Ryan Stevens |
and placed second at the South
Central Conference tournament. He also competed on Interlaken’s MGA junior team
that finished sixth in the state last summer.
“Ryan is a very talented player who has a great passion for golf and has worked
very hard to get where he is,” Soper said. “He has been part of a very good
program with excellent teammates at Fairmont under coach Brad Haugen and his
willingness to be part of something bigger than himself will make it an easy
transition to our program at Iowa Lakes.
“Ryan has had a lot of success on the golf course and is quick to attribute his
success to good instructors and a lot to his grandfather, Gary Stevens, who
introduced him to golf and has supported him tremendously along with the rest of
his family, coaches and friends. “He will fit in well and fill in
some voids we will have with our graduating players.”
He is the son of Mark Stevens and Desiree Diaz of Fairmont.

Moeller family donates trophy case to ILCC
March 2, 2010
Included in the ceremony Saturday were (from left) Kris Moeller,
Darin Moeller, executive dean of the Estherville campus; Darin’s daughter,
Lauren Moeller, and son, Jayson Moeller, Darin’s mother, Linda, of Readlyn; and
brother Travis Moeller, also of Readlyn (front).
ESTHERVILLE -
The family of Dennis Moeller gathered Saturday to officially
dedicate a new trophy case named after Dennis, the father of Darin Moeller,
executive dean of the Estherville campus and former athlete and coach at Iowa
Lakes Community College.
“This was part of my Dad’s wish,” Darin Moeller said. “He wanted us to do
something for athletics and Iowa Lakes.”
His Dad saw plenty of games at Iowa Lakes.
“He had always – for my two years as a player and nine years as a coach – took a
three-hour drive (from Readlyn) with my Mom to watch games both weekdays and
weekends.”
“They also made friends with the ‘regulars’ attending the games and they both
felt a real appreciation – both he and my Mom – for what my education did for
me,” Darin Moeller said.
The trophy case will be reserved specifically to honor top athletes at the
college – Academic All-Americans and All-Americans.
Darin Moeller and his mother, Linda, officially presented the gift to the Iowa
Lakes Foundation during a short ceremony at halftime of the men’s basketball
game with Kirkwood.
Also traveling to the event for the dedication were Dennis Moeller’s sons,
Travis and Kevin of Readlyn; along with Dennis’ sister and her husband, Brenda
and Kraig Neibuhr of Northfield.
Jolene Rogers, executive director of institutional advancement, accepted the
gift.
“On behalf of the Iowa Lakes foundation, we want to thank the family of Dennis
Moeller for including the college in Dennis’ legacy,” Rogers said. “Our sincere
appreciation to Linda Moeller and the rest of the family for this trophy case.
What a wonderful way to show their support of Iowa Lakes by focusing on
outstanding athletes – something that was of special interest of both Dennis and
Linda Moeller.”
Athletics Director and men’s basketball coach Troy Larson is grateful to
have the new space for trophies and to specifically honor academic all-Americans
and all-American athletes.
“We really appreciate the contribution in memory of Dennis Moeller to fund our
new trophy cases,” Larson said. “Iowa Lakes was a large part of Dennis’ life,
with Darin first playing – and then coaching here.”
And, his legacy will live on.
“Because of his generosity we will be able to continue to recognize our
all-American Student Athletes,” Larson added.
