DAVID L. CHICOINE, Ph.D., has served as the 19th president of South Dakota State University since Jan. 1, 2007, when he became the third alumnus to lead the state’s largest institution of higher education. President Chicoine, who graduated in 1969 with a bachelor of science degree in agribusiness, also holds an appointment as professor in the Department of Economics.

President Chicoine has a long association with intercollegiate athletics, and is currently serving a four-year term on the NCAA Presidential Advisory Group. Chicoine also chaired the President’s Council for The Summit League — SDSU’s conference home for 18 of its 21 varsity sports — during the 2011-12 academic year. Previously, he served as the faculty representative to the Big Ten Conference and the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He served as chair of the Budget

and Finance Committee for the Big Ten Conference for nine years of his 11-year term.

In the spring of 2013, Chicoine and his executive team rolled out IMPACT 2018: A Strategic Vision for South Dakota State University. The five-year plan features four main goals: academic excellence, research and innovation, outreach and becoming a high-performing University.

During his tenure, enrollment has reached record levels of undergraduate students and Ph.D. candidates. Correspondingly, the amount of research grants and contract awards has jumped nearly 90 percent during that time.

To support the strategic plan, the SDSU Foundation in 2008 launched an aggressive comprehensive fund-raising effort — “It Starts with State: A Campaign for South Dakota State University.” The capital campaign began with a goal of $200 million, but far exceeded that to a total of more than $255 million with contributions from more than 23,000 donors.

The most visible support for the campaign can be seen in several construction and renovation projects funded primarily by generous donors, all part of the largest campus building boom since the 1960s. The majority of the facilities enhance the university’s research capabilities and allow for new discoveries that drive technology-based economic development in South Dakota.

In January 2014, Chicoine was presented with the 2013-14 Chief Executive Leadership Award by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) District VI. The award recognizes the leadership of a higher education chief executive officer who demonstrates the ability to create a vision and inspire others.

Building a better academic model has also been part of President Chicoine’s agenda. In the fall of 2010, SDSU launched the state’s first architecture program through its College of Arts and Sciences.

The Chicoine administration also developed the new College of Education and Human Sciences in 2009, a merger of the former College of Education and Counseling, College of Family and Consumer Sciences and the Department of Health and Physical Education. It represented the first significant academic restructuring in more than 40 years.

Dr. Chicoine brought more than 30 years of experience in higher education with the University of Illinois to his role as president of SDSU. A nationally recognized economist, specializing in public finance, taxation, and rural economics, Chicoine served as an advisor to the Illinois General Assembly. His higher education administrative experience includes service as Head of the Department of Agricultural Economics and Dean of the College of Agriculture, Consumer and Environmental Sciences, at the University of Illinois.

The co-author of four books and author of more than 100 invited and/or peer reviewed academic journal articles, Chicoine also served as a member of the Illinois Governor’s Council of Economic Advisors, and was a member of the board of the Illinois State Treasurer’s Technology Development Fund.

Chicoine received an M.S. in agricultural econcomics from the University of Delaware in 1971, and completed an M.A. in economics at Western Illinois University. In 1979, he completed his Ph.D. in agricultural economics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

The president and his wife, Marcia, live in Woodbine Cottage on the SDSU campus. Their family includes son, Joshua, a Chicago-based musician; daughter-in-law Laura Ellsworth; granddaughter Sylvie; grandson Watson, and their late son, Jason.

JUSTIN SELL has moved Jackrabbit Athletics forward in a number of areas of its Division I pursuits since being introduced as the 12th director of athletics at South Dakota State University on May 7, 2009.

At South Dakota State, Sell oversees the Jackrabbits’ 21-sport Division I varsity athletics program. Under his leadership, Jackrabbit Athletics has continually made strides in athletic competition, in the classroom, in fundraising and in reconnecting with alumni.

Athletically, the Jackrabbits have claimed 18 regular and postseason league championships in six different sports since 2009-10. That broad-based success has led SDSU to claim The Summit League Commissioner’s Cup all-sports trophy three times (2010-11, 2012-13, 2013-14), along with winning both the Summit League’s Dr. William Steinbrecher Men’s All-Sports Award and Dr. Helen Smiley

Women’s All-Sports Award during the 2013-14 season. SDSU also claimed the Steinbrecher award during the 2012-13 season and was the recipient of the leagu’s Sportsmanship Award, an award voted upon by its peers, during the 2010-11 campaign.

