SEASON PREVIEWSEASON PREVIEW

2014 SEASON PREVIEWFollowing a third place fi nish at last year’s NEWMAC

Championships the Coast Guard men’s track time is primed for even bigger things this season. This year’s team will be led by senior captains Adam Scalesse, Ben Wolhaupter, Brad Pienta, and Clay Kosack.

Ethan Brown is back for his third season at the helm as the Bears’ head coach. He’ll be assisted by Greg Ahnrud, Ray LaForte, Kim Johnson, Marcus Ivery, Ben Thuma, Andrea Parker, Chris Bonner and Patti Olson.

Depth in virtually every discipline with be a major strength for the team this season as Coast Guard returns all but one (Will Baker, throws) of their primary scorers from a year ago.

In the sprints, Scalesse (60m Hurdles Indoor, 110m Hurdles Outdoor), a four-time All-American, will lead the Bears in the hurdle events while also serving as the anchor on this year’s 4x400m relay team. The other members of the 4x400m relay team are expected to be juniors James Dawkins, Kelcey Smith, and sophomore Frederick Higgins. Dawkins has run as quick as a 51.44 in the 400m dash but accounted for a remarkable 48 second split at last year’s Outdoor New England Open 4x400m relay. Higgins is a hair faster than Dawkins in the 400m (50.78) but has run faster splits during relays. Smith should provide support in the 4x400m relay while also seeing some time in both the 200m and 400m runs.

As a Division III New England qualifi er, junior Ben Hannon was terrifi c a season ago and should see time between the sprint relays, 400m, and 200m this season.

Wolhaupter will be Coast Guard’s top pole vaulter, after fi nishing 8th at the NCAA Division III Championships a season ago, earning All-American accolades. His best jump of the championship last year checked in at 15’11” and with fi ve of the vaulters who fi nished ahead of him graduating, he’s on the short list of favorites to compete for the individual championship this year.

Kosack who is a multi-event specialist and all-around athlete was an NCAA Division III Outdoor qualifi er last year in the decathlon. He made huge strides from his sophomore to junior season and Coach Brown expects the same from his junior year to his senior season this year. In addition to the decathlon, Kosack is also expected to be a major player in the indoor heptathlon in 2013/14.

Coach Brown also points to sophomore Matt Navetta (pole vault) who was a Division III New England qualifi er a year ago as someone who should consistently score for the Bears this season.

The top thrower for Coast Guard will be junior Thomas Bondurant. A year ago, Bondurant launched a throw of 53’5.5” in the weight throw and was a consistent scorer in all championship events last season.

The deepest disciplines for Coast Guard will likely be in the distance and mid-distance events where numerous athletes are primed for big seasons.

In the mid-distance, the Bears are led by Pienta who will be a fi xture on the 4x800m relay team. He’ll be joined by senior Jordan Lee and juniors Ryan Hub and James Martin. Lee has run as fast a 1:54.08 in the 800m and will be counted on to provide key leadership this season. Martin has a personal best of 1:59.07 in the 800m but has run faster splits in the 4x800m relay while Hub is considered to be a 4x800m relay specialist.

The distance portion of the team will be led by cross country a Division III National qualifi er in senior Gary Ezzo who will be a fi xture in the 3,000m and 5,000m events. He is also in the mix as a possibility in some relays. Juniors Nicholas Foster, Jon Lash, and Joey O’Connell were all key scorers during the cross country season and appear to be natural fi ts to join Ezzo in both the 3,000m and 5,000m. Much like his classmates, junior Stephen Horvath should be in the mix to compete in the same events, but specializes in the 3,000m outdoor steeplechase.

Among newcomers, Coach Brown points to four athletes who should be major contributors immediately. Two distance runners, freshmen Gilliam Hill and Zachary Velasquez look to provide quality depth in the distance events. While Hill doesn’t have a determined specialty event as of yet, he should excel in a number of events while Velasquez will specialize in the 3,000m and also see action in the 5,000m and 1 mile.

Sophomore Andrew Scheff ey is another newcomer this season after injury curtailed his freshman campaign in 2012/13. He’ll be expected to add depth to the mid-distance events this year. Lastly, freshman Kaci Rex (pole vault) will be expected to supplement Navetta and Wolhaupter to give Coast Guard arguable their best trio of pole vaulters in Academy history.

