ARMY TO HOST NCAAs IN 2017
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) announced that Army has been selected as the site for the 2017 NCAA Men’s Division I Gymnastics Championships. The three-day competition will be held at Christl Arena April 20-22. Chosen to host the NCAAs for the fourth time in school history, Army was among the 23 sites awarded for 82 of the 89 championships for the 2014-18 seasons, making it the largest collection of host site announcements in NCAA association history. “We are thrilled to be hosting the 2017 NCAA Men's Gymnastics Championships,” said Boo Corrigan, Army’s Director of Athletics. “West Point is a national treasure, and we believe Christl Arena will be the perfect place to showcase the student-athletes. We are grateful to the NCAA and the committee for choosing our institution to be the site for the national championship.” The original pool of bids included 1,984 submissions. The sites were selected by the respective sport committees, made up of coaches and administrators from NCAA member schools and conferences, and ultimately approved by the appropriate divisional championships cabinets or committees. Previously, selection announcements varied by sport. This new process gives the NCAA and host sites more time to plan each championship experience. In addition, it creates efficiencies across championships allowing for better coordination and planning by the NCAA and its hosts. “It is a tremendous honor for us to be chosen once again to host this prestigious event where we can showcase our facility and institution nationally,” said Army head coach Doug Van Everen, who worked with the Army Athletic Association and the NCAA committee to secure this event for the third time in his tenure. “We are excited for the opportunity that hosting the tournament provides our program in recruiting and fan support “ Army’s list of NCAA individual champions numbers six, the last in 1960 (Army Hall of Fame Jon Aaronsohn, flying rings), while Van Everen had two of his gymnasts earn runner-up honors in Brian Lee, still rings, in 2005 when Army hosted the NCAAs, along with Dustin Greenhill on parallel bars in 2003. At last year’s NCAA Championships, senior Garrek Hojan-Clark was among the top 10 gymnasts on pommel horse to advance to the individual finals. Army was the home site for the NCAA men’s gymnastics national championships in 1950 at Hayes Gymnasium before the event returned to West Point in 2005 and 2010 at Christl Arena. This year’s freshman class will be seniors when the Black Knights host the NCAAs in 2017 for the fourth time to rank among the leaders hosting the tournament. Nebraska has hosted it 10 times, Penn State eight, Chicago five with Army, Ohio State and Oklahoma tied at four.

2014 ARMY 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.

2014 ARMY GYMNASTICS ATHLETIC DIRECTOR - BOO CORRIGAN
Boo Corrigan was named 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 his tenure, 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 two years at West Point, Corrigan has overseen a program that owns eight Patriot League regular season or tournament championships and sent eight teams to the NCAA postseason (rifle). Thirty-three cadets have earned a major award from their conference,. In 2012-13 alone, Army accounted for more than 100 all-league citations. Hockey’s Cheyne Rocha and lacrosse’s Brendan Buckley ach captured the Senior CLASS Award in their respective sports, making Army the only school in the nation to have multiple winners in 201213.
The 2012-13 season was one of the most successful in recent memory on the fields of friendly strife. Army teams combined to post an overall record of 236-183-8. The program’s .562 winning percentage was the highest in eight years. The winter sports programs had their best season in five years as the women’s basketball team won the Patriot League regular season title, the men’s basketball team posted its first winning season in 28 years and the rifle squad advanced to the NCAA Championships for the 10th consecutive season. It was also a great year in the competition against fellow service academies. Army split the season series versus Navy, 16-16-1, marking the best winning percentage against the Mids (.500) since 2004-05. The Black Knights owned a 4-2-1 record against Air Force, improving the record to 20-18-2 (.525) versus service academy foes in 2012-13. Cadet-athletes have continued to thrive in the classroom under Corrigan’s watch. In his two full years, Army has boasted seven Academic All-Americans, including six first-team selections. Lacrosse’s Brendan Buckely became the first Army athlete to capture Academic AllAmerican of the Year honors in 2012. In 2011, the Black Knights’ football team boasted two first-team CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, a first for the program since 1957. Since the start of the 2011-12 season, Army boasts six Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year, including Buckley, a two-time overall men’s winner. Twenty of Army’s 24 NCAA programs scored above the national average in the 2013 NCAA APR report. The men’s cross country and wrestling teams earned public recognition for finishing in the top 10 percent of their respective sport. The cross country squad boasted a perfect score of 1,000. In addition, former football standout Andrew Rodriguez, Class of 2012, 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 scholarathlete. 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 behindthe-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

