PANTHER COACHES
Head Coach Pete Corfeld
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.

SEASON PREVIEW
2007 Men’s Outlook
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.
Sprints
Edwards 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/Distance
Senior 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-Events
Milwaukee 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 Jump
The 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 Vault
The 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.
Throws
Corfeld 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.

2007 Milwaukee Track & Field Media Guide
2007 Milwaukee Track & Field Media Guide www.uwmpanthers.com
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.
Sprints
Walker 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/Distance
The 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.
Hurdles
The 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-Events
Saarinen 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 Jump
The Panthers have cornered the market
in the league’s long jump competition,
winning 17 of the last 21 long jump
championships. VanLaanen and Saa-
Panthers Have Championship Fever After 2006 Indoor Title
Milwaukee has nished second-or-better 18 of last 19 league meets, looking for titles 9 and 10

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 Vault
VanLaanen 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.
Throws
With 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.

Wisconsin Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference
Like a majority of the schools in the
University of Wisconsin System, UW-
Milwaukee spent time in the Wiscon-
sin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
(WIAC).
The University began competition in
the Wisconsin Normal Conference in
1913, with records indicating the men’s
team had won the inaugural track &
fi eld championships in 1915.
The conference, as well as member in-
stitutions underwent multiple name
changes, eventually becoming the
Wisconsin State University Conference
(WSUC). UWM left the WSUC in 1964.
Records indicate the Milwaukee wom-
en competed in the Women’s WIAC
(WWIAC) from 1976 until 1984. The
conference instituted an indoor league
meet beginning in 1977.
In 1997, the WSUC and WWIAC merged
to form the co-ed WIAC.
Men’s WSUC Championships
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
is on record as having won 33 WSUC
Outdoor Championships in the 46 years
between 1915 and 1964. The Green
Gulls, as was the school’s nickname from
1927-56, won 26-straight titles from
1928-53. There were no championship
meets for four years during World War II
from 1943-46.

Chancellor Carlos Santiago
Carlos E. Santiago is the seventh Chancellor of the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee. In this position, he is the chief administra-
tive offi cer of the university, and a partner with a great number of
constituents on and off campus.
Chancellor Santiago also holds the academic rank of Professor of
Economics at UWM. As a labor economist, he has regional expertise
in the Caribbean and Central America,
with special emphasis on Puerto Rico.
His research interests include labor
market issues, problems of structural
adjustment and debt, and labor mi-
gration to the United States. He has
received grants and fellowships from a
variety of organizations including the
Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Founda-
tion, Fulbright Association, National
Science Foundation, and Russell Sage
Foundation.
He formerly held the position of Provost and Vice President for
Academic Affairs at the University at Albany, State University of
New York and functioned as the Chief Operating Offi cer of the
campus. He also formerly held the post of Associate Provost and
Dean of Graduate Studies. He served as Associate Director of the
Center for Latino, Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CELAC),
and was Chair of the University Faculty Senate at the University at
Albany for the academic year 1996-1997.
With the University at Albany, Provost Santiago was a member of
its National Collegiate Athletic Association Certifi cation Steering
Committee, worked closely with the athletics department on aca-
demics- and admissions-related issues, and was involved with the
New York Giants annual National Football League summer training
camp held at the University at Albany.
“Universities must focus on creating the scholar-athlete,” Chancel-
lor Santiago said. “Winning is nice, but fi rst and foremost you have
to focus on the academics. UWM clearly has that mindset, as shown
by last year’s outstanding performance both in the classroom and
on the playing fi eld. I will be a strong supporter of this unbeatable
approach to academics and athletics.”
Dr. Santiago is the author or co-author of fi ve books focusing on
Puerto Rican society and economy, with the latest being the forth-
coming “Puerto Ricans in the United States: The Development of a
Commuter Nation,” co-authored with Edna Acosta-Belén. He has
co-edited another book and has published more than 30 articles
and book reviews in a wide variety of scholarly journals. Along with
Dr. Acosta-Belén, Dr. Santiago also is a founding co-editor of the
Latino Research Review and is a member of the U.S. Congressional
Hispanic Caucus International Relations Advisory Group.
Dr. Santiago’s wife, Azara Santiago-Rivera, has also joined the faculty
at UWM. She is an associate professor of educational psychology
in the School of Education.
Chancellor Santiago has a Ph.D. in economics from Cornell Univer-
sity (1982) and M.A. degrees in economics from Cornell University
(1979) and the University of Puerto Rico (1975).
Like most other boys growing up in Puerto Rico, Dr. Santiago played
baseball year-round and aspired to follow national heroes Roberto
Clemente and Orlando Cepeda to Major League Baseball. Dr. San-
tiago played third base throughout high school and earned a place
on his division’s all-star team. In recent years, his sporting interests
have included golf, tennis, downhill skiing, walking and jogging. He
also helped coach softball teams for his daughters.

