Weaver is in his 34th season as the head coach and director of the women’s track and field and cross country programs and is in his 20th season as the director for both the men and women’s programs. Weaver assumed the duties of directing both programs in the fall of 1995. A 1971 graduate of Appalachian State 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 quali-fiers 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 performanc-es, 26 NCAA Division I qualifiers, 373 Southern Conference individual champion performances, 3 Sun Belt Conference individual champion per-formances, 928 Southern Conference all-conference performances, 10 Sun Belt all-conference performances, 34 Southern Conference MVP athletes, 45 Southern Conference team championships, 27 Southern Conference Coach of the Year honors, 28 Southern Conference Freshman of the Year honors, 50 SoCon All-Freshman team honors, and 2 Southeast Region Coach of the Year honors. In the Southern Conference, the women’s program has accomplished 7 triple crowns as well as a 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 5 SoCon indoor indi-vidual 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 perfor-mances, 37 Division I qualifiers, 178 Southern Conference individual champion performances, 3 Sun Belt Conference individual champion performances, 654 Southern Conference all-conference performances, 9 Sun Belt Conference all-conference performances, 29 Southern Conference MVP athletes, 30 Southern Conference team championships, 15 Southern Conference Coach of the Year honors, 59 Southern Conference All-Freshman team honors and one Southeast Region Coach of the Year honor. In the SoCon, the men’s program has accom-plished 4 triple crowns and Mountaineer men currently hold 5 SoCon indoor individual event records and 11 SoCon outdoor individual event records. Appalachian State has qualified 67 men and 49 women for the East Region with 8 NCAA Championship qualifying performances coming out of the region. In 2004, Appalachian had its first East Region champion with a first place in the 100m dash for the men. Under Weaver’s direction, the Mountaineer men and women have won 75 SoCon team titles, produced one NCAA National Individual Champion (two-time winner), 14 NCAA All-Americans with 31 All-American performances, 63 NCAA Championship qualifiers, 62 SoCon MVP’s, 555 SoCon Individual Event Champi-ons, 1590 All-SoCon performances, 28 SoCon Freshman of the Year awards, 109 All-SoCon Freshman Team awards, 42 SoCon Coach of the Year honors and 3 Southeast Region Coach of the Year honors. After one year in the Sun Belt Conference, his men and women’s teams have garnered 5 individual event titles and 19 all-conference honors. The men’s pro-gram had the outdoor MVP in its first year. The Weaver directed programs for men and women have not only accom-plished athletic honors, but academically, they have distinguished themselves with 21 NCAA All-Academic team distinctions, 15 NCAA All-Academic women and 3 NCAA All-Academic men. There have been, on average, 35 of the pro-gram’s athletes on the semester honor rolls each semester since 1995. Weaver worked as the Yosef Club Director (athletic fundraising arm of the ASU 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 before returning to Fayetteville to teach biology and eventually take over the cross country and track programs at Douglas Byrd High School in 1972. Currently, Weaver coaches the long sprints (400m/800m), javelin, hurdlers, and multi-event athletes while overseeing all aspects of the track and cross country programs as its director. 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 Committee and serves as the 2nd Vice President on the USTFCCCA Division I Executive Committee. During the summer of 2012, Weaver was chosen as the sprints and hurdles coach for the men’s 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. Weaver is married to Cynthia Harmon of Lenoir, North Carolina and has two sons, Chase (28) and Jay (26), both graduates of Appalachian.

