Tough officially hosted by the University of Alaska Anchorage, much of the behind-thescenes work for the GCI Great Alaska Shootout is handled by the Shootout Committee. Chaired this year by Anne Reed (pictured), the committee is a volunteer group that donates its time and talents. Without question, the group has been a critical factor in the success the tournament has enjoyed. The committee assists in everything from coordinating extra practice times and volunteers to publicity, hospitality and more. Even prior to the conclusion of the 2016 tournament, the wheels are already in motion with the planning of the 2017 GCI Great Alaska Shootout.

2016 GCI Great Alaska Shootout

ALASKA AIRLINES CENTER n 2014, the GCI Great Alaska Shootout began a new era with its move to the University of Alaska Anchorage campus in the brand-new Alaska Airlines Center. Completed at a cost of $110 million, the state’s most modern sports and entertainment venue was christened with grand-opening ceremonies Sept. 5, 2014. With state-of-the-art scoreboards, video production and sound quality, the Alaska Airlines Center is a first-class venue for spectators and competitors alike. The main arena, with a seating capacity of 5,000, is home to Seawolf basketball and volleyball, while the gymnastics team competes in the 900-seat auxiliary gym and utilizes one of the top training facilities in the nation. UAA has already hosted the 2015 MPSF Gymnastics Championships and the NCAA Div. II West Regionals for both women’s basketball and volleyball, with plans now set to host the 2018

The Seawolf

GNAC Basketball Championships as well. Behind the scenes, UAA student-athletes from all 13 sports utilize the Center’s high-tech sports medicine and weight training facilities, which include a HydroWorx hydrotherapy pool with underwater treadmill and an AlterG antigravity treadmill. Also home to UAA Commencement, high school state tournaments, concerts and numerous community events, the Alaska Airlines Center’s additional features include: • 600 parking spaces, with additional overflow capacity of 1,200 • 19 locker rooms • Student fitness center • Raven’s Nest walking track • Suite Level seating • Varsity Sports Grill restaurant

the Seawolf, the University of Alaska Anchorage has one of the more unique mascots in the country. Originally nicknamed the Sour doughs, UAA adopted the Seawolf moniker in 1977. The name Seawolf represents a mythical sea creature and, according to the legend of the Seawolf, anyone fortunate enough to view it was subject to good luck. The exact nature or shape of the Seawolf, however, was left to the imagination and thus the creature has been depicted in many forms throughout the years.

2016 GCI Great Alaska Shootout

The Seawolf of today was introduced in 1985. Created by the Clark Mishler & Associates Company of Anchorage in cooperation with a University committee, it represents an adaptation of a more traditional Alaska totemic-like characterization of the mythical Seawolf. The most recent makeover of the Seawolf, a University-wide project, was taken on in order to update the look of the UAA mascot into a more recognizable and marketable image. The University has trademarked the logo.

WOMEN’S SHOOTOUT HISTORY ntering its 37th edition, the GCI Great Alaska Shootout women’s tournament has established a tradition of its own as one of the premier events in the game. This year’s Shootout marks the 18th straight year that a four-team women’s tourney is part of the November action. After hosting the Northern Lights Invitational women’s basketball tournament from 1980 to 1997, UAA was forced to suspend the tournament due to a significant round of budget reductions in the summer of 1998. The hiatus lasted only one year, though, and in 1999 the NLI was reborn in the form of the Shootout. And so it is that this year’s women’s Shootout field of host Alaska Anchorage, Missouri State, Portland and USC will carry on the tradition of the Northern Lights – a tournament with a storied history of its own. The NLI opened as a four-team tournament in late March of 1980. In 1981 the tournament doubled in size to eight teams and remained that way through 1992. After changing to a fourteam, round-robin format for two seasons, the NLI and UAA went back to hosting seven visiting teams until 1997. One of the problems the NLI faced through the years was to find a consistent home on the calendar as NCAA women’s basketball expanded and organized along more traditional conference lines. The tournament dates were moved from March to February in 1982 to avoid conflicting with postseason play. The tournament later moved to January and then, in 1994, moved once again to December in order to attract the best NCAA Division I teams available. Over the years the NLI also moved homes three times, being held at both the Wells Fargo Sports Complex (1980-82, 1986-97) and Sullivan Arena (1983-85, 1999-2013). Through the years some of the top women’s collegiate basketball teams have played in the event – most notably the 1997 appearance and championship of a Tennessee Lady Volunteers team that featured All-American Chamique Holdsclaw. Other top teams have included Clemson, Georgia, Iowa, Purdue, Old Dominion, Texas, Penn State, Louisiana Tech, North Carolina and Stanford. The 1986 field rates as one of the best in the tourney’s history as three teams – USC, Northeast Louisiana and Western Kentucky were all ranked in the top 20 that year. The ’86 event also featured USC’s Cheryl Miller, the most heralded women’s player of her time. Like their male counterparts, the host UAA women’s basketball team has always been the lone NCAA Division II team in the tournament. And although the men have fared well in the Shootout, they have yet to win it – an impressive feat the women have pulled six times (1990, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009).

