WHAT’S IN A NAME?The offi cial school name is the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga which is the proper usage in fi rst reference to the athletics program. The appropriate short form is simply Chattanooga with the abbreviated form of UTC. “Chatt” is acceptable as a leaderboard moniker. There is no hyphenated form of the school name (i.e. UT-Chattanooga, Tennessee-Chattanooga, Tenn.-Chatt., UT Chattanooga, etc.). The nickname is simply Mocs. For more information and current athletic marks, turn to page 14.

NO. 1 IN THE NATIONThe Chattanooga Mocs men’s golf team has twice been ranked No. 1 in the nation by Golfstat. Both occurences came in fall rankings in 2008 and 2009. In both cases, the Mocs started strong at the Carpet Capital Collegiate Classic with a win in 2008 and runner-up in 2009.

FORMER MOCS IN PROFESSIONAL GOLFAmong the numerous golfi ng alums of the University, there are several in the world of professional golf. Recent grads Bryce Ledford (‘07), Jonathan Hodge (‘10) and Derek Rende (‘10) are working their way up through the myriad of tours (e.g. Hooters, eGolf, etc.). Kip Henley (‘82) was the winner of the Golf Channel’s Big Break II and recently caddied for PGA Tour pro Brian Gay.

two athletic training rooms that serve all athletic teams. Thanks to funding from

Erlanger Hospital, the athletic training rooms are equipped with the most up-to-date

rehabilitation equipment including a Biodex Isokinetic Unit, a Neurocom for balance

testing and training, and a Trazer unit for functional rehabilitation. In addition, the

training rooms. They work together to insure quality health care for all Mocs student-

WHAT’S A MOC?NICKNAME & MARKSNICKNAME & MARKS

THE ANSWER For more than a decade, this question has puzzled many fans and observers of

Chattanooga Athletics.

The UTC Athletics Department changed logos in 1997, moving away from Native

American imagery to a package of logos using railroad images, the nickname “Mocs” and

the Scrappy mascot. The new package emphasized UTC’s connection to Chattanooga and

the city’s railroad heritage and incorporated the Tennessee state bird.

The term “Moc” is short for “Mockingbird.” Mockingbirds are fi ercely territorial

creatures which protect their homes with courage, determination and skill. Those attributes

refl ect the intellect, spirit and character of UTC student-athletes and alumni. A Moc is a

champion on the playing surface, in the classroom and, most importantly, in life.

SCRAPPY Named after legendary football coach A.C. “Scrappy” Moore, Scrappy, the

Chattanooga mascot, is a fi xture for the Mocs. A re-design in 2008 puts Scrappy in the

image of the State Bird of Tennessee, the Mockingbird. The mockingbird is known as a

fi erce protector of its nest and environment. It is sometimes seen swooping down on a

dog, cat or predator that may be venturing too close to the bird’s protected territory. Once

described by “Late Night” host Jimmy Fallon as “a sledge-hammer wielding mockingbird

with a heart of Blue & Gold,” Scrappy symbolizes that competitive passion.

WHY MOCS?Faced with politically sensitive issues and in need of a stronger core identity

to help establish a strong brand as Chattanooga’s Team, the athletics department

embarked on a comprehensive identity program in 1996. A new direction for the

athletics identity was determined, moving away from the politically incorrect Native

American Indian imagery.

Several identities have been used in the past. With the old nickname “Moccasins,”

a snake was used in the 1920s and an Indian was used until the year of major change in

1996. A moccasin shoe was even used in the 1980s.

In 1996, it was decided to adopt the State Bird of Tennessee, the Mockingbird,

as the core of the new identity, while incorporating the strong regional imagery of

Chattanooga’s vast railroad history. The mascot “Scrappy” was born and a new emphasis

was placed on the athletics department’s role in the region.

The committee also recognized the need for the word “Chattanooga” to have a

great emphasis in the logo. The nickname “Moccasins” was shortened to simply “Mocs”.

Thus established, Chattanooga could rebuild its athletics programs and initiatives

around this new identity.

And rebuild it did. Quickly establishing the identity program in February 1997,

combined with tremendous success in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, UTC had

positioned itself to reach for the next level.

