The Lady Colonels have won eighteen of the last 20 Ohio Valley Conference Championship dati ng back to 1981. After losing the championship in 200 I , the team is ready to begin a new streak. Recruiting will be the key to the success of the women's cross country bid to regain the OVC championship in 2002. Returning will be junior Tiffaney Cartwright and sophomore Wendee Embry. They are the reason the tradition continues at Eastern Kentucky. With the addition of some fine freshmen runners, the Eastern Kentucky University Cross Country team should be a team to challenge in the Ohio Valley Conference Cross Country Championship during the fall of 2002. Eastern Kentucky has always been an NCAA District Ill top IO team over the past 20 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 Ill each year and to compete against the top Div is ion I programs in the country," stated R ick Erdmann, EKU head cross country coach. By finishing with a 24-8 record during the 200 I cross country season, the Easte rn Kentucky team again ranks as one of the premiere distance programs in the nation. With wins agai nst several nationally-ranked teams during the year, the Lady 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, ranking as high as fourth in 1995 with a grade-po int average of 3.47. The Lady Colone ls' 2002 schedule will again be challenging and should provide for some exciting competition. TRACK AND FIELD dlers Nichole Gibson and Cynita Hoskins both from Louisville, KY and sophomore hurdler Onyinyechi Chuku (Largo, MD). Returning s printers Melan ie Bail ey (U pper Marlboro, MD) and Nicole Moore (Ann Arbor, Ml) will also be important assets to the sprint crew. Junior throwers, Erin Davis (Louisville, KY), Stefanie Hurley (Xenia, OH) and Beth Hull (Washington, PA) along with j unior long jumper Lacy Turner (Dos Palos, CA) will be called upon to provide points at the conference championship to help the women reclaim the Ohio Valley Conference crown. " 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 Moore. The combination of youth and experience in the distance and sprints enabled the Colonels to capture both the OVC indoor and outdoor titles in 1999. " Hopefully, with a good recruit ing class this season, we will again be one of the top programs in the Southeast. Our schedule still remains one of the toughest in the country," stated Moore. A combination of youth and experience w ill once again make Eastern Kentucky's women's track and field team a force to be reckoned with in the spring. The Lady Colonels will again be one of the strongest in the Southeast. With a powerful distance program returning and a good group of developing sprinters, the women should maintain their prominence in track and field. "We will work to be much improved this year as the young team matures throughout the season," said EKU assistant track coach Tim Moore. With the addition of some fine freshmen and transfers, Eastern Kentucky will have more depth in several events. "To continue on the upward move, we must have good performances from distance runners and sprinters," added Moore. Returning will be sen ior sprinters Sheri Calhoun (Kutztown, PA) and Renata Simmons (Richmond, KY) to provide the leadership for this year's sprint team. Also, veteran distance runners Tiffaney Cartwrig ht (Botkins, OH) and Angie Lee (Clarkson, KY) will carry a giant load of responsibility along with junior hur- 6 �2002-03 WOMEN'S ROSTE8;2 Class Name Hometown Event Upper Marlboro, MD I00/200 Bailey, Melanie so Calhoun, .Sheri SR Kutztown, PA 200/400 Cartwright, Tiffaney JR Botki;ns, OH 1500/5000 Chuku, Onyinyechi so Largo, MD Hurdles Courts, Danielle FR Mason, OH 1500/5000 Dattilo, Molly JR MadisoJ:J, [N. 800/3000 JR Louisville, KY D iscus • (%•· so ,;.;.:. so Kettering, OH, .,· Caneyville, •/-;. . 800/JS00 Ki ) 50013000 -:-::~~-;··~.

