2009-10 Season PreviewThe Boise State men’s tennis team will have some familiar faces from last season, but many new faces will appear on the court as well this season. The Broncos return seven from their 2008-09 roster, only two with an abundance of playing time, three with limited playing time and two with no match time. The team also welcomes three players who are sure to make a major impact immediately and help the returnees build on the successful past of Boise State tennis.

“This season reminds me of a new edition of Star Trek,” ex-claimed head coach Greg Patton. “We will take all of the suc-cesses we’ve had in the past years, add new actors to the screen, but follow the same storyline we’ve had in the past.”

The Broncos will look to top-returners James Meredith and Cristian Hodel to lead the team this season. Meredith was the No. 3 singles and No. 1 doubles player last season while Hodel played primarily in the No. 4 singles slot.

“James and Cristian are big returners,” said Patton. “They are driven. They’ve been to the paradise of the NCAA tournament and want to go back. The air tasted really good in the top-20 and we want to maintain our elite status nationally, but we also want to build on it. We’ve built a great foundation with our for-mer players and now we have to integrate our new players into our continued success.”

Although they’d like to remain in the top-20, Boise State has a tough schedule ahead of them for the 2009-10 season.

“My adage is that warriors become warriors in war,” explained Patton. “To get better you have to play the best of the best. We are excited about this season and feel really confident for the season.”

The Broncos, who finished the 2009 season ranked No. 20, will face a handful of top-20 teams in 2010, including UCLA, Stanford, Pepperdine, Washington, Illinois and Virginia Tech. They also face some tough Intercollegiate Tennis Association Mountain Region opponents in Utah, BYU and New Mexico.

“We’d like to improve on our 2-5 record against top-20 teams last season,” said Patton. “In terms of our schedule, we want to make sure we’re on the “A” list this season. That means we have to rub elbows with top teams.”

Conference play will be very important this season after fall-ing to the underdog, Hawaii, in the WAC Tournament last sea-

son. Four WAC teams were ranked in the nation’s top -75 last season, including Boise State, Fresno State, Hawaii and New Mexico State, proving to make a competitive 2010 conference season.

“Our conference is becoming a major power broker in the na-tionwide scheme,” explained Patton. “Our conference affiliation is important; it’s getting stronger which will only bring us up with it. The WAC will probably have its strongest season ever this season.”

In order to play well against a tough slate of opponents, the Broncos will look to newcomer and sole senior of the team Vi-cente Joli who is a transfer from Fresno Pacific. There he was a member of the NAIA National Championship team as well as the 2009 NAIA Doubles Champion and 2009 NAIA Player of the Year.

“We call Vicente, “Pops”,” said Patton. “He is our Gandalf; proven, wise and still has the weapons to battle the legions of the dark side. His international and NAIA experience will help our team tremendously.”

Juniors Nick Gourley and Joey Coleman look to make a bigger contribution to the team this season after seeing limited to no court time last season. Gourley returns as the longest-standing member of the Boise State men’s tennis team.

“Nick has the most history with this team and well will look to tap into that to help inspire the team at times,” said Patton. “He’s improved so much and is an incredible athlete. If you add that with his experience of being on a top-20 team, it will be so important for his leadership on the court.”

Coleman will return with the hopes of earning court time this season.

“Joey is such a hard worker in the weight room,” said Patton. “He’s so powerful and his quickness and strength will be an asset to the team.”

Cristian Hodel will be another big contributor to the team this season after playing an integral part in the success of the team in 2009.

“Cristian is our crunch time player,” expressed Patton. “He came through in some very big matches for us. He could be

named “Captain Crunch” by virtue of his wins over several top-ranked teams.”

James Meredith enters the season as one of the team’s top players after having a very successful freshman campaign. He returns as the reigning WAC Freshman of the Year.

“James, himself, is probably one of the top-10 players in the nation,” explained Patton. “Your first impression of him is how smooth his game is, but if you have to battle him the road will be very rough and rocky.”

Erik Sheldon is another returner who saw limited time during the last season. He will likely be a big contributor in the doubles matches this season.

Patton said, “Erik is an all-around excellent player, but when you put a partner at his side, he’s even better. He will be a doubles force for us.”

Freddy Walsh will be returning for his second year as a Bronco after playing limited time in both singles and doubles last sea-son.

“Freddy is very deceiving,” said Patton. “You can’t let that nice demeanor fool you, underneath that halo he wears is the heart of a warrior and he shows that on the court.”

