HEAD COACH | 16TH YEAR

A native of Colorado, Sanchez began his intercollegiate coaching career at New Mexico State in 1993 and quickly organized one of the nation’s top programs in the IHSA. Under his leadership, NMSU won national titles in 1995, 1997 and 1998.

Leading the Oklahoma State Equestrian program is head coach Larry Sanchez. Entering his 16th year at Oklahoma State, Sanchez continues to bring national and conference titles home to Stillwater year after year.

Sanchez moved to Stillwater to launch Oklahoma State’s team in 1999. In his 20-year coaching career, 14 of his qualifying teams have placed in the top four at the national level. Additionally, he has coached an impressive 23 riders to individual national championships and 13 riders to reserve championships.

Under the guidance of Sanchez, Oklahoma State Equestrian has made its presence known at the National Championships every year, winning National Championships in 2000, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2013. Sanchez also led the Cowgirls to Big 12 Championships in the 2009, 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons.

During his years leading the Oklahoma State program, Sanchez has earned a handful of individual coaching accolades. In 2013, he earned both NCEA and Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year honors after leading the Cowgirls to their third Big 12 Championship and third NCEA Western National Championship.

Last season, Sanchez added another impressive accomplishment to his resume, becoming the first coach in Big 12 Equestrian history to lead his team to three-consecutive Big 12 Championships.

During his time at Oklahoma State, Sanchez has coached numerous All-American and All-Big 12 selections. Since 2011, Stillwater has been home to 24 NCEA All-American selections and 16 All-Big 12 selections. Last season alone, the Cowgirl roster boasted seven All-Americans and five All-Big 12 riders.

Sanchez’s riders have found great collegiate success in the classroom as well. The program’s emphasis on academic success is evident in the team’s frequent appearances on Big 12 and NCEA honor rolls. In the last three years, the Cowgirls have earned 41 selections to Academic All-Big 12 teams. In the last two years, 40 Cowgirls have earned themselves spots on NCEA Honor Rolls. Sanchez has also had one Cowgirl earn the title of Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year in the first two years the league office has handed out the honor. Coach Sanchez completed the coursework for his M.A. in agricultural education at NMSU and received his B.S. in equine science from Colorado State. He is a carded judge, breeder and competitor within the American Quarter Horse Association. Larry and his wife, Julie, who is a registered nurse, have two children. Their son, Colton, is 18 years old, and their daughter, Caitlyn, is 16 years old.

COWGIRL EQUESTRIAN

THE BIG 12 CONFERENCE: A NATIONAL LEADER

The Big 12 enters its 18th year as it continues to promote the strength and success of one of the nation’s premier athletic conferences under the direction of second-year commissioner Bob Bowlsby. TCU and West Virginia joined the league on July 1, 2012 and became the Big 12’s first additions since inception, joining Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech. With 10 members, the Big 12 remains as the only major conference in the nation to determine its champions in all sports directly on the field of play with a full round-robin schedule. The Conference’s hard work ethic and strong values have translated to enormous success in its first 17 years. Since it began competition in 1996-97, the league can boast of 52 NCAA team titles and 537 individual national championships. The trophy case added more hardware in 2012-13 as Texas won the NCAA Championship in women’s volleyball and the Oklahoma State men’s cross country team captured its third national title in the last four seasons. Oklahoma State won the Western crown in equestrian while Oklahoma became one of just five programs to capture multiple national championships in softball. The year ended with Kansas hoisting its first NCAA trophy in women’s outdoor track and field. Additionally, the Big 12 picked up 20 individual national titles. Several other sports also made strong national showings a

year ago. Big 12 football sent a national-record 90 percent of its teams to bowl games. Women’s basketball claimed the top position in conference RPI for the sixth consecutive season and was the only league to place 80 percent of its teams in postseason play and 70 percent in the NCAA Championship. Baylor won the Big 12’s first men’s basketball NIT title. Kansas indoor track & field, Oklahoma women’s gymnastics and Oklahoma State wrestling finished as runner-up in their respective national championships. Additionally, Texas joined Oklahoma in the Softball College World Series while K-State and Oklahoma competed in baseball Super Regionals. Individually, Baylor center Brittney Griner earned consensus women’s basketball national player of the year for the second season. Oklahoma State’s Marcus Smart was named National Freshman of the Year by two different outlets, while Jeff Withey of Kansas was selected the National Association of Basketball Coaches Defensive Player of the Year. Texas volleyball head coach Jerritt Elliott received American Volleyball Coaches Association Coach of the Year honors. Oklahoma pitcher Keilani Ricketts repeated as the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year, giving the Big 12 two of the three all-time multiple winners as former Texas player Cat Osterman earned the award three times. Ricketts also claimed the Honda Award for softball for the second consecutive season. Kansas track & field head coach Stanley Redwine and assistant coach Wayne Pate each earned national accolades as the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) awarded the two with outdoor coach of the year honors.

