Joe Falcon - 1987 One of the most decorated distance runners in Arkansas history, Joe Falcon compiled seven NCAA titles, 15 SEC crowns and was named an All-American 11 times. He was the 3,000-meter champion in 1987 and 1988, indoor mile champ in 1988, outdoor 10,000-meter champion in 1987, outdoor 1,500-meter champion in 1988 and NCAA cross country cham- pion in 1987. His NCAA win in 1987 propelled Arkansas to its third NCAA Cross Country team title. Falcon and the squad recorded a team score of 87 to edge out Dartmouth (119 points). Falcon was ranked among the top distance runners in the world throughout his career by Track and Field News, including a No. 1 ranking at 5,000 meters in 1989 and 1,500 meters in 1990. He was the champion of the annual Oslo Dream Mile in 1990 in Oslo, Norway with a time of 3:49.31, a race that saw his fastest 1,500-meter split: 3:33.6.

Godfrey Siamusiye - 1995, 1996 A two-time Olympian for his native Zambia, Godfrey Siamusiye competed at 5,000 meters in the 1992 Barcelona Games and in the 3,000 meter steeplechase at the 1996 games in Atlanta. He fi nished 10th in his semifi nal heat of the steeplechase with a time of 8:37.41. At Arkansas he was a two-time NCAA Champion in cross country (1995-96), and a back-to- back champion in the outdoor 10,000 meters (1995-96). Siamusiye’s race win in 1995 led Arkansas to its eighth NCAA Cross Country team title. The ‘95 squad scored 100 points to beat Northern Arizona’s 142 points. Arkansas earned an NCAA runner-up fi nish in the team race behind Siamusiye’s win in 1996. His individual exploits translated into team success for Arkansas. He was a member of four NCAA-title teams as the Razorbacks pulled off the national triple crown in 1995 and captured the 1996 outdoor crown. Siamusiye also helped Arkansas to fi ve SEC team titles, the league triple crown in 1995 in addition to the 1996 cross country and outdoor team honors.

In a re-dedication ceremony held Feb. 12, 2011, during the 2011 Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, the Randal Tyson Track Center was rec- ognized as “The Home of the Fastest Indoor Track in the World.” The Razorbacks’ home indoor track was resurfaced prior to the start of the 2011 track and fi eld season. In 2000, the Randal Tyson Track Center fi rst opened on the University of Arkansas campus with the specially designed track, originally built by Mondo for the World Championships in Toronto, Canada. Since opening, the Razorbacks’ home facility has played host to several world-class indoor meets, including six SEC Championships—most recently, the 2011 indoor conference meet—and 10 NCAA Championships. Widely considered as the fastest indoor surface ever constructed, the Tyson track has been home to numerous world records, American re- cords and an impressive 65 percent of all current NCAA Championship meet records. Arkansas will increase its number of national hosting duties to 11 with the 2013 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships which will be held March 8-9, 2013, in Fayetteville. In its fi rst year of operation, the $8 million facility hosted the Ty- son Invitational, a meet on the Golden Spike Tour, the 2000 Southeastern Randal Tyson Track Center All-Time Attendances Conference Championships and the 2000 NCAA Indoor Championships. In 2001 and 2002, the Randal Tyson Track Center once again served as the Att.

