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

Now in the midst of his fourth year as the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at the Army West Point, Boo Corrigan has guided the Black Knights to incredible successes on the fields of friendly strife, victories over Navy, surpassed ambitious fundraising goals, upgraded several facilities and added three varsity sports, all while cadet-athletes continued to raise the bar academically. Corrigan was named Director of Intercollegiate Athletics on Feb. 1, 2011 and the short time since, Army has won the “Star” series against Navy, claimed the overall competition against the Midshipmen, added Academic All-American certificates, raised the annual fund by nearly $3 million, increased the “For Us All Capital Campaign by $55 million,” completed fundraising on a new lacrosse building and established 10new program endowments. Under Corrigan’s leadership, Army has added women’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s rugby to its offering of sports with nearly a quarter of the Corps of Cadets, around 1,000, competing in varsity sports under the athletic department. In addition to the additional sport offerings, a massive state-of-the art videoboard was added to Tate Rink, a press box was included at Doubleday Field at Johnson Stadium, the ticket office was upgraded and moved to a more fanfriendly location in Michie Stadium and work will begin the fall on a lacrosse building that will include locker rooms, team rooms, weight room, athletic training space and much more for both the men’s and women’s lacrosse programs. A branding campaign that started in 2011 at Michie Stadium will continue with additions to Christl Arena this fall. 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. In his first full three years at West Point, Corrigan has overseen a program that owns 11 Patriot League regular season or tournament championships and sent eight teams to the NCAA postseason. Thirty-three cadets have earned a major award from their conference, Last season, Corrigan led Army Athletics to its first star series victory since 1996, going 12-11 in star competitions against Navy. It was the 12th victory in the series for the Academy. West Point went 18-13 overall against the Mids

during the year and has a 34-29-1 mark versus Navy in the last two seasons. Army finished a very successful campaign in 2013-14 with an overall record of 235-173-7 for a .575 winning percentage, the highest mark since 2004-05. In 2013-14, the Black Knights brought home league titles in men’s tennis, baseball and women’s basketball. Army won regular season titles in men’s tennis and baseball, while the women’s hoops squad won the league tournament and was a 13th seed in the NCAA Tournament. Ten of Army’s squads participated in Patriot League postseason, while rifle earned an NCAA berth for the 11th-straight season. Army collected more than 100 all-league citations in 2012-13 alone. Hockey’s Cheyne Rocha and lacrosse’s Brendan Buckley each captured the Senior CLASS Award in their respective sports, making Army the only school in the nation to have multiple winners in 2012-13. During the 2012-13 season, Army teams combined to post an overall record of 236-183-8 for a .562 winning percentage. 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 2018-2 (.525) versus service academy foes in 2012-13. Cadet-athletes have continued to thrive in the classroom under Corrigan’s watch. In his three full years, Army has boasted 12 Academic All-Americans, including seven first-team selections. Lacrosse’s Brendan Buckely became the first Army athlete to capture Academic All-American 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. During the 2013-14 season, Army registered five Academic All-American selections. 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 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. 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 served as 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.

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 25year mentor has ascended to 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 five-year 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 All-Academy Championships, along with compiling a 15-1 dual mark against Air Force and a 12-3 verdict versus Navy during that span. Under Van Everen’s tutelage, the Black Knights ranked as high as No. 9 nationally in 2003 and 2004, and 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 12-meet 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 runner-up finishes at the ECAC and USAGC Championships, while closing with an NCAA All-America certificate, five USAGC AllAmericans 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, Jesse Glenn and Kip Webber. He has tutored four NCAA All-Americans and 14 Eastern champions who won 21 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), Kip Webber

Hojan-Clark, 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, Hojan-Clark and Glenn are three sophomores under Van Everen to win a title. Oliveira and Hojan-Clark copped medalist honors on parallel bars and pommel horse at the 2005 and 2011 meets, respectively, while Glenn captured a pair of titles (all-around and high bar in 2014) to becme the first Cadet to capture a pair of ECAC titles at a meet since 1939. 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 Nissany-Emery award, advanced to the indiividual finals on pommel horse at the 2013 NCAAs. Ten of his gymansts earned 15 USAGC all-america certificates. Five were collected 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 scholarathlete. 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. Most recently three gymnasts garnered seven All-America certificates at the 2014 championships with Glenn earning five to include being crowned the all-around champion. 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 runnerup 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 AllAmerica 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, was the venue again in 2010 and will be host again in 2017. The Black Knights will host the ECAC Champions in 2014 at Gross Sports Center after being the site in 2008 and 2009. 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.

