Tennessee TRACK & FIELD /// 2012 Media Guide
SEASON
PREVIEW
2012 SEASON PREVIEW
“Overcoming Obstacles” might be a good place to start for University
of Tennessee Director of Track & Field/Cross Country J.J. Clark if he were
considering a theme for the 2012 season. The departure of two Lady Vol
standouts due to graduation and the loss of several key members of last
year’s men’s team will create challenges for Clark and his staff as they embark on a new campaign.
Clark has never shied away from tough situations, though, and he’s
not about to start now. He and his assistants will find ways to supplement
the points lost to SEC champions and All-Americans Jackie Areson and Liz
Costello on the women’s team, and he and his staff will continue to recruit
and develop point-producers on the men’s club.
While Tennessee returns every Lady Vol scorer from the 2011 NCAA
Outdoor meet, where UT placed 11th, and SEC individual event champions in Annie Alexander, Chanelle Price, Brittany Sheffey and Ellen
Wortham, Clark must go back to the drawing board with the Vols. He will
be seeking to replace last year’s duo of rookie All-Americans Justin Hunter
and Dentarius Locke as well as key SEC scorers in Peter Sigilai and Michael
Spooner.
A dual-sport athlete, Hunter suffered a torn ACL during the third
game of the 2011 football season, and his return this season is unlikely.
Spooner was lost to graduation, while Locke transferred to a school closer
to home and Sigilai did not return after having only a partial season of eligibility remaining.
“Those were humongous hits to our team,” Clark admitted. “I am not
going to sit here and act like they weren’t. We had the injury to Justin, two
transfers and some graduation losses, and these all were key players in our
program.
“We recognize the needs of the program and understand our depth
is not where it needs to be. We are not leaving any stone unturned in our
recruiting process to make sure this program has the depth necessary to
win. That’s what we intend to do.”
“We need more depth in most areas, which has been a recruiting focus,” Clark said of the women’s and men’s teams. “We do have four returning
Lady Vol SEC champions and five-time pole vault champ Joe Berry on the
men’s side, though, so we have some firepower coming back.
“We don’t have the depth across the board, but we are working diligently to create that by developing people and bringing in talented newcomers.”
The Coaching Staff
There was significant movement in the coaching staff during the offseason, as Clark made difficult personnel changes that he felt were necessary to move the program forward
Long-time Associate Head Coach George Watts was not retained as
the men’s distance leader, as Clark opted to add responsibilities for the Vols
to his list. To assist in that
endeavor, Clark brought in
Mary Jayne Reeves, who
had prior experience working with male and female
distance runners at both
Virginia and Virginia Tech as
well as 10 years’ experience
as a professional runner.
During the fall, the
transition seemed to go
well, as both cross country
teams demonstrated improvement throughout the
season, and three runners
garnered all-star accolades
for their performances.
Sheffey earned All-SEC and
All-South Region honors for
the third time in her career,
while Chris Bodary made
the all-region squad for the
second time and Austin
Whitelaw earned a spot on
the SEC All-Freshman Team. After winning SEC Indoor and Outdoor 800m titles in 2011,
Clark also replaced Chanelle Price will try to extend Tennessee’s streak of season
men’s sprint coach Norbert sweeps in that event to four years in a row.

Tennessee TRACK & FIELD /// 2012 Media Guide
Elliott with former LSU
sprint standout and American indoor record-holder
Rohsaan Griffin. A year
of work as a volunteer assistant for the Vols in 2011,
coupled with Griffin’s experience as a sprint coach
at East Tennessee State
and Milligan, gave Clark
the insight to make such a
switch.
While Griffin’s hiring
during the summer left him
behind the recruiting game
for this year, he has been
tireless in his pursuit to add
new talent to the Tennessee roster in the near future
as well as improve the productivity of those already
on the team.
John Frazier was promoted to associate head The school record-holder in the shot put, indoors and out, Annie
coach in the offseason and Alexander has won more SEC titles in the throws events (five)
returns for his sixth year than any Lady Vol and will try to add to that total in 2012.
in charge of the throws
group. He welcomes back
a strong women’s throws group, headed by Alexander, and his men’s cadre
should be bolstered by the addition of several key newcomers.
In the jumps and multi-events area, Jerome Romain is back for his
third season after producing his first UT All-American last season in Hunter.
While the super-talented leaper is likely out for the year due to a knee injury, Romain has several pupils on the men’s and women’s teams who will
be point-producers for Tennessee in 2012.
Sharon Seagrave returns for year number two as the women’s sprint
coach and has stabilized an area that had seen four coaches in a six-year
span. Her impact was felt, as Wortham emerged as an SEC champion and
national contender in the 400m hurdles, and the Lady Vols had All-America
4x400m relay teams indoors and out and an honorable mention 4x100m
unit to boot.
Tennessee also has four volunteer coaches on staff this season, including men’s pole vault coach Russ Johnson, women’s pole vault coach David
Job, Bill Schmidt (javelin) and Daniel Goetz (distance). Johnson returns
five-time SEC pole vault champion Berry, while Job has back Linda Hadfield, who last season set a UT freshman record in the women’s vault.
“Everything is going great with our staff,” Clark said. “They all understand their roles, what the expectations and goals are, and what my recruiting philosophy is. “We’re going to keep pressing forward and keep our nose
to the grindstone until we see change.”
The Lady Vols
The Lady Vols finished seventh at the NCAA Indoor meet in 2011,
running their total of top-10 national finishes under Clark to 10. They just
missed the cut outdoors with the previously-mentioned 11th-place showing and posted efforts of third indoors and seventh outdoors at the SEC
Championships.
Areson and Costello were key reasons for that success a year ago, but
neither was a factor at the NCAA Outdoor meet. Areson’s eligibility expired
after the indoor season, and Costello failed to qualify for the outdoor meet
after falling at the NCAA East Preliminary meet. That means all 20 of Tennessee’s 11th-place points from last year’s NCAA Outdoor meet return.
Alexander in the throws, Price in the middle distances, Sheffey in the
distances and Wortham in the hurdles, sprints and jumps provide Tennessee a strong core of leadership and firepower. All the relay groups are back
intact, and UT has potential in both the throws and pole vault as well.
“When you lose the good ones, it’s hard to replace them,” Clark said.
“What you want to do is continue the growth of your team in all areas.
Maybe we can compensate for their absence with people in other areas
such as the throws group with Laquoya Kelly, Jessie Harrison and Aslynn
Halvorson, for example. They are capable of scoring in our conference and
nationally.
2012 SEASON PREVIEW
Discussion of the sprint/hurdles group begins with Wortham, who
won an SEC title in the 400m hurdles last season, something no Lady Vol
had done since 1992. She also scored at the conference level in the long
jump, high jump, pentathlon, 4x100m, 4x400m and distance medley relays, making her the most diverse athlete on the squad.
“Ellen is the leader of the sprint group,” Clark said. “There is no question, she has impacted that area with points, her tenacity and competitiveness. She always gives you what she’s got and gives you her best shot.”
Wortham has a veteran cast around her that has seen dividends from
a full year of training with coach Seagrave. Seniors Brittany Jones and
Ashley Harris, and juniors Kia Jackson and Martinique Octave are seeking gains in individual events, hoping to generate points in that fashion.
“Kia, Ashley, Brittany and Martinique have had a full year in Sharon’s
program, and I think we are going to see some improved results from
them,” Clark said. “They had some good results on relays last year, and you
should start to see some development in the open races this year as well.

THE TEAM
The strength of the
women’s team will once
again be its distance group,
with the focus moving more
to the middle-length races Last season, Brittany Sheffey gave UT its fourth SEC 1500m
rather than the longer ones champion since 2004, and in 2012 she hopes to add to the 11
this season. While Areson times she has scored at the conference level.
and Costello are gone, Price
and Sheffey return and are primed for stellar senior campaigns.
Price swept SEC indoor and outdoor titles in the 800 meters last season
and has been a member of UT’s SEC meet-record-setting distance medley
relay units the past two seasons. She was third in the 800 at the 2011 NCAA
Outdoor meet and took sixth indoors, setting the stage for bigger things in
2012.
“Chanelle brings a lot of experience and quality to the middle distance
corps,” Clark said. “She’s the leader of that group and one of the leaders on
our team. That’s what she has to offer.”
She’ll be joined in the 800 returnee ranks by sophomore Kianna Ruff,
junior Nijgia Snapp, both SEC scorers, and sophomores Brittney Jackson
and Ty-Vonna Johnson. Ruff finished sixth indoors and out in the 800 at
the SEC level, while Snapp was fifth indoors. Clark is hopeful Jackson and
Johnson can break through as sophomores.
“We have a few people who can help in the distance group,” Clark said.
“Chanelle, Nijgia and Kianna, and I think Brittney and Ty-Vonna fit in there as
well. That is a very strong group and the kind of impact and presence I’d like
to have in every event area.”
Sheffey, meanwhile, can run an 800 leg on a relay, but her forté is anything from the mile to the 5000 meters. She claimed her first SEC individual
crown in 2011, winning the 1500m run outdoors and taking third indoors
in the 3K and outdoors in the 5K. She has twice been part of UT’s winning
DMR units at the league meet, including last year’s record-setting effort, and
scored 16 points at the SEC indoor and outdoor meets in 2010 with runnerup finishes in the mile and a 3K indoors and 1500m and 5K outdoors.
“I think Brittany has been overshadowed these past few years,” Clark
said. “First you had Sarah Bowman, and then you follow up with Jackie Areson. Then Liz Costello transfers in, and in addition to those ladies, you had
Phoebe and Chanelle in the 800, so she kind of got lost in the mix, but she
has still been a high quality runner for us.
“She scored 16 points in both the SEC Indoor and Outdoor Championships in 2010, so that tells you what her capabilities are. I think her history
here and her 2011 cross country season indicate her time has come to shine.”
Others returnees include seniors Elizabeth Altizer, Charity Honeycutt and Elizabeth Tiller, juniors Andrea Ferri, Ramzee Fondren and
Kelsey Kane, and sophomore Amber Zimmerman.
Newcomers include freshmen Lizzie Cornell, Amirah Johnson and
Julia Petree, as well as transfer Patavia Lowery, a sophomore. Johnson had
the biggest impact in cross country during the fall, scoring in all six team
races in the number-four or -five slot.

PREVIEW
Women’s Distance
SEC crowns in the shot and discus and carding third-place finishes in those
events at the NCAA Outdoor meet. Along the way, she improved her UT
record in the shot to 57-11 1/4 and her Trinidad & Tobago national best in
the discus to 192-2.
“Annie came into our program winning, taking three SEC titles as a
freshman,” Clark said. “She has been very consistent and helped us win a
national title and SEC Championship in 2009. Her ability to score when
necessary is something I look forward to and depend on, and her maturity
over the years has been very evident.
“I am anxious to see that continue to develop. She brings a lot to the
table, and we look forward to having her all year in 2012, keeping that
momentum and being a leader of our team. You couple her with Chanelle,
Brittany and Ellen, you have great team leadership. We look forward to
getting this group together and getting the team going down the right
path.”
Alexander isn’t the only scorer in the throws regiment, as Clark mentioned. Senior Kelly, junior Harrison and sophomore Halvorson all have
contributed points to Tennessee at the league level. Harrison has twice
finished sixth in the weight throw, including 2011, and Halvorson was
eighth indoors in the shot a year ago. Kelly was sixth in the hammer in
2009 and has been on the cusp in the weight and hammer several more
times.
Sophomore Katherine Dresch was 14th in the javelin in 2011 and
hopes to move into scoring arrange this time around.
GENERAL
INFO.
“We’re not sure where
it’s all (lost points) going to
come from, but we’ll try to
utilize the team collectively
to offset one or two great
athletes. I remember my first
dominant athlete years ago
(at Florida) was Becki Wells.
You don’t replace her; you
don’t replace a Hazel Clark,
a Sarah Bowman, a Phoebe
Wright. We just continue developing athletes. I am looking to see the team respond
as a whole to bring together
championships.”

