2019 OutlookSeason Preview

The 2019 Creighton softball team enters the new year following its best finish since joining the BIG EAST.

The Bluejays ended 2018 with 15 victories during their final 19 games, including a stretch of six consecutive wins before falling during the BIG EAST Championship game in Rosemont, Illinois.

Last season’s squad claimed 12 victories during the BIG EAST regular-season schedule, the most since joining the league in 2014 and achieved its best winning percentage in conference action (.800, 12-3) since 2008.

The Bluejays set program bests for team slugging percentage (.477) and on-base percentage (.409), while achieving a .316 batting average, the best mark in head coach Brent Vigness’ tenure at Creighton and second-best in school history. The Bluejays earned 28 victories, the most since 2014.

Creighton returns five position players that started at least half of last season’s games, and two pitchers that started a combined 32 games. The Bluejays received five first-place votes and 43 points for the top position in the 2019 BIG EAST Preseason Coaches’ Poll.

PitchingKiele Miller returns poised to lead the Bluejay pitching staff after pacing the team with 135.2 innings pitched as a freshman.

The All-BIG EAST Second Team selection posted 147 strikeouts and led the BIG EAST with a 1.42 ERA during league action (59.0 IP).

Logan Black contributed 55.1 innings in the circle during her freshman campaign last year. Black started one game during each conference series and ranked second on the team in overall starts (12) and wins (8).

The Bluejays added Laura Roecker for the new season. Roecker spent three seasons at Nebraska-Omaha and earned Second Team All-Summit League honors in 2016.

Kate Mullally joins the Creighton program from Seward, Nebraska. Mullally helped lead Seward to a runner-up finish at the 2017 Nebraska Class B State Tournament while posting a 2.28 ERA with 175 strikeouts. She ended her high school career as Seward’s career leader in wins (73) and second in strikeouts (614).

InfieldJayci Foster will anchor the Creighton infield after starting 39 games at second base last season. The Papillion, Nebraska native held Creighton’s longest hitting streak at 13 games and ranked second on the team in home runs

with six, including a walk-off homer during extra innings against Providence to kick start the Bluejays’ best BIG EAST run to date.

Junior Kaitlynn Hunt also returns up the middle after making 32 starts at shortstop. She ranked third on the team with 50 assists (one behind Foster) and did not commit an error during conference play.

The corner infield positions are open as four-year starter Tash Coffiel graduated after starting 165 games, primarily at third base, and Hope Moreno transitioned from playing first base in 2018 during her final year of eligibility to an undergraduate student assistant coach position for the 2019 season.

Returners Victoria Alvarez and Kelli Finan each saw time at infield positions, but neither have a starting spot solidified.

Alvarez started four games at third base and seven at shortstop while recording 17 assists and a .367 on-base percentage at the plate.

Finan primarily played in left field (25 starts), but also saw time at first base (seven starts), second base (four starts) and shortstop (two starts). The Long Beach State transfer made an immediate impact during her first season in the Bluejay lineup by leading the team with 36 RBIs and ranking second in slugging percentage (.579).

Freshmen Kailey Wilson, Sam Alm and Kiara Mills will each fight for a starting nod.

Wilson, the 2017 Colorado High School Athletic Association 5A Player of the Year, owns a powerful bat, and will seek the primary first base position.

Alm begins her Creighton career after posting a Nebraska Class A state record for career batting averge (.534) and setting Millard West’s career hit mark with 203. She can play nearly any position across the diamond in both the infield and outfield.

Mills, another utility infielder and former club teammate of Alvarez, helped lead the St. Lucy’s Priory Regents to the 2017 CIF South section semifinals.

OutfieldCreighton’s outfield will be guided by lead-off hitter Ashley Cantu. The 2017 All-BIG EAST selection and 2018 BIG EAST All-Tournament team honoree is the only Bluejay that started all 43 games last season. She led the team in multiple offensive categories and became the eighth player in program history to finish the season with a batting average better than .400 (min. 2 AB/game played). Cantu also finished ninth in Division I with 1.05 runs per game and posted Creighton’s best individual on-base

percentage (.479) since her sister, Alexis, set the school record with a .547 mark in 2012.

After primarily playing in right field each of the past two seasons, Cantu may slide into center for her junior season.

Finan and sophomore Courtney Sandell each started multiple games in the outfield last season for the Bluejays, and fourth-year junior Mileah McKelvy, Southern Utah transfer Nicole Simonson and Alm will each fight for playing time.

Juniors Sydney Jenkins and Kristin Fry and sophomore Jacey Sawyer add depth to the Bluejays outfield, but all three will primarily appear in pinch-running situations. The trio combined for 23 runs as pinch runners in 2018.

