Coach Weaver is in his 32nd season as the Head Coach and Director of the women’s track and cross country program and in his 18th season as the Director for both the women’s and men’s programs. Weaver assumed the duties of directing both programs in the Fall of 1995.

A 1971 graduate of Appalachian in Biology, Weaver returned in 1979 as a graduate assistant in the men’s program while earning his Masters in Biology. During his three year tenure as the men’s assistant, he trained two NCAA qualifiers and seven Southern Conference champions.

Weaver took over the full-time coaching duties for the women’s program in 1982. He is the only full time Head Coach the women’s program has had since its beginnings. Since that time, the program including cross country, indoor track and outdoor track has produced a NCAA Division I National Champion in the 1500m twice, 9 NCAA Division I All-Americans with 23 All-American performances, 24 NCAA Division I Qualifiers, 373 Southern Conference individual champion performances, 928 All-Conference performances, 34 conference MVP athletes, 45 conference team championships, 27 conference coach-of-the-year honors, 28 conference freshmen-of-the-year honors and a Southeast Region Coach-of-the-Year honor twice. The women’s program has accomplished 7 triple crowns, winning the SoCon title in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track in the same academic year. The women won 20 straight SoCon Championships from 1987 to 1993. Mountaineer women currently hold 6

SoCon Indoor Individual Event Records and 10 SoCon Outdoor Individual Event Records

After Weaver took over the men’s program in 1995, the Mountaineers have produced 10 NCAA Division I All-Americans, 9 NCAA All-American performances, 34 Division I Qualifiers, 178 Southern Conference individual champion performances, 654 all-conference perfor-mances, 29 conference MVP athletes, 30 conference team championships, 15 coach-of-the-year honors, 59 conference freshmen of the year honors and one Southeast Region Coach of the Year honor. The men’s program has accomplished 4 triple crowns and Mountaineer men currently hold 5 SoCon Indoor Individual Event Records and 11 SoCon Outdoor Individual Event Records

Appalachian has qualified 65 men and 45 women athletes to the East Region with 8 NCAA Championships qualifying performances coming out of the region for Appalachian. In 2004, Appalachian had it’s first East Region champion with a first place in the 100m dash for men.

Under Coach Weaver’s direction, the Mountaineer men and women have won 75 SoCon team titles, produced one NCAA National Individual Champion (twice), 14 NCAA All-Ameri-cans with 31 All-American performances, 58 NCAA Championship Qualifiers, 62 SoCon MVPs, 551 SoCon Individual Event Champions, 1582 All-SoCon performances, 28 SoCon Freshman of the Year awards, 101 All-SoCon Freshman Team awards, 42 SoCon Coach of the Year hon-ors and 3 Southeast Region Coach of the Year honors.

Coach Weaver has also worked as the Yosef Club Director (athletic fundraising arm of the App Foundation, Inc.) from 1982 to 1985. He has also taught classes in the Education and Physical Education departments of the University. A native of Fayetteville, North Carolina, Weaver graduated from Seventy-First High School in 1967. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in 1971 from Appalachian, returning to Fayetteville to teach Biology and eventually take over the cross country and track programs at Douglas Byrd High School in 1972. His cross country dual meet record over eight years was 71-11 and his teams won 6 conference titles while competing in 4 state meet championships. His track teams produced many individual conference and regional champions along with several state meet qualifiers.

Currently, Coach Weaver coaches the long sprints (400m/800m), javelin, hurdlers and multi-event athletes while overseeing all aspects of the track and cross country program as its Director. Coach Weaver served on the NCAA Division I Track and Cross Country Committee from September of 2006 until September of 2010. He currently serves on the NCAA Track and Field Rules Committee and is a member of the USTFCCCA Championship Advisory Com-mitte and serves as the 2nd Vice President on the USTFCCCA Executive Committee.

During the summer of 2012, Coach Weaver was chosen as the sprints and hurdles coach for the USA National Under 23 team that competed in Mexico.

