2012-2013 South Dakota State Wrestling SEASON PREVIEW

Senior Aaron Pickrel leads the Jacks after his third season with 20-plus wins and second-highest single season winning percentage in his career.

Senior Dustin Walraven returns after his third-straight season with a winning record, including a winning record in dual competition.

South Dakota State enters the 2012-13 with high ambitions and high expectations, and a frame of mind to climb the Western Wrestling Conference standings. Head coach Chris Bono takes over the program after three successful seasons at UT-Chattanooga. Assistant coaches Israel Silva and Andrew Sorenson join Bono, along with volunteer assistant Chad Lamer. Competition for varsity positions increased over the offseason, as Bono and his staff signed a strong recruiting class. Lower Weights: 125-141 The lower weights are anchored by the team leader in wins from 2011-12. Despite suffering from an open weight the majority of the season, the lower weights were the strength of the team. Senior Aaron Pickrel continued his successful career in his junior campaign with a team-high 23-win season. Pickrel finished 23-11 overall, 10-3 in duals and 4-2 in the conference. “Aaron has done a great job getting ready for his senior season,” head coach Chris Bono said. “He stayed in Brookings all summer and got a head start on his training. He bought into us and our system and looks focused. I expect big things from Pickrel this year.” Junior David Klingsheim and freshmen Chet Utesch and Max Malave join Pickrel at 125. Klingsheim transferred from Nebraska, where he was a two-year starter and Big 12 champion, NCAA qualifier and Gatorade Rookie of the Year as a freshman. The Jacks do not have a returner at 133 pounds, but have numerous options in freshmen and transfer athletes. Junior Eric Orozco and freshman Brance Simms are set to battle it out for the starting position. Orozco

is a transfer from West Hills College, where he was the California JUCO state champion, Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament and a two-time Academic All-American. Senior Tyler Johnson, junior Will James and freshman Ben Gillette line up at 141. James transferred from Belmont Abbey and St. Andrews as an Academic All-American. Middle Weights: 149-174 The Jacks graduated Nick Flynn, last year’s lone senior, from the 157-pound slot. Flynn finished his career with 59 wins. Senior Dustin Walraven moves up one weight class to 149. He posted a winning record last season at 16-12. Walraven led the team with five pins and posted a winning record in conference duals. “Dustin Walraven is one of the leaders of this team and will do some great things this year.” said Bono. “He is a hardworking, mature young man who has the heart of a champion and a work ethic that is second to none. He competed injured last year and, now that he is healthy, the sky is the limit.” Junior Andrew Youngblom and freshman Nate Harms also compete at 149. Junior Austin Lindsay, sophomore Cody Pack and freshman Tyler White aim to fill the void left by Flynn at 157. Pack finished the season 5-1 overall and placed second at the Warren Williamson/Daktronics Open last season. Lindsay competed unattached last season, posting an 8-4 record. The Jacks need to fill the 165-pound slot after a roster departure and Joe Brewster is ready for the challenge. Brewster competed unattached last season and posted a 7-5 record. Redshirt sophomore Wesley Grew and freshman Ben Schwery look to contribute, as well. Grew, a N.H. D-I states placewinner,

2012-2013 South Dakota State Wrestling SEASON PREVIEW

transferred from Northern Essex. “Cody Pack and Joe Brewster will shore up our middle weights and accomplish great things for us this season,” Bono said. “Morisette and Nething will battle for time, as well.” Junior John Nething II wrestled unattached to a 7-3 record last season and may fit the 174-pound slot. Senior Joe Rasmussen returns at 174, along with senior Cord Willers, sophomore Troy Morisette, and redshirt freshman Ryan Festag. Freshmen Trey Hable and Tyler White will also compete at the middle weights. Upper Weights: 184-Hwt. SDSU returns one wrestler at the top two weight classes, but will sport a new face in the 184-pound slot. Freshman Hunter Weddington was the only wrestler at 184 in the preseason, but Shea Nolan moved down to provide some depth. Nolan competed unattached in his freshman campaign. Senior Joe Skow moves down from heavyweight to 197. Skow wrestled the entire last season at the top weight. “Skow moves down from heavyweight and is a tough match for any wrestler at 197,” Bono said. “Joe is extremely powerful and has a great desire to succeed.” Freshman Brandon Ballard is also listed at 197 and will battle for time on the mat. “Shea is a hardworking kid and will do whatever it takes to win,” said Bono. “I am very excited about his future at SDSU.” Freshmen J.J Everard and Jacob Haydel are listed as heavyweights entering the season.