USC and hoops legend Cheryl Miller won their first two games in 1986 by a combined 130 points before falling 70-68 in the title game.

Three-time Most Outstanding Player Rebecca Kielpinski led the host Seawolves to a ‘three-peat’ in 2008 with a title-game win over Syracuse.

fter undoubtedly posting the best season in program history, the 201617 Seawolves are certainly not in denial that they’ll have a tough act to follow. Last year’s club went 38-3, claimed its second straight Great Northwest Athletic Conference regular-season and tournament titles, and came up just five points shy in the National Title Game against an undefeated opponent. With seven seniors – including three starters and an All-American – departed from that roster, head coach Ryan McCarthy has reloaded with another excellent recruiting class to complement five returning letterwinners and one returning freshman redshirt. Leading the way are two 4th-year senior starters – Alysha Devine and Kiki Robertson – who have piled up multiple accolades throughout their careers. A local product from Wasilla, Devine was honorable mention All-GNAC and the West Regional Championships MVP last year, averaging 8.6 points and 5.0 rebounds. Robertson claimed her second straight GNAC Tournament MVP trophy and third straight Second Team AllGNAC award, helping UAA lead the nation in

steals for the third year in a row. Three additional letterwinners bring a combined four years of playing experience and each has benefitted from redshirting, led by junior forward Sierra Afoa. Coming off the bench in 69 of 70 games, Afoa has been a super sub the last two years, averaging 4.1 points and 4.1 rebounds in just 15 minutes per outing. Fellow former Alaska prep stars Hannah Wandersee (4.8 ppg, 2.7 rpg, .532 FG) and Tara Thompson (3.5 ppg, .337 3FG) should be ready to increase their contributions as well. The final returnee from last year’s team is redshirt freshman point guard Yazmeen Goo, who was impressive in practice and could make a significant impact in her debut campaign.

UAA TRIVIA • The 2015-16 Seawolves set five NCAA Div. II records, including most victories (38) and most consecutive games with a 3FG made (35, Jenna Buchanan). • UAA's School of Nursing was ranked No. 3 on Nursejournal.org's 2015 list of America's Best Nursing Schools in the West.

fter a 24-10 record last season and the school’s 14th NCAA Tournament appearance, Missouri State again expects to contend in the Missouri Valley Conference in its fourth season under head Coach Kellie Harper. Despite losing one of the most prolific senior classes in school history, the Lady Bears return plenty of experience. Each of MSU’s three seniors have appeared in at least 90 career games, while juniors Aubrey Buckley, Liza Fruendt and Audrey Holt have all earned at least 11 career starting assignments. Sophomore Danielle Gitzen also saw action in all 34 games as a true freshman, earning the starting nod in the final 19. Fruendt is MSU’s leading returner in terms of scoring, averaging 11.0 points per game last season as one of nine players in MSU history to score in double figures as both a freshman and sophomore. A solid outside shooter with 100 career makes from beyond the arc entering the year, she joins senior Lexi Hughes (120 career treys) as two of the top 15 long-range shooters in school history. Junior Lee Ann Polowy is also a three-point threat, with more than 90 percent of her field

goals coming from distance. On the interior, Holt and Buckley lead the way, along with a pair of 6-3 seniors in Onye Osemenam and Rachel Swartz. A strong defender, Buckley is one of six players in MSU history to start at least 30 games as a true freshman, and saw her starting streak end at 41 games due to injury last year. Holt picked up the slack in her absence, averaging 3.4 points and 4.5 rebounds while starting 19 games. MSU’s two senior posts, meanwhile, have combined to play in 183 games for the Lady Bears. Missouri State also features a talented freshman class that includes Brice Calip, Shame ka Ealy, Emily Gartner and Alexa Willard.

