OLYMPIANS & OLYMPIC COACHESCALIFORNIA’S

OLYMPICTRADITION

One of the University of California’sproudest accomplishments is itshonored Olympic tradition.

One of just a few colleges to have producedmore than 100 U.S. Olympians (in all sports),Golden Bear track & field athletes have playedperhaps the largest role in this heritage.

It started in 1912, as Fred Allen traveled toStockholm, Sweden, to outleap U.S. teammateJim Thorpe in the long jump (22-9 1/4) en routeto a sixth-place finish.

In all, 43 Cal track & field athletes have made57 appearances in 20 Olympic Games, capturingsix gold medals, three silver medals and fourbronze medals along the way.

There are several Olympic standouts whohave also donned the California blue & gold, butnone may be more remembered than BrickMuller, Archie Williams and Eddie Hart.

Muller, the legendary star of Cal’s famed“Wonder Teams” in the 1920’s on the footballfield showed his great all-around athletic abilitywhen he earned a silver medal in the 1920 Gamesat Antwerp, Belgium, with a high jump mark of6-2 3/4.

Old Blues were sure to beam with pride at the1936 Games in Berlin, Germany, when blackquartermiler Archie Williams broke the worldrecord in the 400 meters and went on to win thegold medal in the same event in front of AdolfHitler and his fellow Germans (this was thesame Games where Jesse Owens claimed fourgolds).

And anyone close to the sport of track & fieldcannot forget the saga of sprinter Eddie Hart atthe 1972 Games in Munich, West Germany. His

Olympic coach gave him the wrong starting timefor the semi-finals of the 100 meters, as Hartshowed up late and was disqualified. The odds-on favorite for the gold, the classy Hart refusedto blame the coach for the error and insteadturned his attentions to the 400-meter relay, ashe anchored the U.S. squad to the gold medal ina world record time (38.19).

The 1988 Games in Seoul, South Korea, sawformer Cal standout Dave Steen earn the bronzemedal in the decathlon for his native Canada,while California ace Atlee Mahorn raced to fifthplace in the 200 meters, and ran a leg on Canada’sseventh-place 400-meter relay team.

The 1992 Olympiad in Barcelona, Spain, alsohad a strong Cal representation. Ramon Jimenez-Gaona competed for Paraguay in the discus.Golden Bear head coach Erv Hunt was anassistant coach for the United States team, whileCal assistant coach Ken Flax competed for theUSA in the hammer throw.

The 1996 Games in Atlanta, Ga., featuredfour Golden Bear athletes and one head coach.Hunt served as the head men’s track & fieldcoach, making him the third Cal coach to lead theUSA team. For the U.S., Chris Huffins placed10th in the decathlon (8300 points) and SheilaHudson earned 11th place in the triple jump (46-0). Thomas McGuirk competed in the 400mhurdles (50.76) for Ireland, and Ramon Jimenez-Gaona competed in his second Olympic Gamesfor Paraguay in the discus (201-4).

At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Cal wasrepresented by Huffins in the decathlon (U.S.),McGuirk in the 400m hurdles (Ireland) and 2001All-American Bolota Asmerom in the 5000m(Eritrea). Huffins won the bronze medal (8,595points) in the decathlon, becoming the first Calathlete to win a track and field medal since Steenclaimed the bronze in the decathlon in 1988.

CAL OLYMPIC FACTSTotal number of competitors: 41 athletes in 57 appearances in 20 Games.Most appearances: 3 - Dave Steen and Bruce Kennedy.

Steen competed for his native Canada (1980, 1984, 1988) in the decathlon, earning aBronze Medal in 1988, while Kennedy competed twice for his native Rhodesia in 1972& ’76. He then made the USA team in 1980, but did not compete due to the Americanboycott.

Medal Count: 13 (6 Gold, 3 Silver, 4 Bronze).Most Individual Medals: No Cal Olympian has ever won more than one Olympic medal.Strangest Fact: John Merchant competed in the 1920 Games in the long jump, and in the

1924 Games in the hammer throw.

THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA

The University of California is one of the world’s leading academicinstitutions. The school, known throughout the world as “Cal,” istruly a prototype of a contemporary university. It attracts what

many consider the finest applicant pool in the country, generates anethnically and culturally diverse student population on campus, andprovides one of the finest undergraduate and graduate learning experiencesin the world today.

WORLD-CLASS FACULTYAND STUDENTS

The Berkeley campus is renowned for the size and quality of its librariesand laboratories, the scope of its research and publications, and thedistinction of its faculty and students. National rankings consistentlyplace Cal’s undergraduate and graduate programs among the very best. Thefaculty includes eight Nobel Laureates, 121 members of the NationalAcademy of Sciences, 15 MacArthur Fellows, 110 Fulbright Scholars,three Pulitzer Prize winners and more Guggenheim Fellows and PresidentialYoung Investigators than any other university in the country.

