Crane Stadium/Tompkins Field

In the spring of 1998 Central Missouri enjoyed the completion of an outstanding baseball facility to go with its already outstanding baseball program – James R. Crane Stadium at Robert N. Tompkins Field.

A $1.2 million construction project, funded primarily by Crane, added a locker room and coaches’ offices for the Mules, an umpires dressing room, new dugouts, permanent seats, a concession stand, a press box and lights to the already existing playing field.

In the fall of 2004, a new facility was added to include indoor batting cages and bullpens, a weight room, storage facility, and umpires dressing room. Following that in 2006, permanent seatback chairs were installed for the fans. All of this was funded by Crane.

On January 21, 1998, Central Missouri’s Board of Governors approved the naming of the facility, formerly known as Mules’ Field, in honor of Crane and Tompkins.

Official dedication ceremonies were held on May 2, 1998. The facility was showcased in the October 1998 issue of Athletics Administration magazine.

The first night game played under the new lights took place on March 25, 1998, with the Mules beating Benedictine College 21-6. On the May 2 dedication day, the Mules swept a doubleheader from Truman State University, 14-2 and 10-4, in the first round of the MIAA Playoffs. The 1998 MIAA Postseason Tournament and the NCAA Central Regional Tournament were also played here, with the Mules winning both events.

Tompkins, who died in July, 1996, at the age of 55, was the Mules’ baseball coach from 1965 through 1980. He designed the facility prior to its original construction in 1975. As coach, he compiled a 248-164-1 record (.602 winning percentage). His teams won MIAA championships in 1966, 1971 and 1974, went to the NCAA tournament in 1971 and 1974, and placed fourth at the 1974 NCAA Championship. He was voted MIAA Coach of the Year in 1974. Prior to becoming the Mules’ head coach, Tompkins had been a three-year letterman for the Mules as a pitcher.

His 1974 team was inducted into the Central Missouri Athletic Hall of Fame in 1994 and he was inducted posthumously in 2002.

Crane, who played for the Mules from 1973 through 1976, provided the lead gift for the additions to the facility. A 1997 Central Missouri and 2012 MIAA Hall of Fame inductee, Crane was a standout pitcher during his career under Tompkins. He had a four-year record of 21-8 with an earned run average of 2.42. He was an honorable mention All-American and first-team All-MIAA selection in 1974 and 1975.

In the fall of 2004, a new facility was added to include indoor batting cages and bullpens, a weight room, storage facility, and umpires dressing room. This facility also was funded by former Mules baseball legend Jim Crane.

Crane Stadium / Tompkins Field has served as host site for numerous MIAA and Regional Tournaments.

Crane Stadium/Tompkins Field

In the Mules’ baseball record book, he ranks first in complete games (23), career shutouts (7), third in career strikeouts (215), and is in the top 10 in career wins (21), career earned run average (2.42) and career innings pitched (216). He still holds the Mules’ single-game strikeout record with 18 against Ohio Northern in a 2-9 Mules win in the 1974 College Division World Series. In his last game as a Mule, he pitched a 1-0 shutout vs. Lincoln on May 8, 1976, at this site. Crane is a graduate of Lutheran North High School in St. Louis and in November of 2011 became the fifth owner of the Houston Astros Major League Baseball franchise.

This field, which seats approximately 1,500, has been the site of NCAA Division II Regionals in 1989, 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2012 as well as MIAA Tournaments in 1986, 1992, 1994, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007. The field’s dimensions are 330 feet down each foul line, 375 feet to left center and right center, and 400 feet to center field. In 36 seasons at this site, the Mules’ record is 687-134-1 (.836).

While this site originally was under construction in 1975, the Mules played their home games at Warrensburg’s Grover Park. Prior to 1975, the Mules had played at a site where the Multipurpose Building and its surrounding parking lots now are located, as well as at Grover Park.

The first game played at this site was on March 22, 1976 vs. Kansas State University. The Mules won the first game of a doubleheader 2-1, while the Wildcats won game two 7-4.

Head Coach Tom Myers

Now in his sixth season as the head coach of the Mules, Tom Myers boasts a 240-62 overall record and has taken the Mules to the NCAA-II World Series three times.

The former UCM assistant was hired in the summer of 2007 and didn’t take long to continue the Mules’ winning tradition, capturing the Central Region title and taking the Mules to their 14th Division II World Series appearance in his first season. They went 47-17 overall and

made it to the national semifinals, finishing in 4th place. For his efforts he was named the NABC Central Region Coach of the Year.

In 2009 he led the Mules to the No. 1 seed and host of the NCAA South Central Regional with a 44-15 mark after returning only one position starter from the year before. He coached the second ABCA National Pitcher of the Year in school history, Chris Matlock, that season as well.

