Husky Cross Country: From A to Z ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE — While successful in competition, Greg Metcalf’s

DEMPSEY INDOOR — Washington’s cross

cross country and track and field teams have been equally outstanding in the classroom, annually ranking among the University’s top athletic squads in terms of academic achievement. In 2004, a UW-record 15 Husky cross country runners merited Academic All-Pac-10 honors, second-highest among Pac-10 schools only to Stanford’s 16. Distance runners Andy Fader and Travis Boyd swept first-team All-Academic honors in both cross country and track, while miler Angela Wishaar captured a second-straight first team Academic All-Pac-10 track accolade. In all, 22 Huskies earned Pac10 All-Academic track honors in the spring, while pole vaulter Brad Walker received his second-straight Academic All-America award.

country runners need not fear the rain. When the weather becomes too rough to run along the shores of Lake Washington, the Huskies head inside the 80,000-square foot Dempsey Indoor, a multi-million dollar practice facility that provides training space for Washington’s football, softball, baseball and soccer teams, and a practice and competition area for the UW track teams. Since opening in 2001, Dempsey Indoor has become the prime indoor competition venue for many of the nation’s top collegiate track squads, as well as dozens of current and former Olympic competitors. The facility is named for California businessman Neal Dempsey, a 1964 UW graduate, who gave a gift of $10 million in 2001 to be split between the Business School's Program in Entrepreneurship and Innovation and intercollegiate athletics.

ALL-AMERICANS — Thirteen Husky cross country athletes have combined to earn 15 All-America certificates at the NCAA Cross country Championships. The NCAA awards All-America honors to the top 25 finishers in both the men’s and women’s races, adding one American for every foreign-born athlete who receives the honor. Only one Husky, Regina Joyce, has ever earned more than one All-America certificate. Women 2001 2000 1998 1995 1992 1991 1982 1981 1980

BAINES, SIMON— It could be argued that fewer Huskies have ever made a larger impact in a shorter amount of time than Simon Baines, who competed just one season for the purple and gold. A native of England, Baines transferred to the UW in 1993 and lifted the Huskies to their first Pac-10 title and an eighth-place finish at the NCAA Championships. The junior made his UW debut with a win at the Pier Park Invitational, then showed it was no fluke by capturing the Sundodger Invitational the following week, in the process setting a course record that would not be broken for eight years. His fourth-place finish at the Pac-10 meet equaled the best-ever by a UW runner at the conference meet, while his second-place finish at the NCAA West Regional, and subsequent 10th-placing at the NCAA Championships established UW benchmarks that have yet to be broken. Though he had a year of eligibility remaining, Baines opted to return to England in 1994 to vie for a position on England’s national team for the World Cross country Championships.

BELZ, CHRISTIAN — One of just four UW men to lead the Huskies at the NCAA Cross Country Championships more than once, Swiss native Christian Belz dominated UW cross country from 1996-1998. An All-American with a 17th-place finish at the 1998 NCAA Championships, Belz led all UW runners at the Pac-10 and NCAA Regional meets for three straight years, including top-10 finishes at both. Also an outstanding steepler, Belz twice earned runner-up honors in the event at the Pac-10 Track Championships, and ranks eighth in Washington history with a best of 8:48.2 (hand-timed). Belz has maintained his success post-collegiately, representing his native Switzerland at both the Sydney and Athens Olympic Games.

CARLSON, TARA — Over the past decade, Washington’s women’s cross country squad has risen to national prominence. Christian Belz While dozens of UW runners have contributed to that rise, perhaps no Husky can take more credit than 1995 NCAA All-American Tara Carlson. In four years at Washington, Carlson helped lead the program from one that had sent runners to just five of the previous 12 NCAA meets to one which has now sent runners to 11 of the 12 NCAA Championships since Carlson’s debut 1992 season. One of only two UW women ever to earn a top-10 NCAA cross country finish, Carlson placed eighth in 1995, and was the team’s top finisher at the national meet in each of the previous two seasons. Carlson led the Husky women for four consecutive years at the NCAA West Regional Championships — the only UW woman ever to do so — and earned four top-10 and three top-five finishes in that remarkable span. Carlson ranks second only to UW legend Regina Joyce on the track at 3,000- and 5,000 meters, and earned All-America honors in the latter in 1995.

2004 Washington Cross Country

FAB FRESHMEN — Every year, it seems, a different UW freshman is able to sucessfully make the transition from high school to college and excel in their first Anna Aoki season. In the past two years, however, freshmen haven’t only been content with success — they’re out for wins. Laura Hodgson in 2002 and Brianna McLeod in 2003 each won their debut races at Washington, a feat never-before accomplished in UW history. Prior to Hodgson, the only freshman ever to win a race at Washington was the legendary Regina Joyce, who earned the NCWSA Region IX title during her freshman season of 1980. McLeod’s win in 2003 sparked a banner year for Husky freshmen, who accounted for six of the Huskies’ 14 runners (men and women) at the NCAA Championships.

