University of Mississippi Women's Cross Country

Price-Smith brings an impressive resumé of credentials to Oxford from her days as an athlete and as a coach. She will be the women's head coach for Team USA at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, while she has been a highly successful college head coach following her career as a professional thrower. Over the last 14 seasons as head coach at her alma mater, Southern Illinois University, she led the Saluki women to four Missouri Valley Conference titles and finished a program-best ninth in the nation at the 2010 NCAA Outdoor Championships and 2015 NCAA Indoor Championships. She also directed the men to a pair of league titles. A six-time MVC Coach of the Year, Price-Smith mentored 206 MVC individual champions, 19 MVC Most Valuable Athletes, 51 first team All-Americans and eight individual NCAA champions during her time as both the head women's coach (2002-04) and at the helm of the combined program (2005-15). The 2015 season may have been the best in SIU track & field history, as Price-Smith guided the women's team to a ninth-place national finish indoors and 12th place outdoors. Her pupils were crowned NCAA individual champion three times in 2015, as freshman Raven Saunders captured the indoor and outdoor shot put titles and junior DeAnna Price won gold in the outdoor hammer throw. In addition to Saunders and Price, the record-breaking female athletes who have flourished under Price-Smith include U.S. throwing standouts Brittany Riley, Jeneva Stevens and Gwen Berry, as well as Bahamian long jumper Bianca Stuart, among others. Men's standouts include throwers Josh Freeman and J.C. Lambert and high jumper Kyle Landon. SIU became known as a home for NCAA champions under Price-Smith. In addition to Saunders and Price in 2015, other NCAA champions were Jeneva (then) McCall in the 2012 indoor weight throw and outdoor hammer; McCall in the 2010 outdoor discus; and Riley in the 2007 and 2008 indoor weight. National runners-up included Lambert in the 2012 indoor weight; McCall in the 2011 outdoor hammer and 2012 indoor shot put; Riley in the 2007 and 2008 outdoor hammer; and Amarachi Ukabam in the 2006 indoor weight. Price-Smith's SIU teams finished top 25 at the NCAA Championships 11 times, including a pair of top-10 results. The women won MVC indoor titles in 2005 and 2009 and outdoor titles in 2009 and 2010. The men were crowned league indoor champions in 2012 and outdoor victors in 2015. She was tabbed MVC Coach of the Year for the 2005 and 2009 indoor seasons, 2009 and 2010 outdoor seasons, 2012 indoors and 2015 outdoors. Price-Smith is no stranger to coaching on the international stage, either. She was the head women's coach for Team USA at the 2011 IAAF World Championships (Daegu, South Korea), the 2013 World University Games (Kazan, Russia) and the 2007 Pan American Games (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). She served as an assistant coach at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2012 London Olympics, as well as the 2004 World Junior Championships (Grosseto, Italy), the 2005 World Indoor Championships (Budapest, Hungary) and with the U.S. 2006 World Cup Team (Athens, Greece). Price-Smith began her coaching career as a volunteer assistant coach at Ohio State upon the completion of her 15 years as a professional athlete. During her decade-and-a-half career as a world-class thrower, Price-Smith was a 25-time U.S. champion in the shot put and discus and a member of 34 international U.S. squads. She participated in four Olympic Games - 2000 (Sydney), 1996 (Atlanta), 1992 (Barcelona) and 1988 (Seoul) with a best finish of fifth in the shot put in her home country at the 1996 Atlanta Games. Thats the best finish by a U.S. woman in the event since 1960. In 1992, Price-Smith became the first woman to win both the shot put and discus at an Olympic trial in 32 years. In 1995, she became the first U.S. woman in 35 years to win a World Championship medal in the shot put after claiming silver - still the highest finish by an American woman ever in the shot. Price-Smith is a 1985 graduate of Southern Illinois University. She only competed in track & field her senior year at SIU after an outstanding four-year college basketball career. She still ranks among the school's all-time leaders with 1,271 points and 744 rebounds, while she maintains the single-season record for best field goal percentage at .650, which led the nation her junior year. At the urging of SIU track & field standout John Smith, whom she married in 1990 and now coaches alongside, Price-Smith threw the shot put for the first time as a senior and quickly became dominant in both the shot and discus, winning MVC indoor and outdoor titles in the shot in 1985. And the rest is history. A 1990 Saluki Hall of Fame inductee, Price-Smith also received the SIU Distinguished Alumni Award in 2001 and was named the Administrative/Professional Woman of Distinction in 2007. She was also selected for induction to the Drake Relays Hall of Fame in 2003 and the Missouri Valley Conference Hall of Fame in 2012 as an Institutional Great. Most recently in 2014, Price-Smith was enshrined into the St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame. Monday, November 14, 2016 - Football Freeze said that it was good meeting with the team yesterday.