Milwaukee, The Genuine American City, is steeped in tradition
and history, alive in growth and development. From the spar-
kling clean water of Lake Michigan, to the rich heritage of our
ethnic neighborhoods, Milwaukee invites you to discover its
unique, diverse community.
Heralded as “The City of Festivals,” Milwaukee hosts more than
15 annual festivals, including the world’s largest music festival,
Summerfest, and over a dozen ethnic festivals all held along
Milwaukee’s spectacular lakefront.
The RiverWalk, which meanders through the heart of down-
town, recently received a $13 million facelift, and development
continues to the north and south. Fine food, cultural venues,
eclectic shops, exciting nightlife and a wide array of distinctive
sports bars are located along the RiverWalk. Also prevalent
along the RiverWalk are many brewpubs and microbreweries.
Gondolas and water taxies frequently travel Milwaukee’s sce-
nic RiverWalk area.
The Historic Third Ward is quickly becoming the “off-Broadway”
of Milwaukee’s arts scene. It is home to the new Broadway The-
atre Center as well as another, smaller, experimental theatre. In
addition, this restored warehouse district features a number
of art galleries, the well-regarded Milwaukee Institute of Art
and Design, coffee houses, cafes, and antique stores. An abun-
dance of new housing in the form of loft-style apartments and
condominiums are also becoming a part of the landscape in
the Historic Third Ward.
Milwaukee’s museum scene is also active. The Milwaukee Art
Museum has wrapped up a $100 million expansion featuring
a dramatic wing-like sculpture rising high above Milwaukee’s
lakefront. The Milwaukee Public Museum is in the midst of a
$6.5 million project establishing a permanent interpretation
of “Butterfl ies Alive!,” the museum’s most successful exhibit
ever. The Milwaukee County Zoo is well-known as one of the
fi nest in the nation.

Milwaukee also loves its sports. The city put its stamp on Major
League Baseball with the arrival of Miller Park in the spring of
2001. The $400 million, one-of-a-kind ballpark features a con-
vertible roof and natural grass. Offering the fi nest in ballpark
amenities, Miller Park is a park within a park - that is, it includes
places to tailgate along the Menomonee River, a sports-
themed restaurant, and an elegantly fi nished restaurant, the
.300 Club. Miller Park also played host the Major League All-
Star Game in 2002.
Two of the city’s other professional sports teams, including the
NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks, play at the downtown Bradley Center.
In addition, the U.S. Cellular Arena downtown is now the home
of the UWM men’s basketball team, as well as the Milwaukee
Wave of the Major Indoor Soccer League. The arena has under-
gone major renovations and also hosts a number of concerts
and other special events.
The Milwaukee Mile, an auto racing track located at State Fair
Park, is home to a NASCAR Busch Series and an Indy Racing
League event, added just this year. Plus, the sports landscape
also includes an annual PGA event and one of the best county
park systems in the nation.
Milwaukee is also a tourist and business destination for travel-
ers around the state and nation. The Midwest Express Center
downtown serves as the city’s main convention center, and
draws groups from around the world to host their annual ac-
tivities in Milwaukee.
Milwaukee is also easy to get to, located at the intersections
of interstates 94 and 43. Milwaukee’s General Mitchell Inter-
national Airport has nearly 20 airlines and over 500 daily de-
partures and arrivals, and Amtrak runs daily non-stop trains to
Chicago.

