How did the Bruins react to the situation?
They rode the strong running of tailback Tyler
Ebell and the accurate kicking of Nate Fikse
(five field goals) to run away with a 28-18 victory.
“Our guys were down by 15, and they might
have bellied up right then,” said UCLA head
coach Bob Toledo. “They stayed in there and
worked hard.”
While the youthful Huskies have struggled
this year they can certainly relate to the Bruins’
approach. Washington’s players have continued
to work hard and the much-maligned defense
showed significant improvement in last
Saturday’s loss at Arizona State.
The Husky defense limited the Sun Devils to
just 45 rushing yards and held ASU’s high-flying
passing game to only 184 yards. A week earlier
Sun Devil quarterback Andrew Walter had
blitzed Oregon’s secondary for a Pac-10 record
536 passing yards.
Most teams have been able to move the ball
on the Huskies by passing against an inexperienced Washington secondary, which included
true freshman Nate Robinson as a starter at cornerback last week. Allowing 277.9 passing
yards per game, the Huskies are second to last
in the Pac-10 in that statistical category.
The run is another story.
Washington’s front four and linebackers
have been tough to gain ground against. The
Huskies lead the Pac-10 in rushing defense,
Already No. 1
Tough After Turnovers
Junior quarterback Cody Pickett is having an unprecendented season in terms of his passing statistics. Washington, well-known for producing NFL quarterbacks, has never seen the prolific numbers
that Pickett is posting this season. Only eight games into his junior year, Pickett has already set a new
single-season passing yards record with 2,811 this year (surpassing Cary Conklin’s 2,569 in 1989).
Pickett broke Conklin’s mark in the season’s seventh game. Now with 5,226 career yards, Pickett is
only 517 yards shy of the UW career passing yards record of 5,742 (Brock Huard). Pickett also has a
shot at the Pac-10 single-season passing record, especially with the 12-game schedule this year. Pickett
must throw for 827 yards (an average of 206.8 per game) to break the conference record of 3,637
yards, set by Washington State’s Ryan Leaf in 1997. Pickett’s 2,811 passing yards this
season already rank No. 18 (tied) in Pac-10 history, and he’s only 122 yards away
from the all-time top-10. Last week vs. ASU, he broke Steve Pelluer’s 1983 Husky
record of 213 completions. Pickett now has 228.
While Washington has turned the ball over
four more times than its opponents this year
(14 to 18), the Huskies have been much
more successful turning turnovers into points
than have their opponents. In fact, the
Huskies have scored 10
times after their 14 takeaways, and two of their
missed opportunities
came on a missed field
goal and a blocked field
goal. A third came on
the game’s final play vs.
Arizona, and thus did
not present a chance to
be converted into a
score. In the meantime,
UW opponents have
scored seven times on
18 turnovers – six
touchdowns and one
field goal.
Washington-UCLA Ties
Washington head coach Rick Neuheisel is a graduate of UCLA, having spent five
seasons with the Bruins including the 1983 season, when he led UCLA to the Rose
Bowl, where Neuheisel picked up MVP honors after beating Illinois. Neuheisel also
spent one season (1986) as a volunteer assistant at UCLA before becoming a fulltime assistant from 1988-93. Several other Husky coaches have also coached at
UCLA. Tim Hundley was a linebackers coach for the Bruins for six seasons (199095), Steve Axman was the offensive coordinator for two years (1987-88), and Bobby
Hauck was a grad assistant in Westwood in 1990-91 before serving as assistant
recruiting coordinator in 1992. UCLA head coach Bob Toledo was an assistant at
UCLA in 1994 and 1995, which put him on the same staff as Hundley those two years. Bruins assistant Mark Weber and Hundley were also members of the
same coaching staff at Oregon State from 1987 to 1990. Washington’s roster includes 28 Californians, mostly from the southern part of the state. Several
regular contributors among the Huskies’ roster are from the greater L.A. area: C Todd Bachert (Mission Viejo), CB Sam Cunningham (Westchester), CB
Derrick Johnson (Riverside/Notre Dame), DE Anthony Kelley (Alta Dena/Muir), CB Chris Massey (Moreno Valley), DT Josh Miller (West Covina), WR
Patrick Reddick (Newbury Park), TB Chris Singleton (Fontana) and DT Jerome Stevens (Oxnard). Husky redshirt freshman quarterback Casey Paus is the
younger brother of injured Bruins starting QB Cory Paus. The Bruins’ roster no longer includes any players from the state of Washington.

