West Point
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.

West Point
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 firstand 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 ity of others, begins on the first day. Integrity is reflected in the Cadet Honor Code which states: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, teal, or tolerate olerate those who do.” Respect denotes tes that cadets treat others with the same respect pect and dignity they themselves would expect. Westt Point, it is t. At Wes not enough to train leaders—they ders—the ey must be leaders of character.

Director of Athletics Boo Corrigan
BOO CORRIGAN • DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS • NOTRE DAME ’90 Superintendent Lt. Gen. David H. Huntoon Jr., announced the hiring of Boo Corrigan as the Academy’s director of athletics on Feb. 1, 2011. “We have an opportunity to work every day with a truly exceptional group of young people,” Corrigan said. “The opportunities they receive through intercollegiate athletics will help shape their own leadership styles as they become officers in the U.S. Army. We have a great team that focuses daily on our cadet-athletes. We strive to enhance their overall experience as they develop into the leaders our nation needs.” In his short time as athletic director, Corrigan has strengthened and expanded Army Athletics’ relationships in several key areas. In recent months, Army has secured a new apparel agreement with Nike, a new pouring rights contract with Coke and bringing in the Aspire Group to enhance ticket sales and better serve Army season ticket holders. Corrigan also crafted the Team Army concept, a comprehensive plan designed to add significant value to Army’s corporate sponsorships while maintaining the tradition of West Point Athletics. Corrigan, who has a proven record as a fundraiser, spearheaded changes in the Army A Club and ticket operations that have resulted in more than $20 million dollars in major gifts and record-setting annual giving during his tenure. During that time the funding for a new lacrosse facility, that is scheduled to break ground, was secured. In addition to his role in enhancing revenues for Army Athletics, Corrigan led a strategic planning process that developed a new mission statement and goals for the department. In his first full year at West Point, Corrigan oversaw a program that won three Patriot League championship (baseball, women’s soccer, women’s tennis) and sent four teams to the NCAA postseason (rifle). Eighteen cadets earned a major award from their conference, including six Rookies of the Year selections and three Player of the Year winners. Cadet-athletes have continued to thrive in the classroom under Corrigan’s watch. In 2011-12, Army had five Academic All-Americans, including four first-team selections. The Black Knights’ football team boasted two firstteam CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in 2011, a first for the program since 1957. The Black Knights also boasted three Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year, including overall men’s winner Brendan Buckley. In addition, former football standout Andrew Rodriguez became the first Army player to win the National Football Foundation’s Willam V. Campbell Trophy, which is presented annually to the nation’s top football scholar-athlete. Rodriguez later was honored with the Amateur Athletic Union’s James E. Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete in the country. He was the first Army player to receive the award since 1946 and was just the third player in history (Peyton Manning, Tim Tebow) to win both the Campbell Trophy and Sullivan Award. Army has been the focus of national attention since Corrigan’s arrival. He was instrumental in supporting the CBS documentary, “Game of Honor,” that chronicled the Black Knights’ 2011 football season leading up to its
-10-
annual showdown with arch-rival Navy. Not only was the two-hour program broadcast to a national audience on Showtime, but also won the Emmy Award for Best Sports Documentary. The Army football team was also the focus of a behind-the-scenes book titled, “Soldiers First,” written by New York Times writer Joe Drape. Corrigan has also made his mark on the aesthetics of historic Michie Stadium. In order to upgrade the appearance and provide a better experience for Army fans, Corrigan implemented a Michie Stadium branding and signage campaign that began in 2011. The first phase of the project was completed prior to the 2012 season. In addition to his duties at West Point, Corrigan has been an active leader in the Patriot League, serving as chairman of the conference’s Broadband Committee. Corrigan, who was the senior associate athletic director for external affairs at Duke University starting in August 2008, brings a wealth of leadership to his post. He is a proven administrator with 18 previous years of experience in all areas of revenue generation, external affairs, staff management and leadership.

