CREDITS AND COVERS


Dear Friends of Air Force Track and Field,

During the 2013 season, our vision for the Air Force Academy Track and Field program has never been clearer -- ‘to develop highly compe ve men’s and women’s track and fi eld teams which annually contend for the Mountain West Conference tle; insis ng on a total commitment to academic and military goals; unwavering compliance with ins -tu onal, conference and NCAA guidelines, whose trademarks are an image of complete class and unques oned integrity.’

Our strategy and tac cs to realize this vision is simple -- ‘to recruit the highest quality student-athletes in the United States, and to develop those in our program to improve and progress from week to week, month to month, and year to year, into conference championship-caliber and NCAA championship-qualifying performers.’

We trust you’ll see that we are commi ed to excellence in athle cs with this 2013 Media Guide. Our tradi ons, our coaching staff , our facili es, our schedule and the adminis-tra ve and fi nancial support we receive are among the best in NCAA Division I athle cs.

We hope you will recognize that the Air Force Academy is characterized not only by its athle c achievements, but also by its sound founda on of academic leadership and character development. The mo o -- “Integrity fi rst, service before self and excellence in all we do” -- is truly believed in by each member of our administra on, team, and coaching staff .

Under the leadership of our athle c department personnel, the future for this program con nues to be promising. Their vision, understanding and dedica on will allow Air Force Track and Field to grow and mature to one of the premier programs in the country.

The team and coaches welcome you to another exci ng season of Air Force Track and Field and we express our apprecia on to the Falcons’ many friends, students and alumni for your support. Together, we are a part of the great Air Force tradi on and each of us plays an important role in the future success of the Air Force Academy Track and Field program.

Sincerely,

Ralph LindemanAir Force Track and Field Coach

MEET THE COACHING STAFF


Ralph Lindeman, an 11-time conference coach of the year, is beginning his 24th season at the helm of the Air Force track and field team.

Lindeman is well-known throughout the international track and field community and holds many distinctions from his long involvement with both the Olympic sport and the Academy’s athletic program. From the very first day he stepped onto the track at the Academy in 1989, the Falcons have benefited from Lindeman’s leadership and his love of coaching.

Over his tenure at the Academy, Lindeman has earned numerous coaching distinctions and honors. He is an 11-time conference Coach of the Year, the 2001 NCAA Mountain Region Men’s Outdoor Coach of the Year and the 2012 NCAA Mountain Region Men’s Indoor Coach of the Year. He was most recently voted as the Mountain West Confer-ence Men’s Coach of the Year during the 2012 outdoor season, marking the eighth time he has claimed an MW award (indoor: 2012, 2011, 2008, 2004, 2001; outdoor: 2012, 2003, 2001). In addition to earning the 1995 WAC Indoor Coach of the Year and the 1991 WAC Cross Country Coach of the Year at Air Force, Lindeman was named the 1989 Big West Coach of the Year while at Long Beach State.

He has guided the Air Force men’s program to 20 top-three finishes during Mountain West Conference indoor and outdoor seasons, including the 2012 indoor and outdoor conference team titles. In addition, he has watched the women’s program break nu-merous Academy records and become a significant force in the league.

His work is not limited to the boundaries of the Academy. Lindeman served as an assistant coach for the U.S. Men’s Track & Field Team that participated in the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Japan. Previously, he was the jumps, pole vault and decathlon coach for the U.S. Men’s Track & Field Team at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. That team collected 19 medals - including two Gold and five Silver medals from Lindeman-coached athletes - for the squad’s highest medal count since the 1992 Games in Barcelona.

He also served as an advisor to the South Korean team at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul and was a scheduling manager for the 1996 Games in Atlanta. In addition to his work with the Olympic Games, Lindeman has also served as the head men’s coach for the 2001 World University Games, the 1999 Pan American Games and the “North Team” at the 1993 U.S. Olympic Festival.

As the chairman of the hurdle sub-committee for USATF’s Men’s Development Com-mittee from 1993-2000, Lindeman coordinated video analysis of all hurdle races at USA Championships and Olympic Trials and managed a series of annual mini-camps for the elite U.S. male hurdlers at San Diego’s Olympic Training Center. Lindeman has also worked on the coaching staff for the United States men’s team at the 1992 World Junior Championships and the “West Team” at the 1987 U.S. Olympic Festival.

Lindeman first became excited about track and field as a seventh grader at Phoenix Christian Grade School in Arizona, when his physical education teacher took his class to a collegiate track dual-meet featuring Arizona State and New Mexico. Later, the influences of his high school track coaches, according to Lindeman, “unknowingly in-spired me to pursue coaching.”

Lindeman’s coaching career began in 1973, when he was an assistant coach at Carl Hayden High School in Phoenix, Ariz., working with the football and track teams. From there, he became an assistant track coach at Glendale High School in Glendale, Ariz., working under Ken France, a legend in the Arizona coaching ranks. He also served as the head coach for the cross country and track teams during his five-year tenure at Glendale High School.

Following a stint as the boys’ track and cross country coach at Westwood High School in Mesa, Ariz., Lindeman moved up to the collegiate ranks, becoming an assistant track coach at Arizona State, coaching the field events for the men’s team. The 1982 Sun Devil team won Arizona State’s first-ever PAC-10 title in track and field.

In 1982, Lindeman went to the University of Arizona as an assistant coach of the men’s and women’s teams, overseeing the sprints, hurdles and jumps. Both the men’s and women’s teams placed in the top 10 at the 1984 NCAA Championships.

Lindeman credits Len Miller at Arizona State University and Dave Murray at the Uni-versity of Arizona for giving him his first opportunities at the university level and teach-ing him about coaching collegiate athletes. For his 11 years coaching within the state of Arizona, Lindeman was inducted into the Arizona Track Coaches Association’s Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2009.

Lindeman left Arizona in 1984, when he was named the head coach at Long Beach State University. During his five years there, he took the men’s and women’s track and field teams, as well as the cross country teams, to new heights in the Big West Confer-ence. He remained with the 49ers until his appointment at Air Force.

In 1989, Lindeman came to the Air Force Academy as the head coach of the men’s and women’s track and field team, as well as the head coach of the Falcons’ men’s cross country program.

As the cross country mentor, he guided the Falcons to their first-ever conference championship title, when they claimed the 1991 Western Athletic Conference cham-pionship. Led by two-time WAC Champion, Chris Nelson, Lindeman’s 1991 team went on to place second at the regional meet and 14th at the NCAA Championships. The team’s second-place finish at the regional championships remains the best finish ever by an Air Force cross country team, while its placing at the national meet is the pro-gram’s second-best finish since 1967.

Since Lindeman’s arrival at the Air Force Academy, the Falcons have accounted for 31 individual WAC champions and 81 individual Mountain West champions. In addition, the men have rewritten 47 Academy records, while the women have displaced 40. Lindeman-coached Air Force teams have produced two national champions, including Callie Calhoun, who earned five titles during her career and Dana Pounds, who col-lected back-to-back titles in the javelin. His teams have also garnered 49 All-America selections.

Lindeman has a simple coaching philosophy which is summed up in the core values of the United States Air Force Academy - “Integrity first. Service before self. Excellence in all we do”.

HEAD COACH RALPH LINDEMAN


He believes that his role as the head coach is to make sure that the program provides a framework in which the cadet-athletes can achieve excellence, not only athletically, but also academically and militarily.

In addition to his coaching duties, he has been a featured speaker at coaching clinics in 25 states and four countries, while writing articles that have been published in three journals and chapters of the textbooks “Hurdles: Theory and Technique” and the “USA Track and Field Coaching Manual” (1999 edition).

Lindeman has been very active on various track and field committees, as well. He served as the first chairman of the Coaches’ Association Ethics Committee, and was elected as the chair of the USATF Coaches Advisory Committee in 2009, a position he still holds. He has also sat on the men’s hurdle development committee during four Olympic quadrennials, holding the chairman’s position from 1993-2000. In addition, he has served on the NCAA Track and Field Rules Committee, acting as the chairman for the 2000 outdoor championships and was the president of the U.S. Track and Field Coaches Association (Division I Coaches) from 2000-03.

Lindeman sees his involvement with these organizations as a way to not only make a significant improvement to the sport of collegiate track and field, but to extend ben-efits to the development of the Air Force program.

