the gameday experience

The foundation of UND athletics is the unwavering passion

of Fighting Sioux fans, the nation’s best.

“I’ve never been to a place that’s more proud of its athletes and its athletics than UND.”

— Former UND All-American, 2010 United States Olympian and current New Jersey Devils star Zach Parise

strength and conditioning

missionIt is our mission to physically and mentally prepare the student-athlete for the rigors of collegiate athletics, by implementing professionally designed, scientifically sound training programs, designed specifically to reduce the incidence of injury and help each team and student-athlete reach their full athletic potential.

PHilosoPHyWe believe that strength and conditioning is crucial to the complete development of the student-athlete. The philosophy of our strength and conditioning program is based on the belief that what occurs in the weight room and field transfers to the

playing surface. We train sport specifically with the goal of enhancing athleticism. We also believe in the importance of work ethic, attitude, accountability and mental toughness and that these qualities can be developed and enhanced through our strength and conditioning program.

At the University of North Dakota, one program, functioning behind the scenes, but which should not be taken lightly, is the strength and conditioning program. The strength and conditioning program at UND is among the finest in Division I and vital to the success of all UND athletic teams. The strength and conditioning staff commits themselves to the development of size, strength, power, speed, agility, conditioning, and body composition of each student-athlete. The goal of the strength staff is to develop the athlete and team to reach their maximum potential throughout their career while staying injury free.

Nate Baukol, director of strength and conditioning, oversees the program and facilities. Baukol has three full-time assistant coaches and one graduate assistant coach to assist him.

Together they direct and monitor the training of over 500 student-athletes in 20 sports at UND. UND also boasts some of the finest strength training facilities around. The facilities include the Ralph Engelstad Arena weight room, the Memorial Stadium weight room, and the Hyslop Sports Center weight room.

Training has become a year-round activity, with a student athlete spending as much time on physical development as any other part of their sport throughout the year. Student-athletes follow either off-season or in-season programs, which are individualized specific to the athlete and sport. Off-season programs are five days a week, summer months included.

Each athlete receives a comprehensive summer training manual to follow, given that a member of the strength staff won’t be supervising them. In-season programs are typically 45-minute sessions, two to three days per week, supervised by the strength and conditioning staff.

The Fighting Sioux volleyball program trains at the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center’s Brown and Bender Performance Center, which was graciously donated by Mark Brown and David Bender during the 2005-06 season.

sports medicine

Dr. Greg GreekTeam Physician

One of the unfortunate aspects of athletics is that injuries do occur. However, every student-athlete from UND athletic teams are under excellent care thanks to the UND Divison of Sports Medicine and its umbrella of staff, facilities and training.

With a staff of nine faculty athletic trainers, two graduate assistant athletic trainers and 30 athletic training students headed by director of sports medicine Steve Westereng, UND student-athletes are in good hands, returning them quickly and safely to participation.

The UND Division of Sports Medicine was formed in 1990. Additionally, the bachelor

of science in athletic training degree and the UND Center for Sports Medicine was founded. The athletic training education program was the first program in the nation to be placed directly in a school of medicine and is housed within the Department of Family Medicine, combining the efforts of the UND Athletic Training program and the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences.

UND’s progressive thinking makes the institution a leader in the field of athletic training. Moreover, the program’s affiliation with the School of Medicine helps both the athletic training student and the student-athlete. Completion of the bachelor of science in athletic training allows the student to sit for the board of certification exam to become a certified athletic trainer (ATC).

The student-athletes also benefit from having a wealth of competent individuals getting them back into action.

In order to be accepted into the athletic training program, which received a seven-year accreditation in 2001 (note: UND will receive word in August 2008 of re-accreditation) from CAAHEP, a student must complete 100 hours of observation, fill out a formal application, and have a minimum GPA of 2.75.

