Coming_off_a_Summit_League_title,_an_NCAA_Tournament_berth_and_a_school-record_tying_14_victories,_the_UMKC_men’s_tennis_team_has_one_goal_for_the_2010_season_–_to_repeat_and_win_back-to-back_league_titles.__Head_Coach_Kendell_Hale_and_the_‘Roos_will_have_all_the_pieces_in_place_to_accomplish_their_preseason_goal,_as_the_entire_champi-onship_roster_returns_to_defend_their_league_crown.

“I_think_we’ve_gotten_better_from_last_year_to_this_year,_and_I_have_the_confi-dence_that_our_players_will_step_up_to_the_challenge,”_said_Hale.__“With_that_being_said,_our_goals_don’t_change.__Our_goal_is_always_to_win_the_league_title.”

“I_know_all_the_teams_in_our_league_are_going_to_be_circling_their_match_with_us_this_season.__It_doesn’t_bother_me,_however,_having_the_bull’s_eye_on_our_back_because_hopefully_that_will_make_our_team_and_our_individual_games_that_much_better.”

The_‘Roos_return_seven_letterwinners_and_a_total_of_nine_players_from_the_2009_Summit_League_Championship_squad_and_they_added_a_pair_of_new-comers_to_the_mix_as_well.__Five_of_the_returnees_have_earned_all-league_honors_during_their_careers_at_UMKC,_so_the_tal-ent_and_experience_is_lined_up_for_2010.

The_squad_will_look_to_a_senior_laden_line-up_featuring_Bret_Berryman,_Patrick_Smith,_Erwin_Quintanilla_and_Dennis_

Schwarz_to_provide_leadership_to_the_squad.__The_quartet_of_seniors_will_an-chor_the_line-up_and_provide_the_entire_team_with_invaluable_experience.__

“All_four_of_our_seniors_have_really_intensified_their_workouts_and_their_focus_because_they_know_this_is_their_last_go_round,”_said_Hale.__“These_guys_are_really_hungry_on_the_court_as_they_are_striving_to_close_out_their_careers_on_top.”

Berryman_made_an_immediate_impact_for_the_‘Roos_in_his_inaugural_season_in_Blue_and_Gold,_as_the_Ball_State_trans-fer_stepped_into_the_top_singles_and_doubles_positions.__The_Blue_Springs,_Mo.,_native_went_on_to_post_an_8-11_singles_record_and_a_9-6_mark_at_the_top_doubles_position,_which_led_to_him_earn-ing_first_team_all-league_honors_and_The_Summit_League_Newcomer_of_the_Year_accolade.__

“Bret_was_a_key_part_of_our_success_last_year_and_I’m_looking_forward_to_seeing_him_compete_again_this_season,”_said_Hale.__“His_game_has_taken_a_step_forward_this_fall_and_I’ve_never_seen_him_more_focused_and_determined_to_succeed.”

Smith_returns_after_earning_his_second_straight_First_Team_all-Summit_League_honor_in_2009.__The_Germany_native_posted_a_14-6_singles_record_and_a_10-6_doubles_mark.__The_14_wins_were_tied_for_the_second_most_victories_in_a_single_season_in_school_history.

“Not_only_is_Patrick_an_excellent_player,_but_he_is_also_an_extraor-

dinary_leader,”_said_Hale.__“Pat_really_be-came_accountable_in_leading_this_team,_and_the_players_follow_him_because_he_not_only_talks_the_talk,_but_he_walks_the_walk.”

Schwarz_and_Quintanilla,_meanwhile,_return_for_their_fourth_season_with_the_‘Roos_as_both_players_have_been_main-stays_in_the_line-up_throughout_their_careers.__Schwarz,_a_two-time_second_team_all-league_honoree,_is_the_active_leader_in_singles_wins_with_27,_while_Quintanilla_has_tallied_20_career_singles_victories.__As_a_pair,_the_duo_has_teamed_up_in_doubles_for_three_seasons,_where_they_have_posted_a_17-21_overall_record.

