The United States Military Academy is renowned because of its historic and distinguished reputation as a military academy, and as a leading, progressive institution of higher education. Made legendary in books and movies produced over the years, the Academy’s “Long Gray Line” of graduates includes some of our nation’s most famous and infl uential men: Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, George S. Patton, Omar Bradley, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight Eisenhower and Norman Schwarzkopf.

Because of this superb education and leadership experience, West Point graduates historically have been sought for high level civilian and military leadership positions. Their numbers include two U.S. presidents, several ambassadors, state governors, legislators, judges, cabinet members, educators, astronauts and corporate executives.

Today, West Point continues to provide hundreds of young men and women the unique opportunity to develop physically, ethically and intellectually while building a foundation for an exciting, challenging and rewarding career as an Army offi cer in the service of our nation. Cadets have much more responsibility in running the Academy than students in most other colleges or universities. It adds to the leadership experience.

Cadets succeed at West Point because of the support they receive from the staff and faculty. After all, many faculty members are West Point graduates and understand the challenge cadets face on a daily basis. They also serve as ideal role models, showing cadets what Army life is like.

The U.S. Military Academy’s primary strength is its ability to develop leaders of character who are committed to “Duty, Honor, Country” and selfl ess service to our nation.

T The mission of the U.S. Military Academy is to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country; professional growth throughout a career as an offi cer in the U.S. Army; and a lifetime of selfl ess service to the Nation. Founded on March 16, 1802, the Academy celebrated its Bicentennial in 2002. But West Point’s role in America’s history dates to the Revolutionary War, when both sides realized the strategic importance of the commanding plateau on the west bank of the Hudson River. Gen. George Washington considered West Point to be the most strategic position in America. He personally selected Thaddeus Kosciuszko, one of the heroes of Saratoga, to design the fortifi cations in 1778 after problems arose with French engineers originally placed in charge of the design. In 1779, General Washington transferred his headquarters to West Point. Continental soldiers built forts, batteries and defensive barriers. A 100-ton iron chain was extended across the Hudson to control river traffi c. Today, several links from that chain are arranged at Trophy Point as a reminder of West Point’s original fortifi cations. In 1802 President Thomas Jefferson signed the legislation establishing the U.S. Military Academy to create an institution devoted to the arts and sciences of warfare. This effectively eliminated America’s wartime reliance on foreign engineers and artillerists. West Point became the nation’s fi rst engineering school and served as the model for engineering programs which were eventually established at other colleges. Col. Sylvanus Thayer, the “Father of the Military Academy,” served as Superintendent from 1817 through 1833. He upgraded academic standards, instilled military discipline and emphasized honorable conduct. Early graduates were largely responsible for the construction of the nation’s initial railway lines, bridges, harbors, and roads. Although the curriculum maintains its focus on engineering, in recent decades the program of instruction has markedly changed, providing cadets a selection of more than 40 majors. This tradition of academic and military excellence, guided by a demanding standard of moral and ethical conduct, remains the cornerstone of the West Point experience. It is said at West Point that “much of the history we teach was made by those people we taught.” The Academy has produced famous leaders throughout its illustrious past…Civil War Generals Grant, Sherman, Lee, and Jackson, to name but a few. In World War I, 34 of the 38 corps and division commanders were graduates. World War II would see many graduates reach brigadier general or higher, to include Eisenhower, MacArthur, Bradley and Patton. In more recent confl icts, MacArthur, Ridgway, Westmoreland, Abrams, Schwarzkopf and Abizaid were in command. Academy graduates have also excelled in air and space exploration, and countless others went on from military service to

become leaders in medicine, law, business, religion and science. Since its founding, the Military Academy fulfi lls the same mission as it always has . . . to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets. It accomplishes this mission by developing cadets in three essential areas: intellectual, physical and military. These developmental paths are balanced and fully integrated into the daily life of each young man and woman at the Academy. Intellectual growth is fostered through an academic curriculum that provides a broad liberal education in the arts and sciences. The electives program builds upon the foundation of the core, allowing cadets to develop even greater competence in selected areas. In addition, the fi elds-of-study and majors nurture the development of creativity, critical thinking, and self-directed learning, essential characteristics

of 21st century offi cers. The four-year academic experience leads to a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Army. Physical development is achieved through a rigorous athletic and physical education program. Each cadet participates at the intercollegiate, club or intramural level each semester. This readies the cadet for the physical demands of military life and helps teach good judgment and self-discipline, even while under mental and physical stress. Military development begins with the cadet’s fi rst day at West Point. Most military training takes place during the summer, with new cadets undergoing Cadet Basic Training, or Beast Barracks, their fi rst year, followed the second summer by Cadet Field Training. Cadets spend their third and fourth summers serving in active Army units around the world; attending specialty training such as airborne, air assault or northern warfare or helping to train the fi rst- and second-year cadets. The Cadet Leader Development System seeks to give the cadets increasing responsibility until they are ready to receive their commissions and assume their duties as leaders in today’s Army. Moral and ethical values guide cadets throughout their four years at West Point. Commitment to the Academy’s “Bedrock Values,” based on integrity and respect for the dignity of others, begins on the fi rst day. Integrity is refl ected in the Cadet Honor Code which states: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or

tolerate those who do.” Respect denotes that cadets treat others with the same respect and dignity they themselves

would expect. At West Point, it is not enough to train leaders—they must be leaders of character.

