Derrick Johnson (Charleston, W.Va.) capped off a stellar four-year career as a 49er with his best performances during this, his last year of eligibility. Johnson became the first-ever sprint event athlete to earn a berth to an NCAA Champion-ship, when he qualified in the 60-dash. “DJ” finished ninth overall on the University of Arkansas’ track, narrowly miss-ing out on the final round but earning the school’s first-ever All-America award in a sprint event. Johnson had competed in both the 100 and 200 dashes at the 2004 NCAA Outdoor Championships but was making his first appearance at the indoor title meet. The award capped off a great indoor season for Johnson, who improved upon his own school records in the 55, 60 and 200 meter dashes. He earned his first C-USA title in the 60 and finished second in the 200.

Molly Kerin (Denver, Colo.) will forever be “the first” in many areas for Charlotte Track & Field. In 1994, she became the program’s first-ever All-American, earning notice in Cross Country. The following year, with the school’s entry into the newly-formed Conference USA, she became that league’s first-ever cross country champion. Kerin followed that up with her second consecutive All-American nod, making her the only 49er cross country athlete to have that distinction. As the league’s first-ever titlist, Kerin was selected to the C-USA All-Decade Team in 2004. She was also the first (and only) 49er to earn All-America notice both in cross country and on the track, earning All-American status for her perfor-mance in the 5,000-meter run.

Cassie Ficken (Conifer, Colo.), then a redshirt junior, had a remarkable indoor season in 2005. She was the Conference USA Female Performer of the Meet with three league titles, was chosen C-USA Scholar-Athlete of the Year, and became the first female distance event athlete in school history to compete at the NCAA Indoor Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas. She made the most of her opportunity, coming within just four seconds of the school’s first-ever national championship in any sport. Cassie ultimately finished sev-enth in the 3,000 at the NCAA Championships to earn an All-America award in her first-ever national competition, becom-ing the first female indoor All-American for Charlotte. It was the highest finish by any C-USA athlete at the meet, earning her the league’s Female Athlete of the Year award.

Sharonda Johnson (Raleigh, N.C.), then a sophomore, be-come the first woman to represent Charlotte at the NCAA Indoor Championships in 2004 and completed the effort by becoming the first 49er female with an All-America award in a jumping event. On her way to nationals she notched her first conference championship, winning the triple jump with a meet-record leap of 42’11”. A couple of months later she com-pleted the indoor-outdoor double, winning her second C-USA triple jump championship with a 42’5” effort at the outdoor championship. She doubled-up in 2007, earning All-America Honors again, this time during the indoor season, finishing a career best 11th at the NCAA Championships in Arkansas.

Rephel Martin (Dover, N.J.) earned All-America notice in the outdoor triple jump in 2000. At the time, he was the was the first men’s athlete to earn the honor on the track for Charlotte. The Conference USA Men’s Indoor Athlete of the Year in 2000, Martin was the league’s indoor long and triple jump champion. However, he saved his best performance for the final meet of the outdoor season. At the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Durham, N.C., Martin established a new school record with a distance of 53-feet, 0.75-inches (16.17 meters). He finished seventh overall. He is also the school’s indoor and outdoor triple jump record-holder.

Courtney Patterson (Fayetteville, N.C.) is a 2008 graduate of Charlotte who earned All-American honors following her 11th place performance at the 2006 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Patterson was the fifth-fastest runner in the second heat of her 100m race with a time of 11.49. In 2006, Patterson was also the Atlantic 10 Outdoor champion in the 100m event and later finished fifth in the East Region.

Will Montgomery (Fletcher, N.C.) is the only male track & field athlete in school history to earn multiple All-American honors, joining Molly Kerin and Shareese Woods as the only three-time winners in 49er history. Montgomery posted an impressive double in 2002, earning All-America notice in both the indoor and outdoor long jump. He finished 11th at the NCAA indoor meet in Arkansas, and was seventh overall at the outdoor championship in Baton Rouge, La. In 2001, Montgomery fin-ished sixth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Oregon. A four-time Conference USA Champion in the long jump (one indoor, three outdoor), he holds school records for both the indoor (25’, 10.25”) and outdoor (25’, 9.25”) long jump.