From 1997 to 2007, the primary logo was the mascot, Scrappy, riding a train. The

secondary logo features the front of a train with the word Mocs built into the logo. This

logo is aff ectionately called the “Cowcatcher logo,” referring to the front lower grill of the

train that helped push objects from the train tracks.

In August 2007, offi cials at Chattanooga updated the school’s marks. A new C logo,

the “Power C” as it has become

known to fans and alums, was

created as the primary mark

and is emblazoned on the side

of the football team’s helmets.

The secondary marks were

updated with a more modern

look, and a new font, unique

to the school, is now used on

the text areas of the logos and

marks.

In September 2008,

Scrappy was re-branded to

better match the image of a

mockingbird and refl ect the

rich tradition of our state, our

city and our University. New

marks of the head as well as

a full body were released. The

program has also been taking

special eff orts to stay true

to its color palette—which

includes navy blue and old

gold.

Secondary Athletics Marks:

The “Power C” is the primary mark of the Chattanooga athletics department. It can be used alone or with “CHATTANOOGA MOCS” in the school’s custom-made font below the C.

MARK GUHNESEVENTH SEASONSEVENTH SEASON

In his six seasons as head coach, Mark Guhne

(pronounced JUNE) has led his alma mater to

unprecedented heights in men’s golf. Guhne has

spearheaded a consistent presence in the national

rankings.

Twice Chattanooga has achieved a No. 1 ranking.

This fi rst occurred in the fall of 2008. The Mocs again

reached the pinnacle in the fall of 2009.

His 2010-11 squad showcased his ability to continue

moving the program forward. His No. 1-ranked squads

did so with a remarkably similar roster. The 2010-11 team had just one junior (Stephan

Jaeger) and a sophomore (Steven Fox) to go with three freshmen in the lineup.

That group had the fewest losses in Guhne’s six seasons with just 41 in 11 events. The

young squad had many memorable moments. They knocked off three top 15 programs

in national runner-up Georgia, Stanford and Iowa in a week’s time fi nishing second at the

Linger Longer and LSU National Invites to Alabama and LSU, respectively.

UTC boasted two medalist wins as well. Redshirt freshman Chris Robb won in his second

collegiate event shooting nine-under par at the Springhill Suites Collegiate in fall. Jaeger

captured his fi rst win against a strong fi eld at LSU shooting seven under and winning by

seven as the only player to beat par for the 54 holes.

Jaeger repeated as SoCon Golfer of Year and PING All-Region. He was joined on the All-

SoCon team by Steven Fox and Benni Weilguni.

Jaeger also earned Cleveland Golf/Srixon

All-America Scholar recognition.

The Mocs ended the season ranked

No 38 on the Golfweek/Sagarin

Performance Index and No. 36 on

Golfstat while receiving votes on the

Golf World/NIKE Coaches Poll. UTC

also made its fi fth straight trip to

regionals.

The 2009-10 squad matched the

No. 1 ranking from the previous

fall after a runner-up fi nish at

the prestigious Carpet Capital

Collegiate. Guhne led his team

to a win at the Cleveland Golf

Palmetto Intercollegiate and a

fourth-consecutive NCAA

Regional berth that season

with several individual

accolades.

Jaeger earned his fi rst

Southern Conference

Golfer of the Year honor as he and senior Derek Rende claimed PING All-Region as well. It

was Rende’s third such nod and Jaeger’s second in as many years. Rende earned a fourth

All-SoCon team selection, while Jaeger garnered his second. Rende also scored his second

Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar nod.

The fi rst No. 1 national ranking came early in the fall of 2008 after the Mocs opened with

wins at the Aldila Scenic City Invitational and at the prestigious Carpet Capital Collegiate.

The Mocs won their third straight Southern Conference Championship and in its third

NCAA Regional appearance, Guhne’s charges earned their way to the NCAA Finals at

Inverness.

The third-place fi nish in the 2009 South Central Regional was not the only highlight

during the 2008-09 season. Three wins in 2008-09 coupled with another top 25 fi nal

ranking showed the Mocs commitment toward developing consistency on the national

scene.

