JCCC Quick Facts

Johnson County Community College Golf Media Guide / 2008-09

When a student-athlete signs to play golf at Johnson County Community College, there are two things that arealmost certain to happen. JCCC will be in the hunt for the conference and district titles, and the team will com­pete in the NJCAA Golf Championship.

Past success of the program dictates such high yearly goals for the squad. The Cavaliers have competed in 1straight NJCAAs and finished among the top five in conference and district play in each season of head coacLafayette Norwood’s tenure.

The goals for the 2008-09 season will be the same as always, play for the Jayhawk Conference and District III titles,and compete in the NJCAA Championship. Norwood’s philosophy to accomplish those goals will also remain the same. Norwood stresses to each of his teams to focus on one shot at a time, and not dwell on a bad shot or try tmake up for one.

That philosophy helped JCCC persevere through a difficult schedule and remain focussed on their goal to com­pete each week and contend for a top spot. By the end of the regular season, JCCC found itself near for the tospot in the conference, only to finish second by one point. The team went on to have a successful postseason, plac­ing 14th nationally, while posting some of the top team and individuals scores in the championship in JCCC golhistory.

The JCCC golf team returns to the links in early September with the anticipation of contending for anotheJayhawk Conference title, and qualifying for an 14th straight trip to the NJCAA National Tournament in late May.

“Our goals every year are the same,” Norwood said. “Time will tell whether or not these goals are realistic for this team. I’m excited about this coming season. This group has a tremendous amount of ability. They are a deter­mined group, and want to leave their mark on the program. We ought to challenge for every tournament title this year.”

Leading the 2008-09 Cavaliers golf team is Miles Christensen, the only player back from last year’s squadChristensen has a solid freshman campaign, earning second-team All-Kansas Jayhawk Conference honors. He fin­ished ninth overall in the conference standings, and was third on the team in stroke average at 77.2. He tied for the team lead for rounds in the 70s with 23, and tied for second with five top 10 finishes.

While Norwood will look to his lone veteran to lead this year’s squad, he will look to his six newcomers to maketheir presence known this season. Freshmen Nathan Allison of Topeka, Kan., Garrett Carver of BurlingtoJunction, Mo., Josh Dennis of Wichita, Kan., Trevor Johanson of Maize, Kan., Matt Puhr of Olathe, Kan., and Bryce Rowe of Baxter Springs, Kan., each bring solid prep credentials to JCCC, and are ready to raise their levelof play in their first collegiate season.

In order for the Cavaliers to contend for a conference championship they must get off to a strong start when the step foot on the tee box Sept 8th at MariahHills Golf Course in Dodge City, Kan., the first of six conference matches. The Cavaliers will also compete in the Sterling Invitational Sept. 22, and the KCKCC Blue Devil Fall Classic in the fall. The Sterling Invitational will be held at Cottonwood Hills in Hutchinson, site of the 2009 Kansas Jayhawk Conference Championship.

The Cavaliers open the spring campaign with two big tournament hosted by the University of Central Missouri (March 16-17) and Bethel College (March 29­30). Johnson County will use those tournaments to prepare for the stretch run in the conference race. Three conference tournaments are scheduled for the spring, however, JCCC is not in the rotation to host a match this season.

The Cavaliers cap the season May 19-22, at the NJCAA Championship at the Hampton Cove River Course in Huntsville, Ala, part of the famed Robert TrentJones Golf Trail. JCCC will look to crack the top-10 for just the third time in its existence. The Cavaliers finished 14th at this venue last year.

Head Coach • 17th Season • Southwestern College Under the leadership of Lafayette Norwood, the Johnson County Community College men’s golf program hassteadily progressed and is now a force to be reckoned with in both the Jayhawk Conference and the National JuniorCollege Athletic Association (NJCAA).

Now in his 17th season as head coach of the Cavaliers golf program, Norwood has already set a standard of excellence that is unmatched by his predecessors. Norwood has led the Cavaliers to 13 straight berthsin the NJCAA National Tournament, a first-time achievement for the Cavaliers golf program.

In the 1995-96 campaign, Norwood led JCCC to their first NJCAA berth in 24 years, finishing 24th nationally. A year later, the Cavaliers received their first national ranking, holding down the 19th spot in the final poll of the season. Two weeks later, the JCCC linksters improved one spot, finishing 18th at Alta Mesa Country Club in Chandler, Ariz. The Cavaliers fired a team total of 1,230, a per player average of 76 per round, marking their best performancein a national tournament. In 1999, the Cavaliers nearly knocked off national power Dodge City to win the districtchampionship then followed with an 18th-place finish at the NJCAA Championship.

The 1999-2000 season was one of the best ever in program history. JCCC won three tournaments, including a first-ever district championship, bettering conference champion Butler County by two strokes. The team followed with a 13th-place finish at the NJCAA Championship, the best in JCCC history.

Eight years ago, JCCC made a charge in the second half to battle Dodge City for the conference championship. JCCC won two tournaments, and finished runner-up in another. The Cavaliers finished with 29.5 points, just 2.5 behind Dodge City. JCCC went on to place third in the district and 18th at the NJCAA Championship.

