2013 GYMNASTICS ABOUT USMA

2013 GYMNASTICS ABOUT USMA 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 e t h i c a l 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 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.

2013 GYMNASTICS ATHLETIC DIRECTOR - BOO CORRIGAN 3RD YEAR | NOTRE DAME, 1990 United States Military Academy 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 f 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 first-team CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in 2011, a first for the program since 1957. The Black Knights also boasted three Patriot League ScholarAthletes 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 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. Corrigan’s chief responsibilities at Duke included the oversight of the Blue Devil corporate partnerships and the Marketing, Promotions, Ticket, Internet Operations, Sports Information and Video Services departments. In only two years at Duke, Corrigan was responsible for the negotiation of multi-media rights to ISP. A supervisor of the 2009 NCAA Champion women’s tennis and 2010 NCAA Champion men’s lacrosse programs, Corrigan was a part of three NCAA Championships at Duke in just two seasons. He is currently a member of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Rules committee and the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Lacrosse Committee, while serving on the Executive Budget Committee at Duke. Prior to arriving at Duke in August of 2008, he oversaw Notre Dame’s corporate relations and marketing as an associate athletic director for five years. During his stint at Notre Dame, Corrigan spearheaded the redesign of its official athletics website and creation of 15-20 hours of original video content weekly. That resulted in a 35 percent increase in page views and unique users. Corrigan also worked directly with ISP Sports, CSTV, and NBC Sports from a sales and marketing standpoint. Before joining the staff at Notre Dame, Corrigan spent nearly three years as the associate athletic director for marketing at the United States Naval Academy. He was responsible for turning the marketing department from a deficit to profit in his first year with full budget responsibility for the department. Corrigan also was intimately involved with the re-branding of the Annual Giving Campaign (The Blue and Gold), which led to an increase of 75 percent year over year donations. His collegiate experience also includes a stint as assistant director of marketing at Florida State from 1992-95. Corrigan is a 1990 University of Notre Dame graduate with a degree in economics. He is married to the former Kristen Aceto, a former field hockey and lacrosse player at the University of Virginia who also earned a master’s degree from the school. The couple has three children, Finley (11), Tre (9) and Brian (8). He is the youngest of seven children of Gene and Lena Corrigan.

ARMY GYMNASTICS FACILITIES
Christl Arena 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 in 2005 and was the site once again in 2010. 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 21 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. • 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.
2013 GYMNASTICS 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 third decade, the level of success the 23-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 compiled 51 wins over a fiveyear span, 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 in 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 AllAcademy 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 listed 10th in 2005. Since taking over the program in 1990, Van Everen has compiled over 125 wins at West Point. His teams have been well represented individually at the NCAA Championships, while qualifying as a team in 2004, 2005 and 2007. The Black Knights qualified individually in 2006 when injuries decimated their ranks, while a school-record 12 individuals met the standard in 2003 with nine meeting the criteria last year. 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
14Page 14
11-1 record and the ECAC Championship. For that achievement, he copped ECAC “Coach of the Year” accolades for the second time. His gymnasts defeated defending ECAC champion and NCAA qualifier Temple during a 12meet win streak in 2003 for their best start since 1979 en route to a 13-1 mark. That momentum carried into the postseason with a pair of runnerup finishes at the ECAC and USAGC Championships, while closing with an NCAA All-America certificate, five USAGC All-Americans and one USAGC national champion. An excellent recruiter, Van Everen has coached several of the finest gymnasts in Army history. Under his guidance, Imad 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 and 12 Eastern champions who won 17 titles. 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 tie for fourth place at the NCAAs in 1997. Greenhill and Lee 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, Eckerman, Robella, Lee, Mike
WWW.GOARMYSPORTS.COM WWW.GOARMYSPORTS.COM
Oliveira (2005),George Rhynedance (2006), Eliot Proctor (2007), with Garek Hojan-Clark (2011) the latest addition. 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, a four-time NCAA qualifier, listed among the national leaders on vault his junior and senior campaigns. 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, with Robella winning 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 and Hojan-Clark are two of four sophomores under Van Everen to win a title when they copped medalist honors on parallel bars and pommel horse at the 2005 and 2011 meets, respectively. 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 All-America honors. Robella was also named a USA Gymnastics scholar-athlete. Three more picked up All-America honors at the 2011 meet in Hojan-Clark (pommel horse), Jared Breeden (still rings) and Chase Brown (floor exercise), along with a pair of scholar-athlete certficates awarded to Brown and Jonathan Hoey. 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. Army broke 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