Among the three wins in 2008-09 was a third straight Southern Conference

Championship. Rende and Ben Rickett were joined on the All-SoCon team by Jaeger who

also earned Freshman of the Year honors in the league. It was the third year the Mocs

placed three or more student-athletes on the all-league squad.

For the fi rst time in school history, the Mocs posted three members on the PING All-

Region team. Rende repeated on the team and was joined by Rickett and Jaeger. Rende

became the fi rst Mocs golfer to earn Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar honors.

The 2007-08 season saw the Mocs fi nish in the top 15 of the three major rankings with

a high of No. 12 in the Golfweek/Sagarin Ratings Index. Chattanooga ranked No. 14 in

the Golf World/Nike Golf Coaches’ Poll as well as in the Golfstat rankings. The team set a

school record with fi ve team titles, breaking the previous season mark of four.

Individually, the Mocs placed three players in the top 100 rankings (Golfweek/Sagarin)

in Jonathan Hodge (26), Derek Rende (74) and Fredrik Qvicker (88), as well as in the

MARK GUHNE3-TIME SOCON COACH OF THE YEAR3-TIME SOCON COACH OF THE YEAR

As part of the growth of the student-athlete, Guhne encourages aggressive summer

tournament schedules. In recent years, the Mocs had four players qualify for the U.S.

Amateur, three in 2007 in Jonathan Hodge, Derek Rende and Bryce Ledford. Jaeger

qualifi ed in 2011.

Fredrik Qvicker fi nished as low amateur at the 2007 Scandanavian Masters, while Ben

Rickett qualifi ed for the 2007 English Amateur, fi nishing in the fi nal 16, and the 2008

British and English Ams. Rickett, Qvicker and Jaeger all advanced to match play at the

Amateur together in 2009.

Rende won the 2007 Tennessee State Open and then followed in 2008 with a win at the

Tennessee State Amateur. Hodge qualifi ed for the Western Refi ning All-American in 2008

and played a phenomenal summer schedule which included a third-round fi nish at the

North/South Amateur. Jaeger was a wild-card entry in the 2011 BMW International Open

on the European Tour.

Guhne was elevated to the head coaching position on March 1, 2005, after three seasons

serving as assistant coach to Reed Sanderlin. A PGA professional, Guhne has earned Class

A status and was the 2007 Horton Smith Award winner. He was elected president of the

Chattanooga chapter of the PGA in 2008.

Among his recent playing accomplishments, Guhne was selected to the 2007 Tennessee

Challenge Cup team. In 2003 and 2004, he represented Tennessee in the Tennessee vs.

Georgia PGA Cup Matches.

Mark and his wife Kelly are both Chattanooga graduates with each earning degrees in

1984. The couple resides in Hixson, Tenn. He is an avid fi sherman in his spare time and is

regaining his amateur status as a golfer.

Golfstat Cup with Hodge at 18, Rende

at 66 and Qvicker at 99. Hodge set the

single-season record with three titles

in 2007-08 repeating as SoCon Golfer

of the Year.

With Guhne at the helm, the Mocs have

won 14 team titles and eight medalist

honors. Guhne has three SoCon Coach

of the Year honors, and his players have

won four Player of the Year awards,

two Freshman of the Year and had 17

all-conference selections under his

tutelage to go with second-team All-

America honors for Hodge in 2008 as

well as eight All-Region mentions.

His fi rst season (2006), Chattanooga

posted its best conference fi nish (tie

3rd) in 20 years and Guhne earned

his fi rst Coach of the Year honor. He

followed that by leading the Mocs to

their fi rst Southern Conference title

since 1987 in 2007, with Jonathan

Hodge earning SoCon Player of the Year,

Derek Rende, Freshman of the Year, and

Guhne, Coach of the Year once again.

The Mocs fi nished 2006-07 ranked 47th

in the nation.

2011-12 OUTLOOKMOCS LOOK FOR RETURN TO NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPMOCS LOOK FOR RETURN TO NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP

The 2011-12 Chattanooga Mocs

golf team looks remarkably

similar to the 2010-11 model. All

fi ve starters return from a team

that had the second-best scoring

average (289.95) in school

history.

