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.

CAMPUS LIFE

A lively residential living experience is provided in the beautiful Heritage Commons, which served as the Athletes Village for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games.

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).

GAME NOTES

Last Week Justin Thomas’ ‘pick six’ with 7:58 left in the game doused any hopes for a Michigan comeback and Utah cruised to a 24-17 win before a record Rice-Eccles Stadium crowd of 47,825.

Devontae Booker rushed for 69 yards and added seven receptions for 55 yards. True freshman Britain Covey chipped in five receptions for 58 yards in his Ute debut.

UTE SENIOR PROFILE

Jason Whittingham was Utah’s second-leading tackler in 2013 with 81 stops, including five tackles for loss.

AN IDENTITY OF HIS OWN Linebacker Jason Whittingham hopes a healthy senior year will distinguish him in a football-crazed family.

By Chalis Benda Utah Athletics Communications

F

ootball is a family affair for the Whittinghams, and for the past quarter century their name has been synonymous with Utah football. This fall, one of the family’s best is hoping for an eventful end to his playing career at the U.

While the end is nearing for what has been a seven-year odyssey for Whittingham since he committed to the Utes in 2009, his ties to the program go all the way back to 1992 when his grandfather, Fred, a BYU defensive assistant from 1973-81, became the defensive coordinator at Utah. It was a move that eventually impacted the allegiances of an entire family.

“I started playing tackle football in seventh or eighth grade. It looked fun,” Whittingham said.

“I also played baseball, soccer and basketball, but football was something everyone did in my family

since my grandpa. I felt like I had to as well.”

Jason’s father, Cary, and two of his uncles played football at BYU; that included Kyle, who was an all-WAC linebacker for the Cougars. The Whittinghams were a BYU family through and through until Fred made the move up north. Kyle followed his dad to the U. as the defensive line coach in 1994, took over for Fred as defensive coordinator in 1995, and has been head coach since 2005. The rest, as they say, is history.

“I did grow up wanting to go to BYU because all my uncles and dad played there. But after Kyle became head coach, I made a transition when I was about 12 years old to want to play for Utah instead. And, BYU didn’t offer me a scholarship,”Whittingham said with a chuckle.

Jason has played with three of his cousins at Utah: Kyle’s sons Tyler, from 2009-11, and Alex, who is a sophomore; and Fred Jr.’s son Sam, who is a freshman.

But when it comes to the dynamic of football and family, he knows when to separate the two.

“It is a lot of fun having the family around, but it puts me in a different position than almost every other player on the team because the head coach is my uncle,” Whittingham related. “You have to separate family from football when you are in different situations and settings. Even if I had the choice of my uncle being here and being my coach or him not being here and not being my coach, I would want him to be here. It gives me a whole new energy level and motivation level to play harder and that much better. I just want to go out there and represent my family.”

Whittingham has suffered an injury of some sort each season that he has played for the Utes. His most productive year was 2013 when he earned honorable mention All-Pac-12 honors after starting 10 games and finishing second on the team with 81 tackles.

He has missed a total of 12 games during his career, including eight last year, but his injury woes have not stopped him from playing his hardest.

“I’m not scared to get injured when I go out there,” Whittingham emphasized. “I think it motivates me to play hard because the harder you play, the less chance of injury you have. It also makes me want to (continued on page 25) 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL 23

UTE SENIOR PROFILE

Senior tight end Evan Moeai had a catch for a five-yard gain last week against Michigan before suffering a season-ending injury.

FAMILY STRONG From his childhood, to his time with the Utes, and on to married life, family has meant everything to Evan Moeai.

By Eric Doughty Utah Athletics Communications

W

hen Sister Sledge sang it and the Pittsburgh Pirates adopted “We are Family” as their theme song on the way to the 1979 World Series championship, Utah senior tight end Evan Moeai hadn’t even been born yet. But the old-school disco hit could very well be the soundtrack for Moeai’s life story.

Born the youngest of six kids, Moeai understands more than most what it means to be part of a family.

“Growing up, all of my older siblings kind of turned to athletics because they all seemed to be pretty good at it,” Moeai said. “Having older siblings that had the same interests as me was great. I wanted to follow in their footsteps and it was a huge part of 24 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL

why I migrated towards sports.