Lindeman graduated in 1973 from Arizona State University with a bachelor’s degree in physical education. He went on to complete a master’s degree in exercise science from ASU in 1976.

He has been married for the past 41 years to his wife, Cindy, who has been a fixture as a teacher at Springs Community Church Preschool for many years. They have two children and six grandchildren.

Their daughter, Jennifer, is a graduate of Arizona State, as is her husband, Brian Rowedder. Jennifer and Brian have three children, Maddison, Brock and Landon. Their son, Brian, is a firefighter in Parker, Colo., and a former high school state champion in the pole vault. He is married to Heather Dunavint, and they have twin girls, Elsie and Mira, and a son, Brogan.

INTERNATIONAL COACHING ASSIGNMENTS


Scott Irving is in his 14th season as the coach of the throwing events for the Air Force track and field team. He joined the Academy staff in 1999 as the coach of the field events and was promoted to the associate head coach before the start of the 2008 season. His primary responsibilities include recruiting for field events and coaching the Falcons’ throwing program.

In 13 seasons, Irving has developed the Academy throwers into one of the top throw-ing programs, not only in the Mountain West Conference, but nationally as well, on both the NCAA and USATF championship scenes. Under Irving’s guidance, program re-cords have been rewritten countless times in every field event. In addition, the throw-ers have continued to increase point production at the MWC Championships. In fact, the women’s throws team, which includes over two-thirds of the program’s all-MWC selections, has scored over half of the team points at the conference championships every year since 2003.

Last season was another strong season for the Air Force throwing team, as Rob Drye successfully defended his conference title in the hammer throw, overcoming an injury in December that had threatened to end his career, and Paige Blackburn claimed the program’s ninth conference title in the javelin. Blackburn also set the program stan-dard in the weight throw, while accounting for the program’s second-best marks in all of the other throwing events. The Air Force throwers accounted for six all-conference selections at the MW Outdoor Championships, backed by two of the top-three place-ments in the women’s javelin throw.

The 2011 season saw several firsts take place for the Irving’s throwers, as James Cole claimed the men’s first-ever All-America accolade in the discus throw and Drye won the program’s first conference title in the hammer throw. Cole also became the first thrower to claim all-MWC status in the discus, while Drye set Academy records in the weight throw and hammer throw. With the second-best discus mark in Academy his-tory, Cole was one of three juniors to move into second on the program’s all-time lists in 2011, joining Kyle Schwochow and Blackburn, who each moved into second on the program’s all-time lists in their respective indoor shot put events.

The 2010 season accounted for five MWC titles, one All-America certificate and four Academy records from Irving-coached athletes. Sara Neubauer, who won conference titles in the indoor shot put, weight throw, outdoor shot put and discus throw, earned All-America status in the discus throw for the second straight year and set Academy records in the indoor and outdoor shot put, weight throw and hammer throw. Katie Weber won the javelin throw at the conference meet, as Air Force accounted for five of the six throwing titles at the combined conference championships. In addition, Neubauer won four event titles at the Military Championships, leading the women to their first-ever team championship at the all-service academy meet.

Under Irving’s direction, Neubauer became the Falcons’ first female athlete ever to earn multiple All-America honors at the Division I level, following top-eight finishes in the shot put and discus throw at the 2009 NCAA Championships. Neubauer, who scored for Air Force in all four throwing events at the MWC Outdoor Championships and earned all-conference accolades in the shot put and discus throw, set Academy records in the indoor and outdoor shot put, as well as the hammer throw (in just her first year throwing that apparatus).

Jocelyn Dooley was the Academy’s first female NCAA Division I regional qualifier in 2003. Since that time, Irving’s throwers have accounted for 28 of the 39 female quali-fiers to the NCAA Regional meet. And of the eight times Falcons have advanced to the national championship meet in all women’s sports at the Academy, Irving has coached seven (Pounds three times, Korte twice, Neubauer twice and Dooley).

Since the Falcons joined the Mountain West Conference in 2000, Irving has coached 20 MWC champions and 19 MWC runners-up during the indoor and outdoor seasons for the Falcons’ men’s and women’s track and field teams. In fact, Irving-coached athletes have won at least one conference javelin title during eight of the last 12 years and hold the women’s championship meet record.

With Neubauer’s titles in the indoor shot put, weight throw, outdoor shot put and discus throw, Weber’s 2010 javelin championship, Korte’s 2007 crown in the discus throw, Pounds’ three titles in the javelin, Dominique Boivin’s 2003 discus title and Ana-Maria Ortega’s 2001 title in the pole vault, Irving claims all 11 of Air Force’s female Mountain West Conference champions.

For his success, Irving has been honored as the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division I Mountain Region Women’s Outdoor As-sistant Coach of the Year in 2009 and 2010. He is the first Air Force assistant coach to be honored in this capacity and third overall connected to the throws program, joining Neubauer (Mountain Region Outdoor Female Field Athlete of the Year, 2010) and Dana Pounds (Mountain Region Outdoor Female Field Athlete of the Year, 2006).

Irving brought impressive credentials to the Academy. Countless champions in four leagues, over 35 All-Americans, eight national champions, numerous national team members and two Olympians have developed under his tutelage.

He helped build two NCAA championship programs at Oregon (1977-83) and Florida (1983-89). Three records for Irving-coached athletes stand at Oregon, and Florida throwers earned five of the top seven places in the women’s discus throw at the 1989 SEC championships, including the champion and runner-up.

From 1989-93, Irving guided Illinois’ men’s team back to the conference title, as he built the strongest field events program in the Big Ten. At Illinois, he coached three Big Ten triple jump champions, including 1991 Big Ten Medal of Honor winner, GTE Academic All-American and NCAA outdoor All-American Aaron Mobarak. Another Irving-coached athlete, JD Teach, was a five-time conference shot put champion and NCAA All-American.

Records by Irving’s javelin throwers still stand in five programs where he has coached (Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten Conference, Southeastern Conference, Pac-10 Conference, Mountain West Conference).

Irving has continued to coach Pounds after her collegiate career ended. Under his su-pervision, Pounds won the national title at the 2007 USATF Championships, upsetting the defending champion and then-American record holder. A member of Team USA and the World Class Athlete Program, Pounds placed second at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials and has competed at the World Championships and Pan-American Games.

He also coach Neubauer to a USATF Junior National title in the shot put during the summer following her freshman campaign at the Academy.

Irving’s national coaching assignments include the 1985 World University Games, the 1987 Olympic Festival, head coach for the 1989 junior tour, the 1990 Scandinavian Javelin Tour, and the “U.S. vs. Great Britain” Meet in the summer of 1993. In 2009, Irving was selected as a featured speaker at the annual U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Convention, where he spoke on coaching javelin throwers. In addition, Irving has written dozens of technical articles.

A recipient of two master’s degrees (Art History from Northwestern in 1977 and Physi-cal Education from Oregon in 1979), the 1973 Willamette University graduate places the pursuit of academic excellence as an utmost priority.

Irving’s throwers at Oregon annually dotted the dean’s list, while his throwers at Flor-ida made the All-SEC academic team 40 times. Since joining the Academy, his athletes have earned academic all-conference honors on over 55 occasions.

Phenomenally, during two of his four years at Illinois, he had athletes awarded the most prestigious accolade - the Big Ten Medal of Honor for academic/athletic excel-lence. That tradition of academic excellence continues at the Academy, as eight Fal-cons have been named to the national USTFCCCA All-Academic Team and Brian Willis, a 2005 USAFA graduate, was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship.

Irving was born in Portland, Ore., 40 miles from his hometown of Cascade Locks. He and his wife, Allyn, have been married 40 years and have two sons, Scott and Kevin.

Juli Benson is in her fifth season as an assistant coach for the Air Force track and field team. In addition to her duties coaching the Falcons’ middle distance and distance run-ners, Benson is the head coach of the cross country program, where she was named the Mountain West Men’s Cross Country Coach of the Year in 2010.

Since Benson’s arrival in 2009, members of the Falcons’ middle distance and distance teams have accounted for five All-America awards, 14 MWC conference titles, 27 all-conference selections and 13 Academy records.

The men’s distance and middle distance squad helped the Falcons capture their first-ever Mountain West titles at both the indoor and outdoor conference championships in 2012. Jim Walmsley, who earned All-America status in the 3000-meter steeplechase, picked up four conference titles during his senior season, including the 3000- and 5000-meter titles at the indoor championships and the 5000-meter and steeplechase titles at the outdoor meet. Alex Lindsay won the 800-meter title at the MW Outdoor Championships, while Matt Caldwell and Lance Wolfsmith helped Air Force to a con-ference title in the distance medley relay at the MW Indoor Championships.

