Linh Nguyen enters his third year as the head coach of UNC Greensboro’s cross country and indoor track and fi eld teams and his fourth year at the helm of UNC Greensboro’s outdoor track and fi eld teams. Additionally, it is Nguyen’s ninth year overall with the Spartans, having served as an assistant coach from 2001-2006.

Under Nguyen’s leadership, the Spartans have produced 24 All-Conference runners, three Conference champions and two NCAA Regional qualifi ers.

In the 2008-09 season, the Spartans continued to see dramatic improvements both as a team and individually. Once again, the men’s cross country fi nish turned in a top-5 perfor-mance for the fi fth straight season. Jermaine Coore was named second-team all-socon and he was named all-freshman along with Joey Thompson. Sherrika Jordan once again led the women’s team as she shattered the previous school record by over 50 seconds. Her fourth place fi nish at the SoCon Championships earned her fi rst-team all-socon honors.

UNCG once again had a strong indoor season in 2009 as they captured All-SoCon and All-Freshman honors on both sides. On the men’s team, Joey Thompson broke the indoor school record in the 3,000 meters and was also named All-SoCon in the event. He earned All-Fresh-man honors in the mile and 3,000 meters too. Taylor Hurst was third at the SoCon Cham-pionships in the 800 meters to earn All-SoCon honors as well. On the women’s side, Kerry Hartman was named to the All-Freshman team in the mile.

Nguyen continued to lead the Spartans to newer heights during the 2009 outdoor season. Joey Thompson continued his impressive freshman campaign as he broke the school record in the 1,500, 3,000 and 5,000 meters. At the SoCon Championships he was named All-SoCon and All-Freshman in the 1,500 meters. AJ Savoia also was named All-SoCon at the event with his fi nish in the 3,000 meter steeplechase and TJ Wyatt was runner-up in the 800 meters to earn All-SoCon honors.

In his second season, Nguyen led the men’s cross country team to a fi fth-place fi nish at the Southern Conference Championships. On the women’s side, Sherrika Jordan became the sev-enth runner in UNCG women’s cross country history to run sub-23:00 in the 6K. Jordan ran 22:58.65 at the NCAA Southeast Regionals, which is eighth fastest in UNCG history.

The 2008 indoor season saw four men’s runners earn All-SoCon honors, including the men’s distance medley relay team earning All-SoCon honors for the fourth time in fi ve seasons. Jess Weber broke the school record in the 800 meters and Josh Wyatt recorded a new record at the 5,000 meters.

During outdoor, the men saw Clyne (800m) and AJ Savoia (3,000m steeplechase) raced their way to All-SoCon distinctions, earning UNCG’s fi rst All-SoCon honors for outdoor in two year. For the women, Weber concluded her career by setting a new record in the 800 meters in her fi nal meet of the season, clocking 2:17.81 at the Duke Asics Twilight and becoming just the second Spartan in program history to run sub-2:20 in the 800 meters.

In his fi rst season as head coach of the cross country teams, the men posted their highest fi nish at the SoCon Championship meet, placing third out of 11 teams. Individually, Josh Wy-att and Nick Vaccaro fi nished fi fth and eighth, respectively, garnering All-SoCon honors and becoming the fi rst set of Spartans to receive cross country All-SoCon honors in the same sea-son. For the women, Jess Weber and Sherrika Jordan each registered a 6K time that ranked among UNCG’s Top-25 times.

During the 2007 indoor season, Jeff Williams won his third-straight title in the 800 meters en route to earning All-SoCon status. The distance medley relay team of Vaccaro, Terry Wyatt, Williams and Xavier Rutz also earned All-Son honors with a second-place fi nish at the SoCon

Championships.

In outdoor, both Vaccaro (1,500m) and Xavier Rutz (3,000m and 5,000m) es-tablished new men’s school records. The year ended with Jess Weber being named ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District Second Team presented by College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

Nguyen was named head coach of the Spartans at the start of the 2006 out-door season. In his inaugural season at the helm, both Jeff Williams (800 me-ters) and Charles Jones (triple jump) qualifi ed for the NCAA East Regionals. It remains the only time in UNCG history in which two Spartans have made the NCAA East Region Track and Field Championships.