he Pilots return a veteran squad in 2016-17, which marks the third year for head coach Cheryl Sorenson. Sorenson, who was previously an assistant for the Pilots, assumed the reins of the program after long-time head coach Jim Sollars retired following the 2013-14 season. Portland features a group of 10 returning letterwinners after losing just one player to graduation last season. Headlining the returners is a deep supply of guards, led by senior point guard Kaylie Van Loo. Last season Van Loo averaged 7.9 points per game and 2.7 rebounds, and she ranked fifth in the West Coast Conference in assists, handing out 3.7 dimes per contest. Just behind Van Loo on the scoring charts is sophomore Darian Slaga, who enters her second season on The Bluff after a successful freshman campaign. Slaga ended the year on fire, averaging 12.1 points over the final seven games of the season. She shot 91 percent from the free throw line, 45 percent from the floor and 43 percent on three-pointers during that span.

Sharpshooting senior transfer Holy Blades, who buried a team-high 50 treys last year, also returns, as does the team’s top returning rebounder, junior forward Ashley Gray (4.1 rpg). The Pilots will also benefit from having senior transfer Corissa Turley (6.2 ppg, 2.7 rpg) healthy after the wing missed a chunk of time due to injury last season. Portland’s three newcomers feature a pair of freshmen – guard Kate Andersen and forward Keala Quinlan – and sophomore transfer Jojuan Carrington, a forward who comes to UP from Diablo Valley JC.

he 2016-17 Trojans have welcomed a strong set of newcomers, with six Women of Troy set to clock in for their first minutes in a USC uniform. Under the direction of former Trojan great Cynthia CooperDyke, in her fourth season at the helm, USC looks to battle back to the top of the pack. There’s plenty of experience coming back to aid the Trojan cause this season. Redshirt senior Jordan Adams pairs with fellow seniors Courtney Jaco and Alexis Lloyd, while juniors Sadie Edwards and Kristen Simon will continue the upward trajectory they set off on as sophomores. True sophomores Aliyah Mazyck, Candela Abejón and Marguerite Effa now have a year of competition under their belts to help anchor a powerful blend of talent on the Trojan roster for 2016-17. Redshirt freshman forward Dani Milisic will check in for her first action as a Trojan this season alongside true freshmen Minyon Moore,

The team got an early dose of experience together this summer with a trip to Italy, where the Trojans combined incredible cultural experiences with valuable game action against several international squads. With a fully loaded roster, USC aims to improve on last year’s 19-13 mark and make noise in the Pac-12 Conference and beyond.

2016 GCI Great Alaska Shootout

MEN’S SHOOTOUT HISTORY The

GCI Great Alaska Shoot out began as a dream of Bob Rachal, who coached the University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves during the 1977-78 season. Rachal, who died of cancer in 1985, wanted to put a fledgling UAA basketball program on the map and do it in style. With a personality reminiscent of a 19th century riverboat gambler, he parlayed an NCAA rule that said games outside the contiguous 48 states didn’t count against your normal allotment of 28, plus the lure of Alaska itself, into a winning hand. The big gamble was whether the UAA and the community could attract big-name schools to the new tournament, in Alaska of all places. The gamble paid off. Coaches jumped at the chance to squeeze in three “free” games against topflight competition, not to mention the recruiting possibilities a trip to Alaska afforded. The first Sea Wolf Classic was played in November of 1978 in the 4,000-seat Buckner Field House at Fort Richardson near Anchorage. Each two-game session drew a disappointing

average of only 2,500 people, until fans filled the gym to capacity on Sunday night to see the Wolfpack from North Carolina State defeat Louisville to win the tournament’s first title. The inaugural event received national press attention and portions of the tournament were televised live to regional markets of the teams involved – a first for the state of Alaska. More important was the reaction of the visiting coaches, who praised the hospitality, the officiating and most of all, the level of competition. Even as the first Sea Wolf Classic ended, plans were being made for hosting the second tournament, pending a review of the three-day event by UAA officials. In the end, they declared that the Classic was a success and should continue. And in 1979 it did. Only it wasn’t the Sea Wolf Classic anymore. It was now called the Great Alaska Shootout – a name reportedly coined by television commentator Billy Packer during regional television broadcasts of the initial tourney. Kentucky, led by guard Kyle Macy,