Pat Springs (Winston-Salem, N.C.) twice earned All-American honors in the long jump during the 2009 season. Springs leaped 20’2.25” at the 2009 Indoor NCAA Championship and continued her success into the 2009 Outdoor NCAA Champi-onship with a distance of 19’9.75” to finish in 10th place and once again earn All-American honors. She became only the third 49er in program history to earn All-American honors in both indoor and outdoor track and field during the same sports year. Springs is the most recent Charlotte All-Ameri-can and finished her career with eleven Atlantic 10 titles.

Kelly Travis (Livonia, Mich.) joined men’s teammate Kenneth Svendsen to give Charlotte two cross country All-America per-formances in 1999. It was the only year in school history in which two individuals earned All-America awards, and Travis joined Molly Kerin as the only women to earn All-America status for Charlotte in cross country. Travis, then a sophomore, fin-ished 30th overall at the NCAA National Cross Country Cham-pionships in Bloomington, Indiana. She was the second finisher from Conference USA that season. Travis earned her berth to the National Championship with a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Southeast Region Championship eight days earlier. She was second at the Conference USA Championships that year.

As a sophomore in 1999, Kenneth Svendsen (Drammen, Nor-way) earned the school’s only men’s cross country All-American distinction. He finished 25th at the NCAA Nationals that year, marking the highest-ever finish by any Conference USA men’s runner, after finishing in third place at the C-USA Champion-ships. Svendsen was chosen to the Conference USA All-Decade team in 2004. He earned all-conference recognition by finish-ing among the league’s top five runners at the C-USA Cham-pionship in each of his three seasons. He was second during his freshman season in 1998, earning Freshman of the Year honors and leading the 49ers to a then-best second place team finish. His performance still stands as the best-ever finish by a Charlotte men’s runner at the C-USA Championships.

Shareese Woods (Fort Lee, Va.) is the third Charlotte 49er ever to win three All-America awards, and the first female to win three track and field awards. She had the highest finish ever for a Niner at an NCAA Championship, finishing sixth in the 200m dash in the 2006 Outdoor Championships. She also earned a gold medal for the U.S. at the NACAC in the summer of 2006, running a leg of the 4x100m team, which set a meet-record time of 43.53 seconds in the event. Woods has repre-sented Charlotte at two indoor and two outdoor NCAA meets, competing in three different events in that span (200m, 400m, 4x100m). She has qualified for an NCAA Championship six times, more than anyone in school history.

Head Coach Robert Olesen en-ters his twelfth year overall at Charlotte, ninth as head coach, and has been the driving force be-hind the development of well-bal-anced men’s and women’s track & field and cross country programs that are highly competitive at the conference level and advance stu-dent-athletes to the highest levels of competition in the nation. Since joining the program, Ole-sen has helped the 49ers win fif-teen indoor & outdoor track and field league titles and a conference title in men’s cross country. From 2006 to 2009, Charlotte has swept all women’s conference titles. Ole-sen has been named A-10 Coach of the Year twelve times. To go along with his conference awards, Olesen has been named Southeast Region Men’s Indoor Coach of the Year twice (2008, 2009) and Southeast District Women’s Outdoor Coach of the Year once (2006). Under Olesen, Charlotte has garnered seventeen NCAA All-American honors from ten different individuals. Olesen guided Char-lotte’s first male track & field All-American (Rephel Martin, 2000) and women’s indoor All-Ameri-cans (Shareese Woods and Cassie Ficken, 2005), had four individu-als claim Conference USA Athlete of the Year Awards as well as an Academic All-American. In addition, over the last few years the 49ers track & field pro-gram has produced its first USA Junior National Team member for track and field (2001-Ian Dickin-son), World Junior Cross Country National Team member (2005, Nick Sunseri-Canada), its first Olym-pian (Abe Morlu-Liberia, 2000) and a gold-medal winner for the U.S. in international competition (Shareese Woods, at the NACAC in 2006) among other accolades.