2012 SEASON PREVIEW
Women’s Vertical Jumps
Wortham, with a PR of 5-7 3/4, is UT’s top high jumper. She finished sixth
in the SEC Indoor meet at 5-6 last season. Freshman Ashley Wengerter has a prep PR of 5-6 and could give UT a second
option.
Hadfield demonstrated she has a bright future in the pole vault, earning
SEC All-Freshman Team status last season for her sixth-place outdoor clearance of 13-1 3/4 that set a Lady Vol rookie record.
She’ll be joined by freshman Erin Champion, a Tennessee state champion, who has cleared 12-1 1/2.
Women’s Horizontal Jumps
Coach Romain’s jumps group welcomes back a pair of SEC scorers in the
long jump in Wortham (4th, outdoors, 19-11) and Kia Jackson (8th, indoors,
18-11 1/4), though Jackson’s PR is 19-8.
He’ll try to bring sophomores Jazmen Townsend (19-11 long jump PR)
and Allison Outerbridge (39-9 1/4 triple jump PR) along in their second seasons and welcome McDougald as a possibility in both the triple jump (38-3)
and long jump (18-6).
“Ellen and Kia jumped very well last season, and that is a credit to their
hard work and the direction Jerome provided,” Clark said. “We can really use
those points in the jumps, because they round our team out.”
Women’s Multi-Events
Wortham’s development in the pentathlon saw her emerge as a thirdplace finisher at the SEC meet (3,977) and an eighth-place finisher nationally
(4,042) in 2011. She had posted conference outcomes of fifth in 2009 and
fourth in 2010, so she has become a dependable point-producer at the indoor league meet in the multi-event competition.
Kirstyn Sweeney and Wengerter are underclass performers trying to
develop into additional scorers for the Big Orange.
The Vols
The 2011 season was one of progress for the Vols, as they scored at
the NCAA Indoor meet for the first time since 2009, placing 39th. They also
carded improved finishes of seventh indoors and eighth outdoors at the SEC
Championships.
But as previously mentioned, there has been some attrition, both expected and unexpected, from the squad that got Tennessee headed back in
the right direction.
“We lost people,” Clark said. “We can’t use that as an excuse, but it’s a reality. We have to develop student-athletes to score points to offset the departures. We will get that done.
“We have to create excitement within our event
groups. We have to coach
the athletes who are here
to score points and win. I
believe we can do that, because in the cross country
season, we had lost three of
our top five from the previous season and didn’t give
much ground in terms of
our SEC performance.”
The Vols do welcome
back SEC vault champion
Berry for the outdoor season only, as well as previous
league scorers Chase Brannon and Robert Rasnick in
that event. Clark also can
count on experienced distance men Chris Bodary,
Steve Fassino, Joe Franklin and Jake Rainey, and
relay legs Deaundra Dailey, With only outdoor eligibility remaining, Joe Berry will try to

the tone for a team that welcomes some talented newcomers in all event areas.
“Our goal for the track
season is to not only not lose
ground but make gains. We
have some returnees and
some newcomers who can
help, and we look forward to
those challenges.”
Men’s Distance/Relays
Clark welcomes back
four Vols who scored in
distance events in 2011.
Fassino, a senior, turned in
a fifth-place finish at the
SEC Outdoor meet in the
steeplechase and is back for
only track this season after
exhausting his cross country
eligibility in 2010.
Franklin, the most Joe Franklin is a nine-time SEC Championship meet scorer for the

runners, enters his senior sixth indoors in 2011.
campaign as a nine-time
SEC scorer, including five
times in the 800 meters. A year ago, he placed sixth indoors in that event and
contributed points outdoors as a member of UT’s 4x400m relay team.
Also back is Rainey, a sophomore, who checked in seventh as a rookie in
the 10,000 meters at the SEC Outdoor meet in a career-best 30:54.32.
Coming off a fine senior cross country campaign is Bodary, who earned
All-South Region kudos on the trails and was UT’s top runner in every race. He
reported in seventh in the 5K at last year’s conference indoor affair and looks
to be capable of providing the Vols with multiple scoring chances in 2012.
“Anywhere from the mile to the indoor 5K, he’ll do great,” Clark said of
Bodary. “It just depends on how we’ll use him. “He’s done a good job, is very
talented and was very consistent in cross country. He bought into the program right away, has been very coachable and had immediate results with it. I
believe he has some good performances to come this season.”
While Sigilai, Spooner and DMR contributor Ford Bell moved on after last
season, Tennessee will hope for others to step into the gap. Returnees such as
Jordan Chaney (9th, SEC mile) and senior Tom Gilmartin (11th steeplechase)
were on the verge a year ago, and sophomore Daniel Tobin could work his
way into that mix as well.
“All of our returning guys have to move forward and step up this season,”
Clark said. “They are all capable of scoring at the conference meet. Everyone
of them can get the job done.
“That will be a plus for Tennessee if that happens. That is my charge as
a coach to make sure we get this done and they understand what their roles
and goals are.”
Junior Garrek Thompson, who sat out 2011 after transferring from LSU,
looks to be a possibility in the 800 and with UT’s DMR, and freshmen Jeremy
Dickie and Austin Whitelaw were impressive as consistent scorers for the
cross country squad as rookies.
Classmate Nick Kaiser enters with a lot of promise as one of the nation’s
top prep 800 runners in 2010. His 1:50.00 PR ranks second on UT’s depth chart
entering the season.
The DMR, which finished second at SECs in 2011, will be retooled in 2012
after everyone but 400 leg Benson departed.
“The SEC is a very difficult distance conference, and right now, especially
on the men’s side, you have a great amount of international students coming
in. Many times, those athletes are older and more developed.
“We have some good returnees who can help us, and we have some
good newcomers who can be contributors. How quickly remains to be seen,
but we’re talking about 18-year-old freshmen trying to compete at this level.
We just have to keep plodding forward and working hard to attain our goals.”
Men’s Vertical Jumps
The group with the second-most scorers in SEC action is the pole vault
corps. Without question, Berry is the leader of that cadre, as he tries to match

Akron Invitational (Feb. 10-11).
Along the way, the Big Orange will make return trips to the Texas
A&M Mondo Challenge, New Balance Collegiate Invitational (New York
City) and Husky Classic (Seattle, Wash./distance only) before going back to
Lexington for the SEC Indoor Championships (Feb. 24-26) and to Nampa,
Idaho, for the NCAA Indoor Championships (March 9-10).
Outdoors, UT opens with a split weekend on March 23-24. While the
distance runners head to the Stanford Invitational on those dates, the rest
of the squad will be in Starkville, Miss., for the scored SEC/Big 10 Challenge
on Jan. 23.
Following a second-straight dual meet battle with UCLA on the West
Coast on March 31, Clark’s squads play host to the Tennessee Challenge
(April 7) and Sea Ray Relays (April 11-14) in back-to-back weeks. Akron,
Carson-Newman and North Carolina A&T are expected to join the home
team on April 7 at UT’s Tom Black Track at LaPorte Stadium.
The Big Orange squads then head to the Vanderbilt Invitational (April
20-21) and Penn Relays/UCSD Triton Invitational (April 26-28) before heading to SEC Outdoors (May 10-13, Baton Rouge), NCAA East Preliminary
Rounds (May 24-26, Jacksonville, Fla.) and NCAA Outdoors (June 6-9, Des

GENERAL
INFO.
Lawrence Johnson’s UT record of six league vault crowns this season. Berry
swept the indoor (17-7 1/2) and outdoor (17-8 1/2) titles a season ago and
hopes to follow suit in his lone shot outdoors in 2012 and add a trip to the
NCAA meet to it.
“When I see Joe Berry compete, I see a warrior,” Clark said. “He really does
a fantasic job of getting the best out of himself at the right time. I commend
him for that.
“He’s had a little bumpier time outdoors in terms of getting to the national meet, but I know he can overcome those obstacles. His talent and his
focus will allow him to do that. I believe he’ll conquer that, and he’ll be a great
boost to our program during the outdoor season.”
Berry has a gifted ensemble around him, as well, as senior Rasnick and
sophomore Brannon return after scoring at the conference meet last season.
Brannon tied for eighth indoors (PR 16-5 1/2) and was fifth outdoors (PR 16-6
3/4), while Rasnick was seventh inside at 16-11 1/2.
That group also has even more point potential, as talented sophomore
Tyler Porter returns with a PR of 16-7 1/4 and is joined by redshirt freshman
Michael Maira (15-0) and true freshman Sam Tabor (14-6), a state champion
decathlete and vaulter.
“Russ Johnson is our men’s pole vault coach, and he does an outstanding
job. When I was appointed the head coach here, I thought he would be the
man for the job, and I was correct. He has a great record and has done fantastic
things with UT’s vaulters, and we anticipate more of the same from the vault
group this season.”
With high jumpers Hunter (7-3) and Kevin Carney (6-9) battling injuries,
freshman Derek McClardy offers UT’s best mark in that event at 6-8.

TENNESSEE COACHING STAFF
J.J. CLARK
Director of Track & Field/Cross Country
Tenth Year
J.J. Clark is in his 10th year at Tennessee, where he spent seven seasons as head
coach of the women’s cross country and track & field programs before also assuming
leadership of the men’s track & field team prior to the 2009-10 campaign.
In 2011-12, Clark added another responsibility to his list, as he took over coaching
duties of the men’s cross country and distance units after coaching only the women’s
group the past nine years.
A two-time NCAA and six-time SEC champion coach with the Lady Vol track
& field and cross country teams from 2002-09, Clark heads up one of the most
storied collegiate programs in the nation. The cross country teams have thrived at
UT, boasting a national championship and 30 SEC titles between them since their
inception. The men’s and women’s teams also have made a combined 44 appearances
at national championship meets and hosted the NCAA Championships together in
1990 at Pine Lakes Golf Course in nearby Rockford, Tenn.
On the oval, Tennessee has won seven national championships and claimed 51
SEC titles (22 indoors/29 outdoors) in track & field through the years.
CLARK’S BIG ORANGE SUCCESS...
The architect of an amazing reclamation project with the women’s cross country
and track & field programs at Rocky Top, Clark spent seven impressive seasons in
Knoxville before assuming control of both the men’s and women’s teams. During that
time, the women’s cross country program benefited immensely from Clark’s tutelage,
claiming SEC hardware from 2003-05 and NCAA South Region plaques from 2002-05,
and making NCAA Championships appearances from 2002-06. He stands as the alltime winningest women’s cross country coach in the history of UT Athletics.
On the trails, his distaff troops carved out eight consecutive top-three
performances at the SEC Championships (2002-09), including three runner-up
finishes to go along with the three victories. At the regional level, Team Orange has
wound up fourth or better in eight of 10 seasons under his watch, finishing third
three times along with the four triumphs the squad has enjoyed.
During the track & field portion of the season, he has directed the Lady Vols to
NCAA Indoor National Championships in 2005 and 2009, SEC Indoor Championships
in 2005, 2007 and 2009, and an NCAA Mideast Regional crown outdoors in 2005.
With Clark at the helm, Tennessee has enjoyed six top-five NCAA women’s track
& field finishes (Indoors: 1st in 2005 and 2009, 2nd in 2010, 3rd in 2007 and 4th in
2004; Outdoors: 4th in 2005) and four additional top-10 outings (Indoors: seventh in
2011, t8th in 2008; Outdoors: t7th in 2004, t10th in 2009) during his stay in Knoxville.
UT also has nine SEC top-three outcomes (seven indoors, two outdoors) since 2003,
with runner-up efforts indoors in 2004 and 2008 in addition to the titles won in 2005,
2007 and 2009. He now is trying to match that feat with the men’s team.
21-TIME COACH OF THE YEAR...
Clark has been recognized far and wide for his acumen in track & field and cross
country, earning a total of 21 coach of the year accolades (11 track & field/10 cross
country) during a career which also includes 10 seasons as women’s cross country
coach and assistant track & field coach at Florida (1992-2002).
Among his 10 honors for cross country, Clark is a five-time South Region
Women’s Coach of the Year (1997, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005) and a five-time SEC
Women’s Coach of the Year (1996, 1997, 2003, 2004, 2005). His 1996 and 1997
recognitions came while he was at Florida.
The crafty skipper twice has been named national women’s collegiate indoor
track & field coach of the year, reaping the award from the USTFCCCA in 2009 and the
USTCA in 2005. Nike also selected him as its 1998 USA Elite Coach of the Year as well.
Clark has garnered regional track & field coach of the year distinction on five
occasions, collecting USTFCCCA South Region Indoor women’s accord in 2007, 2008
and 2009, and USTCA South Region Indoor and Mideast Region Outdoor women’s
kudos in 2005.
At the SEC level, the Big Orange boss was named the SEC Women’s Indoor Track
& Field Coach of the Year in 2005, 2007 and 2009.
DEVELOPING CHAMPIONS AND ALL-AMERICANS AT UT...
While winning national and conference titles now are annual, and realistic,
goals, turning recruits into top-flight competitors has long been a hallmark of
Clark and the Tennessee program. In cross country, Clark has groomed 14 female
athletes who have totaled 31 All-South Region awards in 10 seasons and 13 who’ve
accumulated 23 total All-SEC honors. He added his first male honorees in 2011, as
Austin Whitelaw earned SEC All-Freshman status and Chris Bodary made the AllSouth Region squad.

