A staple in the region and an emerging program on the nationalQuick stage, the Facts Manhattanville and College Athletic Contents Department continues to bolster its reputation as a program on the rise in all areas: athletic achievement, academic success and overall participation. More than 325 Valiant student-athletes (nearly 20 percent of the student body) took part in intercollegiate athletics during the 2010-11 school year, showcasing the continued and rapid growth of athletics at Manhattanville. With the announcement that the department will begin sponsoring women’s golf starting in 2012-13, the program has expanded to 22 intercollegiate teams – including eight new sports that have been established or re-established since 2007 alone. And teams at Manhattanville do not just compete, they win. Four teams earned conference regular-season or tournament championships in 2010-11 and three Valiant squads (women’s soccer, women’s hockey and men’s golf) appeared in the NCAA Tournament. 13 of 21 Valiant squads earned berths in their respective conference championships last year, including the eighth title in 12 seasons for the women’s hockey team and the second straight title for men’s golf. In addition, a pair of Manhattanville squads (men’s hockey and women’s hockey) spent much of the year nationally ranked while two more programs (men’s basketball and men’s golf) topped the list of teams receiving votes nationally in their respective polls over the course of the year. On an individual level, many Valiant student-athletes were honored in 2010-11 as well, including a pair of Freedom Conference Players of the Year and two Freedom Rookies of the Year to go with 32 combined All-Conference honorees. In the last 10 years, at least 35 former Valiants have gone on to play their sport professionally either domestically or overseas as well. But at Manhattanville, athletics is only one part of becoming a well- rounded student-athlete. In the classroom, Valiant athletes consistently achieve higher grade-point averages than the student body as a whole, Manhattanville Quick Facts: as evidenced by the 3.20 Athletic Department GPA for the Spring 2011 semester and the fact that all but four Valiant teams recorded a team • 22 Varsity Sports GPA of 3.000 or higher for the spring term. In addition, the department • Over 325 Student-Athletes boasted its fi rst CoSIDA Academic All-American in 27 years and a pair of • 8 Sports Added Since 2007 CoSIDA Academic All-District representatives, while the department also shattered its previous best with 114 student-athletes named Academic • 25 All-Americans (21 since 1999) All-Conference honorees. • Over 1,000 Service Hours Per Year Community service also continues to play a vital role in the student- athlete experience at Manhattanville, as each team performs hundreds • Cumulative Department GPA over 3.200 of community service hours each year. In addition to active involvement with many local sports teams and youth organizations both on and off campus, Valiant teams sponsor events such as the women’s basketball “Pink Zone” night and the women’s hockey “Think Pink” event to promote cancer awareness. As a result of these and other efforts, the school “To the valiant of heart, nothing is impossible.” was the recipient of two Jostens/NADIIIAA Community Service Awards in 2009, one of only 13 institutions honored and the only school to receive - Jeanne d’Albret two awards. The service aspect of the Valiant student-athlete experience plays a large role in helping Valiant athletes fulfi ll the college’s mission of educating students to be ethically and socially responsible leaders in a global community.

2011-12 Manhattanville Track & Field Media Guide 1 Manhattanville Athletic Administration Director of Athletics Keith Levinthal Ninth Year • Hobart ’95 Keith Levinthal begins his ninth full year as Director of Athletics at Manhattanville College in 2011-12 and continues to establish the school as a regional and national leader in athletic success, academic achievement and community involvement. The architect and head coach of Manhattanville’s nationally recognized men’s hockey program before stepping aside in October 2011, Levinthal will now concentrate full time on keeping Manhattanville in the local, regional and national spotlight.

Levinthal has led the Valiant athletic program to unprecedented heights in recent years, as Manhattanville has collected 52 conference championships – 26 regular-season championships and 26 tournament titles – in the last eight seasons alone. In that span, the program has also produced 27 conference Players of the Year, 15 All-American selections and one National Player of the Year. As a head coach with the men’s hockey team, Levinthal stepped aside with the most wins of any mentor in Manhattanville department history, posting a 202-84-28 (.688) record in 12 seasons and twice earning ECAC West Conference Coach of the Year honors. He left as the 14th winningest coach in NCAA hockey history (all Divisions) and sixth among Division III leaders in terms of winning percentage, and led the team to four NCAA Tournaments, four ECAC West Tournament titles and a pair of fi rst-place fi nishes in the ECAC West regular-season standings. Under Levinthal’s guidance, Manhattanville as a whole continued its recent string of very successful seasons in 2010-11, as 15 teams participated in conference postseason play and four squads won a conference regular-season or tournament title. The Valiant women’s soccer, women’s hockey and men’s golf teams won conference championships and advanced to the NCAA Tournament during the season, while the men’s basketball team achieved the fi rst D3Hoops.com national ranking in program history and the men’s golf team received votes in multiple national coaches polls for the fi rst time. Off the fi eld, a program-record 114 Valiant student-athletes were named to their respective conference Academic Honor Rolls as well, while the program also earned its fi rst CoSIDA/Capital One Academic All-American selection in 27 years and a pair of CoSIDA/Capital One Academic All-District honorees.

