RED FOXES
SEASON PREVIEW
After winning a program-record 27 games and the program's
second MAAC Water Polo League title in 2008, head coach
Ashleigh Jacobs and the Marist Red Foxes are primed to
defend their title. Marist returns all but two players from last
season's squad, and bring in three newcomers to make a run
at another MAAC championship.
SENIORS
Marist will be led into the season by seniors Katelin McCahill, Caitlin Hopkins, and
Kristen Powers. These three have been an
integral part in the Red Foxes' 74 wins over
the last three seasons. Marist increased its
win total in each of the last three seasons.
McCahill enters the season as Marist's alltime leading scorer. Last season, she
passed Alyson Fiorello as the Red Foxes'
all-time leader in goals scored

ond all-time in assists with 78.
McCahill
An All-MAAC Second Team
selection in 2008, McCahill was Marist's second-leading scorer with 62 goals and added 20 assists and 30 steals.
Hopkins and Powers provide depth at the 2M and Utility positions. Hopkins had five assists and four steals in 14 games in
the 2008 season. Powers added four goals in only five games
and had two assists.
JUNIORS
Marist's junior class looks to make a big impact on the 2009
season. Driver Angie Rampton and utility Samantha Swartz
were All-MAAC Second Team selections last season. Kristen
Barnett had a strong 2008 season after being named MAAC
Rookie of the Year the season prior. Combined with the efforts
4
of Hilary Schroeder, Emily St. Omer Roy, Kaitlin McMurray, and
Rachel Sunday, this class is the core of Marist's 2009 squad.
Barnett scored 59 goals in 2008 and added 31 assists and 36
steals. Swartz had a breakout offensive season with 46 goals
and 43 assists, while Rampton scored 36 goals and assisted on
37 more. Both Swartz and Rampton each made an impact
defensively as well, recording 37
and 36 steals respectively.
Schroeder had another balanced season in 2008, recording
25 goals and 35 steals. Sunday
had a big season in 2008, scoring 25 goals with 22 assists and
13 steals in 29 games. St. Omer
Roy played in 33 games, recording seven goals and 12 steals.
McMurray added four goals in
17 games.

last season. She scored 33 goals in her rookie campaign and
added 24 assists and 24 steals.
Colleen Lischwe also had a strong offensive season as a freshman, scoring 21 goals. Agnes Konopka had 12 goals last season, including a key tally in Marist's win over Iona in the
MAAC Championship game. Defensively, Madison Weber
returns in goal for Marist. In eight games, Weber had a 2.75
goals against average and 28 saves. Jessica Stevenson and
Grace Hatcher gave Marist depth in limited action.

squad. Transfer Jessica Getchius joins freshmen Desiree
Desaulniers and Kelly Kline. Getchius, from Simi Valley, Calif.
looks to get time at goalie with Weber. She played at Ventura
Community College the last two years, being named the
Ventura County Newspaper Athlete of the Year. In high school,

OUTSIDE THE POOL
During the off-season Marist's women's water polo team
keeps busy and active in supporting the local community
through various outreach programs. Some of these programs include but are not limited to:
-
Reading to elementary-age girls at Hagan
Elementary
Serving food at the community ARC picnic
Teaching water polo at the Girl Scout Clinic
Dove self-esteem workshop
Working with the Special Olympics
Appreciating athletics and enjoying team challenges, this
year, during the off-season, the team enjoyed a full day at
an indoor rock-climbing gym followed by a home-cooked
Mexican dinner. As for the inter-squad west coast vs. east
coast challenge, it stands currently at a tie through basketball, ultimate Frisbee, and soccer challenges. The team welcomed a Saturday scrimmage with the Marist Baseball team.
The boys gained respect for the goalies ("she's a wall") and
appreciation for the sport ("I'm just trying to survive"), and
did a great job playing four quarters without the assistance
of any floating devices.