Each summer, Weaver directs the Grandfather Mountain Marathon, The Bear Race and two Cross Country Team Camps. Over 900 athletes attend camp at Appalachian each summer for cross country and track events. Coach Weaver is married to Cynthia Harmon of Lenoir, North Carolina and has two sons, Chase (26) and Jay (24) both graduates of Appalachian.

Mike Curcio is in his 19th year as the head men’s and women’s cross country coach and track distance coach at Appalachian. Curcio is very familiar with the Southern Conference as he has been directly involved with Appalachian Athletics for over 23 years. During his four years as a student/athlete at Appalachian, he was a member of 8 SoCon Championship first place teams and has been a part of 51 SoCon Championship first place teams since the beginning of his coaching tenure18 years ago. The 2012-13 seasons proved to be another banner year for the cross country, indoor track and outdoor track distance athletes. The first time since 2002, both the men’s and women’s cross country teams won SoCon titles. Ironically, this was accomplished in Charleston, SC, the site of the previous sweep in 2002. Three of the men’s team and three of the women’s team earned All-SoCon honors for their hard work. Coach Curcio was recognized by his peers with Coach of the Year honors for men and women. During the season, the men’s indoor 5000m record and the women’s 10,000m record were broken by seniors Chris Moen and Amanda Hamilton. The outdoor track campaign found 3 of Coach Curcio’s men and one of the women racing in the 1st Round of the NCAA Championships held in Greensboro, NC. For the year, the distance men helped Appalachian in winning another indoor SoCon title, finishing third outdoors while the distance women contributed to finishes of second place in both indoor and outdoor in the conference meet. The 2011-12 seasons saw some outstanding performances as the distance team coached by Curcio broke 5 school records which included the 5000m and distance medley relay indoors. The three other records were the 800m, the 1500m and the distance medley outdoors. The 28 year old distance medley record was broken at the prestigious Penn Re-lays winning the College Division Championship for the Mountaineer distance crew. Four men made it to the 1st Round of the NCAA for outdoor track. Coach Curcio’s cross country teams have enjoyed a string of successes in the men’s program with 11 SoCon championships out of 17 since 1997. This includes six straight championships since 2005. The women’s program has won two SoCon championships since 1997. Curcio has been tabbed the SoCon Cross Country Coach of the Year 10 times for the men and once for the women. Along with these honors in cross country, Coach Curcio in 2003 was named the USTCA Division I Men’s National Assistant Coach of the Year

for Distance. Since taking the reins of the distance program, he has coached nine NCAA qualifiers, 16 NCAA 1st Round qualifiers, 22 USATF Junior National qualifiers and 7 Southern Confer-ence freshmen of the year. In addition, Coach Curcio coached 90 All-SoCon cross country athletes and 4 SoCon individual champions. Along with those outstanding numbers, he has coached athletes to 63 SoCon indoor and outdoor individual titles while his athletes have garnered 214 All-SoCon honors in both indoor and outdoor track. To go with that list of accomplishment for his athletes, you can add 2 athletes earning SoCon indoor track MVP laurels and 2 athletes earning the same honor outdoors. As athletic excellence is important, Coach Curcio’s teams also strive for success in the classroom. Athlete’s in Coach Curcio’s program have been honored with academic awards. Two have received NCAA post-graduate scholarships, one received a SoCon post-graduate scholarship while three have received the Jim Brakefield award for the graduating senior with the highest GPA among athletes at Appalachian. In addition, 15 of his athletes have earned USTFCCCA Academic All-American honors. During this new era of APR reports (Academic Progress Reports) mandated by the NCAA, both the men’s and women’s cross country teams recorded APR scores well above the na-tional average. The men’s team has been recognized with a NCAA Public Recognition Award for compiling a four-year APR of 1,000 ( a perfect score) and ranking among the top 10% of all teams in the nation. Prior to taking his current position at Appalachian, Curcio was an assistant at Florida State from 1988-1992. In the Spring of 1993, he became an assistant at South Florida where he helped build the track program and a nationally ranked cross country program. The track women at USF won 3 conference titles in the first four years of the program. The men’s and women’s cross country teams were ranked 12th and 21st at one time in Division I during his time at USF. Curcio hails from New York where he attended Newfield High School before attending and competing for Appalachian State. He was a 3-time All-SoCon selection in track and still ranks seventh all-time in the 1500m with a time of 3:49.60. He still shares Appalachian recordholder status in the indoor 4x800m, 4x1500m and two mile relay.

