Milwaukee Looking To Return To Championship Form
Panthers have finished first or second at 21 of 23 league meets
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women’s track and field team has
been a model of consistency over the last decade-plus, finishing among the
top two in the league an unprecedented 21 times.
In fact, the Panthers have won a league-record five titles indoors, a leaguerecord five crowns outdoors, with 11 runner-up finishes at the remaining 13
league meets since 1997.
One year removed from indoor and outdoor Horizon League championships, Milwaukee is not settling for runner-up. And, this year seems just as
good as any for UWM to add to their trophy case.
The Panthers return all seven individual league champions, which accounted for 12 league crowns in 2008.
Middle Distance
Junior Laura Ring is the lone returner in the middle distance group that
will feature three freshmen. Ring won both the indoor and outdoor 800m
league championships last season after runner-up finishes in both her
freshman year. She ran the third-best times in school history indoors and
outdoors and also competed at the NCAA Mideast Regional.
Freshmen Shannon Brown, Beonca Mitchell and Erika Hanson will round
out the group. Brown is the younger sister of Ring and was a two-time state
qualifier in high school. Mitchell is a native of Milwaukee and won a state
title in the 4x400m relay as a senior, while also qualifying for the state meet
with the 4x800m relay twice. Hanson was a state competitor in the 400m
and posted a sixth-place finish at the Illinois state meet as a junior.
Distance
Sprints
Junior Kelsey Conrad leads the returning sprinters after a pair of league
titles her sophomore year. Also back are junior Stef Ross and sophomore
Angie Kaufmann.
Conrad has claimed all-league honors in the 400m, both indoors and outdoors, in each of her first two seasons. Included in that total is a pair of
league titles and two more runner-up finishes. She is also among the top
five in five sprint events, including the indoor 200m (third) and 400m (second) and the outdoor 100m, 200m, and 400m (all fourth).
Ross has run sparingly for Milwaukee, but has shown what she can do with
what was the ninth-best time in school history in the 60m as a freshman.
Milwaukee has a talent, deep pool of distance runners that made up its
Horizon league runner-up cross country team in the fall. Included in that
group is cross country all-league first-teamers in junior Abbie Zaspel and
senior Danielle Magargee and all-league second-team runner sophomore
Taniya Fisher.
Undoubtedly though, senior Holly Nearman leads the group after a junior
season in which she was named the Horizon League Outdoor Athlete of the
Year. A redshirt senior in track, she broke the school record in the outdoor
5000m twice and went on to take eighth at the NCAA Mideast Regional. Her
regional finish was the highest by any league athlete last season and put
her within one place of a bid to the NCAA Championships. In the league,
she won the indoor 5000m and was runner-up in the 3000, while adding a
runner-up 5000m showing outdoors.
Kaufmann emerged as a strong competitor in the 400m for UWM last season, anchoring the Panthers’ league-champion 4x400m relay. During the
indoor season, she ran the fourth-best 400m time in school history and
finished third in the event at the league meet. Outdoors, in addition to runner-up showings with the 4x100m and 4x400m relays, she took fifth in the
400m.
Zaspel was the team’s top runner at nearly every meet in the fall and was
an all-conference runner for the second-straight season with her fifth-place
finish. She continued to improve throughout her sophomore season, her
first in Milwaukee after transferring from Florida Gulf Coast. Zaspel will look
to build on her strong fall and look to compete near the top of the league.
Freshman Katie Duchow joins the sprinters this season after a prep career
that included a state relay title her junior year. She qualified for state all
three years, competing in the 100m and adding another runner-up relay
finish.
If Magargee’s senior track season goes anything like her cross country season, the league better watch out. Magargee had a breakout fall, becoming
a consistent scorer as the team’s third runner, culminating with a seventhplace finish at the league meet. Fisher is another runner poised for a break-

out season after taking ninth at the league cross country meet and earning
all-league second-team honors.
The Panthers’ depth does not end there, as senior Elizabeth Brothen returns
and three freshmen with a season of college cross country under their belts
join the mix. Kristi Schuette competed at the state cross country meet
twice in high school and was among UWM’s top seven three times in the
fall. Stephanie Walker scored once for Milwaukee, as the third scorer at the
DePaul Open. Angie Tabrizi showed steady improvement through her first
collegiate cross country season.
Hurdles/Multi-Events
Seniors Jenni Saarinen and Kory Olson highlight the hurdles and multievents. Saarinen has won seven career league titles, including three in
multi-events. She has also earned all-league second-team honors four
times. Olson, who has junior eligibility outdoors, had a breakout season in
2008. Indoors, she was second at the league meet in the pentathlon. Then,
outdoors, she collected her first career league title, winning the heptathlon.
She followed that up with a league crown in the javelin.
In school history, Saarinen holds school records in both the indoor pentathlon and outdoor heptathlon, while Olson is second in the pentathlon and
fourth in the heptathlon. Both athletes are also in the top 10 in the 60m
hurdles, with Saarinen also among the top 10 in the 100m hurdles.
Junior Emily Budde added depth in the multi-events last season and posted
the team’s top 100m hurdle time outdoors. At the outdoor league meet, she
took second to Olson in the heptathlon and earned all-league honors.
Corfeld and his staff have added two hurdlers and a multi-event athlete in
the freshmen class. Calanetta Burrows and Shelby Schaal will compete in
the hurdles after standout prep careers. Burrows was runner-up in both the
100m hurdles and 300m hurdles as a senior and posted the state’s 14thbest 300m hurdle time ever. Schaal is also on the state’s all-time list in the
300m hurdles, ranking 22nd. She was also third in the state as a senior.
Laura Hamel was a state qualifier in three different events in high school
and will compete in multi-events in Milwaukee. She tied for ninth in the
high jump at the state meet as a senior, while also qualifying in the 4x200m
relay and triple jump during her career.
Jumps
Milwaukee is flush in the jumps, returning a strong contingent of all-league
honorees and consistent scorers. Headlining the group is senior Beth Zimmerman and the rest of the triple jumpers in juniors Kicha Cary and Reigna
Pierce.
Zimmerman holds the school record in both the indoor and outdoor triple

