2013 JMU Football Program - 21 academics Student-Athletes Receive Outstanding Academic/Development Services James Madison University has outstanding graduation and retention rates for its student-athletes, and the university’s commitment to academics -- through support services in academic advising and student development -- is a key reason they are successful in the classroom. JMU’s Office of Student-Athlete Services provides comprehensive academic advising to freshmen and upperclassmen without declared majors as members of the univer- sity’s advising system. Advisors provide individual assistance to all student-athletes throughout their college careers, and JMU student-athletes participate in a wide range of counseling and student development, career exploration, leadership and study skills programs. Casey Carter is JMU’s associate athletics director for academic support services Steve Henderson is the associate director. She is assisted by advisors Jennifer Burkhart, Tiffany Hall, Scott Arbogast, Joi Irby, Terrence Apted and Alise Svihla. Suzann Meyerhoeffer is admissions, tutor and housing assistant and Elaine Buthe provides office administrative support. Academic staff members work with student-athletes to develop class schedules and to choose major fields of study; they meet weekly with all first-year student-athletes and student-athletes in academic difficulty; they monitor progress toward graduation according to JMU and NCAA eligibility guidelines; they communicate with faculty regarding academic progress and other issues; and they participate in recruiting. They also facilitate career development by discussing vocational objectives and assisting in preparing student-athletes for employment interviews and recruitment seminars con- ducted by major corporations and firms through the university’s on-campus interview- ing program. Carter and her staff meet each semester with all JMU student-athletes to monitor compliance with NCAA progress-toward-graduation and JMU academic guidelines. The office also coordinates tutoring and lap-top loan programs which provide all student-athletes with tutors and lap-top computers for academics when athletics events necessitate time away from campus. Additional office responsibilities include coordination of nominating student-ath- letes for awards and scholarships and implementing the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, a program designed to provide student-athletes opportunities for personal growth in five commitment areas -- academic excellence, athletics excellence, person- al development, community service and career development. The program focuses on the holistic development of the individual and on the changing needs and skills of that individual in the years during and after college. Carter, Burkhart, Henderson, Apted and Hall are JMU graduates, and Svihla gradu- ated from Virginia Tech. All are National Association for Athletic Academic Advisors members, and Burkhart, Apted and Hall are former JMU student-athletes. In addition to programs available to student-athletes, all JMU students have the opportunity to meet regularly with an advisor from their major field. Student-athletes participate in the university’s orientation program before beginning classes and an orientation experience designed by the student-athlete services office during their first JMU semester. Student-athletes benefit from study halls supervised by advisors, the Greater Madison athletic honors program and NCAA progress toward graduation and degree completion programs. Other programs provided by the university include the following: • An educational skills development laboratory that examines students’ study habits and works to improve listening, note-taking, test-taking, reading and comprehension skills. • A writing laboratory where students receive assistance in building vocabulary and grammar skills and preparing for graduate or professional school examinations. • A reading, writing and mathematics support laboratory that provides assistance to freshmen. • A reading center that provides diagnostic services for students with reading difficul- ties. • A First-Year Involvement program designed to assist freshmen in their adjustment to university life. • An Office of Disability Services that ensures that the university complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to guarantee the rights of all students with documented disabilities equal ac- cess to an education. • A Supplemental Instruction program that assists in student achievement and retention. SI features students helping students complete historically challenging courses.

2013 JMU Football Program - 25 2013 JMU Football Program - 26 strength & conditioning

Strength Program Helps Dukes Reach Their Full Potential JMU football players benefit from a strength training and conditioning program designed to develop all com- ponents of their athleticism. The players work directly with a full-time strength training and conditioning coach assigned to the football program on a full-time basis. JMU is among only a few schools with a person dedicated solely to football in the NCAA’s Football Championship Subdivision. The strength coach works with JMU players daily in and out of season. Those working with football include director Jason Riddell, associate director Jake Patten and assistant director Joe Baroch. “Our goal is to give all athletes the opportunity to reach their full potential while training throughout the year,” said Matthews. “Our strength & conditioning staff as- sesses each athlete’s needs, allowing them to determine the best actions to take in preparing for competition. A program is designed for all athletes and focuses on the key components of strength and conditioning. We believe that the keys to success on the field are better de- veloped by concentrating on building athletes’ strength, speed, power, flexibility, balance and coordination. “Goals are set for all athletes throughout their train- ing cycles, and players must dedicate themselves to our program to reach their potential. They understand what it takes to be competitive; therefore, they must prepare on a daily basis in an intense environment. Training in a team atmosphere can carry over onto the playing field and give us a chance to be competitive every Saturday,” Matthews said. JMU’s program follows what players do on the field with players at each position performing drills adapted from their playbooks. Offensive players execute po- sitional blocking techniques and run paths and pass routes; defensive players simulate various stunts, cover- age routes and pursuit drills. JMU’s football team conducts workouts in the Plecker Athletic Performance Center. The 7,000-square-foot weight room features state of the art equipment to ben- efit each athlete’s needs. There are nine power lift half racks and power racks that are equipped with Ivanko Bumper Plates and E-Z Lift Plates. This equipment is the core of JMU train- ing, along with Hammer Strength and various pieces of Selectorized equipment that is used throughout each athlete’s training cycle. To enhance the form and technique of all of the athletes the strength and conditioning facility has two 45-inch flat screen televisions hooked to digital cameras, allowing the staff to immediately correct any flaws or imperfec- tions during their training routines.

