B
uilt in 1960, the Mott Athletics Center (formerly Mott Gym) is home to Cal Poly men’s and women’s basketball, wrestling and volleyball. In the fall of 1998, the MAC was upgraded with chairback seats replacing the original wooden bleachers. New seats were installed behind both backboards in 1998, giving the MAC an arena feel to it. A new floor was installed in 2011 and repainted in the summer of 2014. Videoboards were installed prior to the 2014-15 basketball season. Named after Robert A. Mott, a physical education faculty member and department head from 1946-78, the MAC houses the athletic department offices and training and strength and conditioning rooms. While working at Cal Poly, Mott also was the coach of the Mustangs baseball and men’s basketball teams before he was named P.E. Department head after World War II. Cal Poly hosted the 1969 NCAA Division II National Wrestling Championships, capturing the second of seven straight team titles. The 1968-69 team (pictured at right) was led by national champions Terry Hall, John Woods, Ken Bos and Tom Kline. In 2005, the MAC hosted the Pac-12 Wrestling Championships. Teams, officials and fans from Arizona State, Boise State, Oregon, UC Davis, Cal Poly, Oregon State, Bakersfield, Cal State Fullerton, Stanford and Portland State flocked to the MAC with the total attendance for the two-day event reaching 7,738. The Mustangs finished the meet in fourth place and crowned one individual champion, Vic Moreno at 125 pounds. In 1995, the Golden State Warriors held their preseason camp in the MAC. Chris Mullin, Latrell Sprewell, B.J. Armstrong and No. 1 pick Joe Smith put on a show during an open practice to the public, drawing a standing-room-only crowd of over 4,000. Two years later, the Sacramento Kings conducted their camp at Cal Poly, opening the doors to the public for an intrasquad scrimmage to climax the one-week camp. The MAC has been home to numerous NCAA playoffs (most recently the first and second rounds of the 2006 NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship with sellout crowds) and championships over the years, as well as hosting various concerts, exhibitions and sporting events. Names like Eddie Money, The Pretenders, The Doors, Ike and Tina Turner, the Los Angeles Lakers and Bill Cosby are just a few of the names that have performed inside the Mott Athletics Center. In 1980, the men’s basketball team hosted New Hampshire College in a Division II NCAA Championship quarterfinal. The 1998-99 season marked the first nationally televised game at the MAC as ESPN2 carried the Cal Poly vs. Idaho game. Other men’s basketball games have been televised by Fox Sports and KSBY-TV before capacity crowds.

Brendan Buckley, head wrestling coach at Ivy League member Columbia University in New York for the last 11 seasons, was named Cal Poly’s head wrestling coach on June 21, 2011. “Brendan has an excellent record in developing student-athletes,” said Mustang director of athletics Don Oberhelman. “Brendan has demonstrated that he knows how to fulfill his first responsibility as a coach, which is to make sure we honor our commitment to our student-athletes’ academic achievement. We’ve hired the right coach to ensure we continue to honor those ideals. “Brendan also believes, as I do, that all of our student-athletes should strive to leave Cal Poly with a diploma and a championship,” Oberhelman added. “I’m very excited about what he will accomplish at Cal Poly.” Buckley, who earned a 14-3 win at 142 pounds in Fresno State’s 24-16 dual meet victory against Cal Poly in 1997 at Mott Gym, praised Cal Poly’s reputation for athletic and academic excellence. “Cal Poly athletics has a rich tradition that I am well aware of. My goal is to add to those traditions,” Buckley said. “I am really excited to be here and I can’t wait to begin working with the team. We will strive for excellence on the mat and in the classroom.” Buckley received the Bob Bubb Coaching Excellence Award for NCAA Division I on May 31, 2011. Presented by the National Wrestling Coaches Association the award recognizes an outstanding coach who epitomizes the qualities and characteristics of a role model and mentor for developing young student-athletes. In his first season at Cal Poly, Buckley guided the Mustangs to a 6-7 overall dual meet record, including a 3-2 mark in Pac-12 duals. Four Mustangs qualified for the NCAA Championships, with Boris Novachkov placing third at 141 pounds and Ryan DesRoches earning an eighth-place finish at 174 pounds. The Mustangs struggled in dual meets in the 201213 season, posting a 2-11 mark, but freshman Devon Lotito captured a Pac-12 title at 133 pounds and qualified for the NCAA Championship. The 2013-14 squad went 3-9 in duals and Lotito placed second at
the Pac-12 finals and again qualified for the NCAA Championship. The 2014-15 Mustangs posted a 3-15 dual meet mark, Dominic Kastl placed second at the Pac-12 finals and Kastl and Nick Fiegener represented Cal Poly at the NCAA Finals. In his last year at Columbia, Buckley led the Lions to a 9-6 overall record and a third-place finish in the Ivy League. The team placed seventh overall at the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association (EIWA) Championships in March and two wrestlers advanced to the round of 16 at the NCAA Division I National Championship. Off the mat, Columbia shined in the classroom as well, ranking third nationally with a 3.2917 team

The Lions also won the EIWA Wrestling Officials Sportsmanship Award. Columbia made further improvements in 2007, as the team earned its first-ever top 25 ranking, eight wrestlers placed at the EIWA Championships, four team members qualified for nationals and Palmer earned his second All-America honor. Buckley, 71-84-1 in 11 dual meet seasons with the Lions, came to Columbia from the University of Virginia, where he was the top assistant coach from 1998 to 2000. He helped lead the Cavaliers to two straight top-25 finishes in the NCAA Championships, while helping develop three All-Americans and seven NCAA qualifiers, including national finalist Steve Garland at 125 pounds. Prior to Virginia, Buckley was the chief assistant coach at UC Davis as well as at Sacramento City College. During his tenure at Sacramento CC, five wrestlers earned All-America status. Originally from Long Island, Buckley lived in Buffalo, N.Y., before moving to Orlando, Fla. He was a high school All-American and Florida state champion at 135 pounds for Lake Howell High and then starred at Clemson where he made the freshman AllAmerican team his first year and reached the NCAA Round of 16 as a 142-pound sophomore. When Clemson dropped wrestling after the 199495 season, Buckley transferred to Fresno State, where he wrestled under Dennis DeLiddo. Buckley was a Western Athletic Conference champion for the Bulldogs and earned All-America status with a seventh-place finish at the NCAA Championship at 142 pounds in 1997. Buckley graduated from Fresno State in 1997 with a bachelor’s degree in speech communication and completed his master's degree in sports management at Columbia. Buckley and his wife Julia celebrated their third wedding anniversary Aug. 28.

