2010 SEASON PREVIEW
“A New Era”
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th President of the United
States once said, “change is the law of life, and those who look
only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.”
Certainly that quotation could apply in 2010 to University
of Tennessee track & field, where two successful programs are
now under the same leadership after an off-season marked by
change.
J.J. Clark, who brought home two NCAA Indoor Championship trophies and three SEC titles to Rocky Top while leading the
Lady Vols for the past seven seasons, was tapped on June 22,
2009, to become UT’s first-ever director of track & field for both
the men’s and women’s teams.
Replacing Bill Webb, who retired after a 14-year run that included two NCAA Championships and four SEC triumphs, Clark
has the great privilege and responsibility of guiding a storied Big
Orange program into “A New Era.”
The 21-time coach of the year takes the reins of a sport at
Tennessee that has won a combined seven national championships (four men’s, three women’s) and claimed 51 SEC titles (22
indoors/29 outdoors) in track & field through the years. The women’s program most recently added to those impressive numbers
when it captured NCAA and SEC Indoor trophies during the 2009
campaign.
The Vols and Lady Vols also have been big contributors
when it comes to producing track & field Olympians. A total of
36 Tennessee competitors have represented various countries
at the Games, including gold medalists Benita Fitzgerald, Justin
Gatlin, Tim Mack, Sam Graddy and DeeDee Trotter; silver medalists Gatlin, Graddy, Lawrence Johnson and LaVonna Martin; and
bronze medalist Gatlin.
In 2008, Clark served as the women’s middle distance coach
for Team USA at the Beijing Olympiad, joining former UT skippers
Stan Huntsman, Terry Crawford and Dorothy Doolittle as members of previous U.S. staffs. All of the aforementioned numbers
speak volumes about the way Tennessee track & field is viewed
nationwide.
While the history is staggering, it has been achieved by separate programs and coaches. In 2010, Clark will undertake not only
the process of leading two teams, but he also must unite heroes
from the past and team members and coaches of the present to
begin creating new possibilities together for a great future.
“I’m very proud to be the director of track & field at the
University of Tennessee,” Clark said. “It’s a real honor, because
track & field here has such a tremendous history. I look forward
to the abundant possibilities for building on to an outstanding
program.”
The Coaching Staff
Fortunately for Clark,
he won’t have to face this
task alone. He will be supported by one of the best
staffs in collegiate track &
field. Two veteran coaches from last year’s men’s
team return, a member of
the women’s staff added
men’s throws responsibilities to his job description
once again and a pair of
newcomers with great
coaching and competitive
pedigrees came aboard to
complete UT’s braintrust.
Perhaps no one
knows the legacy of UT
track & field more than
George Watts, who was
an All-America distance
runner in his UT college
days and spent 24 years
as a member of the men’s
staff here before assuming
the role of associate head

coach of the joint configuration for his 25th year
in 2010. Watts, who has
been part of three NCAA
team title victories with
the UT men’s program,
will continue to lead the
Vol distance/cross country contingent, while Clark
is still in command of the
women’s distance corps.
The sprint areas are
in the hands of sixth-year
assistant Norbert Elliott
and newcomer Heather
Van Norman. Both have
previous head coaching
experience, Elliott at Murray State and Van Norman
at Tulane, and each was
an outstanding athlete, at
Texas-El Paso and LSU,
respectively.
Elliott has produced
26 All-America performances, two NCAA titles Senior Phoebe Wright swept the SEC
and eight SEC champions 800m titles, was second at NCAA Indoors,

deal of success at the University of Georgia before coming to UT. Van Norman, who led
both the men’s and women’s programs at Tulane, saw her charges win 14 conference championships, earn 144 all-conference
honors and make 16 NCAA Championship meet appearances
during her seven years in New Orleans.
John Frazier is in his fourth season as throws coach at
Tennessee. During a career that has seen him coach men and
women and make stops at Arizona, Florida and Tennessee, he
has trained 36 All-Americans and four national champions. Frazier also has produced several post-collegiate performers and
has been a member of U.S. staffs at international competitions.
In addition to Van Norman, men’s and women’s jumps coach
Jerome Romain is new to Big Orange Country this season. He
came to Tennessee after successful coaching stints at the University of Wisconsin and Brown University and has been involved
as a head coach and assistant for the island country of Dominica’s international teams. Romain also was a stellar performer
during his collegiate career, serving as a captain and earning
All-America accolades as a triple jumper at Arkansas.
The volunteer coaching staff only adds to the impressive nature and stability of Clark’s leadership group. Back are respected
pole vault coaches and former Vols David Job and Russ Johnson as well as Olympic medalist and jumps coach Charlie Simpkins. New to the staff are a pair of distance volunteer assistants
in Patrick Gildea, who ran for Watts at UT, and Victoria Martinez, who was an assistant on Van Norman’s staff at Tulane.
“I am ecstatic to have assembled such a fantastic coaching
staff,” Clark said. “It’s wonderful to have experienced coaches
like George, Norbert and John continue with our program, and
I look forward to the outstanding contributions that Heather and
Jerome are going to make. Combined with our volunteers, we
have all of the event areas covered with great expertise, and I’m
anxious to get the ball rolling.”
The Lady Volunteers
The Tennessee women are coming off a fantastic 2009
season that saw them win the NCAA and SEC Indoor Championships. The loss of several key components of that success,
however, will be hard to replace. Gone are Sarah Bowman, a
two-time NCAA champ and 12-time career SEC winner in the
distances, 2009 SEC Indoor and Outdoor hurdles champ Celriece Law and key SEC contributors in sprinters Lynne Layne
and Amanda Alexander, as well as distance runners Rolanda Bell
and Katie Van Horn.
2010 SEASON PREVIEW
Clark will center his
retooling process around
the distance and throws
corps and look for his
coaching staff to strengthen the overall group moving forward.
“Our goals are always
the same,” Clark said. “It’s
to go out there and do the
best we can, and that encompasses winning. We
wind up extremely happy
if the result is an NCAA or
SEC Championship.
“We’ve lost some key
players from last year, but
people tend to step up
when that happens. People like Jackie Areson,
Ellen Wortham and Laquoya Kelly have the
capability to contribute to
our team and put us in position to win track & field

Women’s Distance/Relays record-setting DMR unit in 2009 and is
ready to break out individually in 2010.
The strength of J.J.
Clark’s squad entering the season is unquestionably the distance
group. Led by senior Phoebe Wright and sophomore Chanelle
Price, UT simply has two of the finest 800m runners in the nation.