2013 JMU Football Program - 59 marching royal dukes Marching Royal Dukes “And now, presenting ‘Virginia’s Finest,’ The James Madison University Marching Royal Dukes!” This familiar announcement begins each exciting halftime as one of America’s premier collegiate marching bands takes the field with its exciting music and fast-paced drill maneuvers. The 450-member Marching Royal Dukes have come from humble beginnings in 1972 (the first year of JMU football) to quickly move to the fast track of college bands in America. Among their many awards and performances, the MRDs have performed at NFL games in Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Washington. In 1983 they were the featured halftime show for the NFC title game between Washington and Dallas. They have been performers for Walt Disney Productions and several times have been the premier band for the Richmond Christmas Parade. In 1988 and 1991, they were the fea- tured exhibition at the Bands of America Grand National Championships. In 1994 the John Philip Sousa Foundation named the Dukes recipients of the Sudler Trophy, known as the “Heisman Trophy of college marching bands.” In 1997 and 2001, they were featured in the inaugural parades for Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. In 2002 and 2006 they performed at the inauguration ceremonies for Virginia Governors Mark Warner and Tim Kaine. The band has established a strong tradition as ambas- sadors of the university and community. It took its first European tour in 1997 and performed for the closing cer- emonies of the 700th anniversary of the Grimaldi Family in Monaco. In December 2000 the Dukes performed at a New Year’s celebration in Athens before an audience of more than 500,000; in 2001 they performed in the 75th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City; and in December of 2003 they were the featured band for the New Year’s celebration in Dublin. During the 2004 season, the Marching Royal Dukes trav- eled with the JMU football team to perform at the NCAA Division I-AA championship game in Chattanooga, Tenn. The band returned to Dublin for its second New Year’s performance in December 2006 and returned to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2008. The MRDs will take their fifth trip abroad in 2010 as they will travel to London and Paris. The program is supported by the Yamaha Corporation and Zildjian Cymbals and has been used in the international advertising campaigns for both firms. The band is directed by Scott D. Rikkers and Chad Reep is the assistant director. Rick Deloney is the director of march- ing percussion, Ryan Jonker is a percussion instructor and Michael Overman is the percussion front ensemble instruc- tor. Carly Philp and Erin Fairchild are the colorguard instruc- tors, while Julia Urban is the coach of the Dukettes. The JMU band program is also staffed by administrative assistant Connie Driscoll, graduate assistants and a student staff of more than 70 JMU students representing almost every department on campus. And now, presenting “Virginia’s Finest,” the James Madison University Marching Royal Dukes!

2013 JMU Football Program - 66 2004 nATIonAL TITLE

James Madison University football in 2004 made history at the team and national levels. The 13-2 Dukes won the NCAA Division I-AA title with a playoff effort that became increasingly impressive as the postseason pro- gressed. JMU took the national crown without hosting a playoff game, becoming the first Division I-AA team to win three playoff road contests in a season. JMU won with depth and balance, consistent play that included Division I-AA’s second- ranked run defense (86.8 yards per game), good special teams play, and an offense that developed a powerful running attack and avoided mistakes. The Dukes won seven games by 10 or fewer points and were particularly effec- tive late in contests. JMU won 17-0 at Villanova after a scoreless first 36 minutes and beat Massachusetts 28-7 after a 2004 JMU scoreless first 40 minutes. The Dukes won 24-20 at Maine with a touchdown with 0:48 left and beat Results Delaware 20-13 with an 87-yard punt return for a JMU 62, Lock Haven 7 score with 3:04 left and by stopping the Hens after they had a first- JMU 17, Villanova 0 down-and-goal situation from the three during the next drive.

JMU 31, Montana 21 JMU was equally effective during the last three quarters against Montana, running for 314 yards overall and holding the ball for 36:13 of the game’s 60 minutes. JMU’s play helped Mickey Matthews gain Division I-AA coach of the year honors from the American Football Coaches Association, and sev- eral Dukes received major awards. Offensive guard Matt Magerko and free safety Tony LeZotte led the award recipients. Magerko was first-team All-America by Associated Press, and LeZotte was first-team by I-AA.org, second team by Associated Press and Football Weekly and third-team by The Sports Network. Linebacker Kwynn Walton was third-team All-America by The Sports Network, and safety Rodney McCarter was a Football Foundation All-America. LeZotte was the Atlantic 10 co-rookie of the year. Tailback Raymond Hines was team MVP after running for 1,038 yards. He became a starter at midseason when Alvin Banks and Maurice Fenner were hurt and became only the fourth Duke to run for 1,000 yards during a season. Fenner (117 yards at William & Mary, 164 vs. Montana) and Banks (88 yards vs. Montana) stepped back into the spotlight for the final two playoff games after Hines was hurt at William & Mary. Quarterback Justin Rascati threw for 2,045 yards and 14 touchdowns, ran for 10 scores, and was intercepted only five times in 283 passes. Team defensive MVP Trey Townsend and Walton as linebackers, LeZotte, and McCarter led the defense.