Director of Athletics Bud Haidet
Athletics has been a way of life for UWM Director of Athletics
Bud Haidet, and Haidet is busy making success a way of life for
the UWM Athletics Department.
In fact, the department has experienced unprecedented suc-
cess on and off the playing surface under Haidet. This past year,
UWM won the McCafferty Trophy, the
Horizon League’s All-Sports Trophy, for
the fourth time in six years. UWM won
10 league titles and claimed a third-
straight regular season league title in
men’s basketball. UWM has also won
the women’s all-sports award in fi ve
of the last six years and the men’s all-
sports award for two-straight years.
The biggest highlight of last year came
after the Horizon League basketball
season was completed. The Panther men again made their
mark in the NCAA Tournament, beating Big 12 power Oklahoma
before falling to eventual national champion Florida. At the
same time, the Panther women were battling with Michigan
State in the NCAA Tournament, only to fall in the contest. Those
basketball accomplishments came on the heels of a 2005 post-
season run that saw the Panther men advance to the Sweet 16
and garner national recognition.
Basketball is far from the only sport where UWM has ex-
perienced tremendous success. In fact, both the men’s and
women’s soccer teams advanced to the second round of the
NCAA Tournament this past year. The men knocked off Bradley
before falling in overtime to national runner-up New Mexico,
while the women beat Purdue before falling to Marquette on
a last-second goal.
The success at UWM actually started long ago. UWM fi nished
second in the McCafferty Trophy standings during the 1997-98
school year and during the 1999-2000 school year. In fact, fol-
lowing the 1999-2000 season, UWM fi nished just one point out
of fi rst place and won the MCC men’s all-sports championship.
The Panthers then won the league’s all-sports trophy for the
fi rst time after the 2000-01 season, and then won it again after
the 2003-04 campaign.
Many of UWM’s teams have also gained national recognition
under Haidet. The great success of the men’s basketball team
also includes an NCAA berth in 2003 and a National Invitation
Tournament appearance in 2004. The men’s soccer team has
qualifi ed for the fi ve of the last sixNCAA Tournaments and has
been ranked as high as eighth in the nation. The women’s vol-
leyball team has qualifi ed for six of the last nine NCAA Tourna-
ments while women’s soccer has made four NCAA Tournament
trips since 2001 and advanced to the second round in each of
the last two seasons. The women’s basketball team also made
the NCAA Tournament in 2001 and baseball has been a regular
in the NCAA Tournament.
UWM has also earned the reputation for hosting successful
Horizon League Championships. The men’s basketball tourna-
ment has regularly set attendance records in Milwaukee while
tournaments for women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer
and women’s volleyball have all drawn accolades.
In the classroom, 67 UWM student-athletes were named to
the Academic Honor Roll this past spring, the highest number
in the league. Numerous Panthers have also won league and
national academic awards. And, the current cumulative grade
point average of all student-athletes is above 3.0.
Haidet has also directed an upgrade in facilities for all of UWM
athletics. The recently-completed Klotsche Center renovation
- the Pavilion - has vastly improve the offi ce and training space
for the athletic department. Haidet has also led the extremely
successful move by the men’s basketball team to the U.S. Cel-
lular Arena in downtown Milwaukee and shown the way for
improvements at Henry Aaron Field and Engelmann Field, which
had lights installed prior to the 2006 soccer seasons.
Over Haidet’s tenure, athletics at UWM has moved from NAIA
Division II to NCAA Division I status, and from independent
status to membership in two athletic conferences, raising the
bar of competition each time. Haidet notes that the strong com-
mitment to athletics by the institution and student association
has greatly contributed to the rapid and successful growth of
the program. He also feels past student-athletes, coaches and
administrators helped set in motion the success UWM enjoys.
Haidet is active in numerous NCAA activities. He has completed
Level I-III NCAA Athletics Management courses and was a
member of two NCAA Division I Peer Review Certifi cation teams
and two NCAA committees. He is was recently the chair of the
Horizon League’s Executive Council and is active in all of the
league’s activities.
Prior to coming to UWM, Haidet was an athletics administrator
at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where he earned both his
bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Last fall, he was inducted into
the Miami Athletics Hall of Fame. A former captain in the marine
corps, Haidet enjoys weight training, hiking and fi shing, and
spending time with his wife, Beth, stepson, Drew, four children
and 13 grandchildren.