competitions, ran 2:00.40 and 2:01.33, respectively, last summer.
The nucleus of this year’s team, they were part of Tennessee’s
world record-setting and NCAA Indoor champion distance medley relay and outdoor world-record 4x1500m relay effort in 2009.
Areson, Brittany Sheffey and Kimarra McDonald (outdoors eligibility only) add strength to the distance area. Areson
is coming off a fantastic cross country season and returns after
finishing second at SEC Indoors a year ago in the 3000m and
second outdoors in the 5000m. Sheffey, an SEC scorer in the
mile and 1500m as a freshman in 2008 and an NCAA and SEC
champion with the DMR, is back after redshirting due to illness
in 2009. A solid cross country campaign during the fall suggests
she is ready to once again shine on the oval.
As for McDonald, she has only outdoor eligibility remaining
and will provide depth in the 800 meters and as a leg on the
4x400m relay. She was a member of UT’s indoor and outdoor
conference 4x4s last season and ran on the American record
4x800m unit at Penn Relays.
Sophomore Ramzee Fondren highlights the rest of the distance runners. As a rookie, the Detroit native stepped up and
handled the DMR 800m leg at the SEC Indoor meet, helping UT
win once again. She will be joined by senior Michele Levy, junior
Kim White, sophomores Elizabeth Altizer, Ally Colvin, Charity
Honeycutt, Chelsea Knotts and Elizabeth Tiller, redshirt freshmen Andrea Ferri and Kelsey Kane, and true freshman Nicole
Rammer.
Women’s Throws
Annie Alexander burst onto the scene as a rookie in 2008,
sweeping the SEC shot put titles and adding a discus crown to boot.
As a sophomore, she came up just short of winning, but was once
again in contention. Unlike her freshman season, Alexander was
able to excel at the NCAA meets as a sophomore and card thirdplace shot put finishes at those meets in 2009.
Frazier looks for her to enter her third year more hungry and
capable of producing even more points for Team Orange. If she
does, she will no doubt improve on her school-record shot (57-2 indoors, 57-3 outdoors) and No. 2 all-time UT discus marks (189-3).
Frazier also welcomes back an SEC scorer in sophomore
Kelly (hammer) and potential point-producers in junior Holly
Kane (javelin) and sophomores Akeela Bravo (discus/hammer),
Brittany Napoli (javelin) and Taylor Rotella (weight/hammer).
Kelly grabbed sixth in the hammer throw at the SEC Indoor
meet a year ago with a heave of 175-1 and could also expand her
point-producing role indoors to the weight throw this year. Kane
just missed the scoring cut at SECs last season, finishing ninth
in the javelin, while Bravo flashed potential and displayed great
improvement in the hammer and discus by winning both events
at the Trinidad & Tobago Junior Championships last summer.
With another year of coaching and strength training, Napoli
should improve on her 15th-place SEC javelin showing of 2009,
while Rotella looks to get back into throwing form after missing
last season due to injury. She was a 16th-place finisher in the
hammer in 2008.
A pair of newcomers in Aslynn Halvorson and Jessie Harrison should make an impact. Halvorson ranked third in the discus among preps in 2009 with a top toss of 169-5. She also possesses a best weight throw mark of 53-9 1/4, which suggests she
could score indoors and out at the SEC level. Harrison doesn’t
quite have the rankings coming out of high school, but her 139-4
personal record in the discus and 6-0 frame offer Frazier a great
deal of potential for improvement in the years to come.
Women’s Sprints/Relays
With the departure of Layne, Van Norman will be faced with
developing UT’s next national-caliber sprinter. Whether finding
diamonds in the rough or recruiting blue-chip prospects, the former LSU standout has a record of turning folks into champions.
Her group this season will consist of three relay All-Americans in junior Brittany Jones and sophomore Ashley Harris
and Wortham, as well as seniors Janea Grimes and Chardae
Hancock and true freshmen Nyosha Bryant, Kia Jackson and
Martinique Octave. Junior Bianca Blair of Austin-East High
School has returned to Knoxville after stints at South Carolina
and Texas A&M and will be eligible in 2011.
Jones, who has superstar potential in the 400m, as witnessed by her prep PR of 52.44, has been limited to relay duty
at UT due to nagging injuries. That said, she has handled the
400m leg for UT’s NCAA-winning DMR the past two seasons and
contributed to scoring 4x1 and 4x4 tandems at the SEC level.
Harris and Wortham ran on UT’s seventh-place 4x1 unit at
NCAA Outdoors in 2009, and they were on the scoring 4x1 and
4x4 quartets, respectively, at the SEC Outdoor meet. Harris returns with UT’s best short sprint marks of last season at 7.65 for
60m, 11.85 for 100m and 24.45 for 200m.
In addition to bolstering the sprint group, Bryant (7.62,
11.79, 23.95, 55.58),
Jackson (7.70, 11.63,
24.14) and Octave
(7.60, 12.35, 24.57,
57.54) will most likely
compete with Hancock and perhaps
multi-eventer Kirstyn
Sweeney for slots in
the various relay lineups.
Women’s Hurdles
H a n c o c k ,
Sweeney, Wortham,
and senior Jená Murphy form UT’s hurdles corps. Wortham
is coming off a fifthplace finish in the
400m hurdles at the
SEC Outdoor Championships and is the
only proven commodity. Hancock and
Murphy will focus on
short hurdles, while
Sweeney will probably see duty in both.
After winning three SEC titles as a freshman
in the throws events, Annie Alexander broke
through at the NCAA meets as a sophomore
and placed third at each in the shot put.
7
2010 SEASON PREVIEW
Women’s Vertical Jumps
Wortham is a 5-7 3/4 high jumper who should improve even
more this season and contend for points at the conference level.
Sweeney also will get some work in that area.
With only one pole vaulter on the roster, rookie Danielle
Coffey, Job will work on her development and try to build the
group through recruiting.
Women’s Horizontal Jumps
With the departure of Law and Layne, Romain and Simpkins
will be starting from scratch and working with Bryant, Jackson,
Wortham, Murphy and Sweeney to develop those athletes into
potential SEC contributors in this area. Romain no doubt will be
trying to add to this area through recruiting in the coming years.
Women’s Multi-Events
Wortham gave a good account of herself as a freshman in
the SEC pentathlon, charting a fifth-place finish with 3,736 points,
while also high jumping and running on relays. Outdoors in 2009,
she proved to be of more benefit to the team in several open
events rather than the two-day heptathlon. Murphy has one SEC
pent and one hept under her belt and is hoping for big improvement in 2010. Sweeney was one of The Volunteer State’s best
multi-eventers in high school and hopes to transition successfully
to the collegiate level.
The Volunteers
Taking over a Vol squad that closed out the 2009 campaign
with an eighth-place SEC Outdoor finish and a 38th-place outcome at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, Clark will face not
only the challenge of running two teams but also recharging the
batteries of the Big Orange men’s unit. It’s a task that he proved
himself worthy of when he resurrected a struggling UT women’s
program and turned it into a national and conference championship contender in very short amount of time.
Clark’s first edition should find its strength in the sprinting of
All-Americans Evander Wells and Kyle Stevenson, long sprinter Samdi Fraser, distance standouts Joe Franklin, Michael
Spooner, Emerson Peacock and Peter Sigilai, pole vaulters
Joe Berry and Brad Holtz, and thrower Matt Maloney. Others,
without question, will emerge.
Gone are SEC champion and All-America multi-eventer Michael Ayers, SEC champion high jumper Brenard Wilson and
conference scorers in throwers Nick Panezich and Richard
Wooten and triple jumper Akeem Hardnett.
“We lost some key
athletes from last year,
but I believe just as on
the women’s side, people will step up and get it
done,” Clark said. “Who,
when and where, we
have to wait and see.
We have enough firepower to do that.
“The men’s program has always been a
strong one, and we are
going to maintain that
work ethic and just try to
add a little more to it.”
Men’s Sprints
Tennessee’s short
sprint unit is likely the
deepest on the team
and one of the most
likely to produce points
at the conference and
national championships.
The Vols’ top returning
8
Sprinter Evander Wells will try to improve
upon his totals, which include eight AllAmerica certificates and 16 SEC scoring
finishes during a fantastic career.
athlete in the group is eighttime All-America performer
Wells, who enters his senior
season ranking among the
top four in school history in
the 60, 100 and 200 meters.
Joining him is fellow senior
Stevenson, an integral part
of UT’s sprint relay success
in the last three years and
the owner of the 11th-fastest
60m time in program history.
Sophomore Joe Morris
also returns after a promising freshman season that
saw him just miss out on a
conference scoring performance in the 60 and also
post the 12th-fastest 60 time
in school history. Providing
depth in the 60, 100 and 200
races will be sophomores
Desmond
Brown
and
Deaundra Dailey.
The highest-profile newcomer to the sprint group is A key member of UT sprint relays over
Dentarius Locke, who ar- the years, Kyle Stevenson is a two-time
rives at UT with top prep All-American and has finished in the
times in the 100 (10.31) and points seven times at the SEC level.
200 (20.58) that rank second
behind Wells on the UT depth chart.
The Vols’ 400 contingent has plenty of depth and will enter
2010 seeking to record some national breakout performances.
The Vols return three runners in seniors Fraser, Alan Bachman
and Nathan Grace that competed regularly in the 400 last season, but only Fraser managed to score at the conference meets,
doing so indoors in seventh place. The top newcomer in the group
is freshman Terrance Livingston, whose top time of 47.70 ranks
second on the depth chart entering 2010 competition.
Men’s Hurdles
The Vols return only one hurdler for the 2010 season in
400m specialist John Hewitt. The senior barely missed out on a
scoring performance at the 2009 SEC Outdoor Championships
and has a top time of 51.58 in the event.
Men’s Middle Distance
Tennessee’s middle distance group features two of the
Southeastern Conference’s top 800 performers in sophomores
Peacock and Franklin. Peacock ran the fastest regular-season
time in the league last year at 1:48.34, and Franklin was a topthree finisher indoors and outdoors and an NCAA qualifier in the
event. One other Volunteer enters the 2010 season with a sub1:50.00 time, and it’s newcomer Sigilai, whose top time ranks
third on the team at 1:49.00. Three other newcomers, Livingston, Jordan Chaney and Eric Ryan, could also be factors in the
800.
Sigilai is also expected to be the Vols’ top 1,500 performer, as he enters the season with a top time of 3:44.80. Veteran
Spooner, who carried the UT distance unit last season, has the
second-best time in the group at 3:51.37, though he is expected
to focus on the longer races at the conference level. Senior Mike
Brodsky also will compete in the 800 and 1,500.
Men’s Distance
Spooner and fellow junior Chris Rapp are expected to be
the first Vols across the finish line in the longer distance races
this season. Spooner holds the top returning times on the team
in the 3K, 5K, and 10K races, and Rapp is the Vols’ top returner
in the steeplechase. Spooner posted his first career conference
scoring performance in the 10,000 at SEC Outdoor Championships last season.
Sophomore Steve Fassino ranks among the top returners
in the steeplechase, 5,000 and 10,000 races, and junior Chris
Kane and redshirt freshman Chris Bodary could also be factors
2010 SEASON PREVIEW
at the league level with improvement throughout the season.
Tennessee’s two newcomers in the long distances are
Leoule Degfae and Thomas Gilmartin. Degfae is a freshman
with plenty of potential and a solid season of cross country behind him, while Gilmartin is a sophomore returning to the team
after taking a year off to focus on his engineering studies.
Men’s Relays
Tennessee’s 4x100m relay unit of Wells, Stevenson, Morris
and Grace saved its best performance for the NCAA Mideast
Regional last season and can only be expected to improve even
more throughout the 2010 campaign. The relay will be bolstered
by freshman Locke, who will likely work his way into the group
that runs in event finals.
The 4x400m relay of Fraser, Bachman, Stevenson, Grace
and Hewitt managed to score for the team at the SEC Indoor
and Outdoor meets last season. All four return in 2010. Wells,
sophomore Varick Tucker and Livingston will also likely join the
4x400 unit at some point during the season.
UT’s top distance medley relay will likely feature Spooner
in on the longest leg, Peacock or Franklin on the 800 leg and
Fraser on the 400 leg. Newcomers Ryan and Sigilai could factor
into the 1,200 leg as could a number of other Volunteers. With
the 400 and 800 legs held by established runners, the success
of the relay indoors will depend on those running the longer distances.
Men’s Vertical Jumps
If there is an event in which the Vols are truly stacked, it is
the pole vault. Berry, a junior, has won three-straight SEC championships in the pole vault and ranks ninth in school history with
a top clearance of 17-9. He is joined by two other Vols who could
score at the conference meet. Also a junior, Holtz has only outdoor eligibility remaining but placed in the top four at the conference level both indoors and outdoors last season. Sophomore
Robert Rasnick cleared 17 feet while redshirting last season
and will be a factor for the Vols as well.
In the high jump, 2009 SEC Indoor champion Brenard Wilson exhausted his eligibility and leaves only two newcomers in
his place. Freshman Tyler Stepp is one of UT’s top newcomers
across all events with a top high school clearance of 6-11 and
could score at the conference meet with steady improvement
throughout the year. Only two inches behind Stepp is multi-event
athlete Kevin Carney, a transfer from Kentucky.
Men’s
Horizontal Jumps
Much like the high
jump, the Volunteers
return no experienced
competitors in either the
triple or long jumps. Julius Tate did not compete in 2009 and is the
only triple jumper on the
roster with a collegiate
mark at 48-2. In the long
jump, Stepp will enter
the season atop the
depth chart at 23-3, followed by another freshman in Patrick Crum,
who leaped 23-0 in high
school.
Men’s Throws
Returning from a
redshirt season in 2009
due to injury, Maloney is
the Vols top performer
in the javelin, weight
throw and hammer
throw. The senior ranks
sixth in school history
Senior Matt Maloney is an All-America
javelin thrower and twice finished as the
runner-up in that event at the SEC Outdoor
Championships.
in the javelin, his top event,
and has challenged to score
at the conference level in the
weight throw.
In the shot put and
discus, Tennessee will rely
entirely on athletes without
experience at the major college level after SEC shot put
champion and indoor school
record holder Nick Panezich
exhausted his eligibility last
season. Two Vols originally
in Knoxville to play football,
Ben Bartholomew (shot put)
and Minor Bowens (discus)
will be relied upon heavily by
the UT coaching staff. Drew
Thomas, who redshirted last
season, will also compete in
the shot put.
Men’s Multi-Events
Tennessee will miss
All-American Michael Ayers, Joe Franklin was the SEC Outdoor

season, in the heptathlon the indoor campaign.
and decathlon. Carney fills
his spot on the roster as the top multi-event athlete after posting
an eighth-place finish at the SEC Outdoor Championships last
season while competing for the University of Kentucky. His top
heptathlon score sits at 4,717, while his best decathlon mark is
6,087.
The Schedule
Tennessee will open its initial campaign as a combined program on Jan. 15-16 in Lexington at the Kentucky Invitational. It
will mark the first of six consecutive weekends of meets designed
to prepare the athletes for the SEC Indoor Championships and
NCAA Indoor Championships, which are both slated for the Randal Tyson Track Center in Fayetteville, Ark., on Feb. 26-28 and
March 12-13, respectively.
The indoor campaign will include two trips to Lexington (Ky.
Inv., Jan. 15-16/Rod McCravy Memorial, Jan. 29-30), two to
Blacksburg, Va. (Va. Tech Hokie Inv., Jan. 22-23/Va. Tech Challenge, Feb. 19-20) and visits to the Penn State National Invitational (Jan. 29-30), New Balance College Invitational (Feb. 5-6)
and Texas A&M Challenge (Feb. 13). The New Balance in New
York City and the A&M Challenge, a scored meet between Big
12, SEC and Conference USA schools, are the two most high
profile of the regular-season indoor events.
Outdoors, Tennessee will appear in the newly-renovated
confines of Tom Black Track at LaPorte Stadium on four occasions. In addition to the Sea Ray Relays on April 7-10, the men
and women will appear together for the first time ever at the Volunteer Track Classic on April 16-17 and then run at home on May
8 in the Tennessee Invitational and on May 13-16 in the SEC
Outdoor Championships.
The Big Orange will open the outdoor slate on March 26-27
with some event groups traveling to the FSU Relays in Tallahasse, Fla., and others to the Stanford Invitational in California. The
Pepsi Florida Relays are on April 2-3, and UT will be in Philadelphia on April 22-24, looking to put on another show at the Penn
Relays like it did in 2009 when it won four relay crowns and shattered records in multiple events at Franklin Field.
The NCAA added a new post-season wrinkle for 2010. Instead of regional competition, there will be preliminary rounds
held at two different sites on May 27-29, with athletes attempting
to advance through first and quarterfinal rounds. Tennessee will
take part in the East Preliminary Round in Greensboro, N.C. The
West Preliminary Round will be held in Austin, Texas.
Those advancing out of the preliminary rounds will head to
Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., June 9-12, to conclude their season in the semifinals and potentially the finals at the 2010 NCAA
Outdoor Championships.

2010 NCAA OUTDOOR WOMEN’S QUALIFYING STANDARDS
The 2010 outdoor campaign will mark the first season that NCAA Division I schools will utilize a “preliminary round” format for
determining qualifiers for the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championship meet, which will be hosted this season by the University
of Oregon on June 9-12. As opposed to the past six years, where four regional meets were held for
the purpose of determining who advances to the NCAA Championship meet, 2010 will feature East
and West Preliminary Rounds, held in Greensboro, N.C., and Austin, Texas, respectively.
The holders of the top 48 marks in each event will advance to either the East or West Preliminary
Round site, based on their school’s geographical location. Both preliminary round meets will be held
May 27-29, with North Carolina A&T hosting the East site and the University of Texas hosting the
West version.
All states west of the Mississippi River, plus Illinois and Wisconsin and with the exception of
Louisiana, will compete in the West Preliminary Round. All other states will compete in the East
meet.

