Head Coach • 21st Season • Southern Utah, 1981 Thirty-four time conference and 1999 NCAA Mountain Regional Coach of the Year Eric Houle is in his 21st season as head track and field and cross coun-try coach at Southern Utah University. Since his arrival at SUU in 1992, the Thunderbirds have won 38 conference championships, including seven Summit League titles, 31 Mid-Con titles com-

bined in track and cross country, an American West title and one NCAA Mountain Regional cross country championship. In addition, Houle has coached 549 all-conference athletes, 212 in-dividual conference champions, 33 conference athletes of the year, 28 conference newcomers of the year, 33 NCAA national qualifiers, 109 NCAA West regional qualifiers and four NCAA All-Americans, including Cameron Levins, who picked up the title in track and in cross country. In 2011-12, the Thunderbirds finished their time with the Summit League with the men earning the cross country and indoor titles and the women finishing second in cross country. Distance runner Cameron Levins won seven individual Summit League titles during the season, going on to com-pete at the NCAA Nationals during the cross country, indoor and outdoor seasons and earning All-American status in five different events, includ-ing a national title in both the outdoor 5,000-meters and 10,000-meters. Levins went on to compete for Canada at the 2012 London Olympics, becoming Southern Utah’s first Olympian. In 2007-08, Southern Utah cross country swept the inaugural Summit League cross country titles, marking the tenth time the men have capture the conference title and the eighth time for the women. The men followed up the feat the very next year for their third consecutive cross country title during the 2008-09 season. The men also added an outdoor champion-ship trophy to the case last year as well. In 2006-07, Coach Houle led the Thunderbirds to four conference titles, including a “Triple Crown” season for the Southern Utah men. SUU’s men captured the Mid-Continent cross country title by finishing first through fifth to set a new scoring record and finishing a perfect race. The men then went on to finish first in the indoor and outdoor track and field championships for the complete sweep on the year. The women joined the men on the top step of the podium during the outdoor season. For his efforts, Houle was named the Mid-Con Coach of the Year for men’s cross country, men’s indoor/outdoor track an field and women’s outdoor track and field. In 2003-04, Houle led the Thunderbirds to a dual Mid-Continent Conference “Triple Crown” sweep as both programs won the cross country, indoor and outdoor track titles, marking the first time in conference his-tory that a program had won all six cham-pionships in one season. The cross country sweep was the fifth Mid-Con sweep six years, with the SUU women taking home their sixth-straight Mid-Con crown overall, while the T-Bird men won for the sixth time in seven tries. Meanwhile, the women repeated as in-door and outdoor track champions to claim their second straight “Triple Crown” and

their third in four years, while the men tasted victory in the indoor season for the first time in program history and notched their second outdoor title overall in the sweep. In 1999, Coach Houle led the Thunderbird men to their first-ever NCAA Mountain Division Cross Country Championship, stopping a streak of six-straight titles won by nationally-ranked Colorado, as well as knocking off four other nationally-ranked teams, a feat no other collegiate team in Utah has accomplished to date. The win put the Thunderbirds into the national rankings for the first time ever (#11 overall) and earned them their first-ever berth to the NCAA Championships, where SUU placed 21st overall. Houle’s efforts garnered him NCAA Regional Coach of the Year honors. In June of 1999, Natalie Gibson became SUU’s first-ever track NCAA All-American, competing in the 400-meter hurdles at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Boise, Idaho. In addition, Houle’s athletes have done it in the classroom as 15 Thunderbird athletes have garnered CoSIDA(College Sports Information Directors of America) Academic all-District VIII honors, with nine of those athletes having gone on to earn Academic All-America accolades, over the past five seasons. SUU’s men’s cross country program has also won two academic national championships in 1997-98 and 2004-05, while the women’s program was academic national runner-up in 2002-03. Houle graduated with two bachelor’s degrees from SUU – in physical education and communication – in 1981, and added a Master’s degree in secondary education in 1998. Houle began his head coaching career in 1982 at Salt Lake City’s Judge Memorial High School. In eight seasons at JMHS, Houle’s cross country teams won 10 region and three state championships and had five runner-up finishes. Houle and his wife Diane are the parents of two grown sons, Deric and Nick, and reside in Cedar City. Coach Houle was inducted into the Utah Sum-mer Games Hall of Honor in 2004 and Southern Utah’s Coaching Factory Hall of Fame in 2012, in recognition of his career c o a c h i n g accomplish-ments.

Past Championships 05

Southern Utah Track & Field enters the 2013 season in a whole new conference as the university migrates from the Summit League to the Big Sky Conference.

The Thunderbird distance squads turned heads as they made their Big Sky debut during the fall cross country season, entering the conference with a second-place finish on the women’s side and third-place finish for the men.

Nate Jewkes and Jamie Smith led the squads at the conference championship, each placing fourth in their respective races, and return to compete for SUU on the track. Smith went on to place 11th at the region level while Jewkes advanced all the way to the national, finishing 54th at the NCAA Championship.