Catcher/Designated PlayerAfter spending the past two seasons as Creighton’s second catcher, junior Mikaela Pechar will have her chance as the primary backstop this year. Pechar made 11 starts behind the plate and led the squad with 25 pinch-hit plate appearances last season. She ranked fifth on the team with 22 RBIs a year ago and nine of her 19 hits were of the extra-base variety.

Valentina Bertrand, Hope Bonar and Kiahana Scott will each have opportunities for playing time at catcher, while Hunt may see time behind the plate after primarily playing catcher at Nebraska-Omaha in 2017.

Creighton used eight different players as a starting designated player a year ago, and 2019 may feature a similar variety.

Senior Nikki McNeil, the freshman trio of Wilson, Alm and Mills and McKelvy will each likely appear in the offensive specialist position throughout the season.

Ashley Cantu returns after leading the Bluejays in many offensive categories during 2018, including batting average (.401), on-base percentage (.479), hits (57), runs (45) and walks (22).

“I think the Rasmussen Center is most helpful for us simply because of the size of the facility and the size of our game field. We are able to do things inside that we have not been able to do in years past. We are very thankful and blessed to be able to have a facility like the Rasmussen Center.”

- Head coach Brent Vigness

Rasmussen Fitness & Sports Center The Rasmussen Fitness & Sports Center, a 50,000-square-foot building offering a multipurpose fieldhouse with synthetic turf for athletic team practices and intramural sports, was officially opened on Oct. 23, 2012. In addition to the indoor practice area, the Rasmussen Center offers a suspended two-lane running track and a fitness level furnished with cardio, circuit-training and free-weight equipment for all Creighton students, faculty and staff. Named for McCormick Endowed Athletic Director Bruce Rasmussen, the facility was made possible by generous gifts from Ruth and Bill Scott as well as several other donors. The Scotts have been long-time supporters and friends of Creighton. In 1995 the Scotts established a scholarship for international students who enrolled in the School of Medicine. The Nebraska natives have deep roots in the Omaha community and have donated millions of dollars to more than 100 different organizations. Rasmussen has been with Creighton for 39 years, the last 25 years as athletic director. During his tenure, Creighton’s athletic teams have risen to national prominence both on and off the field. Since Rasmussen assumed the role of athletic director, Creighton has won 38 regular-sea-son and 41 conference tournament titles, which have helped lead to 84 postseason appearances. Creighton was the only school in the history of the Missouri Valley Conference to make 15 straight men’s basketball postseasons, and have made the NCAA Tourney in men’s soccer in 24 of the past 27 years. Creighton’s reputation as one of the nation’s top academic institutions is reflected in the success Bluejay student-athletes have had in the classroom during Rasmussen’s service as athletic director. Creighton’s baseball, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, women’s soccer and men’s and women’s tennis teams all have received national awards for their academic success. Bluejay student-athletes consistently own collective GPAs of 3.25 or above. Rasmussen was inducted into the Omaha Sports Hall of Fame in 2008. A member of the College World Series of Omaha, Inc., Executive Committee, Rasmussen played a vital role in seeing that Creighton and the city of Omaha remain as hosts of the College World Series. Rasmussen also has been a member of the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Selection Committee. The Rasmussen Center serves as the primary practice facility for Creighton softball during the winter months.

Creighton Sports Complex The Creighton Sports Complex, which includes the Kitty Gaughan Pavilion, is home to Bluejay softball. The sports complex opened in 1988 and was renovated in 2000, while the Kitty Gaughan Pavilion was completed and dedicated in 2001. In 2011, work crews removed the old artificial turf from the softball field as the venue received numerous upgrades that summer. The old turf, which was installed in 1999, was replaced with a state-of-the-art, softball-specific surface. AstroTurf® GameDay Grass™ 3D is the new surface at the Creighton Sports Complex and is designed to play more like real grass. The surface also comes with a drainage system. In addition to the new playing field, padding was added to the outfield wall and the center field fence was raised for an improved batter’s eye. The facility now features a new scoreboard as well, located beyond the right field fence. In 2006, the softball field added a section of chairback seats be-hind homeplate and an enclosed press box. The Kitty Gaughan Pavilion provides several amenities not just for the baseball and softball programs, but for the entire athletic department. The Pavilion contains offices, locker rooms and indoor batting cages for both programs. It also contains a training room, an umpire locker room, a kitchenette, concession area, public restrooms, furnished lounge area with televisions, an indoor viewing area and viewing deck. In 2000 Jackie Gaughan generously supported the construction of CU’s baseball and softball indoor complex and he requested that the building be named in honor of his mother, Kitty. The Kitty Gaughan Pavilion was formally dedicated on Oct. 27, 2001.