s Mike Curcio is in his 21st year as the head men’s and women’s cross country coach and track and field distance coach at Appalachian State University. For cross country in 2014, Appalachian State’s first year as a member of the Sun Belt Conference, Curcio led both the men’s and women’s teams to a second-place finish at the Sun Belt meet in Mobile, Alabama. In that event, the men finished just two points behind South Alabama and the women were nine points away from first-place Texas-Arlington. The men secured four all-conference selections while the women earned three of their own. When it came to track and field, the distance category produced a total of four Sun Belt titles and 14 all-conference performances. Tristin Van Ord carried over her success from the cross country season to win an indoor title in the 5,000, outdoor titles in both the 5,000 and 10,000 and was also named all-conference for the indoor 3,000. Hana Ratcliffe, Brooke Brekke, Torre Moser, and Shelby Howell made up the third-place distance medley relay team at the indoor championships while Dana Cox took third place at the outdoor 10,000 to earn an all-conference nod. For the men, Kyle McFoy was an indoor champ (5,000) and Evan Laratta, Josh Hanna, Ryan Hastings, and Michael Ellis were all part of the outdoor all-conference distance medley relay team that placed second. For the men’s team in 2013, Curcio led them to a second-place finish at the SoCon championship meet. Kyle McFoy placed sixth and also was named to the SoCon first-team. Josh Cox, James Howard-Smith and Will Raby all took second-team honors. The women’s team finished fourth in the Southern Conference that season. Justine Stocks earned all-SoCon for the women’s team. During the track and field season, the men earned four all-SoCon honors with four per-formances moving into the top ten all-time lists. The women also earned four all-SoCon honors and had eight performances that moved into the top ten all-time lists. Stocks broke the program record in the 3,000m steeplechase with a mark of 10:37. The 2013-14 track campaign also saw four athletes reach the first round of the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field championships. Chris Moen and Josh Cox qualified in the 3,000m steeplechase. Alex Taylor made his third trip in the 1,500m run and Amanda Hamilton made her first trip in the 10,000m on the strength of her program-record performance of 34:52. The 2012 campaign was a banner year for the Mountaineers’ middle-distance/distance runners on the track as Curcio helped coach three athletes who broke five school records. Will Raby set the school record for the 5,000-meter event in indoor track, while Alex Taylor and Chris Moen teamed up with two sprinters to set the school record in the distance medley relay for indoor track at the SoCon Championships. Taylor set the App State record in the 800 and 1500-meter events while teaming up with Moen and two of Appalachian’s sprinters to break a 28-year old Appalachian record in the distance medley relay at the 2012 Penn Relays.

Curcio coached four men to the first round of the NCAA Championships in 2012 in outdoor track, as Taylor qualified for both the 800 and 1,500-meter events and Moen, Sean Soderman and Josh Cox all qualified for the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Curcio’s cross country teams have been very successful under his tenure, as they have captured two women’s Southern Conference titles and 11 men’s SoCon championships, including six-straight men’s titles from 2005-10. During his time at App State, Curcio has coached nine NCAA Qualifiers, 17 NCAA Re-gional Qualifiers, 21 USATF Junior National Qualifiers and seven Southern Conference Cross Country Freshmen of the Year. In addition to those feats, Curcio has also coached 93 all-Southern Conference Cross Country performers and four Southern Conference Cross Country individual champions. While coaching the distance runners for Appalachian track and field, Curcio has coached 59 athletes to SoCon indoor and outdoor individual champion performances and 208 runners to all-conference indoor and outdoor performances. He has also coached two athletes to SoCon indoor track and field MVP awards and two outdoor track and field MVP awards. As athletic excellence is important, Curcio and his teams also strive for success in aca-demics. Since being at Appalachian, Curcio has coached two NCAA post graduate scholar-ship award winners, one Southern Conference post graduate scholarship award winner, three Mrs. Brakefield award recipients, for an Appalachian senior student-athlete with the highest GPA, and 13 USTFCCCA academic all-Americans. During the 2011-12 season, both the App State men’s and women’s recorded multi-year APR scores well above the national average while the men were recognized with an NCAA Public Recognition Award for compiling a four-year APR of 1,000 and ranking among the top 10 percent of all teams in the nation. For all of his efforts, in 2003 Curcio was named the USTCA Division I Men’s National Assistant Coach of the Year for Distance. He also has been recognized by the Southern Conference for his team’s impressive performances, being named the SoCon’s men’s cross country coach of the year nine times. Before coming to Appalachian, Curcio served as an assistant at Florida State from 1988-1992. In the spring of 1993, he became an assistant at South Florida, where he helped build a fledgling track and field program, along with a nationally-ranked cross country program. The track women at USF won three conference titles in the first four years of the pro-gram’s existence. The men’s and women’s cross country teams were ranked as high as 12th and 21st in Division I during his tenure. Curcio hails from Long Island, N.Y. where he attended Newfield High School before attending and competing for Appalachian State University. He was a three-time all-SoCon selection in track and still ranks seventh all-time in the 1,500 meter run with a time of 3:49.60.

