3 HOME OF THE BEACH JACK ROSE TRACK Long Beach State s multi-million dollar track & field stadium is complete. The first phase of LBSU s new home, which began on Sept. 8, 2014, included a $3 million track redesign and replacement. The facility has also seen the addition of bleachers, and will have lights and a scoreboard installed in the near future. The completed project will showcase a facility that is among the very best in the United States, with the centerpiece being the track and its design features. The new track is NCAA, USATF and IAAF certified, making it one of only a handful of facilities in the nation that meet the international standards. The stadium will eventually boast seating for 5,000 spectators and allow for additional team and student seating. With this, and other important elements accomplished, the redesign will accomplish the vision of a national-class facility that can play host to major invitational meets as well as NCAA and U.S. Track & Field championships. 2 longbeachstate.com 2

4 HOME OF THE BEACH TRACK FACILITY The stadium track offers Long Beach State student-athletes a world-class home to train and compete on. The state-of-the-art competition areas feature a 9-lane track that is NCAA, USATF and IAAF certified. The desirable European oval design offers wide radius turns with 48-inch lanes. The shorter straightaway feature of the track creates a longer, smoother curve than the typical 100-by-100 meter configuration. This longer, smoother curve will give this facility the reputation as one of the fastest tracks in the United States, if not the world. A 10th lane has been added as a buffer-zone for competitor safety, and a Zero lane has been installed inside Lane 1 for warm-up and cool-down purposes. The field event areas consist of dual infield competition throwing circles for shot put, dual infield discus rings, dual javelin runways, an outside competition hammer/discus ring, and three outside shot put throwing pads for additional training and competitions. Additionally, there are cement walkways around the outside hammer/discus ring with seating for spectators. The jumping areas consist of dual infield, side-by-side approaches for high jump, and dual parallel outfield runways for long/triple jumps and pole vault that can be reversed for wind conditions, if needed. The dual runways and throwing rings offer the ability to hold multiple-event competition, allowing the University to host top-level invitational meets as well as national championships. The University s unique location near the ocean will also allow the facility to take advantage of optimal, on-shore wind conditions for all jumping, throwing, and sprinting events. The seating capacity aims to achieve 5,000 permanent seats, with the potential to exceed 8,000 upon completion of all phases of the project. LCD DISPLAY SCOREBOARD The scoreboard will feature a high-resolution, graphic capable, color display. It will stand between 30 and 60 feet tall and feature a display area of 11-by-17 feet. In addition to displaying the time of day and individual event times, the scoreboard will show names of competitors, schools, places, and performances for up to nine athletes for both track and field events. SEATING The main finish line is located on the east side of the stadium. This area will provide 3,500 seats and a press box that meets ADA requirements and allows for sound, timing, and video display operations under all weather conditions. Seating on the west side of the stadium is primarily for field event spectating on the backstretch, adjacent to the outside jumps location. Seating capacity on the west side backstretch will be 1,500. Team areas and student seating will be located on the north and south turns. The terraced design of these unique seating areas will showcase The Beach and provide enclosure to the stadium. These areas will be cement, with synthetic turf on the multiple-level landscaped terrace. The final product will exceed the NCAA and USA Track & Field requirements for hosting championship events. WARM-UP FACILITY Designed to meet NCAA & USATF requirements to host national championships, the warm-up facility will feature a 100m long, 6-lane straightaway with a grass warm-up field for the competitors. The area will also serve as the staging area for officials, volunteers, medical staff, trainers, and the clerk of the course. Built into the design of the 6-lane straightaway will be a decline-running ramp for LBSU team speed development. TRACK BUILDING This building will serve as a hub of operations while hosting events and will include equipment storage, implement weigh-ins, official and volunteer meeting areas, along with ice-bath tubs for the competitors. LIGHTS & SOUND SYSTEM Stadium lighting will allow national and world-class events to be held at Jack Rose Track. A top of the line SS-500HD sound system will also be mounted on the scoreboard with the capability of reaching all areas of the stadium. OTHER FEATURES The northwest and northeast entrances will include ticket booths and plazas for spectators and vendors. Palm trees and other landscaping will promote a beach theme, and create a memorable look for all who come to The Beach. Parking proximity and availability is another major bonus for the new track & field stadium. Long Beach State s largest existing parking garage is located on the west side of the stadium, adjacent to the track, with a capacity of 2,726 spaces. Additional west campus lots are within a very short walking distance to the track and provide an additional 5,661 parking spaces, bringing the total number of available spaces on the west side of the track to 8, longbeachstate.com 3