“My dad was also huge into sports and was my biggest fan,” Moeai continued. “He was probably the biggest motivator for me playing football. He passed away last year, but got to come to a few of the games that I played in before he passed on.”

As a senior at Mountain View High School in Orem, Utah, Moeai didn’t put up the type of numbers that drew the attention of college coaches. Catching a total of seven passes the entire season, he received few accolades.

“About a year after high school, my brotherin-law who played at BYU wanted me to work out

with him and one of the BYU quarterbacks. The BYU quarterback ended up transferring to Snow College and wanted to take me with him. So, I had a tryout the day after we threw and the rest is history.”

It was during his time at Snow when Moeai matured as an athlete and experienced a muchneeded growth spurt. As a redshirt freshman, Moeai was second on the team with 32 catches for 375 yards and eight touchdowns, including a 21-yard touchdown catch in the Carrier Dome Bowl.

“It was a great transition school for me,” Moeai said of Snow College. “Out of high school, I was really undersized. My family members are all really late bloomers, so that was great for me to gain some size and speed and really transition to Division I football.”

Moeai’s success caught the attention of the Utah coaches, who signed him after his redshirt freshman season. However, playing for Utah was not something that Moeai envisioned while growing up.

“I used to be a BYU fan,” Moeai said in a hushed voice. “I had been my whole life, and my family had

UTE SENIOR PROFILE

been too. If there was anywhere I didn’t want to play while growing up it was probably the U. But it couldn’t have been a better place for me to end up.

“I felt like a part of the team right away,” Moeai continued. “I know that everyone always talks about a family atmosphere, but it is real here. Another big thing was that I wanted to be close to home. My family is a big part of my life and I wanted to be close to them.”

The tight end position was one of the more interesting and hotly-contested battles of fall camp.

Moeai received stiff competition from junior Siale Fakailoatonga for the starting role and recognized the benefit it has had for him as well as other players who are in the same situation.

“I think competition has been a great thing for us in the offseason,” Moeai stated. “None of us have been comfortable because of it, and it has made us better in different areas. Siale and I complement each other pretty well as tight ends. He is a great run blocker and pass catcher as well. Being together has just made us better.”

Everything was in line for Moeai to have a careerdefining senior year entering last week’s opener against Michigan. He earned the start in the Utes’ 24-17 win and had a catch for a five-yard gain in the first quarter before suffering a season-ending injury. A fifth-year senior, Moeai would need to apply for a medical hardship

waiver for a sixth year of eligibility.

“He has indicated that he wants to pursue that,” head coach Kyle Whittingham said. “So we will do everything in our power to get him a sixth year.”

Moeai will finish his bachelor’s degree in exercise and sport science this fall. The experience of being a student-athlete has helped him learn how to manage his time efficiently.

“It is not easy, that’s for sure,” Moeai explained.

“Football takes up so much of your time, and on top of that you have to go to school. Something that I learned when I first got here is that you have to manage your time wisely. You don’t have a lot of down time to hangout, or else you will be scraping at the end of the semester to get good grades. Life is just going to get busier as I go on. When you get into the real world you will have work, maybe more school or whatever else you have going on, and you will also have your family at home. I think it is crucial for us to learn how to manage our time.”

The primary person in Moeai’s family life now is his wife, Samantha, who has remained a constant through his ups and downs.

“She is a huge motivation to me,” Moeai confided. “Every time I have a bad practice or something goes wrong, I always go to her and talk to her about my issues. Being married, you are getting

She is a huge source of support as well.”

For Evan Moeai, “We are Family” is more than just a song. It is a way of life.

JASON WHITTINGHAM

Jason Whittingham (continued from page 23) play hard because I know it might be my last time.

“Probably one of the top five hardest things I’ve ever had to do in my life was sitting out and not being able to play, especially during the games I wanted to play in the most,”Whittingham continued. “I think it taught me a good lesson to be patient and just trust everything will work out. I just have to keep working hard.”

Whittingham attributes his calmness to his two-year LDS mission experience in South Carolina.

That experience has served him well in adverse times, but it was also a difficult transition to return to the football field.

“It was definitely a mindset change, transitioning from a calm mentality all day to trying to be aggressive and violent,” Whittingham explained. “But my mission also helped prepare me mentally for the routine of football and college, and to be punctual. It really helped me prioritize what I need to do. It disciplines you. It gives you a daily routine, kind of like football does.”

