WHY THE “VANDALS”?One of the most unique handles in sports,

“Vandals” has been the nickname for University of Idaho athletic teams for more than 80 years. Area sportswriters coined the name as they tried to describe the tenacity with which coach Hec Edmundson’s basketball teams played defense. It fi rst was used in 1918 strictly for the men’s basketball team and offi cially adopted for all teams in 1921.

The sports editor of the school newspaper, Lloyd “Jazz” McCarty, along with the dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Edward Maslin Hulme, made the fi nal push for the nickname to be adopted, both as a tribute to the intensity of the athletic teams and to the Norsemen of old.

One of the advantages of starting a swimming and diving program at the University of Idaho was the school’s swimming facilities received instant upgrades.

Since the program was reinstated in 2004, the university has spent nearly $2.2 million renovating the University of Idaho Swim and Dive Center.

The Center features two 25-yard pools. A four-lane shallow pool on the west end serves as an ideal warm-up pool and is used for community swimming lessons and university swimming courses.

An eight-lane all-deep water pool is directly to the side of the shallow one. The pool is all deep water and sits below the seating gallery.

The pool is the team’s primary practice and competition pool and accommodates both swimming and diving events at home meets.

In addition to the pool complex, the Vandals have a dryland training center for their divers and their locker room has been completely remodeled.

Head coach Tom Jager calls the University of Idaho Swim and Dive Center, with a 550-seat capacity, one of the best home sites in the WAC.

“It’s a great college venue,” Jager said. “It’s got great seating and it’s all deep water.”

The Center’s air and water fi ltration systems received massive upgrades prior to the team’s fi rst season. The starting blocks were replaced during that renovation and in 2008, two diving boards were added to accommodate the team’s new diving program.

The locker rooms were renovated in 2009.

The Vandals aren’t the only ones to enjoy the Center’s recent upgrades.

The pool accomm-odates 1,200 users a week, including university students and employees and Moscow community members.

University of Idaho swimming and diving coach Tom Jager calls himself a pretty simple person who doesn’t like to complicate things.

His formula for building a swimming and diving team at Idaho from the ground up was simple: honesty plus respect plus punctionality equals integrity.

Jager laid the foundation with these four values when he went to work to rebuild the program in 2004, which ended the sport’s 19-year dry spell at Idaho.

Jager’s number one goal for his student-athletes is graduation.“Kids who swim for me for four years and graduate, they are prepared for challenges

in everyday life,” Jager said. “If I can do that, I’m successful in what I do. We’re in higher education, I take that seriously. Graduation is more important than winning.”

Jager is a 1987 graduate of UCLA. He said graduating from UCLA was harder than winning an Olympic gold medal. Jager would know. By the time he graduated, he had won two Olympic gold medals in the 1984 Olympics and 12 NCAA championships, which includes fi ve individual ones.

Jager added to his Olympic medal count with two golds and one bronze in the 1988 Olympics and one gold and one bronze at the 1992 Games, to make him one of only two swimmers to swim in three Olympics. He won 11 U.S. national titles, was the captain of the U.S. swim team and held the 50-yard freestyle world record for more than 16 years — which includes a 10-year span from 1989-2000.

Moving from the water to the pool deck was a natural career move for Jager.“I wouldn’t know what to do with myself if I wasn’t at the pool from 3:30-5:30, it’s all I’ve

done my whole life,” he said.Jager said the hardest adjustment was learning to be accountable for 25 other people as

opposed to just himself in the pool.Jager said after being selfi sh in the pool his whole career, the selfl essness needed to

coach is a good balance.Jager’s selfl essness work hasn’t gone unnoticed.“Tom continues to be a tremendous member of our athletic department,” director of

athletics Rob Spear said. “I appreciate his approach to developing the ‘total student-athlete,’ by maintaining an academic focus, maximizing their athletic abilities, and communicating the importance of their civic responsibilities.”

Just as Jager expects his athletes to succeed in and out of the pool, Jager himself has succeeded away from the pool deck at the University of Idaho. Jager was named Idaho’s Outstanding Employee in 2007 for his work ethic, leadership and the example he sets for the

university.Jager is a member of the International Swimming Hall of Fame, the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame

and the USA Swim Team of the Century. Jager and his wife, Becky, have two sons, Wyatt and Cy. Becky is a University of Idaho history instructor and a volunteer assistant coach for the swim team.

Assistant coach ADRIANA QUIRKE

University of Idaho (2007), fourth season

Fourth-year assistant coach Quirke is no stranger to the University of Idaho swimming and diving team or head coach Tom Jager.

