The Eastern Michigan University Women’s Cross Country team has high hopes for the 2010 season. Last years sixth place finish at the Mid-American Conference Championship was the Eagles best finish since 2000. Head Coach sue Parks hopes to build off of last years’ efforts and carry it over into the upcoming season. “We felt that we made a good jump from previous seasons,” Parks said. “We are moving in the right direction, and our goal this year is to make another significant jump and make it to the top three or four in the

MAC. It’s been a tough climb to get up there with the top teams, but we feel like we are moving in the right direction this year and hopefully we can make a big jump.” With the departure of seniors Jacqueline ellis and Megan flewelling, a young and talented core of returners will fuel the Eagles attempts to rise to the top of the MAC. Part of that young talent includes 2009 First Team All-MAC honoree Courtney Calka (livonia, Mich. – stevenson), who placed 6th overall with a 22:35.6 finish in the MAC Championship in 2009.

She also earned All-Region accolades after a 17th place finish at the Great Lakes Regional. As a freshman, Calka paced the Eagles in every race throughout the season. Parks said that Calka will be relied upon to do much of the same in the 2010 campaign. “She had a great freshman year, and the goal is to be a little bit better than where you ended up last year. When you start as high as she did, it can be a little bit difficult. It’s not going to be easy up front, but I think she is definitely capable. She works hard, she has

high expectations, she wants to get the best out of herself, and she does all of the right things.” Calka is not alone in terms of young talent. She will be surrounded by other underclassmen that also hope to build upon their freshman successes. Sophomores rachel Quaintance (White lake, Mich. – Walled lake northern) and Tiffany Kincaid (Clarkston, Mich. – Clarkston) showed much promise in 2009. “Tiffany showed great consistency, and Rachel had her moments where she had really strong races,” said Parks. “They have a year of experience under their belt and both ran really well in the 10,000, so we expect good things from them this year. Sophomore Christina farrow (rochester hills, Mich. – renaissance) showed much improvement and developed well toward the end of the season in 2009. Cassie Coffman (Chelsea, Mich. – Chelsea) comes as a converted sprinter who ran her first season for cross country last year. “She is a hard worker and did a really nice job for us last year. I think she is going to continue to improve,” commented Parks. Morgan Churchwell (ada, Mich. – forest hills Central) is a red-shirt sophomore that will be a key contributor to the mix according to Parks. Rounding out the sophomore class are lauren

lunsford (Miamisburg, ohio – Miamisburg) and Beth Zimpfer (Maplewood, ohio – Jackson Center). “We had a really young team last year,” said Parks. “The nucleus of last years’ team is going to be our big contributors. We had 3 strong freshmen and a large sophomore class, so we have a lot returning as far as our scorers and contributors. I feel they will be a year better, a year stronger, and hopefully a year faster.” The Eagles will also bring in two freshman for 2010 with Kaitlin fenech (Dearborn, Mich. - Divine Child) and Brooke sciullo (Dublin, ohio- Dublin Coffman). Along with talented underclassmen are the experienced junior and senior classes. Junior rachel hollinger-Janzen (Goshen, Ind. – Goshen) placed in the top ten in three

meets in 2009, highlighted by a fourth place finish at the George Dales Invitational with a 22:50.2 finish. “Rachel has always been a solid, steady runner,” said Parks. “She is a true long-distance athlete, who has been very consistent for us. You always know what you’re going to get out of her.” Along with Hollinger-Janzen, Parks added that Junior natalie Webb (allen Park, Mich. – Woodhaven) will contribute as a big scorer in 2010. “These two led the way two years ago as freshman when we were trying to build the program. Natalie was a strong front-runner for us that year. She’s struggled with injuries but appears to be bouncing back and returning better than ever. Expectations are high for her in her comeback this fall.”