The Big 12 lays claim to five Heisman Trophy winners since 1996 and has had a finalist in 12 of its 17 seasons – the most of any league. Seventeen athletes have earned major individual awards in football in the past five campaigns. Overall, more than 1,400 student-athletes have earned All-America recognition in the past five years alone. Through its first 17 years, the Big 12 has claimed a team national championship in 16 of the sports it sponsors. The Conference ranks second with seven appearances in the BCS National Championship Game and is second with 96 football consensus All-America selections in that time. League squads combined to lead the nation in women’s basketball attendance 13 consecutive years and the Big 12 is the only conference to surpass the one-million mark in season attendance – doing so six times. In men’s basketball, the league is the only conference in the nation where every coach has guided a team to the NCAA Tournament, including six coaches that have led teams to the Final Four. During the last nine years a total of 31 NCAA trophies have been hoisted by Big 12 institutions, with at least one national crown won in all but one year for the Conference, including 16 consecutive seasons. The Big 12 and its member institutions are committed to a competitive environment where sportsmanship and fair play take center stage. Whether on the field, in the classroom, or within the community, the student-athletes, administrators, coaches and game officials of the Big 12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship.

OKSTATE.COM | @OSUATHLETICS | @OSUEQUESTRIAN | @OSUCOACHSANCHEZ | #OKSTATE

THE BIG 12 CONFERENCE: A NATIONAL LEADER National academic accolades have always been strong in the Big 12. Danielle Robinson (Oklahoma) and Sam Acho (Texas) were selected to receive Today’s Top VIII Awards – one of the NCAA’s top honors. It recognizes student-athletes who completed their athletic eligibility during 2010-11 for success on the fields and courts, in the classroom and in the community. In the last two seasons, three studentathletes were recipients of the NCAA Elite 89 Award. That honor showcases individuals who have reached the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level, while also achieving the highest academic standard among their peers. In its short history, the Big 12 has had 537 Academic AllAmerica recipients, averaging more than 30 each season. Big 12 student-athletes have shown commitment to their studies by earning numerous individual academic recognitions. Nine times in the past eight years a league athlete has garnered the top academic honor for their respective sport. The Big 12 had plenty of success overall in the classroom the last four years, as the Conference boasted 80 student-athletes earning Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America recognition through the fall of 2012. The Big 12 can take pride in other stories that combine on and off the field success. Patience Knight (Texas Tech) was the recipient of the Honda Inspiration Award in 2008, given to an outstanding female college athlete who overcomes adversity to excel in her sport. She was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in 2007, but rebounded to win All-Americ honors at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships.

Oklahoma State women’s basketball was the inaugural recipient of the “Together We R” Team Award in 2012, recognizing programs that have strived to succeed in the face of adversity. Following a devastating tornado south of Oklahoma City just before the Big 12 Baseball Championship in 2013, several league baseball teams along with other student-athletes, coaches and former Conference players contributed help in a variety of ways. Plus, the Conference contributed $200,000 to the relief efforts. Competitive excellence, scholarship and sportsmanship are all equal components of the Big 12 philosophy. All-Big 12 teams and Academic All-Big 12 squads are recognized for each sport at the end of their respective seasons. At the end of each academic year, the Conference honors its top male and female student-athletes with the Big 12 Athlete of the Year and Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year awards. Institutions can also nominate student-athletes for the prestigious Dr. Prentice Gautt Postgraduate Scholarships. A total of 313 scholars have received near $2.2 million in postgraduate financial aid through the first 17 years of the program. The Big 12 sponsors 23 sports. Men’s squads include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, swimming & diving, tennis and wrestling. Women’s teams are fielded in basketball, cross country, equestrian, golf, gymnastics, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis and volleyball. Big 12 institutions create a league that encompasses five states and nearly 37 million people. More than 4,200 student-athletes from across the United States and around the World compete annually in the sports sponsored by the Conference. The Conference conducts postseason championships for 20 of its 23 sports. Each championship helps to determine teams and/or individuals that will represent the Conference in national postseason competition. The winner of the Big 12 football regular season championship earns the league’s berth into the Bowl Championship Series.

Lindsey McMullen

HISTORY Cowgirl senior Lindsey McMullen has made her mark during her time at Oklahoma State as a two-time All-American and two-time All-Big 12 recipient.

COWGIRL EQUESTRIAN

EQUESTRIAN HISTORY In 1998 the NCAA declared equestrian as an emerging sport. As of September of 2007, there are nineteen (19) Division 1 and four (4) Division II colleges and universities who participate at the varsity level with new programs being added every year. The average size of current women’s equestrian teams is 46 with a range from 20 to 100 athletes. From the Kentucky Derby, to the Olympics, to the Varsity Equestrian National Championship, equestrian sports are already in the American spotlight. Major national, satellite, and cable corporations already host the sport of equestrian. You can watch horses on NBC, ESPN, Outdoor Life Network, TVG, and College Sports TV to name a few. There are already weekly programs dedicated to the horse, one of which, the American Quarter Horse Association’s “America’s Horse” televises the Varsity Equestrian National Championship, the precursor to the NCAA Championship. To assist in promotion of Varsity Equestrian and to provide a media outlet for disbursement of the current news regarding equestrian, we are proud to announce the development of www.varsityequestrian.com, ‘The Official Web site of NCAA Varsity Equestrian’. Lastly, there are roughly 250 magazines, newspapers and newsletters devoted to horses; many of which already cover collegiate equestrian. In previous years, all collegiate equestrian competitions were conducted under the auspices of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA). Since its inaugural year in 2000, Varsity Equestrian has implemented a dual-meet format in competitions. Teams compete in four events: Hunter Seat Equitation Over Fences, Hunter Seat Equitation on the Flat, Western Horsemanship, and Reining. An equal number of riders from each team compete head-to-head on each event on the same set of horses. The lowest score is dropped before computing the team score.