HUSKY PROFILE / ELLIOTT ZAJAC
by Mason Kelley
t was a warm, sunny afternoon in the
friendly confines of Husky Stadium, as
Elliott Zajac and his fellow Huskies prepared to wrap up their first fall scrimmage in preparation for the season-opening game with Michigan at the Big House
in Ann Arbor.
Thing were moving along briskly until Kevin
Ware laid a crushing block on defensive lineman Manase Hopoi, knocking him onto Zajac’s
right ankle. All was silent as the senior offensive
guard lay on the turf clutching his leg.
“I thought I was done for the season,” Zajac
says. “I thought I would have to fight with the
NCAA for a sixth season, which is virtually
impossible. Luckily that
didn’t happen.”
The threat of a
career-ending injury
prompted Zajac to reflect
on his experience with
the game he loves.
It should have started
in Little League, but even
as a child, Zajac was
Elliott Zajac
deemed too big to play.
“The first time I ever touched pads and a
helmet was my freshman year in high school,”
he says.
From the day he arrived at West High in
Bakersfield, Calif., people could tell that Zajac
was a player. After his sophomore season, Zajac
transferred from smaller West to larger
Bakersfield High School in a concerted effort to
earn a college scholarship.
“BHS was always the dominant school in the
area, and West High was on the downside,”
Zajac says. “I took two buddies with me, and
two other guys from West transferred to different schools.”
Making the move to Bakersfield High
brought with it some tough times for the Zajac
family, which was criticized by the media. Innerdistrict transfers were a hot-button issue in
Bakersfield, and Zajac was one of the first kids
to do it.
“We did it for football,” says Elliott’s mother,
Donna. “West High was not performing on the
field. They had been good in the past but we
knew he would get better coaching at
Bakersfield. It was the best chance that he had
to get a scholarship.”
6
HUSKIES Gameday
At 6-foot-5 and 310 pounds, and capable of bench-pressing more than 500 pounds, Zajac
is a formidable force on the field.
Also factoring in the Zajacs' decision was
the experience of Elliott's older sister, Andrea,
who was having to pay her own way through
college.
“My sister never got a chance to get a scholarship,” he says. “She graduated high school
early and when she went to college, she paid
her own way. In her eyes, I have gotten things a
little bit easier, even though I’ve earned it,
because I am on a full-ride. I want to get the
most out of my chances here and do it for her.”
Andrea insists that having to pay for her own
college tuition has not left her with any grudges
towards her brother.
“I really enjoy going to see his games,” she
says. “He is turning into a really good man. I
am very proud of his maturity. He has really got
his head on straight. He understands that there
is another step if he is unable to play football at
the next level.”
Zajac played well enough in high school to
earn the scholarship he sought, with several
Pac-10 schools expressing interest. He wanted
to get out of California, though, which eliminated many of the Pac-10 powers.
“I made my decision between Washington
and Oregon, and I chose Washington because it
is the evil empire,” he says. “Everyone hates UW
and I like that.”
Since arriving on campus, Zajac has fallen
in love with the weight room, which has turned
him into one of the strongest Huskies ever to
come through the program.
“He is a great kid,” says Husky strength
coach Pete Kaligis, “a kid that has dedicated
himself to this place. That is how our relationship has been built. He will live and die in here.
This is what has made him a great player. He
has done so much, I can’t say enough about the

games.

Continued from page 6
guy.”
Zajac gives much of the credit for his success in the weight room has to Kaligis and former strength coach Bill Gillespie.
“Pete Kaligis has become like a brother to
me,” Zajac says. “He always takes care of me.
He stretches me out before practice, and stays
late to work with me after practice. I just really
thank God that he is willing to work that hard
with me.”
Zajac loves lifting so much, in fact, that he
prefers his accomplishments in the weight
room to anything he has done on the field.
“I have squatted 733 pounds, I can bench
press 505, and I have cleaned 401,” he says. “I
am not a one-lift guy. I like to move around. I
love the weight room and the competition in the
weight room.”
Flash back to Aug. 17, 2002. Zajac is lying
on the field, clutching his broken ankle. The
wait for the x-ray results seems interminable,
but when the news comes back, it’s good —
the break is not as serious as originally feared.
Zajac misses the Huskies’ season-opener at
Michigan, but returns to the field a month later
— six weeks after the injury — for the Pac-10
opener with Cal.
“It feels great to be back,” he says. “It sucks
that I had to come back to a loss, but we fought
valiantly. I think once the team gets on track
and we find our identity things are going to
work out really well.”
Now back in the lineup, Zajac can stop reminiscing about the past, and look forward again
to the future, and the final games of his collegiate career.
“I want to try to be first-team All-Pac-10,”
he says. “I think that would be a huge accolade.
I obviously have had a little setback and I have
a little catching-up to do.”
No one has a better sense of Zajac’s importance on the line than Husky center Todd
Bachert, who doubles as Zajac’s roommate.
“(Dan) Dicks did a good job filling in, but it
is nice to have him back,” Bachert says. “We
were a little off when he first came back but we
are starting to mesh a little bit better. He is really important to the offensive line. He is a good
leader, and he is intense.”
Every year, the team votes on whom they
think is fit to lead the team both on and off the
field. This season, Zajac was voted by his peers
as one of four team captains, an honor he takes
quite seriously.
“It is hard, because you don’t want to yell
and scream at guys,” he says. “You have to
define your own way of leading, because now
you have been voted a leader by your teammates. Guys look to me in the huddle to find
motivation, so I have got to stay focused and
keep everybody rolling.”
Given all he has been through, and all he
has accomplished, it would seem that Zajac
needs to say little to be an inspiration to his
teammates.
Zajac is the lone senior on an
offensive line that boasts one
junior and three sophomores.

