SIEBEL VARSITY GOLF TRAINING COMPLEX

Stanford University Athletics has teamed with Robert Trent Jones II Golf Course Architects to create what is arguably the most innovative practice facility in all of golf. The 30-acre practice center is designed to provide Stanford’s men’s and women’s intercollegiate teams a unique training experience at a facility that is unmatched in collegiate golf.

Opened in April of 2008, the Siebel Varsity Golf Training Complex is crafted on 30 acres of previously undeveloped land adjacent to the Stanford Golf Course. The distinctive quality of the facility is its six green complexes, complete with bunkering, each inspired by a different design style that Stanford’s men’s and women’s intercollegiate teams play on a regular basis, each complete with intrinsic grasses and sand textures.

The Siebel Varsity Golf Training Complex offers six green complexes, complete with bunkering, each inspired by a different design style. Created to “train by scenario,” the Stanford men’s and women’s intercollegiate teams have the opportunity to play and practice shots that they will face in tournament competition, as each aspect of the facility is designed to emulate courses played during the year.

With a practice facility like none other in the world, the Stanford men’s and women’s golf teams will be better prepared to challenge any competitor and continue to seek excellence.

SEASON PREVIEW

Beginning her 14th season as head coach of the Stanford women’s golf program, Caroline O’Connor has high expectations for her 2008-2009 squad of talented golfers. “This team can achieve a lot more than people may realize,” she said. “We have to stay healthy and we have to stay focused, but we can compete with the best.”

Stanford returns fi ve experienced golfers as well as adding two highly touted freshmen to give the Cardinal a squad that should be very competitive at the national level.

The golfers strengthened their competitive edge through regular conferences with fi tness trainers and sports psychologists to focus on golf-specifi c training goals. Stanford’s resources are impressive, from identifying individual issues to conducting personal assessments, the Cardinal have the best and the brightest support staff available.

This year, the practice facilities will also offer more opportunities. “I’ve traveled around the world, and I’ve never seen another practice facility like the Siebel Center,” says O’Connor.” “We are so fortunate to have the support of Tom Siebel and John Arrillaga. It is a dream come true to have the opportunity to practice how you play. We can train our players to be the best.”

After a challenging 2007-2008 postseason, the Cardinal appears ready to compete at the highest levels possible. With fi ve returning athletes, the seven-woman squad will look to its two experienced seniors for guidance, and to their two accomplished freshmen for energy.

Mari Chun, one of two returning seniors, has “grown so much as both an individual and as a golfer,” says O’Connor. “She arrived at Stanford as a great player, but she has continued to achieve.” This year, Mari feels more confi dent and more comfortable than ever, and with a healthy prognosis, the team will look to the senior for guidance and consistency.

As an NCGA All-American honorable mention and second-team All-Pac 10 selection, she competed in 10 tournaments and led the Cardinal with a 74.1 scoring average. Her season included a team-low round of 68 at the 2007 at the Stanford Intercollegiate, a tie for third at the Peg Barnard Invitational, four top-10’s and six top-25’s on the season.

Ki-Shui Liao competed in eight events Stanford and fi nished the season

with a 79.1 scoring average. Her best fi nish was a tie for 32nd at the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational.

“Ki-Shui is one of the hardest workers I have ever seen,” says O’Connor of the senior. After making major swing changes during the past year, Ki-Shui returns to campus with confi dence, developed during a successful summer of competitive golf, including an NCGA win.

“Mari and Ki-Shui were members of a very successful team two years ago,” O’Connor said. “Last year, the women faced a very challenging season. But the two seniors have seen success and the team will look to them to be great role models.”

Angela King was the only Stanford player to qualify for the NCAA Championships last season, where she fi nished tied for 75th. She was runner-up at the Peg Barnard Invitational and had three top-25 fi nishes.

“Angela brings leadership and energy to the team. Her game is based on simple, solid fundamentals that make her shots look easy.”

Rebecca Durham competed in 10 tournaments during her rookie season, where her best tournament was a seventh place fi nish the Peg Barnard Invitational. She also had two other top-25 fi nishes and shot a season-best round of 69 in her fi rst collegiate round at the Franklin Rudolph Championship. She fi nished 34th at the Pac-10 Championships.

SEASON PREVIEW

“Rebecca is a hard-worker,” said O’Connor. “She is tenacious, competitive and expects so much of herself.” As a result, between her tenacity and physical ability, Rebecca will be integral to Cardinal success this year.