A seven-time Big West Men s Track & Field Coach of the Year (2006, 2008, 2011, ), Sythe is now in his 29th season at the helm of the cross country and indoor/outdoor track & field teams at the Beach. He has developed a combined program that is among the best in the Big West Conference as well as at the regional and national level. Sythe has guided his student-athletes to more than 50 All-America performances and 16 conference athlete of the year awards. He has also had five Big West Freshman of the Year award winners. Last season, Long Beach State qualified 17 athletes for the 2017 NCAA West Preliminaries, with senior Riley Cooks and junior Vincent Calhoun each earning All-American honors at the NCAA Championships. Cooks concluded he rbrilliant career with Big West titles in the long jump and heptathlon, earning her second straight Big West Athlete of the Meet honor at the conference champinships. Kemonie Briggs was named the men s Athlete of the Meet to make it a Long Beach State sweep, thanks to his event win in the long jump and All-Big West finishes in the 200m, 400m, and 4x400m relay. That duo of Cooks and Briggs went on to win their respective Big West Field Athlete of the Year honors. Newcomer Jason Smith was also awarded as the conference s Freshman of the Year. In 2016, the men s squad captured its fourth-straight Big West Conference Championship to win its 10th overall Big West championship, tying former member Fresno State for the most in conference history. The Beach also joined the Bulldogs as the only two men s team to win four consecutive Big West titles. In addition to winning the conference title, senior Willie Alexander scored a school-record 42 points on at the meet as he was named the Men s Athlete of the Meet after winning the triple jump and claiming runner up honors in the 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay and long jump.

Additionally, the Beach has now sent at least three individuals to the national meet since In 2015, the 49er men s team successfully defended their Big West team title to secure the first three-peat in school history. With the win, the Beach became just the third men s program in conference history, and the only current member of the Big West, to claim three championships in a row. The Long Beach State men finished with eight individual Big West titles and 18 all-conference performances. The 49ers thrived in the field events where they scored 116 of their 185 points. They had five conference champions in Kody Robison (Hammer), Jacob Fraser (Discus), Willie Alexander (Long Jump), Ryan Sanders (Triple Jump) and Michael Montgomery (Pole Vault). Alexander was also the runner-up in the triple jump as he was named the 2015 Big West Men s Field Athlete of the Year. Cameron Glasgow, who was tabbed the Big West Men s Track Athlete of the Year, led the Beach in the running events as he won the 400m, while also joining forces with Dylan McCloskey, Michael Perez-Rogers and Jahmani Lockett to defend their title in the 4x400 relay. Chris Low was also a back-to-back champion in the 800m. LBSU continued to lead the conference in the postseason where it sent 17 athletes to the NCAA West Preliminary and a school-record seven to the NCAA Championships. Glasgow finished his career as a two-time All-American (400m, 4x400), while Perez-Rogers (4x400), McCloskey (4x400), Lockett (4x400), Alexander (Triple Jump), Low (800m) and Montgomery (Pole Vault) also garnered honorable mention All-America honors. Adding to an award-filled season, the Beach was ranked 15th in the final Track & Field News Dual Meet Rankings. In 2014, the men cruised to the Big West title with nine individual champions and a school-record points. Sythe s pole vaulters gave the Beach a huge boost with a 26.5-point outburst as all five of the team s entrants finished in scoring position (1st-2nd-4th-6th-8th). The women s squad also took fourth overall with Fatima Vergara claiming top honors in the hammer throw. The men and women had 22 athletes qualify for the NCAA West Preliminary Rounds, including a program-record 16 individuals on the men s side. Willie Alexander, Chris Low and Chris Enriquez also advanced to the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, where they combined to post a 24th-place team finish. Alexander was the national runner-up in the long jump, while Low took seventh in the 800m. Low was the 49ers first-ever first-team All-American in the 800m. In addition, the Beach men went undefeated in dual meets as they were 37-0 in scoring opportunities. The 2014 squad closed out the year ranked ninth in the Track & Field News dual meet rankings, while the women came in at No. 21.

In 2012, the 49er track & field team posted 28 All-Big West performances, with five individual conference titles. Long Beach State also had a Big West-leading 17 entries in the NCAA West Preliminary Round. Two athletes, Katrina Graves-Johnson (high jump) and Ben Woodruff (javelin) qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships, where they both earned honorable mention All-America distinction. Graves-Johnson and Matt Maldonado (mile) were also second-team All-Americans during the indoor season. In addition, Woodruff was tabbed the Big West Men s Field Athlete of the Year, while Jahmani Lockett was named the Co-Big West Men s Freshman of the Year.