If those three weren’t enough, Saarinen also figures prominently in each
jumping event. She is the outdoor long jump record holder and is seventh
indoors. The Finland native has also excelled in the high jump, where she
won a league title outdoors last season. In school history, she is second outdoors and third indoors. Saarinen has even found success in the triple jump,
ranking fifth behind the aforementioned trio indoors and 10th outdoors.
Sophomore Chelsea Von Ruden showed improvement as the season progressed both indoors and outdoors last season. At the indoor league meet,
she tied Saarinen as runner-up and captured all-league second team honors. Then, she placed third at the outdoor meet.
This area features just one newcomer in freshman Ashlee Mongoven. Ashlee is the younger sister of junior Quinn Mongoven on the men’s team. Like
Quinn, she will also compete in the high jump.
Pole Vault
Junior Erin Havener enters her third collegiate season perfect in league
competition, winning league titles and breaking league records at both the
indoor and outdoor meets as a freshman and sophomore. She is also the
school record holder outdoors and is second in the event indoors.
Havener is just the latest Panther to excel in the league in pole vault competitions, claiming the last two of seven-straight UWM outdoor pole vault
titles. Indoors, Milwaukee has taken the top spot at six of the last eight
meets.
Joining Havener in the pole vault will be freshman Courtney Fisher. Fisher
was a two-time state qualifier in Illinois during high school. She placed
ninth at the state meet as a junior.
Throws
The Panthers have steadily improved in the throws department in recent
years, with the junior Jamie Woods personifying that improvement. The
thrower from nearby Nicolet High School is the school record holder in the
indoor weight throw as the first female to clear 50 feet in the event. She
also figures prominently in the outdoor events, such as the hammer throw
and discus, where she’s second in both events.
She also continues to work her way up the program’s most established
throwing event in the shot put. Woods sits sixth on the school’s top-10 list
in the event both indoors and outdoors.
Woods will be joined this season by freshman Desiree Metcalf. Metcalf
comes to Milwaukee from Janesville, Wis., where she attended Craig High
School.
Also returning in the hurdles is sophomore Stacey Trczinski. Trczinski dabbled in the multi-events last season, taking fifth in the pentathlon at the
league meet and sixth in the heptathlon, but she will likely focus on the
hurdles this season.
jump, is second in the indoor long jump and is seventh outdoors. In league
competitions, she has earned all-league honors seven times over the two
events, with a pair of league titles. Cary is third in the triple jump indoors
and sixth outdoors, but is also third in the indoor long jump. Pierce, meanwhile, is second to Zimmerman in both triple jump events.

Panthers Look To Continue Horizon League Dominance
Milwaukee has won championships at last 10 league meets
Few teams can boast a streak of success that rivals that of the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee men’s track and field team. The Panther men have
won the last 10 Horizon League indoor and outdoor championships. Overall, they have won 20 league titles since 1997.
To put those numbers into perspective, Milwaukee has won 10 outdoor
championships in the 11 years the Horizon League has held an outdoor
meet. Indoors, the team has won 10 of the last 12.
Head coach Pete Corfeld has built the team’s success around a steady stream
of talented athletes that rise to the top of the league year in, year out. This
season is the epitome of that philosophy, as the Panthers return 12 individual league championships, including nine from juniors, and lose just two
2008 titles in five-time triple jump winner Darren Cole.
Back in 2009 is a strong core of league champions, all-league second team
members and scorers.
and sophomores Jared Foerch and Andrew Manuel are back for their second
seasons after adapting to collegiate running last season.
Yttre redshirted the indoor season and came back to score in fifth place
at the outdoor 400m at the league meet. Foerch competed in the 400m
indoors and the 200m outdoors, qualifying for the finals in both events.
Manuel competed in the 400m at both meets, taking seventh outdoors.
Joining the team in 2009 will be freshmen Zach Sharkey-Ketner, Nick Dalske, Jake Spaciel and Jake Whitewater. Sharkey-Ketner and Dalske were
each dominant hurdlers in their prep careers. Sharley-Ketner is the twotime defending state champ in the 300m hurdles and qualified for state
three times in the 200m. In Minnesota, Dalske ran the state’s second-fastest 300m hurdles time his senior year. Spaciel ran the Wisconsin’s eighthbest 400m time as a senior and Whitewater ran with the state runner-up
4x400m relay and qualified in the 100m as a sophomore.
Distance
Sprints
The Panthers’ depth is most apparent in the sprints, where juniors Tyler
Bucholz and Isaiah Adams have continued the program’s recent history of
dominance in the short events. Bucholz won league titles in the 60m, 200m
and 400m indoors and added outdoor crowns in the 100m and 200m. At
the outdoor meet, he was named the league’s outstanding track performer
and then competed at the NCAA Mideast Regional.
Adams, meanwhile, finished second to Bucholz in the indoor 400m and
outdoor 200m, while blazing to a league title of his own in the outdoor
400m. Both Panthers were the first in school history to run sub-48.00 times
in the 400m at the indoor meet, while Adams broke the school and league
record with his time of 47.73 outdoors.
The pair also held down two positions on the 4x100m and 4x400m relays,
which combined to win all three league titles last season. The 4x100m also
featured senior Adam Schleis and departed letterwinner Lynn Koepke. The
4x400m relay won both the indoor and outdoor league championships
with Adams, Bucholz and senior Patrick Casey. Koepke filled in the fourth
spot indoors and sophomore Corey Yttre did outdoors.
Casey is in his third season with UWM after transferring from UW-Whitewater. He scored in both the 200m and 400m indoors last season and ran in the
100m indoors, but had more success in the 400m hurdles. Meanwhile, Yttre
The Milwaukee distance group enters the 2009 season with another year
of experience and a third-place finish at the league cross country championships under its belt. The experience is a key factor, as the squad boasts
mostly freshmen and juniors and did not have a senior on last year’s team.
Junior Ryan Mleziva picked up all-league second-team honors in cross country last season and had a strong indoor season in 2008. He has emerged as
the leader of the group and led by example on the track with a fifth-place
finish in the 5000m at the league indoor meet. He retained sophomore eligibility outdoors with a redshirt.
Eric Pitt is the lone senior in the distance area and posted the corps’ highest
finish last season, taking third in the 3000m steeplechase. He ran the mile
indoors, finishing eighth.
Rounding out the juniors are Mike Sorenson, Jason Axt and Matt Dreifke.
Sorenson had the strongest track campaign in 2008 with a ninth-place
3000m showing indoors and a seventh-place finish in the 10,000m at the
outdoor meet. Axt is coming off a cross country season where he established himself as a consistent scorer and Dreifke has begun to add depth for
Milwaukee in the 800m and 3000m steeplechase.
As for the freshmen, Dan Uphoff was one of the Panthers’ top-two finishers
at each of the first five meets. He was within seven seconds of the team’s

top spot four times and was its top finisher one. At the league meet, he
missed all-league honors by just one place. Ryan Baumgartner and Chris
Schuenke also proved to be consistent scorers for UWM during cross country
and should be able to contribute as they continue to improve during their
freshmen track campaigns.
Zill enters his junior season as one of the league favorites in the triple jump.
He was runner-up to Cole in both events and ranked second in the league in
each with sizeable advantages over third place. His sophomore year was a
break-out season for him as he added an all-league second-team honor in
the outdoor long jump to his two triple jump awards.
Alex Francis and Thomas Wells are also coming off a season of collegiate
running in the fall and could contribute as the season progresses.
Freshman Whitewater and Dylan Keller join the Panthers in this area after
standout prep careers. Both athletes competed at the Wisconsin state meet
multiple times over the long and triple jump events.
Hurdles
Milwaukee is strong in the hurdle department with the league’s top short
hurdler returning in Schleis. The five-time league hurdle champion is joined
by Casey and junior Josh Zill among the returners.
Schleis has won a pair of league titles in the 60m indoors and the 110m hurdle crown in each of his three seasons. He is also the school-record holder in
both events with a 60m time of 8.10 and a 110m hurdle time of 14.40. Last
season, Schleis also competed at the NCAA Mideast Regional in the 110m
hurdles for the first time.
Zill has shown steady improvement in the shorter hurdle events, cracking
the 15-second barrier in the 110m event for the first time.
The only loss from the hurdles is Justin Bohler, who consistently finished
near the top of the Horizon League in the hurdles, including the program’s
last 400m hurdle championship in 2006.
Casey posted one of the fastest times in the league in the 400m hurdles last
season and should be a factor in the event his senior season.
Drew Feuk could also factor in the hurdles, while also spending time in the
multi-events. Feuk won a Minnesota State title in the 110m hurdles as a
senior and also qualified in the 300m hurdles during his prep career.
Jumps
Despite the loss of Cole, the Panthers remain in good shape in the jumps,
led by Schleis, junior Quinn Mongoven and Zill.
Schleis is the two-time defending indoor long jump champ and has won a
title outdoors. Last season, he set the school indoor long jump record with a
leap of 23-10 3/4. In addition to his league titles, Schleis has been runnerup in the long jump twice and once in the triple jump.
As just a junior, Mongoven is already the two-time defending champion in
both the indoor and outdoor high jump. He is third in school history in the
event, both indoors and outdoors, and has added the long jump and triple
jump to his repertoire. Last season, he took second in the long jump.

