Hall of Fame
In 2003, former University of Great Falls President Eugene McAllister took a big move from Florida to Montana to take over the then University of Great Falls. He took over a school that had restarted its athletic program just three years earlier after over a decade and a half without any varsity athletics.
By the time he retired in the summer of 2015, Argo Athletics had grown into one of the largest athletic departments in the state of Montana and a growing power in the Frontier and Cascade Conferences. Dr. McAllister was a constant supporter and promoter of Argo Athletics and without his leadership, many of the school's athletic programs might not exist.
In 2016, Dr. McAllister was given the Ron "Swede" Kenison Memorial Award, presented annually for outstanding contributions made to the Frontier Conference over a long period of time.
Before moving to Montana, Dr. McAllister led Jacksonville University, and prior to that, he was assistant secretary for economic and business affairs at the Department of State under then-President George H.W. Bush.