Prior to being named head coach, Nguyen served as an assistant coach and as a volunteer assistant coach for the Spartans. In his four years as an assis-tant, Nguyen produced24 All-Conference honorees, one NCAA Regional quali-fi er and one NCAA National participant. Charles Jones became UNCG’s fi rst NCAA Regional and National qualifi er in 2005. Jones remains the only two-time Regional qualifi er and is the only national qualifi er in UNCG history. As a volunteer assistant, Nguyen coached Heidi (Sloop) Pinkerton to cross country All-SoCon status in 2002.

Prior to UNCG, Nguyen was a volunteer assistant coach at Lynchburg College, his alma mater, for one season. During the 2000-01 school year, the Hornets swept the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) titles in cross country, in-door, and outdoor.

Nguyen was an eight-time All-ODAC selection. Nguyen led Lynchburg to a pair of top-fi ve fi nishes at the NCAA South/Southeast Regional Cross Country meet, including one third-place fi nish. He also took the Hornets to a conference title in 1999, while capturing ODAC Runner of the Year Honors.

Nguyen, a native of East Hampton, NY, graduated from Lynchburg College in 2000 with his bachelor’s degree in sports medicine. He received his master’s in exercise physiology from UNCG in 2007.

Nguyen and his wife, Christina reside in Mebane.

THE SOUTHERN CONFERENCE The Southern Conference, which began its 89th season of intercollegiate competition in 2009, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has been on the fore-front of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing inter-collegiate athletics. From establishing the fi rst conference basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), develop-ing women’s championships (1984), to becoming the fi rst conference to install the three-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fi fth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic associa-tion. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacifi c 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Aca-demic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions. The Conference currently consists of 12 mem-bers in fi ve states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Champion-ships. The Southern Conference offi ces are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league fi rst class meeting areas and offi ces as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.

Membership history On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Ho-tel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Con-ference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were offi cials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Insti-tute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Caro-lina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee. Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as act-ing chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new ath-letic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play

summer baseball for money. Play began in the fall of 1921 and a year later, six more schools joined the fl edgling league includ-ing Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meet-ing but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929. By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932 at the Farragut Hotel in Knox-ville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. According to the minutes of the meeting, Dr. Sanford stated that the division was made along geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J. Tigert, acting as spokesman for the withdrawing group, regretted the move but believed it was necessary as the Southern Conference had grown too large. The resignations were accepted and the withdrawing schools formed the new league which began play in 1932. The Southern Conference continued with mem-bership of 10 institutions including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Wash-ington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans fi ve states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Sam-ford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford.

Leadership John Iamarino was offi cially named commission-er of the conference on January 2, 2006. Iamarino has promoted the Southern Conference through an ambitious agenda which has improved competition, upgraded compliance-related matters, launched the conference’s Hall of Fame and increased the marketing and brand awareness of the conference and its member institutions. The Southern Conference named its fi rst com-missioner in December 1950. Duke head football coach Wallace Wade made the transition from Blue Devil football coach to athletics administration as the fi rst person at the helm of the conference.

Lloyd Jordan replaced Wade as the commissioner in 1960 and served a 14-year term until Ken Germann became the league head in 1974. Germann was the commissioner for 13 years and orchestrated the league’s expansion to include women’s athlet-ics. In 1987, he was succeeded by Dave Hart who spearheaded the transfer of the league offi ce from Charlotte, N.C., to Asheville, N.C. Wright Waters succeeded Hart upon his retire-ment in 1991. Under Waters’ leadership, the South-ern Conference expanded to 12 members, added three women’s sports and posted record revenue from the basketball tournament. Waters, who is cur-rently the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference, was followed by Alfred B. White in 1998. White, a veteran member of the NCAA offi ce, introduced the current conference logo and elevated the confer-ence’s commitment to marketing and development of corporate partners. Danny Morrison headed the conference from 2001-2005 and orchestrated the league’s move from Asheville, N.C., to Spartanburg, S.C. Under Morrison’s leadership, the conference increased its marketing and promotional efforts.