Glenn is the first Black Knight to capture the all-around title in the history of the meet, while Hojan-Clark is just the fourth Army gymnast crowned a champion on pommel horse. The West Point 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.

2014 ARMY 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 24-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 in 2012. Committed to excellence, Van Everen is one of the most respected coaches in his profession. He was awarded East Regional “Coach of the Year” honors on the eve of the 2005 NCAA Championships, hosted by the U.S. Military Academy. It was the third time in his tenure and second over a three-year span that he garnered that award. The honor came two weeks after guiding the Black Knights to an 11-1 record and 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, Brian Lee and most recently Garrek Hojan-Clark laid claim to national and regional honors. He has tutored four NCAA All-Americans and 13 Eastern champions who won 18 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, at the NCAAs for the highest showing in Van Everen’s tenure. Also claiming Eastern titles were Sivulka, Marshall, Pazcoguin, Eckerman, Robella, Lee, Mike Oliveira (2005),George Rhynedance (2006), Eliot

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. HojanClark, a four-time NCAA qualifier, ranked among the leaders on pommel horse as well throughout his four years. 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. Hojan-Clark, a finalist last year for the NissanyEmery award, advanced to the indiividual finals on pommel horse at the 2013 NCAAs. 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 with Army breaking the school vault record during a period when

the rules for scoring made it difficult to receive high marks. Van Everen guided the Black Knights to runner-up honors at the ECAC Championships three times over a six-year span. Army’s placing in 1999 was its highest in over a decade, and the Black Knights repeated in 2003 and 2004. Army gymnasts have also excelled as students. The Black Knights ranked among an elite group of 20 teams selected in 1998 for national academic honors by the College Gymnastics Association. Army placed 12th with a 3.07 team grade-point average, beating both Navy (15th) and Air Force (16th). Jeff Means, Hayward and John Doss were among 49 individuals honored as scholar-athlete All-Americans, who earned a 3.5 grade-point average or better, while Oliveira was named a College Gymnastics Association 2005 All-America scholar-athlete. In addition to turning out nationally-ranked gymnasts, the U.S. Military Academy has become a showcase as one of the premier venues for prominent gymnastics meets.

Glenn was spectacular in his first season compiling an impressive resume as a highly touted all-arounder. He was among Army’s leaders in several meets, to include competing at the Winter Cup Challenge. An injury late in the season denied him from earning postseason honors at the ECAC Championships and NCAAs. “Having Jesse back in the lineup in six events will be a game changer for us,” noted Van Everen. “He is one of our top performers in floor exercise vault, high bar and parallel bars. Right up there with him is Kip, who will concentrate on floor exercise, still rings, vault and parallel bars.” Complementing the returnees is another exceptional freshman class with Sam Kusnitz, Leo Genders and Joe Pritts top challengers for spots in the lineup. Van Everen feels that Army’s floor exercise and vault teams are the best “he has ever coached.

