WILDCATS LOOKING FOR EXPERIENCE TO PRODUCE RESULTS IN THE SPRING
Down a set and facing a match point in favor of
Nebraska last spring, K-State’s Olga Klimova was so
nervous she couldn’t keep her body from shaking.
Trailing 40-15 with the Wildcats behind the Huskers 31, a miscue by Klimova could give Nebraska the match.
Klimova pulled herself together, not once, not twice,
but three times, and rallied for a win over Ewelina
Skaza.
Feeding off the energy and emotion, Fernanda
Da Valle and Jessica Simosa survived second set tiebreakers and ended the Huskers in the third set.
Klimova’s match highlighted a stunning Wildcat comeback and capped an undefeated run through the Big 12
north by Kansas State.
“It was a pretty amazing comeback,” Kansas
State head coach Steve Bietau said of the regular-season ending win. “In my 26 years of coaching, I’ve
never seen a match where a team was in this much
trouble and came back and won. It was a great effort
on our players’ part, to hang in there and keep fighting
the way they did.”
Perhaps more importantly, the match exposed a
significant change in the Wildcats. Beforehand, Kansas
State was a young, inexperienced team hoping to win
matches. Afterward, the team emerged as a tough and
gritty squad that knew how to win in tight situations.
“I think it was an important point,” Bietau said.
“It showed that they knew how to fight through a
tough situation and not give up, in a way that we
haven’t seen in a long time and in a way that we’d
never seen from that group. They really had their back
against the wall there. I think it was one of those
moments where when your team experiences something like that, then they start to believe that maybe
they can be good. It was one of those kinds of
moments.”
Following the win at Nebraska, Kansas State took
4 - KANSAS STATE WILDCATS
the momentum into the first round of the Big 12
Tournament, rolling past Oklahoma, 4-0, in the opening round. The Wildcats were eventually stopped by
Texas A&M, a team that advanced to the NCAA
Tournament and finished second in the Big 12 regular
season standings, but Kansas State’s new attitude has
lingered through the summer and fall.
“Last year you could say that we were really
young and didn’t have the experience,” Bietau said.
“You can’t say that anymore. We go into this year with
a lot better knowledge of what we’re going up against
and what we have to do to be successful.”
With a rigorous summer training schedule, the
Wildcats dispersed for the summer, only to return in
the fall stronger, faster, and more focused.
“It’s possible to work hard and not have a good
result, but with things that we’ve focused on I think
there is a direct correlation with how hard they worked
and what we’ll get out of it,” Bietau said. “First and
“
WE GO INTO THIS YEAR WITH A LOT BETTER KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT WE’RE GOING
UP AGAINST AND WHAT WE HAVE TO DO
TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
”
-HEAD COACH STEVE BIETAU
foremost, we had a great effort this fall. I would say
across the board, there wasn’t a weak link. Physically
we had a great effort and the conditioning went well.
They practiced hard. While you’re doing this you’re
hoping to instill some confidence and competitiveness
and just a general attitude and a way of doing things
that’s going to stick with you as you get into the spring
season. I was very pleased, I thought they worked
really hard, I thought they made a lot of progress this
fall.”
The 2007 squad doesn’t have any senior leadership but it does boast five juniors that Bietau will lean
heavily on to lead the team. Despite the lack of seniors, Bietau sees the number of upperclassmen as an
advantage.
“It gives you a chance to work on different
things,” Bietau said. “When you have a lot of young
players, sometimes I feel like the fall is spent coaching
them on how to be coached as opposed to coaching
them on tennis. We’ve been fortunate with this group
in that we’ve been able to focus a lot of time on how
to be a better athlete and how to be a better tennis
player.
“The maturity level is pretty good as you would
expect with as many juniors as we have on the team
here. It definitely gives you a chance to move on to
some higher level things and focus on more complex
issues. Hopefully that’s going to put us farther down
the road when we get to the spring.”
With a number of question marks headed into
the spring season, making any predictions for the
Wildcats’ success is difficult, but after posting the first
winning season since 2003, the team is looking to take
the next step both in the Big 12 and on the national
scene.
“They go hand in hand with each other. If you do
one you take care of the other. As you get into the top
SEASON PREVIEW i IS
four, five and six teams in the Big 12, you’re dealing with nationally ranked teams
and some of them really elite teams. That’s one of the things we talked about last
spring as we were looking ahead and thinking about over the summer. That’s really
been our focus for the last six or eight months.
“Our schedule as usual, is going to be pretty tough. We’re going to face a lot
of great teams. I wouldn’t say that there’s any one thing we need to do. Just get
better in all areas. Our team last year competed pretty hard. The vast majority of
the time I was happy with the way they competed. They can still do better. I think
you can apply the same outlook to every area of our team. I think we have the
capacity for greater leadership this year just because we have so many upperclassmen. Many of those upperclassmen have things to prove before they become great
leaders. I’m hoping that we have more places on the team where that’s going to
come from than we’ve had in a long time.
“Each team is a little bit different. This team is going to have to find its own
personality and its own way of operating. The time to do that is coming. I’m confident that they will do a good job based on everything they’ve done up to this point.”
Da Valle broke out last season, leading Kansas State in both singles and doubles wins with 22. Da Valle proved to be a fierce competitor in dual play, notching a
14-6 dual record and an 8-4 mark in Big 12 contests.
Da Valle was hampered this fall with a lingering foot injury and was held out
of the first two tournaments before making a surprise comeback at the ITA Central
Region Tournament in late October. Da Valle won her first match back and was one
win away from earning a berth in the tournament’s main draw.
“Based on Fernanda’s condition when she returned in August, I felt like if she
was able to play the ASU Tournament in November, she would be on track for a great
spring season. Through her hard work, she got ahead of schedule and was able to
play two weeks earlier the ITA Central Region Tournament. Though she didn’t play
enough matches to get to the top of her game, you could see a step ahead in
maturity from last year and some exciting potential for this spring.
“It will be great to see Fernanda playing at her full potential. Fernanda
is a great ball striker. She has the capacity to do things that a lot of girls playing college tennis don’t do. Having said all of that, she still has a ways to
go. Last year was an important year for her where she could kind of get
her feet on the ground and start to learn what works and what doesn’t work. We saw a pretty good performance there and I think she
can only get better this spring.”
Despite playing much of the 2006 season in pain, Klimova
proved to be one of Kansas State’s more reliable players in dual play
and was a force in doubles. Klimova was 10-6 in dual play and finished
third on the team with six singles wins in Big 12 action. In doubles,
Klimova teamed with Da Valle to win 14 doubles matches, including a 93 record in Big 12 matches.
Klimova added five more doubles wins to her total while rolling to a 52 record with Katerina Kudlackova in the fall.
“She’s coming off of two knee surgeries. Last season she worked awfully hard just to get on the court and really never was healthy or was at the point
where she could play like I know she’s capable of. She had another surgery at
the end of last year.
“Olga has battled so hard with the knee problems. We’re hoping she can get
to a point where all her energy can be directed toward training and playing. She has
made tremendous progress in that direction this fall. Once she is able to focus more
on her tennis, I think you will really see her singles game pick up. She has been solid
in doubles even when she was not 100 percent. That’s an area where she can be
exceptionally strong.
“When we saw her and Katka together, it was pretty evident that that could be
a good doubles team. We didn’t play them together a lot but the look that they gave
us when they were together was that I probably wouldn’t be able to keep them
apart for too long. I’m really excited about what Olga brings to the team for doubles and then her leadership skills as a captain. She brings a competitiveness and
also the sense of humor that she brings to practice every day and the matches is
something that is very valuable.”
As quiet as Kudlackova can be off the court, her 19 singles wins and 18
doubles wins in her debut season spoke loudly about the type of player she can
be. Kudlackova had mixed results in dual play and in the conference, but
showed flashes of being a very dynamic opponent.
Kudlackova continued her steady progress throughout the fall, posting a
5-7 record and wins in the final two matches of the season.
“Katka made some great improvements over the summer,” Bietau said.
“She was healthy, she worked hard over the summer, she got to play some
quality matches, and during that play came to realize some things that she
was going to have to do to move up. She’s hitting through the ball a little
more, hitting a little more penetrating ball. She’s always had great touch,
always been able to move the ball around, but maybe lacked a little bit of
power and wasn’t able to press people as much as she might have. She’s
definitely made some improvements and I think you can see it in her singles play. She’s been so solid in doubles, whoever you put with her in
doubles you have to consider them for our No. 1 doubles team. I think
when you see that kind of situation, you know she’s strong there.
“Katka is a solid player. She’s learning to play a little bit different
way. She’s learning to take advantage of her serve more, her reach
more, her ability to volley. She can play a game that’s not all that common
in women’s tennis in that she can come in quite a bit. Players who do that also have
to be solid in the back court and I think she’s done some things there that make it
easier for her to get in and put pressure on people and make her able to stay in
points longer when she has to stay back.”
After a freshman season that saw the record books rewritten, Tamar
Kvaratskhelia spent the 2006 season showing that she knows how to win matches
and do it at a very high level. Kvaratskhelia was 17-14 at the top of the Wildcats’
lineup last season and her career .695 winning percentage is second-highest in
Kansas State history.
Kvaratskhelia, who won her second All-Big 12 singles honor in 2006, posted a
6-4 singles mark in the fall and will be a huge factor in the success of the team this
season.
“Tako continued to work at her game this fall and
we really saw an improvement in the last two tournaments. I think she’s approaching the All-Big 12 level
that we’re used to seeing from her,” Bietau
said. “She has at times had very good
results in the fall, but at times she
hasn’t. When we start playing dual
matches and start playing one or
two matches a week, start to get
into a rhythm in doing that, she’s
been an important part of our
team and I expect that she will
be this spring.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the 2006 season, Maria

