The Lady Colonels have not lost to an Ohio Valley Conference opponent since 1982 and will look to capture their 17th consecutive conference title this fall. At the 1997 championship meet, EKU won its 16th straight team crown and added an individual title as well. Eastern has won 18 individual titles in the 19 years which the OVC has held a women's cross country meet. A strong trio returns for the 1998 season, led by junior Sarah Blossom (Indianapolis, IN), sophomore Celestina Ogbolugo (North Tarrytown, NY) and sophomore Jenni Brown (Salem, OH). All three were in the Colonels' top five last year, finishing in the top four at the Ohio Valley Conference championship meet. Blossom took top individual honors in 1996. With the return of four of the top six, Eastern Kentucky's future in cross country looks bright. "We are looking to add three or four new faces to the program during the 1998 season", stated an excited Coach Rick Erdmann. TRACK AND FIELD A combination of youth and experience will once again make Eastern Kentucky's women's track and field team a force to be reckoned with in the spring. The team returns a veteran distance group, as well as some top perfonners in the middle distances and sprints. The team's success however could lie in the hands of a strong recruiting class and great improvement anticipated for Eastern's relay teams. Senior middle distance runner Jamie King (Botkins, OH), an NCAA finalist in the 1500 meters ( 4: 19.30) at the 1997 outdoor championship meet, and sprinter Felecia Hawkins (Winter Haven, FL) will give the Lady Colonels the leadership needed to be successful during the 1998 season. Hawkins will anchor the sprint team after running some of the fastest times ever turned in by an Eastern Kentucky University athlete. Hawkins ran the second fastest 200 meter time in school history (23.94). Joining her will be a group of the country's fastest high school athletes from a year ago, some of whom finished high in the national championships. 4 Eastern Kentucky has always been a NCAA District III top ten team over the past 16 years, with the university's highest place coming in 1988 with a third place finish. "Our main goal is to be one of the top teams in the District III each year and to compete against the top Division I programs in the country," stated Erdmann. The Lady Colonels finished unbeaten during the 1995 cross country season, proving that the Eastern Kentucky team again ranks as one of the premiere distance programs in the nation. With wins against several nationally ranked teams during the year, the Lady Colonels have continued to stay among the best. Eastern Kentucky's cross country team ranked fourth academically among national teams during the 1995 season with an overall grade point averageof3.47. "We have produced many Academic All-Americans during the past 15 years and hope to produce many more," according to Erdmann. The Lady Colonels' schedule will again be challenging and should provide for some exciting competition. The long and middle distance team will once again be strong with Sarah Blossom (Indianapolis, IN), Mandy Jones (Somerset, KY) and Jamie King leading the way. Also contributing will be a strong sophomore class with distance runners Jenni Brown (Salem, OH) and Celestina Ogbolugo (North Tarrytown, NY). Eastern Kentucky once again will be into the hurdles with a total of four hurdlers, some of whom were ranked nationally. Senior Vashti Canty (Atlanta, GA) returns as the runner-up in the OVC in the 400 meter hurdles (1:00.70) along with Lystra Bartholomew the number five high school hurdler in 1995. Also returning is Mama Moore a sprinter (24.9) and hurdler from Memphis, TN. Alysia Barton (Woodbridge, VA), the seventh ranked 100 meter hurdler in the country, is just one of those hurdlers. "We look for gradual development from our freshmen, so that they are ready to compete against the best nationally by the end of the season," explained Tim Moore, assistant coach. The combination of youth and experience in the distance and sprints should have the Colonels in contention for yet another OVC title in 1998. �WOMEN'S ROSTER Bllrtdn, At/·· Bi<:He,Am Bro;H, Jeooi ' caiit, Vash~~ Feibel'Sue .. ·:,,, .

