Built in the early 1930s, Kidd Fieldhas been home to several All-Ameri-cans, national champions, nationalrecord-holders and Olympians.

Named after UTEP (then Texas Col-lege of Mines and Metallurgy) pro-fessor and athletic booster John W.Kidd, the facility was shared with theUTEP football team until 1962, whenthe facility became sole home to thetrack and field team.

The track features an eight-laneMondo Track, the same sur faceused for the 2004 Athens OlympicGames. The track was made pos-sible by generous donations fromWayne and Russ Vandenburg of EPTManagement and Mark Fry.

In 2003, UTEP renovated its of-fices and locker room and alsoadded a student-athlete lounge.

The lit facility also houses throwsand jumps arenas, making Kidd Fieldone of the top track-only complexesin the country. Improvements con-tinue to reshape the complex, asnew aluminum bleachers were addedin 2002. During the summer of2004, the track was repainted.

Kidd Field will be the site of threehome meets this season. The Min-ers will open the outdoor campaignwith the Springtime Invitational onApril 1. Then UTEP will host thehighly-regarded UTEP Invitational onApril 15. UTEP will hold the Confer-ence USA Championships from May10-13.

Record times have always beensynonymous with Kidd Field. At the1994 UTEP Invitational, former MinerOlapade Adeniken set the Kidd Field100-meter record, a blazing 9.95seconds. Obadele Thompson, thenjust a freshman, set the world junior100 record in the same race with atime of 10.08.

In 1996, Thompson topped hismark in the 100 with a wind-aided9.69, the fastest performance un-der any conditions in history.

Bob KitchensHead Coach

In 17 seasons at the helm of the UTEP track andfield program, head coach Bob Kitchens has continu-ally led the Miners into the forefront of the nationalpicture while mentoring gold medalists both on thetrack and in the classroom.

He has been the architect behind UTEP regainingname recognition as a dominant track and field pro-gram throughout the world.

Since being hired as the UTEP head coach in Au-gust of 1988, he has accumulated a spectacularcoaching resume. Kitchens has produced 106 out-door All-Americans, 60 indoor All-Americans, 10 crosscountry All-Americans and his athletes hold 16 ofthe school’s indoor records and 25 of the outdoorrecords. He has led the Miners to six top-five NCAAfinishes (four indoor, two outdoor) and nine confer-ence titles (four outdoors, three indoors, two crosscountry). Kitchens was honored seven times by theWestern Athletic Conference as the Coach of the Year.He has overseen the training of 18 NCAA champi-ons, 176 NCAA All-Americans and 262 conferencechampions. He has also sent 22 Miners to competein the Olympics, including silver medalist OlapadeAdeniken (1992, 400 relay) and bronze medalists

Obadele Thompson (2000, 100) and Aaron Egbele(2004, 400 relay).

Kitchens has made a career out of molding cham-pions and has become one of the most highly-re-garded track and field coaches in the country. In 36years as a head coach his expertise has produced210 NCAA All-Americans, 21 NCAA champions, 25Olympians and 355 conference champions. Histeams have finished in the top 20 at the NCAA cham-pionships 27 times, and he has overseen the devel-opment of 11 teams which have gone on to win con-ference titles.

Over the years, Kitchens has had the knack ofturning the raw talented into the world’s elite. Hecoached the world junior record holder in the out-door 100-meter (10.08 by Obadele Thompson) and200-meter (20.07 by Lorenzo Daniel) dashes and pro-duced the world record holders in the indoor 55-meter(5.99 by Thompson) and 100-meter dashes. Hisathletes set NCAA indoor and outdoor championshiprecords in the 200 with Thompson running 20.36indoors in 1996 (since been broken) and Daniel run-ning 19.87 outdoors in 1988.

Kitchens has made the sprinting events his forte.At UTEP he has coached eight NCAA champions andhad 76 athletes gain NCAA All-America honors -- anaverage of 4.5 per year -- in sprinting events.

After years of success in the Western AthleticConference, Kitchens will look to make his mark ona new field of competition presented by ConferenceUSA in 2006.

In 2005, Kitchens helped the Miners close outWestern Athletic Conference tenure in style. UTEPswept the men’s indoor and outdoor titles. The Minermen finished 12th at the NCAA Outdoor Champion-ships behind Mircea Bogdan’s gold medal in thesteeplechase and Mickael Hanany’s silver medal inthe high jump. During the indoor season, AdrianaPirtea captured the silver medal in the 3,000-meterrun at the NCAA Championships.