amber hutson (Jerome, Mich. – hanover horton) finishes out the junior class for the Eagles. Seniors Beverly elcock (ft. Wayne, ind. – northrop) and lauren Quaintance (White lake, Mich. – Walled lake northern) look to lead the Eagles to a successful 2010 season. Elcock placed 22nd in the MAC Championship in 2009, 33 places higher than her 2008 finish, earning her Most Improved honors from her teammates and coaches. “Beverly was coming off of an injury last season,” said Parks. “We hope to get her back in the mix this year. She is so tough and competitive.” Parks also had good things to say about her other senior, “Lauren is putting a lot of emphasis in the cross country season and has had a really good summer of running. In our first practice of timed effort, she is up there with the front-runners. She is someone who would be a big factor on the team.” Together this team will face a challenging schedule for 2010. Parks is happy with the schedule, which will help prepare her squad for the MAC Championship on October 30, “I think it’s a good mix of large meets and builds as the season goes on. We have some weeks off to focus on training or clear up any issues with injury or illness. It gives us the opportunity to be where we want to be by the MAC Championship.” One meet that Parks is especially excited about is the George Dales Invitational at Western Michigan University. The Eagles will get the opportunity to run the same course used for the 2010 MAC Championship. “This meet will allow us to set the tone to how we want to compete on

that particular course,” Parks said. “You always want to have a good feel for the course that you’re going to be running on for a big meet later in the season. It will be a meet we will want to focus on.” A new meet for the Eagles will be the Adidas Invitational in Madison, Wisconsin, where they will face off against the top levels of competition and nationally ranked teams. Parks feels this is beneficial to help prepare for the MAC Championship. “We need to run against that kind of competition if we are going to be a top MAC team. We’re going to dive in and compete against the best to see how we stack up.” The Penn State National Invite on October 16 will also feature the nations best, which will further help preparations for the Mid-American Conference Championship on October 30. Overall, Parks is very excited about what lies ahead for 2010. With a talented group returning, a year of experience behind them, and a challenging schedule, the Eagles look to continue improving and building a strong program. “We’re really excited about the season,” Parks stated. “Even though it is the same team we had last year, every year is different, and we are going to set our goals high, and work hard to reach them in order to continue our climb up toward the top of the MAC.”

The Eastern Michigan University women’s cross country team headed up to Glen Arbor, Mich. to prepare for the 2010 season. On August 29, 15 team members made the five-day excursion for camp, which was sponsored in part from funds donated by former EMU men’s distance runner, Dan McClory.

The squad stayed near the beautiful Sleeping Bear Dunes, where they were able to train on nice trails and enjoy the scenery. Coach Parks took advantage of the trip as a great way for the team to bond and work on establishing goals for the upcoming season.

With more than 200 academic and social orga-nizations, an extensive intramural sports program, 21 NCAA Division I-A sports and numerous cultural activities from which to choose, EMU students have diverse opportunities to become involved in campus life. Students’ on-campus housing choices range from traditional dormitory-style rooms to apart-ments and include living/learning center options.

Where We’re Located Eastern Michigan University is located in historic Ypsilanti, seven miles east of Ann Arbor, 40 miles west of Detroit and just 20 minutes from Detroit Metropolitan Airport. It is an area rich in academic, research, technological and recreational resources. The University also has sites in Livonia, Jackson, Traverse City, Flint, Detroit and Monroe. EMU’s 800 plus-acre main campus of scenic flora and wooded areas includes 18 miles of walkways and jogging trails and has 122 buildings throughout the academic and athletic campuses. Eagle Crest – Eastern Michigan’s conference center, golf course and resort – is located on the banks of nearby Ford Lake. Recently named “A Cool City,” by Michigan’s Governor Jennifer Granholm, Ypsilanti plays a leading role in industry and education. The city and the University have forged close ties that have lasted 160 years.