Vanhoy helped the mens team continue dominance in the SEC and contention at the National level. The Rebels won a program best five SEC titles at the 2016 Indoor Championships, four of which were in distance races. Robert Domanic won the mens mile, Ryan Walling won the mens 3000m and 5000m and the quartet of Trevor Gilley, Craig Engels, Ryan Manahan, and Robert Domanic won the third straight mens distance medley relay championship, all of which Vanhoy was a coach for.   Ryan Walling was named co-winner of the Cliff Harper Trophy (most points in SEC meet) and his win in the 3000m was the first SEC Championship at the event in school history while the distance medley relay quartet were named All-Americans, another first for the program.   The Rebels finished the meet with a total of six All-Americans (five being distance runners) tying the school record for the Indoor Championships.  Vanhoys coaching allowed the Rebels to sweep the mens distance races at the meet, while finishing 1-2-3 in the mens mile (Domanic, Sean Tobin, Manahan) and 3000m (Walling, Tobin, Wesley Gallagher). The Rebels also set school records in four womens distance events. The quartet of Britt Ummels, Jolie Carbo, Shelby Brown and Leanna Zimmer ran a program best 11:28.27 in the womens distance medley relay. The Ummels twins were able to set school records as well. Britt Ummels added a 3000m school record to her part in the DMR, running a 9:24.09 while her sister, Bo Ummels set a school record in the womens mile running a 4:47.10. Emily Bean finished off the school records on the womens side by running a 16:21.96 in the 5000m.   At the 2016 SEC outdoor meet the men finished fifth, the second best finish all-time at the meet. While the men also turned in five All-Americans, first teamers Domanic and Engels (1500m), MJ Erb (steeplechase), Walling (5000m) and second team member Holland Sherrer (800m).  During the 2015 cross country season, the Rebels were able to earn five All-Region honors; Tobin, Engels, Erb, Robertson, Tobin and Domanic. Robert Domanic also became only the second three-time All-Region runner in program history, the other being Barnabas Kirui (2006, 2009, 2010). Mary Alex England was named 2nd team All-SEC as well. With Brandon Harvey earning a spot on the SEC All-Freshman team. At the 2015 NCAA South Region the mens team was able to finish 2nd earning them a trip to the NCAA Championships. The women finished in a program-best 7th. During his second season in 2014-15, Vanhoy has helped guide the men's distance program into uncharted territory. The Rebels set a school record with 14 entries at the 2015 NCAA Outdoor Championships, including 1500-meter runners Robert Domanic and Trevor Gilley, who were the first Rebels to ever qualify for nationals in the event. Additionally, Craig Engels competed in the 800 during the event.   At the SEC outdoor meet, Ole Miss claimed a remarkable four of the top eight finishers in the mens 1,500 meters and five of the top 10, led by Engels in third place.  Vanhoy helped the Ole Miss men to their best SEC indoor finish in 31 years as the Rebels came in fourth. Senior Daniel Bulmer upset the field to win the 2015 SEC indoor mile title, and Bulmer was joined by Dameon Morgan, Holland Sherrer and Engels in capturing the Rebels second straight SEC distance medley relay championship. Additionally, Engels was runner-up in the mile, and the Rebels had scoring performances by M.J. Erb in the 3,000 and 5,000 meters.  The indoor mile and outdoor 1,500 have seen perhaps the most impressive feats since Vanhoy arrival. On the mens side, four of the top six outdoor 1,500 runners in school history have been coached by Vanhoy and six of the top eight indoor milers. On the womens side, its been six of the top nine in the outdoor 1,500 and seven of the top 11 in the indoor mile.  The Rebel men won the 2014 NCAA South Region Cross Country Championship and made the first NCAA team appearance in program history. They were runners-up at the SEC cross country meet, matching the best finish in program history with the 1968 squad.   Under Vanhoys tutelage, Wesley Gallagher, Sean Tobin and Robert Domanic all finished in the top seven at both the South Region and SEC meets and earned All-Region and All-SEC first team honors. Tobin was voted the SEC Cross Country Co-Freshman Runner of the Year.   On the track in 2014, the distance runners contributed big points to the Ole Miss men's best SEC outdoor finish in 30 years (fifth place) at the SEC Championships. That included Domanic's runner-up in the 1,500 meters and Tobin's bronze medal in the 5,000. The indoor season was just as productive, as the Rebels won their first ever SEC title in the distance medley relay with the grouping of Domanic, Montez Griffin, Will Spiers and Tobin. A native of Clonmel, Ireland, Tobin was SEC runner-up in the mile and also became the first Ole Miss runner to ever run a sub-4 minute mile (3:59.91). He was tabbed the SEC Indoor Co-Freshman Runner of the Year by the league coaches. Vanhoy came to Oxford after one year at Northeastern University and the previous three at the University of North Carolina.  