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.

AT WEST POINT, IT IS OFTEN SAID ...

“MUCH OF THE HISTORY WE TEACH WAS MADE

BY PEOPLE WE TAUGHT.”

FRANK BORMAN

ULYSSESS. S. GRANT ULYSSES GRANT

Robert E. Lee ’29 The Academy’s ninth Superintendent (1852-55), Lee was a model cadet during his four years at West Point.

He graduated second in his class and never earned a single demerit during his four years at the Academy. At the beginning of the Civil War, he was selected to serve as Commanding General of the Army, but instead resigned his commission and was named General-In-Chief of the Confederate Army from 1861 to 1865. Lee’s surrender to Ulysses S. Grant (USMA 1843), at Appomattox Court House, Va., ended the Civil War. Fort Lee, Va., was named in his honor.

Ulysses S. Grant ’43 Grant distinguished himself during the Civil War at the Battle of Vicksburg in 1863; his victory secured control of the Mississippi River for the Union.

President Abe Lincoln later appointed him Commanding General of the Army in March 1864. On April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House, Va., Robert E. Lee (USMA 1829) surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to him, ending the Civil War. Grant later served as the 18th President of the United States from 1869 to 1877. Today, his image graces the $50 bill.

George W. Goethals ’80 Goethals became an architect and was builder of the Panama Canal, 1904 to 1914.

John J. Pershing ’86 Considered the second most senior officer in Army history, behind only George Washington, Pershing served as commander of the American Expeditionary Force during World War I. The two-million-plus troops of the AEF made a decisive contribution to the defeat of Imperial Germany. Pershing’s abilities as a leader distinguished him among European commanders, and through repeated successes on the battlefield, promoted American prestige around the world. He served as Army Chief of Staff in 1921, and was named General of the Armies of the United States upon his retirement in 1924.

Douglas MacArthur ’03 After World War I, MacArthur returned to West Point to serve as the Academy’s 31st Superintendent from 1919 to 1922. During that time, he was responsible for the revitalization of the Academy. He was later promot-

ALEXANDER HAIG JR.

ed to General of the Army and served as Supreme Allied Commander in the Pacific Theater during World War II. During that time, he received the Medal of Honor for leading defense preparation and operations on the Philippine Islands. He later served as Supreme Allied Commander, Japan, and as commander, United Nations Command in the Far East. He was one of only five officers to be promoted to General of the Army (five stars).

George S. Patton Jr. ’09 “Old Blood and Guts,” Patton was one of the most colorful commanders in the Army. During World War II the famed commander of the 2nd Armored Division and later the Third Army displayed courage and daring as prominently as the pair of ivory handled revolvers he wore. Patton accomplished one of the most remarkable feats in military history in December 1944, when he quickly turned the Third Army northward to reinforce the Allied southern flank against the German attack in the Battle of the Bulge.

The General’s doctrine of aggressive employment of massive armor forces continue to prove themselves in combat arenas around the world.

Omar N. Bradley ’15 During his career, Bradley earned a reputation as one of the best infantry commanders in World War II. He commanded the 82nd Airborne and 28th Infantry Divisions before going on to command the 1st Army and the 12th Army Group. After the war he served as Army Chief of Staff from 1948 to 1949 and served as the first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1949 to 1953. He was the last Army officer to be promoted to General of the Army (five stars), and the Bradley fighting vehicle is named in his honor.

Dwight D. Eisenhower ’15 During World War II, Eisenhower served as Supreme Commander of Allied Forces Europe from 1943 to 1944, during which he led the D-Day invasion of Europe. During that time, he was promoted to General of the Army (five stars). After the war, he served as Army Chief of Staff from 1945 to 1948 and was named President of Columbia University in 1948. He served as the 34th President of the United States from 1953 to 1961 and was one of only five officers to be promoted to General of the Army (five stars).

Fidel V. Ramos ’50 One of the Academy’s international cadets, Ramos served as a Philippine Army officer after graduation. He eventually became the country’s military Chief of Staff and later Secretary of National Defense. He also served as President of the Republic of the Philippines from 1992 to 1998.

Edwin E. Aldrin ’51 An astronaut from 1963 to 1972, Aldrin participated in the first manned lunar landing with Michael Collins (USMA ’52) and was the second man to walk on the moon.

Edward White ’52 An astronaut from 1962 to 1967, White was the first man to walk in space and was one of the three astronauts killed in the Apollo I disaster in 1967.