What Makes Us Unique In 1849, with the passage of Act No. 138, the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Michigan formally paved the way for the establishment of Michigan State Normal School, with the exclu-sive purposes of instructing persons in the art of teaching; providing a good common school education; and giving instruction in the mechanic arts, husbandry, agricultural chemistry and the laws of the United States. Since its inception, Eastern Michigan, first as a Normal School, then as a College and finally as a Uni-versity, has grown and developed to respond to the ever-changing needs of society. Over the years, EMU has educated thousands of sons and daughters of Michigan, the nation, and the world. The University currently serves nearly 22,000 students who are pursuing undergraduate, graduate, specialist, doctoral and certificate degrees in the arts, sciences and professions. In all, more than 200 majors, minors and concentrations are delivered through the University’s Colleges of Arts and Sciences; Business; Education; Health and Human Services; Technology, and its graduate school. Eastern Michigan’s exceptional faculty, students and alumni include CEOs from major businesses; a National Student Teacher of the Year, National Teacher of the Year, numerous Fulbright Scholars and Milken Family Foundation National Educators award winners; and several Michigan Teachers of the Year. EMU is regularly recognized by national publications for its excellence, diversity, and commitment to applied education.

Faculty/Staff Eastern Michigan University employs 689 full-time faculty and 1,100 staff members. Ninety-four percent of EMU professors have doctoral degrees or terminal degrees in their field. The student to faculty ratio is 19:1. Faculty work closely with students, and many involve students in their research. In 2009, the Uni-versity celebrated its 29th annual Undergraduate Symposium; a benchmark program for undergradu-ate research.

Community Outreach Eastern Michigan is making an impact nationally by channeling its academic research as a means of solving real-world problems. EMU currently has 14 research institutes and centers that focus on com-munity building and civic engagement, quality, com-munity and regional development, small business development, geospatial education, textiles, export assistance and product development. EMU is well known for merging theory and practice for the benefit of the community. Applied research leads to new knowledge, new jobs and new business. Annually, the university receives about $15 million in revenues for sponsored research and community service activities.

The Alumni Association Representing more than 142,000 alumni and friends, the Alumni Association sponsors social and service-related programs for more than 20 geographically-based and special-interest alumni chapters.

EMU’s Economic Impact Since its founding in 1849, Eastern Michigan has provided quality services to the residents of Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, the State of Michigan and other states and nations. EMU’s total impact on the Michigan economy of an estimated $3 billion annually reflects a return of more than $30 for each dollar received from the state. The University’s total impact on the Michigan economy results in a contribution of $115 million in state tax revenue. Thus, EMU’s impact on state government tax revenue is $1.25 in taxes for each dollar received from the state.

Mission Statement Eastern Michigan University is com-mitted to excellence in teaching through traditional and innovative approaches, the extension of knowledge through basic and applied research, and creative and artistic expression. Building on a proud tradition of na-tional leadership in the preparation of teach-ers, we maximize educational opportunities and personal and professional growth for students from diverse backgrounds through an array of baccalaureate, master’s and doc-

toral programs. We strive to provide a student-focused learning environment that enhances the lives of students and positively impacts the community. We extend our commitment beyond the campus boundaries to the wider community through service initiatives, and public and private partnerships of mutual interest addressing local, regional, national and international opportunities and challenges.

Our History When the state of Michigan was just 12 years old, Michigan State Normal School was designated by the state legislature as the first institution to educate teachers to serve the public schools. The University thus began, somewhat humbly, as the sixth teacher education institution in the nation. A campus that today comprises more than 800 acres was once a four-acre plot with one building and two programs of study – a classical course and an English Course. The school’s name has changed several times – to Michigan State Normal College in 1899; to Eastern Michigan College in 1956; and finally to Eastern Michigan University in 1959. During its first 100 years, the institution certified thousands of teachers and developed the broad-based curricula that ultimately prepared it for university status. Within that new university, three colleges emerged: Education, Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School. The University has since expanded three more times; adding the College of Business in 1964, the College of Health and Human Services in 1975 and the College of Technology in 1980. More recently Eastern Michigan has developed Extended Programs that include Continuing Education, the Centers for Corporate Training, the World College and numerous community-focused institutes. The University has enhanced its learning environment through structural initiatives during the past several years. Recent construction includes the Terrestrial and Aquatic Research Facility (1998), the Convocation Center (1998), the Bruce T. Halle Library (1998), the John W. Porter College of Educa-tion Building (1999), the Everett L. Marshall College of Health and Human Services Building (2000), the Village residence hall (2001), University House (2003) and the Student Center (2006).