POST-SEASON COMPETITION The Varsity Equestrian National Championships has become an annual competition since 2002. This competition will become the NCAA Championship. There are three titles at stake each year: the Overall Team Championship, the Hunt Seat Team Championship, and the Western Team Championship.

GOVERNANCE OF THE SPORT Varsity Equestrian Steering Committee: The heart of any organization is its people. Besides the outstanding athletes, Equestrian is fortunate to have coaches who give of their time to serve as leaders for the sport. Teamed with athletic administrators, these coaches comprise the Varsity Equestrian Steering Committee. The committee’s charge is to develop procedures, legislation, and advance the sport via promotion and corporate sponsors. An annual meeting of the entire steering committee is held annually at the USEF Headquarters in Lexington, Kentucky. United State Equestrian Federation (USEF): As the National Governing Body for equestrian sport in the United States and of Varsity Equestrian, USEF shares the sport with the world while advocating fairness, excellence and equine welfare in all aspects of horsemanship and competition. USEF sends athletes and teams of the highest caliber to represent our country at home and abroad. Through more than 2,800 recognized competitions in 27 breeds and disciplines, and with 86,000 members USEF continues to grow and acknowledge equestrian athletes at every level. Learn more about USEF at www.usef.org. American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA): With more than 350,000 worldwide members and 4.5 million registered American Quarter Horses in 80 different countries, the American Quarter Horse Association is the world’s largest equine association and a strong supporter of Varsity Equestrian. AQHA offers diverse programs for all types and levels of horse owners, from competitive to recreation. Annually, AQHA approves around 2,900 horse shows and special events that culminate at three different World Championships: the AQHA Youth World Show, the AQHA Open/Amateur World Show and the AQHA Select World Show. In all, over 927,000 entries compete year-round at the AQHA approved shows. Visit www.aqha.com for more information. The Varsity Equestrian Steering Committee is working diligently to advance equestrian from emerging to full championship status. The horse industry stands firmly behind the sport and is working hand-in-hand to lay a solid foundation on which the

sport can continue to grow and expand.

EQUESTRIAN HISTORY In hunt seat equitation and horsemanship events, it is the rider and not the horse that is being judged. The actions of the horse are important only as they reflect on the horsemanship of the rider. Thus it is possible for a rider whose horse “acts up” to be placed among the winners because in the judges’ opinion she met the problem skillfully and solved it. Conversely, a seemingly good ride may mean nothing more than a placed horse carrying an unwitting passenger. The rider is always being judged in horsemanship classes, whether the class calls for jumping or whether it is run “on the flat” without jumps. Judging equitation classes is not done by a mathematical formula. Judges are usually looking for style of riding, accuracy and judgment in the use of the aids (hands, seat and legs), suppleness and lightness of hands and a general impression of complete, quiet control. The program description of equitation classes makes reference to tests for riders in the different classes. This refers to the test of horsemanship that has been established by the American Horse Shows Association for all recognized shows and is published in the annual rulebook. Equitation judges must choose from these individual tests in judging horsemanship. The common criteria are: Posture: The position of the body, the legs, the hands, the head and eyes are all indicators of good horsemanship. The rider’s back should be straight, chest out, head and eyes ahead in an alert, relaxed position. The appearance of the rider should give the impression of alert buoyancy. The movements of her body should be those that derive naturally from the horse’s movements. Correct posture at all gaits and in all movements is a basic element that judges look for in horsemanship. Hands: A rider’s hands should keep a light but certain contact with the mouth of the horse. Reins should be on a straight line from the horse’s mouth to the rider’s elbow. Wrong lead: In a canter, the horse leading with the wrong leg is “on the wrong lead”. Moving clockwise a horse should be leading with his right front leg. Moving counterclockwise, he should lead with the left. Legs: Heels should be down. No excessive weight should be carried on the stirrup irons. Legs should be quiet under the rider at all times. Diagonals: This fault may appear while a rider is posting (rising and sinking back in the saddle in rhythm with the horse’s trot) at the trot. The rider’s movement in posting should be impelled by the forward movement of the horse’s inside rear leg; that is, the rear leg that is closest to the center of the ring.

Edmon Low Library

UNIVERSITY With a Big 12-best 51 NCAA team championships to its credit and fundraising happening at an unheard-of level, Oklahoma State is well-positioned for success.

COWGIRL EQUESTRIAN

OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY Oklahoma’s only university with a statewide presence, Oklahoma State University is a five-campus, public educational system that improves the lives of people in Oklahoma, the nation, and the world by adhering to its landgrant mission of high-quality teaching, research and outreach.

OSU conducts innovative research and technology transfer that enhance Oklahoma’s economic vitality and its quality of life. The focus has expanded greatly since 1890, but the third cornerstone of the university’s land-grant mission remains as crucial for the future of Oklahoma as it was at statehood. Interdisciplinary collaborations with academic institutions, government agencies, private business, and industry ensure that contributions of faculty and student researchers to the development of new knowledge and its dissemination are pertinent and lasting. Areas of emphasis include: alternative energies and conservation; animal-based agriculture and biotechnology; environmental protection; food production and safety; health and medicine; manufacturing and advanced materials; national defense and homeland security; sensors and sensor technologies; aerospace and unmanned aerial systems; and transportation and infrastructure

OSU research, scholarship, and creative activities promote human and economic development through the expansion of knowledge and its application.

Although OSU is a large, comprehensive university, its size does not minimize the personal attention given to each student. OSU encourages all students when they first enroll to identify the college in which they wish to major. Because the average number of students majoring in any one department is less than 150, the student can count on personal attention in a friendly environment.