Seven years ago was the crowning moment of the Norwood era. The Cavaliers, led by a record six all-conference per­formers, captured the program’s first Jayhawk Conference title. They followed with a runner-up finish at districts and a 14th-place finish at nationals, second-best all-time at JCCC.

The 2002-03 campaign JCCC qualified for its eighth consecutive national tournament, and led by Eric Klinger, theCavaliers finished 14th in the NJCAA. The sophomore fired a 299 72-hole total, which tied a school record for best score in a national tournament. His 27th-place finish was the best in JCCC history.

The 2003-04 team etched its place in JCCC history, finishing in the top-10 at the NJCAA Championships for thefirst time in team history. Tom Clifford led the way placing in a tie for 18th, the highest individual in team history.Close behind were Jay Kramer, Brian Donnelly and Eric Byers, who finished 24th, 34th and 34th respectively.

The 2004-05 season proved another year for the annuals, as JCCC recorded its highest national finish, placing seventh, while witnessing the first All-American performance in the program’s history. Jay Kramer fired the best tournament score in team history, and playedhis way into a tie for seventh-place, whichearned him second-team All-American. The team also captured its second conference title,won five tournaments and had five players gar­ner all-conference honors.

Three years ago, JCCC slipped a little, placing13th at nationals. However, it proved to arecord setting appearance as JCCC set teamand individual records for scores, both in a round and overall.

Two seasons ago, JCCC was again a dominantforce. The team won a school record six tour­naments, and tied for the conference champi­onship, but lost a five-player one hole playoffagainst Dodge City for the trophy. The team went on to post a tie for 12th at nationals witha 1191 total, third-best all-time. The previous mark was 76.0. Additionally, five individualsearned all-conference honors, the second-high­est total in team history.

Norwood has amassed an overall record of of 1,335-591-4. Five years ago his squad recordeda record of 121-22, the best season at JCCC. In addition, the Cavaliers won a record five tourna­ments. In 2004-05 JCCC again won five tour­nament. Last year, JCCC won a record six tour­naments and Norwood's squad posted a record136 wins. In all, Norwood-led teams have won 31 tournaments in his 15 seasons.

The list of individual honors won at JCCC under Norwood is just as impressive andincludes one All-American, two National All-Tournament performers, 45 All-Jayhawk

Among those is two-time, first-team pick Kirk Schneider, who set a school record with 43 points during the 1994-95 campaign.Schneider closed out the season with a 67th-place finish at nationals. Another is Scott McCoy, who five seasons ago became the first individual from JCCC win the conference point title. McCoy finished with 39.5 points. He also set 18-hole and 36-hole scoring records at JCCC. Four years ago sawthe emergence of Chris McGown, who finished third in the standings and registered a stroke average of 75.8, No. 2 all-time at JCCC. Four years ago he became the second JCCC player to win the individual conference point championship. He also became the first JCCC golfer to be selected the male athlete of the year by the JCCC coaching staff.

Three years ago, Brian Donnelly etched his name in the record books, posting the best stroke average in JCCC at 75.3 while setting a new 18-hole scor­ing record of 66. He earned all-conference and became the second JCCC golfer to be selected the male athlete of the year.

In 2004-05, Jay Kramer became the third golfer to be selected JCCC Male Athlete of the Year. He led the squad in tournament wins (2), top five fin­ishes (6), stroke average (76.6) and rounds in the 70s (20). He also earned first-team all-conference, second-team All-American and National All-Tournament accolades.

The 2005-06 season saw Matt Salome and Andrew Manley finish under par at nationals. Salome set a record with a 9-under 279 total, good for a 20th­place finish. He finished with a stroke average of 76.2, fourth-best all-time. Manley finished with a 5-under 283 effort at nationals. He also set the single round record in the championship by a JCCC golfer, firing a 67.

Last season Salome finished tied for 22nd at nationals with a 72-hole total of 290, six-over par. That ranks as the third-best score posted by aCavalier in a national championship, and his 22nd-place finish is thefourth-best effort posted by a Cavalier. On the season, Salome finished with a stroke average of 74.0 with 30 rounds of golf played. That stroke average set a new season mark at JCCC, breaking the old record of 75.4.He also set a new career mark with a stroke average of 75.1 with 60rounds played.

He closed out his career with a 78th-place national finish.

Norwood’s devotion to his student-athletes’ success off the course is justas important to their success on it. During his 15 years, he has had anumber of his student-athletes receive academic honors for posting gradepoint averages above 3.0. In 1997, Norwood had his first student-athlete recognized as a NJCAA Academic All-American, when Mike Maskillclosed out his collegiate career at JCCC with a grade point above 3.6. In 2003, McGown and Eric Klinger became JCCC’s second and thirdgolfers to earn Academic All-American, and McGown became the first toearn Distinguished Academic All-American with a 4.0 grade point aver­age.

School, Lafayette Norwood learned from a legend then, developed his ownlegendary career as a basketball coach.

A 1952 graduate at Wichita East, Norwood helped lead his alma mater to aKansas state championship in 1951. That team today is still considered one of the best in the state.

Norwood continued his progression as a standout player at Arkansas City(Kan.) Junior College (now Cowley County Community College) where hewas successful in both basketball and football for the Tigers. Norwood amassed 876 points, the second highest career total at the school. That total currently stands 16th all-time at Cowley County. An NJCAA first-team All-American in 1953, Norwood led the Tigers to a runner-up finish in thenational tournament. He capped his career with the Tigers the followingseason by leading them to a seventh-place finish in the national tournament,again earning All-America accolades, becoming the first two-time All-American in any sport in school history.

Playing tailback for the Tigers football team, Norwood earned all-conferenceaccolades as well. He was inducted to the Tiger Athletic Hall of Fame in1994.

He then transferred to Southwestern College, where he earned his bachelor’sdegree in physical education. In his first season at Southwestern, Norwood helped the Builders to a 20-8 record, a CIC championship, and a berth inthe NAIA National Tournament. It was Southwestern’s final CIC title before moving to the KCAC, and its final appearance in the National Tournament.Norwood was named to the All-CIC team and All-Tournament second-team that season. After graduation, he earned his master’s degree in education at Wichita State University. In September 1993, Southwestern College inducted Norwood into its Hall of Fame.

Norwood continued playing basketball playing one season of semi-professional basketball with the Wichita Vickers in the National Industrial BasketballLeague. Norwood also played 17 years of A.A.U. basketball with the May Builders in Arkansas City. Each season, the team would compete in thePhillips 66 Oilers Tournament in Ponca City, Okla. Norwood is a member of that tournament’s Hall of Fame.

Norwood’s 48-year coaching career began in 1957 when he took over the Wichita Biddy Basketball team. Norwood led one squad to a championship in the World Biddy Basketball Tournament. He also had teams finish second, third, fourth and sixth.

In 1968, Norwood was hired an assistant at Wichita East, and a year later he took over the program at Wichita Heights High School. Norwood quickly established himself as one of the top prep coaches in Kansas with an extremely successful eight-year tenure. He led his teams to a 109-56 record and three city championships. His 1975-76 squad finished runner-up in the state tournament, and the 1976-77 team was undefeated and won the 6-A state title. That title enabled Norwood to share with coaching legend Ralph Miller, the distinction of being the only two people in Kansas history to haveplayed on and coached a men’s basketball state championship team.

In addition to his basketball duties, Norwood also coached the Wichita Heights men’s and women’s golf teams, a position he held for seven years.Norwood led his men’s team to the state tournament three times.

Following that memorable season, Norwood jumped to the collegiate ranks, serving as an assistant basketball coach to Ted Owens at the University ofKansas. Norwood first built his reputation as a top recruiter when he assembled teams that helped the Jayhawk compile an 81-38 record in his four seasons(1977-81), and win two Big Eight championships.

Norwood’s next step was to the head coaching position at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, Kan. He also served as JCCC’s men’s basketball head coach for nine seasons (1982-91), compiling a 146-136 career record.

Course Description Hesston Golf Park is one of Kansas’ most popular public golf courses. Designed in 1975 by architect Frank Hummel, this 18-hole par 71 layout presents a challenge to all levels of golf. Hesston Park is not the most diffi­cult courses to play and layout is relatively flat, but what makes Hesston Park so great is that it isn’t trying to be more than what it is, an accessible, economical municipal golf course. Golf Digest magazine ranked Hesston Park the best dollar value in the state, and was given four stars, the only four-star, Top 100 municipal golf courses in Kansas. The fairways at Hesston Park are quite wide open and forgiving. With very little along the lines of out­of-bounds or fairway bunker or water hazard, tee shots are certainly not a player’s biggest worry. There are two distinguishing characteristics at Hesston that truly set it apart from other plains courses. The first is the the par 3’s average 200 yards from the back tees. The other characteristic is every green on the course is elevated.

Course DescriptionAt the northern terminus of the famous Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Huntsville is Hampton Cove, the River Course, the only Robert Trent Jones layout without a sin­gle bunker. The River Course is laid out on former soybean fields in the flood plain ofthe Flint River. The River is a throwback to the way courses were built long ago - thedirt was merely pushed up to create the greens and tees, leaving all else, including mas­sive oak trees, as is. Playing the course one forgets they are in the city. Sixteen of the 18 holes on the River Course feature water. The River Course also is home to a giantblack oak behind the 18th green (first two pictures below) that is said to be the thirdoldest tree in the state at 250 years old. Unfortunately, a recent storm destroyed theold tree and it will soon be cleared from the site. The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail is the largest golf construction project every attempted any where in the world. It stretches from one end of Alabama (our end) to the other, with 378 holes of world-class golf at eight sites. The Trail was named as among the Top 50 Golf destinationsin the world by Golf Digest magazine.