THE MAAC
With 10 institutions strongly bound by the sound principles of quality and integrity in academics and excellence in athletics, the Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference is in its 28th year of competition during
the 2008-2009 academic year.
The MAAC was founded in 1980 by six charter members: the U.S.
Military Academy, Fairfield University, Fordham University, Iona
College, Manhattan College and Saint Peter's College. Competition
followed one year later in the fall of 1981 with members competing
in the sports of men's cross country and men's soccer. On January 2,
1982, Army traveled to Iona for the first MAAC men's basketball
game and the MAAC story had begun.
Today, Conference members include: Canisius College, Fairfield
University, Iona College, Loyola College (Md.), Manhattan College,
Marist College, Niagara University, Rider University, Saint Peter's
College, and Siena College. In addition, associate members Mount
St. Mary's University, Providence College, Saint Joseph's University,
Virginia Military Institute and Wagner College compete in men's
lacrosse. St. Francis (N.Y.) College, Villanova University and Wagner
College are all associate members of the MAAC Women's Water
Polo League. The MAAC will support 24 sports and championships
during the 2008-2009 academic year.
The MAAC Basketball Championships return to the Times Union
Center in Albany, New York, for 2009 and 2010, with Bridgeport's
Arena at Harbor Yard preparing to host the 2011 championship. By
having an excellent working relationship with various facilities, the
MAAC has been able to attract a number of NCAA Championship
events. Most recently, the MAAC, Canisius College and Niagara
University successfully hosted the 2004 and 2007 NCAA Division I
Men's Basketball Championship First and Second Rounds at the
HSBC Arena in Buffalo, New York. All three parties will host that
event again in 2010. The MAAC and Rider University will co-host
the 2009 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship
Regional at the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, N.J., after recording the third highest attendance figure for the women's championship with the First and Second Rounds in 2006.
MAAC Associate Sports
In June of 1995, the MAAC continued to develop opportunities for
student-athletes as the conference announced the formation of the
MAAC Men's and Women's Lacrosse Leagues. The men's league
began competition in the spring of 1996, while the women's league
commenced in the spring of 1997. The men's league consists of
four MAAC schools -- Canisius, Manhattan, Marist, and Siena - and
five associate members - Mount St. Mary's, Providence, Saint
Joseph's, Virginia Military Institute and Wagner. The women's
league consists of MAAC institutions Canisius, Fairfield, Iona,
Manhattan, Marist, Niagara and Siena.
In 2002, the MAAC added the MAAC Women's Water Polo League.
The league is made up of three MAAC schools - Iona, Marist and
Siena - as well as three associate members, St. Francis (N.Y.),
Villanova and Wagner.
STORY
Woman of the Year Award. In the fall of 1998, Erin Whalen, a member of the Iona women's rowing team, was awarded one of the
nation's 32 Rhodes Scholarships for academic achievement and civic
leadership. Jose Vargas, a Loyola student, was also awarded a
Rhodes Scholarship in 1999.
First-class facilities are the rule with MAAC schools, as teams regularly play in top-notch arenas, such as Madison Square Garden, the
IZOD Center, HSBC Arena, Times Union Center, the Arena at Harbor
Yard and Sovereign Bank Arena. The other MAAC championships
boast their share of outstanding locales as well, such as the fabled
Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx, where the cross country championships are contested, and Waterfront Park in Trenton, home of the
baseball championship. This year, the MAAC will take its Cross
Country Championships to Orlando, Florida, where it will conduct its
post-season championships at Disney's Wide World of Sports
Complex. In 2009, the MAAC Women's Soccer Championship will
be at Walt Disney World. The MAAC Men's and Women's Golf
Championships will move to Celebration Golf Club, located in
Celebration, Florida, beginning in 2009.
In the past several years, a number of the MAAC schools have also
enjoyed success in NCAA Championships. MAAC schools have
made a total of 72 NIT appearances and 41 NCAA appearances. In
addition, Rider University represented the league last season in the
inaugural College Basketball Invitational (CBI). Combined with
recent bracket expansion in several sports, the MAAC possesses 12
automatic bids in men's and women's basketball, baseball, softball,
men's and women's soccer, volleyball, men's golf, men's and
women's tennis, women's water polo and men's lacrosse. In 2007,
the Marist women's basketball team advanced to the Sweet 16
before falling to the eventual National Champion, the University of
Tennessee. Last fall, the Iona College men's cross country team finished second at the 2007 NCAA Division I Cross Country
Championships. Canisius softball, Manhattan track, Manhattan and
Marist baseball and Loyola soccer and lacrosse have also flourished
on the national stage.
The MAAC has also been a leader in the forefront of technology,
expanding the notoriety of the league into cyberspace. In 2007, the
league retained XOS Technologies, Inc., to sponsor the MAAC web
page. Launched in November 1999, www.maacsports.com has
been a great success, providing fans with up-to-date contest results,
fan polls and an online merchandise store.
The MAAC President for the 2008-2009 academic year is Rev. Brian
F. Linnane, S.J., the President of Loyola College. The Vice-President
is Rev. Jeffrey von Arx, S.J., the President of Fairfield University. Pat
Lyons, Director of Athletics at Iona College, will chair the Committee
on Athletic Administration, and Sandra Taylor, Associate Athletics
Director/Senior Woman Administrator at Manhattan College will
serve as Vice Chair.
Academics and Athletics
The MAAC prides itself on the accomplishments of its student-athletes in the classroom, as well as on the field. Mary Beth Riley, a
1991 graduate of Canisius, was the first recipient of the NCAA

