2010-2011 South Dakota State Wrestling SEASON PREVIEW

Dustin Walraven compiled a 20-14 record in his sophomore campaign and finished fourth at the 2010 NCAA West Regional. Walraven stands at 42-33 on his career.

Nick Flynn finished his sophomore year with a 17-16 record. He returns to the 157-pound weight class with a 27-35 career record.

Despite coming off a 2-11-1 season in 2009-10, the Jackrabbits enter the 2010-11 season poised to make a splash in the Western Wrestling Conference. The Jacks return nine letterwinners and eight starters from an extremely young squad and head coach Jason Liles expects to again rely heavily on youth with eight sophomores and a freshman class of 14. “We had a very good recruiting year. We’re not sure how many kids will wrestle this season. We’d like to redshirt some of them. We need our upperclassmen to step up this year and have breakthrough seasons,” said head coach Jason Liles. After becoming the all-time wins leader at South Dakota State two seasons ago, Liles enters the 2010-11 season with a record of 143-121-4 Lower Weights: 125-141 The Jacks enter the season young at the lower weights, with only one upperclassman thrown into the mix. Liles expects sophomore Aaron Pickrel to get the start at 125 pounds. Pickrel went 24-13 overall last year, 8-5 in dual matches and captured fourth place at the 2010 NCAA West Regional. “We expect Aaron to get to the next level this year. He was one match away from qualifying for the national tournament last year. He consistently needs to beat ranked competitors this season,” Liles said. Freshman Drew Fleming joins Pickrel in the 125-weight class. The three-time Minnesota state high school champion should be a strong addition to the Jackrabbits. A new face fills in at 133 pounds. A twotime Iowa state place winner from Prairie High School in Swisher, Iowa, freshman Jake Rizzio is expected to step up. Chris Pilot, a freshman from Birmingham, Ala., is a three-time state place winner and is expected to make an impact at the 133-pound level.

At 141 pounds, junior Dustin Walraven should secure the starting position after successful freshman and sophomore campaigns. Walraven, 42-33 on his career, finished fourth at the 2010 NCAA West Regional. During the 2009-10 season, he went 20-14 with a 4-6 dual record, including five falls and three wins by major decision. “As a two-year starter, I expect Dustin to help lead the Jacks and qualify for the national tournament this season,” Liles said. New additions to the 141-weight class include a six-time freestyle and six-time Greco state champion in Cody Pack, Tony Vaske, who took first at the Minnesota state meet in 2010, and Andrew Youngblom, who also earned first in his weight class in the 2010 Minnesota state meet. Middle Weights: 149-165 Tyler Palmer returns for the Jacks at the 149-pound level. He posted a 0-2 mark last season as a freshman, but his 98-55 prep record shows his potential to make an impact. Two freshmen round out the 149-pound weight class in Joe Brewster and Jimmy Hamilton. Brewster finished his prep career with a 154-14 record, four-time state qualifier and two all-American accolades. Hamilton is a four-time state qualifier and three-time state place winner. He finished his prep career with a 181-37 record. “We will be inexperienced, but hopefully more talented than we have been at this weight class. Brewster has the early nod to start, but don’t count out Brookings native Tyler Palmer,” Liles said. Nick Flynn, a sophomore from Lansing, Kan., went 17-16 last season as a 157-pounder. Flynn won five matches by fall and one by major decision. Sophomore Seth Moe also returns at 157 pounds. Moe is experienced on the mat having wrestled at both 165 pounds and 141 pounds last season.

