The Trojans have won far more NCAA team and individual titles combined than any other university. However, the most dominant force in USC’s slate of athletic programs is not the baseball team (12 College World Series titles) or the football squad (nine national championships) but the men’s track and fi eld program, with an unprecedented 28 NCAA titles (including nine straight, 1935-43). In fact, in the history of the NCAA, only the Oklahoma State wrestling program (31) has more national titles than USC men’s outdoor track and fi eld. Trojan athletes have dominated the track and fi eld scene for decades. From the exploits of sprinter Charlie Paddock and thrower Clarence “Bud” Houser in the 1920s and 1930s, sprinter Mel Patton in the 1940s, thrower Parry O’Brien in the 1950s,sprinter Lennox Miller and pole vaulter Bob Seagren in the 1960s, sprinter Quincy Watts in the 1980s, to four-time NCAA hammer champion Balazs Kiss (only the fi fth collegian to win four in a row) in the 1990s and World Champion hurdler Felix Sanchez in the 2000s, USC is synonymous with track and fi eld excellence. TROJAN PROGRAM IN GOOD HANDS WITH SMITH GILBERT - USC Director of Track & Field Caryl Smith Gilbert is in her second season at the helm of the Trojans’ track and fi eld program. Already she has guided the women’s team to the 2014 and 2015 MPSF indoor titles, their fi rst two seasons in the conference. The men’s team placed second at the MPSFs in 2015, their fi rst year com- peting in the conference. She has also been named the 2014 and 2015 MPSF Women’s Indoor Coach of the Year, the 2014 and 2015 USTFCCCA West Region Women’s Indoor Coach of the Year and the 2014 USTFCCCA West Region Women’s Outdoor Coach of the Year. She was named the USC Director of Track & Field on June 17, 2013, following the retirement of Ron Allice who guided the pro- gram for 19 seasons.

  • Outdoor Track and Field DIVISION I WOMEN’S
    Outdoor Track and Field DIVISION I WOMEN’S Highlights Henry Hauls Down Yet Another Crown As Texas A&M Rolls To Second Straight Men’s And Women’s Titles: Legendary college track coach Pat Henry and his Texas A&M Aggies swept the men’s and women’s team titles for the second year in a row on June 12 at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field. Henry now has 19 outdoor team titles and his latest two were masterfully executed. The Texas A&M men won the fi nal event on the track, the 4x400 relay, to edge Florida by a single point, 55-54. The Gators fi nished third in the relay and were .21 seconds behind second-place Mississippi State. But even after that race was over, it took the offi cial results of the long jump to sort out the overall winner. The Aggies were nearly fl awless on the women’s side, securing 22 points in the 200 meters on the fi nal day and fi nishing with 72 to beat hometown favorite Oregon, second with 57. Texas A&M also won the 4x100 relay and fi nished second to Oregon by a whisker in the 4x400. “It’s about team eff orts, ups and downs, and it’s about responding to ups and downs,” Henry said. “All year long, this has been a unique group of guys and women.” The women lost Natasha Ruddock and Gabby Mayo - big projected scorers - to injury. And still, the Aggies found a way to score more points than any team has at the NCAA meet since 2002.

    NACAC NEWSLETTER December 2015 Volume 2 Edition 3 1 NACAC NEWSLETTER December 2015 Volume 2 Edition 3 IN THIS ISSUE President Message 3 General Secretary Report 5 Athletics Canada: A year to remember 7 NCAA Top OECS Athletes 8 NACAC Athletes of the Year 13 CADICA Championships 14 Women Commission Report 15 Sponsors 16 2 NACAC NEWSLETTER December 2015 Volume 2 Edition 3 PRESIDENT MESSAGE It is hard to believe that we are less than one week away from the end of the 2015 year that, not only flew by, but it was full of a mix of great news and unfortunately bad news. Nevertheless, when we look at the balance of achievements and accomplishments of both the NACAC AA and Athletics as a whole, it is positive due to our athletes from grassroots to high performance. It was a year full of expectations due since there were Continental Areas Election Congresses in all six Area Associations and, moreover, there were elections for all the IAAF elected positions including, for the first time in many decades, two great individuals were running for the presidency of the IAAF. These particular situations kept everybody in a stage of expectations and busy either campaigning or trying to define each one particular individual future. I do not have to go over the outcome or specific results of the different elections since you all know those results but I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all those individuals who ran for elected positions at all levels and were elected and also congratulate those who put their name forward for elections and did not get elected.

Price The Present Classification 37 Support Heather Hart, Steffani Jemison, and Jina Valentine The Path and the Flash A conversation with Paul Pfeiffer Editioned Postcard Exhibitions from the Archives by Maria Elena González Oral History From the Board Leadership Dear Friends, Whether you are an artist or an art lover, if you are reading this journal you share our belief that it is crucially important to support the future for artmaking. Since 1946, Skowhegan has played an essential role in contemporary culture by providing emerging artists with an intensive nine-week session that is immersive and often transformative. Year after year we are impressed by the caliber, commitment, and enthusiasm of the participants who truly make the most of their time on campus. This summer was no different. As evidenced during Trustees’ and Governors’ weekend, the class of 2012 embraced their summer and took maximum advantage of Skowhegan’s resources. We could hardly take a step without encountering a performance, installation, or event, and there was a palpable sense of the strong camaraderie that was forged by this intergenerational group of artists. Also of great interest was an exhibition of recently re-discovered landscape works made on campus in the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s.
