As you will read elsewhere in this Annual Report, the 2005-06 season was filled with great Badger moments. In November, our men’s cross country team, led by two-time individual champion Simon Bairu, won the NCAA championship. In March, our women’s hockey team won the school’s first NCAA women’s hockey championship with a 3-0 victory over two-time defending champion Minnesota. In April, our men’s hockey team won the school’s sixth NCAA men’s hockey championship with a 2-1 victory over Boston College at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee. And in early June, our women’s lightweight crew won its third consecutive national title at the 2006 Intercollegiate Rowing Association National Championships in Camden, N.J. Four national championships in one year—truly an incredible accomplishment and a credit to the student-athletes and coaches who made it happen. But it also was a credit to those of you who support Badger Athletics throughout the year. None of that success would have been possible without your undying loyalty and support. As we embark on another journey in the 2006-07 season, we again say thank you. Your continued support has enhanced the collegiate experience for all of our student-athletes at Wisconsin.

  • Wisconsin Athletics Master Plan
    FIELD HOUSE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON | ATHLETICS MASTER PLAN77 77 FIELD HOUSE GENERAL OVERVIEW & SUMMARY INTRODUCTION The UW Field House is a 10,600-seat mul -purpose arena in Madison, Wisconsin, directly south of and abu ng Camp Randall Memorial Stadium. In addi on to sports events, the Field House has been the site of large community gatherings such as convoca ons and concerts. Designed by Wisconsin State Architect Arthur Peabody in consulta on, with Paul Cret of Philadelphia, the arena opened in 1930. It was home to the Wisconsin Badgers basketball team before it moved to Kohl Center; currently the building is used by the volleyball and wrestling teams. Prior to occupying the Field House, the Badger men’s basketball team played their games in the Armory Red Gym. The Wisconsin volleyball team got its fi rst-ever sellout on October 21, 2007, to watch the Badgers play No. 1 Penn State. The “W” crest at the top of the Field House, whose actual designer is unknown, is frequently employed as the emblem of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The Field House was added to the Na onal Register of Historic Places in 1998 [2]. GOALS & OBJECTIVES As a central icon of Athle cs and the greater University, preserving this asset is of high importance. Coupled with the restora on of this building, it is necessary to make it highly func onal for Athle cs MASTER PLAN DESIGN CONCEPT / RECOMMENDATIONS Beyond the scope of work recommended for the south sea ng area of Camp Randall (see sec on 3.1) and the associated Club Lounge, full restora on of the exterior facade and windows are a priority.

  • A Star Is Born Shalane Flanagan finds Her Distance
    A Star Is Born Shalane Flanagan finds her distance. BY TITO MORALES hortly after Shalane Flanagan’s marathon debut in New York City, she and her husband, Steve Edwards, boarded a plane for a trip to the Hawaiian SIslands. A few teammates from the Oregon Track Club—Simon Bairu, Tim Nelson, and Lisa Koll—joined them on the getaway. As Flanagan lounged and recuperated on a remote beach in Maui, some 5,000 miles from Manhattan’s Central Park, a couple of tourists approached and gushed, “Oh, you’re that girl who ran the marathon! Congratulations!” “I was literally in a bathing suit, hat, and sunglasses,” Flanagan recalls with a laugh. “I was kind of shocked that they would recognize me.” She shouldn’t have been. While her bronze medal in the 10,000 meters at the 2008 Olympic Games may have made her a star in the eyes of the international running community, it was her scintillating run at one of the highest-profile road races on the planet that elevated her renown to just about everyone else. The runners’ daughter goes long As was detailed in “The Runners’ Daughter” [see the Sept/Oct 2010 issue], Flana- gan’s transformation into a bona fide marathoner was a long time coming. The seed was planted during a childhood spent in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Patri- ots’ Day meant an annual excursion into the city to watch the Boston Marathon. She learned early on of her parents’ exploits as distance runners, and she vividly remembers watching her father compete along the famed Boston course.