The winningest coach in Creighton athletics history, Brent Vigness enters his 26th season at the helm the Bluejays. He owns 757 victories during 25 seasons in Omaha. Overall, the central Iowa native boasts 905 career wins in 30 years.

En route to a runner-up finish in the 2018 BIG EAST Championship, Vigness earned his 900th career victory with a 5-4 win at home against Georgetown on April 28, 2018.

Vigness claimed his 700th win at Creighton with a 3-2 victory over South Dakota State on March 10, 2016.

After 20 seasons in the Missouri Valley Conference, Vigness led Creighton into its inaugural BIG EAST campaign in 2014. The Bluejays advanced to the semifinals of the BIG EAST Championship in their first year in the league. Fittingly, Vigness reached the 800-win career mark in conjunction with the program’s first BIG EAST victory at Butler on March 22, 2014.

A four-time MVC Coach of the Year, he led the Bluejays to seven MVC regular-season titles (1998-2000, 2007-09, 2013), six Valley tournament titles (1999, 2003-05, 2007, 2010) and seven NCAA regional appearances (1999, 2003-05, 2007-08, 2010). He claimed MVC Coach of the Year honors in 1998 and guided the MVC Coaching Staffs of the Year in 2007, 2008 and 2013.

Head Coach Brent Vigness

Vigness coached his 1,000th game at Creighton and recorded his 600th win at CU in 2012. He earned victory No. 600 at Creighton on April 21 in a 4-3 win against Evansville. A year prior, Vigness became the winningest coach in Creighton athletics history. The Bluejays’ 9-3 win at Iowa State on March 31, 2011 marked his 565th victory at Creighton, moving Vigness past CU Hall of Fame softball coach Mary Higgins for the most wins by any head coach in school history. His 905 career victories ranks 20th among active coaches in NCAA Division I softball.

The Bluejays captured more combined MVC regular-season and tournament titles than any other Valley program over their last 16 years in the MVC, with 12 titles in that span. In addition to the 2013 title, Vigness twice guided the Bluejays to three straight regular-season titles – from 1998 to 2000 and from 2007 to 2009. From 1998-2013 the Bluejays captured seven regular-season Valley titles, won six MVC tournament crowns and appeared in nine MVC tournament championship games. The 2008 team set a school record with 21 conference victories, while the 2005 Creighton squad became just the second team in league history to win three consecutive tournament titles.

Year-By-Year RecapDuring his 25th season at the helm of the Bluejays, Vigness guided his 2018 squad to a 28-15 record and an appearance in the BIG EAST Championship in Rosemont, Illinois for the first time since 2014. Three Bluejays earned All-BIG EAST recognition as Sam Crowley made the First Team, while Kiele Miller and Tash Coffiel made the Second Team. Crowley also earned Google Cloud Academic All-America status and NFCA All-Region honors. Creighton improved its win total by 10 from the previous year, the team’s best improvement since a 17-win jump between 2006 and 2007.

Vigness guided the Bluejays’ through their fourth season in the BIG EAST Conference (2017) with an 18-32 record. Creighton had three All-BIG EAST selections, as freshman Sam Dellinger made the first team, while senior Aujanae McCoy and freshman Ashley Cantu made the second team.

He led Creighton to a 25-22 record during the 2016 season. Allie Reinhart earned her second consecutive All-BIG EAST Second Team selection, and joined Michelle Trulin on the all-conference second team, as the Bluejays had multiple outfielders named first or second-team all-conference for the first time since 2004.

Vigness directed the Bluejays to a 22-21 record in 2015, Creighton’s second season in the BIG EAST Conference. Senior Liz Dike led the Jays with a .418 batting average and earned All-BIG EAST First Team honors.

In 2014 the Bluejays finished fourth in their inaugural season as a member of the BIG EAST Conference. CU concluded the year with an overall record of 29-24 and a conference mark of 10-10. The Bluejays finished conference play strong by reeling off four consecutive victories to earn a bid to the BIG EAST Championship.

Senior Becca Changstrom finished her outstanding four-year career second all-time in starts (115), appearances (133) and complete games (93) in Creighton history. She also ranked third in wins (74), strikeouts (860) and innings pitched (766). Changstrom was a four-time all-conference selection, including a 2014 All-BIG EAST First Team selection.

The Bluejays surprised some in the MVC by winning the regular-season title in 2013 after being picked fourth in the preseason poll. Despite earning a No. 1 seed, Creighton fell 1-0 to UNI in the MVC tournament semifinals after a lead-off home run proved to be the difference.