He led them to the NCAA-II World Series for the second time in his tenure in 2010, finishing fifth, and capturing the South Central Regional crown. He also won his first MIAA Regular Season Championship and earned MIAA and South Central Region Coach of the Year honors.

In 2011, Myers guided the Mules back to the NCAA-II World Series for the third time after capturing the South Central Regional title. He took the Mules to their second straight MIAA Regular Season Championship and the MIAA Tournament title as well. He was named MIAA Coach of the Year for his efforts as UCM finished with a 49-10 overall record and won an MIAA record 37 conference games.

Last season, he guided the Mules to their third straight MIAA Championship as they finished 48-9 overall and won the league crown by eight games. UCM captured the MIAA tournament title for the third straight year and the Mules earned the No. 1 seed and the right to host the South Central Regional.

He has coached four Mules that went to the minor league ranks in pitchers Jared Potts, who signed with the Toronto Blue Jays organization, Matlock, who was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 23rd round of the 2009 Major League Draft, Matt Curtis, who was signed by the Cleveland Indians following the 2011 season and Lee Stoppelman, who was drafted in the 24th round by the St. Louis Cardinals last season.

Prior to taking the head job at Central Missouri, Myers spent the previous four seasons as an assistant at Kansas State University and before that, three seasons as an assistant coach at UCM, including the 2003 Division II National Championship season.

During Myers first three years at UCM, the Mules went an outstanding 154-30 with a national runner-up and a championship.

At Kansas State under former Mules head coach Brad Hill, Myers was the hitting and outfielders coach and steadily transformed the Wildcat offense into one of the best units in the Big XII Conference.

In 2007, the Wildcats advanced to the postseason for the second time in school history with an appearance in the Big XII Tournament in Oklahoma City. KSU outfielder Byron Wiley was named Second-Team All-Big 12.

In 2006, K-State hit a Big 12-best .314 as a team overall, which included the Big 12 overall hitting leader in outfielder Joe Roundy (.389). The Wildcats boasted four of the Big 12’s top 20 hitters in Roundy, outfielder Barrett Rice (.368), catcher Brandon Farr (.337) and third baseman Jared Goedert (.337). Goedert was also selected in the 12th round of the MLB Draft by the Cleveland Indians and had a solid rookie campaign.

In 2005, Myers led a Wildcat offense that hit .309 on the season, a number that was up an incredible 50 points from 2004 and was the sixth-best average in school history. In his first season at K-State, Myers guided Wildcat outfielders Steve Murphy and Terry Blunt to All-Big 12 honors as both were among the league’s top offensive players in 2004. Murphy led the ‘Cats with a .338 average while Blunt hit .305. Five Wildcat hitters coached by Myers signed professional contracts while at Kansas State. Under Myers, the Wildcats broke into the top 10 in the single-season school record books in seven different offensive categories including home runs, doubles, hits, runs, RBI, slugging and batting average.

He previously served as assistant under Hill from 2000-01 before returning to his alma mater, Pittsburg State, for one season. During Myers’ first go-around at Central Missouri, the Mules posted an incredible .836 winning percentage with three consecutive 50-win seasons, three MIAA crowns and three trips to the Division II Baseball Championships. In addition, UCM led the league in batting average each of those three seasons.

In 2003, Central Missouri captured its second national championship and first since 1994 with an 11-4 victory over the University of Tampa at Paterson Field in Montgomery, Ala. The Mules led the MIAA in nearly every offensive category in 2003, including scoring (9.53 runs per game), hits (602), RBIs (423), doubles (134), home runs (61) and batting average (.364). Six players ranked among the league’s top 11 in hitting, including batting leader Joe Strada, who also led in slugging percentage, doubles and RBIs.

Myers helped coach two second team All-Americans in 2003 with Strada and third baseman Zach Norman along with six All-MIAA selections. Norman was named the conference’s Player of the Year, while outfielder Steve Murphy was the Freshman of the Year.

Myers helped guide Central Missouri to a combined 103 wins in 2000 and 2001. The 2001 squad posted a then school-record 53 wins en route to advancing to its first championship game in seven years where the Mules lost to St. Mary’s of Texas by a score of 11-3. During the record-setting campaign, Myers helped coach first baseman Chris Umphres, the 2001 NCAA Division II Player of

the Year, who ranked among The Myers Family - Tiffany, Addison, Tom and Logan

The 2012 Central Missouri Mules won their third straight MIAA regular season championship, running away with the league title by eight games . It was the 23rd conference title in school history . The Mules swept through the MIAA Tournament for their third straight postseason crown and earned the No . 1 seed and the right to host the South Central Regional . Central Missouri fell in the regional championship game, but finished the 2012 campaign with a 48-9 overall record, the 14th consecutive season with 40 or more wins . The Mules were an impressive 34-4 in MIAA play and had three separate winning streaks of at least 12 games during the season . The Mules earned a No . 1 ranking in mid-March and spent the majority of the season ranked in the top five in the country .

