Tom Samuels Track
Eastern Kentucky University installed a Mondo Super X rubber track at
its Tom Samuels Track in the summer of 2008. The new surface replaced
an eight-year-old urethane track.
Tom Samuels Track, named in honor of the former EKU football and
track and field 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 was the site for the Ohio Valley Conference Outdoor
Track and Field Championships.
Mondo’s Super X track has been the world’s top track for more than 30
years. Globally recognized as the fastest, most durable and environmentally safest track available, Mondo’s Super X track has been used in the
past eight Olympic Games, including the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
“Many of our athletes have achieved faster times on Mondo tracks, and
we want to provide them with the track that will help them reach top
speeds,” head coach Rick Erdmann said. “Mondo’s rubber surface has a
longer lifespan than urethane tracks, and we were impressed that Mondo
was chosen for the Olympics. That is a testament to the track’s performance and quality.”

Developed to maintain its initial physical properties over its life,
Super X provides consistent performance. The vulcanized natural rubber
surface provides maximum elasticity and unparalleled durability, and
its embossed, textured finish makes it extremely easy to maintain with
no resurfacing required. This high-performance track is renowned for its
shock absorption and optimal energy return, and an ideal blend of speed
and comfort minimizes the occurrence of injuries. More than 1,100 Mondo
Super 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.
EKU’s Mondo Super X track is the only one of its kind in the state of
Kentucky, and it features a brand new Daktronics results board and a
newly renovated disk/hammer ring.

Tom Samuels Track

Cross Country Facilities
The EKU cross country team is blessed with the Wood Chip Trail for
practice and competition. A beautiful, winding one-mile loop, the Wood
Chip Trail is located near the Stratton Building and the police training facilities on the southeast portion of campus. The trail was finished in 2005.
The EKU cross country team hosts its annual relay meet at the Wood Chip
Trail every year in September.
For training purposes, the cross country team uses a 5,000-meter grass
course located on campus near the Wood Chip Trail. The course is prime
for distance training as it features numerous rolling hills. It is also a very
attractive course that boasts four wooden bridges and several tree-lined
stretches while, at one point, weaving around a pond.
“We are very lucky to have two cross country training facilites right
here on campus,” head coach Rick Erdmann said. “Our cross country
student-athletes benefit not only from the quality but from the proximity
of these trails.”

�Athletics Hall of Fame

Track and Field / Cross Country in the EKU Athletics Hall of Fame
Grant Colehour (Founder)
A five-time All-American in track and a four-time All-American in cross country, Grant Colehour was a member
of the United States final Olympic Trials team in the 10,000 meters at South Lake Tahoe in 1968, where he placed
sixth. A three-time national college champion in the six-mile run, 5,000-meter run and 10,000-meter run, he was the
Ohio Valley Conference cross country champion four times (1965-68) and an OVC champion in track in five events.
Colehour was a member of the United States World Cross Country Team in 1966 and 1967 and ran in Europe in the
summer of 1966 in such countries as Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway. One of the first All-Americans in the
University’s history, he held EKU records in the mile, two-mile, three-mile and six-mile runs.
Grant Colehour
Billy Rucker (Founder)
Billy Rucker, one of the school’s outstanding quarter-milers, was a four-year letterman in track and participated on
the freshman basketball team at Eastern. He completed his four-year career at Eastern undefeated in the 440-yard
dash and led the Maroons to their first Ohio Valley Conference championship in 1957. That ’57 season saw Rucker
finish first or second in five events at the OVC meet at Murfreesboro, Tenn., including the 100-yard, 220-yard dash
and 440-yard dash, broad jump and the anchor leg of the mile relay. Upon receiving his Bachelor of Science degree
in industrial arts in 1959, he serve as an instrument designer with H.K. Ferguson Company in San Francisco, Calif.,
from 1960-62.

Ken Silvious (Founder)
Ken Silvious, two-time All-American in both cross country (1968, 1969) and track (1970, 1971), had four very successful years at Eastern. Perhaps his best came in 1970 when he placed first in every dual meet and won the Ohio
Valley Conference individual championship, setting a new course record with a time of 29:16.0. Breaking records was
certainly not an oddity for Silvious was able to set new course standards in six of these. Silvious won two individual
OVC cross country titles and placed second his freshman and sophomore years. He placed 14th in the 1969 NCAA
Cross Country Championships. Silvious still holds the Eastern record for the 3,000 meter steeplechase with a clocking of 8:44.8 set in 1970. Ohio.

Jackie Humphrey-Corbin (2006)
A 1988 Olympian who represented the United States in Seoul, Korea, Jackie Humphrey-Corbin is one of the most
decorated athletes ever to compete at Eastern. Humphrey ran the sixth-fastest time ever by an American in the
100-meter hurdles (12.83 seconds) and won the U.S. Olympic track and field trials in record-setting fashion during
the 1988 season. On August 29 of that year, the city of Richmond held a Jackie Humphrey Day to celebrate her accomplishments. Driven by a passion to be the best, Humphrey was a six-time NCAA All-American. She competed
in the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships each year of her collegiate career (1985-88). Her best finish was
second place in the 1987 100-meter hurdles, a race she finished in 13.06 seconds. Following her senior season, Humphrey earned Ohio Valley Conference Female Athlete of the Year accolades.
Jackie Humphrey-Corbin
Pamela Raglin-Andrews (2007)
One of the best middle distance runners in the nation during her collegiate career, Pam Raglin, as she was known
during her time at EKU, was a 13-time Ohio Valley Conference champion. The 1984 and 1985 OVC Women’s Outdoor Track and Field Athlete of the Year still holds the conference mark for best 800 meters time with a 2:07.71 in
1986. Raglin claimed the OVC outdoor championship in the 800 meters (1985, 1986); 1,500 meters (1984, 1985, 1986);
3,000 meters (1985, 1986); and the 5,000 meters (1984, 1985) during her career. Raglin’s time of 4:16.84 in the 1,500
meters during the 1986 season is still the EKU women’s outdoor record. Also in 1986, Raglin was selected as the OVC
Cross Country Runner of the Year. She won the three-mile championship with a time of 16:33.
Pamela Raglin-Andrews
