Bryan Berryhill (Colorado State, 2001) Head Track and Field/Cross Country Coach

University of Wyoming Athletics Director Tom Burman announced June 18, 2012, the hiring of Bryan Berryhill as the new UW head track and field/cross country coach. Berryhill comes to Wyoming after serving as the head cross country and assistant track coach at Colorado State University since 2006. He was named the 2007 Women’s NCAA Regional and Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year after the CSU women won their first-ever team titles at the Mountain West Conference championships and the NCAA Mountain Region championships in the same season. He had a stellar collegiate career at CSU, earning 10 All-America honors in cross country and track. A national champion in the indoor 1-mile run and outdoor 1,500-meter run in 2001, Berryhill holds five individual and three relay records at CSU. He competed as a professional track athlete from 2001-04 and 2005-07. Prior to his appointment as the head coach, he was a volunteer assistant coach for the cross country program at CSU from 2004-06. The CSU women finished second or better in the MW Cross Country Championships in four of the six years of Berryhill’s tenure. In his time with the Rams, he has coached student-athletes to six school records and he coached the only CSU woman to win a Mountain West cross country individual title, as April Thomas won in 2007. The CSU women’s distance squad scored 55 points at the 2012 MW Outdoor Championships, accounting for 41 percent of the total team points. Berryhill received his bachelor’s degree in forestry from CSU in May 2001. He and his wife Toni, have three children, Libby, Eli and Lainey. Paul Barrett (Washington State, ‘91) Associate Head Track and Field Coach

Paul Barrett is entering his 19th year as the throwing coach for the University of Wyoming track and field program.

While at the University of Kentucky (1997-1999), he coached two-time All-American Matt Kavanaugh, who placed seventh in the hammer (221-4) at the 1999 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Kavanaugh was third among American finishers in that event and he still holds the UK school record in the hammer (221-4). Barrett competed at the college level for Washington State University, where he was a Pac-10 finalist in the hammer throw and consistent dual meet scorer for the Cougars in the discus and javelin events as well. Barrett also competed for Spokane Community College before transferring to Washington State University, where he was a two-time NWAACC Conference Champion in the discus throw as well as one-time champion in the hammer throw, qualifying him as a three-time Juco All-American. Barrett stays competitive by competing in Masters Track and Field competitions. In a competition in April 2003, he set an American record in the throws pentathlon for the age 35-39 group, which is currently ranked eighth all-time in the World all-time rankings.

COWGIRLS

The Cowgirls enjoyed a strong fall as they achieved first place at the Rust Buster, second pl.ace at the Rocky Mountain Shootout, and third at the Montana State Invitational and Highlander Invite. They also placed sixth at Mountain West and 14th at the Rocky Mountain Regional. “One thing we accomplished is that we became a closer team,” said first-year coach Bryan Berryhill. “We became a unit that fought for each other and found success throughout the year.” Leading the way was sophomore Holly Page, who earned first team All-Mountain West honors with her fourth-place finish at the confer- ence meet. She also placed first at the Montana State Invite, second at the Rust Buster and Highlander Invite and ninth at the Rocky Mountain Shootout. She barely missed out on qualifying for nationals as she placed 28th at the NCAA Mountain Regional. “Holly had an amazing season,” Berryhill said. “It was a huge step in the right direction. She’s accomplishing some great goals for herself and is learning every race what it’s like to become a champion. She is going to be a force to be reckoned with the next two years.” Redshirt sophomore Christine Nelson was a consistent second- place runner for the team as she scored in four meets and had three top-10 finishes. She also placed 15th at the Rocky Mountain Shootout. “Christine made big strides this season. It’s hard to come back after sitting out an entire year. Unfortunately, she wasn’t feeling well for the last two races which affected her performance.” Seniors Abi Bever and Brooke Hughes were consistent scorers for the team and provided strong leadership in their final season as Cow- girls. Bever placed 10th at the Highlander Invite while Hughes placed 16th for their best finishes of the year. Sophomore Devon England was also a consistent scorer as she earned team points in four meets, which included a sixth-place mark at the Rust Buster and 13th at the Montana State Invitational. COWBOYS