The Mules led the MIAA in pitching with a staff ERA of 2 .92 and were second in both batting ( .325) and fielding percentage ( .971) . Nationally, UCM ranked seventh in ERA, 11th in fielding percentage and 15th in batting average . The Mules’ 48-9 record also earned them the top won-loss percentage in all of NCAA-II at .842 .

Central Missouri began the season with four victories in Arkansas before returning home to start MIAA play in early March . After dropping the conference opener to Missouri Western, UCM rattled off 12 consecutive wins to run their record to 16-1 and earn a No . 1 national ranking . The Mules dropped four of their next five games to fall out of the top spot in the rankings, but they quickly found their stride again and won another 12 in a row .

After a split of a non-conference doubleheader with Lindenwood, the Mules sat at 31-7 overall and 24-4 in conference play . UCM completed a four-game sweep of Washburn, including a thrilling 6-5 comeback win in the finale to push them to the brink of another conference crown . A doubleheader sweep of Emporia State the following weekend in Emporia gave the Mules the crown, their third straight title and the 23rd in school history . The Mules rode their starting pitching, as they did most of the year, to 4-1 and 6-0 wins in the sweep . It was the first time ESU had been shut out at home in an MIAA game since the 2002 season .

The Mules finished the regular season on a 10-game winning streak and continued their hot play into the MIAA Postseason Tournament . UCM won three games in three days to capture their third straight conference tournament crown and earn the MIAA’a automatic bid to the NCAA-II Tournament . The Mules earned the No . 1 seed and the right to host the regional in Warrensburg . They fell to St . Edward’s in the opening game of the regional, 8-6, but responded to win three games in two days to advance to the championship game . The Mules beat second-seeded St . Mary’s 9-5 in the first game to force a winner-take-all championship final . UCM held a late lead in the game, but ran out of gas and fell to the Rattlers 12-9 to end the season at 48-9, one game shy of their third straight trip to the Division II World Series .

The Mules swept the MIAA postseason awards with Bret Schwartz earning Player of the Year honors, Lee Stoppelman Pitcher of the Year and Tom Myers Coach of the Year for the third straight year . In addition to Schwartz and Stoppelman, senior outfielder Gabe Thibodeau also earned first team All-MIAA honors . Kurtis Schuyler, Travis Unthank and Chase Graskewicz were named to the All-MIAA second team, while Dane Krone, John Oropeza, Jon Cotter, Jordan Coons, Albert Selanders and Ben Cox were all honorable mention selections .

All-Region honors went to Cox, Schwartz, Stoppelman and Thibodeau with Schwartz and Stoppelman earning first team recognition . Stoppelman would go on to earn second team All-America honors from both the ABCA and Daktronics . Schwartz was named a second team Academic All-American and was the Rawlings/ABCA South Central Region Gold Glove winner at shortstop .

Cox, Schwartz and Jordan Coons were all named to the South Central Regional All-Tournament Team .

1994 National ChampionshipTo say that the

Mules’ improbable t rek to the 1994 national title followed a n u n u s u a l t r a i l wou ld be a vas t understatement . After all, this was a team that didn’t have a head coach six weeks before i t s season began . Dennis Woody had built the team for his fourth season

as head coach, but in November the Kansas City Royals offered him a chance to join their scouting department . It was a career move he felt he couldn’t pass up . There was no shortage of applicants for the job – 108 to be exact . After Dave Van Horn interviewed for the job, there was no question who the next Mules’ head coach would be . Van Horn had built a successful program at Texarkana Junior College and also had strong ties to the University of Arkansas, where he had been a player and later an assistant coach . He had been a winner wherever he had been . Little did Mules fans know what an impact he would have .

After going 38-9 in the regular season, the Mules opened postseason play . Central battled through the losers bracket to down Missouri-St . Louis 6-1 and 8-4 to claim the MIAA title .

Now it was on to the NCAA Regional and again the Mules got to play on their home field . First they defeated Northern Colorado in a 7-5 thriller before unleashing a pair of awesome offensive displays, pounding South Dakota State 20-8 and 19-7 . Next stop: Montgomery, Alabama, for the NCAA Division II Championship .