In his ten years as a coach, Damion McLean brings a wealth of knowledge about Southern Conference track to his position. A 2002 graduate of Appalachian, McLean was a conference champion in the long jump in both indoor and outdoor track during his collegiate career and qualified for the NCAA Championships. He holds third place on the Ap-palachian’s all-time long jump list with a mark of 25’1” (personal-best of 26’). The 4x300m team on which McLean competed holds the indoor record in that event, while he also competed in the triple jump, high jump, 100m, and on the 4x1 relay team. In the past ten years, McLean has produced 32 SoCon Champions, 82 All-Conference performances, five SoCon MVP’s, 20 Regional standard perfor-mances, 13 NCAA qualifiers (five competitors), nine USATF Championship/Olympic Trial Qualifiers, App record holders in the indoor long jump; Vonteena Knotts, (20’10.50”) and triple jump Ronda White, (44’2”) and SoCon Indoor and Outdoor record holders, White (43’7”) and Danielle Thorpe, (43’2.25”). In just these years, McLean’s athletes own 29 of 80 men’s and women’s Top 10 Indoor and Outdoor marks in App State history. The strength program for the sprinters, jumpers and hurdlers has been

under the tutelage of McLean as well. Maintaining a coaching perspective at practice, he transfers what will be beneficial for the athletes to the weight room. Appalachian greats such as Ernest Wiggins (10.18, OT competitor), Ronda White (20’1”, 44’2”, OT competitor), Jennifer Claud, Charles Derrickson, Vonteena Knotts and Joel Gaddy have all seen the positive aspects come from the strength program. `During his fifth season, McLean served as an undergrad assistant (sprints, hurdles and jumps) for the Mountaineers before graduating in May of 2002 and working in advertising before returning to Boone to coach. McLean does an annual speaking engagement for the NCTCCCA, a member of the USATF & UST-FCCC Associations, USATF Level 2 certification in the jumps and attended the Emerging Elite Coaches Clinic at the Olympic Training Center in San Diego, CA. The Lincolnton, N.C. native holds a degree in Communication, Advertising with a minor in business. He also has a daughter (Bryanna, 14).

Appalachian State comes off two second-place finishes during the 2012-13 season at the Indoor and Outdoor Southern Conference Championships. This will be Appalachian’s last season competing in the Southern Conference as they make the move to the Sun Belt next year. Head coach John Weaver enters his 32nd season at the helm of the Appalachian State women’s track and cross country coach and his 18th season as the director of both men and women’s programs.

SPRINTS The Mountaineers return the senior Bre-anna Alston.Alston is the reigning 200m SoCon champion after running a 24.38 at the indoor champi-onships last season and has maintained the second best time in Appalachian history. The senior also notched the 400m dash title during the indoor championships, finishing with a time of 56.70. Appalachian will return three-of-four run-ners from the 2013 4x400m relay team, which included Breanna Alston, Shelby Howell and Taryn Stern.

MIDDLE DISTANCE Sophomore Shelby Howell and junior Taryn Stern pace the Apps in middle dis-tance as Howell posted a time of 2:12.09 in the 800m run during the indoor champion-ships for the second-best time in Appalachian history and qualifying for Junior Nationals. Howell was able to beat that time during the outdoor season, finishing in 2:10.50. Taryn Stern looks to close out her junior campaign adding depth to both the sprinters and middle distance runners. The Harrisburg, N.C. native notched personal bests in the 800m run all season and the team will expect big things from her during her upcoming year.