The Birthplace of Alabama

Pioneer John Hunt, for whom the city is named, occupied a cabin alongside a spring here in 1805. A town soonflourished and was the largest in the Alabama Territory by 1819. That year the leaders of the Alabama Territory methere to petition the U.S. Congress to grant Alabama statehood. The recreated 1819 Alabama Constitution Village,a block from the courthouse square, commemorates the historic events through tours given by costumed guides.

Huntsville was the cotton trading center of the Tennessee Valley during the 1840s and '50s when planters and merchants originally from Virginia and the Carolinas built impressive town homes. LeRoy Pope, who purchasedland at auction and donated land for t he town, originally picked the name Twickenham. He wanted to honor theLondon suburb which was home to poet Alexander Pope, a relative. However, following the War of 1812, the namereverted to Huntsville to honor the first white man who settled here.

Walking tours of the Twickenham historic district, with the state's largest collection of pre-Civil War homes, arepopular year-round. Because many wealthy businessmen remained loyal to the Union at the start of the Civil War,the town was spared the destruction by occupying armies. Plan also to visit the 1819 Weeden House Museum andthe 1860 Huntsville Depot Museum. A unique shopping opportunity is offered at the 1879 Harrison BrothersHardware Store. Restored 19th century cabins and farm buildings are displayed at the mountaintop Burritt Museumand Park.

America's Space Capital

Huntsville was still a cotton market town of 16,437 people in 1950 when U.S. Sen. John Sparkman (who lived inHuntsville's historic Twickenham neighborhood) brought a band of German rocket scientists to Redstone Arsenalto develop rockets for the U.S. Army. By the end of the decade, Wernher von Braun's team had developed the rocket which orbited America's first satellite. They eventually put the first American in space and transported thefirst astronauts to the Moon.

Redstone Arsenal is one of the U.S. Army's most important strategic posts. It is responsible for research, development, production and worldwide support of missiles, aviation, rockets and related programs. The influx ofengineers, scientists and other technical specialists has transformed the small town into a cosmopolitan communi­ty which nonetheless maintains its heritage and reputation for hospitality. For more historical information onRedstone Arsenal and Huntsville, visit www.redstone.army.mil/history.

The Huntsville area remains one of the South's fastest-growing. The county's population is estimated at 260,000.It has the highest per capita income in the Southeast. Atlanta's is second. The nearby city of Madison, just west ofCummings Research Park, is experiencing rapid growth. The Hampton Cove area on U.S. 431 south is the fastestgrowing residential area within Huntsville's city limits.

A legacy of the space program which benefits visitors is the renowned U.S. Space & Rocket Center. Guests can experience astronaut-training activities, feel simulated weightlessness and view large-screen movies filmed by astronauts in space. The Center's U.S. Space Camp attracts young people from throughout the world who spenda week experiencing space flight training and participate in mock space missions. It was Von Braun himself whoinspired Space Camp. He suggested that the space museum develop an intensive youth science program to stimulate chidren's interest in math and science. Guided bus tours of the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center takevisitors through large hangar-sized buildings such as where engineers are building the nation's first permanentspace station. They also visit giant outdoor test stands where America's rockets have been test fired.

Also posting top-10 finishes were Nate Sargent and Miles Christensen. Sargent placed sixth overall with a 235 total. That effort secured him a final spot among the top five point leaders in the conference for the seson, and first-team all-conference honors. Christensen tied for eighth with a 239 and earned enough points to finish in the top 10 in overall points, which earned him second-team all-confernce honors.

One of the NJCAA’s most prolific conferences, the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference is dedicated to achieving the highest goals in the integra­tion of academic and athletic endeavors. Individually, member schools have long been respected for successes both in its classrooms and its stadiums.

In all, the KJCCC is home to more than 3,000 stu­dent-athletes on 233 teams in the 19 men’s and women’s KJCCC-sponsored sports. The men’s pro­grams regulated by the conference include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor/outdoor track and field, soccer, tennis and wrestling. The KJCCC-regulated women’s programs include basket­ball, cross country, golf, indoor/outdoor track and field, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball.

Entering the 2007-08 competitive seasons for 10 men’s championships and 10 women’s title-attaining sports, KJCCC member institutions can boast of 110 NJCAA National Championships in 12 different men’s and women’s sports. However, the success of the conference from 1990 through the spring of 2007 is unprecedent­ed. Of the 111 national titles, 76 have come during that span, 38 during the 1990s and another 38 in the first seven years of the new millennium. In addition, 16 of its 19 members have won at least one national cham­pionship, and 12 have won two or more.

The KJCCC has produced more than 4,000 NJCAA All-Americans and a number of athletes have contin­ued to excel on the NAIA, NCAA, Olympic and pro­fessional levels.

At the 2004 Olympics, former Barton County athletes earned a total of seven medals, including three gold medals. Among that group was Veronica Campbell, who won gold in the 200-meters and 4x100, and bronze in the 100-meters for Jamaica, and former Cougar Derrick Brew ran a leg on USA’s gold medal 4x400 relay.

Former Cowley baseball standouts Junior Spivey and Travis Hafner, and Fort Scott first baseman Adam LaRoche are making an impact at the Major League level, and former Kansas City Kansas sluggers David Segui and Kevin Young combined for 27 years of ser­vice, 2,419 hits and 283 home runs at the Major League level.