In all the Bears seem primed for a breakout season as a team and could see numerous individuals come away with signifi cant accolades and awards. There is plenty of room for optimism about this year and the state of Coast Guard Track and Field. Putting together one of the most competitive schedules in school history should challenge this group of cadets to excel throughout both the indoor and outdoor seasons and prepare them for the championship portion of the slate.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICSDIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

TIM FITZPATRICKDIRECTOR OF ATHLETICSTHIRD YEAR

Tim Fitzpatrick just completed his second academic year as Director of Athletics at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, and on his watch the USCGA’s athletic program has seen growth in several key areas. In addition to securing a comprehensive, fi ve-year shoe and apparel agreement with adidas America for the academy’s 21 NCAA sports, has overseen a rebranding initiative that has resulted in new logos and marks and created an athletic booster organization (the U.S. Coast Guard Academy Bear Club). Under Fitzpatrick’s guidance, the department produced its fi rst-ever women’s professional development seminar (the Women’s LeadHERship Symposium) for female USCGA athletic staff members as well as attendees from colleges and universities throughout New England, and has launched an external program for sale of corporate sponsorships and partnerships.

Fitzpatrick was the Director of Athletics at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi for two years prior to his arrival at USCGA, after spending the previous four years as the Deputy Athletic Director at Indiana University. At Texas A&M – Corpus Christi, Fitzpatrick secured major gifts for construction of a new outdoor tennis center, as well as renovation of the university’s baseball and softball stadiums. He additionally served on the NCAA’s Division I Women’s Basketball Issues Committee while in south Texas, and executed a strategic plan which increased the department’s corporate sponsorship revenue by nearly 40%.

While at Indiana, he was responsible for internal administration of the department, oversaw capital construction and facilities management, and had oversight of the football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball programs. Additionally, Fitzpatrick managed IU’s external units, including marketing, ticket operations, licensing, merchandising, website, and publications.

Additionally, he negotiated a 6-year, $21,000,000 shoe and apparel agreement with adidas America and administered the Hoosiers’ multi-media partnerships with Learfi eld Sports and the Big Ten Network. During his tenure, Indiana realized a ticket sales revenue increase of 15-percent over annual budgeted projections.

Fitzpatrick came to IU after spending the previous fi ve years as COO and associate athletics director for external operations at the U.S. Military Academy. Fitzpatrick directed a fundraising eff ort that saw Army’s “A Club” donor base grow from 750 to 6,700 and annual giving grow from $500,000

to $1.8 million. He also cultivated the Army Sports Network from two radio stations to 18, including 50,000-watt ESPN 1050 in New York City. During his tenure at West Point, corporate sponsorship revenue jumped from $250,000 to $920,000 annually.

He arrived at West Point from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, where he served as the associate athletics director for external aff airs and executive director of the athletic foundation. Fitzpatrick’s work at Charlotte resulted in a 26-percent increase in annual gifts and a 39-percent increase in planned gifts.

Prior to Army and Charlotte, Fitzpatrick served in a similar role at the University of Pittsburgh. In addition to serving as the men’s basketball sport administrator, he directed a staff that generated a school record $1.4 million in sponsorship revenue and a $125,000 increase in annual giving.

Fitzpatrick was a senior associate athletics director at the University of North Texas from May 1994 to June 1996. He was instrumental in UNT’s transition from NCAA Division I-AA football to the Big West Conference, and during the 1994 football season, North Texas was one of three programs nationally to have every football game televised in its home market. This local television package generated more than $700,000 in corporate sponsorship revenue.

He gained considerable experience as Assistant Commissioner of the Southwest Conference from 1992-94. Fitzpatrick negotiated a $2.25 million, three-year men’s basketball tournament title sponsorship with the Dr. Pepper Company, and he also oversaw the league’s national and local television syndication eff orts.

Fitzpatrick began his athletic administration career as the assistant marketing director at Army before moving on to Virginia Commonwealth as the director of marketing and Ticket Sales (1984-87) and Assistant Athletics Director for Marketing and Public Relations from 1987-92.

A 1981 graduate of Hampden-Sydney College with a bachelor’s degree in English, Fitzpatrick earned his master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1982.

Tim is married to Kerry Marks, and they have a son, James.