The quality of Cal’s diverse and independent student body complementsthe stature of the faculty. More than 30,000 students annually enroll atCal. Of these, about 22,000 are undergraduates, while about 9,000 aregraduate students. Students come to Berkeley from all over California, inaddition to every state in the union and more than 2,000 students from 75countries around the world.

The undergraduate student body can best be characterized by itsdiversity; there is no one racial or ethnic majority. Students reflect all agegroups, and economic, cultural and geographic backgrounds. This dynamicmix produces the wide range of opinion and perspective essential to a greatuniversity.

THE BAY AREAOverlooking San Francisco Bay, the campus is a lush and tranquil 1,232-

acre oasis in an urban setting. The grounds have retained much of the beautyof their rural beginnings. Spacious lawns, hiking and running trails, as wellas groves of oak, redwood and eucalyptus blend with the Neo-classicalarchitecture of John Galen Howard. The University is bordered by thewooded rolling hills of Tilden Regional Park and the City of Berkeley, oneof America’s most lively, culturally diverse and politically adventurousmunicipalities.

UNMATCHED ACADEMICREPUTATION

By any standard, the University of California offers its students one ofthe best educations available. Since its birth more than 130 years ago, it hasearned a reputation unmatched by any public university in America.According to a recent study by the National Research Council, 35 of Cal’s36 doctoral programs were ranked in the Top 10 nationally, the highestpercentage of any institution in the country.

Although Cal is well known for its stellar graduate programs,undergraduate teaching is a campus priority. Nearly half of all coursesoffered at the undergraduate level have 25 students or fewer, and manylecture courses include smaller laboratory or study group sections whichallow close interaction with professors and other instructors.

Cal offers a wide arena for academic endeavor and personal growth withmore than 7,000 courses in nearly 300 degree programs. Exceptionalsupport services such as the Student Learning Center, Career and GraduateSchool Services, the Disabled Students’ Program, and campus and alumnimentor programs reflect Cal’s strong commitment to undergraduateeducation. Study abroad is available to undergraduate students through theEducation Abroad Program, which maintains more than 90 study centersin countries such as Australia, Costa Rica, Egypt, Hong Kong, NewZealand and Thailand.

Each year, more than 8,500 students receive degrees from the University- about 5,500 bachelor’s degrees, 2,000 master’s degrees, 900 doctoratesand 200 law degrees.

ATHLETIC EXCELLENCEThe excellence of the University’s intercollegiate athletic program rivals

the school’s academic reputation as Cal boasts one of the finest all-aroundprograms in the nation. Twenty-seven sports - men’s and women’sbasketball, crew, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, swimming anddiving, tennis, track and field and water polo; men’s baseball, football andrugby; along with women’s softball, volleyball, field hockey and lacrosse- are sponsored by the University. Over the years, Cal has captured morethan 55 national team championships - including men’s crew and rugby in1999 - while claiming over 100 NCAA individual championships in avariety of sports.

OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOMA myriad of activities also goes on outside the classroom. There are more

than 350 registered student organizations, such as the Marching Band,Hang Gliding Club, radio station KALX, ethnic associations, humor andliterary magazines, debate team, Cal Corps (volunteer programs), Cal inthe Capitol/Sacramento, and political organizations.

In addition, Cal has a host of other features, including public lectures andconcerts, campus-sponsored forums and seminars, clubs and workshops,dramatic presentations, international festivals, art, photographic, design,architectural, anthropological and archaeological exhibits and displays, anddozens of bookstores within one-square mile - all of this making Berkeleyone of the most intellectually stimulating communities in the country.

STEPHEN GLADSTONEAthletic Director

When Steve Gladstone was named Cal’s newDirector of Athletics and Recreational Sports onApril 30, 2001, it was viewed by some as a ratherunconventional selection, as Gladstone isn’t yourtypical athletic administrator who has spent yearsand years behind a desk.

However, Chancellor Robert Berdahl clearlywanted a unique person with unique leadershipabilities. He wanted a person with the skill to lead

the school’s Athletic Department in a new direction, one that bothembraces the school’s rich academic tradition along with an unswervingcommitment to find similar success in the athletic arena.

Berdahl found that leadership and vision in the 60-year-old Gladstone,who has spent most of his lifetime in the coaching profession, working sideby side with student-athletes in achieving one remarkable success storyafter another as this country’s premier crew coach.

If there is one principal that will guide the administrative philosophyof Gladstone, it is to put the student-athlete first in any decision that ismade. It comes from being on the frontline in world of competition, andit means that finding the resources for both the coaching staff, andultimately the student-athlete, will be priority No. 1 in the Gladstoneadministration.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT

One of the real success stories for the University of California inrecent years is the development and growth of a comprehensivesupport program for its student-athletes - the Athletic Study

Center.In 1984, campus officials and Athletic Department administrators

decided that a greater emphasis needed to be placed on helping Cal student-athletes with their academic pursuits. The Athletic Study Center was thusborn and charged with developing an academic support program geared tothe needs of NCAA Division I student-athletes. It was a significantdevelopment for an academically-oriented institution such as Cal torecognize the special needs required for a modern student-athlete’s successboth as an athletic competitor and in the classroom.