She also claimed All-MVC First Team, MVC All-Tournament Team and NFCA All-Midwest Region Second Team honors after posting a 22-9 overall record, a career-high 254 strikeouts and 1.70 ERA on the year. In 2012 Creighton jumped out to its second-best start in school history by winning its first seven games before playing five contests against ranked opponents over an eight-game span. The Bluejays finished the MVC regular season in fifth at 15-11 and a final record of 28-25-1. A potent Bluejay offense scored at least 10 runs in a game 11 times and scored a school record of 294 runs. CU led the MVC with a .292 batting average, 56 homers, 275 RBI and a .464 slugging percentage. Alexis Cantu led the MVC with 17 homers, 46 walks, a .547 on-base percentage and a .802 slugging percentage. She set league records with 13 homers and 34 RBI during conference action. After the loss of two Easton All-Americans in 2010 -- seniors Tara Oltman and Renae Sinkler -- 2011 was a rebuilding year for Creighton. The Bluejays returned just three starters and added 11 freshmen to the roster. The team finished in sixth place at 12-12 in the MVC and posted a 25-28 overall record. Baker hit a league-leading 18 homers and paced the team with 33 RBI. Ellen Homan became the first freshman to lead Creighton in hitting since 1989 with 52 hits, 15 multi-hit games, 25 runs scored and a .308 average.

The 2010 Bluejays overcame a 2-5 MVC start to finish 18-7 in league play and sweep through the MVC Tournament for their sixth Valley postseason crown under Vigness. Led by two-time MVC Player of the Year and NFCA All-American Sinkler’s school and MVC record 24 home runs, the team set a school record with 66 homers. Three-time Easton All-American pitcher Oltman ended her record-setting career by becoming the first student-athlete in school history to earn first-team all-conference honors four times. She also set a single-season school record with 32 wins. Vigness logged career win No. 700 in a victory over Southern Illinois on May 14 during the Bluejays’ 2010 MVC tournament title run. The Jays dropped a pair of 3-2 contests to host No. 8 Missouri and DePaul at the NCAA Regional in Columbia, Missouri, to end the season.

Creighton clinched its third consecutive regular-season title in 2009. The Bluejays finished at 35-16 overall and ranked ninth in the nation with a school-record .975 fielding percentage. Despite an impressive résumé, including being the first visiting team to shut out Arizona on its home field since 2005, and a no-hitter against nationally ranked Southern Illinois, the Bluejays were left out of the NCAA Tournament after losing the MVC Championship game. Oltman became the first three-time MVC Pitcher of the Year and the first NFCA All-American under Vigness’ watch. Vigness captured his 500th Bluejay victory with a win over Bradley on April 4, 2009. In 2008 the Bluejays posted their fourth 40-win season in a five-year span, finishing with a 43-17 overall mark and 21-3 Valley record to claim another regular-season crown.

Head Coach Brent VignessCreighton’s 19-2 home record in 2008 included an unblemished 12-0 mark in league play and marked the most home wins by the Bluejays since 1989. After earning an at-large NCAA bid, the Jays suffered two 2-1 eight-inning losses to No. 18 Long Beach State and host Iowa at the NCAA Regional in Iowa City. Highlights included a win at two-time defending NCAA champion No. 7 Arizona and Sinkler’s selection as USA Softball’s National Player of the Week on April 14. The 2007 Bluejays rebounded from a disappointing 2006 campaign by tearing through the MVC for their first regular-season title since 2000. Oltman and Amanda Hess anchored a staff that ranked No. 20 in the NCAA with a 1.76 ERA. The Jays dominated the MVC Tournament, toppling nationally ranked Southern Illinois in the title game to capture their fourth postseason title and NCAA bid in a five-year span. Creighton eliminated NCAA Regional host Nebraska with a 2-1 victory in Lincoln before bowing out of the tournament. Vigness led the Bluejays to three straight MVC Tournament titles and NCAA Regional appearances from 2003-05. He captured his first postseason NCAA victory and the Jays’ first since 1989 with a 3-1 win over Florida International at the 2003 NCAA Regional in Lincoln. Vigness was tabbed the MVC Coach of the Year in 1998, after capturing the first of three straight MVC regular-season crowns with a 16-2 mark in Valley play. After claiming the 1999 MVC tournament title Vigness led Creighton to its first NCAA tournament appearance in nine seasons as Creighton Hall of Fame player Heidi Geier earned Easton Second Team All-America honors. The following year Vigness coached CU to a share of the 2000 regular-season title. Vigness arrived in Omaha after leading Division II Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts, to a 148-71-1 (.675) mark between 1989 and 1993. Vigness left as the winningest coach in Assumption College history. He guided the Lady Hounds to three consecutive 30-win seasons. The 37 victories posted by his 1990 Assumption College squad is the second-best single-season mark in school history. In 1992, Vigness became the youngest coach in the school’s history to amass 100 wins. He was named the Northeast 10 Conference Coach of the Year in both 1989 and 1991 after leading the Lady Hounds to the league regular-season title. Vigness’ 1992 Assumption squad led all Division II teams in batting average - hitting an amazing .370 for the season. In his first season at Assumption of 1989 Vigness was hired as head softball coach, assistant women’s basketball coach and women’s athletic trainer before dropping the latter two positions to concentrate solely on softball.

