COACHES
MATT GITTERMANN
HEAD CROSS COUNTRY COACH 3RD SEASON BALDWIN-WALLACE | 2003

DAVID BOBB
HEAD TRACK AND FIELD COACH 13TH SEASON UMBC | 1997

t was only tting that David Bobb, who is one of the most decorated athletes to ever don the Retriever black and gold, take over as head track and eld coach following his stellar career as a student-athlete. Now entering his 13th season with the women and 10th at the helm of the mens squad, Bobb continues to raise the bar for his athletes as he leads them into their eighth season in the America East Conference.

att Gttermann joined UMBC in 2008 as the head cross country coach after serving as the cross country and track and eld coach at Mount Hebron High School in Ellicott City, Md., since August 2004.

In the rst year, UMBCs mens team placed sixth at the outdoor conference championship meet while the women took eighth. A year later, Bobb moved the mens team to third place while the women moved up a spot to seventh, while nearly doubling their team score. During the 2005-06 campaign, the men placed second at the indoor conference championship and fourth in outdoor, while the women placed fth and fourth, respectively. In 2006-07, the Retrievers hosted their rst meet since 2003 with the America East Championships, and Bobb led the men to a third-place and the women to a seventh-place nish. In 2007-08, the Retriever men and women nished fth and fourth at the outdoor meet, respectively, and in 2008-09, the men nished fourth in both indoor and outdoor. This past year, the Retriever men placed third during the indoor season and fourth outdoors, while the women nished fth in both seasons. The 2009-10 season was highlighted by Dominic Devaud, who was named to the CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America Third Team and won the heptathlon at the America East and IC4A Indoor Championships. Since Bobbs rst season with the Retrievers, his squads have produced two NCAA Championship competitors in Cleopatra Borel and Huguens Jean. Borel won UMBCs rst NCAA Championship in the shot put in 2002. Both became All-Americans and won multiple individual conference titles. Prior to Bobbs rise into the coaching profession, he was a ve-time Division I AllAmerican as a student-athlete at UMBC and was inducted into UMBCs Athletics Hall of Fame in February 2003, along with legendary coach Jim Pfrogner, his mentor. Bobb became UMBCs rst Division I All-American in track and eld with thirdplace nishes in both the 55m and 200m dashes at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Indianapolis during his junior season. His performance alone catapulted UMBC to an 18th-place nish in the nation. Bobb capped o his career with a second-place result in the 100m at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Bloomington, Ind., where he was the top American nisher in the country and earned All-American honors for the fourth time. He also qualied for the 200m nals, becoming an All-American for the fth time, but a slight muscle pull forced him to drop out of the race. Bobb, who was featured on the ESPN show NCAA Today, graduated from UMBC with a degree in information systems in 1997. He and his wife, Dawnnette, have two daughters, Caitlyn Cassandra (7) and Madisyn Alexandra (5).

In his rst season at UMBC, Gittermann produced two America East All-Conference honorees in Sara Parkinson and Anthony Kelhower as the men nished fth and the women eighth at the conference meet. Last year, Parkinson earned AllConference honors for the second consecutive season and was named to the CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District II First Team. All four of his boys cross country teams at Mount Hebron (2A/3A) had nished among the top eight in the state championships, peaking with a fourth-place nish in 2007. The Mount Hebron girls program also rose to prominence, nishing third at the state championships in 2007. The track programs were also extremely strong under Gittermanns leadership. His 2005 boys indoor team and 2007 girls outdoor squad both nished as runners-up at the state championships. Overall, Mount Hebron broke more than 80 school records, produced 15 individual state champions and one All-American during Gittermanns tenure. Gittermann started his coaching career as head track and eld coach at neighboring Hammond High School in the fall of 2003. The January 2003 graduate of Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio, earned four letters in cross country and three in track and eld and was the 1999 Ohio Athletic Conference Freshman Cross Country Runner of the Year. The Lewiston, N.Y., native earned his bachelors degree in middle childhood education from Baldwin-Wallace and completed his masters degree in curriculum and instruction with administrative focus from McDaniel College in May 2008. Gittermann currently teaches biology in the Howard County Public School System. He has a USATF Level II Certication in sprints, hurdles, relays and endurance. Additionally, he was one of 20 collegiate and high school coaches selected to attend the USATF/United States Olympic Committee Emerging Elite Endurance Coaching Clinic at the Olympic Training Facility in Chula Vista, Calif.