Established as a result of the Morrill Act, the Stillwater campus is the home of the OSU System. OSU was founded on Dec. 25, 1890, as Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College. On July 1, 1957, Oklahoma A&M College became Oklahoma State University.

OSU offers students many distinct advantages. It has nearly four million volumes in the library; modern research laboratories and equipment; excellent physical education, recreation and student union facilities; nationally-recognized residence hall programs; outstanding cultural and sporting events; nearly 500 student organizations; and nearly 40 nationally affiliated fraternities and sororities that provide a stimulating educational and social environment.

The OSU System has an enrollment of more than 36,000 students across all its campuses. Named Oklahoma’s inaugural Truman Honor Institution for its production of Truman Scholars, OSU today boasts students from all 50 states and around 120 nations. There are more than 240,000 OSU alumni throughout the world. When it comes to outreach, OSU reaches across the state of Oklahoma. It has five campuses: Stillwater, which includes the Center for Veterinary Health Sciences; OSUTulsa; OSU-Oklahoma City; OSU Institute of Technology in Okmulgee; and the OSU Center for Health Sciences in Tulsa, which includes the OSU Medical Center. OSU also boasts 16 agricultural experiment stations statewide, extension offices serving all the state’s 77 counties, a research facility in Ponca City, and a biosciences institute in Ardmore in partnership with the Noble Foundation. With more than 350 undergraduate and graduate degrees and options, as well as professional degree programs in medicine and veterinary medicine, OSU provides unmatched diversity of academic offerings.

UNIVERSITY HISTORY The story of Oklahoma State University began on Christmas Eve, 1890, at the McKennon Opera House in Oklahoma’s territorial capital of Guthrie when Territorial Governor George W. Steele signed legislation establishing an Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College (OAMC) in Payne County. OAMC’s first students assembled for class on Dec. 14, 1891, even though there were no buildings, no books, and no curriculum. The college’s first students attended classes in the Stillwater Congregational Church. The original campus consisted of 200 acres of prairie that were donated by four local homesteaders. The college’s first six graduates received their diplomas in 1896. Visitors to the OSU campus often marvel at its beauty and consistency of architecture. Much of the credit goes to legendary president, Henry G. Bennett, who served from 1928-1951. Dr. Bennett’s 25-year campus master plan envisioned some of the university’s most famous and beautiful structures, including the Edmon Low Library and the OSU Student Union. A new campus master plan is guiding unprecedented construction that is making OSU more competitive in academics and athletics. Starting in the fall of 2008, OSU has opened the Multimodal Transportation Terminal, the North Classroom Building, the west end zone of Boone Pickens Stadium, refurbished Old Central, the Donald W. Reynolds Architecture Building, an upgraded Murray Hall, the Henry Bellmon Research Center and completed a major renovation of the Student Union, considered the most comprehensive union in the country. Hall of Fame Avenue on the north, University Avenue on the south, and Monroe Street through the campus core have been significantly upgraded, and the university is making numerous upgrades to its campus landscape. OSU grew quite rapidly following World War II. The post-war years were marked by a huge enrollment surge. Some graduates from that era may remember “Veteran’s Village,” a thriving community that developed on the northwest edge of campus as veterans and their families moved into surplus military housing provided by the college. The mid-1940s also were a golden era for athletics at Oklahoma A&M. In a 90-day period in early 1945, A&M teams won the Cotton Bowl, the NCAA championship in wrestling, and the NCAA championship in basketball. The next year, the wrestling and basketball teams repeated as national champions, and the football team won the Sugar Bowl. Coaches and players from that era are now sports legends. Coach Henry Iba set a national standard in basketball and Edward Gallagher took his wrestling teams to international prominence. By the 1950s, the college had grown substantially. In 1957, Oklahoma A&M became The Oklahoma State University for Agriculture and Applied Science. During the next three decades, OSU would build academic programs to match its new status. Enrollment more than doubled from 10,385 in 1957 to more than 23,000 in the 1980s. OSU became a statewide university system, adding branches in Okmulgee in 1946 and Oklahoma City in 1961. OSU merged with the Oklahoma College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1988, and OSU-Tulsa was born in 1999. Today, OSU has more than 36,000 students across five campuses and a presence in every Oklahoma county through its extension offices and experiment stations. From six graduates in 1896, to around 5,000 annually today, the small college on the prairie has grown and prospered far beyond the dreams of its founders. OSU teaching, research and graduates are making a bigger impact on the lives of people around the world than ever before. It’s a great time to be a Cowboy!

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT BURNS HARGIS

OKLAHOMA STATE

COWBOYS

BURNS HARGIS UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT SEVENTH YEAR

Burns Hargis was named the 18th President of Oklahoma State University and the OSU System in December 2007 and took office March 10, 2008. Hargis oversees one of the nation’s most comprehensive land-grant university systems with more than 36,000 students, 7,400 employees, and campuses located in Stillwater, Tulsa, Oklahoma City and Okmulgee. He has guided OSU to record enrollment and record fundraising, reaching the $1 billion Branding Success campaign goal in April 2013, nearly two years ahead of schedule. The campaign is focused on student scholarships, faculty and other vital resources and programs. He also is overseeing a construction boom that is transforming the OSU campus to be more competitive in academics and athletics. Hargis has a bold vision of creating a modern land-grant university that cuts across disciplines to better prepare students for success. Hargis, who holds degrees in accounting from Oklahoma State University and in law from the University of Oklahoma, is the second OSU graduate to lead the university as president. Oliver S. Willham, who served as president

from 1952 to 1966, graduated from then Oklahoma A&M in 1923. Before being named OSU President, Hargis had a long and distinguished legal and business career, with active civic and philanthropic leadership across many fronts. He also is familiar to many Oklahomans through the political perspective and wit he provided on the award-winning television program “Flashpoint”. Prior to coming to OSU, he was Vice Chairman of Bank of Oklahoma, N.A. Before joining Bank of Oklahoma in 1997, Hargis practiced law in Oklahoma City for 28 years, most recently with the firm of McAfee & Taft. He is a former president of the Oklahoma County Bar Association, former president of the Oklahoma Bar Foundation, and is a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation. Hargis served as vice-chairman of the Oklahoma State Election Board, the Oklahoma Constitutional Revision Commission, and served as Chairman of the Oklahoma Commission for Human Services. He is a former member of the Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Hargis was a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of Oklahoma in 1990. A firm believer in the power of imagination and collaboration, Hargis was the first chair of the Oklahoma Creativity Project. He has served and chaired many boards, including the Board of Regents for the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges of Oklahoma State University. Hargis received the state’s highest honor when he was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 2009. Hargis and his wife, Ann, have two married children and three grandchildren.

A little more than five years after launching a $1 billion fundraising campaign to support students, faculty, programs and facilities, Oklahoma State University officials announced on April 24, 2013, that the goal had been surpassed nearly two years ahead of schedule. However, with a number of priority projects still to be funded, OSU President Burns Hargis said Branding Success: The Campaign for Oklahoma State University will continue through its scheduled completion date of Dec. 31, 2014. More than 96,000 donors have participated in Branding Success. The seven-year campaign began in December 2007, and the public phase was announced Feb. 26, 2010, when the campaign total exceeded the halfway point. A record year of fundraising from July 1, 2010-June 30, 2011, added nearly $253 million to the overall total. The $120 million Pickens Legacy Scholarship Match (PLSM) – named for alumnus, philanthropist and businessman T. Boone Pickens – is one of the highlights of the largest comprehensive higher education fundraising campaign in state history. The PLSM program was announced in 2010 with an initial $100 million challenge gift. Pickens increased the amount by $20 million in 2011 when he learned the initiative had generated a record number of qualified gifts. Examples of how the campaign has impacted the four priority areas include: STUDENT SUPPORT • More than 1,075 new scholarship funds, producing thousands of scholarships (many funds are supporting multiple scholarships). FACULTY SUPPORT • Nearly 150 new endowed faculty positions, which strengthen academic programs and help OSU recruit outstanding faculty. PROGRAM SUPPORT • Additional funding for programs such as the Learning and Student Success Opportunity Center (LASSO), which has helped OSU improve its freshman retention rate. FACILITY SUPPORT • Following extensive renovations, OSU’s Postal Plaza Gallery in the former U.S Post Office building in downtown Stillwater is showcasing OSU’s diverse art collection. • OSU has opened the Sherman E. Smith Training Center, the Greenwood Tennis Center and a new track and field facility north of Boone Pickens Stadium. • OSU is moving forward on plans for a new business building, a new performing arts center and an addition to its human sciences building.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR MIKE HOLDER

OKLAHOMA STATE

COWBOYS

MIKE HOLDER ATHLETICS DIRECTOR NINTH YEAR | OKLAHOMA STATE, 1970

Recognized as a 2013 finalist for National Athletic Director of the Year in the Sports Business Awards by SportsBusiness Journal and SportsBusiness Daily, Mike Holder is a central figure in Oklahoma State’s current athletic resurgence. He was named Vice President for Athletic Programs and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at Oklahoma State University on Sept. 16, 2005. In his 32 years of leading his alma mater’s golf program, Holder’s name became synonymous with success not only on the golf course, but in fundraising, facility development and the academic performance of his student-athletes. In fact, a case could be made that Holder took Oklahoma State’s already strong golf program and transformed it into America’s best. Those same leadership skills have served him well in his time guiding OSU’s athletic department. His plan and vision for the betterment of Cowboy and Cowgirl athletics have taken shape, most notably with the completion of Boone Pickens Stadium. The stadium, now a horseshoe with more than 60,000 seats, features 111 completed suites. Also during Holder’s tenure, OSU opened the 92,000-square foot Sherman E. Smith Training Center to serve several Cowboy and Cowgirl teams, the sparkling 50,000-square foot Michael and Anne Greewood Tennis Center - which features six indoor courts and 12 outdoor courts - and a brand new track and field complex. Under Holder’s direction, OSU Athletics has continued to move forward while maintaining its traditional strengths. The Cowboy football team has appeared in eight straight bowl games for the first time in school history. OSU has won five more national team championships under Holder’s watch, raising the school’s championship count to 51 – the fourth best total in the country and tops in the Big 12 Conference. In 2011, OSU claimed its first outright conference football championship of the modern era. Holder’s tenure has also featured landmark fundraising by the athletic department, including the $165 million gift from T. Boone Pickens that pushed OSU’s facility drive into high gear. The legendary OSU alum also helped complete the west end zone project with another $63 million gift in 2008. At Holder’s urging, OSU Athletics has placed an emphasis on scholarship endowments. The “Leave A Legacy” endowment drive has seen Oklahoma State climb from dead last in the Big 12 to the top with gifts and commitments of approximately $58 million. Five years ago, OSU’s endowment stood at just $2.1 million. Perhaps Holder’s adept fundraising stems from his “fundgiving”. He and his wife, Robbie, illustrated their commit-

