WHAT IS A GRIFFIN?The Griffin is a legendary creature with the head, beak, and

wings of an eagle, the body of a lion, and occasionally, the

tail of a serpent or scorpion. Its origin lies somewhere in the

Middle East where it is found in the paintings and sculptures

of the ancient Babylonians, Assyrians, and Persians. In Greek

mythology, they took gold from the stream Arimaspias and,

neighbors of the Hyperboreans, they belonged to Zeus. The

later Romans used them for decoration and, even in Christian

times, the Griffin motif often appears. Griffins were frequently

used as gargoyles on medieval churches and buildings.

Tommy Connor enters his 12th season as head men’s basketball coach at

Westminster College. Since reinstating the basketball program in 1999-2000,

Connor has put up some impressive numbers. The Griffins have gone 243-

105 (.698) overall while proving even more dominant in Frontier play with a

118-34 (.776) mark on their way to seven of the last nine Frontier Conference

titles while earning a spot in the NAIA National Tournament nine times.

Last season, Connor guided the team to a 27-6 record and a third

consecutive Frontier Conference championship. The team also won the

conference tournament for the second consecutive season. The Griffins

advanced to the second round of the NAIA National Championships.

Connor led the team to a school record 30 wins during the 2008-09 season.

Westminster was ranked No. 1 in the nation for the first time in school

history in the NAIA coaches’ poll that was released on January 5. The team

won the Frontier Conference regular season title and added the conference

tournament championship for the first time ever. At the NAIA National

Championships, Westminster advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time

in school history.

You might say Connor was born into a basketball family. His father has

40-plus years of coaching experience, which includes jobs at nearly every

college in Idaho. That influence proved beneficial, as Tommy experienced

two state championships as a player for Borah High School in Boise, Idaho.

After high school, Connor signed with the University of Utah. He ran the floor

as the Runnin’ Utes’ starting point guard from 1985-1990. Connor earned a

B.S. in Exercise and Sport Science. Connor spent three years as a Graduate

Assistant Coach at Utah under Coach Rick Majerus. He followed that

experience with four years as Assistant Coach for the Utes. During Connor’s

coaching years at Utah, Ute teams reached the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, the Elite

Eight, four Western Athletic Conference Championships, and the NIT “Final

Four.”

Connor credits the type of high-character student-athlete Westminster

has been able to attract to its program, “I am very proud of the quality

student-athletes that we have recruited to Westminster College. I believe our

basketball program exemplifies what is good about college athletics: terrific

athletes engaged in their academic endeavors and selflessly committed to

the success of their team.”

During Connor’s 11-year career at Westminster, the Griffin basketball players

have received Academic All-Conference honors 92 times and NAIA Scholar-

Athlete status on 38 occasions. Last season, Westminster led all NAIA men’s

basketball teams with a 3.55 GPA.

Tommy as been married to his wife Kathryn for 22 years. He is father to his

son Jake, 14, and his two daughters Sydney, 12, and Cass, 9.

MEN’S BASKETBALL STAFF

Adam Hiatt enters his third season with the Westminster men’s basketball

program. In Hiatt’s first two years the Griffins have amassed a 57-11 record,

won back-to-back Frontier Conference regular season and conference

tournament championships, and have advanced to the Elite Eight and Sweet

Sixteen of the NAIA National Tournament.

Coach Hiatt, who played for Coach Connor at Westminster, is a native of

Bonners Ferry, Idaho, Hiatt graduated from Bonners Ferry High School in

1997. He served an LDS mission in Argentina from 1998-2000. Upon his

return, Hiatt played two seasons at Ricks College (BYU-Idaho) where he led

his teams in scoring and was an all-conference (Region XVIII) performer both

years.

