ABOUT AUGUSTANA

About Augustana College Founded in 1860, Augustana is a selective, residential, comprehensive college of the Lutheran Church. The College is committed to enriching lives and fostering development by combining a foundation in the liberal arts with professional skill and advanced study. With nearly 1,850 students from 26 states and 30 countries, Augustana is ranked among the top 10 baccalaureate college in the nation for its efforts to advance social mobility, research and service by Washington Monthly. We’re proud to be featured among “America’s Top Colleges” by Forbes and to be named a “Best Midwestern College” by the Princeton Review and a “Best Buy” by U.S. News & World Report. Augustana is also identified as one of "440 Great Colleges for Top Students" by Peterson’s Guide and among “America’s top 100 outstanding but under-appreciated colleges” by Harvard Schmarvard. In 2012, we were named to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Role for supporting volunteerism, service-learning and civic engagement and the Templeton Guide includes the College among those that inspire students to lead ethical and civic-minded lives. We’re proud to say that the average ACT of our entering class is 25, one of the highest averages of any college or university in the region. Nearly 90 percent of our students come from South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska. Eleven percent are alumni legacies. Location Augustana is located in Sioux Falls, S.D., the largest city in South Dakota with a population of more than 160,000. The city’s dynamic, robust business environment offers our students internship opportunities in the areas of agribusiness, biotechnology, financial services, health care, manufacturing, and tourism. Sioux Falls is also home to the Washington Pavilion of Arts and Sciences, the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra, more than 500 restaurants, 70 parks and recreation areas, including a 20mile paved bike trail, and four minor league sports teams. A Global Perspective At Augustana, we believe that in order to learn about the world, you have to see it. Taste it. Live it. It’s why we’re committed to providing students with a global perspective. Nearly half of our students travel abroad during their college careers and, our campus is home to students from 30 countries. The Academic Program At the heart of the Augustana experience is a team of renowned, devoted professors who are passionately committed to engage the intellect and inspire the imagination. More than 80 percent of our full-time tenured and tenure-track professors hold the highest degrees in their fields. Augustana offers more than 50 majors and pre-professional specializations within a 4-1-4 academic year. Choice local internships, study abroad programs and local and national undergraduate research opportunities supplement the curriculum. Civitas, the College’s honors program, provides an exceptionally rigorous academic experience and bridges disciplines with an exploration of the values associated with leading a responsible life. Performing, Visual and Literary Arts At Augustana, we believe that art stirs the soul, enriches the mind and empowers the heart – it’s why the performing, literary and visual arts are cornerstone to our culture. We’re proud to say that the South Dakota VIKING FOOTBALL | #FightOn

Rob

OLIVER

PRESIDENT

South Dakota, 1975

When the Board of Trustees announced its decision to hire Robert C. Oliver as Augustana's twenty-third president, the campus and Sioux Falls communities' response was predictably and overwhelmingly positive. Oliver was no stranger to either community, and his leadership and passion for life and learning are hallmarks of his career. Born in Dayton, Ohio, Oliver attended public schools and entered the University of South Dakota in 1971. He obtained a bachelor’s in economics in 1975 and, while employed by Norwest Bank in Rapid City, began coursework to receive his master’s of business administration in 1977.

As Norwest Bank completed its transition to becoming Wells Fargo & Co., Oliver continued his progression through a variety of positions with the firm. He has experience as a personal banker and commercial banker and became manager of the business banking department in Sioux Falls. In 1987, Oliver was named president of the Sioux Falls market banks. He expanded the operations of the then Norwest Bank franchise in Sioux Falls to include 16 locations. In 1999, he was named southeast district president, responsible for 27 banking locations in 13 communities in southeast South Dakota and southwest Minnesota.

Oliver’s "free time" during his years at the bank included coursework at The Stonier Graduate School of Banking. He taught classes for the USD School of Business, both in their undergraduate and MBA programs in Sioux Falls. He also taught for the American Institute of Banking and the Institute for Financial Education.