THIS IS UWM
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
has moved itself into a prominent posi-
tion both regionally and nationally in the
world of intercollegiate athletics.
For the fourth time in the last six years,
UWM found itself on top of the Horizon
League when the 2005-06 school year
ended. The Panthers claimed the league’s
McCafferty Trophy, given to the top ath-
letic program in the league. UWM also
won the award in 2000-01, 2003-04 and
2004-05, and has won fi ve of the last six
women’s all-sports awards along with the
last two men’s sports awards.
UWM earned the McCafferty Trophy
thanks to another great year by a number
of teams during the 2005-06 seasons.
UWM’s fall sports squads of men’s soccer,
women’s soccer and women’s volleyball
all won Horizon League titles while the
men’s and women’s soccer teams ad-
vanced to the second round of the NCAA
Tournament. It was the fifth-straight
appearance in the second round for the
men, while the women beat Purdue in a
penalty kick shootout to advance to the
second round for the fi rst time ever.
Then last winter, UWM’s men’s basketball
team won its third-straight regular season
Horizon League title, won the league
tournament and advanced to the second
round of the NCAA Tournament. The ap-
pearance in the tourney was the third in
four years for the men, who have now
won three NCAA Tournament games over
the past two seasons. One year removed
from a run to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA
Tournament, the Panthers knocked off
Oklahoma in the fi rst round before falling
to eventual national champion Florida.
The Panther women’s basketball team
also won the league and advanced to
the NCAA Tournament, while the men’s
track and fi eld team won both indoor and
outdoor league crowns and the Panther
women won an indoor league title.
Good things have been happening in
UWM athletics for some time. In the
2002-03 season, UWM won fi ve league
titles and sent four teams to NCAA Tour-
mament play. The Panther men’s soccer
team was ranked as high as eighth in the
nation and the men’s basketball team
made its fi rst NCAA Tournament appear-
ance. UWM’s fi rst McCafferty Trophy came
after the Panthers won nine league titles
in the 2000-01 school year.
UWM student-athletes have also become
known for their work in the classroom.
This past spring, 67 student-athletes were
named to the Horizon League Academic
Honor Roll. UWM student-athletes also
regularly appear on the league’s aca-
demic all-league teams and the cumula-
tive grade-point average for the athletic
department consistently is above 3.0.
Quality facilities are also a part of the ath-
letic scene at UWM. The new Pavilion, an
addition to the Klotsche Center, opened
in January of 2006 and now houses all

of the athletics offi ces, as well as new
locker rooms, team rooms, training
rooms, weight rooms and an academic
center. The facility, which also includes
a tremendous amount of space for the
general student population, rates as one
of the best athletic offi ce and workout
facilities in the Horizon League.
The project also included a renovation of
the 5,000-seat Klotsche Center, which is
home to the women’s volleyball, women’s
basketball and track and fi eld teams. The
facility now has air conditioning and a
new sound system, as well as two new
concession stands. Plus, with it standing
adjacent to the new Pavilion, fans at-
tending events can park in the Pavilion’s
new parking garage and attend events
without ever stepping outside. The swim-
ming and diving teams have their own
pool in the Klotsche Center, located on
the lower level.
UWM’s men’s basketball team has played
at the U.S. Cellular Arena in downtown
Milwaukee since the 2003 Horizon
League Tournament. The move down-
town has been a successful one, with
attendance records set each season
the Panthers have played in the historic
building.
Meanwhile, UWM’s other recent facility
improvements have come at the soccer
and baseball fi elds. On-campus Engel-
mann Field, home of the Panther soccer
teams, is reknowned to be one of the best
collegiate soccer facilities in the country.
Lights have been added to the fi eld this
summer, and a new team room has also
been developed. The Panther baseball
team plays at Henry Aaron Field, while
occassionally getting the chance to play
at Miller Park. Extensive work on the fi eld,
fencing and dugouts has been completed
over the last few years, with plans for ad-
ditional renovations on the table.
Athletics has a long history at UWM.
Some sports records date back to the late
1800’s and UWM fi elded a football team
until 1974. UWM has played on all levels
of NCAA competition, including stints as
a Division II and Division III institution
along with its current run in Division I.
UWM athletics also spent some years in
NAIA competition. The school’s athletic
teams have also competed in the Wis-
consin state school league for a number
of years, while competing in the Mid-
Continent Conference and Midwestern
Collegiate Conference/Horizon League
since moving to Division I.
UWM has 15 varsity athletic teams and
offers its prospective student-athletes
aid in the form of athletic scholarships.
Full and partial scholarships are available
in all 15 varsity sports. Full scholarships
include the cost of room and board, in
addition to tuition and books. Scholar-
ships are based on athletic ability and
academic success.