2010 NCAA OUTDOOR MEN’S QUALIFYING STANDARDS
The 2010 outdoor campaign will mark the first season that NCAA Division I schools will utilize a “preliminary round” format for
determining qualifiers for the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championship meet, which will be hosted this season by the University
of Oregon on June 9-12. As opposed to the past six years, where four regional meets were held for
the purpose of determining who advances to the NCAA Championship meet, 2010 will feature East
and West Preliminary Rounds, held in Greensboro, N.C., and Austin, Texas, respectively.
The holders of the top 48 marks in each event will advance to either the East or West
Preliminary Round site, based on their school’s geographical location. Both preliminary round
meets will be held May 27-29, with North Carolina A&T hosting the East site and the University of
Texas hosting the West version.
All states west of the Mississippi River, plus Illinois and Wisconsin and with the exception
of Louisiana, will compete in the West Preliminary Round. All other states will compete in the East
meet.

J.J.
CLARK
Director of Track & Field /
Women’s Cross Country Coach
Eighth year at Tennessee
A two-time NCAA and six-time SEC champion coach with the Lady
Vol track & field and cross country teams from 2002-09, J.J. Clark saw his
leadership responsibilities expand greatly in 2009-10 when he was named
the first-ever director of track & field at Tennessee over both the men’s and
women’s programs.
On June 22, 2009, on the heels of the retirement of former Vol coach
Bill Webb, Clark took the reins of one of the most storied collegiate programs
in the nation. Combining women’s and men’s achievements, Tennessee has
won seven national championships and claimed 51 SEC titles (22 indoors/29
outdoors) in track & field through the years. The women’s program most recently
added to those gaudy numbers when it captured NCAA and SEC Indoor Track
& Field Championship trophies during the 2009 campaign.
The Vols and Lady Vols have been big contributors when it comes to
producing track & field Olympians. A total of 36 Tennessee competitors have
represented various countries at the Games, including gold medalists Benita
Fitzgerald, Justin Gatlin, Tim Mack, Sam Graddy and DeeDee Trotter; silver
medalists Gatlin, Graddy, Lawrence Johnson and LaVonna Martin; and bronze
medalist Gatlin. In 2008, Clark served as the women’s middle distance coach for
Team USA at the Beijing Olympiad, joining former UT skippers Stan Huntsman,
Terry Crawford and Dorothy Doolittle as members of previous U.S. staffs.
The cross country programs also have thrived at Tennessee, boasting a
national championship and 30 SEC titles since their inception. The men’s and
women’s teams have made a combined 44 appearances at national championship meets and hosted the NCAA Championships together in 1990 at Pine
Lakes Golf Course.
The merger makes Tennessee the ninth school in the conference to utilize
the combined approach, and it marks the first sport at UT to move in that direction.
BIG ORANGE SUCCESS ON THE OVAL AND COURSE...
The architect of an amazing reclamation project with the women’s track
& field program at Rocky Top, Clark spent seven impressive seasons in
Knoxville before assuming control of both teams. During that time, he 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.
All told, Tennessee has enjoyed five top-five NCAA women’s track &
field finishes (Indoors: 1st in 2005 and 2009, 3rd in 2007 and 4th in 2004;
Outdoors: 4th in 2005) and three additional top-10 outings (Indoors: t8th in
2008; Outdoors: t7th in 2004, t10th in 2009) during Clark’s stay in Knoxville.
UT also has eight SEC top-three outcomes (six 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.
The women’s cross country program also benefitted 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. Clark, who continues to lead the Lady Vol distance corps while
George Watts coaches the men, is the all-time winningest cross country coach
in the history of the UT women’s program.
On the trails, his distaff troops have carved out eight consecutive topthree performances at the SEC Championships, including two runner-up
finishes to go along with the three victories. At the regional level, Team Orange
has wound up fourth or better all eight seasons under his watch, finishing third
twice along with the four triumphs the squad has enjoyed.
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
cross country coach and assistant track & field coach at Florida (1992-2002).
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.
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
18
SEC Women’s Coach of the Year (1996, 1997, 2003, 2004, 2005). His 1996
and 1997 recognitions, along with the 1998 Nike track & field award, came
while he was at Florida.
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 Lady Vol program. During Clark’s first seven years at
the UT helm, 30 athletes have combined to earn 131 All-America certificates,
with his Lady Vols collecting eight NCAA titles (six indoors and two outdoors)
and 37 SEC championships (22 indoors/15 outdoors) during that time period.
Two of those 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 eight national women’s event winners under Clark’s watch
are 2009 indoor mile champ and meet-record-holder Sarah 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, Phoebe Wright and Bowman; and 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.
Cook, who set the collegiate record indoors in the 800 meters at 2:00.75
in 2005, surely would have added another individual crown had it not been for
a late season leg injury that knocked her out of the NCAA Indoor meet.
In cross country, Clark has groomed 13 athletes who have totaled 30 AllSouth Region awards in eight seasons and 13 who’ve accumulated 22 total AllSEC honors. In addition to qualifying teams for the NCAA Championships from
2002 to 2006, he also had Jackie Areson (2008, 2009), Sarah Bowman (2008)
and Katie Van Horn (2009) 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.
ACADEMIC PROWESS...
In the classroom, Clark’s high expectations have been met with equal
success, as his track & field/cross country troops have tallied 107 SEC
Academic Honor Roll recognitions, 17 ESPN The Magazine Academic AllDistrict IV nods and seven Academic All-America citations since 2002.
Bowman became his first two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic AllAmerica 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 firstteamer Wright and second-team selection Amanda Alexander. Katie Flaute
and Christina Billings were second-team ESPN The Magazine honorees in
2007 and 2003, respectively, while Felicia Guliford garnered Academic AllAmerica 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 Track & Field Scholar Athlete of the Year
and the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year. She also joined Guliford as Lady Vol
harriers nominated for NCAA Woman of the Year.
PENN RELAYS AND RECORD-SETTING MARKS...
In 2004, Clark returned the Big Orange to vogue at Franklin Field in
Philadelphia, Pa., as
the Lady Vol contingent
pulled off a hat trick of
baton event victories
at the historic 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
SMR 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, with Bowman
earning athlete of
the meet honors for
playing a role in UT
winning the DMR,
4x1500m and 4x800m
events. The 4x15 unit
ran a world-record
clocking, while the Whether it was about NCAA Championships, Penn
4x8 brought the baton Relays victories or breaking world, American and
home in an American- collegiate records, ESPN called upon J.J. Clark to
tell its viewers how his team did it.
record readout.
Those 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
marks set on Clark’s watch. Among them, the 2004 DMR plated the SEC record
at 11:16.61, while Cook’s 2005 collegiate record in the 800m also stands as a
conference best. 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 seven years on The Hill, UT marks in 14 events
indoors and 16 events outdoors have been revised. In addition to that, there
are names of numerous current student-athletes who are climbing their way
up the charts, and Big Orange women continue to pepper the facility and meet
record lists, both at home and around the nation.
REPRESENTING YOUR COUNTRY...
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),
Kameisha Bennett (800m), Shanna Dickenson (throws), Sharon Dickie
(distance/XC), Lynne Layne (sprints), Jeneba Tarmoh (sprints) and Cleo Tyson
(sprints), and current Lady Vol Chanelle Price (800m), have performed well for
Team USA. Current stars Annie Alexander and Akeela Bravo (throws), 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.
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.
Wright appears likely to be the next to join the list, as she charted a
third-place finish in the 800m at the 2009 U.S. Outdoor Championships and
came up 40/100ths of a second shy of competing in the World Championships
in Berlin because her 2:00.40 season and career best didn’t meet the auto
qualifying standard.
IMPACTING BIG ORANGE ATHLETICS...
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 Women’s
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 allsports 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...
Track & Field Athlete of the Year in 1998 and 1999, and Becki Wells, a twotime 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. Since that season, UF was extended
invitations four more times to the national meet, 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.
INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE COACHING MEN, WOMEN...
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 worldclass 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.
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 and 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,
he would return to his prep alma mater and serve 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 would make 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.”
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. Clark
helped transform a dormant women’s
middle distance/cross country program
into one that was respected, both
nationally and internationally. In fact,

GEORGE
WATTS
Associate Head Coach
(Distance - Men’s)
15th year at Tennessee
Associate Head Coach George Watts is in his 15th season in
charge of the Tennessee men’s distance corps and cross country
squad and in his 25th season overall with the Tennessee program.
Both as an athlete and a coach, Watts has been an integral part of
the proud distance tradition at Tennessee.
As an assistant coach with the men’s team, Watts played a
crucial role on coaching staffs that directed the Vols to NCAA Outdoor
Championships in 1991 and 2001, in addition to an NCAA Indoor title
in 2002. Watts has been on board as an assistant for 10 SEC titles,
most recently the 2007 outdoor championship.
He also has guided a number of athletes who excelled at UT as
well as post-collegiately. Watts-coached individuals have captured 33
All-America honors on the track and won 21 SEC titles. He coached
800m school record-holder José Parrilla and 1,500m school recordholder Tim Pitcher. Four of his former charges have competed in the
Olympics, most recently Anthony Famiglietti in the 2004 and 2008
Games. Famiglietti qualified for the steeplechase finals in Beijing.
Watts’ most recent accomplishment was directing true freshman
Joe Franklin to a runner-up finish at the SEC Outdoor Championships
and a berth in the NCAA Outdoor meet in the 800. Franklin’s teammate
and fellow true freshman Emerson Peacock clocked the fastest 800
time in the SEC last season and also posted a scoring time at the
SEC meet. Michael Spooner, Watts’ long distance protégé, was a
conference scorer as well, placing in the 10,000.
In 2008, 800 specialist Yarrick Kincaid posted an eighth-place
finish at the NCAA Championships to earn All-America honors,
and Andrew Dawson finished fourth in the 1,500 at the SEC
Championships to contribute five points to the Vols’ third-place team
finish and become the second UT distance runner to qualify for the
NCAA Regionals.
Watts led Tennessee’s DMR team of Jeff Day, Samdi Fraser,
Andrew Dawson and Tyler DeVault to the 2007 SEC Indoor title,
breaking Arkansas’ stranglehold on the event and claiming UT’s first
DMR conference championship since 1996. He then directed Day,
Fraser, Yarrick Kincaid and DeVault to a school-record clocking of
9:33.61 one week later. Outdoors, he coached Kincaid to All-America
honors and 10th on Tennessee’s all-time performance list in the 800.
Watts led three athletes to the 2006 NCAA Outdoor
Championships in three different events. Following the season,
he was named Mideast Region Male Assistant Coach of the Year
(Distance) by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches
Association. Watts’ middle distance and distance runners were
represented in the indoor and outdoor NCAA meets in 2005. Paul
Cross contested the indoor 800 meters, and Zach Sabatino raced the
steeplechase outdoors.
In 2004, freshmen Cross and Marc Sylvester, both 800 men, led
the Vols in scoring with third- and fourth-place finishes, respectively,
at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Cross also won the SEC
Outdoor title in the 800.
During the 2003 season, a Watts athlete qualified for the NCAA
Outdoor meet in every event he coached. Three-time All-American
Sylvester won the SEC 800 outdoor crown. Meanwhile, Patrick Gildea
authored the finest season for a UT 10K man in nearly a decade.
Watts molded Sylvester into an 800 force in 2002. He captured
All-America honors both indoors and outdoors, aiding greatly in
Tennessee’s quest for the 2002 NCAA Indoor title. Additionally,
Watts coached freshman Frank Francois to the 2002 World Junior
Championships in the 800.
In addition to tutoring the current Volunteers, Watts continues
to work with steeplechaser Famiglietti, 800 runners Sylvester and
Jebreh Harris, and distance specialist Jeff Day. Watts directed Harris
20
to a third-place finish at the U.S. Outdoor Championships in 2006 and
Gildea to the World Cross Country Championships that same year.
Harris also ran the first leg on the American-record breaking 4x800
relay team in 2006. Prior to his Olympic appearances, Famiglietti won
the 2002 USA outdoor title and 2001 World University Games under
Watts’ tutelage.
Watts also worked with legendary Tennessee alum Todd
Williams, a 1992 and 1996 Olympian and 10,000 school recordholder, during his professional career.
In addition to his associate head coaching duties for track, Watts
heads the men’s cross country program. As would be expected, UT
also competes at a very high level during the fall season.
Under Watts’ leadership, the Vols have regularly finished near
the top of the SEC, including three second-place finishes. His athletes
have competed in eight NCAA Championships, either as a team or
individually. In cross country, Watts has coached 29 All-SEC or AllAmerica runners.
Recognizing his efforts in constructing a cross country
resurgence, Watts earned South Region Coach of the Year honors in
2001 and 2002. Watts also took District III accolades in 1995.
In 2005, Tennessee notched its best NCAA Championship finish
in more than five years. The Vols posted improvement in each of the
three postseason races. Zach Sabatino earned All-SEC, All-South
Region and All-America honors with a 23rd-place finish at nationals,
the best by a Tennessee athlete in 10 seasons. Tennessee won three
straight meets to open the season, also a feat not accomplished in
the program since 1995.
During the 2002 campaign, Watts led the Vols to the NCAA
Championship for the second time in as many years. The Vols,
ranked fourth in the region, stormed to first place at the 2002 NCAA
South Regional. A year earlier, the Tennessee harriers reached the
NCAA Championship for the first time since 1998 despite not having
a runner on the roster that had ever been to nationals.
Tennessee’s NCAA highlight under Watts came in 1995 when the
Vols charted a 12th-place finish and the District III team championship.
Watts was tabbed district coach of the year that season. He also
directed Tony Cosey to a second district championship and a seventhplace All-America finish at nationals in 1995.
Watts proved to be an integral part of the Volunteer program
even before he was in a leadership position. As an assistant in the
cross country program, he helped guide the Vols to SEC titles in
1985, 1989 and 1990.
During his days as a Vol from 1975-78, he established himself
as an outstanding distance runner, earning All-America honors for
cross country in 1977 and indoor track in 1978 (three mile). Watts
captured four SEC crowns as a Vol, beginning with the 1976 outdoor
three-mile and six-mile championships. He followed with the 1977
outdoor 10,000 and 1978 indoor three-mile titles. Watts remains the
SEC record-holder in the three-mile run, clocking a 13:32.6 in 1978.
He also holds Tennessee freshman records in the indoor twomile (8:42.6), three-mile (13:44.4) and outdoor 10,000 (29:04.05). A
native of Alexandria, Va., Watts graduated from Tennessee in 1983.
His distance athletes began what has turned into an annual tradition
by helping out with event operations at The Race for the Cure, an
event for those affected by breast cancer.
Watts is a graduate of Thomas Edison High School in Alexandria,
Va., and possesses a B.S. in history, which he earned from Tennessee
in 1983. He and his wife, Karen, have a daughter, Katie.

