HEAD COACH DAN OOSTERHOUS 1993 GRAD ENTERS SECOND SEASON Lt. Col. Dan Oosterhous enters his second season as the men's tennis coach at the Air Force Academy after being named the program’s 12th head coach on October 1, 2009. Oosterhous, a 1993 graduate of the Academy, replaced legendary head coach Rich Gugat, who retired after 36 years at the helm of the men’s tennis program. Oosterhous led the Falcons to a 10-13 record last season and guided his team to a nine-match winning streak, the longest since the 1999-2000 campaign. He coached freshman Lance Wilhelm to 20 overall singles wins, including a 13-9 record at the No. 1 singles spot and a 2-1 mark against regionally ranked opponents. In addition, Brett Rodgers and Taylor Soster had an outstanding doubles campaign, posting a 21-12 overall record and a 14-8 mark at the No. 1 position. Their 21 wins were the most by an AFA team since the 2002-03 campaign. The Falcons were impressive off the court as well in Oosterhous’ inaugural season. Rodgers and Sam Barnes were named academic all-Mountain West Conference, while Mike Tope was named an MWC scholar-athlete for the second straight year. In addition to coaching, Oosterhous is an active instructor pilot in the Air Force Academy’s Powered Flight Program. The program, available to all cadets during their senior year, provides exposure to the aviation career field and gives cadets their first experience flying a single-engine aircraft, with an opportunity to solo to T-52 aircraft at the end of the program. Oosterhous returned to the Academy from Scott AFB, Ill., where he was the Chief of the Program Objective Memorandum branch and Executive Officer to the Director of Strategic Plans, Requirements, and Programs. In this capacity he was responsible for developing, coordinating, and presenting Air Mobility Command's appropriated budget consisting of 240 Mobility Air Force programs valued at over $110 billion. While at Scott AFB, he completed two deployment tours in Southwest Asia and most recently returned from Baghdad, Iraq, serving as an advisor to the Iraq Civil Aviation Authority. He successfully transitioned U.S. Air Force control of civil aviation operations back to Iraqi sovereignty for the first time since 2003. The coach is one of the best tennis players to graduate from the Air Force Academy. Oosterhous, the 1989 Texas High School 5A state singles champion, is fifth on the Academy's career list with 56 wins at the No. 1 singles position and second on the career list with 57 victories at the No. 1 doubles position. As a senior, Oosterhous posted an outstanding 22-3 singles record at the No. 1 position, the fourth best single-season winning percentage (.880) at that spot in program history. As co-captain, he led the Falcons to a phenomenal 25-2 dual match record in 1993, the best mark in the 53-year history of Air Force tennis. That season he earned his third team MVP award, one of just seven players in the program to win the award at least three times. He was also selected to the all-conference team in each of his four seasons at AFA and received the Arthur Ashe Leadership and Sportsmanship Award for Region VII. Oosterhous graduated from USAFA in 1993 with athletic distinction and a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. Upon graduation, he remained at the Academy as assistant men’s tennis coach

HELM

for the 1994 season and was the 1993 DOD Interservice Men’s Singles champion. Oosterhous then completed Euro-NATO Joint Pilot Training at Sheppard AFB, Texas, followed by assignment as C-21 Instructor Pilot and Chief of Training for the 457th Airlift Squadron, Andrews AFB, Md. He then served as C-5 Instructor Pilot and Chief Wing Air Mobility Director at Travis AFB, Calif. Oosterhous earned his master’s degree from the Air Force Institute of Technology by completing the Advanced Study of Air Mobility program and then served as C-5 Evaluator Pilot, Chief of Standardization and Evaluation for the 3rd Airlift Squadron and Senior Wing Executive Officer at the 436th Airlift Wing at Dover AFB, Del., before transferring to Scott AFB. Oosterhous, a native of Texarkana, Texas, is a senior pilot with over 3,000 hours in the C-5, C-21, T-38, and T-37. He is married to his high school sweetheart, Allison, and they have three children, Emma (14), Anna (12), and Andrew (10).