2010-2011 South Dakota State Wrestling

2010-2011 South Dakota State Wrestling SEASON PREVIEW Freshman Rex Lyon joins Flynn and Moe at 157 pounds. Lyon placed sixth at the South Dakota state high school wrestling meet in 2010, second in 2009 and seventh in 2008. At 165, freshman John Nething from Paynesville, Minn. leads the way. A three-time Minnesota state place-winner, Nething won 155 matches in his prep career, 58 of them by fall. Freshman Troy Morisette comes in at 165 pounds with a 143-51 prep career record. Morisette placed sixth at the Minnesota state tournament twice and was part of a sixth-place team at the state tournament. “We’ll go with a true freshman at this position, whether its Nething or Morisette. Both had excellent high school careers so the key here will be mental toughness,” Liles said. Upper Weights: 174-Hwt. The upper weights are the most experienced section of the Jacks wrestling squad, with two 2010 West Regional place winners and one 2009 West Regional place winner. Sophomore Scott Elliott received a redshirt last season but went 26-7 during his freshman campaign and placed third at the 2009 West Regional. Elliott, who notched seven pins on the season, led the team with the most takedowns and had a 13-match winning streak during his debut season. Sophomore Cord Willers also comes in at 174 pounds. Willers is 2-6 on his career with two falls. At 184, David Michaud looks to hold onto the starting position. Last season, Michaud went 11-8 with six falls and won the true second place match at the 2010 West Regional. “David is just coming into a zone after a strong finish at the Regional last season. He’s taking that confidence and getting to the next level.

Junior David Michaud returns for the Jacks after winning the true second place match at 184 pounds at the West Regional a year ago. Michaud finished the 2009-10 season with an 11-8 record. He tallied six falls throughout the season.

Look for him to continue where he left off at the West Regional last season,” Liles said. Freshman Kyle Caylor stands alone for the Jacks at 197 pounds. The Haysville, Kan., native won the Kansas state championship in the last three years of his prep career and finished second as a freshman. Caylor was a NHSCA senior all-American and Fargo freestyle all-American in 2010. At heavyweight, the Jacks look toward senior Kevin Kelly, who finished fourth at last season’s NCAA West Regional. Kelly enters the season with an 8-18 career record. “Kevin worked very hard this summer and gained confidence from the last half of his junior season. He was one match away from nationals last year and we expect him to build on that this year,” Liles said. Head coach Jason Liles became the all-time winningest coach at SDSU two seasons ago with a 141-110-3 mark. His career record stands at 143-121-4.

South Dakota State University wrestling coach Jason Liles enters his 18th season for the Jackrabbits, his second since becoming the alltime wins leader at the university with a record of 141-110-3. His record currently stands at 143-121-4. Liles overtook the late Warren Williamson, who compiled a 134-74-9 dual record over 16 seasons from 1957-68 and 1970-73. Overall, Liles holds a career record of 232-149-5 over a decorated 26 seasons. Starting with the 2004-05 season, the Jackrabbits competed at the NCAA Division I level. SDSU wrestled as an independent the first two seasons in the D-I ranks, then joined seven other schools in forming the Western Wrestling Conference in time for the 2006-07 season. SDSU completed a fast-tracked transition to Division I prior to the 200607 season, making the Jackrabbits eligible for postseason consideration. Under Liles’ guidance, redshirt freshman Ryan Meyer became the first SDSU wrestler in the D-I era to qualify for the national meet following a runner-up effort in the 165-pound weight class at the 2007 West Regional. In 2009, Tyler Sorenson represented the Jacks at the national tournament after a second-place finish at the West Regional. Sorenson was hampered by injury to start the season but bounced back to a 14-4 record, with all losses to wrestlers at the national meet. In 2010, Sorenson finished first at the West Regional and made a repeat appearance at the national tournament. As a team, the Jackrabbits placed fifth at the 2007 and 2009 West Regional and sixth in 2008 and 2010. Liles led SDSU to a winning dual record nine times, including a streak of eight consecutive winning seasons from 1996-2003. As part of that streak, the Jackrabbits tied a school record with 17 dual victories during the 1997-98 season. SDSU won the National Wrestling Coaches Association National Duals that season and repeated the feat during the 1999-2000 season. In 1993-94, Liles took over the South Dakota State wrestling program and guided

the Jackrabbits to a fourth-place finish in the NCAA Division II tournament. That marked the highest national finish for the Jackrabbits in 25 years and was the first time that SDSU had two individual national champions — Chad Lamer at 177 and Justin Blasius at 190 — in the same season. In each of his first 10 seasons, Liles led the Jackrabbits to a top-10 finish at the NCAA Division II Championships, including nine straight top-five finishes. SDSU placed second at nationals twice (1998, 2001), third once (2001), fourth four times (1994,1996, 1997, 2000) and fifth two times (1995, 1999). He also led SDSU to a

