‘99 Jackrabbit Baseball
Jacks
Mark Ekeland is the winningest baseball coach in SDSU history.
The 1999 season marks the 16th year Mark Ekeland
has been baseball coach at South Dakota State University.
And it seems like every year, there are new milestones in the
list of his accomplishments.
His first year, in 1984, SDSU won 27 games - the first
time any Jackrabbit team won 20 or more games.
Every season since, SDSU has been over 20 victories.
The 1989 team won 30 games, a school record. In
1990, his team again broke the record, this time with 31
victories.
In 1993, the Jacks shattered that record, winning 39
games. In 1994, the SDSU tied that record and set a school
mark for highest won-lost percentage in a season, finishing
39-10-1.
Ekeland has guided SDSU to five North Central
Conference championships and six NCAA playoff
appearances.
And his teams have won 11 North Central Conference
Southern Division championships in the last 14 years.
Ironically, in Ekeland’s most memorable season – his
first – State finished second in the divisional standings. That
was still good enough to get the Jacks into the playoffs and
they went on a roll which took them all the way to California
for the NCAA Division II championship tournament. State
won the NCC playoffs in three straight games, then hosted
and won the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional giving
SDSU its only trip to the Division II World Series. That was in
1984. Ekeland was voted North Central Conference and
NCAA Regional Coach of the Year.
Ekeland earned North Central Conference Coach of the
Year honors for the fourth straight year and fifth time overall
in 1995.
Ekeland has served on the NCAA Division II National
Championship Baseball Committee since 1993 and is
currently chairman of the national committee.
A native of Rapid City, Ekeland graduated from Central
High School where he was a member of the state Class A
championship basketball team in 1969 and on the state
championship American Legion baseball team in 1970.
Ekeland attended Augustana College, lettering four
years each in football and and baseball. In 1972, he earned
honorable mention all-conference honors in baseball.
After graduating from Augustana with a BA in Physical
Education and History in 1973, Ekeland taught elementary
physical education while coaching high school football and
basketball at Columbus, NE.
Ekeland added a Master’s Degree from South Dakota
State in 1977, after serving as a graduate assistant in
football and
baseball.
From 1978 until
he joined the SDSU
staff following the
retirement of Hall of
Fame coach Erv
Huether, Ekeland
was on the staff at
Jamestown College
where at various
times he was
defensive
coordinator in
football (five years),
assistant men’s
basketball coach
(three years), head
women’s basketball
coach (two years),
and head baseball
coach (five years).
During his career at Jamestown, Ekeland guided the
Jimmies to the North Dakota College Athletic Conference
baseball title in 1979. He was also assistant coach on the
men’s basketball team which won the NDCAC title in 1980,
and on the Jimmies team which earned a berth in the NAIA
District 12 playoffs in 1981
He was also defensive coordinator on a Jimmie football
team which posted an undefeated season and participated
in the national playoffs in 1979. That team led the nation in
total defense..
He was named Augustana Alumni Coach of the Year in
1993, South Dakota Male
College Coach of the Year in
1994, and inducted into Rapid
City’s Sports hall of Fame in
1995.
Ekeland and his wife,
Rebecca, the 1995 South
Dakota Teacher of the Year,
have two children.

Jacks
Jacks head into
‘99 season with
blend of youth,
experience
Mark Ekeland’s 16th team at South Dakota State is,
without a doubt, the youngest team he has had.
After suffering heavy graduation losses from last year’s
24-18 team, the Jacks have just one senior this year,
infielder/outfielder Jeff Verzal.
They also have a talented freshman class, both with
redshirts and first-year players.
The nucleus of the ‘99 team is a pair of second-team
all-conference players, utility player Josh Guse and pitcher
Tim Buterbaugh.
Guse hit .320 with six home runs and 41 runs batted
in for 42 games. He can catch, play first or third, or DH.
Buterbaugh, in his first season as a collegiate starter,
finished 5-3 overall with a 4.75 ERA. He was third in the
conference in innings pitched, with 38
1
3.
With the personnel losses, there are a number of
positions up for grabs this year.