“Dennis_is_probably_the_most_athletic_player_and_experienced_player_on_our_team,_and_he_has_a_lot_of_big-match_experience,”_said_Hale.__“Erwin_is_an_ag-

gressive,_strong_doubles_player_for_our_squad.__We’re_looking_for_him_to_be_more_consistent_

this_year_in_singles.”

A_fourth_upper-classman,_junior_Serge_Ristivojevic_returns_for_his_

third_season_after_com-

pleting_a_stellar_sopho-more_

cam-paign_in_Blue_

and_Gold.__The_Australia_native_finished_with_an_11-4_

singles_and_10-1_doubles_record_on_the_year,_despite_missing_a_

month_of_the_season_with_a_bout_of_pneumonia.__Ristivojevic_won_when_it_mattered_most,_as_he_won_the_clinching_match_in_The_Sum-mit_League_final_that_propelled_the_‘Roos_to_the_league_title_and_NCAA_Tournament_berth.

2010 SEASON OUTLOOK

“Serge_has_an_incredible_amount_of_confidence_in_himself_and_his_game,”_said_Hale.__“He_has_continued_working_on_his_strength_and_conditioning_in_the_offseason,_which_should_really_help_him_to_take_his_play_to_the_next_level.”

Sophomore_Gustavo_Guerin_returns_to_the_fold_after_earning_Second_Team_all-Summit_League_honors_in_2009_after_posting_a_12-9_singles_and_an_

11-5_doubles_record.__The_Brazilian’s_11_doubles_wins_were_tied_for_the_fifth_most_and_the_12_singles_victories_were_tied_for_the_seventh_most_in_a_single_season_in_school_history.

“Gustavo_was_the_most_consistent_player_day-in_and_day-out_on_our_roster,”_said_Hale.__“I_knew_what_he_was_going_to_bring_every_time_he_stepped_out_on_the_court,_which_is_something_every_coach_strives_for.__I_think_Gustavo_will_be_even_more_comfortable_and_confident_this_season,_which_will_put_him_in_line_for_another_great_season.”

Three_additional_players_–_redshirt_junior_Zachary_Alholm,_redshirt_sophomore_Nick_Mader_and_sophomore_Nick_Hays_–_will_battle_for_playing_time_for_the_‘Roos_this_season.__Alholm_and_Mader_both_redshirted_in_2009,_while_Hays_picked_up_three_singles_and_two_doubles_victories_as_a_true_freshman.

“Zach_had_the_best_fall_out_of_anyone_in_our_program,_and_I_can_really_see_a_change_in_his_determination_and_intensity_on_the_court,”_said_Hale.__“I_am_anxious_to_see_what_Nick_Mader_brings_to_our_squad_when_he_rejoins_our_team_after_studying_abroad_in_the_fall,_and_

Nick_Hays_may_be_the_most_improved_player_on_our_team.__He_worked_on_his_game_considerably_this_summer_and_fall_and_will_be_challenging_for_a_spot_in_the_line-up.”

Two_newcomers_have_also_joined_the_squad,_which_will_provide_Coach_Hale_with_additional_options_in_the_line-up_this_season.__David_Heckler_comes_to_Kansas_City_after_spending_the_last_year_

at_the_Sanchez_Casal_Tennis_Academy_in_Spain,_while_Adbulrahman_Alawadhi_joined_the_program_at_the_semester.”

“David_is_one_of_the_fastest_and_best_athletes_that_we_have_on_our_team_and_he_is_a_great_doubles_player_due_to_his_quickness,”_said_Hale.__“He_gained_a_great_deal_of_experience_at_the_tennis_academy_in_Spain,_which_should_help_him_to_be_a_key_contributor_in_our_line-up.”

“Ab-dulrahman_

will_be_a_solid_addition_to_our_

roster,”_said_Hale.__“As_a_prep,_we_was_the_No._1_

rated_player_in_the_gulf_region,_where_he_had_an_ITA_ranking_in_the_800’s,_so_he’ll_be_able_to_come_in_and_compete_for_a_position_in_our_line-up.”

The_Kangaroos_will_play_a_total_of_23_matches_during_the_2010_season,_which_includes_seven_matches_scheduled_to_be_contested_in_Kansas_City.__The_‘Roos_will_face_a_difficult_non-league_slate_against_schools_from_the_Missouri_Val-ley,_Atlantic_10_and_Horizon_League_prior_

to_beginning_Summit_League_play_in_late_March.