2010-2011 South Dakota State Wrestling

2010-2011 South Dakota State Wrestling Coaching Staff North Central Conference team title in 1997 — its first in 17 years. Liles was named Division II Wrestling Coach of the Year during the 2000-01 season, one in which the Jackrabbits posted a 9-5-1 dual record and came within a victory of claiming the first team national championship in school history. By the time SDSU completed its run as a member of the North Central Conference and NCAA Division II at the close of the 200304 season, the SDSU wrestling program had produced 46 All-Americans, 11 national champions and 36 NWCA All-Academic Team selections during Liles’ tenure. Liles came to SDSU in 1993 after a nineyear stay at Montana State University-Northern, in Havre, where he led his squads to NAIA national championships in 1991 and 1992. Liles was inducted into the MSU-Northern Athletic Hall of Fame during the fall of 2003. His teams at MSU-N won NAIA District-12 championships in 1988, 1990, 1991 and 1992. During his career at MSU-N Liles posted a dual record of 89-33, coached six individual national champions (including the Outstanding Wrestler at the 1990 national tournament), and produced 48 All-Americans.

His teams produced eight academic All-Americans, with the team showing a 3.00 cumulative grade point average from 19871993. Prior to joining the staff at MSU-N, Liles was assistant wrestling coach at Miami University in Ohio (1981-84). While serving as an assistant coach at Miami University (Ohio), he worked toward the master’s degree he received in 1982. At Miami, Liles played an integral part in developing three NCAA Division I All-Americans. Miami won the Mid-America Conference title in 1984 and had an alternate to the 1984 USA Olympic Freestyle team. Liles got his start in coaching at the high school level in his native state of Ohio. In two seasons at Arcadia High School, he produced back-to-back Blanchard Valley Conference championships in 1980 and 1981, when his teams combined for a 20-6 dual record. A 1979 graduate of Bowling Green State University in Ohio, Liles ended his career as the winningest wrestler in the university’s history. A four-year starter, he was chosen the team’s most valuable wrestler his last three seasons (1977-79). Liles and his wife Holly reside in Brookings. They have two sons - Walker and Hunter.

2010-2011 South Dakota State Wrestling

2010-2011 South Dakota State Wrestling Coaching Staff Josh Hardman Assistant Coach Manchester College ‘00 Second Season Hardman enters his fifth year with Jackrabbit wrestling program where he is primarily responsible for recruiting and day-to-day operations. Most recently, Hardman was the head wrestling coach at Dakota Wesleyan University for four years, leading the Tigers to a 15-35-1 dual record during his tenure. Hardman has coached three NAIA All-Americans, 24 NAIA national qualifiers and seven All-Great Plains Athletic Conference selections. Hardman’s Tiger teams were also a success in the classroom, earning NWCA-NAIA All-Academic distinction from 2007-2009, with the third-highest GPA in the NAIA in 2007 and the fourth-highest in 2008 and 2009. He also coached seven NWCA-NAIA All-Academic team selections. In addition to his coaching duties, Hardman also served as the chairman of the sports management department at Dakota Wesleyan and served on the athletic department’s administrative team.