Charlotte has sent individuals from both the men’s and women’s teams to the NCAA Championships under Olesen. For Olesen, who was an All-American in the triple jump at Illinois, the early emergence of NCAA All-Americans Rephel Martin (triple jump) and Will Montgomery (long jump) began a trend of excellence in the jumping events that continues today from last year’s All-American Pat Springs (long jump). Martin earned All-America honors at the 2000 NCAA Out-door Championships after being named Conference USA Athlete of the Year at the league’s indoor championships. Montgomery, a NCAA All-America in the long jump in 2001, earned All-America notice for both the indoor and outdoor seasons in 2002. After earning an invitation to compete for the United States at the NACAC Championships, he was ranked eighth nationally in the long jump by Track and Field News. Springs picked up All-America status in her senior season by placing 11th at 2009 NCAA Indoor Championship and 10th during the outdoor season. Most recently, Charlotte sent a school-record eight ath-letes to the 2009 NCAA Outdoor Championships with senior long jumper Pat Springs being the top 49er finisher with a 10th place finish for her second All-American performance of her senior year. Charlotte also saw standout sprinter Dar-

ius Law placed 14th in the 400m dash in his sophomore season. At the 2007 NCAA Cham-pionship, former 49er sprinter standout Shareese Woods came just two steps away from making the trip to Beijing for the 2008 Summer Games. Former Triple Jumper Sharonda Johnson was the first female All-American in a jumping event and recorded the feat twice during her career. Under Olesen’s tutelage, the Niners have won every confer-ence championship on the wom-en’s side since joining the Atlan-tic 10 in 2006 and have won the majority of the A-10 men’s titles with five. The 49ers have had an All-Conference jumper in every conference championship since Olesen’s arrival. As a field-event specialist, Olesen has had eight All-American performances in the jumps at Charlotte. Olesen is a 1990 graduate of the University of Illinois, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiol-ogy with a coaching endorse-ment. He garnered All-America honors in the triple jump in 1989 and was the Big Ten triple jump champ and the team MVP in 1990. Olesen, who first joined the Illini as a walk-on, earned four letters and competed in both the triple and long jumps. Olesen got his coaching start as a Graduate Assistant at Southwest Texas State in 1990. He served as assistant coach there from 1992-95, and earned his Master’s Degree in Physical Education from Southwest Tex-as State in 1995. While in Texas competing as a post-graduate, Olesen competed in the 1992 Olympic Trials in New Orleans. Olesen is a USA Track and Field level one certified coach as well as being level two certified in both the jumping and throwing events. In addition to his success on the track, Olesen was a member of the 1998 United States Olym-pic Bobsled team, helping the U.S. finish seventh in the two-man bobsled at the 1998 Olym-pics in Nagano, Japan. En route to this accomplishment, his sled teams accumulated eleven world cup medals, including two bronze at the 1997 World Championship, an Olympic Tri-als championship and a num-ber of U.S. Championships. His tenure with the team lasted from 1994-1998, during which he also earned the 1995-96 USOC Athlete of the Year Award and was a member of the 1996-97 USOC two-man bobsled team of the year. Olesen and his wife, Cindy, who was a four-time Big Ten high jump champion, have two children, Elizabeth and Thomas.

Ed Schlichter enters his first season as the cross country and distance coach for the Charlotte 49ers cross country and distance programs. Schlichter comes to Charlotte after spending the past two seasons as assistant track and field and cross country coach at the University of South Carolina Up-state. During his time at USC Upstate, Schlichter guided his athletes to great success during competition as

he coached and trained; four Atlantic Sun Conference cham-pions, eight All-Atlantic Sun Conference performances, the 2008 Women’s Indoor Track Atlantic Sun Most Outstanding Performer and two Conference Freshmen of the Year winners. Schlichter’s teams shattered records during his short ten-ure at USC Upstate as 17 records were broken in two years and 23 of the top 25 fastest times for women’s cross country were set. On the recruiting front, Schlichter was able to sign standout prospective athletes to National Letters of Intent even though USC Upstate was without an on-campus track facility and is ineligible to compete in NCAA Division I Championships until the fall of 2011. His student athletes also succeeded in the classroom as the women’s cross country team won the Athletics Department’s Highest Team GPA (3.536) for the Spring 2009 semester. Prior to joining the USC Upstate coaching staff, Schlichter served as assistant coach for the cross country and track and field programs at Charlotte for two years, 2005-07. As assistant coach with the 49ers, he helped lead the men’s and women’s track squads to the 2006 Atlantic 10 Indoor and Outdoor Track