In the classroom, Jackrabbit student-athletes continually post a grade-point average of 3.2 or higher in more than 70 different majors, which led SDSU to winning The Summit League’s Institutional Academic Achievement Award for the 2009-10 and 2012-13 academic years, and the Missouri Valley Football Conference Academic Award in all five years in the league (2008-12).

In January of 2011, Sell announced a partnership with Learfield Sports, signing a 10-year deal worth $13 million for SDSU athletics. Learfield Sports quickly established a Brookings-based entity known as “Jackrabbit Sports Properties” that directs all aspects of the partnership, including managing and selling multimedia and sponsorship rights for South Dakota State Athletics.

In addition to the deal with Learfield Sports, Sell directed the implementation of the Letterwinners Club, which provides opportunities for Jackrabbit Athletics to reconnect and stay connected with former student-athletes, while supporting current student-athletes at South Dakota State.

Sell also has implemented other aggressive marketing and fundraising initiatives which have resulted in record average attendance for football during the 2009 season, as well as the highest number of donors and dollars donated to the Jackrabbit Club. Ticket sales totaled more than $1 million for the first time during the 2011-12 academic year, and was surpassed again during the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons. In addition, the Jackrabbit Athletic Scholarship Auction raised a record $510,000 in April 2014.

On the facilities front, Sell oversaw the completion of the Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center in 2010, and developed the 2025 SDSU Athletic Facilities Master Plan. Additionally, Sell spearheaded efforts to add permanent seating and a press box at Erv Huether Field, chairback seating in both Frost Arena and Coughlin-Alumni Stadium, and continues working towards the building of an indoor practice and competition facility, as well as a new football stadium. Construction of the indoor facility — the Sanford-Jackrabbit Athletic Complex — began in August 2013, with completion slated for this fall. Lead gifts totaling $12.5 million toward the construction of a new football stadium with seating up to 20,000 were received in October 2013. The project will begin this fall, with completion set for summer of 2016.

Born in Salem, Ore., and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Sell came to South Dakota State from the University of Northern Iowa, where he worked in various roles, both at the university and in the community for 10 years. He also worked at Villanova University, Syracuse University, Ohio State University and Bowling Green State University. Sell gained further experience working in the private sector for various sports teams and events.

In the Brookings community, where Sell lives with his wife, Jennie, and their four children: Abbie, Zach, Josh and Eric, he serves as vice president of the Brookings Chamber of Commerce, vice president for the Brookings Friends of Baseball and is a member of the Brookings Health System Board of Trustees.

Sell earned his bachelor’s degree in sport management from Bowling Green State University (Ohio) in 1991 and completed a master’s degree in physical education/sport administration at The Ohio State University in 1992.

LEON COSTELLO brought his comprehensive background in athletic marketing and administration from the University of Northern Iowa to the South Dakota State athletic staff in March 2010 as the senior associate athletic director for external affairs.

In his role as a deputy AD, Costello manages the external operations of the SDSU Athletic Department, which includes athletic marketing, broadcast services, development, sports information and ticket operations. He also serves as the department liaison for Jackrabbit Sports Properties and works as the sport supervisor for the Jackrabbit women’s soccer, volleyball, men’s basketball, wrestling and golf teams.

Before joining the Jackrabbits, Costello worked in a variety of roles for the Northern Iowa Athletic Department in his eight years on staff. From July 2008 until the end of his tenure at UNI, he served

as the associate athletic director for external relations. In that position, he oversaw the marketing efforts for the Panther athletic program, directed the Panther Scholarship Club and supervised the men’s and women’s golf programs.

From 2005-08 Costello served as the assistant athletic director for marketing and promotions, where he assisted with the fundraising efforts of the McLeod Center capital project and coordinated all aspects for the athletic sales and marketing plan, including managing the Northern Iowa Sports Radio Network.

Under his direction, sponsorship revenue increased by more than 200 percent and ticket revenue increased by more than 150 percent. In addition to increasing external exposure by securing two separate cable television agreements and adding radio affiliates, Costello also assisted in negotiating a 10-year agreement with Learfield Sports to provide additional marketing resources, and he developed programs like the Varsity Club, to re-engage former Panther student-athletes.

A native of Fairbank, Iowa, Costello graduated from Loras College with a bachelor’s degree in physical education and sport science in 1998. While at Loras, he also played for the Duhawk men’s basketball team.