Scotti Sentes, First Assistant, Third Season
Scotti Sentes, a two-time NCAA Division I All-American and four-time national qualifier while wrestling at Central Michigan, was named assistant wrestling coach at Cal Poly in August 2013. "In looking for an assistant coach, we wanted to hire someone that not only was good on the mat but also someone that could relate well to our studentathletes and help us promote the Mustang Mission," third-year Mustang head coach Brendan Buckley said in announcing the hire. "We feel strongly that we accomplished this in hiring Scotti Sentes," Buckley added. "He is a great technician and will be a terrific asset for all of our wrestlers." Sentes twice won Mid-American Conference titles (2009 and 2011) and placed third in 2010 and 2013. He finished his Chippewas career with a 10833 overall record, including 55-12 in duals (17-1 in MAC dual meets) and 53-21 in tournaments. Among his 108 career wins were 23 falls. Sentes placed fourth in the NCAA finals at 133 pounds as a junior in 2011 and seventh at 125 as a freshman in 2009. While wrestling at Central Michigan, Sentes also was involved in numerous camps and club teams. He was a clinician for wrestling clinics and camps at Central Michigan and throughout the country under Chippewas head coach Tom Borelli.
Sentes also was founder and head coach/clinician for Team Anaconda Blood and was a coach for National Team Florida, preparing wrestlers for national competition during the high school offseason. He also was an instructor for the Riverdale Wrestling Club during his high school career. Sentes was a four-time Florida state high school champion while attending Riverdale High School, compiling a 213-3 career prep record and winning his last 140 matches. He also finished runner-up in the state finals at 103 pounds while competing with the varsity as an eight-grader in 2004. He was 51-0 with 36 falls as a senior. Sentes also won a senior nationals title in 2008. Sentes earned his bachelor of science degree in English at Central Michigan in May 2013. He was inducted into the Lee County Athletic Conference Hall of Fame in May 2015 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Fort Myers, Florida.
Mike Evans, a three-time NCAA Division I All-American wrestler at the University of Iowa, was hired as an assistant coach with the Cal Poly wrestling program in July 2015. Evans, who placed second three times and third once in the Big 10 Conference Championship from 2012-15, compiled a 107-27 career mark with the Hawkeyes in addition to a 22-2 mark during his redshirt season (2010-11) while wrestling unattached. "I am very excited to welcome Mike Evans to the Cal Poly wrestling program," said Mustang head coach Brendan Buckley. "Mike hails from the legendary University of Iowa Hawkeye program and understands the type of commitment required to compete for an NCAA title. "Mike was always an exciting wrestler to watch at the NCAAs and, as a three-time NCAA All-American, our team will have an accomplished wrestler to work closely with and learn from," Buckley added. "Mike impressed me on his interview and has the type of mindset that will benefit our entire program. We can't wait to begin working with him." Evans was sixth at the NCAAs as a sophomore, junior and senior and
claimed a pair of titles at the Midlands Championships. He posted 16 pins, 15 technical falls and 24 major decisions in his four varsity seasons at Iowa and Evans was 5811 in dual meets. At Blair Academy in New Jersey, Evans was 165-8, including a 52-0 mark as a senior, and claimed prep state and national titles at 189 pounds in his senior year. He is a three-time Pennsylvania freestyle and Greco-Roman state champion and also played football in high school. Evans, who earned his bachelor's degree in recreation and sport business last May at Iowa, has worked as a wrestling camp clinician, coordinator and counselor for youth and prep wrestlers throughout the country while wrestling at Iowa.

Colton Schilling posted 21-22 record with 12 falls as a freshman last season, including an 8-3 mark in duals and 13-8 in tournaments. he 2015-16 Cal Poly wrestling team has an unusual mix of talent on the roster — no seniors, plenty of newcomers and yet eight returning starters.
"Despite not having any seniors, we still have a lot more experience across the lineup this year," said fifth-year Mustang head coach Brendan Buckley. "We have a lot of returning guys who have varsity experience and Pac-12 experience. Plus there are some good leaders on this team.

"The team has been working incredibly hard on many fronts this fall and the coaching staff is very pleased with the group that we have and the effort they have given," Buckley added. "The preseason included strength and conditioning workouts in the weight room, running on the track (and Bishop's Peak and Poly Canyon) as well as quality time on the mat.
"Four years ago, there was a vision to create a comprehensive program that would be successful on the mat, in the classroom, and to be actively involved in our community," Buckley added. "To do so, we knew that getting the right people onboard was absolutely essential if we were to create the type of culture that would lead our program to success in all that we do.
"We are confident that we have been successful in these efforts with excellent leadership and a large commitment from our veteran wrestlers, a strong freshmen class, and a dynamic and diligent set of assistant coaches in Scotti Sentes and Mike Evans. This is the third year for Sentes and getting Evans is huge for our program. "We're excited about the foundation and the culture of this team."
Sentes was a two-time NCAA Division I All-American and four-time national qualifier while wrestling at Central Michigan while Evans was a threetime NCAA Division I All-American wrestler at the University of Iowa and placed second three times and third once in the Big 10 Conference
Championship from 2012-15.