Redshirt freshman Michael Gilliland will look for his first action on the court while two true freshmen, Jeff Mullen and Filipp Pogotskin, join the roster.

“Michael… we call him “Snap, Crackle and Pop”, you’re sure to get a nutritious game out of him,” said Patton. “He’s so aggres-sive and always pounding on the door of his opponent. Jeff is our skyscraper. He is a giant player with a giant heart and giant game. Fil is a great player, too. He is able to make unbeliev-able returns; he’ll run a ball down, leap in the air and somehow make the return.”

In all the Broncos have a very new squad, but also very tal-ented. With the departure of four seniors last season, the doors open for many players who saw limited time last season. Their experience of being a part of a top-20 team, however, will make them more prepared than most. Combined with very talented freshman and a national champion in their sole senior, the chemistry of the team is just right for a very successful sea-son.

2008-09 Season Review

The Boise State men’s ten-nis team entered another solid season into their re-cord books after the close of the 2008-09 season. The Broncos earned one of their furthest trips into the NCAA Team Champi-onships, advancing to the NCAA Round of 16 as a team while also qualifying Clancy Shields in singles play and doubles team Kean Feeder and James Meredith in individual play.

Producing an impressive 24-9 record on the sea-son, the Broncos extend-ed their success to six-straight 20 or more win seasons (10th under head coach Greg Patton and 13th overall). They also advanced to their fifth-straight NCAA Team Tournament (13th overall) showing that they are becoming a perennial national competitor in the NCAA.

To get to the NCAA Round of 16, the No. 25-ranked Broncos defeated No. 57-ranked Middle Tennessee State, 4-0, in the first round and upset the home favorite No. 14-ranked Alabama, 4-3, in the second round. In the Round of 16, Boise State faced No. 3-ranked Ohio State who handed the Broncos their final loss of the season, 4-3.

Shields, who was ranked No. 24, was upset by Illinois’ Roy Kalmanovich (No. 50), 6-2, 6-1, in the Round of 64 to be knocked from the singles tournament play. Feeder and Meredith, who were ranked No. 43, upset No. 23 Dan Buikema and Mathieu Thibaudeau of Alabama, 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, in the Round of 32 before falling to No. 2-ranked Davey Sandgren and John-Patrick Smith of Tennessee, 6-3, 7-5.

As a team, the Broncos earned the first-ever regular season Western Athlet-ic Conference title after posting a perfect 6-0 record in regular season WAC matches. It was the first time the WAC had acknowledged the award. The team also advanced to the WAC Tournament Finals where they fell to No. 3-seeded Hawaii.

Although the Boise State men were not able to capture both the regular season and tournament titles, the team went home with many of the WAC post-season awards. Head coach Greg Pat-ton was named WAC Coach of the Year, while senior Clancy Shields was awarded the WAC Player of the Year and freshman James Mer-edith garnered the WAC Freshman of the Year award. Meredith and Shields were joined by Feeder as the Boise

State representatives on the All-WAC First Team in singles while Feeder and Meredith teamed for an All-WAC First Team honor in doubles as well. Shields was joined by fellow senior Stanley Sarapanich to garner an All-WAC Second Team honor in doubles play.

The Broncos faced 23 nationally top-75 ranked teams during the season, earn-ing a 15-8 record along the way against those opponents. They earned upset wins over Pepperdine (then-ranked No. 14) as well as Alabama (14), while also defeating Notre Dame (26), New Mexico (36), Washington (39), Nebraska (44), BYU (46), Fresno State (46), Middle Tennessee State (57), UC Santa Barbara (62), College of William and Mary (67), Nevada (67), New Mexico State (73) and Oklahoma (once when ranked No. 41 and once when ranked No. 71).

With all the success on the court, the Broncos proved to be outstanding student-athletes with their many off-court academic honors as well. Nick Gourley, Fred-dy Walsh, Sarapanich and Shields were named to the 2009 WAC Academic All-Conference team. Shields closed out his senior campaign by earning a spot on the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District At-Large First Team. Also earning a nod from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, freshman James Meredith was named the ITA Mountain Region Rookie of the Year.

BRONCO NAtIONAtHLEtICS, tHE UNIVERSIty AND BOISE

In an effort to continue the climb in competition, Boise State has outlined a plan to improve the infrastructure and financial position of its athletic department. The project is called the “Initiative for Athletic Excellence.” It is a detailed plan that lays out the direction for the department and its facilities to ensure the Broncos’ continued growth and success.

