NCAA TOURNAMENT HISTORY Christl Arena inside Holleder Center on the site of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point has been chosen as the host for the 68th NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships April 15-17. It marks the third time that the Academy has hosted the marquee event of the men’s intercollegiate gymnastics season. Army first hosted this event in 1950 in Hayes Gymnasium inside what is known today as Arvin Gymnasium. Christl Arena and Holleder Center, celebrating its 24th year as home to the Army Black Knights’ men’s and women’s basketball squads as well as men’s ice hockey program, is the site of two of college gymnastics’ most prestigious events. The 19th annual West Point Open, widely considered one of the most competitive gymnastics competitions on the East Coast, will take place at Christl Arena Jan. 15-16. Army has never won a team title at the NCAAs. However, the Black Knights did finish runner-up to Illinois in 1939 behind a stellar performance by senior team captain Robert Sears. The Black Knights have crowned six NCAA individual champions, including Sears a school-record three times. The former All-American, who would later escape from his captors as a prisoner of war during World War II, won national championships in high bar and rope climb in 1938 and on parallel bars in 1939. Other Army national champions include Ray Belardi (rope climb in 1939), John Claybrooke (rope climb in 1952) and Jon Aaronsohn (flying rings in 1960). Army’s gymnastics squad qualified for the 2004 NCAA Championships as a team for the first time since 1963. The Black Knights finished 12th that year followed by an 11th place finish in 2005, the last time they qualified as a team. Senior Brian Lee finished runner-up on the still rinks that year, earning All-America honors in the process. Penn State extended its NCAA record of team titles to 12 in 2007, while Oklahoma captured five of the last eight titles to boost its total to eight. Illinois, second behind Penn State with nine crowns, last captured a title in 1989, while reigning NCAA champion Stanford claimed its fourth title last year.

WEST POINT

THE PREMIER LEADER DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTION IN THE NATION The United States Military Academy is renowned because of its historic and distinguished reputation as a military academy, and as a leading, progressive institution of higher education. Made legendary in books and movies produced over the years, the Academy’s “Long Gray Line” of graduates includes some of our nation’s most famous and influential men: Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, George S. Patton, Omar Bradley, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight Eisenhower and Norman Schwarzkopf. Because of this superb education and leadership experience, West Point graduates historically have been sought for high level civilian and military leadership positions. Their numbers include two U.S. presidents, several ambassadors, state governors, legislators, judges, cabinet members, educators, astronauts and corporate executives. Today, West Point continues to provide hundreds of young men and women the unique opportunity to develop physically, ethically and intellectually while building a foundation for an exciting, challenging and rewarding career as an Army officer in the service of our nation. Cadets have much more responsibility in running the Academy than students in most other colleges or universities. It adds to the leadership experience. Cadets succeed at West Point because of the support they receive from the staff and faculty. After all, many faculty members are West Point graduates and understand the challenge cadets face on a daily basis. They also serve as ideal role models, showing cadets what Army life is like. The U.S. Military Academy’s primary strength is its ability to develop leaders of character who are committed to “Duty, Honor, Country” and selfless service to our nation.

DISTINGUISHED GRADUATES

AT WEST POINT, IT IS OFTEN SAID ... “MUCH OF THE HISTORY WE TEACH WAS MADE BY PEOPLE WE TAUGHT.” PAGE 8 • 2010 ARMY GYMNASTICS

DISTINGUISHED GRADUATES

BORMAN ROBERT E. LEE ’29 The Academy’s ninth Superintendent (1852-55), Lee was a model cadet during his four years at West Point. He graduated second in his class and never earned a single demerit during his four years at the Academy. At the beginning of the Civil War, he was selected to serve as Commanding General of the Army, but instead resigned his commission and was named General-In-Chief of the Confederate Army from 1861 to 1865. Lee’s surrender to Ulysses S. Grant (USMA 1843), at Appomattox Court House, Va., ended the Civil War. Fort Lee, Va., was named in his honor. ULYSSES S. GRANT ’43 Grant distinguished himself during the Civil War at the Battle of Vicksburg in 1863; his victory secured control of the Mississippi River for the Union. President Abe Lincoln later appointed him Commanding General of the Army in March 1864. On April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House, Va., Robert E. Lee (USMA 1829) surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to him, ending the Civil War. Grant later served as the 18th President of the United States from 1869 to 1877. Today, his image graces the $50 bill. GEORGE W. GOETHALS ’80 Goethals became an architect and was builder of the Panama Canal, 1904 TO 1914. JOHN J. PERSHING ’86 Considered the second most senior officer in Army history, behind only George Washington, Pershing served as commander of the American Expeditionary Force during World War I. The two-million-plus troops of the AEF made a decisive contribution to the defeat of Imperial Germany. Pershing’s abilities as a leader distinguished him among European commanders, and through repeated successes on the battlefield, promoted American prestige around the world. He served as Army Chief of Staff in 1921, and was named General of the Armies of the United States upon his retirement in 1924.

HAIG DOUGLAS MacARTHUR ’03 After World War I, MacArthur returned to West Point to serve as the Academy’s 31st Superintendent from 1919 to 1922. During that time, he was responsible for the revitalization of the Academy. He was later promoted to General of the Army and served as Supreme Allied Commander in the Pacific Theater during World War II. During that time, he received the Medal of Honor for leading defense preparation and operations on the Philippine Islands. He later served as Supreme Allied Commander, Japan, and as commander, United Nations Command in the Far East. He was one of only five officers to be promoted to General of the Army (five stars). GEORGE S. PATTON JR. ’09 “Old Blood and Guts,” Patton was one of the most colorful commanders in the Army. During World War II the famed commander of the 2nd Armored Division and later the Third Army displayed courage and daring as prominently as the pair of ivory handled revolvers he wore. Patton accomplished one of the most remarkable feats in military history in December 1944, when he quickly turned the Third Army northward to reinforce the Allied southern flank against the German attack in the Battle of the Bulge. The General’s doctrine of aggressive employment of massive armor forces continue to prove themselves in combat arenas around the world. OMAR N. BRADLEY ’15 During his career, Bradley earned a reputation as one of the best infantry commanders in World War II. He commanded the 82nd Airborne and 28th Infantry Divisions before going on to command the 1st Army and the 12th Army Group. After the war he served as Army Chief of Staff from 1948 to 1949 and served as the first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1949 to 1953. He was the last Army officer to be promoted to General of the Army (five stars), and the Bradley fighting vehicle is named in his honor.

KIMBROUGH DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER ’15 During World War II, Eisenhower served as Supreme Commander of Allied Forces Europe from 1943 to 1944, during which he led the D-Day invasion of Europe. During that time, he was promoted to General of the Army (five stars). After the war, he served as Army Chief of Staff from 1945 to 1948 and was named President of Columbia University in 1948. He served as the 34th President of the United States from 1953 to 1961 and was one of only five officers to be promoted to General of the Army (five stars). ALEXANDER M. HAIG JR. ’47 Haig served as Chief of Staff to President Richard Nixon from 1973 to 1974; Supreme Allied Commander in Europe 1974 to 1979; President of United Technologies Corporation 1980 to 1981 and Secretary of State during the Reagan administration from 1981 to 1982. FRANK BORMAN ’50 An astronaut from 1962 to 1970, Borman commanded the first circumlunar flight of the earth. He later served as President of Eastern Airlines. FIDEL V. RAMOS ’50 One of the Academy’s international cadets, Ramos served as a Philippine Army officer after graduation. He eventually became the country’s military Chief of Staff and later Secretary of National Defense. He also served as President of the Republic of the Philippines from 1992 to 1998. EDWIN E. ALDRIN ’51 An astronaut from 1963 to 1972, Aldrin participated in the first manned lunar landing with Michael Collins (USMA ’52) and was the second man to walk on the moon. EDWARD WHITE ’52 An astronaut from 1962 to 1967, White was the first man to walk in space and was one of the three astronauts killed in the Apollo I disaster in 1967.

