Rob OLIVERPRESIDENT

When the Board of Trustees announced its decision to hire Robert C. Oliver as Augustana's twenty-third president, the campus and SiouxFalls communities' response was predictably and overwhelmingly positive. Oliver was no stranger to either community, and his leadership andpassion for life and learning are hallmarks of his career.

Born in Dayton, Ohio, Oliver attended public schools and entered the University of South Dakota in 1971. He obtained a bachelor’s in eco-nomics in 1975 and, while employed by Norwest Bank in Rapid City, began coursework to receive his master’s of business administration in1977.

As Norwest Bank completed its transition to becoming Wells Fargo & Co., Oliver continued his progression through a variety of positionswith the firm. He has experience as a personal banker and commercial banker and became manager of the business banking department inSioux Falls. In 1987, Oliver was named president of the Sioux Falls market banks. He expanded the operations of the then Norwest Bankfranchise in Sioux Falls to include 16 locations. In 1999, he was named southeast district president, responsible for 27 banking locations in 13communities in southeast South Dakota and southwest Minnesota.

Oliver’s "free time" during his years at the bank included coursework at The Stonier Graduate School of Banking. He taught classes for the USD School of Business, both intheir undergraduate and MBA programs in Sioux Falls. He also taught for the American Institute of Banking and the Institute for Financial Education.

Believing that service to one's community is as important as one's career, Oliver became well-known throughout the area as a model board member and volunteer. His area in-volvement has included the Avera McKennan Hospital Board of Trustees (chair), Augustana Board of Regents (former chair), Board of Directors of Avera Heart Hospital ofSouth Dakota (member), Communication Services for the Deaf (board member), Sioux Empire United Way Board (former chair) and Volunteers of America (board member).Additionally, Oliver has served Forward Sioux Falls, Sioux Falls Development Foundation, Main Street Sioux Falls, YMCA, Threshold Youth Services, the Civic Fine Arts Cen-ter and Sioux Empire Red Cross. He is a member of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church.

Oliver retired from banking in 2004 and joined the Augustana faculty as an associate professor and chair of the department of business administration. While his tenure withinthe department was brief, his dedication to students and excellence in the classroom were soon well-known.

Oliver and his wife, Angela, are the parents of two daughters, Laura Oliver and Andrea Cammilleri.

Bill GROSSDIRECTOROFATHLETICS

Augustana’s athletic department has flourished under the direction of Bill Gross.

From facilities to execution on the playing field, Augustana has gained national recognition under Gross’ guidance. The Vikings began com-petition in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference in 2008 and in just three seasons claimed its first U.S. Bank/NSIC All-Sports Cham-pionship. This award recognizes the NSIC program with the most success each year.

Augustana claimed the U.S. Bank/NSIC title for the second straight season in 2011-12. Under the direction of Gross, Augustana finished inthe top-five in the nation in the Learfield Sports Director's Cup standings for the second consecutive season.

Viking 2012 Football Preview, by Bruce Conley

Augustana came away from the 2011 football campaignwith a list of “what ifs.”

The Vikings were 6-5 overall, 6-4 in the Northern SunIntercollegiate Conference, and 4-2 in the NSIC’s SouthDivision. The five losses came by a combined 24 points.A mere six points determined the outcome of threegames.

On the upside, the Vikings produced a fourth consecu-tive winning season. And Coach Mike Aldrich’s team ral-lied from a 0-3 start to win six of the last eight games.

Plugging holes in the offensive line and defensive sec-ondary were priorities in spring drills. Role players in2011 are ready to step up, and a talented recruiting classcould provide immediate assistance.

“I am very excited about 2012 and this year’s team,” saidAldrich. “When you have the type of leadership and ex-perience going into the year like we do, combined witha ton of athletic talent, there is so much confidencewithin the program.”

OffenseCertainly the Vikings have the firepower to move thechains. Among the weapons offensive coordinator SteveOlinger has in the Augustana arsenal include the toppasser and rusher from 2011 along with two of the lead-ing four receivers.