reached a point where what she was doing started to be something special. We’re
obviously hopeful for Maria and for our team that we’re going to get her back in
there and she can really be a huge factor for us.”
Tereza Prochazkova saw limited action for Kansas State last spring but when it
mattered the most she competed the hardest. Prochazkova put together a 4-4 mark
in dual play and won two matches for Kansas State during Big 12 competition.
In the fall, Prochazkova played the most matches she’s been able to since
arriving at Kansas State while earning three singles wins and four doubles wins.
“Tereza has been very responsive to coaching. A year ago in the fall, I told her
that she had to practice harder and be more focused. She did that. When she was
a freshman she fought very hard in matches, we just didn’t see the same thing in
practice. When she started her sophomore year the message was you know how to
fight when you get in a match, let’s see you do that every day in practice and she
did that.
“Tereza came back from this summer in great shape and really ready to
improve her game. Her serve is better and back hand is better and she earned the
opportuity to play a lot more matches this fall. She’s certainly smart enough and hard
working enough that she can get in there and be very competitive. If you have a
category for players who have their act together – not just in tennis but in life in
general, they know where they’re supposed to be, can see what they need to do,
they’re willing to work hard and have a pretty good perspective on things – Tereza
is right at the top on our team. Her maturity level is there and I see nothing but
good things ahead for her this spring.
“We wanted to get a lot of matches for her this fall and we were able to do
that. I expect Tereza to play a bigger role that she did last year and I think she’ll be
very important for our team this spring.”
Prochazkova put forth a stellar effort in the classroom last year and earned
First Team Academic All-Big 12 honors.
Being the only freshman on an experienced team and handling the expectations of a program that has recently grown accustomed to very strong freshman success can be a daunting task, but Natasha Vieira shook it off and posted a 5-5 record
in the fall.
Vieira won in her first ever collegiate match during the Kansas State
Invitational and won matches in every tournament she appeared in.
“Natasha has probably taken as big a jump as anyone on our team this fall,” Bietau
said. “I think some of that you attribute to being a freshman and being new and
some of it you attribute to being in a college program where you train a little bit
harder.
“Her fitness level is improving, her strokes are improving, and she’s got a good
head on her shoulders. She’s very coachable, it’s a relatively smooth process to work
with her. That’s a compliment to her, especially being as young as she is. She doesn’t have some of the maturity issues that a lot of freshmen have.
“She’s going to be able to help us, exactly where and exactly how, I’m not sure
how that’s going to play out at this point. There are a number of things we just don’t
know about this team yet and we won’t for two or three months, but Natasha will
definitely be in there for us.”
Perhaps the biggest and most surprising performance of the fall was the play of Viviana Yrureta. Yrureta
tore through seven of her first eight opponents, cruising to