“We have a lot to build on from

last year,” said head coach Mark

Guhne. “I’m proud of the way we

grew as a young team. It has me

really excited to get started this

September.”

Two-time Southern Conference

Golfer of the Year and three-time

PING All-East Region performer

Stephan Jaeger (Munich, Germany) returns for his senior campaign. Jaeger is the team’s

unquestioned leader and a strong candidate for All-American honors in 2011-12.

“It starts and ends with Jaeger for us,” Guhne added. “It’s certainly a team game, but

he sets the tone. His work ethic is off the charts. He’s exactly what you want in a No. 1

player.”

Jaeger is coming off a season where he averaged 71.67 strokes per round which totaled

one-under par for the season. He counted in all 30 team rounds leading his comrades

with six in the 60’s and 18 total par or better with fi ve top 10s. Jaeger also captured his

fi rst collegiate win at the LSU National Invitational shooting seven under to win by seven

shots over a strong fi eld.

Junior Steven Fox (Hendersonville, Tenn.) looks to improve on his sophomore season. Fox

averaged a touch over 73 shots per round which ranks 10th all-time in school history. He

claimed the Tennessee Golf Association Match Play Championship over the summer.

Sophomores Davis Bunn (Knoxville, Tenn.), Chris Robb (Aberdeenshire, Scotland) and

Benni Weilguni (Langelois, Austria) are all back as well giving the team a solid balance

of experience and foundation for the future. Weilguni was third on the team last year

with a 73.67 scoring average. Bunn was fourth at 73.85, while Robb’s 74.18 rounded out

the squad. Weilguni (All-SoCon, SoCon All-Freshman) and Bunn (SoCon All-Freshman)

captured postseason accolades, while Robb won his second career start at the SpringHill

Suites Collegiate.

“There is a lot to like about all fi ve

returning starters,” Guhne stated.

“There were a lot of questions at

this time last season. This year I

think we have a lot of answers.

But there is a lot of competition

as well.”

That competition comes in

the form of three student-

athletes. Junior Alex Ratliff

(Kingsport, Tenn.) and sophomore

McKeehanon Rue (Athens, Tenn.)

return to the mix while Guhne

signed another top Scottish junior. Liam Johnston (Dumfries, Scotland) fi nished second in

the Scottish Boys Match Play and Stroke Play Championships in 2011.

“Alex and McKeehanon have worked really hard and bring a lot to the squad,” Guhne said.

“Liam looks like he will push really hard for a spot from the get go.”

The Mocs open the season at “The Masters of College Golf” at the Carpet Capital Collegiate

Classic. The fi rst event is always highly anticipated, but even more so when talking about

one of the top tournaments in country at The Farm in nearby Dalton, Ga.

“When we won in 2008, I don’t think I’ve ever been happier as a coach,” Guhne continued.

“It is defi nitely one of the highlights of my career. It’s a special tournament at a special

place.”

UTC is off for a little more than two weeks before a run of three tournaments in two

weeks. The Mocs go to Burlington, Iowa (Spirit Hollow G.C.) for the Golfweek Conference

Challenge. That is followed by the Rees Jones Invitational (Haig Pont G.C.) October 3-4 in

Daufuskie Island, S.C.

Chattanooga quickly returns to the course Oct. 7-9 with a return trip to Macon, Ga.,

(Brickyard at Riverside) for the Brickyard Collegiate. It closes out the fall slate at the new

AutoTrader.com Collegiate Classic in Duluth, Ga. (Berkeley Hills C.C.).

“It’s a very solid fall schedule,” Guhne noted. “We will be tested early and it should be

great preparation for the spring.”

The Mocs are headed to a new event on the spring slate before an old standby. They open

February 26-27 at the Seahawk

Intercollegiate (C.C. of Landfall

– Nicklaus) before heading back

to Aiken, S.C., for the Cleveland

Golf Palmetto Intercollegiate

(Palmetto G.C.) March 5-6.

After another small break, the

schedule gets hectic for the

next three weeks.

