ABOUT THE AVADEMY

2 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.

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 selfdirected 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 selfdiscipline, 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.

ABOUT THE 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 offi cer in the U.S. Army; and a lifetime of selfl ess service to the Nation. Founded on March 16, 1802, the Academy celebrated its Bicentennial in 2002. But West Point’s role in America’s history dates to the Revolutionary War, when both sides realized the strategic importance of the commanding plateau on the west bank of the Hudson River. Gen. George Washington considered West Point to be the most strategic position in America. He personally selected Thaddeus Kosciuszko, one of the heroes of Saratoga, to design the fortifi cations in 1778 after problems arose with French engineers originally placed in charge of the design. In 1779, General Washington transferred his headquarters to West Point. Continental soldiers built forts, batteries and defensive barriers. A 100-ton iron chain was extended across the Hudson to control river traffic. Today, several links from that chain are arranged at Trophy Point as a reminder of West Point’s original fortifi cations. In 1802 President Thomas Jefferson signed the legislation establishing the U.S. Military Academy to create an institution devoted to the arts and sciences of warfare. This effectively eliminated America’s wartime reliance on foreign engineers and artillerists. West Point became the nation’s 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

WHY WEST POINT?

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 six years along the banks of the Hudson. In that time, Army has sent 22 intercollegiate athletic teams to the NCAAs, captured its first National Championship in more than 50 years, witnessed the revitalization of its hockey, men’s basketball and lacrosse programs, and experienced unparalleled success in several others, such as baseball, softball, women’s volleyball, women’s tennis and women’s basketball. This past spring, Army’s lacrosse team became West Point’s 11th different intercollegiate program to advance to the NCAAs under Anderson’s watch, while the women’s volleyball team reached the NCAAs for the first time in school history last fall. 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. Additionally, four Army teams earned NCAA Tournament appearances in 2005-06, highlighted by the women’s basketball team, which earned its 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 during the 2008-09 academic year, 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. Women’s soccer, meanwhile, made its first trip to the NCAAs. 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 with the installation of a new FieldTurf playing surface and a sparkling 30-foot-by50-foot scoreboard, complete with a 20-foot-by-50-foot high-definition video board. In the last two years, Anderson led the searches that resulted in the hiring of Rich Ellerson as Army’s 36th head football coach, Zach Spiker as the Black Knights’ 30th men’s basketball mentor, Michelle DePolo as Army’s eighth softball coach and Russell Payne as Army’s 11th men’s soccer field boss. In Ellerson’s first season, Army fell one win shy of earning its first postseason bowl bid in 13 years last fall. Anderson was also instrumental in negotiating a broadcast extension with CBS Sports to televise the Army-Navy football game through 2018, a new national television deal with CBS College Sports Network 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 one game in each of the next six seasons at Yankee Stadium. As part of the deal, Army will battle Notre Dame this fall in the first college football game to be played at the Yankees’ majestic new home. Anderson has also secured postseason bowl tie-ins for Army’s football team for each of the next four years. Prior to his most recent hectic stretch, 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 six 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. 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. Anderson graduated from San Francisco State University in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in political science.

2010 SEASON OUTLOOK

The 2010 Army sprint football team is coming off its most successful season in a decade, finishing 2009 with a 6-1 mark. The six wins are the most since the 2000 season, while the 6-1 record marks the Black Knights’ first winning season since 2005, when they went 4-3. Army outscored its opponents 203-56, averaging 29 points per game while limiting the opposition to eight. The Black Knights dominated the running game, tallying 1,511 rushing yards compared to just 286 for their opponents. On the defensive side of the ball, Army recorded 27 sacks and snagged 15 interceptions, while opponents were limited to three and five, respectively. The opposition was held without a rushing touchdown all season while also limiting passing TDs to five. Despite the Black Knights’ overwhelming statistical superiority in 2009, the one glaring stat is their one loss in the season finale, falling to Navy in the College Sprint Football League title game 7-6. The Mids have won the CSFL title the past three seasons, but Army interim head coach Mike McElrath believes this to be the Black Knights’ banner year. OFFENSE The Black Knights bring in first-year offensive coordinator Mike Popovich to direct the Tony Franklin Spread for the relatively young offense which returns only four seniors. The predominantly passing system run from the shotgun will rely on sophomore quarterback Tim Meier. Meier started all seven games for the Black Knights in 2009, compiling a 128.5 efficiency rating and throwing for 826 yards and 10 touchdowns. His 442 rushing yards were second-most on Army, while his three rushing touchdowns listed third. Classmate Javier Sustaita will also take snaps for the Black & Gold. Sustaita appearanced in three games last season, completing 1-of-2 pass attempts and running for 24 yards on 10 carries. “With Meier and Sustaita competing at quarterback, we have a ton of depth at that position,” said McElrath. “Either one could be in the game and we wouldn’t miss a beat.” Meier and Sustaita will have plenty of experienced targets to throw to as Army returns five of its top six receivers from a year ago. Highlighting the class of returnees is junior Ben Johnson. Johnson had a team-leading 440 receiving yards off 15 catches to go along with a team-best eight touchdowns in 2009. “Wide receiver is probably the position at which we have the most depth. There are a number of guys with big-play potential and are major deep threats,” said McElrath. Sophomore Cody Nyp, junior Franklin Yu and senior James McCarthy have the potential to be big-play guys for McElrath as well. Tim Meier’s older brother Mike joins the Black Knights for the first time as a junior and will look to have an immediate impact on the running game.

