WHAT’S IN A NAME?The offi cial school name is the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga which is the proper usage in fi rst reference to the athletics program. The appropriate short form is simply Chattanooga with the abbreviated form of UTC. “Chatt” is acceptable as a leaderboard moniker. There is no hyphenated form of the school name (i.e. UT-Chattanooga, Tennessee-Chattanooga, Tenn.-Chatt., UT Chattanooga, etc.). The nickname is simply Mocs. For more information and current athletic marks, turn to page 14.

NO. 1 IN THE NATIONThe Chattanooga Mocs men’s golf team has twice been ranked No. 1 in the nation by Golfstat. Both occurences came in fall rankings in 2008 and 2009. In both cases, the Mocs started strong at the Carpet Capital Collegiate Classic with a win in 2008 and runner-up in 2009.

FORMER MOCS IN PROFESSIONAL GOLFAmong the numerous golfi ng alums of the University, there are several in the world of professional golf. Jonathan Hodge (‘10) earned his Web.com Tour card in December 2012 at PGA Tour Q School. Stephan Jaeger (‘12) also reached the fi nal stage of Q School and has Web.com Tour status for 2013. Jaeger and recent grads Bryce Ledford (‘07), Derek Rende (‘10) and Tripp Harris (‘10) are also working their way up through the myriad of tours (e.g. NGA/Hooters, eGolf, Canadian, etc.). Kip Henley (‘82) was the winner of the Golf Channel’s Big Break II and recently caddied for PGA Tour pro Brian Gay.

SPORTS MEDICINEFIRST-RATE CAREFIRST-RATE CARE

The Mocs have an excellent relationship with nearby Erlanger Hospital, providing top-quality care to all UTC student-athletes.

The Chattanooga Mocs Sports Medicine Program provides prevention, care, and

rehabilitation services for all student-athletes. UTC has two athletic training rooms that

serve all athletic teams. Thanks to funding from Erlanger Hospital, the athletic training

rooms are equipped with the most up-to-date rehabilitation equipment including a

Biodex Isokinetic Unit, a Neurocom for balance testing and training, and a Trazer unit for

functional rehabilitation. In addition, the Chattanooga Group, Inc., provides therapeutic

modalities for use as both rehabilitation equipment and instructional devices for

students enrolled in the Graduate Athletic Training Program.

The Graduate Athletic Training Program at UTC plays a major role in providing

certifi ed athletic trainers to insure that student-athletes are well taken care of. The

entry-level masters program is one of few programs in the country that allows students

to earn a master’s degree while they gain eligibility to sit for the Board of Certifi cation

Exam. Members of the athletics department and the graduate program staff the athletic

training rooms. They work together to insure quality health care for all Mocs student-

athletes and quality academic instruction for athletic training students in the graduate

program.Dir. of Sports Medicine Todd Bullard (left) has led the care of Mocs student-athletes for the past seven years. DirDi of Sf Sports M dMedi iicine T dTodd Bd B llull dard (l(l feft) h) has l dled hthe care fof MMocs studdent a hlthlete fs for hthe past seven years

ACADEMICALLYThe Mocs’ student-athletes continue to have tremendous success in the classroom. Below are just a few of the Academic accolades UTC received last year: • The overall g.p.a. of the Mocs’ student-athletes has increased in seven of the last eight terms, culminating with a school-record-tying 2.97 in the spring. • More than half of all UTC student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 grade-point-average in each of the last six semesters.• Each member of the SoCon Champion women’s golf team made the Dean’s List in the spring. • Men’s cross country led the nation with a 3.81 g.p.a. and the women were fi fth with a 3.73.

SOCIALLYThe Chattanooga Mocs Athletics Department is heavily

involved in community events throughout the year. UTC student-athletes, coaches and staff logged over 1,800 hours volunteering in the community over the last year at events such as canned food drives, the Freshman Move-In, Bloodanooga, Clean and Green and Read Across America.

The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) plans many of the Athletic Department’s community events. The Mocs have a presence at Chattanooga’s Special Olympics events each year. UTC student-athletes also host many events that engage the local community, such as the 2012 Southern Scuffl e.

WHAT’S A MOC?NICKNAME & MARKSNICKNAME & MARKS

THE ANSWER For more than a decade, this question has puzzled many fans and observers of

Chattanooga Athletics.

