1 2009 Season Chronology Building Toward Excellence... The athletic goal of the Liberty University track and field program is to develop into a nationally competitive team at the NCAA Division I level. The Word of God declares, Those who honor me, I will honor. This promise has proven true, as Liberty s track team has been blessed with tremendous and rapid progress in its first three-plus decades of existence. Ultimately, the primary purpose of the team is to bring honor to the Lord Jesus Christ. Chronology of Liberty Track & Field 1971 Lynchburg Baptist College was founded by Dr. Jerry Falwell, pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church, and Dr. A. Pierre Guillermin Lynchburg Baptist gained affiliation with the National Christian Collegiate Athletic Association (NCCAA) The men s track and cross country teams were born under the direction of Jake Matthes The women s track and cross country teams were inaugurated by Jake Matthes, and shortly thereafter placed under the direction of Ron Hopkins, who became the first women s head coach. Jake Matthes 1981 The Flames men s and women s track teams won the NCCAA national championships. Jake Matthes was also named National Christian College Coach of the Year Liberty joined the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) for two years, earning several All-America honors at this level Liberty joined the Mason-Dixon Conference The Flames jumped to the ranks of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II Brant Tolsma was hired as the new men s head track coach, as Hopkins continued to direct the women s squad. Jake Matthes continued as the distance coach In its final year at the NCAA Division II level, the women s cross country team concluded an impressive season by finishing fourth in the nation Both the Flames and the Lady Flames placed in the top 10 nationally, with the men s team placing sixth, and the women s team placing seventh at the national championship meet. This season also began a streak in which Liberty won 15 of 18 Mason-Dixon conference championships in cross country, indoor and outdoor track through Upon its first year of competition at the Division I level, the university completed the construction of a beautiful track facility, ending the days of driving or jogging to practice at local high schools. Decathlete Henry Elliott became the first Liberty track athlete to achieve NCAA Divison I All-American honors Ron Hopkins, the founder of the women s cross country and track programs, died while out on a routine run After 14 years of beginning and building the Flames track program, Coach Jake Matthes retired from coaching. In due fashion, Liberty s new track facility was named the Matthes- Hopkins Track Complex in tribute to the founders of Liberty track and field. In addition, Liberty joined the eightteam Big South Conference, and the highly competitive ECAC/IC4A, which is the oldest and largest - over 80 Division I teams - conference in the country Decathlete Todd Pettyjohn finished ninth at the NCAA national championship meet in New Orleans, becoming Liberty s second NCAA Division I All-American. 39

2 Chronology 2009 Season 1994 After just three years in the IC4A, the men s track team climbed all the way to a second-place finish, which was the beginning of a run of seven successive years among the Top 3 in the IC4A. Sprinter Jacob Swinton and decathlete Ryan Werner were named NCAA Division I All-Americans After several unfortunate injuries, the Flames track & field team fielded only seven athletes at the IC4A championships. Despite a lack of personnel, Liberty edged Seton Hall by one point to capture second place in the conference. For the second consecutive year, Ryan Werner was named an NCAA Division I All-American for his fourth-place finish in the decathlon at nationals For the third time in as many years, Ryan Werner earned NCAA Division I All-American honors as a decathlete. In an upset of major proportions, the Flames defeated heavily favored George Mason - the 1996 indoor national champion -in winning the IC4A championships. The next day, sports writer Alex Rosen wrote: A funny thing happened on the way to George Mason s eighth consecutive IC4A title Liberty University, a team backed by the power of God, had the sun shining on them. Liberty had what could only be described as a performance of Biblical proportions The Flames returned to the IC4A championship as the defending champion, and again defeated Track & Field News favorite to win, Georgetown. The meet was a combination of amazing blessings and major disappointments. Nevertheless, the meet yielded two individual championships, and the team placed second, making it the fourth consecutive year in