fields ever, producing five NCAA Tournament teams – Alabama, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Utah and Washington. Both Oklahoma and Utah – featuring future NBA No. 1 pick Andrew Bogut – went on to win their leagues, while Washington earned a No. 1 seed for March Madness. In 2007, the Shootout featured eventual top 10-ranked Butler, NCAA Tournament darling Western Kentucky, and all-time college basketball wins leader Bob Knight in his last go-round with Texas Tech. This decade, the Shootout has been the national coming-out party for a 2011-12 Murray State team that vaulted into the top-10 rankings and posted a 31-2 record, a 2013-14 Harvard squad that went 27-5 record, won the Ivy League and sprung an NCAA Tournament upset of Cincinnati, and a Middle Tennessee team that

defeated Jeff Ruland-led Iona for the 1979 title. Regardless of the name, the holiday event was now well on its way to acceptance both at home and among the nation’s top hoops teams. Soon it was called “the best kept secret in basketball.” But the secret was out, and UAA’s sports program, the state of Alaska and major college basketball are all the better for it. In 1983, the Shootout moved from its original confines at Buckner into a newly constructed municipal sports facility in midtown Anchorage, the Sullivan Arena. Named for former Anchorage mayor George Sullivan, it was part of Anchorage’s Project 80s, in which oil wealth was turned into a series of major public building projects. The $30 million facility gave the Shootout twice the number of seats. In the early 1990s, the Shootout faced an obstacle that couldn’t be solved through local help alone. The NCAA passed legislation to push the start of the basketball season back to Dec. 1, threatening the existence of the Thanksgiving tournament. But then-coach Harry Larrabee and former athletic director Ron Petro went to work, crisscrossing the country to gain support for an exemption for the Shootout. Fortunately for Anchorage basketball fans, their efforts were not in vain and the Shootout was granted the exemption it needed to continue as the premier in-season basketball tournament in the nation. From 1994-98 the event became the Carrs Great Alaska Shootout, and from 1999-2013 was the Carrs/Safeway Great Shootout. In 2014, the tournament entered a new era with statewide telecommunications leader GCI becoming the title sponsor. All told, 26 NCAA champions have taken part in the Shootout. The defending national champion has taken part in the tournament five times, although not since Kentucky’s visit in 1996. North Carolina State was the first, starting the defense of its 1983 title in Anchorage. Two years later, Villanova played in the 1985 Shootout after winning a national title earlier that spring. Louisville (1986) and Kansas (1988) have also played in the Shootout after winning national titles. Duke, the 1998 Shootout runner-up team featuring Anchorage’s own Trajan Langdon, began its run to the 1999 Final Four here. In 1997-98 North Carolina started its trek to the Final Four at the Shootout as did Kentucky in 1996-97 and Duke in 2003-04. With the turn of the century, the Shootout continued to be a springboard to success. The entire 2003 Final Four field featured teams who had made Shootout appearances since 1999 – Kansas (1999 champion), Syracuse (2000 champion), Marquette (2001 champion) and Texas (2001, 5th place). Indiana made the 2002 NCAA Final after placing third at the Shootout. The 2004 Shootout saw one of the strongest

stunned national-title contender Michigan State in last year’s March Madness. With Loyola Chicago’s appearance in 2015, 30 of the 35 programs that have won the NCAA men’s basketball title have made the pilgrimage north; only Wisconsin, Holy Cross, CCNY, La Salle and UTEP have not played in the Shootout at one time or another. In fact, with Villanova’s 2016 coronation, the last 50 NCAA champions have appeared in the Shootout. From the beginning, the Shootout has attracted the attention of the nation’s sports press. Nearly every major daily newspaper and sports magazine has at one time or another staffed the event. Televised from its inception on a regional basis, the Shootout went live via ESPN from 1985 to 2007, and in 2012 CBS Sports Network returned the tournament to a national audience.