The Jayhawk Conference has also made an impact in the NFL, with 160 former players having played for all 32 teams in the league. Among that group include for­mer Garden City running back Corey Dillon and for­mer Coffeyville running back Mike Rozier, who also was the Heisman Trophy winner in 1983 at the University of Nebraska, and former Raven Brandon Jacobs, a starting running back for the 2008 World Champion New York Giants.

In professional basketball, 27 former players have played in the NBA. In 1999, former Barton County center Alek Radojevic made history when he was select­ed in the first round by the Toronto Raptors with the 12th pick overall. On the women’s side, 10 former players have gone on to pro careers in the WNBA and ABL, including former Butler County guard Betty Lennox, who was the 2004 WNBA Finals MVP.

Several former athletes also went on to pro career in sports different from what they played while attending KJCCC schools. Basketball players Marcus Pollard of

Seward County, James’ Buster” Douglas of Coffeyville and Steve Fritz of Hutchinson all went on to have suc­cessful professional careers in other sports. Pollard has played 12 seasons at a tight end in the NFL. Douglas is a former undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion, and scored the biggest upset in the history of the sport by knocking out Mike Tyson in 1990 in Tokyo. Fritz was the 1997 U.S. national champion in the decathlon. He also hit the game-winning shot to give Hutchinson the 1988 national basketball title.

Organized in 1923, the Jayhawk Community College Conference arose out of the special needs of Kansas community colleges to create an organization which would further the best interests of intercollegiate ath­letics. Originally named the Kansas Public Junior College Association, the name Kansas Jayhawk Junior College Conference was adopted in 1962. Thirteen years later, the name as it is known today, the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference was adopt­ed.

Composed of five members at the onset, the conference has changed its makeup several times. Long respected as the leader in academics and athletics in the NJCAA, the conference today has grown to a membership of 19 community colleges from the state of Kansas, divided into two divisions, the East and West.

Seven individuals have held the title of commissioner. Bryce Roderick, the current commissioner, is serving his fifth year at the helm. Roderick began his service as commissioner in July of 2003, succeeding Bennie Lee. He served one year as his assistant before taking the helm.

Roderick began his service to community colleges in 1973 when he was selected to the Garden City Community College Board of Trustees. He was elect­ed to four terms and served 16 years. In July of 1989, he was hired as the Director of Recreational Sports and Coordinator of Facilities at GCCC, and served as Assistant Athletic Director until 2002. Roderick began his service to the NJCAA as Assistant Region VI Women’s Director in 1995 and became Region VI Director in 1996. He has served on the NJCAA Executive Committee and the Board of Directors of USA Track and Field. He is also co-chair of the NJCA Half Marathon, Cross Country and Track and Field Committees and serves on the NJCAA Volleyball and Softball Committees.

Last April at the NJCAA annual meeting, Roderick was awarded the George E. Killian Award of Excellence. This award is given to individuals dedicated to the ideals of volunteerism, achievement, service, leadership and excellence. Roderick is only the second women’s director to receive this prestigious award.

Did You Know? The idea for the NJCAA was conceived in 1937 at Fresno, Calif., and in 1938, the constitution was accepted and the NJCAA became a functioning orga­nization. The initial activity sponsored by the NJCAA was track and field. The NJCAA was fast gaining national recognition, and in 1949, the NJCAA reorga­nized by dividing the nation into 16 regions. Additionally, Hutchinson, Kan., became the site for the national office and the NJCAA Championship Basketball Tournament. The office remained in Hutchinson until 1985, when the NJCAA moved to Colorado Springs, Colo. Today, the NJCAA member­ship consists of over 500 institutions and 45,000 stu­dent-athletes.

Course DescriptionAt the northern terminus of the famous Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Huntsville is Hampton Cove, the River Course, the only Robert Trent Jones layout without asingle bunker. The River Course is laid out on former soybean fields in the floodplain of the Flint River. The River is a throwback to the way courses were built longago - the dirt was merely pushed up to create the greens and tees, leaving all else,including massive oak trees, as is. Playing the course one forgets they are in the city.Sixteen of the 18 holes on the River Course feature water. The River Course also is home to a giant black oak behind the 18th green (first two pictures below) that issaid to be the third oldest tree in the state at 250 years old. Unfortunately, a recentstorm destroyed the old tree and it will soon be cleared from the site. The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail is the largest golf construction project every attempted anywhere in the world. It stretches from one end of Alabama (our end) to the other,with 378 holes of world-class golf at eight sites. The Trail was named as among theTop 50 Golf destinations in the world by Golf Digest magazine.

