Since beginning his tenure as<br />

<strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s seventh<br />

president on Jan. 1, 2009, Mark P.<br />

Becker has launched a major strategic<br />

planning initiative focused on positioning<br />

the university to become one of<br />

the nation’s premier urban universities.<br />

Embracing its commitments to recognized<br />

excellence in both education and<br />

research, as well as its unique location in<br />

and commitment to Atlanta, the university<br />

is rising to new levels of accomplishment<br />

and impact.<br />

Under Becker’s leadership, GSU in<br />

2011 approved and began implementation<br />

of its 10-year Strategic Plan, whose<br />

mission is to position <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />

“as a dynamic academic community<br />

where teaching and research combine<br />

to produce leaders and create solutions<br />

to conquer the challenges of the 21st<br />

century.”<br />

In 2010 Becker oversaw the launch of<br />

the Second Century Initiative for faculty<br />

excellence, or “2CI.” This initiative is<br />

recruiting additional faculty members<br />

to <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> to build internationally<br />

recognized scholarly strength and critical<br />

mass in areas of priority.<br />

Seeking to recognize the importance<br />

and influence of international commerce<br />

and technology for <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> students<br />

and researchers, Becker has worked to<br />

enhance <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s global<br />

reach, the cornerstone of which was the<br />

2010 opening of GSU’s Confucius Institute,<br />

a partnership with the Beijing<br />

Language and Culture <strong>University</strong> and<br />

one of the first business-oriented Confucius<br />

Institutes in the United <strong>State</strong>s.<br />

In addition, Becker leads a diverse<br />

university whose undergraduate<br />

academic profile continues to rise, and<br />

a number of the university’s excellent<br />

graduate programs enjoy strong national<br />

rankings.<br />

Becker also has overseen a number<br />

of physical improvements and enhancements<br />

including: the opening of the<br />

Parker H. “Pete” Petit Science Center;<br />

the university’s first freshman housing<br />

and dining complex, the Piedmont<br />

North housing and dining complex;<br />

the construction of on-campus Greek<br />

housing; and the purchasing of land for<br />

future growth and expansion in downtown<br />

Atlanta.<br />

Prior to his appointment to <strong>Georgia</strong><br />

<strong>State</strong>, Becker served as executive vice<br />

president for academic affairs and<br />

provost at the <strong>University</strong> of South<br />

Carolina.<br />

Before assuming that role, Becker<br />

spent three years at the <strong>University</strong> of<br />

Minnesota as a biostatistics professor,<br />

dean of the School of Public Health and<br />

assistant vice president of Public Health,<br />

Preparedness and Emergency Response.<br />

From 1989 to 2000, Becker was<br />

a professor and associate dean for<br />

academic affairs at the <strong>University</strong> of<br />

Michigan’s School of Public Health. He<br />

also has held academic appointments at<br />

the <strong>University</strong> of Washington, the <strong>University</strong><br />

of Florida and Cornell <strong>University</strong>.<br />

Becker earned his bachelor’s degree<br />

in mathematics from Towson <strong>State</strong><br />

<strong>University</strong> and his doctorate in statistics<br />

from the Pennsylvania <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />

Active in the Atlanta community,<br />

Becker is a member of the Central<br />

Atlanta Progress Executive Committee;<br />

Atlanta Committee for Progress Board<br />

of Directors; <strong>Georgia</strong> Aquarium Board;<br />

Woodruff Arts Center Board of Trustees;<br />

Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce<br />

Board of Directors; <strong>Georgia</strong> Chamber of<br />

Commerce Board of Directors; <strong>Georgia</strong><br />

Research Alliance Board of Trustees;<br />

Commerce Club Operating Board;<br />

ARCHE (Atlanta Regional Council for<br />

Higher Education) Board; the Coalition<br />

of Urban Serving Universities Board of<br />

Directors; and the World Affairs Council<br />

of Atlanta Board of Directors.<br />

During his career, Becker has been<br />

involved in several professional associations,<br />

including the American Association<br />

for the Advancement of Science, the<br />

International Biometric Society and the<br />

American Statistical Association, where<br />

he is a fellow. He has been principal<br />

investigator on research grants from the<br />

National Institutes of Health and the<br />

National Science Foundation, and he has<br />

published extensively in leading journals<br />

of medicine, public health, and statistics.<br />

Becker has served on a number of editorial<br />

boards, was co-editor of Sociological<br />

Methodology, and was a guest editor for<br />

Sociological Methods and Research and<br />

for the Journal of the American Statistical<br />

Association.<br />

Becker and his wife, Laura Voisinet,<br />

have two grown children, Matthew and<br />

Julia.