The UTC Athletics Department changed logos in 1997, moving away from Native

American imagery to a package of logos using railroad images, the nickname “Mocs” and

the Scrappy mascot. The new package emphasized UTC’s connection to Chattanooga and

the city’s railroad heritage and incorporated the Tennessee state bird.

The term “Moc” is short for “Mockingbird.” Mockingbirds are fi ercely territorial

creatures which protect their homes with courage, determination and skill. Those attributes

refl ect the intellect, spirit and character of UTC student-athletes and alumni. A Moc is a

champion on the playing surface, in the classroom and, most importantly, in life.

SCRAPPY Named after legendary football coach A.C. “Scrappy” Moore, Scrappy, the

Chattanooga mascot, is a fi xture for the Mocs. A re-design in 2008 puts Scrappy in the

image of the State Bird of Tennessee, the Mockingbird. The mockingbird is known as a

fi erce protector of its nest and environment. It is sometimes seen swooping down on a

dog, cat or predator that may be venturing too close to the bird’s protected territory. Once

described by “Late Night” host Jimmy Fallon as “a sledge-hammer wielding mockingbird

with a heart of Blue & Gold,” Scrappy symbolizes that competitive passion.

WHY MOCS?Faced with politically sensitive issues and in need of a stronger core identity

to help establish a strong brand as Chattanooga’s Team, the athletics department

embarked on a comprehensive identity program in 1996. A new direction for the

athletics identity was determined, moving away from the politically incorrect Native

American Indian imagery.

Several identities have been used in the past. With the old nickname “Moccasins,”

a snake was used in the 1920s and an Indian was used until the year of major change in

1996. A moccasin shoe was even used in the 1980s.

In 1996, it was decided to adopt the State Bird of Tennessee, the Mockingbird,

as the core of the new identity, while incorporating the strong regional imagery of

Chattanooga’s vast railroad history. The mascot “Scrappy” was born and a new emphasis

was placed on the athletics department’s role in the region.

The committee also recognized the need for the word “Chattanooga” to have a

great emphasis in the logo. The nickname “Moccasins” was shortened to simply “Mocs”.

Thus established, Chattanooga could rebuild its athletics programs and initiatives

around this new identity.

And rebuild it did. Quickly establishing the identity program in February 1997,

combined with tremendous success in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, UTC had

positioned itself to reach for the next level.

From 1997 to 2007, the primary logo was the mascot, Scrappy, riding a train. The

secondary logo features the front of a train with the word Mocs built into the logo. This

logo is aff ectionately called the “Cowcatcher logo,” referring to the front lower grill of the

train that helped push objects from the train tracks.

In August 2007, offi cials at Chattanooga updated the school’s marks. A new C logo,

the “Power C” as it has become

known to fans and alums, was

created as the primary mark

and is emblazoned on the side

of the football team’s helmets.

The secondary marks were

updated with a more modern

look, and a new font, unique

to the school, is now used on

the text areas of the logos and

marks.

In September 2008,

Scrappy was re-branded to

better match the image of a

mockingbird and refl ect the

rich tradition of our state, our

city and our University. New

marks of the head as well as

a full body were released. The

program has also been taking

special eff orts to stay true

to its color palette—which

includes navy blue and old

gold.

Secondary Athletics Marks:

The “Power C” is the primary mark of the Chattanooga athletics department. It can be used alone or with “CHATTANOOGA MOCS” in the school’s custom-made font below the C.

MARK GUHNESEVENTH SEASONSEVENTH SEASON

Mark Guhne (pronounced JUNE) took the reins of the

Chattanooga Mocs men’s golf team in 2005 and has led his

alma mater to unprecedented heights in men’s golf. He has

spearheaded a consistent presence in the national rankings.

His impact is not just felt in one area of the program. The

squad has excelled in each aspect of the UTC Athletics Mission

Statement which is to “guide, encourage and support our

Student-Athletes in their quest for comprehensive excellence

- academically, athletically and socially. Above all else, we

prepare Students for productive and meaningful lives.”

With 16 team and 12 individual wins, a strong academic

achievement record and a solid presence in the community,

it’s easy to see his commitment to establishing comprehensive

excellence as the UTC standard.

