What brought you back to Emporia State? First of all, anytime you get a chance to come back to your alma mater as the head football coach, it really is a dream come true and it is something I always thought about ever since I got into the profession. Second, along with being a great University and a great community, I think this is a great location to recruit kids too, to get an education and play football.

What are your goals for the 2009 season? We definitely want to improve from last year. We lost three games by eight points or less and we need to improve on that. We need to begin to win those close games and beat an opponent that everybody else perceives us to be an underdog to. We have different goals within our program, but definitely would like to be in post season play this year whether it’s the play offs or a bowl game.

What most excites you about your third season? We’re beginning to look at our team picture and see 80-85% of the team begin to be players we recruited and watching the steps they have taken to become good football players. We are still relatively young so it’s exciting to continue to watch them compete and develop.

What should fans expect to see out on the field when they come to Welch Stadium? We definitely want to be a team that plays with a lot of enthusiasm and energy. We’ll respect our opponents, but want to have the attitude that we will never take the field without the belief that we will win.

How do you want the typical Hornet football player to be per- ceived? A player that has a strong work ethic, is concerned about his teammates and is mentally and physically tough. Along with having the right type of character off the field.

When a player graduates from you program, what do you want them to remember from it? I definitely want our player to have the same type of experience that I did as a student athlete at ESU. We want to be proud not only of our football program but of this great institution. We want them leaving here with a sense of pride that their alma mater is Emporia State University. We want them to be leaders in their communities and be a positive impact in everything they want to do in life. Head Coach Garin Higgins with wife Heather and children (l-r) son Halen, daughter Gracyn and daughter Harlee 13 ESU Football

The Hornet Vision The Hornet football program will be respected as one of the very best colligiate programs in in the country. We will help young men achieve thier highest potential in the classroom and on the field. The program will move fast in a positive direction by creating a culture of excellence and tradition. We will abide by the power of the “E.”

A year after becoming the first eight seed to advance to the MIAA Tournament Championship Game, the Hornet men finished third in the MIAA during the regular season with an 18-10 record. Lamar Wilbern finished in the top ten of the MIAA in scoring and rebounding on his way to second-team All-MIAA honors while Robert Moores led the nation in three point shooting accuracy. The Hornets were 12-2 in the confines of White Auditorium and were 16th in the nation in average attendance last season. Josh Honeycutt provided the highlight for the indoor track & field season, winning the national championship in the triple jump. His effort led the Emporia State men to a 14th place showing nationally. The ESU men had six individual championships and six runner-up performances as they finished second at the MIAA Indoor Championships. Vincent Howze led the Hornets with 21 points at the meet to earn MIAA Freshman of the Year honors. The ESU women finished sixth in the MIAA team standings, just one point out of fifth, after placing second last season. Katie Mona won the women’s Freshman of the Year award with 18.5 points.

The spring seasons again brought great success to Emporia State, highlighted by a national runner-up finish for the Hornet baseball team.

ESU won their second straight MIAA regular season championship before dropping four of eight games to end the regular season and bowing out of the MIAA tournament after just two games. The Hornets entered the NCAA South Central Regional as a fourth seed and opened the tourney with a 23-0 win over two seed Angelo State. ESU would go on to out-score their opponents 57-19 in five games at the regional, including a 15-6 victory over host Central Missouri in the championship game. In their second trip to the D-II World Series in four years, the Hornets defeated Grand Valley State, Mesa State and UC-San Diego before falling 2-1 to Lynn in the national championship game. Conner Crumbliss earned All-American honors for ESU and was drafted by the Oakland A’s after setting numerous hitting records at ESU. The Hornet softball team battled through the loser’s bracket to pick up their sixth straight MIAA tournament title. ESU has gone 26-1 in the MIAA tournament over the last six years. With the tourney win the Hornets advanced to the NCAA tournament for the seventh time in school history. Miranda Campbell was named a Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American for the second straight year. Six Hornets scored individual championships and Emporia State had nine other runner-up finishes at the MIAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. As a team ESU placed third on the men’s side and sixth with the women. The Hornet men placed 15th at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, the third straight year they have placed in the top 20 nationally, while the women were 36th. With a move to a new region came a reduction in the number of tennis teams that could qualify for the national tournament. For the first time since 2004 that neither ESU tennis team advanced to the NCAA tournament. Kevin Schoon was named the MIAA Sportsmanship Award in a vote of the league coaches and players. It is the third straight season an ESU player has earned that award.

Emporia State excelled in the classroom as well with 19 Emporia State student-athletes named MIAA Scholar Athletes during 2008-09. To earn this distinction, student-athletes must have a cumulative 3.50 grade-point average and earned All-MIAA honors in their sport over the past season. ESU is ranked tenth in the nation in producing Academic All-Americans named by CoSIDA in the 21st century. Hornet student-athletes have been named Academic All-America 16 times since 2000. Over half of the Hornet student-athletes made the ESU Athletic Director’s Honor Roll with a 3.00 GPA over the previous semester.