In just three years at the helm, <strong>Georgia</strong><br />

<strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> Director of <strong>Athletics</strong><br />

Cheryl L. Levick has overseen the<br />

remarkable transformation of Panther<br />

<strong>Athletics</strong>, from the launch of GSU football<br />

to the enhancement of every sports program<br />

to the announcement that <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> will<br />

move to the Sun Belt Conference on July 1,<br />

2013.<br />

Levick presided over the <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />

football program’s highly successful debut<br />

in 2010, and now, after just two seasons, she<br />

has the Panthers poised for a jump to the<br />

Football Bowl Subdivision, a move that will<br />

continue GSU’s ascent to the forefront of<br />

college athletics.<br />

Her significant imprint extends to the<br />

basketball court as she lured successful head<br />

coach Ron Hunter, who revitalized GSU<br />

basketball in his first season and led the<br />

Panthers to their first postseason berth in a<br />

decade.<br />

Levick’s first three years on the job have<br />

also been marked by dramatic upgrades in<br />

facilities and fund-raising. Annual giving<br />

to the Panther Athletic Club has increased<br />

more than ten-fold, and the two largest gifts<br />

in the history of GSU athletics have been<br />

secured. Construction projects include the<br />

GSU Football Practice Complex, new facilities<br />

for strength and conditioning and sports<br />

medicine, and upgrades to every venue used<br />

by the Panthers.<br />

And the progress continues. In 2012-13,<br />

sand volleyball comes on board as <strong>Georgia</strong><br />

<strong>State</strong>’s 19th sport, complete with a state-ofthe-art<br />

facility on the GSU campus. The new<br />

sand volleyball complex is part of an ambitious<br />

<strong>Athletics</strong> Master Facilities Plan that<br />

Levick has developed to address the needs of<br />

every sport.<br />

One constant amid the change is the<br />

success of GSU student-athletes in the<br />

classroom as the Panthers maintain a<br />

cumulative grade point average over 3.0<br />

while completing more than 5,000 hours of<br />

community service annually.<br />

In 2011, Levick was recognized by the<br />

SportsBusiness Journal as a “Game Changer”<br />

among women in sports business.<br />

With a resume of experience and success<br />

at prestigious athletics programs across the<br />

nation, Levick came to <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> in March<br />