As a girl, she had a poster of the seven-time Olympic medalist, who is now her boss, on her wall.

After a one-year stint at San Diego State University, Quirke transferred to Idaho where she was part of his initial recruiting class in 2004.

As a Vandal, Quirke set the school 200 IM record and 13 all-time top-10 marks in four events. She won the team’s Vandal Zone Award as a senior, the team’s only award, which is given to the athlete who performs well in the pool, has a positive impact on the team, does well in school and conducts herself well in everyday life.

She left a mark on the program as an athlete she hopes to continue as the program’s fi rst fulltime assistant coach. “I believe she epitomized Vandal swimming as an athlete and will continue to do so as a coach,” Jager said.Quirke was hired in 2007, shortly after graduating from Idaho with a bachelor’s degree in sports science.

Jager, who holds a PhD. in history, joined the Vandal

staff as a volunteer assistant when her husband, Tom, was hired to bring

the program back after a 20-year hiatus. A graduate of the University

of New Mexico (1998), she stopped swimming competitively in high

school when she chose to attend college on an academic scholarship.

But she didn’t leave swimming. She began a coaching career that includes swimmers of all levels –

beginners to Olympic champion and husband Tom.

She also teaches history at the University of Idaho.

Harris joined the Idaho staff in the fall of 2010 as a

volunteer assistant as he pursues his masters degree in fi sheries

resources. He is a graduate of the University of Missouri and is a native of Greenville, Ill. At Missouri, he was

a four-year letterman and an Olympic Trials qualifi er. He not only was a

conference fi nalist multiple times in the Big 12 but he was recognized on

the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll, Big 12 Academic fi rst team and the Dean’s Honor Roll. He has been

coaching since he was 18 (for Stroke Tech in Illinois) and is an avid sailor

and sailing coach.

Ray joined the Vandals in the

winter of 2010-11. He came to Idaho after a two-year stint as diving coach at Bridgman

(Mich.) High School. Prior to coaching at Bridgman, he spent

three years coaching strength and conditioning in the Toronto Blue Jays

organization. He is a graduate of Western Kentucky University where

he was a four-year letterman. He fi nished third in the IM in the 2005

Sun Belt Conference Championships and was second the previous year in the Missouri Valley Conference

Championships. He is a native of St. Joseph, Mich.

When women’s swimming was reinstated at the University of

Idaho in 2004, head coach Tom Jager took over a program that hadn’t seen the water for 19 years but wasn’t dry on tradition. The original program, which lasted from 1973-85, set the standard for women’s swimming at the University of Idaho. At least one Vandal competed or qualifi ed to participate at nationals every season during that period — a span that includes 1973, the year Idaho played host to the meet. Nancy Westermeyer Monroe was the fi rst great Idaho swimmer. She came to Idaho in 1972 and practiced with the men’s team and competed in competitions around the Northwest. Monroe, a freestyle and butterfl y competitor, was the fi rst Vandal to qualify for the AIAW National Swimming and Diving Championships for four years. Unfortunately, Monroe, and three teammates, were unable to compete in the 1975 championships because of funding issues. Another Nancy soon joined the ranks as an elite Idaho swimmer, if not perhaps the greatest in the school’s history. Nancy Bechtholdt Koch swam for the Vandals from 1979-82. Koch not only qualifi ed for nationals four times, she brought home eight individual national championships and set several national records. She was a 24-time All-American, and was a member of a relay team with Kris Ablin, Linda DeMeyer, Nancy Rand and Kathy Schmahl that earned the school’s fi rst All-American honors when she was a freshman. Bechtholdt was chosen the Idaho Female Athlete of the Year for the 1979 season and still holds two Idaho school records. Her 500-yard freestyle record is six seconds better than the school’s next best. Her 1,650-yard freestyle school record is more than 11 seconds faster than any other Vandal’s effort. And it wasn’t until last season that a Vandal eclipsed her 1000 free record, which had been in place since 1981. From 1981-84, three other swimmers also qualifi ed for nationals four years in a row. Anne Kincheloe (breaststroke), Kate Kemp (freestyle), and Sarah Osborne (backstroke),