Alongside sophomore Marquis Morris, the two will look to fill the gap left by the graduation of Ricky Lentz who led Army with 749 yards and eight rushing touchdowns last season. Morris finished 2009 with 221 yards and four TDs, ranking third and second, respectively. Senior guard Abram Wathen will anchor the offensive line. The co-captain will be joined by juniors Nate Markette and Weston Boose, as well as possibly one of the biggest surprises of preseason – freshman Joel Boose. Wathen’s job will be to maintain the composure of the offense when things don’t go their way. McElrath’s biggest concern for the young team is how they handle adversity when they face it – something you don’t get to see until game day. Wathen, along with co-captain Carlos Cook on defense, will aim to keep the Black Knights patient and follow with their team motto of “play the next play”. DEFENSE Cook leads an experienced defense which features nine senior starters. Cook and classmate Bryan Girouard formed a one-two defensive punch last year. Girouard tallied a team-best 58 tackles, while Cook finished second with 54. The duo also combined for five sacks in 2009. With Army football’s all-time leading tackler as the head coach, the standards for the secondary are high for the Black Knights. McElrath’s biggest concerns lie in the defensive backfield as experience is limited. Senior Jamal Olatunde is making the transition from football to sprint football, while classmate Joe Simon enters the season less than 100-percent healthy. Sophomore Mark Maley played in four games last season and will be making his first career start on Sept. 19 at RPI. SPECIAL TEAMS Special teams is arguably where Army needs to make the most improvement from last year is in. The Black Knights hit only 2-of-12 field goal attempts in 2009. Entering preseason, McElrath had four kickers on the roster. In order to cut that number down, kickers went through “kick-offs” after practice, starting at the extra-point mark and moving back five yards at a time. Sophomore Kevin Scruggs prevailed and got the starting nod. Freshman Mason Strain also showed off his strong leg in practice and will get some opportunities this season. The freshman impact will stretch into punt returners as well, as plebe Tom Jeffers will be the top return man in 2010. SCHEDULE The Black Knights open the 2010 season on the road at RPI on Sept. 19. Army will face RPI’s junior varsity squad which can pose a difficult challenge for the Black Knights, given the absence of the 172-pound weight limit. Army remains on the road for Game 2, when they travel to Mansfield on Sept. 25. The Black Knights’ homestand begins Oct. 8 against Cornell, followed by Princeton on Oct. 15 and new CSFL member Post on Oct. 22. Army will play its final two games on the road, starting with Penn on Oct. 29, before wrapping the season in Annapolis, Md., at Navy on Nov. 5.

Former Army football player Lt. Col. Mike McElrath has been named interim head coach of the Army sprint football team for the 2010 season.

Lt. Col. Mike McElrath

McElrath takes the reins from Lt. Col. Mark West, who stepped down to serve a one-year tour of duty in Iraq. In his second season as head coach, West guided the Black Knights to a 6-1 record after the team fell to 2-5 in his ﬁrst campaign. A four-year starting defensive back (1989-92) and team captain as a senior, McElrath ended his time with the Black Knights as the program’s all-time leading tackler with 436 total career hits, including an Army-best 282 solo stops. He is also tied for second all-time with 10 career interceptions, trailing only Heisman Trophy winner Glenn Davis (14). As a senior, McElrath made 157 tackles, a total that ranks third among Army’s single-season leaders. McElrath was a First Team All-East Region selection from 1990-92, and received All-America honors following the 1992 season.