Costello completed his master’s degree from Western Illinois University in sport management in 2002 and served an internship in marketing and game operations with the Boston Celtics. In the fall of 2002, Northern Iowa hired him as its athletic marketing and promotions assistant, where he worked for a year before earning a promotion to director of athletic marketing and promotions in January 2003. Leon and his wife Heather live in Brookings with their daughter, Cailin and sons Michael and Griffin.

Highlighting SDSU’s social media presence is Coach Bono’s weekly video, “Jacked Up Mondays.”

In these segments, Bono gives fans a recap of the pre-vious week’s action and previews the next seven days for the Jacks, along with giving fans behind-the-scenes footage of the team. “As a program, we are really focused on branding and getting our program in front of as many people as pos-sible,” Bono said. “It is a great opportunity for us to show people what a great thing we have going here.”

With Susan Wallrich on staff for another year as the vid-eographer, Coach Bono and staff are looking to make their social media impact even greater with the addition of a weekly podcast, hosted by Tyler Merriam.

Jacked Up Mondays Gold StandardFollowing the Best of Brand Top Newcomer in 2012-13, @GoJacksWrestle contin-ued to up its game and won the prestigious Gold Standard Award for continued efforts to promote the program through social media platforms.

“To be recognized in front of our peers for our con-tinued efforts was very rewarding,” head coach Chris Bono said of the award. “I have to thank my staff, in-cluding our videographer Susan Wallrich and our sports information department for their continued efforts to promote our #getjacked mantra.

“This is truly a team award,” Bono said. “What is most exciting is that we have even more planned and more experience on staff this season.”

@GoJacksWrestle16

Chris Bono joined South Dakota State as wrestling head coach in the spring of 2012. Bono brought knowledge, excitement and a history of success to the Jackrabbit program.

In two seasons, Bono has an 11-20 dual record, after going 6-8 in his second season, and has coached four NCAA quali-fiers. 2013-14 saw Cody Pack qualify for the second time, along with Alex Kocer and Joe Brewster making their NCAA Championship debuts.

Bono’s second year on campus saw the Jacks have unprecedented success at the Division I level. As a team, SDSU beat Wyoming for the first time in school history and wrestled for the Western Wrestling Conference dual championship in its regular-season finale at North Dakota State, but fell to the Bison.

The trio of qualifiers marked another first for the Jacks. Brewster, Kocer and Pack represented the first time that SDSU sent three qualifiers to the NCAA Wrestling Championships. As a team, the Jacks finished in fifth place with 34.5 points at the NCAA West Regional/WWC Champion-ship, with Kocer and Pack winning individual titles at 149 and 157, respectively.

In his first year as head coach at SDSU, Bono led the team to a 5-12 dual record, 1-4 Western Wrestling Conference record and fifth in the conference standings. The team qualified one wrestler for the NCAA Championships via the West Regional.

SDSU scored its most notable win and first win versus a major conference opponent since tran-sitioning to Division I in its season opener. The Jacks defeated Big Ten opponent Indiana 19-18 at the Huskie Duals in DeKalb, Ill.

Coach Bono and the SDSU coaching staff ushered in a new era in Jackrabbit wrestling with the sixth-best recruiting class in the nation (The Open Mat, Amateur Wrestling News). Eight student-athletes joined the wrestling team on signing day, including three ranked by AWN. The No. 6 ranking made it the best recruiting class for any sport in the history of Jackrabbit athletics.

Bono was the first NCAA Division I wrestling coach to participate in the Samaritan’s Feet move-ment, coaching the dual versus Simpson on Jan. 11 barefoot to raise awareness for the orga-nization.

While leading the Jackrabbits, Coach Bono was also tabbed as coach for the U.S. Men’s Free-style team at the 2013 Pan American Championships. In the world event, Coach Bono led Team USA to a 13-point victory.

At the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Bono produced three Southern Conference titles, two All-Americans, and 19 NCAA qualifiers.

During his three seasons, UTC scheduled many nationally ranked teams. Bono coached the Mocs to wins over Ohio State in 2009 and 2010; the Buckeyes were ranked No. 8 at the time of the second loss.

Bono was named head coach at UTC on July 29, 2006 and wasted little time directing the Mocs to their 22nd Southern Conference championship. He coached nine wrestlers to the 2007 NCAA Championships, a feat matched only by Minnesota.