Damion McLeanassociate heaD track coach


12th Year

With twelve years of coaching experience, McLean brings a wealth of knowledge about coaching, strengthening and training effective and successful athletes in track & field within the Sun Belt Conference. A 2002 graduate of Appalachian State, McLean was a two-time conference champion in the long jump in both indoor and outdoor track and qualified for the NCAA Championships in 2001. He holds the third-highest mark on App State’s all-time long jump list with a mark of 25’ 1” (PR - 26’). Additionally, McLean was part of the indoor record for the 4x300 relay. His collegiate resume was balanced with performances in the triple jump, high jump, 100m dash, and the 4x100 relay. During his fifth season (2002), McLean served as an undergraduate track assistant for sprints, hurdles and jumps. He graduated in May of 2002 and worked in advertising before returning to Boone to become a full-time coach. In Appalachian’s first year in the Sun Belt, McLean guided freshman Kimani Hoffman to a second-place finish and Sun Belt Indoor All-Conference honors in the triple jump with a mark of 50’ 4.50”. Hoffman then qualified for the USATF Jr. Championships in the long and triple Jump (24’ 1”, 50’ 4.50”) held in Eugene, Ore. The outdoor season was highlighted by William Buckley placing 12th at the NCAA Prelims with a time of 10.44 in the quarterfinals. Buckley went on to the NCAA Champi-onships in Eugene, Ore. and placed 21st in the semifinals with a time of 10.45 earning him honorable mention All-American honors. McLean helped the sophomore to personal bests of 10.30 and 21.01, which put him second and third place all-time in the App State record books. The sprinters under McLean have shown vast improvement under his guidance. Key accomplishments include:• Breanna Alston broke the school’s 300m indoor, 400m outdoor, women’s 4x400, and

sprint medley records in 2014• The men’s 4x100 relay team that placed 14th at the 2012 NCAA Championships with a school record time of 39.70 In the past eleven years, McLean has produced 36 SoCon Champions, 87 All-Confer-ence performances, 6 SoCon MVP’s, 25 regional standard performances, 13 NCAA qualifiers from five competitors, 10 USATF Championship/Olympic Trial (OT) qualifiers, Appalachian record holders in the indoor long jump: Vonteena Knotts (20’ 10.50”); triple jump: Ronda White (44’ 2”); 300m: Breanna Alston (38.50), along with SoCon indoor and outdoor record holders in the triple jump: Ronda White (43’ 7”) and Danielle Thorpe (43’ 2.25”). In a short period of time, McLean’s athletes own 34 of the 80 men’s and women’s top 10 indoor and outdoor track and field marks in Appalachian State history. The strength program for the sprinters, jumpers and hurdlers has been under the tutelage of McLean since 2002. Maintaining a coaching perspective during practice, he transfers what will be beneficial for the athletes to the weight room. App State greats include, but are not limited to, Ernest Wiggins (10.18, OT competitor), Ronda White (20’ 1”, 44’ 2”, OT competitor), Jennifer Claud, Charles Derrickson, Vonteena Knotts, and Joel Gaddy who have all seen the positive aspects that come from the strength program. McLean presents various coaching techniques and methods at an annual speaking engagement for the NCTCCCA, is a member of the USATF and USTFCCCA, has his USATF Level 2 certification in the jumps, sprints & relays, USTFCCCA Strength & Conditioning cer-tification and attended the Emerging Elite Coaches Clinic at the Olympic Training Center in San Diego, Calif. The Lincolnton, N.C. native holds a B.S. degree in communication with a concentration in advertising and a minor in business.

