Head Coach Michelle Young Michelle Young is entering her fourteenth season at the helm of the Furman volleyball program, after steering the Paladins to a 24-10 overall record and 10-6 Southern Conference mark last season. After a third-

place finish in the South Division, Young guided the Paladins to a 2012 Southern Conference tournament championship appearance, before falling to College of Charleston in their last season with the SoCon. She picked up her 200th win and improved her career record at Furman to 205-141 after a 17-12 campaign in 2010, making her the winningest coach in Paladin volleyball history. Young led the team to a 19-match winning streak and a perfect 16-0 regular season mark in the Southern Conference during the 2009 season. For her efforts, she was chosen the 2009 Southern Conference Coach of the Year, an honor she also received in 2006. Furman also put together a 19-match winning streak during the 2009 season, the longest in Paladin volleyball history, and was undefeated in regular season league competition for the first time in Furman history. The team’s 26 wins were the most for a Paladin volleyball team since 1996, when Furman also posted 26 wins. The Paladins earned a 49th place RPI rating, the highest in the history of Furman volleyball, and were the top rated SoCon team in the poll. Young’s progress in taking the team to a higher level began in 2008, when she led the Paladins to the Southern Conference Tournament title and first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. After the successful season, Young was honored as Furman’s J. Lyles Alley Coach of the Year. Already the Paladins have grown

14th Season • 250-160accustomed to residing near the top of the Southern Conference standings. Throughout her career, Young has amassed a 202-75 record against league opponents, giving her a .729 winning percentage in the Southern Conference. She attributes the Paladins’ success in the league to the team’s rigorous non-conference schedule. Under her direction, Furman has had its first win against a Big 12 opponent with a 3-2 win over Colorado in 2007. The Paladins also recorded their first win over Clemson the same season. During the 2011 season, Furman notched a 3-1 victory over Wisconsin, the first win over a Big 10 opponent by any SoCon volleyball team. Last season, the Paladins defeated two ACC opponents (Clemson, Wake Forest) in the same season for the first time in program history. Furman’s win over Clemson was the Paladins’ first over the Tigers in Greenville in the history of the series Young’s athletes have tallied two league Player of the Year awards, two league Freshmen of the Year awards, 33 all-conference selections, 16 All-Southern Conference Tournament scrolls, one Southern Conference Tournament MVP, 31 Player of the Week plaques, four Southern Conference Player of the Month honors, 74 conference academic honor roll selections, and two Academic All-District III choices. Young took over the Furman volleyball program as a 23-year-old in 1999 after spending just one year as a assistant coach for the Paladins. In her first year as the head coach, the team won 15 league matches, the most in school history, establishing Young’s position as one of the top young coaches in the sport. She took on the project of moving the Furman volleyball program from Timmons Arena to its home at Alley Gymnasium in the summer of 2005, making Furman the only program in the Southern Conference with a volleyball-specific complex. Since moving into Alley Gymnasium, the Paladins have won

53 of their 68 home matches. A 1998 graduate of Clemson University with a degree in industrial education, Young was a four-year letterwinner at setter for the Tigers. She holds the Clemson record for single- season assists, with 1,561, and the career mark, with 4,305. In addition, she was selected Most Valuable Player at the 1997 ACC Tournament after leading the Tigers to the league title and the second NCAA Tournament of her tenure. Young also was lauded as second-team All-ACC in 1995 and was named to the 1995 AVCA All-District Team. In addition, in 2002 Young was named to the ACC’s 50th anniversary volleyball squad. Young has a passion for building youth interest in the sport of volleyball. For the last ten summers she has hosted the Michelle Young volleyball camp on the campus of Furman University and has recently become involved with the United Performance volleyball club, where she is in charge of the Greenville division. In 2010, she brought the United Performance team camp to Furman University’s campus. Under her direction, the Furman volleyball program has added numerous youth classes and position clinics. Young is a member of the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA). A native of Chatfield, Minn., the former Michelle Thieke was married to Will Young on June 27, 1998. The couple has three children: Brody (12), Bailey (9), and Bella (4).