Glenn became the first Black Knight in the history of the Open to capture the all-around title last year, and this year will be among the top contenders in his bid to defend his crown. Following a week off, the Black Knights continue on the tournament circuit when they head to Houston, Texas, to participate in the All-Academy Championships with Air Force and Navy on Saturday, Feb. 1. Army finished runner-up to Air Force last year, its highest placing since 2007, and will challenge for the title. The defending champion Falcons were picked 14th in the preseason poll. Service academy rivals Air Force and Navy continue to highlight the month of February. Following the All-Academy Championships the first weekend in February, Army has dual matches against Navy and Air Force the following two weeks. The Black Knights head to Annapolis, Md., on Feb. 8 where they will be looking to post their second straight “Star” win over the Midshipmen in their first ECAC (Eastern College Athletic Conference) match of the season. The following Friday, Feb. 14, Army host Air Force at 6 p.m. in its first of two meets being held at Gross Sports Center. Two days later, Army heads to Massachusetts to take on conference rival Springfield College on Sunday, Feb. 16, at 1 p.m. Following that meet, Army will be idle before closing out February hosting defending ECAC Champion Temple (Feb. 28), picked 12th preseason, followed
two days later by the home finale against Springfield (March 2). Army heads to Virginia for a conference triangular hosted by William & Mary, to include Temple (March 9), in the regular-season meet in preparation for the postseason. The Black Knights will spend the next two weekends in Annapolis, Md., starting with the USA Gymnastics College Championships (March 21-22) and the ECAC Championships (March 28-29) being hosted by Navy. Army did not compete at the College Nationals last year, but a strong showing could be the springboard that moves the Black Knights into contender status heading into the ECAC Championships the following week. The Black Knights hope to be numbered among the participants at the NCAA Championships being held in Ann Arbor, Mich., with the three-day tournament opening with the Qualifier on April 10th. Army has been represented at the NCAAs every year under Coach Van Everen. Last year, Hojan-Clark advanced to the NCAA individual finals, and with talent of the returnees, along with the newcomers, Army expects to be well represented again in 2014.

All-American Brian Lee & Coach Doug Van Everen
HISTORY & RECORDS
2014 ARMY 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. Ten of his gymnasts have combined to win 16 Eastern titles and four All-America certificates THE NED CROSSLEY ERA in Van Everen’s 18 years at West Point.

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. Ranked as high as No. 3 nationally, Rhynedance (1980) on floor exercise. 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.

Marshall tied for 16th in the allaround 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 all-around in his second trip to the NCAAs. He finished two spots shy of All-America honors after placing eighth on the vault. He was 20th in all-around. Ranked nationally in all-around scoring since his freshman year, Marshall listed as high as second in the country and in the Top 10 in the six individual events. After winning the all-around title at the Eastern meet, the first Black Knight since 1939 to do so, Marshall injured his ankle on his dismount on high bar in the first event during competition at the NCAA East Regional meet. Limited to competing only on the pommel horse, he placed ninth overall and second among the individual qualifiers, good enough to earn an NCAA bid where he finished 35th. Marshall became the second gymnast inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame in November 2005. Ben Hayward wrote the headlines the next three years. In 1997, he won the Eastern title on the pommel horse and qualified for the East Regionals along with team captain Peter Gizzi, Mike Bush and freshman Jason Delmarty. Ben Hayward went on to finish runner-up on the horse at regionals to earn a trip to the NCAAs, marking the fifth straight year Army sent a representative to the national competition. There, he copped All-America honors following a fifth-place finish, becoming just the eighth Black Knight to earn that certificate 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.

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 runner-up on high bar, leading Army to a fifth-place finish at the ECAC Championships. In 2002, Army defeated Air Force in dedicating its new facility, Lou Gross Sports Center, in mid-February, and then successfully defended its All-Academy Championship later in the month.

Eckerman was crowned an Eastern champion on floor exercise, becoming only the second gymnast in Army history to win that event. Pazcoguin was selected the ECAC “Senior Athlete of the Year.” Pazcoguin qualified for the NCAA Championships, meeting the standard in all-around for the third consecutive year. Robella and Matt Eckerman also qualified for the third straight year. Robella became Army’s second gymnast under the new scoring format to advance to the preliminary round following a ninth-place finish on floor exercise, but fell short of qualifying for the finals after tying for 16th place.