Director of Sports Medicine John Ochsenwald oversees the
sports medicine department. Ochsenwald, who assumed his du-
ties in July 1992, supervises assistant trainers and student train-
ers in all sports, and serves as staff
athletic trainer for the men’s soccer
and men’s and women’s swimming
programs. He is also a clinical assistant
professor and teacher in the Athletic
Training Education Program.
Ochsenwald came to UWM from the
University of Illinois, where he was
an assistant athletic trainer for 10
years. At Illinois, Ochsenwald worked
primarily with the football, baseball and wrestling teams.
A 1980 graduate of The Ohio State University, Ochsenwald
received his master’s degree from Illinois in 1982. He worked
at Illinois as a graduate assistant athletic trainer before assum-
ing a full-time position there. Ochsenwald and his wife, Jan,
have two children, Jenna and Jamie, and make their home in
Cedarburg, Wis.
Athletic Training
The UWM’s Athletic Training Staff is responsible for taking care
of the school’s student-athletes. This licensed and certifi ed
athletic training staff is headed by Director John Ochsenwald.
The entire staff is closely involved in the education of about 30
undergraduate athletic training students, whom, in conjunc-
tion with the Department of Human Movement Sciences, are
working and studying to become certifi ed athletic trainers in
the highly successful and nationally accredited Athletic Train-
ing Education Program, which is spearheaded by curriculum
director Dr. Kyle Ebersole. These undergraduate students assist
the certifi ed athletic training staff in the day-to-day care of the
student-athlete’s sports medicine needs.
The staff includes a select group of sports medicine profession-
als. The Panthers also have access to other specialized profes-
sionals to assist in peak performance.
In addition to teaching the undergraduate athletic training
students, the staff provides care on a daily basis to UWM’s 295
student athletes. Each year the facilities, equipment, supplies
and knowledge are upgraded to progress sports medicine care
to UWM’s student-athletes. The athletic training staff moved
into its new working space in the Pavilion this past January.
The state-of-the-art 5,500-square foot athletic training facility
added a SwimEx hydrotherapy unit to a more recent progressive
equipment addition, an isokinetic testing and strengthening
Biodex unit.

Chuck Serpa serves as UWM’s strength and conditioning coach,
working with all 15 of the school’s varsity sports.
Serpa has spearheaded a number
of positive developments in the
strength and conditioning program,
highlighted by the new dedicated
athletics weight room in the new
Pavilion. The strength training area
features free weights, resistance
machinery and specialized motor-
skill and coordination equipment, all
designed to condition athletes, in-
creasing their strength, power, speed,
endurance and agility.
UWM’s strength and conditioning program also incorporates
plenty of work with athletes to develop and retain natural fl ex-
ibility, jumping skills and reaction times.
Serpa has also implemented the department’s fi rst training
manual that contains nutritional information, along with gen-
eral strength training exercises and sport-specifi c strength
training exercises. He has also brought more structure and or-
ganization to the strength and conditioning area. Finally, Serpa
has instituted a summer training program so student-athletes
can continue their training year-round.

THIS IS UWM
The Student-Athlete
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Athletic Department is
committed to enhancing the opportunities of academic, athletic
and personal success of every student-athlete. As part of UWM’s
commitment, a partnership has been created between the aca-
demic and athletic communities on campus to give all student-
athletes an opportunity to achieve academic success.
UWM has had a full-time athletic academic advisor since
1998, and recently added a second staff member dedicated to
academics, reinforcing its commitment to its student-athletes’
academic success. All new student-athletes meet with their advi-
sor on an individual basis to assess specifi c needs. Programs for
academic advancement are developed, including monitoring
courses, grades and academic progress.
UWM’s commitment has paid off. The Panthers have regularly
had more student-athletes on the Horizon League Honor Roll
than any other league school, and the department’s cumulative
grade-point average is better-than-3.0.
The Academic Assistance Center, located in the new Pavilion,
provides student-athletes with a quiet place to study, as well as
one-on-one tutoring opportunities. The academic center also
houses a full computer lab and numerous tutoring rooms, and
provides a closely-monitored atmosphere for studying and
academic progress.
• Priority Registration - Academic Monitoring
Student-athletes receive priority when registering for classes.
Academic advisors provide ongoing assistance with class sched-
uling and career planning. Progress reports from the professors
of each student-athlete are sought periodically throughout the
year, and academic progress is monitored regularly.
• Tutors
Individuals and group tutors are available in all subjects to
student-athletes upon request. The new Pavilion has private
tutoring and study rooms for student-athletes.
• Structured Study
All freshmen are required to attend study table for eight hours
per week. Students meet Monday through Thursday for two
hours per night and are monitored by a member of the coaching
staff. Upperclassmen with a cumulative grade point average of
less than 3.0 are also required to attend, however their hours
are pro-rated based on their GPA.
• Post-Graduate Opportunities
UWM boasts a 95 percent job placement rate through the
on-campus Career Development Center. Approximately 200
employers interview on-campus each year. Workshops are of-
fered to assist student-athletes in planning their career paths.
Numerous internships and job opportunities are available in
the metro Milwaukee area, the business and economic center
of Wisconsin.
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is a member of the
NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Program. The mission of the NCAA
and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is to maintain
intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of the campus
educational program and the student-athlete as an integral
part of the student body. With this in mind, the UWM pro-
gram, “SUCCESS,” was created to support student-athlete
development and to enhance the quality of the student-
athlete experience within the university setting.
Student-Athletes