At Montgomery, the Mules found themselves seeded second in the eight-team field behind top-ranked Florida Southern . After defeating California-Riverside, 9-6, in game one and Armstrong State, 8-7, in game two, the Mules dropped a 10-3 decision to perrenial power Delta State University . Not to be deterred, though, Central came back and beat the Statesmen 8-2 to advance to its first-ever trip to the national championship game, where the Mules faced powerful Florida Southern, the team ranked number one in Division II throughout much of the season and a school that had won seven previous national titles . After two innings, the Mules were trailing 4-0 . After five inn ings, the Mules had gotten on the score board, but still trailed 6-2 . Florida Southern decided to go for the knock out punch and brought in pitching ace David Harris, even though he had pitched a nine-inning complete game the day before . But a six-run sixth inning sent Harris to the showers and put the Mules ahead for the first time . After Florida Southern tied the game in the eighth, the Mocs sent relief ace

Tom Szimanski to the mound for the top of the ninth . Szimanski had allowed just two earned runs all season . When he left after retiring just one of six batters, he had been charged with two runs and left the bases loaded . They didn’t stay loaded very long, though . Eric Stuckenschneider walked to force in a run, then Morgan Burkhart, the Mules’ starting pitcher who had stayed in the game as the DH, ripped a double barely fair down the left field line to clear the bases . The Mules led 14-8 going to the bottom of the ninth, but the Mocs loaded the bases with no outs . Smith then went to work and retired the next three batters and the Mules had made history with a 14-9 victory .

Senior third baseman Rick Ladjevich was named NCAA Division II Player of the Year after batting .460 with 14 homers and 97 RBI, and Van Horn was selected Division II Coach of the Year (even though he was not named MIAA Coach of the Year) . All-America honors also went to Stuckenschneider ( f i r s t - t e a m outfielder), who had overcome a r a r e b l o o d disorder that very n e a r l y e n d e d his career, and former walk-on B o b P o i s a l (pitcher) .

Indeed , the Mules’ trail to the 1994 t i t le may have been improbable, but it certainly was successful and became the dream of a lifetime come true – 1994 NCAA Division II National Champions .

23 MIAA Titles • 16 Regional Titles • 2 National Championships58

Another year, another title for the Central Missouri Mules . This time though, it wasn’t simply a league or regional crown . No, in 2003, the Mules went out and won the whole enchilada for the second time in school history .

Unlike their first crown in 1994 when the numbers didn’t speak highly for the Mules, the 2003

squad put up some impressive statistics .

UCM was fou r th in the nation in batting, fifth in scoring, sixth in fielding, and seventh in team earned run average .

The Mules baseball t e a m c l i n c h e d t h e MIAA regular season title with season-ending sweeps of Washburn and Northwest Missouri State, and then downed Missouri Western and Emporia State to claim

the league tournament title .Next UCM rolled through the Regional

Tournament wi th a 3-0 mark , defea t ing Minnesota-Duluth in the opening round and taking two from Rockhurst .

Then it was on to Montgomery, Ala . for the fourth year in a row . The Mules swept through the field, going 4-0, to win their second national championship .

In the opening round, the Mules drew Grand Valley State University . It took a stellar pitching performance by junior righthander Danny Powers and some late-inning heroics to pick up the 3-2 win . Powers scattered five hits in eight innings and struck out four while walking none for the win . Still, it was 2-2 going into the ninth .

Steve Downey took care of that, as he singled to right, stole second and third, and scored the game-winner on Tommy Bryant’s sacrifice fly to shallow left field . Eric Horner then worked a perfect ninth to pick up his school-record 15th career save .

Game two was not nearly as exciting, as UCM thumped Franklin Pierce 11-4 . Carrying a 3-2 lead through three innings, the Mules exploded for six runs in the fourth . Phil Sobkow struck out nine to get the win, while Zach Norman went 4-for-5 with a pair of runs scored .

And then the excitement began again . It was deja vu all over again for the Mules in the semifinals of the D-II Championships . After dropping a pair of games in extra innings in the 2002 World Series, the Mules found themselves in a similar position against Kennesaw State . But unlike those two efforts the previous year, this time it was Central Missouri which stood on top, as reliever Steve McReynolds, who hadn’t pitched in three weeks, came on to hold the Owls at bay .

Leading 4-3, Steve Murphy extended the advantage in the sixth with a mammoth home run to center field . Kennesaw State, though, rallied with a run in the seventh, and Clint Watters homered to right off Mules closer Eric Horner in the top of the ninth to tie the game at 5-5 .

McReynolds’ effort (three innings of scoreless relief) set the stage for Zach Norman, as the All-America third baseman singled home Danny Guidry in the bottom of the 13th to advance the Mules to the championship game against Tampa .

