SPARKY ANDERSON

A

HEAD COACH / 5TH SEASON

fter five seasons as the Seawolves’ head Alpine coach, Sparky Anderson enters his fifth season as the head coach of the entire Alaska Anchorage ski program in 2016.

Since taking over the program in 2012, Anderson has produced nine All-America certificates on the slopes and 19 combined with Nordic. Prior to taking over head coaching duties, Anderson produced two national champions and nine downhill All-America certificates throughout his five years as an assistant from 2008-11

and 2002.

During his first four years as head coach, Anderson has led the Seawolves to four top-9 NCAA finishes, including a fifth-place result in 2012.

UAA also finished seventh in 2013, eighth in 2014 and ninth in 2015.

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 programbest fourth-place finish at the NCAA Championships and helped produce 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, 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 19962000.

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.

2016 ALASKA ANCHORAGE SKIING

Since its inception, RMISA schools have won 53 of the 61 championships conducted by the NCAA, or 86.1 percent, since 1954. Five of the seven schools that have won an NCAA skiing championship have done so from the RMISA. Denver leads the way with 22 NCAA titles, followed by Colorado’s 18 and Utah’s 10.

Wyoming won two titles and New Mexico one. Only Vermont (6) and Dartmouth (3) have won titles from outside the RMISA. Colorado and Dartmouth split the title in 1976.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN INTERCOLLEGIATE SKI ASSOCIATION

F

ounded in 1950, the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association has long since been a leader in the collegiate skiing world. Being in existence longer than the sport has been sanctioned by the NCAA and boasting more national championships than any other conference, the RMISA has historically and remains today as the premier skiing conference in the United States.

Utah and Colorado each boast one AIAW national championship, as well. The RMISA welcomed women’s teams into the league in 1977, the same time skiing became an AIAW sport. The NCAA incorporated the AIAW in 1983, and at that time the sport became co-ed.

With the start of the RMISA there began a post season championship, starting in 1951 and being taken over by the NCAA in 1954. Denver won two of those four titles with Dartmouth and Washington State taking the other two.

With the two AIAW titles by Colorado and Utah and two from Denver prior to the start of the NCAA, that brings the total number of national championships to 57 since the start of the RMISA. Prior to 1950 and the start of the conference, there were multiple events that were considered the intercollegiate championship. Utah won what was considered the national four-way intercollegiate ski championship in Sun Valley, Idaho.

The RMISA has also boasted the most individual NCAA Champions, boasting 306 out of 441, or 69.4 percent of all individual champions. Colorado leads the way with 88, followed by Denver (84) and Utah (69). Vermont is the only other school with 50-plus individual champions, with 62.

2016 ALASKA ANCHORAGE SKIING TOM CASE

T

om Case, Lt. Gen. USAF (Ret.), became chancellor of the University of Alaska Anchorage in May 2011.

Upon completing his Air Force career, he was appointed dean of UAA’s College of Business and Public Policy (CBPP), where he served nearly six years before becoming president and chief operating officer of the state-owned, independently operated Alaska Aerospace

Corporation.

Since returning to UAA as Chancellor, Case has focused on helping students succeed in their college goals. In 2011, UAA became one of only 11 universities nationwide to open a VetSuccess program on campus. UAA opened a Veteran’s Resource Center in 2013 to support its growing military and veteran student population.

With support from Chancellor funds, UAA established the INNOVATE awards in 2011 to provide an incentive for innovative research. Seawolf Holdings was approved in 2012, establishing a pathway toward the commercialization of UAA research. In February 2013, ZENSOR, LLC became the first startup company incorporated in Alaska based upon research by UAA faculty. A second startup incorporated in June 2013. Currently, UAA has 31 invention disclosures with 12 patents pending.

Under Case’s leadership, UAA opened a new Health Sciences Building, the new Alaska Airlines Center, and received funding to complete a new Engineering and Industry Building, slated to open in 2015.

Married to his wife Susan for 45 years, they have a daughter Donna, sonin-law Daniel, and three grandchildren.

A graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, Case received a Master of Science degree in Systems Management from the University of Southern California. He is a graduate of the National War College, the U.S. Army Command & General Staff College, the Air War College, and Emory University’s Advanced Management Program.

He is an active member of the community, having served on the boards of the Alaska World Affairs Council and World Trade Center Alaska, and is immediate past president of Commonwealth North.

He is an avid pilot and, of course, a great Seawolf fan.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

KEITH HACKETT

E

ntering his third year as Director of Athletics at the University of Alaska Anchorage in 2015-16, Keith Hackett has positioned the Seawolves’ 13-sport NCAA program for unprecedented growth and success.

Since arriving on Oct. 1, 2013, Hackett has overseen planning and logistics for the department’s transition into the $109 million Alaska Airlines Center – a state-of-the-art sports, community and concert venue that has transformed the UAA campus – along with a major expansion of the Seawolves’ hockey facilities at the Wells Fargo Sports Complex.

Under his leadership, the department has developed a strategic plan that lists priorities, guiding the decision-making process and allowing the department to maintain focus on the Mission of Seawolf Athletics.

A university and administrative management executive with 38 years of higher education experience, Hackett values connecting with the Anchorage community and building positive relationships with campus faculty, students, staff and U-Med District partners.

In addition to reorganizing the internal management structure of the department, he has also entered into agreements with several national leaders in collegiate brand advancement. Hackett has developed partnerships with industry leader Spectra to manage the Alaska Airlines Center and UAA’s ticketing operations; Learfield Sports – the industry leader in media rights and sponsorships; and its newest partner, Basketball Travelers, to assist UAA in developing the GCI Great Alaska Shootout.

Hackett has worked closely with corporate partners GCI and Alaska Airlines – and national TV partner CBS Sports Network – to bolster the vitality of UAA’s most visible event, the GCI Great Alaska Shootout.

Other important areas that Hackett has targeted include external development, revenue generation, and enhancing the ‘Seawolf Fan Experience.’ Since Hackett’s arrival, over $3.2 million new dollars have been raised for facility projects and Student-Athlete support, total sales revenue has increased yearly by 36 percent, and significant enhancements have been made to the in-game fan experience and the level of service provided to season-ticket holders and Seawolf fans.

Along with his behind-the-scenes contributions, UAA’s success in the competitive arena has also been apparent in Hackett’s first two years, with the Seawolf program finishing among the top 12 percent of all NCAA Div. II institutions in the Learfield Director’s Cup both times. All told during his tenure, the Seawolves’ D-II programs have qualified for NCAA postseason competition at a 90 percent rate, producing 42 All-Americans, four Academic All-Americans®, and seven Great Northwest Athletic Conference team titles.

Even more impressively, UAA student-athletes have continued their tradition of academic excellence under Hackett’s leadership, combining for better than a 3.15 overall grade-point average in his of his two years at the helm.

Hackett came to the Seawolves after working from 2004-13 as the senior associate AD for internal affairs at the University of Nevada, where he oversaw the football, track & field/cross country and baseball programs.

Prior to his time in Reno, Hackett served as Executive VP for Special Projects and Director of the St. Gregory’s University College for Working Adults in Tulsa, Okla. He also served as Executive VP and Provost at St. Gregory’s from 1997-2004, and as VP for Admissions and Enrollment Management/Dean of Admissions for Law, Graduate and Undergraduate Admissions at Oklahoma City University from 1992-97. He worked at OCU as Dean of Students from 1986-89.

From 1989-92, Hackett was the Associate AD at Northern Illinois University, where he oversaw eight Division I sports, including football and men’s and women’s basketball.

The native of Nanuet, N.Y., began his college coaching and teaching career at Baker University in Baldwin, Kan., where he was head baseball coach from 1978-83 and assistant football coach from 1977-83. From there, he went on to coach offensive line for the football program at Div. I Memphis from 1983-85.

Hackett earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Tarkio (Mo.) College in 1976 and an M.S. in education from the University of Kansas in 1979.

