Head Coach

J.D. Malone

J.D. Malone enters the 2012-13 school year in his 14th season as the head coach of the Warhawk track & field program, and his 20th year overall with the institution. Malone has had the second longest tenure of any coach in ULM history, behind only storied coach Bob Groseclose. Over his head coaching career, Malone has coached a total of 218 all-conference athletes, 43 conference champions, 35 NCAA national qualifiers, and four academic All-Americans.

The 2012 editions of the ULM track and field teams fielded a grand total of 27 all-conference performers, a single year high for Malone’s tenure. The Warhawks have

qualified athletes for the NCAA national meet in each of the last five years, resulting in three All-American performances. Malone’s time at ULM has also featured the first cross country NCAA national meet qualifier in Warhawk history, Daniel Mutai in 2010.

Malone, a USA Track and Field Level II certified coach, handles the ULM sprinters and hurdlers during the season. Un-der his tutelage, the program has garnered the second 100 meter dash All-American in its history (Luther Ambrose, 2010) and has racked up over 100 all-conference sprinters. For his efforts, Malone was named the Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year in 2010, and the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Cross Country Coach of the Year in 2002. He led the men’s squad to a runner up finish at the 2010 Sun Belt Outdoor Conference Championships.

ULM had a pair of NCAA qualifiers during the 2009 campaign in Heather Davis and Richard McKay. For Davis it was her third consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships. The Warhawks had nine NCAA Regional qualifiers and also took home five titles at the Sun Belt Outdoor Championships.

In 2008, Kyle Kent finished sixth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships to earn All-American honors. Also that season, Davis advanced to her second-straight NCAA Outdoor Championship in the high jump. Four Warhawk athletes won conference titles led by Davis’ high jump championships in both the indoor and outdoor Sun Belt meets. Kent won the outdoor javelin and Destiny Montemayor claimed the Sun Belt title in the weight throw.

He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at the University of Alabama in 1987 before moving to an assistant coach position at Louisiana Tech in 1989. He helped coach the Bulldogs to the American South Conference title in 1990 before leaving to come to the University of Louisiana at Mon-roe.

Malone graduated from Louisiana Tech with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics education in 1986. He received his master’s degree in the same subject from Alabama in 1991. Malone is married to the former Jennifer Bonin of Gonzales, La. They have two sons, Logan and Gannon. Malone also serves as a ULM FCA sponsor.

He also set the school record in the javelin in 2008 with a throw of 66.85 meters, and was a two-time Outdoor WAC champion in the discus (2009 & 2010).

A three-time district champion in the discus at Ruston High School, Jones was also the 2005 district champion for javelin. He claimed state championships in the discus in 2005 and 2006, setting the Louisiana 5A record in the process. A high school All-American selection, Jones was the 2005 National Junior Olympic Champion in the discus, and was named Mr. Field Louisiana in 2006.

Erik Vance begins his third season as an assistant coach with the ULM track and field program. Vance works with the jumpers and pole vaulters.

A native of Panhandle, Texas, Vance joins the ULM coaching staff after spending the past two seasons at LSU, where he worked as a volunteer assistant coach with the horizontal and vertical jumpers. While at LSU, Vance obtained his master’s degree in kinesiology.

A USATF certified Level I and Level II jumps coach, Vance competed collegiately at Baylor University, where he was a Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll and All-Academic Team honoree.

Vance graduated from Baylor in 2008 with a degree in health science studies.

Karoly Varga enters his second season as the cross country head coach at ULM.

SUN BELT CONFERENCE

Formed in 1976 the Sun Belt Conference quickly rose to the greatest heights of col-legiate athletics by sending a team to the NCAA Final Four in the league’s first year of existence. Fast forward 36 years and the league again finds itself at the pinnacle of collegiate athletics as a member of the 11-league alliance of the Bowl Championship Series.