On the women’s side, senior Morgan Mosby became Air Force’s first individual con-ference champion in a running event, as she won the 1500-meter title at the MW Outdoor Championships That came less than three months after she and Melissa Fuerst, who earned all-MW honors with a third-place finish in the 1500, helped the Falcons’ distance medley relay team to their first conference championship title with an Academy-record performance at the MW Indoor Championships. Mosby also set the Academy record in the 1500-meter run and qualified with Fuerst to the NCAA West Preliminary Meet, while classmate Jen Bremser set a new program standard in the 3000-meter steeplechase.

In 2011, Benson helped cap off the remarkable collegiate career of Justin Tyner, who claimed two individual All-America certificates (indoor 3000-meter run, outdoor 3000-meter steeplechase) and ran the anchor leg of the program’s first-ever All-America distance medley relay team. Tyner, who claimed Mountain West Conference titles (in-door 3000-meter run, indoor 5000-meter run, outdoor 5000-meter run) during his se-nior year, became the second of Benson’s athletes to claim the MWC High Point Award after winning the two longest races of the indoor season (Sean Houseworth, 2009).

She also coached Tyner to All-America status in 2010, as he was the top American fin-isher in the 3000-meter run at the NCAA Indoor Championships (third overall). It was the first All-America honor by a distance runner for the Falcons since 1998.

Benson, who was selected as the Mountain West Conference Cross Country Coach of the Year in the fall of 2010, has also revitalized the Falcons’ cross country program. The men finished second at the conference meet in 2011 and 2012, while Air Force claimed a program-record eight all-conference selections in 2012 (six men, two women). In 2010, the Benson-led men’s cross country team sent two athletes to the NCAA Cham-pionships - the most since 2004, while the women’s squad matched its best MWC Championship finish in six years.

Benson comes to the Academy following a three-year stint at George Mason Univer-sity, where she served as the men’s middle distance coach and recruiting coordinator. While with the Patriots, Benson was instrumental in improving the placement of the men’s cross country team at the Colonial Athletic Association Championships from ninth to second in just two seasons.

Prior to her time at GMU, she spent five years as an assistant coach for the men’s and women’s track and field team at Georgetown University. During her tenure with the Hoyas, over 20 athletes earned All-America status. In addition, the distance program was consistently ranked among the nation’s top-10.

One of her Georgetown runners, Chris Lukezic, won the USA Junior National Champi-onship in the 1500-meter run and finished fourth in that event at the 2004 Olympic Tri-als. She also guided Treniere Clement to a runner-up performance in the 1500-meter run at the 2004 NCAA Championships.

Benson began her coaching career as the head coach of the women’s cross country team at her alma mater, James Madison University, in 1993. During her four-year tenure, she helped lead the Dukes to their first-ever CAA Championship. In addition, she served as an assistant coach for the track and field team.

She received a bachelor’s degree in political science from James Madison in 1992. She also obtained a master’s degree in sports administration and exercise science from JMU in 1996. A four-year letterwinner with the Dukes, she was an NCAA All-American in the 1500-meter run during the 1992 season. In 2002, Benson was inducted into the JMU Athletic Hall of Fame.

Benson, who spent seven years as a competitor for Asics Tiger Corporation (1993-94) and Reebok International (1994-00), served as an assistant women’s coach for the 2007 U.S. World Championship Team that competed in Osaka, Japan, and as the junior women’s coach for the 2003 U.S. Cross Country Team that captured its highest finish ever at the World Cross Country Championships in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Benson served as the personal coach to Jennifer Barringer Simpson, who claimed the gold medal in the 1500-meter run at the 2011 World Outdoor Track and Field Cham-pionships and competed in that event at the 2012 Olympic Games. She also coached Tyner, Houseworth and Matt Williams, during their time as members of the Air Force World Class Athlete Program (WCAP).

She has also served as a coach to Kevin Sullivan, who set new Canadian records in the indoor and outdoor 3000-meter events and finished 13th at the 2006 World Cross Country Championships, and Lukezic, who finished seventh at the 2006 World Indoor Championships and clocked the seventh-fastest 1500-meter time ever in a U.S. out-door performance. In addition, Benson served as a consultant to Alan Webb, who was ranked No. 1 in the 1500 meters during that time.

She was elected to the U.S. Women’s Track and Field Coaches Association Advisory Board and as a representative for USATF Women’s High Performance (middle distance running).

An accomplished runner in her own right, Benson represented the United States in the 1500-meter run during the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. She is a two-time silver medalist in the 1500 at the World Student Games and a gold medalist in that event at the 1996 Atlanta Gran Prix. She also earned a bronze medal in the mile of the 1997 Gran Prix Final.

She was married in July 2009 to Robert Benson, the associate head football coach and defensive coordinator at The Colorado School of Mines. The couple resides in Highlands Ranch, Colo.

Allen Johnson, the 1996 Olympic gold medalist in the 110-meter hurdles, is in his second season as the coach of the Falcons’ sprinters and hurdlers, after joining the Air Force track and field coaching staff in November 2011.

During his first season with Air Force, Johnson coached the men’s 4x400-meter relay team to Mountain West titles during both the indoor and outdoor championship meets. Highlighting the Falcons’ sweep was a then-record-setting performance to clinch the program’s first-ever indoor team title. His squad of Manny Smith, Anthony Delgado, Jake Spuller and Bryce Bergman went on to break the program’s 4x400-meter relay record again the following week, with a 3:10.52 at the Alex Wilson In-vitational. He also coached Smith and Bergman to individual all-conference honors.

In addition to his Olympic gold, Johnson earned gold medals in the hurdles at seven IAAF World Championship meets. He finished first in the 110-meter hurdles at the outdoor world championships in 1995 (Gothenburg), 1997 (Athens), 2001 (Edmonton) and 2003 (Paris), while placing first in the 60-meter hurdles at the indoor world cham-pionships in 1995 (Barcelona), 2003 (Birmingham) and 2004 (Budapest). In addition, Johnson finished second in the 60-meter hurdles at the 2008 indoor championships in Valencia, Spain, third at the 110-meter hurdles at the 2005 championships in Helinski, Finland and fourth in the 110-meter hurdles at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.

Johnson, who was ranked as the top 110-meter hurdler in the world for four years by Track & Field News, spent 14 consecutive years listed among the world’s top 10, including 12 years ranked within the top five, while finishing a record 11 races in less than 13 seconds.

A native of Washington D.C., Johnson was the 1997 recipient of the prestigious Jesse Owens Award, which is the highest accolade given out by USA Track and Field (USATF). He also earned the USATF/Visa Humanitarian Award in 1999, after leading a successful fundraiser for a new track surface at his former high school.

As a collegiate athlete at the University of North Carolina, Johnson won the 1992 NCAA championship in the 55-meter hurdles with a meet-record time of 7.07. He was the na-tional runner-up in the 55-meter hurdles (indoor) and 110-meter hurdles (outdoor) as a senior, while setting an ACC record in the long jump. Johnson, who still holds school records at North Carolina in the indoor long jump, outdoor long jump and 110-meter hurdles, also won four ACC titles, including three in the long jump (two indoor, one outdoor) and one in the 110-meter hurdles.

Johnson comes to the Academy after serving as a volunteer coach at South Carolina under his former coach Curtis Frye.

Scott Steffan, the 2012 USTFCCCA Mountain Region Assistant Coach of the Year, is in his sixth season with the Air Force track and field team, where he serves as the event coach for the pole vault team. Since his arrival in 2008, six men and eight women have impacted the program’s top-10 indoor records, while five men and seven women have moved up the Academy’s all-time outdoor list.

In his first season with the Falcons, Steffan coached the pole vault program to a re-cord-setting season. Nick Frawley became the program’s 21st outdoor All-American, after placing second at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. He also won the Mountain West Conference title at the indoor championships, while claiming all-conference honors in the outdoor meet. On the women’s side, Melissa Beerse rewrote both the indoor and outdoor records, while earning all-conference honors during the indoor season. Three other Falcons made their mark on the women’s top-10 lists, so Steffan-coached athletes hold the top three spots in the indoor pole vault and the top two spots in the outdoor pole vault. In addition, both Frawley and Beerse participated in the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships.