Eight of the Mustangs who competed in the Pac-12 Championship a year ago are back, but the Cal Poly roster won't have any returning NCAA qualifiers as Dominic Kastl has graduated and Nick Fiegener transferred to Cal Baptist. "We have guys working real hard and have been committed to the program the last two years," Buckley said. "I am really looking forward to the upcoming season." A look at each of the 10 weight classes:
125 — Yoshito Funakoshi wrestled in 25 matches as a true freshman, winning 11 with one fall. "Yoshi has gotten his weight down a lot, so he is within striking distance," said Buckley. "That is what plagued him last year. He spent the summer training hard, and being comfortable in his weight class will help tremendously. He had a great start last year but struggled late in the season." Backing up Funakoshi are sophomore Isaac Blackburn and true freshmen Brandon Staley (Olviedo, Fla.) and
Travis Berridge won 18 matches with three falls as a sophomore a year ago.

experience," Buckley said. "When he wrestles well, he's hard to beat. He can throw, he beat two or three guys in the top 30, he beat the Pac-12 champ from Oregon State and he beat the North Carolina guy who was an All-American. It's just a matter of being consistent and getting him to score more points." The third wrestler in the mix at 165 is freshman Matt Wilhelm (Manahawkin, N.J.), who also likely will redshirt. "He is one of the best in his recruiting class, has lots of size, great technique and very athletic," said Buckley. 174 — This weight class belongs to sophomore Sohrab Movahedi, who redshirted last year after producing five wins, including two in dual meets, as a true freshman in the 2013-14 season. "Redshirting last year was valuable to him," Buckley said. "He has made big gains over the last two years. Wrestling as a true freshman, he had a lot to learn. He's one of the most explosive kids on the team." Freshman Andrew Morgan (Huntington Beach, Calif.) likely will redshirt.
Cal Poly hosted Northern Colorado and CSU Bakersfield outdoors a year ago and is scheduled to host Stanford for a Pac-12 dual meet in the University Union Plaza on Nov. 2.
David Gonzalez (Covina, Calif.). "He has a lot of skill and great wrestling IQ," Buckley said of Blackburn, 5-14 a year ago with one fall. "What hurt him last year was that he was undersized, but he has a lot of qualities as a wrestler and we think highly of him."
133 — Sophomore Jason DelaCruz was 8-8 in his true freshman season at Cal Poly with two falls and wrestled in six dual meets. "He had a strong true freshman year and has gotten much stronger," said Buckley. "He twice beat Michael Cook of Boise State and is pretty solid in every position. He learned a lot from last year and will be one of our better wrestlers this season." Freshman Tyler Schilling will redshirt this year. "He is a tough scrappy guy who works really hard," said Buckley.
141 — Tyler's older brother, Colton Schilling (pictured above), had a banner freshman season with a 21-11 record, an 8-3 mark in duals and 12 total pins. "He started out strong last year and was one of the top 30 wrestlers in the country in his weight class," said Buckley. "He is real scrappy, gritty and strong on the mat. He is very dangerous. He can pin, he's good on top, he can throw and scrambles well. We're looking for him to be an All-American in March." Schilling will be backed up by Cuesta College transfer Connor Pollock, a junior from Folsom, Calif.. "He's tough, strong and athletic," said Buckley. "He's good on the mat and was a state JC runner-up last year. He's real mature, already having two JC years of experience. We're real impressed with him thus far."
149 — This weight class features a close threeway battle between junior Jacob Leon and true freshmen Joshy Cortez (Temecula, Calif.) and Kyler Hansen (Clovis, Calif.).
"All three are very competitive," said Buckley. "Leon has experience and maturity, has improved greatly, has made great progress each year and is a great leader. He won a match at the U.S. Open and it was a great experience for him. "Cortez is real strong, has a Greco-Roman background and has really impressed the coaching staff," Buckley added. "Hansen's best position is the top. He scrambles very well and has a lot of potential. "This weight class is up for grabs."
157 — A weight class with two strong starting candidates — juniors Blake Kastl and Colt Shorts. Kastl was plagued with a hip injury a year ago and wrestled in just 13 matches, winning seven, while Shorts was 17-18 with two falls and is Cal Poly's top returning placewinner at the Pac-12 Championship with a fourth at 157. "Kastl is a superb technician and real strong," said Buckley. "His defense on his feet is the best I've seen. It's just a matter of insuring he is in the lineup every week and healthy. "Shorts was just seconds away from qualifying for the NCAAs," Buckley added. "He has made a lot of progress since we recruited him at 113 pounds. He's taller, stronger, one of the leaders on our team, competes hard and finds a way to win. "Both have All-American potential." True freshman Alec Donovan (Brick, N.J.) likely will redshirt this year.
165 — Three candidates, but two could redshirt. Junior Xavier Johnson won three of nine matches last year and placed in the U.S. Open during the offseason. "He had a great offseason, filled in for us last year and has the potential to fill the spot again this year," said Buckley. "His goal is to make the World Team. He has worked really hard and he's one of the strongest guys on the team." Junior Travis Berridge was 18-15 a year ago with three falls, but has yet to use his redshirt year and may do so this time. "Travis has the edge on
2015-16 Cal Poly Wrestling Media Guide -- Page 5
184 — Junior Mitch Woods, who won six of 14 matches a year ago, two by fall, is the likely starter at 184, backed up by redshirt freshman Johnny Beltran. Freshman Ryan Anderson (West Linn, Ore.) is expected to redshirt. "Woods probably has made the biggest gains on the team since his freshman year," said Buckley. "He has improved in every conceivable way. He trains hard, has good technique and mental toughness. I am really excited to see him wrestle this year." Beltran was 11-5 in open tournaments during his redshirt year. "Johnny is a great kid. He is an elusive kind of wrestler. He's funky, but wrestles well."