From 1986 to 1988 Vigness served as a student assistant softball coach at Central College in Pella, Iowa, where he graduated in 1988 with a bachelor’s degree in physical education and recreation. Central College reached the Division III national quarterfinals in each of Vigness’ three seasons there, finishing as the national runner-up in 1986 and national champion in 1988. A two-year letterwinner in football at Central College, Vigness lettered in football, basketball, baseball and track at Nesco High School in Zearing, Iowa. As a senior, he was the captain of both the football and basketball teams and earned all-conference honors in both football and baseball. Vigness and his wife, Cris, have three sons: Brady, Boyd and Bryce.

Assistant Coach Renae Sinkler-O’Gorman

Two-time Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year Renae Sinkler-O’Gorman returns to the Bluejay dugout for her seventh season as an assistant coach. The 2010 NFCA All-America first baseman works with hitters, pitchers, outfielders and infielders.

Sinkler-O’Gorman was a part of the 2013 MVC Coaching Staff of the Year, helping the Bluejays claim their first MVC regular season title since her playing days in 2009.

Last season, Sinkler-O’Gorman helped guide three Bluejays to All-BIG EAST honors and Creighton’s first top-two finish in the league standings since joining the BIG EAST in 2014.

In 2017, she directed senior Aujanae McCoy and freshmen Ashley Cantu and Sam Dellinger to All-BIG EAST honors.

In 2016 Sinkler-O’Gorman helped senior Michelle Trulin and junior Allie Reinhart become the first pair of Bluejay outfielders make the all-conference teams in the same season since 2004, as both made the All-BIG EAST Second Team and Creighton finished in fifth place in the league.

During the 2015 season, she guided senior Liz Dike to an All-BIG EAST First Team selection as well as junior Blake Ringle and Reinhart to the Second Team.

The Bluejays finished fourth in their inaugural season as a member of the BIG EAST Conference in 2014. Creighton finished with an overall record of 29-24 and a conference record of 10-10. The Bluejays finished league play strong by reeling off four straight victories to earn a bid to the BIG EAST Softball Championship before top-seeded DePaul ended their NCAA tournament hopes by defeating the Jays. Sinkler-O’Gorman helped develop seniors Alexis Cantu and Blair Lowe as well as Dike as they earned spots on All-BIG EAST teams.

The Bluejays surprised some in the MVC by winning the regular-season title in 2013 after being picked fourth in the preseason poll. Despite earning a No. 1 seed, Creighton fell 1-0 to UNI in the MVC tournament semifinals aftera game-opening leadoff home run that proved to be the difference. Senior Amy Baker’s record-setting year led the Jays to a 29-18 overall record and 15-7 conference mark. Sinkler-O’Gorman’s impact paid off in 2012 as a potent Bluejay offense scored at least 10 runs in a game 11 times and scored a school record 294 runs. CU led the MVC with a .292 batting average, 56 homers, 275 RBIs and a .464 slugging percentage, and ended the year ranked in the NCAA top-30 in scoring (No. 20), home runs per game (No. 22) and slugging percentage (No. 27). Sinkler-O’Gorman won a title in each of her four seasons with the Bluejays as a player, as Creighton won three straight regular-season titles from 2007 to 2009 and a Valley tournament championship in 2007 and 2010. She also helped lead the Jays to three NCAA Regional appearances in her career. The Lincoln, Nebraska, native put together the greatest offensive season in school history as a senior in 2010, setting single-season school records for runs (59), RBI (58), total bases (147), slugging percentage (.880), on-base percentage (.514) and hit a Missouri Valley Conference-record 24 home runs. She ranked fourth in the NCAA in home runs per game and sixth in slugging percentage, earning NFCA Third Team All-America honors as a senior. Sinkler-O’Gorman crushed a then Creighton record and ranked third all-time in MVC history with 50 career home runs. She also owned school records of 146 RBI and 391 total bases at the end of her playing career. A member of three Bluejay NCAA Tournament teams, she earned MVC First Team honors three times, NFCA All-Region honors twice and is one of four players in league history to repeat as MVC Player of the Year. Along the way Sinkler-O’Gorman earned USA Softball’s National Player of the Week recognition on April 14, 2008 as a sophomore after hitting .700 and driving in nine runs, including three RBIs during Creighton’s 13-1 defeat of Nebraska in her hometown.

Sinkler-O’Gorman graduated from Creighton in 2011 with a degree in graphic design and minors in computer science and web design.

Renae, and her husband, Paul O’Gorman, have one daughter, Lillyana.