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. Since his arrival at West Point, the Black Knights have sported an overall record of 75-63-1 (.543) and have crowned an Eastern League individual champion nine of the last 13 years. In 2004, Army earned its first bid to the NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships since 1963, then won its first ECAC title in 44 years the following spring along with the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Army sent a school-record 12 individual qualifiers to the NCAAs by his third season (2003), and sent nine last year. Giglio helped Army win the All-Academy title seven straight years along with a 15-1 showing against Air Force and 13-3 versus Navy en route to compiling a dual winning percentage of 88 percent (28-4) over its serviceacademy rivals during that span. 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

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 secondplace finishes at the ECAC and USAGC Championships, qualified a record 12 individuals for the NCAA Championships and claimed an All-American. The Black Knights crowned an ECAC champion and USAGC national champion along with five USAGC All-America certificates. The 2004 campaign at that point was the finest under Van Everen and Giglio with Army earning a berth to the NCAA Championships following a second-place finish at the ECAC Championships, where the Black Knights crowned their first ECAC still rings champion in ten years. Wins over Navy and Air Force once again were included in Army’s 10-4 mark. The 2005 season was highlighted by Army’s first ECAC title since 1962, 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.

The reasons for Van Everen’s optimism is based on the talent and leadership of the returning letterwinners and the capability of the newcomers. Junior all-arounder Jesse Glenn, who ranked among the nation’s elite since his freshman year, will once again set the pace. The five-time 2014 USAG All-American (all-around, high bar, parallel bars, floor exercise and pommel horse) also captured a pair of Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) titles (all-around, high bar) and is the school record-holder in all-around (88.45), high bar (15.35) and shares parallel bars (14.7) with classmate Chris Short. After an injury late in the season denied an individual berth to the NCAAs his freshman year, Glenn was among nine Black Knights (six returners) who qualified individually for last year’s national meet. Glenn headed to the meet ranked fifth as an all-arounder, was second on high bar and 28th on pommel horse, along with listing in the top 50 in floor exercise, still rings and parallel bars. “Our goal is to win our conference (ECAC) title,” explains Van Everen, who led Army to three NC AA berths, the last in 2007. “We have a tremendous team with a wealth of experience back from last year’s squad that was runner-up at the ECAC Championship and had nine qualify individually for the NCAAs. Our freshman class is very talented and will be asked to contribute immediately. “It will be tough challenge, but I feel we have the edge and it will come down to us being consistent and staying healthy.” Army will be the host schools for this year’s ECAC meet and the home field advantage is a big plus taking on William & Mary, Navy, Springfield and UIC in its bid for the title. The Black Knights’ strongest events at season’s start are floor exercise, vault and high bar with parallel bars and pommel horse much improved since last year. The lone event that could cause concern is still rings. FLOOR EXERCISE Freshmen Seth Cannon and Nathan Goff will lead off on floor, but will be conservative in the degree of difficulty at season’s start. Van Everen is looking “to get a hit of some kind and feels that when they gain confidence and strength in their stride, we will add more difficulty to their routines.” Sophomore Joe Pritts, an NCAA qualifier in floor last year, is once again solid with classmates Leo Gender and Sam Kusnitz expected to add valuable points as well. Genders increased his degree of difficulty by at least a point and Kusnitz, the ECAC Rookie of the Year, ranked second among last year’s NCAA individual qualifiers in this event. Glenn, who earned USAG All-America honors in floor exercise, rounds out a strong group on floor exercise. POMMEL HORSE Newcomers Andre Hufnagel, Cannon and Goth have the talent to be among Army’s top point producers in what is considered the most difficult of all the events as they join Glenn, Connor Venrick and Short in making it one of