HEAD COACH
W
hen Rick Neuheisel attended the 1998 Rose Bowl, to be
inducted into its Hall of Fame, he took the time to enjoy the
moment and bask in the gala and pageantry of the college
football game known simply as “The Granddaddy of Them All.”
As he watched the shadows creep over the Arroyo Seco, and the
sun disappear into the western horizon, he turned to his wife, Susan,
and said, “We’ve got to get back here someday.”
It happened sooner than he expected.
Three years later Neuheisel was back in the Rose Bowl, hoisting
the championship trophy above his head to the delight of 40,000
Husky fans after Washington had dispatched Purdue’s Boilermakers
34-24.
After quarterbacking UCLA to a 45-9 victory against Illinois in the
1984 Rose Bowl, being inducted into the Hall of Fame, and coaching
the Huskies to their seventh Rose Bowl championship, Neuheisel will
long be considered one of the Rose Bowl’s favorite sons.
Neuheisel prefers to deflect the attention for Washington’s ascension back to the top of the college football ranks over the past three
seasons. He will be the first one to credit his players and coaching
staff for making the commitment to return the Huskies to dominance.
When he first arrived in Seattle in January of 1999, Neuheisel
challenged the Huskies to forego any feeling-out process with a new
staff and simply make a commitment to winning.
The results speak for themselves. During his first three years as a
Husky, Neuheisel’s teams have placed second, first and second in the
Pac-10 race. Washington has been ranked in the Associated Press
poll for every game during the past two seasons. The Huskies have
made two trips to the Holiday Bowl and one showing in the Rose
Bowl under Neuheisel.
Last year’s team posted a 8-4 record that included six wins at
Husky Stadium to extend the Huskies’ current home winning streak
to 14 games. A young Husky squad faced five teams that were ranked
in the final Associated Press Poll and picked up wins against three of
those opponents.
Neuheisel’s second Husky squad, the 2000 team, posted the first
10-win season since the 1991 Huskies went 12-0 en route to the
national championship. It was Washington’s first Rose Bowl title in 10
years and its first Rose Bowl appearance since 1992.
The 2000 Huskies were a remarkable team. Washington trailed in
eight of its 11 wins, showing incredible resilience and heart, not to
mention strategy, in pulling off five consecutive fourth-quarter comebacks in a row.
For his efforts, Neuheisel was listed as a finalist for coach of the
year by several different media outlets.
In 1999, his first season as the head football coach at Washington,
Neuheisel accomplished something that none of his predecessors
achieved. He guided the Huskies to a 7-5 record, including an invitation to the 1999 Culligan Holiday Bowl, becoming the first UW coach
to take the team to a bowl game during his inaugural season.
Husky football fans and casual sports followers alike have quickly
embraced Neuheisel for the spark he has added to Washington’s storied football tradition. As a public speaker, he is in high demand.
Neuheisel has spoken at numerous fundraising events and generated
lofty contributions with his charismatic speeches and penchant for
innovative fundraising ideas.
Neuheisel took over the Washington program in January of 1999
after serving as the head football coach at Colorado from 1995 to
1998. His six-year coaching record now stands at 59-24 (.711).
Washington is the second head coaching position for the 41-year
old Neuheisel, who spent seven seasons as an assistant coach prior to
securing the Colorado job. He worked six years at his alma mater,
UCLA, under his college coach Terry Donahue, and was an assistant
coach for one season on Bill McCartney’s staff in Boulder. He was
named the head coach at Colorado on Nov. 29, 1994.
At Colorado, Neuheisel compiled a 33-14 (.702) record and was
3-0 in postseason bowl games. All three of his bowl games were
against Pac-10 Conference opponents. He had 20 wins in his first two
seasons as a college coach, which tied for the fourth-most by a firsttime college coach in the Division I-A modern era. Both of those
Colorado teams finished in the top-10 of the national polls.
Neuheisel had a number of “firsts”
while coaching the Buffaloes:

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT DR. RICHARD L. MCCORMICK
R
ichard L. McCormick became the 28th President
of the University of Washington on September 1,
1995. Educated as a historian, McCormick had a
highly successful career as a faculty member and scholar
before moving into academic administration. During his
first six years at the UW, his leadership has been felt in
almost every area of the University’s work.
McCormick’s top goal as UW President is to preserve
and enhance the academic excellence of
one of the nation’s best public research
universities. This means recruiting and
retaining outstanding faculty, investing in
programs of teaching and research for
the future, and obtaining the resources to
fulfill these goals. McCormick’s leadership contributions include the University
Initiatives Fund, a program of budgetary
reallocation for new, interdisciplinary
opportunities; Tools for Transformation,
a program for supporting innovative transitions in the
academic units; and a new emphasis on undergraduate
involvement in research and other forms of experiential
DIRECTOR
W
hen it comes to recognition, Washington athletic
director Barbara Hedges would prefer that the
spotlight fall on Husky student-athletes. Still, it is
hard not to acknowledge her accomplishments.
Hedges has built the Husky athletic program into one
of the most successful in the nation in a variety of ways.
During the past decade, Washington’s athletic teams have
enjoyed unprecedented success. The Husky program is
also recognized as a leader in gender equity, community
service and outreach programs and Student-Athlete
Support Services.
Most recently, Hedges has focused on improving
Washington’s athletic facilities by more than $100 million.
Her hard work has not gone unnoticed by her peers.
In 1999-2000 Hedges was named the NACDA/Continental
Airlines Athletic Director of the Year for the NCAA
Division I West Region. She was presented the Honda
Award of Merit and the Seattle/King County Sports and
Events Council named her their MVP of the Year Award
Winner.
There is a chalkboard in Hedges’ office filled with
inspirational messages, quotations and philosophies provided by her staff and visitors. One of her passages reads,
“Hope is not a strategy.” It is very appropriate. The successes for Washington’s athletic programs during
Hedges’ tenure that have earned her so many acknowledgements have been forged in hard work, planning and
a commitment to excellence, not just wishful thinking.
The past few years are dramatic proof that Hedges’
approach to building Washington’s overall athletic program into one of the best in the country have been successful. Many of those successes have not been measured in wins and losses.
Washington is currently in the second phase of its
highly-successful “Campaign for the Student-Athlete” that
has helped to generate several major capital improvements on the Montlake Campus. In November of 2000
the newly renovated Bank of America Arena at Hec
Edmundson Pavilion opened to rave reviews. The facility

learning. McCormick has traveled extensively in
Washington to reach out to citizens across the state,
strengthened the UW’s ties with K-12 schools and community colleges, and provided leadership for increasing
the diversity of the UW’s faculty, staff and students.
From 1992 to 1995 McCormick served as Provost
and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and as Executive
Vice Chancellor at the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill. Prior to that, he was Dean of Arts
and Sciences at Rutgers University from 198992 and Chair of the Department of History at
Rutgers from 1987-89.
McCormick received his B.A. in American
Studies from Amherst College in 1969 and a
Ph.D. in History from Yale University in 1976.
He began his teaching career at Rutgers as an
assistant professor of history in 1976 and was
promoted to associate professor in 1981 and
to professor in 1985. President McCormick is
the author of three books and numerous articles on
American political history. In 1985 he held a prestigious
John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship.
OF
McCormick is actively involved in the work of a
number of national and international education organizations including the Association of American
Universities; the Association of Pacific Rim Universities;
the American Association of Colleges and Universities, on
whose Board of Directors he serves; and the BusinessHigher Education Forum. He is also involved in several
local and regional organizations including Seattle’s
Alliance for Education; the Seattle Community
Development Roundtable; and the Greater Seattle
Chamber of Commerce, on whose Board of Trustees he
serves. McCormick is a member of the Board of
Directors of the Advanced Digital Information
Corporation.
McCormick is married to Suzanne Lebsock, a professor in the UW’s history department. Lebsock also held a
Guggenheim Fellowship and is the author of many scholarly articles and two books, one of which won the 1985
Bancroft Prize for the best book in American History. She
recently held a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship, sometimes called a “genius” award. McCormick and Lebsock