Admission is keenly competitive and is open to young men and women from all states and

territories and from every socioeconomic level. Prospective cadets must receive a

nomination by a member of Congress or from the Department of the Army. The

Academy seeks candidates who possess records of success in academics, athletics and leadership indicative of well-rounded individuals. Although the life of a cadet is demanding, there remains an array of club activities ranging from golf, skiing, boxing, crew and orienteering to such organizations as the cadet radio station, Habitat for Humanity and Big Brothers-Big Sisters. Additionally, the U.S. Corps of Cadets hosts a Special Olympics event each spring. Today’s Military Academy is a vastly different institution from the small academy legislated into being by

Congress in 1802. Originally just 1,800 acres, the Academy has grown to more than 16,000 acres. The fi rst graduating class numbered just two men; today’s classes graduate more than 900 new offi cers annually, both men and

women, who are prepared for leadership roles within the Army. With the expansion of knowledge and the changing needs of the United States Army and the nation, life at West Point has changed to keep pace. Ever mindful of its rich heritage, the U.S. Military Academy is developing leaders for tomorrow,

and its focus remains the national needs of the 21st century. 3

“From the birth of our existence, America has had a faith in the future -- a belief that where we’re going is better than where we’ve been, even when the path ahead is uncertain. To fulfi ll that promise, generations of Americans have built upon the foundation of our forefathers -- fi nding opportunity, fi ghting injustice, forging a more perfect union. Our achievement would not be possible without the Long Gray Line that has sacrifi ced for duty, for honor, for country.”- PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

“I believe in the code ... ‘Duty, Honor, Country.’ I believe in service to one’s country. The institution of the armed forces has thrived on its commitment to developing excellence. It is meritocracy in action. Race, religion, wealth, background count not.”- PRESIDENT GEORGE H.W. BUSH

“You have ahead of you the best of all professions. Being a leader is the best thing you can possibly be and you’re at a school that will make you the best possible leader. West Point is the ring. It’s the foundation of everything I have done.”- HEAD COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI

“I was so proud to be on the verge of entering the only institution in American society at that time that was totally integrated, in which I would have the opportunity to rise, based solely on performance and ability. The nation always looks to West Point and always looks to each and every one of you to follow always the angels of your nature.”- GENERAL COLIN POWELL

BORMAN KIMBROUGHGRANT HAIG KIMSEY SCHWARZKOPF

Robert E. Lee ’29 The Academy’s ninth Superintendent (1852-55), Lee was a model cadet during his four years at West Point. He graduated second in his class and never earned a single demerit during his four years at the Academy. At the beginning of the Civil War, he was selected to serve as Commanding General of the Army, but instead resigned his commission and was named General-In-Chief of the Confederate Army from 1861 to 1865. Lee’s surrender to Ulysses S. Grant (USMA 1843), at Appomattox Court House, Va., ended the Civil War. Fort Lee, Va., was named in his honor.

Ulysses S. Grant ’43 Grant distinguished himself during the Civil War at the Battle of Vicksburg in 1863; his victory secured control of the Mississippi River for the Union. President Abe Lincoln later appointed him Commanding General of the Army in March 1864. On April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House, Va., Robert E. Lee (USMA 1829) surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to him, ending the Civil War. Grant later served as the 18th President of the United States from 1869 to 1877. Today, his image graces the $50 bill.

George W. Goethals ’80 Goethals became an architect and was builder of the Panama Canal, 1904 to 1914.

John J. Pershing ’86 Considered the second most senior offi cer in Army history, behind only George Washington, Pershing served as commander of the American Expeditionary Force during World War I.

George S. Patton Jr. ’09 “Old Blood and Guts,” Patton was one of the most colorful commanders in the Army. During World War II the famed commander of the 2nd Armored Division and later the Third Army displayed courage and daring as prominently as the pair of ivory handled revolvers he wore. Patton accomplished one of the most remarkable feats in military history in December 1944, when he quickly turned the Third Army northward to reinforce the Allied southern fl ank against the German attack in the Battle of the Bulge. The General’s doctrine of aggressive employment of massive armor forces continue to prove themselves in combat arenas around the world.

Omar N. Bradley ’15 During his career, Bradley earned a reputation as one of the best infantry commanders in World War II. He commanded the 82nd Airborne and 28th Infantry Divisions before going on to command the 1st Army and the 12th Army Group. After the war he served as Army Chief of Staff from 1948 to 1949 and served as the fi rst Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1949 to 1953. He was the last Army offi cer to be promoted to General of the Army (fi ve stars), and the Bradley fi ghting vehicle is named in his honor.

Dwight D. Eisenhower ’15 During World War II, Eisenhower served as Supreme Commander of Allied Forces Europe from 1943 to 1944, during which he led the D-Day invasion of Europe. During that time, he was promoted to General of the Army (fi ve stars). After the war, he served as Army Chief of Staff from 1945 to 1948 and was named President of Columbia University in 1948.

Fidel V. Ramos ’50 One of the Academy’s international cadets, Ramos served as a Philippine Army offi cer after graduation. He eventually became the country’s military Chief of Staff and later Secretary of National Defense. He also served as President of the Republic of the Philippines from 1992 to 1998.

Edwin E. Aldrin ’51 An astronaut from 1963 to 1972, Aldrin participated in the fi rst manned lunar landing with Michael Collins (USMA ’52) and was the second man to walk on the moon.

Edward White ’52 An astronaut from 1962 to 1967, White was the fi rst man to walk in space and was one of the three astronauts killed in the Apollo I disaster in 1967.

H. Norman Schwarzkopf ’56 As Commander-in-Chief, United States Central Command from 1988 to 1991, Schwarzkopf’s command ultimately responded to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait with the largest U.S. deployment since the Vietnam War, including portions of the Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps as well as units from dozens of nations around the world. After retiring, Schwartzkopf received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Peter M. Dawkins ’59 Dawkins was Cadet Brigade Commander (First Captain of the U.S. Corps of Cadets) as a senior and became the third Heisman Trophy winner in Army football history. He later served as chairman and CEO of Primerica.

James V. Kimsey ’62 Kimsey was the founding chairman of America Online, and was named chairman emeritus in 1996. He founded the Kimsey Foundation in 1996.