Jay Kramer NJCAA All-American • 2nd Team • 2004-05

Jay Kramer became the first player in Johnson County Community College golf history to gar­ner NJCAA All-America accolades. Kramer reg­istered a tie for seventh at the 2005 NJCAA National Golf Championship at Mariah Hills Golf Course in Dodge City, Kan. Kramer fired rounds of 78, 74, 69 and 73 for a 294 total, just six strokes off the pace set by Ryan Zamarano of Paris. Kramer’s performance earned him second-team NJCAA All-American and all-tournament accolades. He is the first All-American in team history, and second to earn all-tournament. His performance helped the Cavaliers to a seventh-place team finish, the best in team history.

Kramer set team records for lowest scoring total in a national tournament and best individual finish. His 294 total edged the record set by Tommy Clifford at the 2004 national tournament. Kramer’s 221 total for three rounds also was a team record, and his round of 69 is the lowest round recorded in a national tour­nament. In fact, Kramer was the first player in the field to fire a round under 70. Eight other players later joined him in the third round.

While Kramer’s 69 on Thursday was impressive, so was his 78 on Tuesday in extremely windy conditions. Only 28 of 105 players in the championship broke 80 in the opening round.

For the season, Kramer registered nine top 10 finishes, including two victories. He also earned all-conference, team MVP and JCCC Male Athlete of the Year.

2008 District III Review Johnson County finished fifth overall in the District III Championship at Wild Horse Golf Club in Gothenburg, Neb., the team’s lowest highest finish since 1997. The Cavaliers were led by sopomore Keith Erickson. He placed in a tie for eighth overall with a 54-hole total of 227 (75, 75, 77). That effort earned him All-District honors.

Officially, the 2008 District Tournament had no bearing on who qualified for the NJCAA Touranment. In 2004, the national tour­naemnt became an open tournament to any program wishing to compete for the national title. However, in 2009, teams will again need to qualify for the NJCAA National Tournament.

PGA Players Two former Region VI/District Champions have gone on to compete on the PGA Tour. Steve Gotche, the 1980 winner from Barton County, made his PGA Tour debut in 2000, after earning his tour card by finishing among the top-15 money winners on the Nike Tour in 1999.

Robert Russell, who won the the 1995 region and national titles for Kansas City Kansas, qualified for the 1999 U.S. Open held at Pinehurst’s No. 2 course. However, Russell did not make the cut.

A former standout golfer at JCCC and a member of the first golf team, Randy Towner became the first person to play in a profes­sional golf tournament in JCCC history. Towner, a current PGA Class A Head Golf Professional at Alvamar Golf Club, qualified for the 2007 United States Senior Open Championship at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wis., by winning a local qualifying tourna­

ment at Oakwood Country Club in June, 2007. The U.S. Senior Open was held July 5th­8th.

JCCC in Rolling Stone In the October 15 1998 issue of Rolling Stone mag­azine, JCCC was listed as one of the most respected community colleges in the country, one that could be viewed as a guide to evaluating others. The article mentioned JCCC’s small classes, the high number of full-time professors, the college’s Career Center, the college’s ties with local businesses, and its curricula that responds to local needs, citing both the railroad and information technology programs as examples. In addition, to its recent pop status, JCCC has received a lot of recognition for educa­tional excellence over the years.

Learning comes first at JCCC. Since its founding in 1969, Johnson County Community College has been committed to serving the needs of Johnson County residents for higher education and lifelong learning. The college seeks to provide educational leadership while responding to the identified needs of the community by providing high-quality education­al programs that are accessible to all who can benefit from them.

With over 19,000 credit students and an equal number of continuing education students enrolled each semester, JCCC is the state’s third largest institution of higher education and the largest of its 19 community colleges. JCCC is fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, and is a member of the League for Innovation.

As it has grown, JCCC has added faculty and staff. There are now more than 730 full-time faculty and staff, with a ratio to students nearly identical to that of a decade ago. Many of our faculty have doctorates and almost all have master’s degrees. Faculty consistently receive top national awards for excellence in teaching and for developing innovative approaches to class­room work. Innovation and excellence are the hallmarks of the academic program at JCCC. An outstanding faculty is the cornerstone of the institution.

The 234-acre campus, which opened in 1972 with six buildings, is located at the center of the county at the intersection of College Boulevard and Quivira Road. In recent years, new buildings have been constructed at a steady pace. The Carlsen Center (originally the Cultural Educaton Center), completed in 1990, provides the county’s first performing arts complex and houses JCCC’s burgeoning community education program. The Classroom Laboratory Building, featuring a state-of-the-art computer lab, opened in January 1993. There are 19 major buildings on campus, including the Police Academy and Horticultural Science Center, constructed in 2001, and the recently constructed Regnier Center and the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, both which open in the fall, 2007.

JCCC offers a full range of undergraduate credit courses that form the first two years of most college curricula. Class size averages 25 to 40 students, which is much lower than many larger colleges and universities. Courses are offered throughout the day and evening, and on Saturdays and at students’ convenience. Telecourses are available on videocassette or through the county’s cable television system. The college has more than 100 transfer agree­ments with regional colleges and universities, which assure admittance without loss of time

or credit. More than 50 one- and two-year career and certificate programs pre­pare students to enter the job market in high-employment fields. It is even pos­sible for students to attend classes on the JCCC campus and earn a bachelor’s degree from a four-year school through one of JCCC’s many partnerships with Kansas and Missouri colleges and universities.