championship. The women’s team repeated as indoor and out-door champions in 2007. Prior to joining the 49ers coaching staff, Schlichter was a distance runner for the 49ers’ cross country and track teams from 2000-05. He had a standout career with the 49ers and ranks among the program’s all-time top 10 in several distance categories. He was a seven-time All-Conference selection, earn-ing five awards in track and two in cross country. At the 2005 Raleigh Relays, Schlichter ran a 14:35 5k during his senior year. In 2004, he became the first runner in school history to be named Conference USA Male Athlete of the Year for cross country. He also earned team’s Most Valuable Player honors in 2004 for both cross country and track. He helped lead Charlotte to the conference championship in indoor track in 2001 and the league title in cross country in 2002, the first conference cham-pionship for both programs in school history. Schlichter grad-uated from Charlotte with a de-gree in English in May 2005. After graduation from UNC Charlotte, Schlichter went on to compete in several distance events including the 2005 New Haven 20k (1:03), 2006 Chicago Marathon (2:44), 2006 Houston Half-Marathon (1:07) and the 2007 Boston Marathon. To go along with his accomplishments as a coach and a stu-dent-athlete, Schlichter is USATF Level 1 Coaching Certified.

Timothy Vaught enters his second season as the sprints, hurdles and relays mentor following tremendous success in the Division I ranks in the Southeastern corridor. In his first year at Charlotte, the 49ers produced 23 conference champions in sprints, hurdles and relays as well as six NCAA All-Region performances and four NCAA Cham-

pionship competitors. He was named the 2009 NCAA South-east Region Indoor Women’s Assistant Coach of the Year. Vaught is a 2001 graduate of Western Carolina with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Sociology and a minor in Crim-inal Justice. While at WCU, he served as team captain of the track squad during his senior season, and earned All-Con-ference honors in the 4x100m and 4x400m relays and was a member of the 4x400m NCAA Championship qualifying team. His 4x400m unit was victorious in the Olympic Devel-opment section of the illustrious Penn Relays in 2001. While not on the track, Vaught was a member of the Cata-mount football team. A running back and defensive back by trade, Vaught mastered the concept of being a two-sport ath-lete by lettering twice in football. Before his days at WCU, he earned an Associates Degree in Art from Brevard College, where he was a two-time quali-fier for the NJCAA Track and Field Championships in the 200m and 400m dash events and the 4x100m and 4x400m relays. Vaught was named the Most Valuable Athlete for his outstanding accomplishments at Brevard. Vaught got his coaching start at his alma mater as a Graduate Assistant. While with the Catamounts, he assisted in coaching 11 All-Southern Conference performers includ-ing a pair of 4x400m relay teams. He also worked with six conference champions and a national provisional qualifier. Following his time at WCU, Vaught moved across the state

to Coastal Carolina for four seasons where he was the As-sistant Track and Field coach working with sprinters, jump-ers and hurdlers. During his four seasons in Conway, S.C., Vaught coached 33 Big South Conference champions. He mentored 30 NCAA Regional qualifiers, two NCAA All-Ameri-cans, and the 2005 Big South Female Athlete of the Year. Vaught’s success in the Big South was noticed by track and field power Florida State, and the Seminoles hired Vaught as their recruiting coordinator for the 2006-07 season. After his four year stint with the Chanticleers, Vaught land-ed at Florida State where he spent one season as the Semi-noles Multi-Event Coach and Recruiting Coordinator. While not helping to pull in top-rated track recruits to Tallahassee, Vaught helped football coach Bobby Bowden as a Speed De-velopment Consultant. During his brief time in Tal-lahassee, he signed three high school national champions and was a member of the coaching staff for the Seminoles ACC, East Regional and National Championship team in 2006. Following his short run at FSU, Vaught opened the P2 Peak Performance Training Center and coached a pair of Olympic Trial automatic quali-fiers in the triple jump as well as a 100m and 200m sprinter. He also helped train NFL athletes and NFL rookies in their preparations for the NFL Combine. A native of Sunset Beach, N.C., Vaught was a two-sport standout at West Brunswick High School, earning All-State and All-Conference honors in football and track and was the team MVP in track. As a senior in 1996, he earned the East-ern North Carolina “Toast of the Coast” Regional Runner of the Year award.