2012 Final statistiCs



Program History Furman’s Paladin volleyball team has competed in the Southern Conference since 1984, when the league sponsored its first volleyball title. In the years since, Furman has won two regular-season and one tournament championship and has seen 54 All-Southern Conference citations awarded to members of the Furman program. In 1998, the winner of the Southern Conference began receiving an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships, further heightening the importance of the league tournament. Established in 1921, the Southern Conference is the fourth oldest major college conference in the United States. Its roots can be traced to 1894, when several football-playing institutions formed a confederation known as the Southeastern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA). On February 25-26, 1921, 15 of the larger SIAA members met in Atlanta and officially formed the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. Charter members were Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Washington & Lee. Athletic competition began that fall. Since its formation, the SoCon has

given birth to the Southeastern and Atlantic Coast Conferences, and its membership has changed drastically. Current members include Furman, Appalachian State, The Citadel, College of Charleston, Davidson, Elon, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Chattanooga, Samford, Western Carolina, and Wofford. The SoCon gives three major awards to its institutions. The Commissioner’s Cup is given annually to the school fielding the league’s best all-around men’s program, while the Germann Cup is presented to the school with the best overall women’s program. The McAlister Award is presented to the institution judged to have exhibited the highest degree of sportsmanship in league competition. In 1996-97, Furman won the McAlister Award and in 2003-04 captured its 12th consecutive Germann Cup.

ne of the first on-campus facilities constructed (1956) prior to Furman University’s move from downtown Greenville in the late 1950s, Latham Baseball Stadium, named in honor and memory of

ODr. John T. and Gloria Latham, the parents of former Paladin All-Southern Conference performer and Furman benefactor Tommy Latham and his family in May of 2008, possesses as much charm and character as any baseball complex in the league. Located in the heart of Furman’s modern athletics complex on one of the nation’s most scenic campuses, Latham Stadium boasts an outstanding, well-maintained playing surface of Bermuda and rye grass known for its consistency and smoothness. With seating for 2,000, the stadium offers fans an excellent venue for enjoying collegiate baseball. In 2001, Latham Baseball Stadium underwent a significant improve-ment with the addition of lights that meet standards for Double A and Triple A professional baseball. On April 13, 2001, the Paladins hosted Southern Conference foe UNC Greensboro in the first home night game ever played on campus. In December of 2012 the university opened the Furman Baseball Complex, which represents Phase 1 of $3.7 million in facility enhancements at Latham Stadium. The complex is located just beyond the stands down the first base/right field line and includes coaches’ offices, locker rooms for both coaches and players, player lounge, training and equipment rooms, laundry, and spacious indoor batting and pitching cages. Constructed over a period of 10 months, the $2.2 million, 11,000-square foot facility was designed by McMillan, Pazdan, and Smith and built by SYS Constructors — both of Greenville. Fund-raising for Phase 2 of facility enhancements at Latham Stadium is now underway with the goal of improving the fan experience. Plans, which were unveiled in April of 2013, include a new backstop, press box, expansive concourse, concessions, public restrooms, and additional chair back seating throughout the stadium.

Since its opening on March 20, 1956, Latham Baseball Stadium has served as the home of six Southern Conference championship teams, including the 2005 Paladin squad that advanced to the NCAA Atlanta Regional after claiming the league’s tournament championship. Latham Baseball Stadium measures 330 feet down the left and right field lines, 350 feet to left center field, 371 feet to the right center field power alley, and 393 feet to the center field fence.

n addition to Latham Stadium, its on-campus home, the Furman Paladins annually play several home games at Greenville’s spectacular Fluor Field at the West End, one of the country’s premier minor league ballparks.