The_2010_Summit_League_Champion-ship_will_be_held_on_April_23-24_in_Tulsa,_Okla.,_with_the_winner_advancing_to_the_NCAA_Tournament.

“I_am_really_excited_to_coach_this_team,”_said_Hale.__“I_stress_to_our_players_every_day_that_the_team_comes_first_even_

though_we_play_an_individual_sport.__Our_success_last_season_came_from_be-ing_a_unified_team,_and_we_need_to_do_everything_ in_our_power_to_preserve_

that.”

“As_long_as_we_focus_on_the_goal_and_the_end_result,_I_am_confident_that_we’ll_get_to_where_we_want_to_be_at_the_end_of_the_season.”

The Evolution of the Kangaroo

When choosing a mascot, the discussion usually starts with three main categories - predatory animals, historical or regional figures, or humans that represent

power and strength - and ends with a collection of the usual suspects. Thanks to Walt Disney, The Kansas City Star and the Kansas City Zoo, UMKC has a very unique mascot, but how exactly does the Kangaroo fit? As it turns out, quite well.

In 1936, the issue of a mascot was first brought up by the editors of The University - the campus newspaper for Kansas City University. Although there were no organized intercollegiate athletics teams at the time, the newspaper staff felt that KCU’s debate team - and more importantly the school itself - deserved a unique identity. During that same year, the Kansas City Zoo purchased a pair of baby Kangaroos, and The Kansas City Star lit the fire with an article titled “Kangaroo May Go To KCU ... Student Editors Believe University Should Have A Symbol.”

Others on campus were not as enthusiastic. The editors of The Crataegus - the University’s yearbook - thought that a Kangaroo was not an appropriate symbol for KCU. A proposed feature page in the 1936-37 yearbook for the Kangaroo emblem was deleted, sparking a tremendous amount of debate.

As the debate wore on, interest from the campus community began to wane. It looked as if KCU would not adopt a mascot after all. But in 1937, two events would combine to indelibly link the Kangaroo with the University and give the mascot a name.

During the student government elections in the spring semester, the CO-OP Party adopted the Kangaroo as its official mascot, naming him Kasey. With a landslide victory in April behind the slogan “Kasey fits KC”, the first part of the foundation was laid. During the same month the first issue of KCU’s humor magazine - The Kangaroo - was published, with a kangaroo gracing the cover. Six months later, a kangaroo made another appearance on the cover of The Kangaroo, and although it wasn’t a solo appearance, it put a quick end to the debate over whether a kangaroo was an appropriate mascot for KCU.

Missouri native and famed cartoonist Walt Disney provided the artwork for the cover illustration, which featured Mickey Mouse shaking hands with Kasey Kangaroo. In a matter of a few years, The Kangaroo thrived while The Crataegus floundered, with the latter eventually folding. The Kangaroo became the University’s yearbook and the Kangaroo became the official mascot of Kansas City University.

Kasey has undergone several changes over the years, with the most recent metamorphosis led by UMKC Director of Athletics Tim Hall. With the help of local advertising agency Bernstein-Rein, UMKC developed a set of new athletics marks in the spring of 2008. After a community vote, the new Kangaroo logo was unveiled in May. With its aggressive snarl, the new Kangaroo capitalizes on UMKC’s mission to be an outstanding urban university while keeping mindful of the traditions established in 1937.

Director of Athletics Tim Hall

tiM haLLDirector of Athletics

Tim Hall was named the UMKC Director of Athletics on Feb. 14, 2007. In this role, he serves as a member of the Chancellor’s executive cabinet, and is responsible for leading the strategic direction in growing the university’s intercollegiate athletics program.

In Hall’s first two-and-a-half years in Kansas City, UMKC has enjoyed a record amount of success on the fields of competition, in the class-room, and in the Kansas City community. These successes were reinforced by the nCAA in 2009, as UMKC Athletics received full nCAA certification without condition. The certification showed that the University is operating its athletics program in substantial conformity with operating principles adopted by the nCAA Division I membership and is valid for the next 10 years.