The Division of Sports Medicine also has an outpatient facility, the UND Center for Sports Medicine, which specializes in rehabilitation of orthopedic injuries. UND student-athletes, as well as the general public, utilize this facility to decrease pain, increase strength, and improve range of motion of injuries. Many of the injuries seen in the Center for Sports Medicine are significant, such as pre- and post-surgical issues. The center is staffed by Cathy Ziegler, PT/ATC, and Robin Tracy, PT/ATC, who have experience with high school, college, and professional athletes.

Whether it is reading to area school children or lending their time to countless charitable organizations or providing disaster relief, UND’s student-athletes pride themselves on their community involvement and have long been looked upon as pillars within the UND and Grand Forks communities. In 2009-10 alone, UND student-athletes logged nearly 7,000 hours of community service.

university administration

Dr. Robert Kelley began serving as UND’s 11th president July 1, 2008.

He had been dean of the College of Health Sciences and professor of medical education and public health at the University of Wyoming since 1999.

Before then, he was associate vice chancellor for research and executive associate dean of the graduate college at the University of Illinois

at Chicago, and professor of biological sciences at the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and professor of anatomy and cell biology at the College of Medicine, both at the University of Illinois at Chicago. At the University of New Mexico, he served as chair of anatomy and senior executive associate dean, as well as other faculty capacities. He has also taught at the University of California, Berkeley.

Kelley earned his bachelor’s degree in biology and chemistry from Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas, in 1965, and his master’s degree in 1966 and doctorate in 1969, both in cell and developmental biology from the University of California, Berkeley.

Kelley has served as chair of the Assembly for the Association of American Medical Colleges, chaired the Council of Academic Societies for the AAMC, and was a member of the executive board of the National Board of Medical Examiners, which is responsible for the U.S. medical licensure examination. In addition, he has served the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on several study sections, served on the director’s advisory board for NIH strategic planning, and chaired the Minority Biomedical Research Support Program advisory committee in the NIH Division of Research Resources. That program helped support research for historically black universities, tribal colleges, and “minority-majority” institutions. He also served as principal investigator for the University of Wyoming/Northern Rockies INBRE (IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence), an NIH program which promotes biomedical research and connects the state’s community colleges with the University of Wyoming.

athletics director

Brian Faison is his third year as athletics director at the University of North Dakota. Faison assumed his duties at UND in May of 2008.

Faison’s first year was a busy one, leading Fighting Sioux athletics through its first year of transition to NCAA Division I status for all of its sports programs. He secured conference membership for 16 of UND’s 20 sports in the Great West Conference, restructured the athletics department and enhanced UND’s statewide profile through community outreach initiatives and an expanded Fighting Sioux Sports Network.

In Faison’s second year, student-athletes continued their tradition of academic excellence: four student-athletes were named academic All-Americans by ESPN the Magazine; two student-athletes received NCAA postgraduate scholarships; and a school-record 111 student-athletes received academic all-conference honors.

Alumni and fan support continued to grow: annual giving to the Fighting Sioux Club set another record; volleyball set a single-season attendance record; women’s hockey finished seventh in the nation in average attendance; and men’s hockey finished second in the nation in average and total attendance.

Competitively, UND teams again enjoyed outstanding seasons: volleyball, women’s basketball and softball all won Great West Conference championships; men’s hockey won the Broadmoor Trophy, the WCHA Final Five championship, and qualified for its eighth straight NCAA tournament appearance; and football enjoyed its seventh straight winning season.

Prior to joining UND, Faison served as special assistant to the president for athletics development (2004-07) and director of athletics (1999-04) at New Mexico State University. Before that, he served as the director of development for the National Children’s Cancer Society (1995-1999). Faison gained experience in Division I administration as the director of athletics at Indiana State University (1988-1995), assistant athletics director for development at the University of Louisville (1984-1988) and assistant athletics director for promotions and fund raising at Illinois State University (1979-1984). He also had stints as the assistant manager for athletic public relations at the University of Missouri (1978-1979) and assistant director for alumni activities at the University of Missouri (1974-1978).

Faison received his bachelor’s degree in 1972 from the University of Missouri and is also a 1997 graduate of the National Planned Giving Institute.