I Furman played 12 games at Fluor Field in 2013 and recorded seven wins, including a pair of early season victories over Michigan State and decisions over Miami of Ohio, Cincinnati, nationally 11th-ranked South Carolina, USC Upstate, and Elon, whom the Paladins defeated in Southern Conference Tournament first round action. Furman has served as co-host of the 2009, ‘12, and ‘13 SoCon Baseball Tournament at Fluor Field — experiences that earned rave reviews from fans and league officials while showcasing Greenville’s dynamic downtown atmosphere. The Paladins played the first collegiate game in Fluor Field history on May 16, 2006, when they faced South Carolina in front of 6,155 fans — the largest crowd at the time to ever witness a Furman home baseball contest. Opened in 2006 and located at the corner of South Main and Markley Street in Greenville’s vibrant downtown, the intimate, 5,700-seat facility was named 2006 Ballpark of the Year by Ballparks.com. It serves as home of the Greenville Drive, the Single A South Atlantic League affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. The popular facility also plays host to numerous civic functions and concerts, including a 2006 performance by Grammy Award winning artist Edwin McCain. Modeled after Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox, West End Field boasts its own “Green Monster,” a 30-foot high wall in left field equipped with a manual scoreboard. Dimensions all around the outfield wall are the same as Fenway Park, including “Pesky’s Pole” in right field. A 15x20 video screen is located in right field. Stadium features are numerous and include the Coca Cola Dugout, Upper Deck, Picnic Pavilion, and popular 500 Club that pays homage to all major leaguers who have hit 500 or more home runs in their careers. An extra-wide concourse and three concession stands at the back of the grandstand add to the overall fan-friendly experience, as does a sponsored children’s play area and grassy knoll

in the left field corner. The exterior of the ballpark, echoing Greenville’s textile past and rich baseball tradition, includes over 500,000 bricks reclaimed from former mills. “Shoeless” Joe Jackson grew up in Greenville and played for Brandon Mill, one of the city’s many textile teams before turning pro. His home, which also serves as a museum, is located just across the street from Fluor Field.

n 1998 Furman University athletics entered a new era with the opening of Timmons Arena, the school’s on-campus, multi-purpose facility.The 100,000 square-foot arena, which seats 3,500 people for basketball

Iand 6,000 for concerts and other school and community activities, currently serves as the home of the university’s football and men’s and women’s basketball programs. In addition to featuring two regulation-size basketball courts, the facility includes offices and locker room facilities, offices for sports information, a complete sports medicine facility, and a 7,000 square-foot strength and conditioning center that serves the university’s entire 20-sport intercollegiate athletics program. Arena seating is chair-back style and is collapsible to allow the available floor space to be used for a variety of activities. The lead gift of $4 million for the facility was provided by longtime Furman supporters William R. Timmons, Jr. ‘49, Jean Timmons Pelham ‘42, and Charlie and Kitty Wells ‘48 Timmons. Bill, Jean, and Charlie are children of the late William R. Timmons ‘14. At the time of facility dedication, Bill Timmons, chairman of Greenville’s Canal Insurance Company, longtime university trustee, and recipient of an honorary degree from Furman, recalled that his family’s association with the university dated back from his father’s enrollment in 1910. His father’s brother, Charles Edward Timmons, Jr., also attended Furman before volunteering for World War I, during which he was killed in action. The construction of Timmons Arena eased overcrowding in Alley Gymnasium and in the Herman W. Lay Physical Activities Center (PAC), which currently serves as the home of the department of health and exercise science, student recreational and intramural sports, and fitness center. The decision to move forward with the arena was driven by the closing of Memorial Auditorium, the downtown Greenville facility that served as Furman’s basketball home for 38 years through the 1996 season. Located just southeast of the home stands at Paladin Stadium, Timmons Arena features a

main entrance and wings made of brick, with the rear constructed of split face block and insulated metal panels. Stanmar Inc. of Stanbury, Mass., which specializes in constructing athletic facilities, was the designer and builder at a cost of $10.9 million.

et among 170 acres on one of the nation’s most attractive campuses, the Furman University Golf Course is rightfully acclaimed as one of the best collegiate courses in the country.

