Due to the large size of the facility, VanDeZande insists there is no problem with the student body training at the same time as the athletic teams.  Since we expanded our facility a few years ago and because about 60 percent of the football team trains in the morning, we don t have to limit the student body s access to it. <br>The Raiders football team is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and its wrestling team competes in the Northwest Wrestling Conference. 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 $1.55 million facility that was constructed in 1983 and financed by state building funds and the sale of preferred seating. It is known for its breathtaking views of prominent mountain ranges, including Cascade Range and its Grizzly Peak (elevation 5,100 feet). The football field, Fuller Field, became the permanent site of Raider home games in 1955. It was named after John Fuller, a former Ashland postmaster who was instrumental in establishing the university in 1926. <br>Despite the relatively small size of the university, VanDeZande s football players have strength levels comparable to many Division I programs, as evidenced by the accomplishments of its defense. VanDeZande s defense held opponents to 14.5 yards per game and ranked in the top eight for total defense with 254.5 yards per game. And VanDeZande thinks the outlook is even better this year.  Last year we had our strongest team ever, but this year we re even stronger. We have several athletes bench pressing over 440 and squatting over 550. <br>In addition to maintaining a sound lifting program, VanDeZande encourages success with a motivation program he calls his  Steak Dinner Club. VanDeZande explains,  We have nine basic tests for football, the core lifts and vertical jump, standing loҭW|Ă#]dq*\RL͎`p;ը3|ȧd0dۜ@*oCnu$( knZ=20咿.;Q4՛g;VV|cXIƋ 9,˜gֱlcf.8VKaFMlnM 'n@'MgX'PI YRwR^ǹ@QV,Ǒ%.Hd'ޭIƅSݓoaJ%c5e@"*"bQ?8-j?8vNs.grݬtŤ2 p / QU_'Nb(U=֧B;ވ8_7ܺmg S F2ZM*>> @JTFb?d[B"/wW9drj8E9bz0DrFB6eV$ګ ̪ZHl3r84KpAs|udHkވW% | kS UrSJZ$Fbq 5Q6s@09`W}͏4b;D\Yjj  'z[dIoZ11+D:}ёrAo%);B,KbBDA GNDdděk->k9jQ[e+`|S6;l[r>Øq_6_mo仼q]J{w++*ʍDv J/ыZgpgթ1.>ō *qD`K4c,=,۵Z`:Ln@K8居Sn,QtuvA/bu[*lT+ӖPވ B?kYs+HK[ HPR 'tXGKB *6GaRO9.C4F٤:ɿM\ Gn{ JN_/BmD/OQ*+eFIWZE g׈16>Hoف[Y*M鵇k,'p;o6ٔ_^:mEܒI,Q[P) HqD&MJ!;T[Q9)L>uh\hyÇēJmY@q`/Ibi]A4٩o=*x=zp?FJX0)^QcQȋp3 =WݙY(aʕISm??}\H6AI(l9jȚDvHj븒[Nd'E;Ք.@yֈUƾu3mwabub.jI%(򳩌Dگ|2t)${1$G` Ĵ8opږ"lƬ_rĆBlb Uq`,FsO_a&ت)$:ث|y ׽qq@nOEGԬ/OӪƛS2x,TUq&5g\ʧor:ΙWvnhi4ezu$ 2Ul4+HSO317}MҌְ9TanXW"LKaksJ!,pG٣U& M׶Wk0YM`[\+%A';[1t)v;>cge&+bq*:/m1$k @4'̝4mpٳ{ 0PN[u>=Mag\z}=m,N|[qm5;IHF`vUĦhu>D]X3^՚+Dzth` -# 4yHcT[$I?*~K3mFH.Tm-*kL,(mll*iZt:C}GwHR.sӏ;uбGCT4(/˕_[k^-m#,! )>~23?Oɹw=R7{RȰmD/sIdøq,Oio.ꓭ. =$R"ܚ}q,i)`^c_N6%FUzX0fi}sَ; Z]mWU`G*5CkaIӐ#"@ÈʦSԈG]n^TKKju1"9 >&u, Ll '*kD`-Gjw*" bMIE6TK!xtT7(}l/~G!jキn`I8?r{lY"mgO# $(~vR,b a8YgJe{` SZ栃c1~D7~Vmf?{jim/,3}Tc۹$p./