Coast. The Arena’s expanded lockerrooms, training
room, equipment room and new breakout meeting
rooms benefit the entire athletic department.
The Arena is also home to numerous community
events including high school championship tournaments
and graduation ceremonies.
The project also provided a home for the new $1
million Husky Hall of Fame that opened in the fall of
2002. For the first time ever, Husky fans and campus visitors have the opportunity to relive
Washington’s rich athletic tradition with an
exhibit room dedicated to documenting
over 100 years of achievements. The Hall
of Fame spans the entire length of the west
end of Bank of America Arena.
During September of 2001 Washington
opened the $29 million Dempsey Indoor
multi-purpose practice facility. With over
100,000 square feet of competition space,
Washington’s student-athletes have the
nation’s finest multi-purpose practice setting for year-round training purposes.
In 2000, Hedges’ relationship with the NFL’s Seattle
Seahawks resulted in a $1 million gift towards the installation of a FieldTurf playing surface in Husky Stadium.
Washington became just the second major college football program in the nation to play on the surface that has
won rave reviews from players on both the collegiate and
professional levels.
In 2001 Washington added a new FieldTurf practice
field on the east end of Husky Stadium.
Still to come are stadium projects for the new soccer
and baseball fields and a renovation of the Conibear
Shellhouse.
It seems like Hedges’ workload is never ending, but
that is a reflection of her commitment to making the
Washington program one of the best in the nation. The
results have been proven on the field of competition.
In just her first year on the job, in 1991, the Husky
football team posted a perfect 12-0 season by defeating
Michigan in the Rose Bowl and winning the national
championship.
Over the past six years the Husky women’s crew
team has won at least one NCAA event title and captured
back-to-back team titles in 1997 and 1998, and again in
2001. During the past five years the Husky softball team
has proven to be the single-best athletic team in a town
that features professional teams in baseball, football,
men’s basketball and women’s basketball, reaching the
College World Series five of the last eight years.
In 2000-01, five Husky squads — men’s and
women’s soccer, football, women’s basketball
and women’s crew — won Pac-10
Conference titles, and nine of the 23 Husky
teams earned final rankings in the top-15
nationally in their respective sports.
Under Hedges’ direction the Husky golf,
baseball and tennis programs have emerged
on the national scene. Men’s soccer, women’s
rowing and softball have all been ranked No.
1 in the nation during the past few years.
Hedges’ efforts in gender equity have
made Washington one of the national leaders
in providing equal opportunities for both male and
female student-athletes. In December of 1997, The
Chronicle of Higher Education cited Washington as “the
only Division I-A institution with an undergraduate
enrollment that was at least 50 percent female to have
achieved substantial proportionality in both scholarships
and participation.”
More important than just championships, under
Hedges’ guidance Washington has become one of the
national leaders in participation for student-athletes and
compliance. Last season over 650 student-athletes competed for Husky teams — the most in the Pac-10.
Hedges received her bachelor’s degree in physical
education from Arizona State University in 1963 where
she was honored as the University’s outstanding physical
education major while also being named to Who’s Who
in American Colleges and Universities. She received her
master’s from the University of Arizona in 1971.
Hedges was born August 23, 1937, in Glendale,
Arizona. She and her husband, John, have two grown
children, Mark and Gregg.

HUSKIES Gameday
HUSKY PROFILE / WOMEN’S CREW
The Huskies’ national-championship varsity four, seen here at the 2000 Windermere Cup, was reunited this fall for the Head of the
Charles Regatta.
by Lisa Krikava
n the early hours of the morning,
when it is still dark and most people
are sleeping, the members of the
University of Washington rowing team
rise groggily from their beds and troop
down to the boathouse for their 6:30 a.m. practice. As the first bright rays of the sunrise illuminate the water, these dedicated rowers are
already hard at work.
Most mornings mark just another typical
practice, but for the first few weeks of October,
these early morning practices have taken on a
new meaning for Carrie Stasiak, Adrienne
Hunter, Lauren Estevenin, Heidi Hurn and Anne
Hessburg. These five Husky rowers are preparing to race at the Head of the Charles, the
largest rowing race in the United States.
The Head of the Charles Regatta, which
takes place in Cambridge, Mass., is one of the
largest two-day rowing events in the world. It
was established in 1965 as a “head of the river”
race, similar in tradition to rowing races held in
England, and is generally three miles long.
Boats race against both each other and the
clock, starting sequentially, approximately fifteen seconds apart. Winners of each race
receive the honorary title of “Head of the River”
or, in this case, “Head of the Charles.”
Although the University of Washington
women’s crew is among the best collegiate programs nationwide, with a pair individual NCAA
championships to its credit in 2002, the
30
HUSKIES Gameday
Huskies have not raced at the Head of the
Charles in more than 10 years.
“Traditionally, we don’t go because it’s not
cost-effective,” says 2001 National Crew Coach of
the Year Jan Harville. “It doesn’t fit into our race
schedule because it’s too early in our season.”
The Huskies do try to attend other larger
events whenever possible. One event the UW
frequents is the Henley Regatta in England, but
due to NCAA restrictions, they are only allowed
to go once every four years. With another trip to
Henley still off in the distant future, Harville
wanted to find other options for her program.
“I was looking for different opportunities
and the Head of the Charles seemed to be the
best fit,” she says. “It’s a fun and exciting race
to participate in.”
Fun is not the only reason for racing, however.
“I want to go and represent not only UW, but
also the West Coast schools in a race that traditionally has been dominated by East Coast
schools,” says Stasiak, the team Commodore.
“Rowing is often thought of as a sport that is
owned by the East Coast and I want to show
them what we have out here in the west.”
Stasiak, Hurn, Hunter, Estevenin and
Hessburg have a successful history together. As
freshmen in 2000, the five were undefeated in
the women’s novice eight and went on as a varsity four to capture the NCAA championship.
Continuing to be successful throughout their
sophomore and junior years, the five were
reunited in 2002 in the varsity eight, where they
again went undefeated en route to an NCAA
crown.
“I’m really excited to get back in the boat
with these four,” says coxswain Hessburg. “We
had such an amazing freshman year, and now to
be back together three years later is going to be
great.”
The Head of the Charles has a notoriously
difficult course. Situated on a river with a current, boats have to steer under and around five
bridges, sharp turns and narrow sections where
it is impossible to pass without veering offcourse.
With a borrowed boat and oars from the
Harvard women’s team, the Huskies will be
starting the race in the middle of the pack, surrounded by their competition. Although head
races are against the clock, it can become very
intense on the water when two boats fight for
position on the course.
“There are going to be a lot of boats that
will try to keep us from passing them,” says
Hessburg. “It’s going to be a battle out there.”
All are confident, however, that the Huskies
will be contenders at the finish line.
“We definitely want to do well,” says
Harville. “In terms of results and what they
mean, this race is not going to be a big indicator for how our season is going to go. I’m not
expecting this to be our peak performance,
especially three weeks into school, but obviously we are going to put it all out there and do
our best.”
Husky fans expect nothing less from a team
remains among the best, year after year.
W
ith the stinging memory of a 23-6 loss to Michigan in the 1981 Rose Bowl as motivation, the
Huskies entered the 1981 regular season determined to right what had gone wrong the
previous season. A 9-2 regular season, including a 13-3 win over third-ranked USC and a
23-10 win over the 14th-ranked Washington State Cougars earned the Huskies a trip back to
Pasadena in 1982, and a shot at revenge against the Big Ten Conference.
Washington entered the game against Iowa as an underdog for
the fourth time in as many bowl games under Don James, and
for the fourth time, the Huskies ignored the odds.
Sparked by the 142-yard, two-touchdown performance of
game MVP Jacque Robinson, and a trio of interceptions by Ken
Driscoll, Vince Newsome and Derek Harvey, the Huskies routed
Iowa 28-0 for the fourth of seven UW
Rose Bowl titles all-time.