DISTANCE Appalachian’s Justine Stocks anchors the distance runners as she ran a personal best in the 1 mile run with a time of 5:04.08 during indoor season. The time ranks ninth all-time in App history. The senior also ranks ninth all-time for the Apps in the 1,500m run, posting a personal-best 4:35.64 at the Auburn Tiger Clas-sic Senior Kayla Schneider will also lead the Apps in the distance runs as she ran a personal-best 18:18.51 in the 5,000m at the SoCon Championships during indoor season last year. Schneider has proven to be a valuable runner after earning a fifth-place finish at the SoCon Outdoor Championships and ranking fifth all-time for App State in the 3,000m steeplechase, running a personal-best 11:01.57 Sophomore Dana Cox returns after a suc-cessful freshman season, earning All-SoCon Freshmen honors. The Apex, N.C. native finished seventh in the 10,000m at the SoCon Outdoor Championships with a personal-best 37:23.53 time

THROWS In throwing events, the Black and Gold return Gayshawna Watkins who redshirted last sea-son. Watkins ranks second all-time in the shot put and sixth in the weight throw. The Forest City, N.C. native is the reigning Southern Confer-ence indoor champion in the weight throw and ranks fourth all-time in the hammer throw and ninth in the javelin for outdoor competition. Top performers Jasmine Suydam and Ana DeLeon returns after outstanding performances as underclassmen. Suydam earned three all-SoCon honors and wrote herself into the record book one time. The Charlotte, N.C. native ranks ninth all-time in the shot put, while DeLeon ranks ninth all-time in the 20lb weight throw. Brianna Tate comes off a great freshman season after finishing third in the shot put at the SoCon Outdoor Championships with a throw of 13.60m. Tate posted four top-five finishes during the outdoor season and qualified for Junior Nationals.

JUMPS Appalachian will have good depth in the jumping category for the 2013-14 campaign as it returns five all-conference performers from last season. Pole-vaulters Cassie Crawford and Chel-sea Farr look to lead the Apps as they both earned all-SoCon honors in both the indoor and outdoor seasons. Farr claimed the second spot in the App State record book at the Penn State relays as a freshman, while Crawford cleared a height of 12-7.50 last indoor season. The height set a new Holmes Center and Appala-chian Holmes Center Record. Crawford finished second in the pole vault at the 2013 SoCon Outdoor Championships. Audrey Diener returns in the pole vault event for Appalachian after making the All-Freshman team during the indoor season. Tatyana Bryant will compete for the Apps this season after placing sixth in the triple jump at the 2013 SoCon Indoor Championships. Bryant followed that up with two second-place finishes at the outdoor championships, notching a distance of 18-8.0 in the long jump and 34-9.0 in the triple jump. App State also returns Mary Theresa Mont-gomery who garnered all-SoCon honors after a third-place finish in the high jump during the indoor championships and fourth-place finish during outdoor championships.

Appalachian State University men’s indoor track and field is set to kickoff its 2013-14 season after coming off a successful 2012-13 campaign. The Mountaineers look to regain the title of Southern Conference champions after a win-ning the championship during the 2013 indoor season. Head coach John Weaver enters his 32nd season at the helm of Appalachian State Univer-sity women’s cross country and track coach and his 18th season as the director of both the men and women’s cross country and track teams.

SPRINTS The Mountaineers return sprinter Marshall McRae to the roster this season. McRae had a promising sophomore season after finishing eighth in the 200m dash during the indoor and outdoor championships. McRae has proven to be a valuable asset to the team, starting the 2013-14 indoor season with two record-breaking performances. McRae places tenth on the all-time records list in the 60m dash and seventh in the 200m dash. As the only returning sprinter, McRae will be joined by three freshmen sprinters including Clay Allen from Wilmington, Pa., Jesse Earnhardt of Denver, N.C. and William Buckley from Durham, N.C.

HURDLES Junior Stanley Broaden will return for the Mountaineers after a great start to his Appala-chian career. The Wilmington, N.C. native placed first in the 60m hurdles during the indoor championships for his first title. He followed that performance up with two SoCon titles during the outdoor season as he finished first in the 110m hurdles and the 400m hurdles. Broaden ranks fourth all-time in the 400m hurdles. The Mountaineers will also return Kenley Joseph as the other competitor in the hurdles for the team this season.