The Championship game, like round two, was all Mules . Up 3-0, UCM saw Tampa score four runs in

the fourth .But UCM responded with two runs in the sixth,

another in the seventh, and five in an eighth-inning explosion, highlighted by Zach Norman and Joe Strada home runs .

Danny Powers again claimed the win, allowing seven hits and four runs while striking out four over seven innings .

Steve Downey was unstoppable in the contest, going 5-for-5 with two runs, an RBI, a double, and a stolen base to lead the Mules to their second national championship .

The Mules finished 51-7 on the year and became the only team in NCAA Division II history to ever win 50 games four consecutive years . They were an amazing 25-1 in conference action .

Junior first baseman Joe Strada and junior third baseman Zach Norman were named second-team All-Americans . Strada batted .415 with 22 doubles, seven triples, 11 home runs, and 84 runs batted in, while Norman hit .411 with 21 doubles, four triples, 15 home runs, 87 RBI, and 17 stolen bases .

Sophomore Danny Powers went a perfect 10-0 on the year with a 2 .49 ERA . Junior lefthander Nick Denning was 9-1 on the season, and junior Phil Sobkow finished 8-0 with 82 strikeouts in 68 .2 innings of work .

Sobkow was drafted in the 10th round by the Los Angeles Dodgers, while Norman signed a free agent contract with the Philadelphia Phillies .

It was sheer pandemonium as the Mules defeated Tampa University 11-4 to win the 2003 NCAA Division II National Championship. It was Central Missouri’s second national championship in a decade (the Mules also claimed the 1994 national title).

Morgan Burkhart made his major league debut with the Boston Red Sox on June 27, 2000 and, in doing so, became the first former Mules’ baseball player to appear in a major league game . In his first major league at-bat, Burkhart singled off the Orioles’ Mike Mussina . He was 2-for-4 in the game . He wound up playing in 25 games with the Red Sox in 2000, hitting .288 with four home runs and 18 RBI . In 2001 Burkhart spent most of the season at Pawtucket (R .I .), where he hit .269 with 25 home runs and 62 RBI . He made his second trip to the major leagues that year, when he played in 11 games with Boston, hitting .182 with one home run and four RBI . However, the Red Sox released him after the 2001 season .

In 2002, Burkhart played in 42 games with Japan’s Fukuoka Daiei Hawks before being signed by the Kansas City Royals for the 2003 season . In six games for the Royals, he went 3-for-15 ( .200) . Burkhart spent most of the season with Kansas City’s Triple A affiliate in Omaha, Neb ., where he batted .251 with 17 home runs, 18 doubles, and 57 RBI .

A key member of the Mules’ 1994 national championship team, Burkhart had spent five-plus seasons in the minor leagues before being called up . With Pawtucket in 2000, he hit .255 with 23 home runs and 77 RBI . Before the Red Sox signed him to a minor league contract in 1998, Burkhart had enjoyed a stellar career in the independent Frontier League for Richmond, Indiana . He won three league MVP awards and was Baseball America’s Independent Player of the Year in 1998, when he hit .404 with 36 home runs and 98 RBI in 80 games . In fact, the Frontier League Most Valuable Player award is now named in his honor . In 1999 he was named MVP of the Mexican winter league after hitting 18 home runs and driving in 55 runs in 67 games . As a major leaguer, Burkhart finished his career with 121 at bats, five home runs, 23 RBI, and a .248 batting average .

Josh Outman became the second Central Missouri player to make his major league debut when the lefty tossed two scoreless innings for the Oakland Athletics against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium on September 2, 2008 .

He became the first player to begin the season on a major league roster in 2009, and made 12 starts for the A’s with a 4-1 record before suffering an elbow injury in late June that put him out for the year .

In 2005, the St . Louis, Mo . product was the No . 2 pitcher for the top-ranked Central Missouri Mules at the Division II College World Series . He finished his career at UCM with a bang as well, tossing an eight-inning, seven strikeout performance that defeated Delta State 2-1 on May 30, 2005 .

After the season he was one of five Mules pitchers drafted in the top 11 rounds of the 2005 First Year Player Draft (more than any other school that season) . He was picked in the 10th round by the Philadelphia Phillies and quickly moved up in that organization until July 2008, when he was involved in a trade for Joe Blanton that sent him to the Oakland A’s farm system . Outman was traded to the Colorado Rockies in a three-player deal in January 2012 and will once again compete for a spot in the starting rotation in 2013 .

The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association, a 15-member conference (beginning in 2012-13) of NCAA Division II institutions in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska, was first organized in 1912 as the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association .