MEN’S SHOOTOUT NOTES

Seawolves have never shied away from playing the best teams in college basketball. On more than a few occasions, they have proved to be giant killers against that tough competition. UAA regularly plays at least three games each season against Division I programs, and the team takes pride in its success against quality foes. Perhaps the most memorable moment in UAA basketball history came when the Seawolves knocked off No. 2-ranked Michigan 70-66 at the Utah Seiko Classic during the 1988-89 season – the same year the Wolverines won the NCAA title. Following is a list of the 46 Division I programs that have fallen victim to the Seawolves: Auburn Ball State California Canisius Dayton Drexel Eastern Kentucky Grambling State High Point Houston Houston Baptist

here’s no denying that expectations are high for the Alaska Anchorage men’s basketball team in 2016-17. Coming off a 21-11 campaign and featuring seven experienced seniors, the Seawolves have been predicted to win the Great Northwest Athletic Conference in the preseason coaches’ poll, and have been picked as high as No. 3 in the NCAA Div. II preseason rankings by The Sporting News. Among UAA’s nine returning letterwinners are seven players who have logged at least 11 career starts, and three players who earned AllGNAC awards last season, including Third Team All-American senior guard Suki Wiggs. In his first year after transferring from Div. I Idaho, Wiggs burst on the scene as the GNAC’s leading scorer and No. 11 in the nation with 24.1 points per game, earning GNAC Newcomer of the Year honors. He is joined in the backcourt by fellow senior starters Spencer Svejcar and Diante Mitchell, who both appear healthy after battling through injuries last year. Despite being banged up, Svejcar managed to average 11.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 30 contests, garner-

UB TRIVIA

uffalo has already become the first MidAmerican Conference team to win back-to-back conference titles since 2001-2002, but the Bulls will enter 2016-17 with another goal in sight. Buffalo is looking to become the first ever MAC school to win three straight conference titles. Second-year head coach Nate Oats, who became the first UB coach in school history to win 20 games in his rookie season, will look to a veteran squad that includes four seniors and seven players who saw significant action during last year’s tournament run. The Bulls will be led by the team’s leading returning scorer and rebounder in senior Blake Hamilton, who was named to the All-MAC Third Team. Fellow senior Willie Conner was named the MAC Tournament MVP and was also named to the MAC All-Defensive team following his junior season. In addition to his defensive prowess, Conner was also a dynamic three-point shooter as he showed by nailing his six treys in the MAC Quarterfinal win over Miami, Ohio.

Nate Oats Head Coach

Willie Conner Senior Guard/Fwd

The Bulls have a strong sophomore class spearheaded by CJ Massinburg and Nick Perkins, who each had tremendous freshmen seasons. Massinburg played in all 35 games and was named to the All-MAC Freshman team with 11.3 points per game. His best game came against Ohio in the February where he recorded 36 points vs. the Bobcats, the highest point total by a Buffalo player last year. Perkins also played in all 35 games and continued to improve as the season progressed, culminating in a 20-point game against Miami, Fla., in the NCAA Tournament. Perkins averaged 7.6 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.

Blake Hamilton

• The Bulls have posted five 20-win seasons since 2008-09 and were the MAC East Division champions with a 19-10 record in 2013-14. • UB’s enrollment is the largest in the State University of New York (SUNY) system and the largest of any public institution in the sevenstate New York/New England region.

rake is set to embark on its fourth season under head coach Ray Giacoletti. The first three years of the veteran head coach’s tenure saw the team win 31 games as the rebuilding of the program’s foundation has progressed to this year’s squad that includes just one senior, but seven juniors, including a pair of junior college transfers. Heading into 2016-17, all 14 players on the roster have been recruited by Giacoletti and staff, including honorable mention All-Missouri Valley Conference pick Reed Timmer. As a sophomore, Timmer became the 19th player in Drake history to record 500 or more points in a season, finishing with 520. He is the MVC’s top returning scorer as his 16.8 points per game were the third-most in the MVC last season. He scored 20 or more points in nine games, and 19 points in five others. Added to the mix are two redshirts in center Kory Kuenstling, who played extensively as a freshman in 2014-15, and Johannes Dolven, who developed in practice as a true freshman. The Bulldogs also return veteran C.J. Rivers, who missed the bulk of the 2016 MVC season with a hand injury. Prior to the injury, the staunch

