Karen Lamb Takes over Tradition-Rich BYU Program
with an Inexperienced, but Talented Team
New Era Begins in 2002 with Retirement of Elaine Michaelis
There will be a new look to BYU volleyball in 2002, both on the court and along the bench. In May 2002,
legendary coach Elaine Michaelis retired from coaching after 40 years guiding the Cougar program.
Karen Lamb, a BYU assistant the past eight years who also has been a college head coach for nine seasons, takes over a program that returns very little on-court experience from last year’s 20-9 team.
In 2002 BYU will be without the services of four key starters. Three time All-American Nina Puikkonen,
fellow middle blocker Jackie Bundy and outside hitter Natalie Whittaker all graduated. In addition, senior rightside hitter Sunny Mahe, who was named the AVCA/Sports Imports National Player of the Week
and twice honored as the MWC Player of the Week in 2001, will redshirt the 2002 season while expecting her first child in November.
Lamb takes over a Cougar team that enters the season without a returning All-American on the roster
for the first time since 1995. Last year was the first season since 1989 that a Cougar did not receive
All-America honors and only the fifth time BYU has not had an All-American since Lamb became BYU's
first women's volleyball All-American in 1977.
A talented but inexperienced group, the 2002 team returns two starters in All-Mountain West
With the loss of four key
starters off of last year’s
team, we have a largely
young and inexperienced
team this year but we have
some good talent on the
roster. They are hardworking and will continue
to improve as we progress
through a very challenging
schedule.
Karen Lamb
Head Coach
Conference selections Karina Puikkonen and Uila Crabbe. Puikkonen has set the Cougar attack the past
two seasons while Crabbe stepped up in 2001 to play a vital role on the back row for Michaelis in her
final season. Other than sophomore outside hitter Lauren Richards, who played in 19 matches a year
ago, no other player on the roster has spent consistent time on the court as a Cougar.
Despite the inexperience, the Cougars have a typically talented roster and extremely versatile lineup. The
late summer addition of redshirt sophomore transfer April Varner, who started on the outside during the
spring for Long Beach State, gives Lamb another talented option as she opens fall camp. In all, the 2002
Cougar roster is comprised of eight returning letterwinners, three transfers, two redshirt freshmen and
two high school recruits.
The following position-by-position look at the Cougars gives further insight into what might transpire on
the court for BYU in 2002.
OUTSIDE HITTERS
The outside will take on a different look in 2002, especially with All-MWC rightside hitter Sunny Mahe
sitting out in 2002 while expecting her first child in November. Mahe is an All-America candidate if she
is on the court and will be greatly missed until she can complete her senior year next season. With
4
(2002 Season Outlook)
Natalie Whittaker lost to graduation, sophomore Lauren Richards is the only outside returning with significant
experience. The versatile 5-foot-11 talent came out of a redshirt season as a setter to play the last 19 matches
as a hitter on the left side, appearing in 63 of 104 total games last year. She averaged 2.38 kills while hitting
.136. A powerful hitter and a premier setter, she showed her potential on the outside with a career-best 20-kill
performance at No. 1 Long Beach State in the regular season finale. Although she played setter on the U.S.
Junior National Team, Richards played outside in high school where she was an All-American and two-time state
MVP at Timpanogos High School in Orem, Utah. In addition to Richards, three other outsides saw some time last
o u t l o o k
year. Sophomores Becky Warnick and Lindsey Steele Metcalf both played in 25 games in 2001 and senior Allison
Larson appeared in 20. The 5-foot-11 Warnick had the most success as a hitter, averaging 1.76 kills and a .168
attack percentage, while the 6-foot Metcalf, who got married over the summer, was the more accomplished blocker but hit only .081. The 6-foot Larson averaged 1.55 kills per game but hit only .053. Warnick and Larson saw
most of their action early in the season prior to Richards coming out of her planned redshirt, while Metcalf earned
some spot time late because of her blocking skill. All three players have shown improvement during the spring
and could play a solid role this season. Redshirt freshman Erin Webb is a 6-foot converted middle who was a
pleasant surprise during the spring with good all-around skills. Three other outsides are new to the program in
2002, including transfer April Varner, who hit .308 as a reserve in 2001 and started in the spring for Long Beach
State before deciding to transfer. The 6-foot sophomore could make an immediate impact for the Cougars. She
hit .440 and averaged five kills per game during LBSU’s spring season. Junior transfer Sahara Castillo comes to
BYU from Ricks College (BYU-Idaho). The 6-foot native of Peru has international experience playing for her
national team. Freshman recruit Kimberly Wilson out of nearby Provo High School has excellent athleticism. The
6-foot freshman could compete for time if she does not redshirt. Filling Mahe’s void on the rightside could be
Metcalf, Castillo, Larson or Varner.
MIDDLE BLOCKERS
With the three-year starting combo of Nina Puikkonen and Jackie Bundy gone in the middle, the Cougars will
look to find some replacements among four middles on the roster. Only one, junior Carrie Bowers, has taken the
court for BYU and she appeared in only nine games last year after playing in just four as a redshirt freshman.
Redshirt freshman Lexi Brown and newcomers Laura Nielsen, a junior transfer from Ricks College (BYU-Idaho),
and Lindsy Lewis, a freshman out of Century High School in Inkom, Idaho, join Bowers. Bowers stands 6-foot2 and is an athletic player. A three-time all-state player at Highland High School (Utah) playing alongside Logan
Tom, Bowers has had the misfortune of injuries and playing behind BYU’s talented middle the past several seasons. After being slowed by foot injuries, she displayed great athleticism in the spring with a solid block and
improved attack. She has the talent to earn a starting role in 2002. Brown, a 6-foot-1 all-state player out of
Jordan High School (Utah) who redshirted last year, has had a year to improve and observe. She showed excellent all-around ability during the spring and is expected to be a solid contributor this season. Nielsen was a sec-

Volleyball)
son in 2000 that included averages of 12.68 assists, 1.22 kills, 1.59 digs and
0.98 blocks per game. She also hit .290, the third best percentage on the team
in 2000. While Puikkonen’s skills are a large part of why BYU has ranked highly in hitting and blocking during her two seasons, she will be without most of the
hitters, including All-American sister Nina, she has set the past two seasons. In
addition to Puikkonen, sophomore Lauren Richards, a former setter on the U.S.
Junior National Team, could see time setting in 2002. Richards, who like
Puikkonen has the size and versatility to also play elsewhere, was among the
nation’s most prized recruits out of high school and could cause the Cougars to
consider a 6-2 attack in 2002. She is one of the most accomplished BYU players with extensive national and international experience, including this past
summer when she was invited to train as a setter with the USA National A2
Program.
DEFENSIVE SPECIALISTS/LIBERO
Two quality back-row players will see time in 2002, including 2001 MWC CoDefensive Specialist of the Year Uila Crabbe. Crabbe, a 5-foot-7 junior totaled
118 digs in conference play and averaged 2.57 digs per game overall. She had
a career-best 17 digs vs. Texas and was a valuable contributor at the service
line, recording four aces twice on her way to 26 aces overall. A solid passer, she
played in every game in 2001 after playing in 16 matches as a freshman.
Senior Michelle Mahaffey appeared in 15 matches, averaging 1.00 digs playing
in 20 games. She could see more time as a senior with the addition of the libero
rule in 2002. Crabbe could also see some time as a libero. Castillo could also
factor in as the libero.

