meet the falcons • head coach

In 2011, Stephanie Young begins her sixth full season as head coach of the Bowling Green State University women’s golf team. She is the tenth head coach of the Falcons in the 40 years of the program. In 2009 Young was honored with the BGSU Division of Student Affairs New Outstanding Professional Award and BGSU Athletic Department’s “Roll Along” Award.

Since joining the team midway through the 2005-06 season, Coach Young and the Falcons have made major improvements to the land-scape of the team. Thus far, she has guided the Falcons to three team tournament titles and four runner-up finishes. Her teams have also fea-tured four athletes who have earned a total of five individual medalist titles. Young has coached players to 39 top ten finishes, and her athletes have won five MAC Player of the Week awards and one MAC Sports-woman of the Year award. Multiple school records have been set by Young’s players, including the individual and team records for 18-, 36-, and 54-hole tournament scores, as well as for season scoring average.

Young’s players have also achieved success in the classroom, earning 13 National Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar Awards and two Academic All-MAC selections. The 2006-07 BGSU team held the 11th highest grade-point average among Division I golf programs. In that season, they also held the highest team GPA among the 18 pro-grams at Bowling Green. One of Young’s athletes has also been named one of BGSU’s Outstanding Top Ten Seniors in each of the last three years (Lindsey Jonkhoff ‘09, Hannah Lambert ‘10, Lauren Glew ‘11).

The 2010-11 season was a roller-coaster of sorts for the Falcons. The team began the season white-hot, as it set multiple team and individual scoring records at the North Texas Fall Classic and Great Smokies In-tercollegiate. In Texas, BGSU shot a 54-hole record 924 (316-305-303) while Susy Grunden set team records for 18, 36 and 54 holes (69, 140, 210) on her way to a tournament title. At the Great Smokies tourna-ment, the Falcons shot a school-record 294 in the first round and had a record 36-hole mark of 609. The team also shot 617 over 36 holes at the BSU Cardinal Classic and 944 for 54 holes of the EKU Lady Colonel Classic. However, the team was unable to manager better than a sixth-place finish in any event and placed ninth at the 2011 MAC Championships.

Individually, the Falcons secured three top-five finishes outside of Grunden’s tournament win, as well as two other top-tens and five other top-20s. Grunden left the team at mid-season, but Young appears to

have her replacement lined up in freshman Bailey Arnold. Arnold re-corded one of BGSU’s best averages ever (79.90) in her debut season, carded the second-lowest round in BGSU history (70) and finished the season with three top-20 finishes, including a seventh-place effort at Eastern Kentucky. Meanwhile, Lauren and Marisa Glew concluded long and successful Falcon careers; Lauren had the team’s second-best aver-age and two top-20s during the season.

In the fall of 2009, Young led the Falcons to runner-up finishes at the Youngstown State Invitational and Dayton Invitational. The team re-corded a low round of 311 at the Great Smokies Invitational. Indi-vidually, freshman Susannah Grunden won the Zippy Invitational with a score of 226 (77-73-76). Gruden’s 54-hole score was tied for third-best in school history, and her second-round 73 broke a record for the lowest score by a Falcon freshman. She was later awarded the MAC’s Golfer of the Week award for her accomplishments. While Grunden’s accom-plishments highlighted the fall, she wasn’t the only Falcon to impress. Megan Gormley finished second and Hannah Lambert finished third at the YSU Invitational and Lauren Glew finished ninth at Dayton.

The Falcons concluded the 2009-10 season in the spring with a fifth place finish at the Falcon Invitational and an eighth-place result at the MAC Championships. Grunden’s 78.53 average set a BGSU freshman record and ranks second overall in program history. Lauren Glew and Hannah Lambert each earned NGCA All-American Scholar honors, and Grunden qualified for the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship.

