Vision, Mission and ValuesEvery undertaking of South Dakota State University is driven by a common force — a relentless commitment to excellence. Within the Athletic Department, excellence is measured by much more than wins and losses. We are committed to providing each and every student-athlete with a comprehensive collegiate experience that is second to none.

How will SDSU Athletics achieve that vision? By working tirelessly to create a special place where student-athletes who share our drive and determination can develop life skills that lead not only to athletic success, but pave the way for victories long into their lives. The important work of creating that setting is the heart of our mission:MISSION: To passionately and relentlessly create an environment, rooted in sportsmanship and ethical conduct, where motivated student-athletes can develop into lifelong champions.

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, including serving 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, who was honored as a recipient of the 2014-15 Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year Award, 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 22 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 four times (2010-11, 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15), 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 both the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons. SDSU also claimed the Steinbrecher award during the 2012-13 season and was the recipient of the

league’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 seven years in the league (2008-14).

In January of 2011, Sell announced a partnership with Learfield Sports, signing a 10-year deal worth $13 million for SDSU Athletics. Learfield Sports directs all aspects of the partnership, including managing and selling multimedia and sponsorship rights.

Additionally, 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 $603,000 in April 2015.

On the facilities front, Sell has overseen dramatic upgrades and expansion of competition and practice venues through development and implementation of the 2025 SDSU Athletic Facilities Master Plan. The Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center was completed in 2010, and Sell spearheaded efforts to add permanent seating and a press box at Erv Huether Field, as well as other recent improvements to the home of Jackrabbit baseball.

More recently, construction of the $32 million Sanford-Jackrabbit Athletic Complex was completed in the fall of 2014. The facility, which serves as a competition venue for indoor track and field and as a practice facility for football and a number of other outdoor sports, contains one of only a handful of 300-meter indoor tracks in the country, as well as expanded facilities for sports medicine and strength and conditioning.

In addition, work is under way for the construction of the $65 million Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium, which will serve as the new home of Jackrabbit football. The 19,000-seat stadium is scheduled to open in the fall of 2016.

In the fall of 2014, Sell was appointed by the NCAA Board of Directors to represent The Summit League and Missouri Valley Football Conference on the newly formed Division I Council.

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.

#GoJacksWrestle10

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 possible,” 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.”

Jackrabbit Wrestling: All Access is a complimentary video release to Jacked Up Mondays. In this behind-the-scenes installment, the cameras show the Jackrabbits away from the mat.

Last season All Access videos included preseason workouts, cribs and a day in the life.

As always, fans are encouraged to reach out to the wrestling staff with new ideas of what they want to see.

The Pledges 4 Pins campaign is designed to help the growth of the Jackrabbit Wrestling Club.

The Jackrabbit Wrestling Club is a nonprofit organization that supports the SDSU wrestling team through training and competition in the spring and summer. The money raised allows student-athletes to compete in the FILA Junior Na-tionals, University Nationals and train at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

Any pin made by an SDSU wrestler during the 2014-15 season counts towards your Pledges 4 Pins amount. Dual meets, tournaments, opens, the West Regional and the NCAA Championships count towards your Pledges 4 Pins amount.

For example, if you pledge $5 per pin and Jackrabbit wrestlers accumulate 40 pins on the season, your pledge is $200.

The Jackrabbit coaching staff tracks the pins and your pledge amount. When the season ends, the coaching staff calculates your pledge balance and sends you a notice with the balance and different payment methods.

Levels:Starter: $1-19All-Conference: $20-49All-American: $50-99NCAA Champion: $100+

#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 three seasons at SDSU, Bono has a 22-28 dual record after go-ing 11-8 in his third season, and has coached seven NCAA qualifiers. 2014-15 saw Cody Pack qualify for the NCAA Tournament for the third time, along with J.J. Everard and Nate Rotert, both first time qualifiers.

Bono’s third year on campus saw the Jacks have unprecedented success at the Division I level. As a team, SDSU finished over .500 in the regular season for the first time since 2004-2005, while also beating Stanford for the first time in school history.

Everard, Rotert, and Pack represented the second consecutive year that SDSU sent three qualifiers to the NCAA Wrestling Championships. As a team, the Jacks finished in third place with 56.5 points at the NCAA West Regional/WWC Championship, with Pack and Everard winning individual titles at 157 and 285, respectively.

Bono’s second season saw the Jacks make a large leap as a program. As a team, the Jackrabbits finished with a 6-8 dual record. SDSU beat Wyoming for the first time in school history and wrestled for the Western Wrestling Conference dual championship in its regu-lar-season finale at North Dakota State, but fell to the Bison.

Coach Bono and the SDSU coaching staff ushered in a new era in Jackrabbit wrestling in the 2013-2014 season 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.

In his first year as head coach at SDSU, Bono led the team to a 5-12 dual record, 1-4 West-ern 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 transitioning to Division I in its season opener. The Jacks defeated Big Ten opponent Indi-ana 19-18 at the Huskie Duals in DeKalb, Ill.

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

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

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 Na-tional 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.

#GoJacksWrestle22

125 pounds: PROJECTED STARTER - ISAAC ANDRADE

After another strong season from Isaac Andrade, it appears that he be the starter this year. Joining him will be freshmen Anthony Cefolo, Kahlen Morris and Cameron Sykora.