Head Coach
first Season
Karen Curtis Lamb was named head coach of the BYU women’s volleyball program on July 9, 2002,
replacing the legendary Elaine Michaelis. An assistant to Michaelis the past eight seasons, Lamb brings
to her new responsibilities 18 years of collegiate coaching experience, including nine years as a head
coach, and two years coaching with the U.S. National Team.
Lamb is only the third person to head BYU’s program, joining Michaelis (1962-2002) and JoAnne
karen
lamb
Calderwood (1956-61). Michaelis retired in May 2002 after 40 years at the Cougar helm ranked No. 2
all-time in NCAA Division I women’s volleyball wins with an 887-225-5 (.796) record.
In nine years as a head coach, four in junior college and five at the Division I level, Lamb has totaled a
195-123 (.613) overall record while bringing success to each program. Her accomplishments include an
NJCAA national championship and national coach of the year honors. As an assistant coach at BYU the
past eight seasons, she helped coach seven All-Americans while the Cougars won five conference titles,
achieved a 207-51 (.802) overall record, and played in eight NCAA tournaments, including three regional final appearances among five trips to the regional semifinals.
Lamb’s opportunity at BYU is her first with a well-established program. In her five prior seasons as a
Division I head coach, Lamb took over new or struggling programs and turned them into winners. She
owns a 90-94 (.489) record in her five seasons as a Division I head coach at UNLV and Washington
State.
Lamb began her coaching career in 1978, serving as an assistant to Michaelis after completing her AllAmerican playing career (1974-77) at BYU. After teaching math at Casa Grande High School in Casa
Grande, Ariz., for one year, Lamb took her first volleyball head coaching job in 1980 at Central Arizona
College in Coolidge, Ariz. During her four years (1980-83) at the helm, she achieved a 105-29 (.784)
record and was named 1983 NJCAA Coach of the Year after guiding her team to the 1983 NJCAA title.
In 1984, Lamb was hired at UNLV, accepting the challenge of restarting the Rebels’ volleyball program
after its three-year absence. She coached two seasons in Las Vegas, earning a 39-34 (.534) mark,
including a 23-17 record in her first season in 1984. In 1986, she accepted another daunting task when
she took over a Washington State program that was just entering the Pac-10 Conference after suffering
through four consecutive single-digit victory seasons. In spite of the challenging circumstances, she posted a 51-60 (.460) record in her three seasons (1986-88) in Pullman, culminated with the program’s first
winning season in 10 years with a 22-17 record in 1988. Despite her success, Lamb decided to leave her
position to care for her young family, moving to San Diego where her husband Barry was hired as an
assistant football coach.
While in San Diego, Lamb worked as a clinician (1989), clinic director (1990) and assistant coach
(1990-92) for the U.S.A. Women’s National Team, which went on to earn the Bronze Medal in the 1992
Barcelona Summer Olympics. In 1994, Lamb returned to BYU as a volunteer assistant before being
hired as an assistant coach in 1997.
In addition to her college and national-level coaching experience, Lamb has been a pioneer in developing grass-roots volleyball. She founded the first junior volleyball programs in both Arizona and Nevada
and has served as the director and owner of Excel Volleyball Camps since the program’s inception in
1975. Lamb’s camps are administered each summer to more than 500 girls age 12 and older in
California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
As a player, Lamb was the top of her class. She holds the distinction of being BYU’s first female schol-

Awards
.777 single-match attack percentage. She once served 15 straight points to deliver a start-to-finish game
victory against Weber State.
In 1989, Lamb was recognized by her alma mater for her many accomplishments, being inducted into
the BYU Athletic Hall of Fame.
Lamb has served as a member of the BYU Coaches Advisory Committee and as an executive board member of Intermountain Volleyball Association High Performance since 1999. She also currently serves as