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” accolades. Army finished the dual meet season with an 11-1 mark, which included two wins over Navy and three over Air Force. Mike Oliveira captured parallel bars at the 2005 ECAC Championships, helping Army to its 12th team title and first in 44 years. 2005-13 WITH VAN EVEREN Injuries caused havoc for Army in 2006. Though the Black Knights failed to for the NCAA Championships, two gymnasts (Eliot Proctor on parallel bars and Tim Burns on high bar) advanced to the preliminary round. Army captured the All-Academy Championships, nipping Navy by 5/100s of a point for the title after bowing to the Midshipmen during the regular season. The Black Knights finished runner-up at the West Point Open, their highest finish in the 15-year history of the event, along with sweeping Air Force twice.

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, members of the band, 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
ARMY TO HOST NCAAs IN 2017
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) announced that Army has been selected as the site for the 2017 NCAA Men’s Division I Gymnastics Championships. The three-day competition will be held at Christl Arena April 20-22. Chosen to host the NCAAs for the fourth time in school history, Army was among the 23 sites awarded for 82 of the 89 championships for the 2014-18 seasons, making it the largest collection of host site announcements in NCAA association history. “We are thrilled to be hosting the 2017 NCAA Men's Gymnastics Championships,” said Boo Corrigan, Army’s Director of Athletics. “West Point is a national treasure, and we believe Christl Arena will be the perfect place to showcase the student-athletes. We are grateful to the NCAA and the committee for choosing our institution to be the site for the national championship.” The original pool of bids included 1,984 submissions. The sites were selected by the respective sport committees, made up of coaches and administrators from NCAA member schools and conferences, and ultimately approved by the appropriate divisional championships cabinets or committees. Previously, selection announcements varied by sport. This new process gives the NCAA and host sites more time to plan each championship experience. In addition, it creates efficiencies across championships allowing for better coordination and planning by the NCAA and its hosts. “It is a tremendous honor for us to be chosen once again to host this prestigious event where we can showcase our facility and institution nationally,” said Army head coach Doug Van Everen, who worked with the Army Athletic Association and the NCAA committee to secure this event for the third time in his tenure. “We are excited for the opportunity that hosting the tournament provides our program in recruiting and fan support “ Army’s list of NCAA individual champions numbers six, the last in 1960 (Army Hall of Fame Jon Aaronsohn, flying rings), while Van Everen had two of his gymnasts earn runner-up honors in Brian Lee, still rings, in 2005 when Army hosted the NCAAs, along with Dustin Greenhill on parallel bars in 2003. At last year’s NCAA Championships, senior Garrek Hojan-Clark was among the top 10 gymnasts on pommel horse to advance to the individual finals. Army was the home site for the NCAA men’s gymnastics national championships in 1950 at Hayes Gymnasium before the event returned to West Point in 2005 and 2010 at Christl Arena. This year’s freshman class will be seniors when the Black Knights host the NCAAs in 2017 for the fourth time to rank among the leaders hosting the tournament. Nebraska has hosted it 10 times, Penn State eight, Chicago five with Army, Ohio State and Oklahoma tied at four.

2014 ARMY 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.

2014 ARMY GYMNASTICS ATHLETIC DIRECTOR - BOO CORRIGAN
Boo Corrigan was named 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 his tenure, 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 two years at West Point, Corrigan has overseen a program that owns eight Patriot League regular season or tournament championships and sent eight teams to the NCAA postseason (rifle). Thirty-three cadets have earned a major award from their conference,. In 2012-13 alone, Army accounted for more than 100 all-league citations. Hockey’s Cheyne Rocha and lacrosse’s Brendan Buckley ach captured the Senior CLASS Award in their respective sports, making Army the only school in the nation to have multiple winners in 201213.
The 2012-13 season was one of the most successful in recent memory on the fields of friendly strife. Army teams combined to post an overall record of 236-183-8. The program’s .562 winning percentage was the highest in eight years. The winter sports programs had their best season in five years as the women’s basketball team won the Patriot League regular season title, the men’s basketball team posted its first winning season in 28 years and the rifle squad advanced to the NCAA Championships for the 10th consecutive season. It was also a great year in the competition against fellow service academies. Army split the season series versus Navy, 16-16-1, marking the best winning percentage against the Mids (.500) since 2004-05. The Black Knights owned a 4-2-1 record against Air Force, improving the record to 20-18-2 (.525) versus service academy foes in 2012-13. Cadet-athletes have continued to thrive in the classroom under Corrigan’s watch. In his two full years, Army has boasted seven Academic All-Americans, including six first-team selections. Lacrosse’s Brendan Buckely became the first Army athlete to capture Academic AllAmerican of the Year honors in 2012. In 2011, the Black Knights’ football team boasted two first-team CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, a first for the program since 1957. Since the start of the 2011-12 season, Army boasts six Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year, including Buckley, a two-time overall men’s winner. Twenty of Army’s 24 NCAA programs scored above the national average in the 2013 NCAA APR report. The men’s cross country and wrestling teams earned public recognition for finishing in the top 10 percent of their respective sport. The cross country squad boasted a perfect score of 1,000. In addition, former football standout Andrew Rodriguez, Class of 2012, 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 scholarathlete. 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 behindthe-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
@Army@Gymnastics
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, Tre and Brian. He is the youngest of seven children of Gene and Lena Corrigan.