KIMSEY H. NORMAN SCHWARZKOPF ’56 As Commander-in-Chief, United States Central Command from 1988 to 1991, Schwarzkopf’s command ultimately responded to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait with the largest U.S. deployment since the Vietnam War, including portions of the Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps as well as units from dozens of nations around the world. After retiring, Schwartzkopf received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. PETER M. DAWKINS ’59 Dawkins was Cadet Brigade Commander (First Captain of the U.S. Corps of Cadets) as a senior and became the third Heisman Trophy winner in Army football history. He later served as chairman and CEO of Primerica. JAMES V. KIMSEY ’62 Kimsey was the founding chairman of America Online, and was named chairman emeritus in 1996. He founded the Kimsey Foundation in 1996. MICHAEL W. KRZYZEWSKI ’69 Krzyzewski served as head basketball coach at West Point from 1974 to 1979 before assuming similar duties at Duke University. Krzyzewski has led the Blue Devils to three national championships and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in October 2001. He coached the U.S. at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. RAYMOND T. ODIERNO ‘76 Odierno commanded the 4th Infantry Division during the fall of 2003 which, along with Special Forces units, captured Saddam Hussein in December of that year. Odierno helped plan and coordinate the raid that netted Iraq’s fallen dictator. ROBERT S. KIMBROUGH ’89 Kimbrough was named one of 11 new astronaut candidates by NASA in May 2004. Kimbrough ranks among Army Baseball’s career leaders in saves. A veteran of Desert Storm, he currently works for NASA in Houston as a flight simulation engineer and participated in a space shuttle mission last fall.

WEST POINT PERSPECTIVES West Point offered me an educational opportunity so different, and so challenging from any other, the decision to attend was easy. The level of talent on the gymnastics team was extraordinary at that time, and having the chance to work with that group remains a significant highlight in my athletic career. Talented athletes like Matt Holm, Bob Boggs, and Arnie Ferrando, and tough coaches like Ned Crossley and Eric Malmberg demanded a high standard of work and performance that marked West Point as a leader in collegiate gymnastics - as it is now. While I am a product of the leader development program at West Point, I’m happy to have had the added benefit of being an athlete, as it was there that I really learned how to lead. -- George H. Rhyndance IV (USMA 1980) Army’s first Eastern champion on floor exercise (1980)

“West Point gives you more than any other university can. You don’t just come out with a degree. Every single minute that you spend at the academy - from the most mundane day to day things to the major milestones and challenges - shapes the person that you are going to be and prepares you for the toughest and most rewarding lifestyle you can lead. I wanted that type of experience; I wanted my college experience to make me into something more than every other person with a bachelor’s degree. I wouldn’t trade the hard work, late nights, unbreakable friendships, or even the mud, rain, and snow for anything.” -- George H. Rhynedance V (USMA 2007) Eastern high bar champion – joining father as the only father-son duo in Army history to claim titles. “Coaching at West Point for my ninth season is a privilege and honor. Working with our nation’s best student athletes is a humbling experience. It seems like the program gets stronger and stronger with every passing year. One day in the not so distant future, Army will contend for the National title again. “ --Assistant Coach Carmine Giglio

“West Point offers student athletes a challenge in all areas. I believe many young students want this challenge. Also, one can really meet their goals as an athlete and clearly a student. It is much easier to advance as a gymnast at other programs, but we recruit, train and produce quality champions that are well rounded.” -- Head Coach Doug Van Everen

THE U.S. MILITARY ACADEMY The mission of the U.S. Military Academy is to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country; professional growth throughout a career as an officer in the U.S. Army; and a lifetime of selfless service to the Nation. Founded on March 16, 1802, the Academy celebrated its Bicentennial in 2002. But West Point’s role in America’s history dates to the Revolutionary War, when both sides realized the strategic importance of the commanding plateau on the west bank of the Hudson River. Gen. George Washington considered West Point to be the most strategic position in America. He personally selected Thaddeus Kosciuszko, one of the heroes of Saratoga, to design the fortifications in 1778 after problems arose with French engineers originally placed in charge of the design. In 1779, General Washington transferred his headquarters to West Point. Continental soldiers built forts, batteries and defensive barriers. A 100-ton iron chain was extended across the Hudson to control river traffic. Today, several links from that chain are arranged at Trophy Point as a reminder of West Point’s original fortifications. In 1802 President Thomas Jefferson signed the legislation establishing the U.S. Military Academy to create an institution devoted to the arts and sciences of warfare. This effectively eliminated America’s wartime reliance on foreign engineers and artillerists. West Point became the nation’s first engineering school and served as the model for engineering programs which were eventually established at other colleges. Col. Sylvanus Thayer, the “Father of the Military Academy,” served as Superintendent from 1817 through 1833. He upgraded academic standards, instilled military discipline and emphasized honorable conduct. Early graduates were largely responsible for the construction of the nation’s initial railway lines, bridges, harbors, and roads. Although the curriculum maintains its focus on engineering, in recent decades the program of instruction has markedly changed, providing cadets a selection of more than 40 majors. This tradition of academic and military excellence, guided by a demanding standard of moral and ethical conduct, remains the cornerstone of the West Point experience. It is said at West Point that “much of the history we teach was made by those people we taught.” The Academy has produced famous leaders throughout its illustrious past…Civil War Generals Grant, Sherman, Lee, and Jackson, to name but a few. In World War I, 34 of the 38 corps and division commanders were graduates. World War II would see many graduates reach brigadier general or higher, to include Eisenhower, MacArthur, Bradley and Patton. In more recent conflicts, MacArthur, Ridgway, Westmoreland, Abrams, Schwarzkopf and Abizaid were in command. Academy graduates have also excelled in air and space exploration, and countless others went on from military service to become leaders in medicine, law, business, religion and science. Since its founding, the Military Academy fulfills the same mission as it always has . . . to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets. It accomplishes this mission by developing cadets in three essential areas: intellectual, physical and military. These developmental paths are balanced and fully integrated into the daily life of each young man and woman at the Academy. Intellectual growth is fostered through an academic curriculum that provides a broad liberal education in the arts and sciences. The electives program builds upon the foundation of the core, allowing cadets to develop even greater competence in selected areas. In addition, the fields-of-study and majors nurture the development of creativity, critical thinking, and self-directed learning, essential characteristics of 21st century officers. The four-year academic experience leads to a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Army. Physical development is achieved through a rigorous athletic and physical education program. Each cadet participates at the intercollegiate, club or intramural level each semester. This readies the cadet for the physical demands of military life and helps teach good judgment and self-discipline, even while under mental and physical stress.

Military development begins with the cadet’s first day at West Point. Most military training takes place during the summer, with new cadets undergoing Cadet Basic Training, or Beast Barracks, their first year, followed the second summer by Cadet Field Training. Cadets spend their third and fourth summers serving in active Army units around the world; attending specialty training such as airborne, air assault or northern warfare or helping to train the first- and second-year cadets. The Cadet Leader Development System seeks to give the cadets increasing responsibility until they are ready to receive their commissions and assume their duties as leaders in today’s Army. Moral and ethical values guide cadets throughout their four years at West Point. Commitment to the Academy’s “Bedrock Values,” based on integrity and respect for the dignity of others, begins on the first day. Integrity is reflected in the Cadet Honor Code which states: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.” Respect denotes that cadets treat others with the same respect and dignity they themselves would expect. At West Point, it is not enough to train leaders—they must be leaders of character. Admission is keenly competitive and is open to young men and women from all states and territories and from every socioeconomic level. Prospective cadets must receive a nomination by a member of Congress or from the Department of the Army. The Academy seeks candidates who possess records of success in academics, athletics and leadership indicative of well-rounded individuals. Although the life of a cadet is demanding, there remains an array of club activities ranging from golf, skiing, boxing, crew and orienteering to such organizations as the cadet radio station, Habitat for Humanity and Big Brothers-Big Sisters. Additionally, the U.S. Corps of Cadets hosts a Special Olympics event each spring. Today’s Military Academy is a vastly different institution from the small academy legislated into being by Congress in 1802. Originally just 1,800 acres, the Academy has grown to more than 16,000 acres. The first graduating class numbered just two men; today’s classes graduate more than 900 new officers annually, both men and women, who are prepared for leadership roles within the Army. With the expansion of knowledge and the changing needs of the United States Army and the nation, life at West Point has changed to keep pace. Ever mindful of its rich heritage, the U.S. Military Academy is developing leaders for tomorrow, and its focus remains the national needs of the 21st century.