Over the past 100 years, the MIAA has gained the reputation of being one of the top NCAA Division II conferences in the nation . MIAA student-athletes have won 15 NCAA team championships and, since 1964, more than 160 individual national titles . The MIAA currently conducts championships in eight sports for men and nine for women .

For the men, champions are crowned in football, cross country, basketball, indoor and outdoor track & field, baseball, tennis and golf . The women compete for titles in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, indoor and outdoor track & field, softball, golf and tennis .

The MIAA turned a new page on July 1, 1992, when the NCAA Division II conference changed its name from the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association to the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association .

The decision to make the change originated in 1989, when Pittsburg State University and Washburn University became the first schools outside the state of Missouri to gain membership in the MIAA .

The conference was first organized in 1912 with 14 member institutions . Of those original members, the University of Central Missouri, Truman State University, and Northwest Missouri State University still remain a part of the MIAA .

The first change in membership came in 1924, when the MIAA reorganized to include only the five regional Missouri state colleges: Central Missouri (at the time Central Missouri State Teachers College), Truman (at the time Northeast Missouri State), Northwest, Southeast Missouri State University and Southwest Missouri State University (now Missouri State) .

Over the next 56 years, three schools joined the membership: the Missouri School of Mines (later the University of Missouri-Rolla) in 1935, Lincoln University in 1970, and the University of Missouri-St . Louis in 1980 .

The 1980s brought the biggest changes in the conference . In 1981, Southwest Missouri State University opted to move to NCAA Division I and the MIAA appointed its first full-time commissioner, Ken Jones, in July .

He would be in the position for 16 years, retiring in 1997 . Former Gulf South and Metro commissioner Ralph McFillen succeeded Jones, serving 10 years before his retirement in 2007 . Jim Johnson succeeded McFillen in July of that year and served as commissioner until September of 2010 . Dr . Bob Boerigter succeeded Johnson in September 2010 .

Southwest Baptist University brought membership back to eight schools in 1986, before the major expansion of the conference in 1989 . Pittsburg State, Washburn, Missouri Southern State College (now University) and Missouri Western State College (now University), formerly members of the Central States Intercollegiate Conference, began competition in the 1989-90 season .

Southeast Missouri State left the MIAA following the 1990-91 season to move on to NCAA Division I, and was replaced by Emporia State University in the 1991-92 season .

In August 1991, Judy Willson was hired as the MIAA’s first full-time sports information director . She left in 1994, and was succeeded by Matt Newbery, formerly the assistant sports information director at Pittsburg State . He became the assistant to the commissioner for media relations in 2005 . Kellen Coleman replaced Newbery in 2009 as the director of communications . He left in the summer of 2012 and was replaced by Josh Slaughter, formerly the assistant sports information director at Emporia State . A third full-time staff member was added in 2005, as former Emporia State track and field athlete Natasha Oakes was hired as the assistant to the commissioner for compliance . She became the Assistant Commissioner for Compliance and Internal Operations/SWA before being succeeded by Renee Hultgren in 2010 . The current MIAA Assistant Commissioner for Compliance and Internal Operations/SWA, Amber Feldman, replaced Hultgren in 2011 . Larry House joined the staff in August 2007 as coordinator of external affairs, and is now the Assistant Commissioner for Championships and Business Development .

The membership of the MIAA was at 11 schools during the 2011-12 school year with the departure of Missouri-St . Louis in 1996 and Missouri-Rolla in 2005, the forfeiture of membership by Lincoln in 1999, the addition of Fort Hays State University in 2006 and the University of Nebraska Omaha in 2008, the re-joining of Lincoln in 2010, and the departure of Nebraska Omaha in 2011 .

Beginning in 2012-13 the MIAA membership will reach 15 with the addition of the University of Central Oklahoma, Lindenwood University, the University of Nebraska-Kearney, and Northeastern State University .

Dr. Charles Ambrose University President

Charles M . Ambrose, Ed .D ., became the 15th president of the University of Central Missouri on Aug . 1, 2010 . A career educator who is a fervent advocate of servant leadership and engaged learning, he is committed to promoting academic quality, excellence in teaching and the collegiate experience .

During his first year at UCM, President Ambrose helped guide the institution through the building of a new Strategic Governance Model in partnership with the Association for Governing Boards . He also provided leadership through an extensive administrative and academic review process designed to provide a stronger, more viable educational experience for students, while also cutting operational costs .

Ambrose sought to build student enrollment, an effort that paid off in fall 2012 with the largest enrollment in the university’s 140-year history . To help make education more accessible, the university also entered new articulation agreements with institutions such as Metropolitan Community College and Linn State Technical College .

