Building on a strong foundation of more than a century of educating citizens for lives of leadership and service, Defiance College provides opportunities for its students to make a meaningful impact on society in the twenty-first century with an educational experience of engagement.

The Princeton Review features Defiance College in Colleges with a Conscience: 81 Great Schools with Outstanding Com-munity Involvement. Defiance College has been named for five-consecutive years to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for its commitment to community service, and for the past two years DC has been named a Military Friendly School for providing significant benefits and services to veterans. Defiance College is also one of 119 U.S. colleges and universities selected by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching to receive its Com-munity Engagement Classification.

The McMaster School for Advancing Humanity was created to provide opportunities for DC undergraduate students and faculty to more closely examine global issues and how they affect the human condition.

The School serves as the umbrella for the Ser-vice Leadership Program developing leadership communication, conflict resolution and cultural awareness; the Carolyn M.

JOHN HARTPENCE - HEAD COACHFIFTH SEASONJohn Hartpence enters his fifth season at the helm of the Defiance College track and field program, where he works primarily with athletes in the distance, hurdles, and field events.

Last season, Hartpence guided the men’s and women’s track and field teams to fourth and second-place finishes in the Outdoor Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Championships respectively. At the Indoor HCAC Championships, Hartpence led the men’s and women’s teams to a second and fourth-place finish. The Yellow Jackets racked up the individual awards during the 2010-11 season as well. Combining the indoor and outdoor seasons, the Yellow Jackets had 17 All-Ohio performers, five HCAC Athletes-of-the-Week, eight all-academic selec-tions, four All-HCAC and one outstanding field athlete award.

Hartpence came to Defiance after serving as the head track and field coach at Dickinson College for seven years, where he guided the women’s team to six Centennial Collegiate Conference championships, and saw the men’s team earn five runner-up finishes.

In addition to the teams’ success, Hartpence guided his Red Devils to 65 individual conference championships dur-ing his tenure at Dickinson, and was voted as the USTFCCAA Mid-East Women’s Indoor Coach of the Year in both 2002 and 2003

Hartpence earned his undergraduate degree in physical education from Cortland College, before completing a mas-ter’s of science degree in health and human performance from the University of Montana in 1996. He is certified as a Level II Track and Field Coach for throwing and jumping events.

Coaching Staff

Defiance College Intercollegiate Athletic PhilosophyThe Defiance College intercollegiate athletics program serves as a window of opportunity for all prospective student-athletes to experience an extra-curricular educational and physical activity that fits within the general mission of the college to develop the whole person.

The student-athlete will be exposed to a variety of opportunities for personal growth in the areas of intellectual, emotional, spiritual, social and physical dimensions as it relates to each individual and their respective sport. The student-athlete, as a team member, will be involved in a learning community that will strive for excellence both on the field and in the classroom while maintaining a dignity of fair play and continued emphasis on positive sportsman-ship.

Jointly, the coaches and student-athletes will build an engaged environment that will accentuate the learning process not only within the competitive arena but also within the college campus and the community as a whole. An emphasis will be placed on the impact of participation and personal growth, rather than scoreboard success, in a balanced sports program where equitable sports opportunities will be available to both genders.

The student-athletes of Defiance College choose to participate in the intercollegiate athletics program for a variety of reasons but none of which includes athletic related financial aid or the promise of financial security through profes-sional athletic stardom. Through participation in the intercollegiate athletics program, a student-athlete continues to compete for the love of sport, the thrill of competition and the fulfillment of countless intrinsic values.

The Defiance College intercollegiate athletics program strives to be an integral and cohesive part of the collegiate learning and living process, appropriately well suited to co-exist with the Defiance College mission statement…to know, to lead, to serve and to understand.