70 ARKANSASRAZORBACKS.COM ARKANSAS MEN’S TRACK AND FIELD || 2012-13 MEDIA GUIDE Legendary University of Arkansas cross country and track and fi eld head coach John McDonnell an- nounced his retirment on April 21, 2008 following 36 years, 40 NCAA championships and 84 conference titles. McDonnell’s 40 national titles are more than any coach in any single- gender program in the history of collegiate athletics. He won fi ve na- tional triple crowns, 21 conference triple crowns, 34 consecutive cross country conference championships, including 17 straight in the Southeastern Conference, and has been named national, regional or conference coach of the year a total of 140 times. From County Mayo, Ireland, McDonnell became head cross country coach of the Razorbacks in 1972, and head track and fi eld coach in 1977-78. Since 1984, he won 19 national championships in indoor track, 10 in outdoor track and 11 in cross country. Since 1984, a total of 69 national titles have been SScottcott MMacPhersonacPherson aandnd JohnJohn McDonnellMcDonnell awarded in those three sports, and McDonnell’s teams won all but 29 of them. His fi ve national triple crowns came in 1984-85, 1991-92, 1992-93, 1994-95 and 1998-99; his 84 league titles include 46 in the SEC and 38 in the Southwest Conference, and a streak of 25 straight in all three sports from 1987-95; his 40 national championships include a string of 12 straight indoor titles from 1984-95, the longest streak of NCAA titles by any Division I school in any sport in collegiate history; and his teams have won at least one national championship in 21 of the last 26 years. McDonnell, who earned his bachelor’s degree from Loui- siana-Lafayette in 1969, and coached at New Providence (N.J.) High School (1969-70) and Lafayette (La.) High School (1971) before coming to Arkansas, has won 16 more national titles than his next closest competitor (Pat Henry, LSU and Texas A&M), and only one other school, Texas-El Paso with three, has won a triple crown. In addition to the championships, his list of honors in- cludes membership in the halls of fame for National Track and Field, United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA), USA Track and Field, Arkansas Sports and Louisiana-Lafayette as well as the University of Arkansas JJohnohn McDonnellMcDonnell andand AndyAndy McClaryMcClary Hall of Honor. Arkansas’ 7,000-seat outdoor facility, John Mc- Donnell Field, is named in his honor. A 30-time national coach of the year, 50-time conference coach of the year and 62-time region coach of the year, he coached all but three of Arkansas’ 187 All-Americans. Those student-athletes combined to earn 656 All-America honors. He also coached 25 Olympians, including a gold, silver and bronze medalist, 103 NCAA individual event champions and 326 individual event conference champions. McDonnell won 46 of a possible 51 SEC championships (90 percent), including the 2008 indoor and outdoor conference titles. McDonnell, who coached former Razorback Daniel Lincoln to the American record in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in July 2006, has been national coach of the year 12 times in indoor track, 11 times in outdoor track and seven times in cross coun- try for a total of 30 awards. He was also been named the NCAA Mideast Regional Coach of the Year three of the fi ve years it has been presented (2003-05). His tenure at Arkansas began in 1972 coaching cross coun- try and assisting Ed Renfrow with the track program. When Renfrow left coaching, former Athletic Director Frank Broyles promoted McDonnell in time for the 1977-78 academic year. MMikeike CConleyonley andand JohnJohn McDonnellMcDonnell

Not only does the University of Arkansas allow its student-athletes to compete in two sports, it encourages it. Arkansas’ legendary track and fi eld program has combined forces with the Razorbacks’ tradition-rich football program to provide student-athletes a chance to compete in the nation’s most competitive conference in multiple sports. Most recently, two-sport standout Cobi Hamilton used his athleti- cism on the track and on the football fi eld. During the 2010 season, Hamilton was a member of Arkansas’ 4x100-meter relay that advanced to the NCAA Championships. UA’s most well-known two-sport star, and perhaps the greatest athlete in school history, is Clyde “Smackover” Scott. After a year of playing for the Naval Academy, he returned to Arkansas and helped the Hogs win the Southwest Conference football title in 1946 and was a consensus All-American in 1948. A NCAA champion in the 110-meter hurdles, he fi nished second in that event at the 1948 Olympics, winning a silver medal in London with a time of 13.7 seconds. Offensive guard Tony Ugoh gave Arkansas strength in the throws de- TTonioni UgohUgoh partment, helping rack up points in the weight throw at the 2006 SEC Indoor Championships. Two-time All-American sprinter and cornerback Ahmad Carroll was the 25th pick of the fi rst round by the Green Bay Packers in 2004. Flanker Richard Smith was a two-time All-American in the long and triple jumps as a Razorback and signed with Kansas City in 2004. Split end Tom Crowder (Dallas) and cornerback Eddie Jackson (Miami) were also taken in the 2004 NFL draft. Jackson was an All-American hurdler, while Crowder was a decathlete.
