499 NCAA All-Americans | 59 60 | 20 NCAA Team Titles 499 NCAA All-Americans | 61 The MINER ATHLETE ACADEMIC CENTER (MAAC) is the first center of its kind at UTEP and is conveniently located in the center of campus. The MAAC was created to provide progressive academic services to student-athletes to ensure compliance with UTEP, WAC and NCAA academic eligibility standards. The MAAC has expanded its role to promote the individual and educational goals of each UTEP student-athlete. Each sport is assigned an athletic academic advisor whose primary respon- sibility is to serve as an advisor and mentor for student-athletes; to assist with educational goal setting, degree plans, and course selection; and to calculate and certify NCAA academic eligibility. Student-athletes are advised every semester by both their respective colleges and their athletic academic advisors in the MAAC.

The MAAC recognizes that one of student-athletes' greatest challenges is to maintain the delicate balance between academics and athletics. In response to such challenges, the MAAC has implemented its Three-Part Aca- demic Support Program to provide a solid foundation from which student-athletes will culti- vate the skills needed to successfully complete their college experience. The program re- quires student-athletes to meet with their appointed advisor weekly; offers one-on-one tutoring; and provides a large study area and computer lab for study hall. The MAAC computer lab houses 25 state-of-the-art "thin cli- ent" computers with the latest software, complete internet access and two laser printers. Computer lab, tutoring and study hall hours are Monday through Thursday 7:30 a.m.- 9p.m.; Friday 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m.; and Sunday 2-7 p.m.

His sprinters have also Head Track & Field Coach gained 63 All-American titles in the 16 years that he has Mississippi State, 1979-88 been in El Paso - a rate of four All-Americans per year.

How- Track & Field Graduate Assistant ever, much of his childhood was spent on a ranch near Texas Tech, 1967-68 Silverton, an even smaller community in the same general area. At Silverton High School, Kitchens lettered in both track and football. As a schoolboy athlete, he ran the 100 and 200 and was a member of both sprint relay teams-all races in which he has had a great impact as a coach. Not a highly-recruited athlete, Kitchens walked on at Texas Tech as a freshman and eventually earned a track scholarship. He was a member of the Red Raider track team for four years and earned letters three times in the same events in which he competed in his high school days.

4 | 20 NCAA Team Titles His eligibility complete, Kitchens remained in Lub- bock, where he became a student assistant while finishing his degree in physical education. Soon after the completion of his degree at Texas Tech, he was recom- mended for the newly-created position of head track coach at West Texas State University (now West Texas A&M). Kitchens’ first track team was composed of mostly walk-ons, but before he finished his tenure with the Buf- faloes, he had coached six All-Americans, won the 1976 Missouri Valley Conference Championship and was named coach of the year twice. In addition to his coaching duties, Kitchens taught physical education classes. In 1978 Kitchens began building a women’s track program at West Texas State and was married to his wife Shirley. In 1979, Kitchens moved with his wife and daughter to Starkville, Miss., where he took the head coaching job at Mississippi State University. He remained with the Bulldogs for nine years, where he produced 28 All-Americans and three NCAA champions. His tenure at MSU was highlighted by leading the 1,600-meter relay team to the NCAA title (his first ever). In 1987, Kitchens coached shot-putter Gary Frank to a 67-foot plus effort to take the NCAA title. The following year Kitchens coached sprinter Lorenzo Daniel to an NCAA record-breaking time of 19.87 in the 200 at the national meet. His record still stands today. Kitch- ens’ athletes have held both the NCAA indoor and outdoor meet records: Daniel at 19.87 outdoors and UTEP standout Obadele Thompson at 20.36 indoors (record Bob Kitchens Capsule broken in 2000).

Continued success at the conference, regional and national level can be expected as the UTEP women’s track and field team embarks on the 2005 campaign. Head coach Bob Kitchens returns 10 letterwinners from last year’s squad and reloads with 11 newcomers. Sprints/Hurdles With the return of seasoned veterans and the addition of several fleet-footed newcomers, the sprint and hurdle corps will be a solid contributor for the Miners in 2005. Junior Olatunde Okusanya returns after taking a medical redshirt during the 2004 outdoor season. De- spite being less than 100 percent, she was fourth in the 400 at the 2004 WAC Indoor Championships. Okusanya was held out of the conference outdoor championships in 2003 with injuries. If healthy she is expected to be a major force in the 200 and 400 in 2005, as well as in the 400 and 1,600 relays. Senior Alisha Leverett has continued to be a pe- rennial conference scorer in the 100, 200, 400 relay and 1600 relay.

In its final season as a WAC member, UTEP as- pires to win its 29th and 30th league titles (13 outdoors, 15 indoors) and return to the nation’s top 25. When the Miners take to the blocks this year, they will be seeking their first sweep of the conference indoor and outdoor titles since 1984 and their first top-25 finish since 2002, when they were 15th both indoors and outdoors. The 2005 Miners are stocked with talent in several areas that were lacking in the past. UTEP’s distance corps, featuring All-American Mircea Bogdan, has the makings to rival the nation’s best units. Bob Kitch- ens’ sprinters will be headed by sophomore Daniel Ward. All-American transfer Mickael Hanany will so- lidify the Miners in the jumping arena, while Correy Harrison has developed into an NCAA qualifying hope- ful in the discus. Sprints/Hurdles The UTEP sprinters have been a trademark of the program’s success in recent years. In 2005, John Alipio, Yinka Bello, Obi Oguh, Brian Sears and Ward will be the torch bearers for the Miners. Alipio and Oguh were point winners in the 400 and as part of the 1,600 relay at the WAC Outdoor Champi- onships last season. Oguh will be entering his first full season with the Miners after joining the squad right before the conference outdoor championships last spring. Bello is an 11-time conference scorer and a two- time NCAA qualifier as part of the 400 relay. He ran fifth in the 100 and seventh in the 200 at last year’s WAC Championships. Sears has been UTEP’s second leg of the 400 relay the last two years, helping the unit to the NCAA Championships each season. He additionally was fourth in the 100 and eighth in the 200 at the 2004 conference meet.