EXPANDING MARIST COLLEGE
The last decade has brought significant additions
to Marist’s physical plant to meet the academic,
recreational, and housing needs of the College
community. In 1997, the addition of a new fitness center in the James J. McCann Recreation
Center provided state-of-the-art cardiovascular
and weight training equipment to students, faculty, and staff. An “East Campus” was developed
across Route 9, with three sets of townhouses
providing 750 beds opening to students in 1997,
2000, and 2005, along with a mini-market and a
fitness center. Ground was broken in September
2007for additional townhouses offering 250 single bedrooms.
The 83,000-square-foot James A. Cannavino
Library, built on a hill overlooking the campus
green and Hudson River, became the focal point
of the campus when it opened in January 2000.
The granite and sandstone structure combines
the best aspects of traditional libraries with a
sophisticated technology infrastructure that
allows Marist students to access information
electronically on campus and around the world.
The building encompasses all the features necessary to create and sustain a digital library and features collaborative digital work rooms for producing and capturing content, more than 200 workstations, five computerized classrooms, and a
WiFi network. The library also offers a unique
level of integrated service to support students in
pursuing their educational goals. A host of programs ranging from career advancement to international education are located on the library’s
third floor, reflecting the new role of libraries in
26
higher education as collaborative learning centers.
The adjacent chapel was renovated in 2000, with
new heating and air conditioning systems and
carpeting installed. An artist was also commissioned to create stained glass windows, put in
place in 2002, to enhance the beauty of this
chapel-in-the-round.
In the summer of 2005, in addition to hosting
the Hudson Valley’s first Empire State Games,
Marist began construction on a tennis facility.
The courts have brought the great tradition of
Marist’s men’s and women’s varsity tennis squads
home to the riverside campus and also provide
increased recreational offerings to the nearly
4,300 undergraduates currently studying at
Marist.
The Deco II playing surface at Marist is used at
only two other locations in the region: the United
States Tennis Association’s facility in Flushing
Meadows, home of the U.S. Open, and the
United States Military Academy at West Point. In
October 2007, Tenney Stadium at Leonidoff Field
opened. The new stadium features several mod-
A major academic building, four-story Fontaine
Hall, was completed in spring 2000. The 33,000square-foot edifice, named for Marist President
Emeritus Bro. Paul Ambrose Fontaine, FMS, houses the School of Liberal Arts faculty offices and
classrooms, a black box theatre, the nationally
known Marist Institute for Public Opinion, and
one of the nation’s leading regional history studies
programs, the Hudson River Valley Institute, designated by the Hudson River Valley National
Heritage Area as its academic arm. Fontaine Hall is
also home to the Office of College Advancement,
which includes the Office of Alumni Relations and
Office of Public Affairs. Later in 2000, Marist’s
Fine Arts Department and Art Gallery moved to
new quarters on the campus. The 12,500-squarefoot building, a former steel plant, offers open
space, high ceilings, and abundant natural light
ideal for housing five studio classrooms dedicated
to design, photography, drawing, painting, sculpture, and digital media.
The year 2000 marked the opening of Marist’s
new Fishkill Center, located at Interstate 84 and
Route 9 to serve students who live in southern
Dutchess County and work in Connecticut,
Westchester County, and New York City. The facility includes four classrooms and two computer
labs that offer full access to Marist’s vast digital
library resources.
The space also features a lounge area with ports
for student laptops and a study area equipped
with computers.
Longview Park, a 12-acre parcel along the banks
of the Hudson, recently opened to the general
public. The park, which also houses two boathouses, was the site of the Intercollegiate Rowing
Association Regatta, the national championships
of rowing, from 1895 until 1949. The site, the
home of the champion Marist men’s and women’s
crew teams, still hosts intercollegiate and interscholastic crew meets and provides visitors with
scenic vistas of the historic Hudson River Valley
that have inspired presidents, painters, and poets.
Marist opened its first campus abroad earlier this
year. Students may now earn a four-year bachelor’s degree in Florence, Italy. Through a unique
partnership between Marist College and Scuola
Lorenzo de Medici, the College offers bachelor’s
degrees in seven academic disciplines: studio art;
art history; fashion design; English with a concentration in literature; interior design; conservation
studies/restoration; and digital media. The site in
Florence was approved by the Middle States
Commission on Higher Education as Marist’s first
branch campus.
MARIST COLLEGE RECOGNITION
Marist’s leadership in using technology in support
of education has brought the College increased
prominence. In 2006, Forbes and The Princeton
Review named Marist one of the 25 most connected campuses in the country. Marist has been
recognized by CAUSE, the association for managing and using information resources in higher
education, with its Excellence in Campus
Networking award. This distinction honored

