  • Charlotte 49Ers Athletic Foundation Membership Guide
    CHARLOTTE 49ERS ATHLETIC FOUNDATION MEMBERSHIP GUIDE MESSAGE FROM THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR Thank you for your support of the Charlotte 49ers! This membership guide outlines the mission of the Athletic Foundation and the benefits of being a member. Before coming on board, I spoke with people throughout the conference and across the nation, and their assessment was clear -- this is a program with a strong foundation and gold mine potential. Since my arrival, I’ve been visited by friends and colleagues who were able to see campus for the first time – and they have been blown away. What we have here, and what we should be proud of, rivals the campuses and facilities of many schools in “Power Five” conferences. We offer more than beautiful surroundings, though, because in the end, it’s always about our student-athletes. Our track and field team took the lead by winning Conference USA Championships in women’s cross-country, men’s indoor track and men’s outdoor track. Four track and field athletes earned NCAA all-America honors, along with women’s cross country runner Caroline Sang, who claimed both the C-USA and NCAA Southeast Region individual titles. Three student- athletes -- softball’s Haley Pace and Bailey Rhoney and men’s soccer’s Callum Montgomery -- were named CoSIDA Academic all-Americans for displaying excellence on the field and in the classroom. Our student-athletes donated over a record 5,000 hours of community service. In the classroom, we had a Conference USA-high 74 student-athletes earn the Commissioner’s Academic Medal with a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or better.