ATHLETICALLY

During Guhne’s tenure, the Mocs have been ranked No. 1 in the nation twice and won a NCAA

Regional. Enough said? Not hardly.

In 2012, four diff erent individuals won fi ve events – two collegiate. It included NCAA Regional

and SoCon Championships by Stephan Jaeger and two Scottish summer titles: Tennant Cup (Liam

Johnston) and North East Open (Chris Robb). Oh and Steven Fox captured the United States

Amateur.

Four of Chattanooga’s fi ve Southern Conference Championships have been under his guidance,

winning in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2012. His charges not only swept team and medalist honors at the

2012 SoCon Championship, but they followed it up with an epic sweep at the NCAA Bowling Green

Regional coming from behind to beat the likes of UCLA, Texas A&M, Arkansas and Clemson.

Six of his seven teams have advance to NCAA Regional play. Twice, 2009 and 2012, the Mocs

moved on to compete in the NCAA Championship fi nishing 18th both times at Inverness in 2009 and

Riviera Country Club in 2012.

He has recruited and helped develop two All-Americans. Jaeger is the most recent, earning fi rst

team honors in 2012, while former teammate Jonathan Hodge made the second team in 2008.

Guhne has mentored fi ve of the last six SoCon Golfers of the Year in Hodge and Jaeger. Hodge

won the award in 2007 and 2008, while Jaeger is the only student-athlete in league history to win

it three times.

Jaeger is the jewel of the Guhne years as the most decorated student-athlete in the program’s

history. He holds virtually every tournament, season and career record of note. His four career wins

along with Hodge (3) rank 1-2 among the all-time leaders.

But the program was not built on just two student-athletes. Six diff erent golfers have wins

under Guhne, accounting for 12 overall. The team’s 16 overall wins include fi ve postseason. The big

regular season victory came just down the road at The Farm in Rocky Face, Ga., as Guhne’s Mocs won

the prestigious Carpet Capital Collegiate Classic, in 2008.

That win spurred the fi rst No. 1 ranking in school history. The second came a year later in 2009.

The top fi nal team ranking is No. 12 (Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index) in 2008 with another

top 25 in 2009 (No. 25). The 2012 team just missed out, ending up No. 27 on Golfstat.

That 2007-08 team had a remarkable year in earning the No. 12 fi nal ranking. It won a

program-record fi ve times with three medalist honors by Hodge, another school record later tied by

Jaeger in 2012.

Guhne has four SoCon Coach of the Year awards - 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012 - in his seven seasons

with the top ranked team in the league over the last six. He was also named 2009 Eaton/Golf Pride

East Region Coach of the Year.

He’s had 10 PING All-East Region selections highlighted by Jaeger’s four appearances and Derek

Rende’s three. Those two are four-time All-SoCon selections which accounts for eight of Guhne’s 19

all-league members.

The 2011-12 team will be long remembered for the postseason title run as well as the

remarkable eff ort by Jaeger. His three wins tied Hodge’s season record and his 22-under par total for

the season led to fi rst team All-American honors.

Fox off ered on of the top highlights of the campaign. His second round 64 (-8) set the course

record at the Club at Olde Stone at the Bowling Green Regional.

Jaeger became the fi rst Mocs golfer since Donnie Green in 1978 to win the SoCon

Championship and did so by tying Brad Faxon’s (Furman) record for margin of victory (11 shots). He

also set the school 54-hole record shooting 13-under par 203 in winning the NCAA Bowling Green

Regional.

Guhne’s had several individuals ranked among the nation’s leaders year-in and year-out. Jaeger

ended the 2012 season ranked No. 12 in the Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index which is another

program best for the German.

Hodge’s No. 26 in 2008 is second to Jaeger, but it is also the only time the Mocs have had three

top 100 performers in the same season. Rende (74) and Fredrik Qvicker (88) joined Hodge as the

squad boasted four All-Southern Conference performers with that trio and Ben Rickett.

Guhne’s 2010-11 squad showcased his ability to continue moving the program forward. His

No. 1-ranked squads did so with a remarkably similar roster. This one followed those years with just

one junior (Jaeger) and a sophomore (Fox) to go with three freshmen in the lineup.