The City of Ypsilanti Ypsilanti is a city in Washtenaw County with a population of 22,362. Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a French-Canadian fur trader from Montreal, a permanent settlement was established on the east side of the Huron River in 1823 by Major Thomas Woodruff. It was incorporated into the Territory of Michigan as the village Woodruff’s Grove. A separate com-munity a short distance away on the west side of the river was established in 1825 under the name “Ypsilanti”, after Demetrius Ypsilanti, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. Woodruff’s Grove changed its name to Ypsilanti in 1829, and the two communities eventually merged. Henry Ford and the automotive industry came to Ypsilanti in the 1930s and beautiful Ford Lake was created to generate hydroelectric power for the manufacturing plants. During World War II, Ypsilanti became home to the Willow Run Bomber Plant, a factory that would employ 100,000 work-ers.

Entering her third year as the presi-dent of Eastern Michigan University, Dr. Susan W. Martin has made a sig-nificant impact on the campus in her short time in Ypsilanti. Named the 22nd president of EMU May 14, 2008, she is the first female president in EMU’s 161-year history. Martin officially took office July 7, 2008. “I am thrilled to be chosen for the honor of leading this great University, which has a strong history of excel-lent education and a bright future,” said Martin. During her inaugural address Mar-tin set fourth an ambitious vision for the university. The goals included building on the pillars of academic excellence, refreshing alumni rela-tionships, comprehensive fundrais-ing and earning the public’s trust. Under Martin’s guidance in 2008, EMU was again recognized as a “Best Midwestern College” by The Princeton Review for the sixth straight year. Ad-

ditionally, for the fifth con-secutive year, The Princ-eton Review recognized Eastern’s College of Busi-ness as one of the “Best 296 Business Schools” in the nation. Eastern Michigan also was awarded a 2009 Michigan Historic Preservation Net-work’s (MHPN) Govern-ment/Institutional Award for its preservation of the University’s core historic campus. Prior to coming to EMU, Martin was the provost and vice-chancellor of academic affairs at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. The majority of Martin’s higher education career was at Grand Valley State University, where she taught and published as a

professor of accounting and taxation. Martin served as director of the mas-ter of taxation program, director of international business programs, and chair of the accounting and taxation department. In June 2001, Martin joined the GVSU provost’s office and served in roles as assistant, associate, and ex-

ecutive associate vice president of academic affairs. One of her major duties in that office was to help man-age the $154 million budget for the Academic Affairs Division. Before GVSU, Martin was deputy state treasurer for the Bureau of Local Government Services for Michigan from June 1981-June 1984. She also was the commissioner of revenue for the state of Michigan from 1985-1988. Martin is chair of the State of Michi-gan Hospital Finance Authority, originally appointed by former Gov. Blanchard and then reappointed by Governors Engler and Jennifer Gra-nholm. She also was appointed by Gov. Granholm to serve as her ex-officio representative on The Detroit Medical Center Financial Emergency Task Force in 2003-2004. Martin received her doctoral de-gree in accounting from Michigan State University in 1988 and her mas-ter’s degree in accounting from MSU in 1976. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Central Michigan Uni-versity in 1971. In 2009, Martin received the MSU Department of Accounting and Infor-mation Systems Alumna of the Year Award. Martin is married and has three children.

nCaa Compliance The Eastern Michigan University Office of Athletics Compliance is committed to a com-prehensive compliance program that edu-cates student-athletes, prospective student-athletes, institutional employees, community members and boosters about the importance of adhering to NCAA, Mid-American Confer-ence and institutional rules. The commitment to compliance ensures institutional control over the department of athletics. The exis-tence of a successful compliance program de-pends on the willingness of coaches, adminis-trators, staff, student-athletes and boosters to be cognizant of NCAA, MAC and institutional rules.

