Glasser's passion for students and her special understanding of the role of intercol legiate athletics on a university campus underscore the long-standing commitment she along with the Univers ity place on academic and athletic excellence at EKU. Described by The Lexington Herald-Leader as an "administrator who packs persuasiveness," Presiden t Glasser has endeared herself to students, faculty and staff, alumn i, and civic and corporate leaders ali ke through h er skills as an effective administrator, plairner, community developer, volunteer and fu ndra iser. Her leadership style, recognized by many as inclusive, collaborative and participatory, has garnered p raise not only from the £KU community, but from those doing business with the University as well. Admittedly, Joanne Glasser has a deep passion for life and learning and continually seeks to do what is in the best interest of Eastern students. This philosophy along with her vibrant personality has become contagious across the campus as she continually proclaims, "At £KU, stu dents and learning come first!" Since assuming the presidency in October 2001 and bringing almost 30 years of ed ucational, lega l and civic engagement to £KU, President Glasser has become a recognized leader in h igher education across Kentucky, the South and the nation. She is a strong and noted advocate for student accessibility to college as she continually seeks opportunities that will enable students to earn a college degree that is of qu ality and excellence, while provided in a flexible, convenient, and affordable manner. It was because of her recognized ability to lead and effect change across the South that led to her appoi ntment by Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher as the Commonwealth's higher education representative to the Sou thern Regional Education Board. She also is a Past Cha ir of the Oh io Valley Conference Board of Presidents, having been elected by her presiden tial peers to serve as the conference's cha ir for 2004-05. As she strives to reengage EKU's 115,000 alumni with their alma mater, President Glasser continually notes that while the University Community supports and takes great pride in EKU's championship athletics program, the coaches and s tudent-athletes strive to maintain academic integrity throughout the en tire intercollegiate athletics program. "At EKU, we are a 'student-centered' university that is focused on our students and their academic success. We place great emphasis o n the overall development and well being of our student-athletes. They are students first, athletes second ." - President Glasser "At EKU, we are a 'student-centered' u niversity that is focused on students and their academic success," she said . "We place great emphasis on the overall d evelopment and well being of our student-a thletes. They are students first, athletes second.'' "Intercollegiate athletics programs have a legitimate and proper role in the life of a university such as Eastern," President Glasser said. "Participation in athletic programs teaches the value of teamwork, and our men's and women's p rograms contribute to the school spirit and provide an important link to the campus for our alumni and all Colonel fans." "We are proud of the many champion ships our teams have won, but we are equally, or perhaps even more, proud that our student-athletes have succeeded in the classroom and have won the Ohio Valley Conference Academic Achievement Banner eight times, more than any other Conference school," President Glasser added. "We also are proud that upon the release last year of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's second Academic Progress Rate report, EKU's Department of Athletics boasted two perfect scores - men's and women's golf - and a third conference leader in baseball." Twelve varsity programs at Eastern met or exceeded the na tional Division I average, and the Colonels' baseball, football and men and women's go lf teams scored in the top 10 percent for their sport nationally. "These achievements clearly d emonstrate the com mitment of our institution and of our coaches to our student-ath letes' success both inside and outs ide the classroom and to prepa ring them for lifelong learning," President Glasser said. 2 "Another key to the success of our program," President Classer said, " is the emphasis our coaches and the athletics staff place on ethical conduct and sportsmansh ip in addition to the purs ui t of academic, athletic and personal excellence for all who p articipate in our prog ram." A native of Baltimore, President Classer ea rned a bachelor's degree in political science from George Washington University, a ju ris doctorate degree from the University of Maryland School of Law and a certificate fro m the Institute of Ed ucation Management from the H arvard Gradua te School of Education.