Championship history The fi rst Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in At-lanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the fi rst recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball. Commissioner Germann spearheaded the Southern Conference’s expansion to include wom-en’s athletics during the 1983-84 season. That year, league championships were held in volleyball, basketball and tennis. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recent-ly, the conference instituted golf and softball cham-pionships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994. The Germann Cup, named in honor of the former commissioner, annually recognizes the top wom-en’s athletics programs in the conference. From its humble beginnings, women’s athletics have be-come an integral part of the Southern Conference and its success. The Southern Conference declares champions in 10 men’s sports - football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track and fi eld, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track & fi eld, tennis, golf and softball.

UNIVERSITY FOUNDERCHARLES MCIVER

Charles Duncan McIver, founder of the State Normal and Industrial School (now UNCG), decided Minerva, Roman god-dess of Wisdom, would be a good symbol

for the school. Beginning with the fi rst diploma in 1893, the head of Minerva has

appeared on every diploma awarded by the institution.

The class of 1907 donated the original Minerva statue - made of plaster - to the University. In 2003, the class of 1953 commissioned a replacement, made of bronze, and placed outside the Elliott University Center in the heart of campus.

Founded in 1891, UNCG is a diverse, student-centered research university, linking the Triad and North Carolina to the world through learn-ing, discovery and service. The university is organized into a College of Arts & Sciences and six professional schools, with more than 1,000 faculty members teaching in programs that offer 86 undergraduate, 56 master’s and 25 doctoral degrees. Among its high-impact projects are the Gateway University Research Park and the Joint School of Nanosci-ence and Nanoengineering, which are being created in partnership with North Carolina A&T.

Dr. Linda BRADYChancellor

Dr. Linda P. Brady became the 10th chancellor of The Uni-versity of North Caro-lina at Greensboro August 1, 2008.

Brady, 61, suc-ceeded Dr. Patricia A. Sullivan, UNCG’s fi rst woman chancellor, who retired July 31, 2008, after almost 14 years in the post.

In recommending Brady to the Board of Governors, UNC President Erskine Bowles said: “Over the past 25 years, Linda Brady has accu-mulated a wealth of leadership experience at highly respected public, urban universities, as well as in the halls of Washington. At each step along the way, she has proven herself to be an energetic leader who promotes collaboration, creative problem-solving, and real-life com-mitment to scholarship, research, and public service. …

“With her broad experience in higher education and federal government, her demonstrated integrity and sound judgment, and her profound understanding of the global marketplace in which our students must compete, Linda Brady will be a forceful and effective leader for UNC Greensboro.”

A native of New York City and the fi rst member of her family to at-tend college, Brady graduated from Douglass College, the women’s division of Rutgers University, in 1969 with a degree in political sci-ence. She received a master’s degree in the fi eld from Rutgers (1970) and a doctorate in political science from The Ohio State University (1974). She began her academic career as an assistant professor of political science at Vanderbilt University in 1973 and joined the fac-ulty at Goucher College in Maryland three years later.

From 1978 to 1985, Brady held several positions in the U.S. Depart-ment of State and the U.S. Department of Defense. Among other roles, she served as a political analyst in the State Department’s Offi ce of Disarma-ment and Arms Control and as special assistant for mutual and balanced force reductions in the Offi ce of the Secretary of Defense. She later served as a senior fellow in international security and arms control at the Carter Center of Emory University (1986-87) and as a distinguished professor of national security at the U.S. Military Academy (1991-92).

From 1993 to 2001, Brady led the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where she was also a profes-sor of international affairs. She joined North Carolina State University in 2001 as Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and pro-fessor of political science, and over the next fi ve years was credited with building the stature and visibility of the College, launching a number of new graduate degree programs, and signifi cantly increasing external support for the humanities and social sciences at NC State. She left North Carolina in 2006 to become the chief academic and operating offi cer at the Univer-sity of Oregon.