COACHING STAFF S
STEVE BIETAUi
HEAD COACH
23RD YEAR
Kansas State women’s tennis coach Steve Bietau enters his 23rd
season as coach of the Wildcats. Bietau eclipsed the 200 win
plateau in 2006 and his teams have won 207 dual matches in his
22 seasons as the leader of the Kansas State program. The continued success of his teams both on and off the court show
Bietau’s knowledge and commitment to Kansas State
University and the Wildcat tennis program.
Bietau’s 2006 squad finished the season 11-10, the eighth
season in Bietau’s tenure that the Wildcats finished with a winning record.
The 2006 Wildcats went 6-5 in Big 12 competition and finished undefeated in the north division. Kansas State spent the
entire season ranked in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association
(ITA) polls and finished the season as the No. 54 team in the
nation.
During the 2006 season, Alena Jecminkova, who played for
Bietau and the Wildcats from 1999 to 2002, was named to the Big
12 Women’s Tennis 10th Anniversary Team.
In 2003, the Wildcats had the best season of any Bietau team and
posted a school-record 15 victories and a record-tying seven Big 12 wins
en route to reaching the round of 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the first
STEVE BIETAUi
time in school history. K-State upset No. 9 Virginia Commonwealth and No. 16
Northwestern before bowing out to No. 5 USC in the regional semifinals. It marked the third
time the Wildcats have advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Kansas State finished the season
at No. 32 in the ITA final poll and were ranked No. 1 in the ITA Central Region poll.
Individually, Petra Sedlmajerova and Paulina Castillejos were ranked No. 4 in doubles in the
region, while Sedlmajerova (No. 8), Maria Rosenberg (No. 13) and Jessica Simosa (No. 21) finished the season ranked in singles in the region.
During the memorable season, the team posted a six-match winning streak, the fifthlongest in school history, and earned wins over NCAA Tournament participants Colorado and
Missouri. Sedlmajerova was named to the All-Big 12 singles’ team, while Sedlmajerova and
Castillejos were selected to the all-conference doubles team.
In additon, Sedlmajerova
became Kansas State’s career leader in both singles’ (77) and doubles’ (73) wins and third in
singles’ winning percentage (.620). Also, Hayley McIver and Andrea Cooper won 22 and 20
matches, respectively, becoming the first Wildcats since 2001 to have a 20-win season. McIver
was twice named the Big 12 Player of the Week on April 1 and 15.
The success in 2003 was nothing new for Bietau, who has twice been named the conference coach of the year (1989, 2000) and ITA Central Region Coach of the Year (1990, 1996)
during his 19 years in Manhattan.
The 2000 Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year, Bietau had yet another successful season
in 2000. The Wildcats posted 14 victories overall, the most since 1990, including a win over
Kansas, the first win for Kansas State over the Jayhawks since 1973, and a win over then-No.

before falling to Kansas, 5-4, in the semifinals. In 1998, the Wildcats lost in the round of the
regional to No. 3-seed New Mexico, 5-3.
Kansas State’s success is due in large part to Bietau’s outstanding recruiting, especially on the
international level. Bietau recruited Kansas State’s only two All-Americans, Yana Dorodnova (1998)
and Karina Kuregian (1994) from Russia and Armenia, respectively.
ASSISTANT COACH
2ND YEAR
Besides Chuda, Kansas State has produced three other conference singles champions under
Bietau’s tutelage, Karina Kuregian, Michele Riniker and Helen Schildknecht, and with Kuregian and
Martina Shrubsole and Paulina Castillejos and Hayley McIver, a pair of conference championship
doubles teams.
Bietau is also committed to his athletes’ success in the classroom and over the years he has
coached eight ITA Scholar-Athletes, three Verizon Academic All-America and All-District selections,
including Sedlmajerova in 2002 and 2003, and 16 members to the All-Big 12 Academic team,

squads each were named ITA All-Academic teams with a combined GPA of over 3.4.
Other strong seasons for the Wildcats include 1992, when Kansas State finished second in in
the Big Eight and 1989 when the Wildcats won a program-best 14 victories.
Over the years Bietau’s work has been respected and recognized by his peers, and for his
efforts, Bietau has twice been honored by the ITA, winning the Central Region Coach of the Year
honor in both 1990 and 1996.
In addition to his coaching duties, Bietau has served as a member of the ITA’s Board of
Directors. He also served as the ITA Central Region Chair from 1992-97. In addition, Bietau was
a member of the NCAA Women’s Tennis Committee from 1992-96 and served as chair of the committee in 1997.
Prior to coming to Kansas State in 1984-85, Bietau served as head men’s and women’s tennis
coach at Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College from 1980-84. There, he led Hutchinson to a 13th
place finish at the National Junior College Championships in 1984. While at Hutchinson, Bietau
also spent time as a teaching professional at Prairie Dunes Tennis Club in Hutchinson.

