(Sioux Falls, SD) — University of Sioux Falls is mourning the death of its first-ever full-time athletics director. The school announced that Ken Kortemeyer died on Monday. Known on campus as “Sid,” Kortemeyer spent eleven years as USF’s sports information director. In 1991, he was named athletics director, a position he held until 2000 when he became head coach of the Cougars’ men’s and women’s golf teams. He helped lead the Cougars to a pair of N-A-I-A National Tournament appearances. Kortemeyer, who joined the athletics staff in 1974 right after graduation, was inducted into the University of Sioux Falls Hall of Fame in 2000. Kortemeyer was 73.
