Kansas Wesleyan University Athletics will induct five individuals and two championship teams into the Jerry Jones Kansas Wesleyan Coyote Athletic Hall of Fame this fall during Homecoming Weekend on campus.

The Hall of Fame breakfast and induction ceremony will be held on Saturday morning, October 25, starting at 8 a.m. inside Muir Gymnasium on the KWU campus. It will be held in conjunction with the university's alumni awards ceremony. Tickets are available for the 2025 Hall of Fame and Alumni Awards at <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/bb7027ef-0a2e-4b4f-8093-80d3f28102e4?elinkdata=26955">www.kwu.edu/homecoming2025</a>.

The 2025 inductees include women's volleyball star Melissa (Blair) Schwieger, cross country and track and field standouts Jolene Mick and Paul Buhl, football coach Dave Dallas, and Drew Dallas, coach of the NJCAA National Champion Hutchinson Blue Dragons, who will be inducted for post-graduate accomplishments.

The 1999 men's soccer team and the 2011 women's volleyball team will also be inducted.

Selections for induction to the Hall of Fame were conducted by a vote of the Hall of Fame Committee members.

Schweiger had an outstanding career for the Coyotes on the volleyball court. She still ranks among the Top 5 in KWU history in career kills, attack percentage, total blocks, assisted blocks and blocks per set. She was a four-time All-KCAC pick and was named the 2014 KCAC Player of the Year and NAIA Honorable Mention All-American.

Mick was an outstanding runner for the KWU Cross Country and Track programs. She was a 2-time KCAC Champion in cross country in 2006 and 2007 and finished 22nd in the 2006 NAIA National Championships, earning All-America honors.

Buhl was a four-time Top 5 finisher in the KCAC Cross Country Championships and was the KCAC Champion in 1979. He helped the 1977 and 1978 teams win the KCAC Cross Country Championship. He was a long-time record holder for the Coyotes in the 8000m cross country race.

Dave Dallas ranks second in all-time wins in Kansas Wesleyan Football history with 94. He spent 17 seasons with the Coyotes, leading KWU from a 4-26 combined record in the three seasons before his arrival, to KCAC Champions in just five seasons. He was instrumental in building enrollment at KWU by growing the football squad size from 55 to nearly 100 upon his arrival.

After a solid career playing football at Kansas Wesleyan, Drew Dallas moved into the coaching ranks and has built one of the best programs in the country at Hutchinson Community College. In five seasons as head coach of the Blue Dragons, Dallas has posted a 49-5 record, winning the Jayhawk Conference four times, making three appearances in the NJCAA Championship Game, winning the NJCAA National Championship twice including this past season.

The 1999 men's soccer team was the first to win the KCAC postseason tournament in just the fourth year of the program's existence. The Coyotes also were KCAC Regular Season Champions that season and continued on to win the National Small College Athletic Association National Championship for a third straight season.

The 2011 women's volleyball team was KCAC Regular Season and Tournament champions, marking the first time in school history the program won both titles in the same year, the feat coming just two years after coach Fred Aubuchon inherited a program with just one win. After winning the KCAC tournament, the Coyotes hosted an NAIA Opening Round match against Oklahoma Baptist and beat the Bison in four sets to advance the National Championship final site in Sioux City, Iowa, a first-ever program feat.

The Kansas Wesleyan Coyote Athletic Hall of Fame was started by former coach and Athletics Director Jerry Jones in 1986 as part of the university's centennial celebration. In 2022, Kansas Wesleyan renamed it the Jerry Jones Kansas Wesleyan University Coyote Athletic Hall of Fame in Jones' honor.

Melissa (Blair) Schweiger - Women's Volleyball

Melissa (Blair) Schweiger had a phenomenal career for the Coyotes from 2011 to 2014. She ranks fourth in KWU career history with 1016 kills, one of only five players all-time with 1000 or more career kills. Her career attack percentage of .291 ranks third best all-time. Blair is also the career leader in blocks for the Coyotes with 531, which includes a school record 467 assisted blocks, and 64 solo blocks which ranks ninth best all-time. Her 1.01 blocks per set average ranks fifth-best all-time.

She was a two-time Honorable Mention All-KCAC pick in 2011 and 2012, second-team All-KCAC in 2013, and was the 2014 KCAC Player of the Year, a first-team selection, AVCA All-Region and Honorable Mention All-America.