H. Norman Schwarzkopf ’56 As Commander-in-Chief, United States Central Command from 1988 to 1991, Schwarzkopf’s command ultimately responded to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait with the largest U.S. deployment since the Vietnam War, including portions of the Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps as well as units from dozens of nations around the world.

After retiring, Schwartzkopf received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Peter M. Dawkins ’59 Dawkins was Cadet Brigade Commander (First Captain of the U.S. Corps of Cadets) as a senior and became the third Heisman Trophy winner in Army football history. He later served as chairman and CEO of Primerica.

NORMAN SCHWARZKOPF

James V. Kimsey ’62 Kimsey was the founding chairman of America Online, and was named chairman emeritus in 1996. He founded the Kimsey Foundation in 1996.

“I think if my dear mother were alive, she would tell you nothing comes close to graduating from West Point, even going to the moon.”

- Astronaut Frank Borman “The combination of an education at West Point and the experience of a career in the armed services will prepare you in a unique way for a rich diversity of further career and service in civilian life.”

- Heisman Trophy winner Glenn Davis

FRANK BORMAN

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

- President George H.W. Bush

GLENN DAVIS

GEORGE H.W. BUSH

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

- PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

“My four years at West Point were wonderful. I loved every minute of it and particularly the last three years. I loved the history. I loved the tradition. I liked wearing the uniform. I felt like I belonged there.

Everything was meaningful to me. There is no question in my mind the proudest day of my father’s life was the day I graduated from West Point. There is a picture of the two of us standing on ‘The Plain’ and he is just beaming.” - General H. Norman Schwarzkopf “I was so proud to be on the verge of entering the only institution in American society at that time that was totally integrated, in which I would have the opportunity to rise, based solely on performance and ability. The nation always looks to West Point and always looks to each and every one of you to follow always the angels of your nature.”

- General Colin Powell

NORMAN SCHWARZKOPF

“How great it must be, gosh how great it must be to be a member of this Corps. To know that camaraderie of discipline, of manners, of courtesy, of human sensibility, of one’s duty to his fellow man.” - Journalist Walter Cronkite “In every corner of America, the words ‘West Point’ command immediate respect. This place where the Hudson River bends is more than a fine institution of learning. The United States Military Academy is the guardian of values that have shaped the soldiers who have shaped the world.”

- President George W. Bush

GEORGE W. BUSH

“This place reeks of honor and discipline. With this show, we’ve been to a lot of great campuses all throughout the country over the years—and folks, let me tell you - there is absolutely nothing like this!

Do yourself a favor and go look up West Point’s wikipedia page and compare that to your local college – that ought to shut you down for a while!”

– Colin Cowherd, ESPN Radio HOST

“Any of us who went through the process; anyone who felt the flame of that furnace, came away altered in the way we go about running our lives. Some part of it is the belief that you are not only doing it for personal glory, but you do it because it is your responsibility. It’s part of being a member of The Corps and each of us that have felt that magic feel especially privileged to have done so.”

- Heisman Trophy winner Pete Dawkins

PETE DAWKINS

“As I look back over my career in government, in business, of course in the military, I think West Point was a very influential experience. It hardened a sense of discipline, a sense of responsibility, duty and integrity and also very happily combined an alertness of mind and body.”

- Former Secretary of State Alexander Haig “For here we train the men and women whose duty it is to defend the Republic, the men and women whose profession is watchfulness, whose skill is vigilance, whose calling is to guard the peace, but if need be, to fight and win.”

- President Ronald Reagan

“West Point is the ring.

It’s the foundation of everything I have done.”

- MIKE KRZYZEWSKI ‘69

RONALD REAGAN

“In the evening of my memory, always I come back to West Point. Always there echoes and re-echoes ... Duty -- Honor -Country. Today marks my final roll call with you. But I want you to know, when I cross the river, my last conscious thoughts will be of The Corps ... and The Corps ... and The Corps ...”

- General Douglas MacArthur “As I look back on my life, I’ll always revere the opportunities that came along that brought about the choice I made to go to West Point. I just feel that it was fundamental in molding the fabric of my life. The experiences that I had at West Point, they were irreplaceable.” - Astronaut Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin

DOUGLAS MACARTHUR

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

- Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski “This nation is grateful that four years ago every man and woman graduating today made a life-changing decision. You left the comforts and familiar surroundings of civilian life, and devoted yourselves to one of the noblest professions in a free country--the profession of arms.”