Assistant Coach Micaela Whitney and Support Staff

Former Bluejay pitcher Micaela Whitney will begin her second season on the Creighton coaching staff in 2019.

Whitney helped lead last year’s pitching staff to a 3.34 team ERA, the best mark since 2014 and a 1.58 improvement from the previous season. Freshman Kiele Miller also garnered All-BIG EAST Second Team honors after posting a league-best 1.42 ERA during conference games.

Creighton softball head coach Brent Vigness announced the hiring of former Bluejay pitcher as an assistant coach on Oct. 9, 2017.

Whitney works primarily with Bluejay pitchers, while helping in other areas as needed.

The former Creighton right-hander (2015-16) served as an assistant coach and pitching coach for the varsity softball team at Lewis Central High School (Council Bluffs, Iowa) for three seasons (2014-16), and helped guide the Titans to a 2.12 team-ERA during the summer of 2016.

She also assisted as the pitching coach at Papillion-La Vista South High School during the fall of 2016, and has given private pitching lessons in the Omaha area.

Whitney spent the summer of 2017 playing professionally for Terrasvogels in Haarlem, Netherlands, and helped the team finish runner-up at the European Cup. She earned acclaim as the International Baseball Community’s Top Softball Pitcher Overseas for the 2017 summer season. The Omaha, Nebraska, native led the BIG EAST in strikeouts with 86 during league play as a senior at Creighton in 2016. She ended her two-year Bluejay career with a 3.24 ERA in 257.0 innings of work with 234 strikeouts, 17 victories, seven shutouts and two saves. Whitney also recorded two no-hitters during 41 starts, including one during her first start as a Bluejay on Feb. 5, 2015. Prior to playing at Creighton, Whitney spent two seasons at the University of Iowa and led the Hawkeyes with a 2.89 ERA during her freshman year (2013).

Whitney graduated from Creighton with a bachelor’s degree in psychology in December of 2016.

Billy Bluejay is the official mascot of the Creighton University Athletics Department. Creighton is a private, Jesuit NCAA Division I school in Omaha, Neb., founded in 1878. Prior to 1924, with no official athletics nickname, University publications and news media often referred to Creighton athletic teams by the school’s colors – the “White and Blue,” or vice versa. Because of Creighton’s location atop a bluff, the team was occasionally designated unofficially as the “Hilltoppers,” but the name lost favor because at least six other teams in the country went by the same nickname. At the behest of Creighton’s Athletics Board and Alumni Association, the Omaha Bee newspa-per coordinated a public contest in late 1923 to select a nickname and mascot for Creighton University athletic teams. After reviewing 200 entries, the Athletics Board decided upon “Bluejays” because the color of the bird was in keeping with school colors. The Bluejays were originally depicted by an ornithologically correct rendition of the bird. In 1941, Creighton alumnus Joseph P. Murphy, a 1931 graduate of the College of Business and, at the time, a Creighton journalism professor and the head of its public relations department, designed a graphical image of the bird with a more human stance and expression. Murphy’s 1941 design remained largely intact for the past 72 years with only minor revisions. While it is unclear on the exact year the first walking costume mascot modeled after Murphy’s 1941 graphical image appeared publicly or the first time the image or mascot were referred to as “Billy Bluejay,” many costumes were created, changed/re-designed over the past seven decades as Billy became a fixture at Creighton Athletics events, roaming the sidelines to cheer on his beloved Bluejays. In October, 2013, in conjunction with Creighton’s move to the BIG EAST Conference, the University unveiled a new Athletics brand – athletic logo, sport-specific logos and corresponding secondary marks designed to increase overall awareness of the Creighton University Bluejays - locally, regionally and nationally. The new logo was designed to build on the history, tradition and love of previous Billy Bluejay icons while maintaining the integrity of the past and establishing the new Creighton Bluejay brand as a distinct and recognizable identity in the BIG EAST. Creighton Athletics turned to Street Characters to provide an updated Billy Bluejay walking mascot costume, one that was more vibrant, more athletic and one that more closely resembled the new athletics brand. The new-look Billy Bluejay walking mascot costume made his first public appearance in front of over 17,000 fans when the Creighton men’s basketball team hosted Nebraska on Dec. 8 at CHI Health Center Omaha.