GENDER EQUITY — The Husky athletic department is one of the national leaders in achieving gender-equity for its student athletes. In December of 1997, The Chronicle of Higher Education cited Washington as "the only Division I-A institution with an undergraduate enrollment that was at least 50 percent female to have achieved substantial proportionality in both scholarships and participation."

INNOVATIONS — Around the world, the University of Washington is known for much more than just fast runners. In fact, Washington graduates have been credited with some of the most signficant inventions of the 20th century. Included among those inventions are the first color TV tube, the original rabbit-ears antenna, vinyl, synthetic rubber, the first blowable bubble gum, and “talking books,” an early-20th century precursor of books on tape. Washington grads are also credited with inventing the first hard spacesuit, which for the first time allowed astronauts to venture outside their spacecraft. Lest you think that the UW is only about technology, Huskies have made significant advances in medical research, including development of the vaccines for smallpox and Hepatitis B, as well as the first long-term dialysis machine. With so many intelligent minds on campus, it should come as no surprise that the University of Washington led all U.S. public universities in funding from federal research grants in 2002, and ranks No. 1 in funding from federal grants since 1975. Eight members of the Husky family have been honored with the Nobel Prize, and nine more have earned Pulitzer Prize recognition.

JOYCE, REGINA — Sit in on any conversation about the history of distance running at Washington, and inevitably the talk will turn to Regina Joyce. The only female Husky distance runner ever to claim a national collegiate title, Joyce’s legacy at Washington echoes to this day, and not only in the four UW track and field records that have been hers alone for more than 20 years. A native of Ireland, Joyce joined the Husky squad in 1980, the last year before women’s track and field was certified by the NCAA. Joyce was outstanding all season, winning the NCWSA Region IX Championship and taking sixth at the AIAW National Championships, leading the Husky women to a 12th-place finish in their first-ever appearance on the national stage. Over the next three seasons, Joyce added national finishes of 11th (in 1981) and 2nd (in 1982), and captured a NorPac Athletic Conference title in 1982. Joyce excelled on the track at nearly every distance with school records ranging from 1,500-10,000 meters, three of which still stand, and an indoor record at 3,000 meters. As a freshman in 1981, Joyce completed 3,000 meters in 9:00.20 to capture the AIAW National Championship in the event, one of just three national titles ever won by a UW female in any event. Joyce opted to forgo her senior year in 1983-84 to train for the 1984 Olympics, at which she represented Ireland in the marathon. Today, Joyce lives with her husband in the Seattle area, coaches distance runners at Edmonds-Woodway High School and can still occasionally be seen in competition against the nation’s top collegians at Dempsey Indoor.

LINCOLN PARK — Since 1992, Washington has held all of its

being the rain capital of the nation. While Seattle does expe rience frequent showers, its total annual precipitation ranks only 113th in the United States, at about 38 inches, roughly half as much as Tallahasssee, Fla. Compare that with Hilo, Hawaii, which receives 130 inches a year, or Yakutat, Alaska, which soaks up 161 inches in an average year! Among ma jor U.S. cities, Miami, Houston, Atlanta, Boston, Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Memphis and Washington, D.C. each get more annual precipitation than Seattle.

home cross country competitions at Lincoln Park in West Seattle. The scenic park on a ridge overlooking Puget Sound annually plays host to the Sundodger Invitational, and was the site of the 2000 Pac-10 Cross Country Championships. For more information about Lincoln Park, including driving directions, see page 46 of this guide.

NCAA STREAK — Washington’s women boast the nation’s seventh-longest active streak of NCAA Cross Country Championships appearances, having qualified for the meet in each of the past seven seasons. That streak coincides exactly with Greg Metcalf’s seven years as distance coach at Washington; prior to Metcalf’s arrival in 1997, the Huskies had sent a women’s team to just six of the previous 20 NCAA Championships. Keeping the streak alive has been a remarkable balance of veteran leadership — junior Anna Aoki and senior Deeja Youngquist led the Huskies to an all-time best eighthplace finish in 1998 — and youthful exuberance, as exemplified by a seniorless 2003 squad that leaned heavily on four freshmen for a 19th-place NCAA finish. Following is a list of the 10 longest active NCAA Championships streaks: Team 1. Georgetown 2. Brigham Young Providence 4. Colorado 5. Stanford 6. N.C. State 7. Washington 8.

SUNDODGER INVITATIONAL — While Seattle University’s

Regina Joyce

PIONEERS — Prior to 1977, no Washington cross country team had made an appearance at the NCAA Championships, which began in 1938. Huskies Bill McClement, Bill Stolp, Chris Villani, Steve Surface, Gary Gustafson, Mark Hallenbeck and Bob Pierce brought that streak to an end, however, placing second at the 1977 Pac-8 Championships and earning the Huskies’ their first-ever NCAA Championships berth. The team did not have to travel far for the meet, which was held at Hangman Valley Golf Course in Spokane, Wash. Spurred on by family and friends lining the course, the Huskies placed 13th overall, with McClement leading all UW finishers in 68th, two minutes behind champion Henry Rono of WSU. It would be 10 years before the Husky men would return to the national meet as a team, though individual runners have competed almost every year in the quartercentury since.