mountain west conference
In the three-year history of the Mountain West Conference, BYU has claimed 37 of 57 conference championships. That’s 65 percent of all championships
awarded in the eight-member conference. BYU has also won four NCAA Championships since the formation of the MWC.
"We’re proud of the way our teams have performed
against national and conference competition. We have set
a standard of winning because of our talented coaches
and student-athletes. We expect that standard to continue."
– BYU women’s athletic director Elaine Michaelis
he Mountain West Conference, which officially commenced operations on July 1,
1999, was conceived on May 26, 1998, when
eight teams – Utah, Air Force, Brigham Young,
Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State,
UNLV and Wyoming – met in Denver and decided
to form the MWC.
T
The cornerstone of the conference’s formation was
the maintainance of long-standing athletic rivalries among its member institutions. Located in
Colorado Springs, Colo., the conference office and
its member schools boast some of the most beautiful geography in the nation, including the unparalleled Rocky Mountain range, which borders four
MWC schools (Utah, BYU, Air Force and
Colorado State). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,000 feet) contrast with the desert city of
Las Vegas (the fastest growing metropolitan area
in the West), the balmy weather and Pacific Ocean
locale of San Diego State and the southwestern
flavor of New Mexico.
The Mountain West Conference is under the guidance of Commissioner Craig Thompson. On
52
February 1, 1999, ESPN, Inc. and the Mountain
West announced a seven-year, $48 million agreement giving ESPN exclusive national television
rights to MWC football and men's basketball.
Highlights through the MWC’s first three years
include two women’s cross country national championships, being the only conference with multiple
bowl games to go unbeaten in the 2000 postseason
– posting a 3-0 mark, participation in nine bowl
games, sending five of eight teams to postseason
bowls, one of two conferences in 2002 to send 75
percent of its men’s basketball teams to postseason
play, eight berths in the NCAA Women’s Basketball
Tournament, and two teams advancing to the
NCAA Volleyball Tournament “Sweet 16” every
year the league has been in existence. The MWC set
new marks for attendance and tickets sold for its
Basketball Championships at the Thomas & Mack
Center in Las Vegas, Nev.
In addition to the 19 MWC-sponsored sports, programs like Utah and BYU have national titles in
non-league sports – women’s gymnastics, skiing
and men’s volleyball. BYU has won NCAA titles in
men’s track, football, men’s golf, men’s volleyball
and women’s cross country. The Cougars, in fact,
have boasted five national titles in the past five seasons, winning the cross country crowns in 1997,
1999 and 2001 and the men’s volleyball title in
1999 and 2001.
In the two year history of the Mountain West
Conference, BYU has won 65 percent of all championships awarded in the eight-member league.
Including football, BYU has claimed 37 of 57 conference championships. During the 2000-01 season, BYU claimed 16 of the 18 MWC Tournament
titles (men’s cross country, women’s cross country,
women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, men’s swimming and diving, women’s swimming and diving,
men’s indoor track and field, women’s indoor track
and field, men’s basketball, men’s tennis, women’s
tennis, men’s golf, softball, baseball, men’s outdoor
track and field, women’s outdoor track and field).
Among the nation’s best overall athletic programs,
BYU annually finished among the nation’s top 20 in
the Sears Directors Cup standings.
(Mountain West Conference)
MWC VOLLEYBALL NOTABLES
After ranking as one of the top leagues in the
nation in its first three years, the Mountain West
Conference will begin its fourth season of competition with aspirations for continued success on a
national level. The MWC sent a record four teams
to the 2001 NCAA Tournament and was one of just
five conferences to have multiple teams in the
Sweet 16 three straight years. Three MWC teams
have been ranked in the final USA Today Top 25
poll the past two years, and after producing 11 AllAmericans in three seasons, the MWC will look to
build on its volleyball tradition in 2002.
MWC PRESEASON VOLLEYBALL COACHES POLL
In a vote of the eight head coaches in the Mountain
West Conference, Utah is the favorite to win the
2002 title after earning six first-place votes and
48 points. Defending regular season champion
Colorado State was second with 40 points, edging
BYU with 39 points. San Diego State was picked
fourth for the third straight year, followed by
UNLV, Wyoming, New Mexico and Air Force.
THREE TEAMS RANKED IN USA
TODAY/AVCA PRESEASON POLL
Utah earned a No. 11 ranking in the 2002
Volleyball Magazine preseason poll. The Utes
closed out the 2001 season at No. 15 in the final
2001 USA Today/AVCA top 25 after making the
school's first Sweet 16 appearance. BYU and
Colorado State were ranked No. 21 and No. 27,
respectively, by Volleyball Magazine.
MWC CHAMPIONSHIP BACK IN FORT COLLINS
The Mountain West Conference Championship
returns to Fort Collins and Moby Arena in 2002.
The Rams, who played in the tournament finals
each of the past three seasons, hosted the 2000
MWC Championship. All eight MWC teams will
meet at Moby Arena Nov. 21-23, and after producing three different conference tournament
champions the past three years, the 2002 championship should be a good one.
NEW TO THE MWC COACHING RANKS
The Mountain West Conference will have three
new faces on the court this season. BYU announced
the hiring of Karen Lamb to replace coaching legend Elaine Michaelis, who will continue her role as
women's athletic director at BYU. Michaelis
retired as one of college volleyball's all-time winningest coaches with a record of 887-225 in 33
seasons. Her 887 wins ranks second all-time for
victories. Lamb, an assistant under Michaelis for
the last eight seasons, has a career record of 9094 after head coaching stints at UNLV and
Washington State.
Kelley Sliva will guide the New Mexico program,
while Jim Barnes steps in to lead the Wyoming
program. Sliva posted a 143-104 record at
Northern Arizona, while leading the Lumberjacks
to a remarkable turnaround, including the school's
first NCAA berth in 1999. Barnes enters the
Cowgirl program with a record of 128-71 after six
seasons at Lamar, culminating in a 26-5 record
and a conference title last season.
MORE ON MWC COACHES
Mountain West Conference coaches enter this season with a combined 1,225 victories and 69 years
experience on the bench. MWC coaches have
earned their share of awards, including Utah's
Beth Launiere who garnered AVCA West Region
Coach of the Year honors last season. Colorado
State head coach Tom Hilbert has been named conference coach of the year eight times in his 13-year
career, including three straight with the MWC.
ALL-AMERICAN HONORS
The Mountain West Conference produced four AllAmerica selections last year and two return for the
2002 season. UNLV's Sheila Ocasio-Clemente was
named to the Volleyball Magazine Freshman AllAmerica team, while Utah's Kim Turner earned
Volleyball Magazine honorable mention. In its first
three seasons, the Mountain West Conference has
produced a total of 11 All-Americans.
RETURNING ALL-MWC PERFORMERS
Seven All-Mountain West players return for the
2002 season along with Freshman of the Year
Sheila Ocasio-Clemente (So., MB) of UNLV.
Ocasio-Clemente ranked second in the nation in
blocks last year at 1.92 per game. The Rebels also
return Blair Wilkes (Sr., OH) to the front row.
Wilkes ranked second in the league with a .365
hitting percentage a year ago. Utah returns a talented front line, led by Kim Turner (Jr., MB), last
year's MVP at the conference tournament, and
Sylva Strzinkova (Sr., OH). Turner, a two-time allconference performer, ranked fourth in the MWC
for hitting percentage (.346) and third in blocks
(1.50 per game), while Strzinkova ranked in the
league's top 10 for digs and kills. BYU junior
Karina Puikkonen returns as one of the top setters
in the conference after ranking second in the
league with 12.65 assists per game. Junior defensive specialist Uila Crabbe returns to the back row
for BYU after averaging 2.57 digs per game. San
Diego State returns scoring threat Robyn Gregg
(Jr., DS/S). Gregg set an MWC record and ranked
fifth nationally with .78 service aces per game.

HOME COOKIN'
Colorado State went unbeaten at home for the second time in three years with a 15-0 record last season, while Utah matched that feat with an identical 15-0 mark at Crimson Court in 2001. The past
three years, the Rams are 51-1 (.981) at Moby
Arena, while the Utes are 33-6 (.846) at home,
including a 25-2 mark the past two seasons. BYU
has made it difficult for the opposition at Smith
Fieldhouse, posting a 41-5 (.891) record the past
three years. Overall, the MWC was 64-37 (.634)
on the home court in 2001. The MWC at home the

PLAYING THE NATION'S BEST
Mountain West teams are 3-3 vs. a No. 1-ranked
opponent the past two years. Overall, the MWC has
a two-year record of 13-21 vs. top 25 teams,
including a 13-11 mark for MWC teams in the
national polls. The 2000 campaign was a hallmark
year for the MWC as Utah (def. Stanford), BYU
(def. Stanford) and Colorado State (def. UCLA)
each defeated a No. 1-ranked opponent. In the
2002 season, Mountain West teams have 25 nonconference matches vs. teams ranked in the final
2001 USA Today/AVCA Top 25 poll, and another
47 matches vs. 2001 NCAA Tournament teams.
Highlighting the schedule are six matchups vs.
2001 Final Four teams Stanford, Long Beach
State and Arizona.
ALL-TIME HIGH FOR ATTENDANCE
The Mountain West Conference topped 94,000
fans last season, and average attendance went
from 783 in 2000 to an all-time high of 925 in
2001. Colorado State led the league and ranked
fourth nationally with 2,847 fans per contest in
2001. BYU was 19th nationally with an average of
1,316. The MWC has been ranked sixth in the
nation for attendance the past three years. Listed

EXCELLENCE
BYU’s tremendous success on the court over
the years has helped produced many
conference award winners wearing BYU blue.
Amazingly, since recognition was first
given for conference player of the year
in 1984 with the HCAC and freshman
of the year honors was started in 1990
by the WAC, a BYU player has been
named Player of the Year or Freshman
of the Year in every season except the
inaugural year in 1984, 2000, and
2001 year.
In all, nine BYU athletes have been
set apart as the best player in the conference — earning a total of 14
awards. Six Cougars have been named

the top freshman in the conference
(WAC & MWC) in the 11 years of the
award.
BYU has had all-conference performers on each team dating back to 1976.
In all but two seasons, 1995 and
1991, at least two Cougars have been
named to the All-Conference First
Team. Last year BYU had four AllMWC players.
Fifty-nine conference player of the
week awards have been earned by
P L A Y E R S
BYU players since 1986. In that 16
year span, BYU has had at least one
player of the week award winner each
season. Last year, junior Sunny Mahe
was honored twice and senior Nina
Puikkonen was recognized once.
Elaine Michaelis received eight conference coach of the year awards.
Most recently, she earned the WAC
honor four times in five years from
1993 to 1997. She retired in May
2002 after 40 seasons at the helm.

THE MICHAELIS RECORD
In the world of collegiate volleyball, few schools have a
volleyball tradition as successful and rich as the history
of the sport at BYU.
BYU’s winning tradition was developed under the guidance of one of the nation’s top coaches, Elaine
Michaelis, who retired from coaching in May 2002 after guiding the Cougar program for 40 years.
The Cougars have never suffered a losing season and have won 20 or more matches in each of the past
28 seasons. They have won 23 conference titles and appeared in 30 of 33 national championship tournaments, including 20 of 21 NCAA tournaments. BYU has finished in the top five of the AIAW national championships four times, made the round of eight at the NCAA tournament eight times and the
NCAA Final Four once.
Individually, 20 Cougars have received 58 All-America awards, including nine AVCA/CVCA First
Team, six Volleyball Magazine First Team, and four Academic All-America First Team.
Women’s volleyball was first formerly organized at BYU as one of four women’s sports to compete
against other four-year Utah schools beginning in 1949 with “Sports Days.” In 1956, a bigger push
was made to increase participation of women’s sports in regional tournaments. With the push, BYU
hired JoAnne Calderwood to coach the volleyball squad and other women’s teams and she did so until
leaving BYU in 1961. The women’s programs were taken over by one of her former players,
Michaelis, who prepared the Cougars for national competition, which began in 1969.
Second all-time in Division I victories, Michaelis achieved an 887-225-5 (.796) mark over the 33 seasons that records were maintained at BYU beginning in 1969. She guided her teams to a dominating
356-37 (.906) overall conference record and the distinction of winning the inaugural conference title
in each of BYU’s five leagues. In 1999, the Cougars won the regular-season championship in the first
season in the Mountain West Conference and in 2000 placed second before upsetting No. 4 Colorado
State on its home court to win the MWC tournament title.
BYU’s national tournament record is 73-44 (.624). The Cougars have had 10 top-five and 19 top-10
national placements. BYU’s best finishes were second place in 1973, fourth place in 1978, and an
NCAA semifinal appearance in 1993. In BYU’s 20 trips to the NCAA tournament the Cougars haveplaced 3rd once, 5th seven times, 9th six times, and 17th five times.

The Elaine Michaelis Era
Legendary Head
Coach Retires
after 40 Years.
Elaine Michaelis guided BYU’s women’s volleyball
program for 40 seasons before retiring from coaching in May 2002. She remains BYU’s Director of
Women’s Athletics, a position she has held the past
seven seasons, overseeing one of the country’s most
successful intercollegiate women’s athletic programs.
A legend in the coaching profession, Michaelis
retired as the all-time leader in victories among
female coaches in collegiate volleyball at any level
with 887 wins (in 33 seasons since volleyball
records were maintained at BYU in 1969). She
ranks second overall in Division I women’s volleyball victories, trailing only UCLA’s Andy
Banachowski (919 in 35 seasons). Only six other
female coaches (all softball coaches) have ever
achieved more wins than Michaelis in an NCAA
Division I sport.
Respected throughout the collegiate volleyball world
for her exception volleyball mind, Michaelis was
always gracious and dignified before, during and
after matches. Her teams were always well prepared
for opponents and played under control during the
matches. While compiling an overall record of 887225-5 (.796), Michaelis never suffered a losing season. With last year’s 20-9 mark, Michaelis com-
“With Elaine’s retirement from coaching, she leaves
an immense legacy that will, quite possibly, never be
matched. Elaine is both an excellent coach and an
excellent administrator. Her experience, dedication
and devotion to women’s athletics is also what
makes Elaine such a fine administrator.“
K. Fred Skousen
BYU Advancement Vice President
pleted her 28th consecutive 20-win season while
advancing to her 12th straight NCAA tournament.
Overall, her teams qualified for 30 of the 33 national tournaments, including 20 of 21 NCAA tournaments. Her 1972-73 team finished as the national
runner-up and her 1993 squad became the first
BYU team to qualify for an NCAA Final Four.
Michaelis achieved a national tournament record of
73-44 (.624), including the ninth-best NCAA record
of any school at 26-20 (.565). Only four teams have
played in more NCAA tournaments.
Against conference competition, Michaelis’ teams
were dominating, earning an incredible 356-37
(.906) record. She holds the distinction of winning
the inaugural championship in each of the five
leagues in which the Cougars have been volleyball
members, including the inaugural Mountain West
Conference title in 1999 (with 13-1 league record).
Overall, her teams claimed 23 conference titles.
Bringing in top-flight talent and teaching sound fundamental volleyball resulted in BYU players earning
many honors during Michaelis’ tenure. Under her
tutelage, 18 players earned 51 All-America awards,
including nine AVCA/CVCA and six Volleyball m a g azine first-team honors. Six players earned national
player honors, including Mariliisa Salmi, the 1986
CVCA National Player of the Year. Four athletes
e a rned seven Verizon Academic All-America awards.
Also recognized on numerous occasions, Michaelis
was honored by her peers as conference coach of the
year eight times — once in the Intermountain
Athletic Conference, three times in the High
Country Athletic Conference and four times in the
Western Athletic Conference. She was named the
1987 Tachikara Northwest Region Division I Coach
of the Year and the 1996 NCAA District 7 Coach of
the Year. She was inducted into the Utah Summer
Games Hall of Fame in 1987, the Hall of Fame of
the Utah Network for Women and Girls in Sport in
67
(2002
Volleyball)
1990, and was one of three honorees of the Salt Lake City Old Time Coaches
Association in 1993. She was the 1994 recipient of the Dale Rex Memorial
Award, an honor given annually by the BYU Cougar Club to the person who
has contributed the most to amateur athletics in Utah.
For her years of dedication, Michaelis received the Volleyball Festival
Distinguished Service to U.S. Volleyball Award in 1993. She also accepted
the American Volleyball Coaches Association Founders Award, which honors
individuals who have been involved in the advancements of volleyball for at
least 15 years, at the 1996 AVCA Coach of the Year luncheon. In 2001, USA
Volleyball honored Michaelis with its All-Time Great Coach Award.
Michaelis has been part
of BYU’s women’s athletics program since she was
a student participating in
volleyball, basketball and
softball from 1956-60.
An excellent athlete, she
once pitched a no-hitter
and two one-hitters on
the same day during a
regional softball tourn ament at the University of
Colorado in 1959. Aft e r
graduating with a B.S.
degree in physical education in 1960, she was
hired to coach several of
BYU’s women’s teams in
1961. She went on to
obtain a M.S. degree in
physical education from BYU in 1962 and holds the rank of associate professor of physical education and full athletic professional.
As a coach and administrator at BYU, Michaelis has constantly worked not
only to improve the BYU program but also to improve collegiate volleyball as
a whole – serving as an NAGWS and NCAA clinician, chair of the AIAW
Volleyball Sports Committee, and chair of the Volleyball Rules Committee.
She was a member of the AIAW Executive Committee for five years, chair of
the National Ethics and Eligibility Committee for AIAW, and served a term on
the AIAW Rules and Standards Committee. She currently serves on the
Mountain West Conference television and championships committees as well
as the BYU Advancement Council.
Michaelis served simultaneously as both a head coach and the Cougars’ top
administrator for seven seasons. Consistently ranked among the top 10
women’s programs in the country, BYU’s women’s teams won six conference
titles in 2002 and nine advanced to NCAA play, with cross country achieving
its third national championship in the last five years.