Track and Fieldappalachian STaTefifth in school history), 3,000 (9:45.08/third in school history) and 5,000 (16:39.75), but also the top outdoor times in the 1,500 (4:27.63/third in program history), 5,000 (16:45.85/fourth in program history) and 10,000 (34:23.08). The Cha-pel Hill native was a Sun Belt Champion for the

indoor 5,000, the outdoor 5,000 and 10,000, and was all-conference in the indoor 3,000, while be-ing named Sun Belt Conference Women’s Track Athlete of the Week on both Jan. 28 and Feb. 11.

She will get help in the distance races from Howell, Hana Ratcliffe, Brooke Brekke, and Torre Moser who were all part of the third-place distance medley relay team at the Sun Belt indoor championships. Dana Cox will also contribute in the distance events and took third place in the 10,000 for the outdoor champion-ships. Samantha Campanaro will also play a vital role for App State and was the team’s top 3,000m steeplechase runner last season with a time of 11:01.76. Also look for Maria Stickley in the distance events.

Appalachian State enters year two as a member of the Sun Belt Conference for 2015-16. In Appalachian’s first season in the league, the Mountaineers took sixth at the indoor championships and seventh for the outdoor championships.

Head coach John Weaver enters his 34th season at the helm of the Appalachian State women’s track program and his 20th season as the director of both the men’s and women’s programs.

SPRINTS The Mountaineers return a load of talent in the sprints category including Micah Hanks, Catherine Crawford and Taryn Stern. As a freshman, Hanks held the team’s top indoor 55m-dash time at 7.20 while Crawford was first on the squad in both the indoor 60m and indoor 200m dashes at 8.10 and 25.26, respectively. Stern returns as a graduate and was the team’s top indoor 400m-dash runner a season ago with a time of 58.68.

When it came to outdoor, Crawford was first on the team in the 100 (12.15), 200 (24.75) and the 400 (58.56).

Both Krystal Clarke (also does jumps) and Avery Walter will add some depth here.

MIDDLE DISTANCE For middle distance, Shelby Howell comes back for her senior season and is the unquestioned leader in this department. Last season, she took second in the 800 at the Sun Belt Indoor Championships with a time of 2:11.25 (PR) and in that same meet, she was part of the third-place DMR team that was clocked at 11:59.29.

DISTANCE This is Tristin Van Ord’s area of expertise and she is coming off a historic sophomore season in 2014-15. Not only did she hold the team’s top indoor times in the mile (4:59.06/

THROWS Back for her senior season and leading the charge for throws is Brianna Tate. Last season, Tate took third place in the Sun Belt Outdoor Championships’ hammer throw, but that was only a small portion of her success for the indoor and outdoor seasons. During the indoor portion of the schedule, Tate won the shot put three times (Appalachian Indoor, Wake Forest Invite, Mountaineer Open Indoor) and the weight throw once (Mountaineer Open Indoor). Her PR for the shot put (49’ 11”) set at the Hoke Invite and good for second place is second in school history. Her outdoor personal best in the shot put (51’ 3.75”) at the Sun Belt Outdoor Championships (fifth place) ranks second in school history.

Also back is Shea Wheeler who held the team’s top javelin distance of 110’ 4” set at the App State Open Outdoor and was good for third place.

JUMPS When it comes to jumps, Appalachian State will be led by Hunter Welborn and Kaytlyn Gill.A season ago, Welborn was the team’s top high jumper with marks of 5’ 7.25” (indoor) and 5’ 6.5” (outdoor). Gill was the squad’s ringleader in both the long jump and triple jump and is back for her sophomore season. Krystal Clarke comes back for her junior season to compete in both sprints and jumps.

Track and Fieldappalachian STaTe Just like the women, it’s year two in the Sun Belt Conference for Appalachian State University men’s track and field. Last season, the Moun-taineers took sixth in the indoor championships and seventh for the outdoor championships. Head coach John Weaver embarks on his 34th season as the head coach and director of the women’s program and 20th season as the director for both the men’s and women’s programs.

