Zola Witten Track at Francis G. Welch Stadium

Zola Witten Track was dedicated on September 18, 1993 and has been the home of the Hornet track and field program since the spring of 1994. More than 285 individu- als contributed to the two-year campaign which began in 1991 to raise $350,000 for renovation of the track facility that is located in and around historic Welch Stadium. ESU Director of Alumni Affairs, Roy Mann, spearheaded the efforts to provide a first-class facility to Hornet athletes and started the successful “Going the Dis- tance” campaign. ESU alum and former physical sciences professor, Gerald Witten, pledged $50,000 to the campaign to name the track Zola Witten Track in honor of his mother. Seven Wittens have received 16 degrees from the institution. Among the improvements: a standard 400-meter track, addition of a triple jump runway on the west side, relocation of the steeplechase pit to the north end of the track, placement of chutes and striping to allow sprints and hurdles on both sides, a wider shot put area, and installation of new lights. Jones Park Fran Welch Stadium/Zola Witten Track Records The Jones Youth Recreation Park in northwest Emporia has been the home course of Hornet Cross Country since 1992. The rolling course MEN begins with a westbound straightaway up a slight incline and then forces a fairly sharp 180 degree turn into the park.

“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 pop- ular legend suggests that because they were teachers, they did a lot of “yap- ping ”. 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 Roos- evelt 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 . In- stead 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 facil- ity 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 soft- ball, 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 where fans may have parties .

Throughout NCAA Division II programs, White Auditorium is regarded as one of the premier basket- ball 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 con- tributions 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 by 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 com- munity service . From painting homes for the disadvantaged, cheering on Special Olympics competitors, collect- ing 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 dis- tinction, 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 how the community perceives them and it is important that we maintain our great relation- ship .
