Creighton Baseball • Ten NCAA Postseason Appearances 1 TD Ameritrade Park Omaha

A New Place to Call Home... After more than 20 years of calling the CU Sports Complex home, the Creighton baseball team moved into a new facility in 2011. TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, located just a mile east of the CU Sports Complex, serves as the permanent home of the Creighton baseball team.

The $128 million facility can hold more than 24,000 spectators. TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, which sits just one block northwest of the home of Creighton men’s basketball - CenturyLink Center Omaha - also serves as the home for the Division I NCAA Men’s College until at least 2035, as well as the host of various concerts and other community engagement events.

Designed with the fans in mind, TD Ameritrade Park Omaha has a 360-degee continuous walkway on the concourse level, with both permanent and portable concession stands lining the concourse. There is 36 inches of leg room between seats, turning the sta- “The cool thing about it [the stadium] is that it’s completely dium into a bowl while eliminating the stacking effect sacred to college baseball.” - Vanderbilt Head Coach Tim Corbin that happens in many stadiums today. Club seating for 2,500 members and access to three, full-service food stations draw many groups and parties to the facility. The entire facility is accessible to people with disabilities and seating inside the stadium meets ADA standards.

Both the media and the athletes who make their way to TD Ameritrade Park Omaha discover it is second to none. The playing surface was completely leveled out, with a top-of-the-line draining system as well as heating features to ensure play in any type of weather. The dirt base paths and grass infield and outfield give the ball a natural bounce. Full-size dugouts down each line, complete with media pits, allow enough space for athletes and media to work side by side. Tunnels take players to cov- ered batting cages and warm-up tunnels, followed by full locker rooms, complete with coaches suites and training rooms just off the showers that provide the best amenities for all involved. “The inside of the stadium is amazing, but I think we all thought it would be This and That... that way.

A media interview room as well as a work room under the stadium provides work- ing media a location to quickly edit and send out information through cables and internet functions built into the stadium. A three-tier working press box allows for plenty of seating come tournament time, with additional work cubicles located just behind the main seating. Five individual radio booths as well as the center television bay - complete with fully opening windows - gives all media members access to the angle they wish to cover for the game.

The Bluejays broke in the new facility on April 19, 2011, with a game against in-state rival Nebraska. Although it was a blustery night, more than 22,000 fans braved the weather to come out and get the first views at Omaha’s newest attrac- tion. The Bluejays averaged nearly 7,200 fans for the remainder of the 2011 home schedule, finishing eighth in the NCAA in overall home attendance. The numbers didn’t disappoint once the came to town, as 321,684 fans came through the turnstiles of TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, averaging just under 23,000 fans per session.

Creighton Baseball • Ten NCAA Postseason Appearances 3 Rasmussen Fitness & Sports Center The Rasmussen Fitness & Sports Center, a 50,000-square-foot building offering a multipurpose field house with synthetic turf for athletic team practices and intramural sports, was officially opened on Oct. 23, 2012. In addition to the indoor practice area, the Rasmussen Fitness & Sports Center offers a suspended two-lane running track and a fitness level furnished with cardio, circuit-training and free-weight equipment for all Creighton students, faculty and staff.

Named for Creighton Director of Athletics Bruce Rasmussen, the facility was made possible by generous gifts from Ruth and Bill Scott as well as several other donors. Ruth and Bill Scott have been long-time supporters and friends of Creighton University. In 1995 the Scotts established a schol- arship for international students who enrolled in the School of Medicine. The Nebraska natives have deep roots in the Omaha community and since the 1990’s have donated generously to more than 100 different organizations.

Exercise is part of Bill Scott’s daily routine. “Several years ago I was severely injured in a fall. This experience and my subsequent recovery Creighton Athletic Director Bruce Rasmussen (middle) with Bill and Ruth Scott reinforced the importance of health and wellness activities for everyone, at the opening of the Rasmussen Fitness & Sports Center no matter what your age. This convenient facility will be a visible remind- er, for all students, faculty and staff, of the investment Creighton makes in the whole person -- mind, body and spirit. And I can’t think of a finer person than Bruce Rasmussen to honor with this legacy,” said Bill Scott.