10 HEAD COACH ANDY SYTHE of the Year and the 2011 Big West Men s Field Athlete of the Year. He personally accounted for 29 points at the conference championships as he became just the second individual in league history to score in all four throwing events. In 2010, Kenneth Medwood (400 Hurdles) and Randi Hicks (Javelin) won the individual conference title in their respective events. Seventeen 49ers also qualified for the NCAA West Preliminary meet, with three athletes moving on to the national championships. Hicks highlighted the group, earning All-America honors in the javelin. Medwood went on to compete in the 2012 London Olympic Games, representing his native country of Belize. He was selected by his nation as the flag bearer at the opening ceremonies and would advance to the semifinals of the 400m hurdles. Sythe also had four of his athletes compete at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials. The men s squad won the Big West title in 2008, compiling 185 total team points. The 49ers had 21 individuals qualify for the NCAA Regionals, with six advancing to the national championship meet where Sythe saw two of his athletes, Brent Gray and Chris Richardson, earn All-America honors for the second time in their careers. The men s team also finished ahead of the pack at the Big West Championships in 2006, while placing 16th at the NCAA Championships, their highest team finish since 1998 when the Sytheled team took 17th. Since the inception of NCAA track and field regional qualifying in 2003, Long Beach State has sent over 200 qualifiers to the postseason meet. Over the last three years, Sythe sent more qualifiers to the NCAA Regionals than any other combined program in the Big West Conference. While under his direction, the LBSU track and field program has also been consistently ranked among the top 20 percent of over 320 NCAA Division I schools. Sythe has also directed the cross country squad to a number of top performances. In the fall of 2013, Chris Enriquez earned an individual berth to the NCAA Cross Country Championships. He was the first 49er to qualify for the event in the modern era of NCAA cross country (since 1980). Enriquez advanced to the national meet after placing 10th at the NCAA West Regional, the highest finish in school history.

47 HALL OF FAME Multiple All-Big West Honorees (Since 1985) Three 49ers have graced the covers of Sports Illustrated - Dwight Stones (left), Steve Smith (center) and George Frenn (right). Long Beach State Athletics Hall of Fame John Rambo (inducted 1986), Jack Rose (1986), Dwight Stones (1987), Joni Huntley (1991), Jim Richardson (1991), Ron Allice (1992), Kate Schmidt (1993), Ralph Lee (1994), Bob Pinkerton (1994), Walter Clements (1998), Bill Green (2001), Ramona Pagel (2001), Ami Ice (2006), Le Gretta Hinds (2011) JACK ROSE Rose was a busy man during his 25 years as a coach at LBSU. In addition to the usual complement of meets scheduled for his track and cross country teams, Rose hosted 125 all-comers meets and 41 Long Beach Relays. Rose-coached teams won nine conference championships and one national title. Rose retired from coaching in 1981, but remained active in the track and field community until his death. The annual Jack Rose Relays and the track stadium, are both in memory of Rose, who passed away in Few athletes have dominated a sport or event the way Stones dominated the high jump, with countless national records, three world records and even the cover of Sports Illustrated. One of those world records came on June 5, 1976, when Stones, representing LBSU, leaped 7-feet, 7 inches to win the NCAA Championship. One of only two athletes in history to win two Olympic medals in the event, Stones was a member of three U.S. Olympic teams and has worked for NBC Sports. JIM RICHARDSON The first of the 49ers dynamic sprinters, Richardson, at one time, held school records in the 100-meter, 200-meter, 400-meter and long jump and was a member of recordsetting relay teams in the 400-meters, 800-meters, 1600 meters as well as the sprint and distance medleys. As a track coach at Poly High, he produced 12 All-Americans in 10 seasons. Richardson went on to be the head coach at Long Beach City College. Schmidt s athletic credentials are impressive: three Olympic teams, two Olympic Bronze Medals in the javelin and a world record in that event (227 feet, 5 inches in 1977). But to truly appreciate Kathy Schmidt, you need to know of her out-in-front approach to amateur athletics in the 1970s. Told that European coaches felt that, with their style of training, Schmidt could throw the javelin feet, she said: Under their system, they ve got people who are controlling your whole life. Well, forget that. Never in my life am I going to do anything like that. JOHN RAMBO DWIGHT STONES KATHY SCHMIDT Rambo was a stellar performer in two sports at LBSU. He led the basketball team in scoring in 1965 (20.3 points per game) and upon his induction, ranked among the top- 10 in scoring and rebounding. But Rambo dominated in track. He was a two-time national champion in the high jump and in 1964 soared 7 feet, 1 inch to earn a Bronze Medal at the Tokyo Olympics. He was also a three-time AAU indoor champion.