Since the inception of the regional meet conceptin 2003, Kitchens has had 41 point winners and fourNCAA Midwest Regional champions.

The Miners were the national runner-up in 1992with Adeniken winning the 100 and 200 titles andcurrent assistant coach Mika Laaksonen taking thegold in the hammer. Adeniken set the NCAA 100meet record in 9.97 and was also the world indoorrecord holder in the 100 under Kitchens.

Adeniken was not the only Miner to win both the100 and 200 at the NCAA Championships in the sameyear under Kitchens’ guidance. Thompson pulled offthe impressive double during the 1997 season.

Kitchens has also had a fair share of success sto-ries. In 2003, Kitchens trained former walk-on AaronEgbele to All-America honors in the indoor 200 andin both the 100 and 200 outdoors. Egbele, who con-tinues to run professionally, later earned the Olym-pic bronze medal at the 2004 Athens Olympic Gamesas part of Nigeria’s 400 relay.

Building successful track and field programs hasbecome second nature to Kitchens. He came to UTEPfollowing a nine-year tenure at Mississippi State,where he produced some of the most talented sprint-ers in the country. Among his various feats at Mis-

sissippi State, Kitchens coached 28 NCAA All-Americans including three nationalchampions. His athletes set 34 school records (18 outdoors, 16 indoors) andtwo NCAA records. One of the highlights of his coaching career came when his1,600 relay won the 1982 NCAA outdoor gold, the first national title of his ca-reer.

In 1988 Lorenzo Daniel set the collegiate record of 19.87, winning the 200 atthe NCAA Championships. The record still stands today. Daniels also broke theworld junior record in the 200 and established the NCAA record in the 300 underKitchens.

At Mississippi State he also started the women’s program in 1986 and imme-diately produced three All-Americans and one Olympian.

Kitchens began his head coaching career at West Texas A&M, serving in thatcapacity from 1968-79. Kitchens transformed a program which at first con-sisted of mostly walk-on athletes into a winner. He quickly developed the pro-gram and produced six NCAA All-Americans and 70 Missouri Valley Conferencechampions. He was named the MVC Coach of the Year after leading the Buffa-loes to the 1977 MVC cross country and the 1979 MVC indoor titles. Bothteams dethroned national-power Southern Illinois, which had won each previousMVC title in the 1970s.

In addition to his coaching duties at West Texas A&M, Kitchens taught bowl-ing, tennis, racquetball and weight training as an instructor in the department ofphysical education. He earned his master’s degree in education from WestTexas A&M in 1970.

A four-year member of the track and field team at Texas Tech, Kitchens gaineda scholarship after first coming to the program as a walk on. He earned threeletters, running the 100 and 200 as well as the sprint relays for the Red Raiders.After exhausting his eligibility he continued to work with the track and field pro-gram as a student assistant coach while he finished his degree in education.

Kitchens was born in Plainview, Texas, a small community located on the highTexas plains. He was raised on a ranch outside Silverton, Texas, and lettered inboth track and football at Silverton High School.

Kitchens is a member of the prestigious Drake Relays Hall of Fame and theWest Texas A&M Athletic Hall of Champions.

The University of Texas at El Paso is paving the road to success for thousandsof students in the region and mapping the future of higher education across thenation.

We’re no strangers to the task.In 1966, UTEP -- then named Texas Western College -- changed the face of

collegiate athletics.An upstart squad of five African-American players beat Kentucky to win the

NCAA basketball championship, breaking color barriers in college sports. Thishistorical event is being depicted in the Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer movie “GloryRoad,” expected in theaters in early 2006.

Today’s UTEP, located in the heart of the U.S.-Mexico border, is again breakingbarriers and, this time, changing the face of higher education.

Nearly 72 percent of our student body is Hispanic, and another 10 percentare Mexican nationals. The majority are first-generation college students.

UTEP has embraced this not as a challenge, but as an opportunity to provideaccess and excellence in higher education. For many of our students, the road toglory begins here.

We rank second in the nation awarding undergraduate degrees to Hispanics.We are the country’s only doctoral research intensive university with a studentbody that’s predominantly Mexican-American.