- FORMER Vice President Dick Cheney

DICK CHENEY

“West Point’s graduates have served America in many, many ways. Not only by leading troops into combat, but also by exploring frontiers, founding universities, laying out the railroads, building the Panama Canal, running corporations, serving in the Congress and The White House, and walking on the moon. Through our history, whenever duty called, the men and women of West Point have never failed us, and I speak for all Americans when I say, I know you never will.” - President Bill Clinton

The mission of the U.S. Military Academy is to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country; professional growth throughout a career as an officer in the U.S. Army; and a lifetime of selfless service to the Nation.

Founded on March 16, 1802, the Academy celebrated its Bicentennial in 2002. But West Point’s role in America’s history dates to the Revolutionary War, when both sides realized the strategic importance of the commanding plateau on the west bank of the Hudson River. Gen. George Washington considered West Point to be the most strategic position in America. He personally selected Thaddeus Kosciuszko, one of the heroes of Saratoga, to design the fortifications in 1778 after problems arose with French engineers originally placed in charge of the design. In 1779, General Washington transferred his headquarters to West Point. Continental soldiers built forts, batteries and defensive barriers. A 100-ton iron chain was extended across the Hudson to control river traffic. Today, several links from that chain are arranged at Trophy Point as a reminder of West Point’s original fortifications.

In 1802 President Thomas Jefferson signed the legislation establishing the U.S. Military Academy to create an institution devoted to the arts and sciences of warfare. This effectively eliminated America’s wartime reliance on foreign engineers and artillerists.

West Point became the nation’s first engineering school and served as the model for engineering programs which were eventually established at other colleges.

Col. Sylvanus Thayer, the “Father of the Military Academy,” served as Superintendent from 1817 through 1833. He upgraded academic standards, instilled military discipline and emphasized honorable conduct. Early graduates were largely responsible for the construction of the nation’s initial railway lines, bridges, harbors, and roads. Although the curriculum maintains its focus on engineering, in recent decades the program of instruction has markedly changed, providing cadets a selection of more than 40 majors. This tradition of academic and military excellence, guided by a demanding standard of moral and ethical conduct, remains the cornerstone of the West Point experience.

It is said at West Point that “much of the history we teach was made by those people we taught.” The Academy has produced famous leaders throughout its illustrious past…Civil War Generals Grant, Sherman, Lee, and Jackson, to name but a few. In World War I, 34 of the 38 corps and division commanders were graduates. World War II would see many graduates reach brigadier general or higher, to include Eisenhower, MacArthur, Bradley and Patton. In more recent conflicts, MacArthur, Ridgway, Westmoreland, Abrams, Schwarzkopf and Abizaid were in command.

Academy graduates have also excelled in air and space exploration, and countless others went on from military service to become leaders in medicine, law, business, religion and science.

Since its founding, the Military Academy fulfills the same mission as it always has . . . to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets. It accomplishes this mission by developing cadets in three essential areas: intellectual, physical and military. These developmental paths are balanced and fully integrated into the daily life of each young man and woman at the Academy.

Intellectual growth is fostered through an academic curriculum that provides a broad liberal education in the arts and sciences. The electives program builds upon the foundation of the core, allowing cadets to develop even greater competence in selected areas. In addition, the fields-of-study and majors nurture the development of creativity, critical thinking, and self-directed learning, essential characteristics of 21st century officers. The four-year academic experience leads to a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Army.

Physical development is achieved through a rigorous athletic and physical education program. Each cadet participates at the intercollegiate, club or intramural level each semester. This readies the cadet for the physical demands of military life and helps teach good judgment and self-discipline, even while under mental and physical stress.

Military development begins with the cadet’s first day at West Point. Most military training takes place during the summer, with

new cadets undergoing Cadet Basic Training, or Beast Barracks, their first year, followed the second summer by Cadet Field Training. Cadets spend their third and fourth summers serving in active Army units around the world; attending specialty training such as airborne, air assault or northern warfare or helping to train the 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.

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 fan-friendly 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. Thirtythree cadets have earned a major award from their conference, Last season, the senior class of 2015 set a high standard for future classes with a .556 winning percentage, marking the highest four-year percentage since the Class of 1995 finished with a .557 mark. In addition, Army West Point had another great year in the classroom with three cadet-athletes earning Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year in their respective sports.

Army West Point also partnered with Nike to complete a successful rebranding initiative in the spring of 2015. Corrigan ushered in a new logo and word mark for Army West Point as part of the rebrand.