Believing that service to one's community is as important as one's career, Oliver became well-known throughout the area as a model board member and volunteer. His area involvement has included the Avera McKennan Hospital Board of Trustees (chair), Augustana Board of Regents (former chair), Board of Directors of Avera Heart Hospital of South Dakota (member), Communication Services for the Deaf (board member), Sioux Empire United Way Board (former chair) and Volunteers of America (board member). Additionally, Oliver has served Forward Sioux Falls, Sioux Falls Development Foundation, Main Street Sioux Falls, YMCA, Threshold Youth Services, the Civic Fine Arts Center and Sioux Empire Red Cross. He is a member of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church. Oliver retired from banking in 2004 and joined the Augustana faculty as an associate professor and chair of the department of business administration. While his tenure within the department was brief, his dedication to students and excellence in the classroom were soon well-known. Oliver and his wife, Angela, are the parents of two daughters, Laura Oliver and Andrea Cammilleri.

Bill

GROSS

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Augustana’s athletic department has flourished under the direction of Bill Gross.

Augustana, 1973

From facilities to execution on the playing field, Augustana has gained national recognition under Gross’ guidance. The Vikings began competition in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference in 2008 and in just three seasons claimed its first U.S. Bank/NSIC All-Sports Championship. This award recognizes the NSIC program with the most success each year. Augustana claimed the U.S. Bank/NSIC title for the second straight season in 2011-12. Under the direction of Gross, Augustana finished in the top-five in the nation in the Learfield Sports Director's Cup standings for the second consecutive season. The Vikings collected 682 points, the highest-finishing team in the NSIC, sending at least two teams to the NCAA postseason in each of the three seasons for 2011-12. In 2010-11, the Vikings won seven NSIC championships and the football team shared a division title. Five Augustana teams competed for NCAA championships. In addition, the Vikings checked in at No. 3 in the Learfield Sports Directors' Cup standings, a national all-sports ranking of schools in NCAA Division II.

Augustana sponsors 18 athletic programs – nine each for men and women. In 2010-11, there were 362 student-athletes listed on the various Viking rosters.

Gross begins his 33rd year as a member of the Augustana athletic staff in 2011-12. He served as assistant men’s basketball coach from 1979 to 1983 and head men’s basketball coach from 1983 to 1992.

VETERANS AIM TO LEAVE THEIR MARK ON THE 2012 SEASON Viking 2012 Football Preview, by Bruce Conley

Augustana came away from the 2011 football campaign with a list of “what ifs.”

The Vikings were 6-5 overall, 6-4 in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference, and 4-2 in the NSIC’s South Division. The five losses came by a combined 24 points. A mere six points determined the outcome of three games. On the upside, the Vikings produced a fourth consecutive winning season. And Coach Mike Aldrich’s team rallied from a 0-3 start to win six of the last eight games.

Isaac Jorgensen (6-5, 260). A first team All-NSIC choice a year ago, Jorgensen logged 14 receptions for 177 yards and two touchdowns. His blocking ability helped the Viking offense average 380 yards a game. Five of the top six scorers from 2011 are back and led by kicker and second team all-conference pick Drew Behrens’ 70 points. Newell was second (48), fullback Phil Uecker (6-1, 230) fourth (36), Gebhardt fifth (30), and Parsley sixth (20).

tackles. Thomas Vanasek (6-1, 195) started two games, appeared in nine and logged 23 tackles. Sean Kelley (510, 160) saw action in 10 games and picked off a pass to go along with 22 tackles. Chris Lucido (5-11, 185) had one start in 2011 before suffering a season-ending injury. Anthony Tucker (6-1,195) played in nine games and was the starter at free safety during spring drills.

Plugging holes in the offensive line and defensive secondary were priorities in spring drills. Role players in 2011 are ready to step up, and a talented recruiting class could provide immediate assistance.

“I am very excited about 2012 and this year’s team,” said Aldrich. “When you have the type of leadership and experience going into the year like we do, combined with a ton of athletic talent, there is so much confidence within the program.”

Offense Certainly the Vikings have the firepower to move the chains. Among the weapons offensive coordinator Steve Olinger has in the Augustana arsenal include the top passer and rusher from 2011 along with two of the leading four receivers.