During the 2012-13 season the Sun Belt Conference’s membership will consist of Arkansas-Little Rock, Arkansas State, Florida Atlantic, FIU, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, South Alabama, Troy and Western Kentucky University. Ten of the 11 current Sun Belt members play football at the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level.

As the conference moves forward to the year 2013, the league will be comprised of 12 members with Arkansas-Little Rock, Arkansas State, Georgia State, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, Middle Tennessee, South Alabama, Texas-Arlington, Texas State, Troy and Western Kentucky University. The reformatted league will have 10 football playing members of the 12 total members. The league’s new look will feature two evenly matched and geographically logical divisions divided into an East Division and West Division.

Because of its status as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 18-member Board of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics and will always have a role in the implementation of any future NCAA legisla-tion and guidelines.

The conference continues to utilize television to grow and promote the league and its member institutions. The Sun Belt Conference signed a new multi-year agreement with ESPN, Inc. in 2012 that will result in unprecedented national coverage for the league. Fans of the Sun Belt Conference can look forward to seeing more Sun Belt teams playing on national television on ESPN and ESPN2 and additionally the new ESPN deal will result in more coverage on ESPNU. ESPN will continue to televise the conference’s men’s basketball championship game for the 32nd straight season in 2013, marking its longest affiliation with any conference in the country.

The conference’s regional television partnership with Comcast/Charter Sports South-east (CSS) and Cox Sports Television (CST) enables live telecasts of Sun Belt events to reach millions of households. The addition of volleyball, baseball and softball to the conference’s television package has resulted in more national and regional television exposure for the league than at any time in its history.

Success has been easy to find in recent years as well.

Since the 2007 football season, the Sun Belt Conference ranks fifth out of the 11 FBS conferences in postseason bowl game winning percentage. In fact, the Sun Belt Conference ranks ahead of noted “Big Six” leagues – the ACC, Pac-12 and the Big Ten. Furthermore, the Sun Belt Conference outpaces its non-automatic qualifying BCS partners in the WAC, Conference USA and the MAC.

The world has taken notice of the Sun Belt Conference as well. Proof of that comes as the league now has two automatic tie-ins to postseason bowl games. The R+L Carri-ers New Orleans Bowl agreement with the Sun Belt Conference ensures that a Sun Belt team will play in that bowl game through 2013 (the league has sent a team to that game every year since the game’s inception in 2001). The Sun Belt Conference also recently signed an extension with the GoDaddy.com Bowl, played annually in Mobile, Alabama, that will ensure that a Sun Belt team plays in that bowl game through 2017.

Sun Belt member institutions showed continued progress with the latest release of the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores and the future of the league’s APR scores looks bright as well. In 2011, the Division I Board of Directors voted to move the mini-mum academic standard for postseason participation from 900 to 930. Additionally, the previous benchmark score of 925 that could result in sanctions will also change to 930. The new postseason eligibility structure will take effect in the 2012-13 academic year, with a two-year implementation window before the benchmark moves from 900 to 930. For access to postseason competition in 2012-13 and 2013-14, teams must achieve a 900 multi-year APR or a 930 average over the most recent two years to be eligible. Fortunately for the Sun Belt, the good news is that 94 percent of current member institutions are already scoring at or above the 930 mark. The most recent APR scores are multi-year rates based on the scores from the 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11 academic years.

Prominent Sun Belt alumni include NFL Hall of Fame football player “Mean” Joe Greene (North Texas) former All-Star baseball player Luis Gonzalez (South Alabama), former All-Star baseball player Mike Lowell (2007 MLB World Series MVP, FIU), former member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives John Breaux (Louisiana-Lafayette), country music superstar Tim McGraw (Louisiana-Monroe) and actor Andy Garcia (FIU).

The conference’s first 36 years have also produced numerous individual national cham-pions along with Olympic track medalists including Earl Bell, Tom Hill and Al Joyner (Arkansas State), Hollis Conway (Louisiana-Lafayette), and Tayna Lawrence (FIU). Old Dominion’s Anne Donovan, who received the Naismith Trophy recognizing the nation’s top women’s basketball player in 1983, helped the United States win the Olympic gold medal in 1984 and helped the Lady Monarchs capture the national championship in 1985.