Whittingham feels he has done everything he can to come back stronger this season. He wants to

play for himself, but also for his family.

“I have been doing a lot of workouts on my own this offseason apart from the team workouts, just trying to get as strong and fast as I can. I am just trying to make a name for myself this season so that I can possibly have a future playing at the next level. I am also trying to represent my family well, especially my dad and grandpa who have played before me.”

Whittingham will earn a degree in exercise and sports science in December. If a career in the NFL doesn’t work out, he will look into getting a master’s degree in physical or occupational therapy.

As he looks forward to his senior season, Whittingham has set some goals for himself as well as the team.

“Personally, I want to play enough to get All-Pac-12 honors; stay healthy all season and play in all 13 games,” Whittingham said. “I want the team to have that family mentality that we are close, that everyone is a friend on the team. We want to make it to the Pac-12 Championship game. If we get to that point, then we will set new goals and try to make it to College Football Playoffs.”

2015 UTAH FOOTBALL 25

WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY PREVIEW

Sarah Feeny was Utah’s top finisher at the Pac-12 and NCAA regional championships last year as a freshman.

EXPERIENCED TEAM RETURNS FOR UTES IN 2015

By Eric Doughty Utah Athletics Communications

C

oming off a successful 2014 campaign, the Utah cross country team heads into its fifth season as a member of the Pac-12 Conference with high expectations. The Utes return four of their top five runners from last season as head coach Kyle Kepler enters his 11th year at the helm.

“Experience is hard to gain,” Kepler explained. “I think experience is invaluable, but at the same time we are still going to be young by the standards of some of the other teams. We have some growing to do and I think that we have room to grow. What we need to do is take what we learned last year, move forward and see if we can make another big leap.”

Leading the pack of returning runners is sophomore Sarah Feeny. Feeny led Utah at the Pac12 Championships (41st) and at the NCAA Regional Championships (32nd), falling just shy of qualifying for the national meet. She also represented the United States this summer in the Pan American Junior 26 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL

Championships, where she finished third in the 1,500.

“Sarah had issues with iron last year, but I think we have that solved,” Kepler said. “We are not going to see her until October because of the long track season she had. That is something that we planned for and were ready for it. I feel very confident that she will be ready to go when we need her at the end of the season.”

Following closely in Feeny’s footsteps will be junior Jessica Sams and sophomore Shaylen Crook. Sams finished the 2014 cross country season with arguably two of the best performances of her collegiate career, finishing 53rd at the Pac-12 Championships and 37th at the NCAA Regional Championships. Crook recorded an impressive freshman season, finishing sixth at the Nevada Twilight Classic and 44th at the Washington Invitational with a personal-best time of 21:18.

The addition of senior transfer Jocelyn Todd from Iowa will also help bolster the 2015 lineup. Todd comes to Utah with one year of eligibility. She recorded her best Big Ten Cross Country Championships finish in 2014, when she crossed the line in 72nd place.

Working towards her Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, Kepler will look to Todd to not only be a leader on the track, but in the classroom as well.

“Jocelyn will bring more experience and some different ideas to the table,” Kepler stated. “She has been through the rigors of collegiate cross country and distance running in general. Hopefully, she will be able to relay her experience to our younger runners.”

After redshirting the entire 2014-15 season, senior Susannah Hurst is hopeful of making an impact in her final cross country campaign as a Ute. In 2013, Hurst finished 19th at the NCAA Regional Championships.

“She has looked really good, in terms of the summer training,” Kepler said of Hurst. “She has her mile times up high again, but when you haven’t raced for a year it is always interesting. We will get her some early races to get her back into that mode, but she looks good and she looks fit. We certainly like to think that she will be in our scoring five and will be a big difference-maker for us in her final year. “

Other runners returning include senior Andrea Chavez, who finished in the top 50 at the Pac-12 and NCAA Regional Championships in 2013. Sophomore Hannah McInturff competed at the NCAA Regional Championships for the Utes last year. Junior Makenzie Clark, junior Giselle Slotboom, junior Dana Snell, sophomore Dakota Grossman, sophomore Becky Sarmiento, and sophomore Sadie Wassum also have experience under their belts for the Utes. Senior Kate Stringfellow is returning following a two-year LDS church mission while freshman Claire MacMillan redshirted in her first season in 2014.