In 2013-14, 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 201314 with an overall record of 235-173-7 for a .575 winning percentage, the highest mark since 2004-05.

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 201213.

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 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 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

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR showdown with arch-rival Navy. Not BOO 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 1520 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 199295.

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.

COACHING STAFF MIKE SMITH • HEAD COACH • SECOND SEASON • BUCKNELL ‘88 Mike Smith enters his second season as the Director of Track and Field/Cross Country at Army West Point. Smith became the 11th coach in program history last year when he joined the Black Knights after spending 20 years at Kansas State University.

In his first season with the Black Knights, Smith led both the men’s and women’s cross country teams to third place finishes in the Patriot League, as well as sending both teams to the NCAA Northeast Regional Championships where the men finished 11th and the women finished 14th. Three cadets finished in the top 50 (Tom Giradot (38th), Trevor Lafontaine (42nd), and Lindsay Gabow (43rd).

Smith’s early success continued into the spring with both the men’s and women’s track and field teams having good showings at the Patriot League Championships. The men finished second winning four events (3000m steeplechase, 800m, discus throw, and 4x400m relay) while the women finished third having their lone championship come in the hammer throw.

Smith, who has coached two Olympians and an NCAA champion, was a part of three Big 12 championship teams while at Kansas State. Smith joined the coaching staff at Kansas State in 1994 and took over the reins of the cross country programs in 2004. In his nine years leading the men’s and women’s cross country teams, he has guided four individuals (2004, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012) and one team (2010 women) to the NCAA championships, including five consecutive trips to the NCAA Cross Country Championship from 2008-12 where K-State was represented on the women’s side.

When he took control of the cross country program in 2004, Smith guided Matthew Chesang to one of the most prolific seasons in Kansas State history. Chesang finished third at the Big 12 championships, second at the Midwest Regional Championships and earned All-America honors at the NCAA championships. His 12th-place finish was the highest NCAA finish for a Kansas State runner since 1971.

In 2009, Smith coached Beverly Ramos to one of the best individual seasons in women’s cross country recent history. In addition to earning All-America recognition, Ramos tallied two wins and placed sixth at the Pre-NCAA Invitational, the Big 12 Championship and the NCAA Midwest Regional. She also led the Wildcats to a sixth-place team finish at the 2008 Big 12 Championship and ninth at the Midwest Regional.

As an assistant with the cross country programs, Smith helped Kansas State win the 1998 Big 12 title, earn three straight Midwest Regional titles and capture NCAA Championship finishes of 13th, 5th and 10th.

In his 20 years with the Wildcats, Smith has coached athletes to 22 AllAmerican awards, 16 conference championships, one NCAA title, two Olympic games and four International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) world championships.

Sonia Gaskin has been the most recent athlete to excel under Smith’s tutelage. Gaskin had a standout sophomore year that included first team All-American honors at the NCAA outdoor championships in the 800m (2:04.37) and 4x400m relay outdoors. She became the first Wildcat women’s runner since Korene Hinds in 2001 to earn first team in the 800m outdoors.

Smith also coached Christian Smith, a five-time All-American and 2006 NCAA Indoor Champion in the mile. A member of the 2008 United States Olympic team, Smith was third at the U.S. Olympic Trials with an 800m time of 1:45.47 and set a collegiate record in the 1000m (2:19.57) as well as school records in the 800m (1:44.86) and 1500m (3:38.10) outdoors.

He was the Big 12 1000m indoor champion in 2004, 2005 and 2006 and the Big 12 800m outdoor champion in 2006.

In addition to his coaching duties with the Wildcats, Smith has continued to coach Kansas State alumna Beverly Ramos. He helped her qualify for the past two IAAF World Outdoor Championships, the 2013 IAAF World Cross Country Championships as well as the 2012 London Olympics for Puerto Rico in the steeplechase. Ramos won two gold medals and a bronze medal at the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games setting meet records in the 5,000 meters and steeplechase. She is the Puerto Rican national record holder at every event from 1500m to 10,000m.

Smith has also served as an instructor for the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) specialist certification and USA Track & Field (USATF) Level II coaching education program in the endurance events.

Prior to joining the Wildcats staff in 1994, Smith spent two years coaching at Skyline High School in California and one season at the William Penn Charter High School in Philadelphia.

