We have great pride and respect for our rich history of academic excellence and superior athletic achievement. We will continue to uphold these traditions and embrace a broad-based commitment to success as we enter a new era in college athletics. Remarkable student-athletes and leaders have helped define the Pac-12 as the “Confer- ence of Champions” with 455 NCAA titles, by far the most of any conference in the country. And that does not include the 2,715 individual championships our multi-talented student- athletes have won. This talent took center stage at the 2012 London Olympics where 255 of our current or former student-athletes captured 45 medals, including 19 gold, while representing 44 different countries in 18 different disciplines. If the league were a nation, it would have ranked fifth in the total medal count and fifth in gold medals won. I am proud that with this year’s launch of Pac-12 Networks - a wholly independent con- tent organization dedicated exclusively to supporting the missions of the Conference and our member universities – the Pac-12 has made a commitment to provide all our athletic programs with the unprecedented exposure that they and their student-athletes deserve. I was a beneficiary of intercollegiate athletics and am very passionate about the mission and role sports can play as part of a broader academic experience.

We are very proud to be training in the Mary Roby Gymnastics Facility. The new training facility has improved what is already one of the top facilities in the nation, and allows our current and future gymnasts to train at their best. Some of the features of our new facility include: • In-ground Palmer-Stratum spring floor exercise area with adjacent in-ground rod tumbling strip into resi-pit, and tumbling into both a resi-pit and a loose foam pit. • Three uneven bar stations, one equipped with official mats, one set over resi-pit, and a single rail over a loose foam pit. • Six balance beams, including a high beam over a raised platform. • Vault tables with vaulting into both a resi-pit and a loose foam pit. • Digital video motion analysis equipment. As evident in our facility additions, the Wildcat coaching staff and athletics administration are committed equally to academics and athletics. Our university president, Robert Shelton, along with Kathleen LaRose, Interim AD, and the entire campus community are dedicated to developing the total person in each student who becomes a part of the Arizona family. The integrity of Arizona is very evident by the commitment of our administration.