accomplished the feat. Idaho’s greatest success came from 1981-82, when the careers of these swimmers overlapped Bechtholdt’s junior and senior seasons. The team fi nished fi fth in 1981 at nationals and seventh in 1982. Koch led the way for the school’s highest national team fi nish by winning the 100- and 200-yard freestyle, placing second in the 500-yard freestyle and third in the 1,650-yard freestyle. She was on the 800-yard freestyle relay team that fi nished second and the 400-yard medley relay team that fi nished fourth. Osborne fi nished 12th in the 50- and 200-yard backstroke events. Bechtholdt won her fourth 200-yard freestyle title at the 1982

championship. She also won the 1,650-yard freestyle, was fourth in the 100-yard freestyle and placed on three relays. Kincheloe fi nished fi fth in the 50-yard breaststroke, sixth in the 100-yard breaststroke and eighth in the 200-yard breaststroke. The Vandals fi nished 22nd at nationals in 1985, the team’s last season of the 20th century. Four Vandals earned All-American honors and two set school records at the meet. Charene Mitchell set the 400 individual medley school record and Jennifer Hunkele set the three-meter diving school record, which still stands today. The swimming team returned to competition during the 2004 season. Director of Athletics Rob Spear chose Jager, a fi ve-time Olympic champion, to rebuild the program. His swimmers quickly went to work rewriting the school’s record books as only nine names from the original era can now be found on Idaho’s all-time top-10 list and only Bechtholdt’s records still stand at the top. Idaho moved from the Big West to the Western Athletic Conference in the team’s second season. In 2006, JoJo Miller won the school’s fi rst WAC title in the 100-meter breaststroke. Miller holds the school record in the event and all but one spot on Idaho’s all-time top-10 list for the 200 -meter breaststroke. In 2008, a year ahead of schedule, Idaho completed the program’s resurrection with the addition of a diving program. Idaho was the only team in the Western Athletic Conference without a diving team, which placed the Vandals at a disadvantage in head-to-head meets and limited the team’s placing at the WAC championships. In just the third meet of the 2008 season, Amanda Morrow broke Hunkele’s one-meter springboard record – a mark that since has given way to Paige Hunt. With improved facilities, the addition of a diving team and Jager’s Olympic-sized work ethic, the current Vandals have the foundation set in place to match the greatness of former Idaho swimming and diving teams.

Nancy Bechtholdt Koch swam for the Vandals from 1979-1982. Koch not only qualifi ed for nationals four times, she brought home eight indi-vidual national championships and set several national records.

She was a 24-time All-American, Idaho’s Female Athlete of the Year for the 1979 season and still holds three Idaho school records.

Her 500-yard freestyle record is nearly eight seconds better than the school’s next best. Her 1,000-yard freestyle time is three seconds faster than anyone else has swam at Idaho and her 1,650-yard freestyle school record is nearly 20 seconds faster than any other Vandal’s effort.

Koch still holds all-time top-10 times in the 100 and 200-yard freestyle.

Behind Koch, Idaho fi nished fi fth in 1981 at nationals and seventh in 1982.

Koch led the way for the school’s highest national team fi nish by winning the 100- and 200-yard freestyle, placing second in the 500-yard freestyle and third in the 1,650-yard freestyle. She was on the 800-yard freestyle relay team that placed second and 400-yard medley relay team that fi nished fourth.

Koch won her fourth 200-yard freestyle title at the 1982 championship. She also won the 1,650-yard freestyle, placed fourth in the 100-yard freestyle and placed on three relays.

Nancy Westernmeyer Monroe was a four-time AIAW national qualifi er for the Idaho women’s swimming and diving team from 1971-75. She was the fi rst four-time AIAW qualifi er in Idaho wom-en’s swimming history.

She specialized in the free-style and butterfl y events and left the school holding team records in both. It was the success of Monroe and her early teammates that helped put Idaho on the map in women’s swimming in the Northwest and the nation and led to Idaho serving as host to the AIAW National Meet in 1973.

She was chosen the Vandals’ Most Inspirational Swimmer for four successive seasons – 1972-75, and was the Most Outstand-ing Swimmer in 1972, 1974 and 1975.

She was in the fi rst class of female student-athletes at the University of Idaho. She earned her fi rst scholarship in 1972. The total award – $175.

The student-athletes were encouraged to compete in more than one sport so she added vol-leyball to her repertoire.

SWIMMING AND DIVING HISTORY • LEGENDS

When the Vandal Athletics Hall of Fame opened in 2007, Idaho swimming and diving was well represented as Idaho greats Nancy Westermeyer Monroe and Nancy Bechtholdt Koch

were among the charter mem-bers. Together, Wesermeyer Monoe and Bechtholdt Koch

set the standard for all future Vandals swimmers.