WOMEN'S OUTLOOK Cross Country Eastern Kentucky University will prepare for the 2007 cross country season this year as it has any othe r - prohibitive favor·tes but ready for the challenge. After finishing third at the 2005 hampionships, the team retu rned to the top of heap in 2006 ith its 21st conference championship in the last 25 years. Recruiting will be the key to the s uccess of the women's cross ountry team's bid to repeat as OVC champions in 2007. Return·n g will be seniors-to-be Katy Ankrom a nd Ca rrie Crofford as veil as junior Ali McMaster. They are part of the reason the tra dition continues at Eastern Kentucky. With the addition of some fine fres hmen runners, the Eastern entucky University cross country team should conti nue to chalenge in the Ohio Valley Conference Cross Cou ntry Championhips during the fall of 2007. Eastern Kentucky has always been a perennial NCAA District II top 10 team over the past 22 years, w ith the Un ive rsity's highst finish coming in 1988 with a with a final ranking of third. "Our main goal is to be one of the top teams in our district each year and to compete against the top NCAA Division I prog rams in the country," sta ted EKU head coach Rick Erdmatu1. The Eastern Kentucky team once again ranks as one of the premiere distance programs in the nation. With wins against several highly ranked teams during the year, the Colonels have continued to stay among the best. Eastern Kentucky's cross country team has also been one of the top academic programs in the country, as the Colonels were one of 145 teams to be named as an All-Acade mic Cross Country Team by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association with a GPA of 3.J 08. To be honored as an All-Academic Team, teams we re required to compete in an CAA regional meet and have at least a cumulative GPA of 3.0. The Colonels' 2007 schedule w ill again be challenging and should provide for some exciting competition. Track & Field A combination of experience and youth will once again make astern Kentucky's women's track and field team a force to be ·eckoned with in the spring. The Colon els will aga in be one of he strongest teams in the Southeast. With a powerful s print and hurdle progra m return ing and a ood g roup of developing distance runners, the women should naintai n the ir prominence in track and field. "We w ill work to be much improved this year as the young earn ma tures throughout the season," said EKU assistant track oach Tim Moore. I With the addition of some solid freshmen and tra nsfers, East0rn will have more depth in several events. "To co ntinue on the upward move, we must have good erformances from sprinters and h urdlers, and the distance rogram," added Moore. Retu rn ing will be senior Morgan Bradley and junior N iche! Eubanks to provide leadership for this year's sp rint team. Veteran distance runners Mega n La Voie, Ali McMaster, Carrie Crofford and Katy Ankrom w ill also carry a giant load of respo nsibility. The Colonels w ill also look from a talented group of freshmen tha t includes Joy Henry, Deshondra Irvin, Jasmine and Jaleeca Jacobs and Sondra N ie porte. "We look for g radual developmen t from our freshmen, so they are ready to compete against the best na tional ly by the end of the season," said Moore. The combination of youth and experience in the distance a nd sprints enabled the Colonels to capture both the O VC indoor and outdoor titles in 1999. "Hopefully, with a good recruiting class this season, we will again be one of the top prog rams in the Southeast," stated Moore. "Our schedule still remains one of the toug hest in the country." t rack .eku.edu 9 �Finished fourth in 100 meters (12.27) at 2006 OVC Outdoor Championships ...

Morehead State �BRATZKE STUDENT-ATHLETE ACADEMIC CENTER The Chad Bra tzke Student-Athlete Academic Success Center (SAAS) is one of the newest facilities at Eastern Kentucky Un iversity. The SAAS Center, located in Alumni Coliseum, is designed to aid EKU's student-athle tes in all facets of their academic pursuits. A former EKU All-American and 11-year National Football League veteran, Bratzke was instrumental in furnishing the center properly w ith his generous gift to EKU athletics. Included in the academic facility are tu toring facilities, a quiet study area, a compute r lab and administrative offices. The SAAS Center is staffed by Randy Kennedy, EKU's coord inator for athletics' academic advisi ng, John Stratman, a thletics academic advisor, and two academic counselors. Pairing academic achievement with athletic accompl ishment is the primary focus of every athletic program at EKU, and the SAAS center allows Eastern to offer some of the fines t support services in college athletics. Headed by Kennedy, the Colonels' support staff offers academic and/or personal counseling, guidance in class registration and scheduling of all student-athletes, supervised study tables, access to a computer lab and a tutoring p rogram. Peer tutors a id EKU's student-athletes not only with an array of subject matt er, but also help improve time management and note taking skills, test-taking strategies, and exam preparation. The SAAS staff also refe rs student-athletes to tutoring facilities and jobs on campus, while ensuring that each student-athlete receives individualized counseling a nd g uidance in developing goals. Additionally, each freshman is enrolled in an o rientation class with the athletic academic counselors during their fi rst sem ester in order to closely moni tor their prog ress throughout the freshman year. EKU annually finishes among the leaders in the Ohio Valley Conference's men's and women's all-sports trophy standings. This past season, th e men won their 12th all-sports trophy, while the women captured their OVC record-tying seventh all-spor ts trophy in 2003-04. Eastern h as also won the prestigious OVC Academic Achievement Banner eight times (1988-1992, 1994-95, 1997-98, 1999-2000, 2001-02), while producing 19 OVC ScholarAthlete Award Winners. track.eku.edu 21 �OUT OF THE PAST OUT Of U.5..-0LYMPIC-TRlilS 0U4llflER NCAA ALL-AMERICjN KEN GLOVER ~ 22 - -----rast ern Kentucky Universit y - _j �OUT OF THE PAST THE PAST NCAA ALL-AMERICAN 1 L_ _ _ --- - --t rack.eku .edu _ J �2006-07 MEN'S ROSTER .~ .

