Bon Homme Invitational Nelson: Invite A Good Pre...

BY JEREMY HOECK [email protected] TYNDALL — Laura Nelson had already handily won her varsity girls’ race, but her day was done yet. The Gayville-Volin sopho- more immediately became a cheerleader for her team, which went on to win — sur- prisingly to those involved — Monday’s Bon Homme cross country invitational, which was held at Bon Homme Coun- try Club near Tyndall. Nelson, last year’s Class B state champion, dominated the field with a winning time of 15:01, and then watched her Raiders make up for the loss of two missing varsity runners. “The team was sitting great, and they all stepped up,” Nelson said. Because the meet was scored as a Class B event, Gayville-Volin only needed to score three runners to qualify for the team title. The Raiders moved freshman Lanny Clark and eighth-grader Ashley Em- mick up to the varsity race, and they responded by finish- ing eighth and 11th, respec- tively. Not bad considering Bon Homme has a hilly course, Nelson said. “I love this course, it’s a great atmosphere,” she said. It was also rather competi- tive on the girls’ side. Harting- ton-Newcastle (Nebraska) was second in the team race with 22 points, two in front of Free- man. Bon Homme (37), Burke- South Central (40) and Platte-Geddes (41) weren’t far back. The course terrain was good training for the state meet, which is set for Oct. 25 at Broadland Creek Golf Course in Huron. “It’s good to run here, be- cause Huron is somewhat sim- ilar, from what I remember,” Nelson said. “It’s good train- ing, no matter how fast you run.” Behind Nelson, the individ- ual finishes in the girls’ race were rather close. Freeman’s Cailey Roth was second at 16:17, followed by Sierra Votaw of Burke-South Central (16:23) and Maddison Hajek of Bon Homme (16:27). On the boys’ side, Ne- braska runners dominated the race. Hartington-Newcastle, a new consolidation, put four runners in the top 10, while North Central (Bassett, Ne- braska) had two and Creighton one. In the team standings, Hartington-Newcastle was first with six points, followed by Burke-South Central (27), Bon Homme (30), Creighton (34) and Platte-Geddes (43). The Bon Homme Country Club 5,000-meter course was nothing new to champion Colin Erickson of North Cen- tral, but the competition was as challenging as ever, he said. “I’ve been up here before, and in the past, it’s always been a very tough meet,” said Erickson, who crossed the fin- ish line with a winning time of 17:05. Hartington-Newcastle had places 2-3-4, with Noah Noecker (17:52), Jared Fuel- berth (17:57) and Brian Santi- ago (18:01), respectively. Creighton’s Garrison Hazen was eighth, followed by Hart- ington-Newcastle’s Seth Wiebelhaus and North Cen- tral’s Phillip Lewis. Monday’s meet was good practice for those Nebraska runners, according to Erick- son. The North Central Knights run a meet next week in Kear- ney, which also boasts a hill- filled course — it’s also the site of the Nebraska state meet. “It’s great to see something like that today,” Erickson said. Even if the hills near Tyn- dall are a little higher, he added with a smile. “Down where we run, there aren’t huge hills,” Erickson said. “That’s what makes this pretty challenging.” You can follow Jeremy Hoeck on Twitter at twitter.com/ jhoeck.

September 13, 1997 at UC Davis. It wasn’t so much the out- come — South Dakota State won 17-7 — that he remem- bers most, it was what hap- pened later that sticks out to Stiegelmeier, who was making his head coaching debut that day in California. “I got a big hug from my dad and he told me he loved me,” Stiegelmeier recalled. “He told me, ‘God’s blessed you.’ “And he was right.” One hundred thirteen vic- tories later, the Selby native and 1979 SDSU graduate be- came the school’s all-time wins leader. With the Jackrabbits’ 41-3 victory over Wisconsin- Oshkosh on Saturday night, Stiegelmeier earned career win No. 114, passing Ralph Ginn (113-89-9 from 1947-68) in the history books. Two days later, has the record set in yet? “Not really,” Stiegelmeier said Monday in an interview with the Press & Dakotan. “I felt blessed on day one being here and I still feel blessed. “I’ve been surrounded by so many neat, hard-working people,” he added. “To me, it was an accumulation of a lot of people working hard.” Stiegelmeier’s career record now stands at 114-82 in his 18th season in Brook- ings, and in that span, he has guided the Jackrabbits through the Division I transi- tion. But it was those D-II days back in the North Central Conference that set the stage for SDSU to become a three- time FCS playoff participant at the next level, he said. “I use the term ‘unbeliev- able,’ but it doesn’t do it jus- tice,” Stiegelmeier said. “It’s been unbelievable to see where the program has gone, from a new level, to new facil- ities, to a larger budget.” Not to mention the sup- port from fans, he added. A crowd of 13,731 filed into Coughlin-Alumni Sta- dium for Saturday’s game against Wisconsin-Oshkosh, an NCAA Division III program. That was proof that the fan- base has followed the Jackrabbits on its progres- sion up the FCS ladder, Stiegelmeier said. “Those things sneak up on you, and it takes people to re- mind you,” he said. In that way, Stiegelmeier is a lot like his standout run- ning back Zach Zenner. Zenner, who rushed for 209 yards Saturday, earlier this season became the all- time leading rusher in the Missouri Valley Football Con- ference. Stiegelmeier joked that Zenner is “better at de- flecting praise than I am,” but pointed to the senior’s humil- ity as similar to what Stiegelmeier feels after set- ting the wins record. “The linemen, the tight ends, they won’t have their name on Zach’s record, but he understands it’s a team sport,” Stiegelmeier said. Which makes it difficult to stop and talk about your own accomplishments, he added. “You hardly ever get the chance to look back,” said Stiegelmeier, whose Jackrab- bits are off this week. “You essentially get three days to prepare for your next oppo- nent. “And when you’re not looking back, you’re trying to take a deep breath.” You can follow Jeremy Hoeck on Twitter at twitter.com/ jhoeck.