M. Duane Nellis is the University of Idaho’s 17th president.

He provides robust and engaging leadership for the University of Idaho by supporting its statewide land-grant mission of teach-ing, research and outreach. He also is guiding the institution to re-envision that mission for the 21st century by focusing on en-trepreneurialism, engagement, global connections, sustainability, diversity and interdisciplinary synergies.

Prior to and since his inauguration in October 2009, Nellis has engaged the state of Idaho to deepen the land-grant University’s presence and impact. His presidency is defi ned by that outreach, a characteristic that began when he became president and im-mediately embarked on a statewide listening tour – meeting more than 1,500 people along a 1,500-mile travel route. He is committed to maintaining and growing connections and relation-ships with stakeholders and decision-makers.

Nellis has served with distinction in various regional and national leadership positions. He is a commissioner for the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities and was appointed by Idaho Gov. C.L. ‘Butch’ Otter to serve on the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. He served as president of the Association of American Geographers, one of the largest professional geography organizations in the world. He is also past president of the National Council for Geographic Education; past president of Gamma Theta Upsilon, the International Geographic Honor Society, and he served as one of 10 members of the National Council of Colleges of Arts and Sciences Research Universities Committee.

Nellis is recognized nationally and internationally for his research utilizing satellite data and geographic information systems to analyze various dimensions of the earth’s land surface.

He is recognized for his research and teaching through numerous awards, such as receiving national honors from the Association of American Geographers in 2001, the AAG’s John Fraser Hart Award for Excellence in Research, and the Outstanding Contributions Award by the AAG’s Remote Sensing Specialty Group.

Prior to his appointment at Idaho, Nellis served as provost and se-nior vice president of Kansas State University and at West Virginia University as dean of the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences, WVU’s largest academic college.

A native of the Northwest, he met and married his wife, Ruthie, while pursuing his bachelor’s degree in earth sciences at Montana State University. He earned his master’s and doctoral degrees in geography at Oregon State University.

Rob Spear assumed the lead of the University of Idaho ath-letic department during a crucial juncture in its storied history.

The Vandals were seeking solidifi cation of their conference status and their facilities were in need of modernization. They needed a leader with vision and passion. Spear fi t the bill.

First was securing a home in the Western Athletic Confer-ence, a league that preserves historic rivalries and offers the benefi ts of a Division I association. Next was rebuilding the Vandals’ home. He was on hand to oversee the fi nal stages of the construction of the Iverson Speed and Strength Center. Next were the playing surfaces – inside and out. The Vandals now have a SprinTurf practice facility outdoors and RealGrass Pro inside the Kibbie Dome. The football, men’s and women’s basketball, and swimming locker rooms were renovated into modern, stylish facilities for the student-athletes.

Last fall, the athletic training and equipment rooms were renovated and state-of-the-art classrooms and meeting rooms came on line as part of a multi-million dollar facelift for the Kibbie Dome. Last fall, the fi rst phase of a new-look Kibbie Dome debuted when the plywood on the west end wall was replaced with translucent panels. When the Vandals kickoff in 2011, not only will the east wall match the west but there will be a new club area with suites, loge boxes and a clubroom as well as premium seating and a new press box.

Facilities are but one area where Spear has moved the department forward. He added to the support services staff to enhance the student-athlete experience. Computer labs and academic support staff are cornerstones of a successful department and the additions and upgrades in those areas are paying dividends. In the fall of 2007, the Idaho Athletics Hall of Fame was established with 100 individuals and fi ve teams being inducted over a two-year period as part of the inaugural class.

His involvement isn’t limited to the Idaho campus. He began a second term with the NCAA’s ‘Legislative Council – one of two top-tier governing bodies in the organization.

“I am honored and excited to represent the Western Athletic Conference on this governing board,” Spear said at the time of his appointment. “It is a tremendous opportunity to make an impact on future NCAA legislation to ensure we con-tinue to provide the best possible service to the student-athlete.”

Spear’s ties with athletics are life-long. He was a standout high school athlete in his native Butte, Mont., before mov-ing on to letter four times at the University of Great Falls. Next was a two-year professional basketball career with the Montana Golden Nuggets, at the time coached by George Karl.

He earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Great Falls in 1980 and his MBA from the University of Mon-tana in 1983. He accepted a position as an internal auditor with the University of Idaho in 1989. While working at Idaho, he also pursued his doctorate in education, which he completed in 1993.