Michael W. Krzyzewski ’69 Krzyzewski served as head basketball coach at West Point from 1974 to 1979 before assuming similar duties at Duke University. Krzyzewski has led the Blue Devils to three national championships and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in October 2001. He coached the U.S. at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

Raymond T. Odierno ‘76 Odierno commanded the 4th Infantry Division during the fall of 2003 which, along with Special Forces units, captured Saddam Hussein in December of that year. Odierno helped plan and coordinate the raid that netted Iraq’s fallen dictator.

Robert S. Kimbrough ’89 Kimbrough was named one of 11 new astronaut candidates by NASA in May 2004. Kimbrough ranks among Army Baseball’s career leaders in saves. A veteran of Desert Storm, he currently works for NASA in Houston as a fl ight simulation engineer and is scheduled to participate in a space shuttle mission this fall.

DEAN OF THEACADEMIC BOARD

United States Military Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. David H. Huntoon Jr., named the person selected to lead West Point’s intercollegiate athletic department today when he announced the hiring of Boo Corrigan as the Academy’s director of athletics.

Corrigan, who has been the senior associate athletic director for external affairs

at Duke University since August 2008, brings a wealth of leadership to his new post. He is a proven administrator with 18 years of experience in all areas of revenue generation, external affairs, staff management and leadership.

Corrigan’s chief responsibilities at Duke have included the oversight of the Blue Devil corporate partnerships and the Marketing, Promotions, Ticket, Internet Operations, Sports Information and Video Services departments. In only two years at Duke, Corrigan has been responsible for the negotiation of multi-media rights to ISP, which increased annual rights more than 40 percent.

“First and foremost, I am honored to have the opportunity to work at the United States Military Academy, the West Point leadership and the U.S. Army,” Corrigan said. “It is my privilege to serve those proud Americans that serve our country and to be at the greatest leadership institution in the world.

“I want to say specifi cally to our cadet-athletes that we will provide them the opportunity and the wherewithal to achieve to their highest ability and to provide our coaches with the opportunity to win championships, and build leaders of character. We will strive for our cadets to achieve great success in their academics, military training and athletic endeavors.”

Army operates a 25-sport intercollegiate athletic program, highlighted by its nationally recognized football team. Under the direction of head coach Rich Ellerson the Black Knights fi nished 7-6 this season and closed the season with a win over SMU in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl.

A supervisor of the 2009 NCAA Champion women’s tennis and 2010 NCAA Champion men’s lacrosse programs, Corrigan has been a part of three NCAA Championships at Duke in just two seasons. He is currently a member of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Rules committee and the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Lacrosse Committee, while serving on the Executive Budget Committee at Duke.

Prior to arriving at Duke in August of 2008, he oversaw Notre Dame’s corporate relations and marketing as an associate athletic director for fi ve years. During his stint at Notre Dame, Corrigan spearheaded the redesign of its offi cial athletics website and creation of 15-20 hours of original video content weekly. That resulted in a 35 percent increase in page views and unique users. Corrigan also worked directly with ISP Sports, CSTV, and NBC Sports from a sales and marketing standpoint.

“We are excited about the selection of Boo Corrigan to be Army’s athletic director,” Huntoon said. “He has wide experience in helping to lead a Division I athletic department and has excelled at the highest levels. He brings to the Military Academy a wealth of experience at some of the nation’s elite athletic programs.”

Before joining the staff at Notre Dame, Corrigan spent nearly three years as the associate athletic director for marketing at the United States Naval Academy. He was responsible for turning the marketing department from a defi cit to profi t in his fi rst year with full budget responsibility for the department. Corrigan also was intimately involved with the re-branding of the Annual Giving Campaign (The Blue and Gold), which led to an increase of 75 percent year over year donations.

He previously spent a year as a partner in Corrigan Sports Enterprises, an entrepreneurial sports marketing company, in the Baltimore area -- and also worked two years as an equity partner in mrgoodbucks.com, an e-commerce program that involved creation of affi nity business relationships.

Corrigan also served two years as vice president of EMCEE Sports, a Baltimore-based sports marketing company with a focus on professional golf from 1997 through ‘99. In that role, he was responsible for a $2.5 million operating budget for the State Farm Senior Classic. He worked for Host Communications for two years, helping create relationships with various college and university athletic departments, and served as assistant director of marketing at Florida State from 1992-95.

ILITIES: SHEA STA

DIU

MConsidered one of the fi nest track venues on the East Coast, Shea Stadium includes an eight-lane Southwest all-weather surface designed with capabilities to set up sprints in either direction. Six jumping pits and six vault boxes face every direc-tion, allowing jumpers to always enjoy the most favorable winds. The stadium boasts a great surface for racing that is well cushioned and resiliant enough for daily training to minimize chance of injury. Shea also possesses two shot put circles and sectors, two Olympic-size hammer and discus cages, and a Southwest all-weather surfaced javelin runway.

Located along the banks of the Hudson River, Shea Stadium is also equipped with two functional locker rooms and an athletic training facility. The playing fi eld features an AstroTurf surface surrounded by the eight-lane all-weather track. At night, the impressive facility is illuminated by seven television-quality lightstacks. Improvements to the seating area were completed in the summer of 2000 along with the installation of two modest press boxes servicing both track and fi eld competitions as well as sprint football and lacrosse matches.

Shea Stadium was named in honor of Richard Shea, one of West Point’s fi nest athletes and soldiers. A 1952 graduate, Shea enlisted in the Army in 1944 and served as a staff sergeant in the 53rd Constabulary Regiment in Nuremberg, Germany. A native of Portsmouth, Va., he did not compete in cross country until entering the Army, but went on to win the European 1500-meter and 5000m championships.