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, was the site in 2010 and will be host once again in 2017. 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 22 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. At the 2013 West Point Open, freshman Jesse Glenn captured the all-around title, and senior Garrek Hojan-Clark was first on pommel horse in leading Army to runner-up honors as the Black Knights’ performance tied their highest placing set in 2006. Army was nipped by defending ECAC champion Temple, 417.4-416.1, for the 2013 team title in the seven-team field. Glenn is the first Black Knight to capture the all-around title in the history of the meet, while Hojan-Clark is just the fourth Army gymnast crowned a champion on pommel horse. The West Point 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.
2014 ARMY 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 24-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 in 2012. Committed to excellence, Van Everen is one of the most respected coaches in his profession. He was awarded East Regional “Coach of the Year” honors on the eve of the 2005 NCAA Championships, hosted by the U.S. Military Academy. It was the third time in his tenure and second over a three-year span that he garnered that award. The honor came two weeks after guiding the Black Knights to an 11-1 record and 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, Brian Lee and most recently Garrek Hojan-Clark laid claim to national and regional honors. He has tutored four NCAA All-Americans and 13 Eastern champions who won 18 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, at the NCAAs for the highest showing in Van Everen’s tenure. Also claiming Eastern titles were Sivulka, Marshall, Pazcoguin, Eckerman, Robella, Lee, Mike Oliveira (2005),George Rhynedance (2006), Eliot

Proctor (2007), with recent graduate Garek HojanClark claiming a pair of titles in 2011 and 2013. 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. HojanClark, a four-time NCAA qualifier, ranked among the leaders on pommel horse as well throughout his four years. 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. Hojan-Clark, a finalist last year for the NissanyEmery award, advanced to the indiividual finals on pommel horse at the 2013 NCAAs. 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 with Army breaking the school vault record during a period when