Quarterback Josh Hanson (6-1, 185) will be directing theoffense for the third season. He was an All-NSIC hon-orable mention choice a year ago after completing 61percent of his passes for 2,640 yards and 18 touchdowns.

Running back Dajon Newell (5-10, 185) saw no action inthe first two games of 2011 before becoming theVikings’ workhorse at running back. A second team All-NSIC choice, he rushed for 887 yards, averaged fiveyards a carry, and scored seven touchdowns. His contri-butions to the aerial assault included 23 catches, 171yards, and a touchdown.

Grant Gebhardt (6-0, 175) and Ben Parsley (6-3, 195),both honorable mention all-conference picks in 2011,finished the season as the third and fourth-leading re-ceivers, respectively. Together they accounted for 61catches, 780 yards, and seven touchdowns. Bolsteringboth the receiving corps and offensive line is tight end

Isaac Jorgensen (6-5, 260). A first team All-NSIC choicea year ago, Jorgensen logged 14 receptions for 177 yardsand two touchdowns. His blocking ability helped theViking offense average 380 yards a game.

Five of the top six scorers from 2011 are back and led bykicker and second team all-conference pick DrewBehrens’ 70 points. Newell was second (48), fullback PhilUecker (6-1, 230) fourth (36), Gebhardt fifth (30), andParsley sixth (20).

Left guard Bo Adams (6-2, 280) is the most experiencedof the returning linemen with 10 starts last fall. A yearago Tom Ries (6-2, 275) and Nick Pappas (6-3, 275)shared duties at center, but Ries has been moved to lefttackle for 2012. Trevor Houser (6-4, 290) appeared inseven games last season and is the projected starter atright tackle. Bruce Manz (6-3, 300) moves from the de-fensive line to right guard.

Offensive linemen were a recruiting priority for 2012 andthe new class includes Mac James (6-1, 295), Sam Lee (6-5, 300), Chris Mathieu (6-3, 300), and Patrick Tomlin (6-3, 300).

DefenseA year ago the Vikings were second in total defense inthe NSIC and return a tested front line. Both defensiveends, Jason Engstrom (6-3, 282) and Joel Slinden (6-3,250), started all 11 games at end. Aaron Jung (6-2, 255)was a fixture at nose guard and earned the Twisted MetalAward for his efforts during spring practice.

The linebacking corps is solid, led by Austin Luecke (6-1, 225), who earned All-NSIC first team honors and waschosen to the Daktronics All-Super Region Three sec-ond team. He led the Vikings in tackles (107), with 10stops resulting in losses. In addition, he forced two fum-bles, broke up four passes, intercepted a pass, andblocked a kick. Luecke earned NSIC South Division Pre-season Player of the year honors as well as being namedto the Beyond Sports College Network’s 2012 preseasonAll-America second team.

Ross Peterson (6-1, 234) was the second leading tackler(84), including 4.5 for losses. Keith Newman (6-3, 230)started all 11 games and posted 39 tackles to go alongwith an interception and three breakups.

Some savvy defenders are missing in the secondary butexperienced players are ready to step up. Devon Alber(5-11, 175) started 11 games last fall and registered 25

tackles. Thomas Vanasek (6-1, 195) started two games,appeared in nine and logged 23 tackles. Sean Kelley (5-10, 160) saw action in 10 games and picked off a pass togo along with 22 tackles. Chris Lucido (5-11, 185) hadone start in 2011 before suffering a season-ending injury.Anthony Tucker (6-1,195) played in nine games and wasthe starter at free safety during spring drills.

Special teamsBehrens (6-3, 195) returns for a fourth season as theVikings’ primary field goal kicker. It will be his third sea-son as punter. He has appeared in 35 consecutive games,scored 198 career points, and has been successful on 56.5percent of his field goal attempts. He holds Augustanaseason records for most consecutive kicks (42) and fieldgoals (27). He owns single-game records for field goalsmade (5) and points scored by kicking (16). His careerpunting average is 40.2 yards per attempt.