Shea entered West Point in 1948, served as a cadet captain and was the recipient of the Army Athletic Association Trophy presented to the top senior athlete. He won 16 major intercollegiate middle distance and cross country championships and set seven indoor and outdoor Academy track records. He also qualifi ed for the 1952 Olympic Games in the 10,000m competition.

Shea was assigned to Korea following graduation and died in action on July 8, 1953, at Sokkogae, trying to repel Commu-nist “suicide attacks” during the Korean Confl ict. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for wartime bravery, the 77th Medal of Honor awarded during the Korean War.

Knut Hjeltnes, a veteran of four Olympic Games, resumes control of the Army throwers for an 11th year.

Hjeltnes’ Olympic experience was culminated with a fourth-place fi nish in the discus for the Norwegian national team at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, Calif. in the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, Canada, and the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, Hjeltnes was able to garner seventh-place fi nishes.

The Norway native also qualifi ed for the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow, Russia, but unfortunately for Hjeltnes, Norway took part in the boycott of the Olympic Games that year. During his competitive career, Hjeltnes established 11 Norwegian records and captured 20 Norwegian championships.

Since arriving at West Point, throwers under his guidance have won 39 Patriot League Championships, set fi ve Academy records and now dominate the top-10 performers lists for both the Army men’s and women’s Olympic throwing events. Hjeltnes also developed three All-American performances, including Adam Burke’s back-to-back All-America campaigns in the javelin in 2003 and 2004 and Brian Gebhardt’s stellar 2000 season in the weight throw.

Additionally, Hjeltnes has developed several other NCAA Qualifi ers, including two 35 lbs. weight throwers, two hammer throwers and one discus thrower, while developing three javelin U.S. Junior National Qualifi ers in Marcus Canty, Mike Nulk and Jason Smartt.

Hjeltnes’ athletes have been just as successful in the classroom as they have been on the fi eld. Senior captain and javelin thrower Kevin Kumlien was named an Academic All-American and Patriot League Scholar Athlete of the Year for the 2007-08 season, while discus and shot put athlete Caleb Wells earned the same honors after the 2005-06 season.

A 1978 graduate of Brigham Young University, Hjeltnes returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach for the Cougars from 1982-1984. While coaching at BYU, Hjeltnes earned his master’s degree in Professional Leadership and Exercise Science.

In 2009, Kalinowski coached ECAC-qualifi er Tonya Stallard to a Patriot League title in the 60-meter hurdles. Stallard moved to sixth all-time at Army in that event and second all-time in the 100 meter hurdles.

Kalinowski came to West Point from Coastal Carolina University where she served as an assistant coach. While at CCU, Kalinowski volunteered with the Myrtle Beach Track and Field Club in its inaugural year.

As a student-athlete at Lafayette, Kalinowski was a standout member of the Leopards’ track & fi eld teams. An All-League recipient on several occasions, Kalinowski won fi ve Patriot League titles in the high jump and combined events. She remains on Lafayette’s top-10 lists in six events. Kalinowski also garnered Patriot League Scholar Athlete laurels during her career and was selected to serve as a team captain in each of her fi nal four seasons.

The cross country season, preseason summer training, the 2010 outdoor season, the 2010 indoor season, the past two decades. However recently or far back you want to look, the Army track and fi eld teams have been riding a wave of successful momentum which they hope to continue in 2011.

The 2011 indoor season was preceded by a cross country season which revealed a number of strengths for the Black Knights and culminated in a series of victories. Joining Army’s consistently strong men’s middle distance and distance contingent on the track will be 2010 cross country standouts senior Bryce Livingston and juniors Mike Mitchell and Barrett LeHardy. First team All-Patriot League member Livingston earned Army’s top fi nish in six of seven meets this past fall, while Mitchell and LeHardy constantly rounded out the Black Knights’ top three.

On the women’s side, junior Marcie Nordt fi nished the season recording Army’s top fi nish in each of the fi nal fi ve meets, garnering second team All-Patriot League honors to conclude 2010. Nordt and senior captain Courtney Clement provided a one-two punch for the women’s cross country squad, leading them to a notable Star Meet win at Navy in October.

The Black Knights got a boost from newcomers in freshmen Liz O’Donnell, Katie Collins and Alexis Salmon. O’Donnell was crowned Rookie of the Meet at the 2010 Patriot League Cross Country Championships, while Collins and Salmon were consistent point-earners for Army

in their fi rst seasons of collegiate competition. The veteran leadership, as well as fresh faces, pushed the Black Knights to their fi rst win at Navy since 2004.

Head coach Troy Engle hopes the successful cross country season will translate into a thriving track

and fi eld season, specifi cally in the middle distance and distance events. “Understanding we had some major losses in the middle distance, specifi cally in the

graduations of Andy Ferrara and Andrew Tingan, we’ve had a number of guys just waiting in the wings for the opportunity to step in and be successful,” said Engle. “Bryce had an exceptional cross country season and Mike Mitchell is healthy, along with Chris Wagner, Tom Meyer and Chris Jones.

“For the women, the cross country season really did provide a good outlook for our distance unit. The additions of Liz and Katie will be infl uential in the mile, while Cecelia Forshee, Jessica Letarte and Chelsea Prahl will be competitive on a conference level in the 1,500-meters.”

Nordt, who qualifi ed for the World Triathlon, will be splitting her time between Army’s triathlon team and the track team.

For the men, without question, the strongest division is in hurdles and jumps. Senior Domonick Sylve, who will captain the outdoor team, returns after a record-breaking year in 2010. Sylve set Army records in the 55- and 110-meter hurdles, collected his third consecutive Patriot League 110-meter hurdles title and fi rst in the 55, earned Patriot League Track Athlete of the Week honors six times, and advanced to the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Ore., after fi nishing third in the 110 at the Regional Championships. The senior is poised to extend his hold of the Patriot League hurdles titles as well as make an impact on the national level.

