In his 18th season as the head men’s and women’s cross coun-try and track & fi eld coach, Pete Corfeld continues to make his mark as one of the most successful coaches the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has ever seen.

“Pete has done a tremendous job of building his program so that it is at the top of the Horizon League year in and year out,” UWM AD Bud Haidet said. “He’s our longest-tenured coach and we are fortunate to keep him and see his program continue to succeed.”

He added the 25th, 26th and 27th league titles to the Panther trophy case last year as the men swept the indoor and outdoor cham-pionships for the second-straight season. The women won their indoor meet for the fi rst time since 2003 after second-place fi nishes the two years prior. Corfeld was also honored with three coach of the year awards, giving him 26 such honors since coming to UWM.

The Panthers have established themselves as the premier track and fi eld program in the Horizon League under Corfeld. The Milwaukee men have won eight indoor titles in the last nine years, including fi ve straight from 1997-2001. Outdoors, the Panthers claimed league titles from 1998-2002 before winning each of the last three.

Not to be outdone, the women annually fi nish among the league leaders come championship time. Thay have won titles

both indoors and outdoors in 2001 and 2003. They also laid claim to an indoor championship in 2000 and again last season after winning outdoors in 1998 and 2002.

UWM’s men have also posted a pair of second-place fi nish-es to accompany 16 indoor and outdoor titles. With the ex-ception of the 2003 seasons, Milwaukee has not fi nished below second since 1995.

The Panther women, meanwhile, have fi nished fi rst or second in all eight seasons of the Horizon League’s indoor meet and have fi nished below second at either meet just once (third at 2002 outdoor) since 1996.

In sweeping the 2005 men’s championships, the Panthers set league records at both meets for points and margin of victory. Indoors, UWM fi nished with 197 points, 109 better than second place (88). It then did itself one better at the outdoor meet, scor-ing 231 points, 120 points over the runner up (111).

Meanwhile, the women posted second-place fi nishes at both meets. The Panther women have fi nished fi rst or second in all eight seasons of the Horizon League’s indoor meet and have fi nished below second at either meet just once (third at 2002 outdoor) since 1996.

In 2001, UWM became the fi rst school in league history to win all four league crowns.

Corfeld works primarily with the middle distance and distance groups in addition to the cross country squads. UWM has had one of the nation’s top 4x800m relays. In 2005, the quartet was ranked 10th in the nation with its school-record time of 7:26.17.

Individually, Angie Huebner was named the 2005 Horizon League Track Newcomer of the Year at the outdoor league meet and won the 2006 league indoor 5000m title. Jeremy Majors has qualifi ed for the NCAA Regionals in the 800m in each of the last two years.

Corfeld’s cross country program has produced 44 all-league performers since the Panthers entered a conference for the 1992 season. He has also coached two individual champions and two Newcomer of the Year honorees.

In the fall, the Milwaukee women had three runners earn all-

league honors for the fi rst time in school history.

Despite not winning a cross country championship since leaving the Mid-Continent Conference, UWM has continually performed in the upper half of the league standings. After winning a women’s crown in 1992 and both the men’s and women’s championships in 1993, Milwaukee has boasted a pair of men’s league individual champions while rarely fi nish-ing below fourth.

Corfeld, the longest tenured coach currently at UWM, has built well-respected track and fi eld and cross country teams that consistently compete with other schools across the league, region and country.

Under his direction, four different student-athletes have quali-fi ed for the NCAA Championships, with Tim Kenney, Cory Pe-terson and Angie Molter all competing at the NCAA Track and Field Championships, while Chad Zehms was a qualifi er in the NCAA Cross Country Championships in 1995. Peterson would later make two more appearances in the NCAA Championships, along with qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Trials in the 800m run in 1996 and placing third in the 800m at the USATF Indoor Championships. Molter was the fi rst UWM female to compete in the NCAA Championships, running the 10,000m in 1996.

Also, last year Josh Nygren earned the Horizon League’s pres-tigious Coleman Medal of Honor. He is the program’s third re-cipient of the honor after Paul McGinley in 2000 and Jonathon Manke in 2002.

Corfeld’s coaching career began in 1983, when he was the head track and fi eld coach at Milwaukee Area Technical College. At MATC, he was named Region XIII and conference coach of the year three times. Corfeld graduated from UWM in 1986 with a bachelor’s degree in science. He was named assistant coach for sprints, hurdles and relays at the University of Northern Colo-rado, where he also worked on a master’s degree. In 1989, after completing his degree, he was named the head cross country and track and fi eld coach at UWM. Since taking over the Panther track program, Corfeld has helped to elevate UWM to a regional and national program.