MIDDLE DISTANCE The Black and Gold will find new leadership in the middle distance after the graduation of the duo Alex Taylor and Chris Moen. Raphael Rojas will be the returning star as he had a breakout sophomore season. Rojas began the indoor season with a first-place finish at the Appalachian Invitational in the 400m. Rojas earned all-SoCon honors when he placed third at the SoCon Indoor Championships in the 800m with a time of 1:54.35, helping the team to the championship. He currently ranks fourth all-time in the 800m run. Rojas has also been an integral part of the 4x400 relay team, finishing second at both the indoor and outdoor championships. Rojas will be joined by freshman Josh Hanna, hailing from Webster, N.Y.

DISTANCE Junior Kyle McFoy will be a force this season after an outstanding cross country season for the Mountaineers. Last season, McFoy placed seventh at the SoCon Outdoor Championships in the 10,000m run. Senior Josh Cox will also add depth to the distance team, as he was a top performer for the 3,000m steeplechase finishing second at the SoCon Championships and earning all-SoCon honors. The Mooresville, N.C. native currently ranks sixth all-time in the 3,000m steeplechase.

THROWS The Mountaineers will look to continue their winning ways in throwing as they return five throwers and add two freshmen. John Leonard earned all-SoCon freshman honors last season after throwing personal bests in the shot put and weight throw at the SoCon Indoor Champion-ships. Richard Bell will return for the Mountaineers as well, throwing a personal record of 14.12m at the SoCon Indoor Championships, as wells as fin-ishing fifth in the hammer throw at the outdoor championships. Freshmen Nathan Milch of Longwood, Fla. and Ellsworth Parham of Asheville, N.C. will join Appalachian this season.

JUMPS Seniors Jamal Tiller and Adedeji Adeneye will look to the lead the Mountaineers this season after success last year. Tiller took the title in the triple jump during the indoor champion-ships last season, helping his team to a first-place finish. Tiller followed up that performance with another first-place finish in the triple jump at the SoCon Outdoor Championships. Tiller’s indoor personal record of 51-1.75 is seventh on the all-time records. Adeneye earned all-socon honors last sea-son when he finished third at the indoor and outdoor championships in the triple jump event. Alex Lomax returns for the Mountaineers and hopes to be a strong competitor in the pole vault this season after finishing first at the Appalachian Open last year. Lomax will be joined by freshmen Matt Layne of Wilkes-boro, N.C. and Phillip Thomas of Cary, N.C. Darrow Goff will be the only returning high jumper for the Mountaineers and will be joined by freshman Samuel Allen of States-ville, N.C.

HOLMES CONVOCATION CENTER KIDD BREWER STADIUM

VARSITY GYM

Appalachian indoor track & field enters its sev-enth season in the George M. Holmes Convoca-tion Center. The Holmes Center serves as home of Mountaineer indoor track and field, as well as Appalachian’s men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball programs. The facility houses a 300m directional mondo surface. Standing on Rivers Street at Appalachian State University, the 200,840-square foot Holmes Cen-ter serves as the cornerstone to the entry to cam-pus and houses App’s Department of Health, Lei-sure and Exercise Science. The structure also includes the 8,325-seat Seby Jones Arena, which hosts a number of community and cultural events in addition to Appalachian athletics, including graduation and convocation ceremonies, trade shows and concerts. The facility opened on November 17, 2000 with a celebration followed by a men’s basketball con-test between Appalachian and the University of North Carolina. With much anticipation, every seat for the App-UNC showdown was sold in advance, marking the first pre-gameday sellout in school