We were hot that week winning the 4 x I 00 meter and placing in the top four in the other relays." Stan Pringle Sprinter Market Business Consultant "The two good things that happened to me while at EKU was I got a great education that has prepared me for life and I got to train and compete against the nation 's best runners. Also I have met some great teammates which I still stay in contact with after graduation 12 years ago." Bill Hoffman Distance Runner Teacher and Coach "The most important things I learned at EKU were that there are no limits except the ones you put on yourself, and that with hard work and dedication you can achieve everything you desire. My EKU experience has taught me the real value of sisterhood, loyalty, friendship, truth and most importantly teamwork." Vashti Canty Hurdler and Sprinter Flight Attendant "The best times in my life came from being a part of the Eastern Kentucky University tradition. Not only was it a great honor to be a part of the greatest teams in EKU history, but also the lessons in li fe and relationships that came from my EKU experience will be cherished forever." Ryan Parrish Middle Distance Runner Account Executive "While I attended EKU, I grew and matured into a man. I also met people who have left a positive impression on my life. Coach Moore and Coach Erdmann also taught me a lot about myself that I never knew. I'm thankful for my ex periences at EKU. God led me there for a reason." Leon Pullen Sprinter Teacher and Coach "After close to three years of a performance slump, competing more or less unsuccessfull y in Germany, Eastern's track team and coaching staff energized and motivated me to new heights and personal records - in particular, the 50.6 1 seconds in the 400m hurdles during the summer of 1996. Eventually, 1 won the bronze medal in this event at the German Championshi ps that year." Danie l Blochwitz Hurdler University Instructor "The re lationships I developed, in particular Coach Erdmann and Coach Moore, have proven to be extreme ly helpful in my professional life. Their unselfish acts have helped me in my efforts in developing a strong track club at the middle school level. Their continued support only reinforces my pride and sense of privilege that I feel to have been associated with such an outstanding track organization." 15 Amy (Flint) Stockard Middle Distance R unner Special Education Teacher �j, ~~ WOMEN'S INDOOR TOP 5 60 METERS I.

EKU's 13 Academic All- Americans - Roger C hapman, Al lison Kotouch, Danny Copeland, Lisa Ma lloy (2), Amy Clements (3), Sarah Blossom (4) and Dan iel Blochwitz - show the pride that the track and field program has in academics. Chapman, of Steve nage, England, and a 1987 graduate of Eastern Kentucky University, boasted a 3.98 grade point average at Eastern, whil e completing a degree in computer science in three and one half years. At the time of his selection, Chapman was a lso an outstanding midd le di stance runner at Eastern holding school records in the indoor 800 and I 000 meter runs. Along with his All-Ame rican honor, he rece ived a NCAA post-graduate scholarship to attend the University of Edinburg, England. Chapman now has his Doctorate and is a college professor. Kotouch, of Baden, Pennsylvania, was Eastern's second track student-athlete and the first female to receive Academic All-American honors. She earned her degree in nursing, while mainta ining 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 fo r EKU 's dominance in the Ohio Valley Conference cross country championships. She went on to Syracuse Un iversity to complete her masters degree in nursi ng . Copeland, who was drafted by the NFL's Cleveland Browns, was a criminal justice major with a 3.68 GPA from Me igs, Georgia. While his ma in involvement at Eastern Kentucky was in footbal l, he was an important asset to the sprint relay teams. Copeland retired from the National Football League after a four-year starting stint at defensive back with the 199 1 Super Bowl champion Washington Redskins. Malloy, of Mechanicsville, Virg inia, was EKU's first repeat member of the Academic All-American team. An English graduate, Malloy was the Ohio Valley Conference cross country individual champion two years and also exce lled during the indoor and outdoor track season. Malloy is now teaching in Richmond, Virginia, and was voted the "Teacher of the Year" in 1993. Clements, of Erlanger, Kentucky, is Eastern's second repeat member of this e lite group of the Academic All-American team. She is the first to win the award three times. She was a Physical Education major and graduated in May of 1995. C lements recorded many 4.0 grade point averages whi le at Eastern and won the Ohio Valley Conference individual cross country championship in 199 1, 1992 and 1994. Blossom, of Indianapolis, Indiana, is a 1999 graduate of Eastern Kentucky University. She has been an Ohio Valley Con- 22 fe rence cross country individual champ ion and has won many OVC track individua l championships. She was one of the reasons the women have been able to keep their streak of 18 consecutive conference cross country championshi ps going. She was a part of three of those wi ns. Sarah maintained a 4.0 grade point average whi le at Eastern Kentucky. Blochwitz, ofNiederwiUinger, Germany, and a 1999 graduate, compiled a 3.77 GPA in photography at Eastern. He was a 1999 All-OVC O utdoor Team choice after winning the 400mete r hurdles at the confe rence meet. A five-time All-OVC track athlete, Blochwitz is the school's record holder in the 400-meter hurdles (50.6 1). A first-team selection to the 1998 GTE Academic All- District team for Spring Sports At-Large, Blochwitz is an eight-time German champion in the 400-meter hurdles. The Verizon-CoSIDA Academic All-American awards are voted on by the nation 's college sports information directors. To be considered for the award, a student-athlete must maintai n a 3.2 or better grade point average and excel in athletics competition. With 13 Aca demic A ll-Americans, Eastern Kentucky University's track and field program re-emphasizes the meaning of STUDENT in student-athlete, and continues to prove that academics and athletics can work together. Academics, as well as athletics, at Eastern Kentucky University is .. . "A MATTER OF PRIDE".