Coach: Steve Bietau
Bietau and the 2006 team swept through the Big 12 north.
THIS IS KANSAS STATE S
THIS IS KANSAS STATE
QUALITY
The North Central Association's accreditation report, the equivalent of a grade card
for colleges, gave a review so glowing it
could have been an A+. The report praised
K-State's "remarkable spirit" and "noteworthy" scholarship record.
STUDENTS
About 22,000. More than 1,000 graduated
first or second in their high school classes.
That's more valedictorians and salutatorians than any other Kansas college.
COLLEGES
Arts and sciences; engineering; agriculture; education; business administration;
human ecology; architecture; planning
and design; veterinary medicine; and technology and aviation (in Salina).
PROFESSORS
Dean Zollman, a K-State physics professor,
was named the 1996 Professor of the Year
for research/doctoral universities by the
Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement
of Teaching.
It's a vibrant time at Kansas State. The most easily recognizable part of this new period of growth and
improvement comes in the form of enrollment figures. More than 23,000 students enrolled at Kansas State during the fall
2005 academic year. That's a stunning accomplishment for President Jon Wefald and his staff, who have spearheaded a
huge enrollment increase since their arrival in 1986.
Under his leadership, K-State has added about 2.0 million square feet of new university buildings, including a
new library, a new art museum, and a nationally acclaimed plant science building. In addition, during the Wefald years
enrollments increased from about 16,000 to more than 23,000; K-State has built a healthy endowment program and
established a national presence in athletics. With Wefald at the helm, K-State's total research funding increased to record
numbers. The university returns nearly $17 for every $1 of state funding it receives.
Founded on February 16, 1863, Kansas State is the oldest public institution of higher education in Kansas and
one of the nation's first land-grant universities. Throughout its history, K-State's mission has been rooted in the principles
set forth in the Morrill Act-to provide teaching, research and service to the citizens of Kansas, the nation and the world.
The university's 664-acre wooded campus with historic sandstone buildings is located in Manhattan (pop. 49,000). It's a
pleasant community nestled in the scenic Flint Hills, 125 miles west of Kansas City.
Commuter air service in and out of Manhattan Regional Airport connects the city with major airports all over
the Midwest. Located five miles north of campus is Tuttle Creek Reservoir, a favorite outlet of students for boating, water
skiing, swimming and fishing.
K-State has gained a nationwide reputation for producing prestigious scholarship winners. Only Yale,
Stanford, Radcliffe and Harvard have had more. With such a reputation for excellence, it's no surprise that K-State's
enrollment has surged to an all-time high of more than 23,000 students. Every county in the state, every state in the
nation and numerous countries around the world are represented by students attending K-State.
Over 200 course programs are offered in the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Business
Administration, Agriculture, Education, Architecture and Design, Human Ecology, Technology and Aviation and Veterinary
Medicine. The Graduate Schools offers 65 master’s degrees, 45 doctoral degrees and 22 graduate certificates in multiple
disciplines across campus. There is more than $151 million available in student financial assistance, including $6.5 million
in scholarships. Seven out of 10 students receive student financial assistance.
Even with 23,000 students, K-State is committed to individualized education whenever possible. For example,
freshman English classes have no more than 22 students, introductory chemistry labs average 18 students, introductory
art classes average 23 students and speech classes are limited to 23 students. Eighty percent of classes have 40 students or less, and the average class size for all undergraduate classes is 23 students. Only five percent of classes have
100 students or more.
DEGREES
K-State offers more than 200 undergraduate majors and options, graduate study in
veterinary medicine and 65 master's and
43 doctoral programs.
AWARDS
Our students win big. The debate team
has swept the national championships in
two of the past six years. K-Staters have
also captured national titles in competitions ranging from acting to yearbook
design.
ACTIVITIES
Campus organizations range from the
hockey club to academic honoraries. More
than 380 campus groups are available.
The Landon Lecture series brings newsmakers such as Elizabeth Dole, Jimmy
Carter and Colin Powell to campus.