She was a key role player on the 2011 KCAC Championship team that won the KCAC tournament, and the NAIA Opening Round to become KWU's first-ever team to reach the final site. She also was a key player on the 2014 KCAC Championship team.

Jolene Mick - Women's Cross Country and Track and Field

Jolene Mick was an outstanding runner for the Kansas Wesleyan Cross Country and track programs. She was a 2-time KCAC Champion, winning the 2006 and 2007 KCAC Championships. In 2006, Mick finished 22nd, earning NAIA All-America honors at the NAIA National Championships.

She was also awarded the Most Valuable Athlete Award at the 2004 NJCAA Indoor National Track and Field Meet in which she won the 3,000 and 5,000-meter races. Mick currently holds six individual Cloud County school records in distance events.

Paul Buhl - Cross Country and Track and Field

Paul Buhl was excellent for the Coyotes in cross country. He was part of the 1977 and 78 KCAC Cross Country Championship teams. He was a 3-time qualifier for the NAIA National Championships. He finished in the top 5 of the KCAC Championships all four years winning the KCAC Championship meet in 1979. He once held the fastest 8000m race time in school history at 25:32.

In 1997, Dallas took over a struggling Kansas Wesleyan program that had gone 4-26 the previous three years before his arrival. In just five years, in 2001, Wesleyan captured its first KCAC title since 1982, and made the school's first ever NAIA Football Championship Series appearance.

He posted a 94-79 record with the Coyotes, good enough for second all-time in total coaching wins at KWU. His .543 winning percentage at KWU is third-best all time among coaches who coached at least five seasons at KWU.

While at KWU, Dallas captured two KCAC Championships in 2001 and 2002, and guided the Coyotes to their only two NAIA Post Season Championship berths in those same years at the time. Dallas was named the 2001 KCAC Coach of the Year.

During his tenure at Wesleyan, Dallas coached six NAIA All-Americans, and over 300 All-KCAC players, including eight KCAC Players of the Year. One of Dallas' team goals was for the players to complete their degrees, and Dallas coached over 50 NAIA Scholar-Athletes.

Dallas played collegiately at Missouri Western, and began his coaching career there as a graduate assistant for two seasons in 1983 and 1984. After finishing his degree at MWSU in 1984, Dallas spent one season at Truman State University (then Northeast Missouri State) in 1985, as the Bulldogs captured the MIAA title that season with an 8-3 overall record, and 5-0 in the MIAA.

After taking a year off from the college ranks to coach at Rolla High School in Rolla, Mo., Dallas became defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator at Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa, for two seasons, before taking the head coaching job at Ottawa in 1989 where the team went 38-39-1 during his tenure.

Drew Dallas - Post-Graduate Accomplishments

In just five seasons into his tenure at Hutchinson Community College, Dallas has amassed a record of 49-5 with four Jayhawk Conference championships, a KJCCC Playoff championship, three appearances in the NJCAA national playoffs, three appearances in the NJCAA Championship Game and two national championships.

The 49 wins are the most by a Blue Dragon coach in his first five seasons. Dallas' four-year total also includes 33 NJCAA All-Americans and 11 all-Jayhawk Conference selections with five KJCCC Players of the Year and two NJCAA National Players of the Year.

Dallas also had coaching stops at Angelo State from 2011 to 2018 and at Kansas Wesleyan from 2009 to 2010.

KWU Announces 2025 Jerry Jones Kansas Wesleyan Coyote Athletic Hall of Fame Inductees

By TYLER HENRY Lead Sportswriter - Salina Post

Southeast of Saline’s Lady Trojans battled to the very end of a low-scoring pitchers’ duel on Thursday, but came up a run shy of Silver Lake, falling in the regional final 4-3.

Karlee Zurfluh and Kendra Cook were both masterful in the circle, allowing just seven runs on eleven hits in a game that came down to a thrilling seventh inning.

Silver Lake wasted no time opening the scoring, as Kailyn Hanni led the game off with a walk, stole second, and came in to score on an RBI knock from Taylor Zordell.

SES quickly responded with a Kyiah Samuelson RBI single and a Kimber Ogorzolka solo shot to take a 2-1 lead in the second.