If past history is a guide, then the Colonels could regain the title of OVC Champions in 1998. The last time the Colonels were denied titles in back-to-back years was 1986, and they have finished as champions or runnersup ever since. The team will look to four returning runners to steJJ up and provide the leadership necessary for their tenth title in 12 years. Juniors Mohamed Musse (Fairfax, VA), Daniel Koech (Nairobi, Kenya), Charles Moore (Owensboro, KY) and sophomore David Kabata (Nairobi, Kenya) figured heavily into the Colonels' success in 1997 and look to build upon that experience. Moore finished seventh at the OVC championships, second on the team at the meet. To prepare for the challenge, the men's schedule includes 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 District III cross country championships. TRACK The men's indoor and outdoor team will once again compete for the Ohio Valley Conference titles in 1998, looking to improve upon 1996's second and fourth place finish. The men's program has consistently been in the OVC's upper echelon and this year should be no exception. This year's team should be one of the most balanced teams in Eastern's rich track tradition. Coming off a great cross country season, the distance and middle distance program will be the center of attention during the 1998 season. The crew will be led by sophomore David Kabata, senior Titus Ngeno, juniors Daniel Koech, Mohamed Musse and Charles Moore. Two outstanding hurdlers return for the Colonels- junior Daniel Blochwitz (Niedswillinger, Germany) and senior Jeremy Petter (Louisville, KY). Blochwitz won the Ohio Valley Conference 400 meter hurdle title in 1996 and qualified for the NCAA outdoor track and field championship in his first campaign. He also set the Eastern Kentucky University school record in the 400 hurdles (50.61). Accomplishing a great deal in one season was little surprise considering Blochwitz had won eight German junior national titles before arriving at Eastern. Petter finished second in the OVC 110 meter hurdles in '96 and also ran the 400 meter hurdles during the season. GaffeI Hippolyte, a junior college transfer, should blend well with EKU's "double duty" athletes to form a much-improved sprint team. A junior college All-American from Alfred State College in New York, Hippolyte will run both the 200 and 400 meters for Eastern. At ASJC, he won the regional championship in the 200 and400 meters, receiving All-American status in the latter in 1995. Also returning will be junior Carl Bunce (Paris, KY). Bunce will be much improved after two years of competition under his belt. Bunce was a finalist in both the 100 and 200 meters at the OVC championship as a freshman.

ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICANS Eastern Kentucky University's track and field program is not only one of the t~p teams in the Southeast on the track, but with nine GTE-CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in 11 years it ranks among the best in the country in the classroom. EKU's nine Academic All-Americans - Roger Chapman, Allison Kotouch , Danny Copeland, Lisa Malloy (2), Amy Clements (3) and Sarah Blossom - show the pride that the track program has in academics. Chapman, of Stevenage, England, and a 1987 graduate ofEKU, boasted a 3.98 ~ade point average at Eastern while completing a degree in computer science in three and one half years. At the time of his selection, Chapman was also an outstanding middle distance runner at Eastern holding school records in the indoor 800 and 1,000 meter runs. Along with his All-American honor, he received an NCAA post-graduate scholarship to attend the University of Edinburg, England. Chapman now has his Doctorate and is a college professor in Montana. Kotouch , of Baden, PA , was Eastern's second track student-athlete and first female to receive Academic All-American honors. She earned her degree in nursing, while maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA through her junior year. She was the 1985 Ohio Valley Conference Cross Country Athlete of the Year as a freshman and was an instrumental reason for EKU's dominance in OVC cross country. She went on to Syracuse University to complete her masters degree in nursing. Copeland, who was drafted by the NFL's Cleveland Browns, was a criminal justice major with a 3.68 GPA from Meigs, G1:1. While his main involvement at Eastern was m football, he was an important ~sset to the sprint relay teams. Copeland has Just recently retired from the NFL after a four- year starting stint at defensive back with the 1991 Super Bowl champion Washington Redskins. Malloy, of Mechanicsville, VA, is E KU's first repeat member of the Academic All-American team. An English graduate, Malloy was OVC cross country champion two years and also excelled during the indoor and outdoor track seasons. 18 Malloy is now teaching in Richmond, VA, and was voted the "Teacher of the Year" in 1993. C lements, of Erlanger, KY, is Eastern's second repeat member of this elite group of the Acade!llic All-American ~earn. She is the first to wm the award three t1mes. She was a Physical Education major and graduated in May, 1995. Clements has recorded many 4.0 grade point averages while at EKU. Clements has won the OVC individual cross country championship in 1991, 1992 and 1994. Blossom, of Indianapolis, IN, is a junior at EKU this season and has bee_n ll!1 Ohio Valley Conference cross country md1vidual champion. She has been one of the reasons the women have been able to keep its streak of 16 conference cross country championships going. She has been a part of three ofthose wins. Sarah has main tamed a 4.0 GPA while at Eastern. The GTE-Co SIDA Academic AllAmerican awards are v oted on by the nation's college sports information directors. To be considered for the award, a student-athlete must maintain a 3.2 or better grade point average and excel in athletic competition. With nine Academic All-Americans Eastern Kentucky University's track and field program re-emphasizes the meaning of STUDENT in student-athlete, and continues to prove that academ ics and athletics can work together. Academics, as well as athletics, at Eastern Kentucky University is "A MATTER OF PRIDE".