Despite graduating four seniors, the Falcons played well in the 2008-09 season with a runner-up finish at the NIU Huskie Classic. They also

had a record-breaking 298 at the GVSU Invitational, with four golfers finishing in the top ten. The Falcons then had a solid seventh-place finish at the Zippy Invitational, with two players inside the top 16. Young received the Coaches Award at the NIU Huskie Classic, voted on by the coaches of the tournament field.

Team captain Lauren Glew had two top ten performances and junior Megan Gormley had a fourth-place finish at the Falcon Invitational (81-77) and a fifth-place showing at the Huskie Classic (77-80). Megan Bader started her sophomore season off with an 88-71 at the Laker Fall Classic. The 71 was one shot short of a Falcon record. She also finished runner-up at the Huskie Classic with a score of 156 and tied for seventh at the Falcon Invitational with two rounds of 81. Aca-demically, three players were named to the National Golf Coaches Association All Scholar Team - Lauren Glew, Hannah Lambert, and Megan Gormley.

In 2007-08, the Falcons established a new school record for team scor-ing average (323.36), besting the 2001-02 record by one shot. Also, every player on the team surpassed or matched their career low score. The team won the Falcon Invitational with seniors Jessica McCann and Carley Hrusovsky finishing as co-champions. The senior duo was named MAC Golfers of the Week following their tournament win. The Falcons placed fifth at the Laker Fall Classic (310-326) with three players in the top 20 individually and scored a 941 at the Rio Verde Collegiate Invitational, four shots shy of the school record. Fresh-man Lauren Glew had a third place finish at the Laker Fall Classic with a 151. Her final round 74 was the lowest by any Falcon freshman at the time. The Falcons had four golfers selected to the National Golf Coaches Association All Scholar Team (Lindsey Jonkhoff, Car-ley Hrusovsky, Lauren Glew, and Marisa Glew). Hrusovsky was also named to the Adademic All-MAC Team and awarded the NCAA Post Graduate scholarship, given 13 female athletes in the country that plan to pursue a career in college athletics.

In 2006-07, BGSU won the YSU-Taco Bell Invitational by ten strokes, making it the second straight season BGSU took the crown. Junior Jessica McCann took the medalist title, finishing with rounds of 73 and 74. Her score of 147 was a new career best and just two shots shy of the BGSU school record. It was also the Falcons’ first medalist crown since 2002. In the spring, the Falcons broke the 54-hole school record by shooting a team score of 937 (312-316-309), which was one better than the record set back in 1984. After hosting the team’s first

Falcon Invitational at Stone Ridge Golf Club, it was off to the MAC Championships at Longaberger Golf Club in Nashport, OH. The squad improved last year’s standing in the conference with a seventh place finish. Senior Kari Liggett posted an 11th place finish for the top Falcon performance in a MAC Championship since 2004 as well as the fifth-best performance by a Falcon since the beginning of the MAC Championships in 1999. Liggett was also honored as the MAC Sportswoman of the Year, the first Falcon to earn this award, which is voted on solely by the players. The National Golf Coaches Asso-ciation (NGCA) named BGSU juniors Carley Hrusovsky and Lindsey Jonkhoff to the prestigous All Scholar Team and ranked the BGSU women’s golf team 11th best in the country for team GPA. That same 3.64 GPA helped the team win the BGSU Student-Athlete Services “Highest Team GPA Award”. All seven squad members maintained at least a 3.24 GPA, earning the NCAA Public Recognition Award for multi-year academic progress rate scores in the top-10 percent of all squads in their respective sports.

During the 2005-06 season, in just their second tournament with Young at the helm, the Falcons captured the St. George Invitational by seven shots with three BGSU players finishing in the top seven. One tournament later, sophomore Jessica McCann was named Mid-American Conference Women’s Golfer of the Week after shooting a career-best 152 (77-75) at the Illini Spring Classic. McCann was the first Falcon to garner the honor in nearly five years. BGSU and Young hosted the MAC Championships, played at Walden Ponds in Indian Springs, Ohio. The Falcons were the lone team to improve all four rounds of the event (325-322-317-315) and Young coached all five of her players to establish personal-bests in the MAC Championships. Sophomore Carley Hrusovsky was named to the Academic All-MAC Team; a honor that had not been awarded to a Falcon in three seasons. Though Hrusovsky was the lone Falcon to be named to the Academic All-MAC team, all six members of the women’s golf program carried at least a 3.25 GPA.

