Greater Grand Forks is an impressively cosmopolitan
city, boasting a regional population of roughly 75,000

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.”

Director of Strength and Conditioning
Fighting Sioux
2010-11 track & cross country
strength and conditioning
mission
It 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 studentathlete
reach their full athletic potential.
PHilosoPHy
We 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 studentathletes
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 offseason
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.

steve Westereng
Director of Sports Medicine
Dr. Greg Greek
Team 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 studentathlete.
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.

AThlETIcS DIREcToR
Brian Faison
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.

DICK clay
Head Coach
Years at UND: 26th
Hometown: Dawson, Minn .
Alma mater: St . Cloud State (‘82)
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 women’s cross country team earned team and individual runnerup
honors at the 2009 Great West Conference Championship; the Sioux
finished second in the team standings while senior Brittany Brenny
earned her second straight all-conference first team nod by taking
second in the individual standings . Brenny was joined on the allconference
team by teammate and second-team selection Katherine
Enabnit .
In 2008-09, UND’s first as a Division I program, Clay guided the
Sioux to a third-place finish at the inaugural Great West Conference
Cross Country Championship, where three of his runners earned allconference
honors: Brenny (first team), Mandy Gefroh (first) and Emily
Emerson (second) .
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 twotime
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 . Clay’s women’s track and field
team boasted the sixth-highest grade point average (3 .5) in Division I
last season, earning the team 2010 Division I Women’s All-Academic
Track and Field Team honors by the U .S . Track and Field and Cross
Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) .

Newcomer Lindsay Anderson, a junior transfer,
burst on to the Great West Conference scene by
winning the GWC Cross Country championship.
The 2010 UND cross country season will long
be remembered for the dominance of newcomer
Lindsay Anderson .
The Leeds, N .D ., product, who transferred
to UND from Iowa prior to the season, announced
her arrival by winning the first meet
of the season .
Anderson never stopped running, or winning,
the rest of the season .
By the time the 2010 season had come to a
close, Anderson had won four different meets,
including the Great West Conference Championship,
garnered GWC Athlete of the Year
honors, All-GWC first-team accolades, and
four GWC Athlete of the Week nods .
It was quite possibly the most dominant individual
season by a Sioux runner in program
history, and highlighted Dick Clay’s 26th season
as UND head coach .
The 2010 sesason, however, was hardly a onewoman
show .
Junior Emily Emerson (Lino Lakes, Minn .)
joined teammate Anderson on the All-GWC
first team after placing fifth at the conference
championship, the second time in three years
she has landed on the all-conference team .
Fellow junior Katherine Enabnit (Carmichael,
Calif .) finished 15th at the GWC Championship,
giving the Fighting Sioux a trio of runners
in the top 15 .

(Grand Rapids, Minn .), Casie gates (Bismarck,
N .D .), Victoria Lutz (Park Rapids, Minn .), Taylor
Pintar (Bismarck, N .D .), Brittany Ungs
(Mantorville, Minn .), and Savana Weller
(Sauk Centre, Minn .) each saw significant action
as first-year runners, ensuring a bright
future beyond 2010 .
Those seven freshman joined a roster that
also included juniors meghan Enabanit (Carmichael,
Calif .) and Angela Kumm (Hutchinson,
Minn .), and sophomore Anna Lipetzky
(Moorhead, Minn .), providing Clay with ample
depth .
Anderson led the way throughout the year,
taking first-place honors at UND’s Ron Pynn
Classic (Sept . 4), Eastern Illinois’ Panther Open
(Sept . 10), a season-ending dual at South Dakota
(Nov . 13), and, most importantly, the
GWC Championship .
Her first-place finish at the conference championship
was UND’s first individual conference
title of the Division I transition . It also
resulted in Anderson being named the Great
West Conference Athlete of the Year .
In addition to their All-GWC first team honors,
Anderson and Emerson were also selected to
the 2010 GWC Fall-Academic team, and were

