Chip LYDUM

Born at the University Of Washington Medical Center — a stone’s throw from Husky Stadium — Omare Lowe found the early road to his destiny which has been framed in football infamy. Honing his skills during a stellar career at Tahoma High, Omare was fulfilling his earliest dreams of pulling a Husky jersey over his broad shoulders. A four-year letterman (l9982001), who played his final two years at cornerback, Omare was a member of the 2000 Rose Bowl team that won the PAC-12 title and defeated Purdue, 34-24. Lowe went on to be drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the fifth round of the 2002 draft. He played for the Dolphins, Jets, Patriots, Falcons and Jaguars and was a part of the New England Patriots when they defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, 39-24 to win Super Bowl XXXIX (2005).

Greg METCALF

For over two decades, Greg Metcalf came to epitomize Washington cross country and track.A product of Ephrata,Wash., Metcalf made his mark as a Husky All-American distance runner from 1990-93. His passion for the sport led him into coaching, and soon he was back at his alma mater working with the distance program. In 2002, having served five years as assistant coach, Metcalf was named Washington’s 12th head track and field coach, and just the fifth since Clarence “Hec” Edmundson took the helm in 1919. Metcalf’s work with the men’s and women’s cross country teams helped develop each into national contenders, with historic finishes for each team, highlighted by an undefeated season for the 2008 women’s team and the program’s first NCAA title. The women’s squad also reached the podium in 2009, taking third, and again in 2011, as the NCAA runner-up.

Gary “Chip” Lydum is one of the longest-tenured employees of the UW athletic department. After having served in the United States Marine Corps, Lydum got his start in athletics as an undergraduate student before joining the sports information staff in the 1984. In 1991, he switched jobs to become the assistant to the athletic director, a job he held for three years before taking over as the UW athletic department’s associate athletic director for capital projects. In that role, he has overseen some of the most ambitious projects in the department’s history, including the construction of the Dempsey Indoor Practice Facility, Husky Ballpark and the Husky track and soccer facilities, along with the complete renovations of Hec Edmundson Pavilion and Husky Stadium, which re-opened to rave reviews in 2013.

He was a four-year letterman at safety, and served as a team captain as a senior. He helped lead the ferocious Husky defense to three straight Pac-10 titles and three Rose Bowls, and started all 12 games during the UW’s 1991 National Championship run. Shane was named to the First Team All-Pac 10 Academic team in 1990. He was also selected 2nd Team All-Pac-10 free safety in 1991 and 1992.

Eddie PASATIEMPO

Pasatiempo credits his experience as a university student and athlete, as well as friends and colleagues, for influencing him to become the successful person he is today. As a freshman on a full baseball scholarship, Eddie played the infield with sizzle and speed, making up with heart and soul what he lacked in size. Between Coach Bubba Morton and teammates, classmates and fraternity brothers, Eddie not only has embraced the qualities of those around him, he has put them to good use during his distinguished career.