character development. Marist was also named
to the Templeton Honor Roll, a select list of 100
colleges and universities recognized for their
record of commitment to inspiring students to

guides including those published by Barron’s, U.S.
News and World Report and The Princeton
Review. The Princeton Review also named
Marist’s School of Management one of the best
290 business schools in the country. The
College’s business programs are accredited by

Marist works on a number of joint projects with
both the IBM Corporation and the Franklin
Delano Roosevelt Presidential Library in neighboring Hyde Park, New York. The FDR Library and
Digital Archives at www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu are
the result of a cooperative effort by Marist, the
FDR Library, and IBM to provide the first comprehensive electronic access to a significant portion
of a presidential library’s holdings.
Marist has been designated a College Applied
Research and Technology Center by the New
York State Office of Science, Technology, and
Academic Research, ranking the College among
the most advanced technological institutions in

initiative founded to create open-source software
for higher education by institutions including the
University of Michigan, Indiana University, the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and
Stanford University.

RED FOXES
WHY THE RED FOXES
A 1961 meeting marked both the birth of
the Marist College basketball team and the
adoption of ‘Red Foxes’ as the official nickname and mascot. Athletic Director Brother
William Murphy, decided to organize a varsity basketball team to play scheduled games
against other schools and thought a nickname and logo would be appropriate.
While glancing at a sports catalog, Br.
Murphy noticed a reynard, more commonly
known as a red fox, on the cover of the
book. He decided this fury little creature,
indigenous to the Hudson Valley, was to
become the mascot and logo of all Marist
College teams.
Br. Murphy to choose the general term ‘Red
Foxes.’
THE COLLEGE SEAL
The circular monogram represents the official
seal of Marist College. The date 1929 marks
the year in which Marist College received its
first charter as an accredited Academic
Institution. The large ‘M’ in the center is the
traditional symbol of the Marist
brothers. The 12 stars, which appear about
the ‘M’, are a scriptural symbol of the
Blessed Virgin, to whom the Marist Brothers
are devoted. The Latin inscription within the
seal “Orare et Laborare,”
may be translated “to pray and to work,”
the original motto of the college.
The reynard comes from a great medieval
cycle of stories that originated in the Low
Countries, northern France and western
Germany. The rarity of the word prompted

Settled in the late 1600s by the Dutch, Poughkeepsie was first
organized as a town in 1788. It was in this year that the U.S.
Constitution was officially ratified there by the state of New
York, as Poughkeepsie was serving at that time as the temporary state capital. In 1799, the city of Poughkeepsie was taken
off the town of the same name and organized separately as a
village, later to become incorporated (in 1854) as a city.

The city’s name is derived from the phonetic translation of an
Algonquian Indian term variously interpreted as meaning
“waterfall,” “pleasant harbor,” or “campsite by small water.”
In addition to Marist College, the Town of Poughkeepsie is
home to Vassar College and Dutchess Community College.