2010-2011 South Dakota State Wrestling Coming off its best season, the Western Wrestling Conference, an NCAA Division I wrestling-only alliance, will begin its fifth year of competition in 2010-11. Charter members of the Western Wrestling Conference include: the United States Air Force Academy, North Dakota State University, the University of Northern Colorado, the University of Northern Iowa, South Dakota State University, Utah Valley University and the University of Wyoming. The WWC had a breakout year in 2009-10 WWC ALL-CONFERENCE TEAM - FIRST TEAM 2009-10, with three league wrestlers Wt. Wrestler School Yr. Hometown earning All-American honors.

I Wrestling National Championships, 14 via automatic slots and three Cole VonOhlen Air Force Fr. Jackson, Minn. 141 at-large selections. The WWC had four 149 Andrey Patselov North Dakota State Jr. Fargo, N.D. competitors who were seeded in the 157 Tyson Reiner Northern Iowa Sr. Mitchell, S.D. top-12 of their brackets. At 125 pounds, 165 David Bonin Northern Iowa RFr. Broussard, La. Wyoming’s Michael Martinez was the 174 Tyler French Air Force Sr. Malta, Mont. No. 11 seed, while Utah Valley’s Ben Kjar Andy O’Loughlin Northern Iowa RJr. Independence, Iowa 184 had the final seeded position, No. 12. 197 Drew Ross North Dakota State So. Fergus Falls, Minn. In the 165-pound weight class, UW’s 285 Stephen Larson Air Force Sr. Lakeville, Minn. Shane Onufer was the No. 8 seed and his teammate, LeBlanc, was in the No. 7 slot at 184 pounds. The 2010 NCAA West Regional served 125 as the conference tournament for the 133 fourth straight season. The tournament 141 was held in Frost Arena on the South 149 Dakota State University campus in 157 Brookings, S.D. In the team race, 165 Wyoming came from behind and won the 174 West Regional team title by a half point 184 over the 24-time defending champion 197 Northern Iowa Panthers. It is UW’s 285 first-ever West Regional team title. The Cowboys also won the league’s regular season dual title with an undefeated 6-0 record. Wyoming and Northern Iowa tied for the regular season championship in 2009, and UNI was tops in the league after both the 2007 and 2008 seasons. The league’s three major postseason awards in 2010 were given to Wyoming’s LeBlanc for Wrestler of the Year, Cole VonOhlen from Air Force as Freshman of the Year and Northern Iowa’s Brad Penrith as Coach of the Year after his final season. 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 2011 NCAA West Regional is set for March 6 at Clune Arena on the Air Force Academy grounds in Colorado Springs, Colo.

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. With league members spread out over six states and two time zones, schools are required to compete against four league schools in dual action to be eligible for the

regular season conference championship. Schools are encouraged to schedule as many conference schools as possible. A major benefit of having a league that is geographically spread out so far is the added exposure – both in terms of media and recruiting - in new destinations.The conference affiliation also generates much interest within the seven 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 during the 2009-10 season.

2010-2011 South Dakota State Wrestling Frost Arena South Dakota State University hosts home matches 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 6,500 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 a few 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

FROST ARENA has undergone a number of improvements in the past couple years, including the addition of a new scoreboard and video display system. The 37-year-old arena remains one of the premier athletic venues in the Upper Midwest. 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.

Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center The Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center officially opened in April 2010 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony during the annual spring football game. The 30,000-square foot facility houses an academic center for all SDSU student-athletes, serves as the home of Jackrabbit football with coaches offices, locker room, meeting rooms, a strength and conditioning center and athletic training facilities and provides a dedicated area to showcase the program to recruits and 2010-2011 South Dakota State

donors. Situated on the north end of CoughlinAlumni Stadium, the Dyhouse Center is the first major athletic building constructed on campus since Frost Area in 1973. In November 2007, South Dakota State officials announced gifts totaling $6 million from the Dykhouse family and T. Denny Sanford to begin construction of a student-athlete development center on the Brookings campus. The Dykhouse Center is a project of It Wrestling

Starts with STATE: A Campaign for South Dakota State University. It is the largest university fundraising drive in state history, with a working goal of $190 million. The campaign is in response to campus-wide strategic planning that developed a vision for future growth on campus.

