranking in the CFP’s inaugural season in 2014 with a final rank of No. 22.

Last season, while leading Utah to its best overall (9-4) and conference (5-4) record since joining the Pac-12 in 2011, Whittingham was named to the watch list for the 2014 Dodd Trophy and was a semifinalist for the Maxwell Football Club Collegiate Coach of the Year Award.

The 2012 Utes won three of their final five Pac-12 games and the 2013 season included an upset of No. 5 Stanford.

Whittingham’s players have earned numerous individual honors as well. He has coached 12 players to major All-America team honors—among them 10 first-team and two second-team honorees. First-team All-Americans were Luther Elliss (1994, consensus defensive lineman), Eric Weddle (2006, consensus defensive back), Louie Sakoda (2007, punter; 2008, unanimous consensus place kicker), Zane Beadles (2009, offensive line), Shaky Smithson (2010, punt returner), Star Lotulelei (2012, defensive tackle), Reggie Dunn (2012, kick returner), Tom Hackett (2014, punter), Nate Orchard (2014, defensive end) and Kaelin Clay (2014, returner). His second-team AllAmericans were Morgan Scalley (2004, defensive back) and Caleb Schlauderaff (2010, offensive line).

Hackett became the first Ray Guy Award winner in school history in 2014 and Orchard received the Ted Hendricks Award as the nation’s top defensive end.

Whittingham’s players have won 63 first-team all-conference awards, including 11 in Utah’s first four seasons of Pac-12 play. Among them were two-time first-team honorees Hackett and Lotulelei (2011-12).

UTE SENIOR PROFILE

Travis Wilson is one of just three four-year starting quarterbacks in Utah history and ranks second with 22 career wins.

THE STRENGTH OF MATURITY Senior quarterback Travis Wilson has been through his share of ups and downs the past four years, but he is stronger for it.

By Mady White Utah Athletics Communications

A

uthor and businessman Howard Schultz once wrote, “In times of adversity and change, we really discover who we are and what we’re made of.”

It would be an understatement to say that senior quarterback Travis Wilson has faced some adversity 24 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL

and change during his Utah career. Dealing with injuries, personal tragedy, coaching changes, and of all the outside noise that comes with being a Division I quarterback hasn’t been easy for Wilson.

“It’s definitely had its highs and lows,” said Wilson. “I have been through some lows with injuries and coaching changes, but overall I’m really happy with my decision in coming here.”

Wilson graduated early from San Clemente

High School and was able to get on campus in time for spring practice in 2012. Two things were evident to him immediately. For one, he felt welcomed and sensed a tremendous feeling of brotherhood around him. Secondly, the jump from high school to college football was going to be a big one.

“My transition was very quick,” Wilson pointed out. “The game was definitely a lot faster and I just had to make quicker decisions. The tempo of the game and playing against a lot of bigger guys were the biggest adjustments.”

Wilson made an immediate impact his freshman year, playing in all 12 games and starting the last seven. By getting that valuable experience his first year, Wilson could see there was a lot of learning ahead of him. He continued to work hard, and nine games into his sophomore year he had already thrown for over 1,800 yards and 16 touchdowns before suffering a head injury against Arizona State in early November.

A CT scan to help evaluate lingering concussion symptoms revealed something far more serious, an intracranial artery abnormality, and it appeared Wilson’s career might be over. Fortunately, further tests during the offseason cleared Wilson to resume playing.

While he was happy to be back on the field, Wilson had started to take notice of more criticism of his play. It was at that point he accepted the fact that, as the starting quarterback for a major college program, he would always be second guessed by fans over every mistake he made on the field. However, he was determined to not let it affect him.

“Not letting any of the haters or outside noise distract you and to just keep on playing football is the most important thing,” said Wilson. He believes that “just keeping a level-head and staying humble” helps him not get caught up in the pressure of competing in a conference like the Pac-12.

Last season, Travis Wilson threw for 2,170 yards and 18 touchdowns. He was the last quarterback in the country to throw an interception, making it through the first eight games. Even though Wilson will always remember being named the MVP of the 2014 Las Vegas Bowl against Colorado State, his most memorable play as a quarterback came earlier in his junior year.

“It was our game-winning touchdown against USC,” Wilson said. “It was a huge drive leading up to that final play. There were just a lot of good things that happened, and once we scored that touchdown it was probably one of my greatest moments.”

Wilson is one of just three four-year starting quarterbacks in Utah history, setting the school record (continued on page 26)

UTE SENIOR PROFILE

END OF THE ROAD Backup offensive tackle Andrew Albers hasn’t seen much of the limelight at Utah, but he has enjoyed his football career as much as anyone.