UNIVERSITY
OF
CALIFORNIA AT LOS ANGELES
UCLA: One of the Nation’s Premier Universities
s one of the nation’s premier universities,
UCLA has come so far, so fast in its rise to
the top tier of institutions of higher education. From its celebrated faculty to its high-achieving students and distinguished alumni, UCLA’s
College of Letters and Science and 11 professional
schools are committed to advancing the common
good through research, teaching and active participation in the communities they serve. Uniquely
positioned at the crossroads of the world’s
economies and cultures, UCLA combines outstanding intellectual achievement with an innovative, entrepreneurial style and a deep sense of
civic responsibility. Some of the university’s more
notable recent achievements include:
Faculty, Students & Alumni
UCLA faculty have been awarded Nobel Prizes
two recent years: biochemist Paul Boyer in chemistry (1997) and pharmacologist Louis Ignarro in
medicine (1998). Among faculty there have been
three other Nobelists, nine National Medals of
Science recipients and hundreds of Guggenheim
Fellowships, Fulbright Awards and other academic
distinctions. UCLA educates more students than
other university in California and was the most
sought-after institution in the nation for this fall’s
freshman class. Each year at UCLA, more than
2,000 undergraduates participate in the Student
Research Program, working one-on-one with
world-renowned scholars as they discover and create new knowledge. UCLA’s alumni are bright stars
on the world stage. They include leaders of industry and commerce. Oscar, Grammy, Tony and
Emmy winners. Philanthropists and public servants.
Olympians and professional athletes. Educators,
engineers, bankers and astronauts. Founded in
1934, the UCLA Alumni Association serves more
than 75,000 members with a comprehensive array
of services, programs and activities.
Books & Technology
The UCLA Library is ranked among the top 10
academic research libraries in North America
with holdings of nearly 7.5 million volumes. From
the birth of the Internet at UCLA 30 years ago to
today, where more than one million cyber-travelers pass through key Internet home pages each
month, UCLA continues to be a leader in
resources for learning. UCLA is nationally recog-

nized for developing ground-breaking computer
services for undergraduates and was the first university to have a Web site for every undergraduate
student. The university provides an innovative, online tool called “My.ucla.edu,” which provides a
Web page tailored to each student’s academic
needs.
Outreach & Community Service
From its founding, UCLA has been an integral
and contributing part of the greater Los Angeles
community. Outreach programs and volunteerism
are as much a part of UCLA as academics and
research, with hundreds of UCLA-sponsored programs providing a wide range of opportunities.
Nearly 30 percent of UCLA’s undergraduates volunteer for these programs, including tutoring
youths, adults and incarcerated youths; addressing health and educational needs of underserved
communities; combating poverty and homelessness; aiding the elderly and disabled; and providing legal, social, medical and educational assistance to community residents.
Through academic outreach, UCLA works with
K-12 schools throughout Los Angeles to help
greater numbers of students prepare to compete
successfully for college. UCLA also is partnering
with community colleges
to increase the number of
underrepresented students
transferring to the university. Additionally, UCLA faculty, researchers and students provide leadership
and public service in
health care, law, economic
development, social welfare, urban planning, public policy, arts and the
Bob Toledo
environment. Most acadeHead Coach
mic departments have
major research projects, field studies or student
internships that directly effect people’s lives in Los
Angeles, the state and the nation.
Health Care
Each year more than 300,000 patients from
Southern California, the U.S. and around the
globe come to the world-renowned UCLA Medical
Center for treatment, while thousands more area
residents receive care through a network of primary care offices and community outreach health
programs. The four schools in the medical enterprise are medicine, dentistry, nursing and public
health. The medical center has been ranked as
the best hospital in the West by U.S. News &
World Report for 11 consecutive years.
Groundbreaking research is constantly taking
place in the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer
Center, the Gonda (Goldschmied) Neuroscience
and Genetics Research Center and in many other
centers and laboratories on campus.
Arts
A diverse array of public arts programming
makes UCLA the leading arts and cultural center
of the West. More than 500,000 people regularly
attend arts events including theater, music, opera
and dance performances, lectures, poetry readings, exhibitions, film screenings, and media arts
that are presented by UCLA’s two professional arts
schools. Check the web sites at www.arts.ucla.edu
and www.tft.ucla.edu for more information.
Lifelong Learning
Another prime example of UCLA’s connecting
with the community is through UCLA Extension,
one of the nation’s largest divisions of continuing
higher education, offering more than 4,500
courses each year in diverse fields of study.
The university conducts guided walking tours
and distributes self-guided tour maps. For further