The president continues to build strong relationships with the men and women who serve this country . This includes the establishment of the Whiteman Advantage Program, which brings together personnel from Whiteman Air Force Base and the university to work cooperatively in creating new educational opportunities for military members . The university also developed the Military Tuition Package, which provides savings on an education for military men and women currently serving their country, as well as their spouses and dependents, and veterans .

Under his direction, the university developed a new strategic positioning initiative to provide a more articulated understanding of what makes UCM unique and helped guide the institution in establishing its future priorities . In fall 2012, Ambrose launched the new Missouri Innovation Campus, in collaboration with the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District and private industry, which will allow students to begin college during their junior year of high school and complete a degree in four years with little or no debt .

President Ambrose attended Furman University, where he was a four-year letterman and captain of the soccer team . After graduating from Furman with a bachelor’s degree in sociology, he earned two advanced degrees in higher education administration, a master’s from the University of Louisville and a Doctor of Education degree from the University of Georgia .

Ambrose and his wife, Kris, are active in the community and have participated in charitable bike rides to raise funds and awareness for poverty, hunger and disease .

The Ambroses have two children; Charlie, a college junior, and Kathryn, a high school senior .

Mule #1 - Gizmo, after Wold War II.

Take a Mule Refresher and Learn What’sSo Special about Missouri’s State AnimalOften called mankind’s most successful hybrid, mules are

the offspring of crossing a male donkey or jack with a female horse or mare . Since they can’t reproduce, mules have been bred one generation at a time for more than 3,000 years .

A strong, resourceful beast of burden, the mule can outwork, outpull, outlive and outsmart a horse of similar size and type .

In 1995, the mule became Missouri’s official state animal, but the long-eared creatures were known as “Missouri Mules” long before then .

The term “Missouri Mules” was used casually until it became famous at the historic 1904 St . Louis World’s Fair . At that exposition a six-mule hitch belonging to W . A . Elgin of Platte County swept all competition, and a mule from a Morgan County farm received the $10,000 Mayor’s Award .

Newspaper accounts of this show-ring prowess brought worldwide attention to the state’s mule breeders and helped assure that the largest and finest animals would be known as “Missouri Mules .”

Many people assume that the relationship of mules and jennies is the same as that of siblings, but jennies are female donkeys . So, the relationship of mules and jennies is really the same as nephew/niece and aunt . Jenny is a common name but technically a female donkey is a jennet .

Popular with farmers and settlers because of its hardy nature, Missouri Mules pulled pioneer wagons to the Wild West and played a crucial role in moving troops, artillery and supplies in several wars . In fact, many of the mules used in World War I were shipped by train from Warrensburg .

The mule’s affiliation with Central Missouri dates back to the early 1920s . When the 1921-22 school year began, school officials decided “Normals” and “Teachers” were no longer appropriate nicknames for UCM’s athletic teams . Therefore, the school’s Athletic Committee established a contest that promised the winner a three-year postgraduate subscription of the school newspaper . More than 80 suggestions were received, but the winning entry was submitted by John Thomason of Chilhowee, class of 1924, who felt at least one Missouri team should be known as “Mules .”

Central Missouri’s fifth mascot - Mancow - is the university’s first real Missouri mule . The line-back brown mule comes from Paradise Mules in Belle, Mo . It took several months for farm manager Dave Ewing to find the perfect mule . He was determined to acquire the right mule trained to remain calm around big crowds and loud noises - that game cannon gets loud!

Mancow the Mule is the second UCM mule to be tall (14 .1 hands), a result of her thoroughbred heritage . The university’s first three mules were Shetland Pony breeds . She’s the second mule to be presented to the university as a gift .

Erich “Mancow” Muller, ‘88, made a gift to purchase the new mascot . Abbedale, her immediate predecessor, was donated to the university by 1938 alumnus and well-known mule producer, Sam Smiser from Newhall, Calif . The 10-year-old mare mule represented the university at home football games and other events . UCM agriculture students care for her at Prussing Farm, a few miles east of Warrensburg on Division Road .

Following her first appearance at the 2004 Missouri State Fair, Mancow saw her first game action, as Central Missouri hosted MIAA-rival Northwest Missouri State on Sept . 11 .

Top 10 Reasons to Admire a Mule 10 . Affectionate and loving as a dog 9 . Can carry heavy loads, up to 300 pounds 8 . Rarely miss when they aim to kick something 7 . Jump amazing heights from a stand-still start (go watch a mule jump at a county fair - it’s amazing!) 6 . Have a laid-back style and won’t be rushed 5 . Valued so highly, once bought sight unseen 4 . Inspire attitudes - cum mula peperit (when a mule foals), similar to once in a blue moon 3 . Knows when to quit (hence its reputation for stubbornness) 2 . Intelligent and not afraid of working 1 . Because it became our mascot in 1922, over the skunk, bobcat and hippopotamus!