Commitment to Excellence
Challenges
Education
Service to Community and
Skills for Life
The life skills program includes fi ve major commitments:
• Commitment to Academic Excellence – to support the aca-
demic progress of the student-athlete toward intellectual
development and graduation.
• Commitment to Athletic Excellence – to build philosophical
foundations for the development of athletic programs that
are broad-based, equitable and dedicated to the well-being
of the student-athlete.
• Commitment to Personal Development – to support the de-
velopment of a well-balanced lifestyle for student-athletes,
encouraging emotional well-being, personal growth and
decision-making skills.
• Commitment to Career Development – to encourage the stu-
dent-athlete to develop and pursue career and life goals.
• Commitment to Service – to engage the student-athlete in
service to his/her campus and surrounding communities.
As participants in the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, numer-
ous UWM student-athletes - including two men’s basketball
players - have been chosen to participate in the NCAA
Foundation Leadership Conference. Kalombo Kadima was
chosen to be a part of the conference in 2000, while Dan
Weisse took part in the conference in 2001. Three women’s
soccer players from UWM - Fanta Cooper in 1999, Erin Blae-
dow in 2000 and Erin Shaugnessy in 2003 - have also taken
part in the conference, as has Chris Dadaian of the men’s
soccer team in 2004.
The NCAA Foundation Leadership Conference is one of
the largest noncompetitive gatherings of student-athletes
representing NCAA Divisions I, II and III. The participating
student-athletes are selected from more than 1,000 nomi-
nations that were submitted by member institutions that
participate in the NCAA’s CHAMPS/Life Skills Program.
Criteria for selection to the leadership conference include
the student-athletes’ demonstrated ability and strong desire
to be a leader and potential to benefi t signifi cantly from a
leadership-development experience.

UWM Lands League-Best 67 On
Academic Honor Roll
Panther student-athletes excel again in classroom
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee placed 67 student-ath-
letes on the Horizon League’s Spring Academic Honor Roll.
That number tied Butler for the most in the league, continuing
a trend of stellar academic performance by UWM atudent-
athletes. For the spring semester, UWM student-athletes again