Pole Vaults
Senior Adam Podd is the only Panther back in the pole vault, but he will
have added depth in freshmen Garrett Vetesnik and Ben Crogan. Podd is
entering his final season and was runner-up at the league meet in the pole
vault at both the indoor and outdoor meets in 2007.
Vetesnik won a state title in the pole vault as a junior before tying for first
his senior season. He was a three-year state qualifier and his personal-best
height of 15-7 is sixth in state history. Crogan is 30th in state history with a
height of 15-0 and was a two-time state qualifier in the event.
Throws
With the graduation of Larry Ehrhorn, the Panthers do not return a thrower
with collegiate experience. Matt Jensen and Nate Dodson will compete this
season for Milwaukee after redshirting the 2008 indoor and outdoor seasons. The redshirt freshmen will be joined by true freshman Ryan Bader.
Jensen won a Wisconsin state title in the discus as a senior in 2007 after a
third-place finish as a junior. He also set a school record in the event and
had the 23rd-best throw in state history. Dodson was an Illinois 2A state
qualifier in the shot put, while also qualifying for the AAU Junior Olympics
in the shot put and discus.
Bader placed sixth at the state meet in the discus throw in each of his final
three years of high school. As a senior, he had the fourth-best discus throw
in the state (179-5) and ranked 44th in state history.
Multi-Events
Departed letterwinner Justin Bohler competed in a number of events for
UWM, but left probably his biggest void in the multi-events, where he was
a school-record holder in the decathlon. The Janesville native helped the
Panthers in a number of events, including the multi-events. His eight allleague second-team awards is second in school history, while he graduated
as one of just seven UWM men with 10 all-league awards.
A pair of freshmen will have the opportunity to pick up where he left off
this season in Ben Crogan and Drew Feuk. Crogan had most of his success
in jumps in high school, qualifying for the state meet in both the pole vault
and high jump. His best pole vault of 15-0 is 30th in state history. Feuk,
meanwhile, excelled in hurdles in high school and won a state title in the
110m hurdles.
Corfeld has brought in a pair of talented freshmen in Sharkey-Ketner and
Dalske. As previously mentioned, Sharkey-Ketner won state titles in the
300m hurdles as both a junior and senior while also posting the state’s best
times in each event. His personal-best time of 37.85 is also sixth in state
history.

Pete Corfeld
Head Coach • 20th Year • Milwaukee, 1986
Cross Country, Distance, Middle Distance, Throws
In his 20th season as the head men’s and women’s cross country and track
& field coach, Pete Corfeld continues to make his mark as one of the most
successful coaches the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has ever seen.
“Pete has done a tremendous job of building
his program so that it is at the top of the
Horizon League year in and year out,” UWM
athletics director Bud Haidet said. “He’s our
longest-tenured coach and we are fortunate
to keep him and see his program continue to
succeed.”
Corfeld has guided his teams to 30 league
indoor and outdoor track championships and three cross country crowns.
His 33 league titles are by far more than any other coach in school history.
Last season, the Panther men claimed league titles at both the indoor and
outdoor meets for the fifth-straight year.
In 2007, the Panthers won men’s and women’s Horizon League championships at both the indoor and outdoor meets. The sweep was just the second
by any league school in history. The first team to accomplish the feat was
Milwaukee in 2001.
Individually, six athletes were recognized as outstanding performer or
NCAA Qualifiers Under Corfeld
UWM has had a rich history of producing NCAA Qualifiers during the
tenure of coach Pete Corfeld. The Panthers have had seven NCAA Qualifiers
and one U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier under Corfeld’s instruction.

while the program accumulated 35 individual
championships over the
two meets.
The 2007 success did not
end at the league meet,
as a school record eight
athletes competed at the
NCAA Mideast Regional.
Nick Gretz qualified for
the NCAA Championships
and Amber Curtis finished
sixth in the discus, making herself eligible for the
NCAA Championships. The throwers performances netted UWM points at the
regional meet for the first time.
Last season’s titles marked the ninth and 10th-straight for the Milwaukee
men, while the sweep was its eighth since 1998. All told, the men’s program
has won 20 of the last 23 league meets. That stretch includes 10 of the 11
outdoor championships the league has sponsored.
While the men have found unparalleled success, the women have not been
far behind. In fact, over the last 23 league meets dating back to 1997, Milwaukee has failed to secure a top-two finish just once. That string includes
10 league championships.
Both teams have been dominant in their success as four times a Panther team
has won a league meet by over 100 points. The program holds league records
on both the men’s and women’s sides for points in an outdoor championship
and margin of victory. In 2003, UWM won the women’s title with 252 points,
171 ahead of second place. Two years later, it was the men that tallied 231
points, pacing second place by 120.
Corfeld has been recognized for his success many time over, garnering League
Coach of the Year honors 33 times in his career. He has coached seven league
athletes of the year and 54 outstanding performer and newcomer of the
year recipients. Tenia Fisher (2003-06) was just the second athlete in league
history, in any sport, to be recognized as athlete of the year three times in
one sport (indoor track).

men’s league individual champions while rarely finishing below fourth.
Corfeld, the longest-tenured coach currently at UWM, has built well-respected
track and field and cross country teams that consistently compete with other
schools across the league, region and country.
Corfeld works primarily with the middle distance and distance groups in
addition to the cross country squads. UWM had the 10th-fastest 4x800m
relay in the country in 2005, with the quartet posting a school-record time
of 7:26.17.
Corfeld’s cross country program has produced 53 all-league performers since
the Panthers entered a conference for the 1992 season. He has also coached
two individual champions and two newcomer of the year honorees.
In the fall, the Milwaukee women took second place at the league championship and had four runners earn all-league honors for the second-straight year.
Last season, three of those all-league awards were first-team honors. The
second-place finishes are the team’s best since joining the Horizon League.
In 2007, all-league first-teamer Holly Nearman took 12th at the NCAA Great
Lakes Regional for all-region honors. It was the highest finish at a Division I regional by a Panther ever. He was also named league coach of the year, the first
time in league history the award went to the second-place team coach.
Under his direction, seven different student-athletes have qualified for the
NCAA Championships. In addition to Gretz, Tim Kenney, Cory Peterson and
Angie Molter all competed at the NCAA Track and Field Championships, while
Chad Zehms was a qualifier in the NCAA Cross Country Championships in 1995.
Peterson would later make two more appearances in the NCAA Championships, along with qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Trials in the 800m run in 1996
and placing third in the 800m at the USATF Indoor Championships. Molter
was the first UWM female to compete in the NCAA Division I Championships,
running the 10,000m in 1996.
Corfeld’s athletes have also excelled off the track, as Josh Nygren earned
the Horizon League’s prestigious Coleman Medal of Honor in 2006. He was
the program’s third recipient of the honor after Paul McGinley in 2000 and
Jonathon Manke in 2002.
Corfeld’s coaching career began at St. Mary’s Academy in 1980. Three years
later he became the head track and field coach at Milwaukee Area Technical
College. At MATC, he was named Region XIII and conference coach of the year
three times. Corfeld graduated from UWM in 1986 with a bachelor’s degree
in science. He was then named assistant coach for sprints, hurdles and relays
at Northern Colorado, where he also worked on a master’s degree. In 1989,
after completing his degree, he was named the head cross country and track
and field coach at UWM. Since taking over the Panther track program, Corfeld
has helped to elevate UWM to a regional and national program.
Corfeld and his wife, Linda, reside in Whitefish Bay, Wis.

