Malone University will go to NCAA Division 2

Malone University Receives Official Approval For NCAA Div. II Membership

Release Date: July 12, 2010

Malone University athletics has officially been granted approval for membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Div. II, the University’s athletic director Charlie Grimes announced today.

A current and long-time member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), Malone will still hold NAIA membership for the next two years (2010-11 and 2011-12) and will also be in its first two (of three) years of exploratory membership with NCAA Div. II. Malone will be eligible for NAIA postseason competition for the 2010-11 season. After 2010-11 and 2011-12, Malone will hold its third and final year of NCAA Div. II exploratory membership in the 2012-13 year. In that year, Malone will no longer be a member of the NAIA and will also not yet be eligible for NCAA Div. II postseason competition. Malone will be a full member of NCAA Div. II beginning in the fourth year (2013-14).

Malone currently offers 20 intercollegiate sports, the most of any AMC institution. These include football, volleyball, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s swimming & diving, men’s and women’s indoor track & field, men’s and women’s outdoor track & field, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s golf and men’s and women’s tennis.

Grimes is pleased that the NCAA has deemed Malone a worthy candidate for membership. “Malone is deeply committed to providing student-athletes with the highest level of competition and support to enhance their educational experience,” said Grimes. “We are very excited to take our “Christ’s Kingdom First” mission and place it on the NCAA stage. This three-year transition will be challenging, but our athletic department is energized by the process, and our fine student-athletes are well worth the effort.”

For further information, please contact the Malone Sports Information Office at 330-471-8293.

Regional and State Seeding -How is it done?

Each year I am approached by someone and the questions is this; why is my athlete in lane 8 or 1 when he or she has a faster time than the athlete in lane 2 or 7?? Well, you have to remember that the OHSAA has its own seeding formula. The two heats of 8 are seeded by district place and time. How does it work? First of all, preferred lanes in Ohio are 4-5-6-3-2-7-8-1. The fastest runner get lane 1, the slowest lane 8. Now, since there are 4 district coming to the regional meet and 4 regions going to the State Meet, seeding is accomplished as follows: we look at the fastest 1st place times from each district or regional. The fasted 1st place gets heat 1, lane 4, the 2nd fastest 1st place time gets heat 2, lane 4, the 3rd fastest 1st place time gets heat 2, lane 5 and the 4th fastest 1st place time gets heat 1, lane 5. Now start in heat 2 and seed the 4 2nd place athletes in lanes 6 and 3. Now go back to heat one and start seeding the 3rd place athletes in lanes 2 and 7, and back to heat 2 and seed the 4th place athletes in lanes 8 and 1.

So as you can see a 2nd place athlete in a district or region can have a faster time than a 1st place athlete in another district or region and get a less preferred lane.