THIS IS UWM
The Klotsche Center
The J. Martin Klotsche Center is the home
to the majority of Panther athletic teams,
including both track and fi eld teams.
In 2003, UWM played host to the league
indoor championship meet for the sec-
ond time. It had claimed both the men’s
and women’s league titles when the facil-
ity fi rst hosted the meet in 1999.
The Klotsche Center was originally
erected in 1977 and a major addition to
the facility - named The Pavilion - was
completed in early 2006. The $45 million
project added new offi ce space, weight
rooms, locker rooms, team rooms and a
practice and intramural gymnasium with
an upper-level running track. The project
also included renovations to the existing
Klotsche Center, including air condition-
ing, a new sound system and new conces-
sion stands for the arena.
Milwaukee annually hosts a number of
meets at the Klotsche Center, including
the UWM Panther Tune Up during the in-
door regular season. The track teams also
host a handful of developmental meets
each year. These developmental meets,
which are open to all local competitors,
allow a number of Panthers the opportu-
nity to compete before the indoor season
begins in mid-January.
The Klotsche Center is used as a practice
facility for most of UWM’s varsity sports,
and serves as the homecourt for volley-
ball and women’s basketball. A four-lane
indoor track, added in 1996, is home to
the UWM men’s and women’s track and
fi eld teams, and the Klotsche Center pool,
located on the lower level, is home to the
UWM swimming and diving teams.
It also houses training facilities, weight
facilities and more, all within close prox-
imity of the main practice areas.
The Klotsche Center is also home to
UWM’s intramural program and recre-
ation center. It features a 25-meter pool,
racquetball courts, weight rooms, training
rooms and classrooms for instructional
use, along with upstairs office space
and additional storage areas. Renova-
tion work was done recently on many of
these areas.
The arena area was renovated prior to
the 1998-99 school year. The $2 million
project included the addition of comfort
and chairback seating. In 1996, new wood
fl ooring and a new indoor track were add-
ed to the Klotsche Center. The fl oor has
also been renovated with the addition
of the Horizon League logo. The addition
of the new Panther and UWM logos was
completed in the summer of 1999.
The Klotsche Center can hold as many as
5,000 spectators for a sporting event, and
the volleyball capacity is approximately
2,000. Track and fi eld events feature track-
side seating in addition to team areas in
the center of the racing oval. The largest
crowd to ever see a sporting event at the
Klotsche Center is 5,015, present when
the UWM men’s basketball team faced
Butler two seasons ago. The volleyball
attendance record of 1,102 was set in
2006 when the Panthers hosted No. 11
Wisconsin.
UWM’s freshman convocation is annually
held at the Klotsche Center in addition to
other special events. During the summer
of 2001, the Yugoslavian National played
an exhibition here in preparations for the
World Championships where it won the
gold medal. President George W. Bush
also made an appearance at the Klotsche
Center in August of 2002.
The Klotsche Center has been home to a
number of major sporting events, includ-
ing the 2003 and 2006 Horizon League
Women’s Basketball Tournaments, the
2001 league volleyball tournament and
the 2001 WIAA Boys’ and Girls’ Sectional
Basketball Championships.

THIS IS UWM
The Pavilion
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s newest on-campus
building is the Pavilion, which is the home of UWM Athletics.
The Pavilion offi cially opened its doors to the public in January
of 2006, though some work on the structure and the adjacent
grounds continued throughout the year. The building was of-
fi cially dedicated by Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle and UWM
Chancellor Carlos Santiago on May 2, 2006.
Among the new athletics facilities in the building are offi ces
for coaches and staff, a student-athlete-only weight room, new
locker rooms for all teams and team rooms and lounges for
men’s basketball, women’s basketball and women’s volleyball.
UWM student-athletes are also benefi tting from the brand-
new sports medicine center in the Pavilion, which more than
triples the previous space available for UWM’s athletic train-
ers. The facility also includes a 2,800-square-foot academic
assistance center to help student-athletes in the classroom.
The new academic center includes a computer lab along with
group and individual study and tutoring rooms. A 618-space
indoor parking garage is also part of the facility.
“Success leaves clues, and with our entire athletic program
ranking as the most successful in the league year after year,
we now have something that really proves that,” UWM men’s
basketball head coach Rob Jeter said. “The Pavilion is a great
place, not just for our team to train but for our players to have
the academic assistance center and resources right here. Our
athletic training facility is outstanding – it is on par with plac-
es like Wisconsin and Marquette that I have been previously.
The locker rooms, the team rooms, the weight room – this is a
big-time college atmosphere now. It has all the right pieces to
make this an even more successful athletic program.”
UWM’s general student population is also benefi tting tremen-
dously from the new facility. A new fi tness center has expan-
sive rooms for cardio workouts, as well as a weight room. The
state-of-the-art area is the most visible from the outside of the
facility, as it features two levels of windows. The new recreation
center has two expansive levels and houses four sport courts
surrounded by a suspended 1/8 mile track. The facility is uti-
lized by individuals seeking open gym space, run and walk
space on the track, and the University’s intramural programs.
The building also includes academic facilities for the College
of Health Sciences along with accommodations for the new
Physical Therapy and expanded Sports Medicine programs.
The $40 million project, which broke ground in June of 2003,
came in below budget. Half of the funding is coming from
UWM parking fees, while the other half is from state funds and
student segregated fees. The athletic department has also un-
dertaken a variety of fundraising efforts for even greater en-
hancements within its space in the facility. The most distinc-
tive feature of the 135,000-gross-square-foot Pavilion is the
extensive use of glass “walls,” creating a feeling of openness
and allowing expansive views of nearby Downer Woods and
the campus.