Quarterback Josh Hanson (6-1, 185) will be directing the offense for the third season. He was an All-NSIC honorable mention choice a year ago after completing 61 percent of his passes for 2,640 yards and 18 touchdowns. Running back Dajon Newell (5-10, 185) saw no action in the first two games of 2011 before becoming the Vikings’ workhorse at running back. A second team AllNSIC choice, he rushed for 887 yards, averaged five yards a carry, and scored seven touchdowns. His contributions to the aerial assault included 23 catches, 171 yards, and a touchdown.

Left guard Bo Adams (6-2, 280) is the most experienced of the returning linemen with 10 starts last fall. A year ago Tom Ries (6-2, 275) and Nick Pappas (6-3, 275) shared duties at center, but Ries has been moved to left tackle for 2012. Trevor Houser (6-4, 290) appeared in seven games last season and is the projected starter at right tackle. Bruce Manz (6-3, 300) moves from the defensive line to right guard. Offensive linemen were a recruiting priority for 2012 and the new class includes Mac James (6-1, 295), Sam Lee (65, 300), Chris Mathieu (6-3, 300), and Patrick Tomlin (63, 300).

Special teams Behrens (6-3, 195) returns for a fourth season as the Vikings’ primary field goal kicker. It will be his third season as punter. He has appeared in 35 consecutive games, scored 198 career points, and has been successful on 56.5 percent of his field goal attempts. He holds Augustana season records for most consecutive kicks (42) and field goals (27). He owns single-game records for field goals made (5) and points scored by kicking (16). His career punting average is 40.2 yards per attempt. Gebhardt led the Vikings in both punt and kickoff returns in 2011. He returned 17 punts for 105 yards, and 18 kickoffs for 491 yards and a touchdown.

Defense A year ago the Vikings were second in total defense in the NSIC and return a tested front line. Both defensive ends, Jason Engstrom (6-3, 282) and Joel Slinden (6-3, 250), started all 11 games at end. Aaron Jung (6-2, 255) was a fixture at nose guard and earned the Twisted Metal Award for his efforts during spring practice. The linebacking corps is solid, led by Austin Luecke (61, 225), who earned All-NSIC first team honors and was chosen to the Daktronics All-Super Region Three second team. He led the Vikings in tackles (107), with 10 stops resulting in losses. In addition, he forced two fumbles, broke up four passes, intercepted a pass, and blocked a kick. Luecke earned NSIC South Division Preseason Player of the year honors as well as being named to the Beyond Sports College Network’s 2012 preseason All-America second team. Grant Gebhardt (6-0, 175) and Ben Parsley (6-3, 195), both honorable mention all-conference picks in 2011, finished the season as the third and fourth-leading receivers, respectively. Together they accounted for 61 catches, 780 yards, and seven touchdowns. Bolstering both the receiving corps and offensive line is tight end

Ross Peterson (6-1, 234) was the second leading tackler (84), including 4.5 for losses. Keith Newman (6-3, 230) started all 11 games and posted 39 tackles to go along with an interception and three breakups. Some savvy defenders are missing in the secondary but experienced players are ready to step up. Devon Alber (5-11, 175) started 11 games last fall and registered 25

“Our senior leaders have experienced a lot of success during their careers, our young players are very skilled, our coaching staff is great, and the support and leadership from the College is second to none,’ Aldrich said. “The 2012 season is going to be very fun.” #FightOn | VIKING FOOTBALL | 9

Prior to the start of spring drills, the Augustana football program holds a final fittest of the offseason conditioning program. For the past six seasons, the football team participated in Viking Olympics. In 2011, the event changed to Iron Viking. Players were split into teams of 10 and grouped by offense or defense. Each team had to complete a series of events and the team with all of its members to cross the finish line first was the winner. The Iron Viking event started at Kirkeby-Over Stadium where players first did 10 power cleans of 185 pounds before running a 300-yard dash. Players then ran from the stadium to the practice field where players did 20 dumbbell swings (50 pounds) and 20 tire hops. From there, players sprinted around the softball field and into the Elmen Center. Once in the Elmen Center players were to bench press 225 pounds 10 times or 185 pounds 15 times and swim 200 meters (five lengths) in the pool. The final leg of the competition was a sprint to the goalline at Kirkeby-Over. Below is a list of the teams and their finishing times.