Head Army gymnastics coach Doug Van Everen opens his 24th season at the helm with high expectations of earning a team berth to the NCAA Tournament in April. Though coming up just short of that goal last year, the 2015 edition of the Black Knights is looking to rectify that as Van Everen views this year’s team among the most talented in his tenure.
Nathan Goff
the team’s strengths this season. Venrick, who ranked third last year among the NCAA individual qualifiers, is Army’s top returnee. The three-year lettewinner, who has increased his degree of difficulty on this apparatus, has a wealth of experience to call upon. He heads into his final season as the defending champion in this event at the West Point Open, along with providing leadership to the younger members of the team. Glenn is a USAG All-American, and Short was a regular last year in this event as well. STILL RINGS After being one of Army’s top events last year, it is one of concern for Van Everen as graduation and injury to team captain Alex Ganz has taken its toll. Freshman Goff adds depth as he joins Venrick, who Van Everen looks to be one of the key components, Glenn and sophomore Joe Pritts will comprise this year’s group. Glenn was an NCAA all-around participant last year and Pritts was a regular in the lineup. Freshman Ryan Wilson is in the wings and provides needed depth. “We have four solid competitors in the event,” explained Van Everen. “Once we go up to five up, four count, it won’t be as painful, but that doesn’t come until February. Until then it is six up, five count.” VAULT Vault is an event that has improved, but will still be young with underclassmen making up a majority of the lineup. NCAA Qualifiers Glenn, Pritts and Kusnitz, along Leo Genders, return and will be bolstered by freshmen Cannon and Nick McAffe. Kusnitz listed second among the individual NCAA qualifiers in this event with Pritts an alternate and Glenn competing as an all-arounder.

2015 SEASON PREVIEW provide Army with top scores once again. The school record-holder in this event (88.45), Glenn headed to the NCAAs ranked No. 5 nationally and first among the individual qualifiers. Freshman Goff, who will start off the season competing in five of the six events, is looking to not only compete in every meet but draw time in all six as he looks to make an impact as an all-arounder.
goARMYsports.com
“The meet opens your eyes and you see right off the bat what to expect,” explains Van Everen. “If you say you want to be good, then here is ‘good.’ I think it is a great opportunity for our team to grow up, get better and stronger and look down the road a little bit longer than just focus on our conference. You have to deal with Penn State and teams similar to it at the nationals, so you might just as well start off doing it.” Next up is the West Point Open where when over 700 athletes (college and club teams) compete early in January. Army was third in 2014 and will be looking to finish higher, but once again will be challenged by the defending champion Nittany Lions who have dominated this meet. “We are focused on hitting our routines and looking beyond the West Point Open as we prepare for Navy, the All-Academy Championships and our conference championship,” adds Van Everen. Army’s schedule is not an easy one, for after the West Point Open, as the Black Knights have a tough road slate when they fly to the mid-West to take on Nebraska and Air Force, ranked 10th and 11th respectively, at the end of January. Jesse Glenn
PARALLEL BARS Parallel bars are an event that has been improving the past two years and is expected to be solid this year despite the injury loss of team captain Ganz. The addition of freshman Goff to the returning unit of juniors Glen and Short, along with sophomores Kusnitz and Pritts, is the reason for Van Everen’s optimism. Glenn, a USAG All-American, co-shares the school record with Short. Both competed at the 2014 NCAAs with Short ranked second among the qualifiers and Glenn listed first among the individual all-around qualifiers and fifth nationally. HIGH BAR Just two short years ago, Amy lost a few meets after being outscored in the final event (high bar), but that was not the case last year, nor will it be this year as it is one of the Black Knights’ premier events. Jesse Glenn, a 2014 USAG All-American and Army’s school record-holder (15.35), headed to last year’s NCAAs ranked No. 2 on high bar. Sophomores Kusnitz and Genders, NCAA qualifiers their freshman year, are consistent performers and will be joined in the lineup by freshmen Goff, a Junior National Champion, and Cannon. Newcomer McAfee will also add depth. ALL-AROUND Jesse Glenn, who has competed as an all-arounder since his freshman year, is a 2014 USAG All-American and ECAC champion who will continue to

The team is on the road the following weekend when Army travels to Texas for the annual All-Academy Championships (Feb. 7) to challenge for the service-academy title. “We are definitely better than we were last year by a long shot,” laughs Van Everen, “and I am confident we are capable of beating both Navy and Air Force as we need to keep moving forward in each meet. Last year Glenn competed at the Winter Cup (mid-February) and Van Everen is looking to have a larger contingent attend this year. Following that break, it is a busy stretch for the Black Knights starting with hosting a three-meet conference slate with Navy (Feb. 14), Springfield and William & Mary (Feb. 28) before taking to the road against the Pride (March 8) and Tribe (March 14), the defending ECAC Champions. Army is the host site for the two-day ECAC Championships (March 27-28) and the team hopes the home court advantage will help spur the Black Knights to the title and automatic bid to the NCACs. Next up is the NCAA Championships, in Norman, Okla., where Army has been represented every year under Van Everen. The Army mentor is confident of challenging for All-America honors on floor exercise, pommel horse, all-around and high bar. The Black Knights came close the past two years of bringing home a coveted All-America certificate and this could be the year Army turns that corner.