ULM EARNS ELITE CERTIFICATION FOR ATHLETIC COUNSELORS ULM has become only one of 20 institutions in the country to earn certification for athletic counselors from the National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletics or N4A.

N4A offers certification to college and university academic support programs for student athletes through an extensive and rigorous application process.

The purpose of program certification is to ensure that an academic support unit can provide a basic set of services to student-athletes.

“The level of professionalism demonstrated by the academic counselors and the entire staff in pursuing this accreditation is remarkable,” commented Brett Bennett, assistant professor and head of ULM’s department of Radiologic Technology.

Bennett serves as the university’s Faculty Athletic Representative.

“Since Dr. Bruno arrived and made the structural changes to the athletic department, we have seen the academic performance of the student-athlete improve greatly,” continued Bennett.

According to the N4A website, certification demonstrates that a program uses industry-respected standards and best practices. Certification can improve overall performance, remove uncertainty, and widen market opportunities.

Certification also helps to demonstrate that the university support program for student-athletes is run effectively.

“We certainly are excited about this recent honor,” said Bobby Staub, ULM Athletic Director.

“It validates the approach we’ve taken, which has been made through the tireless efforts of so many on our campus, particularly our academic counselors. This is truly great news and well deserved.”

ACADEMIC SUCCESS

Academic support programs for student-athletes are designed to assist them with their goal of graduation. Recognizing which universities and colleges have a demonstrated commitment to the academic support of student-athletes is critical information for athletes to consider when selecting a school.

“Next to watching these student-athletes walk across the stage at commencement, this is about as good as it gets,” said Dr. Kathy Parker, coordinator of Athletic Academic Counseling in the Clarke M. Williams Student Success Center.

“I am lucky to have great student-athletes, coaches, and a director who are supportive of our efforts; and peers, colleagues and superiors who appreciate good work.”

“Our job as athletic academic counselors is not to make life easy for student-athletes, but to act in a manner consistent with what is in their long-term best interests,” continued Parker.

“This certification bestowed by those who are experts in the field tells me that we are doing the right things for the right reasons.”

ULM joins Louisiana State University as the only other Louisiana institution to be certified.

To earn the certification, ULM was subject to site visit to ensure that all aspects of certification were met.

“It was my pleasure to conduct ULM’s N4A certification review,” stated Christine Jackson, past N4A President and current Director of Student Services at the University of Louisville.

“The commitment that President Bruno, Athletics Director Staub, and Director of Retention Mrs. Michaelides have to the ULM’s student-athletes should be commended. To be one of twenty institutions earning an N4A certification is a tremendous honor. ULM’s dedication to their student-athletes’ well-being was evident on my visit.”

Barbara Michaelides, Director of Retention and head of the Office of Athletic Academics, spearheaded the push toward certification.

“The N4A certification confirms that ULM student-athletes are receiving the best academic services possible to promote academic excellence. I am proud of our team - Dr. Kathy Parker, Ms. Meghan Eddy, and Mr. Mike Anderson - whose dedication and commitment foster positive academic outcomes for athletics. We are also privileged to work with many offices across campus and a great coaching staff in support of ULM student-athletes, a team effort that makes ULM stand out.” The ULM Student Athlete Services program focuses on five areas:

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: Social development, personal health, alcohol and drug education, fundamental values, ethics awareness, values clarification, emotional health,support groups, stress management, spiritual needs, peer counseling and fiscal responsibility.

