This ph ilosophy along with her v ibrant personality has become contagious across the campus as she continually proclaims, "Al E KU, swdenls come first!" Since assuming the preside ncy in October 200 I and bring ing more than 30 years of educational, legal, and civic engagement to EKU , President Glasser has become a recogni zed leader in higher education across Ke ntucky, the South, and the nation. She is a strong and noted advocate for s tudent accessibil ity to college as s he continually seeks opportun ities that will e nable students to earn a co llege degree that is of q uality and excellence, while provided in a fl exible, convenient, and affordable manner.

Glasse r announced the hiring of Mark Sandy as Director of Athletics.

" Mark Sandy unde rstands intercollegiate athletics from every possible standpoint.

" I am excited about this time in history for Eastern," said Sandy. "Everyone, especially P resident Glasser, is dedicated to making the University the very best it can be. That enthusiasm is contagious and can lead to great success in the months and years to come. " I was a lso extreme ly impressed with the coaching staff," Sandy added.

Upon being hired, Sandy vowed that his priority would always be to "enhance the student-athlete experience," adding that increas ing fi nancial resources through fund-rai sing, ticke t sales and corporate partnerships would also be a "focal point of our effort." " Fi nally," he added, "we will strive to be the class of the OVC, competing for and winning championships, enjoying the excite ment of post-season play, and guid ing our you ng women and men to become leaders who demonstrate integrity at all times."

Wh ile coaching several junior college A ll -Americans and individua l national champions al Hagerstown, he put together the third fa stest mile relay learn in the East in 1978. THE ERDMANN FILE His influence on the EKU program is im measurable. Under Erdmann 's guidance, the Eastern Kentucky women have captured l 3 track and field titles and 20 cross country cham pionships, including a string of l 8-consccutive con ference banners. The women 's dominance in cross country was snapped in 2000, but the Lady Colonels responded by winning con ference championships in 2002 and 2003. "T he women we've had over lhe years have taken a lot of pride in lhe program and a lot o f success was a product of their work eth ic and attitude," said Erdmann . "We strive lo be as competitive as we can be al the highest level possible." The men have also enjoyed success during Erdmann 's tenure, winn ing three indoor track and fi e ld championships and 11 cross country titles. The Colonels second place fi nish at the 2005 O YC Cross Country cham pionships was led by the efforts of Jacob Korir, who earned the O VC Male Cross Country Ath lete-of-the-Year award.

WOMEN'S OUTLOOK CROSS COUNTRY Eastern Kentucky University prepares for the cross country season this year as it has any other - as prohibiti ve favorites but ready fo r the challenge. The Lady Colonels have won 20 of the last 23 Ohio Valley Conference championships dating back to 1981. After finishing third at the 2005 championships, the team will be eager to begin a new streak in 2006. Recruiting will be the key to the success of the wo me n's cross country team's bid to regain the OVC championship in 2006. Returning will be seniors-to-be Shannon Miller and Courtney Engel. They are the reason the tradition continues at Eastern Kentucky. With the addition of some fine freshmen runne rs, the Eastern Kentucky University cross country team should be a team to challenge in the Ohio Valley Conference Cross Country Championships during the fa ll of 2006. Eastern Kentucky has always been a perennial NCAA District III top 10 team over the past 22 yea rs, with the university's highest fini sh 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 programs in the country," stated EKU head coach Rick Erdmann. The Eastern Kentucky cross country team once again ranks as one of the premiere d istance programs in the nation and with wins against several highly 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 3.47 grade-po int average. The Lady Colonels' 2006 schedule will again be challenging and should provide for some exciting competition. TRACK AND FIELD A combination of experience and yo uth will once again make Eastern Kentucky's wome n 's track and field team a force to be reckoned with in the spring. The Lady Colonels will again be one of the strongest teams in the Southeast. With a powerful sprint and hurdle program returning and a good group of developing distance runners, 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 solid freshmen and transfers, Eastern will have more depth in several events. "To continue on the upward move, we must have good performances from sprinters and hurdlers, and the distance program," added Moore . Returning will be seniors Laki sha Brooks and Melanie Bailey to provide leadership for this year 's sprint team. Veteran distance runne rs Kellie McC!ung and Shannon Tob ias will also carry a g iant load of responsibility, along with junior hurdler and jumpe r Ebony Jones. Sophomores LaShea Preston and Niche! Eubanks will give the women a much-needed boost in the field event scoring along with transfer Brianne Carmichael. " We look fo r g radual developme nt from our freshmen, so they are ready to compete against the best nationally by the e nd of the season," said 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 recruiting class th is season, we will again be one of the top programs in the Southeast," stated Moore. "Our schedule still rem ains o ne of the toughest in the country." 7 �_;-~-,; · ~ 2005-06 WOMEN'S ROSTER Name Class Events Hometown Kathryn Ankrom So. 800/3000 Circleville, Ohio Melanie Bailey Sr. 100/400 Lannam, Md.

