 The Dickinson State University intercollegiate athletic
program is one of the finest in the Midwest.
Offering a broad range of sports, Dickinson State has
a tradition of developing outstanding student-athletes
who are winners in competition and in the classroom.
Our athletic teams are affiliated with the Dakota Athletic
Conference (DAC),
the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics
(NAIA), and the National
Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA).
 The Blue Hawks compete in football, volleyball, men and
women’s basketball, wrestling, men and women’s
indoor track and field, men and women’s cross country,
men and women’s golf, baseball, softball, men and
women’s outdoor track and field, and men and women’s
rodeo.
Dickinson State athletics soared to new heights during the 2005-06 school year. Dickinson state won its second DAC Commissioner’s Cup in the last three years. The Commissioner’s Cup is given annually to the top athletic department in the DAC. Dickinson State is the only state school to ever win the award. During the academic year, Dickinson State won six outright conference championships and shared another. The Blue Hawks won DAC titles in volleyball, men’s indoor and outdoor track and field, women’s golf, softball and baseball and tied for the DAC championship in football.
DSU took part in the NAIA national football playoffs for the fourth consecutive season. The Blue Hawks also went on to win the post-season conference tournaments and qualified for the Region III tournaments in volleyball, baseball and softball, advancing to the championship game in softball.
DSU capped off the year with their third straight national championship in men’s track and field and their coach, Pete Stanton, was named the NAIA Men’s Track and Field Coach of the Year for the fourth consecutive year.
 Dickinson State provides excellent coaches, trainers, and athletic administrators who have one goal in mind -- to see student-athletes reach their fullest potential.
 The involvement of the Dickinson State intercollegiate athletics staff with students extends beyond the boundaries of competition, as coaches and administrators take on the roles of teacher, adviser, and friend.
Dickinson State's state-of-the-art equipment and top quality sports facilities will give you the ability to refine your skills and obtain that extra winning edge.
In the Dickinson State intercollegiate athletics program, student-athletes come first. They are the reason we have been a success, and they are the reason the tradition of excellence will continue for years to come.