NORBERT
ELLIOTT
Assistant Coach
(Sprints - Men’s)
Sixth year at Tennessee
Norbert Elliott is in his sixth season as an assistant coach
at the University of Tennessee, heading the men’s sprints and
hurdles contingent. His Big Orange athletes have earned 26 AllAmerica certificates, broken four school records, claimed eight
Southeastern Conference individual championships and won two
NCAA individual titles.
The 2009 season saw Elliott’s top sprinter, Evander Wells,
add to his already very long list of accomplishments by earning
two All-America certificates at the NCAA Indoor Championships in
College Station, Texas. The awards were the seventh and eighth of
his career, respectively, all achieved under Elliott’s watchful eye.
In 2008, Elliott charges Wells and Rubin Williams excelled
on the track. Williams earned five All-America honors in total and
captured the SEC Indoor title in the 200. Wells posted a fourthplace finish in the 200 at outdoor nationals and a sixth-place finish
at indoor nationals. Grouped with the fifth-place 4x100 team, that
made three All-America certificates for Wells and eight for the
pair.
Elliott’s tutelage of Tennessee’s sprinters led to him being
named USTFCCCA Mideast Region Assistant Sprints Coach of the
Year in 2007. Elliott directed Williams, Wells and Kyle Stevenson
to a 22-point haul in the 200m at the SEC Outdoor Championships
that clinched the team title for the Tennessee men. The trio
combined with Matthieu Pritchett to win the SEC 4x100 relay title
and break the facility record and also clock the fourth-fastest relay
time in school history while placing third at the NCAA Outdoor
Championships.
Williams successfully defended his indoor championship,
becoming the first sprinter to win the SEC 200 title indoors and
outdoors in the same year since Tyson Gay in 2004. Williams
finished second in the event at the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor
Championships, while Wells finished sixth indoors and fifth
outdoors.
Stevenson won a gold medal running for Team USA’s 4x100
relay at the Pan American Junior Championships following the
season. Also that year, each of the four sprinters posted provisionalqualifying times in the 60, marking the first time in school history
the Vols had four athletes meet the NCAA provisional-qualifying
mark in that event.
Elliott’s strong 2007 season was not limited to the track.
Senior Carjay Lyles improved his personal-best mark in the triple
jump by two and a half feet during the championship portion of
the schedule, culminating in a seventh-place, All-America finish
at the national championships and fifth place on UT’s all-time
performance list in the event.
Aries Merritt authored one of the best seasons in Tennessee
history under the direction of Elliott in 2006. The junior went
undefeated in every 55, 60 and 110 hurdles race he finished,
recording 18 wins in 18 races. Along the way he broke NCAA
meet records in the 60 and 110 hurdles. His time of 13.21 from
the NCAA Outdoor Championships is the second-fastest time
ever recorded by a collegian in the event. Merritt, who entered
the professional ranks after the season with one year of collegiate
eligibility remaining, left Tennessee with 14 facility, meet or school
records.
During the 2005 indoor campaign, Elliott tutored three
Volunteers to All-America status in three different events -- Merritt
in the 60 hurdles, Jonathan Wade in the 60 and Williams in the
200. Along the way, Merritt broke the school 55 hurdles record with
a 7.12 clocking.
Outdoors, Elliott coached Tennessee’s 4x100 relay team to a
third-place NCAA finish. Despite the fact that only one runner had
competed in the event at the national level before, Tennessee’s
quartet steamed to a 38.83 time, the third-fastest mark in school
history. Merritt (110 hurdles) and Williams (200) also earned
outdoor All-America acclaim. Merritt took the SEC 110 hurdles title
in 13.38, the fastest time in the NCAA that season.
Prior to joining the staff at Tennessee, Elliott earned head
coaching experience during three years at Ohio Valley Conference
school Murray State. He also brings knowledge of competition in
the hyper-competitive SEC from a decade of service as an assistant
at Georgia. Before taking the assignment in Athens, Elliott held the
post of assistant track coach at the University of Texas-El Paso, his
alma mater, from 1989-92.
A native of the Bahamas, Elliott also brings a wealth of
international coaching experience and a network of global recruiting
contacts. He served as coach of the Bahamas National Team
at the 2001 World Championships and 1996 Olympics and was
on Bahamas staffs for the 1995 Central America and Caribbean
(CAC) meet and the 2000 World Junior Championships. Among
his accomplishments, he has coached Olympic gold and silver
medalists in the 4x100-meter relay. Elliott worked with five NCAA champions, 10 SEC champions
and 30 All-America selections at Georgia. Athletes he recruited
and coached fueled the run to Georgia’s first women’s conference
title in 1995.
One of his star pupils, Nigeria native and Georgia school
record holder Bode Osagiobare, topped out at an impressive
10.01 seconds in the 100. Ken Garrett, who set the Georgia school
record in 2001 at 49.76 in the 400 hurdles, peaked at 48.61 in his
specialty.
As an assistant coach for UTEP (Texas-El Paso), Elliott
mentored athletes who won five NCAA sprint championships and
15 conference titles. In his own athletic career, Elliott specialized
in the triple jump at UTEP from 1981-85 and competed in the
1988 and 1992 Olympic Games. He placed 10th in the triple jump
in the 1988 Olympics and ninth in the triple jump at the 1987 World
Championships.
Elliott earned his bachelor’s degree in business management
from UTEP in 1987. He added a master’s degree in exercise
science from the school in 1991 as well.
He has five children: Danielle, Norbert II, Alexander, Dominic
and Adrian. His wife, Trudy, lost her battle with cancer just prior to
the 2009 season.

JOHN
FRAZIER
Assistant Coach
(Throws - Men’s/Women’s)
Fourth year at Tennessee
John Frazier is in his fourth season as a throws coach at
the University of Tennessee. He joined the Tennessee 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
for the past three seasons, Frazier has 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 will gladly embrace.
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 United States. In August 2007, he traveled to Osaka,
Japan, and worked with the U.S. women’s throws contingent as
it competed at the IAAF World Track & Field 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 three seasons with the Lady Vol 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.
Annie Alexander 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.
In 2009, Alexander came up just short of repeating her
conference titles, but her maturation enabled her to score
valuable points in multiple events and break into the scoring
column at the both the NCAA and SEC Championship meets. Her
contribution at the NCAA Indoor meet was vital to Tennessee’s
ability to bring home the program’s second NCAA team title in
the past five seasons.
Nationally, Alexander carded matching third-place finishes
at the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships, with the
sophomore equaling her indoor school record of 57-2 at the
national meet. She garnered All-America distinction for each
effort.
At the conference level, Alexander took second in the shot
and seventh in the weight throw indoors and placed second
in the discus and third in the shot outdoors. Her indoor effort
helped UT claim its third SEC Indoor team title in the past five
years.
True freshman Laquoya Kelly also made the SEC Outdoor
All-Freshman Team, earning a spot by placing sixth in the
hammer throw outdoors at 175-1.
Other UT standouts during Frazier’s time at Tennessee
include two-time 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.
22
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 21 years in the track & field coaching community,
Frazier’s athletes have attained 36 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.
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 (12) and
Courtney (9), and one son, John Jr. (7).

HEATHER
VAN NORMAN
Assistant Coach
(Sprints - Women’s)
First Year at Tennessee
Heading up the women’s sprint area is first-year member
of the Tennessee staff, Heather Van Norman. The highlyregarded coach was the first newly-hired piece of the puzzle
to join J.J. Clark’s brain trust, doing so on July 31 after he
was named the director of track & field at Tennessee in June
2009.
While Van Norman may be in her first season as an
assistant coach at UT, she comes to Rocky Top with an
abundance of experience in college track & field and a record
of producing national-caliber athletes in the sprint area. The
fact she was a head coach of both the men’s and women’s
track and cross country programs in her previous stop will only
increase her value to Clark and his staff.
For the past seven seasons, Van Norman headed up the
women’s track & field team at Tulane University in New Orleans,
La., guiding the program during a tumultuous period caused by
the wrath of Hurricane Katrina. In 2005, she also had to oversee
the resurrection of the TU men’s program after a two-year hiatus
due to the effects of Katrina on the city as well as the university
community.
After arriving in New Orleans in 2002, the former LSU sprint
and relay standout built a foundation for her student-athletes to
be successful, both in competition and in the classroom.
On the oval, Van Norman’s past prowess as an All-American and SEC champion sprinter served her well as a coach,
especially with her female sprinters, who made names for themselves at the NCAA level. Among her most noteworthy sprint
pupils were former All-American Gloria Asumnu, whose brother
Stanley played basketball at Tennessee, as well as Valencia
Wilson and Olivia Kizzee. As a junior in 2009, Kizzee made the
NCAA Outdoor semifinals in the 100- and 200-meter dashes
and was in contention for a trip to the World Championships for
her parents’ native country of Nigeria.
In her seven seasons in “The Big Easy,” Van Norman oversaw 16 NCAA Championship meet appearances, including one
All-American, and 44 entries into the NCAA Mideast Regional
field. Tulane student-athletes also earned all-conference recognition 144 times and won 14 league championships in various
events.
Asumnu, meanwhile, was one of two Green Wave athletes
to be named Conference USA Track & Field Freshman of the
“I am very elated to announce that Heather Van Norman is our new women’s sprint coach. She brings a great
deal of experience in the sprint area and a lot of skill in
recruiting and dealing with student-athletes. We’re looking
forward to getting her in orange and out on the road recruiting future Lady Vols.
I believe the group we have assembled thus far, with
George Watts as associate head coach and with Heather,
John Frazier and Norbert Elliott serving as assistants, will
be one of the best staffs in the country. We’re looking forward to wrapping it up with our final hire in the jumps area
in the very near future.”
Director of Track & Field J.J. Clark’s comments on the
day UT announced the hiring of Heather Van Norman.
Year under Van Norman’s tenure, winning the honor indoors
in 2004 and going on capture four straight C-USA 60m dash
titles. Wilson, meanwhile, garnered outdoor acclaim in 2006.
Academically, more than 70 of her charges were selected
to the Conference USA Academic Honor Roll, while Helmi
Leppanen attained ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District
status and Brianne Darragh earned a Conference USA Postgraduate Scholarship during her career.
Prior to her stint at Tulane, Van Norman served four years
as an assistant at Georgia Tech and prior to that had a twoyear stop at Rice. At Tech, she handled sprints, relays and
long hurdles and saw seven of her individuals and one of her
relay teams earn All-America accolades. Her tenure at Rice
was highlighted by her 4x400m relay team winning the 1997
NCAA Indoor Championship.
A 1994 graduate of LSU who nearly signed with Tennessee
out of high school, Van Norman was a six-time All-American
for the Tigers. She won three national championships in 1993,
doing so as a member of the indoor 4x400m relay team as
well as the outdoor 4x100m and 4x400m tandems. She was
instrumental in LSU’s run of titles during that time, helping the
Bayou Bengals claim three-straight NCAA Outdoor crowns from
1991 to 1993, a pair of NCAA Indoor trophies in 1991 and 1993,
and SEC Indoor and Outdoor crowns in 1993 and 1995.
In 1991, Van Norman was a member of LSU’s Americanrecord-setting 4x200m relay. A year later, she won the 1992
SEC Indoor title in the 400m and competed in that event at the
U.S. Olympic Trials in New Orleans.
A USATF level 1 and 2 instructor certified for sprints, jumps,
hurdles and relays, Van Norman began her collegiate career
at the University of Minnesota, where she was named Freshman Track Athlete of the Year. The Gopher State native is a
charter member of the Windom High School Hall of Fame and
is active with the United States Track & Field and Cross Country
Coaches Association, serving on the USTFCCCA’s executive
committee for five years and as its current secretary.
Van Norman and Derek Mills, a 1996 Olympic gold medalist and world champion, share two children, Odell, 17, and
Jasmyne, seven.