THIS IS MANHATTAN, KANSAS S
THIS IS MANHATTAN, KANSAS
WELCOME TO THE LITTLE APPLE
Manhattan is located in the northern end of the beautiful Flint Hills. The city was founded in the first days
of Kansas settlement and currently has a population
of 45,000 in the city, 100,000 in the immediate
region. It is a modern, progressive city that is home
to Kansas State University, the Fort Riley Military
Reservation and several successful corporate citizens.
It is located in north central Kansas, on Interstate 70,
125 miles west of Kansas City, and 50 miles west of
the state capitol in Topeka.
HISTORY
It was on Valentine’s Day in 1857 that Manhattan officially became a city in the Midwest. And it was only
because the Kansas River had been low two years
earlier that the city was located where it is now.
It all began in the spring of 1855 when the
Cincinnati Company left Ohio on the steamboat
Hartford. They were headed for central Kansas via
the Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri, and Kansas Rivers.
Their goal: to settle a town and name it Manhattan,
thinking it might become a second Manhattan, New
York.
On the way up the Kansas River, three men
stopped, went ashore, and hired a wagon. They
drove to what is now Junction City, where they
intended to start the Manhattan of the Midwest. But
the Hartford ran aground in the
Kansas River south of the confluence of the Blue and Kansas
Rivers. The Cincinnati Company
and all of the small groups of
settlers already in the area
joined forces to form a
town, which they agreed to
call Manhattan.
The first post office
was established in
1856, and the city
became incorporated
February 14, 1857.
Manhattan has
grown steadily
since then.
Although
Approximately 20 of country music’s hottest artists performed at the 2006 Country Stampede.
Manhattan, Kansas, may not be another New York
City in size, residents of Manhattan of the Midwest
think you’ll savor the savvy of “The Little Apple.”
“The Little Apple” is home to more than 45,000
people today. Manhattan is nestled in among the picturesque Flint Hills, so named for their numerous
bands of limestone and flint. These bands of flinty
gravel convinced many an early settler that the land
was not suitable for cultivation. A few resourceful pioneers, however, chose to stay and build their farmsteads in the sheltered valleys where water was available even in times of drought and where their cattle
could graze on the grassy uplands.
The Flint Hills region still remains largely
untouched by the plow and is the last large preserve
of native tallgrass prairie in the U.S.
Today, Manhattan residents take pride in the
local history. The community is especially proud of its
nickname, “The Little Apple”-symbolic of a polished,
wholesome Midwestern Manhattan, founded by pioneers who foresaw great things for this part of the
U.S.
A TRUE COLLEGE TOWN
A student-athlete’s life involves more than
academics and athletics. Like most college
students, student-athletes need to relax
and have a good time, and Manhattan
is the place to do just that. Manhattan reflects the
joys and opportunities of big-city living while retaining
a friendly, open atmosphere. Manhattan has many
appealing places to shop, eat and socialize. An
award-winning shopping mall is located in the heart
of the downtown region, and Aggieville – a district of
shops and restaurants just beyond the southern border of the campus – continues to be particularly popular with students. There are several beautiful parks
and walkways throughout the city, while picturesque
Tuttle Creek Reservoir sits just five miles from campus for seasonal swimming, water skiing and boating.
Additionally, the 13,500-seat Bramlage Coliseum have
become a favorite stop for major concerts throughout
the year.
TUTTLE CREEK LAKE
Tuttle Creek State Park and the Tuttle Creek Resevoir
are located just north of Manhattan. The 12,500 acre
lake offers everything a water sports or outdoors
enthusiast could want. From water skiing to fishing,
or a hike around one of the park’s many trails,
there are numerous activities available just
minutes from campus.
- Located 5 miles north of
Manhattan
- Stocked with a wide vari
ety of fish

ACADEMIC SUPPORT S
PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE IN THE CLASSROOM
Kansas State’s Academic Learning Center provides a variety of services to help K-State student athletes excel in the classroom.
Kansas State tennis is unique in that it has a program that nurtures the development of its student-athletes. This system
begins with a focus on the period of transition from high school
to college and continues throughout the college years. Finally,
career opportunities are cultivated for the student-athlete as he
passes into the next phase of development, where close contact is maintained for a lifetime.
COLLEGE TRANSITION/SUCCESS SEMINAR
• Classes offered to incoming KSU tennis players during the
first semester on campus.

their major in an effort to provide the first-year student-athlete
with the best academic course load and academic support services for each individual.
• For example, a series of core freshman courses have been
developed within the areas of English, math and social sciences
which provide a solid base for the pursuit of any major.

POWERCAT STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING i IS
PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE IN THE GYM
The Powercat Strength and Conditioning Program is designed to “build better athletes,” not to develop powerlifters, Olympic weightlifters or body-builders. Led by the 1998 National Strength and
Conditioning Coach of the Year Rod Cole as well as assistant coaches Mark Oberkrom, Karl Kasselman and Scott Bird and the rest of the staff trains the Wildcats to play the game! Obviously, when
most people think of strength coaches, they think of weightlifting. Kansas State’s Vanier strength complex boasts two weight rooms, over 12,000 square feet of floor space, 35,000 lbs. of weights, plus
platforms, racks, benches and machines. In 2006 the John L. Allen Strength Center was completed at Tointon Family Stadium adding another 1,500 square feet of weight room access. Weight training is a big part of the program, but the strength and conditioning does not coach weightlifters, it trains athletes. It’s all about being prepared to win on game day. Speed development, agility, flexibility, coordination, endurance and nutrition are some of the areas that fall under the umbrella of strength and conditioning. Kansas State strives to develop the total athlete through a total body program. K-State employs nutrition counters in both strength facilities to “fuel the athletes” and equip them to meet the demands of training.