From an athletics standpoint, Hall led the ‘Roos to their most successful year since 2000 in 2008-09. UMKC claimed a pair of Summit League titles in men’s soccer and men’s tennis, while also earning the runner-up nod in both men’s and women’s golf. These successes led to a record 2009 finish in the annual Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup. In Hall’s short time at UMKC, head coaches have been either hired or promoted for 13 of UMKC’s 16 sports. UMKC’s 16th sport, women’s soccer, begins play in the 2009 season.

In the classroom, the department posted a 3.09 cumulative grade point as of the spring 2009 semester. Ten of the 16 programs finished with at least a 3.0 GPA. Additionally, UMKC finished with a 964.5 APR average and two of the teams – women’s tennis and volleyball – were recognized for its academic achievement.

Internally, Hall has been hard at work to align the department with peer institutions and the nCAA. He restructured the rules compliance office to be more in line with nCAA rules and the Student-Athlete Support Services Office to better assist and prepare Kangaroo student-athletes. He also continues to work with new UMKC Chancellor Leo Morton to craft the athletics’ strategic plan in

concert with the University’s new strategic goals.

From a fund raising standpoint, Kangaroo Athletics have never been better. In 2008, UMKC received a $5 million pledge from the Stanley H. Durwood Foundation, the largest gift in Athletics’ history and the fourth-largest gift in University history. The resulting Stanley H. Durwood Soccer Stadium and Recreational Field opened in August 2009 and is among the premier soccer facilities in the Midwest region. Additional facility improvements include revamped locker rooms and lounges for men’s basketball, women’s basketball, and volleyball, and the an-ticipated completion of the Old Swinney basketball practice facility in 2010. On an annual basis, the Kangaroo Athletics Scholarship Fund, which was rebranded prior to the 2007-2008 school year, has posted back-to-back years of 50 percent growth, while donor participation is up over 200 percent. He also increased the department’s corporate sales figures by over percent and the new athletics’ alumni association has reconnected with over 150 former Kangaroos.

Hall has also been out in the community in an effort to get more community leaders involved in the Athletics Department. Hall restruc-tured the Athletics Foundation Board by adding representatives from a number of Kansas City-based businesses such as Cerner, Kansas City Southern Railways, Lathrop Gage LLC, and Mark One Electric. new partnerships have come quickly to Kangaroo Athletics, including television (Metro Sports) and radio (810 WHB) agreements that ensure a continued presence within the Kansas City region. Renowned local advertising firm Bernstein-Rein produced a redesigned athletics logo and graphics set, while additional contractual agreements have also been signed with adidas, Truman Medical Centers, Pepsi, JumpTV, and nACDA Consulting to better serve the department’s student-athletes.

Hall continues to bring leadership to UMKC and The Summit League. In addition to his role on the Chancellor’s Executive Cabinet, he chairs The Summit League Volleyball Coaches Committee, serves on The Summit League Joint Council lead-ership committee and sits on the Summit League men’s bas-ketball scheduling committee. Additionally, Hall was recently named to a three-year term to the nACDA Division 1-AAA Ex-ecutive Committee.

Hall came to Kansas City after serving as the Associate Athletics Director for Development at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, from 2003-07. While at KSU, he was a member of the athlet-ics senior administrative staff, working in all phases of depart-mental management including game and personnel contracts, scheduling, budget, policy and strategic planning.

In this role, Hall created and implemented a comprehensive restructuring of the athletic advancement unit, resulting in the creation of the Office of Athletic Advancement. He increased fundraising by more than 33 percent, helped secure the larg-est gift to date in the history of KSU athletics, a $1.53 million gift for the baseball stadium renovation, and raised more than $16.1 million.

Prior to moving back to Ohio, Hall worked at Eastern Kentucky University from 2000-03. Hall began work as the collegiate Di-rector for Development in 2000 before being promoted to the Director of Major Gifts and Special Projects in 2001. In this capacity, he raised over $4.6 million for the university, including $1.3 million for athletics.