197 — J.T. Goodwin is back for his third varsity season after winning seven matches in both his freshman and sophomore campaigns. "Last year, he proved he can wrestle with anybody in the country," said Buckley. "He pinned the No. 9 kid from Ohio and also earned two wins against Stanford wrestlers and another win against Boise State, so he's been nipping on the heels for a couple years. "He's very agile for a guy his size in his weight class. If he wrestles up to his potential, he will be at the NCAAs," Buckley added. True freshman Thomas Lane (Garden City, N.Y.) is challenging Goodwin for the starting nod. "Lane has improved immensely, he's very coachable and he is really strong on the mat," said Buckley. "He's unorthodox but scrambles well. I think he will have a good season and he has a bright future."
285 — Sophomore Spencer Empey utilized his redshirt year last season after a freshman campaign that resulted in a 13-12 record, including two falls and a 4-3 dual meet mark. "Spencer had a good freshman year, finishing third in the Pac-12s," said Buckley. "He was a bit undersized for a heavyweight at 225 pounds. Now he's at 255 and that will be huge for him. "He has to learn how to wrestle the heavyweight style," Buckley added. "He's always in great shape, very strong, has lots of potential and is ready to go after his redshirt year." Empey is the only heavyweight on the Mustang roster.
Mustang Runners–up at NCAA Championships Chad Mendes, 2008
Chad Mendes completed one of the most storied seasons by a Cal Poly wrestler in the program’s history in 2008, tallying a 30-0 record before dropping a 5-2 decision to Ohio State’s J Jaggers in the NCAA Championship bout at 141 pounds. Mendes will be remembered as one of the all-time greats to walk the halls of Mott Gym. The Hanford, Calif. native recorded seven falls, eight major decisions and one technical fall in 2008. He pinned Paul Moseman of Cal State Bakersfield in just 13 seconds on Nov. 18 at the Fullerton Open and wooed a large crowd at Cal Poly by pinning the then-No. 2 ranked 141-pounder in the nation, Minnesota’s Manuel Rivera, in 1 minute, 34 seconds. At the NCAA Championships, Mendes won his first match by fall in just 34 seconds. Among his many accomplishments, Mendes won a Pac-12 title in 2008 and was also named the conference’s Wrestler of the Year. He also won tournament titles at the Michigan State Open and Fullerton Open and became the eighth wrestler in program history to navigate an undefeated dual slate. Mendes finished his career with an impressive 64-
Chase Pami, 2010
14 record. He was an All-American at 125 pounds with a sixth-place finish in 2006 before bulking up to 141 for his senior year in the 2007-08 season. On Jan. 15, 2008, Mendes became the first Cal Poly wrestler to earn a No. 1 ranking by pollsters since Scott Heaton and Rick Worel did so together in 1980. After graduating from Cal Poly in the spring of 2008, Mendes embarked upon a professional fighting career with the Palace Fighting Championship circuit. After winning all five fights, he signed with the WEC (World Extreme Cagefighting) in October 2009, posting a 4-0 mark before the WEC merged with the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 2010. Mendes is 8-3 in the UFC, 17-3 overall. His only losses were to UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo in January 2012 and October 2014 and to Conor McGregor of Ireland in UFC 189. His favorite technique is the wushu finger hold. “It’s a great opportunity and a great honor to be competing in the UFC,” said Mendes. “This is where I’ve always wanted to fight and it’s awesome to be a part of such a huge organization.”
Cal Poly’s Chase Pami became the sixth NCAA Division I runner-up in Mustang wrestling history in March 2010. Trying to become the third Division I national champion, Pami led 2-1 early in the first period, but eventually fell 6-4 to top-seeded and four-time NCAA All-American J.P. O'Connor of Harvard in the 157-pound final at the Qwest Center Omaha. Pami closed out his Cal Poly career with a 29-7 record as a senior and a 100-35 career mark. Pami, the lowest seeded wrestler in the championship finals, tried to become the first Cal Poly wrestler to capture a Division I national title since Mark DiGirolamo accomplished the feat in 1976. Tom Kline won in 1969. Pami earned his 100th career win in the semifinals with a 13-5 major decision against Justin Lister of Binghamton. Pami placed seventh in the 2009 NCAA meet. Pami also joins Kline (1968), John Woods (1969), Cliff Hatch (1975), Montano (1983) and Chad Mendes (2008) as the only Mustangs to earn sec-
ond-place finishes at the Division I nationals. Pami captured back-to-back Pac-12 Conference titles at 157 pounds in 2008 and 2009. Only other Mustangs to claim consecutive Pac-10 championships are Eric Osborne (1987-88), Jake Gaeir (1993-94) and Boris Novachkov (2010-11). Pami was an NCAA qualifier all four seasons at Cal Poly. He finished 27-9 as a junior, 24-6 as a sophomore and 20-13 as a freshman. He was a two-time Nevada state champion and four-time high school All-American while wrestling at Cimarron Memorial High School in Las Vegas. He was 185-14 in his prep career. In December 2011, Pami qualified for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials, which were held in April 2012 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa. Pami placed fourth at the Trials. Pami, who has trained at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., preparing for a shot at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, is an assistant coach at Air Force.
