Message From the Athletic Director
TOGETHER, WE ARE GOLDEN
When one searches the words “together” and “golden”, you find that “together” refers to “being with each other” and “confident of your abilities and able to use them to achieve what you want”. “Golden” describes something that is “wonderful and likely to be successful & rewarding or because it is the best of its kind.”
Those two words epitomize WCU Athletics and what it means to be a Golden Ram. There are several Colleges & Universities that are the Rams, but only two that are the Golden Rams. It is the “Golden” that sets us apart yet unifies us at the same time. This philosophy of utilizing our collective abilities to achieve success while striving to be the best in all that we do, was never more evident than in 2022-2023.
WCU finished second out of 18 schools in the PSAC Dixon Trophy standings and 11th of more than 300 NCAA Division II schools in the Learfield Cup Standings. Golden Ram teams won four PSAC Championships (Women’s Soccer, Women’s Swimming, Men’s Swimming, Women’s Lacrosse); 10 teams made NCAA Tournament appearances, with Women’s Soccer and Women’s Lacrosse each finishing as national runner-up; two individual national champions, Ann Carozza (women’s swim 200-yd butterfly) and Ralph Casper (Men’s Track & Field outdoor shot put) were crowned in 2022-2023. In addition, six Golden Rams coaches were named PSAC Coach of the Year. Most important, we’ve reached this success in competition while
recruiting, retaining and educating high-achieving student-athletes. This year, our department GPA was 3.302 and 22 of our teams produced a GPA of over 3.00. There were 221 PSAC Scholar-Athletes, 173 D2 Athletic Director Association academic honorees and seven Academic All-Americans.
One of the most exciting enhancements to our athletic program in 2022-2023 was the creation of a unified Sports Performance Team. Working together with campus experts in mental health, sports psychology, sports nutrition, strength & conditioning and sports medicine, this group joined forces to a provide a holistic, science-based approach and provided resources to our student-athletes which allowed them to compete at their highest level.
Sustained success requires sustained support. With the support of the WCU Foundation, we raised a total of over $1.2 million from nearly 3,000 donors. On WCU’s Day of Giving, our generous supporters helped us raise $58,666.50 which accounted for 35% of the total dollars raised on Day of Giving. Athletic donors constituted 56% of the total number of donors to the campaign. These vital dollars support athletic scholarship, program enhancements, and facility upgrades. Without the generosity of our supporters, our goal to provide the best experience for our student-athletes would be out of reach. With your continued support, we can continue to climb to new heights – together.
While the landscape of collegiate athletics and higher education is ever-changing, it is an exciting time to be a Golden Ram. Our history and tradition speak for itself, and with your help, we can ensure that our goals for the future are always within reach. Together, we have achieved much. Together, we can be GOLDEN.
I hope to see you on campus and in the stands cheering on the Golden Rams in 2023-24!
Respectfully,
Terry Beattie Director of Athletics West Chester University
Sport Performance
When it comes to athlete monitoring for sports performance, coaches do not want to leave any detail to chance. From training intensity, to recovery, to injury risk reduction, sports science has sought to answer questions regarding optimal performance by providing quantifiable data to sport coaches.
ATHLETIC TRAINING
Vital to the safety and welfare of the student-athlete, certified athletic trainers from the Department of Sports Medicine provide services to student-athletes. Faculty athletic trainers and graduate assistants provide the highest quality evidence-based care and education of the student-athlete in the domains of injury prevention, management, evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation.
SPORT PSYCHOLOGY
Dr. Margaret Ottley is the Co-Coordinator of the Master’s Concentration in Sport and Exercise Psychology at West Chester University. She is a National Certified Counselor and a Certified Mental Health Coach. Dr. Ottley has consulted for various elite and Olympic level teams and has developed the Mental Performance initiative for WCU’s Student Athletes. Dr. Ottley works with several graduate students to assist WCU student-athletes with the mental aspect of their game in order to achieve optimal performance.
MENTAL HEALTH
Many student-athletes experience mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety that can negatively impact them and their lives. Just like with building muscle and working out – when we struggle, we build strength. Seeking help for our difficulties is a sign of strength. Athletics works closely with Dr. Rachel Daltry, director of the WCU Counseling Center to address the mental needs of our student-athletes. She supports our teams and coaches in supporting their mental health needs.
SPORTS NUTRITION
Nutrition is one of the key components for achieving optimal health and performance, which is why we offer it as part of Sports Performance Program. Dr. Christine Karpinski, chair of the department of nutrition, has developed a comprehensive sports nutrition program where the purpose is to provide a food first, evidence-based approach in order to help guide student-athletes towards making healthier food choices. Student-Athletes are offered personalized services as well as participation in the fueling program.