TRADITIONS S
NICKNAME
Through its first 19 seasons of athletic competition, Kansas State had used
“Aggies” as its nickname. But prior to the 1915 season, new football coach
John “Chief” Bender gave his squad the nickname “Wildcats.” The moniker
lasted the one season Bender coached at K-State. Under football coach Z.G.
Clevenger in 1917, the school team became known as the “Farmers.” In 1920
another new football coach, Charles Bachman, took over the program, renaming the team “Wildcats.” This time, the nickname stuck.
WILLIE WILDCAT
Willie, a student bedecked in a oversized Wildcat head, is Kansas State’s No. 1
fan. Willie Wildcats are selected yearly by a panel appointed by the cheerleading coach. The mascot is a central part of athletic contests, but also attends
functions around the state as an ambassador. Traditionally, the identity of the
student portraying Willie is kept secret.
KSU COLORS
The school color Royal Purple was adopted in the fall of 1896 by a committee
of “Miss Minnie L. Copeland, Jr. and Miss Winnifred Houghton and Miss Ina E.
Holyrod, of the senior class, and perhaps one or more others.” Although KState’s only official color is purple, white has been used as a complimentary
color for many years. Silver is also a common second or third color. Former
head basketball coach Cotton Fitzsimmons incorporated gold during his twoyear stint (1968-70), but gold or yellow has not been used since that time.
The term “Purple Pride,” which is often used in association with KSU athletics,
was given rise during the tenure of head football coach Vince Gibson (196774).
POWERCAT LOGO
One of the most recognizable athletic logos in the nation is the K-State
Powercat. The logo was introduced by Bill Snyder shortly after his arrival in
Manhattan as the attitude of the entire athletics department and university
was changing.
Manhattan native Tom Bookwalter, in cooperation with head coach Bill Snyder,
created the powerful logo that is a prominent feature on the K-State football
helmet, at Wagner Field, on the back of the Dev Nelson Pressbox, clothing,
flags, bottled water, vanity plates for cars and just about anywhere there can
be one.
SCHOOL SONGS
The Alma Mater was selected as a result of an 1888 campus contest. H.W.
Jones (’88) was responsible for K-State’s prized result. Jones’ original work
was four stanzas including the chorus. His version has been slightly altered
over the years to include just two stanzas and the changing of the words from
KSAC to KSU. The school’s fight song is entitled “Wildcat Victory.”
ALMA MATER
“I know a spot that I love full well, ‘Tis not in forest nor yet in dell, ever it
holds me with magic spell, I think of thee Alma Mater. KSU, we’ll carry the
banner high, KSU long, long may thy colors fly. Loyal to thee, thy children
shall swell the cry. “Hail, Hail, Hail Alma Mater.”
WILDCAT VICTORY
“Fight you K-State Wildcats. For Alma Mater fight-fight-fight. “Glory into combat for the purple and white. Faithful to our colors, we shall ever be, fighting
ever fighting for a Wildcat Victory!”
WABASH CANNONBALL
Everyone knows that familiar tune Wabash Cannonball. In fact, Wabash and KState are almost synonymous. What many people do not know is how the
song became an integral part of Wildcat athletics. In the fall of 1969, the
department of music burnt down. Every piece of music in the building was
destroyed. The only thing that was salvaged was what was in the band director’s brief case. That included a piece of music titled the Wabash Cannonball.
With an upcoming football game and no music, that left only one thing to do.
The band members played the song loud and often. A song that originally had
no connection became a second fight song.
SLOGANS
Several chants and slogans are used in association with the team. “Purple
Pride” and “Eat ‘Em Up, Eat ‘Em Up K-S-U” were mentioned earlier on this
page. One slogan that has virtually died out is “Every Man A Wildcat.” The
term was popular in the ‘50s, ‘60s and early ‘70s, and once adorned the front
of the Ahearn Field House press box. Since the term referred to only one gender, however, it has faded. Kansas State, itself, is referred to in many different
shortened versions. The most popular is “K-State,” which is used by alums,
friends and journalists from coast to coast.

UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION S
Dr. Jon Wefald
University President
Pacific Lutheran ‘59
Few college presidents have been as well recognized nationally for improving the athletic and academic programs on a campus as has KState's Jon Wefald.
Lauded by publications from the Christian Science Monitor to Sports Illustrated to USA Today, and by broadcasters like Paul Harvey, the
accomplishments during Wefald's tenure have been well noted in the national media. USA Today called these achievements the "miracle
in Manhattan."
Under his leadership, K-State has added about 2.0 million square feet of new university buildings, including a new library, a new art museum, and a nationally acclaimed plant science building. In addition, during the Wefald years enrollments increased from about 16,000 to
more than 23,000; K-State has built a healthy endowment program and established a national presence in athletics. With Wefald at the
helm, K-State's total research funding increased to record numbers. The university returns nearly $17 for every $1 of state funding it
receives.
Since his arrival in 1986, K-State leads the nation's public universities in the total number of Rhodes, Marshall, Truman, Goldwater and
Udall scholarship winners. K-State students have won more Truman scholarships, more Goldwater scholarships and more Phi Kappa Phi Fellowships than any other public
university in the nation. By recognizing and encouraging excellence, Wefald has helped K-State achieve the pinnacle of success.
Before coming to K-State, Wefald served as Chancellor of the State University System in Minnesota from 1982-86, a system comprised of seven universities. He was
president of Southwest State in Marshall, Minn., from 1977-82; Minnesota's Commissioner of Agriculture from 1971-77, and a member of the faculty at Gustavus Adolphus
from 1965-70.
He earned his B.A. from Pacific Lutheran in 1959, his M.A. in history and political science from Washington State University in 1961, and his doctorate in history from
the University of Michigan in 1965.
Born Nov. 24, 1937, Wefald is married to the former Ruth Ann Joynt. They have two adult sons, Skipp and Andy, both have earned degrees from K-State and both
married K-State graduates.

Faculty Athletic
Representative
Stanford ‘67
Bob Krause has played a key role in the development of both the university and the athletic
department since his appointment as K-State's
vice president for institutional advancement in
September 1986.
Krause is the chief student affairs officer for
Kansas State University and also oversees many of
the day-to-day operations of the athletic department. He coordinates the university's on-going
activities with the KSU Foundation, the K-State
Alumni Association and works with various external groups such as the Board of
Regents and other governmental agencies.
Since his arrival at K-State, Krause has focused attention on ways to improve
the attraction and retention of students; means by which the university can better
assist Manhattan and the state of Kansas in the area of economic development
through cooperative endeavors with local and state agencies; and ways to expand
public awareness regarding the value society receives from the teaching, research
and service provided by K-State faculty.
Krause came to K-State from the Minnesota State University System, where he
served as director of student affairs from 1983 to 1986. In that role, he coordinated
system-wide policy and program development for seven state universities enrolling
some 51,000 students. From 1975 to 1983, he served as vice president for student
affairs at Southwest State University in Minnesota.
Krause received his bachelor's degree in art education and art from Western
Illinois University in 1967 and his master's in college student personnel work from
Michigan State University in 1968.

