Bud Postma has been named the athletics director at Dakota State University in April 2024.
Postma is a name well-known in athletics circles in South Dakota, having been AD at Madison High School for many years. He also has decades of coaching experience in Madison, with girls and boys golf, wrestling and football, as well as leadership and administrative experience.
Postma has been a member of the South Dakota High School Activities Association and has served on its board of directors and golf and wrestling advisory boards. He is an NCAA certified wrestling office and has been tournament director for NCAA Division II National Wrestling tournaments as well as state golf and track & field meets.
He credits his experience as the AD at Madison High School as very beneficial, noting Madison's program successes, and his efforts with a large gymnasium construction project about 10 years ago.
"During that period, I was actively involved in all the facets of planning, designing, and building," he said. "At the same time, I was responsible for all sponsorships and donations." DSU is currently in the process of a construction project for an athletics events center, set to open in August 2024.