In September of 2010, McElrath became a member of the seventh class to be inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame. Now in his third stint at the Academy, McElrath will also continue his role as Associate Athletic Director for Operations in addition to his coaching duties. In his current position he is responsible for planning and synchronizing athletic events, competitions, and activities for 25 NCAA teams with USMA staff and West Point supporting agencies, while planning and executing game-day operations and coordinating team travel. Before returning to West Point, McElrath served as a Battalion Operations Officer, Brigade Chief of Operations, and Division Plans Officer for the 4th Infantry Division at Fort Hood, Texas and Baghdad, Iraq from 2005-09. Throughout his four years, McElrath gained an increasing amount of responsibility within the Division, and was a member of a 10person team responsible for planning and synchronizing combat operations for over 30,000 soldiers. In his second stretch at West Point From 2002-04, McElrath was an assistant professor and Economics instructor in the Department of Social Sciences. As the department’s economic counselor, McElrath mentored and managed schedules for 200 Economics majors, while teaching courses in economics and money and banking to 60 students per semester. McElrath was a Company Commander at Fort Jackson, S.C. from 1998-2000, where he led, managed, and supervised a 240-person basic combat training company. Upon graduation, McElrath spent four years with the 4th Infantry Division, culminating in a one-year span as Battalion Maintenance Officer. In that role, McElrath managed a $600,000 budget and directed repairs and services for a fleet of vehicles valued at more than $35 million. An outstanding student, McElrath graduated in the top five percent of his class and was on the Dean’s list for eight consecutive semesters. For his performance in the classroom, he was the recipient of the National Football Foundation, NACDA, NCAA, and CFA scholar-athlete awards. McElrath (USMA ‘93) holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, and an M.B.A. from Duke University. He resides in New Windsor, N.Y. with his wife Jen, and their children Tom (12), Amber (10), and Tyler (8).

Although the two teams combined for 26 penalties totaling 249 yards, it was the Army defense that kept the Devils off the board for the duration, as the Black Knights’ stop unit recorded 11 tackles for loss, six sacks, and generated five turnovers, including four interceptions. For the game, Army held FDU to a scant 61 yards of total offense and limited the Devils’ ground game to minus-23 yards. The swarming Army defense secured the game’s only points of the first half to make the best of a special teams miscue. After the Devils blocked their second Army field goal attempt of the half and recovered the loose ball deep in their own territory, the Black Knights returned the favor by breaking through the FDU offensive line on back-to-back plays for a safety. Robby Mandel’s first down stop backed the Devils up to their own one-yard line, with Clayton Rife and Tyler Bambrick bringing down the FDU ball carrier in the end zone on second down to give Army the lead, 2-0. Led by freshman quarterback Tim Meier, Army’s offense erupted in the second half for 27 points while the defense held the door shut on FDU. Meier, who completed 5-of15 pass attempts for a meager 18 yards in the first half, dissected the FDU defense in the second half for 132 yards and a touchdown on 7-of-8 attempts to close the game. Senior captain Ricky Lentz added three rushing touchdowns, two of which came in the final stanza, and finished the game with 110 yards on 20 carries. Army, which failed to turn any of its seven first half possessions into points, registered touchdowns on five of its final seven drives to put the game out of reach. Coming out of the locker room, the Black Knights took an 8-0 lead on a 40-yard connection from Meier to Stephen Hagy before Lentz plunged into the end zone from four yards out to give Army a 15-0 cushion. Playing in FDU territory for much of the second half, Army turned an interception into a scoring drive, before Lentz’s final TD run of the day gave Army the final margin midway through the fourth. Carlos Cook led all tacklers with 10 hits and also forced and recovered a first-quarter fumble. Thomas Malejko and Matthew Talley were credited with two tackles for loss. Senior safety Taylor Griffin made two interceptions, while JP Cooper and Joe Simon each picked off a pass for the Black Knights.

WEST POINT, N.Y. - The Army sprint football team used a stifling defense in the first half and got its offense going over the final 30 minutes to cruise to a season-opening 29-0 shutout of visiting Fairleigh Dickinson University (Florham) junior varsity squad on Sunday at Shea Stadium.