The Lady Eagles would flip that script two innings later when Kira Lowry drove a ball into the gap, plating two more runs to flip a one-run deficit to a one-run lead.

After surrendering those runs in the bottom of the first, Cook tightened the screws, setting down 15 batters in a row and taking a 4-2 lead into the bottom of the seventh.

Southeast did manage to get the bats going in the final frame, scoring a run on three singles, but the Lady Trojans left the tying run on second as the curtain fell on their season.

Silver Lake improves to 23-6, the defending state runners-up will have an opportunity to finish the job in Topeka next week.

For SES, another fantastic campaign comes to a close at 22-5.

MANHATTAN, Kan. –&nbsp;With the landscape of college athletics changing at a rapid pace, which includes evolving calendar and recruiting demands for both coaches and student-athletes, K-State Athletics and the K-State Alumni Association have adjusted the long-time Catbacker Club program following discussions with club leadership.

While there will no longer be a formal two-week tour, the clubs across the state and region will continue to provide support and outreach for the University. The department will work closely with each club moving forward to facilitate the financial support to the Ahearn Fund as well as the K-State Alumni Association’s funding and awarding of local scholarships.&nbsp;

“The history of our Catbacker Clubs and the support they provide is very unique to college athletics and a benefit that we do not take for granted,” Athletics Director Gene Taylor said. “Talking internally and with our Catbacker Club leaders, we looked at factors such as the recruiting calendars, transfer portal dates, finals calendar for our student-athletes, and the recent overall attendance trends at some of our summer stops, and determined that adjustments are best as we move forward. But, I do want to be clear that the Catbacker Clubs are not going away, and their support and interaction with our coaches and student-athletes will remain. It will just be done more on a case-by-case basis with each club.”

The annual tour has been unlike any other across the country for decades as golf tournaments, social gatherings, dinner, live auctions and a program that features Wildcat coaches and athletics staff highlighted each stop. Following the Covid-19 pandemic, the department announced some adjustments that included a shorter summer schedule for the events throughout the state.

High School Sports LIVE STREAMS

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — North Florida coach Matthew Driscoll resigned after 16 years with the Ospreys on Thursday and accepted a job as the associate head coach on Jerome Tang's staff at Kansas State.

The 60-year-old Driscoll and Tang have known each other for more than two decades, spending six seasons together on Scott Drew's staff at Baylor. Driscoll left to become head coach at North Florida in 2009, and led the Ospreys to three Atlantic Sun regular-season titles, the NCAA Tournament in 2015 and the NIT the following year.

North Florida finished 15-17 last season.

“Coach Driscoll is a proven program builder and an exceptional teacher of the game,” Tang said in a statement released by Kansas State. “His ability to develop players and implement high-level offensive systems is second to none.”

Driscoll also has been the head coach at the high school level and at La Roche, a Division III school in Pennsylvania, along with an assistant at Slippery Rock, Wyoming, Clemson and Valparaiso.

“I know some will wonder why I would leave being a head coach to become an assistant coach, but this was a no-brainer in every aspect for us,” Driscoll said. “We all know that work brings profit and if you have studied Coach Tang and his program, that’s what they do. My responsibility will be to continue to nurture, encourage and expound upon this foundation.”

The Sacred Heart baseball season met an unfortunate end in Wednesday’s regional semifinals as the bats went cold and the Knights fell to Ellis 4-3.

It was an incredibly quick, 90-minute affair that saw just seven runs and eight hits throughout the seven-inning runtime.

Ellis did all of their damage in the bottom of the second, where a walk and four hits brought in four Railer runs.

Sacred Heart responded with a 2-RBI single of their own by Leo Ngiraindong in the fourth inning, but from there, both pitchers buckled down, and there would be no more hits for the rest of the game.

The Knights did capitalize on a walk in the bottom of the seventh, cutting the lead to one on a sacrifice fly, but that was as close as Sacred Heart got, dropping the semifinal 4-3.

Cayson Ivey and Brady Wells both pitched well on the hill, their effort matched by Ben Byers, who allowed just three runs on four hits, walking three and striking out two in a complete game win.

Sacred Heart’s season drew to a close at 18-8 while Ellis advanced to play TMP in the regional final, a game the Monarchs would dominate, winning 15-0 to punch their ticket to state.