#getjacked 17

In his first season, Bono guided the Mocs to a 16-1 dual-match record, including an 11-match win streak to start the season and a victory at No. 14 Ohio State. He received high consideration for National Coach of the Year honors from RevWrestling.com.

Bono joined the UTC staff in 2005 after serving nine years as an assistant coach at Iowa State. He was the Cyclones’ head assistant coach for five seasons. In Bono’s final year on the ISU staff, the Cyclones earned a third-place finish in the Big 12 Conference and a sixth-place showing at the NCAA Championships.

A native of Gilbert, Iowa, Bono was named the National Wrestling Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year in 2002 for his role in ISU’s success.

Bono lettered at Iowa State from 1994-97 and ranks fifth on the program’s all-time wins list with 130 victories. He won the NCAA 150-pound title as a junior.

A four-time NCAA participant, Bono placed fifth at the Nationals as a sophomore and second as a senior. As a freshman, he finished eighth at the Big Eight Conference Cham-pionships and was runner-up finish his sophomore year. Bono won the Big Eight title as a junior and was named the Most Outstanding Wrestler at the inaugural Big 12 Conference Championship in 1997. He was 115-17 his final three seasons.

Following his senior season, Bono wrestled as a freestyle competitor and defeated Doug Schwab, 5-4, to take third place at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials in Las Vegas, Nev.

In 2003, Bono won the 145.5-pound title at the U.S. Senior Freestyle National Champion-ships in Las Vegas, qualifying for the World Team Trials in Indianapolis, Ind., where he was runner-up. Bono was a U.S. World Cup team member, earning the gold medal at the 2003 World Cup Wrestling Championships in Boise, Idaho, and was a member of the national team at the 2003 Titan Games in San Jose, Calif.

Bono earned the U.S. Senior Freestyle No. 1 national ranking at 145.5 pounds and a spot on the U.S. World Team. He began the year with a first-place showing at the Dave Schultz Memorial in Colorado Springs, Colo., followed by a fourth-place finish at the Kiev Grand Prix in Kiev, Ukraine. Bono won a bronze medal at the Pan American Championships in Caracara, Venezuela, and placed third at the U.S. Freestyle National Championships in Las Vegas, earning a berth to the World Team Trials.

At the 2002 World Team Trials, Bono swept through the mini-tournament beating Reggie Wright (Gator WC) of Colorado Springs, Colo., 3-1 and Schwab (Hawkeye WC) of Iowa City, Iowa, 3-2 to advance to the finals. In the 145.5-pound championship, Bono defeated Jamill Kelly (Gator WC) of Stillwater, Okla., 3-1 and 3-0, earning his second consecutive World Team Trials title.

In a special wrestle-off for the 145.5-pound spot on the 2002 U.S. World Team, Bono defeated Bill Zadick (Hawkeye WC) of Iowa City, Iowa, two matches to one, 2-3, 3-1, 3-2 (OT), to earn his second consecutive trip to the World Championships. However, the U.S. World Team did not compete at the World Championships in Tehran, Iran.

Bono competed at the 2005 World Championships in September in Budapest, Hungary. At the 2005 World Team Trials, Bono, the No. 1 seed, captured the title at 66 kilograms by defeating Jared Lawrence two matches to none.

In May of 2006, Bono beat Japan’s Kohei Fujimoto (1-0, 2-0), Uzbekistan’s Muradollo Ablokulov (2-4, 1-0, 2-0) and Russia’s Jirair Oganesyan (1-1, 5-4) at the Independence Cup Grand Prix in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. He finished with the silver medal after losing 0-1, 2-1, 1-1 to Russia’s Andrey Sementsov on a takedown with 14 seconds left in the final period. Sementsov was the reigning Junior European champion.

Bono won the 2007 U.S. Freestyle national title in Las Vegas and received an automatic bid to the World Team Trials. Seeded fourth at 145.5 pounds at Nationals, he defeated second-seeded Lawrence for the title. At the 2007 World Team Trials, Bono finished runner-up to Schwab in the finals by a 2-1 score. He lost in the challenge finals in Las Vegas at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials.

Since taking over the program, Bono and his staff have stressed branding through various social media platforms. Under Bono’s guidance, @SDSUwrestling won the prestigious Best of Brand Gold Standard Award last season, a year after being named the Best of Brand Top Newcomer.

