Dear Trailblazer Nation,
Dixie State University Athletics deeply appreciates your loyalty and continued support of our programs and its student-athletes. As stated in our mission, we strive to build champions every day in the classroom, in competition, in the community and in life as we serve the institution, our student-athletes, our fans, and the Southern Utah community. With your assistance and cooperation, we can achieve these goals.
This booklet includes historic facts and highlights about Dixie State Athletics. We feel that it is very important to showcase the rich history and accomplishments that have been established here. It is a tradition that we are very proud of, be it while we were a junior college or as what we are today, a proud member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and it is one that we intend to build upon in the future.
Thank you again for all of your support.
For your convenience, we have included an office directory at the back of this booklet should you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Jason Boothe, Ed.D. Director of Athletics

Dear Trailblazer Nation,
Dixie State University Athletics deeply appreciates your loyalty and continued support of our programs and its student-athletes. As stated in our mission, we strive to build champions every day in the classroom, in competition, in the community and in life as we serve the institution, our student-athletes, our fans, and the Southern Utah community. With your assistance and cooperation, we can achieve these goals.
This booklet includes historic facts and highlights about Dixie State Athletics. We feel that it is very important to showcase the rich history and accomplishments that have been established here. It is a tradition that we are very proud of, be it while we were a junior college or as what we are today, a proud member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and it is one that we intend to build upon in the future.
Thank you again for all of your support.
For your convenience, we have included an office directory at the back of this booklet should you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Jason Boothe, Ed.D. Director of Athletics