That group had the fewest losses in Guhne’s six seasons with just 41 in 11 events. The young

squad had many memorable moments. They knocked off three top 15 programs in national runner-

up Georgia, Stanford and Iowa in a week’s time fi nishing second at the Linger Longer and LSU

National Invites to Alabama and LSU, respectively.

As part of the growth of the student-athlete, Guhne encourages aggressive summer

tournament schedules. During his tenure, fi ve players have qualifi ed for the U.S. Amateur, three in

2007 in Hodge, Rende and Bryce Ledford. Jaeger qualifi ed in 2011 and Fox won it in 2012.

Qvicker fi nished as low amateur at the 2007 Scandanavian Masters, while Rickett qualifi ed for

the 2007 English Amateur, fi nishing in the fi nal 16, and the 2008 British and English Ams. Rickett,

Qvicker and Jaeger all advanced to match play at the Amateur together in 2009.

Rende won the 2007 Tennessee State Open and then followed in 2008 with a win at the

Tennessee State Amateur. Hodge qualifi ed for the Western Refi ning All-American in 2008 and

played a phenomenal summer schedule which included a third-round fi nish at the North/South

Amateur. Jaeger was a wild-card entry in the 2011 BMW International Open on the European Tour.

Fox won the 2011 Tennessee Match Play Championship. He made a run at the 2009 Tennessee

Open title fi nishing tied for second to Ledford and was a semi-fi nalist at the 2010 Match Play

Championship. He and incoming freshman Kory Webb won their qualifi ers for the 2012 U.S.

Amateur Public Links Championship.

ACADEMICALLY

Chattanooga’s men’s golf team takes the term student-athlete to heart. The team yearly posts

one of the athletic department’s top team GPA’s and in 2012 received national notice.

The squad achieved a perfect multi-year APR score of 1,000 for the period 2008-11. It became

the fi rst program in UTC history to attain the mark over a four-year period.

While maintaining eligibility and graduating is important in athletics, the Mocs have excelled

in the classroom. Every student-athlete that Guhne has brought to Chattanooga and completed

eligibility has graduated.

During the 2008-11 time period, the Mocs had two All-America scholars in Jaeger and Rende

along with multiple Academic All-SoCon, Dean’s List and Athletic Director’s Honor Roll mentions.

The team’s commitment to the classroom mirrors its play on the course.

MARK GUHNE4-TIME SOCON COACH OF THE YEAR4-TIME SOCON COACH OF THE YEAR

another example of how Guhne continues his eff orts in establishing comprehensive excellence as

the Mocs standard.

Guhne was elevated to the head coaching position on March 1, 2005, after three seasons

serving as assistant coach to Reed Sanderlin. A PGA professional, Guhne has earned Class A status

and was the 2007 Horton Smith Award winner. He was elected president of the Chattanooga

chapter of the PGA in 2008.

Among his playing accomplishments, Guhne was selected to the 2007 Tennessee Challenge

Cup team. In 2003 and 2004, he represented Tennessee in the Tennessee vs. Georgia PGA Cup

Matches.

Mark and his wife Kelly are both Chattanooga graduates with each earning degrees in 1984.

The couple resides in Hixson, Tenn. He is an avid fi sherman in his spare time.

Four Mocs earned Dean’s List mention

(Jaeger, Robb, Davis Bunn, Alex Ratliff )

and another two joined the quartet on the

Athletic Director’s Honor Roll in 2011-12.

That’s six of seven team members with a

3.0 or better.

Jaeger took UTC’s top academic honor

in 2012 winning the Dayle May Award. It

goes to the senior male and female student-

athletes with the best cumulative grade

point average.

The team has had numerous SoCon

All-Academic members to go with countless

Dean’s List and Athletic Director’s Honor

Rolls. And as long as Guhne is in charge,

that won’t change.

SOCIALLY

His teams are active in the community

as well with several projects, but one has

become a major project. The Mocs have

been very active the last two years with

the City of Chattanooga Parks & Recreation

Therapeutic Recreation Services C.H.I.P.S.

program.

C.H.I.P.S. Golf is one of the many

programs Therapeutic Recreation Services

facilitates for individuals who have

disabilities. C.H.I.P.S. makes it possible for

anyone regardless of his or her disability to

be able to play the game of golf.