Sophomore Piper Miller competed in seven tournaments during her freshman season. Her best fi nish was a tie for 27th at Peg Barnard Invitational, followed by a tie for 30th at the Pac-10 Championships.

“Piper has made so many improvements in the past year, particularly in her strength training, O’Connor said.” Between Piper’s outstanding short game and her positive attitude, she will remain an asset to a successful squad.

Freshman Lila Barton found success during her years at Highland Park High School (Dallas, Texas) as a four-time all-district, all-region, and all-state honoree. She won the individual state title in 2006 and led Highland Park to the team championship in 2008 and runner-up fi nishes from 2005-2007. She played for Team USA at the 2005 Ping Junior Solheim Cup in Carmel, Ind., defeating Europe 16-8.

“Lila looks like a tour player,” O’Connor said. “She is athletic, has great fundamentals, and has found success at both national and international levels.” Her vast experience will give the Cardinal consistency and confi dence in the 2008-2009 season.

Freshman Sydney Burlison has already had a remarkable career. Named as a First-team all-state and team co-MVP, she led The Stevenson School (Pebble Beach, Calif.) to second place at the state championships. During her senior season she won individually and led her team at the 2008 Central Coast Section Championships. She is a two-time member of the United States Ping Junior Solheim Cup team and a four-time member of the West Team at the Canon Cup. She competed in the 2003 Women’s U.S. Open and 2008 U.S. Women’s Amateur.

“Sydney is one of the best players in the world,” said O’Connor. “She has an abundance of talent and her short game is Tour-quality.” Sydney’s impressive pre-collegiate record will supply the team with experience under pressure and success at all levels.

“Both Lila and Sydney are such accomplished young women, O’Connor said.” “They have enjoyed joining a team that is based on determination and strives for success. Arriving with the passion and determination that could be expected from such accomplished athletes, they have challenged the team, as both desire more than individual success, but seek success as a team.”

Head coach Caroline O’Connor enters her 14th year at the helm of the Stanford women’s golf program, which has become a perennial postseason

presence under her guidance. O’Connor has led her teams to numerous

tournament victories during her tenure. In 2000, she led the Cardinal to a second-place fi nish at

the NCAA Championships- the school’s best national fi nish in program history. Stanford

Stanford advanced to the NCAA Championships for an 18th consecutive year in 2005-06, tying for 13th place with the help of Tangtiphaiboontana’s 16th-place performance. Just days earlier, the Cardinal rallied for a fourth-place fi nish at the NCAA West Regional. Stanford collected two more top-three performances, fi nishing second at the Kent Youel Invitational and third at the Peg Barnard California Collegiate. Tangtiphaiboontana and Kelly Husted garnered All-Pac-10 honors and Tangtiphaiboontana, Husted and Stephanie Lue were named to the Pac-10 All-Academic team.

In 2002-03, Stanford again reached the NCAA Championships and tallied four top-fi ve fi nishes, including a runner-up fi nish at the Peg Barnard Collegiate. At that event, Wendra Liang took top medalist honors while teammate Kim Rowton was crowned the individual champion at the Kent Youel Invitational.

COACHING STAFF

Salimah Mussani enters her second season with the Cardinal as an assistant coach for the women’s golf program.

Last season Mussani helped coach Stanford to a sixth place fi nish at the Pac-10 Championships. Individually Angela King qualifi ed for the NCAA Championships and Mari Chun was named NGCA All-America honorable mention.

Mussani, a two-year letterwinner with the Cardinal during the 2000 and 2002 seasons after transferring from Texas, competed on the professional circuit since 2003.

Mussani’s most recent tournament victory came in August 2007, when she won the 2007 Canadian PGA Women’s Championship to take home her fi rst CPGA women’s title. In 2006, Mussani claimed the Michelob Ultra Duramed Futures Tour champion honors in her fi rst major. A two-time winner on the Canadian Tour that season, she also participated in two LPGA events (Canadian Open and State Farm Rail Classic).

In addition to winning the 2004 Vistal Classic, Mussani also competed in the 2003 U.S. Women’s Open.