Head Coach Troy Engle
TROY ENGLE • HEAD COACH • FIFTH SEASON • AMHERST ’83 Troy Engle brings a wealth of international and collegiate coaching experience to West Point as he enters his fifth season as the head coach of the Army men’s and women’s cross country and track and field teams. This is his third stint at the U.S. Military Academy after previously serving as an instructor of physical education and assistant coach for the men’s and women’s track and field teams from 1995-96 and again in 1998. In his first season at the helm, Engle guided men’s teams to a sweep of the cross country, indoor, and outdoor Patriot League Championships, and was named the League’s men’s Coach of the Year in both the Indoor and Outdoor track campaigns. In 2009-10, Engle led the women’s cross country team to its first Star Meet win since 2005, as well as another indooroutdoor season sweep of the Midshipmen by the Black Knight men’s track squad. The 2010 track season was also highlighted by Army’s 14th men’s indoor Patriot League title and an NCAA Outdoor Championship trip by Domonick Sylve. Sylve qualified for the national semifinals in the 110-meter hurdles after winning his heat in the national quarterfinal. Success continued in 2010-11 as women’s cross country defeated Navy for its first back-to-back Star Meet wins since 2004-05. Men’s track and field swept both the indoor and outdoor Star Meets for their sixth-straight victories against the Midshipmen. Sylve capped off his record-breaking career by earning AllAmerica honors after advancing to the national semifinals once again. Sylve placed 11th overall at the 2011 NCAA Championships to earn second-team recognition, becoming the 34th All-American in Academy track and field history. In 2012, the women’s distance contingent shined for Engle as freshman Lisa Junta became Army’s first ECAC Champion on the track with her winning time in the 10,000-meter run, simultaneously qualifying for the NCAA Regionals.
The Black Knights spent most of the season attacking the Academy record book, as the cadets posted 47 marks that rank among the top 10 all-time, including two Army records. Junta accounted for seven top-10 times during her first season. The Black Knights have also been successful in the classroom under Engle as men’s cross country has been named to the USTFCCCA All-Academic team list in each of his four seasons and the women being recognized in each of the last three seasons. Senior Tom Wagner was named the Patriot League ScholarAthlete of the Year following the 2012 outdoor season, becoming the second Black Knight (Andrew Ferrara, 2009) under Engle’s watch to earn the distinction. In February 2011, Engle was once against selected by USA Track & Field as an assistant coach for endurance events for the Pan-American Games. The 2011 Pan-American Games took place in October in Guadalajara, Mexico. Engle coached the U.S. track and field team in the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing. During his tenure with the United States Olympic Committee, which began in 2006, Engle also served as the associate director of the Paralympic Division. Engle directed all aspects of the U.S. track and field team’s preparation for the Paralympic Games and served as the head coach at all major international competitions leading up to the Paralympics, including the Pan American and World Cup games. Engle orchestrated a growth in the program that resulted in an increase in the U.S. team’s medal count and a jump in the track and field standings to second behind China. Prior to joining the USOC, Engle was the head coach of the men’s and women’s track and field and cross country teams, assistant athletic director, and athletic department business manager at Division III Occidental College in Los Angeles, Calif. He turned the women’s cross country team, which was initially unable to field a full program, into a Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title winner by his fourth year. In his seventh and final year at the school, Engle led the team to its first NCAA appearance in 12 years. Engle garnered three West Regional NCAA Division III Coach of the Year honors at