Emerald City Invitational is often confused for a UW home meet, the Sundodger Invitational at Lincoln Park is in fact the only cross country meet hosted annually by the Univer sity of Washington. Featuring hundreds of the Northwest’s top collegiate and post-collegiate cross country athletes, as well as invited collegiate squads from across the country, the meet has become an annual fixture on the Northwest distance running schedule since its inception in 1992. While the course has changed subtly over the years, distances have remained 5,000 meters for women and 8,000 meters for men, both winding through some of the most beautiful running terrain in the Seattle area, with scenic vistas of Puget Sound. Simon Fraser’s Emilie Mondor set the women’s meet record in 2002 with a time of 16:05, breaking by one second the record of 16:06 set just a year earlier by the UW’s Sabrina Monro. Western Washington’s Paul Kezes clocked the meet’s men’s record in 2002 with a time of 23:42, just two seconds off the course record of 23:40 set by Stanford’s Jonathan Riley during the 2000 Pac-10 Championships. For year-by-year results of the Sundodger Invitational, see pages 44-45 of this guide.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS — Both

of Washington’s cross country teams have been outstanding in Pac-10 Conference competition, with the Husky women currently boasting a string of 15-consecutive top-five Pac-10 finishes. That streak has its roots in Washington’s first-ever Pac-10 title, earned in 1989. Having never placed higher than sixth since the conference expanded from eight to 10 teams in 1986, Washington sent notice that 1989 could be special with wins at each of the first two meets of the season. The Huskies entered the Pac-10 meet at Stanford a decided underdog to rival Oregon, which had won every conference title since 1976, but had lost to Washington two weeks prior at the McIver Park Invitational. Led by eighthplace finisher Michele Buresh, the Huskies loaded six runners into the top20, scoring 65 points to handily defeat runner-up Washington State and the third-place Ducks. Buoyed by their finish, the team two weeks later captured the UW’s first-ever NCAA Regional title, and placed 12th at the NCAA Championships, then an all-time best. The UW men added their first Pac-10 title in 1993, and the women brought home a regional crown in 1992.

Huskies at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships In addition to their Olympic Games competition, Washington’s cross country athletes have also been a significant presence at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships, which have been held annually since 1973. Husky junior Laura Hodgson qualified for the junior women’s race in 2003, placing 58th overall while leading the U.S. women to second. The 2005 meet will be held in Le Mans, France, in March.

Building upon the foundation laid by Garner and his three fellow seniors in 2003 will be the responsibility of this year’s upperclassmen, particularly captains Mark Mandi and Andy Fader (center, #645).

2004 Washington Cross Country

Men’s Preview: Captains’ Perspective One who previewed the upcoming Husky men’s cross country season in June might have picked Washington to make a strong run at the NCAA meet — three of the Huskies’ top-five from a 21st-place effort at the 2003 NCAA Championships were returning, including No. 1 runner Mar k Mandi (Everett, Wash.), super frosh Carl Moe (Auburn, Wash.) and 10,000-meter force Mike Sayenko (Bellevue, Wash.). Junior Andy Fader (Everett, Wash.), crucial to the team’s near-upset of Oregon for second at the 2003 Pac-10 Championships, and 2003 Emerald City Invitational champion Travis Boyd (Mukilteo, Wash.) were also back to round out the top-five, while a talented group of freshmen headed by prep AllAmerican Tom Wyatt (Lakewood, Wash.) were to battle a hard-working group of underclassmen for the final two traveling spots. Just two months later, however, those plans are in shambles, with Sayenko sidelined by a broken leg, Moe experiencing lingering pain from a spring foot injury, and Wyatt out with a bad back. With Moe and Sayenko sidelined for the early part of the season, Mandi and fellow co-captain Fader face the challenging task of preparing a young squad for the rigors of the postseason. Mandi may be the only healthy returning member of the Husky seven which last fall sent UW to its first NCAA Championships since 1993, but both captains agree that is no reason to think the Huskies won’t be back on the line at the NCAA meet in November. What was it like to finally make it to the NCAA Championships last year? Mandi: “Being at nationals and representing your entire school, with that ‘W’ on the front of your jersey, is hard to describe. It’s not very often that you can represent 40,000 people — an entire city — in a race against hundreds of other people who are there representing their entire Universities, feeling the same sense of responsibility to their schools that you do to yours. Just having the opportunity to do that is indescribable.” What made the biggest difference in qualifying for nationals? Mandi: “The biggest difference was depth. We’ve had a lot of great runners over the years, but to win meets you have to run as a team. Last year, in addition to the four seniors, we had four or five other guys who could run in our top seven.” Fader: “If you look at the results, we didn’t have any one guy way out in front — Mark was our top finisher at the NCAAs, and he was 67th. What we did well was stay together as a group, and let our lead runners pull the rest of us along to the finish.”