SPRINTS For sprints, the Mountaineers will be led by William Buckley who was an NCAA national qualifier a season ago in the 100-meter dash. Buckley took 12th in that event at the NCAA Prelims with a time of 10.44 before a 21st-place showing at the national championships with a time of 10.45. He also competed in the 200-meter dash at the prelims and came in 32nd place while being clocked at 21.43. His PR in the indoor 200-meter dash was 21.77 and is good for seventh in school history. When it came to outdoor, his 100-meter dash personal best of 10.30 is second in program history and his 200 time of 21.01 is fourth in program history. Buckley will get some help in the sprints from both Marshall McRae and Josh Hanna. McRae was first on the team in the indoor 60-meter dash and was also on the squad’s top 4x1 team while Hanna turned into one of App State’s top relay runners.

HURDLES Stanley Broaden has been the team’s top hurdler for quite some time and that won’t change for the 2015-16 season. Last year, the graduate was a first-team all-conference performer after taking outdoor titles in both the 110-meter hurdles and 400-meter hurdles en route to being named the Sun Belt Men’s Most Outstanding Track Performer. His 110-meter hurdle time of 14.10 set last year is tied for sixth in school history and his 400-meter hurdle time of 51.58 ranks third in program history. MIDDLE DISTANCE When it comes to the middle distance cat-egory, the Mountaineers will look to sopho-more, Ryan Hastings. Last season, Hastings

had or was part of three of the team’s top indoor times (800, 4x4, DMR) and six of the team’s top outdoor marks (400, 800, 4x4, 4x8, SMR, DMR). His indoor PR for the 800 (1:53.75) was good for fifth place at the Sun Belt Championships and is ninth in porgram history while his outdoor PR in that event (1:50.46) was good for third at the outdoor conference meet and ranks third in program his-tory.

Hastings will get some help from Peter Oven-dorf in middle distance. Ovendorf was a member of the 4x8 team with Hastings that had the fastest time on the team (7:47.64)

DISTANCE This group returns plenty of experience includ-ing seniors Evan Laratta, Michael Ellis, and Chris Anderson, as well as sophomore Evan Georges. Both Laratta and Ellis were members of the distance medley relay team that took third at the Sun Belt Indoor Championships. Anderson brings valuable experience as he has competed in a multitude of events including the 3,000 and 5,000 for indoor and the 800, 1,500, mile, 5,000, and 10,000 for outdoor. Georges competed in both the indoor and outdoor seasons for 2014-15, but

was much busier during the outdoor portion. He earned himself six top-10 finishes and nine plac-ings inside the top 20.

THROWS For throwing events, The Mountaineers will be led by Nathan Milch, Myquon Stout and Ells-worth Parham. Milch owns the sixth-best indoor shot put mark (53’ 9”) and ninth-best outdoor dis-cus toss (161’ 10”). Stout competed during only

the outdoor season but collected seven top five’s, nine top 10’s and was among the top 15 for all of his placings. Parham is seventh in school history in the indoor shot put (52’ 11”) and second in the outdoor javelin (189’).

JUMPS The three big names for the jumps are Cole Finch, Phillip Thomas and Kimani Hoffman. Finch garnered four top-five indoor finishes, Thomas’ indoor PV of 15’ 7.25” is 10th in school history and the outdoor mark of 16’ 2.75” is second in school history, while Hoffman made it all the way to USA Junior Nationals in the triple jump and placed seventh.

HOLMES CONVOCATION CENTER KIDD BREWER STADIUM

VARSITY GYM

Appalachian indoor track and field enters its eighth season in the George M. Holmes Con-vocation Center. The Holmes Center serves as home of Mountaineer indoor track and field, as

well as Appalachian’s men’s and women’s basket-ball 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 Center serves as the cornerstone to the entry to campus and houses App’s Department of Health, Leisure 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 Nov. 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 in-augural contest at the Holmes Center in just 12 minutes.