By Dominic Nguyen Utah Athletics Communications

A

s Utah’s seniors make their final appearance today at Rice-Eccles Stadium, much of the focus will be on those who have broken school records, are in contention for postseason honors, and could play at the next level.

But there are other guys who have bled, sweat and sacrificed just as much as the stars of this year’s team; guys who love the game equally as much, but were just happy to make it as a Division I football player. Senior offensive tackle Andrew Albers is one of those individuals, and he couldn’t be more appreciative for what football has given him.

Albers’ parents have always been his biggest supporters in everything he has done, and his father was convinced he would become a football player.

“My dad was a huge influence on me playing football,” Albers said. “Since I was about three, he told me I was going to be a football player. ‘You’re going be 6’7”, that’s what the doctor said. You’re going to be a big kid and you’re going to play football.’ It wasn’t that he was saying I was forced to play football; it was that I was destined to play football. That reinforcement and encouragement as a kid helped me believe it because that’s what I wanted to do.

“When I was younger, my mom didn’t want me to play football because she was scared I would get hurt, so I didn’t start until high school,” Albers continued. “Ever since I started though, she loved it.

She’s been supportive. She comes to watch every game and she’s a huge football fan now, which wasn’t like her before.”

Albers is a natural-born athlete and the skills he developed playing other sports have helped him on the football field.

“I played four sports in high school: basketball, football, track & field and volleyball,” said Albers.

“I played center in basketball, middle blocker in volleyball, and threw the shot put and discus in track & field. Basketball has translated to my offensive line skills 100 percent. You have to move your feet, get in position, and the idea of keeping your body in front of someone—especially as a post player—really translates over.”

Not always an offensive tackle, Albers played wide receiver and tight end in high school. He laughs as he recalls his days of catching passes and then making the transition to the offensive line.

“It wasn’t all at once, so it wasn’t too difficult,” Albers said. “I started off freshman year catching passes. We didn’t do very much, we were 0-10. In the last three games the coaches saw I could actually catch, and I went up to JV and varsity and switched to tight end in a completely different system. I didn’t

really fit into that, so I talked to the offensive line coach. I told him I felt like I was useless, and he told me that they could use the extra guys. The rest is history, as they say.”

Albers didn’t enjoy the luxuries most Division I recruits are afforded, and was forced to take a very different path to get to where he is today.

“I was in high school, set to graduate early. I went to a super small school, graduated with some 200 kids. Nobody thought of college or any of that,” Albers recalled. “I was getting letters in the mail for schools and camps and whatnot, and never ended up getting an offer. Utah came in and told me they couldn’t offer a scholarship, but they would let me

walk on. I graduated early and came here for my first semester. Money was tight as a walkon. I had some family stuff going on, and for other reasons I ended up going to a community college.”

Albers’ commitment and dedication paid off during his two seasons at Orange Coast College. He met a great coach who helped improve his game and get him recruited back to Utah, but this time on scholarship.

“Community college is such an undervalued way to progress your football skills,” Albers said. “In my second year of community college, I started getting a bunch of offers, which was completely different than the first time. At community college, everyone starts to recognize you. I always had a special place in my heart for Utah after the first time I had come here. I had an official visit, was offered a scholarship, and I signed my letter of intent a couple of days after that. It all happened superfast and this was the only place on my mind.”

Before he committed to join the Utes for a second time, Albers quit football for a brief period in 2011 because he felt he had a different calling in life.

“I think every kid at some point in their life

thinks about giving up football, it all gets difficult,” Albers explained. “I had a religious experience where I went to a camp and I found out I really liked working with kids and teaching them. I left football, went home, and I ended up teaching some kids at my local high school and some other kids in the youth group at our church.”

His father’s support helped him pursue his calling, but Albers felt a void in his life. That void was football, and once again his father fully supported him in his decision to reverse course.

“I talked to my dad and told him I had made a huge mistake, and he told me to quit my job and that he’d explain everything to my mom. He told me it was something he felt like I needed to do, especially if I wanted to do it. That’s how my dad is. Whatever I wanted to do, he told me to go do it. He could tell in my voice that I needed to play football.”

Torn between his faith and football at one point, Albers has since found a middle ground.

“I think they coincide a lot. I don’t think you really have to find a balance because they both feed off of each other,” he said. “They’re both about being disciplined and knowing a lot about yourself. It’s not

something I’ve ever found to be hard. It’s a big benefit.