Eastern Kentucky University �MEN'S OUTLOOK CROSS COUNTRY Coming off yet another OVC Championship in 2006, the uture looks bright for the Eastern Kentucky men's cross country tea m. If past history is a guide, then the Colonels could continue heir dominance of the OVC. Eastern will have a lot to replace and that starts with two-time II-American Jacob Korir, who leaves with three OVC individual itles as well as a win at the 2006 Southeast Regionals and a sixth lace finish a t the 2006 NCAA Championships. The Colonels ill also lose Cornelius Chelule, a first-team AII-OVC member in 006. But Eas tern still has a lot of strong runners coming back depite the loss of Korir and Chelule. Senior Jacob Fortney returns ff consecutive All-OVC first-team selections and OVC Freshmen f the Year and first-team All-OVC selection Elkana Kurgat will return for his sophomore year. The team will also look to its returning runners to step up and prov ide the leadership necessary for their 12th title in 19 years. The Colonels look to build upon experience and continue to be very competitive in the OVC and the NCAA Division I District ll1 meets. The Colonels have been the top distance program in the OVC over the last 20 years, finishing as conference champions or runners-up during each of those years, and should continue to improve. To prepare for the challenge, the men's schedule will include some of the top competition in the country. The Colonels will face a very rigorous slate to get ready for the Ohio Valley Conference and the NCAA Division I District III cross country championships. TRACK & FIELD The men's indoor a nd outdoor team will once again compete or a high fin ish in the Ohio Valley Conference in 2007, look·ng to improve upon fourth and fifth place finishes at the OVC ·ndoor and outdoor championships, res pectively, in 2006. The en's program has consiste ntly been in the OVC's upper echelon 1d this year should be n o exception, as the 2007 Colonels hould be one of the most balanced squads in Eastern's rich track trad ition. The team will be led once aga in by the distance runners hich include senior Jacob Ko rir, the returnjng conference chamion in the outdoor 5,000 me te rs, and senior Cornelius Chelule ho finished second in the outdoor 10,000 meters. Seniors Mike Halliwell, Benjamin Hutcherson as well as ophomore Derek Wrigh t will lead a much improved EKU sprint It will be important for the team to get off the ground early with the fall training program and continue the mental compe titive edge all of the Colonel track and field team s have had in the past. With the surface of Tom Samuels Track as fast as ever, several EKU track and field school records should again fall during the 2007 campaign. Many student-athletes will vie for relay positions which will create that competitive spirit during the practice sessions and ensure a successfu l 2007 season . "We h ave more quality up front than we have had in the past, and tl1e talent is spread among several phases of the program," said EKU assistant track coach Tim Moore. track.eku.edu 25 �MEET THE MEN Cornelius Chelule Mile/5000/1 0000 Senior Nairobi, Keriya Kirobon HS O'Brian Bridges 100/200 Senior Farrell, Pennsylvania Sharon HS Finished with the top time in the OVC in the 60 meters in the 2006 indoor season (6.84).