Tennessee TRACK & FIELD /// 2012 Media Guide
In addition to qualifying women’s teams for the NCAA Championships from
2002 to 2006, he also had Jackie Areson (2008, 2009, 2010), Sarah Bowman (2008),
Brittany Sheffey (2011) and Katie Van Horn (2009, 2010) qualify as individuals, with
Bowman placing 36th in 2008 to become the first female cross country All-American
at Tennessee since Sharon Dickie in 2000.
During Clark’s nine years at the wheel of Tennessee track & field, 38 athletes (35
female/three male) have combined to earn 167 (162 female/five male) All-America
certificates, with his charges collecting 12 NCAA titles (nine indoors and three
outdoors, all by women). He also has produced 55 SEC championships (53 by women
[29 indoors/24 outdoors] and two by men [one indoors/one outdoors] during that
time period. Evander Wells was his first male All-America recipient, taking fourth in
the 200m outdoors in 2010.
Two of Clark’s pupils, 400m whiz DeeDee Trotter and long jump ace Tianna
Madison, ascended to stardom on the international stage before their college days
were through, resulting in their early departures for the lucrative world of professional
track & field.
Among UT’s 12 national women’s event winners under Clark’s watch are 2011
indoor 5000m champ Jackie Areson, 2010 indoor and outdoor 800m champ Wright,
2009 indoor mile champ and NCAA meet-record-holder Bowman, 2005 indoor and
outdoor long jump winner Madison, 2004 indoor 800m champ Nicole Cook, 2004
outdoor 400m winner Trotter, 2004 DMR legs Brooke Novak, Trotter, Cook and Lindsay
Hyatt; 2008 DMR contributors Brittany Sheffey, Brittany Jones, Wright and Bowman;
2009 world-record-setting DMR members Wright, Chanelle Price, Jones and Bowman,
who checked in with a sizzling 10:50.98 readout to rewrite women’s history, and 2010
DMR victors Wright, Ellen Wortham, Price and Sheffey.
ACADEMIC PROWESS...
In the classroom, Clark’s high expectations have been met with equal success,
as his track & field/cross country troops have tallied 197 (157 women/40 men) SEC
Academic Honor Roll recognitions, 24 female Capital One Academic All-District IV
nods and 10 female Academic All-America citations since 2002.
Bowman became his first two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America
honoree in 2009, as she followed up second-team distinction in 2008 with first-team
status as a senior. Also earning accolades in 2009 were first-teamer Wright and
second-team selection Amanda Alexander. Wright would repeat and be named
Academic All-American of the Year for track & field/cross country, while Areson also
made the first team in 2010 and Price followed in 2011. Katie Flaute and Christina
Billings were second-team ESPN The Magazine honorees in 2007 and 2003,
respectively, while Felicia Guliford garnered Academic All-America acclaim from the
Women’s Intercollegiate Cross Country Coaches Association in fall 2004.
Additionally, Clark’s team and individuals are consistently honored by the
USTFCCCA and SEC for academics. In 2008 and 2009, Bowman was named both the
USTFCCCA Indoor Women’s Track Scholar Athlete of the Year and the SEC Women’s
Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year. She also joined Guliford and Wright as Lady
Vol harriers nominated for NCAA Woman of the Year.
Wright’s 2010 campaign was highlighted by the H. Boyd McWhorter SEC
Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award, SEC Track & Field Scholar Athlete of the Year, an
NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and USTFCCCA Indoor Track Scholar Athlete of the
Year, giving UT the honor three years running. The Lady Vols also were recognized as
the USTFCCCA Indoor Scholar Team of the Year in both 2009 and 2010.
Price followed in the footsteps of Bowman and Wright. She became UT’s fourstraight SEC Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year honoree in 2011 as a co-winner.
PENN RELAYS AND RECORD-SETTING MARKS...
In 2004, Clark returned the Big Orange women to vogue at Franklin Field in
Philadelphia, Pa., as the
Lady Vol contingent pulled
off a hat trick of baton
event victories at the
Penn Relays. Tennessee
quartets captured a trio
of
“Championships of
America” in the distance
medley, 4x800m and
sprint medley relays, with
the latter establishing
a collegiate record. UT,
which also added an sprint
medley relay title in 2006
and a DMR crown in 2007,
had not won that many
relays in Philly since 1984.
Tennessee once
again pulled off a triple
in 2009 and 2010, with
Bowman earning athlete
of the meet honors for
playing a role in UT winning
the DMR, 4x1500m and
4x800m events in 2009.
The 4x1500m unit ran a
world-record
clocking,
while the 4x8 brought Tennessee’s efforts at the NCAA and SEC Championships, Penn Relays
the baton home in an and other competitions have earned the program and its athletes and
American-record readout. coaches a great deal of exposure.
TENNESSEE COACHING STAFF
Clark’s impact has been felt beyond the programs he coaches, as well, as his
squads’ SEC and NCAA finishes have fueled the most extensive department-wide
spree of female sport success in the history of UT Athletics. The Lady Vols were declared
the SEC women’s all-sports winners in 2003-04, 2004-05 and 2005-06 by the New York
Times Regional Newspaper Group. Though the Lady Vols and Tennessee finished
second in the SEC all-sports standings in 2006-07, the women’s and men’s programs
combined to place seventh nationally in the U.S. Sports Academy Director’s Cup
standings, marking UT’s highest ranking in history.
LIFE BEFORE ROCKY TOP...
One of the most respected distance coaches in the nation, Clark enjoyed 10
successful seasons as an assistant from 1992 to 2002 at the University of Florida and
spent the 1991-92 year there as a graduate assistant. His group of athletes played a key
role in Florida’s SEC Indoor and Outdoor track & field titles in 1997 and 1998, its indoor
crown in 2002 and its third-place national finish indoors in 2002. It has been estimated
that his charges accumulated more than 650 points in SEC action and 110-plus at the
NCAA level during his 10 seasons as a full-time aide.
During his tenure with the Gators, Clark groomed two athletes who combined
BACKGROUND, EDUCATION AND FAMILY...
A product of Maplewood, N.J., and a graduate of Columbia High School, Clark
made trips to Knoxville during his teen years to watch his sister Joetta compete for
the Lady Vols and saw her help Tennessee win the 1981 AIAW National Outdoor
Championship. Those examples left an impression on the younger brother, and he
blazed his own trail in track & field.
First, he set his own standard of excellence in running, winning the New Jersey
high school state title in the mile and two-mile as a senior in 1982. With that kind
of effort, he then earned a scholarship to Villanova, where he would develop into a
sub-four minute miler in his competitive days en route to qualifying for the 1988 U.S
Olympic Trials.
After graduating from VU in May of 1986 with a B.A. in communications, Clark
returned to his prep alma mater and served as assistant track coach. While at CHS
from 1986 to 1989, he worked with the girls’ and boys’ middle distance and sprints
corps. Then, in 1991, he made his transition into collegiate coaching, serving as a
graduate assistant at Florida for one year before being hired full time there.
Clark, who resides in Knoxville with wife Jearl and son Jorell, studied anatomy
and physiology coursework in graduate school at UF. Bridging the gap between his
high school coaching and college experience, he also took courses in nutrition and
exercise physiology in 1990 at Kean College in Union, N.J., and became certified as
a licensed sports massage therapist in 1991 from the Florida School of Massage in
Gainesville. His father is Joe Lewis Clark, the bat-wielding principal of Paterson, New
Jersey’s Eastside High School, depicted by actor Morgan Freeman in the 1989 movie
“Lean on Me.”

IMPACTING BIG ORANGE ATHLETICS...
As mentioned previously, Clark’s influence also extends into the international
arena, and his history of preparing athletes for competition is second to none. Proof
of that was evident in 2000, when three of his pupils, sisters Joetta and Hazel and wife
Jearl, finished one-two-three in the 800m at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Sacramento,
Calif., and went on to represent America in Sydney.
During his time as head of “Team Clark,” the 1986 Villanova graduate prepared
Joetta to compete in four Olympics prior to retiring, Jearl to make five appearances
and win two Olympic golds and two world championships, and Hazel to make the
finals in her initial trip to the Olympics in 2000 and qualify again in 2004 and 2008.
His spouse also maintains the American record she set in the 800m in 1999 and was
the 2004 Olympic Trials champion and 2003 USATF outdoor victor in the 800m as
well as the 2002 winner in the 400m.
In addition to the familial success, he also coached three-time Olympian Mark
Everett to a No. 1 USA ranking and fourth-place world rating in the 800 meters. Nike
recognized Clark for his work in continuing to develop world-class athletes, naming
him the 1998 USA Elite Coach of the Year.
Clark’s abilities have also been noticed and rewarded by his sport’s national
governing body. After serving as an assistant for the U.S. women at the 1999
IAAF World Track & Field Championships in Greece, he would receive the honor of
being named head coach of the 2001 team in Edmonton, Canada. As previously
mentioned, he later earned the distinction of being the middle distance coach for
the U.S. women at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

THE TEAM
Internationally, Tennessee also returned to the scene under Clark, the 2008 U.S.
Olympic women’s middle distance coach. His former athletes Bowman (1500m), Cook
(800m), Madison (LJ), Trotter (400m/4x400mR), Bennett (800m), Shanna Dickenson
(throws), Dickie (distance/XC), Lynne Layne (sprints), Jeneba Tarmoh (sprints) and Cleo
Tyson (sprints), and current Lady Vol Price (800m), have performed well for Team USA.
Current star Annie Alexander and ex-Lady Vols Rose-Anne Galligan (distance/XC), Toyin
Olupona (sprints) and Patricia Hall (sprints), meanwhile, have been fine representatives
for Trinidad & Tobago, Ireland, Canada and Jamaica, respectively. Newcomer Justin
Hunter became Clark’s first international male competitor, finishing sixth in the long
jump at the 2010 IAAF World Junior Championships.
World success showered the Big Orange in 2004, as college junior Trotter ran
on the victorious U.S. Olympic 4x400m relay unit and grabbed fifth in the open 400
meters before becoming the first underclass Lady Vol to turn pro. Clark also moved
four of his pupils into the 800m finals at the U.S. Olympic Trials, where Bennett and
Cook finished fourth and seventh, respectively.
He advanced two (wife Jearl Miles-Clark and sister Hazel Clark) to the 2004
Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, where Miles-Clark wound up sixth in her fifth trip
to the Olympiad, while a freak accident prevented Clark from advancing beyond the
prelims in her second visit to the Games.
Hazel would also qualify for the 2008 Games, competing for her brother, J.J., who
served as the women’s middle distance coach for the U.S. In 2005, Madison would
leap to international stardom, winning the long jump at the IAAF World Outdoor

for three SEC Athlete of the Year awards in cross country and track, and developed
competitors who racked up five NCAA Championships, 44 NCAA All-America
citations and 32 conference championship plaques. Among those were his sister,
Hazel, a three-time national champ in the 800 meters and the SEC Indoor Track

the mile/1500 meters and the 1996 SEC Cross Country Athlete of the Year. Both
own the school records in their respective events, part of a total of 12 such marks
accomplished by Clark-tutored athletes at Florida.
In cross country, Clark led the school to its first-ever team appearance at the
NCAA Championships in 1994. UF was extended invitations four more times to the
national meet under his leadership, going in 1995, 1997, 1998 and 1999 and charting
a top team finish of 16th on the third of its five trips. Clark also guided Florida to SEC
titles in 1996 and 1997, and the Gators claimed NCAA regional titles in 1997 and 1998.
Among those drawing kudos for their standout cross country performances
were Wells, the 1995 and 1996 SEC champion, and Hilary White, the 2000 SEC
Freshman Athlete of the Year. Additionally, Wells and Velsen picked up All-America
citations during their careers.

Wright, meanwhile, was instrumental in leading UT to victories in those races in 2010.
Those 2009 efforts came after an indoor campaign where the Lady Vols twice
posted eye-catching marks in the DMR. First, UT ran 10:56.40 for an American record
at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational. Then, the Big Orange won the NCAA title in
March with the aforementioned world best.
Speaking of records, there also have been some other league and NCAA
women’s marks set on Clark’s watch. Among them, the 2004, 2010 and 2011 DMRs
lowered the SEC record to 11:16.61, 11:14.59 and 11:05.37, respectively, while Cook’s
2005 collegiate record in the 800m also stands as an SEC best.
In addition to the DMR upgrade in 2011, Areson posted a league 3K indoor best
of 9:10.49, while Liz Costello lowered the SEC 10K mark to 33:42.96.
Madison’s leap of 22-8.50 at the 2005 SEC Outdoor meet, while not a record
due to a slight gust of 2.2 mps, stood then as the best mark in the 28 years that
women had competed in the long jump at the conference championships. Madison’s
measurement of 22-3 at the 2005 NCAA Indoor meet, meanwhile, tied Carol Lewis’
American collegiate record and was just short of the NCAA standard.
During Clark’s first nine years on The Hill, UT women’s marks in 16 events indoors
and 18 events outdoors have been revised, while one men’s best (outdoors) has been
eclipsed since 2010.
In addition to that, 21 Lady Vol freshman records (10 indoors/11 outdoors) have
fallen, and two Vol rookie standards (both indoors in 2011) have tumbled.