Prior to BGSU, Young was an assistant golf professional at Sylvania Country Club for three years. During that time, she served as an as-sistant coach for the St. Ursula Academy’s varsity golf team, where the team made two state tournament appearances. In addition, she served as an USGA intern for the Toledo District Golf Association, worked for the Toledo Junior Golf Association, and worked under head teach-ing professional James P. McGurk, who has been named the No. 1 instructor in Ohio by Golf Magazine.

Young earned both her bachelor’s degree in 2002 (business manage-ment) and her MBA in 2003 from the University of Toledo. She was also a four year letterwinner and captain of the UT Women’s Golf team from 1998-2002. Young helped her team win eight team titles and in 2000 she was the individual champion at the Bowling Green State Falcon Invitational.

beGinninGs...The following is an excerpt from the book “Forward Falcons”, written by Janet Parks, Ann Bowers and Addie Hostetler Muti. “Forward Falcons” provides a detailed history of women’s sports at Bowling Green State University. This excerpt covers the history of the golf program from the 1940s through the early 1970s.

On the pages that follow, one can find complete team results beginning with 1974 and individual results beginning with 1976, along with photos of individual tournament medalists spanning the last four decades.

---------------------------------------------------------

Across many years, a unique feature of the BGSU women’s golf program was the rapport that existed between professional golfers and the University physical education faculty, who arranged for the pros to come to BG to engage in a variety of activities. The earliest recorded visit occurred in May 1947, when Betty Hicks,winner of nine major tournaments and vice-president of the Women’s Professional Golf Association (WPGA), came to campus. During her 5-day stay, Hicks conducted a demonstra-tion for a group representing the AthleticFederation of Ohio College Women, taught several golf classes, and spoke to women phys-ical education majors. Hicks’ career advice foreshadowed the sport management academic program that would emerge more than 30 years later, as she remarked on “the many opportu-nities for talented women in the professional golfing field due to the great need at this time for capable people to do promotional work” (BG News, May 7, 1947, p. 3).

Four years later, Marilynn Smith, a co-founder of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA), came to BG to conduct a clinic at the University golf course. While on campus, she played an exhibition match with Shirley Spork, a BGSU physical education instructor and also

a co-founder of the LPGA (BG News, May 18, 1951, p. 3).

In 1965 and 1966, the women’s physical education department, in cooperation with the LPGA, sponsored National Golf Schools. Shir-ley Spork and Penny Boussoulas, physicaleducation instructor and coach of the BGSU golf team, were co-chairs of the Schools. Eight years later, Spork returned to BG, where she conducted a golf clinic and hit the symbolic“first ball” in the inaugural event of Grand Opening Week of the back nine holes of the University Golf Course (BG News,June 20, 1974, p. 8).

Bowling Green students also have a long his-tory of enjoying golf. As early as 1930, golf was included among the sports sponsored by the WAA. It proved to be quite popular, andin 1936 BGSU golfers competed against teams from Toledo and Heidelberg in a Sports Day held at the University of Toledo (BG News, May 13, 1936). Early in 1941, Jean DrakeHendrickson organized BG’s first women’s golf club with the purpose of fostering “interest and enjoyment in golf among the women stu-dents of the campus.” The club was open towomen who either had had nine weeks of golf instruction or could pass the “efficiency” test (BG News, Feb. 26, 1941).