A 2002 graduate of Stanford, Mussani was a member of the Cardinal squad that earned a runner-up fi nish at the 2000 NCAA

Championship. She also recorded fi ve top-10 fi nishes in two seasons. Mussani competed at Texas during her fi rst two collegiate seasons, earning Big 12 All-Academic honors in 1998.

Mussani, who attended Winston Churchill High School in San Antonio, Texas, as a senior, also had success at the junior level. A Texas State 5A High School champion, she was also a two-time Ontario Junior (1994, 1996) and Canadian Junior (1996, 1998) champion.

SALIMAH MUSSANIASSISTANT COACH2nd Season

Stanford ‘02

NIPac-10 performer (four-time All-Conference), winning the Edean Ehlanfeldt Invitational and the PING/ASU Invitational.

Hilary Homeyer, a second-team 2001 All-America selection in her senior year, had four top-10 fi nishes, nine in the top-25 and was an honorable mention and second team All-American during her fi rst three years. Homeyer also received All-Pac-10 First Team honors (four-time all-conference selection) and was tabbed a District VIII Verizon Academic All-American (three-time All-Scholar Team).

O’Connor’s fi rst full campaign saw Stanford fi nish fourth at the 1997 NCAA Championships, at the time tying the school’s best NCAA fi nish ever. Her squad also fi nished third at the West Regional Championship and fourth at the Pac-10 Championships. Over the course of the season, the Cardinal captured six individual and team tournament titles while Andrea Baxter and Mhairi McKay earned fi rst-team All-American honors.

In the summer of 1997, O’Connor coached the U.S. team that competed in the inaugural World Students Golf Championships Pacifi c Rim Tournament in Tsu City, Japan. In 1996, O’Connor led Stanford to a third-place fi nish in conference play and a fi fth-place fi nish nationally.

O’Connor was named head coach of the Stanford women’s golf program on an interim basis on February 1, 1996, and took over as head coach at the outset of the 1996-97 season.

O’Connor was a member of the NCAA Women’s Golf Committee from 2000 through 2004 and was voted the 2000-01 West Region Coach of the Year by the NGCA (National Golf Coaches Association). She was a Co-Chair of the NCAA Regional Advisory Committee for fi ve years and has been a member of the Golf World collegiate rankings committee, College Golf Foundation rankings committee and the NCGA fundraising committee.

Before coming to Stanford, O’Connor was a golf instructor at the Academy of Golf in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., for three years. She also played on the Futures Professional Women’s Golf Tour for two years. In 1990, O’Connor earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from St. Francis College, where she was also the school’s student body president. She enjoys skiing, water sports, traveling, reading and playing the piano. She resides in Santa Clara.

“I’m very proud of our tradition as Home of Champions, perpetuated by successes such as Hilary (Homeyer) Lunke’s at the 2003 U.S. Women’s Open,” noted O’Connor. “Stanford offers the challenge of a prestigious education combined with the excitement of dominating collegiate athletics. Stanford women’s golf has grown to be one of the elite programs in the country, where our tournament schedule is very competitive and we are fortunate to be home to one of the fi nest university golf courses, the Stanford Golf Course.

“At Stanford we take great pride in the successes we have attained both academically and athletically,” she continued. “Our tradition of excellence in these domains makes Stanford one of the most desirable universities in the world.”

HISTORY


further instructions. Thomas was ill and died a couple of years later having never seen the results of his effort.

Construction began in May of 1929, with great care being taken to preserve the oak trees. Ultimately, only 75 had to be removed. At that time, water for the irrigation of the campus came from Searsville Lake. Since a much great quantity of water would be required for the golf course, Felt Lake was enlarged to a capcity of 278,000,000 gallons. By December the course was ready. “Dick” Templeton, the track coach who fi rst used starting blocks in track meets, was in the fi rst foursome on opening day, January 1, 1930.

The course cost $188,000 to design and build, and enlarging Felt Lake cost $190,000. The club house, which cost $54,000, was designed by the architects Bakewell and Brown, who had designed many buildings on campus, and were noted for desiging City Hall in San Fancisco. Club member Wells P. Goodenough was the contractor.

One unique feature of the course was Bell’s bunker design, which included natural and undefi ned edges. The 12th hole is one of the most diffi cult in Northern California, having four trees down the middle of the fairway. The 18th tee is probably the most picturesque because of the spectacular view of San Francisco and almost the entire Bay Area.