Mike Aldrich is the only head football coach in Augustana history to post winning records in the first two seasons.

Last year the Vikings registered an overall record of 6-5. They were 6-4 in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference regular-season standings, with a 4-2 mark in the South Division.

Augustana won six of its last eight games in 2011 after a 0-3 start. Three of the Vikings’ setbacks came by a total of six points. Aldrich’s inaugural season in 2010 was one for the record books. He guided the Vikings to a school-record 11 wins (11-2). A 21year drought in NCAA Division II playoff appearances came to an end, and in the second round the Vikings eliminated fourtime national champion Grand Valley State with a convincing 38-6 win at Kirkeby-Over Stadium. It was the first time Augustana hosted a playoff game, while earning the school’s first playoff win.

The Vikings claimed a share of the NSIC South Division title (5-1) and tied for the second best overall record in conference play (9-1). Augustana was ranked sixth in the final American Football Coaches Association poll, matching the highest billing in school history. Seventeen Vikings were named to the 2010 all-conference team, eight to the Don Hansen NCAA Division II All-Super Region Three team, and five to the Hansen All-America team. Aldrich was selected Region 5 Coach of the Year and was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual National Coach of the Year award. He was also tabbed College Men’s Coach of the Year by the South Dakota Sportswriters Association. As the architect of Augustana’s defense, Aldrich’s unit topped the NSIC in total defense in 2010. Buoyed by 26 interceptions, the Vikings led the nation in pass-defense efficiency. In 2011, the Vikings led the league in rushing defense and were second in total defense and pass defense. Sixteen Vikings were named to the all-conference team and two to the Daktronics All-Super Region Three team.

Aldrich began a second stint with Augustana in 2004 as the team’s assistant defensive coordinator, special teams coordinator, and secondary coach.

In 2003 he was a graduate assistant at the University of Louisville following a two-year assignment as the secondary coach and assistant special teams coordinator at Augustana. Under Aldrich’s tutelage, Viking special teams developed a reputation for blocking kicks. Augustana stuffed eight kicks in 2004 and nine in 2005. Aldrich vs. Opponents

Southwest Minnesota State..........2-0 Upper Iowa ....................................2-0 Wayne State ....................................0-2 Winona State..................................2-0

During his first term at Augustana, Aldrich molded one of the top secondary defenses in NCAA Division II. Producing five allconference selections and an All-America choice during his tenure, the Aldrich- directed Viking secondary ranked among the nation’s top 10 for interceptions and was anchored by the league-leader in interceptions each of his two seasons.

In addition to his duties at Augustana, Aldrich was the head coach and defensive coordinator for the Sioux Falls Storm of the National Indoor Football League (NIFL) from 2000 to 2002. Aldrich’s impact on the NIFL was immediate as the Storm defense became one of the league’s strongest.

He returned to the Storm midway through the 2005 season as the defensive coordinator, an appointment he held through the 2009 campaign. During his final four seasons with the organization, the Storm won four consecutive United Indoor Football (UIF) championships and recorded a professional sports record 40 straight wins. The Storm featured the No. 1 scoring defense in the UIF in 2006. Aldrich was the special teams coordinator and linebackers coach at California Lutheran University in 2000 following a stint as the defensive line coach and assistant defensive coordinator at the College of the Sequoias in 1999.

A native of Burnsville, Minn., Aldrich began coaching at St. Olaf College, his alma mater. He coached the Oles defensive line in 1995, was the assistant offensive coordinator and tight ends coach in 1996, and was in charge of the linebackers in 1997 and 1998.

A four-year letter winner at St. Olaf, Aldrich served as special teams captain during his junior and senior seasons. He earned a bachelor’s degree in economics and social studies education from St. Olaf in 1995, and received a master’s degree in kinesiology from the University of Minnesota in 1999. Aldrich and his wife, Kristen, are the parents of Makenna and Joseph.

NORTHERN SUN HISTORY From its modest origin as a six-team alliance nearly eight decades ago, the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference has matured into a 16-team union of upper Midwest colleges and universities to form arguably the strongest affiliation in NCAA Division II. The NSIC can trace its roots to 1932 when six schools, including Bemidji State University, Minnesota State University, Mankato, Minnesota State University Moorhead, St. Cloud State University, University of Minnesota Duluth and Winona State University signed on as charter members. All remain active subscribers of the league today.

