Athletes as Students

New Black Hills State University Athletic Director Padraic McMeel and Thayer Trenhaile, BHSU Assistant Athletic Director for External Operations, will tell us how BHSU supports its athletes in excelling both off and on the field.

The mission of the athletics department is to provide an opportunity for student-athletes to develop and challenge their abilities through sports and provide a component of college life for all students, staff, alumni, and community through an affiliation and membership in the NCAA Division II level of athletics.