DAVID
JOB
Volunteer Assistant
(Pole Vault - Women’s)
Eighth year at Tennessee
Back for his eighth season in charge of the Lady Vol pole
vaulters is former University of Tennessee record-holder David
Job. A native of Oak Ridge, Tenn., Job previously spent 12
years coaching high school vaulters throughout the Knoxville
metropolitan area before lending his expertise to the Big Orange
program in 2003.
The past seven seasons have seen Job develop schoolrecord-setting athletes as well as SEC scorers and NCAA
qualifiers. His pupils hold the top four outdoor marks and the top
three indoor heights in school history.
The most recent Lady Vol to join that club was Alicia Essex,
whom Job developed into a three-time SEC scorer. A third-place
finisher at the league outdoor meet in 2009, Essex finished her
career No. 2 on the UT outdoor list at 13-7 1/4 and third indoors at
13-0 3/4.
In 2004, sophomore Jessica Reust benefitted from Job’s
tutelage, blossoming into the school’s top vaulter outdoors, winning
the SEC Outdoor title and advancing to the NCAA Championship
meet in June.
In only her second year at UT, Reust carded the best-ever
clearance outdoors by a Tennessee woman, sailing over 133.50 to claim the SEC crown in May 2004 and become the third
Lady Vol to win that event outdoors since 1998. She increased
the standard to 13-7.75 in 2006 in a third-place effort at the SEC
Outdoor Championships. Reust stands at number two on the Lady
Vols’ career indoor performers list, with a third-place outcome of
13-1 at the 2005 SEC Indoor Championships.
Job also developed Jessica Andrews and Kendra Rhyne into
SEC-caliber competitors before they completed their collegiate
careers in 2005. Rhyne scored points for her squad in eighth
position indoors and sixth place outdoors at the 2004 SEC
Championships and carded a tie for eighth at the 2005 conference
outdoor gathering. Andrews, meanwhile, managed a tie for eighth
at the 2005 SEC Indoor Championships.
During the 2003 campaign, he worked with senior vaulter
Christie Elwin and helped the Australian increase her then-indoor
and outdoor school records to 13-2.25 and earn her first trip to
the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Elwin’s top finishes included
taking fourth at the SEC Indoor meet and fifth at the first-ever
NCAA Mideast Regional, charting school standards on each
occasion.
During his dozen years of coaching prior to UT, his prep pupils
won titles or placed at the state championship meet in each of
those seasons. In 2002, one of the student-athletes he directed,
Andy Lane Jr., won the Young Men division at the AAU Junior
Olympics. Other Job proteges have set women’s records at
numerous meets, including the Knoxville News Sentinel Relays
and the Volunteer Track Classic.
Among recent charges are three Lady Vols who hail from the
Knoxville metropolitan area. He guided Rhyne to a state title and
Tennessee record in 2001, Reust to a state crown in 2002 and
also worked with Andrews. Additionally, he helped male vaulters
Nate and Jake Parkhurst win a state championship in 2000 and
finish second in 2001, respectively.
Job is in his second stint as a coach at UT, having worked with
the men’s program as assistant vault coach from 1970-72. He did
so after a standout career at Tennessee, in which he earned three
letters and claimed the school pole vault record in 1965.
Before Job’s college career ended, however, he was called
to serve his country in the Army during the Vietnam War from the
fall of 1966 until the fall of 1969. He later returned to Big Orange
Country and resumed his studies in the School of Architecture,
earning his diploma in 1973.
During a military assignment in Germany, Job vaulted in
Europe for the “Mannheim Turniern und Sport Gellsellshaft” Sports
Club, setting that organization’s record in the event. During that
time, he also etched his name in the record books by achieving
the best clearance for the Rhine Pfaltz District in Germany.
In his full-time occupation, Job is president of The Learning
Network, Inc., an e-learning company focused on corporate
training. The father of grown children Jeni and Matt, Job still
resides in Oak Ridge.
RUSS
JOHNSON
Volunteer Assistant
(Pole Vault - Men’s)
Fifth year at Tennessee
Russ Johnson is in his fifth year as the men’s pole vault
coach at Rocky Top, and he will work alongside jumps coach
Jerome Romain for the first time in 2009.
Johnson returned to The Hill in 2006 with the goal of helping
Tennessee’s pole vaulters continue to build on their long history
of dominance in the Southeastern Conference. He has done exactly that, and with great consistency, since taking over coaching duties in the event.
Johnson’s vaulters have won eight SEC titles during his
tenure at Tennessee. UT pole vaulters have combined to score
147 points at eight SEC Championships since Johnson began
coaching, an average of 18 points per competition.
In 2009, Johnson’s vaulters posted a 1-2-4 finish at the SEC
25
Indoor Championships and a 1-4-7 outcome at the SEC Outdoor
meet. The champion at both meets was sophomore Joe Berry,
who has won three-straight SEC pole vault crowns under Johnson and also has a runner-up finish to his credit.
Berry’s wins, along with top-eight finishes from Brad Holtz
and Michael Ayers both indoors and outdoors, mean Johnson
has coached at least three athletes to scoring performances at
five-consecutive conference meets.
In 2008, Johnson coached Michael Hogue to his thirdstraight SEC crown indoors and Berry to a conference title outdoors while Holtz managed two scoring performances and Ayers
secured one.
Outdoors in 2007, Johnson had four vaulters score 24.5
points in the pole vault to give Tennessee the lead in the team
standings on Saturday afternoon, helping the Vols to the program’s 25th conference outdoor title.
Johnson also is responsible for putting Hogue and Berry on
the program’s all-time top-10 list in the pole vault. Berry is ninth
at 5.41m (17-9) and Hogue is 10th at 5.40m (17-8 1/2). Holtz sits
at 12th on the all-time list with a top clearance of 5.30m (17-4.5)
with one year of outdoor eligibility remaining.
Johnson also boasts a successful career as a Tennessee
athlete. He currently stands second on Tennessee’s storied pole
vault top-10 list with a best of (5.65m) 18-6.5, trailing only collegiate record holder Lawrence Johnson.
Serving as a fifth-year coach in 2000 and training post-collegiately in 2000 and 2001, Johnson remained involved in the
pole vault and has continued to diligently study the event. He
also holds firm beliefs about the importance of developing strong
student-athletes, authoring two Academic All-America seasons
himself.
Johnson received his bachelor’s (2000) and master’s (2002)
degrees in sports medicine from the University of Tennessee. He
went on to earn a master’s in physical therapy from the Medical
College of Georgia in 2004.
He currently works as a physical therapist and site coordinator at Ortho Tennessee Therapy, which is part of Knoxville
Orthopedic Clinic. Johnson is also a Certified Athletic Trainer
and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. He is married
to Lesly Johnson, former Lady Vol pole vaulter and All-America
sprinter. They welcomed a new daughter in 2009, Lily Charlotte
Johnson.
VICTORIA
MARTINEZ
Volunteer Assistant
(Distance - Women’s)
Victoria Martinez is in her first season as a volunteer assistant with the Tennessee track & field program after serving as
assistant cross country and track & field coach at Tulane University during the 2008-09 school year. She worked with the Green
Wave middle distance and distance runners for then-head coach
Heather Van Norman, who is now the women’s sprint coach at
Tennessee.
Martinez enjoyed a tremendous career as a collegian at Adams State College in Colorado, earning All-America distinction
12 times in track & field and cross country. Among those were
NCAA Division II National Championships indoors in 2005 in the
800 meters and distance medley relay and outdoors in 2006 in
the 800 and 1500 meters.
While at Adams State, Martinez also won 12 Rocky Mountain
Athletic Conference titles and ran on three national championship cross country teams, was a finalist for 2006 NCAA Woman
of the Year and 2006 Division II Female Athlete of the Year. She
also went on to compete in the 2007 USA Track & Field Indoor
and Outdoor Championships in the 1500m and the 2008 U.S.
26
Olympic Trials in the 800m.
A native of Las Vegas, N.M., Martinez graduated Cum Laude
from Adams State in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in coaching. She then added a master’s degree
in human performance and physical education in 2008 from the
school.
CHARLIE
SIMPKINS
Volunteer Assistant
(Jumps - Men’s/Women’s)
Ninth year at Tennessee
Coach J.J. Clark and his full-time staff once again have former
world record-holding triple jumper Charlie Simpkins assisting their
efforts and providing them an invaluable resource. A two-time
Olympian
and silver medalist in 1992, he will lend his knowledge
and savvy to UT’s jumps corps for the ninth consecutive season.
Simpkins’ insights have been helpful in developing the Big
Orange jumps group, which has included former American
collegiate indoor long jump record-holder Tianna Madison, who
won the IAAF World Outdoor Championship, NCAA and SEC
Indoor and Outdoor titles and an NCAA Mideast Region outdoor
crown, all in 2005, before she turned pro after her sophomore
season. During her second campaign in Knoxville, Madison
became only the second American woman (Jackie Joyner Kersee
is the other) to strike long jump gold at Worlds and the third (JJK
and Marion Jones did so) to medal in that event. Amazingly,
Madison also was the first active Lady Vol track & field athlete to
win at Worlds.
Among the plethora of awards Simpkins’ tutelage helped
Madison receive were Sports Illustrated On Campus magazine
Women’s Indoor Track & Field Athlete of the Year, SEC Indoor
Women’s Field Event Athlete of the Year and USTCA Mideast
Region Women’s Outdoor Athlete of the Year. Madison was also a
finalist for the Honda Sports Award for Track & Field.
Along with former UT aide Caryl Smith Gilbert, Simpkins
played a role in Madison’s explosion to an American collegiate
record-tying 22-3 at the NCAA undercover meet and 22-7.25 at
the World Championships. Madison also had a barely-windy leap
of 22-8.50 (2.2 mps) that was the longest women’s mark ever
recorded in the 25-year history of the event at the SEC Outdoor
Championships.
Edra Finley also displayed remarkable improvement in 2005
under the watchful eye of Simpkins. Also a sophomore in 2005,
Finley moved herself to number two on UT’s indoor triple jump list
with a third-place leap of 41-8 at the SEC Indoor Championships.
Outdoors, she ascended to third on the Lady Vol career charts
with a mark of 40-9.75 and was on her way to more before an
injury brought her campaign to a halt prior to the SEC meet.
Celriece Law and Lynne Layne became the most recent UT
athletes to benefit from Simpkins’ advice. As a redshirt freshman
in 2006, Law moved past Finley to number two on UT’s indoor and
outdoor all-time triple jump performers lists and scored in that event
from 2006-09 at the SEC Indoor and Outdoor Championships.
Law also scored in the long jump at the conference level for
the first time in her collegiate career, taking third at the 2007 SEC
Outdoor meet, while teammate Layne was sixth. Layne followed
that up by taking sixth in 2008, at both the league indoor and
outdoor competitions, and eighth in 2009 at SEC Indoors.
A native of Aiken, S.C., Simpkins enjoyed a stellar postcollegiate career from 1985-95, participating in every national and
international competition imaginable. In five of those seasons, he
finished the year ranked among the top five in the world in the triple
jump. The pinnacle, of course, was his jump of 57-9 that enabled
him to earn runner-up status at the 1992 Olympic Games.
With a career best of 58-7 1/4, Simpkins has been ranked
among the 10 all-time best triple jumpers in the world, according
TENNESSEE SUPPORT STAFF
to Track & Field News. That fact is amazing, considering he didn’t
go out for track until he was a junior in high school. What’s more,
he accepted a basketball scholarship to tiny Baptist College (now
Charleston Southern) before later turning his focus to track &
field. That move proved to be a wise one, as he would earn AllAmerica honors three times en route to becoming a 58-7 1/4 triple
jumper, a 25-foot long jumper and a 7-2 high jumper.
The recipient of a sociology degree from Baptist, it is his minor
in exercise science that has been most useful of late. In addition
to his duties with UT, the ACE-certified Simpkins manages Zwick
Fitness Center, a corporate facility where he works as a personal
trainer and specializes in biomechanics for athletes. He also
serves as field events coach for the Knoxville Track Club, where
he has been involved for eight years.
he ranks fourth in the hammer throw with a personal-best effort of
210-0.
During the 2006 campaign, Sexton claimed Tennessee’s
fourth individual SEC championship in the hammer when he
outdistanced the field with a throw of 206-0. He also qualified for
the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the hammer throw. Sexton
received the Career Achievement Award at the team’s banquet
following his senior season.
Sexton graduated from Tennessee in 2006 with a bachelor of
arts in geography.