The Oosterhous Family Allison, Dan, Andrew, Emma and Anna

Head coach Dan Oosterhous posted an outstanding 22-3 record at No. 1 singles for Air Force as a senior in 1993.

2010-11 SEASON PREVIEW Entering his second season as head coach, Dan Oosterhous has high expectations for the Air Force men’s tennis team in 2010-11. With five returning starters and a talented recruiting class, the Falcons are poised to improve on last season’s accomplishments. Oosterhous, who took over the program from legendary coach Rich Gugat last October, led the Falcons to 10 wins in his first season. The new coach guided his team to a nine-match winning streak early in the spring en route to its best start (10-2) since 2003 which included a dramatic 4-3 victory over service-academy rival Army. In the second half of the campaign, the Falcons faced their toughest schedule in recent years, including seven top-75 teams. Unfortunately, the Falcons were unable to secure a victory in their final 11 matches to finish the season at 10-13 overall and 0-6 in the Mountain West Conference. During that span, however, four Falcons each won his first career MWC singles match and the team won the doubles point against a conference opponent for the first time in seven years. Oosterhous lost three seniors to graduation, two of them that played significantly during their four years at the Academy. Brett Rodgers and Austin Francis left the program after winning 41 and 39 singles matches, respectively, in his career. Rodgers’ 54 dual match doubles wins ranks him 18th on the school’s career list. James Tomlin also graduated and will join the team as an assistant coach in ’10-11. Leading the way this season is senior captain Taylor Soster, who paired with Rodgers for 40 of those doubles wins the last three seasons. The duo had an outstanding doubles campaign last year, posting a 21-12 overall record and a 14-8 mark at the No. 1 position. Their 21 wins were the most by an AFA team since current assistant coach Tyler McClung

Senior Alex Beaussart

and Eric Pittman combined for 25 during the 2002-03 campaign. Soster won eight singles matches last year as a junior and earned Mountain West Conference Player of the Week honors after going 4-0 against Seattle University and St. Peter’s College. Also returning for his senior campaign is Alex Beaussart, who won 12 singles and 10 doubles matches last season, more than doubling his previous career totals. He played the majority of the season at Nos. 5 and 6 singles and No. 3 doubles with Sam Barnes. Mike Tope is the lone member of the junior class this season. Tope, a local product from Colorado Springs, played just one match last season as a sophomore and was named a scholar-athlete by the Mountain West Conference for the second consecutive year for having a cumulative GPA over 3.5. Last year’s team MVP, Lance Wilhelm, leads a group of sophomores that saw significant playing time as freshmen a year ago. Wilhelm finished the season with a 20-14 overall singles record and a 13-9 mark at the No. 1 spot. He posted the first 20-win season for Air Force since Shannon Buck had 29 in 2005-06 and went 2-1 against regionally ranked opponents, including a season-opening 6-3, 6-4 triumph over Yannick Weihs of Denver, the Mountain Region’s second-ranked player. He also posted AFA’s first singles victory over BYU since 2006 with a 6-1, 3-6, 7-6(2) victory over Evan Urbina in his first career MWC match. Wilhelm had a successful doubles campaign as well, posting 15 wins, including 11 with Francis at the No. 2 spot. Barnes and Stephen Katrein are also back for their sophomore season. Barnes saw most of his action in doubles last year with Beaussart and was named to the MWC all-academic team for earning a 3.0 GPA last year. Katrein, meanwhile, won nine of his 20 singles matches, including a 4-3 mark at the No. 6 position. As much as the freshmen played last season, this year’s incoming class is expected to be even more productive. Air Force's recruiting class was ranked No. 29 in the nation among over 270 Division I men's programs by the Tennis Recruiting Network. This is Air Force's highest ever recruiting class ranking and also received a ranking of No. 7 among mid-major Division I schools. Leading the way are Lucas Marin-Salcedo (Weston, Fla.), Andy Jackson (Dayton, Ohio) and Alex Lineberry (Cornville, Ariz.). MarinSalcedo comes to the Academy with a very impressive junior record, including a national ranking of No. 56 by the Tennis Recruiting Network and No. 9 in the state of Florida. He won the USTA Florida Designated Tournament (YMCA Palms) in 2009 and 2010 and won 10 matches en route to winning consolation draw in Florida Open Championship in ’09. Jackson, meanwhile, was a four-time first-team all-conference selection in high school and was ranked No. 3 in the Ohio Valley section. He

