Show ,, C. II?K'fi'fII McQuivey to retire effective June 30 THE THUNDERBIRD· SOUTHERN UTAH UNIVERSITI • MONDAY, MARCH 8, 1993 • PAGE l l ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wayne McQuivey, offensive coordinator for the SUU football team for the past three y ars, announced last week that he will be stepping down from his position, effective June 30. McQuivey said it was a hard decision to retire, but that he has decided to step down at this point for personal reasons, citing a desire to spend more time with his family as d1e major influence on his decision. "When I came Ito SUUJ Lthought l would be able to keep football in perspective," he said. "l thought I would be able to spend less time on d1e football [than in previous situations] and more time with my family, but I just haven't been able to do that. I'm not the type of person to do things half.way, and to be a successful college football coach you need to devote rremendous amounts of time. "I want to make it clear that I have had a great experience [at SUUI." he added, saying he and his family have enjoyed their time in southern Utah and would like to remain in Cedar City if possible. 'The people here, [SUU head football coach! Jack IBishopJ, the president [Gerald R. Sherratt), the coaching staff and the community have aH been very good to us ... and maybe somewhere down the line I might like~ come back and coach here again. "Bur right now, I feel I owe my family more of my time. I need to get out of college coaching for a while." Bishop said he is disappointed that McQuivey is leaving, bur wished him well. "Wayne is a good man, a good friend, and a good coach," said Bishop. "He's been extremely important to our team, as a recruiter, in player personnel and as offensive coordinator. In a iruation like ours, losing Wayne will be like losing three or four coaches, n t just one. "I wish he well though and respect his wi hes," said Bishop. "To tell you the trum, I'll miss him more as a friend man as a coach, and we're really going to miss him as a coach." McQuivey's offensive units have been very successful at Southern Utah. The Thunderbirds led the Western Football Conference in rushing ea h of McQuivey's years, finished second in total offense twice, second in scoring offense once. In L191, the 'Birds finished the season ranked ninth in torn! offense nationally, 12th in rushing, 15m in scoring offense, and 19th in passing efficiency. McQuivey said he will probably move into a position in private enterprise, but may consider coaching at the high school level.

Tracksters set numerous indoor marks Looking at the "the numbers," SUU Track and Field Coach Eric Houle has concluded that the just completed indoor track season was highly successful for the Thunderbirds. "The numbersn include 75 personal bests, 12 times that SUU indoor records were exceeded, and nine new school records on the books. In some events, records were set then reset later in the season. "The program is moving,• said Houle.

New women's records were set in five events: Debbie Child in me 55 merer hurdles, Anna Pett in the 5,000 meters, Wendy Heaton in me high jump, Brenda Foy in me long jump, and the 4 X 400 meter relay team of Child, Foy, Denise Boyer and Lalena Page also set a record. "We feel very good about our preparation for the upcoming outdoor season," said Houle. "School records will be harder to get because the outdoor program is much older and more established. New records, however are not out of reach, and our individual progress should continue to improve.• SUU's outdoor track season begins Mar. 20 in Santa Barbara, CA., at the Easter relays. The men's and women's team will each participate in meets at Logan, Provo, Pocatello, San Diego, and Flagstaff.