Bono earned his bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Sports Science from Iowa State in 1997.

133 pounds: PROJECTED STARTER - BRANCE SIMMS

According to Bono, the 133-lb slot in the lineup is wide open. Brance Simms looks to be the frontrunner. He went 15-16 last year after an injury forced the Jacks to pull Simms’ redshirt. Joining Simms in competition for the spot in the lineup is redshirt freshman Kyle White and freshmen Jaxon Fitzgerald, Isaiah Sedillos and Quinn Smith.Following back-to-back years in the lineup, junior Ben Gillette is expected to take a redshirt this season.

Laganiere compiled a 13-11 redshirt campaign, while Zilverberg went 19-13. Fellow redshirt freshman Austin Oyen and fresh-man Tyler Peiper will fill out the roster at 141.

149 pounds: PROJECTED STARTER - COLIN HOLLER

157 pounds: PROJECTED STARTER - CODY PACK

Two-time NCAA qualifier Cody Pack is looking to qualify and make some noise in his senior campaign. Pack, who went 28-8 a year ago, was the first seeded Jackrabbit at the NCAA Championships in the Division I era last season. Pack was the WWC Wrestler of the Week twice and won the WWC Championship with a 2-0 performance at the NCAA West Regional. Kyle Leet and Lo-gan Peterson will join Pack at 157 this season.

285 pounds: PROJECTED STARTER - J.J. EVERARD

197 pounds: PROJECTED STARTER - NATE ROTERT

Touted redshirt freshman Nate Rotert will step in and look to be a mainstay at 197 for the Jacks this season.

Redshirt sophomore Hunter Weddington will also wrestle at 197 this season. The Kansas native went 14-11 wrestling unattached last season.

184 pounds: PROJECTED STARTER - TREY HABLE

Albert Lea, Minn., native, Trey Hable, will drop down to 184 pounds after wrestling last season at 197. Hable and Brady Ayers will compete for the 197-lb slot in the Jackrabbit lineup. They will be joined by Shea Nolan. Freshmen Josh Casper-son and Spencer Folk will also wrestle unattached this seaon at 197. Hable, Ayers, Nolan and Schwery went 10-20, 19-15, 8-9 and 16-18, respectively a year ago.

174 pounds: PROJECTED STARTER - JOHN NETHING II

John Nething II went 21-12 as a junior and just came up short of receiving an at-large bid to the NCAA’s. The Paynesville, Minn., native pinned NCAA qualifier Tony Dallago (Illinois) at Midlands last season and was the WWC/NCAA West Region runner-up at 174. Nething will be joined by sophomore Ben Schwery redshirt freshman Jake Turk at 174 this season. Turk went 10-12 in his redshirt campaign. Freshmn David Kocer will compete unattached in his rookie campaign for the Jacks. Ko-cer, who joins his brother Alex on the team, hails from Wagner.

WWC Enters Ninth Season of Competition in 2014-15OREM, Utah -- Coming off of one of its best seasons of competition to date, the Western Wrestling Conference -- an NCAA Division I wrestling-only alliance -- will begin its ninth year of competition in 2014-15.

Current members of the Western Wrestling Conference include: the United States Air Force Academy, North Dakota State University, the University of Northern Colorado, South Dakota State University, Utah Valley University and the University of Wyoming.

The WWC had another solid year in 2013-14, with one more league wrestler earning All-America honors and North Dakota State leading the conference by placing 21st at the NCAA Championships. The league has now had 15 All-Americans in its first eight years of existence.

In 2014, North Dakota State’s Steven Monk was the lone All-American from the WWC as he placed third at 165 pounds. His third-place finish was not only NDSU’s highest-ever finish but also the WWC’s. The fourth-seeded Monk went an impressive 5-1 at the 2014 NCAA Championships with wins over No. 3 Nichlas Sulzer of Virginia, No. 11 Turtogtokh Luvsandorj of The Citadel and No. 13 Daniel Yates of Michigan. The All-America honor was Monk’s first of his stellar four-year career.

Two years ago, Trent Sprenkle became NDSU’s inaugural All-American at the Division I level, finishing fifth at 125 pounds, while Wyoming’s Alfonso Hernandez (197) and Tyler Cox (125) also earned All-America honors by placing seventh and eighth, respectively. Hernandez earned his second career All-America award (also placed sixth in 2012) while Cox and Sprenkle each recorded their first.