Catcher - Craig Langer is gone but this is a deep
position including another Langer, Russ, plus Guse and
redshirt freshman Chris Studer. Chances are all three will
be in the lineup somewhere.
First base - again, Russ Langer has played there but
the position is wide open including redshirt freshman Jeff
Biehn. Langer hit .328 with eight home runs last year.
Second base - another wide open spot with Verzal and
first-year freshman Noah Hummel among the candidates.
Shortstop - a fixture is gone here with the departure of
two-time all-NCC Brian Scherschligt. The candidates
include Verzal, Grant Pudas, and redshirt freshman Keith
Bury.
Third base - this has been Verzal’s position, any one of
several other candidates could play here if he moves to a
different infield position or the outfield. Verzal hit .252 last
year while Pudas batted .325.
Leftfield - Pat Dressen, Tony Jacobson and Verzal are
candiates.
Centerfield - Adam Gregg won the spot last year and
hit .300 (33-110). Rusty Remmers, the 1998 South Dakota
American Legion Player of the Year, will fit somewhere.
Rightfield - this is another option for Russ Langer.
Designated hitter - chances are, it will rotate between
Guse and Studer.
Buterbaugh leads a pitching staff which lost Mike
Jansen, Steve Piek and Rob Wewers.
Buterbaugh led the team working 60 innings last year.
Nathan Sticha was the bullpen specialist, appearing in 16
games with a 4-1 record and three saves, sporting a team
best 3.81 ERA.
Tom Laughlin (4-1, 3.83 ERA for 40 innings) also
returns after starting seven games last year. And lefty Paul
Sanow (2-1, 5.17 ERA) has enough experience that he
may be ready to move into the starting rotation. Cory
Gilbert appeared in four games last year.
Newcomers include at least four redshirt freshmen,
Bryan Rinehart, Tom Mousel, Rob Hirrschoff and Ben
Peter. Mousel and Peter are coming off injuries.
What the season holds will most likely depend on the
development of the freshmen, with the possibility of having
four or five in the everyday lineup.

Brookings, managed to secure Dakota
Agricultural College for his city.
Although allocations fell short of
the actual cost, the school was able
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. "Old Central" was
soon joined by South (1885) and North
(1887), forming the nucleus of campus
activities for a decade and a half.
DEVELOPMENT
During the first year of operation,
only preparatory classes were held.
College classes started in 1885 with 5
teachers and 17 freshman and 61
preparatory students. Growth was
slow and erratic for many years, but by
the turn of the century there were 242
students. By 1990 SDSU had an
enrollment of over 9,000 students. It
has granted over 48,500 degrees
since the college was chartered in
1881.
COLLEGES ESTABLISHED
The structure of the college
became more complex as enrollments
increased. The first nine chairs of
instruction established in 1884
included agriculture, science,
mathematics, English, modern
languages, military tactics, veterinary
science, practical business, political
and domestic economy, and music. By
1907, the year the name of the
institution was changed to South
Dakota State College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts, there were 22
departments on campus.
Reorganization into the five divisions
which formed the basis for the
designation of colleges was completed
under President Charles W. Pugsley in
1923. In 1964, when "State College"
was renamed South Dakota State
University, there were six colleges -
Arts a Science, Agricultural and
Biological Sciences, Home Economics,
Engineering, Nursing, and Pharmacy
and a Graduate Division. A seventh,
General Registration, was added later.
In 1975 the Division of Education was
created, which became the College of
Education and Counseling in 1991.
Today, degrees are offered through
these eight colleges:
Agricultural and Biological
Sciences
Arts and Science
Education and Counseling,
Engineering
Family and Consumer Sciences
General Registration
Nursing
Pharmacy
Graduate School
SDSU is accredited by the North
Central Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools.
271 ACRE CAMPUS
SDSU has grown from a campus
of eighty acres when the institution
was founded by the Territorial
Legislature in 1881, to a 271 acre
campus with facilities worth over $220
million. The University owns or leases
another 15,000 acres of land for
research throughout the state.
Peggy Gordon Elliott became
SDSU's eighteenth president on
January 1, 1998 following the
retirement of Robert T. Wagner.