2013 GYMNASTICS SEASON OUTLOOK After suffering through several disappointing seasons, expectations are running high for the Army gymnastics team as the Black Knights boast a wealth of experience, talent and depth heading into 2013. Head coach Doug Van Everen, who brought in a talented recruiting class capable of contributing immediately, is well balanced in all four classes throughout his lineup. “Not only are we going to win in 2013, but we are going to shine in every event, and will definitely turn heads this season,” said Van Everen as he heads into his 23rd season at the helm. “Our scoring potential is higher than it has been in several years because we are stronger and deeper in a majority of the events. Not only have several of our veterans increased their degree of difficulty, but we brought in one of the finest freshmen in the history of the program in Junior Olympic National member Jesse Glenn, an all-arounder, and Junior Olympic qualifier Chris Short. ” Army returns 13 letterwinners, including seven NCAA Qualifiers led by senior Garrek Hojan-Clark, who has ranked among the nation’s leaders on pommel horse since meeting the standard in his signature event the past three years. Also highlighting the returnees are team captain Ikaika Jakub and classmate Jared Breeden, who qualified the past two years for the NCAAs, while also meeting the standard last year were senior Nicholas Fettinger with sophomores Alex Ganz, Jeremy Cahill and Mike Tserkovnyuk. A total of nine Black Knights (to include two who graduated) qualified individually for last year’s NCAAs as Army sent its largest contingent since 12 met the criteria in 2003. The return of two-time NCAA Qualifier Kip Webber from medical leave is an added bonus as well. Webber met the NCAA standard as an all-arounder in 2011 and advanced to the preliminary round on vault and floor exercise. There is a change in the team scoring system this year, one that Van Everen feels will benefit Army. At the start of the season, six gymnasts will compete in an event with five scores counting where before four counted. Then on March 1, it will change again with five competing and all five scores counting. “The new system puts a lot of pressure on everyone,” notes Van Everen, but it will help us. “West Point places demands on a cadet that puts them in a position to accomplish the task at hand. There are no gimmies or mulligan’s, so it will change the dynamics once we head into March, which is also is the month for conference championships. “ FLOOR EXERCISE The top five gymnasts on floor exercise are solid in senior veterans Jared Breeden and Ikaika Jakub, junior Kip Webber, sophomore Jeremy Cahill and freshman Jesse Glenn. Webber competed on floor exercise at the NCAAs in 2010 and 2011, reaching the prelims in the latter. Breeden turned in Army’s top score of 14.7 last year with Cahill’s 14.4 and Jakub’s 14.2 among the top marks posted by the returnees. Webber, whose top mark in that event in 2011 was a school-record 15.05, topped the field with a 14.4 in this year’s annual Black vs. Gold meet. Glenn, an all-arounder, is one of the top recruits in the country and a USA Junior National team member. The final spot will be split between three to four different gymnasts from meet to meet due to the team depth in this event. Vying for that spot are junior Ian Howard, sophomore Alex Ganz, along with freshmen Chris Short and Michael York. Howard recorded scores last year in the 14-point range compiling a season-high 14.3 with Ganz, who competed as an all-arounder, turning in a season-best 13.8. Adding depth working hard in the gymnasium are sophomore Scott Warner and freshmen Joe Frullaney and Luis Moreno.
NCAA Qualifier ranked eighth nationally with a 14.75 average that listed second among the six qualifiers. He was among just a handful of gymnasts last year to crack the 15-point range. Army has four solid competitors in this event with sophomore Mike Tserkovnyuk (who qualified last year for the NCAAs), and freshmen Jesse Glenn and Connor Venrick complementing Hojan-Clark. Senior Greg Fearnley, junior Andrew Avelino, sophomores Alex Ganz and freshman Chris Short will be vying for the final two spots. “Garrek, Jesse and Mike are equal on pommel horse and each is capable of winning on any given day,” offered head coach Doug Van Everen. “Garrek has more start value bonus and has a lot of difficulty in his routine, while Jesse and Mike have solid sets. Adding depth are freshmen Michael York and Aaron Yoshizuka. STILL RINGS This event is exceptionally strong with a solid trio in junior Kip Webber, freshmen Jesse Glenn and Connor Ezell, supported by seniors Ikaika Jakub and Jared Breeden, sophomore Alex Ganz and newcomer Chris Short. “We are in excellent shape on rings, and have to go and do it,” stated coach Doug Van Everen. “This is the best rings team we have been able to put together in some time.” Webber spent last year on medical leave, and his career-high 15.0 that he recorded in 2011 was equaled last year by Breeden. In spite not competing in over a year, Webber picked up where he left at the annual Black & Gold meet with a winning score of 14.8. Breeden, Jakub and Ganz turned in last year’s top three scores on rings with personal-bests 15.0, 14.6 and 14.5, respectively. Breeden and Jakub (allarounder in 2010) competed the last two years at the NCAAs on still rings. Providing depth are senior Nicholas Fettinger, junior Nick Miles (sidelined last year due to an injury), sophomore Connor Venrick, along with freshmen Connor Ezell, Joe Frullaney and Matt Malcom. VAULT Army will be strong and deep and be able to field six exceptional athletes. Leading that group is school record-holder (16.1) Kip Webber, coming back from medical leave. He joins lettermen Jeremy Cahill, Nicholas Fettinger, Jared Breeden, Ikaika Jakub and Alex Ganz, along with freshman Jesse Glenn. Jakub recorded Army’s top mark of 14.4 last year. Webber, Jakub and Glenn boosted their skill level during the preseason which