At Northeastern, Vanhoy coached NU runners to four Colonial Athletic Association conference titles and helped develop Eric Jenkins into an All-American in the indoor 3,000 meters and outdoor 5,000 meters. In 2013, Jenkins became the fourth-fastest American collegian ever at 5,000 meters (13:18.57) and also ran a sub 4-minute mile (3:58.11).  Vanhoy spent the previous three years with the North Carolina Tar Heels, where he helped produce two Atlantic Coast Conference champions, five NCAA East Preliminary qualifiers and two Olympic Trails qualifiers. In 2012, he guided Isaac Presson and Ashley Verplank to conference titles in the mile and 1,500 meters, respectively.  After two years as an assistant coach at UNC, Vanhoy was promoted to head men's and women's cross country coach in January 2012 and was responsible for recruiting and implementation of training programs for more than 40 student-athletes, in addition to other administrative and operational duties.  During the 2012-13 season, he mentored the men's distance medley relay team, which broke a school record that had stood for 27 years.  Prior to his promotion, Vanhoy worked as an assistant track and field and cross country coach for two seasons. While coaching the men's middle distance runners, he also managed areas of team compliance, travel and recruiting.  Vanhoy, who was a member of the Tar Heels' track team, graduated from North Carolina in 2009 with a Bachelor's of Science in biology. The Asheboro, N.C., native earned his master's degree in exercise physiology from UNC in 2012. Monday, November 14, 2016 - Football Freeze said that it was good meeting with the team yesterday.

Scott spent the previous 11 seasons at Southern Illinois, the first 10 as an assistant and the last as associate head coach under Connie Price-Smith. In his time with the Salukis, Scott's jumpers won numerous All-America honors, broke every women's SIU all-time record, set a handful of national standards around the world and helped the Salukis win the 2009 Indoor and Outdoor Missouri Valley Conference Championships as well as the women's 2005 MVC indoor title and the 2015 men's title. Some of Scott's most prestigious pupils during his tenure at Southern included Bahamian long jump record holder and 2012 Olympian Bianca Stuart, two-time All-American Malaikah Love, Bahamian high jump record holder Kenya Culmer and two-time All-American high jumper Kyle Landon. The 2015 season was perhaps one of Scott's most prolific on a conference level, as his men won four of six possible MVC titles and Lauren Cheadle repeated as the indoor long jump champion. Landon became just the fifth Saluki in history to earn All-American honors in each of his first two seasons, finishing tied for seventh in the high jump at the indoor national meet. Landon remained perfect at the MVC meet in the high jump, sweeping the indoor and outdoor editions yet again to improve to 4-0. Luke James successfully defended his outdoor triple jump title, giving Scott and SIU its fourth-straight outdoor triple jump title and fifth overall in the last four years. Sophomore Franklin Adams won his second career MVC title with an outdoor long jump crown. The 2014 season was also another strong year for Scott's jumpers, who won six MVC outdoor titles. James kept the streak alive in the outdoor triple jump, Culmer broke the six-foot plateau to win the indoor title and earn a trip to the indoor national meet, Cheadle and Adams both won their first career long jump titles, and Landon completed the indoor-outdoor sweep of the high jump as a freshman. Landon was the story of the year, as he qualified for the national meet and ended up finishing an incredible third in the nation, the highest finish for any Saluki male outdoors since 1992. Over Scott's first nine seasons (2005-13), he coached 22 Salukis to MVC individual titles, as well as producing a number of All-Americans on the women's side. Among his top pupils during those years were Stuart and Love. From 2006-09, Scott was able to coach Stuart, a native of Nassau, Bahamas, who went on to set the Bahamian outdoor long jump record of 6.81m/22-4.25 in 2011 and break it again at 6.83m/22-5 in 2015. She competed for Team Bahamas at the 2012 London Olympics and is poised for a return in the 2016 Rio Games. In Stuart's four years under Scott's tutelage, she won seven MVC titles in the long jump (four indoor, three outdoor), broke the school record an impressive seven times and set MVC all-time indoor and outdoor records. She earned All-America honors twice in her Saluki career (2008 outdoors, 2009 indoors) and was the first Saluki female jumper to earn All-America status indoors -- the second Saluki female jumper ever. From 2009-12, Love also flourished under Scott's guidance. She finished as a two-time All-American in the pentathlon, a two-time second-team All-American, nine-time MVC champion, the all-time MVC record holder in the pentathlon and the all-time SIU record holder in four events (pentathlon, heptathlon, indoor