Rasmussen has been with Creighton for 34 years, the last 20 years as ath- letic director. During his tenure, Creighton’s athletic teams have risen to national prominence both on and off the field. Since Rasmussen assumed the role of athletic director, Creighton has won 29 regular-season and 36 conference tournament titles, which have helped lead to 60 postseason appearances. The Bluejays were the only school in the 107-year history of the Missouri Valley Conference to make 16 straight men’s basketball postseasons, and have made the NCAA Tourney in men’s soccer in 20 of the past 21 years.

Creighton’s reputation as one of the nation’s top academic institutions is reflected in the success Bluejay student-athletes have had in the classroom during Rasmussen’s service as athletics director. Creighton’s baseball, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, women’s soccer and men’s and women’s ten- nis teams all have received national awards for their academic success. Bluejay student-athletes consistently own collective GPAs of 3.25 or above. Rasmussen was inducted into the Omaha Sports Hall of Fame in 2008. A member of the College World Series of Omaha, Inc., Executive Committee, Rasmussen played a vital role in seeing that Creighton and the city of Omaha remain as hosts of the College World Series.

In his two years with the Privateers, he became the only pitcher in UNO history to throw a nine inning no-hitter when he accomplished the feat against 19th-ranked Southern Mississippi. He also became the fourth pitcher in New Orleans history to record over 100 strikeouts in a season. He continued his playing career moving on to the San Diego Padres organization, spending time with three different farm teams. He was traded into the Houston Astros organization in 2004, playing with the Salem Avalanche before concluding his playing career with a two-year stint with the Sioux City Explorers in 2005-06.

Lipari and his wife, the former Rebecca Blackman, are both original- ly from Omaha, Neb.

Servais on Lipari: “Tom might have had the most difficult job of anybody last year. He was new to the program and eight of his top 11 pitchers were freshmen. Tom is very patient, I think that helped the players adapt to his style and personality well through- out the year. His effect is obvious as you can see a lot of improvement on the mound last season and I believe that will only continue this season.”

Opening the season with just two pitchers on the roster with more than four innings of experience, the Bluejays could have easily accepted 2013 as a “rebuilding year.” That, however, is simply not Ed Servais’ Baseball. Returning for his 10th season at the helm, Servais challenged his young team in the same manner he has challenged every team. Play baseball the right way with a focus on defense, and the wins will sort themselves out.

“The reason we believe so much in defense and the execution of the game of baseball is because that is what wins tournaments, that’s what helps you win one-run games. One or two runs decide almost half of our games, so you’d better be good defensively if you want to win those games,” said Servais.

Heeding their coach’s mantra, the Bluejays opened 2013 with a difficult three game series at Dallas Baptist. Down 8-4 entering the eighth in game one, the Bluejays showed the type of team they’d be with seven runs in the final two frames to claim an 11-9 win. Creighton went on to sweep the Patriots with 15-6 and 3-1 wins in the final two contests. Senior Alex Staehely (left) was a force for the Bluejays in the three vic- tories over Dallas Baptist, delivering six RBI and a .538 average over the three games.

Weather derailed the Bluejays hot start a bit as Creighton did not play from Feb. 17 to March 1. Finally back on the field, the Bluejays dropped two of three to BYU, but rebounded to take two of three at the Austin Peay Tournament. Midweek victories over SE Missouri State (17-2) and North Dakota (4-1) gave the Bluejays an 8-3 mark as Creighton opened the home schedule at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha against Uni- versity of the Pacific.

Freshman Tommy Strunc solidified himself as the Bluejay ace against the Tigers, throwing 7.1 innings of no-hit ball as Creighton downed Pacific 7-2. Creighton took the series from Pacific two games to one, then did the same at Evansville and claimed a three-game set with Omaha as well to move to 14-6 as the month of March came to an end.

April began just as pleasantly with a win at Kansas followed by a three-game sweep of Bradley, but Creighton found its first bit of adversity with three straight losses at Indiana State from April 12-14. The response was the season’s longest winning streak, six straight.

Another victory over Kansas got the Bluejays rolling, followed by a sweep of Southern Illinois. The Bluejays opened the TD Ameritrade Classic with a 5-3 win over rival Nebraska, then came from behind to upend Rutgers 3-2 in 11 innings. A 6-5 loss to Oklahoma State prevented the Bluejays from claiming the tournament championship, but Creighton appeared to be back on track.

