School Nickname

The first public display of the bronze and blue was in Guthrie when a student represented UCO in the first oratorical contest ever held in Oklahoma.

“Bronchos” was the nickname selected for Central Oklahoma in 1922 by Mrs. C.W. Wantland, wife of long-time UCO football coach C.W. Wantland. The name was chosen from a number of suggestions for the name of UCO’s football team and became the nickname for all athletic teams at the school. Mrs. Wantland was made an honorary member of the Letterman’s Club as a result of selecting the nickname, becoming the first woman admitted to that organization.

Tom Thompson Field Central Oklahoma plays the majority of its home games at Tom Thompson Field, located just east of Hamilton Field House on campus. The field is named for UCO graduate Tom Thompson, who donated funds to help start the soccer program in 1998, and now ranks as one of the finest soccer facilities in NCAA Division II after undergoing a massive renovation in 2009. UCO has enjoyed great success on its home field, entering the 2011 season with a glittering 97-21-5 (80.9 winning percentage) record in the facility. The Bronchos played their first home game on Sept. 13, 1998, beating St. Gregory’s 3-0. UCO has also played 15 home games away from Tom Thompson Field, having gone 12-2 at Wantland Stadium and 0-1 at the Edmond Soccer Club Field. The Bronchos drew what was then an NCAA Division II-record 2,139 fans to Wantland Stadium in 2008 in a game against Dallas Baptist and went 8-2 while playing all 10 home games there in 2009.

The Bronchos had their four-year string of LSC titles ended and finished 13-6-3 in 2008, but bounced back to go 14-6-3 in 2009, winning the LSC Tournament title in earning a national tournament berth before losing a shootout in the first round of the national meet. UCO went 11-8-1 last year. Cook came to UCO after a highly-successful stint at Southern Nazarene. He served as the SNU men’s assistant coach from 1987-92 before taking over head coaching duties for both the men’s and women’s teams in 1993 and went a combined 146-66-3 in five years at the helm.

2011 UCO Soccer The MIAA

Central Oklahoma will compete as an NCAA Division II independent in all sports during the 2011-12 school year before joining the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Assocition in 2012-13. The MIAA, a 15-member conference of NCAA Division II institutions in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma, was first organized in 1912 as the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Over the past 99 years, the MIAA has gained the reputation of being one of the top NCAA Division II conferences in the nation. MIAA schools have won 15 NCAA team championships and, since 1964, over 160 individual national titles. The MIAA currently conducts 17 championships (eight men, nine women). Champions are crowned in football, cross country, basketball, indoor and outdoor track and field, baseball, tennis and golf for men and volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, indoor and outdoor track and field, softball, golf and tennis for women. The MIAA turned a new page on July 1, 1992, changing its name from the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association to the MidAmerica Intercollegiate Athletics Association. The decision to make the change originated in 1989, when Pittsburg State and Washburn became the first schools outside the state of Missouri to gain membership in the MIAA. The conference was first organized in 1912 with 14 member institutions. Of those original members, Central Missouri, Truman State and Northwest Missouri still remain in the MIAA. The first change in membership came in 1924, when the MIAA reorganized to include

only the five regional Missouri state colleges: Central Missouri, Truman (then known as Northeast Missouri State), Northwest Missouri, Southeast Missouri State and Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State). Over the next 56 years, three schools joined the membership: Missouri School of Mines (later Missouri-Rolla) in 1935, Lincoln in 1970 and Missouri-St. Louis in 1980. Ken Jones became the first full-time commissioner of the MIAA in 1981 and would be in the position for 16 years, retiring in 1997. Ralph McFillen succeeded Jones, serving 10 years before his retirement in 2007. Jim Johnson succeeded McFillen and served as commissioner until 2010, when Dr. Bob Boerigter took over. Southwest Baptist brought membership back to eight schools in 1986, before the conference added Pittsburg State, Washburn, Missouri Southern and Missouri Western in the 1989. Southeast Missouri State left the MIAA following the 1990-91 season and was replaced by Emporia State in the 1991-92 season. Missouri-St. Louis departed the MIAA in 1996, Missouri-Rolla left in 2005 and Lincoln forfeited its membership in 1999. Fort Hays State joined the MIAA in 2006, Nebraska-Omaha entered the league in 2008 and Lincoln rejoined the conference in 2010. In 2010, the MIAA CEO Council voted to extend invitations to UCO, Northeastern State, Nebraska-Kearney and Lindenwood to become members of the league. Those four schools will begin league play in 2012-13, which will give the MIAA 15 member schools after the depature of Nebraska-Omaha.