Schedule The schedule consists of 18 duals, the most since the 2008-09 season, and three tournaments. The home slate includes seven duals and one tournament. SDSU opens the season at home with the Warren Williamson/Daktronics Open on Nov. 4. After the open, the Jackrabbits are on the road for a full month before hosting SIUE on Dec. 8. Another full month passes, with only one event in between, before the Jacks return home to host Simpson College on Jan. 11. Three weeks later, SDSU closes out the regular season with five-straight home duals, four of which are WWC duals. “We have eight home events this year and we are celebrating our 20th year of hosting the Warren Williamson/Daktronics Open,” said Bono. “We are really fired up about our first home dual of the season on Dec. 8 versus SIUE, which also serves as Youth Night with youth matches before the dual and an autograph session after the dual.” The road schedule stretches from Nevada to Illinois, Wyoming to Tennessee. “We wrestle a couple Big Ten teams and last year’s Big 12 team champion,” Bono said. “We are very excited about the schedule and how it will prepare us for March.” The Jacks face numerous schools in duals for the first time, including: Tiffin, North Carolina and Stanford. SDSU competes in one notable neutralsite dual, facing WWC opponent Wyoming in Spearfish, S.D., on Jan. 20.

Senior Joe Skow moves down from heavyweight to 197 for the 2012-13 season after competing all of 2011-12 at the top spot.

Bono was named head coach at UTC on July 29, 2006 and wasted little time directing the Mocs to their 22nd Southern Conference championship. He coached nine wrestlers to the 2007 NCAA Championships, a feat matched only by Minnesota. In his first season, Bono guided the Mocs to a 16-1 dual-match record, including an 11-match win streak to start the season and a victory at No. 14 Ohio State. He received high consideration for National Coach of the Year honors from RevWrestling.com. Bono joined the UTC staff in 2005 after serving nine years as an assistant coach at Iowa State. He was the Cyclones’ head assistant coach for five seasons. In Bono’s final year on the ISU staff, the Cyclones earned a third-place finish in the Big 12 Conference and a sixth-place showing at the NCAA Championships. A native of Gilbert, Iowa, Bono was named the National Wrestling Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year in 2002 for his role in ISU’s success. Bono lettered at Iowa State from 1994-97 and ranks fifth on the program’s all-time wins list with 130 victories. He won the NCAA 150-pound title as a junior.

A four-time NCAA participant, Bono placed fifth at the Nationals as a sophomore and second as a senior. As a freshman, he finished eighth at the Big Eight Conference Championships and was runner-up finish his sophomore year. Bono won the Big Eight title as a junior and was named the Most Outstanding Wrestler at the inaugural Big 12 Conference Championship in 1997. He was 115-17 his final three seasons. Following his senior season, Bono wrestled as a freestyle competitor and defeated Doug Schwab, 5-4, to take third place at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials in Las Vegas, Nev. In 2003, Bono won the 145.5-pound title at the U.S. Senior Freestyle National Championships in Las Vegas, qualifying for the World Team Trials in Indianapolis, Ind., where he was runner-up. Bono was a U.S. World Cup team member, earning the gold medal at the 2003 World Cup Wrestling Championships in Boise, Idaho, and was a member of the national team at the 2003 Titan Games in San Jose, Calif. Bono earned the U.S. Senior Freestyle No. 1 national ranking at 145.5 pounds and a spot on the U.S. World Team. He began the year with a first-place showing at the Dave Schultz Memorial in Colorado Springs, Colo., followed by a fourth-place finish at the Kiev Grand Prix in Kiev, Ukraine. Bono won a bronze medal at the Pan American Championships in Caracara, Venezuela, and placed third at the U.S. Freestyle National Championships in Las Vegas, earning a berth to the World Team Trials. At the 2002 World Team Trials, Bono swept through the mini-tournament beating Reggie Wright (Gator WC) of Colorado Springs, Colo., 3-1 and Schwab (Hawkeye WC) of Iowa City, Iowa, 3-2 to advance to the finals.

However, the U.S. World Team did not compete at the World Championships in Tehran, Iran. Bono captured top honors at the 2004 NYAC Invitational with a victory in the finals over 2004 NCAA champion Jesse Jantzen, formerly of Harvard. He also earned a 66-kilogram title at the 20th annual Sunkist International Open with a win in the finals over former 2003 NCAA 149-pound champion and current Arizona State assistant coach Eric Larkin. Bono competed at the 2005 World Championships in September in Budapest, Hungary.