2013 GYMNASTICS SEASON OUTLOOK could result in the addition of 4/10s difficulty per vault and turn them into the strongest trios in the conference (ECAC). Also looking to contribute are junior Ian Howard and freshmen Connor Ezell, Joe Frullaney, Luis Moreno, Michael York and Aaron Yoshizuka. PARALLEL BARS This event takes on a significant upgrade with the addition of freshman Jesse Glenn, who is capable of putting up top scores, along with classmate Chris Short. They will be joined by 2012 NCAA individual qualifiers Nicholas Fettinger and Alex Ganz, along with Ikaika Jakub who participated in this event as an allarounder in 2011. Fettinger, who copped third-place honors at the West Point Open behind a team and career-high 14.5, shined on p-bars throughout last season. He posted three of Army’s top four marks and headed to the NCAAs ranked 34th nationally. Ganz turned in the second highest mark by a Black Knight with a 14.4, while Jakub posted a 14.2 in rounding out Army’s top five scores. The majority of the depth will be provided by the underclassmen starting with sophomore Mike Tserkovnyuk, along with newcomers Conner Ezell, Matt Malcom, Luis Moreno, Michael York and Aaron Yoshizuka. HIGH BAR Freshman Jesse Glenn will lead the way in an event considered weakest among the six team competitions, but it is stronger than it has been in several years. Letterman Jeremy Cahill, an NCAA Qualifier last year and the top returning scorer (13.8), will be among the regulars once again. Letterman Alex Ganz and freshman Chris Short bring an array of skills to the lineup, while the biggest surprise could be senior Garrek Hojan-Clark. Hojan-Clark, who has shined throughout his Army career on pommel horse, worked with assistant coach Carl Schrade during the off-season on a routine that puts him in the mix. Junior Andrew Avelino has been focusing on his dismount on both high bar and pommel horse. He is looking to crack the lineup on high bar and will be battling senior Gregory Fearnley, sophomore Mike Tserkovnyuk, along with freshmen Conner Ezell, Michael York and Aaron Yoshizuka for a spot. ALL-AROUND Alex Ganz was Army’s lone all-arounder last year and will be among a trio this year led by freshman Jesse Glenn and classmate Chris Short. Glenn captured the all-around title with an 82.7 at the annual Black & Gold meet after finishing among the top two in five of the six events. “Jesse is capable of making the top six in all the events,” stated head Army coach Doug Van Everen, “and I feel he is capable of winning all-around in several of our meets this season.” SCHEDULE Army will be competing in eight dual meets with four home matches at Gross Sports Center, highlighted by Navy and Stanford University, along with the annual West Point Open and the Eastern College Athletic Conference Championships. The Black Knights raise the curtain on their 2013 schedule once again taking on NCAA participant Penn State at University Park, Pa., on Jan. 12. It is the 10th straight year that Army makes its season debut against the Nittany Lions, who finished third at last year’s NCAA Championships and welcome back 16 lettermen, including seven All-Americans. “Half of Penn State’s team competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics,” remarked Van Everen. “I want our team to go in there and have a good hit percentage, and I feel that Jesse (Glenn) is capable of winning all-around.” Army heads to Colorado Springs to take on a tough Air Force team on January 19th before leaving the dual circuit to host the annual West Point Open on Feb. 1-2 in welcoming William & Mary, Springfield, Navy, Temple, Arizona State and Brockport to the two-day competition. Due to a scheduling conflict, defending champion Penn State will be unable to participate which opens the door for Army to be in the hunt for the title after finishing third the past two years. Temple took runner-up honors last year with Navy and Springfield placing fourth and fifth, respectively.