Will depth be an issue this year? Fader: “I don’t think so. Guys like Adam Shimer and Kevin Peters are stepping it up and working hard this summer.” Mandi: “It’s an awkward situation for us. Of the seven who raced at nationals, only one returns. But a lot of the younger guys really stepped up this spring. Adam Shimer is stepping it up, and so is Kevin Peters. Travis Boyd has been smart about his training this year and looks great. He’ll be a big factor this year. Matt Owen and Jon Hickey also look solid. There are definitely going to be some new faces in our top seven, but with familiar results.” How has last year’s success changed expectations for 2004? Fader: “People are realizing that we need to train together as a team; that was what made last year’s team great. Everyone puts the team first now.” Mandi: “Just because I’m returning as the No. 1 doesn’t mean I’m going to slack off. For us to be a top-10 team, which is what we want to be, I am going to have to train as hard and as smart as I can to be peaking at the end of the year. If I’m the No. 5 guy, but am an All-American, that’s great for our team. So, we’re focused on the team, but at the same time, you know as an individual you have to be as good as you can be to truly help the team.” What will it take for this team to be successful in 2004? Fader: “The biggest thing will be getting Carl Moe and Mike Sayenko healthy. If they’re healthy and able to run for us in the postseason, then we’ll be in good shape.” Mandi: “I honestly believe that we won’t run our best team until nationals. I’m not trying to take anything away from the guys who will be running in Carl and Mike’s place, but if we’re already running well when they’re gone, we know it’s only going to make us better when they’re back. If we’re running second at Pac-10s without those guys, we’re in great shape for regionals and nationals.” Is second at Pac-10s a realistic goal? Mandi: “Oh, yeah. Winning it is something we can talk about, too. We were right with Oregon for second place last year, and Stanford graduated a lot of guys.” Fader: “They’re not as invincible as they used to be. Mark beat half of their guys at Pac-10s last year, so if we run well, I think we can beat anybody in the Pac-10. We SHOULD be second, in my opinion.” Mandi: “But we’re not going to let our guard down. Every team is going to be tough, and every team has guys that can surprise you. There’s so much that can affect the meet — injuries, weather, etc.—— that anything can happen. But, we’re in good enough shape that we feel confident that if we run our best, we can beat any team in our conference.”

A healthy return for Carl Moe (above) and teammate Mike Sayenko will be key for the Huskies. Will any freshmen make an impact? Mandi: “Jeremy Mineau has put up some great times in high school, so he could make an impact. Caleb Knox, too, looks really good, and runs really fast. Araya Gobena is also really talented.” Fader: “I think the standards on our team are a lot higher now than they were in the past. We’re deeper and better than we were two years ago, and we were deeper and better then than we were two years before that. Honestly, I don’t even think Mark Mandi would make our team these days.” Mandi: “That’s probably true. I ran 9:34 in high school, and the guys we’re bringing in now are 9:10 guys. Our team is getting so good; I probably wouldn’t even get a chance.” What’s the most important quality a distance runner can have? Fader: “Focus and discipline; the ability to go out and train every single day, even when you don’t want to.” Mandi: “The best quality a distance runner can have is belief. If you don’t believe you can do it, you’re not going to go anywhere.” What does running at Washington mean to you? Fader: “It’s the best experience of my life.” Mandi: “Running as a Husky is the biggest privelege you can have. I appreciate what a privelege it is to wear this jersey. I wasn’t an all-state runner in high school, so for me to be here, representing this University, is like a second lease on life.” Fader: “Running is the most important thing that I do. I put everything I can into running. You only get to run for so long; if you don’t make the most of it, you’re cheating yourself.”

2004 Washington Cross Country

Coaches David Bazzi ...................... BAH-zee

Women’s Preview: Captains’ Perspective For seven years, Greg Metcalf has directed Washington’s cross country programs. For seven years, the Huskies have never failed to reach an NCAA Championships.

Halverson: “To do that, we need to be more consistent all season. We may only have seven people racing at nationals, but the people racing early on and throughout the season are the ones who are going to get us there. We need to race strong all year long. We can’t just rely on Regionals to get us in.” Egerdahl: “That’s a great point; intensity will be so important. This team knows how to have fun. Our job, though, is to add commitment, desire and accountability to the equation. That’s where Laura excels. On hard courses, in hard races, Laura’s our girl, and she brings all of us with her. I don’t think there are many girls that can do that for their team.”