Prior to his appointment as director of athletics in 2003, Spear was the interim assistant fi nancial vice president. He also spent time at Idaho as the Assistant Vice President for Outreach in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences and in grants contracts.

He and his wife, Sandy, have one daughter, Morgan – a junior at Idaho.

THE

A LEGACY OF LEADING

The University of Idaho opened its doors on Oct. 3, 1892, when it welcomed about 40 students and one professor, John Edwin Ostrander.

On June 11, 1896, the university graduated its fi rst class when four students marched across a stage to receive their diplomas. Two years later, the university awarded its fi rst graduate degree. By 1899, a growing body of University of Idaho alumni formed the Idaho Alumni Association.

Alumni numbers weren’t all that grew in those early days. Over the next few years, the University of Idaho established its College of Agriculture, dedicated Riden-baugh Hall and established the Pacifi c Northwest’s fi rst Department of Domestic Science (later to be called Home Economics).

The Administration Building fi re in 1906 was a turn-ing point in the university’s history. John Tourtellotte, a Boise architect who had designed the state’s capitol,

designed a new Tudor Goth-ic structure to symbolize the university’s growth and ma-turity as a major institution of higher education.

The Administration Build-ing remains the centerpiece of campus.

Park, led to the small-town New England look of the campus.

President Theodore Roosevelt was the fi rst U.S. president to visit the campus in 1911. He planted the fi rst tree in Presidential Grove.

Through the next 50 years, the campus continued to grow in size and academic offer-ings. Among the additions were Forney Hall, the School of Education, Science Hall, Hays Hall, the Music Building, the Library, the Student Union and outreach campus loca-tions.

In 1976 the new ASUI-Kibbie Dome won a national en-gineering structural achievement award. Its sound struc-ture has withstood roaring cheers of Vandal fans (as well as the groans and wailings of rival teams) ever since.

Today, the university is home to nearly 12,000 students and nearly 1,300 faculty and staff. It continues to be a leading place of learning in Idaho and the West, because although it is ever-responsive to the changing needs of its students and society, it never forgets its roots and traditions.

Perhaps no better example of this distinct combination of rich history and innovative ser-vice is the Associated Students of the University of Idaho (ASUI). Today as vibrant as ever, ASUI has been a force on campus for more than 100 years.

Moscow is the perfect ex-ample of the old adage: Don’t judge a book by its cover.

Small though it may be, Moscow has plenty to offer.

More than 130 years after it was settled, Moscow is a small yet vibrant community with a penchant for the arts and the University of Idaho.

Every year people come from around the world to take part in events such as the Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival or the Re-naissance Fair. So much so, the city was named one of the top 100 small art towns in America.

The city’s 22,000 residents are a bright and diverse group of people. The city offers many of the advantages of a big city while retaining its small town friendliness. Crime in Moscow is almost non-existent.

For entertainment, choices abound whether they be indoor or out.

MOSCOW IS:• One of the top 100 Small Arts Towns• Host of the Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival• Largest of the 27 Moscows in the United States• A U.S. Small Arts Center• A “Gem Community”

MOSCOW MISCELLANEOUSLocated in Latah CountySettled in 1871Elevation: 2,583Land area: 6.2 square milesNearest city with population of 100,000 or more: Spokane, Wash. (84 miles)Nearest city with population of 1 million or more: Seattle, Wash. (298 miles)

Outdoor lovers might be-lieve they’ve landed in para-dise. Since Moscow is nestled between the rolling hills of the Palouse on one side and Moscow Mountain on the other, opportunities abound

for outdoor entertain-ment. Camping, skiing, snowmobiling, hunting and fi shing locales can all be found within a few short miles from town.

If you’re the sort who prefers more urban forms of entertainment Mos-cow offers a broad as-sortment of activities typical of a small town infl uenced largely by its

resident university. Add to those, a variety of theatrical presentations and concerts on the Idaho campus, and just about every choice of entertainment can be found.

At 2,500 feet above sea level, Moscow has a mild climate despite it being located in the northern United States. Tem-peratures rarely drop below 24 degrees during the winter and the summer months won’t get much hotter than 87 degrees for a pleasant year-round climate. d a dd clc imimaate.e.e. eegrgrrgrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssss s fffofoffffor r aa pleasasanttttt yeadee ar-r-roror unnddindoooooro ooooor outt..