Brady has authored or co-edited three books and numerous book chapters and scholarly articles in the fi elds of American foreign policy, international negotiation, and arms control. Among other professional organizations, she is a member of the International Studies Association, the American Political Science Association, the International Institute for

Strategic Studies, and the Council on Foreign Relations. A past recipient of the Georgia Tech School of Social Sciences Teaching Award, she has earned the Superior Honor Award from the U.S. Department of State and is a two-time recipient of the Outstanding Civilian Service Medal from the Department of the Army. She was an American Council on Education Fellow in 1997-98, serving her fellowship year at the University of Iowa under the mentorship of President Mary Sue Coleman and Provost Jon Whitmore.

Since moving to UNCG, Brady has become a member of the Greensboro Rotary Club. She is also on the Board of Directors for United Way of Greater Greensboro and the Greensboro Partnership.

Brady is married to Gustav “Steve” Heyer, a retired Army offi cer. She has two adult stepsons and three grandchildren: Stephen Heyer and his wife, Suzanne, live in Richmond, Va., with their children Alyx, Megan, and Andrew Casey, while Michael Heyer lives in Chicago, Ill.

In accepting the position at UNCG, Brady said, “This is one of the very best jobs in American higher education. I am so grateful for this opportunity and humbled by the trust you have place in me. I shall not let you down.”

Kimberly S. “Kim” Record, was named to the post of director of intercollegiate athletics at UNCG on Sept. 27, 2009.

Record, who most recently had ser ved as a consultant with ISP Sports, was the senior associate director of athletics at Florida State Unviersity from 1995 to 2008, and held a succession of positions at the University of Virginia from 1984-1995, culminating with an

appointment as associate director of athletics for administration.She emerged from a national search that drew 125 candidates, and is UNCG’s fi rst

female athletic director. There are only 29 female athletic directors in the NCAA Division I, with fi ve of them in the UNC system. Record is only the second woman to hold an athletic director’s position in the 89-year history of the Southern Conference.

“I am delighted that Kim Record is joining UNCG as director of intercollegiate athletics,” said UNCG Chancellor Linda P. Brady. “She is the right person for this position, and she possesses the leadership, administration and fundraising skills that are essential to bringing greater success to Spartan athletics. I look forward to working with her to raise UNCG’s program to a higher level of visibility and excellence.”

At UNCG, Record will lead a program that fi elds men’s and women’s teams in 18 sports, 250 student-athletes, and 57 employees. She succeeds Nelson E. Bobb, UNCG’s fi rst-ever AD who resigned from the post in the spring, after directing Spartan athletics for 26 years.

Record will be responsible for the leadership, administration, organization and fi nances of UNCG’s athletics program, which is undergoing a major shift in its men’s basketball program. The Spartan men’s basketball team will be playing its games in the Greensboro Coliseum beginning this season.

Among other responsibilities, she will coordinate fundraising and operation of the Spartan Club with the vice chancellor for university advancement. She will oversee efforts to engage alumni, fans and the community with UNCG athletics. The AD also takes the lead role in strategic planning and in athletics facilities development. The athletics budget is approximately $8.8 million, and athletic scholarships provided for the 2009-10 academic

year exceed $2.1 million.In her 13 years at Florida State, she had a broad range of administrative duties,

including serving as a member of the Executive Management Team, which determined and implemented policy decisions for a 19-sport, $50 million intercollegiate program. She directly supervised three sports programs – men’s and women’s basketball and women’s soccer – and monitored Title IX compliance. Other areas included executive-level staffi ng; day-to-day departmental operations; serving as liaison with the trademark licensing program; and oversight for marketing, media and public relations, and radio and television contracts.

In construction, she facilitated FSU’s $6 million state-of-the-art soccer and softball stadium and its $10 million men’s and women’s basketball training center. She oversaw a project that showcased the history of athletics at FSU as part of a $100 million facilities improvement plan. Her initial responsibilities as associate director of athletics at FSU included oversight of men’s and women’s tennis, swimming & diving and softball. Record also held the designation of senior woman administrator.