2010-2011 South Dakota State Wrestling

2010-2011 South Dakota State Wrestling South Dakota State University You Can Go Anywhere From Here With a record enrollment of 12,376 students in the fall of 2009, South Dakota State remains the state’s largest institution of higher learning.

SDSU Early History

Located in Brookings, the Territorial Legislative Assembly authorized SDSU in 1881 to serve as the state’s land grant institution. Territorial Council member John O’Brien Scobey managed to secure Dakota Agricultural College for his city. Although allocations fell short of the actual cost, the school did open in the fall of 1884 because the president, George Lilley, advanced $500 — one-third of his salary — to finish three rooms in the new Central Building. “Old Central” was soon joined by South (1885) and North (1887), forming the nucleus of campus for a decade and a half. During the first year of operation, the college only held preparatory classes. College classes started in 1885 with five teachers, 17 freshman and 61 preparatory students. Growth stayed slow and erratic for many years, but by the turn of the 20th century, 242 students enrolled and by 1990, SDSU enrollment grew to more than 9,000 students.

Colleges Established

SDSU granted nearly 70,000 degrees since its charter in 1881. The structure of the college became more complex as enrollments increased. The first nine chairs of instruction established in 1884 included agriculture, science, mathematics, English, modern languages, military tactics, veterinary science, practical business, political & domestic economy and music. By 1907, the year the name of the institution changed to South Dakota State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, there were 22 departments on campus. Reorganization into the five divisions that formed the basis for the designation of colleges was completed under President Charles W. Pugsley in 1923. In 1964, when “State College” became South Dakota State University, the school included six colleges. Now, students can earn degrees offered through eight colleges. Students can choose from more than 200 majors, minors and options at SDSU with more than 2,500 different course offerings. Master’s degrees can be earned in more than 30 areas, with doctorates available in eight fields. SDSU also offers degree programs through the South Dakota Public Universities and Research Center in Sioux Falls.The Office of Academic Affairs and Outreach coordinates evening, RDTN, Internet and off-campus courses. The North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools accredits SDSU, while numerous departments on campus hold accreditation from various other agencies. SDSU celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2006, a yearlong event that culminated with the 2006 Hobo Day football game. Over those 125 years, SDSU grew from a campus of 80 acres in 1881 to a 271-acre campus with facilities worth more than $220 million. The university owns or leases another 15,000 acres for research throughout the state. The Printing and Journalism Building — now named Anson and Ada May Yeager Hall — underwent a $2.1 million expansion and renovation project. Other recent campus construction projects include a $7 million expansion to Crothers Engineering Hall, the renovation of Solberg Hall and the building of a $9 million performing arts center, which opened in the fall of 2002. A new residence hall (Caldwell Hall) and the University

AGGIE SCHOOL CLOCK TOWER—The clock tower sits in front of the Tompkins Alumni Center on the west side of campus. The alumni center is host to many university and alumni functions throughout the year. The Coughlin Campanile (left) is considered South Dakota State University’s most recognizable landmark. The campanile’s cornerstone was laid on June 10, 1929, by Charles Coughlin and its chimes have called students to classes with its famous Westminster peals ever since.

Student Union expansion and renovation opened in the fall of 2005, and the Enterprise Institute, located on the southwest corner of campus opened in 2004. In 2005, SDSU spent more than $3 million to install new state of the art scoreboards in Frost Arena and at Coughlin Alumni Stadium.

