As we begin another new academic year we also look forward to our upcoming athletic year and sports teams’ participation and events with great anticipation . This excitement is heightened by the excellent history of the Daytona State College athletic program and its student-athletes includ-ing two of our teams’ once again winning state and national recognition for their academic accomplishments during the 2009/10 academic year (baseball and softball) . Each year, the Florida Community Colleges Activities Association (FCCAA) selects the top academic teams in the state system by gender, and the commitment at Daytona State College to help our students be successful in the classroom has been recognized by recent awards presented to some of our sports teams . In fact, during the past four academic years the Daytona State College athletic teams have won eight combined state academic titles as follows:

fCCAA Men’s State Academic Titles, and NJCAA National Academic Titles: • FCCAA Men’s Academic Team of the Year – Men’s Baseball, 2006 - 2007, (3 .49 GPA) • NJCAA Baseball National Academic Team of the Year, 2006 - 2007, (3 .49 GPA) • FCCAA Men’s Academic Team of the Year – Men’s Baseball, 2007 - 2008, (3 .53 GPA) • NJCAA Baseball National Academic Team of the Year, 2007 - 2008, (3 .53 GPA) • FCCAA Men’s Academic Team of the Year – Men’s Baseball, 2008 - 2009, (3 .58 GPA) • NJCAA Baseball National Academic Team of the Year, 2008 - 2009, (3 .58 GPA) • FCCAA Men’s Academic Team of the Year – Men’s Baseball, 2009 - 2010, (3 .57 GPA) • NJCAA Baseball National Academic Team of the Year, 2009 - 2010, (3 .57 GPA)

fCCAA Women’s State Academic Titles: • FCCAA Women’s Academic Team of the Year – Women’s Golf, 2006 - 2007, (3 .59 GPA) • FCCAA Women’s Academic Team of the Year – Women’s Golf, 2007 - 2008, (3 .35 GPA) • FCCAA Women’s Academic Team of the Year – Women’s Golf, 2008 - 2009, (3 .57 GPA) • FCCAA Women’s Academic Team of the Year – Women’s Softball, 2009 - 2010, (3 .17 GPA)

The athletic department is proud of our “academic first approach” with our students and the accomplishments are many. here are just a few of those accomplishments from 2009/10: • The entire student-athlete cohort combined for a 2 .96 grade point average during the 2009/10 academic year . • Fifty-nine student-athletes earned Academic All-Conference honors (3 .0+ GPA’s) . • Forty-eight student-athletes earned Academic All-State honors (3 .3+ GPA’s) . • Twelve student-athletes earned NJCAA Academic All-American honors (3 .6+ GPA’s) . • Seven student-athletes earned NJCAA Distinguished Academic All-American honors (3 .8+ GPA’s) . • For the fourth consecutive year the men’s baseball team earned the NJCAA academic Team-of-the-Year award for posting the nations best cumulative GPA (3 .57) . • For the fourth consecutive year a Daytona State College women’s team earned the FCCAA female academic Team-of-the-Year award with the softball team posting the states best team cumulative GPA (3 .17) .

And, our teams were equally as competitive in their respective sports seasons by virtue of some very impressive accomplishments as follows: • Women’s Golf – 2010 NJCAA National Champions • Men’s Swimming & Diving – 2010 NJCAA National Championships - Runner-Up • Women’s Swimming & Diving – 2010 NJCAA National Championships - 3rd Place • Men’s Basketball – FCCAA State Tournament participant; MFC Champions • Women’s Basketball – FCCAA State Tournament participant • Women’s Softball – FCCAA State Tournament participant

This year promises to be an exciting year for all of our sports teams . I encourage you to get out and see some exciting events and support our student-athletes in all of their endeavors while they are here with us at Daytona State College . These are exciting times for our students and they need our collective support . Join me and let’s make this year the best ever for our athletic program at Daytona State College . I look forward to seeing you at the games . Go falcons!

T he Daytona State College health, well-ness, fitness, recreation and athletics facilities are some of the best nation-

wide . The state-of-the-art facilities are one of the many reasons that our athletic programs are a force to be reckoned with . It is no lon-ger a secret that Daytona State College boasts some of the best facilities available at a state college . The L . Gale Lemerand Health, Well-ness and Community Education Center on the Daytona Beach Campus houses the gym-nasium, fitness center, aquatic center and related classrooms and academic programs . Daytona State’s playing fields and courts

are also among the best in the state college system . A 1,000 seat gymnasium provides a quality environment, and this small arena turns very loud with the help of our cheer-leaders, pep band, spirit team, and excited fans . The intercollegiate locker rooms are very comfortable yet practical as they serve the needs of the student-athletes on a daily basis . The baseball complex, one of only two fields in the Mid-Florida Conference with lights, has a permanent press box, a conces-sion stand and a section of chair back seat-ing . The softball complex which also has a lighted field has been recently updated to in-clude the planting of tropical indigenous palm trees lining the outfield fence to give the field that true Florida atmosphere . Both baseball and softball fields are laser leveled each year late in the fall to provide the best surface and drainage capability for the spring seasons, and both ball fields are maintained daily by the college Facilities Services Division . The 5,500 square foot Fitness Center is a true showpiece for the students and has just recently been updated (August 2007) with a

brand new line of Cybex resistance training equipment including an entire new line of free weights and various benches; complete new line of plate loaded machines; and also a complete new line of Cybex VR-3 selectorized equipment . The new line includes a 19-piece Cy-bex VR-3 circuit and 3 .2 tons of free weights . Additionally, a com-prehensive cardiovascular work-out is available using the 27-piece aerobic arena that consists of stair climbers, elliptical trainers, tread-mills, recumbent and stationary bikes, rowing machines, Airdynes, and spinning bikes complete with audiovisual and DVD programs . Group exercise classes also are of-fered in cardio cross training, core strength, water aerobics and yoga .