UTC student-athletes have been active

playing rounds on regular basis with the

C.H.I.P.S. golfers. The team also hosted a golf

skills open house for the group prior to the

2011 NCAA Colorado Regional at the Player

Development Complex.

In 2012, Jaeger coordinated the

team’s eff orts making certain there was an

active presence at C.H.I.P.S. events. It is just

The 2012 Mocs earned their way to the 2012 NCAA Championship at famed Riviera Country Club by winning the Bowling Green Regional.

Ben Rickett, Assistant CoachBen was named full-time assistant with the men’s golf

program in May of 2010 after serving one year as a student

assistant while fi nishing his degree in psychology. He assists

head coach Mark Guhne in all aspects of managing the program

including recruiting, equipment purchasing, practice and on-

course coaching.

His greatest claim to fame came at the 2012 United States

Amateur fi nal. With Steven Fox two down through 18 holes,

Rickett took over the bag as caddie. Fox ended up leveling the

match on the fi nal hole after being two down and dormie with

two to play. He won the match on the 37th hole crediting his

caddie’s stellar work.

Rickett was a four-year letterwinner for the Mocs playing 116 rounds in his four seasons

averaging 73.66 strokes per rounds. His best year came as a senior in 2008-09 where he led the

team ranking No. 107 in the Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index.

That year, Rickett posted a team-best four top 10 fi nishes and eight top 20. He earned PING

All-East Region honors along with his second All-SoCon honor. His best fi nish was tied for second at

the Aldila Scenic City Invitational shooting 205 (-11). Most impressive fi nish was tying for eighth at

the PING Golfweek Preview (212, -1).

Ben carded 16 rounds in the 60s for his career, 39 par or better with 10 top 10s. He tied for

second twice at the Aldila Scenic City Invitational in 2007 and 2008 with his 2007 result of 11-under

par 205 serving as his career best. His low of 66 came at the 2007 Scenic City. He counted in 60 of

his fi nal 68 team rounds.

A native of Surrey, England, Rickett is a former top 100 in the world as an amateur. He made

match play at the 2009 British Amateur as well as several English Amateurs reaching the round of

16 in 2006.

He is married to the former Shelley Taylor, who was a track standout for the Mocs.

The 2012-13 Chattanooga

Mocs men’s golf team looks to

maintain the momentum built at

the end of the 2011-12 season.

UTC swept team and individual

titles at the Southern Conference

Championship and NCAA Bowling

Green Regional.

The team ran away with the

SoCon crown by 19 shots. It then

came from behind to best Texas

A&M and UCLA in Bowling Green.

Back are fi ve who started

a minimum of six events. Gone

is PING First Team All-American

Stephan Jaeger who won

medalist at both postseason

events.

“It’s always tough when you

lose a player like Jaeger,” said head coach Mark Guhne of the young man who set virtually

every school record during his career. “Of course we have a pretty good one coming back

to build around.”

Guhne is referring to the young man who built on the program’s momentum ending

the 2012 season. That’s Steven Fox, 2012 United States Amateur Champion. Possibly the

single greatest feat in UTC athletics history.

“I could not be happier for, nor prouder of Steven,” Guhne added. “He had a magical

week but it is something he built toward over his three years here.”

Junior Chris Robb (Aberdeenshire, Scotland) and sophomore Liam Johnston

(Dumfries, Scotland) each started both the SoCon, where Robb was runner-up, and NCAA

events. Juniors Benni Weilguni (Lagenlois, Austria) and Davis Bunn also saw postseason

action with Weilguni getting the nod at the SoCon Championship and Bunn stepping in

for the NCAA run.

Senior Alex Ratliff (Kingsport, Tenn.) returns for his fi nal season. Guhne also

welcomes a trio of talented freshmen - Wes Gosselin (Knoxville, Tenn.), Michael Monroe

(Franklin, Tenn.) and Kory Webb (Knoxville, Tenn.).

That group of nine have a challenging slate ahead of them beginning in Dalton, Ga.,

with one of the most prestigious

events in golf, the Carpet Capital

Collegiate Championship. Known

as the “Masters of College Golf”,

the Carpet Capital annually

attracts an elite fi eld. This year

is no diff erent with Chattanooga

being joined by the likes of fellow

NCAA Championship participants

Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, UNF

and national champion Texas

in the 15-team fi eld. Clemson,

Georgia Tech, LSU and Tennessee

are also in the mix.