Presented with many options, Hiatt then accepted an offer to play for Coach

Connor at Westminster College. During his time at Westminster, Hiatt

guided the Griffins to a pair of Frontier Conference championships, earned

Frontier Conference First Team honors both years, and was a two-time NAIA

All-American. During his senior season Hiatt was the conference scoring

champion (22 ppg) and led his team to the program’s first Sweet Sixteen

appearance at the NAIA National Tournament.

After earning a degree in History from Westminster, Hiatt attended graduate

school at Brigham Young University where he earned a master’s degree in

Geography in 2006. Upon graduation he worked as an assistant coach for the

University of Idaho. Hiatt then left the Vandals to join Coach Connor’s staff.

Adam has been married to his wife Jenica for five years. They are the proud

parents of one daughter, Addelei (3), and one son, Jaxon (1).

AFFILIATIONS

The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) is a completely autonomous association currently administering programs of intercollegiate athletics for approximately 330 fully accredited colleges and universities of moderate enrollment.

The fundamental tenet of the NAIA is that intercollegiate athletics is an integral part of the total educational program of the institution. This belief is strongly reflected in the governing documents, activities and organizational structure of the Association.

Established in 1940 as the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball (NAIB), the Association expanded to include other programs in 1952. The NAIA became the first intercollegiate sports governing body to provide championship opportunities for both men andwomen when the women’s program was established on August 1, 1980.

The purpose of the NAIA is to promote education and development of students through intercollegiate athletic participation. Member institutions, although varied and diverse, share a common commitment to high standards and the principle that athletes serve as an integral part of education.

The NAIA embraces the concept of the student and recognizes the importance of the individuality of each member institution, the value of the conference and regional structure, and the benefits of membership in a national association.

The NAIA Champions of Character program is an educational outreach initiative which emphasizes the tenets of character and integrity, not only for NAIA college students, but for younger students, coaches and parents in our communities.

Coaches, parents, administrators and community partners all have a role in developing students of character. The NAIA Champions of Character program brings them training, guidelines and

behavior models to create positive environments that promote personal growth and fun sport activity.

The Frontier Conference was organized in 1935 with four of the eight existing colleges as charter members. Carroll College joined in 1938. For a 10-year period, from 1974 to 1984, the College of Great Falls, now the University of Great Falls competed in the conference. Great Falls rejoined the Frontier in 1999-2000. For a short time, MSU-Billings (then Eastern Montana College) was a member of the league.

New members in 1998-99 were Lewis-Clark State College of Lewiston, Idaho and Westminster College of Salt Lake City, Utah. This made the conference now with schools in three states.

The conference now consists of Carroll College, Eastern Oregon University (football only), University of Great Falls, Lewis-Clark State College, Montana State University-Northern, Montana Tech, University of Montana Western, Rocky Mountain College, and Westminster College.

The purpose of the Frontier Conference is to encourage, promote, sponsor and control athletic competition among participating colleges as an integral part of the total educational process. With their motto, “The Best in academics and athletics,” members compete for conference championships in football, basketball, golf, volleyball, soccer, and cross country.

According to available records, Westminster competed in men’s basketball since 1928. They fielded a team every year from until athletics was dropped at the college in 1979. They joined the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) prior to the 1967 season. Westminster won the RMAC championship in 1969 and again in 1973 and 1974. They played in the NAIA National Tournament in both 1959 and 1961, losing in the opening round each season. Known at the time as the Parsons, they played home games in Payne Gymnasium which is on the campus of Westminster College and is still used by the current athletic department.

These records are incomplete and this section represents all the information we have on the history of the basketball program at Westminster College. Since the history files are incomplete, the current Westminster Athletic Department has decided to keep these records seperate from the records that have occured since basketball was reinstated for the 1999-2000 season.

Research assistance has been provided by Mark Miles, Josh Fisher, Ian McCabe, and Scott Iverson. If anyone has information they would like to add to this section, please contact the Westmister Athletic Department at 800.748.4753.

