The men also won the basketball program’s 1,000th game at Griswold Center, a 67-54 victory over North Central on Jan. 11, 1995. Three regulation-size basketball courts are located in the fieldhouse portion of the building, which is 114 by 192 feet. The original Tartan surface was replaced by a maple floor in 1989. Seating for 3,082 spectators is available in Griswold Center. In the summer of 2004, new bleachers were installed on the building’s west side. In addition to traditional bleacher seating, fold-down style chairs are also part of the new bleacher design. Griswold Center also houses a six-lane swimming pool, classrooms, offices, locker rooms and a training room. The building is named to recognize the gift of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Griswold.

looking at 2004-05 A tradition of basketball excellence brought them to Millikin as freshmen. Now these student-athletes will learn what its like to play with a bulls-eye on their back. If last year's Top 32 finish in the nation (22-6, 12-2 CCIW), a handful of preseason honors from the most respected predic- tors and a unanimous preseason CCIW title nod are on target, opponents will again be aiming for the Big Blue in 2004-05. Now all head coach Lori Kerans and her squad of seasoned veterans have to do is play up to their own, and the country's, expectations. "We are very excited about the potential of this team. The mix of returning players with quality experience and new players with a willingness to learn is exciting. The off-season and preseason were very effec- tive for us and this team appears to have the height, speed, quickness and strength," Kerans said. "Nonetheless, my coaching experience leads me to believe success is based less on talent and potential and is more directly linked to how well the team works together, and how fully individuals accept their roles as part of the team." After earning a 10th CCIW title and 10th trip to the NCAA Championships, the Big Blue earned marks as high as No. 18 in the preseason polls (d3hoops.com). Heading into the season's opener Millikin players are also garnering national recognition. Senior point guard Audrey Minott has already been named a preseason All- American and the early pick to be the CCIW Player of the Year (both by Women's D3 News). The Big Blue's opponents will have to do a lot more than stop Minott though. Millikin's 2004-05 squad returns intact. And if the starting lineup picks up where last year's 22-6 season left off, juniors Karin Olson, Joanna Conner, Lindsey Koehn and Laura Zimmerman will surround Minott. After its 12-2 CCIW title run, Minott was a first-team All-CCIW selection while Koehn was named to the second team and Conner was listed on the third team. Olson led four players in double-digit scoring a year ago (13.3 ppg, 6.5 rpg). Zimmerman averaged 11.3 ppg and Koehn finished the year at 10.5 ppg and 6.2 rpg. Conner was just behind with 10.1 ppg and a team-high 8.0 rpg. Minott averaged 7.9 ppg and while leading the Big Blue with 92 assists and spearheading the defense with 81 steals. Koehn piled up 72 steals and 68 assists on the year while Olson and Conner picked up 68 and 63 assists, respectively. With 10 of 11 letter winners returning, all of the Big Blue's weapons off the bench are also back in seniors Abby Gerlesits (missed last season studying abroad and nursing an injury) and Kristin Trotter (2.0 ppg) and sophomores Angela Vollmer (team Newcomer of the Year, 5.4 ppg, 3.0 rpg) and Christi Blackburn (2.0 ppg). A solid recruiting class should also play into the success of this year's team, led by Decatur St. Teresa's undefeated IHSA Class A State Championship teammates Lindsay Ippel and Andrea Riebock. In addition to its already strong core of players, the Big Blue could see considerable depth off the bench from its freshmen. The Big Blue open the 2004-05 season at its own Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament on Nov. 19. When the CCIW season gets underway in January, Millikin will be looking for its 11th CCIW title and NCAA appearance under Kerans. The team looks to stay atop the standings and keep its momentum after jumping five spots for the title last year. In 2002-03, Millikin finished 13-11, 6-8 (6th in CCIW) before turning it up a notch and finishing 22-6, 12-2 (1st in CCIW) last year. Will 2004-05 reflect a transition from young talent to viable contender? This is a season you don't want to miss!

big blue athletic facilities Griswold Physical Education Center Griswold Center is perfect for the intercollegiate athlete or intramu- ral player. The Center provides a gymnasium to seat 4,000, a running track and three regulation-size basketball courts. Millikin hosts several high school tournaments and games including the annual IHSA Class A Girls and Boys Supersectionals. The men’s and women’s basketball, women’s volleyball and men’s wrestling teams also compete in Griswold Center’s gym and its six- lane McIntosh Pool is home to the Big Blue men’s and women’s swim teams. The building also houses classrooms, staff offices, athletic training facilities and locker rooms. Just north of Griswold Center, Millikin’s track & field teams take advantage of 1997 renovations that included an eight-lane, all-weather track. The USATF Youth Athletic Championships were held on the track in both 2000 and 2001 and Millikin also hosted the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships in 2001. Several Big Blue teams make use of off- campus facilities. The men’s and women’s tennis teams play and practice at the Fairview Park Tennis Complex, located just across the street from campus. The men’s and women’s golf teams frequent the city’s three golf courses while the Big Blue baseball program calls Sunnyside Park home. The softball team plays its home games at Borg-Warner Sports Complex while the cross country teams do most of their training at Fairview Park on the paved, grass and dirt trails that trace the historic Interurban Railway. The trails lead through Kiwanis Park to the Macon County Conservation District Bikeway to the Rock Springs Environmental Center. The men’s and women’s soccer teams play their home schedule at Stephen Decatur Middle School and also make use of Fairview Park’s spacious areas for practices.

Decatur Indoor Sports Center (DISC) at Millikin Newly constructed in January 2000 in conjunction with the Decatur Park District, the DISC is a 87,000 square foot, on-campus athletic facility. The DISC's new weight rooms are the perfect place for the serious athlete or amateur to work up a sweat. Upstairs facilities include machine weights and cardiovascular equipment while the lower-level room provides an expanse of free- weights and dumbbells. The DISC also features a 200-meter indoor running track. For more information on the DISC, call 217.429.3472. WBB04-05 guide.qxp 11/11/2004 9:42 AM Page 24