There are a lot of guys out there that play football who are faithful, and it’s a huge help to each part of who they are.”

While Albers’ career is soon coming to a close, football will always be a big part of his life. He couldn’t be more thankful for his time in the game and with the Utes.

“There are a lot of memorable moments,” he said. “For me, last year when we beat USC, being from Southern California, it was a really good time. Going to Michigan and beating them was another one. Aside from football, meeting all my friends and meeting my girlfriend, it’s been great and everything’s been awesome.”

But Albers also knows the time has come to call it a career.

“I’ve had three surgeries in the last two years and it’s not that I want to quit, but everyone comes to that point,” Albers explained. “Some days I wake up and I’m so sore I can barely stand up. I’m 22, almost 23, and that’s probably not normal. My body is telling me its time.”

TRAVIS WILSON

(continued from page 24) with 37 starts and ranking second with 22 wins. This season, Wilson ranks 25th in the nation with a 64.7 completion percentage, and has thrown for 1,916 yards and 12 touchdowns. He is also Utah’s secondleading rusher with 113 carries for 434 yards and six scores, and ranks second among Pac-12 quarterbacks with 43.4 rushing yards per game.

As he closes in on the end of his career, Wilson continues to climb the school leader boards and ranks in the top four in categories such as completions, passing yards, touchdown passes, total offense and total touchdowns. And he has done it all with a different offensive coordinator every year.

The desire to perform at his best every week doesn’t come from the need for publicity, but rather the love of his teammates.

“Ultimately, it’s just about playing for everybody on this team,” Wilson said. “Just the knowledge that we know we can have a special season, and we are doing great so far. I’m just trying to do the best I can for this team.”

Wilson is determined to end his four-year journey on a high note and give it all he has, even if that means sacrificing himself in every game. A

Travis Wilson ranks second among Pac-12 quarterbacks with 43.4 rushing yards per game. typical quarterback usually shies away from taking big hits, but not Wilson. Even after his injury scare a few years ago, Wilson isn’t afraid to put his body on the line to make a play for his team.

“I just want to do everything I can to get the extra yard or get another first down. How I play is simply just doing it for my team,” said Wilson.

While Wilson believes he is someone who is looked to up to by his peers, he also knows he would not be successful without his teammates.

“I would say a lot of people look up to me as a leader. I know our offense definitely looks up to me to get them rolling. I definitely couldn’t do it without any of the guys on this team and I give all the credit back to them,” he said.

Through all of the ups and downs the past four years, Wilson believes facing adversity has only made him a better person. Football has helped shape him not only into the player but also the person he has become. Wilson feels his setbacks have served as life lessons to help him grow.

“The biggest thing I have learned is to just never give up, even when you hit low points in your life,” Wilson said. “I think football has just helped me grow as a person and helped build my character. That is something I can hopefully carry on, and just never get down on myself and keep on pushing. Never let a low affect my whole life.”

EVANS AND REDDISH AWARD WINNERS

Don Reddish Award – Amy Hogue

U Occie Evans Award – Kate Dickman

K

ate Dickman of the Ute softball team earned the 2014-15 Occie Evans Award, honoring Utah’s top senior female athlete in a team sport.

Dickman was a three-time All-Pac-12 player and was named to the inaugural All-Defensive Team by the conference last season. She also earned second team NFCA All-Pacific Region honors and capped her scholastic career by being named a Pac-12 All-Academic selection for a third time.

The senior outfielder ranked third in the conference with a .448 batting average, while recording career-highs in doubles (20), home runs (9) and total bases (124) this season. She also scored a team-high 48 runs, drove in 35 RBI, collected 124 bases and posted a career-high .761 slugging percentage. An outstanding defensive player, Dickman had seven assists, including three on runners trying to score.

For her career, she finished with a school-record 61 doubles and ranks second all-time in batting average (.370), runs scored (159), sacrifice flies (8), third in hits (249), fourth in triples (12) and fifth in runs batted in (134).

“This award is very special to me and I’m so excited for Kate to receive the honor this year,” softball head coach Amy Hogue said. “Kate was a captain for the past two years, and as a senior she led us to an NCAA postseason appearance and a top 25 finish. She had an outstanding senior season and she is very deserving of the Occie Evans Award.”

tah softball head coach Amy Hogue was the recipient of the 2014-15 Don Reddish Award. The award is presented annually to the coach of a sport other than football, men’s and women’s basketball and gymnastics, who is deemed to have had the most successful season the previous year.