DMR unit in 2004 and started that relay off toward an SEC meet
record of 11:16.61 that season. She also won the SEC 3K indoor
crown in 2004 and anchored the Big Orange to a second straight
league DMR title in 2005.
In cross country, she garnered All-South Region and All-SEC
accolades three times each in cross country while leading the
Lady Vols to a pair of SEC titles, three region crowns and a trio of
NCAA Championship appearances.

JOAN
CRONAN
Women’s Athletics Director
27th Year
Triumphant collegiate programs are able to distinguish themselves from their counterparts because of superiority on the field
of competition and within the classroom. Under the vision and direction of Women’s Athletics Director Joan Cronan, the University
of Tennessee Lady Vols have garnered a reputation as one of the
most visible and respected programs throughout the nation.
UT’s success in both the athletic and academic realms speaks
volumes to Cronan’s decision-making and leadership ability, as
demonstrated by her peers at the National Association of Collegiate
Directors of Athletics (NACDA). They named her as president of
their organization for 2008-09. She is also a former president of the
National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators
(NACWAA).
Cronan was selected by NACWAA to receive its 2005 Athletic
Director of the Year award. In 2004, Cronan was honored by
NACDA with its Southeast Region Athletic Director of the Year
award. In 2009, the United States Sports Academy elected Cronan
to its board of trustees, and she was presented with the Women

2009 LADY VOL SEASON IN REVIEW
“Strong Suit”
In the game of cards, a long suit that contains high cards is
known as a “Strong Suit.” That’s exactly the hand University of
Tennessee Head Women’s Track & Field Coach J.J. Clark brought
to the table in 2009.
Not only did the UT skipper have several returning aces in
his hand, his deck also was comprised of face cards in all the
event areas. Clark played those cards in all the right ways a
year ago, resulting in the Lady Vols winning their second NCAA
Indoor Championship and third SEC Indoor title in the past five
seasons.
The second-ranked Lady Volunteers traveled deep into the
heart of Texas and demonstrated that they had enough heart of
their own to win a national championship on the home turf of the
nation’s No. 1 team, capturing their second NCAA Indoor Track &
Field Championship trophy in the past five seasons on March 14
in front of a partisan 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 its second
NCAA Indoor title in the past five seasons (2005, 2009) and its third
overall national title to go along with an AIAW Outdoor crown in
1981.
Texas A&M, which defeated the Lady Vols head-to-head in a
dual meet in College Station 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 the team was just unbelievable,”
Clark said. “What they did, coming out here competing and breaking meet and school records, it’s just an unbelievable performance
by the entire team. An 8.04 in the 100m hurdles, 4:29 in the mile,
57-2 in the shot and then Phoebe Wright, who was really sick the
week before, going in there and giving her best performance, was
absolutely critical. I am really proud of what they did.
“Really, it just signifies what our teams at Tennessee have
been about. We’ve won before and gotten third and fourth-place
trophies here and there. We always work hard. Not just this team,
but all of them, should be proud of this victory. It was just a really
spectacular moment for Tennessee.”
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 schoolbest clocking of four minutes, 29.72 seconds in the mile run. She
dramatically out-leaned Texas Tech’s sensational Sally Kipyego
at the finish line after a fabulous final-lap fight for victory and became the school’s
first-ever NCAA mile
champion. Falling
by the wayside was
the 4:30.63 meet
standard, set by
Wisconsin’s Suzy
Favor in 1989, and
Bowman’s previous
UT and season best
of 4:34.69, which
she ran at the Tyson
Invitational on Feb.
13.
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.,

navigated the hurdles in a UT-best

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
making things happen
in the shot put ring. On
her second attempt of
the competition, she
unleashed 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. The crucial effort matched her

ing opportunity, junior Outdoor hurdles titles as a senior.
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. She made her move to the front at the bell and fought
off Minnesota’s Heather Dorniden, but BYU’s Lacey Cramer went
to the inside down the home stretch and nipped Wright at the line
with a 2:04.27 readout. Dorniden was third in 2:04.43.
The night before, Tennessee’s distance medley relay got the
team off to a sensational start, delivering a world-record-setting
performance en route to victory.
Running in front of a crowd of 4,315, the UT lineup of Wright,
Brittany Jones, Chanelle Price and Bowman covered the 4000-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. As an afterthought, throw
in the facility record of 11:13.77, leaving a grand total of six former
marks in the UT tandem’s wake.
Clark, who has directed Tennessee to four top-four NCAA
Indoor finishes in the past six years, tipped his hat to everyone
involved.
“This was a team effort, from the shot, to the hurdles, to the
800 to the DMR to everything,” Clark said. “It was definitely a team
effort that got this done. I want to compliment my entire staff for
making this happen. It was a great effort.”
Two weeks earlier, UT also brought home its third SEC Indoor
trophy in the past five seasons. The second-ranked Lady Volunteers calmly clinched the victory in the second heat of the meet’s
final event, extinguishing any lingering drama and extending the
program’s odd-year run of conference glory at Kentucky’s Nutter
Field House.
Needing to finish no worse than fifth, and running in heat two
of a three-section final of the 4x400-meter relay, the quartet of
Price, Jones, Kimarra McDonald and Wright navigated the oval in
three minutes, 39.57 seconds to win that section with a time also
faster than any team in heat one. With only four squads running
in the final, including second-place LSU, it meant the Tigers could
not overtake UT in the team point standings, even if they won the
event.
Tennessee’s final tally of 111 points gave Clark’s squad SEC
Indoor crown number three in a line that started with trophies in
2005 and 2007, as well as the program’s sixth-straight top-three
finish at the meet. UT also won the inaugural meet in 1984.
LSU, which wound up fourth in the final heat of the 4x4, finished second with 105 points after beating Team Orange for the
league trophy in 2008. Arkansas was third with 97, followed by
Florida (94), South Carolina (57), Auburn (54), Kentucky (49.50),
Ole Miss (32), Mississippi State (28), Alabama (26.50), Georgia
(14) and Vanderbilt (5).
“It was an unbelievable effort from our team,” Clark said. “I’ve
never had this many SEC champions. People really pulled out
some great performances, and it was a total team effort. We expect
Sarah Bowman to go out and do what she did, but you have to do
it. Phoebe Wright, Celriece Law, Lynne Layne, Annie Alexander,
the DMR - it was just an incredible meet.
“We dug in and got it done. LSU didn’t just die and fold, they
did some great things. We’ve battled them before, and we’re just
happy to come out on top in such a great conference.”
After winning nine conference championships in the past three
seasons at the SEC Indoor meet, Lady Vol senior Sarah Bowman
finally earned the Cliff Harper Trophy, given to the meet’s top female
point producer. She scored 22.50 points this time around, thanks
to victories in the mile and 3000 meters as well as for her anchor
contribution on the distance medley relay. She anchored that unit
to a time of 11:23.43, with senior Rolanda Bell, and freshmen Ellen
Wortham and Ramzee Fondren helping on the front end.
A pair of former walk-ons, who are now on scholarship, provided Tennessee with incredible wins and important momentum in
the 60m hurdles and 800m run. Law of Denver (Colo.) Montbello
High School and Wright, a junior from Signal Mountain, Tenn., and
Red Bank High, serve as great examples of what hard work can
do.
Law started the day for the Lady Vols with a bang in the 60m
hurdles. Running in lane four, the three-time conference scorer
in this event became only the second UT woman to win the short
hurdles indoors, navigating the obstacles in a season-best and
NCAA provisional time of 8.16. She joined the great LaVonna
Martin (1987, 1988) as the only Big Orange women to triumph in
the hurdles at SEC Indoors.
Later, Wright stepped to the plate and belted one out of the
park in the 800. She had a tremendous start and maintained the
lead throughout the race, impressively out-kicking two-time defending champion LaTavia Thomas of LSU down the stretch. Wright’s
2:02.39 effort was a career best by two seconds and tied for the
second fastest 800 time ever produced by a Lady Vol. Teammate
Chanelle Price, a freshman, kicked in three points toward the
13-point spree with a sixth-place clocking of 2:07.94.
Tennessee also got second-place finishes from junior Lynne
Layne in the 60m and 200m dashes, junior Jackie Areson in the
3000m and Alexander in the shot put, while Law took third in the
triple jump.
In addition to
the team victories
and record-setting
efforts in College
Station and Lexington, Tennessee
produced memorable moments at
three other indoor
meets.
On Jan. 31 at
the Penn State National Invitational,
Bowman carded
an NCAA automatic
qualifying mark in
her third different
event of the season
and anchored the
4x800-meter relay
team to victory in a
school-record time
Bowman came
into the meet leading the NCAA ranks
with an auto time in
the mile (4:35.35) Phoebe Wright’s kick in the 800 meters at the SEC
and topping the Indoor Championships was unbeatable, as it turned
SEC and rating out to be at the outdoor meet as well.
third nationally in the
3000m (9:11.31). She
added another NCAA
leader and her third different auto clocking of
the campaign after winning the 800m with a
career-best time of two
minutes, 4.58 seconds.
That mark, which
blew away her previous personal record of
2:06.59 from 2007, also
topped both the meet
and facility records at
PSU’s Horace Ashenfelter III Indoor Track.
Bowman returned
to the oval later in the
day and carried the baton to the finish line as
Tennessee won the 4x8
by nearly 11 seconds
in a program-best time
of 8:34.32. She joined
McDonald, Wright and
Price to erase the former Annie Alexander was tough in the throws area,

