WELCOME TOKANSAS WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY

Welcome to Kansas Wesleyan University. For nearly126 years, Kansas Wesleyan has provided its students with a faith-based, values-centered education in the arts, sciences, and professional studies areas characterized by excellence within a caring community.

Affi liated with the United Methodist Church, we off er over 30 undergraduate programs at the associate and baccalaureate levels, several special programs for adults who wish to fi nish their education, and the MBA degree. We are located in Salina, the crossroads of Kansas, so our students are in an ideal location for internships, student teaching placements, volunteer activities, and off -campus jobs. There is also easy access to shopping, restaurants, theatres, parks, museums, and cultural arts events.

The intercollegiate athletics program is an important part of the life of many Kansas Wesleyan students. We are proud members of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Champions of Character program. Our teams compete through the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC), and that competition demands both focus and commitment. The lessons our students learn through their participation in our athletic programs help develop those skills that will be needed throughout life: goal setting, commitment to excellence, teamwork, and communication. We have made a strong commitment to having the programs, services, and facilities needed to support a strong athletic program. In addition to our athletic program, our students can choose from a full range of student activities that appeal to a wide variety of interests. Just a few examples of student activities include vocal and instrumental music groups, theatre, studio arts, debate and forensics, yearbook, newspaper, student government, ministry and fellowship groups, intramurals, and numerous other special interest organizations. I am impressed by the number of our athletes who become actively involved in many of these other opportunities on campus.

At Kansas Wesleyan University, you can make a diff erence, and you can achieve things far beyond what you may have imagined possible. I invite you to take the time to walk around our beautiful campus and sense the excitement of Kansas Wesleyan University.

Go Coyotes!

THE HOME OF KWU ATHLETICS ON THE WEB -- WWW.KWUCOYOTES.COM

THIS IS COYOTE ATHLETICSKansas Wesleyan University prides itself on being the best of the best. Over the last six years, the Coyotes have won 36 KCAC and NAIA Regional Championships, a mark unprecedented over that time span. In addition, KWU has had the best overall and in-conference records in the conference for four of the last fi ve years in the eight major team sports sponsored by the KCAC (football, volleyball, women’s soccer, men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball and softball).

Over the last six years KWU boasts the best in-conference record in the eight major sports, tallying a 389-211-3 record in conference play, winning 65 percent of the time. The best season came in 2006-07 when KWU won 90 of the 119 conference contests it played. No other school has won more than 85 conference games in a single season over that same time period.

It doesn’t stop there. The University has made strides in the last few years to upgrade its athletic facilities to some of the best at the small college level in the state of Kansas and in the entire region. In 2008, KWU opened the Student Activities Center that features Mabee Arena. Mabee is like no other facility in the area at this level, seating approximately 1500 and featuring some high tech, high quality features you will not fi nd anywhere else. Complimenting the Arena is the Hauptli Student Center and the Everett Morgan Strength Training Center, along with the Brown Mezzanine, new Athletic Training facilities and coaches offi ces. KWU also recently announced plans to renovate the Martin Stadium area to revitalize that area of campus.

In the last six years, Wesleyan has had over 400 All-KCAC selections, including 211 as First Team nods. 56 players have received individual conference honors and 21 times a KWU coach has been selected as a KCAC Coach of the Year in their respective sport. Wesleyan boasted 36 All-NAIA Region IV players over the last three years of regional play, and four times coaches were named Regional Coach of the Year. KWU has had 39 NAIA All-Americans in the last four seasons, including 12 in 2008-09. Two Wesleyan coaches have received honors at the national level, including Colby Hensley (AFCA-NAIA Assistant Coach of the Year, 2006) and Mike Dibbini (2007 NSCAA Great Plains Region Women’s Soccer Coach of the Year).

In addition to our athletic program, our students can choose from a full range of student activities that appeal to a wide variety of interests. Just a few examples of student activities include vocal and instrumental music groups, theatre, studio arts, debate and forensics, yearbook, newspaper, student government, ministry and fellowship groups, intramurals, and numerous other special interest organizations. These activities allow student-athletes become actively involved on campus outside of athletics.

NAIA CHAMPIONS OF CHARACTER

The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Champions of Character program is designed to instill an understanding of character values in sport and provide practical tools for student-athletes, coaches and parents to use in modeling exemplary character traits.

The Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference, commonly called “The Kansas Conference,” is a prominent intercollegiate athletics conference comprised of ten outstanding independent or private institutions of higher education in the state.