The track, resurfaced during the spring of 1999, is equipped with nine 46-inch lanes of Eurotan ML running surface. It measures 400 meters in circumference and is designed so that the 1.00 and 200 meter dash and 100/110 meter hurdle events may be run in either direction, if necessary. Another feature of the track is an infield which includes a 40-foot radius complete circle high jump area, a dual direction pole vault runway which is also convertible for jumps in either direction, a steeplechase facility with non-skid barriers and a water jump area which is covered with the Eurotan ML surface. Also, the infield includes an all-weather javelin area. l11e discus and shot put circles have a concrete surface and are located in the infield of the track. Overall, the facility is one of the best in the state and surrounding area. It has proven to be a great place to train and compete over the years and, with the renovation, it is even better. The EKU cross country team is blessed with the University o wned Arlington Golf Course for practice and competition. The women's SK meter course and men's SK meter course wind around the back nine holes with rolling hills and several straight fairway areas to run and compete. The site of Arlington was contributed by W.A. Hanger through a bequest to Eastern Kentucky University and the EKU Foundation in 1969. Eastern Kentucky's weight training is held in the Moberly Building track.eku.ed u 41 �HARRY MOBERLY BUILDING HARRY MOBERLY BUILDING One of the most functional facilities available to Eastern Kentucky University athletics is the Harry Moberly Building, completed in the Fall of 2000 and dedicated in November of 2000. The building was named for former Eastern student-athlete, founding member of the EKU Colonel Club and active supporter of EKU athletics, Harry Moberly. A quarterback for the Eastern football team from 1931-34, Moberly's visionary leadership was instrumental in establishing, building and strengthening the Colonel Club, EKU's intercollegiate athletics booster organization. The building, located adjacent to Roy Kidd Stadium, is a 40,000 square-foot, $ 4.75 million state-of-the-art facility. The first floor features a strength and weight development area which was dedicated in November of 2000 as the Raymond E. Giltner Conditioning Cen ter. The Giltner Center, named for the late Raymond Giltner who served two terms as president of the EKU National Alumni Assocation, as a director of the EKU Foundation and vice chair of the Fou ndation's Plam1ed Giving Committee, houses equipment designed to help build strength, muscle development and rehabilitation for EKU's student athletes. Also located on the first floor is the main athletic training facility for EKU's 16 intercollegiate athletics teams. The facility provides an in-ground hydrotherapy pool with rehabilitation equipment, three above-ground therapeutic pools, X-ray equipment and examination rooms. A 6,000 square-foot physical activity area/laboratory for physical education activities and the study of motion is also featured on the first floor. A "Wall of Fame" displays the names of contribu tors to the University's "Competitive Edge Campaign'', which raised private funds to help construct this building. The second floor features a wellness center designed to facilitate aerobic conditioning.

The new surface replaced an eight-year-old urethane track. Tom Sa muels Track, named in honor of the former EKU football and track coach, was dedicated in 1976. Each June, the track hosts the Kentucky Special Olympics State Summer Games' track and field events, and in May 2009 it will be the site for the Ohio Valley Conference O utdoor Track and Field Champ ionships. Mondo's Su per X track has been the world's top track for more than 30 years. Globally recognized as the fas test, most durable and environmentally safest track available, Mondo's Super X t rack has been used in the past eight Olympic Games, includ ing the 2008 Beijin g O lymp ics. "Mm1y o f ou r athletes have achieved faster times on Mondo tracks, and we want to p rovide them with th e track that w ill help them reach top speeds," assistan t coach Tim Moore said. "Mondo's rubber surface has a lon ger lifespan than urethane tracks, an d we were imp ressed that Mondo was chosen fo r the Olympics. It's a testament to the track's p erform an ce and quality." Developed to main tain its initial physical properties over its life, Super X p rovides consistent perfo rmance. The vulcanized natural rubber surface provides maximum elasticity and unp aralleled durability, and its embossed, textured finish makes it extremely easy to maintain w ith no resurfacing required . This h igh-performance track is renowned for its shock absorp tion and optimal energy return, and an ideal blend of speed and com fo rt minimizes the occurrence of injur.ies. More than 1,100 Mond o Su per X tracks have been installed globally, and more than 220 world records and countless national and personal best records have been set on Mondo Super X tracks.