PROGRAM FORSTUDENT-ATHLETES

The Athletic Study Center, which is housed under the University’sStudent Life Educational Development cluster, is the tutorial and academicsupport program for the nearly 1,000 student-athletes at Cal. Centrally-located in the Cesar Chavez Student Center, the program provides aspacious and comfortable arboretum for quiet study, separate classroomsfor individual and group tutorials, and a computer lab for word processingand required course work.

Geared around the understanding of the amount of time student-athletesmust devote to practice, training, physical therapy and team travel, theprogram creates an environment where students can cultivate good studyhabits, receive individual or group tutoring and obtain counseling fromacademic advisors.

TUTORIAL PROGRAMThe tutorial component promotes and enhances students’ academic

skills and progress by providing individual tutoring, group workshops,study groups, credit courses and intensive special programs. The programfocuses mainly on freshman and sophomores, and the Center uses between50-60 tutors per semester to guarantee that as many courses as possibleare covered. Tutorial sessions are also offered at night enabling student-athletes to receive help after practices when they have more time to devoteto studying.

ADVISINGPROGRAM

The advising component offers a broadrange of services and programs to meet theunique needs and bipolar demands of student-athletes, including assistance in understandingand complying with University, college andNCAA rules, developing time managementskills and resolving personal issues unique to

student-athletes. During the freshman year, advisors typically try to helpstudent-athletes make a successful academic transition from high school,while during the sophomore year, they assist student-athletes in makingdecisions on appropriate majors and fields of study. For the final twoyears, advisors take more of an exiting approach, ensuring that properacademic progress is being made and referring juniors and seniors to areason campus that can help with internships, graduate school applications andcareer planning.

SPECIAL PROGRAMSIn addition, the Athletic Study Center offers a six-week Summer Bridge

adjunct program designed to help ease the transition from high school tocollege. The primary components for the program include writing and mathworkshops, an advising workshop, study skills seminars and an eveningtutorial program.

Another special program offered is Peer Advising. Peer advisors provideacademic and campus life guidance for new intercollegiate athletes. Theyare selected from junior and senior student-athletes and assist in developingprograms to further address the needs of student-athletes.

Student-athletes have access to severalworkstations in the computer center forword processing and required course work.

EDWARDS STADIUM

Long considered one of the finest track &field facilities in the world, the Universityof California’s Edwards Stadium has a

legacy unmatched in collegiate track & field. Notonly has the facility been host to some of thebest individual performances in the sport’shistory, but Edwards Stadium also stands in oneof the most beautiful settings in the nation, withpanoramic views of the Berkeley Hills andStrawberry Canyon to the east, and the SanFrancisco Bay, Golden Gate Bridge, and the cityskyline to the west.

Cal’s track teams returned home to EdwardsStadium/Goldman Field for the 2000 seasonafter a year hosting meets away from Berkeleywhile the stadium reconstruction project wascompleted. Edwards Stadium was the site forthe 2001 Pac-10 Championships and also hostedthe 1993 Pac-10 meet. Bids will be presented inthe near future to host upcoming NCAA andTAC National Championship events.

With a seating capacity of 22,000, EdwardsStadium for years had the distinction of beingthe largest exclusive track & field facility in theUnited States. Beginning with the 1999-00 schoolyear, the Cal men’s and women’s soccer teamsadopted Edwards Stadium’s infield – GoldmanField – as their home venue.

Over the years, Edwards Stadium haswitnessed 11 world records, 16 Americanrecords, and 18 collegiate records. The lastworld mark to fall in Berkeley was in 1978, asWashington State’s Henry Rono clocked 13:06.4in the 5,000-meter run. On a cinder surface in1966 - before a Tartan all-weather surface wasadded in 1977 - a University of Kansas freshmanby the name of Jim Ryun clocked a remarkable3:51.3 mile, a mark which stood as the worldrecord for close to 10 years.

Named after Col. George C. Edwards, thefacility opened in 1932 as the only stadium inthe world built for track & field use only. Sincethat time, Edwards Stadium has hosted eightNCAA Championship meets (more than anyother site), a National AAU Championship, theAll-American Invitational in 1966, the 1971 &’78 USA vs. USSR dual-meets, six KennedyGames, the Brooks Meet of Champions and theKinney Invitational.

In 1967, the oval itself was dedicated in thename of Walter Christie, California’s first track& field coach (1900-32), and in the early 1960’s,the “Friends of California Track” raised funds tobuild the Walter Christie Bench, which standsjust outside the running track on the west sideof the field. With funds that remained after thebench was built, the electric clock that sits atopthe scoreboard to the north was purchased. A173-seat press box sits atop the westgrandstands.