TROY, N.Y. - Freshman quarterback Tim Meier rushed for 76 yards and a touchdown, and added two more scores through the air as the Army sprint football team notched a 24-14 win over Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s junior varsity team in Troy, N.Y. on Sunday. The Black Knights (2-0) remain unbeaten heading into CSFL play, and have allowed just two touchdowns in eight quarters of play.

Recording another strong defensive performance after a 29-0 whitewash last week, Army used a goalline stand to keep the Engineers’ out of the end zone early on in the first quarter. With a first and goal from the Army 10-yard line, the Black Knights gave little ground on four consecutive rushing plays, highlighted by a fourth-and-goal tackle for loss by Toby Acosta and Taylor Griffin. After an RPI three-and-out several series later, Army opened the scoring with a 58-yard aerial connection from Meier to Benjamin Johnson to give Army the lead, 7-0. Meier and Johnson would find each other again in the third quarter, as the duo scorched the Engineers’ secondary for a 40-yard bomb up the sideline that gave Army a 24-0 cushion. Over the final half of the fourth quarter, the Engineers attempted a comeback by mounting two scoring drives, including one with just under a minute remaining, but Army recovered the ensuing onside kick and ran down the clock to end the threat. Following a 25-yard field goal from senior Sam Herbert that gave Army a 10-0 lead going into the locker room, Meier scrambled 21 yards through the left side of the RPI defense to push the Black Knights’ lead to 17. The score capped a seven-play, 62-yard drive for the Black Knights, one of several sustained surges that lifted Army to victory.

PRINCETON, N.J. - The Army sprint football team raised its record to 3-0 (10 CSFL) on Friday night in a dominating win over host Princeton in its first Collegiate Sprint Football League contest. In total, the Black Knights gained 316 yards and scored six touchdowns on 56 rushing attempts in a 57-0 win over the Tigers (0-3, 0-1). “I thought we played extremely hard,” said secondyear head coach Mark West. “We looked good in all phases of the game: special teams, offense, and defense.” With three wins this season, West has already guided the team to more wins than each of the two previous seasons (2-5) and as many games as the 2006 team (3-3). Senior captain Ricky Lentz finished the game with 23 carries for 151 yards and two touchdowns, the first of which was a one-yard plunge to break open the scoring. After Army’s second safety of the season gave the Black Knights a 9-0 cushion, freshman quarterback Tim Meier got into the act with the first of his two TD passes to put the Black Knights up by 16 at the 9:12 mark of the first period. Meier threw all four of his completions to different receivers, and had a hand in each of Army’s next two tallies, scoring from one yard out on a run, and picking up his second aerial touchdown of the day on a 39-yard connection to Benjamin Johnson. Lentz capped a four play, 33-yard drive with a sixyard scamper at the 1:12 mark of the second quarter to give Army a 37-0 lead at the intermission. Meier scored on a 57-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter, and ended the contest with 75 yards and two TDs on just 13 carries, before freshman running back Marquis Morris added fourth quarter touchdowns on runs of 18 and 21 yards. Morris rushed for 69 yards on six carries. The Army defense shut down the Tigers from start to finish. The Black Knights held Princeton to just three total yards while making 14 tackles for loss, five sacks, and intercepting five passes.

