Jenny Swieton begins her sixth season as Murray State head coach for men’s and women’s cross-country and women’s track & field in the 2015-16 school year.

Swieton came to Murray State in July 2010 and has guided both programs to impressive achievement and progress. She was honored in 2013 as the OVC Women’s Track & Field Coach of the Year after the Racers placed second at the OVC Outdoor Championship.

In the 2014-15 season alone, the women’s track & field team set 10 school records and had 55 performances that ranked in the program’s all-time top-10. The Racers had a pair of OVC Outdoor champions when Brittany Bohn won the steeplechase and Tonia Pratt set the OVC record in the discus. Pratt qualified for the NCAA’s in three events and Ashley Conway qualified for the long jump. Other highlights included Vallery Korir setting the school indoor record in the 5K and the Emma Gilmore setting the MSU record in the mile. Gilmore and Bohn became the first Racers to break 5-minute threshold in the mile. The Racers became the only team in the OVC to score three runners in the mile in back-to-back years.

In 2014 cross country, the Racers were led by a pair of freshmen Meagan Smith and Carolyne Grogan who led the charge of seven runners that moved into the MSU all-time list for the 5k. Additionally, the Racers had two runners make the top-10 list in the 6k. MSU won the Austin Peay invitational with a perfect score led by Emma Gilmore who won top honors. In 2012 Abbie Ashbee-Simmonds broke the school record in the 6k with a 21:35.

In 2014 men’s cross country, the Racers qualified for the NCAA Southeast Regional championship. They won the Austin Peay invitational as Cole Cisneros took first place. In 2013 and 2014, the Racers placed eighth at the OVC Championship, their best finishes since 2008.

The Coach Swieton era has produced some of the greatest success in Racer history. Combining cross country and track & field, she has coached 18 individual OVC Champions and 36 All-OVC selections/top finishers. Additionally, the Racers have produced 114 MSU all-time top-10 performances in indoor, 73 in outdoor, plus eight in cross country.

The Swieton era stars include Tonia Pratt, a multiple All-OVC selection thrower and 2012 OVC Freshman of the Year. Alexis Love was OVC Track & Field Athlete of the Year in 2012 and 2013 OVC Athlete of the Outdoor Championship. She finished sixth at the NCAA Championships in the 100 and made it to the semifinals in the 200. Love was an All-America in both the outdoor and indoor seasons in 2013. She competed at the United States Olympic Trials.

In the cross country arena, Coach Swieton has guided All-OVC performers Katelyn Jones (2010), Carolyn Tanui (2011, 2012), Abigail Ashbee-Simmonds (2012) and Emma Gilmore (2013).

The Racers are also performing in the classroom. Both MSU cross country teams were named as 2014 Division I All-Academic Teams by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. The men’s team posted the fourth highest team GPA in all of Division I and Jarred Koerner was named as COSIDA Academic All-District. The men’s cross country has also won two OVC academic awards, with the latest coming in 2014-15. In 2010 Kristin Reffett was a CoSIDA Academic All-America selection.

Swieton’s teams have been honored four times with the OVC Team Sportsmanship Award. This included women’s cross country and indoor track & field in 2011, outdoor track & field in 2012 and indoor track & field in 2015.

2015-16 RACERS TRACK & FIELD 51 Track & Field Facilities Marshall Gage Track Without question, Murray State’s track facilities are some of the finest in the nation, and the most outstanding in the region. The centerpiece of the track and field facilities is the nine-lane-state-of-the-art running surface. Originally built in 1973 as part of the Roy Stewart Stadium construction project, the track was initially surfaced with a Rekortan running surface used in the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. Recently the surface was replaced again giving the Racers a brand new track to practice and compete.

MSU alum Marshall Gage was the primary donor and fund raiser for the first resurfacing project and continues to be a great supporter of the program. So much in fact, the track was named in his honor in 1996.

Gage ran for the Racers from 1957-61 as a sprinter and hurdler. Gage was the only runner in the 1959 Ohio Valley Conference Championship to win three events, placing first in the 100-yard dash, 120-yard high hurdles and 220-yard low hurdles.