Unfortunately the Bluejays were unable to keep up the torrid pace as cleanup hitter Mike Gerber was forced to the sidelines by an appendectomy prior to the game with the Huskers. Despite a spirited effort, the Bluejays dropped five of the next nine contests to ap- proach the final weekend with Missouri State at 28-15.

The Bluejays bested the Bears twice in the final series to finish their final season in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) in third place at 30-16 overall and 13-8 in MVC play. The Bluejays MVC Tournament magic over the past two seasons did not carry over as Creighton dropped consecutive games to Indiana State and Wichita State to bring the 2013 campaign to a close.

With a total of eight four-team districts, the 1973 NCAA Tournament May 29, 1973 Oral Roberts 11, Creighton 4 Tulsa, Okla. consisted of 32 teams. There were a total of 216 Division I teams at that time.

1973 Major League Baseball June Draft Led by coach Dave Baker, the Bluejays picked up regular-season wins over 39th Rd. (715) Jim Lemon, 2B Kansas State, Nebraska, Arkansas and Iowa State. In the District Five Playoffs, Creighton lost its opening game to Oklahoma, who would advance to the Col- lege World Series and was eliminated by Oral Roberts.

Sophomore pitcher Ernie Rongish led Creighton with a 6-3 record as a starter, earning second-team Academic All-America honors. Freshman Gary McCabe led the team with a 1.38 ERA and 64 strikeouts. Junior left-hander Jim Roach appeared in a team-high 13 games.

Offensively, senior co-captain Jim Lemon was the team’s most productive play- er, compiling 42 hits in 142 at-bats for a .296 batting average. The centerfield- er also tied for the team-lead with nine stolen bases and would be drafted in the 39th round of the June 1973 MLB Draft by the Kansas City Royals. Senior shortstop Steve Naval, also a co-captain on the 1973 squad, led the team with five home runs and 10 doubles. Sophomore first baseman Ron Thornam paced Creighton with 23 RBI.

(1172) Ryan Martindale, OF St. Louis Cardinals picked up their first-ever NCAA Tournament win over Clemson in the opener. After a 6-3 loss to eventual CWS qualifier Cal State Fullerton, Creighton came back to defeat Clem- son for the second time the next day. The dream of reaching the CWS ended, however, with an 11-9 loss to the host Texas Longhorns.

The team’s 48 wins were a school-record at that time, as head coach Jim Hendry directed the squad to the NCAA Tournament in his sixth full season. Hendry would go on to coach only one more season, before making the jump to professional baseball where he currently serves as a special assistant scout for the New York Yankees.

Individual accolades went hand-in-hand with the team’s success. Junior left-handed pitcher Dan Smith was named the MVC Pitcher of the Year after leading the league with a 14-3 record and a then-school-record 1.96 ERA. Smith recorded 12 complete games, five shutouts and 134 strikeouts as a junior before being selected in the first round (16th pick) of the 1990 MLB Draft by the Texas Rangers. He received first-team All-America honors from both Baseball America and the ABCA following the season, as well as First Team All-MVC laurels.

Joining Smith on the All-MVC First Team were junior outfielder John Pivovar and sophomore Scott Stahoviak. Pivovar hit .339 in 61 starts, tallying 11 doubles, four triples, five home runs and 35 RBI, to go along with a .988 fielding percentage. Stahoviak led the team in nearly every offensive category, including MVC-best totals with a .417 batting average, 95 hits and 25 doubles. His .561 on-base percentage would be a school record until he bettered the mark the following season and his batting average and doubles total still rank among the top-five at Creighton.

Stahoviak was also voted onto the All-Regional Team at first base, after batting 9-for-16 in Creighton’s four postseason games. Joining Stahoviak on the team was fellow sophomore Steve Hinton, who was selected for his play in left field. Hinton picked up six hits, scored five runs and drove in four during Regional play.

Junior Steve Bruns, the potential game-tying run, was thrown out June 4, 1991 Creighton 13, Long Beach State 4 Omaha, Neb. at home plate in the bottom of the 12th to squash the Bluejays’ hopes. In an elimination June 6, 1991 Wichita State 11, Creighton 3 Omaha, Neb. game, Creighton responded to rock Long Beach State, 13-4, to earn one more shot at the Shockers.