JCCC’s continuing education program is the largest, most comprehensive in the Kansas City area, offering workshops and seminars for business and industry, computer training, professional relicensure and recertification, and personal enrichment. The college’s Center for Business and Technology provides public seminars and contract training in management and supervisory skills and the lat­est training available in computer software applications and information tech­nology. The center also assists local companies in applying for grants available from the Kansas Department of Commerce to pay for workforce training for newly created jobs o jobs requiring new skills.

JCCC has had tremendous success as an educational institution because of its commitment to the community. In 2003 the college received the Kansas Excellence Award, the highest level of recognition for quality given by the Kansas Award for Excellence Foundation. The KAE award is presented to organizations that have demonstrated through theirpractices and achievements the highest and most consistent level of excellence. Organizations recognized at this level are considered role models for other Kansas institutions. That’s JCCC.

JCCC Student Center The hill in front of the Student Center is a popular place on cam­pus, in warm or coldweather. The JCCC Student Center opened in 1999. Students find every­thing they need – fromacademic advisingthrough registration tofinancial aid – under one roof in JCCC’s Student Center.

ss JCCC Academic Excellence

The Johnson County Community College athletic staff knows what to look for in a prospective stu­dent-athlete. To be a Cavalier is to have the deter­mination to succeed – not only on the playing field but in the classroom as well. Balancing aca­demic achievement with athletic success is a primary focus of Johnson County Community College athletics. To help achieve that balance, JCCC offers some of the best academic support services in college athletics. The purpose of the academic counseling program is to provide a well-organized and systematic approach to bal­ancing the rigorous demands of academics and athletics at Johnson County.

Many elements have gone into making Johnson County’s athletes champions in the classroom in addition to being respected in their competitive fields: recruitment of quali­ty students, strictly monitored counseling ser­vices, study halls and increased academic monitoring by the coaches. JCCC coaches work hand-in-hand with their team’s individ­ual academic advisor in monitoring their stu­dent-athlete’s academic progress. They also work with each student-athlete individually to help keep academics a priority and on

track toward a degree. When it comes to academics, every measure is taken to ensure student-athletes are given the necessary support to reach their potential.

“Our student-athletes frequently note that they chose Johnson County not only for its strong athletic traditions but for its outstanding academic repu­tation,” said JCCC athletic director Carl Heinrich. “They realize the academic challenges that lie ahead, but understand the importance of strong academic prepara­tion for their future careers.”

• JCCC’s fastpitch softball team has been honored as National Academic Champions five times (1992, 1994, 2000, 2001, 2004).

• Since 2000, JCCC has produced 98 NJCAA Academic All-Americans in all sports. Johnson County Community College led the nation in 2006 producing 16 NJCAA Acadmeic All-American.

• In 2004-05 and 2005-06, nearly 60 percent of JCCC’s student-athletes maintained a grade point average of 3.0. Each student was recognized at the JCCC Academic Awards Night.

President • 2nd Year Dr. Terry Calaway has a simple but direct philosophy: The community college is the heart of the community and engine of workforce develop­ment. His energy is contagious, and his mission is proactive.

“I think you’ll find my style is to be well prepared. I don’t encounter a lot of surprises in a situation,” Calaway said. “My job is to create a best future for the college.”

On June 18, 2007, Calaway became JCCC’s fifth president since the college opened its doors in 1969. He succeeds Dr. Robert Harris (1968), Dr. John Cleek (1975), Dr. Charles Carlsen (1981) and interim president Dr. Larry Tyree (2006).

Most recently Calaway served at Central Arizona College, Coolidge, as vice-president, academic and student services (March 199-2003) and then president and chief executive officer (January 2004-June 2007).

Athletics Director • 9th Year The leader behind one of the nation’s more successful athletics programs, Carl Heinrich begins his ninth season as ath­letics director at Johnson County Community College. Heinrich has guided JCCC through some of the school’s most dynamic times since assuming the position as JCCC’s fourth athletics director in the fall of 2000. Heinrich has been associated with Johnson County, either as a coach or administrator since the fall of 1991. He oversees a 40-year-old department that

now fields 18 varsity sports, and continues to lead the Johnson County Community College athletics program in a positive direction.

The hallmark of Heinrich’s time as the JCCC’s athletics director has been the overall excellence of his entire program, with every Cavaliers’ sport achieving a new pinnacle. During his tenure at Johnson County Community College, the Cavaliers have claimed six of the school’s eight NJCAA National Championships, 42 NJCAA Region VI titles and 44 Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference Eastern Division titles. Additionally under Heinrich’s guidance, a total of 98 teams have earned NJCAA National Tournament berths, with 38 finishing among the top-five nationally.

Some of the other highlights of JCCC’s athletics success in Heinrich’s nine years at the helm include 371 athletes earning NJCAA All-America accolades, and a majority of the 18 sports pro­grams being ranked in the National Top 20 each year. In 2004-05, 15 of JCCC’s 18 sports appeared in the national rankings. A year earlier, 16 of 18 were ranked nationally. In 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08, 17 of the Cavaliers’s 18 sports appeared in national rankings.