UW’s Joe LeBlanc became the WWC’s first four-time All-American in 2012 after the 184-pounder placed fifth in 2009, fourth in 2010, sixth in 2011 and seventh in 2012. Former WWC member Northern Iowa’s Moza Fay was a two-time placer during his tenure by finishing sixth at 165 pounds in 2009 and fifth at that same weight class in 2008. Northern Colorado’s Justin Gaethje (157) finished seventh in 2010 while UNI’s Jarion Beets (174) placed eighth that same year. In 2011, Utah Valley’s Ben Kjar became the Wolverines’ first-ever wrestling All-American by placing fourth (125) and Wyoming’s Shane Onufer finished fifth (165).

In all, 19 wrestlers from the WWC qualified for the 2014 NCAA Division I Wrestling National Championships, 15 via automatic slots and four as at-large selections. The WWC had six competitors who were seeded in the top-16 of their brackets. Two were seed at 125 pounds, as Air Force’s Josh Martinez was seeded fourth and UW’s Tyler Cox was ninth. NDSU’s Monk was tabbed fourth (165), fellow Bison Hayden Zillmer was 13th (174) and South Dakota State’s Cody Pack (157) and Utah Valley’s Adam Fager (HWT) were both seeded 15th. NDSU’s Monk and AFA’s Martinez each earned the league’s highest seed, at fourth.

The 2014 NCAA West Regional served as the conference tournament for the eighth straight season. The qualifying tournament was held at Utah Valley’s UCCU Center in Orem, Utah. In the team race, North Dakota State won its first-ever tournament title with 74 points, just eight more than the four-time defending Wyoming Cow-boys (66). Air Force (50) managed to edge out the home Wolverines (49.5) for third place by a mere half a point, while South Dakota State and Northern Colorado rounded out the field with 34.5 and 12.5 respective points.

Wyoming won its fourth WWC regular season dual title after going 4-1 in league duals last season. In years past, NDSU won the conference in 2013, UW won the regular season crown in both 2012 and 2010, as well as a share of the league title with Northern Iowa in 2009. UNI was also tops in the conference in 2011, 2008 and 2007.

North Dakota State took home two of the league’s three major postseason awards for the second straight year in 2014, as Monk was named the Wrestler of the Year and head coach Roger Kish was tabbed Coach of the Year for the second time in as many seasons. Wyoming’s Benjamin Stroh won the other major award, earning Freshman of the Year accolades.

Kish picked up his second coaching award after the third-year head man led his Bison to a second-place finish in conference duals with a 4-1 record and the league’s highest finish at the NCAA’s -- 21st. Kish also had his team nationally ranked in the NWCA/USA Today Division I Team Coaches Poll during the season after the Bison knocked off a pair of ranked schools (No. 19 Chattanooga and No. 20 Oregon State). He also coached Monk to the league’s best ever finish at the NCAA Champion-ships -- third.

In the near future, the goal of the league is to replace the West Regional with the conference tournament, which would then serve as the NCAA qualifier.

The 2015 NCAA West Regional/WWC Championships will be held on Saturday, March 7 at the Bison Sports Arena on the campus of North Dakota State University in Fargo, North Dakota.

The WWC recognizes student-athletes on both a weekly and full-season basis. Individual awards include Wrestler of the Week; All-Conference teams; an Academic All-Conference team; and Wrestler, Newcomer and Coach of the Year awards. The league also crowns a team champion following the conclusion of the regular season conference competition and the postseason tournament.

The governance of the Western Wrestling Conference remains primarily with the member institutions. Scheduling of contests, assignment of officials and certain media relations functions remain with member institutions.

A major benefit of having a league that is geographically spread out over five states and two time zones is the added exposure -- both in terms of media and recruit-ing -- in new destinations. The conference affiliation also generates much interest within the six schools’ substantial alumni base, which numbers nearly 800,000 combined.

North Dakota State, Northern Colorado and South Dakota State have all made the move from Division II to Division I since joining the WWC. UVU moved directly from Junior College (NJCAA) Athletics to NCAA Division I and completed its reclassification prior to the 2009-10 season.