set by Shawn Moore, and earning All-America kudos in the shot.
Alicia Johnson, Valerie
Bertrand and Jasmin Jones at the 1990 NCAA Indoor Championships. The 2009 Lady Vols also toppled the meet and facility
standards in the process.
Tennessee now owns Penn State National Invitational meet
records in the 200m, 800m, 4x4, 4x8 and distance medley relay.
The Lady Vols hold facility marks in the 60m, 200m, 800m, 4x4,
4x8 and DMR.
A week later, at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational in New
York City, Bowman and company would strike again in phenomenal
fashion, as the distance medley relay team won, automatically
qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships and broke a school
record.
That, however, wasn’t what had the crowd buzzing at the
Armory’s New Balance Track & Field Center. The fact that Tennessee did so with the second-fastest indoor time ever run by
women, midway through the season to top it all off, was what had
folks shaking their heads in amazement.
The combination of Wright, Jones, Price and Bowman blistered
the oval with a time of 10 minutes, 56.40 seconds to foreshadow
the NCAA title they’d win and the world record they would soon
break. At that point, only the 1988 Villanova squad’s 10:54.34
readout ranked faster on the world, American or collegiate lists.
In the process, UT destroyed the New Balance 2007 meet
and facility standard of North Carolina (11:04.63) and laid waste to
the UT-record, 2008 NCAA Indoor Championship-winning time of
11:01.97 that Brittany Sheffey, Jones, Wright and Bowman charted
less than a year ago. BYU, which challenged the Big Orange until
the final leg, placed second well back in 11:04.91 in a race that featured five teams that easily met the NCAA auto mark of 11:09.00.
In another competition, one that factored into the way the season eventually played out, Tennessee traveled to College Station
on Jan. 24 to help Texas A&M christen its new track facility with a
dual meet.
The fourth-ranked Big Orange women won eight events to No.
1 A&M’s seven, but the Aggies outscored the Lady Vols, 83-69, to
win the inaugural event held at the Gilliam Indoor Track & Field
Stadium at McFerrin Athletic Center.
With a partisan 3,016 fans looking on, including 927 A&M
students, the women from Rocky Top gave a good account of
themselves, sweeping all four of the distance events and capturing
first in the shot put, weight throw, pole vault and high jump.
During the meet, Clark’s squad also charted an NCAA automatic qualifier and three new provisional marks to boot in UT’s first
stab at a dual meet in 13 years. Little did anyone know, Tennessee
would turn the tables on the Aggies nearly two months later in winning the NCAA Indoor crown in the same building.
Outdoors, the Lady Vols weren’t able to match their 2009 NCAA
73
and SEC Indoor titles, but they did post respectable outcomes of
10th nationally and third at the conference level. It marked the eighth
top-10 NCAA performance and eighth top-three SEC finish of the
Clark era. The outdoor national result actually was Tennessee’s
finest since the squad placed fourth in 2005.
Alexander came up with UT’s top performance of the NCAA
meet, matching her indoor result by taking third with a heave of
54-6 1/2. Bowman’s bid to seize the 1500m crown came up short,
as she wound up fourth in 4:14.27. Law came in fifth in the 100m
hurdles at 13.21, while Wright also crossed the line fifth in the 800m
in 2:03.57. The 4x100m relay unit of Law, freshman Ashley Harris,
Wortham and Layne closed out the scoring with a seventh-place
effort.
In a third-place finish at the SEC Outdoor meet, Tennessee
would pick up three event wins and a trio of runner-up outcomes.
All of the victories resulted in season indoor/outdoor league sweeps
of those event areas, with Law taking the 100m hurdles crown in
a career-best 13.22, Wright triumphing in the 800m in a personalrecord 2:02.15 and Bowman winning her school-best 12th career
SEC title by taking first in the 1500m in 4:15.03.
Law added a PR leap of 42-2 to snare second place in the
triple jump, while Alexander carded second in the discus at 180-5
and Areson equaled her runner-up work in the indoor 3K by taking
second outdoors in the 5K at 16:32.72.
“It was a solid performance, but at the SEC Championships,
you have to have a great performance,” Clark said. “We performed
well, ran tough and had some good victories and personal bests,
but we fell a little short.
“I’m very proud, though, of the team for performing at a very
high level for a long time. This was another good, high-level performance from this team.” Tennessee’s finest hour during the outdoor campaign, without
a doubt, came in Philadelphia, at the historic Penn Relays. With
crowds at Franklin Field ranging from 24,000 to 48,000 over the
course of the Big Orange’s three days in the City of Brotherly Love,
and ESPN2’s cameras rolling live on the final day of action, the
Lady Vols simply put on a show for track enthusiasts.
The UT women have developed a reputation for running the
distance medley relay, and running it well. Clark’s Lady Vols added
to that growing legacy on April 23, winning the event in front of a
crowd of 24,315 at the 115th running of the Penn Relays.
The Big Orange, which set a world record and won its secondstraight and third overall NCAA DMR national title indoors in March,
claimed its fourth Penn Relays victory in that event and its 14th
overall baton-race triumph in meet history with a readout of 11
minutes, 2.11 seconds.
The Big Orange, who
posted the fifth fastest
time in program annals,
had previously won in
1993, 2004 and 2007
and posted a runner-up
outcome in 2008.
The quartet of
Wright, McDonald, Price
and Bowman carried
the stick for Tennessee, holding off a valiant effort by runner-up
Georgetown (11:02.85)
in what turned out to be
a two-team race.
On April 24, Tennessee returned to the
track and delivered
again. The 4x1500meter relay team snared
Tennessee’s second
baton event title in as
many days and did so
in world-record-setting
fashion front of a crowd
of 39,501.

and the 1989 school

for Bowman.
With nearly 48,000 fans cheering them on, Tennessee’s quartet
of McDonald, Price, Bowman and Wright produced a winning time
of eight minutes, 17.91 seconds to break the previous American,
collegiate, meet, facility and school records. The effort, capped by
Wright’s 2:02.62 anchor split, enabled the Lady Vols to win three
relay events in the same Penn Relays for the third time, joining
the 1984 and 2004 squads. It also allowed UT to pull off only the
sixth distance triple (victories in the distance medley, 4x1500m and
4x800m relays) in meet history.
Running down all of the awards and names for the 2009 season
is a rather lengthy undertaking, and that list can be found on page
79 of this publication. In summary, though, Tennessee boasted
five NCAA champions combining to win two events, nine athletes
earning 17 All-America honors in 10 different events, and six Lady
Vols claiming SEC titles in eight different races.
Bowman certainly headed that list, charting a pair of NCAA
titles, four All-America certificates and three SEC victories. She was
named the Cliff Harper Trophy recipient as the high-point scorer at
the SEC Indoor Championships and became the first Lady Vol and
only the seventh collegiate woman all-time to be featured on the
cover of Track & Field News after helping UT put on a show at the
Penn Relays and for her heroics at the NCAA Indoor meet.
Bowman also led the Big Orange charge from an academic
standpoint, carding ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America
acclaim, USTFCCCA Indoor Scholar-Athlete of the Year and SEC
Scholar-Athlete of the Year, all for the second consecutive season.
She also earned an NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship, was a finalist for the Honda Sports Award for Track & Field and was the state
winner of NCAA Woman of the Year honors.
Wright (first team) and senior Amanda Alexander (second team)
joined Bowman on the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America
squad and were among 24 Lady Vols making the SEC Academic
Honor Roll. Eight also were recognized on the USTFCCCA AllAcademic Team, and Tennessee was named the USTFCCCA
Academic Team of the Year for the indoor campaign, based on its
cumulative team GPA and finish on the track.
Summing up the season of success in brief, the 2009 Tennessee Lady Volunteers totalled one NCAA team championship,
one SEC team trophy, two world records, three American records,
three collegiate records, two NCAA meet records, eight school
records, dozens of individual and relay victories, and a lifetime of
memories.

2009 VOL INDOOR REVIEW
Tennessee athletes earned three All-America honors
at the NCAA Championships to cap the Vols’ 2009 indoor
campaign on March 13-14 in College Station, Texas.
Sophomore Michael Ayers earned his second career
certificate with a 10th-place finish in the heptathlon with
5,454 points. Junior Evander Wells earned his seventh
and eighth career certificates with a 10th-place showing
in the 60-meter dash and a fourth-place finish in the
200 meters. Senior Nick Panezich narrowly missed AllAmerica honors, finishing 10th in the shot put competition
with a mark of 17.97m (58-11.50). The team checked in
38th overall with five points.
The Vols crowned four individual champions and
battled to a third-place team finish with 78 points at the
SEC Indoor Championships in Lexington, Ky., on Feb.
27-March 1. The total of four individual winners was more
than any other team in the conference and the most for
Tennessee since the 2002 meet. Sophomore Joe Berry
claimed his second-straight SEC crown in the pole vault
after winning the event at the 2008 outdoor meet. He and
teammate Brad Holtz (senior indoors) both cleared 5.26m
(17-3) to secure the top two spots, but neither could get
over the bar at 5.34m (17-6.25), giving Berry the win
based on number of misses.
Junior Brenard Wilson claimed victory in the high
jump, clearing a lifetime-best height of 2.15m (7-0.5) in
one fewer attempt than Auburn’s Ryan Fleck to pick up
his first career conference title. Panezich was the next
Vol to seize a conference crown after tossing the shot
18.55m (60-10.5) to beat a field of 15 athletes at Nutter
Field House.
Ayers, meanwhile, posted a convincing win in the
heptathlon, scoring a personal-best total of 5,717 points
to earn his first SEC title.
”This is one of the better Saturdays we’ve had
at this meet,” Tennessee head coach Bill Webb said.
“Anytime you can crown three champions in one day, you
have accomplished something. Brenard and Nick both
In his final season as a Volunteer, Richard Wooten contributed to the scoring
cause at the SEC Indoor meet, finishing seventh in the weight throw.

Evander Wells was Tennessee’s top sprinter in 2009, aiding the 4x1, 4x2
and sprint medley relays and excelling individually as well.
did a great job of establishing themselves early in their
competitions and putting pressure on their opponents. “Michael fought and battled for two days and finally
put the heptathlon away in the pole vault.
“We finished third in the toughest and most competitive
conference in the nation, and I’m proud of our guys for that.
We got off to a great start again today with pole vault and
we scrapped for points throughout the running events.”
Tennessee had two athletes break school records
during the season: Panezich and freshman Deaundra
Dailey. Dailey ran a 300m time of 34.78 at the Virginia
Tech Invitational to break a school freshman record that
was more than 22 years old. Panezich tossed the shot
19.23m (63-1.25) at the Virginia Tech Challenge six weeks
later to claim the indoor school record in that event.
At the marquee meet of the regular season, the
New Balance Collegiate Invitational held at New York
City’s famed Armory Track, Tennessee won three events.
Panezich grabbed a win in the shot put with a throw of
18.63m (61-01.50), while sophomore Michael Spooner
posted a time of 8:14.11 to win the collegiate section of
the 3,000m. A day later, Spooner posted another firstplace finish, taking the collegiate mile in 4:10.31.
The Vols’ top team performances came early in the
season at the season-opening Virginia Tech Invitational,
as five athletes claimed individual event victories. Wells
(60m), sophomore Charlton Rolle (60m Hurdles), senior
Akeem Hardnett (triple jump), junior Mike Brodsky (1,000m)
and Panezich (shot put) were the victors. Two weeks later,
six individual titles were the result of Tennessee’s firstever trip to the U.S. Naval Academy for a meet. Junior
Kyle Stevenson (60m), Wells (200m), Franklin (800m),
Panezich (shot put), Hardnett (triple jump) and Berry (pole
vault) made good on their first competition in Annapolis,
Md.
Tennessee indoor lettermen for the 2009 season
included Ayers, Berry, Franklin, Hardnett, Holtz, Panezich,
Stevenson, Wells, Wilson, junior Samdi Fraser, freshman
Emerson Peacock, junior Alan Bachman, junior John
Hewitt, junior Nathan Grace, sophomore Axel Mostrag,
and senior Richard Wooten.
2009 VOL OUTDOOR REVIEW
Tennessee’s 2009 outdoor campaign was a rebuilding
season that saw several Vols garner individual acclaim despite team finishes at the conference and NCAA meet that
were below the program’s storied standards. The Vols struggled to 48th place at the NCAA Championships and eighth at
the SEC meet.
Eight Vols qualified individually for the NCAA Championships: sophomore Michael Ayers in the decathlon, sophomore Joe Berry in the pole vault, freshmen Joe Franklin and
Emerson Peacock in the 800m, senior Akeem Hardnett in
the triple jump, senior Nick Panezich in the shot, sophomore
Charlton Rolle in the 110m hurdles and junior Evander Wells
in the 100m.
Franklin and Peacock’s participation at the national
championships was an impressive feat, considering both
were true freshmen. Panezich finally broke through to the
NCAA meet in his senior season after qualifying for NCAA
Regional competition in three different events three times in
his career.
Akeem Hardnett also earned a trip to nationals for the
first time as a Volunteer. Ayers, Berry and Rolle were each
making a second appearance at the NCAA Championships,
while Wells was in action for the third-straight season.
At the NCAA meet, Ayers posted a career-best score
of 7,797 in the decathlon to finish fourth and earn his third
career All-America certificate. He had previously earned AllAmerica honors indoors in 2009 and outdoors in 2008, both
times in multi-event competitions. His score also moved him
into eighth place on the UT all-time list.
Fifteen individuals and two relays posted marks during
the regular season that were good enough to earn them a
trip to the NCAA Mideast Regional. At the meet, Tennessee’s
two relay units posted season-best times but fell just short of
qualifying for the NCAA Championships. The 4x100m unit of
freshman Joe Morris, Wells, junior Kyle Stevenson and junior
Nathan Grace posted a top time of 39.82 in the event finals,
while the 4x400m grouping of junior Alan Bachman, Grace,
junior Samdi Fraser and Stevenson dropped a full second
Alan Bachman was a member of Tennessee’s 4x400m relay team in 2009,
helping that unit finish eighth at both of the SEC Championship meets.