Jason Francis
Nate Weiland
Associate Head Coach • Fifth Year • Indiana State, 2001
Sprints, Hurdles, Pole Vault, Jumps, Multi-Events
Assistant Coach • Third Year • Milwaukee, 2007
Distance, Cross Country
Jason Francis is in his second season as associate head coach with the Panthers
after serving three seasons as an assistant coach. Francis works with the
sprints, hurdles, jumps, pole vault and multi-events. He also oversees the
program’s recruiting efforts, strength and conditioning program and assists
in monitoring academic progress.
Nate Weiland is in his second season as an assistant with the Panther track
and cross country programs after joining the staff in 2007 as a volunteer
assistant. He assists head coach Pete Corfeld with the distance runners and
cross country teams.
“We are pleased to have Jason in our program,”
Corfeld said. “He is a track guy, so he really
knows his stuff. With his multi-event background, he has knowledge in all areas of track
and field, especially the pole vault.”
Francis has coached 84 individual league
champions since coming to Milwaukee. Three
Panthers have also achieved NCAA provisional marks and seven have had
NCAA regional marks. Also, 38 school records in his events have fallen over
his first four seasons.
That success has carried over into team championships, as he has helped the
Panther men to indoor and outdoor Horizon League Championships in each
of his four seasons. The women, meanwhile, won the back-to-back indoor
titles in 2006-07 and added an outdoor championship in 2007.
A 2001 graduate of Indiana State University, Francis spent the 2003-04 season as
a volunteer assistant pole vault coach at
Lewis University in Romeoville, Ill.
Assistant Coaches
In his only season with the Flyers, Francis
produced both the indoor and outdoor
Division II National Champion and two
more All-Americans in the event at both
meets. He joined the Lewis staff upon
completion of his masters degree in exercise science from Indiana State in
2003. In 2002-03 Francis volunteered with the Sycamore track team, coaching
five athletes to top-six finishes at the league meet in the pole vault.
Francis’ affiliation with Indiana State began as a student-athlete, as he
competed in the pole vault and decathlon. Four times he was named to the
all-conference team, including in 2001, when he won the outdoor conference championship in the decathlon. A Downers Grove, Ill., native, Francis
began at DuPage Junior College after a standout prep career at Downers
Grove North High School.
Francis is USATF Level II certified in jumps, sprints, hurdles and relays, combined events and throws.
“As a former athlete that has gone through the
program, Nate is able to enlighten the younger
athletes on its nuances,” Corfeld said. “He is still
training at a high level and the example he sets
is a great motivator for the team.”
In each of the last two seasons, the Panther
women have taken second at the Horizon
League Cross Country Championships. Eight
runners have earned all-league honors in that time, including four first-team
honors and three in 2008 alone. On the men’s side, UWM improved from an
eighth-place finish in 2007 to take third place.
And, in each of his first two seasons,
UWM has shown well at the NCAA
Great Lakes Regional. The squad posted
the program’s second-best Division I
regional finish ever in 2006 when it
took 14th. Then in 2007, Holly Nearman
was the highest-finishing women in
the program’s Division I history, taking
12th.
Weiland joined the coaching staff after
four years as a member of Milwaukee’s distance and cross country corps.
In his career, Weiland established himself as a consistent performer, earning
all-league second team honors in cross country during his final two seasons.
As a senior, he took 38th at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional, the third-best
regional finish in team history and second only to UWM Hall of Famer Chad
Zehms. On the track, the Middleton, Wis., native is among the school’s all-time
leaders in the indoor 3000m and 5000m and the outdoor 10,000m. His 10k
time of 30:57.60 is fourth in school history.
Weiland continues to compete, winning the 2008 Al’s Run in Milwaukee
after being runner-up in 2007. He also competed at the Boston Marathon
last spring, taking 288th with a time of 2:45:11. He also owns finishes of 23rd
overall at the Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth, Minn., in 2007, 23rd (50:50) at
the Metronix USATF 10-Mile Championships in conjunction with the Minneapolis Marathon and seventh at the Philadelphia Half Marathon (1:08.48).
Weiland graduated from Milwaukee in 2007 with a degree in exercise and
fitness.

posted runner-up finishes at the West Regional
three times, taking third once. Individually, he
posted the fourth-best indoor 400m time in school
history of 47.50.
She capped her career by winning each league

degree in sociology in her final season.
Last fall, she helped the Panthers to their secondstraight runner-up finish, while falling just eight
points shy of a league title. She was an all-league
honoree for the second-straight season, earning a
first-team nod with a sixth-place finish.
Magargee was an all-league second-teamer with
the track and field team in the distance medley
relay, while helping Milwaukee to three team
league titles and five runner-up finishes.

All-Americans
Milwaukee has a rich history of All-Americans from the origins of the program. Our records prior to our jump to Division I in 1990 are incomplete. On these
pages is the most comprehensive list of Panther All-Americans compiled, dating back to 1981. Corrections and additions to this list are welcome in the UWM
Sports Information office and can be directed to Assistant Sports Information Director Kevin Conway at [email protected]. We will look to provide a complete list on our website, www.uwmpanthers.com, and in future editions of the Milwaukee Track & Field Media Guide.

WWIAC Indoor Championships
Wisconsin Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference
Like a majority of the schools in the University
of Wisconsin System, Milwaukee spent time in
the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC).
The University began competition in the Wisconsin Normal Conference in 1913, with records
indicating the men’s team had won the inaugural track & field championships in 1915.
The conference, as well as member institutions
underwent multiple name changes, eventually
becoming the Wisconsin State University Conference (WSUC). UWM left the WSUC in 1964.
Records indicate the Milwaukee women competed in the Women’s WIAC (WWIAC) from
1976 until 1984. The conference instituted an
indoor league meet beginning in 1977.
In 1997, the WSUC and WWIAC merged to form
the co-ed WIAC.