fter an incredible first season for head coach Eric Musselman, the prospects for year two are even brighter. Musselman inherited a team that went 9-22 and with primarily the same roster went 24-14 and 10-8 in Mountain West play to finish tied for fourth. The Pack put together a most impressive postseason run, becoming the first Nevada basketball team and MW team to win a postseason tournament with a 2-1 CBI finals series win over Morehead State. Two veterans return in the backcourt but several talented newcomers will join senior D.J. Fenner and sophomore Lindsey Drew. The newcomers include Marcus Marshall, Devearl Ramsey, Josh Hall, Charlie Tooley and Collin Weaver. Fenner had his most productive season last year, finishing second on the team averaging 13.7 points per game. His numbers were career bests in almost every category appearing in all 38 games and starting 36. Drew earned a starting spot in his freshman season, seeing time in 37

A senior, Marshall sat out last season after transferring from Missouri State where he averaged 19.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 32.6 minutes his junior season. The Pack returns two frontcourt starters in sophomore Cameron Oliver and junior Elijah Foster, who combined to start 65 games last season. The 6-8 Oliver had one of the best freshman seasons in Nevada history, nearly averaging a double-double with 13.4 points and 9.1 rebounds.

ith do-everything guard Kay Felder departed for the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers, there is still plenty of reason for optimism about longtime coach Greg Kampe's Oakland squad in 2016-17. Entering their 34th year under Kampe's guidance and fourth season in the Horizon League, the Golden Grizzlies were picked to finish second in the Horizon's preseason poll and challenge for their third straight postseason appearance. This year’s roster will welcome nine newcomers and return seven players as the Golden Grizzlies look to build off their first-ever appearance in a postseason championship game. Oakland led the nation in scoring offense last season with 86.4 points per game and played in the inaugural Vegas 16 tournament at Mandalay Bay Events Center, marking their seventh postseason appearance in the last eight seasons. Oakland defeated Towson and East Tennessee State before falling to Old Dominion by one point in the title game. Oakland returns three starters, led by redshirt junior and all-league performer Jalen Hayes.

Hayes recorded 10 double-doubles last season while averaging 13.1 points and 8.6 rebounds per game. Redshirt senior Sherron Dorsey-Walker, and redshirt juniors Martez Walker and Nick Daniels will also return. Dorsey-Walker looks to be the early favorite to start at the point guard position for the Golden Grizzlies, while freshman Brailen Neely, who was Detroit PSL player of the year and an all-state selection, and transfer Stevie Clark will also get playing time at the position. The Golden Grizzlies also feature freshman Isaiah Brock, who served in the military following his graduation from Forest Park Senior High School in 2011.

OU TRIVIA • Former Oakland star Kay Felder led the nation in assists and ranked 4th in scoring last season before becoming the 54th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. • 'Golden Grizzlies' was a narrow choice over 'Saber Cats' when the university retired its former nickname of 'Pioneers' in conjunction with its move from NCAA Div.

y the time Big West Conference play began last January, UC Davis already built a welldeserved reputation, one statistics continued to prove on a weekly basis as the season progressed: Get ready to face one of the toughest defenses in the nation when you step onto the court with the Aggies. Throughout its 30-game campaign last year. UCD’s defense limited opponents to 66.0 points per game — the lowest average among all Big West schools and the No. 40 among all 346 Division I teams. During conference competition, that figure dropped to 63.6 ppg, another league low. Rarely were opponents bailed out and given opportunities to score easy points at the free throw line as the Aggies committed 532 fouls last season, the 16th-lowest total in the nation. Since both seniors from last year’s team graduated in the spring, an experienced 2016-

after high school are likely to earn more over their lifetime than those who don’t.