S Originally designed by Richard K. Webel of Long Island, N.Y., and Walter Cosby, superintendant of grounds and greens at the Greenbrier Hotel and Golf Resort, course construction began in 1957 when few col-leges in the country had an on-campus facility. In the spring of 2008 the course was closed for major renovation, including the rebuilding of all tees and greens and several hole modifications and improvements. It re-opened in October 2008. The home of two of the nation’s oldest intercollegiate tournaments, the Furman Intercollegiate and Furman Lady Paladin Invitational, it also serves as the annual site of the annual 4A South Carolina State High School Championship. Over the years the course has hosted some of the game’s most re-nowned stars, including Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Curtis Strange, Jay Haas, Billy Andrade, and David Duval, as well as a host of outstanding women players, including Nancy Lopez and Furman graduates Betsy King, Beth Daniel, Dottie Pepper, Sherri Turner, and Maggie Will. The home of Furman’s nationally recognized women’s program that has made 26 national tournament appearances and placed multiple play-ers on the LPGA Tour, the facility has also served as the primary course to several outstanding Furman men players, including 1983 Fred Haskins Award winner and current PGA Champions Tour member Brad Faxon ‘83, who holds the course record with a 62. The REK Center for Intercollegiate Golf, which opened in 1997, has provided a big boost to Furman’s golf programs. Launched with gifts from Betsy King, Beth Daniel, and Dottie Pepper, and completed with the help of an anonymous donor, the center serves as clubhouse and practice facility for Furman’s golf teams. In addition to coaches’ offices, locker rooms, and a meeting area, the center features putting and chipping greens, fairway and greenside bunkers, and a covered, heated tee.

In the summer of 2012 the university completed construction of Phase I of the REK Short Game Facility featuring three new holes and Champion Bermuda grass greens, as well as a renovated bent grass putting green — a $320,000 project. The approximately seven-acre area provides players with multiple short game practice possibilities and an opportunity to play multi-directional par-3 holes. Phase II will include further expansion of the REK Center, including a Learning Center at a cost of $1 million.

F urman’s Paladin Stadium, nestled beautifully on campus with a scenic view of Paris Mountain, is the football home of the Paladins, having opened in 1981 to replace Sirrine Stadium, which served as the site

of Furman football for 45 years. The stadium, which features 16,000 permanent seats, originally was constructed to accommodate 13,200 spectators. Prior to the 1985 season, 2,800 additional seats were added, giving the stadium its current capacity. Following the completion of the 2012 campaign, the school began construction of the Pearce-Horton Football Complex, a 44,000-square foot, four-story facility that will serve as the new operational home for Furman football, complete with locker room, coaches’ offices, meeting rooms, sports medicine center, and “Heritage Hall.” Due for completion in the fall of 2013, the new building will also feature a club level and new press box. Designed by McMillan, Pazdan, and Smith of Greenville, the project is being handled by Triangle Construction, also of Greenville. Another significant improvement for Paladin Stadium includes the sum-mer 2013 installation of a new ShawSports “Thunderbolt” playing surface, which will replace the original natural grass field. Other planned changes to enhance fan game day experience include the addition of padded chair back seating, improved lighting, and new pubic address system. Paladin Stadium is the third home of Furman football since 1919. Manly Field, completed in that year, served as the home of Furman football until 1936, when Furman moved the site of its football contests to then-newly constructed Sirrine Stadium. The first game played in Sirrine Stadium — a 14-13 Furman win over Davidson — was the sixth game of the year for Furman during the 1936 season. In 1980, Furman closed its association with Sirrine Stadium with a 28-15 victory over arch-rival The Citadel to win its first outright Southern Conference football championship. Furman opened Paladin Stadium in the same fashion it did Manly and Sirrine, winning the first game played within its confines. The Paladins defeated East Tennessee State, 21-0, in the stadium’s inaugural contest and in a quarter century of play have gone on to record a 152-45-1

(.770 winning percentage) home record, claiming 10 Southern Conference championships and the 1988 NCAA I-AA (FCS) national championship along the way. In 1985 the stadium’s field was named Eugene Stone Field in honor of Stone, who was directly responsible for the additional seats added to the stadium prior to the 1985 season. In 2009 the school added a new 13x32 video board and scoreboard. From initial grading to completion, Paladin Stadium took two years to be realized at a cost of approximately $2 million dollars. Construction was by Farley Construction of Columbia, S.C.

new era began in Furman softball in 2001 with the opening of Pepsi Stadium. Dedicated prior to the Lady Paladins’ 3-2 win over then-