The Horizon League
In its 28th year, the Horizon League contin-
ues to aspire toward its goal of being one
of the nation’s leading athletics confer-
ences while being recognized as a leader
in the development of student-athletes as
leaders and role models.
The Horizon League membership features
nine public and private institutions that
have impressive academic reputations and
a storied tradition of broad-based athletic
programs. Current membership includes Butler University,
Cleveland State University, the University of Detroit Mercy, the
University of Illinois at Chicago, Loyola University Chicago, the
University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, the University of Wiscon-
sin-Milwaukee, Wright State University and Youngstown State
University. Valparaiso University will offi cially join on July 1,
2007, expanding the League to 10 members.
The Horizon League, headquartered in Indianapolis, sponsors
competition in 19 sports – nine for men (baseball, basketball,
cross country, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, indoor track
and fi eld, outdoor track and fi eld and tennis) and 10 for wom-
en (basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming
and diving, indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track and fi eld, ten-
nis and volleyball). In all sports, all teams participate in their
respective postseason League championships regardless of
regular-season performance, allowing all student-athletes an
opportunity to qualify for NCAA championships. The League
receives automatic bids to NCAA championships in baseball,
men’s and women’s basketball, men’s golf, men’s and wom-
en’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s
volleyball.
• A Proud History
Founded in 1979 as the Midwestern City Conference with six
charter members, the League changed its name to the Mid-
western Collegiate Conference in 1985 and added women’s
sports for the 1986-87 academic year. Charter members of the
conference included current members Butler and Loyola as
well as the University of Evansville, Oklahoma City University,
Oral Roberts University and Xavier University. Among other
current members, Detroit joined in 1980 and Cleveland State,
UIC, UW-Green Bay, Milwaukee and Wright State came aboard
in 1994 (along with Northern Illinois University). Youngstown
State joined in 2001. On June 4, 2001, the Horizon League un-
veiled its current name and ushered in a new dynamic direc-
tion that has brought the League closer to its stated goal of
being one of the nation’s top 10 conferences with a focus on
enhancing the student-athletes experience by upgrading the
League’s market and competitive positions.
•Athletic Success
In the past few years, the Horizon League
has enjoyed unprecedented success on the
national stage, highlighted by two Sweet
16 appearances (Butler 2003, Milwaukee
2005) and fi ve wins in the NCAA Men’s Bas-
ketball Championship in the past four sea-
sons, including Milwaukee’s victory over
the University of Oklahoma this past March.
In other sports, League teams have won at
least one game in their respective NCAA
Championships each of the last four seasons in men’s soccer
(Milwaukee 2002-05), the last two in women’s soccer (Detroit
2004, Milwaukee 2005) and four of the last fi ve in softball (UIC
2002, 2004; Wright State 2003; UW-Green Bay 2005). Butler’s
Victoria Mitchell became the League’s fi rst NCAA individual
champion when she won the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the
2005 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships and then
fi nished fourth at the 2005 NCAA Cross Country Champion-
ships.
• Academic Success
Horizon League student-athletes also excel in the classroom
as more than 500 have been named to the Academic Honor
Roll each of the past three semesters for carrying a grade-
point average of 3.25 or better. Thirty-fi ve student-athletes
were named to ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-Dis-
trict teams in 2005-06 and 11 earned Academic All-America
honors, including two fi rst-team selections.
• Community Service
In addition to its athletics success, the Horizon League has
secured a well-earned reputation for its community service
initiatives. Each January, member institutions partner with
local elementary schools for an art, music and essay contest
highlighting the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with winners
recognized at League games on the weekend of MLK Day. The
Horizon League Student-Athlete Advisory Committee also has
continued a tradition of working with youth at the Kaleido-
scope Youth Center in Indianapolis during its annual summer
meeting. On campus, student-athletes have raised money and
awareness for such causes as breast cancer, diabetes and hur-
ricane relief, while hosting blood drives, neighborhood clean-
ups, Big Brother/Big Sister programs and more.
• Demographics
Horizon League institutions boast a combined enrollment of
more than 130,000 plus nearly 700,000 living alumni centered
in the League’s Midwest footprint. League media markets in-
clude fi ve of the nation’s top 35 in Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland,
Indianapolis and Milwaukee, covering more than nine million
television households and encompassing nine percent of the
nation’s television audience.