Senior Alfred McDaniel and juniors Frederick Beebe, Michael Hutchins and Tom Wagner headline the jumping contingent. McDaniel, a six-time Patriot League champion, is the veteran of the bunch. Wagner and Hutchins fi nished one-two, respectively, in the high jump at the 2010 indoor league championships, while Beebe fi nished runner-up in the triple jump.

McDaniel also leads a group of sprinters who enter the season as somewhat of an unknown for the Black

Knights. Many of Army’s 60- and 100-meter men are transitioning from an Armed Forces Bowl-winning Army football season which ended just eight days prior to the slated start of the indoor track and fi eld season. S o p h o m o r e football players Brian Cobbs and

Kyler Martin all competed at last season’s outdoor championship, with Cobbs teaming with Sylve and McDaniel to take fi rst in the 4x100-meter relay.

In the longer sprints, senior captain Chris Michels will anchor the effort with the potential to be the top 400-meter man in the Patriot League, as well as newcomer Chris Smith.

Despite not having much practice time with his multiple-sport athletes, Engle feels confi dent in his group of hurdlers and sprinters, especially in his young cadet-athletes. “Freshman Clint Hepworth comes to West Point after establishing himself as one of the top hurdlers in Arizona, while Nigel Liefveld and Mathias Green also have the ability to make an instant impact.”

Engle is also confi dent in the hurdlers and jumpers on the women’s side. “Tonya Stallard and Kaitlyn Love will be a dangerous one-two punch in the hurdles,” said Engle. Stallard, a senior, won the 2010 Patriot League indoor 60-meter hurdles title, while Love, a sophomore, will be competing in her fi rst full season with the track team after spending a year with the Army volleyball team.

The women’s jumping squad will be a three-pronged attack comprised of senior LaShaunda Dupree, junior Jari Ross and sophomore McKenzie Majchrzak, which Engle describes as “exceptional”. Ross won the league indoor triple jump title in 2009, while Majchrzak had a breakout freshman year which included four Patriot League Rookie of the Week citations and Rookie of the Meet honors at the outdoor conference championships after capturing the high jump crown.

Seniors will dominate the pole vault as Hallie Huggins and captain Kaci Clark will look to continue the successes of 2010. Clark and Huggins took two of the top-three spots at last season’s outdoor league championships and two of the top-four at the indoors.

The women’s team is a little thinner in the sprinting unit compared to the men’s side. Senior Carissa Hauck, who will captain the outdoor team, has the potential to be one of the top long sprinters in the conference and will be counted on to lead the group. “In sprints, we’re a little short on numbers,” said Engle. “It’s an area we’ll defi nitely need to focus on and need people to step up.”

The success of the throwing units for both the men and women are the most diffi cult to predict for 2011. The men’s side was hit the hardest by graduation, including the loss of Patriot League discus champion Kurt Bujewski. The women will be led by junior Victoria Carpenter who is still young in terms of experience, while the men will look to sophomore Scott Geary and junior Grady Davis. Davis fi nished second in the discus at the 2010 Patriot League Outdoor Championships.

“There’s an enthusiasm for both the men and women even with the understanding that we’ve had some major losses throughout the teams due to graduation,” said Engle. “The great leadership that last year’s seniors provided will be missed, but because of where we are it can be replaced. West Point is the best leadership institution in the world.

“Our goal is pretty simple: we want to repeat on the men’s side and improve upon the women’s fi nish from a year ago.”

The Army men captured their 14th indoor Patriot League title last season, including their second in a row. The women’s fi fth-place fi nish was their lowest fi nish in 17

HIS

TORY

Shortly after Grover Cleveland began his second term as President of the 44-state nation, the track and fi eld program at West Point was born. With the dream of the fi rst modern Olympic Games still a twinkle in the eye of the Baron Pierre de Coubertin, track and fi eld competition began at the United States Military Academy in the spring of 1893, three years after baseball and football were established as offi cial athletic activities for the Corps of Cadets.

THE BEGINNINGS The importance of the fi rst Army-Navy football game in developing athletics — and certainly track and fi eld — at West Point is clear. Losing to the Midshipmen in that opening game in 1890 made the members of the Corps, as well as staff and faculty, work that much harder to change that result. Thus, the stage was set for the establishment of other sports at the Academy. In 1893 it was called “Field Day.” Track and fi eld competition was held between the classes. At fi rst, Field Day consisted of teams of fi ve competitors from each class. The Class of 1896 was the inaugural winner and received a banner from the Army Offi cers Athletic Association. One year after the fi rst Field Day was held, the rules of the competition were changed, allowing two competitors from each class in each event. During the fi rst competition, all athletes were required to compete in all events. The change brought instant improvement in the performances. A spring Field Day remained a fi xture of the athletic schedule at West Point, and later a winter competition was added as well.

GREAT TEAMS AND GREAT COACHESIntercollegiate track and fi eld competition began in