Kevin FitzpatrickAssistant Coach - Fourth SeasonThrows Coach

Zack ZidekTeam Manager

Kevin Fitzpatrick enters his fourth season at Charlotte and second as the Assistant Coach for Throws. Prior to being named the assistant coach for throws, Fitzpatrick worked as a volunteer coach for the 49ers. Fitzpatrick got his start in coaching in 1999 at Southwestern Commu-nity College in Chula Vista, Calif. while he was a resident-athlete at the Olympic Training Center in San

Diego. In his first year at Charlotte, he guided his athletes to conference and regional top ten finishes. In the 2006-07 sea-son, Coach Fitzpatrick volunteered on the staff and in his first season he coached the throwers to two school records, three A-10 conference runner-ups, and a slew of personal records. In December of 2006, Kevin attended and complet-ed his USA Track and Field level one coaching certification. In the summer of 2008 Fitzpatrick obtained his Nation-al Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach (CSCS) certification. Also during the off season he was promoted to Assistant Coach by Head Coach Bob Olesen to be in charge of recruitment and development of throws. This year he enters his second official season as throws coach for the 49ers. In the 2008-09 season, Coach Fitzpatrick helped the throws team to the next level as Charlotte picked up its first A-10 championship award when Jason Roberts was named A-10 Outdoor Field Performer of the Year for winning the shot put, runner-up at discus, and fifth in the hammer. Oth-

er all-conference honors that Charlotte picked up were jav-elin runner-up (Mike Moore), runner-up in the indoor shot (Jake Deaton), and discus third place (Jake Deaton). Other key contributors on the throws team were Sharonda Bailey placing 8th at weight throw and 7th in discus, Caitlin van Dodewaard 5th in indoor shot put and Lindsey Pate 4th in discus. In conjunction with the championship season, the school discus record was broken by Jason Roberts and Lindsey Pate. During his days in competi-tion, Fitzpatrick was ranked in the top ten in the United States for 12 out of 13 years.

The 2009-10 season looks to take off where the previous sea-son ended, when Charlotte sent a school record eleven total competitors to the NCAA Championship including eight to the outdoor competition, two to indoor championship and one to the cross country meet. The 49ers picked up two NCAA All-American performances when Pat Springs earned the honors, the first since 2007, at the indoor and outdoor championships in the long jump.

Coach Bob Olesen, entering his ninth season as head coach and twelfth overall, hopes to increase the number of national competitors for the 49ers and in effect take the 49er track program to the next level.

Women’s Sprints, Hurdles, RelaysOn the hurdling front, Charlotte is stacked and looks primed to repeat its 2009 feat of sweeping the 100m Hurdles at the A-10 Outdoor Championship. A-10 Champion in the 55m and 100m Hurdles, Sunita Brathwaite returns for her senior season and hopes to breakthrough on the national level by qualifying for the NCAA Championships.

Joining Brathwaite in the short-distance hurdles will be redshirt-junior Lanaire Lindo, who finished third in the A-10 100m hurdles, redshirt-freshman Ash-ley Bethune and junior Tacara Morrisey. In the 400m Hurdles, Shanice Jones and Cecily Young will be called up on to im-prove their finish from the 2009 season, when the duo placed sixth and sev-enth at the A-10 Outdoor Championship.

Moving over to the short-distance sprinters, Sir-rell Butler and Chalonda Silver are expected to be replace Pat Springs and Lamarra Currie as the next line of 49er short-sprinters. Butler placed third at last year’s 100m Dash behind Currie and Springs, while Silver placed fourth in the 200m Dash. Freshman Tif-fanie Downing is expected to bring an added punch for the 49ers in the short distance sprints.