Klotsche Center/Fieldhouse Records
The J. Martin Klotsche Center is the home to the
majority of Panther athletic teams, including both
track and field teams.
In 2003, UWM played host to the league indoor
championship meet for the second time. It had
claimed both the men’s and women’s league titles
when the facility first hosted the meet in 1999.
The Klotsche Center is used as a practice facility for
most of UWM’s varsity sports, and serves as the
homecourt for volleyball and women’s basketball.
A four-lane indoor track, added in 1996, is home
to the UWM men’s and women’s track and field
teams, and the Klotsche Center pool, located on
the lower level, is home to the UWM swimming
and diving teams.
It also houses training facilities, weight facilities
and more, all within close proximity of the main
practice areas.
The Klotsche Center was originally erected in 1977
and a major addition to the facility - named The
Pavilion - was completed in early 2006. The $45
million project added new office space, weight
rooms, locker rooms, team rooms and a practice
and intramural gymnasium with an upper-level
running track. The project also included renovations to the existing Klotsche Center, including
air conditioning, a new sound system and new
concession stands for the arena.
The Klotsche Center is also home to UWM’s intramural program and recreation center. It features a
25-meter pool, racquetball courts, weight rooms,
training rooms and classrooms for instructional
use, along with upstairs office space and additional storage areas. Renovation work was done
recently on many of these areas.
Milwaukee annually hosts a number of meets at
the Klotsche Center, including the UWM Panther
Tune Up during the indoor regular season. The
track teams also host a handful of developmental
meets each year. These developmental meets,
which are open to all local competitors, allow a
number of Panthers the opportunity to compete
before the indoor season begins in mid-January.
The arena area was first renovated prior to the
1998-99 school year. The $2 million project
included the addition of comfort and chairback
seating. In 1996, new wood flooring and a new
indoor track were added to the Klotsche Center.
The floor has also been renovated with the addition of the Horizon League logo. Last summer,
the floor received a makeover with a brand new
Panther logo and the addition of the men’s extended three-point line.
59
The Klotsche Center can hold as many as 5,000
spectators for a sporting event, and the volleyball
capacity is approximately 2,000. Track and field
events feature trackside seating in addition to
team areas in the center of the racing oval. The
largest crowd to ever see a sporting event at the
Klotsche Center is 5,015, present when the UWM
men’s basketball team faced Butler in 2003. The
volleyball attendance record of 1,102 was set in
2006 when UWM hosted No. 11 Wisconsin.
UWM’s freshman convocation is annually held at
the Klotsche Center in addition to other special
events. During the summer of 2001, the Yugoslavian National played an exhibition here in
preparations for the World Championships where
it won the gold medal. President George W. Bush
also made an appearance at the Klotsche Center
in August of 2002.
The Klotsche Center has been home to a number
of major sporting events, including the 2003 and
2006 Horizon League Women’s Basketball Tournaments, the 2001 league volleyball tournament and
the 2001 WIAA Boys’and Girls’Sectional Basketball
Championships.

City of Milwaukee
Milwaukee, The Genuine American City, is steeped in tradition and history,
alive in growth and development. From the sparkling clean water of Lake
Michigan, to the rich heritage of our ethnic neighborhoods, Milwaukee invites you to discover its unique, diverse community.
Heralded as “The City of Festivals,” Milwaukee hosts more than 15 annual
festivals, including the world’s largest music festival, Summerfest, and over
a dozen ethnic festivals all held along Milwaukee’s spectacular lakefront.
The Historic Third Ward is quickly becoming the “off-Broadway” of Milwaukee’s arts scene. It is home to the new Broadway Theatre Center as
well as another, smaller, experimental theatre. In addition, this restored
warehouse district features a number of art galleries, the well-regarded
Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, coffee houses, cafes, and antique
stores. An abundance of new housing in the form of loft-style apartments
and condominiums are also becoming a part of the landscape in the Historic
Third Ward.
The RiverWalk, which meanders through the heart of downtown, recently
received a $13 million facelift, and development continues to the north and
south. Fine food, cultural venues, eclectic shops, exciting nightlife and a
wide array of distinctive sports bars are located along the RiverWalk. Also
prevalent along the RiverWalk are many brewpubs and microbreweries.
Gondolas and water taxies frequently travel Milwaukee’s scenic RiverWalk
area.
Milwaukee’s museum scene is also active. The Milwaukee Art Museum
has wrapped up a $100 million expansion featuring a dramatic wing-like
sculpture rising high above Milwaukee’s lakefront. The Milwaukee Public
Museum is in the midst of a $6.5 million project establishing a permanent
interpretation of “Butterflies Alive!,” the museum’s most successful exhibit
ever. The Milwaukee County Zoo is well-known as one of the finest in the
nation.

City of Milwaukee
Milwaukee also loves its sports. The city put its stamp on Major League
Baseball with the arrival of Miller Park in the spring of 2001. The $400 million, one-of-a-kind ballpark features a convertible roof and natural grass.
Offering the finest in ballpark amenities, Miller Park is a park within a park
- that is, it includes places to tailgate along the Menomonee River, a sportsthemed restaurant, and an elegantly finished restaurant, the .300 Club.
Miller Park also played host the Major League All-Star Game in 2002.
Two of the city’s other professional sports teams, including the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks, play at the downtown Bradley Center. In addition, the U.S.
Cellular Arena downtown is now the home of the UWM men’s basketball
team, as well as the Milwaukee Wave of the Major Indoor Soccer League.
The arena has undergone major renovations and also hosts a number of
concerts and other special events.
The Milwaukee Mile, an auto racing track located at State Fair Park, is home
to a NASCAR Busch Series and an Indy Racing League event, added just this
year. Plus, the sports landscape also includes an annual PGA event and one
of the best county park systems in the nation.
63
Milwaukee is also a tourist and business destination for travelers around the
state and nation. The Midwest Express Center downtown serves as the city’s
main convention center, and draws groups from around the world to host
their annual activities in Milwaukee.
Milwaukee is also easy to get to, located at the intersections of interstates
94 and 43. Milwaukee’s General Mitchell International Airport has nearly 20
airlines and over 500 daily departures and arrivals, and Amtrak runs daily
non-stop trains to Chicago.

carlos SANTIAGO
University Administration
Chancellor
Carlos E. Santiago is beginning his fifth academic year as the Chancellor of the University
of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Santiago is UWM’s seventh Chancellor. In this
position, he is the chief administrative officer
of the university and a partner with a great
number of constituents on and off campus.
Chancellor Santiago also holds the academic
rank of Professor of Economics at UWM. As a labor economist, he has regional
expertise in the Caribbean and Central America, with special emphasis on
Puerto Rico.
Cooperation and collaboration to strengthen UW-Milwaukee’s research
portfolio, academic excellence and diversity have been the highest priorities
of Chancellor Santiago since his arrival on July 1, 2004. Among the primary
results that UWM has achieved during his tenure:
• Securing a historic reinvestment by the State of Wisconsin in the university’s
and Southeastern Wisconsin’s future, especially in the targeted areas of
advanced automation, biomedical engineering, health care and freshwater
science.
• Completing the record-setting Campaign for UWM, the most ambitious
fund-raising effort in university history.
• Developing Access to Success, the campus blueprint to enhance access to
higher education while promoting greater success for all students.
• Initiating a master planning process to create a template for regional growth
away from the university’s extremely compressed primary campus.
• Creating the UWM Research Foundation to support research and innovation,
and the UWM Real Estate Foundation to partner with the public and private
sectors to develop and hold real estate for the university’s benefit.
Santiago also has a strong background in working with athletics.
With the University at Albany, State University of New York, where he held
the position of Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Santiago
was a member of its National Collegiate Athletic Association Certification
Steering Committee, worked closely with the athletics department on
academics and admissions-related issues, and was involved with the New
York Giants annual National Football League summer training camp held at
the University at Albany.
“Universities must focus on creating the scholar-athlete,” Chancellor Santiago
said. “Winning is nice, but first and foremost you must focus on the academics.
UWM’s consistent performance -- in both winning championships and placing
leading numbers of students on the Horizon League’s Academic Honor Roll
-- demonstrates our commitment to both of these objectives.”
Dr. Santiago is the author or co-author of five books focusing on labor and
economic development issues, with the latest being “Puerto Ricans in the
United States: A Contemporary Portrait,”co-authored with Edna Acosta-Belén.
He has co-edited another book and has published more than 30 articles and
book reviews in a wide variety of scholarly journals.
Along with Dr. Acosta-Belén, Dr. Santiago also is a founding co-editor of the
Latino Research Review and was a member of the U.S. Congressional Hispanic
Caucus International Relations Advisory Group.
Dr. Santiago’s wife, Azara Santiago-Rivera, is also part of the faculty at
UWM. She is an associate professor of educational psychology in the School
of Education.
Chancellor Santiago has a Ph.D. in economics from Cornell University (‘82) and
M.A. degrees in economics from Cornell University (‘79) and the University
of Puerto Rico (‘75).
Like most other boys growing up in Puerto Rico, Dr. Santiago played baseball
year-round and aspired to follow national heroes Roberto Clemente and
Orlando Cepeda to Major League Baseball. Dr. Santiago played third base
throughout high school and earned a place on his division’s all-star team.
In recent years, his sporting interests have included golf, tennis, downhill
skiing, walking and jogging. He also helped coach softball teams for his
daughters.