TENNESSEE COACHING STAFF
JOHN FRAZIER
Associate Head Coach
(Men’s/Women’s Throws)
Sixth Year
John Frazier is in his sixth season as throws coach at Tennessee and was
promoted to associate head coach in 2011. He joined the staff in August 2006
after serving six years as an assistant men’s and women’s track & field coach at
the University of Arizona.
After working with J.J. Clark as the Lady Vol throws coach from 2006 to
2009, Frazier again added men’s coaching duties to his list of responsibilities
after Clark was named the director of track & field for both the women’s
and men’s programs in June 2009. It is a challenge the veteran coach gladly
embraced.
Frazier’s reputation in his profession is a sterling one. In fact, it earned
him the honor of coaching on the international stage for the U.S. In August
2007, he traveled to Osaka, Japan, and worked with the American women as
they competed at the IAAF World Championships.
Demonstrating how he earned that reputation and awards such as 2005
USTCA National and West Region Assistant Coach of the Year for Throws,
Frazier produced impressive results in his first five seasons with the Tennessee
program. Among the accolades his charges earned in his brief time at Rocky
Top include All-American, NCAA Regional champion, SEC champion and
school record-holder.
His top pupil has been Annie Alexander, who had a sensational
freshman campaign in 2008, sweeping SEC Indoor and Outdoor shot put
crowns and snapping 26-year-old school records indoors and out. She also
added a league discus title and became the first SEC freshman female to win
all three of those events in a single season.
After dealing with some injuries and a redshirt season, Alexander
bounced back strong in 2011, sweeping SEC Outdoor shot put and discus
crowns. She follow that up with matching third-place outcomes in the
discus and shot at the NCAA Outdoor meet during a campaign in which she
improved her outdoor PRs to 57-11 ¼ in the shot and 192-2 in the discus. That
discus mark also bettered her previous Trinidad & Tobago national record,
while the shot effort raised her school record.
During her career, Alexander has scored nine times in SEC meets, with
three runner-up finishes to go with five victories, and she is a four-time AllAmerican (third indoors and out in the shot put in 2009 and third outdoors
in the shot and discus in 2011). She was second in the shot at SEC Indoors
before redshirting outdoors in 2010 and indoors in 2011.
In addition to Alexander, Frazier also has several current Lady Vols
who’ve contributed to the squad at the SEC level. Laquoya Kelly made the
2009 SEC Outdoor All-Freshman Team by placing sixth in the hammer throw
outdoors, Jessie Harrison made the 2010 SEC Indoor All Freshman Team by
taking sixth in the weight throw indoors, while Holly Kane was fifth in the
javelin and Aslynn Halvorson was fifth in the discus at the 2010 SEC Outdoor
meet. In 2011, Harrison grabbed sixth at SEC Indoors in the weight throw,
while Halvorson was eighth in the shot.
On the men’s side, Frazier produced a pair of SEC scorers and an NCAA
20
Tennessee TRACK & FIELD /// 2012 Media Guide
qualifier in his first year working with the Vols in 2010. Senior Matt Maloney
carded a fourth-place finish at SEC Outdoors and went on to compete
in his fourth NCAA Outdoor meet in the javelin. Ben Bartholomew,
meanwhile, came over from the football team and placed seventh indoors
and sixth outdoors in the shot at the SEC meets.
Other UT standouts during Frazier’s time at Tennessee include twotime All-American Shanna Dickenson, the 2007 third-place NCAA discus
finisher, a 10-time scorer at the SEC level and school record-holder in the
hammer throw; Amara McKell, an SEC scorer in the shot and discus; and
Nia Ali, who learned the shot under Frazier and went on to win the 2007
SEC heptathlon title in her first career attempt at the event.
Frazier joined the Big Orange from an Arizona program where
he produced 11 All-Americans and two U.S. Junior champions. In his
final year in Tucson in 2006, he had seven athletes qualify for the NCAA
Championships. His pupils collectively accumulated five All-America
certificates in the discus and shot put.
Before joining the Arizona staff, Frazier spent two seasons at the
University of Florida, where he worked alongside J.J. Clark. During his
tenure in Gainesville, Frazier helped Emily Carlsten earn a runner-up finish
in the javelin at the 2000 NCAA Outdoor Championships and a third-place
showing at the U.S. Olympic Trials that season. His athletes at UF also set
school records in the javelin, hammer throw and 20-pound weight throw
under his tutelage.
Frazier’s coaching career dates back to 1988, when he joined the
staff at UC Irvine. He also spent some of his formative professional years
at Humboldt (Calif.) State, Cal State Northridge and Cal State Los Angeles
before making the jump to the Pac-10 and SEC level.
During his 23 years in the track & field coaching community, Frazier’s
athletes have attained 38 All-America awards, including 13 at the NCAA
Division II level. Additionally, he coached four NCAA Division II national
champions and has tutored several athletes in the professional ranks.
Post-collegiates who have trained with Frazier include Dawn Dumble
(59-2 in the shot and 201-6 in the discus); Shaun Pickering, a 1996 British
Olympian who owns the No. 3 shot put mark in his country’s history;
Matt Pentecost, the 1995 U.S Junior National shot put champion, and
Steve Albert, who finished seventh in the shot at the 2000 U.S. Olympic
Trials, and Garland Porter, a former Vol who excels post-collegiately in the
weight and hammer throws.
Also, Frazier worked from 2001-04 with Nigeria’s Chima Ugwu, a
two-time Olympic and three-time World Championships competitor,
who holds the number-two all-time discus mark in his country at 64.53m
(211-8); and Finland’s Esko Mikkola from 2001-06, assisting with javelin
workouts from Finnish National javelin coach Kari Ihalainen. Mikkola was
a 2004 Olympic finalist and silver medalist at the 2003 World University
Games who owns a PR of 84.27m (276-5).
As a collegiate performer from 1982-86, Frazier was a three-time
All-American at UCLA in the shot put and also competed in the hammer
throw. He earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from UCLA
in 1986, and he has a master’s in kinesiology from his time at Cal State
Northridge.
A product of Lancaster, Calif., Frazier is married to the former Julia
Barnes. They have two daughters, Lana (14) and Courtney (11), and one
son, John Jr. (9).

SHARON SEAGRAVE
Assistant Coach
(Women’s Sprints)
Second Year
A two-time U.S. Olympian and one of the most decorated female
student-athletes in the history of the University of North CarolinaChapel Hill, Sharon (Couch) Seagrave is in her second season at the
University of Tennessee. Seagrave joined J.J. Clark’s staff on Oct. 27,
2010, and is directing her attention and energy toward serving as
assistant track & field coach for women’s sprints and hurdles at Rocky
Top.
The 2011 campaign saw Seagrave make an immediate impact for
the Big Orange, as she continued the development of Ellen Wortham
and helped the junior become UT’s first SEC 400m hurdles champ since
Tonya Lee in 1992 as well as a third-place finisher in the pentathlon.
Wortham carded a seventh-place effort in the 400m hurdles at the
NCAA Outdoor meet and was part of the Lady Vols’ seventh-place
4x400m relay outcome at that meet.
The NCAA relay effort in 2011 helped Seagrave produce a total
of four first-team All-Americans outdoors in her first season, including
Wortham (400mH, 4x400mR) and the other three relay legs: Martinique
Octave, Nijgia Snapp and Kianna Ruff. That group also carded fifth
at SEC Indoors and placed seventh outdoors with Price running in
place of Snapp. She also had the 4x100m relay unit of Ashley Harris,
Wortham, Octave and Kia Jackson check in sixth at SEC Outdoors and
garner Honorable Mention All-America kudos at the NCAA Outdoor
meet with Jones filling Wortham’s leg.
A 1991 graduate of UNC with a degree in speech communications,
Seagrave was an All-America performer who went on to represent the
United States at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, making the
finals in the long jump, and at the 2000 Sydney Olympiad, advancing
to the semifinals in the 100-meter hurdles.
From 1991 to 2001, the native of Rice, Va., represented adidas
while competing professionally around the globe. She was a member
of five U.S. World Championship Teams as a long jumper. Seagrave
also attained world rankings of seventh (2000) and ninth (1999)
in the 100-meter hurdles. It was during that time that she became
keenly aware of the school and people with whom she would one day
become associated.
Seagrave cites some of her earliest interactions with great women
in the sport of track & field as being with those from the University of
Tennessee. Dorothy Doolittle, UT’s head coach from 1989-97, coached
her at the 1992 Olympic Games, and Seagrave credits the savvy and
technical expertise of the former Lady Vol skipper with bringing out a
personal-record performance during that competition.
The Tar Heel great also includes former Lady Vols LaVonna Martin
Floreal, with whom she was a member of the 1992 Olympic Team, as
22

well as Benita Fitzgerald-Mosley, Sharrieffa Barksdale and Joetta Clark
Diggs as those who’ve impacted her through their success on the track
and the way they’ve carried themselves, both during and after their
competitive careers.
From 2000 to 2010, the Lady Vol aide directed Sharon Seagrave
Training in Woodstock, Ga., utilizing 10-plus years of training and
performance expertise to educate coaches, athletes and trainers across
the country. She created and delivered skill-specific track & field clinics
for state coaches associations in Georgia, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio
and Wisconsin.
Seagrave, who most recently devoted time as assistant track & field
coach for The Atlanta International School, has spent a great deal of her
post-competitive years employed in various corporate pursuits that
utilized her high-energy personality and competitive spirit. Among
her most recent positions, she was with Masai U.S. Corporation, a
physiology footwear company, serving as national director of training/
retail account trainer for the Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) brand
from 2007 to 2009. And, in order to join the staff at UT, she departed a
sales representative position with Cintas Corporation.
Focusing first on her competitive career and later on raising
children, Loren (9) and Ryan (7), Seagrave always felt called to enter the
coaching ranks someday. The timing finally was right, and she calls “the
opportunity to represent this program and build champions at UT” one
of the two major defining moments of her life. The first was when she
decided to pursue her Olympic dreams.
Looking back to her college days as a Tar Heel, Seagrave was a
four-year team captain and three-time Atlantic Coast Conference Most
Valuable Performer while leading UNC to seven straight league titles.
Among the events she competed in while there included the long and
triple jumps, the 100-meter hurdles, the 100 and 200 meters and the
4x100m relay. She amassed all-league kudos on seven occasions and
claimed seven ACC titles individually, including 55m hurdles crowns
indoors in 1988, 1990 and 1991, and outdoor 100m hurdles victories
in 1990 and 1991. She also won the long jump indoors in 1988 and
outdoors in 1989.
A five-time All-American, she qualified for all eight NCAA
Championship meets (indoors/outdoors) during her collegiate career.
She was named UNC’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year and was the recipient
of the Patterson Gold Medal in 1991, the first African American woman
and only fourth female ever to claim those honors in school history at
the time. Additionally, she was president of The Monogram Club and
sat on the UNC Athletic Council, representing the school’s 800 studentathletes.
Prior to earning a scholarship to North Carolina, Seagrave
attended Amelia County High School. As a senior, she won five
events and finished second in a sixth at the state championship meet,
breaking four Virginia prep records. She also won the long jump and
100m hurdles at the USATF Junior Olympics and made the U.S. World
Junior Team in the long jump as well.

Mary Jayne (Harrelson) Reeves is in her first season working with
the Tennessee track & field and cross country teams. She joined the Big
Orange program after spending the 2010-11 campaign on the staff at
the University of Virginia.
Reeves assists J.J. Clark in working with the UT cross country and
distance squads and plays a key role in the recruiting process.
In her first cross country season at UT, she helped Clark groom
three athletes who earned all-star honors. Lady Vol senior Brittany
Sheffey made the All-South Region and All-SEC squads and qualified
for her first NCAA Championship meet, while Vol senior Chris Bodary
earned All-South Region accolades and rookie Austin Whitelaw was a
member of the SEC All-Freshman squad.
At UVa, Reeves coached women’s cross country and distance
runners, developing two ACC champions, three regional qualifiers and
three NCAA Championship qualifiers. There were three school records
broken, two athletes made the finals of the USA Championships and
her NCAA qualifiers cranked out an individual runner-up outing and a
third-place relay showing at the national meet.
In addition to her coaching experience at Virginia, Reeves was at
Virginia Tech from 2001 to 2004, serving as an assistant track & field and
cross country coach for the Hokie men and women. Besides coordinating the recruitment of male and female student-athletes, she produced
two All-Americans (one cross country, one track), six all-region cross
country runners and three conference champions.
Between her stints in Blacksburg and Charlottesville, and while
continuing her professional running career, the Timberland, N.C., native
and her husband, Jon, owned and operated Reeves Tennis and Fitness,
Inc., in Newnan, Ga. She coordinated strength and conditioning for
junior and adult athletes, created women’s fitness programs, directed
summer camps, scheduled programming, and managed the budget
and accounting for the business.
Reeves is making her second stop in Knoxville, having trained
as a professional distance runner with Clark from 2004-07. In a postcollegiate career that stretched from 2001 to 2010, she represented
both Nike and Brooks and was consistently ranked among the top five
female 1500m runners in the U.S.
She won gold medals in the 800 and 1500m at the 2007 NACAC
Championships, silver medals in the 1500m at the 2003 and 2007 Pan
Am Games and silvers in the 800m and 1500m at the 2002 U.S. Indoor
Championships. She also participated in the 2000, 2004 and 2008 U.S.
Olympic Trials, taking fifth in the 1500m in 2000 and 2004.
The recipient of a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Appalachian State University in 2001, Reeves was a two-time NCAA champion
(1500m), six-time All-American and 26-time conference champion,
including three straight titles in cross country. She was twice named