Individually, junior Scott Stahoviak became the program’s first Na- tional Player of the Year, earning the award from the American Base- ball Coaches Association. Also named the MVC Player of the Year and a first-team All-American, Stahoviak led the Bluejays with an incredible .449 batting average. He also set school records with 120 hits, 87 runs, 199 total bases and a .600 on-base percentage.

On the mound, senior Mike Heathcott turned in a season for the ages, winning a school-record 15 games and logging a Creighton-best 132 innings of work to earn second-team All-America accolades from Col- legiate Baseball. Joining Stahoviak and Heathcott on the All-MVC First Team were junior centerfielder Dax Jones and designated hitter Steve Hinton. Jones still holds the Creighton single-season record with 11 triples, while Hinton is the record-holder with 278 at-bats and 90 RBI.

Six other Bluejays were named to the second-team all-Valley squad and a total of six players from the 1991 team went on to play in the major leagues: Stahoviak, Jones, Heathcott, sophomore Chad McConnell and freshmen Alan Benes and Kimera Bartee. Head coach Jim Hendry left the program following the season to take a position with the expansion Florida Marlins.

Creighton finished second behind nemesis Wichita State in the MVC standings and received an at-large bid to the NCAA Central Regional in Austin, Texas. After defeating the University of Texas-Arlington in their regional opener, the Bluejays lost two close games to Long Beach State and Virginia Commonwealth to end hopes of a second straight trip to Rosenblatt Stadium and the CWS. MVC Pitcher of the Year MVC Player of the Year Alan Benes Chad McConnell The Bluejays swept the player of the year awards in the conference, as junior rightfielder Chad McConnell was named the MVC Player of the Year and sophomore right-hander Alan Ben- es was tabbed the MVC Pitcher of the Year. McConnell also captured first-team All-America hon- ors as he batted .400 with 14 home runs and an MVC-best 73 RBI. He went on to play on the 1992 U.S. Olympic team and was drafted in the first round of the 1992 MLB Draft by the Philadelphia Phillies. Benes fin- ished the season 11-3 with nine complete games, 110 strikeouts and a 3.14 ERA. He would go on to play eight major league seasons, six for the St. Louis Cardinals, and now works in the team’s front office.

Joining McConnell and Benes on the All-MVC First Team was senior designated hitter Bob Langer. Langer remains third on Creighton’s career doubles list, with 61. Catcher Brian Davidson, utili- ty man Kimera Bartee and outfielder Rick Freehling earned Second Team All-MVC honors. Curiously missing from MVC postseason recognition were pitchers Brian O’Brien and Rick Heiserman. O’Brien, a sophomore left-handed middle reliever, finished 10-1 to lead the MVC in winning percentage at .909. Heiserman, a freshman right-handed reliever, tied for the MVC lead with future Major Leaguer Darren Drei- fort of Wichita State with 12 saves. Heiserman did land on Collegiate Baseball’s Freshman All-American team. A total of 14 players from the 1992 team went on to play professionally, including Bartee, Benes, McConnell Kimera Bartee Rick Freehling and Heiserman, who went on to play in the Major Leagues.

Creighton was led by do-it-all senior transfer Peyton Lewis, who used his final year of eligibility after transferring from NAIA Midland University. He was named the MVC Pitcher and Newcomer of the Year after MVC Pitcher of the Year and All-American posting a 10-1 record on the mound with a 3.30 ERA in 17 appearances, striking out 114 batters in 103.2 innings Peyton Lewis of work.

The season ended with two close losses to Miami (Ohio) and eventual College World Series qualifier Texas at the Tempe Regional, concluding with a 38-23 record.

Among the bright spots of the season were 15 wins against NCAA Tournament teams in the first 25 games, a 4-1 record against MVC champ Wichita State and a crowd of 15,436 fans for the Nebraska game at Scott Allen Rosenblatt Stadium, the fourth-largest in NCAA history at the time.