All of the success on the field and in the classroom showed up in the attendance figures as well. Over 110,000 fans turned out for ESU home athletic events during the school year with volleyball, football, men’s and women’s basketball and soccer all ranked in the top 35 nationally. The Hornet volleyball team set an MIAA single match record when 2,432 showed up for their MIAA championship clinching match against Washburn. ESU also drew over 2,000 for their regional final against Truman and ranked second in the nation in average attendance. The Lady Hornet basketball team ranked in the top six of the nation in average attendance for the 12th straight year. This is the sixth-straight year in which ESU has gone over 100,000 in total attendance in all sports combined.

“Yaps, Yellow Jackets and Hornets” Here come the Hornets! Go Hornets Go! How did Emporia State Uni- versity really get to known as the Hornets? A casual conversation between Vic Trusler and an Emporia Gazette reporter named Cecil Carle led the establishment of the Hornets as Empo- ria State’s mascot. In the early 1930’s, the Teachers College students were called the Yaps. It is uncertain why the students were called that except popular legend suggests that because they were teachers, they did a lot of “yapping.” In any case, most of the students were not fond of the moniker. Trusler, a legendary figure on campus in the “30’s,” and coach at Roosevelt High School, and Carle, without design, were instrumental in getting the name changed. Carle was seeking information on the official name of the Roosevelt High School team. Trusler suggested he call the Roosevelt team the Bluejackets since they wore blue jerseys. In that momentous conversation, Trusler further commented that the students at the Teacher College really did not like being called the Yaps. Instead he suggested they be called the Yellow Jackets because the men wore yellow sweaters with black stripes on the sleeves. And, like the insect, they had quite a sting to them. Nothing further was said, but the next Gazette article about the Teachers College referred to the students as Yellow Jackets. The evolution of the name Yellow Jacket to Hornet is almost anti-climatic. A lack of newspaper space forced the Yellow Jacket to be shortened to Harnet. For a while the two names were interchanged and used throughout the state. To further cement the Hornet tradition, the football team received new uniforms in 1936. They were almost entirely black prompting some to suggest that the team be called the Mud Daubers, which are yel- lowjackets, which are hornets, which game more sting to the legend. “Corky” first appeared on the scene in 1934 when Paul Edwards, then a sophomore, made what he thought was a more representative figure of the school mascot than the strereotyped hornet being used. He entered it in a contest and finished second. Not to be discouraged Edwards redrew his hornet and showed it to Ray Maul, then manager of the Memorial Union, who thought he could “use the buzzard.” The Corky figure would soon become popular on campus. Edwards liked his Corky so much he patented the bug in 1936, which dated its 50th anniversary to 1986. During Homecoming 1987, Edwards dedicated a Corky the Hornet statue he sculpted and is now on display in the Memorial Union Bookstore. A large number of Corky’s cropped up beginning in 2003 during a Parade of Corkys throughout Emporia and many of them are still on display in the community.

The Corky Tradition ----- The Sting Lives On!

Over the last three years, Emporia State has implemented several projects to upgrade their facilities. The projects continue to give Emporia State some of the finest venues in NCAA Division II.

The Emporia State Athletic Department recently announced plans to renovate and expand the ESU Athletics Weight Room into one of the top facilities in the MIAA. The renovation will expand the current “Hornet’s Nest” from 2,460 square feet to over 4,300 square feet and includes state of the art equip- ment. That will place ESU in the top third of the MIAA in terms of weight room size. When the current Hornet track and field weight room, located on the lower level of the HPER Building, is added to the total ESU will have over 6,000 square feet dedicated to athletic strength and conditioning.

Opened in 1937 and dedicated in 1960, Welch Stadium sits just north of beautiful Lake Wooster in the heart of the ESU campus. Crowds as large as 10,000 fans have watched games when bleachers were added in each end zone. Permanent lighting makes it possible to televise games and play at night.

The facility also has been used extensively by individuals outside the University community. Welch Stadium is the home field of the Emporia High School football team and has hosted the Hershey Track and Field State Championships, Special Olympics, the 1998 and 2004 Kansas Shrine Bowl. The 1995, 1999 and 2006 NCAA Division II National Track Championships were held here as well.

A new Super Turf playing surface was installed at Welch Stadium in the fall of 2005. The new field is named Jones Field at Welch Stadium in honor of the W.S. and E.C. Jones Testamentary Trust, the lead contributor to the project. The Super Turf surface allows the Hornet football team multiple practices and games in the stadium that were not possible with the natural grass surface.

Zola Witten Track at Welch Stadium was resurfaced over the summer of 2005 as well. The resurfacing prepared ESU as the host site of the 2006 NCAA II men’s and women’s outdoor track and field national championships. The facility hosted the same event in 1995 and 1999.

The Hanna Clubhouse at the Trusler Sports Complex, just north of the ESU campus, has been in place since 2007. The facility houses locker rooms for baseball and softball, as well as coaches offices. It gives Hornet student-athletes on the teams a place to call home before and after games and practices. The second floor of the building serves as an observation deck were fans may have parties.