In 1957, BG sent a foursome to the Ohio In-tercollegiate Golf Tourney at Ohio State (Key, 1957). Two years later, Agnes Hooley, the club’s sponsor, brought more structure to thegroup, announcing that the golf club would meet “at 3:30 every Tuesday, regardless of weather conditions” (BG News, Oct. 6, p. 3). The same year, in a WIA-sponsored Sports Day with Eastern Michigan, Wooster, and Oberlin, BG golfers captured the top three places (BG News, Nov. 10, 1959). In a 1961 tri-match on the Scarlet course in Columbus, a BG foursome prevailed over teams from Ohio State and Ohio University (BG News, May 12, 1961).

During the late 1960s, the Falcon golf team matched up well against teams represent-

ing schools such as Ohio State, Kent State, and Michigan State. They also turned in fine performances in the annual Midwest tourna-ment, the precursor to the MAIAW. These accomplishments occurred with few resources. In May of 1988, coach Dolores Black remem-bered how the team obtained enough shag balls to finish the season: “We played Central Michigan, and a little stream went through the course. On one hole, almost every ball would go in the stream and we retrieved many of them.”

Noel Jablonski (1967-1971), recalled what be-ing on the golf team meant to her in those days:

“I have many wonderful memories about the BG golf team….It was great fun to pile four or five of us and all of our gear into Ms. Black’s big ol’ car to drive across the Midwest to compete in Illinois and Indiana. We stayed in motels, ate in restaurants, and developed friendships with players from other schools. We had to manage our schoolwork and time, cooperate with one another, and encourage each other. We were on the course inBloomington, Indiana, in 1970, when the Kent State uprisings were closing universities in Ohio. I remember the golfers from Ohio University trying to decide if they could finish the tournament because they had received word that their school had shut down. Every competitor helped to deal with the situation” (May, 2005).

By the 1970s, Black’s team had become very competitive with teams from across the Midwest. In 1972, BG won the team champi-onship at the Ohio Invitational Tournament, with Falcon Sue Barkhurst winning medalist honors (BG News, May 17, 1972). To top off the victory, Carolyn Treece carded a dramatic hole-in-one! The BG golfers repeated the statetitle in 1973, and Jill Wilhelm played in the AIAW national tournament at the University of Georgia. The Falcons were state runners-up to the Buckeyes in the 1974 Ohio Invitational, which was held in conjunction with the FalconWomen’s Invitational (BG News, May 22, 1974).

Greg Christopher is in his sixth year as the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at Bowling Green State University. Christopher, the 12th full-time athletic directer in school history, began his duties in July of 2006 has accomplished a great deal in his first five years in Northwest Ohio.

Christopher oversees an 18-sport program which has a budget of $17 million and 75 full-time employees. BGSU, which is a member of the Mid-American Conference (MAC) and Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA), is one of 13 programs in the country which sponsor Division I-A football and compete in men’s and women’s basketball and men’s ice hockey on the Division I level.

A native of West Lafayette, Ind., Christopher has moved the BGSU athletic department forward in multiple areas in his first five years. The Sebo Athletic Center was completed in the fall of 2007, featuring expanded and state-of-the-art sports medicine and rehabilitation facilities as well as a strength and conditioning area for all University student-athletes. The new front entrance for Doyt L. Perry Stadium, the building also houses administrative offices as well as offices and meeting rooms for the football Falcons.

The Sebo Athletic Center is part of $57 million in new or renovated athletics facilities completed during Christopher’s tenure. That facilities list includes the new Keefe Tennis Complex, a renovation to Whittaker Track, improvements at baseball’s Steller Field, the FieldTurf inside Perry Stadium, renovations to the BGSU Ice Arena, and the new $36 million Stroh Center. Incremental facility improvement plans are also underway for other BGSU athletics venues.

Athletic achievements of Christopher’s five years include nine conference banners. Highlights include the remarkable run of women’s basketball. The women’s hoops Falcons became the first team in conference history to advance to the ‘Sweet 16’ of the NCAA in 2006-07, winning a MAC record 31 games along the way. Curt Miller’s team made its fifth trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2011, following the Falcons’ seventh straight conference title.