2014 SEASON REVIEW
2015 Army Gymnastics
E AS T E R N C O L L EG E AT H L E T I C C O N F E R E N C E ( EC AC ) In the 75 years since its inception, the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) has emerged as the nation’s largest conference. The ECAC has grown considerably from its charter membership of 58, currently boasting over 300 member schools in Divisions I, II and III, ranging in location from Maine to North Carolina. In the 2013-14 academic year, the ECAC will host over 100 championships in 37 men’s and women’s sports as the sponsors of over 5,800 varsity teams and 111,000 male and female athletes.
Through the years the ECAC has exerted leadership not only at the regional level, but at the national level as well. Comprising more than 33 percent of the NCAA membership, the conference plays an integral role in national collegiate athletics policy and legislation. The conference, led by Commissioner Kevin McGinniss, continues today to address many of the same issues affecting college athletics in the past while striving to lead this industry in the 21st century. Inaugural commissioner Asa S. Bushnell molded the organization from its formation in the 1938 to his retirement in 1970. George Schiebler succeeded Bushnell as commissioner from 1970-72, followed by Robert M. “Scotty” Whitelaw (1972-1989), Clayton Chapman (198998), Phil Buttafuoco (1998-2006) and Rudy Keeling (2007-2013). Current commissioner Kevin McGinniss assumed chief administrator responsibilities on June 1, 2013. McGinniss brings extensive knowledge and leadership into the mix based on his 25 years of senior administration in intercollegiate athletics. Mission Statement The mission of the ECAC shall be to initiate, stimulate and improve intercollegiate athletics programs for student-athletes, and to promote and develop educational leadership, athletics excellence and athletics participation. The ECAC shall: *Understand, respect and support programs and philosophies of each member; *Assist and involve all constituents in developing and maintaining consistent, equitable competitive opportunities; The ECAC shall be a leader, either as a primary or secondary provider, of services to its member conferences and institutions to achieve the mission. *Develop and implement the best possible programs and services (championships, officiating, public relations, etc.) for the membership; and *Promote college athletics in general, and specifically, highlight stories about its membership, student-athletes, coaches and administrators. *The ECAC shall be a leader, either as a primary or secondary provider, of services to its member conferences and institutions to achieve the mission. Competition The ECAC administers nearly 100 championships for 37 men’s and women’s sports. The ECAC also serves as the primary league for Division III men’s hockey, Division III women’s hockey (2), and Division I men’s lacrosse. In addition, the ECAC provides leadership assistance for numerous affiliate organizations including the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes in America (IC4A), Intercollegiate Fencing Association (IFA), Eastern Intercollegiate Gymnastics League (EIGL), Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association (EIWA), Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges (EARC), Eastern Association of Women’s Rowing Colleges (EAWRC), Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA), ECAC Hockey League (ECACHL) and Eastern College Athletic Conference Sports Information Directors Association (ECAC-SIDA). Officiating The ECAC assigns over 4,400 officials in 11 sports across Divisions I, II and III, including men’s and women’s basketball, fencing, football, men’s gymnastics, men’s and women’s ice hockey, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, and wrestling. Awards The ECAC publicizes the achievements of over 2,000 student-athletes annually through the Player of the Week program and postseason all-stars.

The ECAC was founded in 1938 as the Central Office for Eastern Intercollegiate Athletics. One of the most significant events in ECAC history occurred in 1983 with the consolidation of the Eastern Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (EAIAW) into the ECAC infrastructure. With the addition of women’s sports, the ECAC doubled its number of championships and greatly increased its member base.

HISTORY OF ARMY GYMNASTICS
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 21134-6 (.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 (1953-54). 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 captain in 1923, as the only father-son combination in Army history to serve in
that capacity. THE NED CROSSLEY ERA In 1972-73, Ned Crossley took over the program and authored a very successful 108-45 mark during his 12-year reign. Crossley’s finest team was the 1978-79 squad that went 14-1, while his 1975-76 and 1979-80 teams posted identical 13-1 records. He also developed three Eastern champions — Scott Shorr (1978) and Chris Adams (1982) on the vault and George Rhynedance (1980) on floor exercise. Rhynedance shared first-place honors at Easterns on floor exercise in 1980 along with a second place on the high bar and third on vault. He qualified for the NCAA Championships and just missed the finals on vault and the high bar. Crossley compiled a 108-45 (.706) winning percentage during his 12 years (1972-84) as the head coach.

Army is looking to celebrate its 89th 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 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 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.

2015 Army Gymnastics
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.

2015 Army Gymnastics 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