THE TEAM
Former SEC and USA Track & Field standout Rohsaan Griffin joined
the Tennessee staff as a volunteer assistant in 2011 to work with the Big
Orange men’s and women’s sprint groups. A year later, he finds himself
in the position of full-time assistant coach, in charge of the UT men’s
sprints and hurdles corps and relay units.
A 1996 graduate of LSU, and the victor in the 200 meters that
season at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, Griffin enjoyed a very
successful professional career in track & field. He was the 1997 and 1999
USA Indoor 200m champion and posted finishes of fourth and sixth at
the World Indoor Championships those seasons. At the 1999 USA meet,
he ran a time of 20.32 that was then an American indoor record.
An eight-time All-American and SEC champion as a collegian,
Griffin was the winner of the SEC Indoor and Outdoor 200m titles in
1996 and won indoors as well in 1995. He also competed in the hurdles
earlier in his track career, which took him from La Marque [Texas] High
School (‘92), to San Jacinto Junior College (‘94) to LSU (‘96).
Griffin previously served full-time coaching stints at East Tennessee
State and Milligan College in Johnson City, Tenn., before filling the
volunteer post with Tennessee. He also is a four-year veteran of the U.S.
Army, serving during Operation Iraqi Freedom with the Army’s World
Class Athlete Program (WCAP).
WCAP is designed to give elite soldier-athletes an opportunity
to compete in the Olympics, world and national championships in
numerous sports. The program provides soldier-athletes as goodwill
ambassadors for sporting events throughout the world and it helps the
Army with recruiting and retention, according to Paulette Freese, WCAP

DANIEL GOETZ
Volunteer Assistant
(Men’s/Women’s Jumps)
First Year
Daniel Goetz is in his first season as a volunteer assistant at UT. He will
be working with the men’s and women’s distance runners.
A 2010 graduate of Bryan College in Dayton, Tenn., Goetz began
his coaching career in 2010 as an assistant for the Lions’ cross country
team. He helped the men’s squad post a seventh-place finish at the NAIA
Championships, the best in school history.
In January 2011, he enrolled in graduate school at UT to pursue a
master’s in kinesiology with a double focus in biomechanics and exercise
physiology. He teaches an activity class as a graduate teaching assistant in
the kinesiology department and observed the Tennessee track & field staff
before becoming a part of the unit in 2011.
An all-state performer in cross country and track in his only season of
participation as a senior at Chattanooga Christian School, Goetz was the
first recruit by the Bryan program in 2005. He qualified four times for the
NAIA Cross Country Championships and earned All-America acclaim in
the mile in 2008 for a fourth-place finish on the oval. He also was rewarded
for his work in the classroom, picking up NAIA Academic All-America
accolades in 2009 and 2010.
DAVID JOB
Volunteer Assistant
(Women’s Pole Vault)
Tenth Year
Job also developed Jessica Andrews and Kendra Rhyne into SECcaliber competitors before they completed their collegiate careers in
2005. Rhyne scored points for her squad in eighth position indoors and
sixth place outdoors at the 2004 SEC Championships and carded a tie for
eighth at the 2005 conference outdoor gathering. Andrews, meanwhile,
managed a tie for eighth at the 2005 SEC Indoor Championships.
During the 2003 campaign, he worked with senior vaulter Christie
Elwin and helped the Australian increase her then-indoor and outdoor
school records to 13-2.25 and earn her first trip to the NCAA Outdoor
Championships. Elwin’s top finishes included taking fourth at the SEC
Indoor meet and fifth at the first-ever NCAA Mideast Regional, charting
school standards on each occasion.
During his dozen years of coaching prior to UT, his prep pupils won
titles or placed at the state championship meet in each of those seasons.
In 2002, one of the student-athletes he directed, Andy Lane Jr., won the
Young Men division at the AAU Junior Olympics. Other Job protégés have
set women’s records at numerous meets, including the Knoxville News
Sentinel Relays and the Volunteer Track Classic.
Among his charges are three Lady Vols who hail from the Knoxville
metropolitan area. He guided Rhyne to a state title and Tennessee record
in 2001, Reust to a state crown in 2002 and also worked with Andrews.
Additionally, he helped male vaulters Nate and Jake Parkhurst win a state
championship in 2000 and finish second in 2001, respectively.
Job is in his second stint as a coach at UT, having worked with the
men’s program as assistant vault coach from 1970-72. He did so after a
standout career at Tennessee, in which he earned three letters and claimed
the school pole vault record in 1965.
Before Job’s college career ended, however, he was called to serve his
country in the Army during the Vietnam War from the fall of 1966 until the
fall of 1969. He later returned to UT and resumed his studies in the School
of Architecture, earning his diploma in 1973.
During a military assignment in Germany, Job vaulted in Europe for
the “Mannheim Turniern und Sport Gellsellshaft” Sports Club, setting that
organization’s record in the event. During that time, he also etched his
name in the record books by achieving the best clearance for the Rhine
Pfaltz District in Germany.
In his other occupation, Job is president of The Learning Network, Inc.,
an e-learning company focused on corporate training. The father of grown
children Jeni and Matt, Job still resides in Oak Ridge.
RUSS JOHNSON
Volunteer Assistant
(Men’s Pole Vault)
Seventh Year
Back for his 10th season in charge of the Lady Vol pole vaulters is
former University of Tennessee record-holder David Job. A native of Oak
Ridge, Tenn., Job previously spent 12 years coaching high school vaulters
throughout the Knoxville metropolitan area before lending his expertise
to the Big Orange program in 2003.
The past nine seasons have seen Job develop school-record-setting
athletes as well as SEC scorers and NCAA qualifiers. His pupils hold the top
five outdoor marks and the top three indoor heights in school history.
The most recent Lady Vol to join that club is Linda Hadfield, who
became an impact performer as a freshman in 2011. Her career-best
clearance of 13-1 3/4 at the SEC Outdoor Championships earned her a
sixth-place finish and SEC All-Freshman Team status. That mark ranks her
No. 4 on UT’s all-time performers list outdoors.
Alicia Essex, whom Job developed into a three-time SEC scorer, is a
member of that cadre. A third-place finisher at the league outdoor meet in
2009, Essex finished her career No. 2 on the UT outdoor list at 13-7 1/4 and
third indoors at 13-0 3/4.
In 2004, sophomore Jessica Reust benefitted from Job’s tutelage,
blossoming into the school’s top vaulter outdoors, winning the SEC
Outdoor title and advancing to the NCAA Championship meet in June.
In only her second year at UT, Reust carded the best-ever clearance
outdoors by a Tennessee woman, sailing over 13-3.50 to claim the SEC
crown in May 2004 and become the third Lady Vol to win that event
outdoors since 1998. She increased the standard to 13-7.75 in 2006 in
a third-place effort at the SEC Outdoor Championships. Reust stands at
number two on the Lady Vols’ career indoor performers list, with a thirdplace outcome of 13-1 at the 2005 SEC Indoor Championships.

Russ Johnson is in his seventh year as the men’s pole vault coach at
Rocky Top, and he will work alongside jumps coach Jerome Romain for the
third season.
Johnson returned to The Hill in 2006 with the goal of helping Tennessee’s pole vaulters continue to build on their long history of dominance
in the Southeastern Conference. He has done exactly that, and with great
consistency, since taking over coaching duties in the event.
Johnson’s vaulters have won 10 SEC titles during his tenure at Tennessee. UT pole vaulters have combined to score 176.80 points at 12 SEC
Championships since Johnson began coaching, an average of just under
15 points per competition.
Joe Berry pulled off a season sweep in 2011, walking away with SEC
Indoor and Outdoor crowns in the vault. The junior cleared 17-7 1/2 indoors and soared over 17-8 1/2 outdoors to win titles four and five of his
collegiate career. Redshirt freshman Chase Brannon was fifth outdoors (PR
of 16-6 3/4) and tied for eighth inside at the league meets, while junior
Robert Rasnick was seventh indoors.
An injury to Berry lessened the point production in 2010, but Rasnick
(sixth) and Berry (t8th) managed to score indoors. Rasnick and Brad Holtz
also qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
In 2009, Johnson’s vaulters posted a 1-2-4 finish at the SEC Indoor
Championships and a 1-4-7 outcome at the SEC Outdoor meet. The cham-

BILL SCHMIDT
Volunteer Assistant
(Javelin)
Second Year
Bill Schmidt joined the University of Tennessee track & field staff for his
third tour of duty in 2010-11 and offers the Vol and Lady Vol javelin throwers
a great resource in that event again in 2011-12. He previously served as an
assistant coach at UT from 1973-76 and as a volunteer aide from 1982-83,
both times on the staff of head coach Stan Huntsman.
An Olympic athlete, Olympic organizer, corporate executive, sports
marketing pioneer and educator, Schmidt grew up in western Pennsylvania,
the son of a coal miner. Competing in high school sports at Canon-McMillan
High School in Canonsburg, his path to college athletics was as a walk-on,
non-scholarship athlete at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas.
He would eventually earn a scholarship at UNT, collect All-America
honors via a runner-up javelin finish at the 1970 NCAA Championships and
graduate with a degree in business administration.
After being drafted into the U.S. Army, he continued his javelin career,
winning a World Championship, setting a world record and winning
the bronze medal at the Munich Olympics in 1972. He remains the only
American to medal in the javelin at the Olympic Games since 1952 (a span
of 58 years).
His career in sports marketing began at the 1982 World’s Fair in
Knoxville, Tenn., where he was director of sports. He developed, packaged,
managed and sold 23 sporting events over the six-month run of the Fair.
The Gatorade Sports Hall of Fame at the Fair, was managed and developed
by Schmidt. Later, he joined Gatorade at Stokely Van Camp in Indianapolis,
Ind., as director of sports development.

INFO.
pion at both meets was Berry, who posted his second- and third-straight
SEC pole vault crowns under Johnson to go along with a runner-up finish.
Berry’s wins, along with top-eight finishes from Holtz and Michael Ayers
both indoors and outdoors, meant Johnson had coached at least three athletes to scoring performances at five-consecutive conference meets.
In 2008, Johnson directed Michael Hogue to his third-straight
SEC crown indoors and Berry to a conference title outdoors, while Holtz
managed two scoring performances and Ayers secured one.
Outdoors in 2007, Johnson had four vaulters score 24.5 points in the
pole vault to give Tennessee the lead in the team standings on Saturday
afternoon, helping the Vols to the program’s 25th conference outdoor title.
Johnson also is responsible for putting Hogue and Berry on the program’s all-time outdoor top-10 list in the pole vault. Berry is ninth at 5.41m
(17-9) and Hogue is 10th at 5.40m (17-8 1/2 indoors). Holtz sits at 12th on
the all-time list with a top clearance of 5.30m (17-4.5).
Johnson also boasts a successful career as a Tennessee athlete. He currently stands second on Tennessee’s storied pole vault top-10 list with a
best of (5.65m) 18-6.5, trailing only collegiate record holder Lawrence Johnson.
Serving as a fifth-year coach in 2000 and training post-collegiately in
2000 and 2001, Johnson remained involved in the pole vault and has continued to diligently study the event. He also holds firm beliefs about the importance of developing strong student-athletes, authoring two Academic
All-America seasons himself.
Johnson received his bachelor’s (2000) and master’s (2002) degrees in
sports medicine from the University of Tennessee. He went on to earn a
master’s in physical therapy from the Medical College of Georgia in 2004.
He currently works as a physical therapist and site coordinator at Ortho

Triumphant collegiate programs are able to distinguish themselves
from their counterparts because of superiority on the field of competition and within the classroom. Under the vision and direction of Women’s
Athletics Director Joan Cronan, the University of Tennessee Lady Vols have
garnered a reputation as one of the most visible and respected programs
throughout the nation.
UT’s success in the athletic and academic realms speaks volumes about
her decision making and leadership, as demonstrated by her appointment
to the 2010 NCAA Div. I Leadership Council and selection as the president
of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) in
2008-09. Cronan is also a former president of the National Association of
Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators (NACWAA).
Cronan joined UT from the College of Charleston, where she served
as the athletics director for 10 years and was later inducted into that
institution’s hall of fame. Under Cronan, the school was selected as the
No. 1 women’s athletics program in the country in 1980 by the American
Women’s Sports Foundation.
As a former coach, Cronan served a two-year stint at Tennessee
from 1968 to 1970. In 1969, she led the women’s basketball team to an
alternate berth in the first-ever National Invitational Collegiate Basketball
Tournament. While at Charleston, she continued her success, not only as