WEST POINT, N.Y. - Clinging to a slim lead late in the fourth quarter, the Army defense came through with a key interception that halted a Penn drive deep in Army territory and helped to preserve a 35-26 win for the Black Knights. In a matchup of previously undefeated CSFL teams Army raised its record to 4-0 overall, 2-0 CSFL, while University of Pennsylvania fell to 3-1, 1-1 with the loss. Penn trailed by the two-score margin with 2:04 still to play, but the Quakers refused to give in, led by an outstanding performance from quarterback Todd Bussler. Bussler, who completed 27-of-42 passes for a whopping 429 yards and two touchdowns, steered Penn’s final drive down to the Army nine-yard line before throwing a costly interception to Robby Mandel at the one-yard line. The two teams combined for 934 yards of total offense and exchanged the lead five times. With Army leading 7-6 after the second of four field goals, including a 45-yarder, from Penn’s Raiaim Santos, both offenses got back on track over the final four minutes of the first half and continued to move the ball at will for the remainder of the contest. The Quakers took their first lead of the game at the 3:25 mark of the second stanza after a 76-yard TD connection from Bussler to Whit Shaw, who frustrated the Black Knights’ secondary for 274 yards on just nine receptions. Just 2:33 later, Army answered and regained the lead, 14-13, on Benjamin Johnson’s second touchdown of the evening from Tim Meier, capping a five-play, 62-yard drive. Not to be outdone, Penn drove 56 yards in just 36 seconds to take a 16-14 lead into the locker room after a 31-yard field goal split the uprights. Coming out of the break, it was the Army defense that came up big as JP Cooper and Thomas Malejko recorded a firstdown sack that the Penn offense couldn’t overcome. The Quakers’ subsequent punt pinned the Army offense at its own three-yard line with 9:45 remaining in the third. Needing a score to regain the momentum, Army’s offense marched 10 straight plays without a setback to find the end zone on a nine-yard run off right tackle from senior captain Ricky Lentz. The drive was also highlighted by a 47-yard catch-and-run from Johnson, who registered 108 receiving yards. Penn pulled to within two, 21-19, after another field goal from Santos, but saw the lead grow back to nine, 28-19, after Morris’ six-yard run with 7:55 remaining in the game. Penn surged back again, as Bussler found a wide-open Shaw for Penn’s final score of the game from 43-yards out to trim the lead to just two at 28-26. Army freshman running back Marquis Morris burst through the line for a 68-yard TD scamper up the sidelines just two plays later to set up the late-game heroics from Mandel. Linebacker Bryan Girouaud led the Army defense with 12 tackles (six solo), while Eric Shirley and Thomas Malejko added seven hits apiece. Malejko also registered three tackles for a loss of 14 yards, including two sacks.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. Sophomore receiver Benjamin Johnson amassed 186 total yards and scored four touchdowns en route to Ken Kunken Most Valuable Player honors in a 42-0 Army win over Mansfield in the 2009 Adirondack Trust Allegiance Bowl in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. on Saturday. With the win, Army lifted its record to 5-0 overall, 3-0 CSFL, while Mansfield, a first-year CSFL member, fell to 1-4, 1-4. Johnson caught scoring passes of 66, 44, and 19 yards and finished with 152 receiving yards on just four catches. He also scored on a 39-yard run on an end-around play in the third quarter. “We are very happy with the way Ben played,” said secondyear head coach Lt. Col. Mark West. “He’s a talented player and that’s certainly no secret to anyone in the league anymore.” After hauling in a pair of TD passes in the win over Penn last weekend, Johnson pulled down the first of his two first-half scores to put Army on the score board four minutes into the game. Freshman signal caller Tim Meier, who found Johnson just inside the endline for the 19-yard connection, threw for 216 yards on 8-of-15 passing. The Black Knights’ defense, led by 11 tackles and a sack from Carlos Cook, forced a three-and-out on the Mountaineers’ next possession and Army wasted little time in capitalizing, marching 70 yards on eight plays to push the lead to 14-0. Senior captain Ricky Lentz capped the drive with a 22-yard scamper up the right sideline. Lentz carried the ball 15 times for 133 yards in the first half alone, and finished the game with 180 yards on 23 attempts. Meier found Johnson again to give the Black Knights a 210 cushion at the half with a pass that just barely cleared the outstretched arms of a Mansfield defender. Johnson pulled the ball from the air and raced to the end zone to complete the 66yard catch-and-run. On the Mountaineers’ opening possession of the second half, Army linebacker Brian Girouaud knifed through the Mansfield offensive line and forced a fumble that was recovered by JP Cooper. Johnson lined up wide to the left side on Army’s firstdown play but ran back into the formation as the ball was snapped to take the handoff. The Mountaineers appeared to have the angles to prevent the touchdown, but Johnson outran one defender before breaking a pair of tackles to put Army in control, 28-0. Army forced another three-and-out after Mansfield’s Michael Wang recorded his second interception of the day, and went up 35-0 when Meier and Johnson hooked up again, this time from 44 yards out. Wang totaled five tackles, two interceptions, and a fumble recovery for the Mansfield defense in a losing effort.