The origins of the KCAC are traced to February 15, 1890, when the Kansas Intercollegiate Athletic Association became the result of the fi rst successful attempt at organization among Kansas colleges, “to promote and regulate amateur intercollegiate athletics.” At that time the association or conference included not only private universities and colleges but also Kansas Agriculture College (now KSU), Kansas University, and Washburn University. Football seems to have been the major sponsored sport, and Baker University won the championship for the fi rst three or four years.

In about 1902 this early association became allied with the Kansas College Athletic Conference, a group which was the fi rst to adopt a defi nite set of rules and regulations. It also promoted an annual track and fi eld meet which has continued yearly since, except for World War years. Basketball has been sponsored since 1904. Football was revived in 1907. Tennis began as early as 1912. Golf was added in 1923. By this time the name of the conference had been altered to the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference; it had grown to 17 college members and two allied members: Baker, Bethany, Bethel, College of Emporia, Fairmount (now WSU), Friends, Kansas Wesleyan, KSTC of Emporia (now ESU), KSTC of Hays (now FHSU), KSTC of Pittsburg (now PSU), McPherson, Ottawa, St.Benedict’s (now Benedictine), St.Mary’s, Sterling (formerly Cooper), Southwestern, and Washburn, and with St.John’s and Kansas City University (Kansas) as allied members. Kansas University and Kansas Aggies had dropped out earlier to join other conferences. In 1923 the College of Emporia, KSTC of Emporia, KSTC of Hays, KSTC of Pittsburg, Wichita (formerly Fairmount), Southwestern, and Washburn withdrew to form the Central Conference.

The present legal entity comes from a reorganization of the conference when the predecessor Kansas Intercollegiate Athletic Conference formally disbanded on December 1, 1928, and a new conference was formed which again was called the Kansas College Athletic Conference. The members were Baker, Bethany, Kansas Wesleyan, McPherson, Ottawa, and St.Mary’s colleges. At that time sportswriters quickly gave the KCAC league a nickname: the “Little Six,” in contrast to the Big Six (which became Big Eight, now Big 12) which also was organized in 1928. St.Mary’s College was discontinued in 1931. The College of Emporia returned to the fold in 1933, and Bethel was readmitted in 1939. Friends, a former member of the KIAC, was admitted in 1953. Sterling and Southwestern were approved for membership in 1958. In 1968 Tabor College and St. Mary of the Plains College were admitted to make twelve members in the conference, and the conference was organized into Southern and Northern divisions until 1970 — when Baker, College of Emporia, and Ottawa withdrew to join two separate Missouri-based conferences. In the mid-1970s the formal name was changed again to Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference. In 1975 women’s intercollegiate athletics were incorporated into programs of the KCAC. Ottawa was readmitted in 1981, bringing the conference membership to 10. In 1992 St.Mary of the Plains College in Dodge City left the conference and eventually closed. In 1999, Saint Mary College (now University of Saint Mary) joined to return the KCAC membership to ten institutions.

The “Kansas Conference” (KCAC) continues to be an all-Kansas conference. The KCAC is an affi liated conference of the National Association of intercollegiate Athletics with headquarters in Kansas City, Mo.. Today the KCAC sponsors conference intercollegiate athletics in football, volleyball, men’s cross country, women’s cross country, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s indoor track and fi eld, women’s indoor track and fi eld, men’s outdoor track and fi eld, women’s outdoor track and fi eld, baseball, softball, golf, women’s tennis, men’s tennis.

The KCAC is a widely respected conference which governs intercollegiate athletics in cooperation with the NAIA.

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS (NAIA)The purpose of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) is to promote the education and development of students through intercollegiate athletic participation. Member institutions, although varied and diverse, share a common commitment to high standards and to the principle that participation in athletics serves as an integral part of the total educational process.

The NAIA embraces the concept of the student and recognizes the importance of the individuality of each member institution, the value of the conferences and Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.) structure, and the benefi ts of membership in a national association.

The NAIA supports gender equity. Gender equity is an atmosphere and reality where fair distribution of overall athletic opportunity and resources, proportionate to enrollment, are available to women and men, and where no student-athlete, coach or athletics administrator is discriminated against in any way in the athletics program. That is to say, an athletics program is gender-equitable when the men’s sports program would be pleased to accept as its own the overall participation opportunities and resources currently allocated to the women’s sports program and vice versa.

The NAIA has 50,000 student-athletes participating at nearly 300 member colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada. Divided into 25 conferences and the Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.), the NAIA off ers 23 championships in 13 sports.