2009 from the <strong>University</strong> of Maryland, where<br />

she served as chief of staff/executive senior<br />

athletic director, overseeing daily management<br />

of the 27-sport program. Her impressive<br />

career includes a total of seven years as<br />

director of athletics at Santa Clara <strong>University</strong><br />

and Saint Louis <strong>University</strong> as well as nearly<br />

two decades in senior administrative positions<br />

at Maryland and Stanford <strong>University</strong><br />

and stints with the Pacific 10 Conference and<br />

the NCAA headquarters.<br />

Levick was named the 2001 Division I<br />

Athletic Administrator of the Year by the<br />

National Association of Collegiate Women<br />

Athletic Administrators (NACWAA). In<br />

2005-06, she received the General Sports<br />

TURF Systems Athletic Director of the Year<br />

Award for the NCAA Division I Central<br />

Region, and she was recognized in both 1998<br />

and 1999 as one of the nation’s Top 25 Female<br />

Sports Executives by Street & Smith’s Sports<br />

Business Journal. She is a past president of<br />

the NCAA Division I-AAA Athletic Directors<br />

Association.<br />

Before going to Maryland in 2007, she<br />

served three years (2004-07) as director of<br />

athletics at Saint Louis, where she led the<br />

transition from Conference USA to the<br />

Atlantic 10 Conference and served as the lead<br />

fundraiser for a new $80 million on-campus<br />

arena and practice complex. In 2006, she<br />

received the Carl O. Bauer Award as the top<br />

amateur sports figure in the St. Louis area.<br />

Levick also spent four years (2000-04) as<br />

director of athletics and recreation at Santa<br />

renovation of the school’s basketball arena.<br />

the 2001 national championship, still the<br />

only NCAA team title in school history.<br />

Prior to Santa Clara, Levick worked 12<br />

years at Stanford as senior associate athletic<br />

director and senior woman administrator.<br />

She served as the primary administrator for<br />

33 varsity programs that won 44 national<br />

championships and six straight Sears Cup<br />

titles during her tenure.<br />

Levick previously served as assistant<br />

commissioner of the Pac-10 Conference,<br />

Formed in 1976 the Sun Belt Conference<br />

quickly rose to the greatest heights of collegiate<br />

athletics by sending a team to the<br />

NCAA Final Four in the league’s first year of<br />

existence. Fast forward 36 years and the league<br />

again finds itself at the pinnacle of collegiate athletics<br />

as a member of the 11-league alliance of the Bowl<br />

Championship Series.<br />

During the 2012-13 season the Sun Belt Conference’s<br />

membership will consist of Arkansas-Little<br />

Rock, Arkansas <strong>State</strong>, Florida Atlantic, FIU, Louisiana-<br />

Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, Middle Tennessee,<br />

North Texas, South Alabama, Troy and Western<br />

Kentucky <strong>University</strong>. Ten of the 11 current Sun Belt<br />

members play football at the Football Bowl Subdivision<br />

(FBS) level.<br />

As the conference moves forward to the year 2013,<br />

the league will be comprised of 12 members with<br />

Arkansas-Little Rock, Arkansas <strong>State</strong>, <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong>,<br />

Florida Atlantic, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-<br />

Monroe, Middle Tennessee, South Alabama, Texas-<br />

Arlington, Texas <strong>State</strong>, Troy and Western Kentucky<br />

<strong>University</strong>. The reformatted league will have 10<br />

football playing members of the 12 total members.<br />

The league’s new look will feature two evenly<br />

matched and geographically logical divisions divided<br />

into an East Division and West Division.<br />

Because of its status as a member of the Football<br />

Bowl Subdivision, the Sun Belt Conference has a<br />

permanent seat on the NCAA’s 18-member Board<br />

of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial<br />

voice on some of the most pressing issues in college<br />

athletics and will always have a role in the implementation<br />

of any future NCAA legislation and guidelines.<br />

The conference’s regional television partnership<br />

with Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS) and<br />

Cox Sports Television (CST) enables live telecasts<br />

of Sun Belt events to reach millions of households.<br />

The addition of volleyball, baseball and softball to the<br />

conference’s television package has resulted in more<br />

national and regional television exposure for the<br />

league than at any time in its history.<br />

Since the 2007 football season, the Sun Belt Conference<br />

ranks fifth out of the 11 FBS conferences in<br />

postseason bowl game winning percentage. In fact,<br />

the Sun Belt Conference ranks ahead of noted “Big<br />

Six” leagues - the ACC, Pac-12 and the Big Ten.<br />

Furthermore, the Sun Belt Conference outpaces its<br />

non-automatic qualifying BCS partners in the WAC,<br />

Conference USA and the MAC.<br />

The world has taken notice of the Sun Belt Conference<br />

as well. Proof of that comes as the league now<br />

has two automatic tie-ins to postseason bowl games.<br />

The R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl agreement<br />

with the Sun Belt Conference ensures that a Sun<br />

Belt team will play in that bowl game through 2013<br />

(the league has sent a team to that game every year<br />

since the game’s inception in 2001). The Sun Belt<br />

Conference also recently signed an extension with<br />

the GoDaddy.com Bowl, played annually in Mobile,<br />

Alabama, that will ensure that a Sun Belt team plays<br />

in that bowl game through 2017.<br />

Over 95 percent of Sun Belt Conference teams<br />

earned a multi-year Academic Progress Rate (APR)<br />

of over 925 as the National Collegiate Athletic<br />

Association (NCAA) released its annual APR report<br />

recently. The most recent APR scores are based<br />

on a multi-year rate that averages scores from the<br />

2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11 academic<br />

years. The Division I Board of Directors set cut<br />

scores of 925 and 900 (out of 1,000) as a threshold<br />

for teams to meet or face possible immediate and<br />

historical sanctions. In total, 95.2 percent of Sun Belt<br />

Conference teams earned a multi-year APR score<br />

over 925. Eight institutions had 100 percent of their<br />

programs score above the 925 mark, those institutions<br />

are: UALR, Denver, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana-<br />

