When Jim Glogowski came to Simpson in 2008, he brought a sense of excitement and enthusiasm to the school’s football program. Leading a passionate coaching staff, Glogowski has the pieces in place to bring the Storm back to the prominence.

Glogowski completed his fourth season as Simpson’s head coach in 2011, and owns a record of 17-23. In 2008, the

Storm went 7-3, the program’s best finish since 2003. In his inagural season, Glogowski led the Storm’s offense and defense to No. 1 rankings in the Iowa Conference.

Glogowski came to Simpson from the University of South Dakota where he spent four seasons on the Coyotes’ staff. From 2006-07, he served as the defensive coordinator. Prior to joining the USD staff, Glogowski served as defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator at Allegheny College (PA) from 2001-03. Glogowski was special teams coordinator and outside linebacker coach at Clarion University (PA) in 2000-01. Prior to that he was special teams coordinator and inside linebackers coach at Allegheny from 1998-2000, a graduate assistant at Augustana College (SD) in 1997-98 and a student assistant at South Dakota in 1996.

A four-year starter for the Coyotes at strong safety and linebacker, Glogowski was named All-American in 1995 by the Don Hansen Football Gazette. He was also voted the North Central Conference Most Valuable Defensive Back in 1995. He earned All-Conference honors in 1995 and was honorable mention All-Conference in 1993 and 1994.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES Playing at Simpson gives you access to some of the best athletic facilities in the Iowa Conference and the Midwest.

New in 2011, Simpson replaced the track and turf inside Bill Buxton Stadium to provide student-athletes the opportunity to compete on the nation’s finest playing surfaces. Installed on the field was a FieldTurf Revolution playing surface, the first of its kind to appear in the Midwest. The track is a full-pour, 10-millimeter track from Beynon, the same surface found at the University of Iowa.

Simpson’s main indoor facilities, the Carse Fitness Center and the Cowles Center, house a variety of different amenities for training, strength and conditioning and recreation. Simpson’s indoor facilities include a 5,000 square-foot weight room, a competition fieldhouse for basketball and volleyball, racquetball courts, a wrestling room, a 25-meter swimming pool, locker rooms and indoor batting cages.

Other outdoor venues include Dick and Nancy Buxton Memorial Tennis Courts, McBride Baseball Field and the Simpson Softball Complex. Simpson’s golf teams practice and compete at the Indianola Country Club.

KENT CAMPUS CENTER In the fall of 2010, Simpson’s board of trustees voted unanimously to construct a new $14 million student center. The Kent Campus Center will house a coffee shop, alternative eating options, space for concerts, banquets, meetings and additional office space for campus departments, including the Center for Vocation and Integrative Learning. Construction is set to begin in Summer 2011 with an expected completion date of Fall 2012.