In 2009, the Steffan-coached pole vault team exceeded its success from his first sea-son. Frawley picked up a pair of All-America certificates, tying for seventh at the NCAA Indoor Championships and placing seventh outright at the NCAA Outdoor Champion-ships. Frawley, who was named the USTFCCCA Division I Mountain Region Indoor Male Field Athlete of the Year, set the Academy’s indoor pole vault mark at 18’1”. On the women’s side, a pair of Falcons’ earned all-conference accolades, as Rachel Simmons (indoor) and Kimber Shealy (outdoor) each finished third at their respective champi-onship meets. Shealy, who was named to the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team, moved into the top-three in the program’s all-time record book, including a tie for second (12’7½”) outdoors.

Steffan’s athletes continued to have unprecedented success in 2010, concluding with another All-America honor for Frawley. Following a third-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, Frawley became the most-decorated Division I All-American, with four citations. The Falcons claimed the top two finishes at the indoor confer-ence championship, as Frawley won his third career title and Chase Cooper placed second. The program’s top-10 list received a major revamp for the third straight year, as seven top heights in men’s and women’s history were accounted for. Shealy, who was named to the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team for the second straight year, became just the second member of the women’s team to clear the 13-foot bar during the indoor season.

Despite the graduation of Frawley, the Falcons didn’t miss a step in 2011. Cale Sim-mons concluded the outdoor campaign ranked seventh in the nation (17’7¾”) and fourth in the Academy record books. Simmons collected all-conference honors at both the indoor and outdoor conference championships, while collecting a pair of MWC Athlete of the Week awards. Rob Simmons, who joined his twin brother at the NCAA semifinals, also debuted on the Academy’s top-10 lists in both the indoor and outdoor vaults. The women continued to shine for the Falcons. Highlighted by Shealy and Tawny Lambuth tying for the second-best outdoor clearance in program history (12’10”), members of the women’s team accounted for four of the top-seven indoor marks and three of the top-five outdoor marks in Academy history.

Steffan earned the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches’ Association Mountain Region Men’s Outdoor Assistant Coach of the Year award in 2012, after his pole vaulters dominated the field at the Mountain West Indoor Track and Field Championships. Simmons claimed conference titles at both the indoor and outdoor

championship meets, while breaking both of the Academy records (18’1¼” indoors, 18’1¾” outdoors), picking up a pair of All-America citations and setting a new MW Championship-meet record (18’1¾”). The men claimed six of the top-eight scoring finishes at the indoor championships and five of the top at the outdoor meet. Under Steffan’s direction, the men claimed four all-conference titles, while helping Air Force to its first conference team title. On the women’s side, Kimber Shealy cleared a new outdoor Academy record of 13’1¾” … a mark that also broke a 10-year-old facility standard at the Cadet Outdoor Track and Field Complex.

Steffan joined the Falcons’ program after spending seven years at the University of New Mexico, where he coached the pole vault and men’s multi-event athletes. While with the Lobos, Steffan rebuilt the men’s and women’s pole vault program. Under his watch, three UNM pole vaulters competed at the NCAA Championships, while at least three qualified for the regional championships during each of his last four years. Also during that time, eight Lobos earned all-conference honors. Steffan coached former Lobo Robert Caldwell to All-America status, in addition to leading Derek Mackel to the NCAA Midwest Regional record of 18’1”.

In addition to his work with the pole vault team, Steffan also improved the Lobos’ decathlon and heptathlon teams. He guided New Mexico to two decathlon titles, as well as the first MWC heptathlon crown. Coaching multiple decathlon finalists, Stef-fan has also coached six all-conference honorees in the multi-events and two NCAA Championship participants.

Prior to joining the UNM staff, Steffan spent three years at Wichita State University. While there, he coached All-Americans in the pole vault, triple jump and heptathlon. His women’s pole vault team finished first, second and third at the Missouri Valley Conference championships during each of his three years.

Steffan began his collegiate coaching career at the University of Virginia in 1991. Dur-ing his six years at Virginia, he coached All-American athletes in the high jump, hep-tathlon, decathlon, 400-meter hurdles and long jump. He also guided 22 Atlantic Coast Conference champions.

An all-Western Athletic Conference decathlete for New Mexico, Steffan graduated from the school in 1991 with a bachelor’s degree in education. A native of Aztec, N.M., Steffan and his wife, Joanne, have two young sons – Jake and Trey.

ASSISTANT COACH SCOTT STEFFAN


Mark Stanforth returns to the Air Force track and field program for his third season as a volunteer coach. Stanforth, who retired in 2007 after serving 15 years as the head coach of the cross country and associate head coach of the track and field team, will assist the current Falcons’ middle distance and distance runners.

The highlights for the men’s cross country program during Stanforth’s 15-year tenure include three top-16 NCAA finishes between 2000 and 2004, topped by an eighth-place finish in 2003. When the Falcons qualified for the NCAA Division I championship in 2000, it marked a unique coaching distinction for Stanforth - his teams had qualified for the national cross country championship in every collegiate division: NJCAA, NAIA, NCAA Divisions I, II and III. The Falcons won three conference championships, were conference runners-up six times and finished outside the top three only once in that 15 year span. Stanforth was selected by his peers as the conference coach of the year four times.

Stanforth led the women’s cross country team during their transition from NCAA Divi-sion II to Division I. In his first four years, the Falcon women competed in Division II and qualified for the NCAA championships each year with program-high finishes of sixth place in both 1992 and 1995. In 1996, the Academy women’s programs moved to Division I. In 1999, the Falcons started a string of five consecutive third-place MWC conference finishes, the only upper division finishes by any Falcon women’s program in Division I.

Individually, athletes with whom Stanforth worked with earned All-America honors 10 times in track and field and six times in cross country. He coached 26 individual confer-ence champions on the track and one in cross country. His teams also earned national all-academic honors nine times.

Prior to coaching at the Academy, Stanforth coached one year at his alma mater, the University of South Dakota/Springfield, seven years at Glendale (Ariz.) Community Col-lege and five years at the University of California, San Diego, in addition to one year as a graduate assistant at Northern State (S.D.) University.

Stanforth and his wife, Pat, have two sons, Nicholas and Daniel.

Bob Graf is entering his eighth season as a volunteer coach for the Air Force track and field team, where he works primarily with the program’s high jumpers.

The 2012 season proved to be a banner year for Graf and his jumpers. Air Force claimed the program’s first-ever indoor and outdoor conference titles in the high jump, as well as five of the event’s six all-conference selections.

Freshman Kobi Rex won the Mountain West title and paced the Falcons to a sweep of all three medals at the indoor meet, while junior Zach Wood claimed the league’s out-door title and led Air Force to three of the top-four finishes. In addition, Rex became the first Falcon since 1997 to clear the seven-foot mark, while recording the second-highest clearance in Mountain West Indoor Championship Meet history.

Over the past two years, four members of the women’s team have debuted on the program’s top-10 list, including Regan Rogers’ Freshman Class Record of 5’8” – the second-best jump in Academy history.

Prior to his appointment at UCCS, Graf spent 25 years coaching at the high school level, including 18 years at Wasson High School in Colorado Springs.

During his career, Graf coached a state championship boys’ team and a state cham-pion or place-finisher in 17 of 18 track events. He has been honored as the Coach of the Year four times, was named the Junior Achievement “Economics Teacher of the Year” for the state of Colorado and the Colorado High School Coaches Association Teacher/Coach of the Year. Graf has also served as the president and executive secre-tary of the Colorado High School Coaches Association.

Graf was inducted into the Colorado High School Coaches Hall of Fame in March 2012.

He is a retired master USA Track and Field official and spent 20 years as the head starter for Air Force track meets. Graf has also served as the head starter at the Colo-rado state meet. He has worked at two Olympic Games and four Olympic Trials, as well as numerous national meets. He is also a member of the USA Track and Field Officials Association. He is also a member of the USA Track and Field Officials Association.

Graf received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Northern Colorado and went on to obtain a master’s degree from Adams State College, where he worked as a graduate assistant for the cross country and track programs.

A retired activities director from the Woodland Park School District, Graf and his wife Suzie live at Blue Mountain Ranch, which is an activities and sports camp that was founded by Suzie’s parents in 1946. They have two sons, David and Tim.