which Liberty finished in the top two at the IC4A championship Liberty christened the Big South s first season of indoor track by capturing both the men and women s indoor titles. The Flames and Lady Flames proved to be equally successful outdoors, as both teams won their fifth straight Big South conference outdoor track & field titles. The men s team also tied Manhattan for third at the IC4A championships, making the Flames arguably the most consistent team in that conference over the past five years Liberty again won both the indoor and outdoor men s and women s Big South Track Championships. The men s team finished second in the IC4A Championships for the fifth time in six years. Greg Benhase, Mike Decker, Ken Howell and James Johnson represented Liberty at the National Championship. Benhase and Howell became Liberty s 5th and 6th Division I All-Americans, both in the decathlon. The 1996 IC4A Championship Team was a year of individual firsts for the Liberty Track & Field team. Mike Decker became Liberty s first NCAA Division I indoor All-American by finishing 10th overall in the 400 meters, and Andrea Wildrick pole vaulted to become Liberty s first women s All- American since the program moved to the Division I level in Decker repeated his All-America performance on the outdoor track, becoming the first Liberty track & field athlete to win All-American honors in both indoor and outdoor track. Josh Jones won All-America honors in the decathlon, becoming Liberty s eighth division I decathlete to win the honor. The Flames won both the men s and women s Big South Conference Outdoor Championships for the seventh consecutive year and won the indoor meet again for the third year in a row. At the IC4A Championships, the men s track & field team finished second overall, marking the seventh consecutive year that the Flames had finished in the top three in the prestigious event. The women s team finished 18th at the ECAC Championships, their highest-ever finish in the event Both Liberty s men and women extended their outdoor Big South string of victories to eight. Both also repeated as indoor champions. The Liberty ladies continued their progress, as indicated by their 12th-place finish 40 Flames - 25 Big South Championships & 3 IC4A Titles

3 2009 Season Chronology at the indoor ECAC, their highest finish ever. The men s seven-year string of IC4A top three finishes came to an end. Mike Decker again led the team with a strong effort, winning the 400 and finishing second in the 200, as well as running on a placing 4 x 100 relay. He scored an amazing 113 points at the IC4A championship meets in three years. Decker earned his third All- America honor, placing fifth at the indoor national championship, running the 400 in an outstanding The 2002 season was clearly the greatest season in the history of the Lady Flames Track and Field program. Heather Sagan became the first athlete in Liberty history to win a national championship, as she won the 2002 NCAA Indoor National Championship in the mile, while placing second in the 2002 NCAA Outdoor National Championships in the 1,500 meters. Andrea Wildrick became the first Liberty NCAA runner-up, when she placed second in the pole vault at the outdoor national championship after tying for fourth indoors. Wildrick and Sagan also became the Liberty s first-ever ECAC champions; Wildrick winning in the pole vault both indoors and out and Sagan winning in the mile indoors and 1,500 meters outdoors. With the efforts of Sagan and Wildrick, Liberty s Women s Track and Field team placed 15th in the nation in both the indoor and outdoor seasons. Danielle McNaney became Liberty s first freshman to qualify for nationals, accomplishing the feat with her 5,274-point second-place finish in the ECAC heptathlon. McNaney went on to place fourth at the USA Junior Nationals. Sagan was named the U.S. Track Coaches Association Scholar- Athlete of the Year and NCAA Virginia Woman of the Year. She was also named Eastern Track s 2002 Athlete of the Year with Wildrick as runner-up The big news of 2003 was that the men s 10th consecutive Big South outdoor title was taken away from Liberty by the conference office. At issue was the honest effort rule. Quoting Track and Field News, Belated DQ Reverses Big South Standings. Overzealous Application of the Rules? You be the judge. Several days after the Big South Conference Championships, the conference office announced a change in the men s team standings. What happened? Liberty s Jon Debogory was entered in the high jump and shot put simultaneously at a facility where the throwing area was about a half mile from the track. Coach Tolsma explains what happened next. The high jump started later than scheduled