In 2011, for the third time in four years, a Cal Poly wrestler captured second place in the NCAA Division I National Championships. At Philadelphia, junior Boris Novachkov, seeded third, won four matches to reach the 141-pound final, but for the second time in the 2010-11 season, he dropped a 3-2 decision to Kellen Russell of Michigan. Those were Novachkov’s only losses against 31 victories that season. Novachkov, who placed seventh at 133 pounds and earned NCAA All-American honors a year earlier, earned a 6-1 decision over Buffalo sophomore Andrew Schutt, followed by a 4-2 decision over Matthew Bonson of Lock Haven on the first day of competition at the nationals. The next day, he shut out No. 6 Andrew Alton of Penn State 2-0 in the quarterfinals and earned a 9-3 victory over second-seeded Michael Thorn of Minnesota in the semifinals. In 2012, Novachkov became the first four-time Division I national qualifier at Cal Poly and first three-time All-American, placing third at 141 pounds
in St. Louis. The two-time Pac-12 champion finished his Mustang career with a 121-23 record. A graduate of Fremont High School in Sunnyvale, Novachkov went 4-2 in the 2010 nationals, with both losses decided in overtime. Prior to the 2011 nationals, he won the Fullerton Open as well as the Midlands and placed second at the Las Vegas Invitational. Four of his wins in the 2010-11 season were by fall and Novachkov also won four matches by technical fall and five by major decision. He posted a spotless 11-0 record in dual meets with two pins and a pair of technical falls and was 10-2 against nationally ranked wrestlers. Novachkov was 13-0 in duals and 34-4 overall as a senior with four falls. He placed first in the Cowboy Open and Reno Tournament of Champions. He trains with the Titan Mercury Wrestling Club, coached by Kenny Monday, wrestles for his native Bulgaria and competed in the 2015 World Championships in Las Vegas. Novachkov was ranked No. 13 by United World Wrestling at 65 kg last summer.

Victor Glover: Astronaut and Former Cal Poly Wrestler
NASA astronaut and Cal Poly engineering alumnus Victor Glover, a Mustang wrestler in the mid-1990s, spoke at the university's Spanos Theatre in July 2015. Glover discussed the benefits of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education as part of Cal Poly's Engineering Possibilities in College summer camp. The Navy lieutenant commander was among eight candidates named to NASA's 21st astronaut class in 2013. The classmates completed their initial astronaut training and are now active NASA astronauts eligible for mission assignments. Glover (B.S., General Engineering, 1999) was selected from the second largest number of applications NASA had ever received — more than 6,100. His class received a wide array of technical training at space centers around the globe in preparation for missions to low-Earth orbit, an asteroid and Mars. Though an engineering graduate, Glover also credits his role as a member of the Cal Poly wrestling team during the 1994-95 season with helping prepare him for work as an astronaut. "Wrestling was one of the most indelible influences in my life," he said. "Someone asks me about being in the pool at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory and doing the EVA (Extra Vehicular Activity) training. I compare it to wrestling and how you have to be able to think in 3-D and think moves ahead if you want to go from good to great. "Wrestling had just as much of an impact on me as the things I was learning in the lab or in engineering." Glover is the fourth Cal Poly alumnus to serve as an astronaut. The
Former Mustang wrestler Victor Glover, a member of NASA’s 21st astronaut class, was a guest speaker at Cal Poly last July.
others include: Robert L. "Hoot" Gibson, a four-time commander on the space shuttle and an inductee in the National Aviation Hall of Fame; Gregory Chamitoff and Frederick "Rick" Sturckow.

Iceman: My Fighting Life
Chuck ‘The Iceman’ Liddell Cal Poly 1988–93
C
huck Liddell ranks as one of, if not the, most famous Cal Poly graduates in the school’s history. For two years Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell reigned as the UFC light heavyweight champion, but before that, Liddell starred in Mott Gym as a 190-pound wrestler. Recently, Liddell released a book that chronicles his life as a fighter. Iceman: My Fighting Life debuted on February 17, 2008, and spent multiple weeks on the New York Times Bestseller list.
Liddell started training for his career at the age of 12 in Santa Barbara. He was a four-year starter on the football team at San Marcos High School, and became a Division I wrestler at Cal Poly in 1988. After spending five years on the wrestling squad, Liddell would complete his degree while pursuing a career as a professional fighter, graduating in 1995 with a B.A.in business. As a graduation gift to himself, he had his iconic tattoo inked on his scalp which reads “Koei-Kan” (“prosper with happiness.”) He would then transition to mixed martial artist when he earned a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under John Lewis, ultimately aiming for a career that would take his fame and fortune to a new level.
Liddell made his UFC debut in 1998 with a decision victory over Noe Hernandez. He soon established his reputation as a devastating striker with victories over Tito Ortiz, Renato Sobral and Wanderlei Silva over the next few years. On May 26, 2004, he knocked out Randy Couture in two minutes to
win the Light Heavyweight Title. He defended his titles successfully five times, all ending with either a knockout or a TKO. He surrendered his belt after losing in a matchup with Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, three years to the day of being crowned champion.
Despite his busy schedule as a fighter and a world-renowned celebrity, Liddell still takes time to remember his roots as a Cal Poly Mustang. Liddell can often be seen matside at Cal Poly matches and is an avid fan of the team. He was inducted into the Cal Poly Athletics Hall of Fame on Sept. 11, 2009.
Chuck Liddell “faces off” with Cal Poly 197-pound wrestler Ryan Smith during a practice session in 2008.

More than 20,000 students, nationally-renown courses of study and the top-ranked public master’s university in the western United States ... all 11 miles from the Pacific Ocean.