and outdoor triple jump). She won a staggering five MVC titles in 2011 alone. Scott came to Southern Illinois in 2004 after spending two seasons as the jumps coach at Pittsburgh. There he coached one All-American, two Big East and Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) triple jump champions and four NCAA Regional qualifiers. Since 2000, Scott has coached seven professional athletes, including his wife, Colleen Scott, a triple and long jumper for Jamaica. Scott has also coached Trecia Smith, the current Jamaican national record holder in both the indoor and outdoor triple jump, who finished fourth at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. Prior to 2000, Scott spent a year as a volunteer coach at his alma mater, Auburn, where he was a seven-time all-American triple jumper and three-time SEC champion as both a jumper and a sprinter. At Seminole High School in Sanford, Florida, Scott was named the Boys Track and Field Gatorade Player of the Year in 1994. Scott graduated from Auburn in 1998 with a bachelor's degree in health promotion. He and his wife have one son, Sterling.

Acklin's young Saluki sprinters showed significant improvement from previous years. Freshman Mystique Thompson took SIU's record book by storm, clocking in the third-best 60 meter time (7.55), fifth-best indoor 200 (24.74), fourth-best 100 (11.66) and seventh-best outdoor 200 (24.11) in school history. Acklin was also able to get production out of 100 and 200-meter sprinter Tyrone Echols, All-MVC hurdler Remy Abrought, 400-meter All-Missouri Valley Conference honoree Nikolai Gall, 400-meter sophomore Jessica Jump and utility man Kemar Jones. In his lone season in Carbondale, Acklin sent three of his sprinters to the NCAA West Regional in Thompson, Gall and Abrought. Acklin came back to Carbondale after two successful stints as an assistant coach at the NJCAA level at Iowa Central Community College (2009-14) and Rend Lake College (2006-09). At Iowa Central, Acklin was part of seven NJCAA National Championship teams with the Tritons - one of the top junior college track programs in the country. While on staff, the Triton men won the indoor national title three times (2011, 2012, 2014) and the women won three indoor titles (2010, 2012, 2014) and one outdoor title (2013). With Iowa Central, Acklin was named the NJCAA Indoor Assistant Coach of the Year three times -- most recently in 2014 with the Triton women. In 2011 alone, Acklin coached three Triton male hurdlers who ran 13.90 seconds or faster in the 110-meter hurdles at the national meet outdoors, and among them they won both the 110 and 400 hurdle titles that year. Acklin had similar success with Rend Lake in his three seasons in Ina, Ill. The Warriors swept both the men's and women's indoor NJCAA national titles in 2008 with Acklin on staff - the only two national titles in Rend Lake track history. In eight years as an assistant coach at the junior college level, Acklin produced 97 All-Americans and 43 NJCAA National Champions. Some of Acklin's most prominent pupils have gone on to compete for their own national teams. At Iowa Central, Acklin coached four national team members: Adriana Bradford (USA, 2010), Nathan Arnett (Bahamas, 2010-11), Teshon Adderley (Bahamas, 2012) and Reyare Thomas (Trinidad and Tobago, 2011-12). Bradford was a member of Team USA for the 2010 Thorp Cup; Arnett, an eventual DI transfer to Mississippi State, was the 2010 Bahamian 400 meter hurdle runner-up and NACAC team member; Adderley, who later transferred to Minnesota, was a member of the Bahamian CAC and World Junior Team; and Thomas, who eventually transferred to Abilene Christian, represented Trinidad and Tobago in the 2011 World Championships and the 2012 London Olympics. Acklin's most famous pupil, though, is Olympic silver medalist Ryan Bailey. Acklin coached Bailey at Rend Lake, where Bailey won two individual NJCAA titles (indoor 55 meter dash, outdoor 100 meter dash). In the 2012 London Games, Bailey was the anchor on the American 4x100-meter relay with Tyson Gay, Justin Gatlin and Trell Kimmons that won silver and broke the all-time U.S. record in 37.04, finishing second to Usain Bolt's Jamaican team. Bailey was also a finalist in the 100, where he finished fifth. Acklin is a 2006 SIU graduate with a bachelor's degree in liberal arts and was a three-time MVC Champion for the Salukis on the track from 2004-06, with 110-meter hurdle titles in 2005 and 2006 and a 4x100-meter relay crown in 2006. He still ranks high in the SIU record books in the 110-meter hurdles (13.68) and the indoor 60-meter hurdles (7.92). That 110-meter time finished as the sixth-best in the NCAA in 2006. Before SIU, Acklin was a two-time NJCAA All-American at Wallace State Community College. He is a native of Glassboro, New Jersey, where he went to Triton Regional High School and was inducted into Triton's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2013. As of Feb. 2015, Acklin is a USATF Level III and IAAF Level V certified coach in sprints and hurdles, the highest possible certification.