CADET MANAGERS

In his 11th year as a volunteer coach with the Falcons, Ron White brings a diverse coaching background to the Air Force track and field program. White works with the Falcons’ sprinters and hurdlers, assisting in the development of 15 conference cham-pions and 59 all-conference athletes.

Following his last tour in Vietnam, White returned to coaching in Weisbaden, Ger-many. His military coaching duties included two years as the head track coach for the USAFE team that placed third and second at the All-Air Force Championships. He also spent several years as the head track coach, assistant football coach and head of the Department of Athletics and Training at the USAFA Prep School.

After his retirement from the Air Force, White resumed his coaching career within the Colorado Public Schools System. He coached several of the best sprinters, hurdlers and middle distance runners in the state, including an undefeated two-time 110-meter high hurdles state champion and record holder.

White began coaching in the USATF Junior Olympics program and was able to coach even more state champions and finalists, which included male and female champions in both hurdle distances, sprinters in the 100-, 200- and 400-meter dashes and middle distance runners in the 1600- and 3200-meters. He also coached a 4A record-setter in the 200-meter dash and a 4A record-setter in the 400-meter dash.

As a coach for the Junior Olympics, White has guided national champions in the 200-meter dash and 400-meter hurdles, a second-place finisher in the 200-meter dash and top-eight finishers in the 100-meter and 400-meter sprints, as well as several national top-six 400-meter and 1600-meter relay teams.

White has also been a member of two Colorado state champion football staffs. As the coach of the linebackers and quarterbacks, he was fortunate to coach all-state team members in both positions.

White and his wife, Veronica, have been married for 56 years. They are blessed with five children (four daughters and one son) and nine grandchildren.

2012 SEASON IN REVIEW


SIMMONS CLAIMS ALL-AMERICA STATUSCale Simmons was awarded fi rst-team All-America sta-tus by the USTFCCCA, a er placing fi h in the pole vault at the NCAA Indoor Championships on March 9. Sim-mons cleared 17’10½” in the na onal fi nals, which was ed for the third-best clearance of the day.

DID YOU KNOW? Cale Simmons is the third Air Force pole vaulter to earn All-America honors during the indoor season, joining Paul Gensic (2004, 2005) and Nick Frawley (2009). His fi h-place fi nish at the na onal meet is the best fi nish by an Air Force vaulter since Gensic placed third in 2005.

DUO CLAIMS REGIONAL AWARDSAir Force claimed a pair of regional accolades from the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Asso-cia on (USTFCCCA) on March 5, as Ralph Lindeman was voted as the Mountain Region Men’s Head Coach of the Year and Cale Simmons was selected as the Mountain Region Male Field Athlete of the Year.

A LITTLE HISTORY LESSONCale Simmons is the second pole vaulter to claim re-gional honors by the USTFCCCA, joining Nick Frawley, who captured the same honor during the 2009 indoor season. It is also the second me in program history that the Falcons have claimed two regional awards in the same season, joining Sara Neubauer (female fi eld athlete of the year) and Sco Irving (women’s assistant coach of the year) during the 2010 outdoor season.

MAKING UP FOR LOST TIMEA er remaining unchanged for the last 35 years, the Academy record for the men’s 4x400-meter relay has been rewri en twice during the last two weeks. Manny Smith, Anthony Delgado, Jake Spuller and Bryce Berg-man, who sha ered the old standard by one second last weekend at the Mountain West Championships, broke that mark with a new Academy-record me of 3:10.52 at the Alex Wilson Invita onal on March 3.

JOINING FORCESWith a combined me of 9:35.28, the men’s distance medley relay team of Alex Zubey, Anthony Delgado, Alex Lindsay and Jim Walmsley recorded the second-fastest me in Academy history at the Alex Wilson Invita onal

on March 2. The quartet became just the second relay squad in Academy history to be er the 9:40-mark.

DID YOU KNOW?A er running the 400-meter leg of the distance medley relay at the Alex Wilson Invita onal, Anthony Delgado holds a share of the two fastest DMR mes in Academy history. The junior ran the 400-meter leg of the squad that set the program standard at the same meet in 2011.

AIR FORCE NETS RECORD 16 ALL-MW SELECTIONSThe Falcons received a program-record 16 all-confer-ence selec ons at the MW Indoor Championships in Albuquerque. By fi nishing within the top three of their respec ve events, 12 individuals (13 events) and three relay teams earned all-conference dis nc on.

FALCONS WIN FIRST CONFERENCE TITLEHighlighted by a program-best six conference champi-ons, the Air Force men’s team won the fi rst Mountain West tle in program history on Saturday, Feb. 25, in Albuquerque. The Falcons won the fi nal race of the day (the 4x400-meter relay) to edge newcomer Boise State by a 156.50-154 margin for their fi rst conference tle.

DID YOU KNOW?The men’s indoor track and fi eld team claimed the third Mountain West tle of any sport at the Academy, joining men’s cross country (2003) and men’s basketball (2004).

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MOREThe women’s program also had its best MW Champi-onship-meet performance, scoring a program-record 58 points to fi nish seventh. Backed the fi rst distance medley relay tle in Academy history and addi onal all-conference honors in the pole vault and triple jump, the Falcons sha ered their previous high point total of 47 (2001). A program-best 13 individuals scored for the Fal-cons in 10 diff erent events – also a program-best mark.

FOUR RECORDS FALL AT CONFERENCE MEETWith a me of 3:10.67, the men’s 4x400-meter relay team of Manny Smith, Anthony Delgado, Jake Spuller and Bryce Bergman cut one second off of the previous Academy standard, which had stood since 1977. The women’s distance medley relay of Auriele Fain, Rachel Thomas, Morgan Mosby and Melissa Fuerst improved the 2003 standard by two seconds (11:49.26a). Kassie Gurnell became the fi rst female to record a 40-foot dis-tance during the indoor season, as she broke her own record by two feet (41’4¼”), while Paige Blackburn took over the all- me lead in the weight throw (62’3”) when she broke Sara Neubauer’s 2010 mark.

LINDEMAN NAMED COACH OF THE YEARA er guiding the Falcons to their fi rst-ever conference tle, Ralph Lindeman was selected by his peers as the

Mountain West Men’s Coach of the Year. It is the fi h indoor award for Lindeman (2001, 2004, 2008, 2011, 2012) and his eighth overall from the conference (2001, 2003 outdoors). He was also honored as the WAC In-door Coach of the Year (1995) and the WAC Cross Coun-try Coach of the Year (1991) while at Air Force.

WHAT A FINISH!Trailing Boise State by a 148-146.50 margin entering the fi nal event, the 4x400-meter relay of Manny Smith, An-thony Delgado, Jake Spuller and Bryce Bergman shaved one second off of the Academy record to win the race in wire-to-wire 3:10.67. That mark sha ered the previous standard of 3:11.64 that was had stood since 1977.

AIR POWER AT ITS FINESTAir Force earned 27 total points in the pole vault, as the Falcons dominated the medal podium, with six of the top eight places. Cale Simmons cleared 17’5” to win the event, while Joey Uhle took third with a career-best 16’9¼”. Ellio Beski fi nished fourth and Chase Cooper ed for fi h with matching marks of 16’5¼”. Michael

Tibbs cleared a personal-best 16’1¼” to take seventh, while Cort Rogers ed for eighth with a mark of 15’3”.

GOING UP…The women’s pole vault squad placed all four of its com-pe tors in the top eight at the conference meet. Kimber Shealy earned all-conference honors with a third-place, career-best clearance of 13’5¾”, while Wren Bonner set a career-best, Freshman Class Record of 12’11½” to fi n-ish fourth. In addi on, Tawny Lambuth and Bizzy Mel-lado ed for seventh with matching marks of 12’3½”.

HOMETOWN HEROColorado Springs na ve Kobi Rex cleared a career-best 7’0¼” to win the high jump and pace the Falcons to a sweep of the top three spots. In addi on to becoming just the fourth Falcon to clear the seven-foot mark – the fi rst since 1997 – and move into fourth on the Acad-emy’s all- me list, Rex also recorded the second-best mark in Mountain West Championship meet history.

HIGH JUMP HAPPENINGSAir Force swept the medals of the high jump, marking the fi rst me since 2007 that one school claimed the top three places in that event. Behind Kobi Rex’s win-ning 7’0¼”, Zach Wood and Travis Smith fi nished second and third, respec vely, with matching marks of 6’10¼”.