Over a two-week span,

Chattanooga hits three key

events. It starts March 18-20

at the Collegiate Match Play

Presented by Calloway (The

Concessions G.C.) in Bradenton,

Fla. The following week takes

the Mocs back to the Linger Longer Invite (Landing G.C. at Reynolds Plantation) March

24-25, followed by the LSU National Invitational (University Club) March 31-April 1. UTC

fi nished second beating three top 15 teams last season at the latter two events.

Post-season play begins April 15-17 with the Southern Conference Championship (C.C. of

South Carolina). NCAA Regionals are May 17-19 at six diff erent courses across the country.

The NCAA Championship is May 29-June 3 at the famed Riviera Country Club in Pacifi c

Palisades, Calif.

“It’s a very challenging schedule,” Guhne concluded. “We are deeper this year than we’ve

been in quite some time. The competition just to make the travel squad will be fi erce. It

will make us stronger.

“Our goal is the same as always and that’s to make it to the NCAA Championship,” Guhne

ended with a smile. “From there, anything can happen.”

at all levels, reaching the signifi cant milestone of surpassing

more than 10,000 students in fall 2009. Since taking the

helm of the Chattanooga campus, he has promoted UTC’s

mission as a metropolitan university with special emphasis

in the fi elds of science, mathematics and technology. Brown

has also pledged the campus’ commitment to teacher

preparation, healthcare professions, business and commerce

UTC recently completed a strategic planning initiative that

focuses campus eff orts on the power of partnerships,

especially relationships within the learning laboratory of

Chattanooga. In 2008, Chattanooga earned the Community

Engagement designation by the Carnegie Foundation for the

Advancement of Teaching in recognition of its many

successful partnerships in the community.

The campus facilities have also seen a tremendous upgrade

under Brown’s leadership. Among the many improvements

include the new Aquatics and Recreation Center and Brenda

state-of-the-art library is under construction.

Brown came to Chattanooga from the University of North

When Rick Hart came to

the University of

Tennessee at Chatta-

nooga, he brought with

him a vision and plan

for the future of the

Mocs. Over the last fi ve

years, Hart has changed

the landscape of the

UTC Athletics Depart-

ment with his leader-

ship, organizational

skills and innovative ideas on how to fulfi ll the Mocs’

mission of preparing students for productive and meaning-

ful lives. Since his hiring on May 23, 2006, Hart’s eff orts

have made a tremendous impact on the Mocs student-

athletes’ quest for comprehensive excellence – academi-

cally, athletically and socially.

ACADEMICALLY

• Shown continuous improvement in the overall grade-

point-averages for student-athletes in each of the last six

semesters - highlighted by a 2.97 g.p.a. in the spring of

2011, the highest semester mark on record.

• Over half of the Mocs’ student-athletes made the Athletic

Director’s Honor Roll each of the last four semesters.

• Developed and implemented an ambitious APR improve-

ment plan that has increased the APR scores of all Mocs

athletics programs.

• Expanded the Compliance and Academic Services depart-

ments to help student-athletes progress toward the

ultimate goal of earning a college degree.

ATHLETICALLY

• Captured 17 regular season and 19 tournament champi-

onships in the Southern Conference over the last fi ve

seasons, more than any other SoCon school.

• In 2008-09, Chattanooga posted school records with fi ve

teams competing in the NCAA Championships and 10

squads represented in the postseason.

• Set a school record in 2009 with a 99th place fi nish in the

NACDA Learfi eld Director’s Cup that measures the overall

success of all Division I athletic programs. Three of the

Mocs’ top-5 all-time fi nishes in the NACDA Director’s Cup

have come in Hart’s tenure.

• Captured UTC’s fi rst Germann Cup in 2007-08, signifying

the best all-around women’s sports program in the

Southern Conference.

SOCIALLY

• Focused attention on strengthening the relationship

between Mocs Athletics and the UTC community.

• Cultivated and maintained relationships with local and

national press that has led to unequalled media attention

for a program of this size.

• Expanded educational programming for student-

athletes, coaches and staff as part of a commitment to

learning and personal and professional development.

Hart has also been very successful in the traditional roles

as UTC Athletics Director. In an eff ort to ensure effi cient

and eff ective management of all elements of the athlet-

ics program, and to better align athletics with the

academic mission of the institution, Hart developed and

installed the Strategic Plan for UTC Athletics. A focus on

the student-athlete experience has resulted in increased

ticket sales and fundraising, innovative partnerships,

improved athletics facilities and the addition of quality

coaches.