Since 1937, the NAIA has continued a long tradition of pushing the envelope and making a positive diff erence in the lives of students, coaches and parents. The Champions of Character program is the latest cutting-edge addition to the NAIA’s proud history of innovation.

Through Champions of Character, the NAIA seeks to create an environment in which every student-athlete, coach, offi cial and spectator are committed to the true spirit of competition through the fi ve core values: respect, integrity, responsibility, servant leadership and sportsmanship.

GORDON REIMERHEAD COACH

Gordon Reimer has been the head women's basketball coach at Kansas Wesleyan since the start of the 2004-05 season. His career record is 122-92 in seven seasons leading the Coyotes.

In 2005, Coach Reimer started the process to turn around the women's basketball program. In one year the Coyotes improved from 5-24 to 14-15 fi nishing 6th in the KCAC conference. In his past fi ve years he has won 86 games, more than triple the 27 wins

in the previous six years. "I feel fortunate to have worked with so many great players and assistant coaches in helping me turn this program around."

"Every year my goal at Kansas Wesleyan University is to win the regular season title, the conference tournament, and play in the National Tournament."

Reimer's goals came to realization in the 2008-09 season, as his Coyotes fi nished the season with a then school record 27 wins while fi nishing 27-6 overall. Wesleyan tied Sterling for the KCAC Regular Season Championship at 16-2, and then defeated the Warriors in the tournament championship 70-61 on their home fl oor to advance to the NAIA Division II National Championships for the fi rst time in school history.

In 2010-11, Reimer’s Coyotes did it again, sharing the regular season conference title with Sterling College again with a 16-2 record. The Coyotes then defeated the Warriors in the KCAC Tournament Championship at Hartman Arena in Park City to advance to the NAIA National Championships. Wesleyan defeated Holy Names in the fi rst round before losing to Black Hills State in the second round. The Coyotes set a new school record for wins in a season with 31 and were ranked No. 5 in the country for a time during the year, the highest ever rating for a basketball team at Kansas Wesleyan University.

During Reimer's tenure he has been named 2008-09 Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference coach of the year; has coached four NAIA All-Americans, the KCAC Player of the Year and 11 NAIA Scholar Athletes. His teams also hold 19 school records including multiple school records. Before coming to Kansas Wesleyan, Gordon spent four years as an assistant college basketball coach. Three years for Central Christian College and one year at McPherson College. Reimer is no stranger to building basketball programs. Under his leadership he developed one of the state's strongest youth programs in McPherson, Kansas. His teams won many tournaments and one National title. Many of the players he coached helped McPherson High School win fi ve state tournaments in the past ten years. He is a lifelong Kansas native and received both a Bachelor's and Master's Degree from Baker University.

CHRIS FEARHEAD COACH

Chris Fear has been the Men's Basketball coach at Kansas Wesleyan University since March, 2011. Fear succeeded Mike Davert who coached the Coyotes from 2007 to 2011. Fear wants complete success for the student-athletes in his charge. He emphasizes that student-athletes should work to become the best players they can be on the court and the best scholars they can be in the classroom. Before Kansas Wesleyan, Fear was most recently at Midland University in Fremont, Neb., where he served as an assistant coach after spending the previous ten seasons at Dana College in Blair, Neb. Dana abruptly closed on June 30 due to fi nancial diffi culties after 126 years.

Fear inherited a program at Dana that had won just 30 percent of its games in school history and led the Vikings to their highest winning percentage of any decade in school history. During his last three seasons as head coach, the Vikings defeated eight nationally ranked opponents and had a .513 winning percentage outside of GPAC play. He coached two NAIA Division II Men's Basketball All-Americans, 27 All-Conference selections and 23 NAIA Scholar-Athletes while at Dana. His teams had 20 straight semesters with a grade point average over 3.0. Prior to Dana, Fear spent four seasons at Calvin College (Mich.) as head assistant for the men's basketball program. During his tenure at Calvin, the Knights were 82-27 overall and twice won the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Championship, and also won the NCAA Division III National Championship in 2000. As a player, Fear prepped at Clay Central - Everly (Iowa) where he was named an All-Iowa State performer. He continued onto an excellent playing career at the University of Sioux Falls before joining the Calvin College staff . Fear graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Health and Physical Education with a minor in Social Science from Sioux Falls in January, 1996, and continued on to earn a Master of Arts degree in Physical Education from Western Michigan University in 1999.

Fear and his wife Kari have three children Alix, Emma and Madison.