@GoJacksWrestle44

South Dakota State University hosts home duals in Frost Arena, named after former Jackrabbit coach and athletic director R.B. “Jack” Frost. Frost served as athletic director and professor and head of the physical education department from 1947 until 1960. He compiled an 86-79 mark in seven seasons as Jackrabbit men’s basketball coach from 1948-54. Frost was also an international leader in recreation, health and physical education, serving in 1965 as the United States representative at the Fifth Session of the International Olympic Academy in Greece. Frost Arena, which is part of the Stanley J. Marshall HPER Center, now seats approximately 6,100 fans. The addition of chair-back lower-level seating prior to the 1992-93 season, as well as the addition of chair-back seating in the lower level end zones and new student bleachers in the summer of 2004, eliminated nearly 2,500 seats from the original seating capacity of 9,500. In the fall of 2005, Frost Arena was included with Coughlin-Alumni Stadium in a $3 million Daktronics scoreboard project. The Frost Arena portion includes a four-sided scoreboard with four ProStar® video screens measuring 12 feet by seven feet, two ProAd® displays measuring 60 feet long by four feet high and a new full-color digital ProTable® scorers table, all of which can display real-time statistics.

Widely regarded as the finest arena with the best athletics atmosphere in the state, Frost Arena was the site of NCAA Division II Wrestling National Championships in 1973, 1979, 1993 and 2000, as well as multiple North Central Conference championship tournaments. In 2010, Frost Arena played host to the NCAA West Regional wrestling tournament. The first event at Frost Arena was held on Feb. 2, 1973, when the Jackrabbit men’s basketball team hosted the University of North Dakota. In 1994, the one-millionth fan passed through the Frost Arena turnstiles. Frost Arena also has been the site of six North Central Regional men’s basketball tournaments, the 2003 NCAA Division II North Central Regional women’s basketball tournament, as well as regional and state high school tournaments. Postseason basketball returned to Frost Arena in 2007, as two rounds of the Women’s NIT were

played in front of capacity crowds.In addition, Frost Arena is the site of SDSU graduation ceremonies, the annual Wacipi pow-wow, concerts and numerous other campus events. Bids totaling $3,374,115 were let for the facility following legislative approval of the project, with the bill signed by Gov. Frank Farrar on Feb. 14, 1970. Ground was broken Sept. 22, 1970, with the cornerstone placed by Gov. Richard Kneip on Oct. 2, 1971. Final cost of the building was $3,685,000, with the difference made up by gifts and donated items.

With notoriously-raucous crowds, Frost Arena gives SDSU a distinct advantage competing in its home arena.

Frost Arena opened its doors on Feb. 2, 1973.

In September, 2004, the NCAA Membership Subcommittee approved SDSU’s request to fully reclassify its wrestling program to Division I status. After competing in the North Central Conference, the Jackrabbits competed Division I Independent for two seasons prior to the reclassification. The first year the Jacks were eligible to compete in the NCAA Division I Championships was 2006-07, two years ahead of the original timeline.

After competing as an independent for two seasons, SDSU joined the Western Wrestling Conference, an NCAA Division I wrestling-only alliance, as a charter member in 2006-07. Current members of the WWC include: The United States Air Force Academy, North Dakota State, Northern Colorado, South Dakota State, Utah Valley and Wyoming.

Division I Transition

The following wrestlers have received the Most Outstanding Wrestler Award at the NCAA Division II Championships:• Rick Jensen - 1976• Chad Lamer - 1996• Travis King - 1998

A building boom at South Dakota State University has expanded to the athletic department with the addition of the Sanford-Jackrabbit Athletic Complex (SJAC), which is schedules to open this fall.

The multi-use facility features an indoor practice facility and competition space of more than 149,000 square feet and a human performance area of nearly 15,000 square feet. The only eight-lane, 300-meter track in the region, the SJAC will also have 100 yards of soy-based synthetic turf and measure 61 feet high at midfield.

The SJAC is also the future home to the Warren Williamson/Daktronics Open.

“When you look what we’re going to have the capability to do - to get our baseball and softball programs ready for their spring seasons, to have a track program that will have All-Americans and potential national champions and maybe some more Olympians like Rod DeHaven was – those are the things that this facility is going to be able to do for us,” SDSU Athletic Director Justin Sell said.

Ground was broken on the SJAC in August 2013. The final beam was raised in March 2014 and the turf was installed in July.

Fundraising efforts kicked off in the summer of 2012. Leadership gifts from the Dale and Pal Larson Family, First Bank & Trust, Sanford Health, Larson Manufacturing, Brookings Health System and other anonymous donors helped make this facility a reality.