Stanford University Golf Course is steeped in tradition. Throughout the years, Stanford has hosted many intercollegiate and non-collegiate events, including the Stanford Invitational, Pac-10 Championships, NCAA Western Regional, Women’s NCAA Championships, USGA Junior Amateur Qualifying, U.S. Open Qualifying and a former Senior PGA Tour event, The Gathering at The Farm.

Stanford University Golf Course, which is currently ranked as the sixth best University Course by Golfweek Magazine, has also produced many infl uential golfers throughout the years. Such notables include former USGA presidents Sandy Tatum and Grant Spaeth, and PGA Tour professionals Tom Watson, Tiger Woods and Notah Begay III.

STANFORD GOLF COURSEThe Stanford University Golf Course was

designed in 1930 by renowned golf course architects William Bell and George C. Thomas, Jr. Located in the foothills above the Stanford University Campus, the golf course is consistently rated one of the fi nest courses in the world. In 1998, the golf course was rated 91st in the country by Golf Week Magazine and in 1993 was rated 88th in the world by Golf Magazine.

In the 1920s, Stanford students lobbied for a golf course. The golf team was using the Burlingame Course for practice and was coached by the Burlingame pro Harold Sampson. Luckily, the students found an enthusaist in Almon E. Roth ’09, the University Controller, who had become hooked on the game and was a member of the Los Altos Country Club. In February 1929, he persuaded the Stanford University Board of Trustees to provide the land and fi nance the construction of a golf course at the University. Then he and Al Masters, the manger of the Athletic Department, hired

George C. Thomas Jr. and William “Billy” Bell to design and build the course

Roth had his own ideas as to the layout of the course, and when Bell arrived in March they walked the area. Bell immediately saw the possibility of incorporating San Fancisquito Creek into the design. Aquiring the land on the other side of the creek, which belonged to the Buck Estate, required a change in the California State

Constitution to allow a land swap. Roth fl ew to Sacramento from the Palo Alto Airport in an open cockpit biplane to lobby for the change.

Thomas designed the course and Bell managed the construction. Bell traveled back and forth to Beverly Hills updating Thomas on his progress and getting


Hitting areas and putting greens vary not only in style, but in their surface, as well. Players can get the feel of hitting and putting on bent grass, Bermuda grass and fescue. That philosophy applies to the various practice bunker areas that provide three completely different textures – coarse, desert waste-bunker sand; pure white, fl uffy sand; and beige, medium-coarse sand

Adjacent to the second fairway of the Stanford Golf Course, the Siebel Varsity Golf Training Complex is laid out in an L-shape, with two sections –200 yards wide by 400 yards long – that overlap at the turn. With the greens strategically placed around the perimeter of the property, all six complexes can be used at the same time that other players hit into adjacent landing areas. Also, players can hit to greens from an almost never-ending variety of spots.

With a practice facility like none other in the world, the Stanford men’s and women’s golf teams will be better prepared to challenge any competitor and continue to seek excellence.

Greens” depict aspects of the masters of golf course architecture; Alister MacKenzie, Pete Dye, A.W. Tillinghast, Tom Fazio, Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Robert Trent Jones II, actively showing differences of grass choice, sand variation, green contour, and more. The Siebel Varsity Golf Training Complex is “unique and the best of its kind,” says Robert Trent Jones Jr., the visionary behind the RTJ II fi rm. “There is nothing like it in the world.”

“The Siebel Varsity Golf Training Complex represents a huge step forward for our golf programs and the golf community at Stanford,” said head men’s golf coach Conrad Ray. “Having a facility that offers different types of design characteristics, grasses, sands, and shot scenarios we can truly “practice to play” which is a underlying principle by which we prepare. The

Siebel Complex is unlike any other collegiate facility in the country. It will add to our recruiting efforts as well as the game development of the players that are already on the team. We are very thankful of the support we have been given by the University and supporters as well as for the relationship that has been fostered with RTJII Golf Architects.”

Stanford University Athletics has teamed with Robert Trent Jones II Golf Course Architects to create what is arguably the most innovative practice facility in all of golf. The 30-acre practice center is designed to provide Stanford’s men’s and women’s intercollegiate teams a unique training experience at a facility that is unmatched in collegiate golf.

Opened in April of 2008, the Siebel Varsity Golf Training Complex is crafted on 30 acres of previously undeveloped land adjacent to the Stanford Golf Course. The distinctive quality of the facility is its six green complexes, complete with bunkering, each inspired by a different design style that Stanford’s men’s and women’s intercollegiate teams play on a regular basis, each complete with intrinsic grasses and sand textures.

