2012 ALASKA ANCHORAGE SEASON PREVIEW

With 25 returners and 12 new-comers, the Alaska Anchorage

ski team enters the 2012 slate under the guidance of first-year head coach Sparky Anderson and his newly re-vamped staff. Joined by first-year head Nordic coach Andrew Kastning, An-derson’s Seawolves will need to use their experience and youth to make a run at the NCAA Championships, scheduled for March 7-10 in Montana . “This year we have an exciting blend of new faces and seasoned vet-erans,” said Anderson . “I’ve been very pleased with how all four components are working together .” In their 35th year of competition, the Seawolves will be led by a pair of seniors on the women’s side in Jaime Bronga and Alex Parker, while junior Andreas Adde and sophomore Lukas Ebner will be the top returners on the men’s team . Bronga, a three-time All-American, returns for her senior season hoping to claim a podium position at the NCAAs on the cross country trails, while Parker, who has a team-high four All-America honors, will be aiming for an NCAA title on the Alpine courses . Adde, the 2010 NCAA slalom cham-pion, suits up for his third season with the Green & Gold after posting all-con-ference honors last season, while Eb-ner completed his rookie season as the lone Seawolf to furnish a victory when he won the 20K classic at the RMISA Championships . “The athletes that have been around, been All-Americans, NCAA champi-ons – they are doing a great job show-ing our new crop of talented student-athletes what it takes to win at the highest collegiate level,” said Ander-son . Joining the top four returners are six other Seawolves who participated at the NCAAs a year ago – Ida Bjer-ka, Halfdan Falkum-Hansen, Steffi Hiemer, Kayla Hoog-Fry, Christopher Kollenborg and Laura Rombach . “Both groups, Alpine and Nordic,

have had a great prep period,” said Anderson . “Our camps were success-ful in letting us know what we’re do-ing well and where we need to focus our attention to get better .” UAA will use 12 newcomers (7 men, 5 women) to fill the gaps and pick up any extra slack . Rookies to keep an eye on are the Alpine’s Van-essa Berther, who comes to UAA after being a member of the U .S . Ski Team, and Nordic’s Nevio Zeni, who was a member of the Italian Junior Ski Team . The 2012 schedule is split nicely into thirds, with the first third of the season over two weekends in Colo-rado, the middle third with back-to-back meets in Alaska, before Montana

State hosts both postseason events . Following the Colorado and Den-ver invitationals in January, the Sea-wolves will get the advantage of com-peting on their home turf for the first time since 2008-09, hosting the Alas-ka Anchorage Invitational on Feb . 4-10 and the Seawolf Invitational on Feb . 9-11 . UAA will then have its final op-portunity to qualify a full 12-member team to the NCAAs with the RMISA/Western Regional Championships on Feb . 24-25 . “Our division is loaded with talent, and I’m excited to go head-to-head with everyone and anyone,” said An-derson .

Sophomore Lukas Ebner won the men’s classical race at the 2011 RMISA Champi-onships.

Senior Alex Parker (bottom) leads current UAA skiers with four All-American honors, while senior Jaime Bronga (above right) has three All-America acco-lades.

the reins of the entire Alaska Anchorage ski program for the first time in 2012. Prior to taking over head coaching duties this season, Anderson produced two national champions and seven downhill All-Americans throughout his five-year career from 2008-11

and 2002 . Last season, Anderson helped the Seawolves to their fourth straight top-10 placing at the NCAAs, while finishing fifth overall at the RMISA / West Region Championships . In 2010, Anderson produced his second national champion in An-dreas Adde, who won the men’s slalom. UAA landed a combined five skiers as All-Americans and finished 7th at the national meet. Anderson also helped UAA to a program-best second-place finish at the RMISA / West Region Championships . During his third season in 2009, Anderson helped UAA to a pro-gram-best fourth-place finish at the NCAA Championships, helped pro-duced five All-Americans and six All-Conference members. Anderson guided freshman standout Alex Parker to four individual titles and the RMISA Women’s Alpine MVP, while UAA’s women’s Alpine team was the regional champion . In his first season back with UAA in 2008, Anderson helped guide the Seawolf Alpine squad to one of its most successful campaigns in recent history, qualifying a full squad of six skiers to NCAAs for the first time since 1999, while two racers earned All-America honors. UAA claimed the overall RMISA Alpine title by combining to score a confer-ence championship meet-best 256 points, producing nine top-10 results . All told, the Seawolf downhillers combined for 25 individual top-10 re-sults during the 2008 season .