bud HAIDET
Athletics Director
After more than 20 years of stellar service as
the Director of Athletics at the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Bud Haidet will retire
at the end of this school year.
The department has experienced unprecedented success on and off the playing surface
under Haidet. In 2007-08, UWM won the Horizon League’s Women’s All-Sports Trophy for a
seventh time while seeing teams in women’s
soccer, women’s volleyball and men’s indoor
and outdoor track and field win league crowns.
This continued a long line of success for Milwaukee athletics under Haidet.
In 2006-07, the women’s soccer team advanced to the second round of the
NCAA Tournament for a second-straight year, while in 2005-06, UWM won
the McCafferty Trophy, the Horizon League’s All-Sports Trophy, for the fourth
time. UWM won 10 league titles that school year and claimed a third-straight
regular season league title in men’s basketball.
The biggest highlight of the 2005-06 campaign came after the Horizon
League basketball season was completed. The Panther men again made
their mark in the NCAA Tournament, beating Big 12 power Oklahoma before
falling to eventual national champion Florida. At the same time, the Panther
women were battling with Michigan State in the NCAA Tournament, only to
fall in the contest. Those basketball accomplishments came on the heels of
a 2005 postseason run that saw the Panther men advance to the Sweet 16
and garner national recognition.
Basketball is far from the only sport where UWM has experienced tremendous
success. In fact, both the men’s and women’s soccer teams advanced to the
second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2005. The men knocked off Bradley
before falling in overtime to national runner-up New Mexico, while the
women beat Purdue before falling to Marquette on a last-second goal.
The success at UWM actually started long ago. UWM finished second in the
McCafferty Trophy standings during the 1997-98 school year and during
the 1999-2000 school year. In fact, following the 1999-2000 season, UWM
finished just one point out of first place and won the MCC men’s all-sports
championship. The Panthers then won the league’s all-sports trophy for the
first time after the 2000-01 season, and then won it again after the 2003-04
campaign.
Many of UWM’s teams have also gained national recognition under Haidet.
The great success of the men’s basketball team also includes an NCAA berth
in 2003 and a National Invitation Tournament appearance in 2004. The men’s
soccer team has qualified for five of the last seven NCAA Tournaments and
has been ranked as high as eighth in the nation.
The women’s volleyball team has qualified for six of the last 10 NCAA Tournaments. The women’s basketball team also made the NCAA Tournament in
2001 and 2006, the women’s soccer team has been in the tournament four
out of the last seven years and the baseball team has also been a regular in
the NCAA Tournament.
In the classroom, 70 UWM student-athletes were named to the Horizon
Academic Honor Roll in June, giving UWM the highest number per sport offered in the league. Numerous Panthers have also won league and national
academic awards, including three student-athletes earning Academic AllAmerica honors in 2006-07. And, the current cumulative grade point average
of all student-athletes is above 3.0.
Haidet has also directed an upgrade in facilities for all of UWM athletics. The
recently-completed Klotsche Center renovation - the Pavilion - has vastly
improved the office and training space for the athletic department and its
student-athletes. Haidet has also led the extremely successful move by the
men’s basketball team to the U.S. Cellular Arena in downtown Milwaukee
and shown the way for improvements at Henry Aaron Field and Engelmann
Field, which had lights installed for play in 2006.
Over Haidet’s tenure, athletics at UWM has moved from NAIA Division II to
NCAA Division I status, and from independent status to membership in two
athletic conferences. Haidet notes that the strong commitment to athletics
by the institution and student association has greatly contributed to the rapid
and successful growth of the program. He also feels past student-athletes,
coaches and administrators helped set in motion the success UWM enjoys.
Haidet is active in numerous NCAA activities. He has completed Level I-III
NCAA Athletics Management courses and was a member of two NCAA Division
I Peer Review Certification teams and two NCAA committees. He was also
recently the chair of the Horizon League’s Executive Council and is active in
all of the league’s activities.
Prior to coming to UWM, Haidet was an athletics administrator at Miami
University in Oxford, Ohio, where he earned both his bachelor’s and master’s
degrees. He was inducted into the Miami Athletics Hall of Fame in 2005.
A former captain in the Marine Corps, Haidet enjoys weight training, hiking
and fishing, and spending time with his wife, Beth, stepson, Drew, four
children and 13 grandchildren.

UWM ATHLETICS - A WINNING WAY
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has moved
itself into a prominent position both regionally and nationally in the world of intercollegiate
athletics.
MEN’S SOCCER
1979 First Round • 1980 First Round
2002 Second Round • 2003 Second Round
2004 Second Round • 2005 Second Round
In fact, UWM has consistently shown it is the
top athletic program in the Horizon League. The
school has won the league’s McCafferty Trophy four
times in the last eight years, including a stretch of
three-straight victories from 2003-04 to 2005-06.
UWM has also won the women’s all-sports awards
seven times and the men’s all-sports award three
times.
The 2007-08 school year was another banner one
for Panther sports. In the fall, UWM’s volleyball
and women’s soccer teams each claimed Horizon
League regular season titles. Then, later in the
year, the men’s track and field team captured both
the indoor and outdoor league titles, bringing to
30 the number of team track league titles UWM
has won since 1998. Plus, the women’s track
and field team finished second both indoor and
outdoor while the baseball team advanced all
the way to the title game of the league baseball
tournament.
But the 2007-08 season was far from the first successful one for Panther athletics. In 2006-07, UWM
teams won seven league titles while a number
of individuals also claimed league crowns. The
success started in the fall as both the women’s
soccer and women’s volleyball teams won the
league regular season crown, with the volleyball
squad also capturing the league tourney title. Both
teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament, where
the women’s soccer team moved to the second
round for the second-straight season. UWM also
swept the track and field titles, with both the
men and the women claiming indoor and outdoor
championships.
In 2005-06, UWM saw both of its soccer teams
win league titles and advance to the second
round of the NCAA Tournament, while the men’s
and women’s basketball teams also played in the
NCAA Tourney. The men again caught the eyes
of the nation with a win over Oklahoma in the
first round before being eliminated by eventual
national champion Florida in the second round.