In 2007-08, Levinthal guided the Athletics Department as it transitioned from the Skyline Conference to the Freedom Conference and also reintroduced volleyball and cross country programs to the school. The Valiants saw immediate success in its new conference as two teams clinched Freedom Conference regular-season championships and three programs won conference tournaments in advancing to the NCAA Tournament. The women’s hockey team advanced to the program’s third National Championship game, while the women’s soccer team reached the NCAA Tournament for the fi rst time in program history.

Levinthal also led the Valiants to a record-breaking year in 2006-07, as six teams won conference championships and a program-record fi ve teams qualifi ed for the NCAA Tournament. His men’s hockey team spent 13 consecutive weeks as the top-ranked team in the nation and earned its fi rst-ever berth in the national semifi nals, while goaltender Andrew Gallant became the fi rst Manhattanville student-athlete to be named a National Player of the Year. Six coaches were named as conference Coach of the Year, while a program-best four Valiant student-athletes were also named CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District honorees. And, for the fi rst time ever, Valiant teams won more league championships than any other Skyline Conference team.

Levinthal saw immediate athletic success during his fi rst full year at the helm, as all 14 of Manhattanville’s athletic programs participated in postseason play during the 2003-04 year. Four teams earned bids to the ECAC postseason tournaments, while the women’s ice hockey program earned its third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. In 2004, Levinthal also received the honor of beginning a four-year term on the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Ice Hockey Rules Committee, serving as one of 13 overall members and one of just four from Division III institutions. But in addition to athletic success, at the heart of every successful program lie sound resources for its lifeblood – its student-athletes. Therefore, Levinthal has made it a priority to provide the resources needed to create an environment in which Manhattanville student-athletes can achieve at the highest level in all areas: academically, socially and athletically. A 1995 graduate of Hobart College, Levinthal is committed to developing all aspects of the athletics program. In his tenure at Manhattanville, Levinthal’s agenda has included: Student-Athlete Development - Manhattanville continues to be on the cutting edge in the total development of its student-athletes. Valiant student- athletes have exhibited a strong presence and desire to serve the New York area. All varsity teams participate in outreach activities, positively impacting numerous area youth groups, hospitals, schools and agencies. Professionalism - Under Levinthal’s guidance, Manhattanville athletics received a much-needed face-lift. With a new website, logo, team colors and method of business, he has streamlined and energized the department. The result has been increased exposure to Manhattanville student-athletes, improved performance both on and off the fi eld, and increased support from fans and alumni. Exposure - Manhattanville Athletics continues to maintain a strong presence on national and regional media outlets. Levinthal has helped increase the program’s media opportunities as well as displaying the values of the Valiants constantly in the public eye. Assistant Director of Athletics Julene Fisher Seventh Year • Marymount ’02 Julene Fisher is in her seventh year as Assistant Athletic Director and Senior Woman Administrator, and her ninth year overall within the Manhattanville Athletic Department in 2011-12.

As Assistant Athletic Director, Fisher is responsible for assisting the athletic director in an administrative capacity. She handles the scheduling for all of Manhattanville’s 21 sports and also handles travel accommodations and assignment of the department’s student workers.

A former Assistant Sports Information Director at Manhattanville, Fisher also assists the Sports Information Department by serving as a statistician for home baseball games and select other home contests. Fisher began her tenure at Manhattanville as an administrative assistant in the Manhattanville Development Offi ce before moving over to the Athletic Department. Fisher graduated from Marymount College in 2002 as an English/Journalism major. She served as the editor-in-chief of Marymount’s student newspaper, The Cormont, and also was a four-year letterwinner in both swimming and softball at the school. In television, she worked in conjunction with ABC News, the Discovery Channel and HBO to produce the hit series, “The Justice Files”, as well as HBO’s Emmy award winning documentary “In Memoriam: New York City, 9/11”. 2 2011-12 Manhattanville Track & Field Media Guide Manhattanville Coaching Staff Head Coach Mike Owens Fourth Season • Central Connecticut State ’95 Michael Owens completed his fourth season as head coach of the Manhattanville cross country programs and third year at the helm of the Valiant indoor and outdoor track programs in 2010-11.

As head coach of the Valiant men’s and women’s cross country and track & field programs, Owens has his teams compete against some of the top Division I, II and III teams in the area and worked diligently to turn the nascent teams into competitive squads both in the tough Middle Atlantic Conference and in the region.

The Valiants continued to improve in 2010-11, setting new benchmarks during every season. In the fall, the men’s cross country team placed 37th at the NCAA Div. III Atlantic Regional, becoming the first Valiant team to score at regionals and subsequently the first to be honored as an USTFCCCA All-Academic Team. The firsts continued during the indoor track season, when Morrison Boateng and Christi Marraccini became the program’s first two ECAC Championship qualifiers, and kept going right into the outdoor season, when the men’s 4x400 team became the program’s first-ever entry at the historic Penn Relays.

Owens oversaw the first year-long running season in Manhattanville history in 2008-09, supervising the second season of the reinstituted cross country program while also integrating new indoor and outdoor track programs into the Valiant stable of sports.

In 2008, the women’s cross country team recorded the first meet win in program history with a first-place finish at the Brooklyn Invitational, while both cross country teams scored in five of the seven meets of the year. On the track side, both Boateng and Emelda Ogweta won individual events in the first year of the program.

Owens took over the school’s reinstituted cross country teams in 2007 and brought success to a young program. He led the women’s team to a fourth-place finish among Freedom Conference teams at the MAC Championships, while freshman Julie Hinchey advanced to the NCAA Division III Atlantic Regional meet.

Owens brings a bevy of coaching experience to the young Valiant program, most notably his two-year run as Head Coach at Div. I Fairfield University from 2005-06. With the Stags, six of Owens’ runners cracked the all-time top 20 list in just two years and he placed one runner in the top 20 at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships. Before assuming the top job, Owens served as an assistant with Fairfield during the 2004 season.

Prior to his collegiate coaching career, Owens spent seven years as a high school coach, including the 2002-04 seasons as the Head Cross Country and Track Coach at Wamogo Regional High School in Litchfield, Conn. Prior to his time at Wamogo, Owens was a Volunteer Coach at Housatonic Valley Regional High School in Sharon, Conn. from 1998-2002 and the Head Boys Track and Field Coach at Wolcott High School in 1997.

A standout runner in his own right, Owens has run with the prestigious Westchester Track Club since 2000, one of only 30 United States Track and Field Elite Development clubs in the nation. The club consists of some of the top runners in the nation, including a multi-national group of aspiring Olympians. Owens, who runs with Westchester’s Elite Team, helped the club win the 2006 Boston Mayor’s Cup, one of the biggest cross country races in the nation.

Individually, Owens has run in the 2002 Millrose Games 3K at Madison Square Garden, finished fifth – the top American finisher – at the 2001 Greater Hartford Marathon and has a personal-best marathon time of 2:31. A 1995 graduate of Division I Central Connecticut State University, Owens was a four- time qualifier for the New England Track Championships as a collegian and was the Blue Devils’ top runner as a senior. Assistant Coach Patricia Neubauer First Season • Manhattanville ’11 After a three-year collegiate career running for the Valiants, Patricia Neubauer ’11 remains with the school and begins her first season as an assistant coach with the Manhattanville cross country and track programs in 2011-12.

Neubauer earned nine varsity letters for Manhattanville from 2008-11 after transferring from the University of Potsdam. She graduated with a pair of program-record times to her credit, as she ran the best 1,000-meter time indoors (3:29.58) at the Wesleyan Invitational in 2009 and also set a program record in the 800 meters with a time of 2:48.53 at the Danny Curran Invitational during her first outdoor track season.

An eight-time Middle Atlantic Conference Academic Honor Roll recipient, Neubauer graduated from Manhattanville in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in management. A native of Potsdam, Germany, she currently works for GSM Systems in New York City as a Sales Associate.

MY SOLDIER Manhattanville’s most well-known social action program was founded by a Valiant student-athlete, men’s soccer player Juan Salas, a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Venezuela who saw active combat duty in Iraq and was commended for saving the life of a child during his tour. Salas said his mission in Iraq was to “win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people,” but he continued that while the service was at times challenging, “it was the letters that kept me going. From kids, boy scouts, students. A letter was like a piece of gold, something you want to keep for the rest of your life.” When Salas got back to Manhattanville, he wanted to help his fellow soldiers overseas and approached former College President Richard A. Berman with an idea. Together with Berman and administrator Anne Gold, they launched the My Soldier program on February 14, 2004.
