COACHING STAFF

Jerry Baltes is in his 12th year at the helm of both the

men's and women's cross country and track and field

teams at Grand Valley State. During that time, Baltes has

been able to build six championship programs as the Lak-

ers have won 54 out of 66 cross country, indoor, and out-

door track and field GLIAC championships.

Overall, Baltes has won 33 GLIAC Coach of the Year ti-

tles and has groomed 96 All-Americans athletes to a com-

bined total of 271 All-American honors. Baltes has

received the Great Lakes Regional Coach of the Year Award

eight times in cross country, nine times in indoor and nine

times in outdoor. The women's cross country, track and

field teams at Grand Valley State have won all three (cross

country, indoor track, outdoor track) conference champi-

onships in each of the last nine seasons, while the men

won all three for a streak of five seasons (2003-07). For

those accomplishments, Baltes was most recently named

the men's and women's cross country Midwest Region

Coach of the Year in 2008 and named Division II National

Women's Indoor Track & Field Coach of the Year in 2009.

Baltes has led the men's and women's indoor and out-

door track teams to 28 top-20 finishes at the NCAA Na-

tional Championships. The men's indoor track and field

team placed 13th in 2000, 15th in 2001, 12th in 2002, 18th

in 2005, 10th in 2006, fourth in 2008, eighth in 2007 and

12th in 2009. The women's team finished 14th in 1999,

ninth in 2002, seventh in 2003, 16th in 2005, fifth in 2006,

third in 2007, sixth in 2008, second in 2009 and second in

2010. The men's outdoor track and field team finished in

13th place in 2006, eighth in 2007, sixth in 2008, and 12th

in 2009. The women's team placed 11th in 2002, 18th in

2005, fourth in 2006, fifth in 2007, eighth in 2008, fourth

in 2009 and third in 2010.

The Laker cross country teams have experienced a great

deal of success on the national level. Baltes wasted no

time in making a name for the women's program as they

finished fifth in the nation in 1999 and have finished in the

top five every year since them. The women's team has fin-

ished in the top three spots in the last four seasons, in-

cluding second-place finishes in both 2005 and 2008. The

men's team has also had success at the national level,

making the national stage for the first time in 2002 and fin-

ishing ninth. The Lakers finished in fourth place for three

consecutive seasons (2005-07), their top finish to date.

Baltes has guided five individuals and two relay teams

to NCAA National Championships in his tenure at Grand

Valley State. Jason Van Elst became Grand Valley's first-

ever individual National Champion as he won the 35#

weight throw (65'-9.5") in 2002 in Boston, Mass. Mandi

(Long) Zemba became the school's first-ever female ath-

lete to win an individual national championship. She is a

four-time NCAA National Champion and won her first title

as a true freshman in the 1500 meter with a time of

4:28.53. In 2005, Zemba won the individual National

Championship in cross country as she covered the 6,000

meter course in Pomona, Calif. in a time of 21:01.7. She

went on to capture the 3,000 and 5,000 meter runs at the

2006 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field National Champi-

onships in Emporia, Kan. Her time of 15:48.62 at the Stan-

ford Cardinal Invitational qualified her for the USA Track

and Field National Championships in Indianapolis where

she finished 16th. Zemba rewrote the distance record

books in 2006 by breaking six GVSU school records. Steph

Kuhlman claimed the National Championship title in the

800m in 2003 in Edwardsville, Ill. with a winning time of

2:05.34. She set the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Champi-

onship record of 2:05.75 in 2003 in the prelims. Kuhlman

also qualified and competed in the 2003 USA Track and

Field Championships in Stanford.

Originally from Rolling Prairie, Ind., Baltes was a four-

time letter winner and captain of the cross country/track

and field teams at Butler University. Graduating from But-

ler in 1998, Baltes received a Bachelor of Science degree in

secondary education-physical education.

Baltes was the assistant men's and women's track and

field/cross country coach for two years at Butler. His area

of focus was with the distance athletes in cross country

and the jumpers in track. He played a major role in build-

ing a cross country program that qualified for the National

Championships. In 1998, he assisted in leading the Butler

Bulldogs to 16th place at the NCAA Championships. Baltes

also guided Butler's first track athlete to the 1998 National

Championships in the 3,000, 5,000, and 10,000 meters,

since 1971.

Certified by the NCAA to recruit, and in charge of the

Midwestern region, Baltes brought in the largest recruiting

class ever in Butler cross country history. Having experi-

ence in organizing events, scheduling, and keeping his

players motivated, Baltes' management skills have played

a large role in his success. He assisted in all aspects of

team travel, organized team events and activities, coordi-

nated equipment orders with Adidas, and kept contact

with alumni.

Lou Andreadis is returning for his tenth season at Grand

Valley as a full-time assistant for both the men's and

women's track and field teams. Andreadis' experience is a

valuable resource to the Laker program and will also re-

unite Andreadis with head coach Jerry Baltes as they

coached together at Butler University in Indiana. Lou's

main responsibilities are to work with the Laker pole

vaulters and handle all Multi-Event scheduling for the

Combined Events.

At Grand Valley State, Andreadis has developed a solid

vault program which has seen 23 all-americans in seven

years and set both men's and women's school records . His

vaulters average a fifteen inch improvement over the last

seven years. Three vaulters have seen over three feet

added to their high school PR's. Under Lou's coaching,

Bryant Wilson went from a 14'6" high school vaulter to

clearing 18'0.5" (5.50m) in 2009 and competing at the

USATF National Championship. The same year Dianna

Noonan, a 12'0" high school vaulter, cleared 13'9.25"

(4.20m) and also qualified for the USATF Championship.

Coach Lou has also put together one of the largest pole

selections in the entire country. Over $50,000 has been

spent in poles alone to fill out complete series of poles

from 12'6-16'1. He also helped design the lay-out for the

two raised runways used at GVSU's indoor facility.

Andreadis graduated from Butler in 1996 with a degree

in Secondary Education. Lou stayed at Butler and worked

for four years as assistant coach for track and field and

football as well as a part-time teacher at an Indianapolis

grade school, IHM. In 2001 he was the head girls track and

assistant football coach at his alma mater, Anderson High

School in Cincinnati, Ohio.