and while participating, Debogory received a call from a teammate saying that he needed to be at the shot put as quickly as possible. He took his last jump and hopped in a car to head to the shot put. When he arrived, the official would not let him throw even though the finals had not yet started. Since the conference had told Coach Tolsma prior to the meet that walkie-talkies were available and would be used for communication in such a situation, Tolsma wrongly assumed that this situation could not be considered a violation of the honest effort rule, and Debogory ran on the 4 x 400 relay team. Three days later, the 4 x 400 team was disqualified and Liberty lost by one point. The Lady Flames turned in great performances at the Big South Indoor and Outdoor Championships, as they won by 11 points during indoors and nine points during the outdoor championships over a favored Coastal Carolina squad, extending their Big South outdoor string to a record 10 straight championships The Liberty men s team answered the Big South controversy of the previous year by taking the indoor championship by over 60 points and the outdoor by nearly 50. The Lady Flames 10-year streak was ended by a strong Coastal Carolina team that bettered Liberty by 50 points indoors but then battled to a close victory outdoors. Dani McNaney led the ladies, claiming her first ECAC title in the pentathlon while Chad Wilson led the men winning the IC4A long jump with an outstanding Both represented Liberty at nationals. Heather (Sagan) Zealand runs at the 2002 NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships, where she went on to win the national title in the mile. 41

4 Chronology 2009 Season 2005 Senior, Dani McNaney, and junior, Kena Butts, gave the Lady Flames national exposure while freshmen, Josh McDougal and Brandon Hoskins did the same for the men. McDougal (3,000 meters) and Hoskins (heptathlon) became the first Liberty athletes to earn All America honors as freshmen, while McNaney earned her second Academic All-America honor and Butts qualified for nationals in the high jump, both indoors and outdoors. Mc- Naney won all her multi-event competitions up to nationals. This included the ECAC pentathlon and heptathlon and the Penn Relays in a conference record of 5,504 points. She placed 11th at both NCAA and USA nationals. The Liberty ladies stole the indoor conference championship from Coastal, taking victory by only 3.5 points. The men continued their string of indoor and outdoor conference championships and got IC4A champions in McDougal (3,000 meters indoors) and Hoskins (decathlon) Sophomore Josh McDougal enjoyed a banner year, becoming the first athlete in either Liberty or Big South Conference history to record a triple crown of All-America honors Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Head Coach Brant Tolsma, his wife, Nancy, and Vice Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. cut the ribbon to open the Tolsma Indoor Track Center on Jan. 28, in the same academic year. McDougal placed fourth in the NCAA National Cross Country Championship. He then took fourth at 5,000 meters and fifth at 3,000 meters at the national indoor meet before earning his fourth All- America distinction of the year with a ninth-place finish in the 5,000 meters at the outdoor championships. Also the IC4A 3,000-meter champion indoors and the 10,000-meter champion outdoors, McDougal became the first Liberty male track and field athlete to win the Big South s Howard Bagwell Male Student-Athlete of the Year award. McDougal helped the men s indoor track and field team capture its ninth-consecutive Big South title. Brandon Hoskins also qualified for the NCAA National Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the decathlon. The Lady Flames finished second at both the indoor and outdoor conference meets. Leading the way was junior Arlene Zelinskas, who was named the Big South Indoor Track and Field Women s Outstanding Track Performer of the Year, after winning the 60-meter hurdles and pentathlon and setting conference meet records in both disciplines was a year of conference championships for the Liberty men s team, as the Flames completed their first Big South Triple Crown since the academic year, sweeping the cross country, indoor track and outdoor track team titles. The Big South indoor track crown was the 50th conference championship captured by the Liberty men s and women s cross country and track teams, since joining the Big South in The Flames also won their second IC4A outdoor title and first since 1996, led by an unprecedented 1,500, 5K, 10K sweep by junior Josh McDougal. It was one of many noteworthy feats by McDougal during the year, as he added five more All- America certificates to his total (cross country, indoor 3K and 5K, outdoor 5K and 10k). McDougal also ran a 3:57.46 mile and became the fifth-fastest collegiate 5K runner of all-time, running a 13:20.43 at the Mt. SAC Relays. Brandon Hoskins garnered his second career All-America mention, taking seventh in the decathlon at the NCAA national meet. Juniors Jon Hart (hammer) and Clendon Henderson (discus) became the first two Liberty throwers ever to reach the national meet. On the women s side, the Lady Flames won the Big South cross country and outdoor track titles, both of which snapped Coastal Carolina s streaks of conference championships. The squad was led by senior multievent athlete Arlene Zelinskas, who received numerous honors. The co-big South Women s Track Performer of the Year indoors, she was tabbed Big South Woman of the Year and was an Academic All-American. Junior Carol Jefferson made her first national appearance, running the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships The Liberty men s squad continued its dominance of the Big South Conference in 2008, capturing another Triple Crown of conference titles in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track. The Flames also enjoyed another year of success in the IC4A, successfully defending their team championship outdoors and posting the highest indoor IC4A finish in program history (second place). At the NCAA Division I East Regional Championships, the Flames finished seventh, representing Liberty s highest-ever regional placing. The Flames team success was spearheaded by a powerful senior class, led by Jon Hart, Clendon Henderson, Brandon Hoskins and Josh McDougal. McDougal posted the crowning achievement of his stellar four-year career on Nov. 19, 2007, when he won the NCAA Division I Na- 42 Flames - 25 Big South Championships & 3 IC4A Titles

Henderson placed third in the discus at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships, becoming the first Liberty thrower ever to garner All-American recognition. The Lady Flames held off Coastal Carolina to win their second consecutive Big South cross country title, paced by conference runner-up Piper Newby and Big South Freshman of the Year Dacia Bushman.

16 Track Facilities 2009 Season Tolsma Indoor Track Center The Tolsma Indoor Track Center, located within Liberty s Campus North building, is a recent addition to the Flames track & field program. The facility, dedicated prior to the On Track Open meet on Jan. 28, 2006, is named for current Liberty head track & field/cross country coach Brant Tolsma. Tolsma is in his 23rd season at Liberty and has won 39 Big South Coach of the Year awards. The facility features a flat 200-meter oval with a Mondo surface. The track includes four lanes around the curves and an eight-lane straightaway. Also located in the complex are a pair of long jump/triple jump runways, a pole vault runway, a high jump apron and a throwing circle. It has seating for approximately 1,000 spectators. One of only five collegiate indoor track facilities in the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Tolsma Indoor Track Center gets ample use each winter. Liberty hosts numerous collegiate and high school meets annually, including the Virginia Class AA state meet. A world record was set at one of the Tolsma Indoor Track Center s first meets, the Liberty Last Chance on Feb. 18, Alisa Harvey ran the mile in 4:50.95 to set a world masters (age 40 and over) record. The Matthes-Hopkins Track Complex, Liberty s oncampus outdoor track & field facility, was completed in 1989, the first year the Flames competed at the NCAA Division I level. Located adjacent to Williams Stadium, the complex is named for the founder of the Liberty track & field program, Jake Matthes, and Liberty s first women s track coach, Ron Hopkins. The facility includes an eight-lane, 400-meter polyurethane track as well as four long jump/triple jump pits, three pole vault runways, a high jump apron, two javelin runways, two shot put rings and a new hammer/discus cage. Located on the hill overlooking the south end of the track, the hammer/discus throwing area was completed in time for the 2007 season. Six of the 16 Big South Men s and Women s Outdoor Track & Field Championships have been held at the Matthes-Hopkins Track Complex, including the inaugural event in The Flames and Lady Flames have swept the conference team titles all six times they have hosted the event, most recently in The facility also regularly plays host to high school championship meets. One of the most memorable moments in facility history came on March 31, 2007, when Liberty s own Josh McDougal ran a 3:57.46 mile, cracking the 4:00 barrier for the first time.