WHAT IS COMPLIANCE? At Eastern Michigan University, the Office of Compliance works within the department of athletics and the University to ensure EMU's compliance with all applicable NCAA, MAC and institutional rules. In doing so, the com-pliance office is charged with the following tasks:

Educating administrators, coaches, staff, •prospective student-athletes, current student-athletes and boosters about NCAA, MAC and institutional rules;Developing monitoring systems to en-•sure compliance with NCAA, MAC and institutional rules (e.g., recruiting, aca-demic eligibility, financial aid, awards and benefits, amateurism and agents);Investigating and reporting violations of •NCAA, MAC and institutional rules.

ARE YOU A BOOSTER? You are a booster if you are or ever have:

Been a member of a booster organiza-•tion that supports EMU athletics (e.g., EMU Athletic Club, E-Gridiron Group);Made any financial contributions to the •athletics department;Been involved in promoting EMU's ath-•letics program;Been a season ticket holder; or•Provided benefits to enrolled student-•athletes or their relatives or friends.

You can become a booster if you provide benefits to prospects, student-athletes, their relatives or friends and any of the following statements are true:

The relationship between the athlete (or •parents of the athlete) and the individual providing the benefits developed as a re-sult of the athlete's participation in ath-letics or their reputation as an athlete;The relationship began only after the •athlete become a prospect;The relationship began only after the •athlete had achieved notoriety due to his or her athletic ability or reputation;The pattern of benefits increased after •the athlete attained notoriety as a tal-ented athlete.

ONCE A BOOSTER ALWAYS A BOOSTER. Once an individual is identified as a booster, the person retains that identity forever! This is true even if the individual no longer contrib-utes to, or is involved with, EMU's athletics program.

WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE? A prospective student-athlete (prospect) is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade, students enrolled in preparatory schools and two-year colleges are also consid-ered prospects. An individual remains a pros-pect even after he/she signs a National Letter of Intent.

WHAT IS AN EXTRA BENEFIT? An extra benefit is any special arrangement by a EMU employee or booster to provide a prospect, student-athlete or their relatives or friends a benefit not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of impermissible benefits include, but are not limited to, the following:

Gifts of cash, clothing, equipment or any •other tangible item;A special discount, payment arrangement •or credit on any purchase or service;Loan of money or co-signing of loans;•A vehicle, use of a vehicle, or any trans-•portation expenses;Free or reduced-cost services, purchases •or rentals;Entertainment on- or off-campus; or•Free or reduced-cost rent or housing.•

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES? EMU is responsible for the actions of its boosters. If a booster provides an impermis-sible benefit to a prospect, student-athlete, their relatives or friends, EMU may be subject to penalties from the NCAA and Mid-American Conference. When a violation occurs, regard-less of intention, it can:

Jeopardize the eligibility of prospective •and current student-athletes; Result in the EMU athletics program be-•ing penalized by the NCAA and/or the Mid-American Conference; and Cause you to lose benefits or privileges •associated with the athletics department (i.e., booster club membership, ticket privileges).

QUESTIONS? The above information is a brief overview of compliance and rules pertaining to boost-ers and their interactions with prospective student-athletes. If you have any questions about any NCAA, MAC or institutional rules, please contact the Dr. Melody Reifel Werner at 734.487.2327 or [email protected]. For more information on compliance and boosters, please visit the Of-fice of Athletic Compliance's website at: EMUEagles.com/compliance

The EMU Athletic Club provides vital financial support to more than 550 student-athletes at Eastern Michigan University as they strive for excellence on the court and in the classroom. Nearly 1,000 donors generously supported our outstanding scholar-athletes each year. Established in 1994, the EMU Athletic Club raises funds in three key areas for EMU’s 21 varsity athletic teams: annual-use operating funds, endowment, and facility related projects. Today, annual-use giving is the most critical area of support needed by the Athletic Department. These contributions directly support the operat-ing budgets of our teams and help provide the most basic needs to our coaches and student-athletes, including comprehensive national recruiting efforts, out of region travel to maintain nationally competitive schedules, equipment such as uniforms, balls, nets, bats, and much more. Gifts to any of our teams, or to the Eagles for Excellence Fund (which will be used for the most urgent needs of the athletic department), are an investment in the future leaders of the state of Michigan. Join the EMU Athletic Club today and make a difference for EMU Athletics.