1921 when Army defeated Tufts 93-33. The fi rst coach was Lt. Elmer Q. Oliphant, a former two-time All-American halfback for the Army football team (1916-17) and a National Football Foundation Hall of Fame selection in 1955. Oliphant coached the track team for two years, leading them to an unblemished 3-0 record the second season. After a two-year stint by Lt. Eugene L. Vidal, the Athletic Association turned to Leo Novak to establish a solid program. Novak, who also coached basketball at West Point, laid the foundation for Army’s traditionally strong outdoor program. Novak led the track squad to 22 straight victories over the course of four seasons. He spent 25 years at the Academy, compiling a 96-24 record before resigning at the close of the 1949 season. He also established an indoor

track program in 1942, going 11-2 before wrapping up his coaching career in 1949. Novak’s outdoor squads won four Heptagonal Championships, one Nonagonal title and fi nished fi rst at the IC4A Championships three times. His Army teams also had two second-place fi nishes at the IC4A meet, along with a second and a third at the national AAU Championships. Jess Mortensen, a former world-record decathlete and NCAA javelin champion at Southern California, succeeded Novak and served as cross country and track coach in 1950 and 1951. His fi rst cross country team fi nished with a 7-1 record, won the Heptagonal Championship and took runner-up honors at the IC4A meet. Mortensen’s indoor track teams posted identical 4-0 records during his two-year stint, and his 1951 squad won the indoor Heps. Carleton Crowell succeeded Mortensen and continued Army’s long string of success on the track. Crowell guided Army teams to 351 victories and a dozen Heptagonal championships — fi ve indoors, three outdoors and four in cross country. All but one indoor and outdoor track and fi eld record was shattered during his 25-year tenure. Crowell suffered a fatal heart attack on September 5, 1975, at the age of 62. Capt. Mel Pender, a former Olympian serving as an assistant at West Point, coached the 1975-76 indoor team and the 1976 outdoor unit. Then John Randolph, former head track and cross country coach at William & Mary, was named the head coach. Randolph remained at the Academy for three seasons before accepting a similar position at Florida. While at Army, Randolph accumulated a 28-2-1 record indoors and a 14-3 outdoor mark. In 1979, the women’s track and fi eld team made its debut, compiling a 6-2 record under Capt. Chuck Hunsaker, who went 14-3 in three seasons at West Point. Sue Kellett captained that inaugural squad, which defeated Barnard 82-13 in its fi rst meet. During their fi rst season, the Black Knights fi nished third at the New York State Championships. Army won the New York State AIAW Division III title in 1981 and took runner-up honors a year later. That same year, 1982, Army fi nished fi rst in the Division III championship meet and third at the national championships. Ron Bazil, head track coach at Adelphi, succeeded Randolph on the men’s side in 1980 and Craig Sherman on the women’s side in 1983. During a splendid 16-year stint at Army, Bazil joined Carleton Crowell as one of only six coaches to win 300 contests in any men’s or women’s sport at West Point. Bazil guided the Army men’s and women’s programs

ISTORY

into the Patriot League era in 1992, bringing home 18 championship trophies during his tenure at West Point. In 1994, his men’s indoor track team posted a perfect 5-0 record and placed second at Heptagonals. He also led the Army women to four Hep crowns and seven league titles, while developing 14 male and female All-Americans. When Bazil departed for Tulane following the 1994-95 season, Director of Athletics Al Vanderbush turned to veteran Jerry Quiller, a former national cross country “Coach of the Year” at the University of Colorado and a

well-known fi gure on the international track and cross country scene. Quiller, who served as an assistant coach on the 2000 U.S. Olympic team in Sydney, Australia, guided the Army men’s and women’s cross country and track teams to 37 Patriot League titles in 13 seasons on the job. He won a Patriot League title in either cross country or track and fi eld in each of his 13 years at the Academy and was named the Patriot League “Coach

of the Year” an astounding 22 times. As one of the most successful coaches in Army history, ‘Q’ went out on top, coaching the women’s team to their fi rst outdoor Patriot League title in 10 years and earning 2008 Women’s Outdoor Track Coach of the Year honors from the Patriot League. He also earned one last trip to the NCAA Championships as distance runner John Mickowski advanced to the national competition under his leadership. A new era begins this season with the arrival of Troy Engle as the head coach of both the track and fi eld and cross country teams. Engle, who previously served as an assistant coach for Army in two separate stints under both Bazil and Quiller in the mid-90’s, brings a tremendous amount of collegiate and international coaching experience to West Point. Just prior to arriving at Army, Engle led the U.S. Paralympic track and fi eld team at the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing. His efforts led to an improvement in the team’s medal count, placing the Americans second to only the host nation.

THE ATHLETES Recruiting is the lifeblood of any successful program, and Army’s legendary coaches have brought in many outstanding individual performers throughout the long history of the sport. Perhaps the most famous was George S. Patton, Class of 1909, who starred on the Army track and fi eld team and later competed in the modern pentathlon at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm. One of the fi nest West Point athletes was Richard Shea, a 1952 USMA graduate. Shea enlisted in the Army in 1944 and served as a staff sergeant in the 53rd Constabulary Regiment in Nuremberg, Germany. A native of Portsmouth, Va., he did not compete in cross country until entering the Army, but he went on to win the European 1,500 and 5,000-meter championships.

Shea entered West Point in 1948, served as a cadet captain and was the recipient of the Army Athletic Association Trophy presented to the top senior athlete. He won 16 major intercollegiate middle distance and cross country championships and set seven indoor and outdoor Academy track records. He also qualifi ed for the 1952 Olympic Games in the 10,000. Shea was assigned to Korea following graduation and died in action on July 8, 1953, at Sokkogae, trying to repel Communist “suicide attacks” during the Korean Confl ict. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for wartime bravery, the 77th Medal of Honor awarded during the Korean War. West Point’s outdoor track and fi eld facility — Shea Stadium — is dedicated in his honor. Edwin E. “Buzz” Aldrin Jr., the former NASA astronaut who was the Lunar Module Pilot for the Apollo 11 fl ight that completed the fi rst manned Moon landing in 1969, competed in track at West Point. During his last year, 1951, Aldrin fi nished second in the pole vault at the IC4A Championships, clearing 13-6. His career best was 13-8, just 1/8 of an inch shy of the Academy record at that time. Another noted astronaut, Ed White, scored in the 400 hurdles at the NCAA Championships in 1952. White became the fi rst American to walk in space in June of 1965. Tragically, he was killed on Jan. 27, 1967, in a fi re during a prefl ight test on what would have become the Apollo 1 mission. In 1960, Army track and fi eld’s Ron Zinn became the fi rst to compete in the Olympics while still a cadet, placing 19th in the 20-kilometer walk at the Rome games. Zinn competed again in the 1964 Olympic Games, held in Tokyo, delivering one of the fi nest performances by an American in the 20k walk by placing sixth. Tragically, he was killed in action in Vietnam on July 7, 1965, as a fi rst lieutenant. Since 1977, USA Track and Field has awarded the Captain Ron Zinn Memorial Award annually to the top race walker in the country. Another of Army’s outstanding competitors was Bill Straub, a 1964 graduate. Straub shared the 5,000 championship at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in his senior year. The native of nearby Mt. Kisco, N.Y., fi nished in a dead heat with Jim Murphy of Air Force at Eugene, Ore. Straub, whose time of 14 minutes, 12.3 seconds set an NCAA Championship meet record, is the only male Army runner to win a national title in the history of the program. Curt Alitz, the son of former Army wrestling coach LeRoy Alitz, is considered another of Army’s fi nest distance men.