Athletics Academic Counselor Joan Hopkins coordinates academic services for all participants in EKU's men's and women's intercollegiate athletics programs. Now in her 12th year on Eastem's faculty, Joan has a strong personal commitment to student-athletes completing their degrees while they compete for athletics honors as well. "My main responsibility is to to provide our student athletes with sufficient academic counseling and other academic assistance to ensure that each one makes progress toward the attainment of a degree," said Hopkins. "In so doing, I am the official advisor of all the athletes who have not declared a major. I coordinate a student-athlete study table for tutoring and structured study groups and I help in determining an athlete's eligibility according to NCAA regulations." Centrally located in the university's Department of Leaming Skills, Hopkins' office provides academic counseling and advising for all student athletes but especially focuses on the freshmen and on academically disad- vantaged students. "Student-athletes have very special needs. They have to meet constant demands on their mental and physical being. They are continually striving to be the best on the playing field as well as in the classroom. My job enables me to assist and encourage them toward these goals. I become their 'coach' in the academic arena." Working closely with administrators, coaches, faculty, graduate assistants, and tutors, Hopkins coordinates an evening study table for student athletes; arranges tutoring time management and study skills; provides individual counseling and referral for academic, personal, and career concerns; teaches a specialized academic orientation course for freshmen athletes; and advises students about their academic requirements and progress. "My job is a very challenging and rewarding one," says Hopkins. "Watching the athletes be successful in completing an algebra problem or performing an athletic feat is especially gratifying. Academics and athletics can compliment each other. Success in the academic area can aid in success on the athletic field.

With a principal service region of central and eastern Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky University has served as a vehicle for upward mobility for generations of Appalachian Kentuckians. More than 70,000 degrees have been awarded on the Richmond campus, and Eastern Kentucky University graduates have distinguished themselves in virtually every profession. Thousands of other Kentuckians have been influenced by Eastern Kentucky University, either in the classroom or by the University's faculty. In fact there has been more than a century of higher education on the 350-acre Richmond campus, beginning with the 1874 founding of Central University. The roots of present-day Eastern Kentucky University go back to 1906 with the establishment of Eastern Kentucky State Normal School No. I on the old Central University campus. Since then Eastern has grown into a comprehensive regional university serving approximately 15,500 students through 150 degree programs and additional program options offered in its nine colleges and graduate school. Although teacher education and a liberal arts curriculm have remained high priorities at EKU, the University now offers outstanding programs in business, law enforcement, industrial technology, occupational therapy, allied health and nursing, and other special areas of technology unknown in 1906 but critical to a complex and industrialized future. Eastern has maintained a liberal admissions policy which over the years has provided increased oportunities for Kentuckians to receive higher education. Students who have taken advantage of this opportunity have found programs that recognize and complement the academic needs of students drawn from EKU's service region, and have gone on to successful careers in their chosen fields. Eastern graduates reflect excellent admission rates to medical, law and dental schools and have performed well in those schools and in their practices after graduation. 24 �_G_RAD __u_A_T_E_S_RA __ TE_E_K_u_A_S_E_x_c_E_L_L_E_N_T_ _ by Kim Buford, Richmond Register Staff Writer Ninety-four percent of Eastern Kentucky University graduates said they would recommend the university to other students seeking a college education. More than 88 percent of students who attended EKU during the 1993-94 school year felt like they got a good overall education, according to a state accountability report released by the state of Kentucky in 1994. The 1994 EKU accountability report, released in conjunction with the state Council on Higher Education and EKU, is required due to the passage ofSenate Bill I 09 by the 1992 Kentucky General Assembly. The legislation requires each of the eight state-funded universities to submit accountability reports which lists each institution's mission and goals, a profile of the institution, students' satisfaction reports and parental satisfaction in regards to higher education. "I think it is clear that the taxpayers of Kentucky and our students are receiving a dollar's worth of value for a dollar spent in higher education in the state of Kentucky, " reported EKU President Hanly Funderburk in the annual report. According to the state acco untability report, there were 157,740 students enrolled in public institutions in 1993. These students were taught by 22,606 full-time faculty and staff members who worked an average of 55 ho urs per week.