A T H L E T I C S
Tim Murray was hired as Director of Athletics at Marist College on
Feb. 17, 1995. His athletic paradigm of commitment, leadership, integrity,
discipline and accountability has proven to be a model for unprecedented
success and growth for Marist athletics during his tenure.
Under Murray’s direction, Marist athletics has undergone exceptional
growth and achievement since joining the Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference in 1997, becoming one of the most competitive programs in
the MAAC. The Red Foxes are the only school in conference history to win
four consecutive MAAC Commissioner’s Cups, awarded as a symbol of
overall excellence in athletics, while capturing the Commissioner’s Cup in
eight out of 10 years in the conference. In addition, Murray has increased
the varsity sports from 20 to 23, adding women’s soccer, women’s lacrosse
and women’s water polo.
Murray has overseen the improvement of athletic facilities all over the
Marist campus in recent years.
In October 2007, Tenney
Stadium - the home of Marist
football, men’s soccer, women’s
soccer, men’s lacrosse and
women’s lacrosse - opened.
The stadium features the
DuraSpine FieldTurf playing surface, a modern press box, locker rooms, a concession stand
and unique lawn-style seating
for a capacity of 4,000. The
previous fall, the Marist Tennis
Pavilion opened on the East
Campus. The facility includes eight courts which have the Deco II playing
surface. In the winter of 2006, the McCann Center Field House renovation
project was completed. The project included the addition of bleacher seating behind both baskets and has given the men’s and women’s basketball
teams one of the top homecourt advantages in the conference. The improvement of facilities has also included upgrades to the boathouse and waterfront as well as the softball complex on the north end of campus.
Center for Student-Athlete Enhancement were added to the McCann Center.
The state-of-the-art sports medicine facility boasts a 1,600-square foot treatment room for rehabilitation and treatment and an added tape room to provide
for the first-class treatment of Marist student-athletes. The Center for StudentAthlete Enhancement has provided study carousels, meeting and private tutoring rooms, and state of the art computer technology needed for student-athletes to succeed in the challenging Marist curriculum.
A hallmark of Murray’s administration is his commitment to hosting conference
championships. In his tenure, Marist has hosted the Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference Championships in swimming and diving, baseball, softball,
women’s soccer and men’s and women’s lacrosse.
Murray’s devotion to the betterment of collegiate athletics is evident by his
involvement in various committees. He completed a term on the NCAA Division
I Football Championship Subdivision Eastern Advisory Committee and NCAA
Peer Review Committee, and was a member of the NCAA Championship
Cabinet from 2001-05. Murray is currently the chair of the MAAC Awards
Committee and MAAC Golf Committee. He previously served as chair of the
MAAC Committee on Athletic Administration, and is presently a member of the
MAAC Gender Equity Committee and MAAC Marketing Committee. He also
was chair of the Marist College annual fund in 2006 and 2007.
An active member of the Hudson River Valley community, Murray is on the
Board of Directors of the Mid-Hudson Civic Center and the New Horizons
Foundation. Murray began his association with Marist in 1986, when he served
as an assistant coach on the men’s basketball staff for three seasons and helped
guide the Red Foxes to an NCAA berth in 1987. He left Marist for six years to
serve as Associate Director of Athletics at Iona College.
Murray received his master’s degree in Sports Management from St. Thomas
University (Fla.), and a degree in Health and Physical Education from East
Stroudsburg University in 1985.
In August 1997, the doors were opened to the McCann Expansion, a $3
million, 20,000-square foot expansion project that houses a premiere 7,000A native of Bridgewater, N.J., Murray and his wife, Barbara, make their home in