THAT’S WHAT WE DOJim Walmsley captured the 3000- and 5000-meter tles at the Mountain West Championships … marking the third me in four years that an Air Force athlete has ac-complished that feat. Sean Houseworth won both tles in 2009, while Jus n Tyner claimed the fi rst-place spot of both races in 2011. Air Force holds three of the four occurrences of the double-distance win in meet history.

WHAT ABOUT WALMSLEYJim Walmsley clocked a season-best 8:22.70 to win the conference’s 3000-meter tle ... marking the fi h straight year that Air Force has won that event. That vic-tory came less than 24 hours a er he won the 5000-me-ter tle with a wire-to-wire victory (14:22.19) in his fi rst race of the season at that distance. He now joins Jus n Tyner (2010, 2011) and Sean Houseworth (2008, 2009) as Falcons who have won the league’s 3000-meter tle.

MIXING IT UPLance Wolfsmith, Bryce Bergman, Ma Caldwell and Alex Zubey combined to win the distance medley relay in 9:55.39 … a me that was six seconds be er than the rest of the fi eld. When converted for al tude (9:46.38) that is the third-fastest me in Academy history and the third-fastest me in MW Championship-meet history.

WE’LL TAKE TWOWith career-best mes, Alex Lindsay and Nick White fi n-ished second and third, respec vely, in the 800-meter run, marking the fi rst me Air Force has claimed two of the top-three places in that event. Lindsay clocked the sixth-best me in Academy history (al tude to 1:50.84), while White moved into eighth (al tude to 1:51.23).

MOUNTAIN WEST ACADEMIC ALL-CONFERENCE

ACADEMIC AWARDS


In 2007, the Air Force Academy announced the forma on of the Athle c Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame honors the Academy’s former intercollegiate athletes for achieve-ments and contribu ons to the intercollegiate team program during their cadet career and their achievements as leaders of character for the Air Force, the Department of Defense, and the na on upon commissioning. Former athle c administrators of the intercollegiate program, coaches and support staff may also be honored for extraor-dinary achievements. Inductees into the Athle c Hall of Fame will be honored with a plaque on the “Walk of Honor,” which is located on the fourth fl oor of the Falcon Athle c Center.

Class of 2007 ................................................................................ Alonzo Babers (1983)Class of 2009 ................................................................................ Callie Calhoun (1991)Class of 2011 ................................................................................... Gail Conway (1984)Class of 2013 .................................................. Parke Hinman (1964) | Eric Mack (1996)

Every Olympic cycle, the Air Force sponsors 20-30 athletes to train for a berth in the next Olympic Games. Athletes for this program must be of Olympic caliber and the Na- onal Governing Body (NGB) must recognize the athletes chosen for the World Class

Athlete Program (WCAP) as having a legi mate chance at a aining an Olympic berth.

Athletes who meet the criteria are then placed in a special duty assignment preced-ing the Olympic Games. The ini a on of this program was in 1995, modeled a er the Army’s exis ng program. It was developed a er seeing a decline in the amount of Armed Forces members achieving Interna onal athle c prowess; specifi cally, the number of Olympic medals awarded to these members.

What does this mean for the athletes? Simply put, high caliber athletes gradua ng from the Academy have a unique opportunity to con nue training in their sport.

CONFERENCE HISTORY


From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member insti-tutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achieve-ment and sportsmanship. Now in its 14th year, the MW has been assertive in its involvement with the NCAA governance structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administration of intercollegiate athletics.

The Mountain West has marked several achievements over its first 13 years of exis-tence, most notably becoming the first to establish a sports television network dedi-cated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference (The Mtn.). The Mountain West also was the first to experiment with the coaches’ challenge in the college football instant replay system, and was the first non-automatic-qualifying BCS conference to participate in four BCS bowl games, winning three. Additionally, the Mountain West was the first conference to have a member institution with No. 1 overall picks in both the NFL and NBA drafts in the same year (Utah’s Alex Smith and Andrew Bogut, re-spectively in 2005). With San Diego State’s Stephen Strasburg claiming the No. 1 pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the Mountain West is one of two conferences to have the No. 1 selection in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB drafts since the MW was founded in 1999. In 2011-12, the Mountain West was among the first conferences to implement a league-wide state-of-the art basketball instant replay system.

The Mountain West is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders four MW institutions (Air Force, Boise State, Colorado State and New Mexico). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet — the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert cities of Las Vegas and Reno, home to UNLV and Nevada, while Fresno State and San Diego State add a West coast influence with their locations in Central and South-ern California. The inclusion of the Hawai‘i football program extends the Mountain West footprint to the beautiful islands in the Pacific Ocean.

The Mountain West was conceived on May 26, 1998, when the presidents of eight institutions — Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming — decided to form a new NCAA Division I-A intercollegiate athletic conference. The split from a former 16-team conference re-established continuity and stability among the membership within the new league and signaled the continuation of its tradition-rich, long-standing athletic rivalries. Three of the MW’s eight original members have been conference rivals since the 1960s (New Mexico, Wyoming and Colorado State), while San Diego State (1978) and Air Force (1980) were longtime members as well. UNLV and TCU entered the fold in 1996 and the Rebels continued as one of the original eight institutions that formed the MW in 1999. With confer-ence realignment sweeping the nation in recent years, the MW has been proactive in addressing membership changes. Boise State University joined the Mountain West in 2011-12, followed by Fresno State and the University of Nevada on July 1, 2012. Also on July 1, 2012, the University of Hawai‘i became a football-only member of the Conference. On May 4, 2012, the Mountain West announced the additions of San Jose State University and Utah State University as full-time members effective July 1, 2013.

When the Mountain West officially began operations on July 1, 1999, the new league had in place a seven-year contract with ESPN, giving the broadcaster national televi-sion rights to MW football and men’s basketball, and three-year agreements to send the league’s football champion to the Liberty Bowl and a second team to the Las Vegas Bowl. The MW also arranged a third bowl tie-in each of the first three seasons (1999 Motor City, 2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans) before securing a four-year deal with the Emerald Bowl in 2002. Entering the 2012 season, the MW has four bowl affili-ations – the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas, San Diego Country Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl and Gildan New Mexico Bowl.

The Mountain West provides a first-class athletic and academic experience for more than 7,000 student-athletes each year. Over the past 13 years, 38 Mountain West student-athletes have earned NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships, and since the league’s inception in 1999, an additional 26 student-athletes have been named MW Scholar-Athlete of the Year and awarded league-sponsored postgraduate scholarships. Three student-athletes have earned distinction as Rhodes Scholars — Jessica Mellinger (Wy-oming), Delavane Diaz (Air Force) and Brittany Morreale (Air Force).

The MW has produced 762 All-America selections among its 18 sponsored sports (men’s swimming was discontinued as a conference sport following the 2010-11 season) in the last 13 years, including a league-record 83 All-America honorees in 2010-11. A total of 125 MW student-athletes have also earned Academic All-America accolades in that span. The conference has sent at least 28 teams to NCAA postseason events in the past 13 years, capturing three team national championships in men’s cross country and producing 32 individual national champions in the sports of men’s golf, men’s cross country, and men’s and women’s track and field.

Mountain West members have participated in 51 bowl games under the league um-brella, including four appearances in BCS games. The MW has earned 61 postseason bids in men’s basketball, including 33 NCAA Tournament appearances and two NIT Final Four berths. MW women’s basketball has tallied 57 postseason slots, including 31 NCAA bids, five Sweet 16 appearances and one Elite Eight berth since 2000. Wyo-ming won the MW’s first WNIT championship in 2007 with a win over Wisconsin. In women’s volleyball, the MW has had 34 NCAA bids with eight Sweet 16 berths and one Elite Eight appearance. Women’s soccer has earned 26 NCAA bids since 1999, with BYU advancing to the Sweet 16 in 2000 and the Elite Eight in 2003. Men’s golf has had at least four representatives in each of the last 13 NCAA Golf Regionals, while women’s golf has had at least three teams participate in NCAA Regionals 11 of the last 13 years.

From the outset, the MW’s member institutions have been committed to creating strong academic relationships, as well as athletic competition. To that end, the chief academic officers of each institution have explored academic exchange programs, library crossovers and shared research. In addition, the faculty athletics representa-tives routinely provide academic assistance and test-taking services for student-ath-letes visiting from fellow member institutions for competition.

