Daniels, from Berkley, Mich., was a four-year South Dakota Intercollegiate Conference (SDIC) Outdoor Track & Field All-Conference member in 1994, 1995, 1996, and 1997. She was also part of the Trojan women's outdoor track & field SDIC conference championship teams in 1996 and 1997. She also competed at the national outdoor track & field meet.
She recalled that her graduation was on the same day as the SDIC track and field conference meet in 1997, and she had to drive from graduation at DSU Fieldhouse to the conference meet in Mitchell, making it just in time for the 100-meter dash prelims.
Daniels competed in the 100-meter dash, 100-meter hurdles, 4 x 100-meter relay, javelin, triple jump, long jump, high jump, 4 x 200-meter relay, and 4 x 400-meter relay. When she won the 100- and 400-meters hurdles, it was a great memory since her family and her future husband's family were there to witness it all.
Daniels still holds outdoor track & field school records in the 400-meter hurdles, as well as relay teams' records at Dakota State. She hit a time of 1 minute, 6.83 seconds in 1995, which was the second fastest time at that time (currently, it's the 10
th fastest time in the school record book). She then broke the school record time of 1:03.17 during the 1996 season. Additionally, she holds the current second fastest time of 1:04.30 set in 1997.
Daniels also excelled in relays at DSU, with teammates Merande Reese, Rachelle DeBeer, Amy Hansen, and Erin Jankord. The sprint medley relay team of Daniels, DeBeer, Reese, and Hansen still holds the school record time today, with a time of 4 minutes, 13.25 seconds.
The DSU 4 x 100-meter relay of Daniels, Reese, DeBeer, and Jankord established a school record time of 49.33 seconds in 1996 (broken in 2007 by Bobbi Jo Dykstra, Jayna Goodroad, Laura Tewes, and Nikki Duffy at 48.87 seconds).
Daniels was also listed in the Top 10 school record times in outdoor 4 x 400-meter relay. The relay members of Reese, Jankord, DeBeer, and Daniels broke the school record time of 4 minutes, 6.03 seconds in 1996. A year later, Hansen, Reese, DeBeer, and Daniels established another school record in the same relay with a time of 4 minutes, 3.98 seconds. This was later broken in 2019 by Jennifer Giles, Abbie Strasser, Jessica Giles, and Kirsten Paetow at the North Star Athletic Association conference meet.
Daniels also played women's basketball at Dakota State, where her single season steals record is still intact today with 109 steals, set during the 1996-97 season. She set the single game steals record with nine, in a game versus Dordt (Iowa) on Dec. 7, 1993 (broken by fellow DSU Hall of Famer Jessica VanLoy with 10 steals in the 2006-07 season).
Daniels established the career record steals of 226 from 1993 through 1997, breaking the previous record holder by Amy Jensen with 210 steals from 1986-90 (broken by Angela Carr with 228 steals from 2004-08).
After graduating from DSU in 1997, Daniels lived in Michigan, working as a personal trainer and a substitute teacher. She moved to Toronto, Canada with her family for four years where she worked as a fitness manager/trainer. She now lives in Texas, where she has earned her master's in education curriculum and instruction at Texas A & M University-Commerce. She has been teaching fifth grade language arts at Florence Black Elementary for eight years.
Michelle and her husband Charlie own a gym, Snap Fitness, in addition to their full-time jobs. They live in Forney, Texas and they have two children, Amanda and Cole.

He participated in workouts out with the team, attended many meets, and had a heart to pour into the student athletes both on and off the track. This was one of the reasons why Dowling enjoys volunteering with the track & field program for T.F. Riggs High School in Pierre, S.D.
Brent and his wife have two children, their daughter Cortney and her husband Josh Strohman reside in Algona Iowa, and their son Justin and his fiancé Madison.

Brad Gilbert - Athletic Trainer
Brad Gilbert, a long-tenured athletic trainer for the Trojans, was inducted in the 2024 Dakota State University Athletics Hall of Fame on Sept. 13. He is the second athletic trainer to be inducted in the DSU Athletics Hall of Fame (Dr. Kathie Courtney in 2016).
Gilbert arrived at Dakota State in August 1997 after earning his degree in health and human performance with an emphasis in athletic training from the University of Montana in Missoula in 1994. He then went to South Dakota State University where he was a graduate assistant athletic trainer for baseball, volleyball, and football, while pursuing his master's degree.