In Christopher’s tenure, football has played in two post-season bowl games, including the 2008 GMAC Bowl in Mobile, Ala., and the 2009 Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho. The 2007 football team also shared the MAC East Division title. In 2008-09, the men’s basketball team won its first regular season MAC title in decade, advancing the NIT post-season tournament. And baseball won three consecutive MAC East Division titles, including overall conference regular season championships in 2008 and 2009.

In the classroom, the Falcons have flourished, as the number of student-athletes with a GPA of 3.0 or above has increased in each of the last four years. In 2010-11, BGSU student-athletes set a new bar for cumulative GPA record, charting a 3.08 mark, and 196 BG student-athletes had a GPA of at least 3.0. The student-athlete graduation rate is greater than the overall student body’s graduation rate.

Christopher implemented the Falcon Leadership Academy, a leadership development program for BGSU student-athletes. Christopher, along with several other administrators in the athletics department, serves as an instructor for the class, which represents each of the department’s 18 varsity sports.

Christopher’s background in fundraising and development has been evident in his first five years at BGSU. There have been double-digit percentage increases in the external funding areas, including development, corporate marketing, licensing and concessions. Christopher has furthered the department’s logo transition and integrated an external communications plan.

Christopher came to BGSU after spending nearly a decade at Purdue University in his hometown. He served as Associate A.D. for External Relations and John Purdue Club Director at Purdue University. Christopher, who had been at the school since 1997, was a member of the department’s senior staff. He was accountable for external and revenue-related areas for Purdue’s $50 million department. In his role, he oversaw several areas, including development, marketing, promotions and advertising, athletic licensing and sports information.

Under his leadership, Purdue raised $17.2 million in total giving for Athletics in his final year there. He also played a significant role in a seven-year campus-wide capital campaign which raised $111 million for Athletics during that period. Projects that came to fruition in that time frame include tripling the number of endowed athletic scholarships and several facility additions or renovations. Among the facility projects were an indoor golf training center, football stadium renovation, aquatic center, indoor tennis center, and basketball video board campaign. He also was the advisor for Purdue’s chapter of Athletes-in-Action, and served a period of time as the sport administrator for Purdue’s men’s and women’s tennis programs.

Christopher served as Executive Director for the Society of Professional Journalists in Greencastle, Ind., from 1994 to 1997 after joining the organization in 1991 as its Marketing and Development Director. During that time, he managed a staff of 15 for the nation’s largest not-for-profit journalism organization. His tenure focused largely on external relations, fueling growth that doubled the net worth of the foundation and association. He also improved relations with SPJ’s 250 local chapters and negotiated contracts and corporate partnerships.

Prior to joining SPJ, Christopher was an Account Executive at WWWV-FM in Charlottesville, Va., from 1988-90. In that capacity, he designed and managed station promotions, including partnerships with the athletics program at the University of Virginia. He also was part of the “Page Program” at NBC in New York in 1988 where he served as a research analyst, assisting the Manager of Sports Programming and Market Analysis in research of television sports. Christopher also produced network sports tracking reports and surveys of major league sports.

He earned a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication from MAC-member Miami University in 1988 and earned his MBA from the institution in 1991. He played football for one season before the former linebacker’s career was cut short due to injury. In 1987-88 and 1990-91, Christopher was involved as a television color commentator in football and play-by-play voice for men’s ice hockey which aired on regional cable television and WPTD-TV in Dayton. He also served as a graduate assistant in the Office of Admissions at Miami in 1990-91.

Christopher is a member of the Mid-American Conference’s External Relations Committee, current Chair of the CCHA Council, and is the women’s basketball administrative chair for the MAC. In the spring of 2008, he was appointed to the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee. Christopher is active in Northwest Ohio with t h e B o w l i n g G r e e n Community Foundation, t h e A m e r i c a n R e d Cross and Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

Christopher, 45, is married to the former Tina Smith of Leetonia, Ohio. The couple has a son, Zachary, 15, and two daughters, Megan and Allison, ages 13 and 11.