Idaho was settled during the gold rush of the 1800s. Veins of silver and gold were found in the mountains of central Idaho and it wasn’t long before thousands of pioneers had settled all over the territory in an attempt to get rich. As the pioneers mined for gold, they happened upon a pleasant sur-prise. In addition to the silver and gold, Idaho was abundant in gems such as topaz and jade. Hence Idaho’s nickname: the Gem State. Idaho is one of the most scenic states in the nation. It holds claim to numerous world famous sites. Here are just a few of the many wonders Idaho offers.

• Hells Canyon, the deepest river gorge in the U.S. – 8,000 feet deep at some points. • Shoshone Falls (36 feet taller than Niagara falls)

• Soda Springs (largest man-made geyser)• The Sawtooth Mountains in central Idaho

• The world famous Lava Hot Springs• The “Craters of the Moon” in south-central Idaho

• Sun Valley Resort, where the movie stars play• Coeur d’Alene, playground of the Pacifi c Northwest• Bruneau Dunes, the largest sand dunes in North AmericaGeographically, Idaho is one of the most diverse in the country. From the rolling

deserts of southern Idaho and the forested mountains of central Idaho to the roll-ing plains of the Palouse, this state has it all. If you’re into river rafting, Idaho has

the Salmon River, nicknamed “The River of No Return.” If you like water sports, Idaho has more than 2,000 lakes with names, and many more without. One of the most famous is Pend Oreille, which is more than 1,100 feet deep in some parts. The Navy has tested some of its submarines at Lake Pend Oreille.

Idaho is an outdoorsman’s dream come true. The state offers thousands of miles of trails for backpackers. Hunting and fi shing

locales are abundant all over the state. Idaho is home to part of the famous Lewis and Clark Trail. You can learn fi rst-hand how the expedition was saved from cer-tain starvation by the Nez Perce Indian tribe. Idaho is the 13th largest state in the nation, but is sparsely popu-lated with 1.3 million residents. The benefi t of this is low crime rates and a healthy lifestyle. Last but certainly not least, Idaho indeed does have great pota-toes. In 1937, the Idaho Potato Commission was formed. The state-run agency’s responsibilities include researching and expand-ing the Idaho potato market.

Head Athletic Trainer Barrie Steele

MISSION STATEMENTThe University of Idaho’s commitment to its student-athletes can be seen in the con-

tinuing enhancement and growth of its athletic training, and strength and conditioning services. With the number one goal being prevention, Idaho athlete services provides not only strength and conditioning, and preventative athletic training measures, but coordinates with sports nutritionists and sports psychologists for the overall well-being of Vandal student-athletes.

“We approach our jobs fi rst from a prevention standpoint,” head athletic trainer Bar-rie Steele said. “But, injuries do occur in athletics and when they do we make sure our student-athletes receive the fi nest in immediate and follow-up care. When they return to competition, our goal is to have them in better condition than before the injury and with a reduced chance of re-injury.”

In its 49th year, the Western Athletic Conference con-tinues to evolve and features some of the nation’s best intercollegiate competition. One thing that remains unchanged is the persistent nature of the schools in the WAC to advance their programs to compete at the top levels of the NCAA.

The WAC provides its student-athletes the chance to travel to scenic destinations and gain exposure in some of the nation’s most di-verse markets. In addi-tion, the WAC’s student-athletes work to achieve the highest levels of success with the academic support of their respective institutions.

The WAC is the sixth oldest among the nation’s 11 Division I-A confer-ences. Its history traces back to July 27, 1962, when the original six-team league of Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming began competition.

The fi rst championship was in No-vember 1962, when Arizona won the men’s cross country title and New Mexico followed with the fi rst WAC football title. Arizona fi nished second in the NCAA College World Series and, less than three years later, Arizona State claimed the league’s fi rst NCAA title when the Sun Devils won the

College World Series trophy. Fresno State was the last WAC school to earn an NCAA team title when it won the

College World Series in 2008.

The WAC has had just fi ve commissioners in its history. Paul Brechler was named the fi rst leader of the confer-

ence and held the posi-tion from 1962-1968.

He was followed by Wiles Hallock (1968-71), Stan Bates (1971-80), Dr. Joe Kearney (1980-94) and

Karl Benson (1994-pres-ent).

Presently, the WAC crowns team and indi-

vidual champions in 19 sports – eight men’s and 11 women’s. For the men, there are championships in baseball,

basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, indoor track and fi eld, and

outdoor track and fi eld. Champion-ships for women are held in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis,

indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track and fi eld and volleyball.

The WAC offi ce has been located in the Denver area since the conference’s

inception with the exception of a two-year stay in Phoenix from 1964-66.