Payne Gymnasium houses the newly renovated Griffins strength and athletic training facilities, auxiliary basketball court, locker rooms, and offices for men’s and women’s lacrosse and men’s soccer. Built during the term of President Herbert W. Reherd (1913–1939), it was named after the president of the Board of Trustees and manager of the local J.C. Penney Company; groundbreaking was July 1928 and dedication January 11, 1929.

Though the college worried that it was frivolous to spend money on a gymnasium, the facility, designed by architect Walter E. Ware, provided badly needed recreation for the school and groups in the entire Sugar House area. It was added to and remodeled in 1970 under President Manford Shaw (1968–1976), and has housed the basketball and volleyball programs, dances, speakers, luncheons, career fairs, orientations, and a variety of other cultural and social student events—including being the practice facility for the Utah Jazz from 1979 to May 1999.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES

DUMKE FIELD

Dumke Field, on the site of the Dane Hansen Stadium, was opened October 2, 1949, by college president Robert D. Steele (1939–1952). It was a gift of the George Hansen family in memory of a son and brother, Lt. Dane Hansen, Class of 1940, who lost his life in World War II. Having had seating for 1,200 attendants, the stadium had been the college soccer and activities field, commencement green, and later a paved parking facility. In fall 2005, it was transformed into a parking structure, with an elevated artificial turf athletic field on top. This facility is now the home field for the Griffins men’s and women’s soccer and men’s lacrosse teams.

WESTMINSTER COLLEGEWestminster is a nationally recognized, comprehensive liberal arts college. With a broad array of graduate and undergraduate programs, Westminster is distinguished by its unique environment for learning. Westminster prepares students for success through active and engaged learning, real world experiences, and its vibrant campus community. Westminster’s unique location, adjacent to the Rocky Mountains and to the dynamic city of Salt Lake, further enriches the college experience.

While we’re proud that Westminster is consistently ranked as a “Top Tier” college and recognized on the list of “Great Schools” by the U.S.News & World Report, and that Westminster was named “Best in the West” by the Princeton Review, we hope you’ll come to campus, whether you’re a high school student or one of our alumni, and experience the Westminster community for yourself.

ACADEMICSWestminster offers more than 70 academic programs, including 34 majors, from accounting and international business to nursing and sociology. The most popular majors are business, nursing, psychology, and education. In addition, the college offers a variety of minors and 10 graduate programs. About 95 percent of the students go to graduate school or are employed within six months of graduation. The nursing program has a 100 percent placement rate. In addition to Westminster’s successful outcomes, a Utah Foundation study found that Westminster graduates have among the highest starting salaries of any university graduates in the state. These high starting salaries were attributed in part to the fact that nearly 70 percent of students complete an internship before they graduate.

Students choose Westminster College for many reasons, including our intense focus on individual students and their learning, the combination of liberal education and professional studies, our active learning experiences, dynamic campus environment, and the real world experiences we offer to ensure that our students are prepared to succeed in a rapidly changing world.

HISTORYWestminster College has played a pivotal role in the educational heritage of the intermountain area. Founded in 1875 as the Salt Lake Collegiate Institute, a preparatory school, Westminster first offered college classes in 1897 as Sheldon Jackson College. Named in honor of its primary benefactor, Sheldon Jackson, the college operated for many years on the Collegiate Institute campus in downtown Salt lake City. Gradually the institute became identified as the college preparatory department, and high school classes continued to be an integral part of the curriculum until 1945. In 1902, college trustees adopted the new name, Westminster. Moving to its present location in 1911, Westminster became the first accredited two-year junior college in the intermountain area. In 1935 Westminster modified its curriculum to qualify as a four-year junior college and in 1949 became a four-year liberal arts institution offering baccalaureate degrees in the arts and sciences.

Today Westminster exists as a fully independent, privately funded, nondenominational, comprehensive liberal arts institution of higher learning with selected graduate programs, meeting the West’s educational needs as it has since 1875.

is always scuffed with a thousand