SEASON
IN REVIEW
2011 SEASON IN REVIEW
The 2011 track & field campaign saw the Tennessee women
remain among the nation’s top programs and the men’s team begin
its climb back to the heights at which the Vols are accustomed.
J.J. Clark’s second year in command of both the men’s and
women’s squads at Rocky Top left him desiring more from those
units and recommitted to making sure he and his staff are doing
all they can to make UT the outfit that everyone expects it to be.
The Lady Vols produced their 10th top-ten national finish
under Clark’s tutelage, tying for seventh place with 24 points at
the NCAA Indoor Championships in College Station, Texas. Senior
Jackie Areson played a huge role in that outcome, becoming the
first UT woman to win an indoor national title in the 5000 meters.
Areson covered the distance in 16:04.16, while classmate Liz
Costello finished fifth in 16:11.06 to provide 14 points for the Big
Orange in that event. Areson added a fourth-place outcome in the
3000m to boot, crossing the line in 9:17.88.
“We put some points on the board, which was the obvious
goal,” Clark said. “Jackie winning the 5K was sensational. Liz
Costello also put forth a great effort in the 5K. She wasn’t feeling
well but came back and was very, very courageous in scoring for
the team.”
UT also secured points in the 800m from junior Chanelle
Price (6th, 2:05.42) and via eighth-place finishes from junior Ellen
Wortham in the pentathlon (4,042 points) and the distance medley
relay (DMR), with Price, Wortham, sophomore Nijgia Snapp and
junior Brittany Sheffey moving the baton around in 11:07.86.
Garnering first-team USTFCCCA All-America status were
Areson in the 3000m and 5000m, Costello in the 5000m, Price in
the 800m and DMR, Wortham in the pentathlon and DMR and
Snapp and Sheffey with the DMR.
Costello netted second-team kudos for a 12th-place effort in
the 3K, as did Snapp, Wortham, sophomore Martinique Octave
and freshman Kianna Ruff with UT’s ninth-place 4x400m relay unit.
After failing to get on the board and having no All-Americans
at the 2010 NCAA Indoor meet, Tennessee’s men wound up 39th
with five points and boasted two All-Americans in 2011, both of
them freshmen.
In the men’s 60-meter dash, redshirt freshman Dentarius Locke
rolled down the straightaway in 6.67 seconds to lasso a fifth-place
finish. That effort was the best in the 60 by a Vol at the NCAA Indoor
meet since Justin Gatlin and Leonard Scott went one-two in 2002.
“Dentarius came out this year and was very excited to be running, and we were very happy to have him here,” Clark said. “He has
just kept getting better
and better throughout
the season, and that’s
what you want them
to do.“
Justin Hunter, also
a standout on the football team, earned track
& field All-America credentials by virtue of
an eighth-place effort
in the long jump. His
mark of record was
25 feet, 4 1/4 inches,
coming at the end of
an indoor season that
saw him set the UT
freshman record and
the No. 3 all-time indoor mark at 26-1 1/2.
“It was good to
see Justin become our
second Vol All-American at this meet,” Clark
said. “On both sides,
we need to have more Jackie Areson won the SEC Indoor 3000m in a meet-record time
and became the first Lady Vol to win an NCAA Indoor 5000m title.
bodies here.”

Tennessee TRACK & FIELD /// 2012 Media Guide
“The women were
top 10, and the men’s
team definitely needs
more quality. We’re going to make sure that
happens. That said, I am
very proud of the efforts
of the people who were
here.”
At the SEC level,
the Lady Vols improved
from fourth in 2010 to
third in 2011, while the
Vols moved from 10th
to eighth.
The Lady Vols’ 78
SEC Indoor points were
bolstered by victories
from Areson in the
3000m, Costello in the
5000m, Price in the
800m and the school’s
fifth-consecutive league
triumph in the distance Peter Sigilai anchored UT’s DMR to second place and was an
medley relay.
indoor and outdoor scorer in the 800m at the SEC Championships.
Areson
led
an
impressive
one-twothree Lady Vol finish in the 3K, eclipsing a 24-year-old league meet
record with her 9:10.49 effort. Costello and Sheffey followed her
across the line, enabling Tennessee to snare 24 points in a single
race.
“Obviously, it’s very satisfying, but more importantly we were
able to score points for our team,” Clark said. “It’s very gratifying to
take one-two-three, because I’ve never done that before. People
say that I’m an ‘800 coach’, but I’ve never done that in the 800, so
maybe I’m a 3K coach,” Clark said as he chuckled.
“In all seriousness, it’s a great feeling for Jackie to break a
24-year-old record. It shows you how good she was, because she
broke it fairly easily, and she just had a good run. There were really
a lot of athletes in that race, probably too many, and there was a lot
of bumping and pushing in the beginning. Jackie just took the lead
and never looked back.”
Tennessee also toppled its year-old meet record in the DMR,
with Sheffey, junior Ashley Harris, Price and Areson working together
toward an 11:05.37 clocking. That gave the Big Orange women their
seventh win in that event at the SEC meet under Clark’s direction
and qualified them for nationals.
“Running an automatic qualifying mark at the end of the meet
is absolutely fantastic,” Clark said. “It’s one of the top times in the
country, and we’re happy we punched our ticket to the NCAA
meet.”
The Vols weren’t able to hit a qualifying mark or break a record,
but their runner-up showing in the DMR was equally satisfying for
Clark and his staff. The quartet of senior Chris Rapp, junior Terry
Benson, freshman Ford Bell and junior Peter Sigilai put together
a season-best time of 9:47.45 to contribute eight points to the
squad’s coffers. Sigilai’s anchor leg was perhaps his finest hour as a
Vol.
“It was great to see Peter have a great anchor leg and an explosive finish,” Clark said. “We knew that they could do this. We were
just hoping that they got it done, and they did. We needed all the
points we could from the men, and Peter did a good job providing
points for his team.”
Joe Berry did the DMR tandem one better, procuring 10 points
for his victory in the pole vault. Berry, a senior indoors, completed
a fantastic comeback from injury in winning his second SEC Indoor
title and the fourth overall crown.
After redshirting outdoors a year ago due to leg problems and
contemplating doing the same indoors in 2011, Berry is no doubt
glad he pressed onward. The league runner-up indoors in 2008,

in the 3000m steeplechase at the SEC Outdoor Championships.
Locke was the Vols’
lone representative at
the NCAA Outdoor gathering in Des Moines, Iowa, as Hunter and
Berry struggled in the cool, damp conditions at the NCAA East
Preliminary Rounds and did not qualify.
Against a veteran field, Locke managed to advance to the
200m dash final and chart an eighth-place finish in 20.91. He came
up short in the 100, bowing out in the semifinal round. Still he
was good enough to earn All-America status in each, including
first-team kudos in the longer race and second-team honors in the
shorter one.
First-teamers for the Lady Vols included Alexander, Octave,
Price, Ruff, Snapp and Wortham. Second-unit selections were Sheffey (12th in 1500m) and Wortham (semifinalist in 400m hurdles).
“My goal coming into the final day was to see if the women
could get into the 20s for points,” Clark said. “I figured if we could
get into the mid-20s that would probably get us a top-10 finish.
We came in 11th and did the best we could with what we had, and
that’s all we could do.
“On the men’s side, we need more talent at the national level.
It’s plain and simple.”
The SEC Outdoor meet featured both the Lady Vols and Vols
climbing the ladder from the previous season. The UT women
moved from seventh to fifth, while the men rose from ninth to
eighth. More impressive was the fact that the Big Orange walked
out of Athens, Ga., with eight individual titles at that meet.
Berry, a junior in eligibility outdoors, brought his “A game” to
the track on the final day of the meet, ignoring the swirling winds
to claim a league indoor/outdoor sweep and his fifth conference
title in the pole vault for the Vols. His 17-feet, 8 1/2 inch seasontopping clearance was only a half inch off his 2008 career best.
Only six-time SEC champion and 2000 U.S. Olympic silver
medalist Lawrence Johnson has won more conference pole vault
titles for the Big Orange than Berry, who claimed the 17th outdoor
vault crown by a Vol.
“Joe’s in very, very elite company with Lawrence Johnson,” Clark
said. “Joe Berry is a great competitor and a proven champion. He
was focused and intense, and I am very happy he came here and
did the job.”
Locke nearly joined Berry as a Volunteer victor. His 10.12,
wind-aided (3.0 mps) outburst in the men’s 100-meter dash left
him a hundredth of a second shy of glory, as Florida’s Terrell Wilks
edged him in 10.11.
Locke added to that eight-point contribution with six more in
the 200 meters. His season-best output of 20.59 earned him third

champion in 2009 and eighth-place finisher a year ago, he cleared
17 feet, 7 1/2 inches this time around to hand UT its 18th all-time
indoor win in the vault and fifth in six years.
“That was big,” Clark said. “Joe Berry is a competitor, and he has
proven that. He had a down year last year with an injury, but he’s
come back in great form.
“His coach, Russ Johnson, does a great job with him. Robert
Rasnick (7th) and Chase Brannon (t8th) scored in that group, and
they just did a great job in getting the team excited. They got us a
big 12 points to get us on the road.”
“I just want to keep improving,” Clark said. “We’re shooting
for the number-one spot, and right now we have improvements,
personal bests, records, SEC champions on both sides, and that’s
where we’re starting from right now.
“We’re going to move forward until we get to that top spot. For
right now, we have to climb the ladder until we reach the pinnacle.”
Looking back at the SEC Indoor honor roll, Tennessee was well
represented. Making the women’s All-SEC First Team were Areson,
Costello, Harris, Price and Sheffey, while Berry was a member of the
men’s unit. Areson was named SEC Indoor Runner of the Year for her
exploits, while Costello tied as the SEC Co-High Point Scorer among
women with 18 points.
Making the SEC’s second unit for Tennessee were men’s DMR
components Benson, Ford, Rapp and Sigilai, while Vols Hunter and
Locke, and Lady Vol Ruff earned spots on the SEC All-Freshman Team.
The outdoor campaign didn’t go quite as well for either team,
but the Lady Vols weren’t far off their indoor pace, and there were
plenty of bright spots for Tennessee to celebrate as a whole.
The NCAA Outdoor meet saw the UT women tally 20 points, just
four fewer than they scored indoors. This despite the loss of Areson
to graduation and the absence of Costello due to a fall at the NCAA
East Preliminary Round that prevented her from qualifying nationally.
After finishing sixth in the 800m indoors, Price upped her game
outdoors with a 2:03.02 effort that enabled her to place third for her
best individual showing as a collegian.
“Chanelle did a lot of things right, showed good poise and had
a very solid race,” Clark said. “We discussed it afterward, and she felt
like she might have gotten excited and tried to move too early coming down the homestretch. She is learning how to execute from the
front, and it’s exciting to see her discovering the ability to master
that.
“There’s definitely a lot more there for her, and she made
nice progress since
the indoor season. She
executed and maintained her poise better
during the outdoor
season.”
Junior thrower
Annie Alexander added two more thirdplace performances,
making a big impact
after redshirting indoors and rediscovering the outstanding
form she displayed as
a freshman.
Already the
school record-holder
indoors and out in the
shot put, Alexander
improved her outdoor
best to 57-11 to snare
third in that event. She
matched that placement in the discus
with a fling of 188-9, Liz Costello swept the 5000m at the SEC Indoor and Outdoor
adding to the third- Championships and set a meet record in the 10K outdoors as well.