CADET LIFE Cadets definitely have time for fun and relaxation despite a rigorous daily schedule. Competitive sports provide one outlet. The description that “every cadet is an athlete” is quite accurate. In addition to intercollegiate athletics, there are numerous competitive club teams such as sky diving, rugby, crew and sailing. There is an active intramural sports program with cadet companies competing against one another. •••••••••• The Cadet Activities Office coordinates more than 100 extracurricular activities. Among those are the Cadet Fine Arts Forum, the Cadet Glee Club and the Cadet Drill Team. You can be a disk jockey at the cadet radio station or learn to fly. There are dances and other social functions that bring students from neighboring colleges to West Point. •••••••••• There is also time for cadets to take advantage of the scenic Hudson Valley or even make trips to New York City. The Hudson Valley has something for everyone. Trails in the Catskill Mountains provide for both hiking and skiing. There is excellent fishing and boating, including white-water kayaking, in the surrounding lakes and rivers. New York City is just a 45-minute drive from West Point. There are opportunities to enjoy the Broadway theatres, comedy, culture, professsional sports, dining and nightlife that make New York City one of the entertainment capitals of the world. •••••••••• Cadet barracks are modern, well lighted and comfortable. There are two or three cadets in each room, with space for desks, closets, and beds. Cadets are required to purchase a personal computer for academic courses and projects, including a color monitor, central processing unit and a keyboard. There are some space restrictions that may limit the number of printers in each room. Each cadet also has a telephone. The cadet barracks also feature recreational rooms, lounges and study rooms.

CHRISTL ARENA One of the most popular and highly competitive collegiate gymnastics meets on the East Coast, the West Point Open, calls Christl Arena home. Christl Arena served as host of the 63rd NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships for the first time, in 2005 and will be the site once again this year.. Located inside Holleder Center, Christl Arena serves as a permanent home to Army’s men’s and women’s basketball teams, and has served as host for other sporting events to include wrestling. It has also been the site of various intercollegiate and high school championship tournaments. The arena was named for 1st Lt. Edward C. Christl Jr. (USMA ’44), who was killed in Austria in 1945. The building is constructed of concrete and steel-framed masonry complete with spectator and support facilities. It contains two concession areas, an Army Athletic Association gift shop, ticket office, sports medicine room, storage areas and offices for coaching and administrative personnel. Christl Arena has hosted the West Point Open for the past 18 years and attracts many of the top-ranked NCAA programs in the nation. Penn State has been a regular at the competition along with Temple, William & Mary and Navy, while Ohio and Nebraska have also participated. The competition has been highlighted by exhibition performances by some of the most recognized names in U.S. Gymnastics, including Olympians Blaine Wilson, John Roethlisberger, Kurt Thomas and Tim Daggett.

LOU GROSS SPORTS CENTER Located adjacent to Lichtenberg Tennis Center, off Stony Lonesome Road, just west of historic Michie Stadium and Holleder Center, Lou Gross Sports Center provides a first-class training and competition venue for Army’s gymnastics team. One of the jewels of Army’s “Margin of Excellence” athletic facilities enhance project, the state-of-the-art Lou Gross Sports Center was officially opened and dedicated Feb. 14, 2002 prior to a triangular gymnastics meet with Air Force and James Madison. Army’s gymnastics home is due to the generosity of lead donor Herb Lichtenberg (USMA ’55) and is named for Lou Gross (USMA ’54), a valuable friend and supporter. Gross Sports Center underwent a makeover the summer of 2005 with the addition of a 1,960-square-foot spectator viewing gallery, bleachers and an exterior stairwell providing a sparkling new entrance into the facility. The state-of-the-art complex, also received a sports gallery handicap elevator, coaches’ offices and an HVAC heating and air conditioning system in the process. Lou Gross Center has made a large impact on Army’s gymnastics program: • The Black Knights captured the 2005 ECAC/EIGL Championship – their first in 44 years and 12th overall. • Army earned its first team bid to the NCAA Championships since 1963 as the No. 12 seed in 2004; repeated the following year after winning the automatic bid by capturing the ECAC title and No. 11 spot. The Black Knights qualified again in 2007. • Posted a 10-3 mark over Navy and 12-2 showing versus Air Force over the past seven years en route to posting 53 wins over that span. In addition to serving as a permanent home to the nationally-ranked gymnastics team, Gross Center also benefits both the men’s and women’s basketball teams, giving them a top-notch practice facility to compliment Christl Arena in Holleder Center.

HEAD COACH DOUG VAN EVEREN Army’s gymnastics program ascended to new heights since the inauguration of the Doug Van Everen era at West Point in 1990. Now in his second decade, the level of success the 20-year mentor has reached is the reason the Black Knights continually rank among the nation’s leaders. Van Everen reached milestones in 2004 and 2005, leading Army to its first team bid to the NCAA Championships since 1963 as the No. 12 seed in 2004. The Black Knights made a return trip the following year after capturing their first ECAC title in 44 years, earning the automatic bid along with grabbing the No. 11 spot. The veteran mentor was presented with his 100th win along the banks of the Hudson on March 6, 2005, in a road victory at Springfield just one year after posting his 100th career coaching victory over Navy in Annapolis, Md. Van Everen has compiled a 53-29 mark over the past seven years, including a 13-1 record in 2003, along with an 11-1 showing that accompanied the ECAC Championship in 2005. After finishing runner-up for the Eastern title in 2003 and 2004, Van Everen and his Black Knights reached the pinnacle of college gymnastics on the East Coast five years ago (2005) when they secured the Academy’s first Eastern crown since 1962. Army has also dominated the service academy rivalry during Van Everen’s tenure at West Point, sweeping the first seven All-Academy Championships along with compiling a 15-1 dual mark against Air Force and a 12-3 verdict versus Navy during that span. Under Van Everen’s tutelage, the Black Knights ranked as high as No. 9 nationally in 2003 and 2004, and as high as 10th in 2005. Since taking over the program in 1990, Van Everen shows a 122-107 record at West Point. In addition, Army has been well represented individually at the NCAA Championships, qualifying as a team in 2004, 2005 and 2007 for the national tournament. Army qualified individually in 2006 when injuries decimated its ranks, while its largest group was a school-record 12 individuals competing in 2003. Committed to excellence, Van Everen is one of the most respected coaches in his profession. He was awarded East Regional “Coach of the Year” honors on the eve of the 2005 NCAA Championships, hosted by the U.S. Military Academy. It was the third time in his tenure and second over a three-year span that he garnered that award. The honor came two weeks after guiding the Black Knights to an 11-1 record and their first ECAC Championship since 1962. For that achievement, he copped ECAC “Coach of the Year” accolades for the second time. His gymnasts defeated defending ECAC cham champion and NCAA qualifier Temple during a 12-meet win streak in 2003 for their best start since 1979 en route to a 13 13-1 mark. That momentum carried into the 3-1 m postseason with a pair of runner-up finishes at the ECAC and USAGC C Championships, while closing with an NCAA All-America, five USAGC All-Americans and All-Am one US USAGC national champion. An excellent recruiter, Van Everen has coached several of the finest gymnasts c in Army history. Under his guidance, Imad A Haque, Ben Hayward, Mike Sivulka, Steve Marshall, Dustin Greenhill, Troy Pazcoguin, Matt Eckerman, John Robella and Brian Lee all laid claim to national and regional honors. He has tutored four NCAA All-Americans along with 16 Eastern champions. Haque, a 1993 and 1994 Eastern still rings champion, was the first All-American coached by Van Everen following a sixth-place finish at the 1994 NCAA Championships. Hayward was a three-time Eastern pommel horse champion who added an All-America certificate to his brilliant career following a fifth-place finish at the NCAAs in 1997. Green-