Coaches/Support Staff
SHANNON O’BRIEN • ASSISTANT COACH • FIRST SEASON • KEENE STATE ’05 Shannon O’Brien will begin her first season with the Black Knight cross country program in 2012. O’Brien, who will also help guide Army’s distance contingent during track season, comes to West Point from Florida State, where she served two years as meet director and graduate manager for the women’s track and field and cross country programs. “I’m excited to welcome Shannon into our program,” said Army head coach Troy Engle. “When looking at candidates, she stood out as having the right kind of experience while also having a true passion for the profession of coaching. She is full of energy and enthusiasm and has worked with one of the top distance programs in the country at Florida State.” At FSU, O’Brien was responsible for designing a training regiment for walk-on athletes as well as conducting daily practices for that contingent. With her guidance, four student-athletes were offered scholarships to run for the perennial national power. “The rich history of the Academy along with the program that Coach Engle has worked so hard to develop made the decision to come to West Point an easy one,” said O’Brien. “I’m excited to get started. I’m completely on board with the direction in which this
program is going and the goals we’re striving toward.” Working alongside FSU head coach Karen Harvey, the women’s cross country team placed second at the NCAAs in 2010 and fourth in 2011, while the track team’s distance unit enjoyed similar success on the regional and national stages. Prior to her two-year stint with the Seminoles, O’Brien was an assistant coach/coaching intern at Dartmouth College with the Big Green’s track and cross country teams. O’Brien got her first taste of recruiting while in Hanover, N.H., as she worked on arranging official visits and contacting potential student-athletes. O’Brien also spent her undergraduate years in New Hampshire, receiving a bachelor’s degree in English from Keene State College in 2005. The middle-distance specialist was an All-American for the Owls in the 800 meters, and still maintains her hold on school records in the 500 meters, 400-meter hurdles and 4x400-meter relay. Following graduation, she worked at her alma mater as an assistant coach through the summer of 2006. O’Brien, who received her master’s degree in sport management from Florida State earlier this year, has a USATF Level 1 Certification and has worked for running camps across the country, including Vermont and Oregon.

2012 Season Preview
Army’s 2012 seven-meet cross country schedule will get under way on Aug. 31 when the Black Knights host the Army Open at the West Point Golf Course. Slated to run against the new-look Black Knights are SUNY Maritime, Merchant Marine, Monroe, Ramapo and the College of New Rochelle (women).
to cross the line at the 2011 league championship meet after being the conference’s top rookie her freshman season. O’Donnell’s track season in 2012 also showed promise, etching her name into the Army record books for some of the best finishes all-time in the 3,000- and 5,000-meter runs.
For Army, the perspectives for the women and men vary greatly. Both teams graduated a plethora of significant contributors from a year ago, but the responses to those losses have been different.
Army also welcomes back a pair of familiar faces in senior Jill Busby and junior Kelly Kingma. Busby, who spent the 2011 season away from the program, made waves beginning in her first season in uniform in 2009, posting Army’s top time in five meets, including a runnerup finish against rival Navy. Kingma, who was initially listed on the Black Knights’ roster her freshman season, spent the past two years competing with the Liz O’Donnell West Point triathlon team.
On the women’s side, the Black Knights lost a pair of 2011 All-Patriot League performers in Chelsea Prahl and Marcie Nordt. To their benefit, however, this past spring was highlighted outstanding performances by the young members of the women’s distance contingent on the track, providing an aura of optimism as the cross country season approaches. Rising sophomore Lisa Junta became Army’s first individual ECAC track champion, capturing the 10,000-meter title at Princeton while also earning a bid to the NCAA Regionals. Junta, who finished her Patriot League season tabbed the Rookie of the Meet at the outdoor championship, will lead from the front along with senior captain Mary Prakel. “Mary has set a great tone for the team,” said fifth-year head coach Troy Engle. “She’s proven herself to be an outstanding second lieutenant candidate and will be a phenomenal leader who will guide the team to good things, especially late in the season.”
Engle has also brought in an impressive group of newcomers to reinforce the experienced group of returners. Despite dealing with some injuries out of this summer’s Cadet Basic Training, Engle remains high on his class of 2016, especially Lindsay Gabow, who is expected to make an immediate impact.
“The key to our women’s success this fall is keeping everyone healthy,” remarked Engle. “We’ve got the manpower, we’ve got the horses and we absolutely Also fortifying the have the depth to have an exciting season, particularly lineup this year postseason, we’ve just got to stay healthy. will be junior Liz O’Donnell, who was “Our job for the women is to say ‘whoa’ and rein them in, the third Black Knight rather than ‘giddy up.’ On the men’s side, it’s the other