Corfeld and his wife, Linda, reside in Whitefi sh Bay, Wis.

Jason Francis enters his third season as an assistant track and fi eld coach at UWM. Francis works with the sprints, hurdles, high jump, pole vault and multi-events.

“We are pleased to have Jason in our program,” Corfeld said. “He is a track guy, so he really knows his stuff. With his multi-event background, he has knowledge in all areas of track and fi eld, especially the pole vault.”

Last season, Milwaukee won 19 league men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor league titles over his events. Joy VanLaanen also cleared an NCAA Provisional height in the pole vault and reset the school record in the event by almost 10 inches. Jenni Saarinen broke both of the Panthers’ multi-event records and was league fi eld newcomer of the year both indoors and outdoors.

In his fi rst season with UWM, the team broke fi ve league re-cords and seven school marks during the 2005 season.

A 2001 graduate of Indiana State University, Francis spent the 2003-04 season as a vol-unteer assistant pole vault coach at Lewis University in Romeoville, Ill.

In his only season with the Flyers, Francis produced both the indoor and outdoor Divi-sion II National Champion and two more All-Americans in the event at both meets. He

joined the Lewis staff upon completion of his masters degree in exercise science from Indiana State in 2003. In 2002-03 Francis volunteered with the Sycamore track team, coaching fi ve ath-letes to top-six fi nishes at the league meet in the pole vault.

Francis’ affi liation with Indiana State began as a student-athlete, as he competed in the pole vault and decathlon. Four times he was named to the all-conference team, including in 2001, when he won the outdoor conference championship in the decathlon. A Downers Grove, Ill., native, Francis began at DuPage Junior College after a standout prep career at Downers Grove North High School.

Francis is USATF Level II certifi ed in jumping events, sprints, hurdles, relays and combined events.

Stefan Rüdiger is in his fourth season as an assistant coach for the UWM track and fi eld team. Rüdiger works with the Panther throwers, as well as the triple and long jumpers.

“Stefan has brought an extensive knowledge of track and fi eld to our program,” Corfeld said. “His under-standing of the sport continues to enhance our throws and jumps. He has also enhanced the level of expec-tations for UWM athletes.”

In three years with the Milwaukee program, Rüdiger has coached 19 in-dividual league champions and three regional qualifi ers over the jumping and throwing events. Last season, Milwaukee claimed titles in seven jumping and throwing events, including the outdoor men’s long and triple jumps, where UWM occupied fi ve of the six scoring places at the league meet.

Jenni Saarinen also broke the school outdoor long jump record and was one of three freshmen to crack the school’s top-10 in the outdoor triple jump.

Throwers Nick Gretz (shot put/discus) and Nick Wichert (ham-mer) each competed at the 2005 NCAA Mideast Regional, fol-lowing Nick Davis, who competed in the high jump in 2004. In addition, he has coached two league performers of the meet and seven newcomers of the year.

Rüdiger came to the United States from Germany, where he was a three-year member of the German National Team in the javelin.

The fourth-year collegiate coach has also coached four years of high school competi-tion in his home country and most recently was in training to be a part of the German bobsled team to compete in the Olympics.

As a student at the University of Potsdam, Rüdiger worked with javelin world-record holder Uwe Hohn and Frank Moller, a competitor on the 4x400m Olym-pic relay at the 1988 Seoul games.

Rüdiger was a part of Germany’s four-man team that placed second in the German Junior Championships in 2002 and 2003 for the bobsled. He was also a part of the four-man team that placed second at the World Junior Championships in 2003.

He received his masters degree in economics from UWM in 2004 and is currently working towards his Ph.D.

Jeremiah Snyder joins the UWM coaching staff as a volunteer assistant after a standout career that wrapped up last season.

A native of Germantown, Wis., Snyder lettered all four years for the Panthers. He competed primarily in the pole vault and won two league champion-ships in the event, including the 2006 indoor crown. Snyder also earned all-league second team honors twice, fi nishing as runner up both indoors and outdoors in 2005.

Snyder holds the distinction of being one of just two Milwau-kee athletes to clear 15-7 in the pole vault both indoors and outdoors. That height has him tied for second in school history outdoors and third indoors.

Snyder will likely complete his undergraduate degree from UWM in art education in May.

1st YearJeremiah SnyderVolunteer Assistant • UW-Milwaukee

Nate Weiland joined the Panther coaching staff this season as a volunteer assistant after four years as a member of Milwaukee’s distance and cross country corps.

In his career, Weiland established himself as a consistent performer, earning all-league second team hon-ors in cross country during his fi nal two seasons. As a senior, he took 38th at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional, the third-best regional fi nish in team history, second only to UWM Hall of Famer Chad Zehms.

On the track, the Waunakee, Wis., native is among the school’s all-time leaders in the indoor 3000m and 5000m and the out-

door 10,000m. His 10k time of 30:57.60 is fourth in school history.

Weiland ran a time of 2:32:17 at the Dallas White Rock Marathon in December. He will attempt to qualify for November’s Olympic Trials at Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth, Minn., in June.

An exercise and fi tness major, Weiland is expected to gradu-ate in May.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwau-kee men’s track and fi eld team has es-tablished itself as the top team in the league with its recent stretch of league titles and its history of success on the league level.

Milwaukee’s men have swept the Hori-zon League’s indoor and outdoor cham-pionships in each of the last three sea-sons. Prior to that, the group won every league crown from 1998-2001.

In all, the Panthers have taken fi rst at 16 of the last 20 league meets, a trend that head coach Pete Corfeld expects to con-tinue.

UWM lost just a handful of athletes to graduation, including Josh Nygren and Nate Weiland in the distance, Gabe Wag-oner and Elliot Enright, half of the team’s dominant 800m corps, and two of the top pole vaulters in the league in Dan Schultz and Jeremiah Snyder.

As daunting a task as that sounds, Cor-feld’s cupboard remains stocked with proven talent. Returning are sprinter Trentin Edwards, throwers Nick Wichert and Nick Gretz, Justin Bohler and Adam Schleis in the hurdles and an assortment of fi eld events, jumper Darren Cole and Jeremy Majors, a two-time regional qual-ifi er in the 800m, just to name a few.

SprintsEdwards paces the sprints category and enters his senior season as the two-time defending league champion outdoors in both the 100m and 200m. He also has an indoor 200m title under his belt and was named the league track newcomer of the year indoors and outdoors as a sophomore and the outstanding track performer outdoors last season.

Junior Lynn Koepke and newcomers Isaiah Adams and Patrick Casey will add depth around Edwards in the sprint events. Adams attended UWM last sea-son but did not compete. As a junior at nearby Greendale High School, he was second in the 100m, 200m and 400m

at the state meet. Casey is a sophomore transfer from UW-Whitewater, which fi nished third at the Division III Outdoor National Championships last season.

Middle Distance/DistanceSenior Jeremy Majors headlines the Pan-thers’ middle distance group which has put a runner atop the 800m at the last three league indoor meets and the last two meets outdoors. Majors has won the last two outdoor championships in the event and qualifi ed for the NCAA Re-gionals in the event each of those years.

Senior Justin Gorman also returns with an indoor 800m title on his resume and plenty of experience and success in the middle distance events.

In the longer events, junior Nick Hawley is coming off a breakout cross country campaign in the fall and could lead the corps this season. He was an all-league second team honoree when he took 10th at the league cross country meet and was the top Panther runner at four of the fi ve meets of the season.

Two more cross country runners that could be factors for UWM this season are freshmen Malachi Cate and Ryan Mleziva. Cate took fi rst at his fi rst colle-giate race in the fall and was among the team’s top three runners the rest of the season. Mleziva was the team’s fourth runner for much of the cross country season, as he scored at all four meets he competed.

Hurdles/Multi-EventsMilwaukee returns two of the league’s top hurdlers in the aforementioned Schleis and Bohler. The pair were neck and neck much of last season, posting season-best sprint hurdle times that were second and third in school history and separated by just hundredths of a second.

Schleis won the 110m hurdles outdoors as a freshman in 2006, while Bohler was right behind him in second and won the 400m hurdles. Both athletes fi gure

to pop up prominently in various fi eld events, as both added league titles last season in non-hurdle events.

Freshman Tyler Bucholz will look to add depth as a rookie after a storied prep ca-reer in Minnesota. At Robbinsdale Coo-per High School he was ranked second in the state in three events and third in another. He also won a state title with the 4x400m relay, demonstrating that he could possibly join Bohler in the lon-ger hurdle events.

Bohler and Bucholz will likely form the Panthers’ multi-event group.

Bohler won the league heptathlon event at the indoor meet last season, but elect-ed not to compete in the decathlon out-doors. Instead, he scored in fi ve different events, including a 400m hurdle title and second-place fi nishes in the 110m hurdles, high jump and long jump.

This season, the league’s multi-events will be held a week before the league championships, so it is possible that Bohler could compete in the decathlon and an assortment of other events.

Long Jump/Triple JumpThe Panthers’ strongest area last season had to have been the horizontal jumps, where they took fi ve of the six scoring places at the league’s outdoor champi-onships in both events. Schleis and Cole lead the group, while sophomore Josh Zill was steady last season.

Schleis found more success in the long jump, where he took second indoors and placed fi rst outdoors. Meanwhile, Cole was the opposite in the triple jump, taking second to departed senior team-mate Sean Cludy outdoors and winning the event indoors. Schleis and Cole each scored in both the long and triple jumps both indoors and outdoors.

Zill also placed third, both indoors and outdoors, in the triple jump and added a fi fth-place fi nish in the outdoor long jump.

High Jump/Pole VaultThe pole vault area was hit the hardest by graduation, as Schultz and Snyder were among the top three in school his-tory in the event. The pair accounted for four league titles in their UWM careers.

Sophomores Sean Jaehnig and Adam Podd do return with a year of competi-tion under their belts. Jaehnig took third at the league indoor meet last season and fourth outdoors.

Cole has been one of the team’s more consistent performers in the high jump, winning an indoor league title last sea-son. This season he will have help in the form of freshman Quinn Mongoven. Mongoven was a four-time conference champion at Wilmot Union High School

and earned all-state honors twice.

ThrowsCorfeld and his staff return one of the most seasoned throwing groups the league has seen in recent years. Heading that list are seniors Gretz and Wichert. Gretz is one of the most decorated throwers in school history, winning four league championships and taking sec-ond fi ve times in his career. He was also the league fi eld performer of the meet both indoors and outdoors and qualifi ed for regionals as a sophomore in 2005.

Wichert is the school record holder in the hammer throw and joined Gretz at the regionals in his last active outdoor season. The 2005 hammer throw cham-pion, he redshirted the 2006 outdoor

season and, combined with an indoor redshirt as a freshman, he has one year of competition remaining.

Junior Larry Ehrhorn also returns, while freshman Shane Teigen joins the group after a standout career at Gretz’s prep alma mater—Two Rivers High School. Ehrhorn has consistently scored for UWM throughout his fi rst two seasons and has been named all-league once, earning second-team honors indoors in the shot put as a freshman.

Teigen competed just one season in high school, but won conference titles and competed at state in the discus and shot put. He placed third in the discus at the state meet and broke Gretz’s school record in the event.


Since 1997, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women’s track and fi eld pro-gram has fi nished below second place at a Horizon League championship meet just once, winning eight league titles and taking second 10 times.

Last season, the Panthers got a taste of a championship, winning indoors, and en-ter 2007 looking to add to their already impressive list of accomplishments.

Head coach Pete Corfeld has a load of talent, experience and youth returning this season, while dealing with the loss of a few key athletes.

Tenia Fisher, Katie Slamka and Stepha-nie Ray and their combined 13 career league titles have graduated. Fisher was a four-time Horizon League Athlete of the Year, while Slamka routinely com-peted in a variety of events and won a league heptathlon title. Ray established herself as one of the top pole vaulters in the league and school history.

But, senior Timeka Walker, junior Joy Van-Laanen and sophomores Jenni Saarinen and Beth Zimmerman are among those returning with their sights set on adding to the UWM trophy case. Each were all high point-scorers at league meets last season and they all fi gure prominently in the school’s top 10 lists in their events. The group also accounted for seven league titles last season and another three all-league second-team awards.

SprintsWalker enters her senior campaign as the school record-holder in three of the program’s four main sprint catego-ries, sitting fi rst in the indoor 60m and 200m and outdoor 200m but second in the outdoor 100m. She also won three league titles last season, bringing her career total to fi ve.

Junior Shannon Buttchen returns with Walker in the sprint events, while fresh-men Kelsey Conrad and Stef Ross will join the fray as well. Conrad took second in the 200m and 400m at the Minne-

sota state meet as a senior and added a third-place showing in the 100m. Ross redshirted last season after winning a state 100m championship for Bradley Tech High School in Milwaukee.

Middle Distance/DistanceThe Panther distance corps is looking good after a standout cross country sea-son where a school-record three runners earned all-league honors. Sophomore Holly Nearman led the group with a seventh-place fi nish and fi rst team ac-colades. After redshirting 2005, her fi rst track season was highlighted by a third-place showing in the 10,000m at the league’s outdoor meet.