Agricultural Research

The university reaches all corners of the state through the Cooperative Extension Service and the Agricultural Experiment Station, offering service to improve the quality of rural life. SDSU also sponsors the Center for Innovation, Technology and Entrepreneurship; Engineering Experiment Station, Office of Remote Sensing; Water Resources Institute; Engineering and Environmental Research Center; Animal Disease Research and Diagnostic Laboratory; and Northern Grain Insect Research Laboratory. These units help strengthen the university’s growing commitment to research and support of state and local economic development efforts. The Northern Great Plains Biostress Laboratory, dedicated in 1993, houses scientists who focus on research aimed at developing new technologies to protect crops and livestock. SDSU is also one of just five universities to serve as a

regional center for the Sun Grant Initiative, which is a concept to solve America’s energy needs and revitalize rural communities with Land-Grant university research, education and Extension programs on renewable energy and bio-based non-food industries. The Harding Distinguished Lecture Series, the F.O. Butler Lectures, the Lusk Lecture and the Amdahl, Schultz-Werth and Griffiths endowments all supplement classroom instruction. Students can also choose from more than 100 clubs and organizations on campus.

Museums & Attractions

The educational opportunities do not end in the classroom or laboratory, as South Dakota State University houses several facilities, including museums and gardens. Dedicated in 1970, and expanded in 2000, the South Dakota Federation of Women’s Club first envisioned the South Dakota Art Museum in 1949. The museum’s collections include early Sioux Indian tribal art, the famed Harvey Dunn paintings of pioneer life and the exclusive Vera Way Marghab linens. The State Agricultural Heritage Museum transformed the former Stock Judging Pavilion into a home for exhibits that record and preserve the agrarian heritage of South Dakota. The 70-acre McCrory Gardens and South Dakota Arboretum, located south and east of campus, provide a beautiful setting for area residents and tourists to enjoy a stroll through the radiant colors and fragrances of one of the top 10 small ornamental gardens in the nation. It is also recognized as an All-American Display Garden, one of only 13 in the nation. In 1993 McCrory Gardens was designated an All-American Judging Garden to conduct research on annual flowers. Since 1985, private contributions made many new gardens possible including the Rose, Rock, Centennial Prairie, Iris, True Lily, Mum, Native Prairie Collection, Oak Tree Memorial Garden, AllRed Specialty Garden, Peony Garden, Shrub Rose Collection, and Children’s Maze. In August 1994, McCrory Gardens dedicated

RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES—SDSU has the highest involvement of undergraduates in research of any South Dakota public university. The university is large enough to offer the opportunities, yet small enough to foster student-faculty learning opportunities.

the Mickelson Grove Memorial in honor of former governor and Brookings resident George S. Mickelson. In 1982, they dedicated the area north of the formal garden to the planting and testing of ornamental trees and shrubs. The 45-acre site was designated the South Dakota State Arboretum in 1988. The arboretum’s purpose is to test woody plants needed to protect agricultural fields and livestock from the region’s harsh environment, to provide hardy trees to shade our towns and cities, and to test ornamental shrubs for both durability and beauty. SDSU Horticulture, Forestry, Landscape and Parks Department manage the arboretum and gardens. McCrory Gardens continues to develop more gardens, tree and shrub collections.

COOLIDGE-SYLVAN THEATRE—The Sylvan Theatre, located on the southwest corner of campus, is an outdoor amphitheater that has been the site of concerts, graduations and inaugurations of university presidents since its dedication by President Calvin Coolidge in September 1927.

South Dakota State’s most recognizable landmark may be the 165-foot Coughlin Campanile, the state’s largest chimes tower. A climb of 179 steps leads to a panoramic view of the city. 1909 Engineering graduate Charles Coughlin, who later went on to become head of the Briggs & Stratton Corporation, donated the statuesque structure on the west end of campus at a cost of $65,000. Coughlin laid the campanile’s cornerstone on June 10, 1929. Since then, its chimes call students to classes with the famous Westminster peals. An alumni-sponsored project to restore the campanile was completed in the summer of 2001. Named after a former SDSU President, The Hilton M. Briggs Library, the state’s largest, opened in 1977 and joined South Dakota’s statewide automated library network in 1988.Through the library, users can access holdings from all 10 of the state’s libraries, including official documents and more than 1 million other holdings at Briggs. Adjacent to the campanile, Coolidge-Sylvan Theatre provides a restful, green haven for students since its dedication by President Calvin Coolidge in September 1927. Over the years the outdoor amphitheater hosted concerts, graduations and inaugurations for university presidents. Woodbine Cottage, the home of the university president, is a charming example of Queen Anne architecture. Built in 1887 by South Dakota Agricultural College’s second president, Dr. Lewis McLouth, the home is crowned by multiple rooflines. The house also served as a women’s dormitory, music hall and infirmary.