HUSKY PROFILE / KEVIN WARE
by Steve Hitchcock
he temperature is 100 degrees — OK, 110
degrees if you factor in the humidity.
Kevin Ware rises from his bed in his hometown of Spring, Texas, and smiles. What a
beautiful day for a workout.
“I was born in San Diego, and my parents
made the move to Texas, that was basically where I was
raised,” says the 6-foot-3, 255-pound Husky tight end. “I
love Texas to death when all is said and done.”
In the state of bigger and better, George W., and the
Texas Longhorns, it may be a bit confusing as to how
Ware ended up in the great Northwest, instead of one of
the many storied football programs of the Lone Star state.
True, too, is the fact that the University of Washington primarily recruits players from the West Coast.
So how did this gem of a player pick the Huskies?
“It was a personal choice,”
Ware says. “I knew this was ‘Tight
End U,’ and I had my heart
focused on playing tight end. I
knew this was probably the best
place for me to go. I made the
trip up here and loved it, and I’ve
loved it ever since.”
Kevin Ware
Just one of three Texas natives
on the Huskies’ 2002 roster (joining senior linebacker
Houdini Jackson and freshman defensive back Scott
Ballew), Ware’s assessment of the Huskies’ tight end history is certainly accurate. The past six UW starters (and
one back up) at the tight end position have gone to the
pro ranks, and two — Mark Bruener and Ernie Conwell
— have started in the Super Bowl. The Huskies’ history,
though, and the implications for Ware himself, are furthest from his mind on game day. He is more concerned
with blocking the oxen on the opposing defensive line.
“It’s a tough position, because you’ve got to hang in
there with the big boys,” he says. “When you’re messing
around with the 300-pounders, you’ve definitely got to
40
HUSKIES Gameday
buckle the chin straps up a little tighter and get ready to
go. I’ll always have that mind set as a tight end: block
first and catch second; that’s just how I’ve always been.
Catching balls and getting your name in the paper has
always just been a bonus for me.”
This year, that bonus has come practically every week.
After catching only eight balls in his first three years on
the field, Ware has made a significant impact as a senior
with four touchdowns in the team’s first seven games,
including one in the Big House amidst 108,000 cheering
Michigan fans, and a pair of scores against Idaho.
“The fun part of this game is to go out there and see
how you do against some of the top guys,” Ware says.
Continued on page 42

first seven games
equal the most by
any Husky tight end
since 1986.
KEVIN WARE
Continued from page 40
“You get to go out there and whup their head
around a little bit, and that feels really good.”
Ware started out playing football in the peewee ranks, and although he has settled in nicely
at the tight end position, it isn’t necessarily
where he thought he would end up.
“I remember one day back when I was in
elementary school and I was at lunch,” he says.
“I saw kids coming to class with their little football pants and little jerseys on and it looked
interesting. I thought, ‘What are these guys
doing?’ I talked to my dad, and said I wanted to
try it. I was a big kid, so at first I played fullback.”
Although football is practically a religion in
Texas, Ware wasn’t sure he wanted to play in
the South. The transition from Texas to Seattle,
though, wasn’t easy.
“The first year was tough,” he says. “Seattle
is a long way from home, so I couldn’t just get
up and leave. I had to grow up fast. I could talk
to my parents every day if I wanted to, and just
hearing their voice was very comforting. You’re
faced with different issues that force you to
grow up in a hurry.”
Ware found it difficult to make friends in the
dorms at Washington, and thus made the decision to join a fraternity, Delta Tau Delta, a route
rarely taken by members of the football team.
“I didn’t like the dorms, it just wasn’t the
place for me,” he says. “I had a good friend at
the fraternity who said it was just a different
experience, a lot of cool guys. I went to the
house and met a lot of cool people, people I
now consider life-long friends.”
The time commitments for both football and
the fraternity made for long days, which made a
third factor — school — that much tougher,
and at the same time, that much more rewarding.
“School was the biggest challenge,” he says.
“In high school, you could easily get by, but
here you’ve got to study your books. Teachers
aren’t going to just give you grades. You’ve got
to have the mindset that you have to go to
school every day and do your readings. It’s
something I had to adjust to. I know a lot of
guys who go elsewhere where school isn’t a big
deal for them. This being one of the top institutions in the country, you’ve got to have your
head in it. Getting an education from this school
is definitely going to help me prosper in life.”
As his freshman year drew to a close, Ware
found himself headed in all the right directions,
and today he finds himself on top of the tight
end world. With success on the field and in the
classroom, it would be easy for Ware to become
cocky and look toward a future in the NFL.
Looking beyond this year, though, is something
the tight end tries to avoid.
“I want to finish school and concentrate on
what I have on my plate right now,” he says. “I