the rules for scoring made it difficult to receive high marks. Van Everen guided the Black Knights to runner-up honors at the ECAC Championships three times over a six-year span. Army’s placing in 1999 was its highest in over a decade, and the Black Knights repeated in 2003 and 2004. Army gymnasts have also excelled as students. The Black Knights ranked among an elite group of 20 teams selected in 1998 for national academic honors by the College Gymnastics Association. Army placed 12th with a 3.07 team grade-point average, beating both Navy (15th) and Air Force (16th). Jeff Means, Hayward and John Doss were among 49 individuals honored as scholar-athlete All-Americans, who earned a 3.5 grade-point average or better, while Oliveira was named a College Gymnastics Association 2005 All-America scholar-athlete. In addition to turning out nationally-ranked gymnasts, the U.S. Military Academy has become a showcase as one of the premier venues for prominent gymnastics meets. Army served as the host for the 63rd NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships in 2005 and was the venue again in 2010. The Black Knights hosted the ECAC Championships in 2008 and 2009 at Gross Sports Center. Van Everen, who worked tirelessly to bring that event to West Point, also administers the annual West Point Open, one of the largest meets on the East Coast. Prior to becoming Army’s sixth head coach, Van Everen was the head mentor at San Jose
State for three years (1987-90). He directed his squad to an 8-11 record and a trip to the NCAA Western Regionals his final year in compiling a mark of 12-32. Van Everen has made a name for himself on the national level. He has served as president of the College Gymnastics Association and coached the USA national team in 1995 and 1996. He has also served as chairman of the NCAA Gymnastics Rules Committee, has been on the Board of Directors of USA Gymnastics and developed the College Gymnastics Foundation in 1996 for which he currently serves as president. Van Everen graduated from Cal State Fullerton in 1987 with a degree in physical education. A four-year letterwinner as an allarounder, he led CSF to the NCAAs in 1985. The experience gained working at clinics, clubs, camps and youth gymnastics started Van Everen on the path to coaching and helped secure the head position at San Jose State following his graduation from college. During that coaching stint, he earned his master’s degree in athletic administration from St. Mary’s of California in 1990. Six years later, Van Everen completed his doctoral requirements in athletic administration at the University of New Mexico. Van Everen and his wife Terri reside at West Point. They have two sons, Kirk (24) and Connor (19). Kirk (USMA 2011) is stationed in Vicenzia, Italy, with the 173rd unit and was deployed to Afghanistan last year. His son Connor is attending Cortlandt.

2014 ARMY GYMNASTICS ASSISTANT COACH CARMINE GIGLIO When Carmine Giglio joined Army’s gymnastics staff 14 years ago, head coach Doug Van Everen gained a skilled and talented assistant who helped bring the Black Knights to the forefront of collegiate gymnastics. As two of the most respected coaches in the field, the Army duo were honored at the conference and national level in 2005, earning four coaching awards between them. Giglio was the recipient of the College Gymnastics Association (CGA) National Assistant Coach of the Year award shortly after copping ECAC “Assistant of the Year” accolades, and Van Everen earned ECAC and CGA East Regional “Coach of the Year” honors. They guided Army to an 11-1 record that year and its first ECAC Championship since 1962. Prior to capturin the title, the Black Knights earned runner-up honors in 2003 and 2004.

His first season (2001) was marked by the Black Knights posting their highest winning percentage (.727) at the time under Van Everen, along with an Eastern League champion and a record eight gymnasts qualifying for the NCAA Championships. Army defeated Navy three times during the season en route to an 8-3 mark. His second season saw Army crown its first Eastern champion on floor exercise since 1980, along with six gymnasts qualifying for the NCAA Championships. Army also defended its title at the All-Academy Championships, outpointing both Navy and Air Force. The 2003-2005 seasons have proven to be the most superb in school history. In 2003, Army authored a 13-1 mark (.929), posted a pair of second-place finishes at the ECAC and USAGC Championships, qualified a record 12 individuals for the NCAA Championships and claimed an AllAmerican. The Black Knights crowned an ECAC champion and USAGC national champion along with five USAGC All-America certificates.

The 2004 campaign at that point was the finest under Van Everen and Giglio with Army earning a berth to the NCAA Championships following a second-place finish at the ECAC Championships, where the Black Knights crowned their first ECAC still rings champion in ten years. Wins over Navy and Air Force once again were included in Army’s 10-4 mark. The 2005 season was highlighted by Army’s first ECAC title since 1962, along with crowning an Eastern champion and an 11-1 record. George Rhynedance captured an Eastern title on the high bar in 2006, Eliot Proctor followed on the parallel bars in 2007, along with Garrek Hojan-Clark on pommel horse in 2011. Army also picked up three USAG All-American certificates in 2011, and last year Hojan-Clark earned his second ECAC title on pommel horse. Ranked No. 2 nationally in 2013, the Nissan-Emery finalist reached the individual finals on pommel horse at the NCAA Campionships. As a collegian, Giglio enjoyed a standout career at Western Michigan. The three-time captain became the first Bronco to qualify for the NCAA Championships in all-around following a ninth-place finish at the East Regionals his senior campaign. After earning his bachelor’s degree in exercise science with a minor in health in 1990, Giglio began his coaching career on the staff at the International Gymnastics School. Giglio and his wife Kelly reside in New Windsor, N.Y., with their sons Jase Anthony (7) and Caden Park (5), along with daughter Kira Shaye (3).