ment to Oklahoma State when they donated $500,000 for the first fully endowed scholarship for Cowboy football. The scholarship is named for former OSU player, the late Vernon Grant. The Holders’ lifetime giving to OSU surpasses $2.5 million, including $1 million for an entrepreneurship super chair at OSU in the Spears School of Business. “Robbie and I made the gift to the college of business because of (OSU donors) Malone and Amy Mitchell,” Holder said at the announcement. “Having two degrees in business was the icing on the cake. I would like to see the new program nationally recognized and make a difference in the lives of young people.” Malone and Amy Mitchell had made a $57.2 million gift to OSU, split evenly between athletics and academics, on the day the Holders announced their $1 million gift. Things are on the upswing at the turnstiles as well. Oklahoma State set new school records for football season ticket sales in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013, surpassing the 50,000 mark for the first time in 2013 with a final tally of 50,223 season tickets sold that season. Holder administered his first high-profile job search when Oklahoma State went looking for a men’s basketball coach. The pressure was on to fill a position that had been occupied by two of the winningest coaches in college basketball history in Henry Iba and Eddie Sutton. Holder tabbed Travis Ford for the job and six years later, Ford trails only Iba and Sutton in terms of both total wins and winning percentage for an OSU men’s basketball coach.

Other Holder head-coaching hires include cross country and track and field head coach Dave Smith, who has led the Cowboys to three NCAA team championships since 2009; baseball coach Josh Holliday, who guided the Cowboys to their first Big 12 regular season championship and an appearance in the NCAA Super Regionals in 2014; softball coach Rich Wieligman, who took the Cowgirls to the 2011 Women’s College World Series and women’s soccer coach Colin Carmichael, who guided Oklahoma State to within a game of the College Cup in 2010 and 2011. OSU has won the Big 12 regular season or postseason soccer title in four of the last five years. Holder also named Jim Littell women’s basketball coach following the loss of Kurt Budke and his assistant, Miranda Serna, in a plane crash. Littell led the Cowgirls to the WNIT title in 2012 the second round of the NCAA tournament in 2013 and to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen in 2014. During his tenure as the men’s golf coach, Holder’s successes included not only his team’s results on the course, but his players’ performances in the classroom and beyond. His vision and fundraising abilities resulted in the creation of Karsten Creek, a magnificent golf course in Stillwater, selected as the Best New Public Course in 1994 by Golf Digest magazine. That publication listed Karsten Creek as the nation’s 12th “greatest public course” in 2011. In 2000, Holder’s Cowboy golf team claimed the national championship, marking the eighth time his squad carried home the NCAA trophy. And while high national finishes are the norm at Oklahoma State, the accomplishments of his teams never stopped at the 18th hole. Holder took over his OSU coaching post on July 1, 1973, and during his tenure, his teams set student-athlete standards that were unequaled. While he coached 112 All-America selections, including 38 first-team choices, and has numerous former players competing on the PGA Tour, overseas and on mini-tours, Holder saw to it that his players also excelled in the classroom. During his tenure, OSU produced three Ben Hogan Award winners, which was based on academic and athletic excellence nationwide. Kevin Wentworth earned the honor in 1990, Trip Kuehne claimed the prestigious award in 1995 and Hunter Mahan was named the 2003 recipient. Kuehne was OSU’s outstanding male graduate in 1995 as well. Holder is one of five coaches in NCAA history, regardless of sport, to win a national championship in four different decades. Three times Holder coached the Cowboys to the national team title the same year an OSU individual also claimed medalist honors (1978, 1987 and 2000). Along the way, he claimed 25 conference championships. His 21 Big Eight championships were the second most by a head coach in any sport, trailing only Kansas basketball coach Phog Allen. As a student-athlete, Holder was the 1970 Big Eight medalist and led OSU to the conference team title. He was a third-team All-American as a junior and a senior and an honorable mention All-American as a sophomore. Holder, a graduate of Ardmore High School, earned his degree in marketing from Oklahoma State in 1970 and completed work on his MBA at OSU in 1973. His wife, Robbie, graduated as salutatorian from Jasper High School in 1966, and attended the University of Houston where they met at the All-American Intercollegiate golf tournament in 1968.

MR. T. BOONE PICKENS In 2007, Pickens brought his innovative entrepreneurial approach to the philanthropic sector, announcing the Foundation’s largest gifts yet — $50 million each for two University of Texas health care institutions: UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas and The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Under unique agreements, the gifts create special funds at the institutions, requiring that they grow to $1 billion ($500 million each) within 25 years from earnings on the original principal and/or from new outside donations solicited by the institutions. When the $500 million marks are reached, the institutions will be able to distribute the funds as they deem fit. In many ways, Pickens is a record-setting philanthropist. His $165 million gift to his alma mater, Oklahoma State University, in 2005 is the single largest gift for athletics in NCAA history, and the $7 million donation to the American Red Cross in 2005 is the largest individual contribution in the 150-year history of that organization. His unprecedented giving to athletics has triggered a renaissance in Oklahoma State University’s football program and was a key factor in its first Big 12 championship in 2011 and its first BCS Bowl win in the Fiesta Bowl matchup with Stanford in 2012. On May 21, 2008, Pickens gave $100 million for the endowment of major faculty chairs and professorships at

Oklahoma State University. The OSU School of Geology already bears his name from previous gifts to OSU. Over the years, Pickens has donated over $500 million to Oklahoma State, split virtually equally between athletics and academics. In 2010, OSU launched its campus-wide “Branding Success” campaign and T. Boone Pickens again led the charge with yet another $100 million gift to his alma mater. Recently, Pickens has become a national and indeed a world leader on the energy front with the launching of the Pickens Plan, which is a unique private sector initiative formed to address the economic and national security threats posed by America’s ever-increasing reliance on OPEC oil.