Mule #2 - Little Mo in the 1950s.

Mule #3 - Roscoe in the 1960s.

Mule #4 - Abbedale in the early 1980s.

Central Missouri’s Mancow is the only live mascot in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association.

Mule #5 - Mancow in 2004.

2012 MIAA Regular Season Champions • 2012 MIAA Tournament Champions23 MIAA Titles • 16 Regional Titles • 2 National Championships

Welcome to Warrensburg, Missouri

Warrensburg, Missouri is a friendly community of 18,000 people near the intersection of U .S . Highway 50 and Missouri Route 13 . It is located just 40 miles southeast of suburban Kansas City, with its many cultural offerings, entertainment options and professional sports franchises . The county seat of Johnson County, Warrensburg is just four hours from St . Louis and three hours from Branson, Mo ., with easy access by highway, Amtrak, or Greyhound bus . Other recreational opportunities include the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks 90 minutes to the southeast .

Warrensburg is a city that emerged from a frontier gathering place more than 150 years ago . In 1833, a blacksmith from Kentucky named Martin Warren chose a well-travelled spot along an Osage Indian Trail to build a cabin and set up his blacksmith shop . His shop served as an informal gathering place for local farmers . Three years after moving to Missouri, Mr . Warren’s shop was named the county seat of the newly created County of Johnson . The township was named Warren’s Burg in honor of the local blacksmith, and in 1855, the township was incorporated and became the City of Warrensburg . It is that same strong midwestern work ethic displayed by its founder, and the same friendly atmosphere shown by his neighbors that may be seen in Warrensburg today .

In the late 1800s and early 1900s Warrensburg was considered the Missouri Mule Capital because of the Horse and Mule Barn operated by the Jones Brothers on Railroad Street . Mules from the area won prizes at the State Fair (located just 30 minutes east in Sedalia, Mo .) and at even larger expositions like the one in St . Louis in 1904 . The mule barn carried the motto, “Through these portals passed the meanest mules on earth .”

Warrensburg is home to many historic sites, including “Blind” Boone Park, the historic Johnson County Courthouse, the Missouri Pacific Train Depot, and many historical churches .

It is also the site of the Old Drum Memorial Statue, in honor of Old Drum, the hound shot and killed by his owner’s neighbor in 1869 . Old Drum was eulogized by

George Graham Vest on September 23, 1870:“The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog .”

Today the city’s Park Department has eight park areas with a total of 326 acres, and a Community Center which offers a wide variety of recreational activities . Two public golf courses are available in town -- one at the Hidden Pines Country Club, and another at Pertle Springs, operated by the University of Central Missouri .

Other attractions in the area include Powell Gardens, a 1,250 acre botanical garden just 12 miles west of Warrensburg on Missouri Highway 50 that contains hiking trails, picnic areas, and seasonal displays; Whiteman Air Force Base in Knob Noster, Mo ., home of the B-2 Bomber; Knob Noster State Park; and the Missouri State Fair, held each August in Sedalia, Mo .

Of course, visitors to Warrensburg can also take in the exciting athletic events and various cultural experiences provided at the University of Central Missouri .

Central Missouri has won five national championships since 1980 (men’s and women’s basketball in 1984--the first school in NCAA history to win both titles in the same season--baseball in 1994 and 2003, and women’s bowling in 2003), and seven overall .

The Jennies volleyball team has been to the

NCAA Tournament every season for the past 29 years, and the Mules have won 16 MIAA Indoor Track & Field titles in the last 18 years, and 10 of the last 12 MIAA Outdoor Track & Field crowns . The Mules baseball squad has made 19 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, including 13 Division II World Series berths in that span .

Seven UCM teams finished in the top 10 in the nation via ranking or place in 2011-12: volleyball finished in fourth along with women’s indoor and outdoor track . Mules golf finished in fifth, men’s indoor track and baseball were sixth and Jennies bowling finished in seventh .

Individually, UCM had 39 different All-American seasons and performances . They also took home four individual national championships in track and field . Lindsay Lettow captured the pentathlon (indoor) and heptathlon (outdoor) titles, while Kayla Muyskens won the shot put (outdoor) and Laban Sialo won the 5,000m run (indoor) . Dalton Moberly in cross country and Shawn Boss in indoor track & field earned the NCAA Elite 89 Award for the top GPA at the Championships .

UCM student-athletes once again excelled in the classroom as they were awarded 245 academic awards from the MIAA, including 18 student-athletes earning Academic Excellence Awards for having 4 .0 GPAs . In addition, 10 UCM student-athletes were named Academic All-Americans in their respective sports .
