CELEBRATING A SEASON OF OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT!

One of the greatest resources in the University of Wisconsin Division of Intercollegiate Athletics is its more than 750 student-athletes. The 2002-03 season was a showcase year for Badger student-athletes. For the eighth time in the 10-year history of the NACDA Director’s Cup (which ranks schools for on-field achievement), the UW- Madison finished in the nation’s Top 25. Boosted by a national runner-up finish by the men’s cross country team, the Badgers placed 24th in the final standings. Additionally, several Badgers earned prestigious individual honors. Matt Tegenkamp (men’s cross country) and Carly Piper (women’s swimming) were named Big Ten Athletes of the Year and also Wisconsin’s Male and Female Athlete of the Year. Men’s basketball star Kirk Penney and volleyball player Erin Byrd received the Big Ten Medal of Honor, which is given to a male and female student-athlete at each institution for excellence in athletics and academics. The Big Ten launched a new award, the Outstanding Sportsmanship Award and recipients were chosen based upon a criterion of sportsmanship and community service. One member of each varsity team was nominated and two outstanding award winners were selected for the Big Ten honor. Kirk Penney (men’s basketball) and Tara Clack (women’s track) were the Badgers’ Outstanding Sportsmanship Award winners. Wisconsin’s other nominees were Ebba Gebisa (women’s basketball), Adam Wallace (men’s cross country), Elaine Canchola (women’s cross country), Brooks Bollinger (football), Brian Brodell (men’s golf), Katie Connelly (women’s golf), Dan Boeser (men’s hockey), Kathryn Greaves (women’s hockey), Peter Nagle (men’s rowing), Ashley Mays (women’s rowing), Alexandra Endress (women’s lightweight rowing), Eric Hanson (men’s soccer), Lauren Schmidt (women’s soccer), Boo Gillette (softball), Dale Rogers (men’s swimming), Betsy Hassebroek (women’s swimming), Scott Green (men’s tennis), Katie McGaffigan (women’s tennis), Ryan Tremelling (men’s track), Lisa Zukowski (volleyball) and Tom Clum (wrestling).

12 Youngsters Enjoying Kids’ Days

Celebrating Youth & Badger Athletics

Several events geared toward kids in the Madison area were huge successes for the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics in 2002-03. Three events –– the annual Football Family Fun Day in August, an event called Kids’ Day at the Kohl Center during teacher conferences in the fall and the springtime’s Badger Kids Fair –– were held to provide opportunities for youngsters to meet Bucky Badger, collect autographs, participate in interactive sports exhibits, get their face painted or receive balloon sculptures. More than 2,000 people attended each of the division’s three events geared toward the future Badgers. Each event, which was run by the UW marketing and promotions office, had free admission.

Don’t Hang Up; It Might Be A Badger Student-Athlete Calling To Say “Thanks”

More than 200 student-athletes, representing all 23 sports, came to the Kohl Center for the school’s fifth annual Thank-a-thon in April. Over a week long period, the Badgers made personal phone calls to more than 5,000 donors and expressed their appreciation to the patrons who have made contributions to UW Athletics. “It’s nice because we don’t usually get the chance to thank people,” said sophomore women’s basketball player Stephanie Rich. Student-athletes receive a list of 24 patrons to call and a script to fol- low. Some calls were quick and others grew into longer conversations. “An older man’s grandson went to my cross-town high school rival,” said junior wide receiver Darrin Charles. “He was a chit-chatter and it was really fun.”
