Leading the way are senior attackers Krystal Barkley(Flushing) and Kim Travis (Shepherd). Barkley played her firsttwo years of collegiate volleyball at Kellogg Community College. Inher first season at Olivet, she played in 78 sets, recording 93 killsand 47 blocks. Travis returned to the lineup last year after missingthe entire 2007 season with aninjury. In her career at Olivet, shehas 306 kills to go along with 212digs and 48 blocks.

MICHIGAN INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

The Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA)is America’s oldest collegiate athletic conference.

The 2009-10 school year marks the 123rd consecutiveyear of operation for the NCAA Division III affil iatedconference. The MIAA was founded March 24, 1888. Fromthe very beginning, the MIAA has conducted full-seasonchampionships in multiple sports. There have been changesin some of the sports (bicycle racing and Indian club jugglinghave long since disappeared, and basketball did not evenexist in 1888), but these changes have served to developthe MIAA into one of America’s finest NCAA Division IIIconferences, today offering 18 sports for men and women.

The MIAA’s continuity is noteworthy. Of the 12 schoolsthat have had full membership, eight are still members —Adrian, Albion, Alma, Calvin, Hope, Kalamazoo, Olivet, andSaint Mary’s. Significantly, not one of these eight collegeshas ever belonged to any other formal league. Albion andOlivet were charter members although Albion is the onlymember to hold continuous membership. Ex-members areMichigan State University (1888-1907), Eastern MichiganUniversity (1892-1926), Hillsdale College (1888-1960), andDefiance College (1997-2000).

The MIAA’s membership list went unchanged from 1960until 1997 when the Defiance College of Ohio and SaintMary’s College of Indiana were invited to join. It also markedthe first time that the league added members outside thestate of Michigan. The league stipulated, however, that thename of the conference would not change. The inauguralyear of current members are: Adrian (1908), Albion (1888),Alma (1902), Calvin (1953), Hope (1926), Kalamazoo(1896), Olivet (1888), and Saint Mary’s (1997).

The MIAA marked a historic note in 2002 when theleague accepted Wisconsin Lutheran College of Milwaukeeas an associate member for the purpose of competing infootball. Wisconsin Lutheran left the MIAA after the 2007season to join the Northern Athletics Conference.

Trine University of Angola, Ind., became a conferencemember in 2004-05 upon its acceptance as a provisionalNCAA member.
