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. 6 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. “I am happy about Brittany Jones being healthy, and we’ll take anything her body will allow her to give. She’s always given us her best; I don’t think that is going to change.” A year ago, Harris, Wortham, Octave and Jackson were on UT’s sixth-place SEC 4x100m relay, while middle distance runners Price, Snapp and Ruff joined with Octave and Wortham to give UT not only SEC-scoring 4x4 units but an All-America NCAA quartet as well, with a seventh-place effort outdoors. Natural hurdlers besides Wortham include senior Bianca Blair and freshman Kasha McDougald, who specialize more in the 100m variety. Blair owns a best of 13.57 and is seeking a breakout race as a Lady Vol. Maryville’s Petree is expected to work indoors in the 200/400 meters and All-American, SEC champion and 15-time league scorer Ellen outdoors in the 800, as Wortham should once again provide UT with a bevy of points in the hurdles, jumps, sprints, relays and pentathlon as a senior. mentioned previously. utsports.com /// utladyvols.com SEASON THE NATIONAL ALL- TENNESSEE PROGRAM ALL-TIME COACHING SCHOOL FACILITIES IN REVIEW SEC CHAMPIONS AMERICANS OLYMPIANSHISTORY ROSTER HISTORY RECORDS & RECORDS Alexander, a four-time All-American, nine-time SEC scorer and fivetime league champ, heads up the women’s throws contingent. After redshirting indoors in 2011, Alexander made a huge impact outdoors, winning Women’s Sprints/Hurdles/Relays COACHES & MEET STAFF 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. Women’s Throws SEASON 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.” 7 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 Reggie Juin, Jarael Nelvis become the second pole vaulter in school history to win six SEC and Varick Tucker to set titles in that event. 8 Tennessee TRACK & FIELD /// 2012 Media Guide 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 decorated of UT’s distance Vols, including five times in the 800 meters, in which he finished 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 2012 SEASON PREVIEW Men’s Sprints/Relays Losing Locke certainly Deaundra Dailey helped three relay units score at the SEC level as a junior and hopes to do more of the same in 2012 as well as try to contend for a spot in the 400-meter finals. Men’s Multi-Events Carney is the lone returnee, but he is not expected to compete due to injury. That leaves true freshman Tabor, the 2011 Tennessee Division II state champion with a PR score of 6,767 as the Vols’ only decathlete. The Schedule Tennessee opens the indoor slate Jan. 13-14 at the Kentucky Invitational. The squads will make two new excursions in 2012 to Birmingham, Ala., for the Auburn Indoor Invitational (Jan. 21) and to Akron, Ohio, for the 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 Moines, Iowa). utsports.com /// utladyvols.com SEASON THE NATIONAL ALL- TENNESSEE PROGRAM ALL-TIME COACHING SCHOOL FACILITIES IN REVIEW SEC CHAMPIONS AMERICANS OLYMPIANSHISTORY ROSTER HISTORY RECORDS & RECORDS Frazier’s throws corps returns only one veteran, junior Drew Thomas. He finished 11th in the weight throw at the SEC Indoor meet in 2011 and hopes to produce points this time around. Redshirt freshman Matthew Hoty will finally make his Big Orange debut after a decorated prep career. He had PRs of 65-11 in the shot and 188-11 in the discus in high school. Transfer Tavis Bailey looks promising in the discus after placing fifth at the USA Junior Championships last summer, while former Wake Forest javelin thrower Luke Hadden (200-3) hopes to make an SEC impact after scoring in the ACC. Freshmen Carson Frost (66-0 weight throw) and Kyle Quinn (217-11 javelin throw) appear to be promising student-athletes as well. “Matthew Hoty is obviously a good one,” Clark said. “I look forward to seeing him throw, and I think he can put points on the board for us. At this point, we believe it will be better for Tavis to redshirt.” Benson returns after finishing eighth in the 60m hurdles at the 2011 SEC Indoor meet, and he appeared he was capable of scoring in the 400m hurdles when he was disqualified in the prelims. He has run 8.15 indoors and 14.28 and 52.85 outdoors in the 60m, 100m and 400m hurdles. COACHES & MEET STAFF THE TEAM Men’s Throws Men’s Hurdles SEASON PREVIEW With the injured Hunter being an All-American long jumper and indoor/ outdoor SEC scorer in that event, someone will need to step up and fill his shoes. While junior Desmond Brown hasn’t shown 26-foot range like Hunter, his 25-9 1/4 jump from 2010 was good enough to earn him fifth at the SEC Outdoor meet. He also scored indoors that season and is working with Romain to try and rediscover that form in 2012. Freshman Tyler Anderson, Tennessee’s Gatorade Track & Field Athlete of the Year, comes to campus with a prep best of 24-8 1/4 in the long jump and a 48-7 1/4 PR in the triple jump. impacts Griffin’s first year in charge of the sprinters, and recruiting will be a priority. Still, UT welcomes back seniors Dailey and Tucker, who were members of the seventh-place 4x400m relay units at last season’s SEC meets. Dailey also was a part of the scoring 4x1 unit at the league meet as well. Nelvis (4x4) and Juin (4x1) contributed to scoring units a year ago and should once again be key components, with Nelvis likely to play a bigger role with the 4x1 in Locke’s absence. Hurdler Benson and middle distance guys Franklin and Thompson will be part of the equation Steve Fassino is Tennessee’s top returning running-event scorer with the 4x4, and newcom- from the 2011 SEC Outdoor meet, having finished fifth in the ers Anderson and David 3000m steeplechase for the Big Orange. Hayes should provide assistance on one or both relay tandems. Nelvis is the top returnee individually in the shorter sprints (6.86/10.54/21.12), while Hayes is second on the depth chart in the 100m (10.75) and Anderson is next in the 200m (21.49). In the 400m, Tucker (47.37) and Dailey (47.74) have the best marks of the returnees. Anderson is next at 48.55. 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.