UTEP offers more than 80 bachelor’s degrees, more than 70 master’s-leveldegrees and programs and 13 doctoral degrees – and counting.

We’re experiencing unprecedented growth — record enrollments of nearly 20,000students, a $50 million building boom and nearly $35 million in research a year.

Top-Tier ResearchWe rank second in federal research spending among all UT System academic

institutions. With new labs and classrooms to suppor t our rapidly expandingacademic and research programs, we’re gearing up for more.

That’s a solid start to UTEP’s goal of becoming a top-tier research university— exclusive membership that requires world-class faculty, the latest in researchequipment and facilities, and $100 million a year in research spending.

This spring alone, UTEP received a $169 million in-kind donation of computer-aided engineering software and equipment and launched a new high-capacity networkthat opens the door to unprecedented collaboration between numerous universitiesand research centers across the U.S. and Mexico.

UTEP was one of only 11 universities nationwide to receive a $5 million“Teachers for a New Era” research grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York.The grant will help UTEP become a national model for teacher education programs.

Campus Setting: A HistoryUTEP has long been a major player in the development of the El Paso

community.The school started in 1914 as the Texas College of Mines and Metallurgy.

After a fire destroyed the school’s Main Buidling, a cluster of castles began to bebuilt along El Paso’s mountains. The buildings’ architecture was derived from anarticle on Bhutan in “National Geographic” and today, the campus continues toresemble the Himalayan kingdom.

In 1949, the school became Texas Western College and in 1967 – a yearafter TWC won the 1966 NCAA basketball championship – the name was changedto the University of Texas at El Paso.

Today, key university athletic and entertainment facilities include the 51,500-seat Sun Bowl Stadium; the 12,000-seat Don Haskins Center; the Swimming andFitness Center; and the Larry K. Durham Sports Center, a state-of-the-art athleticsand kinesiology complex. The university also boasts a six-story University Library, astate-of-the-art Undergraduate Learning Center, and the Stanlee and Gerald RubinCenter for the Visual Arts inaugurated in September 2004.

A new Academic Services Building opened this spring, and a BiosciencesBuilding, an addition to the Engineering Building and the Paso del Norte Researchand Business Complex are not far behind. A five-level garage east of the UnionBuilding and Phase II of Miner Village student housing are planned for the nearfuture.

Counting to 100With these and many more accomplishments to boot, UTEP last year cel-

ebrated its 90th anniversary. With that benchmark, the Centennial Commission wasformed and charged with developing a vision for the university in 2014 – our 100thanniversary. The Commission of 100 individuals this fall will present their report tothe community and recommend long-range goals and strategies to achieve them.

Over the past 90-plus years, we’ve paved the way to success for more than76,500 graduates.

Together we will continue to mine the way for the thousands more who willbecome proud UTEP alumni over the next decade.

Go Miners!

“My job is to graduate as many athletes as we can --100 percent is the goal.”— Head Coach Bob Kitchens

The MINER ATHLETE ACADEMIC CENTER (MAAC) isthe first center of its kind at UTEP and is convenientlylocated in the center of campus. The MAAC was cre-ated to provide progressive academic services to stu-dent-athletes to ensure compliance with UTEP, Confer-ence USA and NCAA academic eligibility standards. TheMAAC has expanded its role to promote the individualand educational goals of each UTEP student-athlete.Each sport is assigned an athletic academic advisorwhose primary responsibility is to serve as an advisorand mentor for student-athletes; to assist with educa-tional goal setting, degree plans, and course selection;and to calculate and certify NCAA academic eligibility.Student-athletes are advised every semester by boththeir respective colleges and their athletic academicadvisors in the MAAC.

The MAAC recognizes that one of student-athletes' great-est challenges is to maintain the delicate balance be-tween academics and athletics. In response to suchchallenges, the MAAC has implemented its Three-PartAcademic Support Program to provide a solid founda-tion from which student-athletes will cultivate the skillsneeded to successfully complete their college experi-ence. The program requires student-athletes to meetwith their appointed advisor weekly; offers one-on-onetutoring; and provides a large study area and computerlab for study hall. The MAAC computer lab houses 25state-of-the-art "thin client" computers with the latestsoftware, complete internet access and two laser print-ers.