He and his wife Patricia have been married for 39 years and have two adult children, Katie and James.

The Municipality of Anchorage

laska’s most populous city is home to more than a few surprises. Aside from the human population of nearly 300,000, it is home to 1,500 moose and copious other wildlife. More than 50 glaciers stand in the nearby Chugach Mountains, one of the largest state parks in the nation. It’s the best mix of iconic Alaska and urban amenities.

More than 135 miles of paved trails wind through the city, and salmon can be caught within the city limits. But Anchorage

also has a bustling downtown – complete with high-rises, nightlife and one of the nation’s fastest-growing culinary scenes.

Anchorage is at the center of road, rail and air travel inside the state, making it a natural fit for visitors hoping to experience Alaska. Activities from the city range from bear viewing to glacier trekking, kayaking to gold panning.

Pair adventure opportunities with Anchorage’s outstanding hotels, restaurants,

local breweries, and homegrown arts, and it’s a perfect place to explore no matter the season.

Thanksgiving weekend is a special time for Anchorage. The GCI Great Alaska Shootout headlines a holiday weekend packed with events. The Town Square tree lighting, the Anchorage Museums craft fair and seasonal exhibits, and other big sporting events all combine to keep Anchorage jumping.

The State of Alaska

laska is the largest state in the union — one-fifth the size of the contiguous 48 states and more than twice the size of the second largest state, Texas.

Although Minnesota is called the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Alaska holds the real title in that department with more than three million lakes. Alaska also boasts 39 different mountain ranges, three of which can be seen from Anchorage, and an estimated 100,000 glaciers.

The 49th State is home to Denali, the highest peak in North America (20,320 feet). Also known as Mt. McKinley, the collosal mountain is located in the heart of Denali National Park and Preserve, located 200 miles north of Anchorage, and can be seen from the city on clear days.

The gymnastics team will also host the 2015 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships in the main arena.

With state-of-the-art scoreboards, video production and sound quality, the Alaska Airlines Center will be a first-class venue for spectators and competitors alike.

Behind the scenes, UAA student-athletes from all 13 sports utilize the Center’s high-tech sports medicine and weight training facilities, which include a HydroWorx hydrotherapy pool with underwater treadmill and an AlterG anti-gravity treadmill.

Also home to UAA Commencement, high school state tournaments, concerts and numerous community events.

The University of Alaska Anchorage, academic home to more than 16,000 students, is an intersection for intellectual exploration, adventure and transformative experiences in and out of the classroom. With campuses throughout Southcentral Alaska, from the shores of majestic Prince William Sound to the verdant Matanuska and Susitna Valleys, UAA students experience a unique, hands-on education through academics, research, leadership opportunities and mentorship with our community partners in-state, across the country and globally.

Surrounded by an environment that is both urban and wild, UAA is a gateway to innovative thinking, learning and exploration in a changing, modern world. UAA is rooted in the Alaska communities it serves and offers exciting pathways in 200 major areas of study, all at a great value.

UAA’s student-athletes, the beating heart of #SeawolfNation, compete in 13 NCAA collegiate sports. At the Division I level, UAA fields a men’s ice hockey team and a women’s gymnastics team. Competing in Division II are men’s and women’s basketball, cross country running, skiing and indoor and outdoor track & field teams, as well as our women’s volleyball team. True student-athletes, our Seawolves maintained a 3.17 GPA last year across all teams, while producing three conference titles, nine NCAA finishes, 18 All-Americans and placing 34th of 300 schools in the Learfield Sports Director’s Cup rankings. In September 2014, Seawolf Athletics cut the ribbon on its new home, the Alaska Airlines Center, a stateof-the-art 196,000-square-foot sporting event, training, sports medicine, special event and performance venue that is shared by the Anchorage community. The AAC is the new home for the GCI Great Alaska Shootout and has already played host to the NCAA Div. II Women’s Basketball West Regional Championships and the MPSF Gymnastics Championships.