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. 18 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.” COACH CLARK'S YEAR-BY-YEAR PERFORMANCES AT TENNESSEE XC WOMEN’S XC MEN’S XC T&F WOMEN’S T&F WOMEN’S T&F MEN’S T&F MEN’S T&F SEASON SEC/REG/NCAA SEC/REG/NCAA SEASON SEC IN/OUT NCAA IN/OUT SEC IN/OUT NCAA IN/OUT 20023rd/1st/28th ------/------/------ 2003 9th/7th t23rd/t22nd------/------ ------/-----2003 1st/1st/24th------/------/------ 2004 2nd/6th 4th/t7th------/------------/-----2004 1st/1st/21st------/------/------ 2005 1st/3rd 1st/4th ------/------------/-----2005 1st/1st/28th ------/------/------ 2006 t3rd/5th t18th/18th------/------ ------/-----20063rd/3rd/28th ------/------/------ 2007 1st/4th 3rd/t27th------/------ ------/-----20072nd/4th/------ ------/------/------ 2008 2nd/4th t8th/13th------/------ ------/-----20083rd/3rd/------ ------/------/------ 2009 1st/3rd 1st/t10th------/------ ------/-----20092nd/3rd/------ ------/------/------ 2010 4th/7th 2nd/t26th 10th/9th DNS/45th 201012th/18th/---- ------/------/------ 2011 3rd/5th 7th/11th 7th/8th 39th/t64th 2011 7th/13th/------ 5th/12th/------- 2012 10 Seasons 3 SEC/4 South RegionTitles 9 Seasons 3 SEC IndoorTitles 2 NCAA IndoorTitles utsports.com /// utladyvols.com SEASON THE NATIONAL ALL- TENNESSEE PROGRAM ALL-TIME COACHING SCHOOL FACILITIES IN REVIEW SEC CHAMPIONS AMERICANS OLYMPIANSHISTORY ROSTER HISTORY RECORDS & RECORDS 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. COACHES & MEET STAFF 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 Championships. INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE COACHING MEN, WOMEN... SEASON PREVIEW REPRESENTING YOUR COUNTRY... 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 & Field Athlete of the Year in 1998 and 1999, and Becki Wells, a two-time victor in 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. GENERAL INFO. 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. 19 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).