Public service, a cornerstone upon which Appa-lachian was founded, is the hallmark of the two individuals whose names adorn the univer-sity’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 scholarship in 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, it was the first facility in either North or South Carolina to install artificial turf, with Appalachian and Elon staging the first football game on fake grass in the Carolinas on Oct. 3, 1970. Opened Sept. 15, 1962, the stadium was originally constructed with 10,000 permanent seats. Seating capacity was expanded to 18,000 following the 1978 season. Completion of an extensive renovation 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 ath-letic 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 of-fices, the Dr. Evan Ashby Sports Medicine Room, strength and condi-tioning areas, and locker rooms. 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, Brewer’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 secretary 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 administrative as-sistant. Brewer returned to North Carolina and ran for lieutenant gover-nor 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 Conrad Stadium from 1962 to 1988 for William J. Conrad, a former Appalachian 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 those roles, he managed the company’s entire sales force, which included approximately 350 employees and more than 90 university and conference partnerships. Before joining the ISP/IMG corporate headquarters, Gillin spent the first nine years of his athletics career on college campuses. He began as an as-sistant ticketing/business office director at Lehigh (1993-94) then served as an assistant marketing director at New Mexico (1994-95) and Missouri (1995-97).

The Gillin Family: Lia, Leslie, Shea, Doug and Chase

Doug Gillin was introduced as Appalachian State University’s director of athletics on Feb. 27, 2015.

Appalachian State University is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Boone, N.C. At an elevation of 3,333 feet, Boone began as a frontier outpost named after pioneer Daniel Boone, who first explored the area in the 1760s. Boone now at-tracts those seeking a breathtaking location, adventure and a quality education. Appalachian is one of the 17 institutions in the University of North Carolina system and offers a challenging learning experience. The university combines a small-town atmosphere with a strong academic reputation. Appalachian’s academics are supported by an accomplished faculty, close, personal interaction between students and faculty, and intimate class sizes that average 26 students. Originally founded as a teachers college, Appalachian now cultivates leaders in business, science, the arts, communication, music, nursing, education and other careers. Innovation and creativity are hallmarks of Appalachian graduates, who are leaders in communities in North Carolina and around the world. Ap-palachian also emphasizes the importance of sustainability and service to com-munities, both locally and globally. Today, Appalachian is a leader in the fields of energy-focused sustainable technology and the health sciences. Consistently ranked among U.S. News and World Report’s best public universi-ties in the Southeast, Appalachian is also noted as a “best value” by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine and other publications. Appalachian’s 410-acre main campus includes 22 academic buildings, a 210,000-square-foot library, 19 residence halls, three dining facilities and 11 recre-ational and athletic facilities. Appalachian also operates a living-learning center in New York City and off-campus programs in 10 counties through collaboration with area community colleges.

ATHLETICS EXCELLENCE More than 450 student-athletes compete in 20 NCAA Division 1 varsity sports at Appalachian State University, 10 for men and 10 for women. Appalachian was a dominant force in the Southern Conference for more than 40 years before joining the Sun Belt Conference in July 2014 – one of 10 conferences that are members of the Division 1 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Appalachian student-athletes work just as hard in the classroom: • * In May 2015, Appalachian athletics was awarded the Sun Belt’s 2015 Institu-tional Graduation Rate Award for 2013-14. The award is given to the school with the highest Federal Graduation Rate among all current Sun Belt members. • * 101 Appalachian student-athletes were named to the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner’s List in fall 2014, an honor given to student-athletes with a GPA of 3.5 or higher. • * 109 Appalachian student-athletes were named to the Sun Belt’s Academic Honor Roll in fall 2014, an honor given to student-athletes with a GPA of 3.0-3.49. • * 210 student-athletes were awarded academic honors, making Appalachian the school with the most students to do so.