Prior to the season, the women were picked by the conference head coaches to win their third consecutive OVC title. "It will be a ch alle nge fo r us to repeat," 2007 OVC Coach of the Year Rick Erdmann said before the season. "But hopefully, we ca n meet the standa rd the rest of the leagu e h as set for us. That will certainly be ou r goal." While Katy Ankrom, the women's top runner from a year ago, had ex ha usted her cross country eligibility, the team returned seve ral student-athle tes who performed well at last year's conference cha mpionships, including seniors Alli McMaster and Barbara Phelan who were All-OVC rmmers last year. Picked by conference head coaches before the season to win this year' s championships, the women's team nonetheless had received stiff competition from Murray State throughout the season. The OVC Championships were no different. The women won with a team score of 50 points, ju st five less than Murray State and n ine less than Southeast Missouri. Sophomore Kat Pagano, who finished 28th at last year's championships, led the Colonels and placed fifth in the SK race w ith a time of 18:56. Phelan was not far behind Pagano in sixth place with a time of 18:59. "Kat really made great strides throughout this season," Erdmann said. "But Barbara was the key. She has really developed into a great leader for the women's team." Junior Maria Doerger finished 10th in 19:15 and McMaster was 13th with a time of 19:30. Freshma n Danielle Mason rounded out the Colonels' top five w ith a 16th place finish in a time of 19:43.

But hopefully we can meet the standard the rest of the league has set for us. That will certainly be our goal." - H ead Coach Rick Erdmann astounding promise in hopes of improving upon their OVC finish from last year. The sprints team will be led by senior lceca Epps. Epps, who transferred to EKU from Middle Tennessee State, finished fourth in the 55-meter hurdles a t the OVC Indoor Championships last season with a time of 8.20. Sophomores Tashana Johnson and Jasmyn Norris will also be looked upon for leadership on a young EKU s prints team. Jolmson's best performance of 2008 came at the OVC Outdoor Championships where she placed fi fth in the finals of the 1.00meter hurdles in a time of 14.69. Norris, meanwhile, was not far behind, reco rd ing an eighth place finish in the same race w ith a time of 15.14. Freshmen Diamond Benjamin and Lutisha Bowen are expected to provide an immediate impact. Benjami n, out of Washington D.C., was the 2008 state 200 meter champion while Bowen, ou t of Louisville, was named the 2008 Gatorade Kentucky T rack and Field Athlete of the Year. "We've added a few student-athletes who we think will be able to help us move up in the conference standings this year," assistant coach Tim Moore said. "But we have to get better performan ces out of our returning student-athletes to be successful." As in the past, the women's distance team will be led primarily by cross country runners. McMaster, Phelan, Pagano, Doerger, Joseph and Nieporte all figure to compete well a t the OVC level in 2009. Fortunately, Ankrom, who has run the third fastest mile time in EKU history, will also compete during the 2009 outdoor season after redshirting the outdoor season last year. "For us to be su ccesful in d istan ce, the women need to maintain their su ccess against other OVC competitors," Erdma1m said. "We hope to a t least finish in the top three at the OVC Champion ships this year." Finally, senior Tiffany Dumas will be looked u pon to anchor the throwing events for EKU. Dumas placed fifth in the discu s last season at the indoor championships with a throw of 133-00 and ranks third all-time at EKU in the discus.