Kortnie Coleman, Ebonie Cunningham, Olivia Brown and Yvonna Hines will be Charlotte’s main rotation in the 400m Dash and will look to improve from last year’s all-region per-formance in the 4x400m to the national stage this year. The quartet along with interchangeable parts, Tiffanie Downing, Shanice Jones, Chalonda Silver and Cecily Young, will be the driving force and are primed to make a run at the 4x400m record, set in 2005. Newcomers Charqweshia Tucker and Lauren Wilcox have the potential to add an extra boost to the Charlotte roster once the conference championships begin.

Charlotte will utilize its top four short sprinters to try and improve upon last season’s 4x100m team that finished 17th at the NCAA Outdoor Championship. Charlotte’s dis-tance medley relay and 4x800m relay squads both should be strong this season as several runners could be interchanged into different spots.

Men’s Sprints, Hurdles and RelaysLast season, Darius Law represented Charlotte at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 400m and this year Char-lotte is preparing to bring some more teammates with Law to Eugene, Oregon. Sam Jordan and Isaac McReynolds had spectacular freshman seasons for the Niners as the duo picked up Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year honors in the indoor (Jordan) and outdoor (McReynolds).

Coach Olesen expects the two to take the next step forward

by performing at the regional level in their respective events with Jordan in short sprints and relays and McReynolds in short hurdles, high jump and relays.

As for Law, Olesen expects him to take the next step from finishing 14th at last year’s national championship into All-American status by moving up spots and lowering his per-sonal best times.

Joining McReynolds in the short hurdles will be Korel Mack and Dewayne Chan-dler. The trio gives Charlotte the capa-bility of sweeping the short hurdles at the A-10 Champion-ships. Jordan will team up with Reg-gie Hill, who has re-covered from a hip injury, and Demario House, who redshirt-ed during last year’s outdoor season, to form the a talented group of short-dis-tance sprinters.

In the 400m Dash, Olesen expects a tandem of several run-ners to give Charlotte depth in the event as Handy Dawes, Jake Wainwright, Ryan Thompson, Andrew Shurland and Denzelle Lawson all give the Niners a legitimate threat in the 400. Moving over to the 400m Hurdles, Olesen expects Char-lotte to continue to improve as Wainwright, Derrick Eure, Cyrus Mojtabai and James Savoy return this season in the event.

The talent rich sprints and hurdles team will give coach Ole-sen and associate head coach Tim Vaught plenty of options when it comes to deciding upon relay squads.

Women’s DistanceCross country standout, Amanda Goetschius will look to transition her success to the track this year and add to her impressive list of accomplishments while at Charlotte. This year she will be a versatile runner for the Niners as she might compete in the 10,000m outdoor race all the way down to the mile run.

Keara Thomas, an NCAA region competitor in the 3,000m steeplechase last season, will try to make the jump from re-gional to national competitor in the event and will also be a force in the mile run. Kristin Mitchell and Aurora Trujillo, the 2009 NJCAA Outdoor 3,000m Steeplechase Champion, will give Charlotte three quality performers in the event.

Talented freshman, Maria Ruiz, could possibly compete in the steeplechase and will be another versatile runner for the Niners. Ruiz’s cross country season has been reminiscent of Goetschius’ first season at Charlotte and hopes are high for the native of Williamstown, N.J.

Jackie Ross and Christina Hobbs will mostly compete in the 800m and middle distance and will try to fill the void left by NCAA Competitor Aja Jackson. Ross and Hobbs will be joined by freshmen Ashley Edwards and Katie Holloway.

In the 3,000m and 5,000m, the 49ers will be lead by Char-lotte’s 5,000m indoor record holder, Amanda Goetschius, as well as Laura McCary, Janet Barry, Alyssa Bradley and a se-nior class of Tricia Brown and Justine Thompson. The upper classmen will try to leave their mark on the Niner program in their final year at Charlotte. Sarah Willingham is expected to compete in the 5,000m as well as the 10,000m and has been impressive early on in her cross country career.

Hurdler Lanaire Lindo returns for the 2009-10 season.

The 2009 Atlantic 10 Men’s Outdoor Rookie of the Year, Isaac McReynolds, holds the second fastest

time in the 55m Hurdles in schoool history.

