annual Student Volunteer Awards Banquet at Black Hills
State University. The coveted Spirit of BH Award was
presented to Lisa Bomengen, a senior business-education
major from Sundance, Wyo., who in addition to being an
honor student is also a gifted athlete. While maintaining
a 3.59 grade point average, she excelled in track and
cross country earning academic All-American honors and
twice earned All-American honors for her running skills
in cross country. In SDIC competition she won the 1999
cross-country title. In track she was named 1999 SDIC
female outdoor track athlete of the year, winning the
1500- and 3000-meter championships, a feat she duplicated
in 2000. She also won the same two races in outdoor
competition in 1999. The South Dakota Sports Writers
Association named her 1999 female collegiate athlete of
the year. In the community, Bomengen worked with
grade-school and middle-school children presenting
environmental and tobacco awareness lessons. She
participated twice in the Relay for Life event, helped
facilitate Jump Rope for Heart and helped supervise the
Fall Fitness Festival and worked with clients from the
Northern Hills Training Center. The versatile BH senior