SDSU.JACKRABBIT.NATION

Legend of the JackrabbitThere are two theories as to how and why the

Jackrabbit nickname evolved. The most common be-lief is that the name “Jackrabbits” came from a storyand cartoon sketch that appeared in a Minneapolisnewspaper following a 1905 football game between the University of Minnesota and SouthDakota State College, as the university was thenknown. A reporter for the newspaper, knowing of thepreponderance of jackrabbits in the Brookings area,was believed to have written that the SDSC teamwas as quick as jackrabbits. Many people believethat the school adopted the Jackrabbits as its officialnickname from that beginning.

The other theory about the origin of the nicknameis given in The Jackrabbit, SDSU’s yearbook. Thereis a poem in the 1907 yearbook that puts forth theidea that the yearbook is called The Jackrabbit be-cause a group of juniors wished to immortalize them-selves by changing the name of the yearbook.Athletic teams followed suit, adopting the nickname.

Prior to the adoption of the Jackrabbit nickname,school athletic teams were known as the Barn YardCadets as SDSU was known as South DakotaState College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in1907.

South Dakota State University currently offers 21varsity sports with Jackrabbit teams competing at theNCAA Division I level. Football competes in the Divi-sion I Football Championship Subdiviion Missouri Val-ley Football Conference, with 18 sports competing inThe Summit League. Wrestling competes in the West-ern Wrestling Conference, while equestrian currentlydoes not have conference affiliation.

The South Dakota State University campus has seen numerousbuilding projects the past 10 past years. And it is not slowing.

Currently under construction are the Architecture, Mathematicsand Engineering Building, the Sanford-Jackrabbit Athletic Complexand an updated Medary Commons.

The Architecture, Mathematics and Engineering Building willbecome home for several of the most dynamic programs on cam-pus including:• Center for Financial Analytics,• Center for Statistics and Biometrics,• Center for Computational Science,• Senior Design Lab for Mechanical Engineering, and• Engineering Resource Center.

Construction of that 60,000-square-foot, $17 million projectstarted in fall 2013 after the summer was spent cleaning and thendemolishing Solberg Annex and the Industrial Arts Building. Thenew building’s footprint also extends to the parking lot north ofthose structures.

Completion is set for early 2015 with most of the moving to occurin spring and summer 2015. The first floor will be home to the me-chanical engineering prototyping and design labs and constructionand operations management departments as well as shared labspace with architecture. The mathematics and statistics departmentwill be on the second floor while the third floor will house the archi-tecture department.

The Sanford-Jackrabbit Athletic Complex is a multi-purposeindoor competition and training facility currently under constructionat South Dakota State University. The project, which will cost an es-timated $32 million, is scheduled to be completed this fall.

The facility will include an eight-lane, 300-meter track and 100yards of synthetic turf, along with space for sports medicine, athletictraining, strength and conditioning, physical therapy, hydrotherapy,observation rooms and office facilities.

The building formerly known as Medary Commons will be renamedthe Enrollment Services Center. The following offices will be relo-cating to that site: enrollment services, admissions, financial aid,records and registration, and scholarships.

The Innovation Campus at South Dakota State University marks thestate’s first and only university-affiliated research park. Located on 125acres just east of campus, it provides an environment that fosters part-nerships among the University, business, government and the commu-nity to grow the sciences and technology-based economy.

SDSU is building a future for South Dakota, the nation and the globe.The primary charge of the land-grant mission is to create opportunitiesfor the state through research and education. Research has been a vitalpart of SDSU since 1887 with the creation of the South Dakota Agricul-tural Experiment Station. Since that time, SDSU has been the reliableresource for research-based information and community leadership.Today, research provides a solid knowledge base for economic develop-ment, SDSU’s academic programs, and experiential opportunities forstudents.

In the spring 2013, South Dakota State University officials rolled outIMPACT 2018: A Strategic Vision for South Dakota State University. Thefive-year plan features four main goals:

• Promote academic excellence through quality programs, engaged learners and an innovatie teaching and learning environment;

• Generate new knowledge, encourage innovations and promote artistic and creative works that contribute to the public good and result in social, cultureal or economic development for South Dakota, the region, the nation and the world;

• Extend the reach and depth fo the University by developing strategic programs and collaborations, and

• Secure human and fiscal resources to ensure high performance through enhanced financial, management and governance systems.