history for any sporting event. The athletics ticket office sold the full allotment of tickets for the inaugural contest at the Holmes Center in just 12 minutes. Public service, a cornerstone upon which Appalachian was founded, is the hallmark of the two individuals whom names adorn the university’s convocation center, as former App Chancellor, Francis T. Borkowski announced that the center would be called the George M. Holmes Convocation Center and its arena the Seby Jones Arena on March 20, 1999. Holmes is a Republican member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, rep-resenting the 41st District (Yadkin, Wilkes and Alexander Counties). He is the senior co-chair of the North Carolina House of Appropriations Committee. A native of Mount Airy, N.C., Holmes attended Appalachian on a football scholarshipin the 1950’s. Holmes first entered political office from 1975-76 and has served 11 terms since 1979. He serves on the Governor’s Advisory Budget Commission, the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations and the Joint Legislative Transportation Oversight Committee. Holmes was instrumental in securing the bulk of the $36.8 million needed to build the con-vocation center. Jones served as mayor and a council member of Raleigh from 1967-71. He also served on App’s Board of Trustees for eight years, chairing the Board in 1990-91.

The outdoor home of the Appalachian track and field team, Kidd Brewer Stadium stands 3,333 feet above sea level and seats 16,650. Also home to the football and field hockey teams, it was the first facil-ity in either North or South Carolina to install artificial turf, with Ap-palachian and Elon staging the first football game on fake grass in the Carolinas, Oct. 3, 1970. Opened Sept. 15, 1962, the stadium was originally construct-ed with 10,000 permanent seats. Seating capacity was expanded to 18,000 following the 1978 season. Completion of an extensive reno-vation and restoration project on the original 10,000 seats in 1995 readjusted the seating capacity to 16,650. A multi-purpose facility, Kidd Brewer Stadium is also home to intramural sports, while classes and the community use the facility, as well. Owens Field House, at the north end of the stadium, houses athletic and fundraising offices, locker rooms and equipment areas, along with the Dr. Hugh S. Daniel Conference Room. In 1989, a new building was added adjacent to the field house, with athletic and coaching offices, the Dr. Evan Ashby Sports Medicine Room, strength and conditioning areas, and locker rooms. The stadium is also in the midst of renovations to add a new athletic complex, slated to be completed by the fall of 2009. An addi-tion of 4,000 seats on the east side was completed in the summer of 2008. The stadium is named after Kidd Brewer, one of the Mountain-eers’ most successful head football coaches, and a colorful part of North Carolina history. Brewer, a Winston-Salem, N.C., native, served as football coach of the Mountaineers for four seasons (1935-38), compiling a 30-5-3 overall mark. An all-American backfield star at Duke University, Brew-er’s 1937 Appalachian squad was unbeaten and unscored upon in the regular season. After leaving Appalachian, Brewer started a sales career, but shortly thereafter reported for active duty in World War II. He served as a Naval lieutenant in the Pacific. After the war Brewer was secre-tary to U.S. Sen. Josiah W. Bailey (D-N.C.). Upon Bailey’s death in office Brewer served his replacement, Sen. William B. Umstead, as adminis-trative assistant. Brewer returned to North Carolina and ran for lieutenant gov-ernor in 1956. Between campaigns for governor (1964) and state court of appeals (1968), he made a name for himself as a developer, insurance salesman and philanthropist. Kidd Brewer Stadium, dedicated Sept. 3, 1988, was named Con-rad Stadium from 1962 to 1988 for William J. Conrad, a former Appala-chian State University trustee and R.J. Reynolds executive.

During both the indoor and outdoor seasons, the track and field teams are able to escape the elements with an expansive practice facility in Varsity Gym. A new Mondo track surface was added in 2007 with a length of over 100 meters. Along with the track surface, the facility houses a shot put and weight throwing area, pole vault and high jump facilities, a full weight-lifting area and athletic training facilities. Varsity Gym’s floor also received a facelift in 2008, as a new hardwood surface was installed. The arena is the practice home for wrestling, men’s and women’s basket-ball, volleyball and field hockey.

In his ninth year at Appalachian State University, director of athletics Charlie Cobb has spearheaded perhaps the most successful and ambitious period in the University’s decorated athletics history.

Of Cobb’s many achievements in his nine years at Appalachian State, the most notable came in March when Appalachian accepted an invitation to join the NCAA Division I FBS Sun Belt Conference. For many of the University’s most ardent supporters, the announcement that Appalachian would join the Sun Belt on July 1, 2014 capped a years- and even decades-long quest for all 450-plus Mountaineer student-athletes to compete at the highest level of intercollegiate athletics.