MEN’S SHOOTOUT YEAR-BY-YEAR RESULTS

hen it comes to success stories, the GCI Great Alaska Shootout is just the beginning for the University of Alaska Anchorage athletic department. In their relatively short history (since 1977), Seawolf teams and individual athletes have established a great tradition of success – none greater than in recent seasons. UAA sponsors 13 NCAA sports, with men’s ice hockey and women’s gymnastics competing at the Division I level. The Seawolves’ other squads – men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s skiing, women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s outdoor track & field, and men’s & women’s indoor track & field – all compete under the Division II banner. Seawolf Athletics enjoyed its most impressive performance ever in 2015-16, producing six top-10 NCAA team finishes, seven Great Northwest Athletic Conference team titles, 27 All-Americans and seven conference athletes of the year. Boosted by a National Title Game appearance for women's basketball and a 3rdplace NCAA finish from men’s cross country, UAA finished a program-record 8th place – among 307 NCAA Div. II programs – in the Learfield Director’s Cup standings. Just as importantly, UAA student-athletes take care of business in the classroom, where they earned a program-record 3.24 overall GPA in the most recent calendar year, and in the community, where they combined for at least 2,600 hours of volunteers service in 2015-16.

the Seawolf track & field team to two GNAC titles in 2016 and capped his career by winning the NCAA decathlon crown at the national outdoor meet.

MEN’S & WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: The UAA hoopsters have established themselves as annual contenders, with the women coming off backto-back GNAC regular-season and tournament titles. In 2008, UAA became just the second Division II school ever to send its men’s and women’s squads to the NCAA Semifinals in the same season, and both programs have advanced to the NCAA title game (men in 1988, women in 2016). The Seawolf men have posted 11 straight winning seasons. MEN’S & WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY: On the trails, coach Michael Friess has established his teams as national contenders year-in and yearout. Earlier this fall, the top 10-ranked UAA men earned their seventh straight GNAC title with a dominating performance at the league championships, with juniors Edwin Kangogo and Caroline Kurgat leading a Seawolf sweep. GYMNASTICS: Since moving up to the Div. I ranks in 2003, the Seawolf gymnasts have regularly challenged programs from the nation’s top conferences, such as Kentucky, Iowa and BYU, and continue to establish new school records. With their new top-flight training facility at the Alaska Airlines Center, the Seawolves achieved two of the top seasons in program history in 2015 in 2016. HOCKEY: UAA’s original Div.

Western Collegiate Hockey Association, where it is re-establishing a proud tradition under 4th-year head coach Matt Thomas. MEN’S & WOMEN’S SKIING: While UAA’s ski program is technically Division II, teams from all three NCAA divisions compete on a level playing field at the sport’s national meet. And the Seawolves are consistently best among non-Division I programs, placing in the overall top-10 at NCAAs for 31 of the past 32 seasons. Last year, the Seawolves finished 9th at NCAAs, led by Academic All-American alpiner Sean Alexander. MEN’S & WOMEN’S TRACK & FIELD: Having competed as a fully sponsored sport since only 2005 and entering just their fifth year of indoor competition, the Seawolves have already pro-

duced an amazing 105 All-America certificates and seven individual NCAA titles. Decathlete Cody Thomas became UAA's latest national champion in 2016 last year as the Seawolf men duplicated the effort of the women in 2015, sweeping the indoor and outdoor GNAC team titles. VOLLEYBALL: The Seawolf volleyball team has become a perennial contender in the NCAA West Region, earning the program’s seven NCAA bid in eight seasons and posting another 20-win campaign in 2016. Currently featuring Alaska-grown standouts such as Morgan Hooe (South Anch.), Leah Swiss (Dimond), Chrisalyn Johnson (Dimond) and Taylor Noga (East Anch.), UAA has been ranked among the top 15 in the national poll the entire 2016 season.

