Show The Tfiumfer&inf Monday, Octo6er 3, 1983 Page 19 SUSC athletic director knows college history by Scott Ball Dr. Steve Lunt is a walking history book of SUSC sports. Born and raised in Cedar City, Lunt graduated from Cedar High School and attended SUSC. He has been connected with the college athletic department in various capacities since 1965, and researched his masters thesis on SUSC sports in the schools early history. Different working atmospheres have allowed Lunt to gain a wide background in the world of sports, facts and figures. After graduating from Utah State University, Lunt coached football, basketball and baseball for a year at Kanab High School. He spent another year as an accountant for U.S. Steel, and then returned to Utah State to complete work on a masters degree. Lunts thesis centered on the history of the athletic program at SUSC when the school was a junior college. The thesis dated back to 1897, and followed SUSC athletics through 1923 and up to 1963, when the college r became a school. Lunt returned to Kanab High School for another four years after completing his work at Utah State. There, as football, basketball and track coach, he compiled an impressive coaching record and paved the way for his return to SUSC in 1965. Though he served as head trainer, football, basketball and baseball coach, Lunt found time to complete work on his doctorate, which he received from Brigham Young University in 1976. This experience also prepared him for his present duties as SUSC athletic director. four-yea- He was named to the post in 1979. A brief look into SUSC athletic history with relation to the proposed Special Events Center can be termed a new era for Southern Utah, Lunt said. The coliseum of the events center, scheduled for completion in 1985, will seat 5,000 people, Lunt said. Increasing SUSC enrollment has even fostered talk of expanding the football stadium, Lunt said. Maybe in the future there will be lights and increased seating, Lunt said. Theres even the possibility of a horseshoe-shape- d stadium. Lunt said SUSC coaches try to get the best athletes they can from all over. But because of our budget, most of our athletes come from Utah and the Las Vegas area, he said. Cedar City is a community of knowledgeable sport fans, Lunt said. Visiting teams know its tough to play SUSC at home. SUSC fields six mens teams and five womens teams to compete in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. The are also part of both the NAIA Division I and NCAA Division II, Lunt said. Through the years in Cedar City, Lunt said he has been involved in organizing and officiating high school and collegiate tournaments. He is also a certified athletic trainer, having earned a rating from the National Institute of Physical Therapy in Chicago, 111. Lunt instigated the SUSC Hall of Fame five years ago to honor and commemorate the performances of great athletes in schools history.