The 2012 season proved successful for the men’s squad with the team earning four second-place finishes for the year at the Rust Buster, Montana State Invitational, Rocky Mountain Shootout and the Highlander Invite. In addition, the Cowboys placed fifth at the Mountain West Championship and finished the campaign with a 13th- place mark at the NCAA Mountain Regional. “We’ve got a great bunch of kids,” Berryhill said. “They work hard, they’re energetic and they support each other. They got better during the year. We’re young, but we return everyone next year and three of the five scorers were just freshmen.” Junior Garrett Zans showed his leadership ability as he led the team for the final three meets of the year, scoring team points as either the first or second Cowboy to cross the finish line in every meet. Before placing 29th at the NCAA Mountain Regional, the Rock Springs, Wyo., native placed sixth at the Montana State Invite, third at the Highlander Invite and 16th at the MW Championship. “Garrett’s a great leader.,” Berryhill said. “As a coach, you can’t ask for a better athlete to get to work with every day. He does everything right and never complains. He made great strides in cross which should translate to a great track season.” Redshirt freshman Aaron Derner swapped first- and second-place Cowboy finishes with Zans and proved to be one of the team’s leaders by scoring every meet. He finished third at the Rust Buster and fourth at the Montana State and Highlander Invites before placing 16th at the Rocky Mountain Shootout and 26th at the MW Championship. Senior Michael Banks ended his cross country career by scoring in every meet, including a 14th at the Montana State Invite and 17th at the Highlander meet. Freshmen Michael Seas and Alex Pawlak began their UW careers in incredible fashion as they scored team points in all five meets and were consistent three-to-five runners. Seas finished 7th at Montana State and 32nd at Mountain West, while Pawlak came in 16th at Montana State and 38th at the MW Championship. “The freshmen did very well,” Berryhill said. “For them to be doing great in 10k races as freshmen is impressive con- sidering they only ran 5k’s in high school. They’re going to set a great foundation over the next few years and be great leaders for the program.” 6 WYOMING TRACK & FIELD WOMEN’S TRACK ROSTER

Wyoming Strength and Conditioning Program

One of the most important parts of the student-athletes’ experience is the time spent in actual preparation for their sport. This time, which is devoted to physically preparing the body to withstand the rigors of their sport, consists of weight lifting, running and fl exibility work. Enhanced athletic performance and improved resistance to injury are the key goals of an eff ective strength and conditioning program. To achieve these goals requires a great deal of hard work and discipline on the part of the athlete, the athlete must be strongly motivated to succeed. This motivation must come, not only from the athlete, but also, from the strength and conditioning program and coach. At the University of Wyoming, great emphasis is placed on the development of our athletes through the strength and conditioning program. We are devoted to providing the most eff ective and positive training environment possible to serve our student-athletes and their sports teams.

In order to best serve the needs of our student-athletes, we provide easy access to our facility. Weight-room hours to our main stadium facility are 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Student-ath- letes are scheduled based on the requirements of their sport, either together as a team or individually. This approach allows the strength and conditioning staff to work individu- ally with as many athletes as possible. A “hands-on” concept is essential to the proper teaching of technique and allows us to better interact with our student-athletes.

57 WYOMING TRACK & FIELD WYOMING TRADITIONS

RAGTIME COWBOY JOE The familiar fi ght song of the University of Wyoming athletics teams is Ragtime Cowboy Joe. This song is performed by the band as UW teams enter the playing surface, following a score or big play, and to fi re up the fans. The Cowboy and Cowgirl student-athletes traditionally sing this following each Wyoming victory.

RAGTIME COWBOY JOE “He always sings raggy music to the cattle as he swings back and forward in the saddle, on a horse - a pretty good horse! He’s got a syncopated gaiter, and you ought to hear the meter to the roar of his repeater; how they run - yes run! - when they hear that he’s ‘a-comin’, cause the western folks all know, he’s a high-falootin’, rootin, tootin’, son of a gun from ol’ Wyoming, Ragtime Cowboy, Talk about your Cowboy, Ragtime Cowboy Joe.”

THE STAMPEDE The Stampede is the offi cial athletics fan club for University of Wyoming students. The Stampede is one BIG fan club for all 17 NCAA Division I sports at the University of Wyoming. The Stampede leads Wyoming fans in spirit, tradition and passion for Wyoming Athletics. Members of the Stampede receive multiple benefi ts, and as a student at UW, The Stampede is the best way to become involved in Wyoming Athletics.