T. Boone Pickens is arguably OSU’s (and the state’s) most visible personality. His various endeavors and colorful demeanor have been chronicled on the covers of most American business publications and by some of the mostwatched television programs in the country. During the span of his long career, T. Boone Pickens has created thousands of jobs and made billions of dollars— for others as well as himself — and he isn’t timid about spreading it around. “I like making money. I like giving it away…. not as much as I like making it, but it’s a close second,” he has often said. The breadth of his philanthropy — which approaches $1 billion during his career — includes health and medical research, treatment and services; entrepreneurship; kids at risk; education and athletics, with a particular focus on his alma mater, Oklahoma State University; corporate health and fitness; and conservation and wildlife management. While many donations involve tens of millions of dollars and attract headlines, there are hundreds more ranging from hundreds of thousands to several hundred. Each is important in its own way. The establishment of the T. Boone Pickens Foundation has ensured his continued ranking as one of the top U.S. philanthropists. The Pickens Foundation is improving lives through grants supporting educational programs, medical research, athletics and corporate wellness, at-risk youths, the entrepreneurial process and conservation and wildlife initiatives. 44

OSU SPIRIT OSU PROUD

PISTOL PETE

FRANK EATON - BEFORE PISTOL PETE

Alumni of Oklahoma State University are as loyal to their alma mater as any group in America. Just look around the Stillwater campus. OSU’s director of athletics, head football coach, head wrestling coach and head baseball coach are all graduates of Oklahoma State.

(excerpt from text written by Lance Millis)

“My boy, may an old man’s curse rest upon you, if you do not try to avenge your father...You must never stop until they are all accounted for!” These words, according to one of Eaton’s many stories, were spoken by a family friend following the brutal murder of his father, and guided the formative years of Frank’s life.

Many factors contribute to the “college experience” – not the least of which is gaining a feeling of belonging and a sense of loyalty to the school, its faculty and staff, the community that embraces the university, and the athletic teams that compete to garner conference and national honors. Wearing school colors and displaying emblems of the university are life-long symbols of allegiance. Oklahoma State’s famed Homecoming is a yearly celebration that brings much activity and excitement. THE COWBOY TRAIL

Dating back to the 1890s, Oklahoma A&M sports teams had been referred to as Agriculturists or Aggies, the Farmers, and officially but unpopularly, the Tigers. But by 1924, Charles Saulsberry, sports editor of the Oklahoma City Times, and other writers who regularly covered college events, had begun to refer to Stillwater’s teams as the A&M Cowboys. Reporters’ constant search of colorful synonyms started sprinkling Cowpokes, Pokes, Waddies, Cowpunchers and Punchers in conversation. “Cowboys” had a Southwestern flavor and flair that fit like a favorite pair of boots. The Athletic Council authorized athletics director Edward C. Gallagher to have 2,000 balloons printed, “Oklahoma Aggies— Ride ’Em Cowboy” for sale at football games in 1926.

Around 1923, when Oklahoma A&M College was searching for a new mascot to replace its tiger (copied along with the school’s orange and black colors, from university founders who hailed from Princeton), a group of students saw Frank Eaton leading the Armistice Day Parade. He was approached to see if he would be interested in being the model for the new mascot, and he agreed. A likeness was drawn and began to be used on sweatshirts, stickers, etc., and a tradition was born. That caricature was the basis for what is used today as the official Oklahoma State University mascot. For 35 years, the crusty old cowboy was a living symbol of OSU, representing the colorful past of the area. As such, he would attend OSU athletic events, building dedications, etc., and sign autographs, pose for photographs and reminisce about the Old West with anyone who would listen. To this day, his likeness is a visible reminder of the Old West to literally millions of people yearly as a symbol of colleges whose mascots pay homage to the cowboy. Each year, OSU students tryout for Pistol Pete. A panel of former “Petes” judge the tryouts and select the two best candidates based on an interview, a mime, and posing as mascot in different “game situations.” The two who are selected split the approximately 500 appearances annually. These appearances include all athletic events, pep rallies, business openings, weddings, birthday parties, and public school events.

Born in 1860, in Hartford, Connecticut, Frank moved with his family to Kansas shortly after the close of the Civil War. When Frank was eight years old, his father, a former Union soldier, was shot and killed by a group of lawless former Confederates. Frank was a witness to the murder and each of the murderers’ faces was imprinted in his memory. After being challenged to avenge his father’s death by Mose Beaman, (the family friend), Frank set out to learn how to handle guns. Mose gave him a gun and holster, and taught him how to handle and shoot guns. Frank quickly learned to “shoot a snake’s head off with either hand”. During the next few years, Frank’s days were spent helping his mother with chores and practicing shooting. With each passing year, he became faster and more accurate with his guns. When Frank was 15, he learned of the location of one of his father’s killers. After deciding it was almost time to set out on his mission, Frank wanted to make sure his shooting skills were good enough. He decided to visit Fort Gibson, a cavalry fort, to try to learn more about handling a gun. There he competed with the cavalry’s best marksmen, beating them each time. After many competitions, the fort’s commanding officer, Colonel Copinger gave Frank a marksmanship badge and a new name. From that day forward, Frank would be known as Pistol Pete. BULLET