The 2015 freshman class is once again saturated with talent as the Utes add five skilled studentathletes in Hannah Allred, Caitlin Faust, Millika Holbrook, Lauren Roberts and Megan Spehar.

Highlighting this freshmen group will be Faust, who won the Georgia state 4A championships in the 800 and finished third in the state at the 2014 cross country championships.

“Every freshman class is a little bit different,” Kepler explained. “I think that Caitlin Faust is a little more experienced on the track, but I think that there is enough talent there that we could see her break into that group that gives us some depth. Hannah Allred is another product of Ogden High for us. We now have a junior, a sophomore and a freshman from Ogden High.

They have been good to us with the kids that they have produced. If she can have the same gradual increase in performance and development that Jessica Sams has had, we will be very happy.”

The Utes open their season at the Utah State Open on Sept. 5 in Logan, Utah. Utah hosts its home meet on Sept. 11 at Murray Park, with the men’s 6-km beginning at 3:00, followed by the women’s 4-km. The Pac-12 Championships take place Oct. 30 in Colfax, Wash., followed by the NCAA Regional Championships on Nov. 13 in Albuquerque, N.M., and the NCAA Championships on Nov. 21 in Louisville, Ky.

“Our ultimate goal is to qualify a full team for the NCAA Championships,” Kepler said. “I think that we are in a place with our program now where that is going to become the goal every year. We haven’t done it yet, but I think we are inching our way there. In the Pac-12 we want to finish in the top half. If your team is in the top half in the league, you are going to have a really good chance to make it to the NCAA meet. Ninth in the Pac-12 was disappointing a year ago, but I think that if we train well and can stay healthy, we will be our best road to a successful season.”

Jessica Sams had a great finish to last season, including a 37th-place finish at the NCAA regionals.

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL PREVIEW on this season, she does have the luxury of bringing back veteran setter Kendall Cygan, whom she will look on to lead this squad during her senior campaign.

“Kendall has a lot of experience for us,” said Launiere. “She has been a three-year player in this program and I think that she is ready to go in terms of being that senior leader. She understands what it takes and she knows that she has the most experience of anyone else on the team.”

Launiere will also rely on the senior leadership of Brenna DeYoung, as well as a pair of juniors in Tess Sutton and Alyssa Koenig, who will look to increase their roles heading into the new season.

Utah also has the luxury of returning three sophomores who played a key role in the Utes’ run to the postseason last year. Outside hitters Adora Anae and middle blocker Carly Trueman return to the court and all three players know that their individual roles will change as the team heads into the new year.

“I think Adora’s experience with the USA Women’s Junior National Team this past summer is going to be good for her.,” Launiere predicted. “She handled a lot of responsibility on a team where she was one of the older ones and I think that was vital for her. On the court, she is going to have a very large role for us.”

Sophomore outside hitter Adora Anae is averaging 4.29 kills per set through seven matches this season.

UTES RELOAD FOR RUN AT THIRD STRAIGHT NCAA BERTH

By Dameon Myers Assistant Director – Utah Athletics Communications

F

ollowing a second-consecutive NCAA appearance in 2014, the Utah Volleyball team will again be looking to make a run into the postseason in 2015.

Despite losing six seniors from last season’s squad that went 20-13 overall, 9-11 in Pac-12 play and went to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, head coach Beth Launiere feels that this year’s team is ready for the next challenge.

“I am really excited about the good, young talent that we have going into the season,” the 26th-year head coach said. “The team is going to look a lot different than it did last season, but we are embracing that. We know that losing as much experience as we did from last year –with the six seniors–that these current players are going

to have to step up into some new roles. These players are going to take on new dynamics and new leadership roles, not to mention the fact that we are also introducing a new staff. I still think it is going to be an exciting year and a new base for us to build from again.”

The Utes will head into the 2015 campaign with just three seniors to go along with three juniors, four sophomores, three redshirt freshmen and four incoming freshmen, but Launiere knows that the young core of players that she returns has the experience needed to build off of last season’s team – a squad that swept Kansas State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament and lost a hard-fought, five-set battle against Nebraska on its home court.

While Launiere may not have six seniors to count

SETTERS

Utah enters the season with three setters on the current roster, including four-year veteran Kendall Cygan, redshirt freshman Jessie Jorgensen and incoming freshman Emily Twohig.