The program nished the 2006-07 year ranked 140th (top half) among all NCAA Division-I programs in the United States Sports Academys Directors Cup. The University of Maryland, College Park (40) and the United States Naval Academy (72) were the only other institutions in the state that nished the year higher than the Retrievers. UMBCs student-athletes have excelled in the classroom as well as the playing elds. In the last 11 years, 31 student-athletes have earned Academic All-America status, and more than 54 percent of Retriever student-athletes are earning 3.0 or higher grade-point averages. Moreover, UMBCs student-athletes graduate at a rate which is more than 10 percent higher than the university rate and the Retrievers NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) and Graduation Success Rate (GSR) are also considerably above the national averages. Dr. Brown has increased the full-time faculty and sta of the athletic department from 23 full-time employees at his arrival to 63 currently. There were only 13 full-time coaches (nine head, four assistant) upon Dr. Browns arrival; now there are 32 (14 head, 18 assistant) to ensure the Retrievers success on and o the playing elds.

In contrast, over the last several years, UMBC Athletics has brought in an average of $1.25 million per year via fundraising, corporate sponsorships and other entrepreneurial eorts. Starting from scratch in the 1990s, Dr. Brown developed a club sport program which has evolved into a 25-sport, 750-student program today. In the area of community service, UMBC student-athletes currently donate more than 1,000 hours of time per year to mentor local elementary and middle school students, and coaches make hundreds of appearances in the community throughout the year. The program was recognized by The NCAA News as one of the nest in the country. Most recently, the Retrievers teamed with Enterprise Rent-A-Car to raise funds to purchase a MyTobii eye-controlled communication system for the use of United Cerebral Palsy of Central Maryland program participants. Dr. Brown has improved the visibility of UMBC in many ways. In the spring of 1995, he made a bold move as he brought the rst and second rounds of the NCAA Mens Basketball Championships to the Baltimore Arena. Sellout crowds put Baltimore in the national spotlight for one glorious March week. In the spring of 1998, UMBC hosted the Womens Lacrosse National Championships at UMBC Stadium, drawing record crowds and kudos from the national media. Dr. Brown also led the successful bid to bring the Mens Lacrosse National Championships to M&T Bank Stadium in 2003, 2004 and 2007, where all existing attendance records were shattered. Under Dr. Browns leadership, UMBC now hosts ve state high school championships in boys and girls soccer, boys and girls lacrosse and girls basketball. He has spearheaded the universitys rapid enhancement of athletic and recreational facilities during his tenure. Lights were added to UMBC Stadium in 1992, and the regions nest outdoor aquatic complex was unveiled in the summer of 1996. Just a few months later, UMBC added a national-class track and eld complex and replaced its main stadium eld with an all-weather articial surface. In the fall of 1999, the department moved into the Retriever Activities Center, which doubled the size of its existing indoor facility and provided all students with the top of the line in recreational facilities. Baseballs Alumni Field was improved during Dr. Browns tenure with the addition of permanent seating and was later renamed The Baseball Factory Field at UMBC in a dedication ceremony following the addition of lights to the eld in 2005. UMBC Soccer Stadium was constructed in 1999 and a new Bermuda grass surface - the only one of its kind in the conference - was dedicated in 2006. Chairback seating and a video display scoreboard were added to the arena in 2000. Lights were added to the tennis complex in 2005 and the courts were resurfaced and outfitted with Retriever wind screens. Field turf was added to the stadium in 2005 and a new $5 million stadium locker room complex was completed in the spring of 2008. Dr. Browns impact has been felt beyond The Loop, as well. He has served two terms as president of the Maryland Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics and served a term on the NCAA Division-I Championships/Competition Cabinet, where he inuenced other directors to increase student-athlete participation in NCAA Championship competition. Dr. Brown is also currently on the board of the Howard County tennis patrons. He is the fourth person to hold the position of athletic director on a permanent basis in the 41-year history of UMBC. W. Richard Mentzer served from 1966-68, followed by E. Richard Watts, Jr., who directed the program from 1968-1985. Rick Hartzell led UMBC into Division I athletics in the fall of 1985, prior to Dr. Browns arrival in June of 1989. Currently residing in Ellicott City, Md., with his wife, Linda, Dr. Brown, received his bachelor of science degree from Long Island University in 1967 and earned a master of science from Brooklyn College in 1969 and a Doctorate in Physical Education from Springeld College in 1980.