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 Tennessee TRACK & FIELD /// 2012 Media Guide 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.

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.” 72 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.

She competed in both events (discus, shot) very well. “John Frazier did a great job of fine-tuning her and getting her ready. She improved every throw, and I want to congratulate her on doing a great job and also coach Frazier on delivering that.” Tennessee’s 4x400m relay combination of Wortham, Ruff, Octave and Snapp added two more points, winding up seventh in a season-best Michael Spooner was fourth in the 10,000 meters and eighth 3:32.15. 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 GENERAL INFO. 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. 73 2011 SEASON IN REVIEW 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 Community Service Teams by Vol Steve Fassino and Lady Vol Elizabeth Tiller. 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 their historic series with scored at the both league meets in the 800 meters in 2011. 74 Tennessee TRACK & FIELD /// 2012 Media Guide UCLA and the Lady Vols began theirs with the Bruin women, UT’s men got two wins each from Dentarius Locke (100m dash, 200m dash) and Terry Benson (110m hurdles and 400m hurdles) in a 111-50 dual meet loss at UCLA’s Drake Stadium on April 2. Locke tied Willie Gault’s 1983 meet record in the 100-meter dash with a 10.29 readout. T h e Te n n e s s e e women, on the other hand, defeated UCLA, 82-81.

Wortham won the 400m hurdles and assisted in victories in the 4x100m relay and 4x400m relay, while Alexander was the victor in the shot put and discus throw. 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.

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.

Through the years, Tennessee’s men and women have won a combined total of 51 SEC Track & Field Championships J.J. Clark and the 2009 Tennessee Lady Volunteers celebrated their third SEC Indoor title in five seasons. 94 Tennessee TRACK & FIELD /// 2012 Media Guide NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS 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.

