Outlook New coach Joe Dunham inherits a Central College women’s track and field team that’s back on the upward climb. The 2009 squad may lack depth in some areas, but the Dutch return 18 letterwinners, including three members of last year’s record-setting 4x400-meter relay team and provisional NCAA Division III meet qualifiers in three other events. The biggest chore will be filling the spikes of graduated Iowa Conference MVP Kari Hutchinson, who won the league hep- tathlon while placing in five other events. But Central returns some key performers. “We’re excited about the energy our leaders bring to the team,” Dunham said. The Dutch are getting a boost from enhanced facilities as well. After adding a new Balsam outdoor track and new weight event throwing stages to Ron and Joyce Schipper Stadium two years ago, in January Central completed installa- tion of a new Mondo SX 200-meter indoor track in H.S. Kuyper Fieldhouse as well as a new javelin runway for the outdoor venue. The indoor surface—the same that was used in the Beijing Olympics last summer—is more forgiving than the old and ideal for training as well as competition. “It’s unbelievable,” Dunham said. “The kids have been smiling ever since it was installed. We’ve been able to increase our workout intensity immediately and still recover more quickly.” Dunham said the javelin runway was the lone missing piece in the outdoor facility. “The javelin runway brings our facility up to the national level,” he said. The Dutch are rising to that level as well. Central was second in the Iowa Conference outdoor meet last year and fin- ished 19th in the Division III power rankings.

Sprints Sophomores Emily Teas and Jill Ziskovsky had impressive rookie seasons. They’ll get help in the 100 and 200 meters from freshmen Liz Hasenmiller, Ashley Lippincott, Amanda Mosinski, Abby Sohn and Caitlin Wilson, while freshman Cory Bacon will join the squad following basketball season. Teas was sixth in the 200 at the Iowa Conference meet. Most of those athletes will run the 400 meters as well, along with juniors Rachelle Tipton, Carissa Bentz and Angie Latta as well as freshman Felicia Shunk. Teas placed fourth in the league 400 and Tipton was eighth. Teas and Ziskovsky helped the 4x100-meter relay unit finish second at the conference meet. Meanwhile Teas, Ziskovsky and Tipton are back from the league champion 4x400-meter squad. The unit set a school record of 3:51.04 and

XXIV Women’s track and field qualified for the NCAA national meet. “We’ll be real solid in the 4x100 as well as the 4x400,” Dunham said.

Hurdles Bentz, Shunk, Bacon and freshman Megan Stoulil will likely compete in both the 100 meter hurdles and the 400 meter hurdles. Freshman Taylor Schuelke will join them in the outdoor season but entered the indoor campaign sidelined by injury.

Middle-distance and distance events Central appears to be stronger in the 800 and 1,500 meters with junior Liz Arentsen, sophomores Tipton, Sara Crippen, Meghann Burt and Eve Reinhold and freshmen Sara Davis, Melanie Louis and Maggie Wehde. Senior Jess Clark, a two-year team cocaptain, smashed the 3,000-meter steeplechase record last year (11:17.1) and finished second at the conference meet. The distance corps also gets a big boost from the return of junior cross country runners Angie Berry, Amy Ledvina and Heather Shives, who were in Europe last spring through the Central College Abroad program. Berry won the conference 5,000-meter title as a freshman in 2007. Also back are juniors Connie Eshelman, Jenni Hufford, Amber Mayer and Kelsey Tompkins, along with sophomores Claudia Garcia and Molly VonHolten. Newcomers include Kate Callan. “We’re excited about where we’re going and the leadership of Jess (Clark) and Angie (Berry),” Dunham said.

Throwing events Two-year team cocaptain Rachel Boeke was a provisional national meet qualifier in both the discus and shot put last season. She was fifth in the conference in those events as well. Also back are senior Danielle Francois and junior Ashley M. Feldman along with freshmen Judy James and Megan Kittleson. Those athletes will compete in the hammer throw as well while sophomore Kelsey Peterson is the lone returnee in the javelin. Dunham said he’ll likely recruit some additional javelin throwers from within the squad. “Rachel Boeke is one of the top throwers in the conference and worked extremely hard in the off-season,” Dunham said. “And Danielle Francois has improved dramatically.”

Jumping events Ziskovsky won a conference title in the long jump as a freshman last season (17 feet, 6.75 inches) while junior Alicia Dusenbury placed seventh in the triple jump. The Dutch have little depth in either event, however. Ziskovsky will also compete in the high jump with Wilson and Shunk. “I’m looking forward to seeing what Alicia Dusenbury can do after being abroad (fall semester),” Dunham said. “Caitlin Wilson and Jill Ziskovsky, with her athletic ability, will be fun to watch as well.” Junior Ashley L. Feldman finished second in the league pole vault last season. Sophomore Kelsey Manecke, coming off an injury-plagued freshman season, and freshman Liz Hasenmiller will also try the event. “We’ve got some good young pole vaulters,” Dunham said. “They’re just starting to learn the event. It’s going to be a year where they’ll grow and continue to improve.”

Heptathlon With expert instruction from renowned multi-events coach Guy Mosher, Central will seek to continue its successful tradition in the heptathlon. The Dutch have won the heptathlon in four of the six years it’s been contested at the league meet. Ziskovsky placed third in the conference last year while Wilson is also training to compete.

The season Defending conference champion Wartburg is a solid favorite to repeat, with Loras and Luther pushing for second. “We want to be in the top part of the conference again,” Dunham said. “That’s what we’re hoping for.” Dunham thinks the Dutch can make noise at the national level again as well. And after a brief hiatus from coaching, he said he’s convinced he made the right decision in signing on to lead Central’s men’s and women’s programs. “It’s everything I was hoping it would be,” he said. “I’m excited to be part of a team again, to be at practice and be involved in these kids’ lives. “I’m so anxious to get going with meets that I can hardly stand it.”