Lafayette, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Troy and<br />

Western Kentucky. The league’s APR numbers are<br />

up compared to a year ago, as Sun Belt Conference<br />

institutions improved from 92.4 percent of all<br />

programs hitting the 925 threshold.<br />

Prominent Sun Belt alumni include NFL Hall of<br />

Fame football player “Mean” Joe Greene (North<br />

Texas) former All-Star baseball player Luis Gonzalez<br />

(South Alabama), former All-Star baseball player Mike<br />

Lowell (2007 MLB World Series MVP, FIU), former<br />

member of the United <strong>State</strong>s Senate and House of<br />

Representatives John Breaux (Louisiana-Lafayette),<br />

country music superstar Tim McGraw (Louisiana-<br />

Monroe) and actor Andy Garcia (FIU).<br />

The conference’s first 36 years have also produced<br />

numerous individual national champions along with<br />

Olympic track medalists including Earl Bell, Tom<br />

Hill and Al Joyner (Arkansas <strong>State</strong>), Hollis Conway<br />

(Louisiana-Lafayette), and Tayna Lawrence (FIU). Old<br />

Dominion’s Anne Donovan, who received the Naismith<br />

Trophy recognizing the nation’s top women’s<br />

basketball player in 1983, helped the United <strong>State</strong>s<br />

win the Olympic gold medal in 1984 and helped the<br />

Lady Monarchs capture the national championship<br />

in 1985.<br />

The conference continues to utilize television to<br />

grow and promote the league and its member<br />

institutions. The Sun Belt Conference signed a new<br />

multi-year agreement with ESPN, Inc. in 2012 that<br />

will result in unprecedented national coverage for<br />

the league. Fans of the Sun Belt Conference can<br />

look forward to seeing more Sun Belt teams playing<br />

on national television on ESPN and ESPN2 and<br />

additionally the new ESPN deal will result in more<br />

coverage on ESPNU. ESPN will continue to televise<br />

the conference’s men’s basketball championship<br />

game for the 32nd straight season in 2013, marking<br />

its longest affiliation with any conference in the<br />

country.<br />

Along with Showalter, Stefanoff was named to the All-Sun Belt first team<br />

after she finished fifth at the conference meet. Kearney and Rubel also<br />

earned all-conference third-team honors by finishing in the Top-15.<br />

The 2012 Sun Belt women’s cross country Coach of the Year, Chris England<br />

enters his second season in charge of the GSU track teams.<br />

“Our coaching staff is extremely motivated and look to push their respective<br />

event groups to form a unified team effort,” said England. “The distance runners<br />

have already established themselves in the Sun Belt and the sprinters<br />

and field events hope to join in on the action and work toward conference<br />

championships.”<br />

The women’s track and field team finished third at the CAA outdoor championships<br />

last year, after winning the conference title in 2011. With 122 points,<br />

the team was only 10 points out of first place, the closest margin separating<br />

the first and third-place teams in the nation.<br />

Distance/Mid-Distance<br />

The distance runners contributed heavily to last year’s finish in the CAA outdoor<br />

championships, led by Katharine Showalter’s win in the steeplechase<br />

and runner-up finish in the 1,500m.<br />

Hannah Stefanoff placed fourth in the 5,000m, while Jennifer Rubel came<br />

in fourth in the 10,000m. Niamh Kearney placed fifth in the 1,500m, while<br />

Alison Bishop and Anna Sinclair finished fifth and sixth, respectively in<br />

the steeplechase.<br />

The Panthers should benefit heavily this year from the momentum garnered<br />

from winning the Sun Belt cross country championship this fall. GSU edged<br />

out Arkansas <strong>State</strong> 52-58 to claim its first conference title since 2001.<br />

Showalter earned five Sun Belt Runner of the Week honors during the cross<br />

country season after picking up one CAA Track Athlete of the Week award<br />

during the 2012 outdoor track and field season.<br />

Hurdles<br />

Seniors Tamara Moore and Leah Norman should be strong contenders<br />

for the Panthers in all varieties of the hurdle events after both earning allconference<br />

honors at last season’s CAA Championship.<br />

Moore was named the 2012 CAA Track Most Outstanding Performer after<br />

winning both the 100m hurdles and 400m hurdles at the conference meet.<br />

The 2011 CAA Rookie of the Year, Moore now has three individual conference<br />

titles and qualified for the 2012 NCAA East Preliminary meet in the<br />

100m hudles.<br />

Norman finished second in the 400m hurdles behind Moore to score eight<br />

points for <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong>. She finished seventh in the event in 2010.<br />