APPALACHIAN STATE ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT The Department of Athletics at Appalachian State University believes in maintaining the intercollegiate athletics program as an integral part of the University’s overall program of education, with emphasis on and priority given to high academic quality and standards and the complete development of the student. Appalachian State University provides opportunity and encouragement for student-athletes to progress toward degrees of their choice and to develop athletic abilities in an environment consistent with high standards of academic scholarship, leadership and institu-tional loyalty. The Department of Athletics is committed to ensuring the general welfare of the student-athlete and to encouraging the highest standards of sportsmanship on behalf of student-athletes, the student body and the University’s supporters. The intercollegiate athlete representing Appalachian is both a bona-fide student pursuing a degree program and an amateur competitor. Appalachian Athletics is committed to insuring equitable recruitment, participation and treatment of individuals including members of under-represented populations through its

athletics administration, staff, coaches, programs and policies. The University’s policy of non-discrimination represents a moral and ethical, not merely a legal, imperative. The University has determined that its athletics program will meet the necessary qualifica-tions, guidelines and funding to hold membership in Division I of the NCAA. The athletics administration, the faculty athletics representative and the Athletics Council work together to insure that all teams and coaches follow the rules and regulations governing this division. A sound program of intercollegiate athletics should benefit the institution through its ef-fects on students, alumni ad the institution itself. Specifically, it should maintain and improve the loyalty and esprit de corps of the student body, and in strengthening the pride and enthu-siasm of the alumni; it should serve as a favorable public relations factor and provide benefits to the participants.APPALACHIAN STATE ATHLETICS DIVERSITY STATEMENT Appalachian athletics promotes an inclusive culture that fosters equitable participation for student-athletes and equitable career opportunities for coaches, administrators and support staff from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

APPALACHIAN TIMELINE APPALACHIAN TODAY

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. Boone’s accolades include National Geographic Adventure magazine’s “Best Places to Live and Play,” Outside magazine’s top 10 “Best Towns in America,” USA Today’s “10 Great Small Towns with Huge Backyards,” ”U.S. News and World Report’s “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S.” and TripAdvisor’s “Hidden Gems: 13 U.S. Towns That Are Diamonds in the Rough.” Boone is also ranked the 10th safest place in North Carolina by Movoto.com and 19th in SafeWise.com’s “50 Safest Cities in North Carolina,” based on the latest FBI crime report data. 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 Orches-tra. 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.

She served in that interim capacity until June 30, 2008, when she left Nebraska to become provost and vice president for academic affairs at Illinois State University. In accepting her position as chancellor, Everts said, “A university campus is an amazing place of confluence where great leaders and ideas emerge for the betterment of society. Our remarkable students, faculty and staff, combined with an engaged community, make this a very special place to live and work. The passion for teaching, learning, innovation, creativity and service is palpable on this campus and each day I am renewed by our community’s dedication to making a difference in the world.”

ABOUT APPALACHIANAppalachian State University prepares students to lead purposeful lives as engaged global citizens who understand their responsibili-

ties in creating a sustainable future for all. The transformational Appalachian experience promotes a spirit of inclusion that brings

people together in inspiring ways to acquire and create knowledge, to grow holistically, to act with passion and determination, and em-brace diversity and difference. Our students become agile learners who think critically, communicate effectively, make local to global

connections, and understand the responsibilities of community en-gagement. We embrace our obligation to help create healthy, just,

and sustainable societies by equipping our students to live with knowledge, compassion, dedication, humility, and dignity.

MORE THAN A LOCATIONAppalachian’s beautiful setting in the Blue Ridge Mountains is more

than a location – it profoundly shapes how our community lives, works and learns together. Our commitment to sustainability is a

tradition, not a trend, and Appalachian is an active steward of North Carolina’s interconnected financial, cultural and natural resources. This commitment shows in many ways, including our tuition rates, textbook rental program, commitment to energy efficiency, eco-

nomic viability and equitable citizenship. Because of this and much more, Appalachian ranks No. 7 out of 592 schools in MyPlan.com’s student rankings for “Overall Satisfaction & Happiness with Choice.”

Dr. Sheri Noren Everts serves as Appalachian’s chancellor. Dr. Darrell Kruger is provost and executive vice chancellor. The university is

governed by the university’s Board of Trustees and the University of North Carolina system’s Board of Governors.