ASouthern Conference rival East Tennessee State, Pepsi Stadium replaced Furman Field, which served as the center of the school’s highly successful softball program in its first 20 years of existence. During that time, Fur-man produced a 207-97 record (.681). Its outfield sodded with Bermuda grass, which provides a consis-tently smooth playing surface, Pepsi Stadium measures 200 feet down the left and right field foul lines and 220 feet to the center field fence. With seating for 300, the facility boasts enclosed brick dugouts, laser graded infield, bullpens, two batting cages located down the right field line, scoreboard, and a padded outfield fence bordered by an attrac-tive hedge. The opening of Pepsi Stadium signaled Furman’s continued com-mitment to softball excellence. In 1994 the Lady Paladins captured the first regular season and tournament championships offered by the Southern Conference, and the following year Furman made it two in a row by claiming the league regular season crown. In 2007 Furman returned to the championship ranks by making a clean sweep of the SoCon Tournament field, defeating College of Charleston, Elon, Western Carolina, and Georgia Southern en route to the crown and first ever NCAA Tournament appearance. In the fall of 2013, Furman completed another major upgrade for Paladin softball with the construction of a new press box and coaches’ office complex at Pepsi Stadium. The two-story, 2,700-square foot facility includes restrooms and a concession stand on the lower level, a second floor featuring offices for head coach Kyle Jamieson and his staff, room for media and game day operations, and a lounge area to entertain recruits and other guests. The architect for the project was McMillan, Pazdan, and Smith of Greenville and builder was The Elliott Group, also of Greenville.

In September of 1995, over 3,500 fans joined with international soc-cer great Pelé in dedicating Furman University’s new Eugene Stone III Soccer Stadium.

The facility, which features a brick and wrought iron fence, 3,000 permanent seats, fully-automated scoreboard, modern press box, and lighting for night games, serves as home of Furman’s sucessful men’s and women’s soccer programs and has been the site of five Southern Conference Tournaments and a pair of NCAA Tournament first round matches. Named for the late Eugene Stone, long-time Furman benefactor, the $1 million complex is one of several generous gifts made by Stone and the Stone Foundation to Furman University in support of the school’s athletics program. In 1981 Stone provided the grading work for Furman’s Paladin Stadium football field, which is named in his honor, and in 1983 he initiated sig-nificant annual scholarship support for Furman’s men’s soccer program. During the 2013-14 school year the university will break ground on a $1.6 million, two-story fieldhouse that will house home and visiting team locker rooms, expanded public restrooms, a permanent concession area, referees’ room, and storage space. The second floor will serve as an open-air plaza for watching games. Due primarily to Stone’s commitment, Furman’s men’s soccer program has responded by winning 19 Southern Conference championships and making eight NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the “Elite 8” in 1999 following first and second round wins over North Carolina and Wake Forest, respectively. Furman finished that season 21-2-1 and ranked third in the final Soccer America poll. In 2002, the Paladins posted a 19-3-1 mark, including a pair of NCAA Tournament wins, and in 2007 Furman posted a 19-4 mark and advanced into the NCAA Tournament second round before losing, 1-0, to eventual champion Wake Forest. All told the Paladins have compiled a 112-35-11 record in Stone Stadium (.744). Furman players who have starred in Stone Stadium include Clint Dempsey, a standout per-

former with Tottenham (EPL) and 2006 and 2010 United States World Cup Teams; U.S. National Team and Major League Soccer (MLS) Houston Dynamo’s Ricardo Clark; Shea Salinas of the MLS San Jose Earthquakes; Alec Kann of the MLS Chicago Fire; and Walker Zimmerman of the MLS Dallas FC. Furman women’s soccer, meanwhile, has enjoyed similar success since the program’s start in 1994. Over its 18 seasons of play, the Lady Paladins have captured six conference regular season titles, made five NCAA Tournament appearances, and posted a 112-46-10 home match record in Stone Stadium (.696).

In the fall of 2005 Furman volleyball became the first Southern Con-ference program to begin play in a volleyball-specific complex when it moved its home court from Timmons Arena into Alley Gymnasium.