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. COACHES & MEET STAFF THE TEAM 1981 AIAW OUTDOOR CHAMPIONS SEASON PREVIEW 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 relay lineup of Champion, Gorham, Hall and Loche. 97 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. 98 Tennessee TRACK & FIELD /// 2012 Media Guide VOL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS GENERAL INFO. 1991 NCAA OUTDOOR CHAMPIONS SEASON PREVIEW COACHES & MEET STAFF THE TEAM 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. utsports.com /// utladyvols.com SEASON THE NATIONAL ALL- TENNESSEE PROGRAM ALL-TIME COACHING SCHOOL FACILITIES IN REVIEW SEC CHAMPIONS AMERICANS OLYMPIANSHISTORY ROSTER HISTORY RECORDS & RECORDS 1974 NCAA OUTDOOR CHAMPIONS 99 LADY VOL NATIONAL CHAMPIONS NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 220y 1969 DGWS Outdoor 25.4 Terry Hull 400m 2004 NCAA Outdoor 50.32 DeeDee Trotter AIAW Outdoor 188-5 Jane Haist 4x200m Medley Relay (800mMR) 1981 AIAW Outdoor 1:36.70 Barksdale/Fitzgerald Rattray/Walton 4x400m Relay (1600mR) 1981 AIAW Outdoor 3:31.70 1982 NCAA Outdoor 3:28.55 1984 NCAA Indoor 3:37.04 1986 NCAA Indoor 3:34.19 1986 NCAA Outdoor 3:29.35 Barksdale/Clark Rattray/Walton Barksdale/Clark Rattray/Walton Bolden/Rattray Barksdale/Oliver McLaughlin/Benjamin Martin/Oliver Benjamin/Oliver Martin/McLaughlin 4x800m Relay (3200mR) 1984 NCAA Indoor 8:40.17 1991 NCAA Indoor 8:36.32 Davidson/Quelch Harvey/Clark Johnson/Jones Olkowski/Wiegand Mile Relay 1983 NCAA Indoor 3:37.08 Barksdale/Clark Rattray/Walton Novak/Trotter Cook/Hyatt Sheffey/Jones Wright/Bowman Wright/Jones Price/Bowman Wright/Wortham Price/Sheffey 440y 1969 DGWS Outdoor 56.4 Terry Hull 500m 1984 1986 NCAA Indoor NCAA Indoor 1:10.82 1:09.68 Cathy Rattray Ilrey Oliver 600m 1981 AIAW Indoor 1:26.56 Delisa Walton 600y 1982 1983 AIAW Indoor NCAA Indoor 1:17.38 1:20.21 Delisa Walton Delisa Walton 800m 1980 1982 1983 1984 2004 2010 2010 AIAW Outdoor NCAA Outdoor NCAA Outdoor NCAA Outdoor NCAA Indoor NCAA Indoor NCAA Outdoor 2:04.88 2:05.22 2:02.28 2:02.60 2:03.27 2:02.55 2:01.40 Delisa Walton Delisa Walton Joetta Clark Joetta Clark Nicole Cook Phoebe Wright Phoebe Wright 880y 1970 1983 DGWS Outdoor NCAA Indoor 2:09.70 2:06.02 Terry Hull Joetta Clark 1000m 1984 NCAA Indoor 2:43.85 Joetta Clark Distance Medley Relay (DMR) 2004 NCAA Indoor 11:06.07 2008 NCAA Indoor 11:01/97 2009 NCAA Indoor 10:50.98 2010 NCAA Indoor 10:58.37 1000y 1982 2:26.70 Joetta Clark DGWS – Division of Girls’ and Women’s Sports, AIAW – Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, NCAA – National Collegiate Athletic Association. 1500m 1979 AIAW Outdoor 1986 NCAA Outdoor 4:17.06 4:17.48 Brenda Webb Alisa Harvey OLYMPIC/WORLD CHAMPIONS Mile 2009 4:29.72 Sarah Bowman 9:15.80 9:09.83 Brenda Webb Patty Wiegand AIAW Indoor NCAA Indoor 3000m 1979 AIAW Outdoor 1991 NCAA Indoor 5000m 1977 AIAW Outdoor 1982 NCAA Outdoor 2011 NCAA Indoor 16:13.90 16:10.41 16:04.16 Brenda Webb Kathy Bryant Jackie Areson 55mH 1987 1988 NCAA Indoor NCAA Indoor 7.57 7.56 LaVonna Martin LaVonna Martin 60yH 1982 AIAW Indoor 7.54 Benita Fitzgerald 100mH 1981 1982 1983 1987 AIAW Outdoor NCAA Outdoor NCAA Outdoor NCAA Outdoor 13.12 13.13 12.84 13.05 Benita Fitzgerald Benita Fitzgerald Benita Fitzgerald LaVonna Martin 22-5.75 22-3 21-10.25 Dedra Davis Tianna Madison Tianna Madison Long Jump 1994 NCAA Outdoor 2005 NCAA Indoor 2005 NCAA Outdoor Shot Put 1982 AIAW Indoor 100 Discus 1977 55-0 Rose Hauch Tennessee TRACK & FIELD /// 2012 Media Guide 4x400m Relay (1600mR) 2004 Olympic Games 3:19.01 DeeDee Trotter Long Jump 2005 IAAF Outdoor 22-7.25 Tianna Madison * These are championships won while the athletes were still Lady Vols.

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. JANGY ADDY J.J.

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.

Tennessee has been a fortunate participant at the historic meet since 1949. 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 Volunteers claim 72 Penn Relays championships to their credit. In the last eighth trips to Philadelphia, the Tennessee men have won a total of eight relay crowns, including three at the 2002 meet, and another sprint medley crown in 2009. This year’s event takes place from April 26-28.

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.

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. 166 Tennessee TRACK & FIELD /// 2012 Media Guide TOM BLACK TRACK AT LAPORTE STADIUM GENERAL INFO. SEASON PREVIEW COACHES & MEET STAFF THE TEAM utsports.com /// utladyvols.com SEASON THE NATIONAL ALL- TENNESSEE PROGRAM ALL-TIME COACHING SCHOOL FACILITIES 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. 167 TOM BLACK TRACK RECORDS WOMEN’S RECORDS MEN’S RECORDS EVENT MARKNAME AFFILIATION DATE 100m 10.96 Evelyn Ashford Medalist TC 6-19-82 200m 22.17 Merlene Ottey L.A.