Smith brings a wealth of experience and success to the Rebel program. A five-time USTFCCCA Midwest Region Assistant Coach or Coach of the Year (2005, 2010, 2011, 2015, 2015) and the 2015 USTFCCCA National Women's Assistant Coach of the Year, Smith turned Southern Illinois into a throwers' powerhouse over his 11-year tenure with the Salukis. Before joining the Saluki coaching staff in 2004, Smith mentored 20 Big Ten champions, 19 All-Americans, 15 national qualifiers and two NCAA champions in five years as an assistant at Ohio State. An All-American shot putter himself while a student-athlete at SIU, he had unparalleled success in his coaching tenure at his alma mater. Over 11 seasons, he accumulated eight NCAA champions, 52 All-Americans, 66 Missouri Valley Conference champions, one NCAA Indoor National Athlete of the Year and one world record in the women's weight throw -- the latter two courtesy of two-time NCAA champion Brittany Riley. Most recently, Smith and his throwers put on one of the best and most dominant showings in the ring in SIU history and across the nation in 2014-15. With the arrival of all-time girls' national record holder Raven Saunders and the return of the injured DeAnna Price, Smith was in possession of perhaps his best throws squad of his career, and they did not disappoint. Saunders, who has since transferred to Ole Miss, immediately announced her presence as the best in the country, shattering the SIU, MVC, MVC Championships and American Junior indoor and outdoor shot put records en route to two NCAA shot put titles -- both won in dramatic fashion on her very last throw. Price turned a lot of heads after a third-place finish in the weight throw at the indoor national meet, but proceeded to stun the world by winning the NCAA hammer throw title outdoors on a gargantuan NCAA meet record heave of 71.49m/234-6 -- making her the third-best hammer thrower in NCAA history (and yet second at SIU behind NCAA No. 2 Riley). But not even two weeks later, Price did it again in the same ring, unleashing one 72.30m/237-2 to come within three inches of a USA title and punch her ticket to Beijing for the 2015 IAAF World Championships. She placed 16th in Beijing with a throw of 68.89m/226-0. Earlier in the season, Smith and his throwers led a clinic on the conference level, scoring an impossible 216 MVC meet points in 2014-15. Smith actually only lost one MVC event all season: the women's discus. The efforts of his male throwers -- particularly in the discus on day three -- helped the Saluki men win their first outdoor MVC title since 1992. As a student-athlete at SIU from 1980-84, Smith won eight MVC titles in the shot put, discus and hammer and set records in both the indoor and outdoor shot put that still stand today. The Portage, Indiana, native was part of the legendary 1984 squad that won 13 All-American certificates and two NCAA runners-up that finished fifth outdoors and ninth indoors nationally. In 2007, Smith was named to the MVC's All-Centennial Team. After he graduated in 1984, Smith was a member of two Olympic Festival teams and a part of the USA vs. Great Britain national team. He participated in five national championships, with his highest finish being seventh in the shot put. Before hitting the collegiate coaching scene, Smith was involved with personal high school coaching in the shot put and discus since 1980. He trained 20 Indiana state champions and five Track and Field News High School All-Americans. Two of his student-athletes were national champions and five were named to the U.S. Junior National Team. He began his collegiate coaching career as a postgraduate volunteer assistant coach and strength and conditioning assistant at SIU from 1984-86, where he coached his future wife Connie Price-Smith and SIU's first female All-American Rhonda McCausland. From there, Smith continued his tour as a professional coach, following Price-Smith's highly successful professional career over the next decade. In 1999, he was hired as the throws coach at Ohio State, where he stayed until Southern came calling for him to return to Carbondale five years later. At OSU, Smith coached a slew of magnificent throwers but two that stood out during his tenure were two-time NCAA champion Dan Taylor and future Saluki Amarachi Ukabam. Taylor, a nine-time All-American, two-time Big Ten Indoor/Outdoor Male Athlete of the Year, Ohio State Athlete of the Year and Region V Athlete of the Year, established OSU and Big Ten records in the indoor weight throw and set OSU standards in the hammer and discus outdoors as well. Most notably, Taylor became the first thrower in NCAA history to win both the indoor shot put and