basketball coach until 1977, logging an intercollegiate record of 48-34 from
1972-1977. She also served as director of the women's intramural and extramural programs at BYU for 10 years.

approached, Michaelis had her volleyball team poised to be a national contender. At the inaugural AIAW national volleyball tournament during the
1969-70
season,
Michaelis coached the
Cougars to a seventh
place finish. Her 19721973 team finished as

2001 SUMMARY
BYU finished 22nd in the final AVCA
poll and achieved its 28th consecutive
20-win season in 2001 as head coach
Elaine Michaelis guided the Cougars
to a 20-9 record and an NCAA tournament appearance in what proved to
be hear final season after 40 years at
the helm. The Cougars struggled at
times but brought Michaelis her 20th
NCAA tournament invite in 21 years
and helped her finish her career
ranked first among female coaches
and second all-time in Division I wins
at 887 victories. BYU had a preseason No. 11 ranking and started strong
with a 9-1 record and wins over top25 teams Colorado, Utah and UC
Santa Barbara. After stumbling midseason due in part to injuries and illnesses, including All-American Nina
Puikkonen’s on-going recovery from a
leg injury, BYU struggled to maintain
consistency. BYU finished the 2001
MWC play in third place with a 10-4
conference record. Four MWC teams
advanced to the NCAA. BYU lost to
Utah State in Salt Lake City in a
closely fought five-game first-round
match.
Sunny
Mahe
earned
AVCA/Sports Imports National
Player of the Week honors (Oct. 1).
Four BYU players were named to the
2001 All-Mountain West Conference
Volleyball Team – sisters Nina and
Karina Puikkonen, Mahe and Uila
Crabbe. Crabbe was named MWC CoDefensive Specialist. BYU's 2001 roster featured three seniors, Nina
Puikkonen, Jackie Bundy and Natalie
Whittaker, all of whom were starters.
Nina Puikkonen capped off her AllAmerican career by averaging a conference-best 4.24 kills per game. She
had her fourth career triple-double
with career highs of 32 kills and 20
digs along with a season-high 11
blocks versus Cal Poly SLO on Nov.
23. She passed Gale Johnson for fifth
in all-time kills at BYU (1720). She
also passed former BYU AllAmerican and U.S. National Team
member Amy Steele Gant for second
all-time in total blocks (806) and
block assists (701) and is the school’s
all-time leader in blocks per game.
Natalie Whittaker led the MWC with
3.04 digs per game. The 2001 season
also marked end of traditional sideout
scoring and the beginning of rally
scoring games to 30 in collegiate
women’s volleyball.

SUMMARY
No.8 BYU played a typically strong
schedule facing seven top-20 teams in
the first month. After an 8-4 preseason record, BYU went 13-1 to win its
second consecutive WAC Mountain
Division title. Once again the WAC
Tournament championship match pitted BYU against Hawaii, the undefeated Pacific Division Champions.
The Cougars won 15-6, 15-6, 15-8 to
capture their second consecutive WAC
Tournament title.
After a first-round NCAA bye, the
Cougars defeated Minnesota at subregional play in Provo and Texas A&M
in an exciting marathon match in the
East Regional semifinals. Midway
through the match, however, Caroline
Steuer reinjured her knee and could
not continue to play. BYU lost to No.
2 Penn State on their home court for
a chance to make the final four. BYU
finished tied for 5th-place in the
nation at 29-6.

1996 SUMMARY
The WAC expanded to 16 teams in
1996. BYU was in the Mountain
Division along with Utah, New
Mexico, UTEP, SMU, TCU, Rice and
Tulsa. Against a tough preseason
schedule, BYU only won two of its
first eight matches — the worst start
in its history. But the Cougars went on
a 20-match winning streak and reappeared in the AVCA top 25 after
defeating Oklahoma in November.
After winning the mountain division,
the scrappy 25th-ranked Cougars
upset No.3-ranked Hawaii (6-15, 1511, 15-13, 16-18, 15-8) at the MGM
Hotel in Las Vegas to win the WAC
To u rnament title.
After a first-round NCAA Tournament
bye, then 19th-ranked BYU defeated
No. 18 Washington in Provo to
advance to the NCAA Mountain
Regional in Honolulu. BYU defeated
No. 11 Pacific, a team that had beaten BYU in September. Host Hawaii
swept BYU in front of 10,000 fans,
ending the Cougars’ 25-match winning streak. BYU finished with a 27-7
record. Coach Michaelis was named
the District VII Coach of the Year and
was presented with the 1996 AVCA
Founders Award.

cover BYU women’s sports. BYU won
the inaugural WAC title, Tea
Nieminen was named WAC Player of
the Year, and Tumua Matu’u was
named Freshman of the Year. Four of
the six WAC volleyball teams made

The Cougars finished second in the
HCAC with a 10-2 record. Their
longest winning streak of the season

BYU did not receive one of the 17 atlarge spots determined by the committee — the only year BYU has not participated in the NCAA Tournament.
Two early season losses to unranked
Idaho State and BYU-Hawaii came
back to haunt the Cougars.

2001 Season Re v i e w
Season Proves to be the Last
for Legendary Coach Elaine Michaelis
BYU achieved its 28th consecutive 20-win season in 2001 as head coach Elaine Michaelis guided the
Cougars to a 20-9 record and an NCAA tournament appearance. For the tradition-rich Cougar program,
the season was full of ups and downs before finishing the season ranked 22nd in the final AVCA poll.
In what would prove to be the final season for the legendary coach after 40 years at the helm, the 2001
team struggled at times but brought Michaelis her 20th NCAA tournament invite in 21 years and helped
her finish her career ranked first among female coaches and second all-time in Division I wins at 887
victories. Michaelis retired from coaching in May 2002.
With a talent-laden line up featuring All-American Nina Puikkonen, All-West Region Sunny Mahe and
All-MWC players Jackie Bundy and Karina Puikkonen, the defending 2000 Mountain West Conference
champions had a preseason No. 11 ranking and were primed for a big season.
The Cougars started the season strong and the month of September proved prognosticators true, as BYU
dominated with a 9-1 record, which included seven 3-0 sweeps, and wins over then top-25 teams
Colorado, Utah and UC Santa Barbara.
On Oct. 5, the Cougars elected to strengthen their attack by bringing freshman Fab 50 recruit Lauren
Richards out of redshirt season. Richards sat out the first 10 matches of the season, and had been practicing as a setter, but she immediately stepped into the starting lineup as an outside hitter. Richards
quickly displayed her potential, and she later put up a career-high 20 kills against No. 1 Long Beach
State on Nov. 24.
After stumbling mid-season due in part to injuries and illnesses, including Nina Puikkonen’s on-going
recovery from a summer leg injury, BYU struggled to maintain consistency. Despite the Cougars’ struggles, they continued to rack up wins.
BYU finished the 2001 MWC play in third place with a 10-4 conference record. Amazingly, the thirdplace finish marked only the second time in the history of BYU’s program that the Cougars had not
earned a first- or second-place conference regular season finish. BYU also finished third in 1978.
BYU beat Wyoming in three games in the first match of the MWC tournament being hosted at the Smith
Fieldhouse. Facing Utah in the semifinals, BYU fell in four close games. The Utes advanced to the championship match and defeated No. 1-seed Colorado State for the league tournament title. In addition to

HIGHLIGHTS/AWARDS
the automatic bid awarded to Utah, three other MWC teams were invited to play in the NCAA tournament,
including nationally ranked Colorado State and BYU and fourth-place San Diego State.
Cougars in Conference Stats
Team:
Only one of eight teams with 20 NCAA appearances, BYU returned to NCAA tournament play for the 12th
straight year, but its season was ended in the first round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since
1991. The Cougars faced Utah State in Salt Lake City and lost a closely fought five-game match to the instate Aggies.
During the season, Sunny Mahe earned AVCA/Sports Imports National Player of the Week honors once
(Oct. 1), and was named MWC Player of the Week twice (Sept. 3 and Oct. 1). Nina Puikkonen was named
MWC Co-Player of the Week once (Oct. 29).