MARION, Ind. - <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/5bea085a-1216-4d46-b4ac-a598564acfc0?elinkdata=26924">Madelyn Wolf</a> simply wanted to qualify for the NAIA Women's National Track and Field Championships in her first season at Kansas Wesleyan.

She never imagined she would head home as the javelin national champion - the first in any sport in KWU history.

"It's just crazy, I can't believe it. I feel so blessed," Wolf said Wednesday night after her throw of 44.65 meters (146 feet, 6 inches) propelled her to the title.

Wolf's All-American and championship effort came on her first throw of the evening.

"She got up on that runway and just let it rip from the get-go," coach <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/1334d42b-2a23-4e7f-a6bf-b4f9e42409de?elinkdata=26924">Kyle Hiser</a> said. "Some freshmen might be a little intimidated at that stage but that's not Maddy Wolf. She just gets out there and just goes."

"I was like 'I just need to not foul it, I just need to get a mark and if it's a big mark we can keep going,'" Wolf said. "I needed something and to have it be a PR (personal record) was really amazing. It was surreal."

Her distance was 10 centimeters (four inches) better than runner-up Kendra Odegard of Valley City State at 44.55m (146-2). Mary Lorang of Benedictine placed third with a mark of 44.07m (144-7).

Wolf's historic feat came in less-than-ideal weather conditions.

"My main thought was stay warm; I was like 'I can't feel my fingers,'" she said. "I was really nervous with the rain coming down and it was really windy. I said a quick prayer and was like 'whatever happens, it's in God's hands' and I let her rip."

"It was probably like 45 degrees, so it was a perfect Kansas day," Hiser said.

Wolf, who hails from Olathe, said the adverse conditions were not unfamiliar.

"I was thinking we practice in this all the time in Kansas, so it was nice to know that we kind of had an upper hand being in this more often," she said.

Wolf's initial toss put her atop the leaderboard but there were five more throws to go making for a long and agonizing wait.

"My coaches could probably tell you I was a nervous wreck," she said. "I was pacing everywhere trying to stay warm but I knew it was in God's hands, so I was at peace with that."

Being the first Coyote to win a national championship was starting to sink in later Wednesday night.

"My goal for the season was literally to get here and then once (classmate) Mayce (Russell) and I hit that (qualifying) mark I was like 'let's just get All-American,'" she said. "When I saw that first throw put me in first I was like 'maybe this could be a reality.'"

Russell placed 17th in the competition with a throw of 37.89m (124-4).

KWU's other national qualifiers did not reach the finals in their events on Wednesday.

Wolf wins NAIA Women's Javelin title, becomes KWU's first-ever National Champion

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (May 21, 2025)—Andrew Cossetti drove in a pair of runs in a 6-4 win for the Wichita Wind Surge, who never trailed the San Antonio Missions at Nelson W. Wolff Municipal Stadium. The series is now tied up at a game apiece in the Texas League interdivisional matchup between the Wind Surge and Missions.

Aaron Sabato cracked a single to center in the top of the first for the game’s first run. Andrew Cossetti doubled toward the left field corner in the next at-bat for another RBI knock and a 2-0 Wichita lead after a pair of two-out run-scoring hits.&nbsp;

After Rosario stole home on a rundown, Cossetti singled in his second RBI in the top of the third to double the Wind Surge lead.&nbsp;

Brandon Valenzuela got the Missions on the board with an infield single in the bottom of the fifth to make it a three-run game. It marked the first half inning of three where a run came across, and the scoreboard read 5-2 Wichita after six.&nbsp;

Three different Wichita hitters gather multiple hits in the win

BY DEVIN HANNEY Sports Director

On Wednesday, the Lady Lions of Minneapolis had a chance to do something only one other team in school history has done: win a Regional softball championship.

Minneapolis (20-4) would host a familiar opponent and NCAA League foe, the Beloit Trojans (19-8).&nbsp;

Beloit scored one run in the top of the first inning but relinquished that lead to Minneapolis in the bottom of the 2nd as Minneapolis scored two runs. 

