2012 ALASKA ANCHORAGE SEASON PREVIEW

GoSeawolves.com

ith 25 returners and 12 newcomers, the Alaska Anchorage ski team enters the 2012 slate under the guidance of first-year head coach Sparky Anderson and his newly revamped staff. Joined by first-year head Nordic coach Andrew Kastning, Anderson’s Seawolves will need to use their experience and youth to make a run at the NCAA Championships, scheduled for March 7-10 in Montana. “This year we have an exciting blend of new faces and seasoned veterans,” said Anderson. “I’ve been very pleased with how all four components are working together.” In their 35th year of competition, the Seawolves will be led by a pair of seniors on the women’s side in Jaime Bronga and Alex Parker, while junior Andreas Adde and sophomore Lukas Ebner will be the top returners on the men’s team. Bronga, a three-time All-American, returns for her senior season hoping to claim a podium position at the NCAAs on the cross country trails, while Parker, who has a team-high four AllAmerica honors, will be aiming for an NCAA title on the Alpine courses. Adde, the 2010 NCAA slalom champion, suits up for his third season with the Green & Gold after posting all-conference honors last season, while Ebner completed his rookie season as the lone Seawolf to furnish a victory when he won the 20K classic at the RMISA Championships. “The athletes that have been around, been All-Americans, NCAA champions – they are doing a great job showing our new crop of talented studentathletes what it takes to win at the highest collegiate level,” said Anderson. Joining the top four returners are six other Seawolves who participated at the NCAAs a year ago – Ida Bjerka, Halfdan Falkum-Hansen, Steffi Hiemer, Kayla Hoog-Fry, Christopher Kollenborg and Laura Rombach. “Both groups, Alpine and Nordic,

have had a great prep period,” said Anderson. “Our camps were successful in letting us know what we’re doing well and where we need to focus our attention to get better.” UAA will use 12 newcomers (7 men, 5 women) to fill the gaps and pick up any extra slack. Rookies to keep an eye on are the Alpine’s Vanessa Berther, who comes to UAA after being a member of the U.S. Ski Team, and Nordic’s Nevio Zeni, who was a member of the Italian Junior Ski Team. The 2012 schedule is split nicely into thirds, with the first third of the season over two weekends in Colorado, the middle third with back-toback meets in Alaska, before Montana

Following the Colorado and Denver invitationals in January, the Seawolves will get the advantage of competing on their home turf for the first time since 2008-09, hosting the Alaska Anchorage Invitational on Feb. 4-10 and the Seawolf Invitational on Feb. 9-11. UAA will then have its final opportunity to qualify a full 12-member team to the NCAAs with the RMISA/ Western Regional Championships on Feb. 24-25. “Our division is loaded with talent, and I’m excited to go head-to-head with everyone and anyone,” said Anderson.

SPARKY ANDERSON Head Coach 1st Season

fter five seasons as the Seawolves’ head Alpine coach, Sparky Anderson takes over the reins of the entire Alaska Anchorage ski program for the first time in 2012. Prior to taking over head coaching duties this season, Anderson produced two national champions and seven downhill All-Americans throughout his five-year career from 2008-11 and 2002. Last season, Anderson helped the Seawolves to their fourth straight top-10 placing at the NCAAs, while finishing fifth overall at the RMISA / West Region Championships. In 2010, Anderson produced his second national champion in Andreas Adde, who won the men’s slalom. UAA landed a combined five skiers as All-Americans and finished 7th at the national meet. Anderson also helped UAA to a program-best second-place finish at the RMISA / West Region Championships. During his third season in 2009, Anderson helped UAA to a program-best fourth-place finish at the NCAA Championships, helped produced five All-Americans and six All-Conference members. Anderson guided freshman standout Alex Parker to four individual titles and the RMISA Women’s Alpine MVP, while UAA’s women’s Alpine team was the regional champion. In his first season back with UAA in 2008, Anderson helped guide the Seawolf Alpine squad to one of its most successful campaigns in recent history, qualifying a full squad of six skiers to NCAAs for the first time since 1999, while two racers earned All-America honors. UAA claimed the overall RMISA Alpine title by combining to score a conference championship meet-best 256 points, producing nine top-10 results. All told, the Seawolf downhillers combined for 25 individual top-10 results during the 2008 season. Anderson came as no stranger to UAA or collegiate ski racing, having coached the Seawolf Alpine squad in 2002, when UAA’s Aurore de Maulmont won the NCAA title in the giant slalom. Prior to coming to Alaska, he was the head ski coach at Brown University in Rhode Island from 1996-2000. Prior to rejoining the UAA coaching staff, Anderson worked as the program director for the Alyeska Ski Club in Girdwood for seven years. A 1991 graduate of the University of Nevada, Anderson earned four letters in skiing with the Wolf Pack, serving as team captain his senior season. After college, he moved to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, where he taught skiing for the Flori Woerndle Ski School. A year away from ski racing proved to be too much, and Anderson moved to Innsbruck, Austria, where he spent two years coaching a small FIS team at the Innsbruck International School. After leaving Europe, he moved to New England and spent two years coaching the Eastern Cup team at the Holderness School. In addition to his international experience, he holds USSA’s highest level of coach’s certification and currently serves as the Alaska Division’s USSA coaches education clinician. Over the years, he has been invited to coach at multiple national and regional events. Anderson grew up in Northern California and raced out of Bear Valley. He now resides in Girdwood with his wife Diana and daughter Kéa.