The Siebel Varsity Golf Training Complex offers six green complexes, complete with bunkering, each inspired by a different design style. Created to “train by scenario,” the Stanford men’s and women’s intercollegiate teams have the opportunity to play and practice shots that they will face in tournament competition, as each aspect of the facility is designed to emulate courses played during the year.

Stanford University at a Glance

On October 1, 1891, the 465 new students

who were on hand for opening day

ceremonies at Leland Stanford Junior University

greeted Leland and Jane Stanford enthusiastically,

with a chant they had made up and rehearsed only

that morning. Wah-hoo! Wah-hoo! L-S-J-U! Stanford!

Its wild and spirited tone symbolized the excitement

of this bold adventure. As a pioneer faculty member

recalled, “Hope was in every heart, and the presiding

spirit of freedom prompted us to dare greatly.”

For the Stanford’s on that day, the university was the realization of a dream and a fi tting tribute to the memory of their only son, who had died of typhoid fever weeks before his sixteenth birthday. Far from the nation’s center of culture and unencumbered by tradition or ivy, the new university drew students from all over the country: many from California; some who followed professors hired from other colleges and universities; and some simply seeking adventure in the West. Though there were many diffi culties during the fi rst months – housing was inadequate, microscopes and books were late in arriving from the East – the fi rst year foretold of greatness. As Jane Stanford wrote in the summer of 1892, “Even our fondest hopes have been realized.”

Ideas of “Practical Education”

Governor and Mrs. Stanford had come from families of modest means and had built their way up through a life of hard work. So it was natural that their fi rst thoughts were to establish an institution where young men and women could “grapple successfully with the practicalities of life.” As their thoughts matured, these ideas of “practical education” enlarged to the concept of producing cultured and useful citizens who were well-prepared for professional success.

Nearly 116 years later, the university still enjoys the original 8,180 acres (almost 13 square miles) of grassy fi elds, eucalyptus groves, and rolling hills that were the Stanford’s generous legacy, as well as the Quadrangle of “long corridors with their stately pillars” at the center of campus. It is still true, as the philosopher William James said, during his stint as a visiting professor, that the climate is “so friendly ... that every morning wakes one fresh for new amounts of work.”

Current Perspectives

In other ways, the university has changed tremendously on its way to recognition as one of the world’s great universities. At the hub of a vital and diverse Bay Area, Stanford is less than hour’s drive south of San Francisco and just a few minutes north of the Silicon Valley, an area dotted with computer and high technology fi rms largely spawned by the university’s faculty and graduates. On campus, students and faculty enjoy new libraries, modern laboratories, tremendous sports and recreation facilities, and comfortable residences. Contemporary sculpture, as well as pieces from the Stanford Museum’s extensive collection of sculpture by Auguste Rodin, is placed throughout the campus, providing unexpected pleasures at many turns. At the Stanford Medical Center, world-renowned for its research, teaching, and patient care, scientists and physicians are searching for answers to fundamental questions about health and disease. Ninety miles down the coast, at Stanford’s Hopkins Marine Station on the Monterey Bay, scientists are working to better understand the mechanisms of evolution, human development, and ecological systems.

The university is organized into seven schools: Earth Sciences, Education, Engineering, the Graduate School of Business, Humanities and Sciences, Law and Medicine. In addition, there are more than 30 interdisciplinary centers, programs, and research laboratories – including the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace; the Institute for International Studies; the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center; and the Stanford Center for the Study of Families, Children and Youth – where faculty from a wide range of fi elds bring different perspectives to bear on issues and problems. Stanford’s Overseas Studies Program offers students in all fi elds remarkable opportunities for study abroad, with campuses in Australia, Beijing, Berlin, Cape Town, Florence, Kyoto, Madrid, Moscow, Oxford, Paris, and Santiago.

