The Frostburg State University men’s and women’s cross country

teams look to improve on their conference finish as they enter their

second campaign in the Capital Athletic Conference . Last season, the

men finished sixth while the women took home fourth place .

On the men’s side, the Bobcats return their top-two runners from last

season, sophomore Pat Meade (Woodbine, Md./Century) and senior

Jesse Henderson (Taneytown, Md./Francis Scott Key) .

Henderson led the Bobcats at the NCAA Mideast Regional last

season after running a 28:17 . He also led the Bobcats at the Carnegie

Mellon Mideast Regional Preview (27:47), and the Gettysburg College

Invitational (28:04 .92) .

Meade steadily improved throughout the season and capped an

impressive freshman season after finishing 21st (26:59) at the Capital

Athletic Conference Championships . Meade ran strong races at the

Don Cathcart Invite, (61st, 27:28) and the Elizabethtown College 6k (22nd, 20:19) .

“Pat Mead ran a pretty good race there (CAC Championships) . We were without two of our top three runners at conference last

year,” said head coach Dale Luy .

Coach Luy also pointed out that getting healthy and remaining healthy will be a key to this season, as the men’s roster is thin

coming into the season .

The team welcomes back junior Gavin Caupp (Frostburg, Md./Mountain Ridge) who after two races last season suffered a

season-ending injury and received a medical redshirt . Caupp earned all-conference honors in his first two seasons on the squad

and was the team’s best finisher at both the Shippensburg Invitational and the Dickinson Invite .

“He was running very well at the beginning of last year, but then he was injured . Gavin has already demonstrated that he is

one of the better runners in the conference and Pat is capable of being right there with him,” Luy added .

Also returning to the team after missing much of the cross country season is senior Wes Jacobs (Baltimore, Md./Aberdeen) .

Jacobs competed in only three races in the fall, but had a very successful track season . At the ECAC Championships, Jacobs

finished seventh and missed provisionally qualifying for the NCAA Division III Outdoor National Championships by .06 seconds .

Luy has high expectations for these runners coming into the season and expects big things from his top returners . “Our top four

could do very well in conference if they run to their potential .”

Trying to crack the rotation for the Bobcats top five will be senior Sean Wright (Aberdeen, Md./Aberdeen), junior Miguel

Montano (Hagerstown, Md./North Hagerstown), and sophomores Anthony Schilling (Denton, Md./North Caroline) and Eric

Williams (Aberdeen, Md./Aberdeen) .

Wright was a steady competitor last season and ran his best race at Elizabethtown . He finished with a season-best time of

23:21 . Montano progressed as the season went along in 2010 finished the season strong at the CAC Championships .

Schilling and Williams had strong track seasons that they look to carry over to cross country this fall . Williams had a fifth place

finish at the CAC Championships in the 800-meter run and qualified for the ECAC Championship as a member of the 4x400-meter

relay . Schilling meanwhile, had two top-ten finishes in the 800-meters during the indoor season .

The women’s roster includes three returners and they are led by senior Anne Patron (Baltimore, Md./Dulaney) . Patron had

four top-ten finishes last season, highlighted by a third-place finish (22:50) at the CAC Championships . Patron is a three-time all-

conference performer and one of the top runners in the Mid-east region .

The two other returners are senior Kimmie Adams (Hagerstown, Md./South Hagerstown/HCC) and sophomore Jen Bower

(Bel Air, Md./C. Milton Wright) who have been vital to the team success . “Kimmie Adams and Jen Bower are both very dedicated

runners and have contributed a lot to building the team concept, which we really needed,” said Luy .

Adams ran her best time of the season at the CAC Championships (25:49) and made great strides throughout the year, while

Bower steadily improved throughout her freshman season and finished 48th at the CAC Championships .

Two freshman have been added to the women’s roster this season, Bryn Allston (Waldorf, Md./North Point) and Gabby

Maher (Frederick, Md./Frederick) .

Coach Luy likes what he sees from the freshmen in the pre-season . “It’s going take them a little while to adjust to collegiate

cross country, but they’re definitely going to be good runners and make us a stronger team .”

The Bobcats open their schedule September 3 at Shippensburg followed by trips to York College of Pennsylvania and the

Dickinson Invitational . October brings the heart of the team’s schedule with dates at DeSales University and Gettysburg .

At the end of the month the team has their eyes focused on the CAC Championships . “Right now, our goal at this stage is to

get better every week . Normally, we focus on the end of the year meets, the championship meets, and that may be true this year

more than ever .”

beautiful acres .

Opened in 1902 as State Normal School No . 2, the University owes its existence to the tenacity of J . Benson Oder, editor

of the Frostburg Mining Journal, and the citizens of Frostburg who, in spite of political barriers, raised funds and purchased

the site on which “Old Main,” the University’s first building, is located .

Principal Edmund Dandridge Murdaugh and three faculty instructed the first Normal School class; in addition, the other

faculty taught 151 children in the Model School . The Normal School students, who were high school students having to

meet no requirements other than age (girls, 16; boys, 17), had but one two-year course of study: elementary education .

The curriculum consisted of Latin, mathematics, history, rhetoric and literature, natural and physical sciences, drawing,

music, calisthenics, psychology, philosophy of education, philosophy of school management, pedagogy, observation,

practice work and primary manual training .

Over the years, the name of the institution has reflected the changes in the scope of its educational mission . In 1935, State

Normal School No . 2 became State Teachers College at Frostburg, a four-year college that offered a Bachelor of Science

in Elementary Education . In 1963, the name became Frostburg State College, and finally in 1987, with the strong support

of the local civic and business community, became Frostburg State University, an indication of its growing resources,

diversity and excellence in educational opportunities for the region and the state .

In 1988, FSU became a constituent institution of the University System of Maryland, comprised of 11 of the state’s 13

public institutions .

Throughout its growth, the University has emphasized excellence in teaching . Over 80 percent of the full-time faculty hold

Ph .D .s or terminal degrees from institutions that are among the most prestigious in the nation . Faculty scholarship has led

to scholarly books, manuals and journals, as well as numerous articles and reviews . This excellence in faculty has

resulted in superior results for students . FSU has been ranked first among its peers for the number of doctorates per 100

baccalaureate degrees awarded . In the same study, FSU was ranked second in the percentage of national, prestigious

awards received by faculty . These have included Fulbrights and significant grants from the National Endowment for the

Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts and other national associations .

At the same time, the University has developed comparable excellence in academic programs, research, consulting,

cultural and athletic events and facilities . In recent years the campus has consistently received a superior rating, the

highest state award given for facilities and maintenance .

Today, the University’s mission and services have expanded significantly . Over 400 full-time administrators and support

staff and more than 200 full-time faculty serve the educational needs of students who come not only from throughout

the United States, but also the world . These students have a choice of over 40 major programs of study leading to the

Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Technical and Professional Studies and Bachelor

of Science in Urban and Regional Planning degrees as well as graduate degrees in applied ecology and conservation

biology, business administration, counseling psychology, education, wildlife/fisheries biology, park and recreation resource

management, teaching and applied computer science . In addition, several pre-professional programs are offered .

Frostburg State University continues its pursuit of excellence, a tradition which now spans over a century .