TORY

An All-American in cross country, Alitz was also successful on the track. In 1978 he won the 10,000 at the Heptagonal Championships and the two-mile run at the IC4A meet. In 1977, he captured the Penn Relays 10-kilometer as well as the 3,000 steeplechase and the 5,000 at Heps. Alitz, who broke fi ve Academy standards gained All-American honors twice indoors in the three-mile and three times outdoors — twice in the 10,000 and once more in the 5,000. His mark on the Academy’s athletic history was recognized in 2008 when he was inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame. A former Army Athletic Association Award recipient and a two-time Heptagonal Champion, Dennis Trujillo also earned All-American citations in the indoor two-mile run and the outdoor three-mile event in 1975. He and Alitz established a tradition of excellence for Army distance teams that has remained one of the best in the East. Cardell Williams earned a pair of All-American certifi cates in the 800m during the 1983 season, and Tom Szoka did the same two years later. Tyno Carter was All-American in the 5,000 in 1988, and Jason Stewart, Mike Bernstein and Dan Browne were all among the nation’s best distance runners in the mid-1990’s. In 1994, Stewart earned the rare distinction of copping All-American honors in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track, placing as high as third in the 5,000 at the 1994 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Browne earned outdoor All-American honors in the 5,000 in 1996 and the 10,000 in 1997. He seemed headed toward a possible national title during his senior campaign before suffering a disappointing leg injury. During a remarkable three-week stretch in the winter, Browne shattered Academy indoor records in three different events — the mile, the 3,000 and the 5,000 — at three different meets. In Army’s dual meet win over Navy, he became the fi rst Cadet ever to run a sub four-minute mile, clocking a 3:59.31. In 1998, Browne was named “Runner of the Year” by Runner’s World magazine and in 2004 he competed in the Olympic Games held in Athens. Browne’s achievements place him as one of the best athletes in the history of the U.S. Military Academy, as in 2005 he was part of the second class ever inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame.

Hammer thrower Gerald Ingalls, a former walk-on who went on to break Army records and earn All-America recognition in the 35-pound weight and hammer throws, joined Stewart and Browne at the 1996 U.S. Olympic Trials in Atlanta. Ingalls reached the fi nals of that prestigious event and placed fourth overall. Ingalls was selected as an alternate on the 2000 Olympic team, fi nishing fourth during those trials.

One of the fi nest athletes to pass through West Point’s iron gates in quite some time was 1997 graduate Jon Pontius, who shattered the Academy record in the decathlon and earned a trip to the NCAA Championships in that demanding event. Pontius placed 12th at NCAAs in 1997 while boasting the top javelin throw in the competition. The class of 2002 gave Army three outstanding distance runners in Will Wyche, Clint Tisserand and Clay Schwabe. In 2001, Wyche became just the fourth runner in the history of the Patriot League to capture the individual conference title twice, while Tisserand ended his junior season as an NCAA provisional qualifi er in the steeplechase. Schwabe, considered one of the fi nest distance runners in the history of the United States Military Academy, became an NCAA All-American in the 1,500 in 2001. That same season he took his talents to the international level, where he fi nished sixth in the 1,500 at the U.S. Track and Field Championships. Schwabe also shattered the school record in the mile, joining Browne as the only Army harriers to ever eclipse the elusive four-minute barrier. Plebes Tracy Hanlon and Alma Cobb became the fi rst Army women to earn All-American recognition in track and fi eld in 1981. Hanlon placed sixth in the long jump at the nationals with a leap of 17-8 ¾, while Cobb was fourth in the shot put with a toss of 42-6. Hanlon and Cobb repeated those successes in 1982. Cobb was fi fth in the discus (132-3) and fi rst in the heptathlon (4,895 points), while Hanlon won the long jump event with a top mark of 19-3, which stood for several years as the Academy and meet record. Also in 1982, Army’s Ann Buckingham took third in the high jump, and the mile relay quartet of Teresa Southworth, B u c k i n g h a m , Michelle Walla and Mary List won a national championship with a time of 4:01.12. In 1983, Hanlon became an All-American at the NCAA Division II Championships by fi nishing second in

ISTORY

the heptathlon with 5,402 points. She was also second in 1984 and fi fth in the Division I heptathlon with 5,550 points, which still remains the Academy record today. In 1986, Pam Pearson gained All-American honors at the NCAA Division II meet in the long jump and triple jump, while Teresa Sobiesk — perhaps the greatest female distance runner in Academy history — was fourth in the 5,000 to earn her fi rst All-America plaque. Sobiesk, a 1989 graduate, still owns fi ve Army records — three outdoors and two indoors. Pearson owns the rare distinction of being a two-time All-American in two different sports — track and basketball. Pearson and Cobb have since been inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame. Sobiesk, a 2010 inductee into the Army Sports Hall

of Fame, starred on one of the fi nest Army squads of all-time, the 1988 team that boasted fi ve All-Americans and placed eighth as a team at the national c h a m p i o n s h i p s . Sobiesk won the NCAA title in the 5,000 and also placed sixth in the 10k. Kim Seminiano (long jump), Sigrun Denny (3,000) and Lisa Benitez (10,000) also earned All-American plaudits.One of Army’s fi nest women’s track and fi eld athletes of all-time was 1990 grad Diana Wills.

