Mount Marty University

Cimburek began covering Mount Marty College athletics as a member of the “Moderator,” MMC’s student newspaper as a freshman; by the time he graduated from Mount Marty in 1994, he had been promoted to a full time position with the Yankton Press and Dakotan. He was named the sports editor of the paper just 13 months later. Both his peers and coaches have recognized his exemplary work, naming him the South Dakota Sportswriter of the Year twice. He and his staff have earned numerous state and regional honors in his years of covering Lancer Athletics.