Four BYU players were named to the 2001 All-Mountain West Conference Volleyball Team. Sisters Nina
(senior middle blocker) and Karina Puikkonen (sophomore setter) and Sunny Mahe (junior rightside hitter)
earned all-conference honors for the second straight year and Uila Crabbe (sophomore defensive specialist) was a first-time honoree. Crabbe was named MWC Co-Defensive Specialist. Hailing from Miliani,
Hawai’i, Crabbe totaled 118 digs in league play as a defensive specialist.
BYU's 2001 roster featured three seniors, Nina Puikkonen, Jackie Bundy and Natalie Whittaker, all of
whom were starters.
Nina Puikkonen capped off her All-American career by averaging a conference-best 4.24 kills per game.
She also ranked second in blocks (1.59), and eighth in attack percentage (.292) to go with 2.33 digs a
game. She had her fourth career triple-double with career highs of 32 kills and 20 digs along with a season-high 11 blocks versus Cal Poly SLO on Nov. 23. She finished with 441 kills on the season, and passed
Gale Johnson for fifth in all-time kills at BYU (1720). She also passed former BYU All-American and U.S.
National Team member Amy Steele Gant for second all-time in total blocks (806) and block assists (701)
and is the school’s all-time leader in blocks per game (1.87). She also recorded a team-high 13 doubledoubles in 2001.
Bundy finished the season averaging 3.02 kills and 2.03 digs per game with a .198 attack percentage. Her
1.10 blocks ranked ninth in the conference. Bundy had her first career triple-double in BYU’s win over No.
23 Colorado on Sept. 6, in the BYU Mizuno Classic. She totaled 15 kills, 12 digs and a season-high 10
blocks on the night.
Whittaker led the MWC in digs with 3.04 digs per game. She played in all 104 games and added 1.91 kills
per game while hitting .227.

Excellent Learning Environment
The 2001 National Survey of Student Engagement
places BYU in the 90th percentile for its level of
academic challenge, also ranking it in the 99th percentile in providing a supportive campus environment
– one that fosters active and collaborative learning.
It’s no surprise that our graduates leave BYU with
the skills and desire to make meaningful contributions all across the globe. Furthering their education
in a highly supportive environment, an impressive
number of undergraduates have the chance to
become involved in research that enhances their
course work. The BYU experience ensures that students are well prepared to pursue advanced degrees,
enjoying strong acceptance rates into leading graduate programs. BYU graduates are also highly
recruited among top employers.
A Beautiful Campus Setting
Quality Professional Preparation
Exceptional Academics
BYU ranks among the top 20 in National Merit
scholars enrolled; among the nation’s leaders in
National Science Foundation fellowships (and
fellows who go on to earn science and engineering doctorates); third among accounting programs; fourth in the number of Advanced
Placement examination scores; and among the
top 10 percent in nursing programs. BYU students garner distinction as Fullbright scholars,
Mellon fellows, and Barry M. Goldwater scholars. The University consistently achieves national
recognition. U.S. News & World Report ranks
BYU’s law and business schools among the top
50 in the United States.
A strong curriculum delivered by outstanding
faculty is key to the academic excellence of BYU
graduates. From business management to nursing, from the humanities to engineering, the university’s eleven colleges–supported by comprehensive offerings from Religious Education–continue to be internationally recognized for the
quality of their education and the professional
preparation they provide. In addition to the chal-
BYU is located 45 miles south of Salt Lake City
in Provo, Utah, a city of more than 110,000 situated 4,500 feet above sea level. The campus sits
at the western base of the Wasatch Mountains,
part of the Rocky Mountain Range. Surrounded
by mountains, Provo is at the heart of Utah Valley
with a combined population of over 365,000.
Utah Valley is framed by the 23-mile-long Utah
Lake on the west and 11,750-foot Mount
Timpanogos on the east.
lenging course work and hands-on research,
numerous programs offer academic and service
outreach opportunities. Study-abroad centers,
distance-learning courses, and worldwide performing-arts tours are a few of the offerings that
enrich BYU’s academic experience.
“It is our goal to make Brigham Young University a
light to the world, discovering and sharing knowledge
for the public good and for individual happiness.”

BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY
Outstanding Student Body
BYU students arrive with superb preparation. The entering class has an
average high school GPA of 3.7 (on a 4.0 scale) and an average ACT
score that ranks in the 89th percentile nationally. The university consistently places in the top 20 for enrollment of National Merit Scholars. In
addition to their academic excellence, students bring and share high values and ideals. Students come to BYU from all 50 states and more than
110 countries, bringing many international cultures and experiences to the
campus.
Nearly half of these scholars have lived outside the United States,
and three-fourths are fluent in at least two languages. The variety of cultures and backgrounds, coupled with an institutional commitment to the
gospel of Jesus Christ, adds to an already rich academic experience that
challenges the mind while feeding the spirit.
International Center of Learning
BYU has been selected as a Center for International Business Education
Research (CIBER), a program designated to promote the competitiveness of
United States business through an integrated international curriculum, faculty and student international research and outreach programs. BYU’s
David M. Kennedy Center for International Studies provides support to colleges and departments in pursuing their international interests.
According to the Institute of International Education, BYU sends
more students on study abroad programs than any university in the nation,
with more than 1,900 students participating in one or more of the 50
BYU Study Abroad and International Internship programs available.
Distinguished Faculty
Faculty members hold advanced degrees from universities around the
world. Their achievements are compelling and broad-ranging as they pursue
consequential research–work that is making a real difference. Alleviating
hunger worldwide through more efficient agriculture, finding low- p o l l u t i o n
energy alternatives, and making significant contributions to the strengthening of families are among their many pursuits. Faculty members are regularly called upon to head national and international professional organizations and to consult with corporate and governmental entities. Above all,
these high-principled men and women share an unmatched devotion to
bringing the best possible education to their students.

