WHAT IS A GRIFFIN?The Griffin is a legendary creature with the head, beak, and
wings of an eagle, the body of a lion, and occasionally, the
tail of a serpent or scorpion. Its origin lies somewhere in the
Middle East where it is found in the paintings and sculptures
of the ancient Babylonians, Assyrians, and Persians. In Greek
mythology, they took gold from the stream Arimaspias and,
neighbors of the Hyperboreans, they belonged to Zeus. The
later Romans used them for decoration and, even in Christian
times, the Griffin motif often appears. Griffins were frequently
used as gargoyles on medieval churches and buildings.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL STAFF
Dave Hammer returns for his third season as the top assistant for the Westminster women’s basketball team. He has helped the team to two 27-7 records, a conference season record of 27-1 and two NAIA national tournament quarterfinal appearances, along with back-to-back conference player of the year performers.
Hammer served as an assistant coach and player development coordinator for Salt Lake Metro, a local basketball club, from 2003 – 2009. Hammer also worked as a boys varsity assistant at East High School and Head JV Coach. Prior to taking on the role with Salt Lake Metro, Hammer served as a student assistant coach at his alma mater, Menlo College.
A graduate of Menlo College in Atherton, California, where he played two seasons under Head Coach Keith Larsen. He also played for Head Coach Norm Parrish for two seasons at the Salt Lake Community College where Hammer received the SLCC Men’s Basketball Academic Award.
At Menlo, Hammer earned his Bachelor’s degree in business management graduating Magna Cum Laude. He was on the Dean’s List every semester at Menlo and was a member of the National Honor Society in 2002.
Hammer lives in Bountiful, Utah and has one daughter Hannah (four).
Lance Barton is returning to Griffin Basketball, this time as an assistant coach with the women’s team. Barton is a former player on Westminster’s men’s team under Coach Tommy Connor. During his two years as a player, he twice earned Academic All-Conference honors and the Griffins were champions of the Frontier Conference while earning a trip to the NAIA National Championships.
Since he finished playing, Barton has been coaching either the AAU, high school or college levels. He was a graduate assistant with Westminster’s men’s program for two seasons while finishing his Bachelor’s of marketing at Westminster. This past season he was the girl’s JV coach and varsity assistant at Richfield High School in Richfield, Utah where they won the 3A state championship.
Prior to Westminster, Barton played basketball for two seasons at Everett Community College in Washington Sate which was followed by a two year LDS mission to Chicago. A native to the Seattle area, Lance graduated from Lake Stevens High School where he played football, basketball and track.
Barton says his greatest takeaway from Westminster is his wife Brittani who played volleyball as a Griffin. They have been married for four years and have a one year old son named Derek. Lance currently works in the Admissions office for Westminster and he and his family live in the Sugarhouse area.

AFFILIATIONS
The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) is a completely autonomous association currently administering programs of intercollegiate athletics for approximately 330 fully accredited colleges and universities of moderate enrollment.
The fundamental tenet of the NAIA is that intercollegiate athletics is an integral part of the total educational program of the institution. This belief is strongly reflected in the governing documents, activities and organizational structure of the Association.
Established in 1940 as the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball (NAIB), the Association expanded to include other programs in 1952. The NAIA became the first intercollegiate sports governing body to provide championship opportunities for both men andwomen when the women’s program was established on August 1, 1980.
The purpose of the NAIA is to promote education and development of students through intercollegiate athletic participation. Member institutions, although varied and diverse, share a common commitment to high standards and the principle that athletes serve as an integral part of education.
The NAIA embraces the concept of the student and recognizes the importance of the individuality of each member institution, the value of the conference and regional structure, and the benefits of membership in a national association.
The NAIA Champions of Character program is an educational outreach initiative which emphasizes the tenets of character and integrity, not only for NAIA college students, but for younger students, coaches and parents in our communities.
Coaches, parents, administrators and community partners all have a role in developing students of character. The NAIA Champions of Character program brings them training, guidelines and
behavior models to create positive environments that promote personal growth and fun sport activity.
The Frontier Conference was organized in 1935 with four of the eight existing colleges as charter members. Carroll College joined in 1938. For a 10-year period, from 1974 to 1984, the College of Great Falls, now the University of Great Falls competed in the conference. Great Falls rejoined the Frontier in 1999-2000. For a short time, MSU-Billings (then Eastern Montana College) was a member of the league.
New members in 1998-99 were Lewis-Clark State College of Lewiston, Idaho and Westminster College of Salt Lake City, Utah. This made the conference now with schools in three states.
The conference now consists of Carroll College, Eastern Oregon University (football only), University of Great Falls, Lewis-Clark State College, Montana State University-Northern, Montana Tech, University of Montana Western, Rocky Mountain College, and Westminster College.
The purpose of the Frontier Conference is to encourage, promote, sponsor and control athletic competition among participating colleges as an integral part of the total educational process. With their motto, “The Best in academics and athletics,” members compete for conference championships in football, basketball, golf, volleyball, soccer, and cross country.

Payne Gymnasium houses the newly renovated Griffins strength and athletic training facilities, auxiliary basketball court, locker rooms, and offices for men’s and women’s lacrosse and men’s soccer. Built during the term of President Herbert W. Reherd (1913–1939), it was named after the president of the Board of Trustees and manager of the local J.C. Penney Company; groundbreaking was July 1928 and dedication January 11, 1929.
Though the college worried that it was frivolous to spend money on a gymnasium, the facility, designed by architect Walter E. Ware, provided badly needed recreation for the school and groups in the entire Sugar House area. It was added to and remodeled in 1970 under President Manford Shaw (1968–1976), and has housed the basketball and volleyball programs, dances, speakers, luncheons, career fairs, orientations, and a variety of other cultural and social student events—including being the practice facility for the Utah Jazz from 1979 to May 1999.

DUMKE FIELD
Dumke Field, on the site of the Dane Hansen Stadium, was opened October 2, 1949, by college president Robert D. Steele (1939–1952). It was a gift of the George Hansen family in memory of a son and brother, Lt. Dane Hansen, Class of 1940, who lost his life in World War II. Having had seating for 1,200 attendants, the stadium had been the college soccer and activities field, commencement green, and later a paved parking facility. In fall 2005, it was transformed into a parking structure, with an elevated artificial turf athletic field on top. This facility is now the home field for the Griffins men’s and women’s soccer and men’s lacrosse teams.

WESTMINSTER COLLEGEWestminster is a nationally recognized, comprehensive liberal arts college. With a broad array of graduate and undergraduate programs, Westminster is distinguished by its unique environment for learning. Westminster prepares students for success through active and engaged learning, real world experiences, and its vibrant campus community. Westminster’s unique location, adjacent to the Rocky Mountains and to the dynamic city of Salt Lake, further enriches the college experience.
While we’re proud that Westminster is consistently ranked as a “Top Tier” college and recognized on the list of “Great Schools” by the U.S.News & World Report, and that Westminster was named “Best in the West” by the Princeton Review, we hope you’ll come to campus, whether you’re a high school student or one of our alumni, and experience the Westminster community for yourself.
ACADEMICSWestminster offers more than 70 academic programs, including 34 majors, from accounting and international business to nursing and sociology. The most popular majors are business, nursing, psychology, and education. In addition, the college offers a variety of minors and 10 graduate programs. About 95 percent of the students go to graduate school or are employed within six months of graduation. The nursing program has a 100 percent placement rate. In addition to Westminster’s successful outcomes, a Utah Foundation study found that Westminster graduates have among the highest starting salaries of any university graduates in the state. These high starting salaries were attributed in part to the fact that nearly 70 percent of students complete an internship before they graduate.
Students choose Westminster College for many reasons, including our intense focus on individual students and their learning, the combination of liberal education and professional studies, our active learning experiences, dynamic campus environment, and the real world experiences we offer to ensure that our students are prepared to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
HISTORYWestminster College has played a pivotal role in the educational heritage of the intermountain area. Founded in 1875 as the Salt Lake Collegiate Institute, a preparatory school, Westminster first offered college classes in 1897 as Sheldon Jackson College. Named in honor of its primary benefactor, Sheldon Jackson, the college operated for many years on the Collegiate Institute campus in downtown Salt lake City. Gradually the institute became identified as the college preparatory department, and high school classes continued to be an integral part of the curriculum until 1945. In 1902, college trustees adopted the new name, Westminster. Moving to its present location in 1911, Westminster became the first accredited two-year junior college in the intermountain area. In 1935 Westminster modified its curriculum to qualify as a four-year junior college and in 1949 became a four-year liberal arts institution offering baccalaureate degrees in the arts and sciences.
Today Westminster exists as a fully independent, privately funded, nondenominational, comprehensive liberal arts institution of higher learning with selected graduate programs, meeting the West’s educational needs as it has since 1875.

It’s your heart. The engine that
won’t quit. Not here. Not now.
It’s what drives you from the first
moment of the game to the final
screaming second. Because
when you’re an athlete, you live
for play. Student-athletes in NAIA
colleges and universities across
the country play their hearts out
every time they put on their school
colors and step up to compete.
They are part of an
organization that understands an
athlete’s need to dig deep, to bond
and to go beyond. That same
drive is at the heart of the NAIA,
where the sweat never dries, the
turf is still shredded, and the court
is always scuffed with a thousand
sole marks.
Hear that pounding?