Stanford People

By any measure, Stanford’s faculty – which numbers just over 1,800 – is one of the most distinguished in the nation. As of the June of 2007, the faculty included 18 Nobel Laureates, four Pulitzer Prize winners, 24 MacArthur Fellows, 21 recipients of the National Medal of Science, three National Medley of Technology recipients, 228 members of the National Academy of Arts and Sciences, 135 members of the National Academy of Sciences, 83 National Academy of Engineering members, 29 members of the National Academy of Education, seven Wolf Foundation Prize winners, seven winners of the Koret Foundation Prize and three Presidential Medal of Freedom winners. Yet beyond their array of honors, what truly distinguishes Stanford faculty is their commitment to sharing knowledge with their students. The great majority of professors teach undergraduates both in introductory lecture classes and in small advanced seminars.

Currently 14881 students, of which 6689 are undergraduates, live and study on campus. A little more than 40 percent come from California, but all 50 states and approximately 68 countries are represented as well. Among undergraduates, approximately 55 percent are African American, Asian American, International, Mexican American, Native American, Native Hawaiian or Other Hispanic in ethnicity. Like the faculty, the Stanford

student body is distinguished. Approximately 10 students apply to Stanford for every place in the freshman class with 89% of those admitted fi nishing in the top 10% of their high school class. Ninety-four Stanford students have been named Rhodes Scholars, 74 have been selected Marshall Award winners, and 49 have been chosen Truman Scholars. Nearly 90 percent of graduating seniors plan to attend graduate or professional schools. Stanford students also shine in a tremendous array of activities outside the classroom – from student government to music, theater, and journalism. Through the Haas Center for Public Service, students participate in many community service activities, such as tutoring programs for children in nearby East Palo Alto, the Hunger Project, and the Arbor Free Clinic.

In the athletic arena, Stanford students have enjoyed tremendous success as well. Stanford fi elds teams in 36 Division I varsity sports (15 men, 20 women, 1 co-ed). Of Stanford’s 95 NCAA titles (107 national), 55 have been captured since 1990, by far the most in the nation. Thirty-eight of Stanford’s athletes and coaches participated in the 1992 Olympics in

Barcelona, 49 competed in Atlanta at the 1996 Games, 34 represented Stanford at the 2000 Games in Sydney, and 43 Stanford associates competed at the 2004 Games in Athens. Intramural and club sports are also popular; over 1,000 students take part in the club sports program, while participation in the intramural program has reached 9,000, with many students active in more than one sport.

Looking Ahead

In her address to the Board of Trustees, in 1904, Jane Stanford said, “. . . Let us not be afraid to outgrow old thoughts and ways, and dare to think on new lines as to the future of the work under our care.”

Her thoughts echo in the words of former Stanford President Gerhard Casper, who has said, “The true university must reinvent itself every day . . . At Stanford, these are days of such reconsideration and fresh support for our fundamental tasks – teaching, learning, and research.”

One of the most respected and admired athletic admin-istrators in the nation, Bob Bowlsby enters his third

full year as the Jaquish & Kenninger Director of Athletics at Stanford University, a position he was appointed to on April 25, 2006 after spending 15 years at the helm of the University of Iowa’s athletic program. In his initial two years in the posi-tion, Stanford has continued its well-earned reputation of fielding the most successful and wide-ranging Division I-A athletic programs in the nation.

As Stanford’s sixth athletic director, Bowlsby succeeds Ted Leland (1991-2005), Andy Geiger (1979-90), Joe Ruetz (1972-78), Chuck Taylor (1963-71) and Al Masters (1925-63). Bowlsby directs a department that includes 35 intercollegiate varsity teams – 15 men’s, 19 women’s and one coed – plus the physical education department, intramurals, club sports, open recreation and the Stanford Golf Course. The department has an annual budget of approximately $75 million and a staff of over 225.

“Bob Bowlsby represents the best professional and personal values when it comes to student-athletes,” said Stanford University Provost John Etchemendy. “He under-stands that the success of an athletics program is not simply measured in wins and losses, but in the academic achieve-ments and character of the young women and men who work so hard on the field and in the classroom.”

Under his administrative guidance, Stanford claimed its unprecedented 14th straight U.S. Sports Academy Directors’ Cup last year, emblematic of the top overall program in the country. Sixteen Stanford teams boasted Top 10 finishes, win-ning national championships in women’s cross country and synchronized swimming. In addition, the women’s volleyball, women’s basketball and men’s golf teams enjoyed runner-up NCAA Tournament finishes in their respective sports, while the men’s basketball team advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Eight Stanford teams claimed confer-ence championships.