Gebhardt led the Vikings in both punt and kickoff re-turns in 2011. He returned 17 punts for 105 yards, and18 kickoffs for 491 yards and a touchdown.

“Our senior leaders have experienced a lot of successduring their careers, our young players are very skilled,our coaching staff is great, and the support and leader-ship from the College is second to none,’ Aldrich said.“The 2012 season is going to be very fun.”

From its modest origin as a six-team alliance nearly eight decades ago, the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference has ma-tured into a 16-team union of upper Midwest colleges and universities to form arguably the strongest affiliation in NCAADivision II. The NSIC can trace its roots to 1932 when six schools, including Bemidji State University, Minnesota State Uni-versity, Mankato, Minnesota State University Moorhead, St. Cloud State University, University of Minnesota Duluth andWinona State University signed on as charter members. All remain active subscribers of the league today.

Southwest Minnesota State University was added in 1969, followed by Northern State University in 1978, Wayne State Col-lege (NE) in 1998, Concordia University-St. Paul and the University of Minnesota, Crookston in 1999, the University ofMary and Upper Iowa University in 2006, Augustana College in 2008 and Minot State University and the University of SiouxFalls in 2012.

Minnesota State, St. Cloud State and Minnesota Duluth later left the league to join the North Central Conference but returned to the NSIC in 2008. University of Minnesota, Morris andMichigan Tech University were once part of the NSIC family as well.

In 1992 the NSIC became a true athletic showcase for both men and women with the merger of the traditional Northern Intercollegiate Conference (NIC) and the Northern Sun Confer-ence (NSC), the home of women’s athletics since 1979.

Before NSIC affiliates became certified for championship competition in the National Collegiate Athletic Association in 1995, its member institutions filled prominent roles in the NationalAssociation of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). NIC and NSC clubs annually dispatched qualified student-athletes to national tournaments and captured several NAIA teams and individ-ual championships.

The NSIC celebrates its 81st season this year and clearly continues to make a major imprint nationally, winning 11 national titles since 2006. Winona State men claimed NCAA II BasketballChampionships in 2006 and 2008 and narrowly missed a third crown, falling in a last second shot in 2007. In addition, the Warriors established a NCAA II record of 57 consecutive victo-ries.

Concordia University launched an ongoing streak of five consecutive NCAA II Volleyball Championships in 2007. In 2008 the Golden Bears won 37 straight matches after a season open-ing loss on their way to a second consecutive title and scripted a marvelous encore in 2009 with a perfect 37-0 finish, a third straight national crown and a winning streak of 74 straight matches.In 2010 the Golden Bear extended that win streak to 75 before dropping their second match of the season. They started 2010 with a 10-4 record before ripping off 22 straight wins on theirway to their fourth straight national title. In 2011, after overcoming midseason injuries, the Golden Bears hit their stride. The Golden Bears knocked off No. 1 and undefeated Cal State SanBernardino to become the first team in the history of NCAA Division II women’s volleyball, to captured a fifth consecutive NCAA Division II Championship.

In a most surprising run, Minnesota Duluth completed a perfect 15-0 season by winning the 2008 NCAA Division II Football Championship. The Bulldogs, limited to only 24 scholarshipsby league rule, swept a field of fully-funded teams, including top ranked Grand Valley State and number three Northwest Missouri State. Two years later in 2010 the Bulldogs repeated thatfeat, going 15-0 again to win the national championship. The Bulldogs became the first NCAA DII football squad to win two national championships with undefeated records.

Minnesota State added more luster to the league by finishing 32-2 and claiming the 2008-09 NCAA II Women’s Basketball Championship. The Mavericks rolled to a wild 103-94 victory overFranklin Pierce to set a NCAA record for total points in the title game.

Augustana College got into the mix of national championships in 2011 when their women’s cross country team turned in a true team performance in Spokane, Wash. All five Viking runnersearned All-American status as Augustana won the first cross country national championship in NSIC history.