To appreciate the difficulty of that accomplishment, consider that only six other schools — Georgetown, BYU, Providence, Colorado, Stanford and North Carolina State — boast longer active NCAA streaks than the Huskies, who prior to 1997 had been to just seven of the previous 20 NCAA Championships. The streak encompasses nearly three generations of Husky runners, from the Class of ‘97, which began the streak with a 14th-place NCAA finish; to the Class of 2000, freshmen in ‘97 who twice put the Huskies in the top15; to the Class of 2004, tasked with extending the streak to eight this fall. In 2003, a fourth generation emerged, as five freshmen, led by Amy Lia (Bothell, Wash.) and Dallon Williams (Turlock, Calif.) formed the nucleus of a Husky squad that overcame low expectations to earn a 19thplace finish at the national meet. With six of the team’s top seven back, and talented newcomers on the way, senior captains Lindsey Egerdahl (Auburn, Wash.) — the team’s top finisher at the NCAA meet in 2003 — and Laura Halverson (Mica, Wash.) have set their sights on a high finish at the NCAA meet in November, and refuse to let their team settle for anything less. How did the team come together so quickly in 2003? Eger dahl: “We shocked everyone, including ourselves. No one was foolish enough to think that it wasn’t going to be a huge transition, and that it wouldn’t take a huge leap for us to get back to the NCAAs. We all knew going into it that it was going to take a lot from all parties. We decided to work together and get to the NCAA meet.” Halverson: “We never settled. We went for it. We never felt that we had given our best; we always thought we could do better.” How hard it is it for freshmen to run successfully at the collegiate level? Egerdahl: “We can count on the fact that every year a freshman makes a move into our top seven. But, in that case, we had five freshmen traveling — that was huge.” Halverson: “Our team in some ways has always been built around freshmen. They come in without a preconceived notion of who they ‘can’ and ‘can’t’ beat; they just run.” Egerdahl: “They stepped up at Regionals. A lot of races early on didn’t go so well, but they at least gave our freshmen experience. By the end of the year, they knew girls from other teams, could compare themselves in the race and judge who they wanted to race with. That was a huge thing for us.”

Lindsey Egerdahl (left) and Amy Lia will likely be among the Huskies’ leaders in 2004. W ill having been thr ough that transition last year help in 2004? Egerdahl: “I had always been surrounded by great leaders, then last year we got to nationals and there were five new faces, and I was the only one who had ever competed there before. It was a major transition for all of us. When the freshmen came in, they brought a different vibe to the team, and it took a while for us to adapt to them.” Halverson: “It definitely helps, because there’s not going be any awkwardness this year. We’ve been working together all summer, and have common goals. We’re really close. We love each other and we are a bonded team.” Egerdahl: “I’m more comfortable with this group of girls. I’m more willing to sacrifice with this group, this year, and I think we can all say that. I know these girls; I know their work ethic. We’ve been through so much. I would sacrifice all in a race for them, because I know that they would do the same for me. There’s a lot more energy and commitment.” What are your expectations in 2004? Egerdahl: “We underperformed last year, because we didn’t know what to expect going into the season. We know now how good this team can be. Knowing everyone’s potential makes it imperative that we, as leaders, hold everyone to that potential, and don’t let anyone slide. The younger girls have years to build upon, but for us, this it is it. We want to be a top-10 team, and we want it now.” What is your role as captain in 2004? Egerdahl: “There is no doubt that we have a lot of talent, and that this team will soon become one that will consistently contend for top-10 spots. Our challenge is to make that happen this year.”

Who outside the top-six returnees will challenge for a top-seven spot? Egerdahl: “Alison Tubbs is ready to go. She has as strong a mental game as anybody. Angela Wishaar is also one we are counting on. She’s leading our team in intensity this summer, and is setting a consistent foot forward.” Halverson: “Kira Harrison, too, had a great track season, and is ready to step up at 6,000 meters. She’s been training hard.” Will any freshmen break through? Egerdahl: “We’re counting on Amanda Miller, but anyone could jump up.” What will be this team’s strengths? Egerdahl: “Our biggest strength is our ability to have fun. You really have to enjoy the process. You only race five or six times all year, so it’s important to enjoy training.” Halverson: “We have fun every day, but at the same time, we’re able to flip that switch and be intense when it’s time.” Egerdahl: “We need to keep that intensity all season, from the first race to the last. Sometimes, we’re so focused on our end goals, that we forget there are other steps to take in order to get there.” Halverson: “Coach Metcalf does a great job of keeping us focused. He finds a way to motivate everybody, in ways unique to each of us. He puts belief into an athlete even before they know what they are capable of. I put all of my faith in him, and know that if I do what he is telling me to do, even though I’m tired and it hurts, when we start peaking in November, I’m going to be at my best.” How has this team maintained its success for so long? Halverson: “When you do any sport for Washington, you’re expected to be good. You’re told from the moment you arrive as a freshman that anything less than success is unacceptable, therefore, you start believing from the start that you’re going to do it.” Egerdahl: “The athletics program at Washington holds itself to a high standard among the other programs in the nation, and as an athlete, there’s an expectation that you’ll hold yourself to that same standard.”

Coaching Staff Greg

Metcalf Head Coach, Track & Field and Cross Country 3rd year, 8th overall at UW

As a youth running the hills and dirt lanes around Ephrata, Wash., Greg Metcalf dreamed of being a Washington Husky.