National Rankings and Recognition
According to the National Science Foundation (NSF), BYU ranks 29th out of more than 2,000 universities in the
number of graduate students who go on to receive science and engineering doctorates. BYU consistently ranks among
the nation’s leaders in the number of students who win NSF fellowships. In the National Merit Scholarship
Corporation’s annual ranking of colleges and universities enrolling freshman Merit Scholars, BYU ranked 18th in the
nation with its enrollment of 115 freshman Merit Scholars in 2000-2001. When U.S. News and World Report ranked
national graduate programs in March 2001, the J. Reuben Clark Law School was ranked 38th among the top 50 law
schools in the nation, and the Marriott School of Management’s graduate business program was ranked 44th among
the top 50 business schools. BYU’s graduate and undergraduate accounting programs have also been recognized for
their excellence, consistently holding high rankings in the Public Accounting Report’s Annual Survey of Accounting
Professors, with each placing third in August 2001. Newsnet, an integrated campus news service that includes on-line
news, won recognition as the best college on-line news service in the nation for the third year in a row, receiving the
2001 EPpy Award at the Editor & Publisher’s 12th Annual Interactive Newspapers Conference & Trade Show. BYU is
also the first university to win all four categories of competition at the National Association of Home Builders annual
competitions, with students in BYU’s Construction Management program consistently winning top honors in all categories of competition including both individual and team events.
Technological Advantage: BYU’s “Wired” Campus
Ranked among the top 5 of Yahoo! Internet Life’s “America’s Most Wired Colleges,” BYU has 100 percent of its dorms
wired for the internet and 60 percent of its classrooms wired. BYU students have access to a wide range of technology
products, services and support through the use of on-campus ethernet connections and Technology Enhanced Classrooms
(TEC Rooms). Both the law and business schools require students to own laptops. Potential and current students have
access to electronic application for admission, online transcripts, registration and course schedules.
Honor Code
BYU exists to provide a university education in an atmosphere consistent with the principles of the Church of Jesus
Christ. This environment is preserved through adherence to a code of conduct, called the Honor Code, that reflects those
ideals. The Honor Code emphasizes being honest, living a
chaste and virtuous life, abstaining from alcohol and tobacco,
using clean language and adhering to other values encompassed
in the doctrines of the Church. The code is supplemented by
additional guidelines on dress, grooming and housing.
“BYU is one of Ford’s top sources of business
talent. The students are bright, well-trained,
and internationally astute—and they have
great leadership skills. BYU has been one of
Ford’s hidden gems for the last 30 years.”

athletic facilities
BYU's athletic facilities are among the best in the nation. From the Smith Fieldhouse that is home to BYU’s nationally ranked
women’s and national champion men’s volleyball teams to the nationally acclaimed track and spacious Marriott Center to the
top-notch weight rooms, much of the success of the BYU athletic program can be attributed to the quality facilities available to
athletes on campus.

THE SMITH FIELDHOUSE
Top Five Home Crowds
HOME OF THE COUGARS
The Smith Fieldhouse is one of the finest volleyball
facilities in the nation. In addition to being home
to BYU’s annual schedule of top-quality teams visiting Provo, the Smith Fieldhouse has also been
the sight of many NCAA Tournament matches over
the years.
The Smith Fieldhouse has a capacity for 5,000
spectators and provides a great viewing opportunity. Since the early 1990s, attendance at Cougar
matches averages 1,1000 fans per match. The
Cougars have averaged more than 1,300 the past
three seaons.
Located on campus, the Smith Fieldhouse is a very
well-maintained facility that also houses three
basketball courts, an artificial turf west annex big

enough for spring batting practice and a one-fifth
mile rubberized indoor track.
In addition to being the home to the vast majority
of BYU’s coaches and athletic administrators,
including the BYU volleyball coaching staff and
women’s athletic department, the Smith
Fieldhouse includes an athletic training facility,
locker rooms for BYU’s intercollegiate athletes,
and a state-of-the-art strength and conditioning
center.
The Athletic Media Relations offices are located at
30 Smith Fieldhouse, providing convenient access
to media-related services upon the completion of a

athletic training facilities
BYU's athletic training
staff is responsible for the
care of student-athletes
from the time they arrive
on campus, aiding in the
prevention of injuries.
When student-athletes do
get injured, they are treated by one of the nation's
most qualified athletic
training staff. The staff
includes certified athletic
trainers, a sports physical
therapist, a team physician, team orthopedic surgeons and a wide variety of
other medical specialists.
BYU athletic trainers are
concerned with much more
than just improvement in
the weight room. They are
committed to improving
the athletes' overall fitness
and health.
Success begins with training, and BYU has a stateo f-the-art strength and conditioning center with nearly
10,000 square feet of working space that ranks among the nation's best. It features 106 work stations to accommodate both female and male athletes. A well-structured strength and conditioning
program is playing an increasingly vital role in the success of collegiate athletic programs.
The primary goal of the BYU program is to keep athletes healthy and prepared for competition by
reducing their susceptibility to injury. BYU's strength and conditioning staff has experienced excellent results through its computer analyzed combination of a strict weight and conditioning program,
a carefully planned diet and sufficient rest.