Faison and his wife, Donna, have three sons: Jonathan, Matthew and Bradley.

One of the longest-tenured coaches in the history of Sioux athletics, the 2010-11 season marks the 26th year of Dick Clay’s decorated coaching career at UND . It also marks a year of change for Clay, who has added the reigns of the men’s track and field and cross country programs after having served as women’s track and cross country head coach since 1985 .

The 2010 track and field season was a memorable one for the Sioux women, as Clay’s student-athletes set numerous school records . At the Great West Conference Indoor Championship, junior Jessica Butler won the 60-meter hurdles with a school-record time of 8 .98 seconds and led the Sioux to a third-place finish .At the GWC Outdoor Championship, Brenny was the runner-up in both the 5,000-meter and 10,000-meter runs .

Also during the outdoor season, sophomore Emily Emerson was twice named GWC Athlete of the Week . UND’s quartet of Mikaela Hirst, Paige Kuplic, Cheri Boyer and Taryn Anderson broke an 11-year old record in the 800-meter relay at the Coastal Carolina Shamrock Invitational . Several Sioux athletes also recorded times, throws and jumps that have cracked UND’s all-time top-10 lists .

Clay’s track and field team finished fourth at the 2009 GWC Outdoor Championship, highlighted by individual conference titles by Jessica Clausnitzer (pole vault) and Kristi Dahlheimer (3,000-meter steeplechase) . The Sioux also placed fourth at the 2009 GWC Indoor Championship, led by a pair of individual titles from Clausnitzer, a two-time Division II All-American, in the 60-meter hurdles and the pole vault .

A hallmark of Clay’s coaching career at UND has been academic succes, and the 2009-10 was as successful as any .

2010 cross country recap 25


It was a season of change for the Fighting Sioux cross countr team in 2010 .

Head coach Mike Grandall retired during the summer after 28 seasons at the helm of the program, handing over the reigns to longtime women’s head coach Dick Clay, himself a UND coaching veteran of more than 25 years .

Clay guided the Sioux through a consistently competitive season and a sixth-place finish at the Great West Conference Championship that was one spot higher than the preseason coaches poll had predicited .

The Sioux were paced throughout the season by senior standout Josh LaBlanc (Internation-al Falls, Minn .), who provided three top-five finishes in his five meets . LaBlanc was named GWC Athlete of the Week on Sept . 15 after fin-ishing as the runner-up at the Eastern Illinois Panther Open .

LaBlanc and the Sioux had opened the season one week earlier by hosting the annual UND Ron Pynn Invitational . Although the Sioux fell to Seattle and South Dakota State in the double dual, LaBlanc provided a fourth-place individual finish to lead the team .

After splitting duals with the host Panthers and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville at the EIU Panther Open, UND traveled to Minneapolis to compete in the prestigious Roy Griak Invita-tional, hosted by the University of Minnesota . LaBlanc was outstanding once again, charting the 8K course in 26:12 to place 96th among a field of 213 runners .

UND tuned up for the season’s final stretch the following week in Brookings, S .D ., with a dual against South Dakota State . LaBlanc shaved nearly a minute off of his previous week’s ef-fort to place fourth among 20 runners .

Following an open week, UND returned to action at the University of Arkansas’ annual Chile Pepper Festival . With the Sioux running without LaBlanc, junior Tyler Rose (Brainerd, Minn .) stepped forward to pace the squad . Rose clocked a 10K time of 32:41 .47, placing him 177th in a field of 463 runners .

The Sioux were led by a new face at the 2010 GWC Championship . Junior Adam Stainiger (Chisholm, Minn .), who transfered from Gar-den City (Kan .) Community College prior to the season, placed 19th at his first Division I conference meet .

After the season, both LaBlanc (electrical en-gineering) and Rose (biology and pre-health) were named to the 2010 GWC Fall All-Aca-demic team, which recognizes those with a mimimum cumulative grade point average of 3 .2 and who contribute significantly to his team’s success .