Hall also served as the Assistant Director of Development at Saint Xavier University in Chicago from September 1999 through October 2000. At Saint Xavier, Hall managed fundraising efforts for a $13 million Athletic and Convention Center. He also managed the President’s Club, and developed and implemented the Cougar Club, an athletics affinity group.

Before moving to Chicago, Hall worked at Youngstown State University as an Assistant Director of Athletic Development from 1997-99. In this role, he helped the university complete its successful $26 million capital campaign. Hall also began his collegiate career at YSU, serv-ing in the school’s athletic marketing and promotions office.

Hall earned his bachelor’s degree in sports administration from the University of Toledo in 1994. He then received his master’s degree in sports administration from Kent State University in 1998.

Hall and his wife, Beth, have four children, Aidan, Aislin, Donovan and Landon, and they reside in Kansas City, Mo.

total care of each student-athlete. Under the guidance of Head Athletics Trainer Ted Ferris, the UMKC Sports Medicine staff pri-oritizes prevention, treatment and rehabilitiation in working with Kangaroo student-athletes.

Built in 1999, the Swyden Athletics Training Facility honors the memory of former Kansas City councilman and longtime UMKC Athletics supporter Victor F. Swyden, who headed the task-force that guided the Kangaroos from nAIA to nCAA Division I. A lifetime resident of Kansas City and a graduate of Paseo High School, Swyden was honored in 1993 with the Golden Torch Award, one of the highest honors bestowed by UMKC upon an individual.

For the 2009-10 season, the UMKC Athletics Department is teaming up with the UMKC School of Medicine Sports Medicine Fellowship Program, under the direction of Dr. Russell D. White. The Fellowship Program will provide health care for the student-athletes by staffing the train-ing room 3-4 days per week and will also be available to see student-athletes in need of urgent care.

UMKC Athletic Facilities & Departments


UMKC Athletic Facilities & Departments

Municipal auditoriumMunicipal Auditorium - affectionately known as “The Muni” - is one of the most historic venues in all of college basketball. The arena has hosted more nCAA Final Fours than any other building in the country, as nine nCAA Championship games have been contested at Municipal.

Adding to its rich and storied history, Municipal recently underwent a series of upgrades to improve the overall experience. More than $3.5 million was invested in new arena lighting, new seating and enhanced locker rooms for players and officials. Additionally, the court was replaced prior to the 2006-07 season.

Municipal is home to the UMKC men’s basketball team, also hosting several doubleheaders with the UMKC women throughout the season.

The Dutton Brookfield Strength and Conditioning Center at UMKC’s Swinney Recreation Center was officially dedi-cated on Sept. 22, 2004.

Led by Director of Strength, Conditioning and Sports En-hancement Trumain Carroll, the Brookfield Center is de-signed to help enhance UMKC student-athletes’ levels of performance while significantly reducing the chances for injuries. The benefit of performing structured strength and power training throughout the entire year will give student-athletes the opportunity to reach new levels of physical development.

The center contains free weights, plus platforms, benches and machines and the lat-est cardiovascular equipment. In the summer of 2006, the area purchased the latest Sports Motion system to give student-athletes the video analysis needed to improve their techniques.

The home of UMKC Athletics, Swinney Recreation Center is also one of the finest fitness centers in all of Kansas City. Created through a $14.5 million addition to the old Swinney Gymnasium, the center includes five basketball courts, four racquet ball courts, a 25-meter indoor/outdoor pool and three exercise rooms - two weight rooms and a cardio room.

The competition court serves as the home venue for UMKC volleyball in the fall, UMKC women’s basketball and select men’s basketball contests during the winter. It is also the main practice venue for the men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams.

Kangaroo student-athletes enjoy some of the finest locker room facilities in The Summit League courtesy of a major renovation undertaken prior to the 2007-08 school year. Along with providing each student-athlete their own individual locker space, the facility also features a player’s lounge that includes leather couches and a big screen television. In addition, the lounge is equipped with a computer workstation with a high-speed internet connection.

Kangaroo Head Coaches The Kangaroo Athletics Scholarship Fund (KASF)

supports the student-athletes of UMKC through the offset-ting of expenses such as scholarships, travel, recruiting, and equipment. As costs continue to rise, support for our student-athletes through the KASF becomes more crucial as we continue to build an elite Summit League athletics department.