HEAD COACH DOUG VAN EVEREN hill and Lee, Army’s latest NCAA All-Americans, finished runner-up on the parallel bars (2003) and still rings (2005), respectively, for the highest showing in Van Everen’s tenure. Also claiming Eastern titles were Sivulka, Marshall, Pazcoguin, Matt Eckerman, John Robella, Lee and Mike Oliveira (2005), with George Rhynedance (2006) and Eliot Proctor (2007) the latest additions. Sivulka, a two-time Eastern pommel horse champion (1994 and 1995), ranked No. 1 in the nation throughout most of his junior year and was among the national leaders at season’s end. A parallel bars Eastern champion in 1995, Marshall captured the all-around title the following year to become the first Black Knight to win that crown since 1939. Marshall ranked as high as second nationally in all-around throughout his senior year, and was among the Top 10 in each of the six individual events. He also earned a spot on the senior national team in 1995 and was third on the vault at the USA Championships. Marshall was inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame with the second class in 2005. Pazcoguin ranked among the national leaders on vault his junior and senior campaigns and was a four-time NCAA qualifier. He was tabbed the “Senior Athlete of the Year” at the Eastern Championships in 2002 after garnering rookie honors in 1999. Eckerman became just the second Black Knight to capture an Eastern crown on floor exercise and first since 1980 when he claimed the title in 2002, while Robella won that crown the following year. Lee captured Army’s first still rings crown in 10 years at the 2004 meet. He also finished sixth on the rings at the Winter Cup Challenge and ranked No. 2 in the country all season. Oliveira was just the third sophomore under Van Everen to win a title when he copped medalist honors on parallel bars at the 2005 meet. Rhynedance made school history in 2006 when he joined his father George Sr. (1980) as an Eastern champion. Four Army gymnasts earned five USAGC All-America certificates at the 2003 championships. Lee, crowned a national champion on still rings, joined Mike Tiffany (parallel bars, still rings), Chris Kennedy (pommel horse) and Robella (high bar) in garnering AllAmerica honors. Robella was also named a USA Gymnastics scholar-athlete. All but one of 14 school records (team and individual) were shattered during Van Everen’s tenure before a new scoring system was implemented in 2008 geared towards an open-ending scoring system. Four years ago Army rebroke the school vault record during

a period when the rules for scoring made it difficult to receive high marks. Van Everen guided the Black Knights to runner-up honors at the ECAC Championships three times over a six-year span. Army’s placing in 1999 was its highest in over a decade, and the Black Knights repeated in 2003 and 2004. Army gymnasts have also excelled as students. The Black Knights ranked among an elite group of 20 teams selected in 1998 for national academic honors by the College Gymnastics Association. Army placed 12th with a 3.07 team grade-point average, beating both Navy (15th) and Air Force (16th). Jeff Means, Hayward and John Doss were among 49 individuals honored as scholar-athlete All-Americans, who earned a 3.5 grade-point average or better, while most recently Oliveira was named a College Gymnastics Association 2005 All-America scholar-athlete. In addition to turning out nationally ranked gymnasts, the U.S. Military Academy has become a showcase as one of the premier venues for prominent gymnastics meets. Army served as the host for the 63rd NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships in 2005, and will be the venue again in 2010. The Black Knights hosted the ECAC Championships in 2008 and will do so again in 2009 at Gross Sports Center. Van Everen, who worked tirelessly to bring that event to West Point, also administers the annual West Point Open, one of the

PAGE 19 • 2010 NCAA GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIPS HOST

largest meets on the East Coast. Prior to becoming Army’s sixth head coach, Van Everen was the head mentor at San Jose State for three years (1987-90). He directed his squad to an 8-11 record and a trip to the NCAA Western Regionals his final year in compiling a mark of 12-32. Van Everen has made a name for himself on the national level. He has served as president of the College Gymnastics Association and coached the USA national team in 1995 and 1996. He has also served as chairman of the NCAA Gymnastics Rules Committee, has been on the Board of Directors of USA Gymnastics and developed the College Gymnastics Foundation in 1996 for which he currently serves as president. Van Everen graduated from Cal-State Fullerton in 1987 with a degree in physical education. A four-year letterwinner as an allarounder, he led CSF to the NCAAs in 1985. The experience gained working at clinics, clubs, camps and youth gymnastics started Van Everen on the path to coaching and helped secure the head position at San Jose State following his graduation from college. During that coaching stint, he earned his master’s degree in athletic administration from St. Mary’s of California in 1990. Six years later, Van Everen completed his doctoral requirements in athletic administration. Van Everen and his wife Terri reside at West Point with their two sons, Kirk (20) and Connor (16). Kirk is a member of the USMA Class of 2011.

ASSISTANT COACH CARMINE GIGLIO When Carmine Giglio joined Army’s gymnastics staff 10 years ago, head coach Doug Van Everen gained a skilled and talented assistant who helped him bring the Black Knights to the forefront of collegiate gymnastics. As two of the most respected coaches in the field, the Army duo were honored at the conference and national level in 2005, earning four coaching awards between them. Giglio was the recipient of the College Gymnastics Association (CGA) National Assistant Coach of the Year award shortly after copping ECAC “Assistant of the Year” accolades, and Van Everen earned ECAC and CGA East Regional “Coach of the Year” honors. The duo guided Army to an 11-1 record that year and its first ECAC Championship since 1962. Since his arrival at West Point, the Black Knights have sported an overall record of 67-37 (.644) and have crowned an Eastern League champion seven of the last nine years. In 2004, Army earned its first bid to the NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships since 1963, then won its first ECAC title in 44 years the following spring along with the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Army sent a school-record 12 individual qualifiers to the NCAAs by his third season (2003), along with back-to-back runner-up honors at the ECAC Championships in 2003 and 2004. Giglio has helped Army win the AllAcademy title seven straight years along with a 15-1 showing against Air Force and 13-3 versus Navy en route to compiling a dual winning percentage of 87 percent (28-4) over its service-academy rivals during that span. His first season (2001) was marked by the Black Knights posting their second-highest winning percentage (.667) under Van Everen along with an Eastern Col. Greg Daniels League champion Head Officer and a record eight Representative gymnasts qualifying

for the NCAA Championships. Army defeated Navy three times during the season en route to an 8-3 mark. His second season saw Army crown its first Eastern champion on floor exercise since 1980 along with six gymnasts qualifying for the NCAA Championship meet. Army also defended its title at the All-Academy Championships, outpointing both Navy and Air Force. The 2003-2005 seasons have proven to be the most superb in school history. In 2003, Army authored a 13-1 dual mark, posted a pair of second place finishes at the ECAC and USAGC Championships, qualified a record 12 individuals for the NCAA Championships and claimed an All-American. The Black Knights crowned an ECAC champion and USAGC national champion along with five USAGC All-America certificates. The 2004 campaign at that point was the finest under Van Everen and Giglio with Army earning a berth to the NCAA Championships following a second-place finish at the ECAC Championships, where the Black Knights crowned their first ECAC still rings champion in ten years. Wins over Navy and Air Force once again were included in Army’s 10-4 mark. The 2005 season was highlighted by Army’s first ECAC title since 1962, an 11-1 record along with crowning an Eastern champion. George Rhynedance captured an Eastern title on the high bar in 2006 and Eliot Proctor followed on the parallel bars in 2007. As a collegian, Giglio enjoyed a standout career at Western Michigan. The three-time captain became the first Bronco to qualify for the NCAA Championships in all-around follow-

ing a ninth-place finish at the East Regionals his senior campaign. After earning his bachelor’s degree in exercise science with a minor in health in 1990, Giglio began his coaching career on the staff at the International Gymnastics School. During that three-year period, he also competed at the 1992 USA Gymnastics Championships and the 1993 Winter Cup Challenge. A native of Syracuse, N.Y., Giglio won state titles in the all-around, pommel horse and horizontal bars in leading Henninger High School to the No. 1 state ranking in 1985. He was also a junior national qualifier. Giglio and his wife Kelly reside in New Windsor, N.Y., with their sons Jase Anthony (3) and Caden Park (1).