In the last 11 years Boise State’s growth has led to the addition of women’s soccer in 1998. In 2006-07 women’s swimming & diving joined the family followed by softball in 2008-09. In recent years Boise State has built four competition facilities: the state-of-the-art Appleton Outdoor Tennis Center (2002), the Bronco Soccer and Tennis Complex (2003), Jacksons Indoor Track (2003 - a joint effort with the city of Nampa) and the Mountain Cove Softball Complex (2008). In January of 2006 the Caven-Williams Sports Complex, a 97,000 square-foot indoor practice facility, was opened next to Bronco Stadium. The Boas Indoor Tennis Center also underwent significant renovation with the replacement of the bubbles. The latest project is the Stueckle Sky Center expansion to Bronco Stadium. The stadium project includes a new press box, luxury suites, banquet hall, new ticket office, a Bronco Shop, and much more. Seating capacity for football games will increase to approximately 32,000.

Other future projects include a new 10,000-square foot locker room facility and lounges for the men's and women's basketball teams; a new outdoor track stadium and practice area; a new Peterson PRECO Learning Center; a new home for the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame; and new women’s sports facilities, including competition venues for softball.

s In its 47th year, the Western Athletic Conference continues to evolve and features some of the nation’s best intercollegiate competition. One thing that remains unchanged is the persistent nature of the nine schools in the WAC to advance their programs to contend at the top levels of the NCAA.

The WAC provides its student-athletes the chance to travel to scenic destinations and gain exposure in some of the nation’s most diverse markets. In addition, the WAC’s student-athletes work to achieve the highest levels of success with the academic support of their respective institutions.

The WAC has experienced tremendous success. Over the past six years, it has won 54.5 percent of its bowl games, the third best winning percentage of any conference in the

nation. In the past six seasons, the WAC has sent a total of 22 teams to bowl games (12-10). Boise State has won 76 games since joining the conference, the most in the nation during that time span (2001-07). For the second year in a row, the WAC sent a team to a BCS bowl game as Hawai‘i earned a Nokia Sugar Bowl bid this past season following Boise State’s unforgettable victory in the 2007 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. In men’s basketball, the WAC has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Tournament in 23 of the past 25 seasons. Every current school in the WAC has competed in the NCAA Tournament since 1990. In women’s sports, Fresno State softball has competed in every NCAA Tournament ever held while Louisiana Tech basketball has played in all but two.

The WAC is the sixth oldest among the

All listings without (bracketed) teams indicate the team was champion of both the regular season and tournament or that the particular sport only has one championship. This would happen if a sport doesn’t have a regular season champion, but they do have a WAC Championship tournament/competition. A “/” indicates there were two or more teams finished as regular season co-champions.

THE WESTERN ATHlETIC CONFERENCE...nation’s 11 Division I-A conferences. Its history traces back to July 27, 1962, when the original six-team league of Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming began competition.

Before 1990, the WAC sponsored championships only in men’s sports. However, a merger with the High Country Athletic Conference formed a single conference under one administrative structure, and the 1990-91 athletic year was the first in which both men and women competed under the WAC name.

Currently the WAC membership consists of Hawai’i which joined in 1979, Fresno State (1992), San Jose State (1996), Nevada (2000), Boise State and Louisiana Tech (2001), and Idaho, New Mexico State and Utah State (2005).

Presently, the WAC crowns team and individual champions in 19 sports – eight men’s and 11 women’s. For the men, there are championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field. Championships for women are held in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and volleyball.

The WAC office has been located in the Denver area since the conference’s inception with the exception of a two-year stay in Phoenix from 1964-66.

When Karl Benson was named the fifth commissioner in the history of the Western Athletic Conference on April 20, 1994, he brought with him a wealth of experience and a personal history of success to the position.

Since that time, Benson not only has laid a strong foundation for the WAC’s future, he also steered the conference through

unsettled times during the late 1990s and again a few years later when the defection of member institutions threatened the WAC.

Through his leadership and vision, it didn’t take long for the WAC to regain its place among the nation’s top Division I

conferences. Benson has spearheaded conference expansion with the additions of Nevada, Boise State and Louisiana Tech earlier this decade and an additional round of expansion with New Mexico State, Utah State and Idaho joining the league a few years ago.

Nationally, Benson has earned the respect of his peers after serving on the NCAA Management Council from 1999-2002, and a five-year term on the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee from 2002-06.

