Jerry Schafer

Head Coach

Jerald Schafer - Head Coach

Coach Schafer begins his 24th year at the helm of the

Hardrocker cross country and track & field programs after

serving eight years as an assistant coach at the high school and

collegiate levels. An Adams State College (CO) graduate, coach

Schafer brings the knowledge, experience and tradition for

excellence from that nationally known program to the SDSM&T

campus.

During the past twenty years the Hardrocker cross country teams

have distinguished themselves by winning several men's and

women's team titles at the conference and district level. The

"Runnin' Rockers" have accounted for thirty-one all-conference

honors and five individual titles while qualifying twenty-seven

runners for the national championship.

On the track and in the field SDSM&T has been equally

successful with forty-two national competitors, fifteen national

placers, and eleven All-American honors since 1986.

Hardrocker track & field athletes have been named Scholar-

Athlete no less than twelve times. "Athletics and academics at

SDSM&T epitomizes what college athletics was meant to be.

We combine the best of both worlds to better prepare student-

athletes for the future," says coach Schafer.

The belief that hard work and dedication can overcome any

challenge is what motivates the athletes on the Hardrocker cross

country and track & field teams to strive for excellence in

everything they do, and the Black Hills and SDSM&T provide

the perfect environment for student-athletes to develop to their

fullest potential.

Steve Johnson - Distance, Jumps, Javelin

Johnson brings a wealth of experience to the new position. He

most recently was an assistant coach at the University of Mary in

Bismarck, N.D. He's also had stints in Lakewood, Wash., at

Pierce College; in Tacoma, Wash., at University of Puget Sound;

in University Place Wash., at Speed Tech; and in Pullman,

Wash., at the Comets Track Club.

"Steve has an expertise in distance running," Schafer said. "But

he will also be working with our jumpers and javelin throwers.

He has a lot of versatility in those events and it will be an as set

for him to help coach. That was one of the driving forces in

hiring him over other candidates."

Being a full-time assistant, Johnson will also have an

instrumental role in the recruiting of both cross country and track

athletes. Recruiting was one of Johnson's main duties at the

University of Mary and should benefit the Hardrocker program

by having him take a strong stance for SD Mines.

"Bigger is the goal. We want to boost the programs --- especially

on the women's side," Johnson said. "Recruiting will help us to

regain some of that competitiveness (in the conference) on both

sides in track and field and cross country."

Johnson comes to Rapid City with his wife Simonne and two

little boys, Josh and Zach.