Sierra Cossart led off the inning with a double to center field, then scored as Miley McClure hit her home run to tie the game. McClure then scored on a slow roller hit by Ashlyn Roth.&nbsp;

Beloit got one more run in the top of the third inning to tie the game at two, but in the bottom of the inning, Minneapolis displayed their version of "small ball". The Lions would score four runs as they batted through the lineup, but ultimately left the bases loaded to end the inning.&nbsp;

To start the fourth inning trailing 2-6, Beloit was unable to score. Then, in the bottom of the fourth, Miley McClure would strike again. With the bases full of Lions and one out, McClure would take a 1-1 pitch out of the park to dead center field for a grand slam. 

That home run would give the Lions a 10-2 lead.&nbsp;

Beloit showed signs of a rally in the top of the fifth, scoring two runs but stranding two more as light rain set in. 

That rain set the tone for the rest of the game as it would be a defensive battle to the finish, and Minneapolis hit the finish line with a 10-4 lead.&nbsp;

Braedee Weatherman got the win pitching for Minneapolis as they extended their record to 21-4 and ride a seven game winning streak into the 3A State Tournament. It is the first trip back to the State Tourney for Minneapolis since 2014 and just the second trip in school history.

Harper Taylor is the new women's basketball coach at Kansas Wesleyan, but she is not new to the university.

Taylor was an assistant under former Coyote coach <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/fcab9c98-bc21-45b0-91bd-6f45e82268b8?elinkdata=26893">Ryan Showman</a> for two seasons before moving on as an assistant at Division II Metro State Denver the last two years.

"I get to go back and continue to build better relationships as a head coach versus an assistant and I'm just really excited to do that," Taylor said. "It's a great university that I get to be a part of, and I just can't wait to build on that."

Taylor helped KWU win 41 games (32 in the Kansas Conference) during the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons. She was also a graduate assistant at Division I Texas El Paso during the 2019-20 season.

"First and foremost, her energy," KWU Athletic Director <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/39c16c6d-87b4-41d8-b7d5-0304135078c1?elinkdata=26893">Miguel Paredes</a> said. "Her familiarity with Kansas Wesleyan and Salina, and she's a proven leader. Her mission and values align with what we're doing here, her clear vision of building a culture of excellence and how we can continue the success. We're not stopping and trying to rebuild but are reloading. Her student-athlete development academically, socially, spiritually was a big plus for me as well. She demonstrated what a confident leader should be - she reminds me of (former Tennessee coach) Pat Summitt in a way."

"Coach Taylor is a great choice for our new women's basketball leader," said Ken Oliver, executive vice president of advancement and university operations. "Her familiarity with our area, our campus and the schools in our region will prove invaluable in continuing our winning tradition. We look forward to seeing her accomplishments."

Taylor credits Showman for convincing her to stay the course with her career.

"With the Covid pandemic I was kind of in a place where I was really questioning if I should continue being in this profession," she said. "He showed me the ropes and gave me a lot of grace and showed me how to do things successfully and how to do things with integrity. I would not be where I'm at in my coaching journey if it weren't for Showman. I feel like everything that I learned from not only him but also Tanya Haave (Metro State coach) at the Division II level has put me in the most successful position to be a head coach."

Paredes said that became apparent during the search.

"The fact that she's been at all levels and her experience is what helped set her apart from the other candidates," he said. "We wanted a person who can see what it takes to have those types of athletes and knows what to look for in the recruiting aspect. Everybody thinks they're a Division I athlete, if not then at least Division II, and I think Harper has a keen eye. I asked her, 'what do you think we need to do have a great year?' She said, 'we need speed, we need size,' and she's right on point."

Taylor said energy and defense will be hallmarks of her teams.

"Everyone can expect a team that's going to be really loud because I'm a very communicative person," she said. "I'm very vocal about what I want and how I want things done. Coyote fans are going to see we have a really loud bench and we're going to be super loud on the court. And we're going to get it done on the defensive end. I think I can work with our offense and bring in some recruiting pieces, but our philosophy is going to be built on the defensive end."

Taylor was a standout athlete at Greeley West High School in Greeley, Colo., averaging 16.8 points and 6.2 rebounds in her senior year. She began her college career at Nebraska-Kearney then transferred to Hastings (Neb.) for her final three seasons. She helped the Broncos advance to the semifinals of the NAIA National Championship twice and the quarterfinals once.

"She brings the excitement, she brings the discipline, and she brings the drive and the hunger to be successful," Paredes said.