weight throw national titles in the same season. Smith also helped establish one of the finest freshman campaigns by an OSU student-athlete with his mentoring of Amarachi Ukabam to Big Ten and NCAA Mideast Regional titles in the discus in 2004. Ukabam followed Smith to SIU later that year where she became a five-time All-American and broke seven MVC records in her first season as a Saluki in 2005. Ukabam competed alongside Brittany Riley, who in 2007 would bring worldwide acclaim to Southern with her world-record shattering mark of 25.56m/83-10.5 in the weight throw set as a Saluki on March 10, 2007. Riley was a six-time All-American who won two NCAA championships (weight throw, 2007-08) and was named the NCAA Indoor National Athlete of the Year in 2007. Smith's Saluki throwers are responsible for two of the greatest seasons in Saluki track and field history. In 2009 the women's outdoor team finished ninth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, the best finish in the women's program history and the third-best national finish ever at SIU. That outdoor season saw eight All-American certificates awarded to Saluki throwers, including sophomore Jeneva McCall's national title in the discus. Four women (McCall, Gwen Berry, Olga Ciura and Sasha Leeth) earned All-America honors in the hammer throw, the most All-America honors for one school in a single event in NCAA history. In 2012, McCall concluded her SIU career in grand fashion with two NCAA titles (weight throw, hammer throw). Those two championships pushed her career total to three, which made her the winningest Saluki in history and the first ever to win multiple titles in the same season. Of the 51 Missouri Valley Conference records SIU holds, 15 record holders are SIU throwers -- 13 of which are pupils of John Smith since 2004. Post-collegiately and internationally, Smith's throwers have gone on to compete successfully in the highly arduous professional throwing circuit. In 2013, Jeneva (now) Stevens became the first American woman to ever medal in the hammer throw in international competition with her gold medal victory at the World University Games in Kazan, Russia. Earlier that same year, former Saluki and Smith disciple Berry won the weight throw national title at the USATF Indoor Championships with the best mark in the world for 2013 at 24.70m/81-10.5. His most notable pupil in his professional coaching career is, of course, his wife -- current Ole Miss head coach Connie Price-Smith. From 1980-84, Price was a standout center on the Saluki basketball team. At the urging of Smith (then a postgraduate volunteer assistant coach), Price threw the shot put and discus in 1985, winning indoor and outdoor MVC shot put titles that very season. What followed for Price was a 14-year professional career that included 18 outdoor national titles, six indoor titles, five Olympic trials titles and four trips to the Olympic Games with Team USA (Seoul, 1988; Barcelona, 1992; Atlanta, 1996; Sydney, 2000). Price became the first American woman to be world-ranked in the shot put for five consecutive seasons (1995-99), the first woman to win both the shot put and discus at an Olympic trial in 32 years (1992), the first American woman to win a World Championship medal in the shot put in 35 years (1995, silver), and her fifth-place finish in the shot put at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta was the highest finish by an American woman since 1960. In addition, Price-Smith won the gold medal at the Pan-American Games in 1999 just prior to Smith's hiring at OSU. Price and Smith were married in 1990 and have been coaching together since Smith joined the SIU staff in 2004. Email Coach Smith - John Smith Hometown: Portage, Ind.

She joins the Rebel program after three years working outside of athletics. She was an intern in the criminal justice division of Metro Nashville (Tenn.) Human Resources as part of her master's degree, followed by a stint with the State Trial Courts in Davidson County, Tennessee, in which she was a case officer and then a program specialist in a probation program for adult felons with either violent charges, drug addictions or mental illness. While at SIU, Leeth was an All-American in the hammer throw and weight throw in 2009-10, while also qualifying for both the NCAA Indoor Championships and Outdoor Championships as a junior and senior. She also earned All-Missouri Valley Conference honors in the hammer throw as a sophomore, junior and senior, while being named All-MVC in the weight throw all four years. She finished her career ranked third all-time in SIU history in both the hammer (62.99m/206-8) and weight (20.78m/68-2.25).