Men’s DistanceThe men’s distance squad will be broken into two divisions this season as distance coach Ed Schlichter will have to nur-ture the freshman and newcomers to Charlotte as well as build on the experience brought back by the senior class.

Adu Dentamo and Chase Eckard will be the focal point of the distance and bring much needed experience to the team that will feature ten freshmen and one transfer. Joining Dentamo and Eckard will be senior Aaron Kauffman, redshirt senior Alan Ford and redshirt junior Dakota Lowery.

Those five runners will be looking to break through to poten-tial all-region performances with the possibility for Denta-mo and Eckard to make appearance on the national level. Dentamo and Eckard are versatile runners for the 49ers and will compete in multiple events, while Lowery will compete in steeplechase as well as other events.

Kauffman competed last year in 800m and 1500m to go along with relays and is expected to do the same this year. Andrew Barone and Javan Lapp will join Kauffman in the middle distances for the Niners.

The freshmen are a talented group of runners and are ex-tremely hard workers with the potential to bring great re-sults for the 49ers. Ross Roberson and Will Taylor finished in Charlotte’s top-five consistently during cross country sea-son and were joined by Daweet Dagnachew, David Eubanks, Ryan Rhodes and Daniel Stiefvater during the fall season.

Eleazar Garcia and Matthias Montgomery didn’t compete during cross country season, but could possibly contribute for Charlotte in the middle distances during track season. A transfer from Wyoming, Brian McGuire brings experience to the distance squad despite being a newcomer to the Char-lotte program.

Women’s FieldA trio of newcomers to the 49ers squad will boost the field events as Ranae Nelson, Alicia Gainey and Chelsea McLean come to the Queen City. Nelson, a long jumper, will be a pos-sible replacement for All-American Pat Springs, while Gainey comes to Charlotte as a heptathlete by registering points at last season’s SoCON Championship. McLean scored confer-ence points in the hammer throw as well as the weight throw and will add depth to the 49ers throws team.

Danielle Brown, a 2008 regional quali-fier in the triple jump, will recover from last season in which she fought through inju-ries during the year and hopes to score in long jump and triple jump at the confer-ence championships. Brown will also com-pete in the high jump for the Niners.

Lindsey Pate and Sha-ronda Bailey headline the throwing events along with McLean. Last year, Pate broke the discus throw record and will be looking to take a step up to the regional level in the event. Now in her senior season, Bailey will try and transition her success in the weight throw to the hammer throw and discus to enhance her repertoire.

Megan Boivin and Makenzie Mullinax both scored in the pole vault at last year’s conference championship and will try to increase their point production this season. Both look prom-

ising to add points for the 49ers and will be joined by Anna Malone, who returns from an injury during last season.

Men’s FieldThis season the field events could see several records broken with Charlotte returning a majority of its squad including four Atlantic 10 Champions from last season.

The throws squad will be highlighted by Jake Deaton, the 2009 indoor shot put runner-up, who returns after an impressive freshman season. He has taken large strides in improving during the summer and looks to make a large impact at the conference meet.

The 2009 Atlantic 10 Outdoor Field Performer of the Year, Jason Roberts, who claimed the outdoor shot put title and placed in two other events, will redshirt in the indoor sea-son in hopes to return during the outdoor season. They are joined by Jarryd Novotni, who returns after redshirting all of last season. Adding depth to the squad will be Alex Cruz, Brian Hill and freshman Andrew Byrd to go along with jav-elin throwers Tim Altman, Mike Moore and Ethan Kuster.

In the jumping events, Charlotte will be led by Jake Wainwright and Ryan Thompson with Wainwright specializing in the long jump and high jump, while Thompson fo-cuses on triple jump and long jump. Joshua Foster will compete in the horizontal jumps and comes back from a great summer when he qualified for the USATF Junior Championship in Triple Jump.

Juniors Lee Evans and Andre Con-ley, the 2009 A-10 indoor triple jump champion, bring depth to the squad and will be looking to score as many points as possible in their respective events. Dewayne Chan-dler will continue to develop his skills in the long jump, while also focusing on hurdles.