CORNELL, N.Y. - Army junior linebacker Matthew Talley returned a fumble 85 yards for a touchdown with 1:40 left in the third quarter of a thrilling 10-9 Army win at Cornell in a CSFL matchup on Friday night. With the win, the Black Knights lifted their record to 6-0, 4-0 while the Big Red fell to 3-3, 3-2 on the season. In Army’s second meeting between unbeaten teams this season, the Black Knights will host arch-rival Navy (6-0, 4-0) next Friday at Shea Stadium for the outright CSFL Championship. After being gashed for a 30-yard run earlier in Cornell’s eightplay 48-yard drive to the Army 17-yard line, the Army defense dug in and came up with the game’s only touchdown when Talley stripped Cornell’s Elliot Corey of the ball and returned it 85 yards the other way to put Army ahead by the final margin. Holding a 9-3 lead, behind three field goals from Ale Perilstein, the Big Red’s threatening drive deep into Army territory could have been the nail in the coffin, but defense prevailed for both teams from start to finish. Each stop unit rallied to force several punts after Army took the lead, with the Black Knights picking off two passes in the fourth quarter to seal the win. Robby Mandel’s interception gave the Army offense the ball at Cornell’s 43-yard line, but the Big Red defense answered defensively with a sack and interception on back-to-back plays to get the ball back at its own 21-yard line with just 2:17 remaining. Although the Cornell offense managed just 146 total yards on the day, the Big Red put together their most sustained drive of the day with the game on the line. Cornell marched 36-yards on 11 plays to get into position for a desperation Hail Mary just across midfield, but Army senior defensive back Taylor Griffin grabbed his fourth pick of the season with seven seconds left to keep the Black Knights quest for a 31st unbeaten season alive. Army linebacker Brian Girouaud led all tacklers with 13 stops, including 1.5 tackles for loss and a sack. Carlos Cook registered 10 tackles, two of which were for a loss, while Emerson Follett made six solo hits. Cornell kicked the first of its three field goals on the day from 30 yards out to take the lead midway through the first quarter. After Army fumbled the subsequent kickoff, the Black Knights

Navy, which managed just 86 total yards for the game, and had just one drive of more than 20 yards, was aided by a 15-yard facemask after a 14yard run on its final drive. Following Nate Stewart’s run and the penalty, a net gain of 29 yards for the Mids, the Army defense held strong on three straight running plays to set up a 4th-and-8. Navy’s Tyler Terronez, who went 6-for-26 passing for 38 yards and two interceptions, found Eric Montgomery for 14 yards to get the first down, and connected with Brad Cash for a nine-yard touchdown just inside the right pylon two plays later. Dave Reifenberg’s extra point gave the Midshipmen the deciding point of the game. The Black Knights got the ball back at their own 38, but failed to connect on any downfield passes after the Midshipmen ran down a first-down screen play. Army QB Tim Meier, who completed just four of 12 passes with an interception, and WR James McCarthy nearly hooked up on a 4thand-14 that would have extended the drive, but the high pass just missed a fully-extended McCarthy, ending Army’s bid for an unbeaten season.

COLLEGIATE SPRINT FOOTBALL

One of the most unique conferences in all of collegiate athletics is the Collegiate Sprint Football League which, until the 1998 season, had been known as the Eastern Lightweight Football League. The Eastern Lightweight Football League was founded in 1934 as the Eastern 150pound Football League. The seven charter members were: Cornell, Lafayette, Pennsylvania, Princeton, Rutgers, Villanova and Yale. Lafayette and Yale left the league just prior to World War II and were replaced by Navy (1946) and Army (1957). Columbia was a participant from 1955 through 1976. Rutgers left the league prior to 1990, lowering ELFL membership to five teams. With athletic budgets under tight constraints across the country, lightweight football has proven to be a sport that requires much less financial support than other programs, yet it provides a competitive outlet for upwards of 100 athletes at each school. The league was originally founded as a means of encouraging football among lighter athletes. Today, it gives anyone interested in playing football an opportunity to do so at the collegiate level. No lightweight football player receives a scholarship. The game is a fast-paced, action filled affair that has grown in popularity and attracts crowds at each school.

Four days before a game, all players must weigh in at 172.0 pounds and weigh in again two days before the game at 172.0 pounds. If players do not meet both standards, they are ineligible for that week’s game. When the league was founded, the weight limit was set at 150 lbs. and later increased to 158 lbs. in 1967. In 1996, the limit was increased to 165, and elevated to 172 lbs. in 2005. The athletics directors of the ELFL voted to officially change the name to the Collegiate Sprint Football League in the summer of 1998.This change coincided with a renewed effort by the league to seek expansion opportunities. Consistent with this goal, the athletics directors also approved “open” competition, which would allow colleges to add sprint football on the varsity or non varsity level and compete in the league. The League expanded to six full-time members beginning in 2008 with the addition of Mansfield University (Pa.), and seven in 2010 with Post University.
