Dear Friends of Radford Athletics,

At Radford University, we are extremely proud of our student-athletes and their successes. They have and will continue to excel in the classroom and in competition, while representing our fine University in a first-class manner.

As we close the chapter on another exciting season, we are constantly pre-paring for a very bright future in Highlander Athletics. In addition to our wonderful group of student-athletes, we have excellent coaches and a very strong administrative staff. Along with the strides and progress they have made, we continue to see improvements to our facilities, making them some of the finest in the Mid-Atlantic region.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

I am proud to present to you the 2011-12 Radford University Athletics Club Annual Report in which you will find a summary of this year’s RAC informa-tion and this past year’s ac-complishments as well as what your support means to us.

Join the Club...Make a Difference!

Go Highlanders!

Robert Lineburg

Our institution and Ath-letic Department promote quality and character of each student-athlete. Our goal at Radford University is to offer the best experi-ences and opportunities for our athletes both aca-demically and athletically.

“Our success is defined by the positive experience of the student-athlete... they are the reason we are here.”

2011 ANNUAL REPORT 2

Highlander student-athletes receive strong support from academic advising to com-pliance services, giving them the tools needed to be successful in the classroom. Radford’s athletic training and strength and conditioning programs allow the student-athletes to compete at their best possible level.

A true team atmosphere, the Highlander family consists of each and every Radford student-athlete, past and present, the coaches and athletics staff, as well as our loyal donors and season ticket holders. Support for each program starts from within ath-letics and reaches out into the general university population and the community at large.

In addition, strong relationships run throughout the Highlander family binding student-athletes, coaches and staff to each other.

The Radford University athletic program offers 19 varsity sports, eight for men and 11 for women: men’s and women’s basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, tennis, indoor and outdoor track, along with field hockey, swimming, softball and volleyball for women, and baseball.

The athletic program has grown dramatically since 1974-75, when men’s sports were first offered on a varsity level. Radford currently competes in the Big South Conference, NORPAC and CCSA. A charter member of the conference, Radford has won 43 League titles in 10 different sports and has advanced to NCAApostseason play in seven sports.

“Although Radford is in a smaller community, every person I have met during my collegiate career has positively influenced the person I am today.”

- Chelsea Kelley, Softball ‘11

RADFORD UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS

LOWE’S SENIOR CLASS AWARDOn June 3, 2011, Radford University’s Chelsea Kelley (Roanoke, Va./Cave Spring) was honored as the 2011 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award winner in softball. One of the most prestigious accolades in collegiate athletics, Kelley was presented the trophy in front of a packed house at ASA Hall of Fame Sta-dium in Oklahoma City, home of the Women’s College World Series.

Kelley, who made an impact on the field, in the classroom and the community during her four years wearing the red and white, is the first Radford and Big South student-athlete to earn this honor. Graduating summa cum laude with a degree in sports medicine, Kelley is now working towards a post-graduate degree in physical therapy in the University’s first-year doctoral program.

TheThe award, chosen by a nationwide vote of Division I head coaches, national media and fans, is given annually to the most outstanding senior student-athlete in NCAA Division I softball. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character and competition.

An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athlet-ics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.

RADFORD ATHLETICS HALL OF FAME

For more information on the Radford University Athletics Hall of Fame or to nominate a former student-athlete, coach, or staff

member, visit www.RadfordAthletics.com.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT

HALL OF FAMEFounded in 1995, the Radford University Athletics Hall of Fame was or-ganized to honor the most prolific and significant program participants in our century of sports.

The first competitive Radford University sports team was women’s bas-ketball which competed as the Normal School in 1911. Since those earli-est days, our program has been witness to athletic and academic All-Americans, conference champions, national champions, co-education, and ultimately a 19-team athletics program that continues to make sig-nificant strides towards national prominence.

Radford University’s athletic heritage runs deep within the history of the school and served instrumentally for decades as a key component to the education of its undergraduates. This Hall serves to honor our institution’s athletic heritage and to encourage the pride that is inherent in each graduate’s diploma.

TheThe Radford University Athletics Hall of Fame recognizes the outstand-ing contributions of former student-athletes, coaches, and staff have made to Highlander Athletics. These individuals honor the college’s edu-cational mission through their commitment to excellence in both academ-ics and athletics.

The 32 members pictured left constitute the best of the best in Radford University’s athletic history and genuinely reflect the excellence for which the Highlanders stand for.

- Harm the Student-Athlete - Violations can also result in the enrolled student-athlete or entire team being unable to compete for Radford University.