The men’s basketball team also helped put UWM
athletics on the national map in 2004-05. UWM
pulled off upset wins over Alabama and Boston
College to advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA
Tournament. The Panthers were eventually eliminated from the tournament by national runner-up
Illinois, but UWM had already captured the hearts
and minds of the nation’s college basketball fans.
You have to go even further back to find the true
start of the great run of success at UWM. In the
2002-03 season, UWM won five league titles and
sent four teams to NCAA Tourmament play. The
Panther men’s soccer team was ranked as high
as eighth in the nation and the men’s basketball
team made its first NCAA Tournament appearance.
UWM’s first McCafferty Trophy came after the
Panthers won nine league titles in the 2000-01
school year.
UWM student-athletes have also become known
for their work in the classroom. This past spring,
70 student-athletes were named to the Horizon
League Academic Honor Roll. UWM studentathletes also regularly appear on the league’s
academic all-league teams and the cumulative
grade-point average for the athletic department

The project also included a renovation of the
5,000-seat Klotsche Center, which is home to
the women’s volleyball, women’s basketball and
track and field teams. The facility now has air
conditioning and a new sound system, as well as
two new concession stands. Plus, with it standing adjacent to the new Pavilion, fans attending
events can park in the Pavilion’s new parking
garage and attend events without ever stepping

Meanwhile, UWM’s other recent facility improvements have come at the soccer and baseball
fields. On-campus Engelmann Field, home of the
Panther soccer teams, is reknowned to be one of
the best collegiate soccer facilities in the country.
Lights were been added to the field last summer,
and a new team room has also been developed.
The baseball team plays at Henry Aaron Field and
also plays a doubleheader annually at Miller Park.

sports records date back to the late 1800’s and
UWM fielded a football team until 1974. UWM
has played on all levels of NCAA competition,
including stints as a Division II and Division III
institution along with its current run in Division
I. UWM athletics also spent some years in NAIA
competition. The school’s athletic teams have also
competed in the Wisconsin state school league for
a number of years, while competing in the MidContinent Conference and Midwestern Collegiate
Conference/Horizon League since moving all of its
varsity sports to Division I in the fall of 1990.

and now houses all of the athletics offices, as well
as new locker rooms, team rooms, training rooms,

The Pavilion
This is UWM
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s newest on-campus building is
the Pavilion, which is the home of UWM Athletics. The Pavilion officially
opened its doors to the public in January of 2006, though some work on
the structure and the adjacent grounds continued throughout the year.
The building was officially dedicated by Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle and
UWM Chancellor Carlos Santiago on May 2, 2006.
73
Among the new athletics facilities in the building are offices for coaches and
staff, a student-athlete-only weight room, new locker rooms for all teams
and team rooms and lounges for men’s basketball, women’s basketball and
women’s volleyball.
UWM student-athletes are also benefitting from the brand-new sports
medicine center in the Pavilion, which more than triples the previous space
available for UWM’s athletic trainers. The facility also includes a 2,800square-foot academic assistance center to help student-athletes in the
classroom. The new academic center includes a computer lab along with
group and individual study and tutoring rooms. A 618-space indoor parking
garage is also part of the facility.
“Success leaves clues, and with our entire athletic program ranking as the
most successful in the league year after year, we now have something that
really proves that,” UWM men’s basketball head coach Rob Jeter said. “The
Pavilion is a great place, not just for our team to train but for our players to
have the academic assistance center and resources right here. Our athletic
training facility is outstanding – it is on par with places like Wisconsin and
Marquette that I have been previously. The locker rooms, the team rooms,
the weight room – this is a big-time college atmosphere now. It has all the
right pieces to make this an even more successful athletic program.”
UWM’s general student population is also benefitting tremendously from
the new facility. A new fitness center has expansive rooms for cardio workouts, as well as a weight room. The state-of-the-art area is the most visible from the outside of the facility, as it features two levels of windows.
The new recreation center has two expansive levels and houses four sport
courts surrounded by a suspended 1/8 mile track. The facility is utilized by
individuals seeking open gym space, run and walk space on the track, and
the University’s intramural programs. The building also includes academic
facilities for the College of Health Sciences along with accommodations for
the new Physical Therapy and expanded Sports Medicine programs.
The $40 million project, which broke ground in June of 2003, came in below budget. Half of the funding is coming from UWM parking fees, while
the other half is from state funds and student segregated fees. The athletic
department has also undertaken a variety of fundraising efforts for even
greater enhancements within its space in the facility. The most distinctive
feature of the 135,000-gross-square-foot Pavilion is the extensive use of
glass “walls,” creating a feeling of openness and allowing expansive views
of nearby Downer Woods and the campus.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Athletic Department is committed
to enhancing the opportunities of academic, athletic and personal success
of every student-athlete. As part of UWM’s commitment, a partnership has
been created between the academic and athletic communities on campus to
give all student-athletes an opportunity to achieve academic success.
UWM has had a full-time athletic academic advisor since 1998, and recently
added a second staff member dedicated to academics, reinforcing its commitment to its student-athletes’academic success. All new student-athletes meet
with their advisor on an individual basis to assess specific needs. Programs
for academic advancement are developed, including monitoring courses,
grades and academic progress.
UWM’s commitment has paid off. The Panthers have regularly had more student-athletes on the Horizon League Honor Roll than any other league school,
and the department’s cumulative grade-point average is better-than-3.0.
The Academic Assistance Center, located in the new Pavilion, provides
student-athletes with a quiet place to study, as well as one-on-one tutoring opportunities. The academic center also houses a full computer lab and
numerous tutoring rooms, and provides a closely-monitored atmosphere for
studying and academic progress.

advisors provide ongoing assistance with class scheduling and career
planning. Progress reports from the professors of each student-athlete are
sought periodically throughout the year, and academic progress is monitored
regularly.
• TUTORS
Individuals and group tutors are available in all subjects to student-athletes
upon request. The new Pavilion has private tutoring and study rooms for
student-athletes.
• STRUCTURED STUDY
All freshmen are required to attend study table for eight hours per week.
Students meet Monday through Thursday for two hours per night and are
monitored by a member of the coaching staff. Upperclassmen with a cumulative grade point average of less than 3.0 are also required to attend, however
their hours are pro-rated based on their GPA.
• POST-GRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES
UWM boasts a 95 percent job placement rate through the on-campus Career
Development Center. Approximately 200 employers interview on-campus
each year. Workshops are offered to assist student-athletes in planning their
career paths. Numerous internships and job opportunities are available in the
metro Milwaukee area, the business and economic center of Wisconsin.
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is a member of the NCAA
CHAMPS/Life Skills Program. The mission of the NCAA and the University
of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is to maintain intercollegiate athletics as an
integral part of the campus educational program and the student-athlete
as an integral part of the student body. With this in mind, the UWM
program, “SUCCESS,”was created to support student-athlete development
and to enhance the quality of the student-athlete experience within the
university setting.
Student-Athletes
United for
Commitment to Excellence
Challenges
Education
Service to Community and
Skills for Life
The life skills program includes five major commitments:
• COMMITMENT TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE – to support the academic progress of the student-athlete toward intellectual development
and graduation.
• COMMITMENT TO ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE – to build philosophical
foundations for the development of athletic programs that are broadbased, equitable and dedicated to the well-being of the student-athlete.
• COMMITMENT TO PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT – to support the development of a well-balanced lifestyle for student-athletes, encouraging
emotional well-being, personal growth and decision-making skills.
• COMMITMENT TO CAREER DEVELOPMENT – to encourage the
student-athlete to develop and pursue career and life goals.
• COMMITMENT TO SERVICE – to engage the student-athlete in service
to his/her campus and surrounding communities.
As participants in the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, numerous UWM
student-athletes - including two men’s basketball players - have been
chosen to participate in the NCAA Foundation Leadership Conference.
Kalombo Kadima was chosen to be a part of the conference in 2000,
while Dan Weisse took part in the conference in 2001. Three women’s
soccer players from UWM - Fanta Cooper in 1999, Erin Blaedow in 2000
and Erin Shaugnessy in 2003 - have also taken part in the conference, as
has Chris Dadaian of the men’s soccer team in 2004.
The NCAA Foundation Leadership Conference is one of the largest noncompetitive gatherings of student-athletes representing NCAA Divisions
I, II and III. The participating student-athletes are selected from more
than 1,000 nominations that were submitted by member institutions
that participate in the NCAA’s CHAMPS/Life Skills Program.
Criteria for selection to the leadership conference include the student-athletes’ demonstrated ability and strong desire to be a leader and potential
to benefit significantly from a leadership-development experience.