way around.” Just days away from opening their season, the Army men have yet to impress Engle and first-year assistant coach Shannon O’Brien. “Our guys came into camp behind where we had hoped they would be,” stated Engle. “We’re not in the kind of shape we need to be in to run competitively at this point of the year. We’ve got to put in a lot of work now to get where we need to be to run against Navy and the rest of the Patriot League.” Army’s roster features four of its top-six finishers from last season’s conference meet, including second team all-league performer Dan Jester and the Black Knights’ No. 2 finisher Ricardo Galindo. But significant losses to graduation in constant contributors and vocal leaders Barrett LeHardy, Dan Nix and Mike Mitchell have made Engle apprehensive about the fall campaign. “We have some guys who have the potential, I’m just waiting to see which of them show it early in the season,” said Engle. “We have a long way to go to where we want to be, but on a positive note, we have the talent. Ricky Galindo has the innate ability to be one of the top distance runners in the conference. Mark Castelli returning from surgery last season as well as three sophomores in Nathan Fisher, Andreas Kellas and Trevor Lafontaine who have the potential to have good, solid seasons, are also reasons for us to be excited. But we’ve got to have some of the upperclassmen step up. They have to stand up and want to take charge of this team from a competitive standpoint. That’s going to be our biggest test.” Senior Kevin Russell, who was a consistent contributor during the 2011 cross Ricardo Galindo
country season, will serve as the men’s team captain this season. “Kevin will be a great captain,” said Engle. “He’s a miler who is making up a lot of lost time as a cross country runner, working on that 8K course.” Similar to the women, a strong group of incoming freshmen will compete for some of the top spots on the roster. Army Prep School product Ludo Funfrock and former New Mexico State runner Eric Fenton have the ability to make their way into the lineup, as well as Hunter Firebaugh, Tom Giradot, Alex Duffy and Mitch Dutton, among others. Kevin Russell Friday’s meet marks the first of two consecutive home competitions for the Black Knights. The Army Open will help Engle gauge the progress the teams have made through preseason in a more competitive environment than daily practices, but the first true test will be the trimeet the following week. Army will welcome regional contenders Cornell and Binghamton at the West Point Golf Course on Sept. 7, for the final home contest of the season. The Black Knights’ schedule will follow a similar mold of years past with the Iona Meet of Champions at Van Cortlandt Park on Sept. 15, and the Paul Short Run at Lehigh on Sept. 28. Both races lead up to the Star Meet against rival Navy, which is scheduled for Oct. 13 in Annapolis, Md. Following the showdown with the Midshipmen, the postseason commences with the Patriot League Championships hosted by Colgate on Oct. 27, and concluding with the NCAA Regional Championships on Nov. 10 in Madison, Conn.

The Patriot League, which was founded on the principles of admitting athletes who are academically representative of their class, is in its third decade of academic and athletic achievement. Participation in athletics at Patriot League institutions is viewed as an important component of a well-rounded education. The Patriot League began as a successful Division I-AA (now called Football Championship Subdivision) football conference in 1986. Full League members include American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh and Navy. Associate members include Fordham and Georgetown in football and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in women’s rowing. These member institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation. Alumni from Patriot League colleges and universities have played a leadership role in the shaping of our country. In the classroom, the Patriot League’s full-member institutions, individually and collectively, consistently rank among the top Division I programs in the NCAA Graduation Rates Report. Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked first among all Division I conferences in student-athlete graduation rates according to the NCAA Graduation Rates report. The League finished at the top spot with 96 percent of its teams reporting a graduation rate of 85 percent or higher in the most recent data. In addition, 90 Patriot League teams earned NCAA Academic Performance Program Public Recognition Awards after posting academic progress rate scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. League members have also distinguished themselves on the field of play. The Patriot League sponsors championship competition in 23 sports (11 for men; 12 for women). Championship teams from 14 sports are guaranteed advancement into NCAA postseason competition: baseball, men and women’s basketball, field hockey, football, men’s golf, men and women’s lacrosse, men and women’s soccer, softball, men and women’s tennis and volleyball. Along the timeline of Patriot League history about three-quarters of the Patriot League’s Scholar-Athletes of the Year also received All-Patriot League status for their exemplary athletic performance. In the Patriot League’s history, more than 200 student-athletes have been recognized as CoSIDA Academic AllAmericans, while more than 12,000 have qualified for the League’s Academic Honor Roll. More than 30 studentathletes have received NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships. Additionally, Patriot League student-athletes have earned Fulbright Scholarships, Rhodes Scholarships, Marshall Scholarships and NACDA/Disney Scholarships.