The pole vaulters are led by three A-10 scorers; Sam Hodapp, Macey Ruble and Jonathan Phillips with Hodapp leading the way by placing second at last year’s out-door conference meet. Sophomore Cameron George will also get his shot at competing for the Niners.

The combined squad consists of decathletes Daniel Potton and Robert Wilson who will try and break through into the conference points. Wainwright who is accomplished in sev-eral events will try his hand at the combined events to try and utilize his talents across the board.

Overall the 2009-10 season has all of the makings for an-other successful season in track and field with the addition of new pieces to the team and the returning student-athletes from previous championship seasons.

Atlantic 10 Indoor Champions Year-by-Year Men’s Women’s

Atlantic 10 Outdoor Champions Year-by-Year Men’s Women’s

On March 2, 1975, the idea of what is now the Atlantic 10 Conference was conceived. What started as an eight-school, men’s basketball-only affiliation has grown into a 14-university, 21-sport league that is universally hailed as one of the best conferences in the country. That growth and prominence is a direct result of the ideals and commit-ments of the member institutions of the Atlantic 10 - the University of Day-ton, Duquesne University, Fordham University, The George Washington Uni-versity, La Salle University, University of Massachusetts, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, University of Rhode Island, University of Richmond, St. Bonaventure University, Saint Joseph’s University, Saint Louis University, Temple University, and Xavier University. The 14 member institutions of the A-10 are united and strengthened by their diversity. Each is extraordinary in its educational mission, whether of a Catholic faith, a private university or a land grant institution. The varied pursuits of each member prove that there are many threads that weave the fabric for a great conference. The presidents and chancellors of Atlantic 10 institutions, in conjunction with Atlantic 10 Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade, have made a strong commitment to making the academic and athletics equation a successful one. Over the years, the league membership has strived to better recognize the ac-ademic accomplishments of its student-athletes. The Commissioner’s Honor Roll, which cites every Atlantic 10 student-athlete with a 3.5 grade point aver-age or better, recognized 1,162 student-athletes in the Fall 2008 while 1,164 were named to the Spring 2009 Honor Roll.

The league sponsors Academic All-Conference teams in each of its sports and honors one student-athlete per sport as the A-10 Student-Athlete of the Year. Moreover, the Atlantic 10 provides four postgraduate scholarship grants to qualified student-athletes. In 2000-09, 182 student-athletes earned Aca-demic All-Conference recognition, while Charlotte’s Lamarra Currie, Christa Dominick of La Salle, St. Bonaventure’s Katelyn Murray and David Zenk of George Washington received postgraduate scholarship grants. The Atlantic 10 Conference had 50 teams among the 767 Division I sports teams honored by the NCAA with public recognition awards for their latest multi-year Academic Progress Rate scores. These teams posted multi-year APR scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. This represents an increase of 16 teams from a year ago and ranked the league fifth among 31 Division I Conferences. In 19 of the 21 sports sponsored by the Atlantic 10, the league’s APR was at or above the conference average nation-ally according to the most recent data released by the NCAA. Moreover, 75 A-10 teams attained a perfect score in the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate Report. The Atlantic 10 Conference, with a total population of nearly 74 million people within its geographic footprint of eight states and the District of Co-lumbia, will crown champions in 21 sports this season: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, field hockey, men’s golf, women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track & field, women’s rowing, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s swimming & diving, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball.

He is a certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist by the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Buford is in his first season at Charlotte. Buford was a four year letter winner and gradu-ate at Saginaw Valley State University in Saginaw, MI.

Buford has worked with athletes from Football, Basketball, Track &

Field, Softball, Tennis and Volleyball through this business. He will be working directly with the Men’s and Women’s Tennis and Baseball teams. Buford is a member of the NSCA and also working towards his CSCS certification. The 49ers strength and conditioning program makes use of the weight training facility in the Miltimore-Wallis Athletics and Academic Train-ing Center. The Athletics and Academic Train-ing Center includes a 5,400-square-foot weight room. It is equipped with a variety of free weight and systematic training equipment. The weight training facility is exclusively used by the 49ers athletic department and its student-athletes.

The unlimited access allows the strength and conditioning staff the flexibility in scheduling time in the facility assuring that the student-athletes are able to maximize their athletic development.