Asking 18 and 19-year-old college students what
career they’re preparing for isn’t a question
Michael Holen, dean of College of Education,
tends to ask. Instead, Holen encourages students
to pursue academic programs to provide them a
range of intellectual experiences well beyond what
they would need in any specific job.
Holen, who has served as Faculty Athletics
Representative since May of 1999, came to KState in 1971. He has served as a professor,
department head and associate dean before being named dean of education in
1991. In 2004, he was appointed the Skeen Professor of Education as part of the
university’s Faculty of Distinction program.
In 1988, Holen received the Presidential Award for Distinguished Service to
Minority Education after helping many predominantly black universities develop academic programs and administrative systems. In 2002, the faculty of the Leadership
Studies Program named their annual outstanding leadership award in his honor. He
has twice chaired the Regents’ Council of Education Deans and serves as K-State’s
Faculty Athletics Representative to the Big 12 Conference.
Holen earned his bachelor’s degree in history and literature from Stanford
University and his master’s and doctorate degrees in educational psychology, both
from the University of Oregon. He was designated Oregon’s 2004 Distinguished
Alumnus of the College of Education.
ATHLETIC ADMINISTRATION i IS
Tim Weiser
Director of Athletics
Emporia State ‘81, ‘82
In just five years as Athletics Director at Kansas
State, Tim Weiser has guided Wildcat athletics to
an unprecedented level of success that has seen it
emerge as one of the Big 12 Conference’s premier
programs.
And while he is quick to deflect praise for Kansas
State’s accomplishments toward student-athletes,
coaches, staff, university administrators and the
program’s loyal fans, few can argue that Weiser’s
visionary leadership has spearheaded a complete
transformation of the athletics department that has K-State poised to meet the challenges of the 21st Century.
Guided by a philosophy of providing the best possible experience for Kansas
State’s student-athletes, Weiser, who recently agreed to a 10-year rollover contract
extension, has been able to focus the efforts of an entire department and as a result
usher in the most successful era in athletics ever at K-State.
Since his arrival in July of 2001, Weiser, 48, has employed a combination of
strong management principles and his sound financial planning to yield consistent
growth in the areas of revenues, donor and corporate support and facility enhancement.
This focus on fund-raising and fiscal responsibility has enabled Kansas State to
undertake an aggressive yet fiscally responsible
approach to facility improvements that have yielded
across-the-board upgrades for nearly all of K-State’s
16 intercollegiate athletics programs.
In the last two years alone, K-State has completed a nearly $6 million upgrade to the Vanier
Sports Complex and Bill Snyder Family Stadium,
constructed new team facilities for the track & field
and rowing programs, and installed new playing
surfaces in just about all of its competitive and practice venues, including new FieldTurf in the Indoor
Football Complex, Brandeberry Indoor Complex and
Tointon Family Stadium.
During his first year at Kansas State, construction was completed on Frank Myers Field at Tointon
Family Stadium, bringing the Wildcats’ baseball
facility to a stature as one of the best in the Big 12 Conference.
Kansas State’s annual athletics operating budget has also taken quantum leaps
forward under Weiser’s direction, growing from $27 million in fiscal year 2001 to one
projected at over $37 million for the upcoming academic year. Additionally, Weiser’s
forward-thinking philosophies have established the department’s first-ever reserve
fund as K-State has finished in the black in each year of his tenure.
On the field, the Wildcats continue to enjoy unprecedented success. K-State
has sent no fewer than 10 of its 16 teams on to postseason play in each of the last
three years, while producing 38 All-Americans.
In 2003-04, Weiser’s third year at the helm, Kansas State became the first Big
12 institution to win conference championships in three top-tier sports (football, volleyball, women’s basketball) in the same year. And, if you consider that K-State also
had at least one first-team academic All-American on each of those championship
teams, one begins to get a clear picture of what K-State athletics have become during Weiser’s tenure.
Kansas State has also become one of the conference leaders in classroom
achievement. Over the past three years nearly half of K-State’s student-athletes have
achieved a grade-point average of 3.0 or better, earning Big 12 Commissioner’s
Honor Roll distinction.
The popularity of Wildcat athletics has also skyrocketed to an all-time high
under Weiser’s direction. The football and men’s basketball programs are expected
to both produce impressive increased season-ticket sales numbers in 2006-07, while
the women’s volleyball and basketball programs both continue to rank among the
national leaders in attendance. On the diamond, K-State baseball enjoyed its highest average season attendance ever at Tointon Family Stadium during 2006.
This increase in popularity, combined with the public’s confidence in Weiser’s
leadership, has helped generate record revenues in the areas of fund-raising, corporate sponsorship and media rights. The number of contributors to the Mike Ahearn
Scholarship fund is now approaching 8,000, representing a 25 percent increase over
2002-03 and a nearly 50 percent increase from Weiser’s first year at K-State.
Corporate support of K-State athletics is also at an all-time high, buoyed by a recordsetting five-year sponsorship pact with ALLTEL.
Weiser has also negotiated new deals for K-State’s radio and third-tier television rights, including a 10-year multimedia and marketing rights contract with
Learfield Communications, Inc., that is the largest revenue contract in the history of
Wildcat athletics.
In an effort to continue this era of success, Weiser implemented a first-ever
Strategic Plan to serve as a blueprint for the department during the next three years.
The plan encompasses every aspect of the department and includes K-State’s ongoing effort to provide its student-athletes with top-notch facilities.
Weiser’s accomplishments in bringing significant and positive changes to the
K-State athletics landscape have not gone unnoticed as he has developed a strong
profile on the national level. A recently-named member of the NCAA Championships
Cabinet as well as the NCAA Baseball Committee, Weiser was selected as the 200405 NACDA Central Region Athletics Director of the Year in June. He has also received
the General Robert Neyland Outstanding Athletics Director Award from the AllAmerica Football Foundation and is a member of the Executive Committee of
NACDA.
As an active member of the NCAA Division I-A Athletic Director’s Association
Board of Directors, Weiser has additionally been involved with a number of university visits as part of the NCAA Division I Peer Review program.
Named Kansas State’s 13th Director
of Athletics on July 1, 2001, Weiser’s arrival
at K-State was a homecoming for the native
Kansan, who was raised in Great Bend and
received his bachelor’s degree in psychology
and a master’s in counseling from Emporia
State while competing on a baseball scholarship.
He came to Kansas State after a successful three-year run as Director of Athletics
at Colorado State, where Ram athletics experienced a similar renaissance that included
record increases in fund-raising and revenue
generation and the completion of the $8 million Fum McGraw athletic center.
Weiser also played a central role in the development of the Mountain West
Conference during his CSU tenure. He was involved in hiring the commissioner,
negotiating television packages and developing the conference’s constitution and bylaws.
Prior to his tenure at Colorado State, Weiser served as athletics director at
Eastern Michigan for four years and held the same position at Austin Peay State
University from July 1988 to September 1993.
At Eastern Michigan, he directed an athletics department which included 22
sports. In his four seasons, he turned a deficit of more than a half-million dollars into
a six-figure surplus while simultaneously adding two new women’s sports. In all,
EMU won 14 conference championships during his tenure and in 1996 captured the
Reese Trophy, awarded annually by the Mid-American Conference for overall excellence in men’s sports. He also directed and supervised the design and construction
of a $30 million convocation center which opened in October 1998.
In his first stint as an athletics director at Austin Peay, Weiser’s five-year tenure
witnessed the development of a number of academic programs to enhance the support of student-athletes at the school while spearheading various fund-raising
endeavors which generated more than $1 million in facility improvements.
Weiser worked for five years at Wichita State, serving in various roles from
February 1983 through July 1988. He directed the compliance office and supervised
the academic support unit before moving into a role in the development office,
where he was responsible for the bulk of fund-raising for improvements to Wichita
State’s baseball facility. Weiser spent his last year at Wichita State as the associate
athletics director and was responsible for day-to-day operations of the Shockers’ programs.
Weiser and his wife, Susan, are the parents of two children. Melanie is a gymnast at the University of Arizona, while Rudy is currently a standout catcher on the
Manhattan High School baseball team.
“If we do our job well, in four or five years our
student-athletes will walk across the stage and grab a
diploma, and if on that hand is a championship ring, we
will have provided the best
experience possible.”