All-Summit League runner Clinton Rhoton also returns with the men’s distance squad along with Ryan Barrus, Devan Antczak, Elijah Rono, Nigel Sharp and John Hart.

The men’s squad will also be joined by three new additions to the roster: Ibrahim Ahmed (St. Catharines, Ontario), Tyson Boyer (Pine View), and Mack Morrison (American Fork).

Ahmed is the younger brother of Canadian Olympian and All-American Mohammed Ahmed, while Boyer earned the Region IX title in the two-mile run. Morrison currently holds the state cross country title with a 15:22.4 finish in the three-mile run.

All-Big Sky cross county athletes Sylvia Bedford, Kirsten Bradford and Danielle Jewkes return with the women’s distance squad alongside Smith, as well as Shelli Mogensen, Kaylee Coates and Ashley Gray.

Kaylee Boyer (Pine View) and Josie Brandow (Lone Peak) will also be included in the distance squad as they join the 2012-13 roster. Twin sister of fellow freshman Tyson Boyer, Kaylee Boyer also brings a Region IX title in the two mile.

The sprinters return with Summit League champions Preston Myers and Shaun Murray at the head. Myers raced to first-place finishes in both the 100- and 200-meter dashes, advancing to the NCAA West Preliminaries where he finished 34th in the 200-meters and 43rd in the 100-meters. Murray earned his conference title with a first-place finish in the indoor 60-meter dash.

The sprinters welcome one new signee to the men’s team as Arnold Carrillo (Reno, Nev.) joins the T-Birds, bringing a top state time of 47.4 in the 400-meters.

Kodai Kusano, Tim Dalene, Jayson Matlock and Julian Robinson also enter the Big Sky as they gear up to compete in the hurdles. Dalene and Kusano return from redshirt seasons while Matlock and Robinson each enter their second year in the track & field program.

Jamila Pullum, Lindsay Terry and Mayra Franco return to sprint on the women’s side while T’Keyah Johnson (Hunter), Haley Harris (Reno, Nev.) and Latangie Richard (Las Vegas, Nev.) join the squad. Shaye Maurer will again compete in both the sprints and hurdles after taking a redshirt year in 2012.

Along with hurdles and sprints, Maurer will also compete in the jumps and multi events. Combining all of her events, Maurer set five individual school records in 2011 and competed as a member of the record-setting outdoor 4x100-meter relay and 4x400-meter relay teams.

The jumps squad will be led on the men’s side by Alex Anderson and Stephen Wilson, with Jayson Cole (Manti), Spencer Crankshaw (Canyon View), and Eric Durrant (Richfield) joining the team. Anderson earned all-Summit League recognition with a first-place finish in the outdoor triple jump.

Chelsea Atkinson and Krystal Brown return to jump on the women’s squad and will be joined by Taylir Garrison (American Fork) who brings a second-place finish in the high jump at the 5A state championship.

The throwers enter the 2012-13 season led by Chris Johnson on the men’s side. Johnson earned all-Summit League status in 2012 with a first-place finish in the outdoor shot put in 2012. He will be joined by Jayson Kovar (Ridgcrest, Calif.), Grant Evans (Springville) and Jordan Parker (Riverton). Kovar is the younger brother of leading thrower Kayla Kovar and finished third and seventh in the discus and shot put in California.

Kayla Kovar returns once again to lead the women after taking the indoor shot put and outdoor shot put, discus and hammer titles at the Summit League Championship. Kovar earned the title of 2012 Field Championship MVP and went on to finish 23rd in the shot put and 25th in the discus at the NCAA West Preliminaries. Sadi Hoyt, Whitney Fairbanks, Rylee Mulitalo and Jennika Wright also return to compete. They will be joined by Chelsea Deutschlander (Claremont, Calif.) and Madison Summers (Weber).

Cameron Levins - SUU Legend 29

Cameron LevinsNCAA National Champion • Olympian • 2012 Bowerman Recipient Distance runner Cameron Levins gained national and inter-national recognition in 2012 as he concluded his collegiate career at Southern Utah University, racing to two NCAA titles and competing for his native Canada at the London Summer Olympics. Levins ended the year gaining further recognition as the recipient of The Bowerman award, the most prestigious award in collegiate track and field.

The Bowerman, considered to be the track and field equiva-lent of the Heisman Trophy, was awarded in December 2012 by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Associa-tion. Levins first appeared on the Bowerman watch list in May, 2012, and was named a finalist for the men’s award in June. The other finalists were Tony McQuay (Florida) and Andrew Riley (Illinois). Levins received the men’s award, earning na-tional recognition for his athletic achievements in 2012.

Levins opened his senior year at SUU with an outstanding 2011 cross country season, leading the men to a Summit League title with a first-place finish at the championship. He won five of the seven cross country meets he attended and finished fourth at the NCAA National Championship.

Levins returned to Canada shortly after the NCAA champion-ship to defend his title of Canadian Cross Country Champion. He first took the national title in 2010 and repeated as cham-pion in 2011, finishing 45 seconds ahead of the trailing pack with a 10,000-meter time of 32:04.

His success in Canada eventually led to a berth at the North America, Central America and Caribbean Cross Country Championship in March, 2012. Levins raced to another victory

at the Port of Spain, Trinidad, venue, finishing first among athletes from eight different countries.

Levins found continued success on the track as he opened the indoor season with NCAA qualifying times in both the 3,000- and 5,000-meter runs at the UW Invitational. He continued the season competing at prestigious venues and gaining national and international attention.

Racing in the New Balance Grand Prix, Levins finished fifth in the 3,000-meters with a Southern Utah record time of 7:45.75. Levins’ time ranked eighth in the world at the time, according to the International Association of Athletic Federa-tion (IAAF). Levins also raced in the prestigious Wanamaker Mile at the the Millrose Games, finishing seventh with another school record and NCAA qualifying time of 3:57.16.

Levins went on to gain individual titles in the 800-meters, mile, 3,000-meters and 5,000-meters at the Summit League Cham-pionship, leading Southern Utah’s men to a conference title. He then advanced to the national championship, where he garnered All-American status with a third-place finish in the 3,000-meters and fourth-place finish in the 5,000-meters. The Southern Utah men’s squad earned a 15th-place national fin-ish thanks to Levins’ combined scores.

Transitioning into the outdoor season, Levins raced to first-place finish in the 5,000-meters at the Mt. SAC Relays and recorded a Canadian Olympic A+ qualifying time of 13:18.47. He went on to add a 10,000-meter Olympic qualifying mark with a first-place finish at Stanford and world-leading time of 27:27.96.

Levins concluded the regular season with first-place finishes in the 1,500-meter, 5,000-meter and 10,000-me-ter runs and a third-place finish in the 800-meters at the Summit League championship, helping the men to a third-place team finish. He then advanced to the NCAA West Preliminary and eventually took the national titles in both the 5,000-meters (13:40.05) and 10,000-meters (28:07.14).

The SUU graduate then travelled to the London Sum-mer Games as a member of the Canadian team. Fight-ing off illness, Levins raced to an 11th-place finish in the 10,000-meters and 14th-place finish in the 5,000-meters, participating in the fastest 5,000-meter qualifying heat in Olympic history.

Levins concluded his career at Southern Utah with school records in the indoor 800-meters, mile, 3,000-meters and 5,000-meters and the outdoor 1,500-meters, 5,000-me-ters and 10,000-meters. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in exercise science and plans to pursue a career as a professional athlete.

academic commitment of the staff and coaches is manifest in the overall academic ac-

complishments our teams achieve on an annual basis. The University’s strong academic

emphasis, coupled with the dedicated efforts of the student athletes, allows the Athletics

Department to continually post high marks in the classroom.

The academic climate offered at SUU enables the institution to attract and retain high

new meaning to the term, “campus community.” Cedar City residents are hospitable,

friendly and eager to serve, creating an ideal setting for personal growth. Thunderbird

student athletes readily accept their responsibility of role models and spent countless

hours in the local schools mentoring children.

DEAR THUNDERBIRD FANS AND SUPPORTERS:

One of America’s great coaches once said, “The will to win is not nearly as important as the will to prepare to win.” All of us at Southern Utah University are committed to helping our student-athletes as theypreparetowinontheirrespectivefieldsandcourtsofcompetition.Butmoreimportantly,wearecommitted to helping them acquire those tools, experiences, and skills that will help them succeed in life and their life’s work. I thank you for your continued commitment to SUU and its many outstanding athleticprogramswhichnownumber17–thesecondhighestnumberofDivisionIsportsprogramsoffered in the entire State of Utah.

For all those who enjoy a football Saturday on a beautiful fall day in the shadow of Cedar Mountain, the benefitsofDivisionIathleticsinourcommunityareinnumerable.Fromthedollarsspentbyvisitingteams and fans in our local places of business to the positive media coverage generated by our student-athletes,theUniversityisthebeneficiaryoftheseandotherpositiveby-productsofthesubstantialinvestment in our athletic program. Donors and alumni are even more proud of their association with theUniversitywhentheyseeareturnontheirdonateddollarsintheformofsuccessonthefieldandinthe classroom.

Excellence in athletics will continue to be an investment we are willing to make at Southern Utah University. In addition to those student-athletes who learn invaluable lessons in both the “thrill of victory and the agony of defeat,” athletics provide excellent participation opportunities for stu-dents in bands, cheer squads, dance teams, trainers, marketing interns, and many more. Our student athletes also represent a large percentage of the geographic, socioeconomic, ethnic, and religious diversity on campus which, I believe, enhances and enriches the academic and social experience of ALL our students.

I heartily commend our athletic director, Ken Beazer, and his able and committed staff for their superb stewardship of the funds directed toward athletics. I also wish to thank all the academic and support staff who regularly monitor the progress of our student-athletes to ensure their commit-ment to “prepare to win” while at SUU and well beyond.

Thank you for your support of Southern Utah University and the proud Thunderbird tradition.

Yours sincerely,

President Michael Benson