Sprints<br />

With five returning letterwinners and six newcomers, this event group<br />

should be one of the deepest and most productive for <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> this<br />

season. Amy Henry begins her second season in charge of the group after<br />

joining the GSU coaching staff in 2011.<br />

The Panthers return sprinters Wande Brewer, Gabby Brooks, twin sisters<br />

Talia and Tatiana Colbert and Aniya Moore. GSU will also add freshmen<br />

Ravin Gilbert, Marrissa Jenkins, Jaqueline Obi, Katherine Randolph,<br />

Jasmyne Robinson and Kissa Williams to the roster.<br />

Most of these student-athletes are capable of competing in a variety of<br />

events, including sprints, jumps and relays.<br />

Departed senior Charlesha Lightborne competed only one season for<br />

<strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong>, but she made it count. The Bahamas native earned All-CAA<br />

by finishing third in the 100m at the championship meet and qualified for the<br />

NCAA meet in the 200m.<br />

The 4x400m relay team consisting of Moore, Lightborne, Talia Colbert and<br />

Brooks placed third at the CAA meet to claim All-Conference honors. The<br />

Panthers should have plenty of potent combinations to form into successful<br />

relay teams this season as well.<br />

Jumps<br />

Graduate assistant coach Tanaya Lloyd will primarily work with the jumpers.<br />

Lloyd competed in the triple jump last season at Penn <strong>State</strong> and qualified<br />

for the NCAA championships in the event.<br />

Angelia Nugent departed <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> as one of the most decorated<br />

and accomplished jumpers in program history. The native of Paterson, N.J.<br />

reached the finals of the NCAA Championship twice in the triple jump and<br />

was a three-time CAA champion.<br />

Chan Harris was also lost to graduation after finishing third in the high jump<br />

for GSU to earn another All-CAA distinction. The graduate student was also<br />

a standout forward on the Panthers’ women’s basketball team.<br />

Brooks placed third in the long jump to earn All-CAA and was one of four<br />

Panthers to score in the event. Freshman Alexandra Johnson will be a<br />

new high jumper for the Panthers.<br />

Throws<br />

Travis Coleman enters his first season with the program and will lead the<br />

throws crew in addition to heading up the multi-events and vertical jumps<br />

(high jump and pole vault). Coleman was an accomplished thrower at Winthrop<br />

<strong>University</strong> in North Carolina.<br />

GSU returns all three throwers from last year’s squad and add a few more<br />

newcomers to the roster. Two seniors, Kesean Henderson and Sydney<br />

Henry, will lead the squad with a great deal of experience.<br />

Carressa Reeves performed well as a freshman and just missed out on<br />

All-CAA honors in the discus. The Philadelphia native will look to continue<br />

to contribute as a sophomore.<br />

Schedule<br />

<strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> has a number of prestigious meets on the schedule in an<br />

attempt to push the athletes to new heights and personal achievements.<br />

“These meets present an opportunity for the top athletes to qualify at the<br />

Penn and Texas Relays,” said England. “Then, our team trips to the UFC<br />

Invite and Pepsi Florida Relays should motivate the individuals as they<br />

compete against the nation’s best.”<br />

The indoor schedule begins in December 2012 with a trip to Clemson, the<br />

same way the Panthers began last season. The team returns to Clemson<br />

later in the outdoor season on May 4.<br />

The schedule also includes a pair of trips to the newly constructed Birmingham<br />

CrossPlex for the UAB Blazer Invite and the Samford Invite. GSU<br />

visited the CrossPlex three times last indoor season.<br />

New on the schedule is the Sun Belt Indoor Championship on Feb. 23-24.<br />

Since 2005, the Panthers competed in the CAA, which did not have an<br />

indoor championship. Hosted by Arkansas <strong>State</strong>, the meet will take place<br />

in Jonesboro, Ark.<br />

During the outdoor season, <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> has trips to several big meets,<br />

including the nationally renown Penn Relays and Texas Relays, as well as<br />

meets hosted by SEC schools <strong>Georgia</strong>, Florida and Auburn.<br />

<strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> will compete for the Sun Belt Outdoor Championship in<br />