Named a Sports Ethics Fellow by the Institute for International Sport in 1998, Com-missioner Craig Thompson has been a driving force for sportsmanship within intercol-legiate athletics. As part of its continuing growth and development, the Mountain West implemented an extensive Sportsmanship Initiative, endorsed by both the MW Joint Council and MW Board of Directors. The program is made up of several elements, which are both practical and philosophical in nature. While the MW has significant penalties in place to deal with violations, the Sportsmanship Initiative is primarily pro-motional and educational in nature. The goal is to develop an environment that fosters appropriate behavior from all Conference constituencies.

PAGE TITLE HERE

THE U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY


In 1948, a board of leading civilian and military educa-tors was appointed to plan the curriculum for an acade-my that would meet the needs of the newly established Air Force. The board determined that Air Force require-ments could not be met by expanding the other service academies and recommended an Air Force Academy be established without delay.

In 1949, then Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Sym-ington appointed a commission to assist in selec ng a site and, on April 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisen-hower authorized creation of the U.S. Air Force Acad-emy. After considering 580 sites in 45 states, the com-mission narrowed the choice to three locations.

During the summer of 1954, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott selected a site near Colorado Springs, Colo. Colorado contributed $1 million toward purchase of the property.

In July 1955, the first Academy class entered interim fa-cilities at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while construc-tion began. It was sufficiently completed for occupancy by the cadet wing in late August 1958. Initial construc-tion cost was $142 million.

Women entered the Academy on June 28, 1976, as members of the class of 1980.

Cadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that provides the knowledge, skills and responsibilities es-sential to a career Air Force officer. The entire USAFA experience is integrated and mapped to achieve a set of desired outcomes in every graduate.

The core academic curriculum includes courses in basic sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities. Cadets take elective courses to complete requirements for one of 32 major areas of study. About 50 percent of the cadets complete majors in science and engineer-ing; the remainder graduate in the social sciences and humanities. Some of the most popular majors include management, aeronautical engineering, foreign area studies, history, behavioral science, civil engineering, astronautical engineering, electrical engineering and engineering mechanics.

The U.S. Air Force Academy offers a four-year program of instruction and experience designed to educate, train and inspire men and women to become officers of char-acter, motivated to lead the United States Air Force in service to our nation. Each cadet graduates with a bach-elor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Air Force.

The majority of the Academy’s faculty members, more than 500 total, are Air Force officers. They are selected primarily from career-officer volunteers who have es-tablished outstanding records of performance and dedi-cation. Each has at least a master’s degree and more than 55 percent have doctorates or other terminal de-grees in their field of study.

About 30 percent of the faculty are civilians who bring great depth of disciplinary and educational expertise and provide academic stability and continuity.

Faculty members are intensely focused on cadet learn-ing as an integral part of their officer development. The Air Force Academy has been ranked No. 1 in the na-tion for the most accessible and involved faculty for four years in a row. To provide greater contributions by a diverse faculty, the Academy has several visiting professors and endowed professors who serve one or more years. Officers from other services, as well as officers from allied countries are also members of the faculty. Distinguished civilian and military lecturers also share their expertise with the cadets.

An air, space and cyberspace-oriented military educa-tion, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues throughout the four years. Seniors are responsible for the organizational leader-ship of the cadet wing, while juniors and sophomores seek to develop team and interpersonal leadership and instructional skills.

Cadets are projected into as many active leadership roles as possible to prepare them to be effective Air Force officers.

Fundamental concepts of military organization -- drill, ethics, honor, Air Force heritage and physical training -- are emphasized the first summer during basic cadet training. Freshmen study the military role in United States society, as well as the mission and organization of the Air Force. Sophomores receive instruction in com-munication skills and juniors study combat and opera-tional aspects of the Air Force.

The Academy offers courses in flying, navigation, soar-ing and parachuting, building from basic skills to in-structor duties. Some cadets may fly light aircraft with the Cadet Flying Team.

Summer training for cadets is divided into three, three-week training periods. There are a variety of programs available and each cadet is required to complete two training periods each summer with leave during the other period. All new cadets take six weeks of basic ca-det training in their first summer.

Combat survival training is a required three-week pro-gram during cadets’ second summer. For other second-summer training periods, cadets have options such as working with Airmen in an operational unit at an Air Force installation, airborne parachute training, soaring or basic free-fall parachute training.

During their last two summers, all cadets are offered leadership training as supervisors or instructors in the summer programs listed above.

Extracurricular activities also are an integral part of the education program. The cadet ski club, drum and bugle corps, cadet chorale and forensics are a few of the pro-grams available to Academy cadets.

Nominations to the Academy may be obtained through a congressional sponsor or by meeting eligibility criteria in other categories of competition established by law. For information on admission procedures, write to:

The Academy’s athletic program is designed to improve physical fitness, teach athletic skills and develop leader-ship qualities.

To achieve its goals, the Academy offers some of the most extensive physical education, intramural sports and intercollegiate athletic programs in the nation. Cadets take at least three different physical education courses each year.

LT GEN MICHAEL C. GOULD, SUPERINTENDENT

SENIOR LEADERSHIP


Dr. Hans J. Mueh is in his eighth year as the director of athletics at the Air Force Academy. A retired Air Force brigadier general, Mueh was vice dean of fac-ulty for two years prior to his retirement from active duty in the summer of 2004. He was heavily involved in Academy athletics before becoming director of athletics. He was the Academy’s faculty athletics representative from 1996-2004 and was a long-time member of the board of directors for the Air Force Academy Athletics Association.

Since becoming the director of athletics, Mueh has led the Academy to some remarkable feats. In 2007, the Academy was one of three schools (Michigan St., Boston College) to reach post-season play in football (2007), men’s basketball and ice hockey (2006-07). It marked the first time a service academy has ever had a team compete in the post-season in all three sports.

In addition, under Mueh’s watch the men’s basketball team has played in an NCAA tournament and the National Invitational Tournament’s Final Four. The ice hockey team won three straight conference championships and made three straight appear-ances in the NCAA tournament. Mueh was on the selection committee that hired current head coach Frank Serratore and led the Academy’s move into the Athletic Hockey Association. The football program, the Academy’s flagship sport, has gone through a major over-haul under Mueh. He led the transition from the retirement of the legendary Fisher DeBerry after 23 years at the helm to hiring current head coach Troy Calhoun, a 1989 Academy graduate. Calhoun’s impact was immediate, leading the Falcons to a 9-4 overall mark and a second-place finish in the Mountain West Conference in 2007. The Falcons qualified for their first bowl game in five years, playing in the Armed Forces Bowl in 2007. The program then posted back-to-back eight-win seasons and was 9-4 in 2010, while qualifying for bowl games every year. The school has averaged 9,000 bowl tickets sold during the four-year run.

Mueh has also been successful behind the scenes with the administration of the de-partment. Mueh restructured the department with an internal/external model that has streamlined resources and made the department more effective from top to bot-tom. In addition, he has the department on course to become a federally chartered non-profit organization which will lead to more fund-raising opportunities. Mueh was instrumental in the USAFA Endowment and the Holaday Athletic Center, a $15 million indoor training facility that was completed in July 2011.

Mueh has also been active within the conference and the NCAA. He is a part of the NCAA Division I Amateurism Cabinet and has been active on the NCAA’s academics/eligibility compliance cabinet, the men’s golf committee and the Region 7 postgradu-ate scholarship committee. Mueh has been equally active within the conference on various leadership committees. He is currently on the awards and recognition com-mittee and has previously served on the joint council executive committee, and com-mittees on championships, television and sportsmanship.

Before assuming his duties as vice dean at the Academy, Mueh was permanent profes-sor and head of the department of chemistry at the Academy, a position he held since October 1987 where he oversaw the annual design and instruction of 25 undergradu-ate courses for 1,500 cadets annually.

Mueh was born Jan. 8, 1944, in Celle, Germany, and emigrated to the U.S. in 1951. He entered the Air Force in 1962, as a member of the Academy’s eighth graduating class, and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in chemistry in 1966.

While at the Academy, Mueh was a two-year letterwinner in soccer as a goalie. He still holds the Academy record for saves in a game with 30, accomplishing it twice in 1965 against North Carolina and Benedictine. In his junior and senior years, Mueh helped the Falcons to the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League championship and quarterfinal berths in the NCAA tournament. He was a first-team all-league selection in 1965.