However, the Sun Belt invitation is just the tip of the iceberg with regards to Cobb’s many accomplish-ments at Appalachian State. The achievements enjoyed by Appalachian athletics during Cobb’s tenure also include:

• Three NCAA Division I football national championships — marking the first time that any program has ever won three-consecutive NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS — formerly Division I-AA) titles and the first NCAA football championships ever won by a team from the state of North Carolina at any level. • Shattering football attendance records at Kidd Brewer Stadium with crowds surpassing “The Rock’s” permanent seating capacity for each of Appalachian’s 46 regular-season home games since Cobb’s arrival in 2005. • A 298-percent increase in football season-ticket sales. • Eight-consecutive Commissioner’s Cup championships — recognizing the top overall men’s sports program in the Southern Conference. • Four Germann Cup championships — recognizing the top overall women’s sports program in the SoCon. • Sweeping the Commissioner’s and Germann Cups in the same academic year four times — a feat never achieved by any other SoCon school. • Thirty-five percent of the athletics department’s students making the Academic Honor Roll (mini-mum GPA of 3.25).• Student-athletes achieving a combined 3.0 grade point average for both semesters of the 2012-13 academic year.• Seven of 20 varsity programs (football, men’s basketball, men’s cross country, women’s cross country, field hockey, women’s indoor and outdoor track and field) earning public recognition awards, based on ranking among the top 10 percent nationally in their respective sports in Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. • The Yosef Club, which provides scholarship and facility support for student-athletes, setting fundrais-ing records each of the past eight years. Annual Yosef Club donations, which never topped $700,000 prior to Cobb’s arrival, surpassed the $3 million mark for the first time in 2012-13.

The most visible of Cobb’s many achievements at Appalachian State has been the addition of first-class facilities that give the Mountaineers the opportunity to be successful across the athletics spectrum for years to come.

A wave of facility enhancements totaling $50 million were completed in 2009, headlined by the 120,000-square-foot Appalachian Athletics Center. The seven-story complex, located behind Kidd Brewer Stadium’s west stands, includes new football offices and locker room, a strength and condi-tioning center, training facilities, academic study space and computer lab for all student-athletes, as well as revenue-generating premium seating in the form of 600 club-level seats and 18 luxury suites.

The facility enhancements also included other significant renovations to The Rock. A new ticket plaza, which serves as a grand entrance to the stadium, as well as ornamental fencing that replaced the chain-link barriers that used to surround the stadium and field were completed before the 2007 season, while a 4,400-seat upper deck on the stadium’s east side and substantial upgrades to the east and south concourses were completed prior to the ‘08 campaign.

In addition to the renovations at Kidd Brewer Stadium, the campaign also produced new homes for Mountaineer baseball (Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium), softball (Sywassink/Lloyd Family Stadium) and soccer (at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex), as well as the Apps’ first-ever indoor practice facility (Sofield Family Indoor Practice Facility) and renovations to Varsity Gym that have upgraded the facility to a premier practice and competition venue for Appalachian basketball, indoor track and field, vol-leyball and wrestling.

With the $50 million in facilities enhancements, all 20 of Appalachian’s intercollegiate sports teams now practice and compete in facilities that have either been built or renovated since the turn of the millenium. While Cobb is quick to point out the “total team effort” put forth to achieve the many suc-cesses that have been enjoyed since he began his tenure as Appalachian State’s director of athletics on July 1, 2005, it is the experience, vision and work ethic of the 45-year-old Cobb that has steered the Mountaineers to new heights. Cobb’s peers recognized him for his efforts when the National Collegiate Athletics Directors Associa-

tion (NACDA) named him the NCAA Division I FCS Southeast Region Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year in 2011. He also serves on numerous NCAA and Southern Conference committees, most notably the NCAA Division I Football committee that he currently chairs.