Including a 19th-place NCAA finish in 2003, Metcalf’s women’s squads have placed among the top-20 at the national meet five times since 1997, including a UW-record ninth-place finish in 1998.

Upon joining the Huskies as a junior in 1990, he dreamed of breaking records and earning All-American accolades.

Signs already exist that Metcalf may be turning Washington’s track program towards a similar era of dominance.

After graduating from UW in 1993 with an All-American certificate on the wall and the school’s fourth-fastest steeplechase time to his credit, Metcalf dreamed of one day returning to his alma mater as head coach.

Washington’s women were 29th at the NCAA Outdoor Meet in 2003, Metcalf’s first season, and tied for 18th in 2004, the latter tops by a UW women’s team since 1988. The Husky men, meanwhile, have placed among the top-25 at the NCAA Indoor Championships in each of Metcalf’s two seasons.

On Aug. 13, 2002, Metcalf’s latest dream became a reality. Having served five years as assistant track and field coach in charge of UW’s distance runners, Metcalf was named Washington’s 12th head track and field coach, and just the fifth since Clarence “Hec” Edmundson took the helm in 1919. Additionally, Metcalf continues to direct Washington’s cross country squads, which he has built over the past seven years into two of the most talented in the U.S. Washington’s women’s squad boasts the nation’s seventh-longest active streak of NCAA Championships appearances, having qualified for the meet in each of Metcalf’s seven seasons. The UW men, meanwhile, returned to the NCAA meet in 2003 for the first time since 1993, and are a consistent factor at the conference and regional levels.

Husky individuals have shined as bright in the last two years as ever before, combining for 25 NCAA Championships appearances, eight All-America awards, and two NCAA championships, while breaking school records on 27 separate occasions. Metcalf has also prepared runners for outstanding careers after college. Former Husky David Bazzi, an All-American and Pac-10 champion in 2001 and holder of two school records, was a member of the United States’ team at the 2001 World University Games, and currently works as a UW assistant. Christian Belz, meanwhile, twice the Pac10 steeplechase runner-up, has won two na-

tional steeplechase titles in his native Switzerland, and has represented the Swiss at each of the past two Summer Olympics. In all, Metcalf’s runners have earned 11 AllAmerica awards, five Pac-10 titles, 65 NCAA Championships bids, and 14 school records. Metcalf’s teams have also been among the brightest at a school renowned for its high academic standards. His cross country runners are five-time receipients of the Cross country Coaches Association All-Academic honor, and three Husky individuals have earned Academic All-American acclaim. UW placed a record 15 runners on the Pac-10’s all-academic cross country team in 2003, second only to Stanford. Washington is the second head coaching position for Metcalf, who served in 1996-97 as the head cross country and assistant track coach at Auburn University. His Tiger athletes accumulated four All-America awards and seven NCAA Championship berths. He coached the Auburn men’s team to a second-place performance at the 1997 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships. Metcalf received a bachelor’s degree in geography from UW in 1993 and completed all necessary coursework for a master’s of science in exercise physiology at Auburn. A four-time Academic All-Pac-10 honoree at Washington, Metcalf earned All-American honors at the 1992 and 1993 NCAA Championships. His best collegiate mark of 8:41.17 ranks fourth among all-time Husky steeplers. He also was a steeple finalist in the 1996 U.S. Olympic Trials. At Ephrata (Wash.) High School, Metcalf won the 1987 state cross country title and the 1988 1600-meter crown. Metcalf and wife Kristin, a former Husky distance runner, reside in Seattle with their newborn daughter, Mackenzie.

2003 Season Review Entering the 2003 season, the Huskies’ men’s and women’s cross country teams seemed to have little more in common than the logo on their uniforms. With four seniors in its top-seven, the Washington men entered the year determined to break a decade-long streak of NCAA Regional futility, and qualify for their first national championships since 1993. The women, meanwhile, — lacking even one senior on the 24-woman roster — turned to an incoming class of freshmen to extend the team’s streak of six-straight NCAA Championships appearances, the seventh-longest active streak in the nation. Different paths, same goal: Waterloo, Iowa, and the Nov. 24 NCAA Championships. Wins at the season-opening Emerald City Invitational by true freshman Brianna McLeod and redshirt freshman Travis Boyd touted the individual strength of Washington’s talented newcomers, while a sweep of team titles at UW’s Sundodger Invitational — just the third Husky sweep in the meet’s 11 years — showed that both teams understood how to balance individual success with overall team effort. Where the women relied heavily on freshmen, including Emerald City winner McLeod and Sundodger team leader Amy Lia, the men turned to their talented seniors. None were more consistent than indoor mile All-American Eric Garner, who led the Huskies in every varsity 8,000-meter race for the second-consecutive year. After a sixth-place women’s finish at the Notre Dame Invitational, and respective 13th- and 16th-place efforts in the men’s and women’s races at Pre-Nationals in Waterloo, both Husky squads entered the 2003 Pac-10 meet with something to prove. Not content merely to extend a string of four-straight top-five Pac-10 finishes, the UW men aimed higher in icy temperatures on the Washington State Golf Course.