Next on the schedule is the Winter Cup Challenge (Feb. 7-9) that features the nation’s top gymnasts, and Van Everen is looking to take a few Black Knights to this USA Gymnastics-sponsored event. Army then heads to Atlanta, Ga., to participate in the annual All-Academy Championships on Feb. 16 where it takes on Air Force and Navy in battling for its first title since 2007. The Black Knights host Navy on Saturday, Feb. 23, in the first of four home duals over a three-week span. Army will be looking to snap a two-match losing streak to Navy and post its first home win over its counterpart since 2007. Army ushers in March with a pair of home meets at Gross Sports Center hosting William & Mary (March 2) followed by a double dual meet with Springfield and 2011 NCAA Champion Stanford (March 9). Stanford, who finished fifth at last year’s NCAA Championships, is making its second trip to West Point in four years. The Cardinal were part of the NCAA field that competed at the 2010 championships hosted by Army at Christl Arena. Michigan captured the title with Stanford finishing less than a point shy of repeating as national champions. The Cardinal has captured five NCAA titles. Army closes out its dual slate on the road visiting Springfield on March 17 followed by a visit to Philadelphia, Pa., on March 23 to take on defending ECAC champion Temple in its season finale. The postseason run begins March 29-30 at the College Nationals being hosted by William & Mary in Williamsburg, Va. Army finished fourth the last time it competed at this meet in 2011. The two-day ECAC Championships (April 5-6 hosted by Springfield) is the meet Van Everen is gearing his team for this season as the Army mentor is confident that the Black Knights are capable of capturing the title and automatic bid to the NCAA Championships. Last year Army sent its largest individual contingent of nine qualifiers to the NCAAs since 2003, and the bulk of that group returns along with one of the finest freshmen class under Van Everen. OVERVIEW Five seniors provide a strong presence in the gymnasium to a talented group of juniors, sophomores and freshmen as they look to look to leave their mark in Army’s history annals. The Black Knights will be tested early with the first two road meets of the season against NCAA participant Penn State followed by a trip to Air Force. Army looks to post its first winning season since 2007 and expects to ride that momentum into the postseason where the Black Knights are looking to capture the ECAC title along with earning the automatic bid to the NCAA Championships the first day, and crown a champion or two the final day. The NCAA Championships provide a tough challenge as the top of the 12 teams in the country receive a berth to the Qualifier. Van Everen, who had nine Black Knights qualify individually last year, feel this year’s team has the talent to challenge for All-America honors on pommel horse, rings, vault and all-around. It is a duable goal for a team talented in all four classes, highlighted by a freshman class that boasts one of the top recruits in the country, as Van Everen looks to lead the Black Knights back into the national spotlight.
Freshman all-arounder Jesse Glenn ranked among the top recruits in the country