Stanford’s student-athletes were also highly-decorated last season. Two players – Foluke Akinradewo (women’s vol-leyball) and Candice Wiggins (women’s basketball) – earned national player of the year honors while nine student-ath-letes earned conference player of the year marks. In addition, three student-athletes – Hilary Barte (women’s tennis), Alex

BobBOWLSBY

THE JAQUISH & KENNINGER

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

Clayton (men’s tennis) and Alix Klineman (women’s volley-ball) – earned national freshmen of the year accolades.

Stanford student-athletes continue to excel in the class-room, as 14 Cardinal student-athletes earned academic All-America status during the 2007-08 season. Six Stanford student-athletes – Neftalem Araia (cross country), Russell Brown (track and field), Rachel Buehler (women’s soccer), Tanner Gardner (wrestling), Rob Grube (men’s golf) and Arianna Lambie (women’s cross country) – were named Pac-10 Scholar Athletes of the Year.

Ten Stanford student-athletes – Araia, Buehler, Dylan Carney (men’s gymnastics), Michael Garcia (men’s track and field), Gardner, Sandy Hohener (men’s water polo), Graeme Hoste (men’s track and field), Josh Hustedt (track and field), Lambie and Laura Shane (lacrosse) – were named NCAA Postgraduate Scholars. In addition, Carney was the recipient of the Walter Byers Postgraduate Scholarship, the highest academic honor in intercollegiate athletics.

Bowlsby continues to leave his mark in Stanford’s coach-ing circles. Under first-year head coach Jim Harbaugh, the Stanford football team was on of the most improved squads in the Pac-10 Conference last season, as evident of wins over top-ranked (USA Today) USC and defending Pac-10 Conference co-champion Cal. Last spring, Bowlsby ushered in a new era of Stanford basketball with the hiring of head coach Johnny Dawkins.

Throughout his career, Bowlsby has emerged as a national leader in intercollegiate and amateur athletics. He was named in February, 2007, to the United States Olympic Committee Board of Directors.

He has previously served as President of the NCAA Division I-A Athletic Directors’ Association (2002-03), Chair of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee for two years (2003-05) and a committee member for five years, Chair of the Big Ten Administrator’s Council (2002-04) and Chair of the NCAA Management Council.

Bowlsby was appointed by President George Bush as a member of the Commission on Opportunities in Athletics in 2002-03. The committee was led by U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige.

Bowlsby was elected chair of the NCAA Olympic Sports Liaison Committee and represented the NCAA as one of two voting members on the United States Olympic Committee Board of Directors. He served as a member of the NCAA/U.S. Olympic Committee Task Force chaired by Cedric Dempsey and George Steinbrenner.

In addition, Bowlsby served as chair of the NCAA Wrestling Committee and has served on NCAA committees on Financial Aid and Amateurism, the Special Committee to Review Amateurism Issues and the Special Committee to Review Financial Conditions in Athletics.

Bowlsby has also served as an Executive Committee member with both the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics and the Division I-A Athletic

Directors Association and served as President of the I-A organization for two years.

The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) named Bowlsby in 2001-02 as Central Region Athletic Director of the Year and Sports Business Journal selected him from the four regional award winners as the National Athletics Director of the Year. The award highlights the efforts of the athletic directors for their com-mitment and positive contributions to campuses and their surrounding communities.

As the chief administrator for Iowa’s athletic department from 1991-2006, Bowlsby earned a reputation as one of the most admired, energetic and ambitious athletic admin-istrators in the nation. Bowlsby guided and supervised the merger of the Hawkeye’s women’s and men’s athletics departments while enabling Iowa to maintain its standing as one of the most visible and successful Division I athletic programs.

Under his leadership, Iowa enjoyed unprecedented suc-cess and growth in the area of fund raising and facilities. Bowlsby and the UI Development staff put in place $25 million in endowments to help support Hawkeye student-athlete scholarship aid. In addition, he managed the plan-ning and construction of $120 million in facility projects on campus, including an $87 million renovation to Kinnick Stadium.

A native of Waterloo, Iowa, Bowlsby became Iowa’s 10th Athletic Director in June, 1991, after serving in the same role at the University of Northern Iowa since 1984. Bowlsby earned his bachelor’s degree from Moorhead State University (Minnesota) in 1975 and his master’s degree from the University of Iowa in 1978. He and his wife, Candice, have four children: Lisa, Matt, Rachel and Kyle.