With all of JCCC’s Athletics’ sto­ried history in mind, one would be hard-pressed to find a more success­ful year at Johnson County than in 2004-05. The JCCC athletics department finished second behind Mesa Community College in the final NATYCAA (National Alliance of Two Year College Athletic Administrators) Cup standings, the national all-sports competition that rec­ognizes all NJCAA Championship sports for both men’s and women’s athlet­ics and ranks the top overall athletics programs in the country. The second-place showing marked JCCC’s top finish in the history of the award, topping its sixth-place showing in its inaugural year. In 2005-06, the third year of the competition, JCCC finished third in the standings, and the following year,

JCCC added another third-place trophy to its collection. However, last sea­son was the pinnacle, as JCCC was crowned the NATYCAA Cup champions, accumulating 142 points for their first every cup championship. JCCC had seven teams finish in the top five nationally in 2007-08, and four others fin­ish in the top 10. JCCC athletes garnered 57 All-America honors, 76 All-Region selections and 129 earned All-Jayhawk Conference accolades. Additionally, Heinrich was named as the Astro Turf Athletics Director of the Year at the National Association of Collegiate Directors of America (NACDA) convention in June, 2008. He was the Central District winner at the Junior College/Community College level.

The foundation for success began immediately, as all 16 sports reached the postseason, with 13 making their respective NJCAA championship in his first season at the helm. That trend continued in his second year, as all 16 again qualified for postseason, with 12 teams reaching NJCAA championship play. In 2002-03, all 16 teams qualified for postseason play, and 10 teams com­peted for a national title. In 2003-04 JCCC added men’s and women’s 1/2 marathon, upping the department’s program total to 18 varsity sports. That

season 12 teams reached NJCAA championship play. In 2004-05, again 12 teams competed for a national championship, and last year, 12 of the 18 sports qualified for NJCAA Championship play.

In 2000-01, JCCC’s intercollegiate won-loss record was 314-122-1, a superb .720 overall winning effort. Included in that total was a stun­ning 125-44-1 record compiled by JCCC’s women’s intercollegiate teams. The 2001-02 campaign nearly mirrored that success, as JCCC’s teams registered a won-loss record of 331-115-3, a winning per­centage of .740. In 2002-03, JCCC athletics registered a .683 winning percentage posting a won-loss mark of 296-137-2. In 2003-04, the men’s and women’s teams combined for a .669 winning percentage with a 275-136 record. Three years ago the teams combined for a mark of 300-114 for a .725 percentage. Two years ago JCCC teams combined for a 286-151-1 record, a winning .653. In 2006-07, JCCC posted a winning percentage of .741 with a combined mark of 644-218-9.

Along with the unprecedented on­the-field successes, JCCC also reached new heights in the class­room. During the past eight years, Johnson County student-athletes have earned 87 NJCAA Academic All-America accolades, including 15 in 2002-03 and 11 in 2003-04. In the 2005-06 season, JCCC led the

country with 16 individual earning Academic All-America status, and in 2006-07, JCCC was again among the national leaders with 13 individual Academic All-Americans. Last year, JCCC was among the top 10 national­ly with 11 total Academic All-American. Also, nearly 50 percent of the stu­dent-athletes at JCCC maintained a grade point average of 3.0 or better. The 2000-01 and 2003-04 academic year would bring national academic cham­pionships to the softball program. In 2002-03, eight of JCCC’s 16 sports reg­istered a team grade point average above 3.0, and seven of those teams were

The floor has a 7-millimeter rubber mat topped with 2-millimeters ofpolyurethane. Its size is so immense that upkeep requires two ridingmachines - a sweeper and scrubber, each the size of a small streetcleaner.

A 200-meter track with six lanes, three for walking and three for running, circles a central, multifunctional area. The multifunctional area can be configured for basketball, volleyball, badminton and tennis courts using retractable partitions.

Sycamore Ridge Golf Course Sycamore Ridge was the home for the JCCC golf team in 2007-08, and its fourth home course since the program was reinstated in the fall, 1991. Located in Spring Hill, Kan., Sycramore Ridge has been rated one of Kansas’ top 10 courses by Golf Digest the last three years, and the number one rated golf course in Kansas City by the Kansas City Star four years run­ning. This par 72, design offers five sets of tees, accommodating all players ability levels. Bent grass tees, fairways and greens accompanied by zoysia collars create an ideal playing surface. Sycamore Ridge has an impressive layout. A links style front nine switches to a forested back nine crisscrossed by streams and punctuated with challenging elevations. The par 4 12th hole, Sycamore Ridge "Signature Hole", is all about options. From hitting a long iron, to three wood, or driver, this is definitely a risk and reward hole. The creek guards the entire right side of the hole. The 10th is a lengthy and narrow par 4 and is considered the toughest hole on the course. Narrow and sloping right to left, the key off the tee is to stay in play, avoid­ing the trees on both sides and water in front on the green.