Prior to his arrival in Boone, Cobb was a member of the athletics department at North Carolina State University from 1998-2005. A four-year football letterwinner at NC State from 1987-90, Cobb served as the Wolfpack’s senior associate athletics director for external operations for the seven years prior to his arrival in Boone. In that role, he oversaw NC State’s marketing, ticket operations, media relations and student-athlete development operations, as well as serving on the department’s compact strategic planning initiative, gender equity and facilities committees.

During his tenure, NC State increased football season-ticket sales by 87 percent and men’s basketball season-ticket sales by 121 percent. The combined ticket revenues accounted for an annual increase of over 86 percent for Wolfpack athletics, generating more than $6 million for the department.

In addition, Cobb served as NC State’s administrator for baseball and women’s soccer, tournament manager for the 2004 NCAA men’s basketball first and second rounds at the RBC Center and the chair for the southeast region of the NCAA women’s soccer committee.

Prior to returning to his alma mater in ‘98, Cobb spent six years in Atlanta, Ga., where he held positions with the Atlanta Sports Council, the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl and the Georgia Dome. As an assistant executive director for the Atlanta Sports Council and the Peach Bowl, he helped coordinate Atlanta’s bid for the 2002 NCAA men’s basketball Final Four and handled all game and event operations for the Peach Bowl.

As sales manager for the Georgia Dome from 1994-97, Cobb helped procure events such as the Southeastern Conference football championship, the SEC and Atlantic Coast Conference men’s basketball tournaments, NCAA men’s basketball champion-ship events, Georgia High School Association football playoffs, major concerts and other college and amateur sporting events.

Cobb graduated with honors with a B.A. in business administration from NC State in 1990. A second-team all-ACC honoree at center as a senior, Cobb was an academic all-ACC selection and collected the prestigious Jim Tatum Award, presented to the ACC football senior with the highest grade point average, and the Bob Warren Memorial Award, given to the Wolfpack football player that displays the highest integrity and sportsmanship. After receiving post-graduate scholarships from both the ACC and NFL Charities, Cobb earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1992.

Cobb is married to the former Lindsay Brecher, who was an all-ACC goalkeeper for NCSU women’s soccer from 1988-90 and serves as an assistant coach for Appalachian’s women’s soccer program. The Cobbs have a 15-year-old son, Harrison, and a 12-year-old daughter, Branan.

Boone lies in a small valley in the heart of the Southern Appalachians. It is named after the hunter and explorer Daniel Boone, who spent time in the region during the 1760s. Watauga County was formed in 1849 and the Town of Boone incorporated in 1872. Among its accolades are inclusion in National Geographic Adventure magazine’s “Best Places to Live and Play,” Norman Crampton’s “100 Best Small Towns in America,” USA Today’s “10 Great Small Towns with Huge Backyards” and U.S. News and World Report’s “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S.” Boone is a college town, home to Appalachian State University. Originally Watauga Academy, the institution was formed to educate the mountain children and to ultimately prepare teachers for service through western North Carolina. It became Appalachian State Teachers College in 1929 and joined the University of North Carolina system in 1971. The university serves as a top economic driver followed by a combination of tourism, small business and residential home construction. The Boone area is characterized by mountain culture and casual living. Outdoor activities, cultural events, local dining and unique shops attract visitors from all over the world year-round. From breathtaking scenic views to Boone’s eclectic downtown area, known as King Street, there is something for everyone. One of the highlights of downtown Boone is the university’s Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. It features six gallery spaces and a community education and outreach program. Its exhibitions focus on a blend of recent and historically important artwork and feature nationally and internationally renowned artists as well as many of the finest artists of the region. A wide array of quality arts and cultural events enhance the Boone community. The university’s month-long celebration of performing and visual arts, known as An Appalachian Summer Festival, has brought notable performers such as Paul Taylor Dance Company, London City Opera, Charlie Daniels and the Glenn Miller Orchestra. During the academic year, Appalachian hosts the Performing Arts Series with artists such as Garrison Keillor and the National Symphony Orchestra. Boone offers an uncommon quality of life – that’s why many visitors come for a weekend and stay for a lifetime.