SOUTH DAKOTA’S LARGEST
With 8,635 students registered for
the Fall of 1998, enrollment at SDSU
continues to be the largest of all the
state's institutions of higher education.
More than 200 majors, minors and
options are available with more than
2,500 different course offerings.
Master's degrees are offered in more
than 30 areas, and doctorates are
available in eight fields. The University
also offers degree programs through
the Sioux Falls Center for Public
Higher Education. Evening, RDTN,
Internet, and off-campus courses are
available through the Office of
Academic Affairs and Outreach.
Seventy percent are residents of
South Dakota, 20 percent come from
46 states and 41 international
countries.
Supplementing classroom
instruction are the Harding
Distinguished Lecture Series, the F.O.
Butler Lectures, and the Amdahl,
Schultz-Werth and Griffths
endowments. Students may join more
than one hundred clubs and
organizations that are active on
campus.

Thirteen SDSU players have earned NCC Most Valuable Player honors since 1978.
The University reaches all corners
of the state through the Cooperative
Extension Service and the Agricultural
Experiment Station, offering service to
seek to improve the quality of rural life.
Also at SDSU are the Center for
Innovation, Technology and
Entrepreneurship, Engineering
Experiment Station, Office of Remote
Sensing, South Dakota Transportation
Technology Transfer Service,
University/Industry Technology Service,
Water Resources Institute, Engineering
and Environmental Research Center,
Animal Disease Research and
Diagnostic Laboratory, and Northern
Grain Insect Research Laboratory.
These units help strengthen the
University's growing commitment to
research in the areas of energy and
water resources, and support of state
and local economic development
efforts through research and
information transfer. The newest
buildings on campus are Berg Hall and
Bailey Hall, both featuring apartment-
style student housing. Each building
has 40 units with four single person
bedrooms and a common kitchen
space, living room, and bathroom. The
$7.2 million project was dedicated on
October 22, 1994.
The Northern Great Plains
Biostress Laboratory, dedicated in
1993, houses scientists who focus on
research aimed at developing new
technologies to protect crops and
livestock. Research conducted in this
facility benefits the entire region.
MUSEUMS
The South Dakota Art Museum
was first envisioned by the South
Dakota Federation of Women's clubs
in 1949, and dedicated in 1970. The
Museum's collections correspond to
the rich art history of the state,
including early masterpieces of Sioux
Indian Tribal art, the famed Harvey
Dunn paintings of pioneer life and the
exclusive Vera Way Marghab linens.
The State Agricultural Heritage
Museum transformed the former Stock
Judging Pavilion into a home for
exhibits that record and preserve the
agrarian heritage of South Dakota.
Visitors come from all 50 states and 45
foreign countries.
The 70-acre McCrory Gardens and
South Dakota Arboretum provide a
beautiful setting for area residents and
tourists to enjoy a stroll through the
radiant colors and fragrances of one of
the top 10 small ornamental gardens in
the nation. It is also recognized as an
All-American Display Garden, one of
only 13 in the nation. In 1993 McCrory
Gardens was designated an All-
American Judging Garden to conduct
research on annual flowers.
Since 1985, private contributions
have made many new gardens
possible including the Rose, Rock,
Centennial Prairie, Iris, True Lily, Mum,
Native Prairie Collection, Oak Tree
Memorial Garden, All-Red Specialty
Garden, Peony Garden, Shrub Rose
Collection, and Children's Maze. In
August 1994, dedication ceremonies
were held for the Mickelson Grove
Memorial.
The S.D. Arboretum's purpose is
to test woody plants needed to protect
agricultural fields and livestock from
the region's harsh environment, to
provide hardy trees to shade our towns
and cities, and to test ornamental
shrubs for both durability and beauty.
Both the arboretum and gardens
are managed by the SDSU
Horticulture, Forestry, Landscape and
Parks Department. More gardens and
tree and shrub collections are being
developed.
LARGEST LIBRARY
The Hilton M. Briggs Library, the
state's largest, was opened in 1977
and joined South Dakota's statewide
automated library network in 1988.
Through the library users have access
to holdings from all 10 of the state's
librarys, including official documents
and more than one million other
holdings at Briggs.
