2012 Track and Field Media Packet (1B, 2B, 1A) Roos Field Current Name: MICHAEL & KATHERINE ROOS FIELD (2010-Present) Former Name: ARTHUR C. WOOD WARD FIELD (1932-2009) Nickname: Inferno Seating Capacity: 8,600 Built: 1967 Type: Red Spinturf Roos Field in Cheney, Wash., has been home for the Eastern Wash- ington University football and track and field teams since 1967. Formerly named Woodward Field, the “Inferno” has hosted the WIAA State Track and Field Championships every year since 1996 – a string of 17-straight years with the 1B, 2B, 1A Championships taking place there in 2012. The track was re-surfaced in summer of 2008, but two years later the stadium received an even more significant renovation in the form of a color change. Since graduating from EWU in the mid-2000’s, National Football League offensive tackle Michael Roos and his wife Katherine have established a generous legacy of giving back to their alma mater. That included a $500,000 pledge toward the Red Turf project at EWU’s Woodward Field. The red Sprinturf surface at the “Inferno” was installed in time for the 2010 season. As a tribute to their giving legacy, Eastern re-named Woodward Field to “Roos Field” at a dedi- cation ceremony Sept. 16, 2010, two days prior to the first game played on the new red turf against Montana on Sept. 18. In making the approval of the name change, the Eastern Board of Trustees commended the Roos family’s philanthropic efforts on behalf of Eastern and the community through the Michael Roos Foundation. In addition, Eastern honored Roos by retiring his jersey at EWU’s Homecoming game on Oct. 24, 2009, versus Montana State. Roos was a second round draft choice by Tennessee in the 2005 NFL draft, and has started every game ever since. He earned All-Pro honors in 2008 and played in his first Pro Bowl in 2009. Since he became an offensive lineman as a sophomore at Eastern Washington University in 2002, he has started 179-straight football games in the last 10 seasons (2002-2011), including 35 starts at EWU and 144 as a Titan (29 preseason games, 112 in the regular season, 2 playoff games and 1 pro bowl). Previously, the stadium was named after Arthur C. Woodward, who was head of Eastern’s department of physical education and health for 23 years from 1927 to 1950. He was insistent that every interested student should have the opportunity to engage in competitive sports through intramural activities. He endeared himself to students, and, as a result, Woodward Field – then located where near the EWU library now sits -- was named in his honor in 1932. Woodward passed away of a heart attack on Feb. 2, 1950, just a short time after attending a convocation and rally honoring the Eastern basketball team. 2 | 2012 1B, 2B, 1A STATE TRACK & FIELD 2012 1B, 2B, 1A STATE TRACK & FIELD | 3 Tournament Staff Meet Managers Jay Rydell & Mike VanMatre Nick Bailey – Timer/Umpire Officials Hospitality Cash Stone Duane Biggar – Jumps assistant Entry Coordinator Dave Cook Betty Biggar – Jumps assistant Results Coordinator Megan Lobdell Rod Biggar – Jumps assistant Results/Photo Sales/Spikes Rosee Murray Derrek Berkompas - Umpire Officials Check-In Coordinator Dorothy Stone & Gayle VanMatre Marny Burdega – Throws assistant Head Ticket Manager Caitlyn Hayden Erica Chaney – Throws assistant (Marker) Seeding Coordinator Chuck Bowden, Dennis McGuire Stefan Freitsch – Student workers Running Events Referee Dorris Cronrath Gregory Hinz – Jumps assistant Running Events Referee Phillip Pugh Don Holmes – Throws assistant Field Events Referee George Makela Kathy Johnson/Glaesen – Throws assistant Field Events Referee Lawson Van Kuren Beverly Kile – Main tent Head Umpire Dale Jones Howard Krebs - Umpire Jury of Appeals Ben England Jared Mumley - Results Jury of Appeals Matt Roehl Jerry Martin – Officials Consultant Jury of Appeals Steve Frucci Jim Mickelson - Umpire Jury of Appeals Kyle Rydell Rachelle Pope - Results Finish Line Marshal/Students Linda Lanker Sylvia Quinn - Timer Trainers Coordinator Kyle Havercroft, Rockwood Clinic Steve Quick – Umpire Implement Certification Sanford Khotkieo Chelsea Seidel - Results Implement Certification Marcia Mecklenburg/EWU Throwers Jack Shagool - Timer Head Starter Russ Brantner Jim Stinson - Timer Starter Chuck Bailey Dick Stoddard – Umpire Starter Tom Parish SFC Gene Steger – Timer/Umpire Starter Paul Bodenshot Kadeem Smalls – Results Head Timer/Finish Judge Dick Potter Cara Schlinger – Results Assistant Becky England SSG Ronald Tanner – Timer/Umpire Awards Photographer Ron Swords Dustin Toms - Results Announcer Gary Klassen Jeremy Wheatley - Umpire Assistant Juli Jones Awards Announcer Dave Kommes Special Thanks Awards Coordinator Max Sanchez Action Apparel Site/Facilities Coordinators Kerry Pease, Keith Ross, Ben Franklin – Bill Nation Lawson Van Kuren Brooks Sports Site/Facility Assistants Chad Chambers & Alex Flores Cheney High School Concessions Coordinator Mike Dempsey John Deere –PAPE Machinery-Darrell Moseley-GM Crowd Management Jim Flynn (Staff Pro) EWU Sports and Recreation Center Head Javelin Judge Ruth Van Kuren EWU Track & Field Head Discus Judge Daryl Triplett Kimmel Athletic Supply Head Shot Put Judge Karen Miller Les Schwab Tires, Cheney Head Long Jump Judge Ray Stein Rainbow Racing – Wally Egger Head Pole Vault Judge Ed Brandstoettner & Paul Huffman Rockwood Clinic – Kyle Havercroft Head High Jump Judge Jun Yugawa Spokane Athletic Supply – Jeff Sweat Head Triple Jump Judge Earl Overlie Spokane Regional Sports Commission – Juli Jones Head Clerks Chris Biggar/Sandra Stoddard To All the Student Workers from the schools involved in the meet.