Managing fi nite resources in collegiate athletics is widely

known as a diffi cult task. Hart made fi scal stewardship a

priority for the department since his arrival. With diligent

leadership and a commitment from each and every mem-

ber of the department, UTC Athletics has made signifi cant

strides towards reducing the fi nancial

burden on the institution and adherence

to university allocated budgets.

Currently, Hart serves as a member of the

NCAA Division I Championship/Sports

Management Cabinet and the FSC Athlet-

ics Directors Association Executive

Committee. He is active in the commu-

nity is a sought-after speaker among the

area’s many civic organizations. In

addition to his selection as the Grand

Marshal of the 2007 Region 4 Special

Olympics, Hart has been appointed to the

Board of Directors with the March of

Dimes – River Valley Division, the Greater

Chattanooga Sports and Events Commit-

tee and the Finley Stadium Corporation.

He is also a member of the Chattanooga

Downtown Rotary and the United Way of

Greater Chattanooga Leadership Club.

Hart arrived on the UTC campus after

serving seven years at the University of

Oklahoma in various athletics adminis-

trative capacities. Hart’s career with the Sooners began in

1999 as the Director of Marketing and Licensing. He became

Assistant Athletics Director for Marketing and Licensing in

2001, and developed and implemented marketing cam-

paigns which generated annual ticket revenues in excess of

$19.5 million. Hart was promoted to Associate Athletics

Director for Program Advancement and Branding in 2003

and Senior Associate Athletics Director in 2006.

Hart has also worked in athletics for the University of North

Carolina and East Carolina University and has served with

the U.S. Olympic Committee. A 1994 graduate of UNC, Hart

earned a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education, Health

and Sport Science. Hart and his wife, Allison, also a gradu-

ate of North Carolina, are proud parents of Trevor and

Caroline.

A third-generation athletics administrator, Hart’s father,

Dave, currently serves as Executive Director of Athletics at

the University of Alabama, and his late grandfather, Dave

Sr., served in a variety of roles within collegiate athletics

including a stint as the Commissioner of the Southern

Conference from 1987-91.

basketball (div.), wrestling, softball and women’s golf.

Six teams - men’s and women’s cross country, wrestling,

men’s and women’s golf and softball competed in NCAA

postseason play.

• Individually, the Mocs had one All-American, fi ve SoCon

Tournament MVP, two SoCon Freshmen of the Year and

three SoCon Coaches of the Year. Chattanooga also brought

home 45 All-SoCon honors, while 17 student-athletes made

throughout the year, including National Volunteer Week,

Special Olympics, Race for the Cure, Read Across America

and many more.

• The Mocs looked to expand their presence in the

surrounding areas with Caravan trips to Atlanta and

Nashville. Not to forget their closest fans, the student-

athletes again took part in Operation Move-In, helping

freshmen unload into their dorms to begin the fall semester.

• Being engaged in the community can extend past

volunteering. The Mocs created a stir with a number of

creative marketing ideas, including the White Out football

game against Appalachian State, the Black Out men’s

basketball game against Furman, Phillip D. Glass donning a

football helmet for the fi rst time and the extremely popular

April Fools’ joke to name a few.

The Southern Conference, which begins its 91st season of intercollegiate competition in 2011, is a national leader

in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and defi ning the league’s role in helping to build lifelong

leaders and role models.

The SoCon is the nation’s fi fth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the

Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacifi c 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of

origination.

Academic excellence has been a major part of the SoCon’s tradition. League athletes have been recognized countless

times on Verizon/CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have

been selected from conference institutions.

The SoCon has a rich tradition in men’s golf. Five individuals (seven times) from league schools have claimed national

championships including the legendary Arnold Palmer (1949-50, Wake Forest). Men’s golf has been a championship

sport in the conference since 1933 and the 2011 championship will be the 65th all-time.

The Southern Conference offi ce is located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in

operation from 1880 until 1999, the Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today off ers the SoCon a fi rst-class

meeting area and offi ces as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.