If past history is a guide, the n the Colonels could continue their dominance of the OVC. The Colonels have been the top distance program in the OVC over the last 20 years, finishing as conference champions or runne rs-up during each of those years, and should continue to improve. Conference individual champion Jacob Korir re turns in 2006 after a sophomore season in which he was na med an All-American, fini shing 19th at the 2005 NCAA cross country championships. The team will also look to two returning runne rs to step up and provide the leadership necessary for the ir 11th title in 18 years. The Colonels look to build upon expe rience and continue to be very competitive in the O VC and the NCAA Division I District Ill meets. Senior Corne lius Chelule, a 2005 second-team AIIOVC me mbe r, and sophomore Jacob Fortney, who finished sixth at the OVC championships, will play an important role in the success of the 2006 team . To prepare fo r the challe nge, the me n '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 AND FIELD The men's indoor and outdoor team will once again compete for a high finish in the Ohio Valley Conference in 2006, looking to improve upon a third-place fini sh during the 2005 indoor and outdoor confe rence meets. The men 's program has consiste ntly been in the OVC's uppe r echelon and this year should be no exception, as the 2006 Colonels should be one of the most balanced squads in Eastern 's ric h track tradition. Coming off a g reat 2005 season, the sprint and middle distance program will be the cente r of attention in 2006. The crew will be led by NCAA Regional qualifier Steve Maina and Jacob Korir. With the improvement in the distance events, the team should be ready to challenge all come rs during the 2006 season. This has been a re building year for both the distance and sprint programs at Eastern Kentucky, a nd it has proven to be a good one. With the addition of some new recruits, the future looks as bright as ever for the Colonels. It will be important for the team to get off the ground earl y with the fall training program and continue the men- tal competiti ve edge all of the Colonel track and field teams have had in the past. With the surface of Tom Samuels Track as fast as ever, several EKU track and fie ld school records should again fall during the 2006 campaign. Many student-athletes will vie for relay positions which will create that competitive spirit during the practice sessions and ensure a successful 2006 season. With conference champion Steve Maina (800 meters) returning , the program is well on its way back to promine nce. Others who will make an impact are sophomores Jacob Korir and Mike Halliwell. With seniors James Machungo and Cornelius Chelule in the distance events, the team sho uld again fini sh strong in the Ohio Valley Conference and be one of the top relay teams in the Southeast. "We have more qual ity up front than we have had in the past, and the talent is spread among several phases of the program," said EKU assistant track coach Tim Moore. "We may not have the depth that some aspects of the program have enjoyed through the years, but we definitely have a good balance." 24 �2005-06 MEN'S ROSTER Name Class Events Hometown Jacob Bane Fr.

The EKU campus is one of the most sceni c college campuses in the nation and it features several striking features. From the James E. van Peursem Music Pavilion and the Ravine, the Chapel of Meditation, and the Keen Johnson Building, EKU featu res some of the most diverse and attractive locales on any college campus anywhere. However strong Eastern Kentucky's re putation is for its visual aesthe tics, the real character of the University can be found in its students, fac ulty and staff, and o utstanding academic programs. EKU offe rs more than 160 degree programs and features an excellent 17- I stude nt-to-faculty ratio. The University serves nearly 16,000 stude nts, whic h re present a ll 120 counties in Kentucky, a ll 50 states, and over 60 countries worldwide. The Unive rsity, wh ic h is set to celebrate its centennial in 2006, had humble beginnings. EKU's orig ins can be traced back to a conflict between the northern and southern branches of Kentucky 's Presbyterian Church. A group of alumni and supporte rs from the Southern branch lost control of Centre College in Danville and set out to start the ir own institution of higher learning. From that conflict, Central College was chartered in I 873 and the school opened in September of 1874. Financial problems led to Central College's consolidation into Centre College in 1901 , but R ichmond 's place in highe r education d id not move with Central College. Walter's Colleg iate Institute offered a pre paratory curric ulum fo r collegebound men and served as a transitional institution between Central College and what would become Eastern Kentucky University. In 1906 the Kentuc ky Gene ral Assembly approved a bill that would establish two normal schools in the eastern and western parts of the state in order to prepare teachers to enter the classroom. The easte rn school, whic h was located in Richmond, was called the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School, later evolvi ng into the regional institution now known as Eastern Ke ntucky Uni versity. Modern-day EKU now encompasses three branch campuses in Corbin , Danville, and Manchester. The University also boasts one of the state's strongest distance learning programs, giving students from around the world an opportunity to receive an EKU education. EKU is also home to the Co llege of Justice and Safety, which educates students from around the world. As EKU 's Program of Distinction, the College of Justice and Safety is involved in nume rous world wide research projects. It also educates a vast majority of the police officers in the Commonwealth. The Univers ity also boosts 16 championship sports at the NCAA 's Division I level, compe ting in the Oh io Valley Conference. The Colonels history includes several national championships, confere nce titles, an d NCAA tournament appearances. However, the best is yet to come as the school's athletic department is committed to e nsuring that EKU student-athletes are g iven the necessary resources to continue to compete at a national level. All told, Eastern Kentucky provides a safe and attractive e nvironment in which its students can learn and become productive members of society. The lessons learned at EKU w ill follow students for a lifetime and the performance of its graduates will, in turn, continue to enhance the already strong regional and national re putation of the Uni versity. 37 �I./'=~ TRACK & FIELD FACILITIES The site for Eastern Kentucky U niversitys home meets is the Tom Samuels Track, dedicated in 1976 and named in ho nor of the fo rmer Eastern football and track coach. The track , res urfaced du ring the spring of 1999, is equipped with nine 46-inch lanes ofEurotan ML running surface. lt meas ures 400 meters in circ umfe re nce and is designed so that the 100 and 200 meter dash a nd 100/110 meter hurd le events may be run in either direction, if necessary.
