Blue Hawks, this is one of your RAs! Christopher Kistler is a sophomore history education major.

Where are you from, Christopher?

I am from Worden, Montana.

What are you involved in on and off campus?

I am involved in football, track, and some city league basketball as well as residence life.

Tell us three fun facts about yourself.

  1. I am very outgoing and have said hi to almost every student here on campus.
  2. I am an academic probation success story and only had a 1.6 GPA my first semester at DSU, somehow turning it around.
  3. My dad is 75 years old… that always seems to catch people off guard.

When thinking about college athletes, traditional sports such as basketball, football, or volleyball come to mind. Colleges have been adding more and more sports that are non-traditional, such as esports or Spikeball. Dickinson State University (DSU) has become one of those universities by adding esports and competing in their first season in fall 2019. They have a varsity Rocket League and Valorant team and are looking to add Call of Duty. Just like in other sports, recruiting is not just limited to one state, but it is open to the whole world. This is how players from Anguilla and California have ended up coming to DSU.