place and a total of 14 individual points in his first SEC Outdoor
Championship meet.
The Lady Vols, meanwhile, claimed seven event crowns, including double wins by Alexander and Costello, in an impressive
showing.
After scoring 18 points at the conference indoor meet, Costello
came back outside to tally 20 in her first and only season at UT after
transferring from Princeton. She did so by becoming the first Lady
Vol to win an SEC 10,000m race. Costello set a meet and facility
record of 33:42.96 to do so and followed it with a triumph in the
5000m to give UT its second-straight champ in that event. The Lady
Vol senior was able to hold off Georgia standout Bridget Lyons twice
on the UGA runner’s home track for those wins.
Alexander, meanwhile, came back from a redshirt indoor
campaign to sweep the outdoor shot put and discus titles just as
she did as a rookie in 2008. Her heave of 57-5 earned her the shot
crown, while she prevailed in the discus with a toss of 184-5 to equal
Costello in outdoor league point production for Tennessee.
“Since I’ve been coaching, I don’t believe I have ever had two
athletes who were double victors,” Clark said. “That is outstanding,
and that is what you need, especially at the national level, and they
are both national-caliber athletes.”
Also claiming running event victories for the Orange and
White at the SEC meet were Brittany Sheffey in the 1500m, Chanelle
Price, with a season indoor/outdoor sweep in the 800m, and Ellen
Wortham, whose come-from-behind triumph in the 400m hurdles
was one of the meet’s most scintillating performances.
“We had some exciting things happen, and it is not necessarily
reflected by the team finishes,” Clark said. “Our teams combined to
win eight SEC championships at this meet, and Dentarius Locke was
a runner-up in the 100m dash. There were some very good performances, and I am really pleased with the direction the program is
going.
“We had eight SEC titles this weekend between our women’s
and men’s programs. We just have to get some more depth to round
our team out, and we’ll be in good shape.”
In terms of postseason honors, the Vols put Berry on the All-SEC
First Team, while Locke was a second-team selection as well as the
SEC Outdoor Freshman Runner of the Year. Locke, Bell (13th, 800m)
and Chase Brannon (5th, pole vault) also earned spots on the SEC
All-Freshman Team.
For the Lady Vols, first-teamers included Alexander, Costello,
Price, Sheffey and Wortham, while an SEC All-Freshman Team nod
went to Linda Hadfield,
who finished sixth and
had a UT freshman record
clearance of 13-1 3/4 in
the pole vault.
Other SEC accolades
involving the Big Orange
included Pr ice being
named the SEC Co-Track
& Field Scholar-Athlete
of the Year, marking the
fourth-straight time a Lady
Vol has won, and inclusion
on the SEC Track & Field

by Vol Steve Fassino and

During the course
of the season, there were
other highlights, including
the renewal of a long-time
dual meet with UCLA, success at the Sea Ray Relays
and recognition for academic prowess.
As the Vols renewed Freshman Kianna Ruff was a 4x400m relay All-American and

the 400m hurdles and assisted in victories in the 4x100m relay and
4x400m relay, while Alexander was the victor in the shot put and

The Vols, meanwhile, picked up a pair of wins of their own at
Sea Rays. Sigilai won the Invitational 1500m, while the Big Orange
4x400m relay also prevailed on its home oval.
In addition to what previously has been mentioned, there were
other school standards broken. Locke rewrote the Vol freshman
indoor mark in the 300m at 33.96 in the Hokie Invitational, while
Areson improved the Lady Vol indoor 3K and 5K bests to 9:01.91 and
15:39.81, respectively, at the Penn State National and Husky Classic.
Additionally, Costello lowered the outdoor women’s 10K standard
to 33:25.66 at the Stanford Invitational.
Academically, Tennessee continued to demonstrate Clark’s
emphasis on developing champions on the track, in the classroom
and in life.
Price was named to the 15-member first unit of the Capital One
Academic All-America Track & Field/Cross Country Team. She is the
fourth from the program to earn first-team distinction and collected
the 11th overall Capital One Academic All-America citation by a team
member.
UT had four athletes named to the Capital One Academic AllDistrict IV Track & Field/Cross Country Team, including first-team
selection Price and second-team honorees Holly Kane, Tiller and
Wortham.
Tennessee’s women were once again named a USTFCCCA All-Academic team, sporting a cumulative GPA of 3.22, and ten members of
the Lady Vol squad were named to the 2011 USTFCCCA All-Academic
Track & Field Team. Making the list were Areson, Costello, Hadfield,
Aslynn Halvorson, Jessie Harrison, Kia Jackson, Octave, Price, Ruff
and Wortham.
Finally, a total of 33 members of the squads were named to
the 2010-11 SEC Spring Academic Honor Roll. Seventeen more
made the SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll, adding yet another
positive note to the 2010-11 track & field season.

SOUTHEASTERN
CONFERENCE
THE SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE
The Southeastern Conference, with its storied 78-year
history of athletic achievements and academic excellence,
has built perhaps the greatest tradition of intercollegiate
competition of any league in the country since its inception in
1933.
The 2010-11 academic year was another season to
remember for the SEC, as conference teams captured five
national titles and three national runner-up finishes. The SEC has
won consecutive national championships in baseball, football
and men’s indoor track & field. Since 1990, the SEC has won 140
national team championships for an average of more than six
per year.
Auburn won the SEC’s first national title of the year with its
victory over Oregon in the BCS National Championship Game
in football. It is the SEC’s fifth consecutive football national
title. Florida won its second consecutive national title in men’s
indoor track & field, while the Gators’ women’s tennis team also
captured the national championship. Alabama won its fifth
gymnastics national title, and South Carolina won its second
consecutive national championship in baseball. Florida finished
first among Southeastern Conference schools and fourth overall
in the Director’s Cup final standings.
Overall, the SEC finished in the top two in eight of its 20
sponsored sports and in the top five in 14 of the 20 sports.
Ten SEC teams participated in football postseason bowls with
Auburn, LSU, Mississippi State, Alabama and Florida winning
the BCS National Title Game, Cotton, Gator, Capital One and
Outback bowls, respectively. Five men’s basketball teams were
invited to the NCAA Tournament, and four women’s basketball
teams were also invited to the NCAA Tournament. The SEC had
seven teams advance to postseason play in baseball, hosting
three regionals, with South Carolina, Florida and Vanderbilt
advancing to the College World Series. With 139 teams
advancing to NCAA postseason competition, the SEC continued
to solidify its place as the nation’s premier conference.
In addition to the four team championships, 39 SEC studentathletes garnered individual national championships, while 367
individuals were awarded with first-team All-America honors.
Student-athletes around the league continued to excel in the
classroom, as well, with more than 2,300 earning recognition on
the SEC Academic Honor Roll.
On the national all-sport level, nine SEC schools placed in
the top 40 of the NACDA Director’s Cup rankings. Florida led the
league with a fourth-place finish. LSU placed 19th, while Georgia
was 20th. Tennessee finished 22nd, Arkansas 24th, Alabama
25th, Auburn 31st, Kentucky 36th and South Carolina 39th to
round out the league’s top-40 finishes.

LADY VOL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
 2009 NCAA INDOOR CHAMPIONS
The second-ranked Tennessee Lady Vols
traveled deep into the heart of Texas and captured their second NCAA Indoor Track & Field
Championship in the past five seasons before
a crowd of 4,917 at Texas A&M’s Gilliam Indoor
Track Stadium.
The nine-member Lady Vol squad scored
42 points, enough to clinch the victory with
two events remaining, and won the program’s
third overall national title to go along with
another NCAA Indoor title in 2005 and an
AIAW Outdoor crown in 1981. Texas A&M, who
defeated the Lady Vols head-to-head in a home
dual meet on Jan. 24, 83-69, gamely tallied 37
points to place second. BYU was third with 33,
followed by Texas (31) and Arizona State (30)
rounding out the top five.
“The character and heart of this team
was just unbelievable,” seventh-year UT Head
Coach J.J. Clark said. “What they did today,
coming out here competing and breaking
meet and school records, it’s just an unbelievable performance by the entire team. A world
record in the DMR, 8.04 in the 100 hurdles, 4:29
in the mile, 57-2 in the shot and then Phoebe
Wright, who was really sick last week, coming
here and giving her best performance today,
was absolutely critical. I am really proud of
what they’ve done.
Senior Sarah Bowman started the day in
grand fashion for the Big Orange by capturing
her first-ever NCAA individual crown and her
third overall national triumph in a meet-record
and school-best clocking of four minutes, 29.72
seconds in the mile run. She dramatically outleaned Texas Tech’s sensational Sally Kipyego
at the finish line after a fabulous final-lap fight
96
Tennessee TRACK & FIELD /// 2012 Media Guide
for victory and became the school’s first-ever
NCAA mile champion.
In the 60-meter hurdles, senior Celriece
Law provided the race of her life when her
team needed it most. About 15 minutes after
Bowman set the school record in winning the
mile, the Denver, Colo., native masterfully navigated the hurdles in a UT-best clocking of 8.04
seconds that earned her runner-up accolades
and contributed eight points toward the Big
Orange cause. Michigan’s Tiffany Ofili finished
just ahead of Law in 8.00.
While Bowman and Law were getting
the job done on the track, sophomore Annie Alexander was over in the shot put ring
unleashing a throw of
57 feet, two inches, that
would stand up for third
place and greatly leave
behind her previous
season-best of 54-11
1/4.
In Tennessee’s final
scoring opportunity,
junior Phoebe Wright
came through with the
decisive eight points
that tipped the scales in
the Lady Vols’ favor. Still
battling the effects of a
sinus infection, she gutted out a second-place
finish in the 800 meters
in a time of 2:04.38.
On Friday night, the
Lady Vols delivered a
world-record-setting performance in the distance medley relay to get the ball rolling. The
lineup of Wright, Brittany Jones, Chanelle Price
and Bowman covered the 4,000-meter distance
in 10 minutes, 50.98 seconds to top the previous world and collegiate record of 10:54.34, set
in 1988 by Villanova University. The mark also
crushed UT’s month-old American and school
record of 10:56.40, which it had run at the New
Balance Collegiate Invitational in New York City
on Feb. 6, as well as UCLA’s 10:58.19 NCAA meet
record from 2002.

Directed by eighth-year head coach Terry
Crawford, the 1981 Tennessee Lady Vols delivered the University of Tennessee its initial national championship in women’s athletics. A group
that became known as the “Ten That Made One”
scored 61 points in Austin, Texas, to fend off runner-up UCLA’s 57 and hoist the 1981 AIAW Outdoor trophy high in the Texas sky.
Crawford’s squad produced a year filled with
firsts. Not only did the Big Orange capture a national title, Tennessee seized the 1981 Southeastern Conference Outdoor Championships during
the first season the league sponsored such a
meet for women.
Among the competitors for Team Orange in
Austin were Sharrieffa Barksdale, Kathy Bryant,
Myrtle Chester, Joetta Clark, Benita Fitzgerald,
Rose Hauch, Pam Passera, Linda Portasik, Cathy
Rattray and Delisa Walton.
The Lady Vols thrived from victories in the
100m hurdles from Fitzgerald, a triumph in the
4x400m relay by the quartet of Barksdale, Clark,
Rattray and Walton and a win in the 800m medley relay by the tandem of Barksdale, Fitzgerald,
Rattray and Walton. Hauch and Walton added
runner-up outcomes in the shot put and 800m,
respectively, while Clark chipped in a third-place
performance in the 800m.

The Lady Vols won their first-ever NCAA
title in track & field and the University of Tennessee Women’s Athletics Department’s first
NCAA crown in any sport besides basketball in
2005. In J.J. Clark’s third year at the helm, Tennessee followed up an impressive victory at the
SEC Indoor Championships by taking the NCAA
Indoor hardware in Fayetteville, Ark., with 46
points, holding off runner-up Florida by 10.
As was the case with UT’s AIAW crown in
1981, when coach Clark’s older sister, Joetta
Clark, was a key member of the team, the Big
Orange utilized 10 women to get the job done
and bring the trophy home to Knoxville. Members of that historic squad included Courtney
Champion, Nicole Cook, Antoinette Gorham,
Felicia Guliford, Patricia Hall, LaTonya Loche,
Tianna Madison, Brooke Novak, Toyin Olupona
and Cleo Tyson.
UT was fueled by a victory in the long jump
from Madison, a 2-3-6 finish in the 60 meters
from Olupona, Madison and Champion, a 3-78 spree in the 200m by Champion, Tyson and
Loche and a runner-up effort by the 4x400m