“Our 2008 win here is one of

the top moments in my coaching

career,” Guhne noted. “It is such a very special place. Short of NCAA titles, you can’t really

top winning the Carpet Capital. Plus our families, friends and fans can easily come out and

join us over the weekend.”

The Carpet Capital is played at the Farm in Rocky Face (Dalton), Ga. It is a 30-

mile drive from downtown Chattanooga aff ording golf fans in the area an excellent

opportunity to see this year’s team open the season.

It doesn’t get any easier for the Mocs. The PING/Golfweek Preview is the following

week at the Capital City Club Crabapple Course outside Atlanta. That’s the host site for

the NCAA Championship in the spring. Another star-studded 15-team fi eld awaits with

Texas, Alabama, Cal, UCLA, Washington, Georgia and Georgia Tech among those awaiting

Chattanooga. In fact, seven of the eight teams that earned match play in the 2012

championship are in the tourney.

Next are two familiar events for UTC. The team travels to the Brickyard Collegiate Oct.

5-7 in Macon, Ga., and the AutoTrader.com Collegiate Classic Oct. 15-16 in Duluth, Ga. It

concludes the fall at the Bridgestone Golf Collegiate Oct. 27-28 in Greensboro, N.C.

“It is a very aggressive fall schedule,” Guhne continued. “We see the defending

national champion (Texas) twice and keep coming across Alabama, the runner-up last

year. But it shows how far along our program has come and where it is headed.”

The spring opens in Texas for the Redstone Collegiate Championship in the Houston

suburb of Humble, Texas. The event is Feb. 22-24 at Redstone Golf Club.

Chattanooga returns to action in March at the Auburn Tiger Shootout March 11-12 on

the Grand National Lake Course

in Auburn. The Mocs return

to the Furman Intercollegiate

March 22-24 in Greenville, S.C.

April opens at the Reunion

Intercollegiate in Jackson, Miss.,

on the fi rst and second. UTC

won Ole Miss’ tournament in

its only other visit to Reunion

Golf and Country Club in 2008.

The regular season concludes

April 6-7 in Concord, N.C.,

for Charlotte’s Irish Creek

Intercollegiate.

“Those 10 tournaments (fall

& spring) are designed to have

us playing our best heading into

championship season,” Guhne added.

The Mocs defend their SoCon Championship April 21-23 at the Ralston Creek

Course in Daniel Island, S.C. NCAA Regionals, another title defense, are May 16-18 at

the following sites: Baton Rouge, La. (University Club), Columbus, Ohio (Scarlet Course),

Fayetteville, Ark. (The Blessings G.C.), Pullman, Wash. (Palouse Ridge G.C.), Tallahassee,

Fla. (Golden Eagle C.C.) and Tempe, Ariz. (Karsten G.C.).

The NCAA Championship is May 28-June 2 at Capital City Club Crabapple Course.

Alpharetta, Ga., will welcome 30 teams and six individuals for 54 holes of stroke play

crowning an individual medalist. The top eight teams at that point move on the three

days of match play to decide the 2013 Champion.

“Our eyes are always on winning the SoCon Championship and grabbing a coveted

top fi ve spot in regionals to make it to the fi nals,” he concluded. “From there, we are trying

to break down that wall and make match play.

“This year’s as good as any to do that.”

The Southern Conference, which begins its 92nd season of intercollegiate competition in 2011, is a national leader

in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and defi ning the league’s role in helping to build lifelong

leaders and role models.

The SoCon is the nation’s fi fth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the

Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacifi c 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of

origination.

Academic excellence has been a major part of the SoCon’s tradition. League athletes have been recognized countless

times on Verizon/CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have

been selected from conference institutions.

The SoCon has sent three schools to regionals in three of the last six years with the Mocs leading the charge in 2009,

2010 and 2011 and with multiple individual berths including Emma de Groot in 2008. A SoCon school has qualifi ed

for the NCAA Championship four times since the turn of the century with the Mocs being the most recent entry in

2009.

The Southern Conference offi ce is located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in

operation from 1880 until 1999, the Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today off ers the SoCon a fi rst-class

meeting area and offi ces as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.