A 12-time All-American long and triple jumper, Wills earned a spot on

the 1996 Olympic squad in the triple jump after fi nishing third at the Olympic Trials. Wills shattered Academy records in the triple jump both indoors (43-3) and outdoors (44-11 ¾), as well as in the outdoor long jump (20- ½). An eight-time Heptagonal champion (four long jump, four triple jump), Wills is also a member of the Academy record-setting sprint medley relay. From 1988-90, she won four Division II national titles in the triple jump (three outdoors, one indoors), and she even earned three All-American citations at the Division I level. Her remarkable accomplishments made her a member of fi rst class ever inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame in 2004. Browne was joined by Anita Allen ’00 on the U.S. Olympic team at the 2004 Athens Games. Browne qualifi ed for a pair of events, the 10,000-meter run and the marathon. A two-time All-American, Browne was the fi rst American to cross the fi nish line in the 10K, placing 12th overall. He fi nished 65th in the marathon. Allen, meanwhile, competed in the modern pentathlon, where she won the equestrian discipline and fi nished 18th out of 32 competitors. Patriot League champion and Army relay record holding Lorenzo Smith is the most recent track and fi eld graduate to compete in the Olympics. He competed in the 2006 Torino games in the bobsled.

Sprinter and hurdler Yolanda McCray was also dominant in the Patriot League throughout her Army career. The rest of the conference was probably glad to see her graduate in 1998 after she captured the conference title in the 100 hurdles four consecutive years. In 2002, McCray was joined by javelin thrower Susan Warnick as the only Army competitors to win four consecutive titles at the conference championships in their respective events. Army’s last two-time All-American was javelin thrower Adam Burke. Burke won the Patriot League title in both 2003 and 2004, advancing to the NCAA Championships in both years and placing ninth and 11th, respectively. He set the Army javelin throw record of 236-4 in his fi nal outing at the 2004 NCAA Championships. The most recent Army participant in the NCAA championships was 2008 graduate John Mickowski. Mickowski became the fi rst Army track and fi eld athlete to win the Regional championships, when he surprised the fi eld with a stellar run in the 1500m. Army’s men have continued to shine at the Patriot League Championships. Army ran its streak of consecutive outdoor titles to 16 while also adding a 12th indoor title in 2007, giving the Black Knights 28 total championships in 34 attempts to date since joining the league. Their impressive

outdoor streak ended with a second place fi nish in 2008, but the women’s team came through to win their eighth Patriot League outdoor title. Additionally, distance runner Jonathan Anderson and sprinter Ebony Thomas both claimed the Outstanding Track Athlete of the Meet honors, continuing the long history of star cadet-athletes in the Hudson Valley. The men claimed back-to-back indoor conference tiles in 2009 and 2010, while head coach Troy Engle was honored as the Patriot League Coach of the

Year at the conclusion of both seasons.

The Patriot League, which was founded on the principles of admitting athletes who are academically representative of their class, is in its second decade of academic and athletic achievement. Participation in athletics at Patriot League institutions is viewed as an important component of a well-rounded education.

The Patriot League began as a successful Division I-AA (now called Football Championship Subdivision) football conference in 1986. Full League members include American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh and Navy. Associate members include Fordham (football) and Georgetown (football).

These member institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation. Alumni from Patriot League colleges and universities have played a leadership role in the shaping of our country.

In the classroom, the Patriot League’s full-member institutions, individually and collectively, consistently rank among the top Division I programs in the NCAA Graduation Rates Report. For the eighth-straight year the Patriot League ranked fi rst among all Division I conferences in student-athlete graduation rates according to the NCAA Graduation Rates report.

League members have also distinguished themselves on the fi eld of play. The Patriot League sponsors championship competition in 23 sports (11 for men; 12 for women). Championship teams from 14 sports are guaranteed advancement into NCAA post-season competition: baseball, men and women’s basketball, fi eld hockey, football, men’s golf, men and women’s lacrosse, men and women’s soccer, softball, men and women’s tennis and volleyball.

In the Patriot League’s history, more than 225 teams have been selected for post-season play in the NCAA, ECAC or National Invitational tournaments. The Patriot League also boasts nearly 100 individual student-athletes who have qualifi ed for NCAA Championships, the pinnacle of collegiate individual competition. In excess of 235 Patriot League student-athletes have earned All-America honors.

Along the timeline of Patriot League history about three-quarters of the Patriot League’s 410 Scholar-Athletes of the Year also received All-Patriot League status for their exemplary athletic performance. Additionally, more than 70 of the Scholar-Athletes honored were named Players of the Year or Performers of the Meet in their respective sport.

In the Patriot League’s history, 169 Patriot League student-athletes have been recognized as CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, while more than 10,500 more have qualifi ed for the League’s Academic Honor Roll by accumulating a 3.2 grade-point average and earning a varsity letter. Twenty-seven student-athletes have received NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships. Additionally, Patriot League student-athletes have earned four Fulbright Scholarships, a Rhodes Scholarship, a Luce Foundation Scholarship, a Marshall Scholarship, three NACDA/Disney Scholarships, fi ve National Football Foundation Scholarships and three ECAC/Robbins Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards among their many accomplishments.