Prior to coming to Alaska, he was the head ski coach at Brown University in Rhode Island from 1996-2000 . Prior to rejoining the UAA coaching staff, Anderson worked as the program director for the Alyeska Ski Club in Girdwood for seven years .

After college, he moved to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, where he taught skiing for the Flori Woerndle Ski School . A year away from ski racing proved to be too much, and Anderson moved to Inns-bruck, Austria, where he spent two years coaching a small FIS team at the Innsbruck International School . After leaving Europe, he moved to New England and spent two years coaching the Eastern Cup team at the Holderness School . In addition to his international experience, he holds USSA’s highest level of coach’s certification and currently serves as the Alaska Divi-sion’s USSA coaches education clinician . Over the years, he has been invited to coach at multiple national and regional events . Anderson grew up in Northern California and raced out of Bear Val-ley .

2012 Alaska Anchorage Skiing 32

DR. STEVE CObbDirector of Athletics – Univ. of Alaska Anchorage

In 11 seasons at the helm of the University of Alaska Anchorage athletic department, Dr . Steve Cobb has helped take Seawolf Athletics to unprec-edented heights . Not only have the Seawolves excelled in the field of com-petition, but the foundation for future success has been set in several ways . Starting with the 2007-08 campaign, UAA has enjoyed four of the most memorable athletic seasons in school history, highlighted by three Final Four

appearances for Seawolf basketball teams (women twice, men once), plus NCAA top-15 fin-ishes for men’s and women’s cross country (four times), skiing (four times), and men’s track & field (twice) . In fact, with UAA’s concurrent NCAA basketball runs in 2008, UAA became just the second school in Division II history to qualify both its men’s and women’s squads for the national semifinals . Under Dr . Cobb’s leadership, ground soon will be broken on UAA’s planned $109 million Seawolf and Community Arena on campus . He has also overseen major upgrades to UAA’s current facilities, including the installation of a new gym floor and bleachers at the Wells Fargo Sports Complex in 2010 . In 2005, Dr . Cobb helped establish the Seawolf Legacy Fund to provide a permanent endowment fund that will ensure full funding for future athletic scholarships at UAA . Seawolf Legacy surpassed the $1 million mark in donations in early 2008 . Early in his tenure, he was the driving force behind the establishment of the Seawolf Hall of Fame and was instrumental in negotiating naming-rights agreements for the Wells Fargo Sports Complex, Kendall Hockey Classic and Extended Stay Deluxe Invitational volleyball tournaments . The Alabama native has also overseen the creation of the Hockey Classic Wall of Champions above the Seawolves’ practice rink, as well as men’s and women’s Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout champions displays in the gymnasium . A former football coach, Dr . Cobb served as the athletic director at Georgia Southwestern State University before coming to UAA . In five years at Georgia Southwestern, Dr . Cobb raised the Hurricanes’ overall program to become one of the most successful in the nation, making the NAIA national playoffs in six of its seven sports and winning multiple conference champion-ships in men’s and women’s basketball, softball and volleyball . From 1992-95, Dr . Cobb was an assistant athletic director at Iowa Wesleyan College, where he served as the football team’s defensive coordinator and special teams coach . He also had stints as an assistant football coach at East Texas State University (1990-92) and Sul Ross State University (1988-90) . A 1981 graduate of the University of Montevallo, Dr . Cobb also holds a Doctorate of Education degree from East Texas State as well as a Master of Business Administration degree from St . Ambrose University and a Master of Education degree from Sul Ross State . Dr . Cobb and his wife Sandra reside in East Anchorage .

SEAWOLF ATHLETICSNicknamed the Seawolves, UAA’s athletic teams compete as members of NCAA Division I in men’s ice hockey and women’s gymnastics and NCAA Division II in all other sports, including men’s and women’s basketball, women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s skiing, men’s and women’s outdoor track & field, and women’s cross country.

UAA annually hosts the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout men’s and women’s basketball tournament — recognized as one of the top in-season tournaments in the nation — as well as the Kendall Hockey Classic.

Since joining the NCAA ranks in 1977, UAA has become a perennial national power in many of its sports. A total of 164 Sea-wolves have earned All-America honors, and UAA has produced 15 individual national champions since 1991.

The 2010-11 campaign will go down as one of the most over-all successful years in Seawolf Athletics history as 10 of 11 UAA teams advanced in postseason competition, including the second-ever WCHA Final Five appearance for hockey. Both basketball and cross country squads, plus volleyball, skiing and track & field, made NCAA appearances.

Seawolves student-athletes have enjoyed unprecedented suc-cess in the classroom, compiling a cumulative GPA of 3.0+ in 14 of the last 17 years.