2012-2013 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 30

area to showcase the program to recruits and 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 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.

Williamson coached the Jackrabbits for 16 seasons — from 1957-68 and from 1970-73. During his tenure, he compiled a 134-74-9 dual record, and coached 24 College Division All-Americans and two national champions. His teams also won three North Central Conference titles and placed in the top 10 at the College Division national tournament seven times. Williamson also is a member of the Jackrabbit Sports Hall of Fame and South Dakota Hall of Fame.

Former Jackrabbit wrestler Jim Koch, the longtime head wrestling coach at Wisconsin-Parkside, was inducted into the Division II Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2000. A 1969 graduate of SDSU and a Milbank native, Koch earned runner-up honors at the North Central Conference Championships three time and was an NWCA Academic All-American while wrestling under Warren Williamson. After serving as a graduate assistant at SDSU for one season, Koch accepted the head coaching position at Parkside in 1970. At the time of his induction, Koch’s wrestlers had earned All-America honors 88 times with 10 national titles. He also has held numerous leadership positions in wrestling coaches associations and was instrumental in the creation of the Division II Wrestling Hall of Fame.

South Dakota State Founded 1881 â&#x20AC;˘ Brookings, S.D.

2012-2013 South Dakota State Wrestling

2012-2013 South Dakota State Wrestling South Dakota State University You Can Go Anywhere From Here With a record enrollment of 12,725 students in the fall of 2011, 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 has 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

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.

2012-2013 South Dakota State Wrestling

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.

2012-2013 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.

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 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.

HILTON M. BRIGGS LIBRARY—Shown above is the entrance to South Dakota’s largest library, which was opened in 1977 and later joined the state’s automated library network in 1988. 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.

McCRORY GARDENS—The 70-acre McCrory Gardens and South Dakota Arboretum are located south and east of SDSU’s campus. The gardens provide a beautiful setting for area residents and tourists to enjoy a stroll through the radian colors and fragrances of one of the top 10 small ornamental gardens in the nation.

SOUTH DAKOTA AGRICULTURAL HERITAGE MUSEUM—Originally constructed as the Stock Judging Pavilion, the South Dakota Agricultural Heritage Museum is now home to exhibits that record and preserve the agrarian heritage of the state.

Justin Sell

Athletic Director, South Dakota State University Bowling Green, ‘91 Justin Sell joined the Jackrabbit staff on May 7, 2009 as the 12th director of athletics at South Dakota State University. Sell oversees the Jackrabbits’ 21-sport Division I varsity athletics program. Eighteen SDSU teams compete in The Summit League, while football competes in the Missouri Valley Football Conference of the Football Championship Subdivision and wrestling competes as a member of the Western Wrestling Conference. Women’s equestrian competes under the umbrella of the National Collegiate Equestrian Association. Under Sell’s leadership, SDSU athletics continues to make strides in athletic competition, in the classroom, in fundraising and in reconnecting with alumni. Athletically, the Jackrabbits claimed a total of 10 regular and postseason league championships in five different sports since 2009-10. That success earned SDSU The Summit League Commissioner’s Cup all-sports trophy following the 2010-11 season, after a runner-up finish the year before. Also in 2010-11, SDSU earned the league’s Sportsmanship Award, an award voted upon by their peers. 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 academic year and the Missouri Valley Football Conference Academic Award in all four years in the league (2008-11).

In January of 2011, Sell announced a partnership with Learfield Sports, signing a 10-year deal worth $13 million for SDSU athletics. Learfield Sports quickly established a Brookings-based entity known as “Jackrabbit Sports Properties” that directs all aspects of the partnership, including managing and selling multimedia and sponsorship rights for South Dakota State Athletics. In addition to the deal with Learfield Sports, Sell directed the implementation of the Letterwinners Club, which provides opportunities for Jackrabbit Athletics to reconnect and stay connected with former student-athletes, while supporting current student-athletes at South Dakota State. On the facilities front, Sell oversaw the completion of the Dykhouse StudentAthlete Center in 2010, and developed the 2025 SDSU Athletic Facilities Master Plan. Additionally, Sell spearheaded efforts to add permanent seating and a press box at Erv Huether Field, chairback seating in both Frost Arena and Coughlin-Alumni Stadium and continues working towards the building of an indoor practice facility and football stadium. 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 on the Brookings Health System Board of Trustees.