“Alley Gym is such a great venue for volleyball because the scale of the facility is more in proportion to the size of a volleyball court,” said head coach Michelle Young at the time. “Our fans are right on top of the action, and the noise level is a major advantage for us when playing at home.” The transition of Furman volleyball to Alley Gym actually began due to a scheduling conflict at Timmons Arena, the program’s former home, during the 2004 campaign. “The atmosphere was so exciting for that first match that we knew this was where we need to play ,” added Young, whose team went on to post a 4-1 mark that year on its new home court. In 2011 Furman posted a perfect 8-0 record in Alley Gymnasium, and over the past four seasons (2009-12) the Paladins have combined to go 34-5 in the facility (.872), including an 11-1 mark in 2009 as part of a program best 26-4 campaign that featured a perfect 16-0 SoCon regular season. In 2008 Furman won seven home matches on the way to a 21-14 season, SoCon Tournament championship, and NCAA Tournament ap-pearance. Since moving into the facility the Paladins have forged a 60-18 home mark (.769). Prior to the squad’s permanent move into the facility in 2005, the gym floor was stripped, repainted, and sealed in a volleyball specific design. In addition, the ceiling was replaced and new scoreboard, strobe lighting, and wireless internet hub installed. Seating for 500 was also provided. In 2007 air conditioning was added to the court area to make the facil-ity even more fan friendly. Another program enhancement was the procurement of a new, larger locker room, located just off the court, and new coaches’ offices in the building. In 2006 the Friends of Furman Volley-ball (FoFV) helped celebrate the program’s new home by hosting a house warming party called “Rally in the Alley.”

Originally constructed in 1958, Alley Gymnasium was used as a practice facility for all athletic teams over the years. It is named for former Furman basketball coach and athletics director Lyles Alley, who headed up the Paladin basketball program for over 20 years and coached All-America Furman performers Frank Selvy and Darrell Floyd, among others.

F urman University’s tennis programs, which over the years have brought great distinction to the university with numerous champi-onships and outstanding play, boast as their home one of the region’s

top tennis facilities, the Minor Herndon Mickel Tennis Center. The central building of the tennis center, which encloses approxi-mately 41,000 square feet, features four indoor courts and a clubhouse with offices for the men’s and women’s coaches, locker rooms for home and visiting teams, lobby, lounge, and viewing area for the outdoor courts. The complex also includes an outside stadium court with seating for 400 people and 15 outdoor courts. The $2 million complex was completed in 1996 and named in honor of the later Minor Mickel, a long-time supporter of the university and first woman to serve as chair of the Furman Board of Trustees. An original gift of $600,000 was made in 1993 by Mrs. Mickel’s family in her honor. Ad-ditional commitments by the family, alumni, and friends of the university in the following year boosted the total to nearly $2 million. Mrs. Mickel, a native of Elberton, Ga., and graduate of the University of Georgia, was a longtime Greenville resident. She served on both Fur-man’s Advisory Council and Board of Trustees, and, in 1989, became the first woman ever to chair the board. In addition, she was honored with the school’s Mary Mildred Sullivan Award and was awarded an honorary doctorate degree in 1993, prior to her death in 2005. The complex also honors other individuals for their contributions to Furman. Family and friends of the late B.O. (Tommy) Thomason, an avid tennis player and Furman graduate who served as the university’s chief legal counsel prior to his death in 1993, made gifts in his memory. One group of outdoor courts is called the Tommy Thomason Men’s Complex. The stadium court is named in honor of Paul Scarpa, who served for 45 years as Furman’s men’s tennis coach prior to his retirement in 2011. Court One is named in honor of longtime women’s coach Debbie Southern. Other courts have been named by donors to honor family and friends.

In 2009 the Furman men’s tennis scoreboard was given by Barry Cox, a Scarpa pupil, in honor of his father, Charles W. Cox, former president of Daniel Construction and avid tennis player and friend of Scarpa. The outdoor courts for both the men’s and women’s teams were resurfaced in the summer of 2011. Both the men’s and women’s tennis teams have been extremely successful, combining to win 57 Southern Conference regular season and tournament championships over the years.