Miami, Fla. on May 10-12. Those who qualify will compete in the NCAA<br />

East Preliminary meet in Greensboro, N.C. Three Panthers qualified for the<br />

Preliminary meet last year.<br />

Chris<br />

England<br />

Head Coach<br />

Third Season<br />

Ohio <strong>State</strong>, ’97<br />

Entering his third season at <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong>, Chris England serves as<br />

head coach for both the Panther cross country and track and field<br />

teams.<br />

During the 2012 cross country season, England led the women’s team to<br />

its first Sun Belt conference championship. GSU edged out Arkansas <strong>State</strong><br />

52-58 and defending champion Western Kentucky for the title in Bowling<br />

Green, Ky.<br />

Subsequently, England was named the 2012 Sun Belt women’s cross<br />

country Coach of the Year. Senior Katharine Showalter was named the<br />

league’s Most Outstanding Performer and became the fifth GSU women’s<br />

runner to advance to the NCAA national championship.<br />

In the first three seasons under his guidance, the Panther cross country<br />

teams have captured a conference title, eight All-Conference honors, a<br />

Runner of the Year and Rookie of the Year awards, one All-District distinction<br />

and eleven conference Runner of the Week awards.<br />

England revived the dormant GSU Cross Country Invitational in 2010 this<br />

time at Nash Farm Battlefield in Hampton, Ga. This was the same course<br />

where the Panthers hosted the 2011 Colonial Athletic Association Cross<br />

Country Championships for the first time since the Panthers joined the<br />

league in 2005.<br />

During his first season in charge of the track and field program, the women’s<br />

team took third place at the CAA meet, winning four individual titles<br />

and earning eleven All-CAA honors. This included Most Outstanding Track<br />

performer Tamara Moore, who finished first in both the 100m hurdles and<br />

400m hurdles.<br />

England came to <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> as head cross country coach in March<br />

2010 after serving three seasons in the same role at Murray <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />

He was elevated to interim track and field coach during July 2011 and<br />

was promoted to the position permanently in 2012.<br />

England guided the Murray <strong>State</strong> women’s cross country program to second<br />

place at the Ohio Valley Conference Championships in 2008 and 2009<br />

— the program’s highest finish in nearly two decades. England’s distance<br />

runners helped Murray <strong>State</strong> to third-place showings at both the indoor and<br />

outdoor conference track and field championships in 2009.<br />

In 2009, England coached the OVC Athlete of the Year for both indoor<br />

and outdoor track in Katelyn Jones (indoor) and Taylor Crawford (outdoor).<br />

Crawford was additionally honored as the top female athlete at the indoor<br />

and outdoor championship meets, and both runners qualified for the 2009<br />

NCAA regionals. Jones was previously named OVC Freshman of the Year<br />

for indoor track in 2008.<br />

in distances from the mile to the marathon in elite races all across the<br />

United <strong>State</strong>s and around the world. In 2006, he won a USA Track & Field<br />

He has earned USATF Level II and Level I coaching certifications.<br />

F<br />

ollowing on the heels of a breakout 2011 season, the <strong>Georgia</strong><br />

<strong>State</strong> track and field teams quietly put together another impressive<br />

year in 2012, setting a new precedent for consistency and<br />

success for the program.<br />

A year after winning their first-ever conference title in 2011, the Panther<br />

women’s squad finished third in a closely-contested CAA championship<br />

on May 4-5 in Fairfax, Va.<br />

With 122 points, the GSU women’s squad fell only 4.5 points behind runner-up<br />

VCU and 10 behind the CAA champions James Madison. This<br />

spread represents the smallest margin between the top three teams at<br />

any conference meet in the nation in 2012.<br />

The point total was also the second highest recorded by a GSU track<br />

and field team, behind only the 133 points scored in 2011 during the<br />

CAA title run. This season marks the fifth time that the Panthers have<br />

finished third in a conference meet.<br />

<strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> was led by three individual CAA champions in four events<br />