Led by Garner, Washington upset two top-20 teams en route to a third-place finish, the UW’s best since a second-place effort in 1994. The Huskies totaled 93 points at the meet, just shy of Oregon’s 91. Both squads were well behind champion Stanford, which won with 23 points. Five Huskies crossed the line within 43 seconds, led by Garner’s 10th-place effort. “The leadership of our four seniors is what made this possible,” Metcalf said. “They have our team believing they can do whatever they set their minds to.” While Garner’s was a familiar face at the front of the pack for the Husky men, the UW women were led by sophomore transfer Ingvill Makestad, the fourth different Husky woman to lead Washington across the line in the season’s first five races. After having been forced to stop and walk briefly in her cross country debut just two weeks prior, Norweigian Makestad had no trouble with the Pac-10 course, placing ninth to extend to 10 the Husky women’s string of consecutive seasons with a top-10 finisher at the Pac-10 Championships. Makestad’s run sparked the Huskies to fourth overall, trailing top-ranked Stanford, No. 4 Arizona State and No. 15 UCLA. “The Pac-10s proved that our teams could take down some of the best in the region, and was an important confidencebuilder entering the Regional,” Metcalf said. “The Regional is what the whole season is pointed towards — every run, every workout, it all comes down to one race, one shot to go out and grab an NCAA berth.” Four of the nation’s top-23 women’s teams and six of the top-27 collegiate men’s squads fought for just two automatic, and 2-3 provisional berths to the NCAA Championships at the West Regional at Portland’s Blue Lake Park. The Husky men sought to end a 10-year NCAA Championships drought, while the women were bidding for a seventh-straight NCAA bid. With the NCAA’s provisional berths determined by regular-season wins and a “bump” rule helping teams who run well at their Regionals, Washington’s men knew that a top-four finish and a win over 12thranked Oregon would give them their best shot at a Championships berth. The wet, muddy conditions slowed many runners, including Garner, who held back early before surging to the finish in 21st overall. Just 21 seconds later, all of the Huskies’ top-five scorers were in, lifting Washington to 162 points and a fourth-place finish, one crucial spot ahead of fifth-place Oregon, just two points behind. “Those guys knew exactly what needed to be done, and they did it,” Metcalf said after the race. “They absolutely deserve to be at the national meet.” As with the men, the women knew a fourth-place finish would bring them close to a provisional berth, while a win over 11thranked Arizona State would all but assure a spot at the Championships. It was Makestad again who carried the

2004 Washington Cross Country

Eric Garner Huskies’ torch, staying with the lead pack the whole way for a fifth-place finish, best by a UW woman at the Regional since 1995. Three more Huskies — junior Lindsey Egerdahl and freshmen Lia and Dallon Williams, were among the top-26 finishers, while McLeod rounded out the top-five in 37th. Washington’s 94 team points earned a third-place finish — it’s best since 1999 — and relegated Arizona State to fourth, thus priming the Huskies for an NCAA run. “This may be our program’s most significant day in the last decade,” said Metcalf, whose teams were, indeed, both given atlarge invitations to the NCAA meet two days later. “These folks can be proud of what they’ve accomplished today for a long time.” The at-large bids marked the first time since 1989 that both Husky squads earned NCAA invites, a feat matched among Pac10 schools in 2003 only by Stanford. Running first in the below-zero windchill conditions at the NCAA meet in Waterloo, Iowa, the Husky men set the tone for the day with a 21st-place finish. For once, it wasn’t Garner at the front of the pack but sophomore 10,000-meter specialist Mark Mandi, who placed 67th. Co-captain Egerdahl, meanwhile, ensured a banner day for the UW with an 81stplace finish, pacing the Husky women to a 19th-place effort, the team’s fifth top-20 NCAA finish in the last seven years. In all, 13 of the UW’s 14 NCAA competitors made their NCAA debuts, with Egerdahl the only runner boasting NCAA experience. With six of the team’s top-seven women, and four of its top-seven men slated to return, the forecast for 2004 is bright. “A year of NCAA experience for all those young folks on our men’s and women’s teams will be invaluable this year,” Metcalf said. “Last year really laid the foundation for an incredible season in 2004.”

2003 Season Review Washington's cross country teams placed 15 athletes on the Pac-10's All-Academic cross country squads in 2003, second only to Stanford's 16 and the most-ever by a UW cross country team. The Huskies' three first-team recipients included two sophomores and a redshirt freshman. Sophomore Andy Fader, an honorable mention allacademic pick in 2003, headlined the first team on the strength of a 3.41 pre-major GPA. Fader was joined by redshirt freshman Travis Boyd, 2003 Emerald City Invitational champion, who boasts a 3.82 GPA in pre-business studies.