tom case

Chancellor – University of Alaska Anchorage

om Case assumed the chancellorship of the University of Alaska Anchorage in May 2011. A retired 3-star Air Force Lt. General, Case has spent more than 12 years in Alaska, including two Air Force tours of duty, five years as dean of UAA’s College of Business and Public Policy (CBPP), and three years as president and chief operating officer of a state-owned, independently operated Aerospace corporation. The 1969 graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy began his 33-year military career flying in Vietnam. Later, he served at the Pentagon, was selected as the first Air Force Chief of Staff Chair on the faculty of the National War College, and eventually went on to command two fighter wings, a numbered air force and Alaskan Command. He also served as deputy commander and chief of staff for the nation’s two largest geographic joint combatant commands. After retiring from the Air Force, Case returned to higher education as dean of CBPP at UAA. During his tenure, CBPP added several new certificate and degree programs, including a graduate certificate in Global Logistics, and played an instrumental role in the formation of CBPP’s Experimental Economics Laboratory.

Dr. Steve Cobb

Director of Athletics – Univ. of Alaska Anchorage

GoSeawolves.com

In 11 seasons at the helm of the University of Alaska Anchorage athletic

department, Dr. Steve Cobb has helped take Seawolf Athletics to unprecedented heights. Not only have the Seawolves excelled in the field of competition, but the foundation for future success has been set in several ways. Starting with the 2007-08 campaign, UAA has enjoyed four of the most memorable athletic seasons in school history, highlighted by three Final Four appearances for Seawolf basketball teams (women twice, men once), plus NCAA top-15 finishes for men’s and women’s cross country (four times), skiing (four times), and men’s track & field (twice). In fact, with UAA’s concurrent NCAA basketball runs in 2008, UAA became just the second school in Division II history to qualify both its men’s and women’s squads for the national semifinals. Under Dr. Cobb’s leadership, ground soon will be broken on UAA’s planned $109 million Seawolf and Community Arena on campus. He has also overseen major upgrades to UAA’s current facilities, including the installation of a new gym floor and bleachers at the Wells Fargo Sports Complex in 2010. In 2005, Dr. Cobb helped establish the Seawolf Legacy Fund to provide a permanent endowment fund that will ensure full funding for future athletic scholarships at UAA. Seawolf Legacy surpassed the $1 million mark in donations in early 2008. Early in his tenure, he was the driving force behind the establishment of the Seawolf Hall of Fame and was instrumental in negotiating naming-rights agreements for the Wells Fargo Sports Complex, Kendall Hockey Classic and Extended Stay Deluxe Invitational volleyball tournaments. The Alabama native has also overseen the creation of the Hockey Classic Wall of Champions above the Seawolves’ practice rink, as well as men’s and women’s Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout champions displays in the gymnasium. A former football coach, Dr. Cobb served as the athletic director at Georgia Southwestern State University before coming to UAA. In five years at Georgia Southwestern, Dr. Cobb raised the Hurricanes’ overall program to become one of the most successful in the nation, making the NAIA national playoffs in six of its seven sports and winning multiple conference championships in men’s and women’s basketball, softball and volleyball. From 1992-95, Dr. Cobb was an assistant athletic director at Iowa Wesleyan College, where he served as the football team’s defensive coordinator and special teams coach. He also had stints as an assistant football coach at East Texas State University (1990-92) and Sul Ross State University (1988-90). A 1981 graduate of the University of Montevallo, Dr. Cobb also holds a Doctorate of Education degree from East Texas State as well as a Master of Business Administration degree from St. Ambrose University and a Master of Education degree from Sul Ross State. Dr. Cobb and his wife Sandra reside in East Anchorage.

SEAWOLF ATHLETICS

Nicknamed the Seawolves, UAA’s athletic teams compete as

members of NCAA Division I in men’s ice hockey and women’s gymnastics and NCAA Division II in all other sports, including men’s and women’s basketball, women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s skiing, men’s and women’s outdoor track & field, and women’s cross country. UAA annually hosts the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout men’s and women’s basketball tournament — recognized as one of the top in-season tournaments in the nation — as well as the Kendall Hockey Classic. Since joining the NCAA ranks in 1977, UAA has become a perennial national power in many of its sports. A total of 164 Seawolves have earned All-America honors, and UAA has produced 15 individual national champions since 1991. The 2010-11 campaign will go down as one of the most overall successful years in Seawolf Athletics history as 10 of 11 UAA teams advanced in postseason competition, including the secondever WCHA Final Five appearance for hockey. Both basketball and cross country squads, plus volleyball, skiing and track & field, made NCAA appearances. Seawolves student-athletes have enjoyed unprecedented success in the classroom, compiling a cumulative GPA of 3.0+ in 14 of the last 17 years.