This is Cal Poly
ocated in the central California coastal town of San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly comprises one of 23 campuses in the California State University, the nation’s largest four-year undergraduate university system. Each CSU campus is given considerable freedom to develop its programs and each institution boasts its own qualities and strengths. Cal Poly’s Learn by Doing principle of instruction prepares undergraduates for careers in applied technical and professional fields. From computers to crops, Cal Poly holds that the best preparation for any endeavor is derived through practical application. This ideal has set Cal Poly apart from other schools and been the school’s driving philosophy since its 1901 founding. Courses at Cal Poly emphasize a high proportion of lab work, fieldwork and special assignments, culminating with a senior project. Unique on-campus opportunities – such as an organic farm and a student-run daily newspaper and majors of study ranging from aerospace engineering to wine and viticulture – make hands-on learning a daily reality at Cal Poly. In total, Cal Poly confers bachelor's degrees in 64 separate areas of study. Nine of those degrees are exclusive to the San Luis Obispo campus (see next page). For 22 consecutive years, U.S. News and World Report has ranked Cal Poly as the top public master’s university in the western United States. The publication also ranked Cal Poly’s College of Engineering as the No. 3 program in the nation among public non-doctoral institutions (see below). On-campus activities are headquartered at the renown University Union and Cal Poly’s student-run activities have earned enviable reputations across the nation. Week of Welcome offers first-quarter students a successful introduction to the collegiate experience through a team of trained student leaders and university officials, all of whom provide academic and social resources, encourage awareness and promote
relationships with the campus and central coast community. Athletically, Cal Poly boasts one of the most successful Division I programs for an institution of its size. During the 2013-14 academic year, the athletics department – which sponsors 21 varsity programs – saw the men’s basketball, men’s tennis and baseball programs advance to the NCAA Championships and six teams win Big West championships (baseball, women;s soccer, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s basketball and men’s tennis). Individually, Nick Dzubnar (football), Brandon Howe (football) and Ashley Windsor (women’s track and field) each earned All-America honors during the 2014-15 academic year. Conference champions include Justin De Los Santos (men’s golf), Jimmy Deiparine (men’s swimming), Nick Woolf (men’s track and field) and Molly Haar (women’s track and field). Second baseman Mark Mathias was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the third round of the MLB Draft in June 2015. Named Big West athletes of the year were Peter Van Gansen (baseball, defensive player of the year), Chase Minter (men’s soccer, midfielder of the year) and Wade Hamilton (men’s soccer, goalkeeper of the year). As testament to Cal Poly’s athletics and academic integrity, 75 Mustangs collected conference all-academic praise during the 2014-15 school year. The Cal Poly Athletics Department also finished fourth in the Big West Commissioner’s Cup, an award presented to the institution with the best overall results in the conference’s 16 sponsored sports. Internationally, Cal Poly was represented at the 2008 Summer Olympics by former Mustangs Sharon Day (United States, high jump), Jimmy Van Ostrand (Canada, baseball) and Stephanie Brown Trafton, whose gold medal for the United States in the discus competition was the first such feat by a Mustang athlete. Day (heptathlon) and Brown Trafton (discus) also qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

BEST IN THE WEST
CAL POLY AN ACADEMIC DYNASTY 22 YEARS IN THE MAKING
For the 22nd straight year, Cal Poly was rated by U.S. News and World Report as the best public master’s university in the western United States in its 2014 America’s Best Colleges guidebook. Cal Poly also is rated the most efficient school among regional western universities and placed 10th in the publication’s overall list of the west’s best universities – including both public and private institutions – that provide “a full range of undergraduate and master’s-level programs but few, if any, doctoral programs.” The publication ranks colleges that grant doctoral degrees, such as those in the University of California system, in a separate category. “Being named Best in the West for 22 straight years is a terrific acknowledgment of Cal Poly’s sustained excellence over a long period of time,” said Cal Poly President Jeffrey D. Armstrong. “The credit belongs to our faculty and staff for their unwavering dedication and commitment to our students’ success, and it underscores the power of our Learn by Doing philosophy.”
Within individual areas of study, U.S. News and World Report ranked Cal Poly’s College of Engineering No. 3 among public engineering programs for schools whose highest degree is a bachelor’s or master’s (Cal Poly was bested only by the United States Military Academy and Air Force Academy). A number of College of Engineering programs ranked high in the Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs in their individual specialty categories. The university’s computer, electrical and mechanical engineering programs were each ranked as the top program at a public university in their respective specialty categories. Cal Poly’s civil and environmental engineering program was ranked the secondbest program at a public university.

CAL POLY HISTORY
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS, TRANSCENDENT FUTURE
In front of the Orfalea College of Business iis the O’Neill Green, which hosts, among other activities, a tailgate prior to football games at the adjacent and recently remodeled Alex G. Spanos Stadium. A 1948 graduate of the College of Agriculture, the late Richard J. O’Neill is the founder of Supporters of Mustang Athletics Teams (SUMAT) and was instrumental in helping to stabilize funding for Cal Poly.
I
n the 1890s, when a proposal for a teacher training school in San Luis Obispo seemed unlikely to succeed, California State Senator Sylvester C. Smith instead suggested a polytechnic institute. Myron Angel, chronicler of San Luis Obispo County history, became an ardent supporter of the idea and articulated a vision to establish a school that would “teach the hand as well as the head.” The plan succeeded and on March 8, 1901, legislation was signed founding the California Polytechnic School, then a vocational high school. During the ensuing three decades, Cal Poly evolved into the modern equivalent of a junior college, but its future became uncertain. In 1933, however, Julian A. McPhee, chief of the California Bureau of Agricultural Education, saved the institution from abolishment by agreeing to become school president. During the next 33 years, McPhee guided Cal Poly’s transformation into a four-year institution and set an educational standard still emulated today. Cal Poly’s first baccalaureate exercises were held in May 1942 and in 1947, the institution was officially renamed California State Polytechnic College. As programs continued to evolve, the institution became California Polytechnic State University in 1972. The Learn by Doing ethos continues to inform the paths Cal Poly’s alumni pursue, and they keep the friendships they start here. They also learn by succeeding. Median starting salary for recent graduates was $50,000 (beating all other CSU and UC campuses) and mid-career salaries for Cal Poly alumni are better than all UC and CSU campuses except Berkeley and UC San Diego -- and better than many private universities. More than half of Cal Poly seniors have a job offer in hand before they graduate -- even in today’s difficult economy.