Also on the first-team was sophomore Laura Hodgson, whose 3.90 GPA, in mathematics, is the team's highest. Three more Washington runners earned secondteam acclaim, including senior men's captain Todd Arnold, sophomore Mark Mandi and junior women's captain Camille Connelly. The Pac-10 selects an all-academic team in every sport based on an individual athlete’s academic and athletic excellence. A 3.0 overall grade point average is required for a studentathlete to be considered for the all-academic

squad. Washington has amassed the most Pac10 selections in seven of the last 13 years. In 1996, Tara Carlson completed a stellar career with the maximum number of first-team Pac-10 All-Academic team selections, earning three cross country and four track and field honors from the conference. Carlson had a 3.68 GPA in speech and hearing sciences, and was an academic AllAmerican following her senior season. In 1990, the Huskies featured GTE Academic AllAmerican Pat Johnson, who graduated from UW with a 3.84 GPA and finished first in his class.

The course record for men was established by Stanford’s Jonathon Riley, who ran a 23:40 at the 2000 Pac-10 Conference Championships. The 6,000-meter women’s record was also set at the Pac-10 meet in 2000, with Arizona’s Tara Chaplin completing the circuit in 20:11. Simon Fraser’s Emilie Mondor holds the record at the meet’s most commonly-run distance, 5,000 meters, with a time of 16:05 in 2002.

In addition to the annual Sundodger meet, Lincoln Park also played host to the 2001 Pac-10 Championships, won by Stanford’s Jonathon Riley. Washington’s men placed fifth.

Cross Country Scoring Teams win by having the lowest point total, based on the places of its top five runners added together. The squad size is seven, with each team’s sixth and seventh finishers displacing potential scorers from other teams.

2004 Washington Cross Country

Dempsey Indoor

The 80,000-square foot indoor home of Husky track and field and cross country has, since its opening in September of 2001, earned a reputation as one of the nation’s top indoor competitive facilities. Dempsey Indoor includes a permanent 307-meter MONDO track (six lanes on the straightaway, five on the oval) and a full 100-yard FieldTurf infield equipped to host the shot put, weight throw, long jump, triple jump, high jump and pole vault events. In just the past two years, Dempsey Indoor has hosted nine Olympians, witnessed 13 top-10 world marks, 12 UW indoor school records and hundreds of NCAA qualifying marks, and served as the host site of the 2004 MPSF Championships. The Feb. 7 Husky Invitational featured former Olympians Hugo Munoz of Peru and the United States’ Bolota Asmeron, the latter of which clocked a facility-record time of 7:48.59 that is was among the best by an American indoors last year. 2004 U.S. indoor champion Toby Stevenson took the world lead in the pole vault with a clearance of 19-0 1/4 in January, and Stanford’s Alicia Craig moved to the top of the IAAF World 5,000-Meter Rankings list with a time of 15:56.58 in February. In addition to its competitive use, the building is utilized as an indoor practice facility for Washington’s football, softball, baseball and men’s and women’s soccer teams, and is considered one of the premier indoor facilities on the West Coast. The facility is named for California businessman Neal Dempsey, a 1964 UW graduate. Dempsey and his wife, Janet, announced a gift of $10 million in January 2001, to be split between the School of Business and inercollegiate athletics.

Affiliations Pacific-10 Conference The Pac-10’s reputation is further proven in the United States Sports Academy Directors’ Cup competition, which honors the nation’s top overall collegiate athletics programs.

Entering the 2004-05 season, the Pacific10 Conference upholds its tradition as the “Conference of Champions.”® Pac-10 members have claimed an incredible 84 NCAA team titles over the past nine seasons, more than eight per academic year. Even more impressive is the breadth of the Pac-10’s success, as those 84 team titles over the past nine seasons have come in 21 different men’s and women’s sports. The Pac-10 has now led the nation in NCAA Championships 39 of the last 44 years and finished second five times. Spanning nearly a century of outstanding athletics achievement, the Pac-10 has captured 336 NCAA titles (246 men’s, 90 women’s), far outdistancing the runner-up Big Ten Conference’s 197 titles.

STANFORD continued its remarkable run in 2003-04, winning its 10th-straight Directors’ Cup. Four of the top-10 and seven of the top-20 Division-I programs were Pac-10 members: No. 1 STANFORD, No. 3 UCLA, No. 8 WASHINGTON, No. 9 CALIFORNIA, No. 15 ARIZONA, No. 16 ARIZONA STATE and No. 20 USC. The Pac-10 captured 11 NCAA titles in 200304, more than double any other conference, including Stanford’s sweep of men’s and women’s cross country titles. Four different Pac-10 schools won at least one NCAA title, with UCLA leading the nation with four. Overall, the Conference had 21 teams finish in the top three at NCAA Championship events. Participation in the postseason was a common occurrence for the Pac-10 in 2002-03. Of the 22 sports sponsored by the Pac-10, 18 witnessed at least half its teams participating in the postseason, including individuals from 22 of Washington’s 23 sports.