KEITH HACKETT

ntering his fourth year as Director of Athletics at the University of Alaska Anchorage in 2016-17, Keith Hackett has positioned the Seawolves’ 13-sport NCAA program for unprecedented success. All told during his tenure, the Seawolves’ D-II programs have qualified for NCAA postseason competition at a 90 percent rate, producing 69 All-Americans, five Academic All-Americans®, 14 Great Northwest Athletic Conference team titles, plus NCAA top-3 finishes in men's cross country (2015) and women's basketball (2016 runner-up). Even more impressively, UAA student-athletes have continued their tradition of academic excellence under Hackett’s leadership, combining for better than a 3.15 overall grade-point average in each of his years at the helm. In the past three years, the Seawolves have also finished among the top programs in NCAA Div. II in the NACDA Learfield Directors’ Cup. In 201516, UAA finished No. 8 in the final standings out of 307 D-II schools nationally. Under Hackett’s leadership, the department has developed a strategic plan that lists the highest priorities for continued growth and development. These strategic priorities guide and direct many of the Seawolf Athletic Department’s decisions. Meanwhile, student-athlete success and the studentathlete experience are his highest priorities. Creating college graduates, honorable citizens and young people who are prepared to lead and succeed in life after they leave UAA are at the core of the department’s mission. A university and administrative management executive with 39 years of higher education experience, Hackett values connecting with the Anchorage community and building positive relationships with campus faculty, students, staff and U-Med District partners. In addition to reorganizing the internal management structure of the department, he has also entered into agreements with several national leaders in collegiate brand advancement. Hackett has developed partnerships with industry leader Spectra to manage the Alaska Airlines Center and UAA’s ticketing operations; Learfield Sports – the industry leader in media rights and sponsorships; and Basketball Travelers, which assists UAA in developing the GCI Great Alaska Shootout. Hackett has worked closely with corporate partners GCI and Alaska Airlines – and national TV partner CBS Sports Network – to bolster the vitality of UAA’s most visible event, the GCI Great Alaska Shootout. Other priorities that Hackett has targeted include external relations and development, revenue generation, and a significant focus on the ‘Seawolf Fan Experience.’ Since his arrival, over $4 million has been raised for facility projects and direct support to Seawolf sports teams. Hackett came to the Seawolves after working from 2004-13 as the senior associate AD for internal affairs at the University of Nevada, where he oversaw the football, track & field/cross country and baseball programs. Prior to his time in Reno, Hackett served as Executive VP for Special Projects and Director of the St. Gregory’s University College for Working Adults in Tulsa, Okla. He also served as Executive VP and Provost at St. Gregory’s from 1997-2004, and as VP for Admissions and Enrollment Management/Dean of Admissions for Law, Graduate and Undergraduate Admissions at Oklahoma City University from 1992-97. He worked at OCU as Dean of Students from 1986-89. From 1989-92, Hackett was the Associate AD at Northern Illinois University, where he oversaw eight Division I sports, including football and men’s and women’s basketball. The native of Nanuet, N.Y., began his college coaching and teaching career at Baker University in Baldwin, Kan., where he was head baseball coach from 1978-83 and assistant football coach from 1977-83. From there, he went on to coach offensive line for the football program at Div. I Memphis from 1983-85. Hackett earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Tarkio (Mo.) College in 1976 and an M.S. in education from the University of Kansas in 1979. He and his wife Patricia have been married for 40 years and have two adult children, Katie and James, and six grandsons.

The Municipality of Anchorage

laska’s most populous city is home to more than a few surprises. Aside from the human population of nearly 300,000, it is home to 1,500 moose and copious other wildlife. More than 50 glaciers stand in the nearby Chugach Mountains, one of the largest state parks in the nation. It’s the best mix of iconic Alaska and urban amenities. More than 135 miles of paved trails wind through the city, and salmon can be caught within the city limits. But Anchorage

also has a bustling downtown – complete with high-rises, nightlife and one of the nation’s fastest-growing culinary scenes. Anchorage is at the center of road, rail and air travel inside the state, making it a natural fit for visitors hoping to experience Alaska. Activities from the city range from bear viewing to glacier trekking, kayaking to gold panning. Pair adventure opportunities with Anchorage’s outstanding hotels, restaurants,

local breweries, and homegrown arts, and it’s a perfect place to explore no matter the season. Thanksgiving weekend is a special time for Anchorage. The GCI Great Alaska Shootout headlines a holiday weekend packed with events. The Town Square tree lighting, and seasonal exhibits, rting events all combine to keep Anchorage jumping.

The State of Alaska

laska is the largest state in the union — one-fifth the size of the contiguous 48 states and more than twice the size of the second-largest state, Texas. Although Minnesota is called the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Alaska holds the real title in that department with more than three million lakes. Alaska also boasts 39 different mountain ranges, three of which can be seen from Anchorage, and an estimated 100,000 glaciers. The 49th State is home to Denali, the highest peak in North America (20,320 feet). Formerly known as Mt. McKinley, the colossal mountain is located in the heart of Denali National Park and Preserve, located 200 miles north of Anchorage, and can be seen from the city on clear days.
