Newcomers who are expected to contribute this season include Sophomore Emily Tschetter is back and will try to continue her Cassie Kozar, a backstroker from British Columbia, Canada, and assault on the record books. During her freshman season,Tschetter Alexandra Hoffman, a transfer from Minnesota, who will primarily set school records in the 100-yard breaststroke, 200 breaststroke, compete in the 100 and 200 backstroke, where she could be near and 400 individual medley, all of which were at the Mid-Continent the top in conference. Alaskan freshmen Amanda Jones and Julia Conference Championships. Dicostanzo will also be looked at to make an early impact. Jones will be one of the best on the team in the freestyle and butterfly, while Dicostanzo is a sprinter who broke the state record in the 200 medley last season. April Peterson from Thief River Falls, Minn., is also strong in individual medleys and lettered six times in high school. Two other swimmers who will be important additions to the team will be freshmen Jennifer Daniels and Rebecca Hempel. Sasha Porter will be the only diver on the women’s team this season. Graduate assistant Amy Bouy, who was a national qualifier in college at Nebraska, will coach the divers, giving them more one-on-one teaching. This allows Erickson to have more time to coach the swimmers and allows the divers to be coached by a former diver to perfect their technique. Erickson expects some diving records that have been standing for many decades to fall this year. The schedule is challenging since there is only one home meet — Oct. 27 versus Iowa State.The travel schedule does take a toll, but the younger swimmers now know what to expect and how to handle the travel throughout the year, Erickson said. In competition, the Jackrabbits will be headed back to the Minnesota Challenge, which will focus on individual swimming times, as well as the Husker Invitational.The Jacks will also be facing some of the same dual opponents as in previous seasons, including Northern Colorado, Northern Iowa, Nebraska, St. Louis University, and Wisconsin-Green Bay. The SDSU women’s swimming and diving team will finish the season in Rochester, Mich., at the Summit League Championships Feb. 21-23.

With a record enrollment of 11,706 students in the fall of 2007, South Dakota State University is the state’s largest institution of higher education. Today, students from all 50 states and more than 40 countries attend SDSU. More than 67,000 degrees have been granted since the college was chartered in 1881. EARLY HISTORY Located in Brookings, SDSU was authorized in 1881 by the Territorial Legislative Assembly and serves as the state’s land-grant institution.Territorial Council member John O’Brien Scobey, failing to obtain the penitentiary for Brookings, managed to secure Dakota Agricultural College for his city. Although allocations fell short of the actual cost, the school was able to open in the fall of 1884 because the president, George Lilley, was willing to advance $500 — one- third of his salary — to finish three rooms in the new Central Building. COLLEGES ESTABLISHED were six colleges; today degrees are offered coordinated through the Office of Academic The structure of the college became more through these eight colleges: Affairs and Outreach. complex as enrollments increased.The first • Agricultural and Biological Sciences SDSU BY THE NUMBERS nine chairs of instruction established in 1884 • Arts and Science In its 126-year history, South Dakota State included agriculture, science, mathematics, • Education and Counseling has grown from a campus of 80 acres in 1881 English, modern languages, military tactics, • Engineering to a 422-acre campus with facilities worth veterinary science, practical business, political • Family and Consumer Sciences more than $380 million. and domestic economy, and music. • General Registration The University owns or leases another By 1907, the year the name of the institu- • Nursing 15,000 acres for research throughout the tion was changed to South Dakota State • Pharmacy state.

Within the Athletic Department, excellence is measured by much more than wins and losses.We are committed to providing each and every student-athlete with a comprehensive collegiate experience that is second to none. Every decision that guides our program is made with the student-athlete in mind. Is Athletic Achievement important? Yes, because it is the fundamental purpose of the student-athlete experience. Is Social Responsibility a vital component? Yes, we expect to contribute to the well-being of our campus, community, and state. How about Positive Student-Athlete Experiences and Competitive Success? Those also define our program because they are integral to the student athlete’s growth. That is what it means to be student- centered, and why our vision is:

VISION: To be a premier student-centered collegiate athletic program. How will SDSU Athletics achieve that vision? By working tirelessly to create a special place where student-athletes who share our drive and determination can develop life skills that lead not only to athletic success, but pave the way for victories long into their lives.The important work of creating that setting is the heart of our mission:

MISSION: To passionately and relentlessly create an environment, rooted in sportsmanship and ethical conduct, where motivated student-athletes can develop into lifelong champions. To be a lifelong champion, one must maintain a discipline of taking the highest road. Similarly, SDSU is guided by a stringent value set that will not be compromised:

VALUES: Honesty, equity, academic integrity, fiscal integrity and social responsibility with the expectation of competing at the highest level. SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY
