Coach's Comments -- "Dirk has the most heart of anyone on the team and is a proven team leader.  If he stays healthy, Dirk could be 1st team All-Conference and have a shot at the school record.  Dirk should also qualify for nationals as an individual."

2005 Season -- Dirk had five top-ten finishes on season.  He placed 3rd at Shawnee State Invitational in a time of 27:47.  He ran a career-best at the NAIA National Championship. He ran a time of 25:51, which placed him 2nd on Shawnee State fastest times.  He finished 8th at the AMC/NAIA Region IX Championship Meet and earning him 2nd-Team All-AMC honors.       

2004 Season -- Dirk had one top-ten finish on the season.  He placed 7th at the Rio Grande Invitational in a time of 27:35.  He placed 18th overall at the AMC Championship Meet and just missed earning all-conference recognition.  His best time of the year (26:54) came at the NAIA National Championship Meet.

2003 Season -- After an extremely successful freshman season, Dirk struggled with a leg injury throughout his sophomore year.  He ran a season best time of 26:32 at the Wilmington Invitational.  He finished in the fourth spot on the team at the NAIA National Championship meet.

2002 Season -- Dirk had a tremendous freshman season as he compiled six top-10 finishes, including a 10th place finish at the AMC/NAIA Region IX meet which qualified him for the NAIA Championship meet.  He landed on SSU's Top-25 Fastest Times list on three occasions and earned All-AMC honors in the process.  His time of 26:21 is the fastest ever recorded by an SSU freshman.