Throughout NCAA Division II programs, White Auditorium is regarded as one of the premier basketball arenas in the nation. The 69 year old facility was upgraded during the fall of 2008 with a new scoreboard and video board as well as a new color scheme on the arena floor and the throughout the entire building.

The approximately $270,000 improvement project was funded with City of Emporia general fund and Convention and Visitors Bureau money, along with contributions from ESU, the Walter S. and Evan C. Jones Trust, Emporia Sports Promotions, Inc., and Sunflower Gymnastics.

Mounted on the south wall of the arena, the video board displays everything from player photos and statistics to game action from the floor.

John Decker, ESU’s graphic artist, created the color scheme, decorative striping and lettering design which gives the arena its bright new look. The auditorium’s inch-thick maple floor was sanded and refinished as well.

Built in 1940 as a product of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Public Works Administration (PWA), William Lindsay White Auditorium serves the needs of the Emporia community and Emporia State University.

ESU dedicated Milton Tennis Courts in 2004 in honor of former coach George Milton. Milton was a coach at ESU from 1966-99. The facility, located west of the HPER Building on campus, is used by the men’s and women’s tennis program and it hosted the Hornet women’s first ever trip to the NCAA tournament in 2005. The Hornets also play matches at the Emporia High School Courts in northwest Emporia. The EHS complex has 12 lighted courts, allowing for men’s and women’s matches to be played a the same time

Jones Park in northwest Emporia is the home of the Emporia State cross country program. The park provides practice facilities and the host-site for the ESU Invitational, a meet hosted be ESU each year. In 2009 Jones Park will serve as the host site for the MIAA Championships in cross country.

For the first time in the programs eight year history, Hornet soccer will play their entire home schedule on the ESU campus. The ESU Pitch is located north of the HPER Building and provides easy access for Hornet fans.

Emporia State student-athletes didn’t just provide the Emporia community with exciting sports action throughout the year, the Hornets also provided the community with over 2,100 hours of community service during the 2008-09 year.

Working with organizations like the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Special Olympics, Rebuilding Together, Abundant Harvest Food Kitchen and several local elementary schools, the Hornets contributed over 2100 hours of community service. From painting homes for the disadvantaged, cheering on Special Olympics competitors, collecting canned foods and to recycling, Emporia State student-athletes could be seen all around Emporia lending their time.

A total of 19 Emporia State student-athletes were named MIAA Scholar Athletes in 2008-09. To earn this distinction, student-athletes must have a cumulative 3.50 grade-point average in two terms of attendance at the nominating institution, and earned All- MIAA honors in their sport over the past season.

The student athlete advisory committee will be hosting the fourth annual Senior Citizen Prom in early April in the MU Ballroom. This year’s event will feature the Tall Grass Big Band.

”Senior citizens play a big role in all of our athletic events and SAAC wants to show how much we appreciate them,” said former ESU softball player and SAAC member Megan Grisell. “We learned about the senior prom idea at the NCAA Leadership conference and thought this would be a great way to get our new Community and Student Involvement team off the ground.”

Our relationship has been and will continue to be very strong with Emporia. Our teams have been a constant in the community. The teams pay attention to the community perceives them and it is important that we maintain our great relationship.

Construction of project’s first phase is scheduled to begin next spring, and the total project is slated to be complete by fall, 2012. The Memorial Union was constructed in 1925 in memory of the students who fought and died in World War I. Additions were constructed in 1958, 1963 and 1972.

Students approved, 739-181, a fee increase to help pay for the project.

A Lawrence architectural firm, Treanor Architects P.A., designed the renovation plan following a series of meetings with ESU students, staff and Emporia residents.

Included in the renovation: Creation of new student lounge space and performance area Renovation of the current student cafete- ria An addition on the east side of the building featuring a new entrance, information center and Admissions office Redesigned entrances to the building’s west, south and east sides Redesigned meeting spaces and traffic patterns inside the building Environmentally-friendly improvements to the building’s heating, ventilation and cooling systems

The process to get the renovation going has been a long one with the first meeting about the project occurring in 1999. Still, the effort didn’t start in earnest until the fall of 2007

The Memorial Union has a long and storied history on the ESU campus. Originally opened in 1925, the union was built as a tribute to the students who fought and died in World War I. Since then, the union has had four additions.

The current renovation plans aim to make the union into a “living room space” for ESU students, ESU President Michael Lane said.

“I think it’s really critical to our current and future students,” Lane said. “It really is supposed to serve as a functional meeting place, a social place, a gathering place, an eating place for our students as well as our faculty and staff.”

The renovation also looks to make the union a greener building.

“We want to upgrade the windows and lighting to make them environmentally friendly,” Lane said, “as well as more efficient heating and cooling that will be environmentally friendly. The finishes will be done with environmentally friendly materials as well. We want to make the building as green as we can as well as comfortable for our students, faculty and staff.”

In addition, the university is looking to move its admissions office to the union.

“(The union) will become the university’s front door,” Lane said, “and it needs to be attractive to current and prospective students.”

The project has been broken into two phases, with construction on Phase One scheduled to start in spring of 2010. The renovation should be finished by the start of the fall 2012 semester.
