The remaining SOU sports---baseball (men and women), cross-country (men and women), soccer (women), tennis (women), outdoor track and field (men and women) and volleyball (women)---compete in the Cascade Conference. <br>The Raiders football and track teams compete in Raider Stadium, a $1.55 million facility that was constructed in 1983 and financed by state building funds and the sale of preferred seating. It is known for its breathtaking views of prominent mountain ranges, including Cascade Range and its Grizzly Peak (elevation 5,100 feet). The football field, Fuller Field, became the permanent site of Raider home games in 1955. It was named after John Fuller, a former Ashland postmaster who was instrumental in establishing the university in 1926. <br>Despite the relatively small size of the university, VanDeZande s football players have strength levels comparable to many Division I programs, as evidenced by the accomplishments of its defense. VanDeZande s defense held opponents to 14.5 yards per game and ranked in the top eight for total defense with 254.5 yards per game. And VanDeZande thinks the outlook is even better this year.  Last year we had our strongest team ever, but this year we re even stronger. We have several athletes bench pressing over 440 and squatting over 550. <br>In addition to maintaining a sound lifting program, VanDeZande encourages success with a motivation program he calls his  Steak Dinner Club. VanDeZande explains,  We have nine basic tests for football, the core lifts and vertical jump, standing long jump, pro agility shuttle and the BFS dot drill. If an athlete achieves a certain standard in one of those tests, I buy them a steak dinner. The standards include the following: bench press, 400; squat, 500; power clean, 325; power jerk, 315; hex bar deadlift, 650; long jump, 10 feet; vertical jump, 36 inches; pro agility, 4.7 for offensive linemen and 4.2 for all others; and the dot drill, 4.5 seconds for linemen and 4.0 seconds for everyone else.  During spring ball I invite the winners over to my house for a big shindig of steak dinners. I expect to see more than 30 athletes this year. <br>One athlete who has consumed a lot of VanDeZande s steaks is free safety Nick Daniken, who is entering his senior year at SOU. At 5-11 and 205 pounds, Daniken overcame a serious back injury from a car accident in high school to lead the Raiders with 80 total tackles, 37 of them solo. With a 4.54 forty and a 520 squat, Daniken is sure to catch the eye of pro scouts who often visit SOU.<br>VanDeZande s advice to future strength coaches is straight to the point:  Get into the BFS system---no question. When I look at many of the teams we ve hammered despite their superior talent and facilities, it s obvious that if they were doing what they should be doing they would beat us, says VanDeZande.  Also, I would advise young coaches to be open to learning from other coaches and to set high standards. <br>Although his success has afforded him many opportunities to move to larger schools, VanDeZande is very content here.  Southern Oregon University is awesome. Coach Olson is a person of tremendous integrity who has instilled an amazing level of class in this program. As for the Oregon countryside and geography, this is a wonderful place to be. <br><br>You might even say it s perfect.o fall off. This can be very dangerous when doing any lift, but it is especially dangerous when doing heavy deadlifts and heavy squats. <br>Price: Bars with a yield strength of 135,000 to 165,000 PSI are $130 to $150. For your super-heavy lifters, look at spending around $300-the price goes up substantially asֵ#\U.F4se7lG$F&ǒA̵?hhUAk3 L1d*7yHmek'DGnd/z1?(L$OfS&AͪtkSY,:32Wj3m]n:m2td'klmifWJf[t9>e ̀^,YF 9|&qpYVїmV_T27aIM$R0\xA,_PQd~~;XC1~4I(w)qbE@KH-B3AÝkWj $2l7U6dfU_A6fB9wg`4 SN{Abl#`Jc :L^SXٽ7>(K.褫s9:ђ!LR;콄3Pd$ &0g;MvѦfT^iN%WiĀ|ΐUcr76R^opMeu v2LՉLd-$TVܛ.$Pra]XHsdFI U0_RT2Yd^h}ix r}x_j\<ᝣˌʲF;YWUҶIDj|mdAăM,QȊxdGa,54|n[p}ArIM$EV Qa\_kCxϼOM.rr_q2HG5!͈ގ>ZN8Vkљy>/6gV&9E%d%i  Ukbԡޚ9{N?fF6 I9Xz6I e^Du[OgXU:2NtvəA쀅R?!—lXM4dA'kE${z\LGuAvTMc Se*l6(5h#6b u ڲŠ>ItYQPYcݧV6LLUH~J&9$)KQ۴