SEASON OUTLOOK The NCAA Men’s Division I Gymnastics Championships returns to West Point this spring for the second time in five years and third in Army history. Coach Doug Van Everen has been gearing up for the meet since last qualifying as a team in 2007. Army finished 11th in 2005 with Brian Lee named an All-American after capturing the silver on the still rings, while placing 12th two years later. After coming up short in their bid to qualify as a team for the championships the last two years, the host Black Knights want to conclude the 2010 campaign as part of the 12-team NCAA field in April. Van Everen has a sold foundation with the return of seven lettermen, including team captain Ty Smith, an NCAA all-around qualifier, senior Justin Sappington, junior Tim Tieng and sophomores Jonathan Hoey and Chase Brown. Van Everen will be looking to showcase the rising stars on a roster that includes a freshman class that could rank among the finest in his tenure. This group has set its sights high and is poised to return the Black Knights to the forefront of the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference as well as ranking among the national leaders. “We set a solid foundation with the upper classmen to do well this year,” explained the 20-year Army mentor. “We have a very strong team with the perfect balance of talent, youth and experience. We are in excellent shape after working on various skills that will benefit us this year. Van Everen is confident that several of this year’s squad will step up and return the team to its former winning ways after suffering through back-to-back losing seasons. Army lost just one member of last year’s squad to graduation, while bringing in seven freshmen in rounding out the Black Knights’ 15-man roster that has just four upperclassmen. “We are definitely a better team not only with the experience gained last year, but the improvements made as well,” added Van Everen. Seniors Smith and Sappington will not only be relied on for leadership to a young squad, but are strong all-around competitors as well. Nolan Melson and Tieng are the lone two members of the junior class. Sophomores Brown, Hoey, Zack Linton and Brandon Long add to the Black Knights talent pool supported by a strong freshman class expected to make an immediate impact led by Ikaika Jakub and Garrek Hojan-Clark. Army was lacking depth the past two years, but it is its biggest asset this season. Van Everen noted that “it is interesting how it will come together this year and we will put in the strongest and most consistent team in every meet. We are a significantly different team and we are about 15 points better than last year.” Army’s squad is its strongest and healthiest since 2007 which allows Van Everen and long-time assistant coach Carmine Giglio to focus their attention on leading the Black Knights to a breakout year as they look to make their mark at the ECAC Championships and the NCAA Tournament. FLOOR EXERCISE Army boasts two of the best tumblers in the nation in n sophomore Chase Brown and freshman Ikaika Jakub. Their toughest competition should come from each other as they look to lead a floor team that has a solid nucleus returning. Brown was injured after the first meet last year, but has made remarkable improvements, and according to Van Everen, has one of the best floor routines in the country. Jakub, a four-time Junior Olympic Qualifier and eight-time Regional Qualifier, adds significant talent to the lineup and will challenge, along with Brown, for the ECAC title.

Upperclassmen Ty Smith, Nolan Melson and Justin Sappington were among last year’s tumble leaders, while sophomore Zack Linton along with freshmen Jared Breeden and Jared Griffin will be providing power and depth to this event. 2009 Floor Exercise Statistics Team Best: 53.85 vs. Air Force (1/31) Individual Best: Kelson Lumpkin (14.00) at All-Academy Championships (2/14) POMMEL HORSE There is a wealth of depth of talent on pommel horse with the return of several top contenders from last year in Ty Smith, Justin Sappington, Jonathan Hoey, Tim Tieng and Zack Linton. Based on the preseason, Van Everen will look to newcomer Garrek Hojan-Clark to deliver the top performance. The freshman has the talent to rank among the finest horsemen at Army since the 1990s when Mike Sivulak and Ben Hayward captured multiple ECAC titles. Also looking to break into the lineup is freshman Gregory Fearnley. 2009 Pommel Horse Statistics Team Best: 53.25 at All-Academy Championships (2/14) Individual Best: Justin Sappington (14.20) at All-Academy Championships (2/14) STILL RINGS Army has experience on still rings where veterans Justin Sappington, Ty Smith, and Nolan Melson provide a strong foundation with freshman Kip Webber looking to contribute immediately. A Massachusetts state rings champion, Webber will help make this event one of Army’s strongest in years. Added depth will be provided by sophomore Brandon Long, who was on the injured list last year, and newcomers Jared Breeden, Nicholas Fettinger, Jared Griffin and Ikaika Jakub. Fettinger (Michigan) and Griffin (Georgia) were state champions. 2009 Still Rings Statistics Team Best: 53.40 vs. Springfield (3/8) Individual Best: Justin Sappington (14.05) vs. Temple/ Navy (3/21) VAULT Vault was not a strong event for the Black Knights last year, but with sophomore Chase Brown healthy along with the talent and ability of freshman Kim Webber, Van Everen feels it will be Army’s strongest as both are explosive vaulters who deliver solid performances. Ty Smith, who had a team-high 15.05, Tim Tieng, Justin Sappington and Nolan Melson led the Black Knights last year, while newcomer Jared Breeden adds increased depth to that position. 2009 Vault Statistics Team Best: 59.65 vs. Penn State (1/10) Individual Best: Ty Smith (15.05) vs. Penn State (1/10) PARALLEL BARS Army possesses a depth of talent on parallel bars with the newcomers helping make it a strong event with no less than 12 gymnasts in the mix. The Black Knights will look to veterans Tim Tieng, Ty Smith, Nelson Lumpkin and Justin Sappington to perform well in this event. Sophomore Chase Brown along with freshmen Greg Fearnley, Jared Griffin, Garrek Hojan-Clark and Ikaika Jakub will also be factors in Army’s success.

2009 Parallel Bars Statistics Team Best: 50.75 vs. Navy (2/7) Individual Best: Jonathan Grey (13.70) at West Point Open (1/16) HIGH BAR Though not as strong as the other five events, Army is still solid on high bar where Ty Smith, Justin Sappington and Tim Tieng will be the core of the team. Sophomore Chase Brown is strong and could be in the top four with increased depth provided by freshmen Nicholas Fettinger, Jared Griffin and Garrek Hojan-Clark. 2009 High Bar Statistics Team Best: 52.90 at West Point Open (1/16) Individual Best: Justin Sappington (13.90) vs. Navy (2/7) SCHEDULE Army has kicked off the season the past seven years against Penn State, ranked No. 6 in the preseason coaches’ poll. The Black Knights make their home debut the following weekend (Jan. 15-16) hosting the 19th annual West Point Open at Christl Arena, which will also be the site for the NCAA Championships in April. The Black Knights will be on the road for three straight weekends starting with a visit to Massachusetts for a tri-meet with ECAC rivals Springfield and Navy. A busy February awaits the Black Knights as they open the month with a trip to Annapolis, Md., for the annual “Star” meet with Navy (Feb. 6). Army then heads to Laguna, Calif., to compete at the annual All-Academy Championships that includes two-time defending champion Navy and Air Force. The Black Knights return home to host ECAC foe Temple (Feb. 19) followed by a return trip to New England for a meet with the Pride Sunday afternoon (Feb. 28) in rounding out the month of February. Army opens March with a home tri-meet with Springfield and SUNY Brockport (March 6), while a dual with Air Force on March 12 at Gross Center rounds out the Black Knights’ home slate. The Black Knights wrap up the regular-season on the road with a visit to conference rival and this year’s ECAC host William & Mary (March 19). Army returns to Williamsburg, Va., in April for the conference championships as the Black Knights look to challenge for the team title and automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. West Point’s Christl Arena will take center stage as the host for the 68th National Collegiate Men’s Gymnastics Championships April 15-17. OVERVIEW The season features the talents of the returning veterans looking to step up along with a freshman class, rated one of the best in school history, providing the perfect balance of talent, youth and experience as the Black Knights look to challenge for the ECAC title along with a bid to the NCAA Tournament. “I feel that the Penn State meet and West Point Open will put us back on track and that we should be in good shape for the rest of the dual meets,” noted Van Everen. We have the muscle and more opportunities because of this year’s talent then we have had the past couple of years.” “Last year we kept our routines simple, but we will not be as conservative this year because of the level of the veterans and freshmen. We are executing well and the scores will jump a lot.” Van Everen also feels this year that three members of the team, Chase Brown and Ikaika Jakub on floor exercise, along with Garrek Hojan-Clark (pommel horse), will figure prominently in the lineup and could vie for All-America honors.