don’t want to get to ahead of my skis. I just
want to keep going out there and playing the
game I love, and keep doing well. I want to
make sure I get my degree. Hopefully I can go
to the professional ranks, but if not, I’ll have my
degree, and start my life from there.”
If the commitment and hard work Ware has
put into college thus far is any indication of
how he will do in the future, the years ahead
look exceedingly bright. Of course, Ware would
never say that himself.
“I’ve got a lot of friends and family watching, and I don’t want to disappoint people,” he
says. “I love the game, and to come to UW and
be a tight end is motivation for myself, to keep
the tradition alive, and to make this school look
great.
“It keeps me going.”
THE UNIVERSITY
OF
WASHINGTON
A Proud Tradition of Academic Excellence
F
ounded in 1861, the University of Washington is one of the foremost
institutions of higher education in the nation, richly combining its
research, instructional and public service missions.
Its internationally acclaimed faculty includes five Nobel Laureates and
the winner of the 1990 National Book Award for Fiction. Washington is
part of an elite group of research universities whose contributions to
American life are unique because they generate the basic knowledge upon
which practical innovations are based.
The UW student body on the Seattle campus totals about 37,000, with
an undergraduate enrollment of approximately 26,800. The UW also has
campuses in Bothell and Tacoma, designed primarily for upper division
(junior and senior) undergraduates and master’s level graduate programs.
Total enrollment at these campuses is about 3,600.
For more than 30 years, the university has been among the country’s
top five institutions in the dollar value of federal research grants and contracts awarded to its faculty. In 2000, the most recent year for which that
data has been collected, the UW ranked second. Total grant and contract
activity for 2001 exceeded $700 million. More than 80 percent of the university’s grant and contract funds come from federal agencies. Research
contributes directly to the educational goals of graduate and professional
students, as well as to those of undergraduates.
Instruction and research at Washington are supported by a library system that is one of the most extensive in the nation, consisting of five major
units and 18 branches, as well as libraries at UW Tacoma and UW Bothell,
together housing more than five million volumes. In addition to offering
instruction in more than 100 academic disciplines, the university offers a
spectrum of continuing education courses that advance technical and professional skills and provide opportunities for personal growth and enrichment.
Washington has 17 major schools and colleges: Architecture and Urban
Planning, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Dentistry, Education,
Engineering, Forest Resources, The Graduate School, The Information
School, Law, Medicine, Nursing, Ocean and Fishery Sciences, Pharmacy,
Public Affairs, Public Health and Community Medicine, and Social Work.
About 90 percent of the University’s undergraduate students are state
residents, although instructional programs draw students from every
region of the country and overseas.
Most freshmen entering Washington are in the top third of their high

with fountains, flowers and greenery.
school graduating classes. In 2001, the average incoming freshman boasted a 3.63 high school grade point average and an 1,159 SAT score.
Beyond its academic and service missions, the UW has a strong economic impact on Washington and the Pacific Northwest.
With about 20,000 employees, Washington is the secondlargest employer in King County. Washington operates the
University of Washington Medical Center and Harborview Medical
Center, which annually provide more than 200,000 days of
patient care and record more than 300,000 visits to their outpatient clinics.
Washington also plays a critical role in attracting new business to the region. It provides these, and established businesses,
with a steady stream of well-educated graduates and with highly
skilled faculty members who assist business and industry in a
variety of ways.
The University of Washington in Seattle is located on 703
acres in the city’s northeast residential area, a beautiful setting on
the shore of Lake Washington and Portage Bay. The majestic
Cascade Mountains can be seen to the east and the Olympics
loom to the west, while the western view includes downtown
Seattle and Lake Union. The combination of this spectacular setting with buildings in both neo-Gothic and modern styles gives the

days and remember how much flexibility and free time they had. While many
college students have additional responsibilities
such as work and families, student-athletes also
carry additional responsibilities and have
numerous time commitments on a daily basis.
Nationwide, student-athletes often voice concern about how to get it all done. How can they
perform at their athletic peak, maintain their
health, excel as students, take advantage of
community outreach opportunities, and still
have a life of their own?
Due to these concerns, in the early 1990’s
the NCAA member institutions adopted regulations limiting the number of games in a season,
the length of the playing season, and the number of hours each day and each week that student-athletes can be required to participate in
athletically-related activities. Those regulations
divide each team’s season into two segments:
one a declared playing and practice season of a
specified length (144 days for most sports),

season, student-athletes cannot be required to
participate in athletically-related activity for
more than four
hours a day, or 20
hours a week.

activities each
week. Outside of the playing and practice season only strength and conditioning activities are
allowed and student-athletes cannot be
required to participate in those activities for
more than eight hours each week. During this
time period, football student-athletes are also
permitted up to two hours of film review within
the permissible eight hours total.
Although these regulations limit the time
demands on student-athletes to some extent, it
is not surprising that student-athletes must still
make every effort, every day, to excel in the
classroom, in the community, and in their chosen sport.

HUSKY PROFILE / PAIGE MACKENZIE
by Mason Kelley
Mackenzie got off to a
hot start in 2002 with a
third-place finish at the
season-opening New
Mexico Inviational.