Southwest Minnesota State University was added in 1969, followed by Northern State University in 1978, Wayne State College (NE) in 1998, Concordia University-St. Paul and the University of Minnesota, Crookston in 1999, the University of Mary and Upper Iowa University in 2006, Augustana College in 2008 and Minot State University and the University of Sioux Falls in 2012.

Minnesota State, St. Cloud State and Minnesota Duluth later left the league to join the North Central Conference but returned to the NSIC in 2008. University of Minnesota, Morris and Michigan Tech University were once part of the NSIC family as well. In 1992 the NSIC became a true athletic showcase for both men and women with the merger of the traditional Northern Intercollegiate Conference (NIC) and the Northern Sun Conference (NSC), the home of women’s athletics since 1979.

Before NSIC affiliates became certified for championship competition in the National Collegiate Athletic Association in 1995, its member institutions filled prominent roles in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). NIC and NSC clubs annually dispatched qualified student-athletes to national tournaments and captured several NAIA teams and individual championships. The NSIC celebrates its 81st season this year and clearly continues to make a major imprint nationally, winning 11 national titles since 2006. Winona State men claimed NCAA II Basketball Championships in 2006 and 2008 and narrowly missed a third crown, falling in a last second shot in 2007. In addition, the Warriors established a NCAA II record of 57 consecutive victories.

Concordia University launched an ongoing streak of five consecutive NCAA II Volleyball Championships in 2007. In 2008 the Golden Bears won 37 straight matches after a season opening loss on their way to a second consecutive title and scripted a marvelous encore in 2009 with a perfect 37-0 finish, a third straight national crown and a winning streak of 74 straight matches. In 2010 the Golden Bear extended that win streak to 75 before dropping their second match of the season. They started 2010 with a 10-4 record before ripping off 22 straight wins on their way to their fourth straight national title. In 2011, after overcoming midseason injuries, the Golden Bears hit their stride. The Golden Bears knocked off No. 1 and undefeated Cal State San Bernardino to become the first team in the history of NCAA Division II women’s volleyball, to captured a fifth consecutive NCAA Division II Championship. In a most surprising run, Minnesota Duluth completed a perfect 15-0 season by winning the 2008 NCAA Division II Football Championship. The Bulldogs, limited to only 24 scholarships by league rule, swept a field of fully-funded teams, including top ranked Grand Valley State and number three Northwest Missouri State. Two years later in 2010 the Bulldogs repeated that feat, going 15-0 again to win the national championship. The Bulldogs became the first NCAA DII football squad to win two national championships with undefeated records.

Minnesota State added more luster to the league by finishing 32-2 and claiming the 2008-09 NCAA II Women’s Basketball Championship. The Mavericks rolled to a wild 103-94 victory over Franklin Pierce to set a NCAA record for total points in the title game. Augustana College got into the mix of national championships in 2011 when their women’s cross country team turned in a true team performance in Spokane, Wash. All five Viking runners earned All-American status as Augustana won the first cross country national championship in NSIC history. Since 2000, the NSIC has also participated in Mineral Water Bowl. Hosted by the Quarterback Club of Excelsior Springs, Mo., the Mineral Water Bowl matches the highest-finishing teams from the NSIC and the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) not selected for the NCAA Division II football playoffs. In 2000, Winona State defeated Missouri Western State, 43-41, in triple overtime, for the Warriors first-ever NCAA II post-season win.

The NSIC has also had five athletes awarded with the NCAA Elite 89 Award, which is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA’s 89 championships. Earning the award were Ben Keller (Minnesota State, Baseball 2012), Cody Lensing (Augustana, Wrestling 2012), Kendra Huettl (Minnesota State, Softball, 2011), Matt Braithwaite (Augustana, Cross Country, 2010) and Lauren Brown (Winona State, Outdoor Track & Field, 2010). Member schools continue to emphasize the educational, entertainment and unifying value of sports while pointing with pride to the many advantages to be gained by attending these colleges and universities. The NSIC is committed to providing rewarding experiences for its student-athletes, and while the challenges that loom are sizable, indeed, the NSIC is surely well positioned for the future.