Following graduation, Mueh completed two assignments in intelligence before at-tending the University of Wisconsin where he earned his master’s degree in chemistry in 1970. He later earned a doctorate degree in chemistry from Wisconsin in 1976 as a distinguished graduate. Mueh also completed Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College and Air War College.

Between earning the two degrees, Mueh returned to USAFA as an instructor in the department of chemistry from 1970-72. He also served as assistant soccer coach and played semi-pro soccer with the Aurora Internationals in Denver during those two years, leading the Internationals to the Colorado state title in 1971.

He volunteered for duty in Vietnam and served as an intelligence officer in Saigon, Republic of Vietnam and at Nakhon Phanom RTAB, Thailand, in 1972 and 1973.

After earning his doctorate degree, Mueh returned to the Academy in 1976 as an as-sociate professor of chemistry. He remained at the Academy except for a stint in 1985-86 as the special assistant for technical matters at the Defense Intelligence Agency at the Pentagon.

In 1986, he assumed the position of acting head, department of chemistry, before being selected for his position of permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry in 1987. As faculty athletics representative, he was active in both the Western Athletic Conference and Mountain West Conference, and was the Academy’s representative on the transition team to form the new MWC, the only faculty athletics representative on the team.

He competes in golf, racquetball, handball and tennis, and has promoted Air Force Academy intercollegiate sports throughout his tenure, beginning with work as chair-man of the hockey eligibility committee, officer representative to the men’s golf team and five years as the officer representative to the football team.

Mueh is married to the former Sally Flax of Cincinnati, Ohio. They have three children: Kristine, Kurt and Deborah.

Few schools in the country have an athletic program as extensive as the Air Force Academy’s. The goals of the athletic pro-gram are to enhance the physical conditioning of all cadets, to develop the physical skills necessary for officership, to teach leadership in a competitive environment and to build character. There are three subdivisions of the athletic program: inter-collegiate athletics, intramurals and physical education.

The intercollegiate program has 17 men’s and 10 women’s NCAA-sanctioned teams, facing some of the top competition in the nation. Men’s teams are football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, cross-country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, rifle, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo and wrestling. The Academy fields women’s teams in basketball, cross-country, fencing, gymnastics, rifle, indoor and outdoor track, swimming and diving, soccer, tennis and volleyball. In addition, the Academy sponsors two non-NCAA programs; boxing and cheerleading.

The majority of the Academy’s men’s and women’s programs compete at the NCAA Division I level in the Mountain West Conference. The Falcons compete in this conference against teams from Boise State, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, TCU, UNLV and Wyoming. All sports also compete against non-conference opponents, including many ranked teams.

The football team competes annually for the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy, which is emblematic of service academy football supremacy. The Falcons have won the trophy 17 times, which is more than any other academy. The winner of the annual rivalry visits the White House to have the trophy presented by the President of the United States.

The USAFA Cadet Field House is one of the most impressive buildings in the country. It’s a modern, versatile structure with seemingly endless uses. The $5.6 million building is five stories high and 396 feet by 426 feet, the size of three football fields laid side by side. The structure is divided into three areas--basketball arena, ice hockey arena and multipurpose area. The three sections have a combined seating capacity of more than 9,000. Clune Arena seats 5,858. The Cadet Ice Rink has a seat-ing capacity of 2,470, while the multipurpose area seats 1,000 fans for track and field competitions.

The department’s newest facility, the Holaday Athletic Center, was completed in July 2011.

CADET FIELD HOUSE INDOOR TRACK

The Cadet Field House is considered one of the top athle c facili es in the country. This mul –purpose facility, built in 1968, houses the indoor track, basketball arena, and ice hockey rink for intercollegiate sports. The indoor track area, which can seat 1,000 fans in an elevated sea ng area, is at the second-highest eleva on of any track in the na on.

The track is a full-pour polyurethane surface of 268-meters (six laps/mile), with eight lanes on the straight-away and six lanes on the oval. Inside the oval is a FieldTurf surface that includes polyurethane runways for the pole vault, horizontal and high jumps, along with a throwing cage. The fi eld house is equipped with a full-size Daktronics scoreboard and message center along with event-specifi c AAE fi eld event scoreboards, and a FinishLynx computerized ming system.

In July 1997, the Academy’s Class of 1976 commissioned regional ar st Michael Esch to paint an eight panel canvas represen ng the life of an Academy cadet over four years. Each canvas is a 40-foot by 40- foot panel, painted in acrylic enamel that portrays the realism of Academy life since 1976. The panels hang on the north wall of the Field House indoor track and are a gi to the Athle c Department.

Tom Weston is entering his 16th year as the meet announcer for the Air Force track and fi eld team. Weston, who re red in 2010 a er seven years as the principal at Liberty High School in Colorado Springs, also works with the athle c department as the public address announcer for Falcon foot-ball and basketball games.

Aside from announcing all Air Force track and fi eld meets, Weston has been the announcer for the

last 15 conference indoor championship meets, as well as the last 12 outdoor championship meets. He has also announced the Colorado High School Ac vi- es Associa on (CHSAA) 4A and 5A Track and Field Championships and the 4A

and 5A Cross Country Championships.

In addi on, Weston is the announcer for the Mountain West Men’s and Wom-en’s Basketball Tournament, having held that posi on for the past 10 years. He also served as the announcer at the 2004 and 2008 NCAA Men’s Basketball First Round games at the Pepsi Center in Denver.

CADET OUTDOOR TRACK AND FIELD COMPLEX

A er a year of renova on and construc on, the $4.1-million Cadet Outdoor Track and Field Complex was completed in August 2011. The project included a complete renova on of the facility and a reloca on of the track’s radius points, shi ing the oval slightly to the north and west, while abu ng up against the hillside terrace on the west side. The common fi nish line was moved to the northeast corner in an eff ort to take advantage of the predominantly south and southwest winds in April-June. The move of the fi nish line also allows the 3,500 bleachers on the east side of the track to have a spectacular views of the Front Range.

The Falcons’ new facility features 100,000-square feet of surface installa on. The track oval, D-zones and jump aprons are a brilliant combina on of “Berlin Blue” and Grey colored surface. The synthe c surface is a “full-pour” polyurethane synthe c, with a light encapsula on top spraycoat of polyurethane to help resist weathering and discoloring due to high UV penetra on at this al tude. The oval features eight 48-inch lanes and the widest single radius allowable by the IAAF (36.50 meters, 119’6”). There is an inside steeplechase water jump on the southwest curve and a secondary fi nish line in the southeast corner for the 100- and 200-meter dashes, as well as the 100- and 110-meter hurdles to take advantage of alternate winds from the north.

For the fi eld events, there are two complete D-zones at each end of the infi eld. The facility boasts dual parallel long jump/triple jump runways on the homestretch side of the complex, with pits at each end, allowing for compe on capability from either the north-south or south-north direc ons. There are full-length javelin runways in each D-zone so that the throwers may work with the prevailing winds. There is a discus throw ring and cage on the north side, as well as a combina on discus throw/hammer throw cage and rings on the south end to provide the best advantage with wind.

There are also dual pole vault runways on the backstretch, allowing for boxes and pits in both the north-south and south-north direc ons. In addi on, there are two addi onal runways on the north D-zone, allow-ing vaulters to jump in a west-east direc on. The prominent pole vault area abuts against a hillside terrace, allowing spectators to sit on the grassy slope in a casual, picnic-style atmosphere. The high jump will be lo-cated in the north D-zone, with the capability of an approach of more than 80 feet in any of four direc ons.

The renova on cost included $225,000 of in-ground equipment, including cages, rings, toeboards, sand pit forms, vault boxes, pit pla orms, communica on boxes and curbing. It also included $175,000 of external equipment, including landing pads, standards, hurdles, star ng blocks, ming and measuring equipment, covered compe tor benches, performance display boards, lane markers and implement carts.

In addi on to the improvements to the track itself, several addi onal ameni es were added to the com-plex. A new “Meet Opera ons” building was built along the northeast corner of the track, even with the fi nish line, that will be used exclusively for computerized photo- ming and scoring. The former meet oper-a ons building was remodeled to include a press area with data ports and viewing windows on the second level, along with a new team lounge with mul -media capabili es. The lower level will remain designated for storage. An area for sports medicine will be located outside the mul -purpose building during meets.