“Amy has done an outstanding job of elevating our softball program in the Pac-12 and is very deserving of the recognition that has been bestowed upon her,” Utah Senior Associate Athletics Director Nona Richardson said. “She will be the first to say that it is not about her, but about her staff and the student-athletes who have bought in to what it takes to be competitive at this level.”

Hogue, the 2015 Pac-12 Coach of the Year, became the first Utah coach to win postseason honors since Mona Stevens was given the award in 2000 when the softball program was still a member of the Mountain West Conference.

Hogue, who has spent eight seasons at the helm, led the Utes to a 36-19 overall record in 2015 and a berth in the NCAA tournament. Utah had a successful Pac-12 season, earning series victories over Stanford, Oregon State and No. 22 Arizona State on the road, as well as No. 16 Cal and No. 15 Arizona at home. The Utes also split with No. 20 Washington giving them victories in six of their eight conference matchups.

This past season Utah had a program-best six all-conference selections and also had two players named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman squad. Utah had five allconference selections in 2012 and 2013, followed by three honorees in 2014.

Utah also had six players named to the Pac-12 All-Academic team this past season, setting another standard for the program. It was the best scholastic performance for the program since it placed eight players on the Mountain West Conference All-Academic Team in 2008.

GYMNASTICS PREVIEW

CONTINUITY IN A SEASON OF CHANGE

The Utes were the runner-up at the 2015 NCAA Championships by a mere five-hundredths of a point.

Megan Marsden and Tom Farden have taken over the program, but not much else will be different with the Red Rocks in 2016.

By Liz Abel Utah Athletics Communications

T

wo adages seem custom fit for the 2016 Utah gymnastics team: the more things change, the more they stay the same and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Last April, two days after Utah placed second at the NCAA Championships—a mere five-hundredths of a point shy of an 11th national championship— longtime coach Greg Marsden retired. While the legendary coach, who led Utah to unprecedented heights in his 40 years, was certainly a mainstay, so are his replacements.

Megan Marsden returns for her seventh year as Utah’s co-head coach and her 32nd year on the coaching staff. Joining her in the title role of co-head coach is Tom Farden, Utah’s assistant coach for the past five years and a former successful head coach at Southeast Missouri State.

Said Megan Marsden of her new coaching partner, “Tom and I began preparing for the transition a year ago when Greg informed us of his intent to retire and we feel like we make a great team. We have defined the roles that we think put us in the best position to keep Utah gymnastics among the elite

programs in the country.”

Those roles have expanded to include a new assistant coach, Meredith (King) Paulicivic, who is also well versed in Utah gymnastics as a former Ute All-American and member of two NCAA Championship teams.

Given the familiarity of the current coaching staff, the change that will be most noticeable to fans is the loss of a magnificent senior class that featured four AllAmericans, three Pac-12 all-around champions and an NCAA champion. Even that blow won’t temper Utah’s expectations for the coming season assures Farden.

“While we graduated one of the best senior classes in school history, I expect for some our returners to emerge as the new stars, along with a very good freshman class. Our goal is the same as it always is at Utah; to be on the floor competing for a national title on the last day of the NCAA Championships.”

While the staff has implemented a few new ideas during the preseason, no wholesale changes are in store.

“We’ve won back-to-back Pac-12 Championships and we finished second in the nation last year, so a big part of our philosophy is ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,’” said Farden.

Utah returns five All-Americans: seniors Kailah Delaney, Breanna Hughes and Kassandra Lopez, and sophomores Kari Lee and Samantha Partyka. Other starters and key contributors back from Utah’s 2015 NCAA runner-up team are junior Baely Rowe and sophomores Tiffani Lewis and Maddie Stover.

Making their Ute debuts at the annual Red Rocks Preview on Dec. 11 will be freshmen Shannon McNatt, MaKenna Merrell, Erika Muhaw and Sabrina Schwab.

Their credentials include several high finishes at the Junior Olympic Championships and two elite qualifiers (McNatt and Schwab). Also looking to crack the lineup is senior Haley Lange.

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!

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’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!

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!

ADMINISTRATION

Year at Utah: 29th 1987-present: Director of Athletics 1998-present: Special Assistant to the President

J

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 29th year at Utah, he is the nation’s longest actively tenured athletics director at the same school in the NCAA FBS.

Among Hill’s most monumental accomplishments 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. 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 (200409), 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 12-4 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 14 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 28 years with Hill as AD—and the ski team has finished first or 58 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL

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 1975-79 (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; two granddaughters, Addie and Lily, and a grandson, Jack.