Creighton Administration

McCormick Endowed Athletic DirectorBruce Rasmussen

The 2017-18 chairman of the highly esteemed NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, Bruce Rasmussen enters his 25th year as McCormick Endowed Athletic Director, and 39th overall at Creighton University, in 2018-19. During Rasmussen’s tenure, Creighton has

risen to prominence with its success on and off the field, impressive facilities and record-breaking fundraising efforts. For evidence, look no further than four recent projects that continue to change the area’s athletics scene. The Wayne and Eileen Ryan Athletic Center and D.J. Sokol Arena opened in 2009 and immediately gave Creighton’s women’s basketball and volleyball teams a top-notch facility to call home. TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, home to Bluejay baseball and the College World Series, opened in 2011 to rave reviews. Just east of the Ryan Athletic Center is Creighton’s student recreation center that was named the Rasmussen Center in his honor in 2012. The most recent addition to the campus is the Championship Center, which opened in June 2014 and is considered one of the best of its kind. Those projects add to an overhaul in the school’s athletic facilities over the past 15 years, which has also seen Creighton begin play at two of the finest facilities nationwide -- Michael G. Morrison, S.J., Stadium (soccer) and CHI Health Center Omaha (men’s basketball). Rasmussen also helped lead the charge for one of the biggest moves in school history when the school accepted an invitation into the BIG EAST Conference in March of 2013. Since Rasmussen assumed the role of athletics director, Creighton has won 38 regular-season and 41 conference tournament titles, which have helped lead to 84 postseason appearances. The Bluejays remain the only school in the history of the Missouri Valley Conference to make 16 straight men’s basketball postseasons, and have made the NCAA Tournament in men’s soccer in 24 of the past 26 years. Creighton was also recognized with the MVC All-Academic Award in seven of its last nine seasons in the league. A member of the College World Series of Omaha, Inc., Executive Committee, Rasmussen continues to play a vital role in Creighton and the city of Omaha remaining as host of the College World Series. He was one of six individuals on the CWS Oversight Committee that helped decide the location for the new downtown TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, which will help keep the CWS in Omaha for another 25 years. With Creighton serving as host, the CWS has welcomed more than 300,000 fans in each of the last 13 years. Rasmussen was one of four regional winners from the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) to take home a 2004 GeneralSports TURF Systems AD of the Year Award. In both 2010 and 2015, Rasmussen was honored with an Under Armour AD of the Year award by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. In 2008, he was inducted into the Omaha Sports Hall of Fame. Creighton’s reputation as one of the nation’s top academic institutions is reflected in the success the Bluejay student-athletes have had in the classroom during Rasmussen’s service as athletics director. Creighton’s baseball, softball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, women’s

golf, women’s soccer as well as men’s and women’s tennis teams all have received national awards for their academic success. Bluejay student-athletes have owned GPAs of 3.30 or above in 24 straight semesters entering the fall of 2018. Creighton’s primary annual athletics fundraising events are the Bluejay Bash and the Bluejay Jamboree. Under Rasmussen’s leadership, each of these events continues to raise record-breaking funds for Creighton athletics. Most notably, the 2018 Jamboree generated more than $270,000 through its gourmet dinner, raffle and auction. Rasmussen accepted the associate athletics director position in 1992 after a 12-year run as the win-ningest coach in Creighton women’s basketball history (196-147), that culminating in the program’s historic 1991-92 season. The 1992 Western Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, Rasmussen led the 1991-92 Bluejay women to a program-record 28 wins (28-4), the WAC regular-season and tournament champion-ships and a first-round NCAA Tournament victory in the program’s first-ever trip to the “Big Dance.” With that 28-4 record in 1991-92, Rasmussen completed his college coaching career with a 196-147 record, good for a .571 winning percentage. After serving as associate athletics director for two years, 1992-94, Rasmussen was named athletics director on Aug. 1, 1994. A native of Webster City, Iowa, Rasmussen and his wife, Jill, have five children: Megan, David, John, Katie and Grace.

Omaha, Nebraska

Think of Omaha as center court: a dynamic and unique destination in the center of the country, full of action. Omaha has this special spirit that fills the city like an arena full of fans whose team just won with a buzzer beater. Excitement abounds for what it has built, what it has accomplished and what’s still ahead. It’s a spirit born on the banks of the Missouri River, a city founded in 1854 by land speculators convinced they were at the heart of something new. Soon after, the transcontinental railroad was built and Omaha emerged as a hotbed of activity and new technologies. There is a great story about Omaha’s growth in the early days that really speaks to the pioneering spirit of the city. As Omaha prepared to lay underground cables for telephones, workers were trying to figure out the easiest way to string the lines. Being an inventive bunch, Omahans solved the prob-lem by getting ferrets to help carry the lines through the tunnels. Sounds extraordinary, but it worked. Today, Omaha is at the center of the telecommunications industry. Call for a hotel reservation from anywhere in the U.S. and you are probably calling Omaha. The city is home to the Hyatt, Marriott, Radisson, and Omni reservation centers. That infrastructure is also key to the nation’s defense. Offutt Air Force Base, home to STRATCOM, is based here. STRATCOM is the nation’s eyes, ears and muscle when it comes to protecting the country. That spirit is also seen in Omaha’s modern day pioneers. Warren Buffett, one of the wealthiest men in the world, is a plainspoken Omaha-born and bred financial pioneer. When Warren speaks, people listen, learn and make money. In fact, as you look at the four Fortune 500 companies that