Benson hit the ground running when he was hired in 1994 and initiated several programs that improved the conference’s national position in virtually ever category. He was instrumental in developing multi-year agreements with the Holiday Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Copper Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Silicon Valley Football Classic, GMAC Bowl and currently, the Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl, Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl and New Mexico Bowl.

In 1995-96, the WAC signed an exclusive multi-year agreement with ESPN for the unprecedented live telecasts of basketball and football. Included in that deal was a women’s basketball contract, the first in conference history. Currently, a second agreement with ESPN and ABC has resulted in 80 football games being televised over the past five years.

Benson came to the WAC after four successful years as the commissioner of the Mid-American Conference. There, he implemented several innovative projects and was instrumental in the formation of the Las Vegas Bowl.

Prior to taking the reins of the MAC, Benson served on the NCAA staff for more than four years where he was the director of NCAA championships.

Benson joined the NCAA staff in January of 1986 as a compliance representative and was appointed assistant director of championships in June 1987. He was promoted to director of championships in 1988. In that position, Benson actively supervised eight assistant directors in their administration of 68 NCAA championships.

A native of the state of Washington, Benson graduated from high school in Pullman in 1970, attended Spokane Falls Community College and then received a bachelor of science degree in physical education from Boise State University in 1975. He has also completed coursework toward his master’s degree in athletics administration at the University of Utah.

Benson played baseball at both Spokane Falls Community College and Boise State University before serving as the baseball coach at Fort Steilacoom Community College in Tacoma, Wash., for eight years and as the director of athletics at Fort Steilacoom from 1979-84. From 1984-86, he was an assistant baseball coach and an administrative assistant in the athletic department at Utah.

He received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Boise State in April of 2006. Benson was born on December 1, 1951 and has one daughter, Jessie, 17.

COACH SOCHA’S PHIlOSOPHY

Head strength and conditioning coach Tim Socha’s philosophy is that student-athletes are not only going to train hard, but that they are going to do the correct exercises that help them excel in their sport. The staff uses variation in the training programs to enhance the student-athletes’ ability to adapt and improve. The variation involves both multi-joint and multi-plane training. Flexibility, core strength and proprioceptive training also is included in all programs. Through all of the training, sport specificity is emphasized, and the one thing that will never be forgotten is that hard work is what wins championships.

All 19 Boise State varsity athletic teams utilize the strength and conditioning center. Each team has a sport-specific program designed to help each student-athlete increase his or her athletic potential and decrease the chance of injury. Boise State coaches take pride in the fact that their student-athletes are some of the best conditioned in the nation. The facility is fully equipped with many different machines, as well as various free weight equipment.

Under Gene Bleymaier’s leadership, Boise State University’s Department of Athletics has scaled impressive and unprecedented heights with the accomplishments of its student-athletes, the successes of its teams, the growth of its facilities, the support of its community, and the advancement of its status among the nation’s premier athletic programs.

Bleymaier is in his 29th year at Boise State. He joined the Athletic Department in 1981 and became the Broncos’ AD in February of 1982.

In June 2008 Bleymaier received the Astro Turf Athletic Director of the Year Award at the national athletic directors’ conference in Dallas.

He currently is the Western Athletic Conference’s representative to the Bowl Championship Series. In 1997 Bleymaier led the effort to create the Humanitarian Bowl – now called the Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl – and he continues to serve on the board of directors for the annual postseason football game. He served a four-year term as the WAC representative on the NCAA Division I Management Council and is also past president and vice president of the NCAA I-AA Athletic Directors’ Association. He is also a member of the Boise-based World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame board of directors.

Under Bleymaier’s guidance, Boise State’s

football program has grown spectacularly and gained national attention since it joined the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly I-A) ranks in 1996. In just over a decade competing at the highest collegiate level, Boise State football has put itself on the national map with winning records, league championships, national rankings and bowl victories in front of a national audience. Among the nation’s FBS programs, Boise State has the best overall record in the last 10 years (108-20, 84.3 percent), the best winning percentage for conference games the past 10 years (70-5, 93.3 percent), and has been the highest-scoring team in the nation since 2000 (41.16 points per game).

In 1986 Bleymaier was responsible for the installation of the artificial blue turf in Bronco Stadium, which has become one of the most recognizable sports venues in America and the city of Boise’s most famous landmark.

In 1996 he led Boise State’s move to FBS as a member of the Big West Conference, and in 2001 he guided the Bronco Athletic Department’s transfer to its current membership in the WAC.