If past history is a guide, then the Colonels could continue their dominance of the OVC. The Colonels have been the top distance program over the last 15 years and should continue to improve. They have finished as champions or runners-up during those years. The team will look to three returning runne rs to step up and provide the leadership necessary for their 12th title in 15 years. The Colonels look to build upon experience and continue to be very competitive in the OVC and the NCAA Divisio n I District III meets. Seniors Gary Garman (Butler, PA) and Alan Horton ( Knoxville, TN) will play an important role in the success of the 2002 team, along with senio r Eric VanOstrand and junior Phil Scott. Also competing with the cross country program for the first time will be junior Brent Reiter, who will round out the top five this season. The Colonels finished fifth at the 1999 NCAA District III meet and wi 11 strive to finish even higher in one of the toug hest regions in the country. 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 ITI cross country championships. TRACK AND FIELD The men's indoor and outdoor team will once again compete for a high finish in the Ohio Valley Conference in 2003, looking to improve upon top three finishes during the indoor and outdoor conference meets in 20012002 and a number four finish at the indoor championship in 2000 and a third place finish in 2001. 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 m ost balanced tea ms in Eastern 's rich track tradition. Coming off a g reat 200 I - 2002 season, the distance and middle distance program will be the center of attention during the 2003 season. The crew will be led by Phil Scott, Eric VanOstand and newcomer Brent Reiter. With the improvement in the sprint events, the team should be ready to challenge all comers during the 20022003 season. This has been a rebuilding year for both the distance program and sprint program at Eastern Kentucky University and it has proven to be a good one. With the addition of some new recruits, the future looks bright for the Colonels. It will be important for the team to get off the ground early with the fall training program and continue w ith the mental competitive edge all of the Colonel track and field teams have had in the past. With the newly renovated Tom Samuels Track as fast as ever and the new atmosphere it gives to the team, the Eastern Ke ntucky University t rack and fie ld school records should again fall during the 2003 campaign. Many student-athletes will vie for relay positions which will create that competitive spirit during the practice sessions. The squad should again be successful during the 20022003 season. With conference champi o n Tyrone Walker (Harrodsburg, KY) in the high jump and all-conference sprinter Dan Pallex (Green Bay, WI) in the sprints, the prog ram is on the way back to prominence. Others who will make an impact are Anlami Shaw (Kingston, Jamaica), Sheldon Scott (Oshawa, Ontario, Canada) and Aaron Coney (Radcliff, KY) in the sprints and sprint relays. With the addition of Marvin Elmore (Watertown, NY) and Dallas Robinson (Crestwood, KY), a transfer from Morehead State University in the sp rint events, the team should again finish strong in the Ohio Valley Conference and be one of the top relay teams in the Southeast. "We have more quality up front than in the past, and the talent is spread among several phases of the program. We may not have the depth that some aspects of the program have enjoyed through the years, but we definitely have a good balance," offered Colonel assistant track coach Tim Moore. 24 �2002-03 MEN'S ROSTER ~- Name;,, .

The track, resurfaced during the spring of 1999, is equipped with nine 46-inch lanes of a Eurotan ML running surface.