THE ECAC The Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) is the nation’s largest athletic conference and only multi-divisional conference, with 321 member institutions and over 122,000 studentathletes ranging across 16 states from Maine to North Carolina and westerly to Illinois. Established in 1938 with 58 charter members, the ECAC has since emerged as the nationwide leader in service. The Asa S. Bushnell Center, named after inaugural commissioner Asa S. Bushnell, 1serves as the main office for the ECAC. It is located in Centerville, Mass., on Cape Cod. After Asa S. Bushnell molded the organization from its formation to his retirement in 1970, George Schiebler took over as commissioner from 1970-72. Robert M. “Scotty “Whitelaw (1972-89) guided the ECAC through one of the most significant events in its history, as the Eastern Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (EAIAW) was consolidated into the ECAC in 1983. With the addition of women’s sports, the ECAC doubled its number of championships and greatly increased its membership. Clayton Chapman (1989-98), Phil Buttafuoco (1998-06), and Steve Bamford (2006-07) have also carried the title of commissioner through the last 20 years. Current commissioner Rudy Keeling assumed chief administrator duties on May 1, 2007. The ECAC maintains two primary websites - one dealing with administrative issues, while the others serve as a fan-friendly site for news and results for all athletic events. Through the ECAC.tv web casting, the conference has the ability to showcase the excitement of college athletics within the 15-state footprint to a national and international audience. The ECAC also coordinates with institutions, television vendors and broadcast partners to televise quality sports programming on regional networks including Comcast (CN8 Sports), College Sports Television (CSTV), Entertainment and Sports Programming Network - University (ESPNU), and the New England Sports Network (NESN). The prestigious Asa S. Bushnell internship program, named after the first commissioner of the ECAC and established in 1976, offers college graduates from ECAC member institutions hands-on experience in all areas of the only multidivisional conference in the country. Former interns represent the ECAC in all fields of the sports industry as directors of athletics, commissioners, broadcasting executives, professional franchise front-office executives, sports information directors and coaches.

University of Chicago-Illinois captured the 2009 ECAC/EIGL Championships at West Point’s Gross Center.

PAGE 37 • 2010 NCAA GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIPS HOST

The ECAC Gymnastics Conference was formerly known as the Eastern Intercollegiate Gymnastics League or EIGL. In 1987, a separate ECAC championship was initiated to have a conference championship for those teams not in the EIGL. For the first four years of the ECAC Championships, no title was contested and not all the EIGL teams took part. With the dwindling number of teams and the, more or less, redundancy of the two “conference” championships, it merged into one championship in 1998. The EIGL, which started officially in 1926, marked its 80th year in 2005 that the official Eastern College Gymnastics Championship has been conducted. The first NCAA championship was in 1938, but prior to that, gymnasts came from as far away as Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois to take part in the EIGL Championships, which served as an unofficial national collegiate championship. During the early years, the Ivy League Schools dominated, then Navy won seven titles in a row. Track and field events were part of the gymnastics conference, even in the early Olympic Games. As late as the 1950 World Championships, gymnasts also had to compete in track and field events like the 100 meter dash, shot put, long or high jump, and pole vault, but in addition to height, they had to show good form. Gymnastics is one of the oldest sports with national championships, which were first conducted in 1885, and have been conducted ever since. The current ECAC gymnastics schools include Army, Illinois-Chicago, MIT, Navy, Springfield, Temple and William & Mary.

ARMY GYMNASTICS HISTORY

PAGE 39 • 2010 NCAA GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIPS HOST

ARMY GYMNASTICS HISTORY Army, which ushers in its 83rd gymnastics season in 2009, celebrated its 80th season of intercollegiate competition in 2005 by capturing its first ECAC title in over 40 years and hosting the NCAA Men’s Division 1 Gymnastics Championships. Head coach Doug Van Everen has tutored two All-Americans in the past four seasons, restoring Army gymnastics’ proud tradition and making the Black Knights the “Beast of the East” for the first time since the 1960s. With more than 500 career dual match victories to its credit, Army enters the 2009 campaign caught in a rebuilding season. Van Everen brought in a talented freshman class that he feels will play a key role next year when the Black Knights host the NCAA Championships at West Point. THE EARLY YEARS Francis Dohs, the program’s first head coach, mentored the gymnastics squad for nearly six years, resigning after six meets in 1931 with an overall record of 19-18. His successor, Thomas E. Maloney, set the stage for all future West Point gymnasts and head coaches by establishing the Cadets as one of the nation’s elite programs. He enjoyed immense success as Army’s head coach for the next 36 years, leaving as the Academy’s all-time winningest head coach — a distinction he still holds today. From 1931 to 1966, Maloney’s charges compiled a 211-34-6 (.853) mark and captured 11 Eastern titles, nine of those outright. A total of 11 Maloney-coached teams were undefeated, and his 1934 squad was the first to win an Eastern championship. One of the most successful gymnasts to come out of the Academy during the Maloney era was Robert Sears, who closed out his career as a three-time national champion.

He was the first Black Knight to win a national title on the horizontal bar and rope climb in 1938, and repeated as the rope climb champion in 1939. The following year, the Army team captain was crowned a national champion on parallel bars while Ray Belardi won the rope climb in leading the Black Knights to a secondplace finish at the NCAA Championships. Eight years after graduating, Sears went on to win National AAU championships on the long horse (1947) and parallel bars (1947).

He also developed three Eastern champions — Scott Shorr (1978) and Chris Adams (1982) on the vault and George Rhynedance (1980) on floor exercise. Rhynedance shared first-place honors at Easterns on floor exercise in 1980 along with a second place on the high bar and third on vault. He qualified for the NCAA Championships and just missed the finals on vault and the high bar. Crossley compiled a 108-45 (.706) winning percentage during his 12 years (1972-84) as the head coach.

Horseman Richard Berry competes in 1924, two years before gymnastics became a varsity sport.

THE LARRY BUTLER ERA Larry Butler, an assistant on Ned Crossley’s staff, took over the head reigns of the program from 1986 through 1990.

ARMY GYMNASTICS HISTORY NCAAs. Ranked as high as No. 3 nationally, Haque broke his own school record with a 9.80 against Syracuse and tied it in a win over Navy. Haque defended his title in 1994, bettered his school mark (9.9), while his second trip to the NCAAs earned him All-America honors after finishing sixth. He was among the eight national finalists for the Nissen Award – handed out to the country’s top male gymnast. In 1994, Steve Marshall, Mike Sivulka, Haque and James Lewis qualified for the NCAA East Regionals, while also earning trips to nationals. Sivulka, who won an Eastern title on pommel horse, just missed the finals at the national meet in placing 11th. Marshall tied for 16th in the all-around and Lewis ranked 36th on floor exercise. 1996-99 WITH VAN EVEREN In 1995, Marshall and Sivulka ranked among the national leaders and once again qualified for the NCAA Regionals. Sivulka held the nation’s top spot on the pommel horse into late March. He tied for first place at the EIGLs in defending his title. In spite of shattering his school mark at regionals, Sivulka fell short of qualifying for the NCAAs. Marshall competed on vault and the allaround in his second trip to the NCAAs. He finished two spots shy of All-America honors after placing eighth on the vault. He was 20th in all-around. Ranked nationally in all-around scoring since his freshman year, Marshall listed as high as second in the country and in the Top 10 in the six individual events. After winning the all-around title at the Eastern meet, the first Black Knight since 1939 to do so, Marshall injured his ankle on his dismount on high bar in the first event during competition at the NCAA East Regional meet. Limited to competing only on the pommel horse, he placed ninth overall and second among the individual qualifiers, good enough to earn an NCAA bid where he finished 35th. Marshall became the second gymnast inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame in November 2005. Ben Hayward wrote the headlines the next three years. In 1997, he won the Eastern title on the pommel horse and qualified for the East Regionals along with team captain Peter Gizzi, Mike Bush and freshman Jason Delmarty. Ben Hayward went on to finish runner-up on the horse at regionals to earn a trip to the NCAAs, marking the fifth straight year Army sent a representative to the national competition. There, he copped All-America honors following a fifth-place finish, becoming just the eighth Black Knight to earn that certificate