call Omaha home, they are all innovators: Berkshire Hathaway, Union Pacific, Mutual of Omaha and Peter Kiewit Sons’. It’s not just the business community that embodies that spirit; you can also listen to it, touch it, taste it and feel it when you visit Omaha. Home to the world’s largest indoor rainforest, next to the world’s largest indoor desert under the world’s largest geodesic dome, Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo is a can’t miss when you’re in town. Experience what it’s like to go underground and see rare creatures that only come out at night, or surround yourself with sharks as you walk through an 850,000-gallon underwater tunnel. Talk about innovative: The zoo has spent $6 million on a research facility allowing it to respond to national and international conservation needs. Omaha’s three Smithsonian-affiliated museums feature diverse offerings. Gaze at a 15,000-pound glass sculpture suspended in the air at the Joslyn Art Museum, hop on board Harry S. Truman’s press train at the Durham Museum, or “pilot” a fighter jet at the Strategic Air and Space Museum, home to

some of the most prized and rarely displayed military aircraft. Discover how nature can seem brand new as you walk through over 100 acres of lush and rare flora at Lauritzen Gardens, Omaha’s botanical center. Omaha is a mecca to music pioneers, as the city is known by many as the nation’s premier hot spot for the indie rock scene. It’s home to famed Saddle Creek Records and nationally renowned bands such as Bright Eyes, The Faint and Cursive. Omaha is a city that never forgets its past. The Old Market is the true merging of old and new. The historic warehouse district was preserved and transformed into an art, shopping and dining district. Unique shops and restaurants lining cobblestone streets, it’s a place to remember where you’ve been and where you’re going. The Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge S-curves its way across the Missouri River. This one-of-a-kind structure is the longest pedestrian bridge to link two states. It’s just one more example of how Omaha stays fresh and innovative, all thanks to that indelible pioneering spirit.

A view of the Omaha skyline at night. More than 900,000 people live in the Omaha metro and about 1.2 million people live within a 50-mile radius.

Academic and Athletic Success• Creighton’s student-athletes combined for a 3.46 GPA last spring. The student-athletes also own a

3.44 cumulative GPA.• The NCAA uses a tool for the evaluation of the academic quality of par-

ticipating programs. The Academic Progress Report is intended to gauge the progress student-athletes are making to degree completion and graduation. In the spring of 2018, Creighton had four teams post multi-year APR scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports: women’s basketball, women’s cross country, women’s golf and women’s tennis.

• Creighton owns 50 Google Cloud CoSIDA Academic All-American honors all-time. In the fall of 2018, Taryn Kloth (volleyball), Sven Koenig (men’s soccer) and Jaali Winters (volleyball) became the school’s latest honorees.

Athletic Performance/Training

Creighton University student-athletes benefit from year-round strength and conditioning training programs in The Championship Center. The 6,000 square foot state-of-the-art Athletic Performance Center is equipped with 12 Power Lift half-racks that each have inlaid lifting platforms and the EliteForm system. Additionally, the Athletic Performance Center features Uesaka Collegiate Series Bumper Plates, Plae Flooring, Iron Grip dumbbells, and a nutrition/hydration station to provide Creighton student-athletes with the optimal training and recovery environment. The athletic performance program at Creighton University is designed to help the athletes become strong and powerful. The program combines Olympic lifts, strength training exercises, plyometrics, speed and agility development, flexibility, and cardiovascular regimes. The programs are specifically tailored to each athlete, the sport they participate in and to their individual experience and ability. The goal of the program is to reduce the chance of injury and to help all athletes reach their full potential. To help maximize athletic performance, each Creighton student-athlete works with the strength and conditioning staff, the sports medicine staff, a certified nutritionist and a sports psychologist, giving Creighton student-athletes all the resources they need to succeed at the highest level.

The Creighton University Athletic Training staff works in cooperation with and under the supervision of physicians to provide the best possible care for student-athletes. It has a staff of five full-time athletic trainers, and two graduate assistant athletic trainers. Athletic training students also gain clinical experience as they help serve the sports medicine needs of Creighton student-athletes. The mission of Creighton University athletic training is to serve as the initial allied healthcare provider for Creighton University student-athletes and to provide access to other healthcare professionals as needed. Services include prevention, assessment, management and rehabilitation of athletic-related injuries and illnesses.

Creighton athletic training is committed to the highest standards of care consistent with the National Athletic Trainers Association Code of Professional Practice and the credentialing statutes of the state of Nebraska.