Creighton was led by senior utility man Vince Pietro and sophomore leadoff hitter Chris Hinrichs, the team’s two First Team All-MVC picks. Both starters in all 61 games, Pietro hit .333 with a team-best 80 hits while Hin- richs posted team-best totals with 20 doubles, 55 runs and 20 stolen bases. Junior outfielder Eric Brown led the squad with 12 home runs, while senior infielder Ken Sarna compiled 19 doubles and 11 home runs. Sophomore third baseman Scott Allen had a team-leading seven triples to highlight a very balanced offense.

On the mound, the Bluejays were led by junior ace Dan Gooris, who finished 7-3 with 93 strikeouts in 17 starts, logging a team-high 114.2 innings. The left-hander was an eighth-round choice of the Cincinnati Reds follow- ing the season in the 2000 MLB Draft. In the bullpen, Steve Neneman accumulated a 7-1 record to earn Second Team All-MVC laurels. Senior reliever Chris Ringleb matched the school record with 12 saves in a team-high 33 appearances.

For the second straight season, junior first baseman Dan Lawler earned Third Team Academic All-America accolades.

After losing in the MVC Tourna- ment title game, the Bluejays received an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament and defeated 17th-ranked North Carolina State, 8-3, in the Lincoln Regional opener. After a loss to No. 3 Nebraska, Creighton defeat- ed the Wolfpack again in an elimination game, 11-9. Despite winning 2-of-3 during the regular season, the Bluejays could not overcome the Huskers, falling again to the eventual CWS participant, 10-2 in the regional Academic All-American Zach Daeges championship.

The remarkable turnaround executed by Servais earned Creighton’s head man MVC Coach of the Year honors for the second straight season. The team’s 48-17 finish was largely due to the team’s fundamen- tally sound approach, as Creighton led the country in double plays, with 85, and were in the top-20 nationally in fielding percentage. The bullpen was masterful, posting a 27-3 record and a 3.72 ERA. When holding a lead after seven innings, Creighton was 33-0. Sophomore left-hander Scott Reese was a major reason for the bullpen’s success, as he finished 12-0 in a then-school-record 37 appearances to earn third-team All-America honors from the NCBWA. Senior closer Brandon Bird was nearly automatic, converting on 11 save opportunities to join Reese on the All-MVC First Team.

Senior second baseman Tony Roth and DH Zach Daeges gave Creighton four members on the All-MVC First Team. Roth set a school record with a 28-game hitting streak during the season and finished with 20 doubles and team-best 12 stolen bases. Daeges led the team with a .350 batting average and 61 RBI, also earning third team Academic All-America honors. Seniors Dan Norquist (first base) and Brad Dutton (shortstop) brought home Second Team All-MVC plaudits. Creighton finished the season ranked 28th by Collegiate Baseball.

76 Creighton Baseball • Ten NCAA Postseason Appearances Bluejay All-Americans

The Creighton baseball program has produced 16 All-Americans in its proud history, including two in 2011 as the Bluejays made their ninth NCAA Tournament appearance in school history. Four players have earned first-team All-America status in the program’s history and in 1991, Scott Stahoviak was named the National Player of the Year after leading the Bluejays to their only appearance in the College World Series.

The school’s first All-American was catcher Scott Servais in 1988. He was a third-team selection by both Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball. He was considered one of the top defensive catchers in the college game and went on to play for the United States in the 1988 PanAm games. Servais enjoyed an 11-year major league career with four different teams.

Creighton’s most successful three-year period in school history from 1990 to 1992 came with plenty of individual recognition nationally. In 1990, Dan Smith was honored as a first-team All-American by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) and Baseball America magazine after leading Creighton to its first NCAA Regional appearance since 1973.

The following season, 3B Scott Stahoviak was named the National Player of the Year by the ABCA and also earned First Team All-America honors from both the ABCA and Baseball America after leading the Bluejays to the 1991 College World Series by batting .449 (120-267) with 74 RBI. Stahoviak was also named the MVC Player of the Year as a junior and went on to play five seasons in the Major Leagues for the Minnesota Twins.

78 Creighton Baseball • Ten NCAA Postseason Appearances Bluejay All-Americans

In 2007, a trio of pitchers extended Creighton’s streak to four consecutive seasons with at least one All-American. Ambidextrous pitcher Pat Venditte garnered the most attention, earning All-America accolades from four different national media outlets, including three second-team nods and one third-team selection. Starting pitcher Ben Mancuso, the 2007 MVC Pitcher of the Year, earned third-team All-America honors from Collegiate Baseball while senior reliever Andy Masten received second-team All-America recognition from the NCBWA.