For the 2009-2010 academic year, student-athlete scholarship expenses are expected to include: •Tuition(out-of-state):$17,226 •RoomandBoard:$10,467 •Tuition(in-state):$6,876 •BooksandFees:$1,280

In addition, over the past year it has become extremely difficult for budgets to keep pace with rising travel and food costs. While athletics must be vigilant in cost containment, we must continue to provide for the best possible student-athlete experience. That is where the KASF donors can play such a tremendous role.

Donors to the KASF enjoy a number of benefits based on their donor level, including Priority Seating, access to the pre-game Kangaroo Club hospitality parties at men’s basketball games, in-vitations to a number of events, complimentary media guides and gifts, and exclusive opportunities to meet the student-athletes, staff, coaches, and University leadership.

For more information on the Kangaroo Athletics Scholarship Fund, please contact Cassie Corker, Assistant Director of Advancement, at 816-235-6170.

That’s why all housing is conveniently located on the west side of campus, near the University Center (and cafeteria), Swinney Recreation Center, and within easy walking distance to all other Volker campus build-ings. nearby are the Country Club Plaza and museums, and other local attractions. Downtown Kansas City, Mo., is approximately 10 minutes away by automobile (or bus).

venue has hosted more nCAA Tournament games and more Final Fours than any other venue in the

country.

Kansas City


As a member of the Kansas City community, the UMKC Athletics Department takes great pride in giving back to its neighbors and

friends. The Kangaroos outdid themselves during the 2008-09 school year by hosting a plethora of successful events and volunteering their time. Here is a short list of the community service projects that UMKC teams and student-athletes took part in:

► The UMKC Athletics Department assisted students by helping them move their personal belongings into their new homes as a part of Student Move-In Day 2008. Student-athletes, coaches and administrators from all 16 athletics teams battled rainy conditions to help their fellow students move into the Oak Street Residence Hall.

► Launched by UMKC softball head coach Meredith Smith, Trunk-or-Treat offers youngsters from the neighborhoods surrounding UMKC the opportunity to participate in a safe and fun trick-or-treat environment. UMKC student-athletes and coaches dress up and hand out candy and other items from the trunks of their cars, participating in Halloween-themed games as well. Along with the Activities and Programming Council, Trunk-or-Treat was a success in just its third year.

► UMKC men’s basketball head coach Matt Brown coached barefoot against north Dakota State back in January in an effort to collect shoes for the non-profit organization Samaritan’s Feet. UMKC supporters brought in 115 pairs of kid shoes for the cause. Coach Brown joined 300 basketball coaches from across the country teaming up to support this initiative.

► UMKC teamed up with The Summit League during the 2008-09 season and participated in The Summit League’s Students Team Up To Fight Hunger (STUFH). The league designated 20 “Food Fight” games during the basketball season as part of a league-wide food drive initiative. The Kangaroos hosted “Black Out” night where fans donned black t-shirts and donated over 900 pounds of food!

► The UMKC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) supported the Planet Aid Clothing Drive and placed two bins on campus. The drive was held from April 3 to May 8 and they collected clothes for development programs around the world.

► The volleyball, women’s basketball and softball teams all participated in Think Pink events to raise breast cancer awareness. The volleyball

team wore pink shoelaces, while the women’s basketball joined over 700 other institutions

in taking part in the WBCA “Think Pink” week. Softball paired up with Summit League foe South Dakota State in their ongoing tradition,

donning commemorative pink uniforms for the final game of the league series between the

teams.

► In addition to their summer camps, designed for the elite player, several UMKC teams also took

time out to give clinics to the community at large. Men’s soccer continued its 11-year tradition this spring, working with the Kansas

City Department of Parks and Recreation to offer clinics and coaching assistance to youngsters at Swope Park, while softball, women’s basketball and women’s soccer all took leadership roles in WIn for KC’s Camp WIn, teaching young girls from the Kansas City area both sport and life skills.

► Christmas Wish Lists for Temporary Lodging for Children (Track and Field)