In 1999, Hayward captured his third straight pommel horse title and freshman Troy Pazcoguin was named the ECAC “Rookie of the Year.” Hayward closed out his career by qualifying for the NCAA East Regional for the fourth straight year and was joined by Pazcoguin and Delmarty. Hayward tied for fourth on the horse at regionals and Pazcoguin shared 14th place on the parallel bars as both qualified for the NCAA Championships. It was the second trip to the nationals for Hayward, who at one point

ranked first in the nation on the horse. At the NCAAs, Hayward tied for 13th place on the horse and Pazcoguin shared 36th on parallel bars. 2000-05 WITH VAN EVEREN In the first year of the new millennium, the Black Knights sent six gymnasts to the nationals in a new format that had the East and West regions competing together. Scott Harris and John Robella ranked third in the East on floor exercise and parallel bars, respectively, and Pazcoguin (vault) was seventh in 2000. A new scoring format posed a difficult chal-

Army’s contingent was the secondlargest among the 56 individual qualifiers. Pazcoguin, making his third straight NCAA appearance, advanced to the preliminary round where he tied for fifth. Earlier he was crowned an Eastern champion on vault and was runner-up on high bar, leading Army to a fifth-place finish at the ECAC Championships. In 2002, Army defeated Air Force in dedicating its new facility, Lou Gross Sports Center, in mid-February, and then successfully defended its All-Academy Championship later in the month. Eckerman was crowned an Eastern champion on floor exercise, becoming only the second gymnast in Army history to win that event. Pazcoguin was selected the ECAC “Senior Athlete of the Year.” Pazcoguin qualified for the NCAA Championships, meeting the standard in all-around for the third consecutive year. Robella and Matt Eckerman also qualified for the third straight year. Robella became Army’s second gymnast under the new scoring format to advance to the preliminary round following a ninth-place finish on floor exercise, but fell short of qualifying for the finals after tying for 16th place. In 2003, Army defeated Navy and Air Force twice during the dual meet season, and snapped a five-meet losing streak to Temple. Army ranked as high as No. 9 nationally in the GymInfo poll for its best showing under Doug Van Everen. Following a second-place finish at the ECAC Championships, the Black Knights qualified their largest individual contingent (12) for the national meet. Senior team captain Dustin Greenhill closed out his career with All-America honors on parallel bars following a second-place finish at the NCAAs. He is just the fourth Army gymnast to earn accolades in that event. Lee, who finished ninth at the NCAAs on still rings, was one of four Black Knights to earn USAGC All-America honors that year after being crowned a national champion in his specialty. Freshman Mike Tiffany earned a pair of certificates on parallel bars and still rings with Robella (high bar) and freshman Chris Kennedy (pommel horse) rounding out the AllAmerica USAGC list. Heading into the NCAA meet ranked No. 2 all season on still rings, Lee reached the individual finals for the second straight year, but came up short in his bid for All-America honors. Lee was crowned the individual champion on rings at the ECAC Championships after helping

the Black Knights to runner-up honors, but lost out on scoring average for an NCAA bid. Brandon Whitten was n a m e d the “ECAC Rookie of the Year”.

It is meritocracy in action. Race, religion, wealth, background count not.” - PRESIDENT GEORGE H.W. BUSH “How great it must be, gosh how great it must be to be a member of this Corps.

WHY WEST POINT?

“My four years at West Point were wonderful. I loved every minute of it and particularly the last three years. I loved the history. I loved the tradition. I liked wearing the uniform. I felt like I belonged there. Everything was meaningful to me. There is no question in my mind the proudest day of my father’s life was the day I graduated from West Point. There is a picture of the two of us standing on ‘The Plain’ and he is just beaming.” - GENERAL H. NORMAN SCHWARZKOPF “I was so proud to be on the verge of entering the only institution in American society at that time that was totally integrated, in which I would have the opportunity to rise, based solely on performance and ability. The nation always looks to West Point and always looks to each and every one of you to follow always the angels of your nature.” - GENERAL COLIN POWELL “In every corner of America, the words ‘West Point’ command immediate respect. This place where the Hudson River bends is more than a fine institution of learning. The United States Military Academy is the guardian of values that have shaped the soldiers who have shaped the world.” - PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH

WHY WEST POINT? “Any of us who went through the process; anyone who felt the flame of that furnace, came away altered in the way we go about running our lives. Some part of it is the belief that you are not only doing it for personal glory, but you do it because it is your responsibility. It’s part of being a member of The Corps and each of us that have felt that magic feel especially privileged to have done so.” - HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER PETE DAWKINS MIKE KRZYZEWSKI

“As I look back over my career in government, in business, of course in the military, I think West Point was a very influential experience. It hardened a sense of discipline, a sense of responsibility, duty and integrity and also very happily combined an alertness of mind and body.” - FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE ALEXANDER HAIG “For here we train the men and women whose duty it is to defend the Republic, the men and women whose profession is watchfulness, whose skill is vigilance, whose calling is to guard the peace, but if need be, to fight and win.” - PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN

“In the evening of my memory, always I come back to West Point. Always there echoes and re-echoes ... Duty -- Honor -- Country. Today marks my final roll call with you. But I want you to know, when I cross the river, my last conscious thoughts will be of The Corps ... and The Corps ... and The Corps ...” - GENERAL DOUGLAS MacARTHUR

“As I look back on my life, I’ll always revere the opportunities that came along that brought about the choice I made to go to West Point. I just feel that it was fundamental in molding the fabric of my life. The experiences that I had at West Point, they were irreplaceable.” - ASTRONAUT EDWIN “BUZZ” ALDRIN

“This nation is grateful that four years ago every man and woman graduating today made a lifechanging decision. You left the comforts and familiar surroundings of civilian life, and devoted yourselves to one of the noblest professions in a free country--the profession of arms.” - FORMER VICE PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY

“West Point’s graduates have served America in many, many ways. Not only by leading troops into combat, but also by exploring frontiers, founding universities, laying out the railroads, building the Panama Canal, running corporations, serving in the Congress and The White House, and walking on the moon. Through our history, whenever duty called, the men and women of West Point have never failed us, and I speak for all Americans when I say, I know you never will.” - PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON PAGE 59 • 2010 NCAA GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIPS HOST

ATHLETICS DIRECTOR KEVIN ANDERSON Since Kevin Anderson was introduced as Army’s Director of Athletics on Dec. 13, 2004, West Point’s intercollegiate athletic program has enjoyed immense success both on and off the “fields of friendly strife.” Boasting more than two decades of leadership and experience, Anderson departed his post as executive associate athletic director at Oregon State University to accept the challenge of re-invigorating Army’s proud athletic program. The veteran administrator has played a large role in accomplishing that goal during his five years along the banks of the Hudson. In that time, Army has sent 19 intercollegiate athletic teams to the NCAAs, captured its first National Championship in KEVIN ANDERSON more than 50 years, witnessed the revital6TH YEAR ization of its hockey and men’s basketball programs, and experienced unparalleled SAN FRANCISCO STATE success in several others, such as baseball, women’s volleyball, women’s tennis and women’s basketball. A year ago, Army’s women’s soccer team became West Point’s ninth different intercollegiate program to advance to the NCAAs under Anderson’s watch, while the baseball team reached a regional final for the first time in school history. During the 2004-05 academic year, Anderson’s first at West Point, Army’s athletic program won a National Championship in rifle, sent a record seven teams to postseason appearances, defeated Navy in the year-long series for the first time since 1978 and forged an overall winning percentage of .582. It marked Army’s finest overall performance in more than a decade. Seventeen of Army’s 25 intercollegiate teams carved records of .500 or better that year as the Black Knights put forth their highest year-long winning percentage since a .604 effort in 1993-94. In addition, Army reclaimed the Patriot League’s Presidents’ Cup—signifying the league’s all-sports champion—for the first time since 1997. Army sent its rifle, gymnastics, baseball, lacrosse, men’s tennis, women’s tennis and golf squads to postseason play, surpassing the previous standard of six teams in NCAA action. Six of Army’s eight spring teams won Patriot League titles that year. Army’s success opposite Navy snapped a 27-year drought in the all-sports rivalry, giving the Black Knights their first series win over Navy since going 9-8-1 (.528) in 1977-78. The Black Knights used their 2004-05 success as a springboard to continued outstanding performances in 2005-06. Army’s fall and winter teams combined to forge back-to-back winning records for the first time since 1993-94. Additionally, four Army teams earned NCAA Tournament appearances in 200506, highlighted by the women’s basketball team, which earned the Academy’s first postseason berth at the Division I level. In 2006-07, Anderson presided over a resurgence of Army’s men’s basketball and hockey programs, as well as the continued success of the Black Knights’ women’s basketball squad, which set a single season school record for victories at the Division I level. All three programs flourished again the following year with hockey earning its first Atlantic Hockey Association regular-season crown and the men’s basketball squad advancing in the Patriot League postseason for the second straight year, a first since 1995 and 1996. Additionally, a young Black Knights’ baseball team captured its third regular season Patriot League championship in five years and Army’s women’s tennis team earned its fourth consecutive conference championship and accompanying NCAA berth. Three Army teams traveled to the NCAAs last season, headlined by the women’s soccer and baseball squads. The Black Knights’ baseball team gained national attention by reaching the finals of the Austin Regional and nearly upsetting national top seed and NCAA runnerup Texas in a championship game. Off the field, construction of the Foley Athletic Center, a spacious indoor practice facility for football, was completed in the winter of 2007. During Anderson’s time at West Point, Randall Hall, which houses offices, locker rooms and team rooms for men’s and women’s basketball, as well as luxury suites that overlook historic Michie Stadium, was also unveiled. Army’s fabled football home received additional state-of-the-art amenities last summer with the installation of a new FieldTurf playing surface and a sparkling 30-foot-by-50-foot scoreboard, complete with a 20-footby-50-foot high-definition video board.