Gilbert was hired by former DSU Athletics Director Tom Mauer as a part-time athletic trainer. He later found out that there is no such thing as part-time when you are the only athletic trainer at a university. He continued working full-time as the only athletic trainer for approximately nine years. Gilbert also did outreach during the first few years at Chester Area, Colman-Egan, Oldham-Ramona/Rutland, and Madison high schools.
He lobbied to get a new athletic training room when the Madison Community Center was built and moved into the current training room in the DSU Fieldhouse in 2005. He was able to hire an additional assistant athletic trainer to help cover all the athletic events around the community. This was in large part due to assistance from the Orthopedic Institute (OI) of Sioux Falls.
Gilbert was awarded the North Star Athletic Association Trainer of the Year in 2017 (his final year at DSU) for his 20-plus years as an athletic trainer at Dakota State.
In 2017, Gilbert had an opportunity to move to Rapid City, S.D., where he is currently employed by Black Hills Surgical Hospital. He is also the head athletic trainer for Rapid City Stevens High School.
Brad is married to Lieutenant Colonel Kathy Gilbert, an active member of the Army National Guard. She has a daughter Shaine, and two sons, Riley and Sawyer. Brad has two sons, Brayden and Carter. Brayden is in the military and is currently a police officer in Rapid City. Carter left for basic training on Aug. 13. Both Brayden and Carter were both heavily involved with Madison athletics while growing up.
Brad would personally like to thank Dr. Keith Baumgarten, Bud Postma, Jeff Dittman, Judy Dittman, Matt Ihler, Matt Falor, Ross Reede, Kari Kebach, and all the coaches and thousands of athletes he worked with during his years as the head athletic trainer at Dakota State University. He still sees many of them at athletics events all over the state.
Tommy Hofer - Football
Tommy Hofer, a new inductee into the DSU Athletics Hall of Fame, was one of the most prolific wide receivers in Dakota State University Trojan football school history. He set numerous school records, collected many football awards, and played professional football briefly after graduation.
Hofer, a Lennox High School product, was a three-time Dakota Athletic Conference (DAC) All-Conference First Team recipient. He was a three-time NAIA Football All-American (Honorable Mention twice in 2003 and 2004).
Hofer held a single season school record with 85 receptions in 2003. A year later, he caught 68 passes for 945 yards with four touchdowns. He was second in the DAC Conference in receiving yards per game with an average of 94.5 yards.
Hofer and the Trojans squad had a memorable 2005 season, fueling a fourth-place tie finish in the tough DAC Football team with Jamestown (N.D.) and Minot State (N.D.). Highlights during his senior season included catching 10 passes for a total of 220 yards during DSU's 21-17 victory at Jamestown (N.D.). He finished his career at Trojan Field with eight receptions for 132 yards versus 19th ranked Valley City State (N.D.).
Hofer was named the Dakota Athletic Conference Most Valuable Player and a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) First Team All-America in 2005.
During 2005, he hauled in 70 receptions and set a DSU school record for receiving yards in a season with 1,097 yards (later broken by Austin Opdahl with 1,121 yards in 2017). He led the DAC conference in receptions (70), receiving yards (1,097 yards) and touchdown catches (10). He averaged 109.7 yards per game during his final year at DSU, when he was selected as the school's Male Outstanding Athlete.
He finished his college career with 255 receptions, 3,456 receiving yards, and 26 touchdowns. He owned the DSU career records in all three categories at that time (until Austin Opdahl broke the career record in touchdown catches with 42 from 2014-17).
Hofer's all-time school records in receptions and receiving yards are still intact today at Dakota State. He also holds the single season record in receptions (85).
Since graduating from Dakota State in 2005, Hofer has had an exciting and fulfilling journey. He spent part of 2006 as a member of the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL), where he made the opening day roster before being released. He then played for the Sioux City Bandits and Sioux Falls Storm of the United Indoor Football (UIF), which allowed him to experience his passion for the sport at a higher level.
Hofer started coaching athletes in 2007 with the Air Attack Academy. After hanging up his football cleats in 2010, he channeled his love for fitness into a desire to help others achieve their health goals by opening and running a fitness club. He also stays connected to football by serving as an assistant coach for Washington High School, where he enjoys mentoring young athletes and sharing the knowledge he has gained over the years.
Hofer still has a deep passion for sports, especially football, and he has made fitness a priority in his life.