COWBOY NICKNAME The nickname “Cowboys” was applied to Wyoming athletic teams as early as 1891 - two years before the fi rst offi cial football game. The story is that the Wyoming pick-up football team appealed to a 220 pound cowpuncher, Fred Bush, for help in a game against the Cheyenne Soldiers. Bush signed up for a course or two and came out for the team. When he trotted onto the fi eld decked out in a checkered shirt and Cowboy hat, someone yelled, “Hey, look at the Cowboy!” Since many of the members of the team were also ex- cowboys, the name stuck. When women’s sports were added at UW, the nickname of Cowgirls was applied to those squads.

COWBOY JOE PONY Cowboy Joe IV, a fourth generation Wyoming mascot, trots around War Memorial Stadium after each Cowboy touchdown, a tradition which started in 1950 when the Farthing Family of Cheyenne made a generous donation of a young pony to become Wyoming’s mascot. Cowboy Joe also represents UW in parades around the region, appears in Tailgate Park on football game days and leads the band and team in the pre-game Cowboy Walk. This beautiful little pony is very popular with Cowboy & Cowgirl fans of all ages. 58 WYOMING TRACK & FIELD WYOMING TRADITIONS

SPIRIT SQUADS The primary purpose of Wyoming’s Spirit Squads is to support the Cowboys and Cowgirls, and to serve as public relations ambassadors for the University of Wyoming. The UW cheer and pom squads work hard to get the crowd involved, lead cheers, entertain, and to boost the level of fan excitement and support to new extremes. In addition to their game-day involvement at UW Athletics’ contests, Wyoming Spirit Squad members also make numerous appearances at university activities, functions, programs, charitable and public events. Cowboy and Cowgirl sports are fl ying high and the Wyoming Spirit Squads are RAGTIME COWBOY JOE leading the way. “He always sings raggy music to the cattle as he swings back and forward in the saddle, on a horse - a pretty good horse! He’s got a syncopated gaiter, and you ought to hear the meter to the roar of his repeater; how they run - yes run! - when they hear that he’s ‘a-comin’, PISTOL PETE cause the western folks all know, he’s a high-falootin’, rootin, tootin’, son of a gun from ol’ Wyoming, Pistol Pete is a UW student mascot Ragtime Cowboy, Talk about your Cowboy, Ragtime Cowboy Joe.” who works alongside the Wyoming Spirit Squads, encouraging the crowd and getting fans involved in the game.

WESTERN THUNDER MARCHING BAND The University of Wyoming Marching Band - “Western Thunder” - features musicians from nearly every major on campus, who perform for thousands of football fans each year at home and road Cowboy football games. The Wyoming Pep Band plays at numerous other UW sporting events.

UW’S LOGO - STEAMBOAT One of the nation’s best, and most distinctive logos, the image on Wyoming’s uniforms depicts a cowboy riding a bucking horse. This symbol has been a part of the University of Wyoming Athletics Department since the early 1920’s, when UW Equipment Manger Deane Hunton obtained a photograph of a cowboy, Guy Holt, riding the world famous bucking horse Steamboat. Hunton had the photo made into a logo, which was then utilized by UW athletic teams. While there are differing opinions on exactly which horse and rider is depicted on all of UW’s athletic uniforms today, it is the symbol that BROWN AND GOLD COLORS is important. The bucking horse and rider represents the toughness, and the never-say-die spirit that is Wyoming. A statue honoring the The story behind the colors of the University of Wyoming dates back to 1895. In the spring symbol called ‘Fanning a Twister’, was erected at the north entrance of that year, the fi rst ever UW Alumni Banquet was held. Decorations for the banquet of UW’s athletics facilities in 1991. included Brown-Eyed Susans, a fl ower native of Southeastern Wyoming. The Alumni were so impressed with the colors (brown and yellow) and the beauty of the fl owers that they decided to select these colors as the offi cial school colors at UW. Currently, the colors are described as brown and gold. 59 WYOMING TRACK & FIELD ATHLETICS FACILITIES

Nestled between the Laramie and Snowy Range mountains in southeastern Wyoming, it’s a beautiful, unspoiled place with a special life-style. The campus extends over 785 tree-shaded acres. There’s an attractive mix of modern and traditional structures; many were built with native Wyoming sandstone. It’s a place where the sun shines 320 days each year. It’s hard to be gloomy here. When you view it from 7,200 feet, you see things more clearly. But it’s not just a pretty place; it’s also a place that works. Up-to-date facilities support the learning and research mission that makes UW special. There are classrooms with state-of-the art computer technology, laboratories with the latest equipment, excellent libraries, computer systems with universal Internet access, and a long list of premier research facilities both on campus and in the surrounding area.