HUSKIES Gameday
here is nothing quite like
being out on a golf course
— few places that look as
pristine can cause so much
frustration. Golf is a game a
patience, a craft that has to be
refined with years of hard work and
expert tutelage.
Paige Mackenzie has spent much of
her life on the golf course. In fact, her
parents Hugh and Caren have been taking Paige and her brother, fellow Husky
golfer Brock Mackenzie, out to the
course since they were toddlers.
“I got my first set of golf clubs when
I was three and I just started chipping
away with my parents,” Paige says. “My
parents are not the type of high-pressure, overbearing sports parents,
though. If I did not feel like playing, I
would take my dolls along and play in
the cart. When I wanted to, I could
jump out for a hole or two and then I
would get bored and jump back in the
cart.”
Over time, Mackenzie reached less
for the dolls and more for the golf
clubs, eventually becoming determined
to play at the collegiate level. Her brother made the trek to UW a year before
Paige, but that wasn’t a major factor in
her decision to become a Husky.
“I took visits to Oregon, Oregon
State, and Cal,” Mackenzie says. “The
fact that Brock was here was good, but
we weren’t very close in high school; we
didn’t get close until he left for UW. He
may have had some influence, but I just
wanted to be a Husky.”
A native of Yakima, Wash.,
Mackenzie was intimidated as much by the balance of
school and sports as she was by the transition from small
town to big city.
“My first quarter was really tough on me,” she says.
“Golf took up so much of my time that there wasn’t much
time left for school. I was a really good student in high
school and I was used to devoting as much time as I
needed to do well in school.”
Having a year under her belt has helped Mackenzie in
her development, both as a student and a golfer. Once she
developed a routine and became more comfortable with
her surroundings, it was smooth sailing.
“There has been a huge difference in her game this
year,” says head coach Mary Lou Mulflur. “The first year
is so hard. It doesn’t matter how close or how far you are
away from home. There is nothing that can prepare you
for the rigors of athletics at this level. She is a completely
different player from last year to this year.”
That is not to say that Mackenzie did not have an
impact on the team as a freshman. She competed in every
tournament and was the top Husky finisher at the NCAA
Championships at Washington National Golf Course in
Auburn, Wash.
“Paige had an immediate impact,” Mulflur says. “She
wants to be the best player on the team. She is not cocky
about it, she just wants to be the best no matter who she
is playing with.”
Now that Mackenzie has had a season to become
acclimated to her surroundings, she has been able to
draw more enjoyment from the game.
“So far this season has been awesome,” Mackenzie
says. “Our team has two second-place finishes. I am so
excited that we have such a great team this year; this season is going to be fun. We are the deepest we have been
in a long time.”
Despite her the early success, Mackenzie remains critical of her game. She is not over-confident and does not
allow herself the luxury of looking back at what she has
accomplished.
“It is hard to look at how far I have come because I
can only see things I need to improve on, so I haven’t
really thought about that too much,” she says. “I have so
much more to work for and so much room to improve.”
Mackenzie’s work ethic is so intense that it is even
hard for coach Mulflur to believe.
“She is a really hard worker,” Mulflur says. “I don’t
know what Caren and Hugh did with those kids but neither one is afraid of hard work. They are not afraid to put
in the long, lonely hours on the practice green or on the
driving range that you have to put in to be successful.”
Mackenzie has come a long way in her year and a half
as a member of the Husky golf team, but has not let success go to her head. She knows what it will take for her
to make it to the LPGA tour, and while that is still two
years away, she can’t hide her desire to make it.
“My goal right now is to turn professional after I finish
college, so I’d better be one of the top golfers in the
country,” she says. “I have to have a name that is recognizable, or else I am not going to make it.”
With her talent and work ethic, Mackenzie is making
sure that her name is not one that will be soon forgotten.

HUSKY PROFILE / JEREMY PARK
by Theresa Ripp
W
hen Jeremy Park toes the line on a cross-country course, he
always knows what he wants to accomplish — he just doesn’t
always expect it to happen.
In 1997, as a junior at Klamath Union High School in
Klamath Falls, Ore., everything Park wanted to accomplish in a
cross-country meet actually happened.
“I came into the state championships and wasn’t expected to finish
even among the top-10,” Park says. “I had just come in fifth in the district
meet. I don’t know how it happened, but I won State. It was incredible.”
Now, as a senior on the University of Washington’s cross-country team,
the unexpected has one more chance to happen again.
Born in Los Angeles, Calif., Park and his parents, Tom and Edith,
moved to Klamath Falls when he was five. Park participated in soccer, basketball and football. He did not become interested in running until his
eighth grade P.E. class at Ponderosa Middle School.
“I really enjoyed the cross-country section,” he says. “My teacher,
Coach Delaney, made me go out for wrestling and track that year. That was
the only year I did wrestling, but I have been running ever since.”
Park had a stellar cross-country career in high school, running with
the varsity all four years. Besides being the individual state champion in
1997, he also captained his the cross-country squad to the state and district championships, and placed third at the state track championships in
the 1,500-meter run during his senior year.
“The best thing about cross-country is competing against other people,” says Park. “When I am running, I try not to think about running. I
really don’t think about anything.”
After enrolling at Portland State in 1997, Park was forced to think
when the Vikings’ coaching staff was let go following his sophomore season.
“I liked our current coach and would rather be able to choose my
coach,” Park says. “I talked to Greg Metcalf at Washington. I had talked to
him in past years and really liked him, so I transferred to Washington.”
During the 2001 season, Park ran in Washington’s top-four at every
meet. He ran second on the squad, 42nd overall, at the Pre-National meet
in Greenville, S.C., helping the Huskies to an eighth-place finish. It is the
life of a cross-country runner, though, that much of what you do occurs
outside the collegiate sports spotlight.
“I do wish that cross-country overall received more support,” says
Park, “but at Washington, the cross-country team receives more support
than at most schools. That is another reason I decided to transfer here.”
Park ran third on the team at both the 2001 Pac-10 Championships
and the 2001 NCAA West Regional meet, with respective finishes of 24th
and 30th overall.
“I haven’t really set any personal goals for the current cross-country
season,” he says. “I really just want to help the team go to nationals. We
have been on the bubble for a long time. It would be nice if we could just
finally go to nationals as a team.”

In addition
to his crosscountry success,
Park was the
eighth-best
finisher in the
1,500 meters
at the 2002
Pac-10 Track
Championships.
Park is majoring in electrical engineering while at Washington, and
plans to continue running after graduation to train for the 2004 Olympic
trials.
“It is important to always run for yourself first, and not worry with
what other people want you to accomplish,” he says. “If you can figure
that out, then you can do anything.”
Park has one fan who doesn’t worry about his accomplishments. This
fan just likes to watch her older brother run.
“My younger sister Christina likes to watch me run, but doesn’t like to
run herself,” Park says.
Christina is nine years old, too young to remember her older brother
running with their dog, Biff, in the hills and trails behind their house. Rain
or shine, Park would run, thinking of things he wanted to accomplish, just
not sure if what he wanted would happen.

HUSKY ATHLETICS
A Tradition of Success on the Field and in the Classroom
H
usky Athletics is about young men and women competing on a national level athletically while succeeding academically at the
University of Washington. This fall, 650 student athletes will don the purple and gold and compete for the Huskies on 21
teams. The cost to recruit and retain world class student-athletes is high. In 2001-2002, Husky supporters invested $5 million
in student-athlete scholarships. With the recent 16 percent increase in tuition, that figure will increase by $400,000 this year.

“Being at Washington has been a life-changing experience for me.
My athletic scholarship has provided me the opportunity to explore