The ULM Strength and Conditioning Department is built around enhancing our athlete’s ability to perform both physically and mentally, on and off the field of play. Physically our objective is to prepare our athletes to compete at a championship level and to prevent injury on and off the field. This is attained by training at a maximal level

and incorporating both sport specific and position specific exercises in the weight room and on the field. Our various “prehab” techniques and close partnership with the Athletic Training Department allows us to keep our athletes safe

and prevent injury before it occurs. Mentally our objective is to prepare our athletes for the rigors and demands of competition on the field and in life. We look to enhance our athletes’ ability to maintain a high level of focus, ma-turity, discipline, responsibility, accountability, loyalty, and competitiveness. The ULM Strength and Conditioning

Program adheres to and supports all aspects of the NCAA and the Sun Belt Conference.

It is the mission of the ULM Athletic Training Department to provide reasonable medical coverage for all student-athletes who compete in intercollegiate athletics at ULM. In addition to providing medical coverage for student-

athletes, it is also the mission of the ULM Athletic Training Department to facilitate educational development of the athletic training students through clinical instruction.

THE RISE OF THE WARHAWKS Moving into the Sun Belt Conference in the 2006-07 season, ULM’s athletic department completed a transformation of sorts. Unique to the program, ULM’s Warhawk moniker is the only one at the highest level of NCAA competition and one of only two Warhawks at any collegiate level in the entire nation.

ULM’s Warhawks provide fans with multiple points of pride to rally behind. The mascot holds local historical connection to the P-40 ‘Warhawk’ airplane flown by northeast Louisiana’s General Claire Chennault and the Flying Tigers of WWII. The Warhawk is also symbolic of the red-shouldered hawk, a local predatory bird commonly found nesting along Bayou DeSiard and soaring above ULM’s athletic facilities year round.

On August 30, 2006, ULM mascot ‘ACE THE WARHAWK’ landed. Wearing bomber jacket, flight helmet and goggles, Ace has provided a perfect representation of the dual meaning of ULM’s mascot. Less than two months later, WARHAWK I, a live red-shouldered hawk permanently housed at the Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo in Monroe, La., was added to the ULM family of mascots. Warhawk II now resides at the zoo.

Since their arrival, ACE and Warhawk II have become vital parts of the ULM community. Including appearances at home athletic events and other activities around campus, the duo rally fans to help the Warhawks achieve victory. The pair also make appearances across the Monroe and West Monroe community, providing educational opportunities

for ULM’s youngest fans.

The ULM Jr. Warhawk Club is a special membership group for Warhawk fans age 12 and younger. One-year memberships are available and members receive season tickets to all home Warhawk athletic events, a Jr. Warhawk Club t-shirt, membership card and invitations to exclusive Jr. Warhawls Club events.

WE ARE WARHAWKS

The rafters at Fant-Ewing Coliseum are full and the trophy cases across campus are overflowing with the fruits of ULM’s athletic successes. Beginning with a men’s cross country and track and field conference championship in 1958-59, the Warhawks have a storied run at the top of the standings in each sport over the athletic program’s history.

From national championships to basketball Final Fours and collegiate baseball World Series appearances, fans at ULM have become accustomed to watching their teams compete - and win - at the highest level. The Warhawks have advanced to the national semifinals of major tournaments in six different sports and ULM has claimed more than 90 conference championships.

The ULM men’s squads have claimed all-sports titles 14 times, including four in the Gulf States Conference (1963, ‘64, ‘65, ‘69), the Atlantic Sun (1980, ‘81, ‘82), and the Southland Conference (1984, ‘88, ‘90, ‘91, ‘92, ‘93, ‘94). The ULM women have grabbed all-sports titles six times in the Southland Conference (1984, ‘85, ‘87, ‘88, ‘90, ‘94). During the 1984 SLC season, ULM became the first program in conference history to win all sports titles on both the men’s and women’s side. The Warhawks would accomplish the feat three more times.

After conquering the Southland Conference, ULM made the move to the Sun Belt Conference and has continued its winning ways. Before the Warhawks had even become full members of their new league, the team had won a football conference championship in 2005. One year later, ULM won a divisional title in men’s basketball and followed that up one season later with a 2008 regular season championship in baseball.