A 25-yard-by-25-meter competitive pool and a 3,300 square-foot sup-port facility offer a complete aquatic experience . The pool is open year-round, is humidity and climate controlled, and is staffed with certified lifeguards . In 2007/08 the Whisper Oaks Villas condominiums were purchased by the Daytona State College Foundation to provide quality housing to our student-athletes . This complex is located in close proximity to the Daytona Beach Campus to allow students an off-campus housing en-vironment, but still close enough to get back and forth to campus with extreme ease . Now, all Daytona State scholarship student-athletes will be living at the same housing complex allowing for a more full and holistic experience for this cohort . As you can see, the range and quality of the facilities, playing fields and courts, along with the Whisper Oaks Villas housing complex only reinforces the total commitment Daytona State College has made to-ward intercollegiate athletics and promotes the success of the Falcon student-athletes .

CommunityFalcons in Action

Building relationships that make a differenceThe success of our community depends on the academic and social education that young people receive today . With this in mind, falcons in Action, a mentoring program, was created using volunteers to provide additional support for Daytona State College student-athletes . The program helps ensure that stu-dents receive the assistance and guidance necessary to succeed in college and in life . Over the past six years, Falcons in Action mentors have played a vital role in increas-ing student achievement and self-esteem . The benefits for students are immense and the lessons they learn from their mentors of-ten motivate them to be more productive stu-dents and citizens now and in the future . Volunteers have the opportunity to truly make a difference in a student’s life by pro-viding one-on-one attention and developing enduring relationships . Additionally, mentors meet highly skilled athletes and get to know the personal side of the students . Many men-tors attend the student’s games and lend support to their efforts . Through their partici-

pation in this program, the mentors are able to join in the student’s accomplishments on the playing court, field or course . The Falcons in Action mentors come from all walks of life but share the common goal of wanting to help students achieve success in college . Mentors are individuals such as retirees, college employees, recent college graduates and others who are able to give the gift of time . Businesses and organizations are also participating in the program . All volun-teers attend an orientation session to provide them with the information and training that will guide them in their role . Most mentors spend one hour per week with the students; however, schedules are arranged to accom-modate volunteers and to promote continuing relationships between the mentors and stu-dents .

for additional information about this program or to find out how you can begin making a difference as a mentor, contact Will Dunne at (386) 506-4486 or [email protected].

The Community Service Leadership Committee was established in Fall of 2003 with the purpose of organizing what was an existing con-cept into a formal process . The student-athlete based committee met initially to discuss ideas for possible community service projects and to set goals for the year . The 2009-10 Committee continued with this process and once goals were set, met regularly to report progress . The goal for the year was for each team to do at least one community ser-vice project and two major projects together . Members of the commit-tee, which consisted of one freshman and one sophomore from each team, were required to submit a report to the committee coordinator . They were also encouraged to take pictures and/or collect materials from the event . The reports and materials are kept in binder for refer-ence by Committee Coordinator .

Looking forward to the up coming 2010-2011

season, we have heavily recruited not only in the

central Florida area but also the international

arena with some athletes coming from as far

away as Sweden and Trinidad . With last year’s

recruiting efforts concentrating on distance and

mid-distance and strokes, this year’s recruiting

will be more aggressive in the sprint areas . The

year’s objectives of gaining respect among all

Florida teams, not to mention throughout NJCAA

family is high on the team’s priority list . This

objective should be accomplished by our fresh-

men men and women, swimming events like the

200 free, 500 free, 1,000 free, and the 1650

freestyle . We also feel that Daytona State’s relay

teams should be very competitive in the national

competition . The team goal is to break into the

top four at Nationals respectively and establish a

high standard of academic excellence, develop-

ing this program to become a major force in the

swimming and diving disciplines .

The Coaching staff and all of our student-athletes take both academics and athletics together seriously . This season we plan to exceed last year’s team GPA . The Falcon’s welcome alumni, Alissa Smith, to the coaching staff this season . “Coach Smith, will bring Division I experience to the staff while working with our infielders and hit-ters .” Also new this year is Volunteer Assistant Coach, Jessica Hurtado . “Coach Hurtado will be working in the bullpen with Mike Sokol, who has had great success developing our pitch-ers .” There are five starters returning from the 2010 season all of which were FCCAA All-

Academic Team members last year . The returners include last season’s top Region VIII hitter, Alex Brown (FCCAA Mid-Florida Conference Second Team) . Infielder, Courtney Sherrill (FCCAA Mid-Florida Conference First Team) and catcher/first baseman, Erin Wolfe (FCCAA Mid-Florida Conference Second Team) both return as an offensive threat . This season Marissa Blake (FCCAA Mid-Florida Conference Second Team) may be found at second base or in the outfield with returner, Celia Blome (FCCAA Mid-Florida Conference Honorable Mention) . The Falcons have several new faces on the roster this season . The talented group of in-coming freshman brings athleticism and speed to our lineup . Katie Capobianco, Courtney Fe-

liciano, and Kathryn Spack will be competing in practice to start in the middle infield . Gina Figliolia and Frankie Magliocchetti should also make an impact for the Falcons . “We have more pitching depth than we had last season which should take some pressure off of our hit-ters .” Freshman, Jackie Owen, Ashlyn Terry, and Ashley Williams will share time on the mound . Expectations for this upcoming year are high as our sophomores are ready to lead the way to improve upon last year’s record . This year’s team should return to the state tournament as a contender for the Atlantic District Championship .