Senior Taylor Soster

attended the USAFA Prep School last year. Lineberry was ranked No. 6 in Southwest section and advanced to the quarterfinals of 2010 Copper Bowl Tournament. Also joining the team this season are Alex Grubbs (Fort Worth, Texas), Ali Rizvi (Frisco, Texas), Stephen Young (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Danny Gies (Austin, Texas). Grubbs was ranked No. 35 in the state of Texas won the doubles title at the Corpus Christi Super Champ Major Zone Tournament in 2009, while Rizvi also achieved a ranking of No. 35 in Texas and won five rounds (two main, three consolation) at the 2010 Copper Bowl Tournament. Young is a two-time Tennessee High School State doubles champion and was ranked No. 9 in Tennessee and Gies advanced to the finals of the Bryan/College Station Super Champ Major Zone (2009) and the Houston Open Super Champ Major Zone, B-draw (2010). Following the Class of 1990 / 2000 alumni match on Saturday, Sept. 11, the Falcons will participate in four tournaments during the fall season. The team will travel to tournaments at Baylor (Sept. 23-26), Boise State (Oct. 6-10) and New Mexico (Oct. 7-10) before finishing the fall campaign at the ITA Mountain Region Tourney in Las Vegas, Nev., beginning Wednesday, Oct. 20. The 2011 spring season begins on Saturday, Jan. 22 against Montana State at the Academy and the Falcons host MWC opponents UNLV (March 10), TCU (March 31) and San Diego State (April 3) next spring. The MWC Championships begin on Wednesday, April 27 in Fort Collins, Colo.

C-17 Pilot Charleston AFB, SC

Twins Chris and Greg Zielinski played tennis at USAFA from 1999-2002, playing 108 doubles matches together in their four seasons. The duo, which posted a 63-45 record together, played No. 1 doubles for their final two seasons after alternating between the No. 2 and No. 3 positions as freshmen and sophomores. Greg is No. 11 on the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career list with 61 dual match doubles wins, followed by Chris, who is tied for 12th with 60. They were selected to the all-Mountain West Conference team for doubles following their junior and senior campaigns.

He played the majority of his senior season, which he co-captained, at the No. 3 singles spot. Greg, meanwhile, won 10 singles matches in his career. After graduating from the Academy in 2002 with a degree in management, the brothers both entered pilot training together at Moody AFB, Ga., in 2003 for T-6 training, then transferred to Del Rio AFB, Texas, for T-1 training. Upon pilot training graduation, both were fortunate enough to select C-17s at McGuire AFB, N.J., fairly close to their hometown of Ocean City, Md.. They were stationed together for about four years and lived in downtown Philadelphia. In mid-2009 Greg was stationed in California at Travis AFB while Chris headed south to Charleston AFB, SC.

The brothers frequently fly presidential support missions and Chris spent three weeks in 2008 flying missions to support President Bush's African Summit. Greg flew Vice President Dick Cheney in the C-17 from Europe to locations in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2008.

2010-11 MEN’S TENNIS GUIDE

THE USAFA The United States Air Force Academy offers a fouryear program of instruction and experience designed to educate, train and inspire men and women to become officers of character, motivated to lead the United States Air Force in service to our nation. Each cadet graduates with a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Air Force. COURSE OF STUDY Cadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that provides the knowledge, skills and responsibilities essential 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 additional elective courses to complete requirements for one of 32 major areas of study. About 50 percent of the cadets complete majors in science and engineering; 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.

FACULTY COMPOSITION 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 established outstanding records of performance and dedication. Each has at least a master's degree and more than 55 percent have doctorates or other terminal degrees 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 learning as an integral part of their officer development. The Air Force Academy has been ranked No. 1 in the nation 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 distinguished 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 during the academic year.