Key Rule: NCAA BYLAW 13.01.5
In Division I, representatives of athletics interest are
prohibited from making in-person, on-or-off campus
recruiting contacts, written, telephonic communications or e-mail transactions with a prospect or the
prospect’s relatives or legal guardians.
Interpretations
1. A representative of a Division I institution is prohibited from making in-person recruiting contact with
a prospect and his or her parents/guardian on or off
campus.
Limited Exception: You may have contact with a
prospect regarding permissible pre-enrollment activities such as summer employment, provided the
prospect has already signed a National Letter of
Intent and K-State is aware that you are making
these contacts in regard to employment.
2. A Division I representative is prohibited from writing or telephoning a prospect and his or her parents
or legal guardians.
Limited Exception: You may have a phone conversation with a prospect only if the prospect initiates
the call. Such a call may not be prearranged by a KState staff member and you are not permitted to
have a recruiting conversation, but may exhibit normal civility. You must refer any questions about the
University’s athletic program to the athletic department.
3. A representative is prohibited from contacting a
prospect’s coach, principal, or counselor in an attempt
to evaluate the prospect.
Limited Exception: NCAA rules do not preclude you
from viewing a prospect’s contest on your own initiative, but you may not contact the prospect, pick up
game films or transcripts.
What can I do?
If you know of a high school or junior college student-athlete who might want to attend Kansas State,
the only permissible activity for a representative is to
call the appropriate K-State coach.
What is an “Extra Benefit?”
An extra benefit would include provision of any transportation, meals, clothes, entertainment, preferential
loan terms, wages not commensurate with duties, or
other benefits offered to a prospect or current student-athlete which is unavailable to the general student population.
What can you do with prospects?
DO feel free to attend high school and junior college
athletic events. You simply cannot have any contact
with the prospective student-athletes or relatives.
Should you find yourself seated next to parents of a
prospect, DO NOT initiate conversation with the relatives. If conversation is initiated with you, respond in
a civil manner, but DO NOT discuss K-State’s athletic
program with them. If they raise questions about

athletics, remind them that the NCAA prohibits you
from discussing athletics with them. Direct their questions to the athletic department. You MAY discuss
the University in general, and its academic programs.
DO continue established family relationships with
friends and neighbors. Contacts with sons and daughters of those families are permitted as long as they
are not made for recruiting purposes and are not
prompted by Wildcat coaching staff members. You
ARE permitted to play “pick up” games, continue
neighborhood picnics or backyard barbecues and
engage in your normal activities with prospects and
their parents who are family friends.
DO feel free to attend a public event (i.e. awards dinner) at which prospects are in attendance. NO
attempt should be made to contact or recruit the
prospect at these events.
What can I do for current K-State athletes?
DO feel free to invite a student-athlete to your home
for an occasional meal, but you must first contact the
coach in the sport in which the student-athlete is a
participant. Remember, the student-athlete must provide his or her own transportation. You may do this
a max of once per school term per athlete.
DO feel free to invite a team for dinner or to meet
with a group of alumni in a city where they are competing. The NCAA permits student-athletes AS A
TEAM to receive special benefits not permitted as
individuals. Arrangements for such events must be
made in advance with the head coach or appropriate
athletic staff member.
Other questions and answers:
Q.
May I accompany the coach during a “home”
visit with the prospect?
A.
No
Q.
May a booster group finance a season-ending
banquet? May it purchase any awards for the team?
A.
Yes, provided all funds are expended through
the athletic department. Since the NCAA has established a value limit on awards received by studentathletes, it is important to have all awards approved
by the athletic department.
Additional Reminders
1.
Please contact the athletic department
for NCAA rules interpretations.
2.
Remember that in most cases:
CONTACT is prohibited.
3.
If you think it is wrong then it probably
is wrong.
4.
No question is too dumb to ask.