28 2011 track & field preview


Dick Clay takes over the reigns of the men’s track and field program for the first time in 2011, and inherits a talented roster that boasts an intriguing mix of upperclassmen and un-derlcassmen .

The roster includes only three seniors and three juniors, compared to 12 freshmen and five sophomores . However, two of those three seniors are defending Great West Conference champions in their respective events .

The incoming freshman class is heavy on both quantity and quality, which should ensure Clay and the Sioux will field a team that will be highly competitive in 2011 .

THROWSAn undeniable strength of the 2011 Sioux will be the team’s group of throwers, which includes the likes of Great West Conference champions Creighton Schroyer (Sr ., Pipe-stone, Minn .) and Brandon Quesenberry (Sr ., Billings, Mont .) .

Last season, Schroyer won his second straight conference championship in the indoor shot put, while Quesenberry captured outdoor shot put crown .

The senior duo heads up an impressive group that will also include talented freshmen Shawn Johnson (Eveleth, Minn .) and Roman Waldera (Minot, N .D .) .

DISTANCE/mID-DISTANCEUND boasts a deep corps of distance runners, headed by senior Josh LaBlanc (International Falls, Minn .), and juniors Tyler Rose (Brain-erd, Minn .) and Adam Stainiger (Chisholm, Minn .) .

LaBlanc put together a standout junior season in 2010, setting school indoor records in both the 3,000-meters (8:33 .46) and the distance medley relay (10:14 .40) . LaBlanc, a previous All-GWC Cross Country performer, went on to take runner-up honors in the 3,000-meters at the 2010 GWC Championship .

Rose was also a member of the record-setting distance medley relay, and also scored for the Sioux in the 1,500-meters at the GWC Outdoor Championship .

Stainiger, who transferred to UND from Garden City (Kan .) Community College, was UND’s top finisher at the GWC Cross Country Champion-ship last fall .

Other distance runners in the mix include sophomore David Niday (Richfield, Minn .) and freshmen Jerrod Braam (Pequot Lakes, Minn .), James Dean (Brainerd, Minn .), Kyle Economy (Victoria, Minn .), Chris Knutson (Brainerd, Minn .), Dwight mandimika (Hara-re, Zimbabwe) and Ross Nelson (Apple Valley, Minn .) .

In the mid-distance events, sophomore Chris Benson (Devils Lake, N .D .) and freshmen Kent Luetzen (Minot, N .D .) and Jesse Fenster-macher (Hibbing, Minn .) will asked to be key contributors .

SPRINTSJunior Chris Stoks (Virginia, Minn .) will an-chor the team’s group of sprinters after being named the UND’s Most Valuable Runner as a sophomore in 2010 . Stoks nabbed top-six fin-ishes in the 400-meter dash and 4x100-meter relay at the GWC Outdoor Championship, and the 400-meters at the GWC Indoor Champion-ship .

Sophomore Shawn Reich (Grand Forks, N .D .) and freshmen Reilly mathiason (Grafton, N .D .) and Jordan Fisk (Langdon, N .D .) will also provide solid depth .

JUmPS/HURDLESSophomore Bryant Halvorson (Rugby, N .D .) is coming off of an outstanding freshman campaign in which he was named UND’s Rookie of the Year . He placed seventh in the long jump at both the GWC Indoor and Out-door Championships, and looks to build on his performance .

Freshman matthew Harris (Sidney, Mont .) looks to make an immediate impact in the pole vault, while sophomore matthew mc-Creary (Grand Forks, N .D .) will be in the hur-dles mix .

Senior Brandon Quesenberry is the defending Great West outdoor shot put champion.

Chris Stoks was named UND’s Most Valuable Runner as a sophomore in 2010.

Senior Josh LaBlanc broke a pair of indoor school records in 2010.

great west conference 37


The Great West Conference is made up of 10 intercollegiate in-stitutions that range geographi-cally from New Jersey to Texas to California . The 10 member schools are spread out over seven states and four time zones, giving each school added exposure - both in terms of media and recruiting - in new destinations .The conference affiliation also generates much interest within the 10 institutions’ substantial alumni base .