Dedicated in 2006 and situated outside of Alex G. Spanos Stadium, Mustang Memorial Plaza commemorates the 16 Cal Poly football players, team manager and program supporter who perished Oct. 29, 1960 in an airplane accident outside of Toledo, Ohio.

CAL POLY ADMINISTRATION
PRESIDENT JEFFREY D. ARMSTRONG
effrey D. Armstrong, former dean of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and professor of Animal Science at Michigan State, officially began his duties as president at Cal Poly on Feb. 1, 2011. Armstrong was head of the Department of Animal Sciences at Purdue University from 1997 to 2001. He served in various positions at North Carolina State University from 1986 through 1997. “Cal Poly has an excellent reputation for preparing the knowledge leaders that help to drive California’s economy,” Armstrong said. “I am honored to join such an outstanding university and excited about engaging students, faculty and alumni to build on its strong foundation and create opportunities for the future.” Armstrong, who was raised on a beef cattle, swine and tobacco farm in western Kentucky, attended Murray State where he received a bachelor’s degree in agriculture in 1981. He received both a master’s (1984) and doctorate (1986) in physiology and endocrinology from North Carolina State. The College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at Michigan State has a total budget of more than $290 million for more than 4,500 students. During Armstrong’s tenure, faculty general fund FTE increased 44 percent, overall grant activity increased 146 percent and annual development funds increased by more than 250 percent. More than $200 million (with over $60 million in endowments) was been raised during his tenure. Through the efforts of Armstrong and other members of the administrative team, CANR undergraduate student minority population increased from 8.3 to 11.8 percent and minority faculty increased from 9.9 to 19 percent. In addition, annual revenue from off-campus credit instruction has increased more
D
than 20 percent during each of the last six years. “Dr. Armstrong’s outstanding academic credentials, leadership abilities and strong grounding in agriculture and science will be tremendous assets to the university and the community as it moves forward,” California State University Trustee Roberta Achtenberg, chair of the presidential search committee, said. “His reputation for teaching excellence and commitment to student-centered learning are the right complements to Cal Poly’s learn-bydoing philosophy.” As a faculty member at North Carolina State, Armstrong was engaged in the classroom, advising students, revising general university requirements and starting a Freshman College. He received numerous teaching awards at North Carolina State, including the designation as Alumni Distinguished Professor for Undergraduate Teaching. Armstrong’s laboratory-based research focused on nutrition and reproduction in bovine and porcine females and more recent work has been in social responsibility in the food chain. He has been a key participant in more than $9 million in grants and cooperative agreements. He has written or contributed to more than 45 scientific journal articles. Armstrong also serves as chair of the United Egg Producers Animal Welfare Advisory Committee. He advises McDonald’s Corporation in animal welfare, as well as broader issues related to corporate social responsibility. He served as chair of the Board of Agriculture Assembly Farm Bill Committee and co-chair of CREATE-21 (Creating, Research, Extension and Teaching Excellence for the 21st century), and contributed to significant changes in the most recent Congressional Farm Bill. Armstrong also served on the USDA Agricultural Research, Extension, Education and Economics Advisory Committee and recently completed service on the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago Seventh District Advisory Council. Armstrong and his wife, Sharon, have two children. Jessica is a medical student at Michigan State and Zack is a finance major, also at Michigan State.
DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS DON OBERHELMAN CAL POLY DIVISION I HONORS
onald J. Oberhelman was named Cal Poly’s Director of Athletics on March 17, 2011. Oberhelman, 43, came to Cal Poly after serving as the Chief Operating Officer and Senior Associate Athletic Director at San Diego State University. In that capacity, he was responsible for the daily operations of San Diego State’s intercollegiate athletics program, including budget planning, hiring and evaluation of coaches, facilities and event management. He also worked closely with San Diego State’s fundraising team. “Cal Poly has a great tradition of academic excellence and we want to continue to build on that tradition in everything we do. For many people, athletics is the first impression they have of the university. We must make sure these impressions are great ones,” Oberhelman said at the time of his hiring. “We know our primary obligation is to develop our student-athletes. I want us to be leaders in graduation rates as well as in championships. But the receipt of a degree is not enough. It must be in a field of interest to the student-athlete and it must lead to a rewarding career. “We will not compromise and place student-athletes on the perceived shortest path to a degree. Here’s the bottom line for Cal Poly Athletics: We are in the business of developing citizens and leaders. Along the way, we can also win championships. Experiencing what it takes to be a champion is a great education in and of itself.” Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong echoed Oberhelman’s sentiments. “Don’s goal is for all of our student-athletes to leave Cal Poly with a diploma and a championship ring,” Armstrong said. “That’s a great goal for our student-athletes and our fans.” Prior to his tenure at San Diego State, Oberhelman served as the senior associate athletic director at Southern Mississippi (2002-07), the education coordinator for athletics at Texas A&M (1998-2002) and as a compliance assistant at Florida State (1995-1998). He earned his bachelor’s in business administration at Kansas State and his master’s in athletic administration at Florida State.

MUSTANGS EXCEL IN THE CLASSROOM
or more than 100 years, Cal Poly’s student-athletes have been dedicated to excellence in both the athletic and academic arenas. During the 2014-15 scholastic year alone, 75 Mustangs were named to all-conference academic teams. Since Cal Poly transitioned to the Division I level in 1994, the school has enjoyed 864 total all-conference academic selections – an average of over 41 per year. Taking pride in each student’s ability to excel both athletically and intellectually, Cal Poly and the athletics department offer guidance and support to each student-athlete during his or her tenure. To support these motives, the athletics department initiated the Academic Resource Center.
Opened in 2001, the center provides yearround academic support, tutoring, workshops and academic advising. The center has also developed study hall programs with bi-quarterly progress checks, weekly academic appointments and a first-year seminar class for incoming student-athletes. In deference to the student-athlete’s need for class schedule flexibility, Cal Poly also offers in-season priority registration for two of the three quarters during which competition occurs. Of the 64 major courses offered at Cal Poly, Mustang student-athletes were enrolled in 52 separate areas, as of the Fall 2014 term.
ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE
Featuring 21 varsity programs, the Cal Poly Athletics Department is in its 22nd year of NCAA Division I competition since completing reclassification in 1994. With the exception of football (Big Sky Conference), wrestling (Pac-12 Conference) and the men’s and women’s swimming and indoor track and field programs (Mountain Pacific Sports Federation), Cal Poly is also in its 20th year as a member of the Big West Conference. Among Big West institutions, only UC Davis (22 programs) boasts more athletic disciplines than Cal Poly. Prior to transitioning to the Division I level, Cal Poly ranked as the most successful institution in the history of NCAA Division II athletics with 35 national team titles. Cal Poly has continued its winning tradition at the top flight with teams and individuals routinely earning conference championships and NCAA Tournament berths. During the 2013-14 academic year, the athletics department -- which added sand volleyball in 2014 -saw the men’s basketball, men’s tennis and baseball programs advance to the NCAA Championships. Individually, Nick Dzubnar (football), Brandon Howe (football) and Ashley Windsor (women’s track and field) each earned All-America honors during the 2014-15 academic year. Conference champions include Justin De Los Santos (men’s golf), Jimmy Deiparine (men’s swimming), Nick Woolf (men’s track and field) and Molly Haar (women’s track and field). Second baseman Mark Mathias was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the third round of the MLB Draft in June 2015. Named Big West athletes of the year were Peter Van Gansen (baseball, defensive player of the year), Chase Minter (men’s soccer, midfielder of the year) and Wade Hamilton (men’s soccer, goalkeeper of the year). As testament to Cal Poly’s athletics and academic integrity, 75 Mustangs collected conference all-academic praise during the 2014-15 school year. The Cal Poly Athletics Department also finished fourth in the Big West Commissioner’s Cup, an award presented to the institution with the best overall results in the conference’s 16 sponsored sports. Cal Poly athletes have consistently excelled outside the bounds of the collegiate arena. Cal Poly was represented at the 2008 Summer Olympics by former Mustangs Sharon Day (United States, high jump), Jimmy Van Ostrand (Canada, baseball) and Stephanie Brown Trafton, whose gold medal for the United States in the discus competition was the first such feat by a Mustang athlete. Day (heptathlon) and Brown Trafton (discus) also qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Other prominent post-Cal Poly examples include All-American wide receiver Ramses Barden (2005-08), who was a third-round selection by the New York Giants in 2009 and is currently with the Buffalo Bills. Former linebacker Chris Gocong (2002-05) – one of Cal Poly’s three Buck Buchanan Award winners as the Football Championship Subdivision’s top defensive player – made 35 starts in three active seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles before signing with the Cleveland Browns in 2010. Former men’s soccer midfielder Anton Peterlin is the only Big West player to have appeared in an English Football League match. Three former Mustangs -Junior Burgos (Toronto FC), Patrick McLain (Chivas USA) and Ariel Lassiter (L.A. Galaxy) have played on Major League Soccer clubs. Mackenzie Pridham plays for Minnesota United FC of the North American Soccer League. Lassiter (Team USA) and Kip Colvey (New Zealand) have been named to national under-23 teams. As of August 2015, the Cal Poly baseball program produced six Major League players in the last six years while 23 other Mustangs were active professionally.

CAL POLY ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT FACILITIES
ENHANCED BY SOME OF THE NATION’S MOST RAVENOUS CROWDS AND PRISTINE WEATHER, CAL POLY’S ATHLETICS FACILITIES PROVIDE THE MUSTANGS WITH AN UNPARALLELED HOME ADVANTAGE
Completed in 2006, Alex G. Spanos Stadium (above) hosts Cal Poly’s football and men’s and women’s soccer programs. The Mustang football team christened the complex on Nov. 18, 2006 with a 55-0 victory versus Savannah State, while a program-record 11,075 spectators packed Spanos Stadium Sept. 15, 2007 for Cal Poly’s season home-opening win against Weber State. On Oct. 17, 2008, another sellout crowd of 11,075 supporters – then the thirdlargest regular season crowd figure in NCAA men’s soccer history – flooded Spanos Stadium for Cal Poly’s nationally-televised showdown against central coast rival UC Santa Barbara. During the 2009 season, the men’s soccer program ranked third among NCAA Division I programs by averaging 2,213 fans per home date.
Cal Poly’s volleyball, wrestling and basketball programs call the 3,032-seat Mott Athletics Center (right) home. A new $700,000 floor was installed during the summer of 2007 along with two videoboards ($750,000) prior to the 2014-15 campaign. During recent years, Mott has hosted the Pac-12 Conference Wrestling Championships and, in front of a sold-out audience, the first and seconds rounds of the 2006 NCAA Volleyball Tournament (also right). The men’s basketball program produced a pair of sellouts against UC Santa Barbara and UC Davis a year ago as well as another against Big West regular-season champion UC Irvine on Feb. 1, 2014. Additionally, the Mustang women’s basketball program drew a program-record 2,552 fans for a March 5, 2011 game against UC Santa Barbara.
Remodeled at a cost of more than $3 million, the Olympic-sized Anderson Aquatic Center (left) was completed in August 2009 and plays host to both Cal Poly’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs. Situated adjacent to the Mott Athletics Center, the pool measures 12,348 square feet. Eight 50-yard lanes highlight the complex, which also provides for a total of eighteen 25-yard cross course lanes. The complex also features a 15-by-30-foot all-shallow therapy pool. Anderson Aquatic Center held its first official event on Oct. 3, 2009, when the Mustang women’s swimming program welcomed thendefending national champion California to San Luis Obispo.