STUDENT ATHLETe Center
BYU student-athletes are seeking to excel athletically, academically and are preparing for life after they
graduate. Their lives are complex and challenging as
they seek for balance and to reach their lofty goals.
On April 1, 1999, BYU created the Student Athlete
Center to provide a place where student-athletes can
receive support and resources enabling them to be
successful in their athletic and academic pursuits,
personal and career development, and transition into
the BYU culture.
The Student Athlete Center seeks to assist student-athletes so their BYU experience will be spiritually
strengthening, intellectually enlarging, character
building and lead to lifelong learning and service. Paul
Warner is the Director of the Student Athlete Center.
Warner, who received a doctorate in educational
administration from BYU and is also a former LDS
seminary teacher, serves as Chaplain for the non-LDS
students. “I am pleased with this opportunity and
appreciate working with our students in creating a
home base where their needs can be met in a supportive environment. If we can build connections early on,
we are able to ease the transition into campus life for
all our student-athletes.” said Warner. One of the main
priorities of the Student Athlete Center is to help those
student-athletes who are not members of The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints feel welcomed and
succeed in the BYU environment
Another priority of the Student Athlete Center is to
network well with other BYU departments and work
in coordination with their existing services. Some of
these departments include the Counseling and C areer
Center, Multi-cultural Student Services, Services for
Students with Disabilities, college advisement centers
and BYUSA.
The BYU Athletics Department is an active partici-
110
pant in the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Pr o g r a m .
The services provided by the Student Athlete Center
target each of the five commitments of the
CHAMPS/Life Skills program.
COMMITMENT TO ACADEMIC
EXCELLENCE
A primary goal of the Student Athlete Center is to
ensure that every student-athlete graduates with a
bachelor’s degree in their chosen field of study. To
achieve this goal, the Center provides a team liaison as
part of the comprehensive academic support program.
Each athlete has regular visits with his/her team liaison who assists with registration and monitors
progress toward graduation. Tutoring is also available
for every student-athlete. The Student Athlete Center
is conveniently located in the George Albert Smith
Fieldhouse and contains a study hall and computer lab.
Study skills classes and workshops are also taught regularly for student-athletes who may need additional
assistance to achieve academic success.
COMMITMENT TO
ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE
The Student Athlete Center employs a sport psychologist to provide performance enhancement interv e ntions for BYU teams, coaches and student-athletes.
These interventions include: incr easing awarene ss for
sport performance, goal-setting, arousal regulation
through relaxation and energizing techniques,
imagery training, confidence building through selftalk strategies, developing pre-competition plans,
concentration (focusing) training and team-building
interventions. The overall objective of these types of
interventions is to assist individual student-athletes
and athletic teams to perform at consistently high
levels. Personal counseling is also available through
the sport psychologist and Chaplain as needed.
COMMITMENT TO PERSONAL
DEVELOPMENT
Student Athlete Center personnel are also active in
teaching classes designed to promote leadership,
emotional well-being, personal growth and decisionmaking skills. Student-athletes are taught about
some of the unique issues they face in the world of
college athletics and how to thrive in the university
setting and beyond.
COMMITMENT TO CAREER
DEVELOPMENT
A career specialist is available to assist student-athletes with a variety of career issues. They receive help
in choosing a major, building t heir resume, establishing a career network and preparing for their transition from college athletics into the world of work.
These services are available through individual consultation, workshops, computer programs and
University courses. Career exploration and career
transition classes are highly recommended to all student-athletes. Internship and employment opportunities are also made available through the Career
Network, which is made up of Varsity Club and
Cougar Club members.
COMMITMENT TO SERVICE
All BYU student-athletes are encouraged to participate in at least three community service programs
each year. There are a wide variety of opportunities
available through the Student Athlete Center including: “The Buff Don’t Puff” program, speaking opportunities at local schools and churches, food drives,
mentoring school children and involvement in BYUSA
and community agency projects. A Student Athlete
Center representative organizes the community service
program and works closely with the Student Athlete
Advisory Council in providing opportunities for all student athletes who want to participate.
UTAH VALLEY AREA
Utah’s white splendor has been characterized as “The Greatest Snow On Earth.” With an average annual snowfall of more than 42 feet, skiing and snowboarding at any of
Utah’s 14 resorts is truly a winter wonderland. Knee-deep powder and untracked snow are common characteristics of mountain resorts throughout Utah. The Wasatch
Mountains provides a backdrop for Utah Valley with high peaks and rugged terrain that give bikers and hikers a taste of wildflower meadows, deep forests and snowcapped
mountain peaks. Breathtaking vistas and spectacular views awaken the senses to nature’s simple beauties.
A mountain biker’s dream come true, Moab is paradise for fat-tire bikers. Just a three-hour drive from Provo, Moab, an old mining town, neighbors Arches National Park,
one of six national parks and seven national monuments within a half-day drive from Provo. Ascending to higher elevations, clear mountain streams and rushing rivers
wash through green landscapes and deep forests. The numerous canyons surrounding Utah Valley are full of mountain springs, lakes and waterfalls.
With a population over 350,000 people, Utah County
offers all the conveniences of a major metropolitan
community. Just 40 minutes south of Salt Lake City,
host of the 2002 Winter Olympics, Provo also offers
various recreational activities. Known for its incredible skiing and central location to 15 national parks
and monuments, Utah County attracts visitors from
around the world.
The Utah Valley metropolitan communities of Provo
and Orem are home to a growing high-tech mecca,
including the world headquarters for many computer
and technology corporations. The Provo/ Orem area
boasts one of the highest standards of living in the
country and has been rated by several experts as one
of the top areas to live in the U.S. In a 2001 FBI
report, the Provo/Orem metropolitan area had the
second lowest violent crime rate in the nation. Utah
Valley is an excellent educational environment with
high-quality health care, a below average crime rate
and rich cultural and recreational opportunities for
its citizens. The Utah Valley area has been ranked
among the top 20 places to live in the nation (according to Money Magazine) for the past five years. In
September 1991, the magazine rated the area #1 on
its list of the top 300 places in the nation to live. In
1994, the area received the #3 ranking. It is also
considered by Fortune magazine to be the "third hightech cluster in the U.S."
The Sundance Institute located in Provo Canyon
offers locals and visitors an opportunity to experience
some of the region’s artistic culture. Every year,
some 20,000 people attend Robert Redford’s
Sundance Film Festival. Several films that premiered
at the festival have been the recipients of Oscar,
Emmy and International Film Festival awards.
Sundance offers year-round activities that can be
enjoyed by everyone, including its ski resort, summer
outdoor theater, fine dining and shopping.
Utah Valley is a major gateway to six national parks, seven National Monuments, two
National Recreational areas, six National
Forests and 44 State Parks.

1999, 2001 VOLLEYBALL
NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
In 2001 BYU won its second volleyball national
championship in three years becoming the
first team to ever defeat volleyball powerhouse
UCLA in three straight games in an NCAA
Championship contest. The three-game
sweep of UCLA helped BYU become
the only non-California school to
win more than one men’s
volleyball national championship.
BYU’s women’s cross country team has been simply dominating, winning the
national championship in three out of the last five years (1997, 1999 and 2001)
and finishing second in 1998 and 2000.
From 1962 to 1999, BYU dominated the We s t e rn Athletic Conference, winning more championships than any other WAC School. In fact, during the last three decades, the Cougars won
60 percent of the WAC Championships—more than all other conference competitors combined. Included in these team titles, BYU’s baseball team won 22 division titles in 23 years
and was ranked as high as No. 1 in 1983. While consistently placing among the nation’s top
teams, Brigham Young University has also captured eight national championships.

cougar club
With the donations and support of more than 4,500 members nationwide, the Cougar
Club has helped BYU build one of America’s strongest collegiate athletic programs.
Through its fund-raising and promotional mission, the Cougar Club is ensuring the
future success of BYU Athletics.
“For more than three decades, the Cougar Club has
been the life blood of BYU Athletics. We are grateful
for all the generous contributions of our fans.”
— Val Hale, BYU men’s athletic director
Loyal Cougar Club members across America are building the foundation for
BYU’s future athletic victories. The changing nature of collegiate athletics means that
to compete at the highest levels, BYU must raise more money every year. The costs

construction, and the recently opened Miller Baseball/Softball complex.
• Supporting the Student Athlete Center and sponsoring academic tutoring for student athletes, providing laptop computers for the athletes to use when traveling, and
sustaining an endowment that provides spring/summer and post-eligibility scholarships that assist current and former athletes to finish their degrees.
MEMBER BENEFITS
There is a Cougar Club membership level for every fan that wants to help BYU
continue to build a strong athletic tradition. Individuals and businesses
annually make tax-deductible Cougar Club contributions of between $50 and
$5,000–base d on their financial ability to give and on the athletic

club members including:
•

THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE POST-SEASON TICKETS BEFORE THE
G E N E RAL PUBLIC
• AND MANY OTHERS

However, the greatest benefit of membership is knowing that the Cougar Club is helping BYU Athletics continue to be one of the nation’s best collegiate athletic programs.
THE LEGACY PROGRAM
In 1997, Cougar Club introduced the Legacy Program to further ensure BYU’s
continued athletic success. The Legacy Program is designed to help club members structure their financial planning (appreciated securities, trusts, bequests, wills, life insurance and other options) to benefit BYU Athletics while maximizing flexibility and tax
benefits for the donor. Additional athletic benefits are available through the Legacy
Program for donors who make a present value Legacy gift of $10,000 or more.

BYU Sports Network Broadcasts
Thanks to one of the nation’s best television packages covering a women’s volleyball program, fans of BYU women’s volleyball have the opportunity to follow the Cougars even if they are far removed from the friendly confines of
BYU’s Smith Fieldhouse. Each year, the Cougars have a number of matches
televised to a national and international audience as part of an overall BYU
sports package available on BYU Television. Starting in 2002, additional
matches will also be broadcast as part of the BYU Sports Network on BYU
Radio, available via satellite and over the Internet.
BYU Television is available in more than 20 million homes and is growing at a

Europe, and Latin America as the Church of Jesus Christ’s continuous satellite

Young University and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. BYU

forums, and other symposia. Original programming is also offered from BYU’s
family of broadcast services, including KBYU-TV, and from a wide range of