SOUTH DAKOTA ART MUSEUM—The museum is home to several collections, including early Sioux Indian tribal art, the famed Harvey Dunn paintings of pioneer life, and the exclusive Vera Way Marghab linens. The South Dakota Art Museum also has a variety of other exhibits throughout the year.

2010-2011 South Dakota State Wrestling South Dakota State University You Can Go Anywhere From Here The Jackrabbits

Two theories exist as to how and why SDSU’s athletic teams became known as the “Jackrabbits”. Most believe that the name “Jackrabbits” came from a story and cartoon sketch that appeared in a Minneapolis newspaper following a 1905 football game between the University of Minnesota and South Dakota State College. Many believe that a reporter for the newspaper, knowing of the preponderance of jackrabbits in the Brookings area, wrote that the SDSC team was as quick as jackrabbits. Many people believe that the school adopted the Jackrabbits as its official nickname from that beginning. The other theory about the origin of the nickname came in The Jackrabbit, SDSU’s yearbook. A poem in the 1907 yearbook puts forth the idea that the yearbook is called The Jackrabbit because a group of juniors wished to immortalize themselves by changing the name of the yearbook. Athletic teams followed suit, adopting the nickname. Prior to the adoption of the Jackrabbit nickname, fans knew the school athletic teams as the Barn Yard Cadets as SDSU was known as South Dakota State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1907. The Jackrabbit can run at speeds of 30-to-35 miles per hour, with bursts up to 45, making it the second fastest animal in North America, second only to the pronghorn antelope, which can run at speeds up to 60 miles per hour. Jackrabbits are, properly speaking, not rabbits but hares, with longer feet and longer ears than rabbits. Most hares live in open country, whereas rabbits - like cottontails - live in brushy habitats. Jackrabbits can grow up to two feet long, weigh froms six to nine pounds, with ears up to eight inches long. Hares are vegetarians, eating tender herbs in summer, and woody twigs and bark in the winter.

MEMORIAL PARK—Memorial Park, located between DuPuy Military Hall and Briggs Library in the center of campus, honors SDSU students who have served in the armed forces, including Congressional Medal of Honor recipients Capt. Willibald Bianchi and Col. Leo Thorsness.The park was dedicated in the fall of 2000.

a judge in the state supreme court. In honor of his support of railroad construction, and possibly because of his stalwart nature, South Dakota’s first locomotive was named the “Judge Brookings.” Situated at the intersection of U.S. Highway 14 and Interstate 29, about 20 miles west of the Minnesota border and 50 miles north of Sioux Falls, the Brookings community of about 18,500 people continues to grow. The community also houses several recognizable companies including Rainbow Play Systems, Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (3M medical products), Larson Manufacturing (doors and windows), and Daktronics, a leading manufacturer of scoreboards and display systems.

Brookings, South Dakota

Named after W.W. Brookings, who came to the area in 1857. That winter, his legs froze badly enough to force doctors to amputate them. Undaunted, Brookings stayed and eventually became president of the territorial council and

Through the library, users have access to holdings from all 10 of South Dakota’s libraries, including official documents and more than 1 million other holdings in Briggs.

WOODBINE COTTAGE—Built in 1887 by SDSU’s second president, Dr. Lewis McLouth, Woodbine Cottage serves as the home of the university president. Over the years, the house has also served as a women’s dormitory, music hall and infirmary.