A pair of Bluejays continued the program’s trend of All-Americans, when Trever Adams and Jonas Dufek each earned All-America honors in 2011. After leading the club in nearly every offensive statistical category, Adams earned second-team honors from three different media sources (ABCA/ Rawlings, Baseball America and NCBWA) and picked up a third-team nod from a fourth, Collegiate Baseball. Adams was drafted in the 16th round by the Texas Rangers.

Dufek turned in one of the best seasons on the mound in Bluejay history, striking out 128 batters and finishing with a 12-1 record.

The 2011 Creighton baseball team became the first squad in program history to win both the Missouri Valley regular-season and tournament championships. Creighton hosted the MVC Tournament at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, after they moved into the new home of the College World Series on April 19, hosting Nebraska.

The Bluejays advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time in 13 seasons, while head coach Ed Servais became the winningest coach in program history, jump- ing from third to first, thanks to the 45-16 overall record by the club.

Think of Omaha as center court: a dynamic and unique destination in the center of the country, full of action. Omaha has this special spirit that fills the city like an arena full of fans whose team just won with a buzzer beater. Excitement abounds for what it has built, what it has accom- plished and what’s still ahead.

It’s a spirit born on the banks of the Missouri River, a city founded in 1854 by land speculators convinced they were at the heart of something new. Soon after, the transcontinental railroad was built and Omaha emerged as a hotbed of activity and new technologies.

There is a great story about Omaha’s growth in the early days that really speaks to the pio- neering spirit of the city. As Omaha prepared to lay underground cables for telephones, work- ers were trying to figure out the easiest way A view of the Omaha skyline at night. More than 850,000 people live in the Omaha metro, to string the lines. Being an inventive bunch, and about 1.2 million people live within a 50-mile radius.

Creighton has also been recognized with the MVC All-Academic Award in 7 of the last 9 seasons, including a record 3.37 GPA in the spring of 2012 by student-athletes.

A member of the College World Series of Omaha, Inc., Executive Committee, Rasmussen continues to play a vital role in Creighton and the city of Omaha remaining as host of the College World Series. He was one of six individuals on the CWS Oversight Committee that helped decide the location for the new downtown TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, which will help keep the CWS in Omaha for another 25 years. With Creighton serving as host, the CWS has welcomed more than 300,000 fans in each of the last eight years.

Rasmussen was one of four regional winners from the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) to take home a 2004 GeneralSports TURF Systems AD of the Year Award, and in 2010 was again honored with an Under Armour AD of the Year award by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. In 2008, he was inducted into the Omaha Sports Hall of Fame.

Creighton’s reputation as one of the nation’s top academic institutions is reflected in the success the Bluejay student-athletes have had in the classroom during Rasmussen’s service as athletics director. Creighton’s baseball, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, women’s soccer and men’s and women’s tennis teams all have received national awards for their academic success. Bluejay student-athletes have owned GPAs of 3.30 or above in 14 straight semesters entering the fall of 2013.

Creighton’s primary annual athletics fundraising events are the Bluejay Bash and the Bluejay Jamboree. Under Rasmussen’s leadership, each of these events continues to raise record-breaking funds for Creighton athletics. Most notably, the 2013 Jamboree generated more than $400,000 through its gourmet dinner, raffle and auction.

Rasmussen accepted the associate athletics director position in 1992 after a 12-year run as the winningest coach in Creighton women’s basketball history (196-147), culminating in the program’s historic 1991-92 season.

The 1992 Western Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, Rasmussen led the 1991-92 Bluejay women to a program-record 28 wins (28-4), the WAC regular-season and tournament championships and a first-round NCAA Tournament victory in the program’s first-ever trip to the “Big Dance.” With that 28-4 record in 1991-92, Rasmussen completed his college coaching career with a 196-147 record, good for a .571 winning percentage.

After serving as associate athletics director for two years, 1992-94, Rasmussen was named athletics director on Aug. 1, 1994.

A native of Webster City, Iowa, Rasmussen and his wife, Jill, have five children: Megan (28), David (26), John (22), Katie (18) and Grace (15).