VOL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
 2002 NCAA INDOOR CHAMPIONS
Tennessee marked its last day of NCAA indoor mourning with a ferocious comeback to capture the school’s first NCAA indoor title with 62.5
points in front of 5,567 fans at the Randal Tyson Track Center in Fayetteville,
Ark.
Led by high scorer Justin Gatlin’s 22 points, nine Volunteers pieced together a championship effort and changed Tennessee track and field history on the home track of collegiate track’s greatest dynasty.
With overachieving performances down the line, Tennessee outdistanced its conference foes for the title, as Alabama, LSU and Arkansas
rounded out the rest of the SEC’s dominating quartet.
Speed merchants Justin Gatlin and Leonard Scott got the Vols off to
a torrid start on the opening day with a combined 16 points in the 200
meters. Gatlin’s 20.63-second time placed him atop the awards stand for
the first time of the weekend. Scott’s 20.80 proved good for third. 60-meter
hurdler Karl Jennings stepped forward to claim his first All-America certificate and add four points to the Vol pot with a fifth-place, 7.80 finish.
The Volunteers stood third with 20 points as they reported for the final
day of events. Marc Sylvester ran in the first race of the day, as the Vol rookie overachieved to finish runner-up in the 800 in a school indoor-record
time of 1:47.41. His eight points moved the Vols within six points of leader
Alabama.
In the 400, Gary Kikaya continued the high-intensity tone with a school indoor record 45.93 to earn third. His heroic effort pulled the Vols
even with leader Alabama’s 34 points.
Tennessee sprinters Gatlin and Scott pulled off a 1-2 finish in the 60 to propel the Vols into the team lead for the first time. Gatlin’s 6.59 effort
gave the Vol sophomore his second NCAA title in as many days. Scott’s runner-up 6.61 gave the Volunteer hopes a critical shot in the arm. With a
sixth-place-tying clearance of 17-feet, 7 3/4-inches in the pole vault, Rocky Danners’ 2.5 points gave the Vols enough of a cushion to secure the
team title.
With the team title locked up by a fraction, Tennessee breathed a little easier as the black-clad Vols lined up to secure the team title in the
4x400m relay. The Vols took runner-up honors in 3:06.87. Gatlin, Dwayne Bell Jr, Scott and Kikaya were the participants.
 2001 NCAA OUTDOOR CHAMPIONS
The Volunteers, buoyed by a sparkling performance
in the sprints, closed the 2001 NCAA Outdoor Championships with 50 points to edge TCU by a point in an exciting
NCAA Outdoor meet at historic Hayward Field in Eugene,
Ore.
True freshman Justin Gatlin set the pace for the Volunteers, as he was NCAA meet high scorer with 22 points
from wins in the 100 meters, 200 meters and a leg on the
second-place 4x100m relay.
The Vols opened the meet with an unexpected
fourth-place finish in the javelin from true freshman
Leigh Smith, who entered the competition with the 11thbest qualifying mark in the nation.
On the second day of the meet, Tennessee’s Stephen
Harris posted eight points with a personal-best, runnerup score of 7,871 in the decathlon.
The Vols were saddled with their fair share of adversity on day three. After Tennessee ran a track record
and NCAA-leading 4x100m relay semifinal, TCU clipped
the Vols by taking the first prize and capturing momentum in the team race. Second was the place for the Vol
relay team that featured Sean Lambert, Gatlin, Hassaan
Stamps and Leonard Scott.
Portions of the final day appeared bleak, as TCU lit up
the scoreboard. However, the Vols managed to stay in the
fray. Gatlin won the 100 and Lambert gamely took a crucial fourth-place finish.
Gatlin later decided that one NCAA title wasn’t
enough. When all-world TCU sprinter Kim Collins false-started in the 200 final, Gatlin was able to claim the 200 crown, his second of the day. Scott
proved a rock by bouncing back to earn sixth and knot the team count at 49. The gritty 4x400 relay team got the baton around cleanly for the
winning point in the last event of the meet.

The University of Tennessee track and field team rallied on the final day of competition to claim UT’s second
national championship in track and field.
The Vols won one event and scored in nine others to
accumulate 51points. Tennessee scored 31 points on the
final day of competition to take the lead from Washington State. The Cougars finished second with 42 points.
Junior Aric Long was the only Vol to claim an individual title. Long won the decathlon with 7,916 points.
Todd Williams pulled his share of the burden, as well.
Williams put the finishing touches on an outstanding career at Tennessee. The senior from Monroe, Mich., paced
himself to a second-place finish in the 10,000-meter run
to give the Vols the early lead on the first day of competition. Then, with the team title hanging in the balance
on the final day, Williams extended himself in the 5,000
meters and came up big, scoring a third-place finish. He
ended as the Vols’ top point man with 14.
Randy Jenkins nabbed second place with a school-record 7-foot, 6 1/2 inch clearance in the high jump. Senior
John Richardson launched the javelin 247-11 to claim a
needed second-place finish. Captain Brian Brophy turned
in a fine showing in the decathlon to finish third.
The NCAA outdoor title capped a season of highlights, as head coach Doug Brown’s, assistant head coach
Bill Webb’s and assistant coach George Watts’ Vols swept
the Southeastern Conference, winning cross country and
indoor and outdoor titles.
Tennessee won its first NCAA outdoor track and
field title with a team effort from the 100 yards to the
3,000-meter steeplechase and most distances in between.
The Volunteers won three events on the way to victory, scoring 60 points,the highest total of Tennessee’s
three NCAA outdoor title runs.
Reggie Jones tallied 19.5 points, the most by a Vol,
by accumulating a win in the 100-yard dash (9.18w),
second in the 220-yard dash (20.00w) and running the
second leg of Tennessee’s third-place 4x110-yard relay
(39.69).
Tennessee’s steeplechase corps offered up a onetwo finish to give the Volunteers a huge swing of momentum. Doug Brown took the title with an 8:35.84 contribution. Ron Addison helped paint the awards stand
orange with his runner-up finish (8:36.76).
One of three Vol NCAA champions, Willie Thomas
took top honors in the 880-yard run in 1:48.72 to do
his part in bringing Tennessee’s first NCAA track trophy
back to Knoxville.
Additionally, Darwin Bond contributed eight points
with a runner-up finish in the 440-yard dash, courtesy of
a 45.73 clocking.
Tennessee’s bronze 4x110-yard relay effort included
Greer Radcliff, Jones, Jon Young and Bond. The Vol quartet navigated the track in 39.69.
Tennessee’s victory was celebrated throughout the
South, as the Vols became the first southern team to win
a national track title since 1933. Earlier in the season, coach Stan Huntsman led the Vols to their 11th consecutive SEC title.

LADY VOLS AT NCAA/AIAW MEETS
Tennessee has a rich tradition of excellence competing
in national championships, winning seven national titles and
recording 81 top-10 finishes between it’s men’s and women’s track
& field programs.
The Lady Volunteer track & field squad garnered the first
national title by a UT women’s team when the squad won the 1981
AIAW Outdoor Championships, and it collected the first-ever nonbasketball women’s NCAA trophy at Rocky Top when the Big Orange
triumphed indoors in 2005. The Lady Vols added a third crown at
the 2009 NCAA Indoor meet.
All told, Tennessee’s women have placed in the top 10 at either
the indoor (17) or outdoor (18) national meet 35 times.
On the men’s side, the Vols have recorded 46 top-10 perfomances
through the years, including 24 indoors and 22 outdoors. Among
those were NCAA Outdoor titles in 1974, 1991 and 2001, and an
indoor crown in 2002.

2008 BEIJING OLYMPIAD
TENNESSEE REPRESENTED BY SEVEN INDIVIDUALS AT MOST RECENT OLYMPIC GAMES
The 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, saw the Tennessee track & field program represented by five Vols, one Lady Vol and UT
Director of Track & Field J.J. Clark. The total of five male athletes ties for the most Vols to compete in a single Olympiad.
Clark, who then served as head coach of the Big Orange women’s program, was an assistant coach for the U.S. women’s middle distance
contingent in Beijing, which included his younger sister, Hazel Clark, who was competing in her third Olympics. Lady Vol DeeDee Trotter
overcame injury to represent America for the second time in the 400 meters, bowing out in the semifinals in 51.87 to finish 17th overall
despite a balky knee that would require surgery soon afterward.
The UT men were represented in four different events. Two Vols were competing in the Olympics for the first time, two for the second
time and one for the third time. The most recent Orange and White competitor was Jangy Addy, who represented Liberia in the decathlon.
He finished the competition in 20th place after scoring 7,665 total points and posting personal bests in the 100m and the long jump. It was
Addy’s first Olympics.
Another former Vol, Tom Pappas, qualified for the decathlon at the U.S. Olympic Trials and traveled to Beijing to begin competition. He
was unable to complete the two-day task due to injury, however, and was forced to withdraw. It was Pappas’ third Olympics.
After posting a personal best and the third-fastest qualifying time in the steeplechase prelims, Anthony Famiglietti finished 13th in the
final in a time of 8:31.21. It was his second trip to the Olympic Games.
Gary Kikaya, representing the Democratic Republic of the Congo, qualified for the 400m semifinals at the Games, but he finished fifth in
his heat and tenth overall in the semifinals. His time of 44.94 was .12 seconds from being fast enough to qualify for the medal round. Kikaya
was at the Games for the second time.
Leigh Smith posted a mark of 76.55m (251-1) in the javelin qualification round, but he did not qualify for the finals. He was competing
in his first Olympics.

LADY VOLS AT THE PENN RELAYS
GENERAL
INFO.
SEASON
PREVIEW
Contested at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, Pa., and hosted by
the University of Pennsylvania, the Penn Relays shine as a national
treasure in track & field. Tennessee has been a fortunate women’s participant at the historic meet since 1978.
The Big Orange’s contributions have been so impressive that UT
is one of the few schools to enjoy having its university’s flag fly over
the event every year. In all, the Lady Volunteers have claimed 33 Penn
Relays championships during their history.
Since 2004, the Tennessee women have won a total of 11 relay
crowns, including three at the 2004, 2009 and 2010 meets. The 2010
event featured UT winning the 4x800m, 4x1500 and DMR for the second year in a row. This year’s 118th running of the Penn Relays takes
place from April 26-28.

In the last eighth trips to Philadelphia, the Tennessee men have
won a total of eight relay crowns, including three at the 2002 meet,

The University of Tennessee track and field program began in 1901 when University Track and Field Day was proclaimed and celebrated. UT
began intercollegiate competition in 1909 with the formation of the Southern Inter­col­legiate Athletic Association, though records are not
available from that season through 1921. The Vols had no team during the 1918 and 1919 seasons because of World War I. The program commenced outdoor Southeastern Conference compe­tition in 1933. World War II brought an end to the sport from 1943-46. Outdoor track and
field resumed in 1947. Indoor meets were introduced in 1960.

FACILITIES &
RECORDS
STOKELY ATHLETICS CENTER
Located in the center of campus, diagonally across Volunteer Boulevard from Tom Black Track at LaPorte Stadium, the William B. Stokely
Athletics Center serves as the home of University of Tennessee track & field indoor practices. Since 2008, the Vols and Lady Vols have had
the facility at their disposal for in-season track & field workouts, as the basketball team, with the construction of the Pratt Pavilion, no longer
needed Stokely as a back-up option to Thompson-Boling Arena for practice.
Dedicated in 1958 as the UT Armory Fieldhouse with a
seating capacity of 7,000, it was later renamed in honor of
the late William B. Stokely Jr., whose generosity resulted in
renovations that brought the total number of seats to 12,700.
Prior to the 2000 track & field season, the floor of the Stokely
Center was completely replaced, providing the Tennessee track
& field teams with a much-improved training surface.
In addition to track & field, the arena portion of the
building is also the site of Lady Vol volleyball practices and had
served as a back-up practice site for the Tennessee women’s and
men’s basketball teams. Stokely was the primary competition
and practice facility used by both the men’s basketball team
(1967-87) and Head Coach Pat Summitt’s eight-time national
champion women’s squad from 1976-87.
The building also continues to house some of the
administrative offices of the UT Women’s and Men’s Athletics
Departments as well as Army and Air Force ROTC. For the past
36 years, many of the women’s and men’s athletics offices have
been housed in Stokely. Those still operating in the building
include women’s athletic training, strength and conditioning
and media relations as well as the coaching staffs for men’s
and women’s golf and track & field, and women’s rowing and
volleyball. Adding to the structure’s list of virtues is the location
within of the largest women’s-only weight room facility in the
nation as well as a state-of-the-art training room.

IN REVIEW SEC CHAMPIONS AMERICANS OLYMPIANSHISTORY ROSTER HISTORY RECORDS & RECORDS
A venue that has hosted many a great meet, Tom Black Track at LaPorte Stadium took on a fresh appearance in 2010 as UT hosted the
SEC Championships. The eight-lane oval, situated in the heart of campus and showcasing a fresh PolyTan PUR surface applied in fall 2009, is
named after the Knoxville business leader whose generosity paved the way for its development. The stadium, meanwhile, was named after
the LaPorte Family of Elizabethton, Tenn., and Houston, Texas, in November 2005 for the family’s generous contributions toward enhancing
the overall ambience of the facility.
As mentioned, the facility’s look was upgraded in 2009-10, as the
track was resurfaced, the entry plaza completed, the pavilion upgraded,
and seating areas enhanced with attractive brick and the addition of a few
other cosmetic touches.
In 2003, thanks to the LaPorte family, the property also was improved
in preparation for that season’s SEC meet. A Daktronics video timing board
was installed on the east end, a concessions/storage building and bleacher
seating were added to the south side, and aesthetic enhancements were
made by paving areas adjacent to the track, remodeling the timing booth,
replacing old fencing and utilizing decorative landscaping. Upgrades also
included a new entry gate as well as brick columns and wrought iron
fencing.
The storied venue also underwent major renovation in 1992 to
improve its practicality and appearance. Three primary changes were
made to the facility, including moving of the start/finish line to the south
side of the track to best utilize favorable wind conditions, adding 2,500
temporary bleachers, and redesigning and resurfacing several field event
areas. In the spring of 2001, the impressive Thornton Athletics Student
Life Center was added, enhancing the skyline on the southeast corner.
Tom Black Track has been the site of several prestigious meets
through the years, such as the 1993, 2003 and 2010 SEC Championships,
the 1994 and 2005 USA Track & Field Youth National Championships,
the 1994 USA Track & Field Championships, the 1969 and 1995 NCAA
Championships, the 2006 NCAA Mideast Regional and the 2002 and 2007
AAU Junior Olympics. On an annual basis, the facility is home to a variety
of dual and invitational events, as well as the Sea Ray Relays and Volunteer
Track Classic.