The Oklahoma State University Cowboys have many symbols of their western heritage, but none is more appropriate than their mascot, Bullet. The Spirit Rider program debuted in 1984 with the first few Spirit Riders providing their own horse to serve as mascot for the OSU Cowboys. However, in 1988, Stars Parr Money was donated to the OSU Athletic Department to be used specifically as the mascot. Since that time, Bullet has delighted crowds with his traditional sprint across the football field following every Cowboy touchdown. The heart of the Cowboy Spirit Rider Program, Bullet is not only seen at Boone Pickens Stadium and other OSU football games, he’s made appearances at local elementary schools, parades, rodeos and other special events, including the opening ceremonies of the Oklahoma State Special Olympics. Bullet speeds onto the field after each score.

Frank Eaton - the original Pistol Pete

The tradition of the Spirit Rider can be attributed to the late Eddy Finley, who wanted to promote school spirit the “cowboy way,” on horseback. Since that time, additional support has come for the Spirit Rider and Bullet, much of it due to Finley’s hard work. A horse trailer, custom-tooled saddle and uniform dress for the Spirit Rider and ground crew have been donated to OSU. In honor of the Spirit Rider and its tradition, Jim Hamilton sculpted the Spirit Rider bronze statue that sits next to the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in Stillwater.

AMERICA’S GREATEST HOMECOMING CELEBRATION

Friday night’s “Walkaround” attracts thousands to campus for Homecoming.

Ask any Oklahoma State University graduate what OSU’s greatest tradition is, and you’ll hear one word - Homecoming. The OSU Alumni Association has presented Homecoming at OSU since 1920 growing it from a small-town carnival to a nine-day, award-winning celebration. It is widely known as “America’s Greatest Homecoming Celebration” with its signature event, Walkaround, which regularly draws more than 80,000 spectators to view elaborate Greek house decorations, parade floats and residence halls bathed in orange. OSU’s Homecoming is entirely run by students - more than 250 on committees within the Alumni Association and thousands more in Greek, residential and campus life. Cowboys love our Homecoming tradition and are actively contributing to an endowment to secure its future existence and growth on our campus. Homecoming is a driving force in the Stillwater community. In 2013, the Harvest Carnival event contributed 18,500 pounds of canned food donations to the local Harvest II food drive. Homecoming also highlights other OSU sports at Homecoming & Hoops where fans can preview the upcoming season’s squads for Cowboy and Cowgirl basketball in addition to enjoying a pep rally for Saturday’s football game. From the Edmon Low Library’s orange fountain to Hester Street painted for coaches and players to view during “The Walk,” OSU and its alumni are proud to claim “America’s Greatest Homecoming Celebration.” Homecoming 2014: ‘The Experience’ is October 17-25 and will conclude with the West Virginia vs. OSU football game.

CITY OF STILLWATER Located in north central Oklahoma, and easy drives from Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Kansas City and Dallas, Stillwater provides college-town atmosphere with big-city access. Stillwater is a rapidly growing city of 47,000 and is near the geographic center of the country. The U.S. Census Bureau recently named Stillwater as the fastest growing city in the state of Oklahoma. Often called Oklahoma’s premier education community, Stillwater is the home of some of the region’s finest education and training institutions, including Oklahoma State University, Meridian Technology Center, Northern Oklahoma College/OSU Gateway, and one of the nation’s top rated public school systems. With such a strong commitment to education, it’s easy to see why Stillwater’s educational attainment is among the highest in the nation, with 48 percent of its residents holding bachelor’s degrees or higher. The city is the micropolitan anchor for the state’s technology triangle that includes Oklahoma City and Tulsa. The “college town” atmosphere lends itself to a variety of recreational opportunities. Year-round arts and cultural events appeal to many different audiences and feature music, dance, theater, festivals, lectures, and concerts. A youthful community demands the best in fitness centers, spas, parks and recreational opportunities.

ranks with such well-known courses as Pebble Beach. It’s one of several public and private courses that prompted Golf Digest to call the Stillwater area among the “Top 10 Places in America to retire and play golf.”

And for the outdoor enthusiast, nearby lakes provide a quiet respite at the city’s edge, sparkling in 234 days of annual sunshine.

Stillwater is one of America’s safest cities, with a crime rate far below the U.S. average and Oklahoma State University has been considered the safest campus in the Big 12 Conference since the league’s inception.

After a day of work or play, residents and visitors often relax in one of the many restaurants or night spots that offer everything from barbecue to fine dining, and blues to bluegrass. Stillwater’s retail districts feature a unique shopping experience where you’ll find museums, galleries, and shops with personality. OSU athletic events attract more than 600,000 fans to Stillwater annually.

Security also comes in the form of great health care services, centered around Stillwater Medical Center’s state of the art facilities. And with a cost of living that averages more than 10 percent below the U.S. average, the dollar buys more.

OSU has been called the “University of Golf,” and the five-star Karsten Creek, home of the 10-time national champion Cowboy golf team and perennial top-10 women’s program,

Whether you’re here for a short time or a lifetime, you’ll want to stake your claim in one of America’s great university cities… Stillwater, Oklahoma!

THERE’S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.