With 95 starts in her career, Cygan brings experience to the position, but Jorgensen did manage to compete in nine matches in 2014 before an injury sidelined her for the remainder of the season.

Cygan, who tallied 543 assists (4.98/set) last season, heads into the 2015 campaign ranked No. 7 alltime with 1,864 career assists. Meanwhile, Jorgensen will look to pick-up where she left off from last season, after tallying a total of 87 assists (4.14/set) and recording five service aces, as well.

OUTSIDE/RIGHT SIDE HITTERS

All-Pac-12 Freshman Team selection Adora Anae returns for sophomore campaign, along with classmate Eliza Katoa. Emma Kirst will look to make an impact for the Utes this season after sitting out a redshirt season in 2014 and incoming transfers Bailee Kendall and Madison Legerski will also look to provide a spark for the Utes on the outside in 2015.

Anae is coming off a freshman season when she tallied 280 kills (2.46/set) and recorded a total of 70 blocks (10 solo) for the Utes . Anae was a key player for the Utes down the stretch in 2014, recording double-digit kill totals in six of her last eight games, which included a 2015 UTAH FOOTBALL 49

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL PREVIEW MIDDLE BLOCKERS Sophomore Carly Trueman returns as Utah’s most experienced player at middle blocker position. The Utes also bring back senior Brenna DeYoung and junior Alyssa Koenig to provide help at the net. A pair of highly touted incoming freshmen in Megan Boudreaux and Berkeley Oblad will also look for playing time with the Utes in 2015.

After sitting out as a redshirt in 2013, Trueman managed to record 178 kills (1.66/set) and rank second on the team with 113 blocks (1.06/set) a year ago. Trueman was named the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week on Nov. 10, 2014 after collecting 14 kills and hitting .632 in a pair of matches against UCLA and USC.

DeYoung tallied 15 kills and 16 total blocks in nine matches for the Utes last season, while Koenig saw action in four matches.

Boudreaux was ranked the No. 7 player in the state of Utah with 63 blocks and a .332 hitting percentage.

A two-time all-state selection, Boudreaux helped lead Bingham High School to four-consecutive state tournament appearances.

Oblad was a 2014 Under Armour High School Second Team All-American following her senior campaign at Coronado High School in Henderson, Nev. She ranked as the No. 34 player on the National PrepVolleyball. com Senior Ace list, as well. She tallied a .440 hitting percentage that ranked first in the state of Nevada.

LIBERO/DEFENSIVE SPECIALISTS

The Utes bring back junior Tess Sutton to the libero postion, while also returning sophomore McCall Phillips and redshirt freshman Caroline Sipiora. Incoming freshman Megan Shughrou will provide depth for the Utes in the back row.

Sutton is coming off a 2014 season when she saw action in 28 matches and tallied 96 digs for a 1.41 digsper-set average. Phillips saw action in two matches for the Utes last season, while Sipiora returns after sitting out out the 2014 campaign.

Shughrou was a three-year letterwinner at Chaparral High School out of Temecula, Calif., where she named a two-time defensive player of the year and a 2014 All-Southwestern League selection, as well.

SCHEDULE

Utah is 5-2 entering a tournament in Louisville, Ky., this weekend, and returns home for the its annual Deseret First Duel Challenge with BYU on Sept. 17. The Utes open Pac-12 play against Colorado in the Huntsman Center on Sept. 23.

Utah’s other Pac-12 home matches include hosting UCLA (Oct. 9) and USC (Oct. 11), Stanford (Oct. 16) and California (Oct. 18), Oregon (Oct. 30) and Oregon State (Nov. 1), Arizona (Nov. 12) and Arizona State (Nov. 14) before closing out the home schedule against Washington (Nov. 25).

Tess Sutton, a junior libero, has averaged 3.67 digs per set this season. season-high 20 kills in Utah’s second-round match against Nebraska in the NCAA Tournament.

Katoa recorded four double-digit kill efforts in 2014 and looked to be peaking late in the season, but a knee injury against Washington State forced the former Under Armour High School All-American to the sidelines for the remainder of the season.

Kendall recorded 307 kills at the College of Idaho last season after playing two years at Salt Lake Community College. Legerski was a two-time allregion selection at Casper College in Wyoming before transferring to Utah.

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.