ACADEMICS
Intercollegiate competition is a rewarding extracurricular activity that can
add a special dimension to a student’s life. The student-athlete at Marist
can utilize the department’s academic support programs, with the help of
the Academic Advisement staff to ensure that student-athletes successfully
balance their commitment of academics and athletics.
The staff, led by Director of Academic Advisement for Student-Athletes
Alyssa Gates, provides student-athletes with academic support through various means, including academic advisors, tutors, and study facilities, which
help the student-athlete to not only be successful in the classroom but also
to prepare them to be successful long after their playing careers are complete.
The Center for StudentAthlete Enhancement provides Marist student-athletes
with a venue in which to pursue academic and life skills.
The center provides 16 computers with access to research
databases, Internet resources,
study guides, as well as word
processing programs.
Students also have access to
a group-study conference
room and individual tutorial
rooms.
The department’s Academic
Advisement program has two
main focuses. The first is to
be a valuable resource to student athletes for all types of
collegiate information. The staff helps student-athletes create a class schedule which allows each individual to
maximize class participation without compromising their athletic commitments. The office also assists student athletes in identifying major and preprofessional programs which will prepare them for life in the postgraduate
world.
Additionally, the Academic Advisement office provides a web of academic
support. In this capacity, the staff monitors student-athletes’ progress
through the course of the semester. Should a student athlete begin to
struggle in a class, the professional staff intervenes and helps the individual
through the learning process by identifying problems and assisting in
organizing tutorials and study hall sessions to help the student better
understand class material and improve study skills.
The staff works cooperatively with Marist’s National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) Faculty Representative Dr. John Ritschdorff to help student-athletes prioritize time so as not to be overwhelmed by the adjustment to college life. They provide assistance for the student-athlete, balanc-
34
ing the rigors of academic and athletic demands.
In conjunction with that goal, Marist has implemented the CHAMPS/Life
Skills Program to provide student athletes with the opportunity to experience increased academic and personal success. The program is designed to
give the student athletes the support and skills needed to become effective
citizens, inspired leaders and motivated activists after graduation from college.
The CHAMPS/Life Skills program focuses on five areas of Commitment:
Academic Excellence, Athletic Excellence, Personal Development, Career
Development and Community Service. The Department of Athletics provides
seminars on Violence Prevention, Drug & Alcohol Education, Nutrition &
Eating Disorders, Career Development as
well as a Faculty Mentor Program and
Community Service projects.
As part of the Marist College CHAMPS/Life
Skills Program, two student-athletes are
selected by the NCAA to attend the
Foundation Leadership Conference each
year. The mission of the NCAA Foundation
Leadership Conference is to provide student-athlete leaders with
a multitude of challenging, thought-provoking activities that will enable them to
become agents of change on their campuses and in their communities. As a result
of participation, the studentathletes will enhance their communication,
decision-making, problem-solving, criticalthinking and collaborative skills.
Marist Vice President of Student Affairs
Deb DiCaprio is an avid supporter of the Academic Advisement Program.
DiCaprio views each participant, at whatever level of competition, as a student-athlete, a person who is first and foremost a student, but who also
extends and heightens his or her undergraduate
experience through personal fitness and team dedication.
ACADEMIC SUCCESS
Athletic accomplishments not only occur on the field, but are also mirrored
in the achievements in the classroom as well. Marist has led the Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference in students named to the conference’s academic honor roll for seven consecutive years. To earn that honor the studentathlete must successfully maintain a 3.2 or higher cumulative GPA, while
balancing a
rigorous academic and athletic schedule. This past year, Mike Rolek of cross
country/track & field became the first student-athlete in school history to
earn an NCAA postgraduate scholarship.
As the Red Foxes strive to excel in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference
(MAAC), Marist Athletics has completed another piece of the puzzle in pursuit of that goal. Following the addition of the Fitness Center and the addition of women’s water polo as its 23rd varsity sport, Marist again responded to the increasing competitiveness of the MAAC by expanding its Sports
Medicine facility, which opened fully in the Spring of 2001.
The Sports Medicine facility offers Marist athletes the best treatment available with the most technologically advanced equipment and modalities, as
well as a full staff of well-qualified Sports Medicine professionals.
The $350,000 facility, which
was made possible through
the help of a generous
$200,000 donation from
Team Physician and
Orthopedist Dr. Michael
Maynard, consists of two
separate rooms. The Sports
Medicine facility is three
times the size of the facility
it replaced, and encompasses more than 2,100 square feet of space over
two rooms. The newest portion of the training room is a 1,600-square foot
treatment room, while the former facility has been converted into a 500
square foot
taping and equipment room.
The facility includes eight treatment tables, two times the number of
modalities in the original facility, a distinct rehabilitation, whirlpool, and taping area, and three new offices, including a doctor’s examination room. The
ability of the training room staff to diagnosis and treat student athlete
injuries is enhanced by the computers systems being networked throughout
the facility. This allows the staff to better maintain student-athlete medical
records and provided more efficient service and information to
the athletic department’s medical
staff.
In addition to the physical
changes to the training room,
Marist has also begun the implementation of an athletic training
curriculum to the academics program. This program, which requires a strong foundation in both basic science and practical experience working with athletes, began in the Fall of
2000. The athletic training program combines a rigorous course load with
internships that prepare the Student Trainers for a successful career in
Athletic Training. Graduates will also be eligible to sit for the certification
examination administered by the National Athletic Trainers’ Association
Board of Certification. This new curriculum and the new facility complement each other. The curriculum also brings athletic training students to the
program, allowing it to be an educational facility as well as a treatment
facility.
The new athletic training curriculum benefits the Marist student-athletes, by
encouraging and allowing the involvement of Athletic Trainer Student in the
day-to-day operations of the Sports Medicine staff.
“Marist is committed to athletic as well as academic excellence,” said
Director of Athletics Tim Murray. “This facility greatly enhances our athletes’
ability to compete at the highest level.”
DR. MICHAEL J. MAYNARD
The Dr. Michael J. Maynard Center for Sports Medicine has come to fruition
through the generous donation of Dr. Michael J. Maynard, longtime Team
Physician and Orthopedist for the Marist Athletic Department.
After graduating in the top one percent of the United States Naval
Academy, Class of 1975, he attended the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology for two years, before finishing his medical degree at Cornell
University in 1985. An attending surgeon at The Hospital for Special Surgery
in New York City, Maynard won received the O’Donoghue Award, the top
award in Sports Medicine research, from the American Orthopedic Society
for Sports Medicine.
Maynard has been serving Marist and its student athletes since 1991. He
currently owns and practices in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. at Hudson Valley
Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, directly across from the Marist Campus.
Maynard resides in Manhattan and has a daughter, Rachel.
STAFFING
The Dr. Michael J. Maynard Center for Sports Medicine is staffed by three
full-time athletic trainers and one graduate assistant, led by Coordinator of
Sports Medicine Glenn Marinelli. As always, the training room is supplemented by students of the Athletic Training program offered by the College.
The Marist Sports Medicine Staff and Athletic Department would like to
thank the following medical personal who serve all the Marist student-athletes:
Dr. Mark Steenbergen, General Practice
Dr. Michael J. Maynard, Orthopedics