Bushnell, serves as the main office for the ECAC. It is located n Centerville, Massachusetts 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 1970-1972. Robert M. “Scotty” Whitelaw (1972-1989) 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 (1989-1998), Phil Buttafuoco (1998-2006), and Steve Bamford (2006-2007) have also carried the title of commissioner through the last 21 years.

All-American Brian Lee & Coach Doug Van Everen
HISTORY & RECORDS
2013 GYMNASTICS HISTORY Army is looking to celebrate its 87th season of intercollegiate competition by capturing the ECAC title (first since 2005) and the automatic bid to the NCAA Men’s Division 1 Gymnastics Championships. The Black Knights enter 2013 with four talented classes that head coach Doug Van Everen feels will play a key role this season. Van Everen, who has tutored 12 EIGL-ECAC champions along with four All-Americans, is looking to add to that list this year. 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 second-place 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). A member of the Army Air Corps during World War II, Sears earned the Distinguished Flying Cross and two Air Medals. He was a prisoner of war, but escaped from his German captors. He later served in Korea (195354). Sears was a member of the inaugural Army Sports Hall of Fame class in 2004. When Lewis M. Jamison was elected captain of the 1949 team, he joined his father Glen C., a team Herbert Richardson (middle), a 1941 All-American in the rope climb, is captain in 1923, as the only joined by John O’Keefe (left) and Richard Maybee (right). father-son combination in Army history to serve in that period of time. capacity.

Crossley’s finest team was the 1978-79 squad that went 14-1, 1990-95 WITH VAN EVEREN while his 1975-76 and 1979-80 teams posted In 1993, Imad Haque became Army’s first identical 13-1 records. He also developed three Eastern champion since 1987 after tying for Eastern champions — Scott Shorr (1978) and first place on still rings to earn a trip to the Chris Adams (1982) on the vault and George NCAAs.

Haque broke his own school record with a 9.80 Rhynedance shared first-place honors at against Syracuse and tied it in a win over Navy.

2013 GYMNASTICS HISTORY 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 allaround. 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 on the horse and first since Olympian Gar O’Quinn in 1958. 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 challenge of lower scores and more difficult routines, but Army thrived as a record-high eight Black Knights qualified for the 2001 NCAA Championships along with posting an 8-3 dual mark. Army’s contingent was the second-largest 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 runnerup 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 Ath-

2013 GYMNASTICS HISTORY lete 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 listed as high as No. 9 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 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 All-America 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 named the “ECAC Rookie of the Year”. Runner-up honors at the ECAC Championships in 2004 earned No. 12 Army its first bid to the NCAA Championships since 1963. Lee was crowned the ECAC championship on still rings and headed to the NCAAs ranked No. 2 in the nation. He reached the individual finals for the second straight year and just missed earning All-America honors after finishing eighth. Lee closed out his collegiate career in 2005 with a second-place showing on still rings at the NCAA Championships held at Christl Arena. The 29th All-American in school history, he held the top score in the finals of the NCAA Championships until the last competitor. His success at the national event capped a stellar season for the Black Knights that included an Eastern title, an individual Eastern champion and an All-American, to go along with Van Everen’s regional and ECAC “Coach of the Year” plaudits, and assistant coach Carmine Giglio’s national “Assistant Coach of the Year”

ARMY 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.
The Black Knights flew over volunteers from a women’s basketball player to a group of Boy Scouts and Cadets wearing Stetsons, along with the Army mule. Army’s cadet-athletes have a uniqueness about them, which make them ideal role models for today’s youth, and the gymnastics team plans to continue that trend throughout the season