Despite losing three-time All-American Jacob Korir to graduation, the Eastern Kentucky University men's cross country team entered the 2008 season with lofty aspirations to win its third consecutive Ohio Valley Conference championship. To build on those high expectations, the men were selected before the season by conferen ce head coaches as the favorites to win its third straight OVC crown and 14th OVC title in the past 24 years. While the 2007 season focused on Korir, the story of 2008 was the team's depth. The Kenyan quarte t of senior Joseph Maina, ju~iors Elkana Kurgat and Stanley Mugo, and sophomore Evans K1ptoo were all capable of running a sub 24-minute SK, and the o rder in which they finished varied from race to race. At the 2008 OVC Championships, the men's team did not disappoint. The Colonels turned in one of the most domi nant performances in the history of the league championships with five of the top six finishers in the race wearing maroon and wh ite. Southeast Missouri's Brandon Karcher (fourth place) was the lone wrench in the Colonels' hopes of finishing 1-5, a feat that has only been achieved three times in the history of the OVC men's cross country championships (EKU did it in 1965 and 1989 a nd Western Kentucky did it in 1980). As they traditionally do, the Colonels ran in a pack fo r much of the men's race. Maina, however, distanced himself from the crowd towards the end and won the SK ra ce w ith a time of 25:14.5. Mugo finished second in 25:24.4 and sopho more Evans Kiptoo placed third with a time of 25:30.0. Junior Christopher Rengifo, hampered by an iJ1jury most of the seaso n, delivered a stellar performance, finishing fi fth w ith a time of 26:02.0. Kurgat roun ded o ut the Colonels' top five with a sixth p lace finish in a time of 26:04.0. All five of the Colonels' top runne rs received first team AllOVC honors and Maina was named OVC Athle te of the Year. _Sophomore David Willis fi nished 11th at the OVC Ch ampionships 111 a time of 26:22.0, garnering second team All-OVC honors, while freshman Chris Rice placed 16th in 26:41.0. The league title was the men's 14th in the past 24 yea rs and earned Rick Erdmann, the head coach of the Colonels for those 24 years, his 37th OVC cross cou ntry Coach of the Yea r Award . Two weeks later, Ma im1 and Kiptoo earned All-Sou theast Region honors after fini shing 17th and 21st, respectively, at the Southeast Region Championships in Winston Salem, N.C. "We've had one ofthe top distance programs in the southeast region over the years, and we are trying to maintain that level of success for 2008-09. 11 - H ead Coach Riclk Erdmann Track and Field The Eastern Kentucky University men's track and fiel d team will look to build off its success of 2008 - success that included its first OVC indoor title since 1995. 2008 OVC Track and Field Freshman of the Year Shannon Davis is back. Davis, who tran sferred to EKU from Tulane to play football, won the 100-meter dash (10.39) a nd the 200-meter dash (20.68) at the OVC Outdoor Track and Field Champ ionships. His 20.68 m the 200-meter dash set a new school record in the even t. Davis will be joined on the sprints team by veterans George Bailey and Nick Landis. Bailey took third place at the OVC Indoor Championships in the 55 meters w ith a time of 6.53, and was a me mbe r of the 4x100 meter relay team that took second at the outdoor championships. Landis, meanwhile, finished fourth in the 200 mete rs at the OVC Indoor Cha mpionships in a time of 22.56 and was also a membe r of the 4x100 mete r relay team that fin ished second at the outd oor championships. "We hope to repeat as indoor cha mpions this year," assistant coach Tim Moore said of the men's team. "The cooperation of the football team last yea r provided us w ith the opportuni ty to win the indoor cha mpionship. And with their continued coopera tion, we're optimistic about th is season." The distance team will be led by cross country runners Maina, Kurgat, Mugo and Kiptoo in 2009. Maina won the 5,000 meters at last year's OVC Outdoor Championships with a time of 14:37.36, th: second fastest time in school history. Maina also teamed up with current Colonels Kurga t and Rengifo to set the school record in the 4xMile relay at the prestigious Penn Relays in Apri l.

A Brief Richmond I-Iii.story Richmond was founded in 1798 by Colonel John Miller, a Revolutionary War soldier. In 1798, the Kentucky Legislature authorized the moving of the Madison County seat from nearby Milford to land owned by Colonel Miller. The move was bitterly opposed by about 300 residents of the Milford area and a fight to retain the seat resulted between Dave Kennedy, who represented the Milford location, and William Kearly, who represented the new site. Although history does not record the results of the brawl, the county approved the move in March of 1798 and two acres of land were purchased from Colonel Miller. Court was held in his bam. On July 4, 1798, the site was officially named Richmond in honor of Miller's birthplace, Richmond, Va. --From www.rich,nond.ky.us -48 - Sin ce 1982: 37 OVC Cross Country Titles. 17 OVC Track and Field Titles �Korir dominate indoor tra, opener \ Mid men 1 form, albeit nut at ~ lcl 1r re~!-'LdiVL L~tn b u strength • ' coach Tim Moore 5 .d , assistant "W , fi a1 . ere g htinga littleb· a couple [athletes] th but we had the top of their healr~ t ,at weren't at 1 the recent sick bug th ' Moore said of around on the lean at has been going t• The Colonels ;,· d freesbo ro despite c~~~e well in Mureral team mates und ~etmg with sev.

It continued unabated througho ut a 38-year career in various admi nistrative and teaching roles at EKU, includin g a five-year stint as Vice President fo r Administrative Affairs, from 1998-2003.