2010 cross country season review 31

2010-11 und track & cross country
Junior distance runner Emily Emerson was
named UND’s Most Valuable Runner in 2010.
Despite a fifth-place ranking in the 2011
Great West Conference Indoor Track and Field
preseason coaches poll, 26th-year head coach
Dick Clay has the ingredients in place to make
a run at perennial league powers Utah Valley
and South Dakota .
UND boasts a dual conference champion in
senior Jessica Butler (Grand Rapids, Minn .),
and a pair of distance runners who earned
cross country all-conference honors in juniors
Lindsay Anderson (Leeds, N .D .) and Emily
Emerson (Lino Lakes, Minn .) .
That trio, along with a talented and experienced
supporting cast, give Clay and his student-athletes
plenty of reason for optimism
this season .
DISTANCE/mID-DISTANCE
UND hopes Anderson can build on her historic
2010 cross country season in which she
earned Great West Conference Athlete of the
Year honors and was a four-time conference
runner of the week .
Emerson, meanwhile, returns to once again
anchor UND’s distance runners after earning
her second career cross country all-conference
honor .
There is plenty of experience behind Anderson
and Amerson, including the likes of juniors
Katherine Enabnit (Carmichael, Calif .),
meghan Enabnit (Carmichael, Calif .), and
Angela Kumm (Hutchinson, Minn .), as well
as sophomore Anna Lipetzky (Moorhead,
Minn .) .
32 2011 track & field preview
The distance and mid-distance runners will
also be pushed by sophomore Taryn Anderson
(Remer, Minn .), and freshmen Jordyn
Dass (Hopkins, Minn .), Kahla Erickson (Grand
Rapids, Minn .), Victoria Lutz (Park Rapids,
Minn .), Taylor Pintar (Bismarck, N .D .), Savana
Weller (Sauk Centre, Minn .) .
JUmPS/HURDLES
Butler enjoyed a breakthrough season as a
sophomore, winning conference titles in the
60-meter hurdles (indoor) and the 100-meter
hurdles (outdoor), setting school records in
both .
Behind the standout Butler, Clay boasts plenty
of depth . Senior Sarah Fegley (Berthold, N .D .)
and junior mikaela Hirst (Bismarck, N .D .) will
contribute in both hurdles and sprints, as well
sophomores megan gray (St . Cloud, Minn .)
and Kirsten Haas (Belgrade, Mont .) .
Freshman Hannah Daggett (Frazee, Minn .)
will be in the mix in the jumps, while classmate
Taylor Brett (Forest Lakes, Minn .) looks
to make her mark in the pole vault .
SPRINTS
The aforementioned Fegley and Hirst return,
as do junior Cheri Boyer (Barney, N .D .) and
sophomores Paige Kuplic (Savage, Minn .)
and Brittany Zander (Mandan, N .D .) .
Freshmen Brittney Bolstad (Fargo, N .D .), Brittany
Ungs (Mantorville, Minn .) and Anne Van
Hell (Forest Lake, Minn .) are also sprinters to
watch .
Another freshman, Jenna gillson (Grand Rapids,
Minn .), will compete in both sprints and
hurdles .
Biederstedt, a junior, has been elected a team cocaptain
for the second straight year.
Butler won GWC titles and set school records in
the 60-meter hurdles and 100-meter hurdles.
THROWS
Junior co-captain Brooke Biederstedt (Dickinson,
N .D .) is UND’s top returning thrower
and was voted a team captain for the second
straight year .
Her classmate, Samantha Underhill (Brainerd,
Minn .), also returns in 2011 and looks to
take a step forward in her development .
A third junior, Christine Weinreich (Pismo
Beach, Calif .), joins the Sioux from Cuesta (Calif
.) College and brings the ability to make an
immediate impact in 2011 .
Talented sophomore megan Storstad (Grand
Forks, N .D .) rounds out a talented quartet of
Sioux throwers .

Ed Grom
GWC Commissioner
The Great West Conference is
made up of 10 intercollegiate institutions
that range geographically
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 additional
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 playing
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; University
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 operations
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 relations
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.