F urman University, which over the years has claimed seven South-ern Conference titles in track and field and six league cross country championships, dedicated the Irwin Belk Complex for Track and Field in 1997. The facility is named in honor of its principal benefactor, Irwin

Belk, the son of William Henry Belk and the founder of the Belk merchan-dising empire. Irwin Belk, a longtime leader in business, the arts, politics, and education in North Carolina, attended the University of North Caro-lina-Chapel Hill, where he set a number of records in track. As a philan-thropist, Belk has given the lead gift for track and field complexes at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, and now Furman, and is dedicated to the advancement of the sport. In addition to the improved track complex, Furman now boasts the Kelsey-West track, a red MONDO surface with eight 42-inch lanes. The high jump, long jump, triple jump, and pole vault runways are joined by a cream colored apron. MONDO is the premier name in track surfaces and has been used in each of the last eight Olympics and numerous World Track & Field Championships. In April 2007, Furman announced the planned construction of a new $2.5 million track house and a new track complex. The first phase of the project will be a two-story, 6,000-square-foot track house that will be situated atop the hill overlooking the track, off Cherrydale Lane. It will include locker rooms for the men’s and women’s teams, coaches’ offices, a reception area and a warm-up area for athletes. Attached to the track house will be a new 2,000-square-foot laboratory for the Furman In-stitute of Running and Scientific Training faculty. The new track house also includes subsequent plans to renovate the existing Irwin Belk Complex For Track & Field, install lights, construct bleacher seating for 1,500, erect a press box, and add parking. The facility construction and improvements announcement in 2007 came in conjunction

with the Asics Blue Shoes Mile banquet held at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Greenville. Over 400 alumni and others, including 1972 U.S. Olympic gold medalist in the 800 meters, Dave Wot-tle, and former Boston Marathon winner Amby Burfoot, were on hand for the eventful weekend that also included the second annual Asics Blue Shoes Mile run. Renowned distance runner Alan Webb capped the event, attended by over 3,000 fans, by recording the first-ever sub-4-minute mile on a South Carolina track with a time of 3:57.83.

The APR provides a real-time look at a team’s academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete. The APR includes both retention at an institution and academic eligibility in its calculation and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport.

The Southern Conference, which begins its 93rd season of intercollegiate competition in 2013, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in de-veloping creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first conference basketball tournament (1921), to tackling the issue of freshman eligibility (1922), to developing women’s championships (1984), to becoming the first conference to install the 3-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pac-12 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on Capital One Academic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 20 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions, including Wofford volleyball player Rachel Woodlee, who earned the honor last year. The Conference currently consists of 11 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first-class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.

MEMBERSHIP HISTORY On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Missis-sippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee. By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932, at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganiz-ing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technol-ogy, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools – Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest – departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference, which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. A third major shift occurred in 2012-13, when five members announced their departures and three schools were added. College of Charleston announced its decision to leave for the Colonial Athletic Association following the 2012-13 season, while Appalachian State (Sun Belt), Davidson (Atlantic 10), Elon (Colonial) and Georgia Southern (Sun Belt) announced they would depart following the 2013-14 campaign. At the Southern Conference’s 2013 spring meetings in Hilton Head Island, S.C., the league officially extended invitations to former members East Tennessee State and VMI, as well as Mercer, to join the league for the 2014-15 academic year. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 11 institutions and a footprint that spans five states: Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Current league members are Appalachian State, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNCG, Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford.

CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY The first Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the first recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball. Commissioner Germann spearheaded the Southern Conference’s expansion to include women’s athletics during the 1983-84 season. That year, league championships were held in volleyball, basketball and tennis. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recently, the conference instituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994. The Germann Cup, named in honor of the former commissioner, annually recognizes the top women’s athletics programs in the conference. From its humble beginnings, women’s athletics have become an integral part of the Southern Conference and its success. The Southern Conference declares champions in 10 men’s sports – football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf – and nine women’s sports – soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, tennis, golf and softball.

FURMAN ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME


Furman 106 Paladins

The Furman University Board of Trustees unanimously elected Carl F. Kohrt, Ph.D., to be interim president effective July 1. He succeeds Furman’s 11th president, Rod Smolla, who re-signed for personal reasons after serving since July 2010. A native of Tuscola, Illinois, Dr. Kohrt is a successful business executive and an accom-plished academic with deep Furman ties. He was graduated magna cum laude from Fur-man in 1965 with a B.S. degree in chemistry, and earned a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Chicago and a Master’s de-gree in Management Science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Kohrt has been a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow, a National Science Foun-dation Post-Doctoral Fellow at the James Frank Institute, a Woodrow Wilson Fellow (honorary), a Sloan Fellow, and is a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He is the recipient of an honorary Doctor of Science degree from both Furman and Ohio Dominican University. Dr. Kohrt enjoyed a 29-year career at Eastman Kodak Company, joining the company as a scientist and retiring as executive vice president and chief technical officer, where he was re-sponsible for research laboratories on four continents. From 2001 until his retirement in 2008, he served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Battelle Memorial Institute, one of the world’s largest, non-profit research and development corporations. The son of two teachers, Kohrt has been devoted to improving math and science education in public schools. Under his leadership and consistent with its founding mission, Battelle began a significant investment in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education, co-founding with The Ohio State University a multi-state network of public math and science col-lege preparatory high schools. He also served as founding chair of Battelle for Kids, a nationally recognized teacher education assessment company. He is the past lead director of Scotts MiracleGro Company and currently serves as a director of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. He also has been a longstanding member of Furman’s Board of Trustees, serving as its chair from 2006 to 2008. He and his wife, Lynne, are the parents of three sons, one a Furman graduate (Kris ’84), and they have 10 grandchildren.

When Gary Clark was named director of athletics at Furman in August of 2000, he spoke of the challenge of building on the success of a program coming off one of its greatest decades. Now in his second decade as head of the school’s 20-sport athletics program, it’s clear Clark — and Furman — have made good on the task as Paladin athletics has maintained its competitiveness and overall excellence. During Clark’s tenure, Furman athletic teams have combined to win 26 Southern Conference regular season championships and 27 league tournament titles, and make 40 NCAA Tournament appearances. Furman’s athletics program earned an 108th place finish in the 2007-08 NACDA NCAA Division I Sports Academy Director’s Cup all-sports competition, the highest showing by an SoCon school and third highest among state institutions, and the last four years Furman has ranked among national leaders in NCAA Academic Performance Rate (APR) scores. In addition, the university captured the SoCon’s 2007-08 Barrett-Bonner Award by placing the highest percentage of its student-athletes

Dr. Carl KohrtPresident

Dr. Gary ClarkAthletics Director

Dr. Bill PierceFaculty Athletics Representative

Dr. Bill Pierce, Furman’s NCAA Faculty Athletics Representative, joined the Furman faculty in 1983 and has chaired the health sciences department for almost three decades. During his tenure as chair, the health sciences major has grown into one of the most popular on campus. The W. Va., native was a highly recruited two-time all-state basketball player who attended Davidson on a basketball scholarship. While at Davidson, he played on nationally ranked basketball teams that won three Southern Conference championships. He was also a successful half-miler on the track team. Pierce graduated from Davidson in 1971 with a degree in political science. He earned a master’s degree in sports studies from West Virginia and doctorate in physical education from Virginia Tech.

FURMAN ADMINISTRATIONon the league’s academic honor roll. Clark’s appointment as athletic director brought him full circle after first coming to Furman as a basketball player in the early 1970s and later returning in 1998 to serve as director of the Paladin Club, the school’s athletic fund-raising organization. He added the title of associate athletic director for external affairs the following year. A 1974 Furman graduate with a B.A. degree in history, Clark earned M.Ed. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of South Carolina. He spent the next 23 years at Spartanburg Day School as a teacher, coach, and, finally, headmaster, where he oversaw several successful enrollment and fund-raising campaigns. During his time as a Furman undergraduate, Clark lettered twice as a member of the basketball team and played on Paladin squads that won two Southern Conference Tournament championships and made two NCAA Tournament appearances under head coach Joe Williams. During his senior season, the Paladins posted a 22-9 record and defeated South Carolina, 75-67, in the NCAA East Regionals. A native of Chicago Heights, Ill., Clark, a former member of the NCAA’s prestigious Management Council, is married to the former Merrie McCullough ‘75 of Honea Path and has two sons: Ryan and John Stewart.