He was among Army’s leaders in several meets, to include competing at the Winter Cup Challenge. An injury late in the season denied him from earning postseason honors at the ECAC Championships and NCAAs. “Having Jesse back in the lineup in six events will be a game changer for us,” noted Van Everen. “He is one of our top performers in floor exercise vault, high bar and parallel bars. Right up there with him is Kip, who will concentrate on floor exercise, still rings, vault and parallel bars.” Complementing the returnees is another exceptional freshman class with Sam Kusnitz, Leo Genders and Joe Pritts top challengers for spots in the lineup.

All-American Brian Lee & Coach Doug Van Everen
HISTORY & RECORDS
2014 ARMY 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.

Marshall tied for 16th in the allaround 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 all-around in his second trip to the NCAAs. He finished two spots shy of All-America honors after placing eighth on the vault. He was 20th in all-around. Ranked nationally in all-around scoring since his freshman year, Marshall listed as high as second in the country and in the Top 10 in the six individual events. After winning the all-around title at the Eastern meet, the first Black Knight since 1939 to do so, Marshall injured his ankle on his dismount on high bar in the first event during competition at the NCAA East Regional meet. Limited to competing only on the pommel horse, he placed ninth overall and second among the individual qualifiers, good enough to earn an NCAA bid where he finished 35th. Marshall became the second gymnast inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame in November 2005. Ben Hayward wrote the headlines the next three years. In 1997, he won the Eastern title on the pommel horse and qualified for the East Regionals along with team captain Peter Gizzi, Mike Bush and freshman Jason Delmarty. Ben Hayward went on to finish runner-up on the horse at regionals to earn a trip to the NCAAs, marking the fifth straight year Army sent a representative to the national competition. There, he copped All-America honors following a fifth-place finish, becoming just the eighth Black Knight to earn that certificate 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.

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 runner-up on high bar, leading Army to a fifth-place finish at the ECAC Championships. In 2002, Army defeated Air Force in dedicating its new facility, Lou Gross Sports Center, in mid-February, and then successfully defended its All-Academy Championship later in the month.

Eckerman was crowned an Eastern champion on floor exercise, becoming only the second gymnast in Army history to win that event. Pazcoguin was selected the ECAC “Senior Athlete of the Year.” Pazcoguin qualified for the NCAA Championships, meeting the standard in all-around for the third consecutive year. Robella and Matt Eckerman also qualified for the third straight year. Robella became Army’s second gymnast under the new scoring format to advance to the preliminary round following a ninth-place finish on floor exercise, but fell short of qualifying for the finals after tying for 16th place. In 2003, Army defeated Navy and Air Force twice during the dual meet season, and snapped a five-meet losing streak to Temple. Army listed as high as No. 9 in

2014 ARMY GYMNASTICS HISTORY 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” accolades. Army finished the dual meet season with an 11-1 mark, which included two wins over Navy and three over Air Force. Mike Oliveira captured parallel bars at the 2005 ECAC Championships, helping Army to its 12th team title and first in 44 years. 2005-13 WITH VAN EVEREN Injuries caused havoc for Army in 2006. Though the Black Knights failed to for the NCAA Championships, two gymnasts (Eliot Proctor on parallel bars and Tim Burns on high bar) advanced to the preliminary round. Army captured the All-Academy Championships, nipping Navy by 5/100s of a point for the title after bowing to the Midshipmen during the regular season. The Black Knights finished runner-up at the West Point Open, their highest finish in the 15-year history of the event, along with sweeping Air Force twice.

Junior George Rhynedance was crowned an Eastern champion on high bar, joining his father George (USMA ‘80) as the only father-son duo in Army history to claim titles. The 2007 season was a bit kinder as Army posted a 9-3 record that included wins over Navy and Air Force along with winning the All-Academy championships for the seventh straight 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, members of the band, 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