Junior Angie Huebner, who took 12th, and senior Kourtney Nault, who was 13th, earned second team honors in cross country. Huebner returned from an injury to regain her form and fi nish as the team’s second runner at the end of the season. She won the indoor 5000m last season and has scored in every dis-tance event over her fi rst two seasons. Nault has emerged as a strong threat in the distance events, taking fi fth in the indoor 5000m last season.

Junior Erin Magargee nearly joined the group in cross country all-league hon-ors, taking 15th to miss the second team by one place. Magargee has consistently gotten better, scoring at every meet in the fall and fi nishing among UWM’s top 3 three times.

With the loss of Fisher and Griffi n Mc-Nulty to graduation, the middle dis-tance was hit hard. But, Corfeld plans to develop new talent in that area. Fresh-man Laura Ring, coming off her fi rst cross country season, could compete in the shorter distance events for Milwau-kee. Ring has 800m experience, holding the Wilmot Union High School record and competing at the state meet in the event.

HurdlesThe hurdles are the fi rst of four areas where Saarinen is expected to be a fac-

tor. But, in the case of the hurdles, the incumbent is senior Taryn Cozine, who enjoyed her best season in 2006. She ran the seventh-best 100m hurdle time in school history and took third in the 400m hurdles at the league outdoor meet. Saarinen competed in the 100m hurdles at the outdoor meet and tied Cozine’s 100m hurdle time.

Senior Andrea Ziebell also returns, while Rasheedah Helm joins the group after an impressive prep career. She won state titles in her last two years in the 100m hurdles, holds her school’s record in the event and competed at the state meet in a handful of other sprint and relay events.

Multi-EventsSaarinen set Milwaukee records in both its indoor and outdoor multi-events. She scored 3459 points in winning a league title in the pentathlon indoors, then scored 4993 points at the Drake Relays in the heptathlon. At the outdoor meet, she did not compete in the heptathlon, but rather scored in all fi ve events she entered, including a school-record long jump of 19-9 ½ to win the long jump and a second-place fi nish in the javelin.

This season, the league’s multi-events will be held a week before the league championships, so it is possible that Saa-rinen could compete in the heptathlon and an assortment of other events.

Sophomore Kory Olson also returns in the multi-events after taking fi fth in the pentathlon at the league indoor meet last season. She also competed in the triple jump, taking fi fth, and the long jump. Outdoors, however, she suffered an injury during the multi’s at the league meet and took seventh. At full health this season, she could lend depth to the multi-events and more.

Long Jump/Triple JumpThe Panthers have cornered the market in the league’s long jump competition, winning 17 of the last 21 long jump championships. VanLaanen and Saa-

rinen split titles last season, with Van-Laanen taking top honors indoors and Saarinen outdoors. VanLaanen is com-ing off an injury that cost her the 2006 outdoor season and may redshirt this indoor season, as well.

Zimmerman posted the second-best triple jumps, indoors and outdoors, in school history last season and took sec-ond at both league meets. She teamed with classmate Kicha Cary to give UWM a solid one-two punch in the event. Cary also fi nish among the school’s top 10 in each event and fi nished fourth at both league meets.

Freshman Reigna Pierce was a three-time state qualifi er in the triple jump at Racine Horlick High School and could continue UWM’s recent success with un-derclass jumpers. As a senior at Horlick,

she was second in the state.

High Jump/Pole VaultVanLaanen headlined the pole vault for Milwaukee last season when she met the NCAA Provisional height of 12-11 1/2 and broke the school record by al-most 10 inches. She went on to win the league pole vault crown before suffering an injury at a last chance qualifi er.

Sophomore Jes Weyandt and freshman Erin Havener are a pair of young pole vaulters who won state titles in the pole vault as seniors in high school after sec-ond-place fi nishes as juniors. Weyandt cleared a career-best 11-5 3/4 outdoors last season and placed fourth at the league meet.

Saarinen placed third in the high jump at both league meets, while also posting

the fi fth-best indoor and second-best outdoor heights in school history. Her indoor jump actually came during the pentathlon, while her outdoor leap was during the heptathlon at Drake.

ThrowsWith the addition of two throwers, the Panther women could be their deepest in this area in a while. Freshmen Jamie Woods and Ashley Zander join the pro-gram that has not competed a female thrower outside of the javelin at a league meet since the 2003 outdoor meet.

Woods competed at state fi ve times over the shot put and discus events, taking seventh in the shot put as a senior. Zan-der, meanwhile, holds school records in both the shot and discus events at Bon-duel High School in northeast Wiscon-sin.