His influence on EKU's track and field and cross country program is immeasurable. Under Erdmann's guidance, the Eastern Kentucky women have ca ptured 13 OVC track and field titles and 24 cross country championships, including a string of 19 consecutive cross country banners from 1981-1999. The women's chokehold on the OVC was snapped in 2000; however, the Colonels regained their championship form from 2002-03 and again from 2006-09. The men have also enjoyed success during Erd mann's tenure, winning four OVC indoor track and field championships and 14 cross country titles, including four straight cross country banners from 2006-09. The men's 2008 OVC cross country championship ranks as one of Erdma1m's finest coaching jobs as the Colonels delivered one of the most dominant performances in league championships history. Five of the top six finishers in the race wore maroon and white. Only one Southeast Missouri State runner threw a wrench in the Colonels' hopes of finishing 1-5, a feat that has only been accomplished three times in the h istory of the championships (EKU did it in 1965 and 1989 and Western Kentucky did it in 1980). The Colonels' top ru nner at the 2008 OVC Cross Country championships was Joseph Maina. Seven months after the cross country championships, Maina qualified for the NCAA Track and Field Championships in the 5,000 meters with a time of 14:08.10 The Colonels' first place finish at the 2007 OVC Cross Country Championships was led by the efforts of three-time All-American Jacob Korir, who earned the OVC Male Cross Country Athlete of the Year award following the meet.

H e went on to earn his master's degree in physical education from Eastern Kentucky in 1966. A former football player during his high school days at Ligonier, Erd mann accepted the football and track and field h ead coaching jobs at H amden Hall High School in Hamden, C01m. at the age of 24.

Tim Moore is entering his 28th season as the assistant track and field and cross country coach at Eastern Kentucky University, and he has been an integral part of the program's success ever since arriving. "Coach Erdmann and I have been together for many years and I think we have helped im prove EKU's recognition across the country in track and field and cross country," Moore said. "Our main focus is graduating our student-athletes an d providing them with the best competition we can to make them the best they can be. The support we get from our strong alumni base plays a major role in what we are able to accomplish." In January of 2009, Moore's hard work a nd dedication to EKU was legitimized when he was ind ucted into the Kentucky Track and Cross Cow1try Coad1es Association Hall of Fame. Moore was bestowed w ith the honor at the association's fourth Annual Awards and H all of Fame Banquet held in the H all of Fame Room at the KHSAA Offices on Executive Drive in Lexington. Fou r other coaches - Roland Dale (Shelby County), Craig H opkins (Apollo), Edward Newton (Male, Ballard, Shawnee and Central) and Mike Johnson (Berea College) - were also inducted into the Hall of Fame. Moore's duties at EKU are numerous. He works with the hurdlers, sprinters and field event athletes for both the men's and women's track and field tea ms.

Her continued development will be crucial to the II women's team' s performance in 2010. Benjamin burst on the OVC scene as a freshman last year, winning the 60 meters at the OVC Indoor Track and Field Championships with a meet-record time of 7.55 and then placing second in the 100 meters (11.84) and third in the 200 meters (24.69) at the OVC Outdoor Track and Field Championships. For her efforts, she was named OVC Female Track and Field Freshman of the Year at the conclusion of the 2009 season. Benjamin, however, wasn't the only sprinter to make noise at the OVC level last year. Fellow sophomore Lutisha Bowen was one of the most versatile athletes on the team in 2009. The Louisville, Ky. native was the team's leading scorer with 16 points at the OVC Indoor Track and Field Championships. Junior veterans Jasmyn Norris and Tashana Johnson will shoulder a majority of the workload in the hurdles events. Norris took fifth in the 60-meter hurdles at the OVC Indoor Track and Field Cha mpionships (9.25) while Johnson was seventh in the 60-mete r hurd les at the indoor championships in a time of 9.04. Assistant coach Tim Moore also expects freshmen Bianca Forbes, DanHeisha Harding, Arryn Hopkins and Jazzmin Jeter to be major contribu tors at the OVC level this year. "We h ave a lot of returning women who can be s pecial athletes in the OVC," Moore said. "But, at the same time, we're going to be counting on several new faces to score points for the women's tea1n."