BACK TO CAMPUS The anchor of Augustana’s on-campus athletic facilities is KirkebyOver Stadium--one of the premiere football venues in NCAA Division II.

President Rob Oliver announced in October 2007 that construction of Kirkeby-Over Stadium would begin soon on the site of the Vikings’ practice field at 37th Street and Lake Avenue. Through the generosity of Kari and Bob Hall, that dream has come to fruition and given the Vikings the on-campus facility they have been missing for half a century. It was the Halls who were responsible for bringing football back to campus at Augustana. The Halls donated $6.1 million towards the construction of Kirkeby-Over Stadium.

Kirkeby-Over Stadium honors the memory of Kari Hall’s father and mother, Percy Kirkeby and Elizabeth Markley Kirkeby-Over. Percy Kirkeby graduated from Augustana in 1947. He was a veteran of World War II, having served with the Army Air Corps in Italy. An English major, he was a Rhodes Scholarship candidate, active in debate and speech and was the editor of the Mirror, Augustana’s student newspaper. He was killed in a plane crash in 1951.

Elizabeth Markley majored in sociology at Augustana and graduated in 1944. She was president of the Athenian Society and was a member of the Augie debate squad. She died in 1994. Kari Hall majored in sociology at Augustana and graduated in 1969. Bob Hall attended Augustana and is currently the equipment manager for the football program.

Kirkeby-Over Stadium was designed by TKDA, a specialty architecture and engineering based in the Twin Cities. The Winkels Group in Sioux Falls managed the project. The facility features a FieldTurf surface in a bowl venue with seating for approximately 6,500, including 2,200 chairback seats. Fans are also able to watch the action from grass berms in the end zones.

Luxurious suites, a spacious press box and private media booths border the west sideline of the stadium. The facility also boasts high definition television monitors in each suite and plenty of connection options for use by media. The new facility is Augustana’s third on-campus football venue. The College relocated to Sioux Falls in 1918 and built the first field in the late 1920s. It was located behind the current administration building, East Hall and Old Main.

Construction on a new stadium, complete with bleachers and press box, began in 1941 where the Statue of Moses and the Morrison Commons stand today. Augustana began playing its home games at Howard Wood Stadium in 1958.

Kari and Bob Hall have been generous contributors to Viking athletics for many years. Their $1 million gift in 2005 helped build the Hall Football Complex attached to the Elmen Center and near the new Kirkeby-Over Stadium.

Bob’s father and mother, Bill and Irene Hall, were also longtime contributors to Augustana, and their gift in the 1980s helped construct the Elmen Center, in which the Hall Sports Forum is named in their honor. Bill and Irene also provided a variety of other gifts to Augustana athletics which assisted with facility upgrades and continue to assist with on-going annual scholarships and operations. All told, the family has gifted and pledged more than $11.1 million to Augustana. Kirkeby-Over Stadium, 2009-Present Pictured in 2009 #FightOn | VIKING FOOTBALL | 97

HALL FOOTBALL COMPLEX The Hall Football Complex and Sanford Gymnasium opened in November of 2007. The 28,000 square-foot, two-level building is attached to the south side of the Elmen Center.

The addition has improved facilities for the student-athletes and coaches who are part of the Augustana football program and provides muchneeded indoor practice facilities for all 18 Viking teams. The first floor of the facility houses the Hall Football Complex. Included are a locker room with 100 lockers, a large weight room, meeting rooms, offices, training room and many other amenities.

Two regulation-size college wood basketball courts are on the second floor in the Sanford Gym. The gym features a state-of-the-art playing surface, curtains that can separate the courts and baskets that can be lowered under 10 feet for use with youth camps. Until the Sanford Gym was constructed, the Elmen Center Hall Sports Forum was the only indoor area available for practice, intramurals, and gym recreation functions. Completed in 1989, the Elmen Center previously measured 84,000 square-feet. In 2003, through the Elmen Center Enhancement Project, 8,000 square-feet were added to the structure.

With the completion of the Hall Football Complex and Sanford Gym addition, the building span is now more than 120,000 square-feet.