At Virginia, she supervised all aspects of the day-to-day operations of the department and specialized in external operations. She implemented marketing and promotional strategies for all 26 sports programs as associate director of athletics for external operations. She was the executive staff member of a capital campaign team created to raise $50 million. She came up through the ranks at Virginia, where she earned her bachelor’s degree, starting out as a sports information intern who was progressively promoted in the department to associate director of athletics for administration.

As a consultant with ISP, Record provided marketing expertise in the area of athletics sports signage, including videoboards, scorer’s tables and other digital signage. She has also coordinated purchase and installation between vendor, institution and ISP.

Within the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), Record has served on both the executive committee and the Director’s Cup Committee. Within the NCAA, she served on the Women’s Soccer Committee and the Regional Soccer Committee.

A native of Charlottesville, she graduated form Virginia and earned the M.S. degree in sports management from Florida State. She has two sons – Kyle, 21, a third year student at the University of Virginia, and Josh, 16, a sophomore at Leon High School in Tallahassee, Fla.

SPARTAN SUCCESSStudent-athletes at UNCG have enjoyed a tremendous amount of success over the

years. Although the athletic department just celebrated its 40th season last year, athletics at UNCG date back to the 1940s in the days before the university became co-ed.

Golfer Nancy Porter, who went on to a successful pro career, is regarded as one of UNCG’s fi rst student-athletes, competing in tournaments on the national level in the late 1940s.

In 1963, as the university prepared to go co-ed, UNCG began to formally organize athletic teams. Women’s basketball, under head coach Ellen Griffi n, women’s tennis, women’s golf and fi eld hockey were started. LPGA Hall of Famer Carol Mann was on one of the early UNCG women’s golf teams.

In 1967, UNCG began men’s athletics and the intercollegiate athletics program received formal recognition from the University. In the fall of 1967, the Spartan was adopted as the program’s mascot.

In 1968, UNCG’s men’s teams joined the Dixie Athletic Conference, known today as the USA South Conference on the NCAA Division III level. Women’s teams competed as part of the AIAW early on, with UNCG being one of the lead organizers of the organization. Two of the fi rst men’s sports were basketball and bowling.

In 1971, with the emergence of the fi ve-player rule in women’s basketball, UNCG fi nished fourth in the National Collegiate Tournament.

Two years later, the women’s golf team won the AIAW national title – UNCG’s fi rst-ever team national crown. Porter coached the squad and future professional golfer Donna Horton White was on the squad.

Since then, UNCG has enjoyed a number of successes:• Five national titles in men’s soccer during the 1980s and a runner-up fi nish in

women’s tennis. • An unprecedented fi ve-year move from Division III to Division II to Division I. • A trip to the “Big Dance” – the NCAA men’s basketball tournament – in just its fi fth

year of Division I status. • Men’s soccer coach Michael Parker and women’s basketball coach Lynne Agee

were the fi rst to lead teams to the NCAA tournament in all three divisions. • A baseball squad built from scratch by Mike Gaski that made it to the NCAA

tournament in just its fi fth season of play. • A men’s soccer program that conquered all comers for two months to become the

No. 1 team in the nation in 2004, the beginning of UNCG’s three straight NCAA tournament Round of 16 appearances and four in fi ve years.

• Kyle Hines, who became just the sixth player in college basketball history to record 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 300 blocked shots in a career.

• Individuals like wrestler Dock Kelly, who overcame birth defects that left him without legs qualifying for the NCAA Championship.

• Students like Siggi Eyjolffson, who earned Academic All-American honors three times.

From major league pitcher Brian Moehler to MLS champion Alejandro Moreno to LPGA star Becky Morgan, Spartan alumni have gone on to successful careers in sports. That success isn’t just limited to the playing fi eld, either. The late Doug Hamilton was one of the pioneers within MLS and played on the UNCG national championship teams of the 1980s. Eyjolffson returned to his native Iceland and is one of the top people in his native country’s soccer f e d e r a t i o n , c u r r e n t l y serving as their women’s national team head coach.

S p a r t a n athletics has had its success stories over the years … and the best is yet to come.