Coming into the season, that goal seemed like a foregone conclusion. The Colonels were picked, almost unanimously, by OVC head coaches to repeat, and 2008 OVC Male Cross Country Athlete of the Year Joseph Maina was the only runner gone from a team that placed five of the top six finishe rs in last year's conference championship meet. "I think the men are certainly capable of repea ting," 40-time (men and women combined) OVC Cross Country Coach of the Year Rick Erdmann said before the season. "Like every year, though, it will all depend on the attitude the kids bring to practice and how they progress throughout the season." Injuries, however, slowly took a toll on EKU's vaunted depth. Junior Evans Kiptoo, the third-place finisher at last year's conference championship meet, and sophomore David Mutuse both accepted medical redshirts and the weight of EKU's d ynasty fell on the shoulders of some relative newcomers. Those newcomers did not disappoint. Junior Wesley Ruttoh- a transfer from Butler College - won the individual title at the 2009 OVC Cross Country Championships in his first year as a Colonel, completing the SK course in a time of 25:39.24. A trio of Colonel veterans - seniors Stanley Mugo (26:03.90), Elkana Kurgat (26:08.61) and Chris Rengifo (26:08.81)- then finished third-fifth and within five seconds of each other to put EKU in position to win. Four runners who had no bearing on last year's conference championship - sophomore Chris Rice (26:50.16), senior Josepha t Melly (26:51.80), sophomore Alex Dreyer (26:55.30) and freshman Daniel Jones (27:01.01) - emerged as factors in 2009 as the Colonels impressively placed all eight of their runners in the top13 of the 67-runner race and, in doing so, ran away with the title, defeating their nearest competitor, Eastern Illinois, by 67 points. Ruttoh then finished second at the Southeast Regional Championships in Lou isville, covering the lOK course in a time of 30:04.46 and defeating the reigning individual BIG EAST and ACC champions. His performance at regionals ea rned Ruttoh a trip to the NCAA Championships, where - despite falli ng in the first in the mile - he finished 87th out of 250 runners and represented the Colonels proudly. x,>'STCR, i, KENTUCKY Shannon Davis u..J.11.1~.irird• mtu Chris Rengifo After finishing second at the 2009 OVC Outdoor Track and Field Championships and third at the OVC Indoor Track a nd Field Championships, the Eastern Kentucky University men's track and field team will try to go from merely a top OVC team to an OVC championship team in 2010. The ingredients for that level of su ccess are in place, especially in the distance events. Maina - who qualified for the NCAA National Championships in the 5,000 meters last year - has one semester of outdoor track and field eligibility remaining. The Ruiru, Kenya native is a three-time OVC champion in track and field and has run the second-fastest 5,000 meters time in school history (14:06.43). Senior cross country runners Mugo, Kurgat and Rengifo will also be key components to the track and field team in 2010. Mugo, the reigning OVC Co-Male Track and Field Athlete of the Year, is one of the top 3,000-me ter steeplechase runners in the Mideast Region. Mugo, who has won the steeplechase at the OVC Championships two years in a row, ran his fastest time (8:52.07) at the Penn Relays in April and will attempt to make nationals in the event this year. Jtmior football player-turned-sprinter Shannon Davis will lead the sprints team in 2010. The Atlanta, Ga. native was the 100-meter and 200-meter OVC champion in 2008 before winning the 400 meters at the 2009 OVC Outdoor Track and Field Championships with a time of 47.50. Erdmann noted that junior Kris Hawkins will also have to become a factor in the middle distance events for the Colonels to have success at the OVC level. Another converted football player, senior Andre Evans, will also be a key contributor on the track and field team. Evans, in his first year run ning hurdles at the collegiate level, took second in the 60-meter hurdles at the OVC Indoor Track and Field Championships with a time of 8.33 before winning his first conference title in the ll0-m eter hurdles at the OVC Outdoor Track and Field Championships in a time of 14.76. "We have had one of the top distance programs in the region over the yea rs," Erdmann said. "Howeve r, if ou r sprinters, middistance runne rs and hurdlers can become factors, we could make some noise at the OVC level this year."

Richmond was founded in 1798 by Colonel John Miller, a Revolutionary War soldier. In 1798, the Kentucky Legislature a uthorized the moving of the Madison County seat from nearby Milford to land owned by Colonel Miller. The move was bitterly opposed by about 300 residents of the Milford area and a figh t to retain the seat resulted between Dave Kennedy, who represented the Milford location, and William Kearly, who represented the n ew site. Although history does not record the results of the brawl, the county approved the move in March of 1798 and two acres of land were purchased from Colonel Miller. Court was held in h is barn. On July 4, 1798, the site was officia lly named Richmond in honor of Miller's birthplace, Richmond, Va. --From www.ricltmond.ky.us 48 ��2009-10 Schedules Outdoor T r ack and Field Easte rn Kentucky U niv.