from their previous season best to clock in at 3:08.34.
At the SEC Championships, three Vols earned acclaim,
including Ayers. The Nashville, Tenn., native was named
second-team All-SEC after finishing second in the decathlon.
Berry captured his third-straight SEC Championship in the
pole vault, clearing 5.38m (17-7.75). The sophomore has won
three of four conference titles since he became a Vol.
Franklin earned second-team All-SEC and freshman AllSEC honors in his first outdoor conference meet by finishing
second in the 800m at 1:48.39. During the season, he was
twice named SEC Freshman Runner of the Week for his success on the oval.
“We didn’t have the type of meet that we wanted to,”
UT head coach Bill Webb said. “It started with not qualifying
enough guys early in the weekend. This is one of the best
meets there is, and you have to be ready to compete. With the
exception of a few events like the 800m with our two freshmen
scoring, I don’t think we performed to our abilities.”
The highlight of the regular season was Berry and UT’s
sprint medley relay unit of Wells, Stevenson, Grace and Franklin winning championships at the world-famous Penn Relays.
The Vols now have won 72 Penn Relays crowns all-time.
Throughout the year, Tennessee athletes captured 24 individual event titles at their eight regular season meets.
Tennessee’s outdoor lettermen were Ayers, Bachman,
Berry, Franklin, Fraser, Grace, Hardnett, Panezich, Wells,
sophomore Michael Spooner, junior Brenard Wilson and junior Brad Holtz. Holtz was also named to the SEC Community
Service Team, while John Hewitt made the USTFCCCA AllAcademic Team.
After the SEC Championships, head coach Bill Webb
announced his retirement. Webb served at Tennessee for
24 seasons, and his 14 seasons as UT’s head coach produced many of the program’s proudest moments, including
two NCAA and four SEC team championships. He became
the first coach in program history to win back-to-back NCAA
titles after following up the 2001 NCAA outdoor crown with the
2002 NCAA indoor championship.
“I’m proud of being a part of the great track & field tradition at Tennessee,” Webb said. “I have many fond memories of
working with such fine coaches and athletes at this University.”

THE SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE
The Southeastern Conference, with its storied 77-year
history of athletic achievements and academic excellence, has
built perhaps the greatest tradition of intercollegiate competition
of any league in the country since its inception in 1933.
The 2008-09 academic year was another season to
remember for the SEC, as conference teams captured five
national titles and posted six national runner-up finishes. The
SEC won consecutive national championships in football and
gymnastics. Since 1990, the SEC has won 131 national team
championships for an average of nearly seven per year.
Florida won the SEC’s first national title of the year with its
win in the BCS National Championship Game in football. It was
the league’s third consecutive football national title. Georgia’s
Gym Dogs won their fifth straight gymnastics championship.
Auburn captured its eighth men’s swimming and diving national
championship. Tennessee won its second national track & field
championship since 2005, when the women’s indoor squad won
the NCAA title. LSU claimed its sixth national championship in
the sport of baseball. Florida finished first among Southeastern
Conference schools and third overall in the NACDA Director’s
Cup final standings.
Overall, the SEC finished in the top two in 10 of its 20
sponsored sports and in the top five in 13 of the 20 sports.
Eight SEC teams participated in football postseason bowls,
with Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss and Vanderbilt
winning the BCS National Title Game, Capital One, Liberty,
Chick-fil-A, Cotton and Music City bowls, respectively. Three
men’s basketball teams were invited to the NCAA Tournament,
and seven women’s basketball teams were also invited to the
“Big Dance.”
The SEC had eight teams advance to postseason play in
baseball, with four hosting four super regionals and Arkansas
and LSU advancing to the College World Series. With 150 teams
advancing to NCAA postseason competition, the SEC continued
to solidify its place as the nation’s premier conference.
In addition to the five team championships, 53 SEC studentathletes garnered individual national championships, while 323
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, the SEC placed nine teams
in the top 40 of the NACDA Director’s Cup rankings. Florida
led the league with a third-place finish. LSU placed ninth, while
Georgia (18th), Tennessee (23rd), Arkansas (25th), Auburn
(26th), Alabama (30th), Kentucky (34th) and South Carolina
(39th) rounded out the league’s top-40 finishes.

LADY VOL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
2009 NCAA INDOOR CHAMPIONS
The second-ranked Tennessee Lady
Vols traveled deep into the heart of Texas
and captured their second NCAA Indoor
Track & Field Championship in the past five
seasons before a crowd of 4,917 at Texas
A&M’s Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium.
The nine-member Lady Vol squad
scored 42 points, enough to clinch the victory with two events remaining, and won
the program’s third overall national title to
go along with another NCAA Indoor title in
2005 and an AIAW Outdoor crown in 1981.
Texas A&M, who defeated the Lady Vols
head-to-head in a home dual meet on Jan.
24, 83-69, gamely tallied 37 points to place
second. BYU was third with 33, followed by
Texas (31) and Arizona State (30) rounding
out the top five.
“The character and heart of this team
was just unbelievable,” seventh-year UT
Head Coach J.J. Clark said. “What they
did today, coming out here competing and
breaking meet and school records, it’s just
an unbelievable performance by the entire
team. A world record in the DMR, 8.04 in
the 100 hurdles, 4:29 in the mile, 57-2 in
the shot and then Phoebe Wright, who was
really sick last week, coming here and giving
her best performance today, was absolutely
critical. I am really proud of what they’ve
done.
Senior Sarah Bowman started the day
in grand fashion for the Big Orange by capturing her first-ever NCAA individual crown
and her third overall national triumph in a
meet-record and school-best clocking of
four minutes, 29.72 seconds in the mile run.
98
She dramatically out-leaned Texas Tech’s
sensational Sally Kipyego at the finish line
after a fabulous final-lap fight 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 UTbest 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 secondplace 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.
LADY VOL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
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 3-7-8 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.
1981 AIAW OUTDOOR CHAMPIONS
Directed by eighth-year head coach Terry
Crawford, the 1981 Tennessee Lady Vols delivered the University of Tennessee its initial
national championship in women’s athletics.
A group that became known as the “Ten That
Made One” scored 61 points in Austin, Texas,
to fend off runner-up UCLA’s 57 and hoist the
1981 AIAW Outdoor trophy high in the Texas
sky.
Crawford’s squad produced a year filled
with firsts. Not only did the Big Orange capture a national title, Tennessee seized the 1981
Southeastern Conference Outdoor Championships during the first season the league sponsored such a meet for women.
Among the competitors for Team Orange
in Austin were Sharrieffa Barksdale, Myrtle
Chester, Joetta Clark, Benita Fitzgerald, Rose
Hauch, Pam Passera, Linda Portasik, Cathy
Rattray, Patricia Walsh 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.
99
VOL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
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
11th-best qualifying mark in the nation.
On the second day of the meet, Tennessee’s
Stephen Harris posted eight points with a personalbest, runner-up 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.

VOL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
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
one-two finish to give the Volunteers a huge swing
of momentum. Doug Brown took the title with an
8:35.84 contribution. Ron Addison helped paint
the awards stand orange with his runner-up finish
(8:36.76).
One of three Vol NCAA champions, Willie Thomas took top honors in the 880-yard run in 1:48.72 to
do his part in bringing Tennessee’s first NCAA track
trophy back to Knoxville.
Additionally, Darwin Bond contributed eight
points with a runner-up finish in the 440-yard dash,
courtesy of a 45.73 clocking.
Tennessee’s bronze 4x110-yard relay effort included Greer Radcliff, Jones, Jon Young and Bond.
The Vol quartet navigated the track in 39.69.
Tennessee’s victory was celebrated throughout
the South, as the Vols became the first southern team to win a national track title since 1933. Earlier in the season, coach Stan Huntsman led the Vols to their 11th consecutive SEC title.

LADY VOLS AT NCAA/AIAW MEETS
Tennessee has a rich tradition of excellence competing
in national championships. The Lady Volunteer track and
field team garnered the women’s athletics department’s first
national title when the squad won the 1981 AIAW Outdoor
Championships, and it collected the first-ever non-basketball
women’s NCAA trophy at UT when the Big Orange triumphed at
NCAA Indoors in 2005. All told, UT has placed in the top three
at either the indoor or outdoor national meet 14 times. Listed
below are all-time individual top three efforts.
Since the NCAA Championships began in 1982, UT has
more top-10 finishes outdoors (14) than all but six schools in
the nation and is one of only 10 programs that has finished 10th
or better outdoors at least 10 times.

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

LADY VOLS AT THE PENN RELAYS
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 30
Penn Relays championships during their history.
Since 2004, the Tennessee women have won a total of eight
relay crowns, including three at both the 2004 and 2009 meets. Last
year’s trifecta included world, American, collegiate, meet, stadium
and school records in the 4x1500 and the latter five standards in the
4x800m event. This year’s 116th running of the Penn Relays takes
place from April 22-24.

The University of Tennessee track and field program began in 1901 when University Track and Field Day was proclaimed and celebrated. UT began intercollegiate competition in 1909 with the formation of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, though
records are not available from that season through 1921. The Vols had no team during the 1918 and 1919 seasons because of
World War I. The program commenced outdoor Southeastern Conference competition in 1933. World War II brought an end to the
sport from 1943-46. Outdoor track and field resumed in 1947. Indoor meets were introduced in 1960.
Note: Records are based on scored meets of eight teams or fewer and do not include SEC or NCAA championship meets.
* Stan Huntsman became head coach at the beginning of the 1971 outdoor season. Chuck Rohe gets credit for the SEC title and
record for the 1971 indoor season.

STOKELY ATHLETICS CENTER
182
Located in the center of campus, diagonally across Volunteer Boulevard from Tom Black Track at LaPorte Stadium, the William
B. Stokely Athletics Center serves as the home of University of Tennessee track & field indoor practices. Since 2008, the Vols and
Lady Vols have had the facility at their full 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 34 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, and strength and conditioning, compliance and
media relations as well as the coaching staffs for men’s
and women’s golf and track & field, and women’s rowing,
softball 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-theart training room.

TOM BLACK TRACK / LAPORTE STADIUM
A venue that has hosted many a great meet, Tom Black Track at LaPorte Stadium will take on a fresh appearance in 2010 as UT
hosts 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.
That ambience was scheduled for upgrade again in 2009-10,
as plans called for resurfacing the track, completing the entry plaza,
upgrading the pavilion, enhancing the seating areas with brick work
and adding a few other cosmetic touches.
In 2003, thanks to the LaPorte family, the property also was
improved in preparation for the SEC Championships. 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 and 2003 SEC Championships,
the 1994 and 2005 USA Track & Field Youth National Championships,
the 1994 USA Track & Field Championships, the 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.