133 pounds: PROJECTED STARTER - BRANCE SIMMS

Senior Brance Simms ended the 2014-15 season with his ca-reer-best record. Also looking for time will be Ben Gillette, who recorded a 24-13 record last year. Jaxon Fitzgereld, Henry Pohlmeyer and Louie Sanders, will look to get into action as freshmen this year.

141 pounds: PROJECTED STARTER - ALEX KOCER

Junior Alex Kocer had a strong showing his sophomore year, notching a 10-5 dual record. Joining him in the 141 pound weight class will be sophomore Seth Gross, redshirt freshman Tyler Pieper, and freshman Tayt Boeckholt.

149 pounds: PROJECTED STARTER - LUKE ZILVERBERG

Only two wrestlers will be participating in the 149 pound weight class for the Jackrabbits this year, but it won’t be short on talent. Colin Holler and Luke Zilverberg are coming off strong season last year. Holler finished 14-12 last year, but did not participate in any dual matches. Zilverberg carried most of the load in dual matches, finishing with 13 dual starts on the year.

157 pounds: PROJECTED STARTER - CODY PACK

Three-time NCAA qualifier Cody Pack earned a fifth year by the NCAA to return to the Jackrabbits. Pack finished the year with a 37-6 overall record and was nationally ranked for a majority of the season. Joining Pack will be Logan Peterson and Lucas Eastman, who will see plenty of time wrestling unattached.

285 pounds: PROJECTED STARTER - ALEX MACKI

After finishing the season with an 11-12 overall record his fresh-man year, Alex Macki will look to lead the pack in the heavy-weight division this year. Macki finished second in the Worth-ington Open on November 17. Joining Macki will be Jimsher Sidhu from British Columbia and Noah Uhing, who wrestled at South Sioux City High School.

197 pounds: PROJECTED STARTER - NATE ROTERT

A national qualifier last year, Nate Rotert enters his sophomore year coming off an excellent year last season. He finished with a record of 22-12 overall, and posted a 12-4 dual record. He also finished first at the Bison Open last year. Caleb Ward, a fresh-man from Leavenworth, Kansas will look to get time unattached this year.

184 pounds: PROJECTED STARTER - JOSH CASPERSON

Coming off a freshman year unattached, Josh Casperson will look to be the starter in the 184 pound weight class. Casper-son, a Beresford, South Dakota native, finished the year with a 6-9 overall record. He also placed sixth at the UNK Open, the only tournament he participated in. Joining Casperson will be freshmen Zack Carlson and Martin Mueller.

174 pounds: PROJECTED STARTER - BRADY AYERS

Brady Ayers finished the season with an 18-16 overall record, and 9-9 in dual matches. David Kocher also preformed well, garnering a 26-20 record. Also looking for time is freshman Kasey Klapprodt, who had flourished in his high school career at Rapid City Stevens.

165 pounds: PROJECTED STARTER - JOE BREWSTER

After sitting out the year due to injury, Joe Brewster returns to the matt looking to bounce back in a big way. Junior Ben Schwery stepped in well last season, posting a 20-11 record, along with 3-1 in dual matches. Redshirt freshman Spencer Derifield recorded a 6-12 record in his freshman campaign, and freshman Lucas Eastman will look to spend time unat-tached this year.

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.

South Dakota State University was one of six schools to receive an invi-tation to join the Big 12 Conference as an affiliate member for wrestling, league officials announced in June 2015.

“Joining the Big 12 Conference in wrestling is huge for SDSU, our wrestling program and the fans of our program,” Jackrabbit head coach Chris Bono said. “We are now in one of the premier conferences in the country, which will bring more attention to our program across the country and let our student-athletes compete against the nation’s best.”

The affiliate member additions are effective beginning with the upcom-ing 2015-16 academic year. Affiliate members will immediately compete for the conference’s postseason championship and the league’s automatic qualification to NCAA postseason competition. The 2016 Big 12 Wrestling Championship is scheduled for March 5-6 at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri.

“We are excited to announce the addition of affiliate members in sports where the league already maintains a strong competition level,” said Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby, who also announced affiliate memberships for women’s gymnastics. “The additional insti-tutions will improve and strengthen what are already strong postseason events for the Big 12.”

Besides SDSU, the five other members of the Western Wrestling Conference — Air Force, Northern Colorado, North Dakota State, Utah Valley and Wyoming — also re-ceived affiliate membership. The Big 12 Conference now will feature 10 wrestling programs with Iowa State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and West Virginia previously making up the league’s slate of teams.

“Coach Bono has brought new life to our wrestling program and the growth over the past three years has been nothing short of spectac-ular,” SDSU Director of Athletics

Justin Sell said. “The opportunity to join the highly respected Big 12 Conference will further allow our student-athletes to compete against the best and for us to develop All-Americans and national cham-pions. The future is bright for the Jackrabbits.”

The Jackrabbits have competed in the Western Wrestling Conference since the formation of the alliance at the start of the 2006-07 season. SDSU competed as a Division I independent for two seasons after joining the ranks of NCAA Division I in the fall of 2004.

SDSU finished third at the 2015 NCAA West Regional/Western Wres-tling Conference Championship and qualified three individual wrestlers for the NCAA Championships.

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

#GoJacksWrestle70

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.