In its first eight years in the WAC, the Bronco football team has won six league championships and finished second twice. In 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2008 Boise State went 8-0 in conference play. The Broncos have won a total of 23 league championships in all sports since joining the WAC.

Prior to joining the WAC, Boise State won 15 team titles overall while it was a member of the Big West Conference from 1996-2001, and 33 overall league championships in the Big Sky Conference from 1982-1995. The Broncos also captured 13 Big Sky all-sport championships.

Boise State sponsors 19 intercollegiate sports – eight for men and 11 for women. All teams compete in the WAC with the exception of wrestling (Pac-10).

The 2008-09 athletic season was highlighted by six teams completing their seasons ranked in the top 25 of their respective sports and Boise State finishing the year with its highest ever finish in the Learfield Sports Director’s Cup at 49th.

Football led the way capturing its sixth WAC title in seven years and finished the season

ranked 11th in the nation by the Associated Press with an overall record of 12-1. Wrestling won its second straight Pac-10 championship before placing 12th at the NCAA National Championships. The Broncos won their other WAC team titles in men’s indoor track and field, gymnastics and men’s tennis (regular season).

Boise State also sent several other teams to regional and national post-season competition highlighted by the men’s tennis team advancing to the round of 16 at the NCAA National Tournament for the first time in over 10 years.

Individually, another chapter was added to the Bronco history book when Eleni Kafourou became the first female to win a national championship when she finished first in the women’s triple jump at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships. Conference wise Boise State student-athletes won 23 league championships.

Behind Bleymaier’s guidance, Boise State student-athletes have also excelled in the classroom. During the 2008-09 academic year, 136 Bronco student-athletes received conference all-academic honors. Following the spring 2009 semester, Bronco student-athletes set an all-time single semester grade-point-average mark at 3.00 and an all-time cumulative GPA at 3.04, marking the fourth straight semester the Boise State student-athlete cumulative GPA has been over 3.00. A record 65 percent of all student-athletes earned a 3.0 or better GPA last year.

In May of 2009, the NCAA announced its multi-year academic performance rates (APR) and Boise State has the highest rates in the WAC for the sports of football, men’s basketball, men’s tennis (a perfect 1000 score), outdoor track and field, and men’s cross country – the most No. 1 rankings of any WAC school. The football and men’s basketball teams led the WAC for the third straight year. Moreover, the athletic program’s overall APR has improved every year.

W h i l e B o i s e S t a t e h a s e n j o y e d unprecedented success on the playing fields, courts and in the classroom, it has also drastically improved its facilities under Bleymaier’s direction. In August of 2008 the

GENE BlEYMAIER, Boise State Director of Athleticsmost expensive capital project in the history of Bronco athletics opened with the $36 million Stueckle Sky Center which includes a state-of-the-art press box, suites, loge boxes and club seats.

On August 1, 2009 Boise State officially acquired control of the 15.5-acre East Junior High School site from the Boise School District with plans to build future athletic facilities there. Located just northeast of the main campus, the first project planned will be to move Ed Jacoby Track from Bronco Stadium and build a new track and field facility.

The most recent facility was unveiled this past year with the opening of the Mountain Cove Softball Field. In a cooperative effort with the Boise School District, the Bronco athletic department renovated the complex adding a press box, more seating, a scoreboard, batting cages and replacing the field.

In 2006, Boise State opened the Caven-Williams Sports Complex, which is a $9.5 million indoor practice facility that includes a full size football field and the Keith and Catherine Stein Band Hall.

Other capital projects completed during Bleymaier’s tenure include the Boas Tennis/Soccer Center, a 1997 expansion of Bronco Stadium, the Allen Noble Hall of Fame Gallery, the Williams Plaza, the Peterson-Preco Learning Center, the Appleton Outdoor Tennis Center, the Jackson Indoor Track, the Idaho Sports Medicine Institute, the Bronco Football Center, the gymnastics room expansion, the Simplot Center for Athletic Excellence, the Fedrizzi Fitness Center expansion, and an expansion of the Nicholson-Yanke Center.

Bleymaier served as an assistant athletic director at UCLA prior to coming to Boise State. A member of the California Bar Association and a graduate of the Loyola Law School, Bleymaier received his bachelor’s degree from UCLA. Bleymaier lettered in football and was named to the All-Pac 8 Conference third team as a tight end for the Bruins. He was the recipient of the UCLA Outstanding Senior Award and was active in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Bleymaier graduated from Borah High School in Boise. Bleymaier and his wife, Danell, have four children – Maribeth, Joe, Claire and Tom.