ATHLETIC PROGRAM The Academy's athletic program is designed to improve physical fitness, teach athletic skills and develop leadership 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.

GOAIRFORCEFALCONS.COM

MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING An air, space and cyberspace-oriented military education, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues throughout the four years. Seniors are responsible for the organizational leadership 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 then study the military role in United States society as well as the mission and organization of the Air Force. Sophomores receive instruction in communication skills and juniors study the combat and operational aspects of the Air Force. The Academy offers courses in flying, navigation, soaring and parachuting, building from basic skills to instructor 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 cadet training in their first summer. Combat survival training is a required threeweek program 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 programs available.

NOMINATIONS 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 HQ USAFA/RRS; 2304 Cadet Drive, Suite 200; USAF Academy, CO 80840-5025.

HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY In 1948, a board of leading civilian and military educators was appointed to plan the curriculum for an academy that would meet the needs of the newly established Air Force. The board determined that Air Force requirements 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 Symington appointed a commission to assist in selecting a site and on April 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized creation of the United States Air Force Academy. After considering 580 sites in 45 states, the commission narrowed the choice to three locations. 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 facilities at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while construction began. It was sufficiently completed for occupancy by the cadet wing in late August 1958. Initial construction cost was $142 million. Women entered the Academy on June 28, 1976, as members of the class of 1980.

SENIOR LEADERSHIP Lt. Gen. Michael C. Gould Lt. Gen. Michael C. Gould is Superintendent, U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Colo.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Dr. Hans J. Mueh and made the department more effective from top to bottom. 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 announcement of an Indoor Training Facility that broke ground in the summer of 2010. The $15 million facility will be completed in early 2011.

Dr. Hans J. Mueh is in his seventh year as the director of athletics at the Air Force Academy. A retired Air Force brigadier general, Mueh was vice dean of faculty for two years prior to his retirement from active duty in the summer of 2004. Mueh 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 only three schools (Michigan State and 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 appearances 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 overhaul 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 has posted back-to-back eight-win seasons and qualified for bowl games since, marking the first time since 1990-92 Air Force has been to a bowl three straight years. Mueh has been just as successful behind the scenes with the administration of the department. Mueh restructured the department with an internal/external model that has streamlined resources

GOAIRFORCEFALCONS.COM

Mueh has also been active within the conference and the NCAA. He was recently selected to be 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 postgraduate scholarship committee. Mueh has been equally active within the conference on various leadership committees. He is currently on the awards and recognition committee and has previously served on the joint council executive committee, and committees on championships, television and sportsmanship. Before assuming his duties as vice dean at the Academy, Mueh was permanent professor 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 undergraduate courses for 1,500 cadets annually. Mueh was born Jan. 8, 1944, in Celle, Germany, and emigrated to the United States 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 attending 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. He has also completed Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College and Air War College. Between earning the two degrees, Mueh returned to the Academy as an instructor in the department of chemistry from 1970-72. He also served as assistant soccer coach and played semipro 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 associate 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 chairman 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.

Director of Athletics Dr. Hans Mueh is in his seventh season as the Director of Athletics at the Air Force Academy. Mueh, a 1966 graduate of the Academy, was a two-year letterwinner on the men’s soccer team and still holds the school record for most saves in one game with 30. He set the record on Oct. 1, 1965 against North Carolina, then matched it the following game against Benedictine.

AIR FORCE ATHLETICS Few schools in the country have an athletic program as extensive as the Air Force Academy's. The goals of the athletic program 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: intercollegiate 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 The football team competes annually for the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy,

sponsors two non-NCAA programs; boxing and cheerleading. The majority of the Academy’s men’s and women’s programs compete at

against non-conference opponents, including many nationally-ranked teams.

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 seating capacity of 2,470, while the multipurpose area seats 1,000 fans for track and field competitions. The department’s newest facility is the Indoor Training Facility (pictured left), which will be completed in early 2011.