James J. McCann Center
Answering the needs of Marist College’s rapid growth, a state-of-theart, $3 million, 20,000-square-foot Fitness Center was completed in
the fall of 1997, during a major renovation to the James J. McCann
Recreation Center for Marist Athletics.
Recognized as one of the premier fitness centers in the Northeast,
the facility offers Marist athletes and students some of the most
technologically advanced strength and conditioning equipment on
the market.
“Marist students enjoy one of the best recreational facilities in the
Northeast,” Director of Athletics Tim Murray said. “Whether you are
an athlete preparing for a MAAC contest, or a student pursuing the
benefits of a lifelong commitment to recreational sports, the McCann
Center provides the space, the equipment and the trained staff to
help you achieve your
goals.”
In addition to an 11,000square-foot multipurpose
gym featuring two midsized basketball courts,
one full-sized basketball
court, and two volleyball
courts, the fitness center
also provides a 9,000square-foot strength and conditioning facility. The 4,300-square-foot
lower level offers Wynmor free weights featuring nine Husker Power
Racks, and a pair of Olympic Lifting Platforms. Additionally, the
4,700-square-foot cardiovascular loft, which overlooks both the free
weights and recreational gym areas, combines 16 pieces of TrotterGalaleo equipment with a hardwood aerobics/dance floor, as well as
more than 30 cardiovascular machines, including eight treadmills, six
36
EFX Cross Trainers,
10 bicycles and 10
stair masters.
The philosophy
surrounding the
strength and
conditioning program
is based on the concept of building the total athlete. In pursuit
of the strongest and best conditioned athletes, Marist has implemented a year-round training program for student athletes,
which encompasses preseason, in-season and out of season
training protocols.
Preseason training begins four to five months prior to intercollegiate competition, in order to be most effective. Lifting, sprinting, jumping, and plyometrics are all activities that when done
properly, will build powerful muscles for the athletes, and are the
key ingredients in the preseason training. As the season arrives
and continues, it is essential that the student-athletes maintain
the base that they have built. Marist athletes are active in weight
lifting and conditioning during the season to maintain power,
speed, and strength. Marist strength and conditioning personnel,
coaches and athletes immediately evaluate the program’s effectiveness at the end of each season in order to ensure continued
development of sport-specific training programs from year to
year.
“Marist is committed to providing our student athletes opportunities of the highest caliber,” Murray said. “This complex assists
our student-athletes in achieving and maintaining a level of fitness necessary to be competitive at the highest level.”