In the last year alone, Anderson led the search that resulted in the hiring of Rich Ellerson as Army’s 36th head football coach. He was also instrumental in negotiating a broadcast extension with CBS Sports to televise the Army-Navy football game to 2018, a new national television deal for Army’s football program, separate contracts with three different cities to serve as host for future Army-Navy games, and a landmark agreement with the New York Yankees that will result in Army’s football team playing six games over the next years at Yankee Stadium. As part of the deal, Army will battle Notre Dame next fall in the first college football game to be played at the Yankees’ majestic new home. Prior to his busy 2008-09 academic year, Anderson brokered major broadcast agreements for Army’s football program with ESPN and WABC Radio (770-AM), as well as aligning the Black Knights’ athletics teams with Nike, as part of a significant apparel deal, and Learfield Sports Properties. The Army “A” Club has continued to flourish under Anderson’s leadership, establishing school records for annual giving during each of his four years at the Academy. During his time at Oregon State, Anderson directed the athletic department’s external operations, to include marketing and promotions, sports information, ticket operations and the Beaver Athletic Student Fund. He also oversaw Oregon State’s highly successful football, men’s basketball and baseball programs, leading the search and recruitment for head football coach Mike Riley. Anderson, who ranks as the first African-American to hold the position of director of athletics at West Point, was a member of an OSU management staff that balanced the athletic department’s budget for the first time in nearly 15 years. Anderson took residence in Corvallis, Ore., in December 2002 after serving as executive associate athletic director for external affairs at the University of California. He joined the California staff in November 1997 as assistant athletic director for annual programs and was promoted to associate athletic director for development, tickets and the Bears’ baseball team in March 1999. At California, Anderson oversaw all fundraising matters involving capital giving and capital projects, as well as ticketing operations. He also functioned as the primary major gift officer for the athletic department. Under his leadership, California raised more than $5 million annually, including a record number of funds in fiscal years 2001 and 2002. Anderson also headed efforts to raise money for a renovation of California’s Memorial Football Stadium. Before accepting his position with the Golden Bears, Anderson served as area executive director of the YMCA of the East Bay from 1995 to 1997. He was director of annual giving with Stanford University’s athletic department from 1993 to 1995. While at Stanford, Anderson worked with the Stanford University Provost, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Anderson served as director of development, marketing and communications of the San Francisco Education Fund (1990-93) and was Northern California development director for the United Negro Fund (1989-90). He was also a manager with the Xerox Corporation from 1980 through 1989. Anderson graduated from San Francisco State University in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in political science. He is also a 1981 graduate of the Xerox Corporation’s New Manager School and the Xerox Marketing School in 1986. He completed the executive management program at the Sports Management Institute in 1995. In addition to his duties at West Point, Anderson has served as chairman for the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Division I-A Athletic Directors McClendon Minority Scholarship Steering Committee and is a member of the NCAA’s Basketball Academic Enhancement Group. In September, he became chairman of the Division I Men’s Basketball Issues Committee. Most recently, Anderson was elected Third Vice President of NACDA in June. Kevin and his wife, Moira, have four children: daughters, Olivia and Michaela; and The Anderson Family: Kevin, Moira, sons, Kevin Jr. and Chauncey. Chauncey, Olivia and Michaela

SUPPORT SERVICES ATHLETIC TRAINING Stationed on the first floor of Kimsey Athletic Center, Army’s athletic training department moved into its new and spacious home in the spring of 2003. The athletic training room now covers 9,500 square feet, housing the finest equipment available for the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. Highlights of the facility include a 1,202-square-foot cardiovascular room containing more than 25 pieces of equipment; a state-of-the-art hydrotherapy area equipped with a 2,018-square-foot rehabilitation pool, Jacuzzi, two large pools, and four regular pools; 10 treatment tables; five modular taping tables; high-density storage; and a physician’s office with X-ray capability. The training room also features a vast array of the latest treatment and rehabilitation equipment. Thanks to the expansive new treatment area, Army’s athletic training staff can service countless Black Knight athletes simultaneously so they are able to realize their full potential on the “fields of friendly strife.”

CENTER FOR ENHANCED PERFORMANCE During the 1988-89 academic year, the United States Military Academy expanded the boundaries of college football training by creating the nation’s first full-time applied sport psychology facility, the Performance Enhancement Center. Col. Louis Csoka, Officer Representative for Army football and psychology professor, and head football coach Jim Young created a performance enhancement training program with the purpose of training and educating cadets in techniques that would foster their full development as leaders of character. This program consisted of instruction and practice in the areas of goal setting, self-confidence, attention control, stress and energy management and imagery. The success of this program with the 1989 Army football team prompted the Academy to expand it so that all USMA Corps Squad athletes could have access to this valuable training. By 1991, the program had expanded even further, so that every cadet at West Point now has the opportunity to develop expertise in the key mental skills which underlie high-level performance in all situations. Renamed the Center for Enhanced Performance in 1994, it now offers three programs designed to maximize West Point cadet performance, as well as export these critical mental skills to the United States Army at large.

STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT O’MEARA, MALEK, DAWKINS CLASS OF 1959 STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT CENTER

An integral component in Army’s intercollegiate athletic program is the strength and conditioning department. The most visible sign of Army’s commitment in this area is the O’Meara, Malek, Dawkins, Class of 1959 Strength Development Center in Kimsey Athletic Center, one of the finest facilities in the nation. The monstrous 20,000-square-foot center is located on the second floor of Kimsey Athletic Center and features 30 tons of plates and dumbbells; 15 pieces of cardiovascular equipment, including six high-speed treadmills; a state-of-the-art weight training area with 16 rack and platform training stations, as well as a separate dumbbell area; and top-of-the-line Hammer strength equipment. Under the direction of Scott Swanson, the O’Meara, Malek, Dawkins, Class of 1959 Strength Development Center rivals any training facility in the country. Kevin Schadt serves as the strength and conditioning coach for the hockey team.

IN THE COMMUNITY The men’s gymnastics team falls in line with the rest of West Point’s varsity teams when it comes to visibility in the community. The Black Knights take great pride in reaching out to youth as well as serving as role models. A trip to Texas in 2008 for the All-Academy Championships also resulted in a visit to Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston by the Cadets and coaching staff, where they performed for the young patients along with bearing gifts. The team’s latest outing has been at Black Knights Alley, a family fun zone prior to Army home football games. The gymnasts entertained the crowd by walking on their hands and spinning on a mat to get their attention, then drew raves with their vaults.

IN THE COMMUNITY The Black Knights flew over volunteers from Army Athletic Director Kevin Anderson, to a group of Boy Scouts, a women’s basketball player, a group of Cadets wearing Stetsons, along with the Army mule.