The conference, which began as a football-only league, took a giant leap in the collegiate athletic world when the conference expanded to include several addi-tional sports and several new members .

Joining the league on July 10, 2008 were Houston Baptist University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, University of North Dakota, University of South Dakota, Texas-Pan American and Utah Valley University . Chicago State accepted the league’s invitation to join in October, 2008 . These seven schools joined football only members Cal Poly, UC Davis and Southern Utah University to make up the 10-member league .

In addition to football, championships conducted during the 2008-09 academic year were men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track and field, and men’s and women’s golf . Team sports in baseball, basketball, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball begin league play in 2009-10 .

As the conference began planning for multi-team sport competition in 2009-10, several teams were added in the sports of women’s soccer and baseball to help provide a more diverse and competitive field . Delaware State, Howard and South Carolina State joined as associate members in women’s soccer, giving the Great West two, four-team divisions . The associate members, plus NJIT, make up the Eastern Division, while North Dakota, South Dakota, Houston Baptist and Utah Valley play in the West . Northern Colorado and New York Institute of Technology joined as associate members in baseball, giving the Great West eight play-ing members . Seattle University was added as an associate member in cross country and track and field in 2009 .

Officially announced Feb . 25, 2004, charter members of the Great West Football Conference were California Polytechnic State University; Uni-versity of California, Davis; North Dakota State University; University of Northern Colorado; South Dakota State University; and Southern Utah University . Conference competition began on Sept . 4, 2004 with UC Davis scoring a 52-0 win over South Dakota State and Northern Colorado notching a 15-13 win over North Dakota State .

The Great West continues its proud tradition in football and has been rated as one of the best in Football Championship Subdivision and ahead of Football Bowl Subdivision leagues such as the Mid-American Conference and the Sun Belt .

The Great West Conference recognizes student-athletes on both a weekly and full-season basis . Individual awards include players of the week; all-conference teams; an academic all-conference team; and player, newcomer and coach of the year awards . The league also crowns team champions for both regular season and post-season competition .

The governance of the Great West Conference remains primarily with the member institutions . Each member institution is represented on the President’s Council by its respective CEO . The general opera-tions and management of the Conference will be conducted by the directors of athletics and senior woman administrators (Joint Council) . Scheduling of contests, assignment of officials and certain media rela-tions functions remain with member institutions .

UND President Dr. Robert Kelley (left) and director of athletics Brian Faison announced UND’s membership into the Great West Conference in July of 2008.

By Jackie DeMolee, UND Athletics

Ron Pynn was an educator at the University of North Dakota for 29 years in political science, but he didn’t only shape the minds of students in the classroom . He has projected his love for track and field and cross country onto the programs at UND . Pynn has been a long time supporter of cross country and track

and field .

The Ron Pynn Invitational, UND’s annual cross country meet, was established in 2002 to honor Pynn for his many contributions to the teams, including travel-ling with the teams for support, working events and financially supporting the program . He said that he’s always had a passion for the sport and the student-athletes involved .

“It [running] takes a special brand of discipline,” said Pynn . “What drives them

[athletes] to run drives them to succeed in other areas of their life .”

This is only one of the many reasons Pynn feels so passionate about the program at UND .

“It’s been exciting each and every year,” said longtime UND men’s cross country and track and field head coach Mike Grandall, who retired fol-lowing the 2009-10 season . “It’s great to have him back .”

Pynn uses the Invitational as an opportunity to visit the University and friends .

“I think the world of the coaches,” he said . “The way they treat the ath-letes, but not just as UND athletes, but as students too .”

Pynn currently resides in Burlington, Vt ., but makes the trek back to UND each year for the Invitational .

Ray Richards Golf Course is home to the Ron Pynn Invitational . The course is set up as a 5K for women and 8K for men, providing a challenging route well-known in the Upper Midwest .

The Division I transition has changed the Invitational somewhat, but it doesn’t change the meaning behind the name of the event or how important the event is to the head coaches of the men’s and women’s cross country teams and Pynn .