in Tamara Moore (100m hurdles, 400m hurdles), Katharine Showalter<br />

(3,000m steeplechase) and Angelia Nugent (triple jump). All told, nine<br />

individuals and one relay team earned All-CAA honors for finishing in the<br />

top three in their events.<br />

The reigning CAA Rookie of the Year, Moore was named the CAA Most<br />

Outstanding Track Performer at the CAA meet after winning both the<br />

100m hurdles and 400m hurdles. Nugent captured her second CAA title<br />

in the triple jump a year after winning both the triple and long jumps.<br />

Nugent also became one of just three Panthers to claim four individual<br />

conference championships, winning in the triple jump, long jump and<br />

4x400m relay over two years. Moore is one of five GSU student-athletes<br />

to have won three conference titles, doing so in the 100m hurdles and<br />

400m hurdles.<br />

Moore, Nugent and Charlesha Lightbourne were the three representatives<br />

for GSU at the 2012 NCAA East Regional meet in Jacksonville,<br />

Fla. on May 24-26. Moore qualified for the quarterfinals of the 100m<br />

hurdles and Lightbourne competed in the 200m dash.<br />

Nugent advanced to the NCAA National Championship in the triple jump<br />

after breaking her own school record with a leap of 13m (42’ 8”). The trip<br />

to the national meet was her second in as many years, making her only<br />

the third Panther track and field athlete with multiple national championship<br />

appearances.<br />

A year after finishing 19th at the NCAA national meet, Nugent was<br />

injured in her first attempt and withdrew from competition.<br />

A native of Paterson, N.J., Nugent concluded her four-year career as<br />

one of the most successful track and field performers in GSU history.<br />

Her accolades include being a six-time All-CAA competitor, four-time<br />

conference champion and a school record holder.<br />

Showalter cruised to a conference victory in the steeplechase, a year<br />

after finishing second in the event. The junior also finished second in the<br />

1,500m to score a total of 18 points for her squad. During the season,<br />

Showalter won the steeplechase at five meets and earned CAA Runner<br />

of the Week honors on April 3.<br />

At the CAA meet, four individuals, including Showalter, scored a total<br />

of 18 points for the Panthers in the steeplechase. In the women’s long<br />

jump, four more Panthers combined to score 15 points, with Gabby<br />

Brooks leading the charge with a third-place finish.<br />

Moore, Lightbourne and Brooks earned additional All-CAA distinctions<br />

as part of the third-place 4x400m relay team, along with teammate Tatiana<br />

Colbert.<br />

Lightbourne combined for nine top-10 finishes in sprint events over the<br />

season, including a third-place finish in the 100m at the conference<br />

championships. The Crown Haven, Bahamas native was named the<br />

CAA Runner of the Week on March 20.<br />

Angelia Nugent<br />

Men’s Competitors<br />

Cross Country stand-out Valentin Poncelet placed fifth in the 5,000m<br />

for the men’s team at the CAA championships. The native of Lillois, Belgium<br />

won the 5,000m race in two meets during the season and the<br />

1,500m race at another and earned CAA Runner of the Week honors<br />

on April 3.<br />

Kacey Rollins also earned a fifth-place finish at the conference meet<br />

in the 110m hurdles. The sophomore compiled five top 10 finishes in<br />

hurdle events over the 2012 season.<br />

Senior Chris Harper finished his career as a Panther with a sixth-place<br />

finish in the 1,500m at the CAA meet while sprinter Chris Miles crossed<br />

the finish line seventh in the 100m dash for <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong>.<br />

Wrap-up Combined Notes<br />

Twelve seniors (nine for the women and three for the men) concluded<br />

their time at <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> during the 2012 season. But a strong class of<br />

juniors, including Moore, Showalter, Norman and Brooks, will return as<br />

they look to continue the success experienced in 2011.<br />

The GSU track and field student-athletes earned 42 academic honors<br />

over the fall and spring semesters. Ten indiviudals were named to the<br />

President’s List over both semesters, 17 made the Dean’s List and 15<br />

were placed on the AD’s Honor Roll.<br />

Redshirt junior Kelsey Spinks was awarded the Brude LaBudde<br />

Sportsmanship Award at the 2012 GSU Blue Carpet awards. The award<br />

is named for former GSU cross country coach Bruce LaBudde. Sophomore<br />

Anna Sinclair was named to the GSU All-Academic team at the<br />

banquet.<br />

The 2012 season for the <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> track and field team was the<br />

first under interim head coach Chris England and assistant coach Amy<br />

Henry. England has served as the head cross country coach and distance<br />

coach since 2010.<br />