Since 2000, the NSIC has also participated in Mineral Water Bowl. Hosted by the Quarterback Club of Excelsior Springs, Mo., the Mineral Water Bowl matches the highest-finishing teamsfrom the NSIC and the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) not selected for the NCAA Division II football playoffs. In 2000, Winona State defeated Missouri West-ern State, 43-41, in triple overtime, for the Warriors first-ever NCAA II post-season win.

The NSIC has also had five athletes awarded with the NCAA Elite 89 Award, which is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at thefinals site for each of the NCAA’s 89 championships. Earning the award were Ben Keller (Minnesota State, Baseball 2012), Cody Lensing (Augustana, Wrestling 2012), Kendra Huettl(Minnesota State, Softball, 2011), Matt Braithwaite (Augustana, Cross Country, 2010) and Lauren Brown (Winona State, Outdoor Track & Field, 2010).

Member schools continue to emphasize the educational, entertainment and unifying value of sports while pointing with pride to the many advantages to be gained by attending these col-leges and universities. The NSIC is committed to providing rewarding experiences for its student-athletes, and while the challenges that loom are sizable, indeed, the NSIC is surely well po-sitioned for the future.

The anchor of Augustana’s on-campus athletic facilities is Kirkeby-Over Stadium--one of the premiere football venues in NCAA Di-vision II.

President Rob Oliver announced in October 2007 that construc-tion of Kirkeby-Over Stadium would begin soon on the site of theVikings’ practice field at 37th Street and Lake Avenue. Throughthe generosity of Kari and Bob Hall, that dream has come tofruition and given the Vikings the on-campus facility they havebeen missing for half a century.

It was the Halls who were responsible for bringing football back tocampus at Augustana. The Halls donated $6.1 million towards theconstruction of Kirkeby-Over Stadium.

Kirkeby-Over Stadium honors the memory of Kari Hall’s fatherand mother, Percy Kirkeby and Elizabeth Markley Kirkeby-Over.

Percy Kirkeby graduated from Augustana in 1947. He was a veteranof World War II, having served with the Army Air Corps in Italy.An English major, he was a Rhodes Scholarship candidate, activein debate and speech and was the editor of the Mirror, Augustana’sstudent newspaper. He was killed in a plane crash in 1951.

Elizabeth Markley majored in sociology at Augustana and gradu-ated in 1944. She was president of the Athenian Society and was amember of the Augie debate squad. She died in 1994.

Kari Hall majored in sociology at Augustana and graduated in1969. Bob Hall attended Augustana and is currently the equipmentmanager for the football program.

Kirkeby-Over Stadium was designed by TKDA, a specialty archi-tecture and engineering based in the Twin Cities. The WinkelsGroup in Sioux Falls managed the project. The facility features aFieldTurf surface in a bowl venue with seating for approximately6,500, including 2,200 chairback seats. Fans are also able to watchthe action from grass berms in the end zones.

Luxurious suites, a spacious press box and private media boothsborder the west sideline of the stadium. The facility also boastshigh definition television monitors in each suite and plenty of con-nection options for use by media.

The new facility is Augustana’s third on-campus football venue.The College relocated to Sioux Falls in 1918 and built the first fieldin the late 1920s. It was located behind the current administrationbuilding, East Hall and Old Main.

Construction on a new stadium, complete with bleachers and pressbox, began in 1941 where the Statue of Moses and the MorrisonCommons stand today. Augustana began playing its home gamesat Howard Wood Stadium in 1958.

Kari and Bob Hall have been generous contributors to Viking ath-letics for many years. Their $1 million gift in 2005 helped build theHall Football Complex attached to the Elmen Center and near thenew Kirkeby-Over Stadium.

Bob’s father and mother, Bill and Irene Hall, were also longtimecontributors to Augustana, and their gift in the 1980s helped con-struct the Elmen Center, in which the Hall Sports Forum is namedin their honor. Bill and Irene also provided a variety of other giftsto Augustana athletics which assisted with facility upgrades andcontinue to assist with on-going annual scholarships and opera-tions. All told, the family has gifted and pledged more than $11.1million to Augustana.