ACADEMIC MENTORING
The WCU Athletics Academic Mentoring Program, AMP, exists to provide a service to student-athletes who may be at-risk academically, or are deemed to be in need of services to help to navigate academics at the college level. Additionally, many first year student -athletes participate in the program to better acclimate to college. Graduate level mentors meet with student-athletes to assist them in both utilizing existing university resources and also to monitor their academic progression throughout the semester. Ideally, all issues and concerns that may hinder academic progress will be addressed during the semester so that these student-athletes are in the best position to succeed.
STRENGTH & CONDITIONING
West Chester University Strength and Conditioning offers a balanced and full-body focused approach for all of our student athletes across our 24 Division II NCAA Sports. We focus on full range-of-motion exercises to attempt to make our student athletes as strong as they can be within their given sport while always providing modifications where needed. Our goal is to keep our players on the field, so they can perform. “If it’s important, you’ll find a way. If it’s not, you’ll find an excuse!”
Student-Athlete Success
STUDENT ATHLETE SUCCESS PROGRAM
The Student Athlete Success Program (SAS) emphasizes different areas of focus for student-athletes in an effort to expose and educate them in ways that differ from what is learned on the field and in the classroom. Partnerships with professionals in areas outside of athletics allow us to offer programming that may not otherwise be accessible to student-athletes and it is presented in a way that meshes their being an athlete with becoming an engaged and capable member of society. The SAS program areas include:
• Academic success
• Career Development
• Civic and Community Engagement
• Diversity and Inclusion
ership Advancement Series (CLAS) is for our Captain’s to work on conflict management and effective communication in leading their respective teams. The flagship program, The Academy is an application only, multi-year commitment focusing on self discovery, personal leadership, and philosophy development. A select group consisting of three cohorts (sophomores, juniors, and seniors) attend three workshops each semester. 45 student-athletes will continue into academic year 2023-2024.
SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY
WCU student-athletes participated in 2744 hours of community service through numerous events and activities with their teams and through the department.
• Leadership Development
• Wellness and Mental Health
In academic year 2022-2023, There were 15 SAS programs that over 250 student-athletes participated in. Highlights include a Social Justice Panel, cooking classes, a Career Panel of alumni, several Ram’s Let’s Talk mental health meetings and a program discussing Life After Athletics.
MICHAEL HORROCKS LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE
A stand-alone area of the SAS program, the Michael Horrocks Leadership Institute provides leadership development and training opportunities for all WCU Student-Athletes. Broken into three distinct programs, the MHLI offers several ways that student-athletes can discover their own leadership style. The Emerging Leaders Conference is a one-day program for first and second year athletes to focus on character building and responsibility. The Captain’s Lead-
TEAM IMPACT
Both the women’s Gymnastics team and the Women’s Volleyball team had members of their rosters brought on through Team Impact. Team IMPACT matches children facing serious illness and disability with college sports teams, creating a long-term, life-changing experience for everyone involved.
MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION
WCU’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee spearheads the fundraising campaign for Make-A-Wish. With the annual goal of $10,000, the SAAC hosts fun events and raises funds to help grant a wish for a child with a critical illness. Having granted a number of wishes in the past, the SAAC was able to raise $3,153 in 22-23, the third highest in the PSAC.
Academic and Athletic Achievement
The West Chester University Athletics Program has a rich and successful history. Presently, there are 24 intercollegiate athletic programs at WCU. We have one of the largest D-II programs in the country. Men’s sports include: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis and outdoor track & field (n=10). Women’s sports include: basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, indoor track, lacrosse, rugby, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, outdoor track & field, and volleyball (n=14). There is also a cheerleading squad. In the 2022-2023 academic year there were 563 student-athletes (~ 1 in 26 undergraduates) participating in these programs.
2022-2023 Academic highlights include
• 447 WCU Athletic Director Academic Honor Roll recipients (min. of 3.0 GPA; 423 in 2021-22)
• 260 PSAC Academic Honor Roll recipients, (min GPA of 3.25; 314 in 2021-22)
• 173 D-II Assoc. of Athletic Directors Academic Honor Roll recipients (min of 3.5 GPA; 175 in 2021-22).
• 7 CSC Academic All-Americans: Logan Brockway (M Swim); Dalton Fink (M Swim); Ann Carozza (W Swim); Leah Johnson (W Basketball); Kiley Kergides (W Soccer); Hannah Stanislawczyk (W Lacrosse); Jessica Gorr (W Lacrosse)
• 2 Conference Woman of the Year –Tiara DeTomasso (Gymnastics); Ann Carozza (Swim).
The Academic Success Rate (ASR) for all WCU student-athletes was 89% (87% in 2020-2021). Graduation rates (based on 5 years) for the 2015-2016 cohort of student-athletes was 76% (71% in 2020-2021) versus the student body’s rate of 73% (75%). The four-year rate was 78% versus 75% respectively. Historically, when comparing student-athletes to the WCU students at large the spring term and cumulative GPA of the student-athletes is almost always higher than the student body. There is an occasional exception. Note that due to the NCAA extending eligibility due to the pandemic some student-athletes have taken advantage of the extra year to remain in school. A table of the GPAs for the last two years is provided next.