TWO PANTHERS NAMED ACADEMIC ALL-DISTRICT
Buttchen, Nearman honored for athletic and academic achievement
Shannon Buttchen and Holly Nearman of the Milwaukee women’s track
and field team were named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District
Teams last season. Buttchen was named to the first team, while Nearman
was selected for the second team.
The UWM Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is composed of current
Panther student-athletes. It is assembled to provide insight into the studentathlete experience by promoting, fostering, designing and implementing
programs that encourage academic achievement, professional development,
health-conscious life choices and social responsibility.
The UWM SAAC is committed to the following initiatives:
Buttchen capped her Panther career at the league outdoor championships,
where she earned all-league second team honors with the 4x400m relay
and scored in the 800m with a fourth-place finish. Indoors, she garnered
all-league honors, taking second in the 800m. She also repeated as league
champion with the 4x400m relay. She boasted a team-best 3.952 GPA as a
political science major and earned the department’s Herman Kluge Senior
Athlete Award, which is given annually to one male and one female student
who best live up to the student-athlete mantra of academic excellence, athletic achievement and community involvement
• Providing student-athletes with the opportunity to effectively communicate
with the department administration and offer suggestions to enhance the
quality of the student-athlete experience
Nearman excelled last season, breaking the school record in the 5000m
twice this season, including at the NCAA Regionals last month in Arkansas. She crossed the line in 16:46.88 to place eighth, while missing out on
qualifying for the NCAA Championships by just one place. During the indoor
season, Nearman won a league championship in the 5000m and earned
all-league second-team honors as runner up in the 3000m. She majors in
journalism and carries a 3.702 grade point average.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2008-09, the
Horizon League continues to aspire toward its
goal of being one of the nation’s leading athletics
conferences while being recognized as a leader in
the development of student-athletes as leaders
and role models.
The Horizon League membership features 10
public and private institutions that have impressive academic reputations and a storied tradition of broad-based athletic programs. Current
membership includes Butler University, Cleveland
State University, the University of Detroit Mercy,
the University of Illinois at Chicago, Loyola University Chicago, Valparaiso University, the University
of Wisconsin-Green Bay, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Wright State University and
Youngstown State University.
The Horizon League’s primary focus is on adding
value to the educational experience through its
four platforms of athletic performance, academic
achievement, community outreach, and personal
responsibility and accountability. It is the League’s
belief that athletics is a powerful and visible resource tool that can be used to enhance student-athletes’ collegiate experience. The Horizon
League’s goals are to enhance the holistic university experience for the student-athlete, to create
an affiliation of institutions with similar athletic
The Horizon League
goals, and to adhere to the principals of integrity,
diversity, excellence and growth.
The Horizon League sponsors competition in 19
sports – nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross
country, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, indoor
track and field, outdoor track and field and tennis)
and 10 for women (basketball, cross country, golf,
soccer, softball, swimming and diving, indoor
track and field, outdoor track and field, tennis and
volleyball).
In all sports, all teams participate in their respective postseason League championships regardless
of regular-season performance, allowing all student-athletes an opportunity to qualify for NCAA
championships. The League receives automatic
bids to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s
and women’s basketball, men’s golf, men’s and
women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball.
The Horizon League is headquartered in Indianapolis, the “Amateur Sports Capital of the World,”
with offices in the Pan American Plaza (201 S.
Capitol Avenue), located across the street from
the RCA Dome and just blocks from Conseco Fieldhouse, the State Capitol Building and the NCAA
national office.
• HISTORY
Founded on June 16, 1979 as the Midwestern
City Conference with six charter members, the
League changed its name to the Midwestern
Collegiate Conference in 1985 and added
women’s sports for the 1986-87 academic
year.
Charter members of the conference included current members Butler and
Loyola as well as the
University of Evansville,
Oklahoma City University, Oral Roberts
University
and
Xavier University.
Among other current
members, Detroit joined
in 1980 and Cleveland State,
UIC, Green Bay, Milwaukee and
Wright State came aboard in 1994 in the largest non-merger conference expansion in history.
Youngstown State joined the League in 2001
and Valparaiso followed in 2007.
• ATHLETIC SUCCESS
In the past few years, the Horizon League has
enjoyed unprecedented success on the national
stage, highlighted by three Sweet 16 appearances
(Butler 2003, 2007; Milwaukee 2005) and eight
wins in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship
in the past five seasons. In other sports, League
teams have won at least one game in their respective NCAA Championships each of the last six
seasons in men’s soccer (Milwaukee 2002-05, UIC
2006-07), with UIC just one win away from the
College Cup in 2007.
In softball, League teams won a game in the national tournament four-straight years earlier in
the decade (UIC 2002, 2004; Wright State 2003;
Green Bay 2005), while advancing into the second
round in women’s soccer three of the last four
(Detroit 2004, Milwaukee 2005-06). Green Bay’s
women’s basketball team added to that resume
with a victory in the 2007 NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship. Butler’s Victoria Mitchell
became the League’s first NCAA individual champion when she won the 3,000-meter steeplechase
at the 2005 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships and then finished fourth at the 2005
NCAA Cross Country Championships.
• ACADEMIC SUCCESS
Horizon League student-athletes also excel in the
classroom as more than 500 have been named to
the Academic Honor Roll each of the past seven
semesters for carrying a grade-point average of
3.2 or better, including more than 600 for the
fall 2007 and spring 2008 semesters. Forty-eight
student-athletes were named to ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District teams in 200607 and 14 earned Academic All-America honors,
including a pair of first-team selections.
• DEMOGRAPHICS
Horizon League institutions boast a combined
enrollment of more than 130,000 plus more than
700,000 living alumni centered in the League’s
Midwest footprint. League media markets include
five of the nation’s top 35 in Chicago, Detroit,
Cleveland, Indianapolis and Milwaukee, covering more than ten million television households
and encompassing more than nine percent of the
nation’s television audience.