A native of Ridgefield, Conn., Smith graduated from Bucknell University in 1988 with a bachelor’s degree in animal behavior. He earned a master’s degree in geography from the State University of New York at Albany in 1989, and a master’s degree in Kinesiology from Kansas State in 1996.

COACHING STAFF BOJLARKA DAVIES • ASSISTANT COACH • FIRST SEASON • KANSAS STATE ‘13 Boglarka Davies enters her first year with the Army West Point staff after spending the previous two seasons with Kansas State. A former Wildcat All-American runner, she served as an assistant with her alma mater after spending a year as the volunteer assistant cross country coach.

The 2013 Kansas State alum was coached

by Mike Smith during his tenure with the Wildcats. Under Smith’s tutelage, Davies was a two-time All-American, a Big 12 Champion, and holds K-State school records on two relays and the indoor 800m (2:05.16).

“I recruited and coached Boglarka at Kansas State University where she was a multiple time All-American and a Big 12 champion on the track,” added Smith. “She knows what it takes to reach the highest levels of our sport and will do a great job of mentoring our young men and women as

they pursue excellence here at Army West Point. After she finished her eligibility at K-State, she was a volunteer assistant for me for two years and was then hired by the track and field program as a staff assistant.

She was a behind the scenes worker at K-State but will thrive here in a more involved role with both our men’s and women’s programs. We are lucky to have her here at Army West Point.”

During her time at K-State, Davies also earned numerous awards off the track. She was a two-time cross country Academic All-Big 12 First Team member in 2010 and 2011. Davies earned academic accolades for track as well, recognized by both the Big 12 (2011-First Team, 2010-Second Team) and the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) (2011-First Team).

Davies, a native of Veszprem, Hungary, was an 800m semifinalist at the 2006 World Junior Championships in Beijing. She completed her secondary school studies at Vetesi Albert Gymnasium where she won six Hungarian junior championships in the 800m and 1500m.

organizational skills, his desire to learn and his work ethic became evident as I recruited him to join us and I am confident that he will make a difference in our program.”

“Jacob came onto my radar last fall as I was discussing my move to Army West Point with some of my colleagues at the University of Nebraska,” said Director of Track and Field/Cross Country Mike Smith. “He was a tireless worker behind the scenes. His

McDougle has achieved numerous professional certifications, including USATF Level 1 Certification, USTFCCCA Endurance Specialist Certification and USTFCCCA Track and Field Technical Certification.

McDougle joined the Huskers after graduating from the University of New Hampshire in May 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology. As an athlete with the Wildcats, he was a nine-time America East Conference scorer in the 800 meters, 1,000 meters, 4x800 meters and 4x400 meters.

PATRIOT LEAGUE PRESEASON POLL CENTRAL VALLEY, PA. – The Army West Point men’s cross country team earned 130 points in the Patriot League Preseason Poll which tabbed the team second in the poll announced Friday.

The poll was voted on by the head coaches and sports information directors of each school, with each institution excluding itself from submission.

Reigning Patriot League champion and service academy rival Navy is slated in the number one spot in the poll with 162 points and received 18 of the 20 first-place votes.

“Navy is the defending champion and has the best team on paper in our conference,” said head coach Mike Smith. “I think they are clearly the team to beat.”

Army West Point, who earned 130 points in the poll, is followed by Boston University (124), Bucknell (118) and American (102) to wrap up the top-five. Bucknell, who finished last season as the runner-up, and American, who finished fifth in 2014, each received one first-place vote.

Lehigh (96), Holy Cross (66), Colgate (46), Lafayette (32), and Loyola (24) make up the second-half of the poll.

The Black Knights, who commissioned two of their top five runners from last season, will rely heavily on their top runner from 2014, senior captain Tom Girardot. The Franklin, Mich., native finished as Army West Point’s top runner in the final three meets of the 2014 season, including top-five finishes at the Navy meet and the Patriot League Championships. In addition, Army West Point returns junior Matt Bearden and senior Drew Beck, both of whom were part of the team’s top-five runners in 2014.

“We lost two of our top five to graduation, but return our number one runner,” said Smith. “I think (Girardot) will score in the single digits in most of our meets. Our depth however, is young and unproven. I will have a better idea of what kind of team we have when we start competing.”

Army West Point opens its season at the University of Maine Duals on September 5th.

Now in its third decade as an all-sport conference combining academic and athletic excellence, the Patriot League sponsors championships in 24 men and women’s sports. Initially started as an NCAA Division I-AA football conference in 1986, the Patriot League became an all-sport conference in 1990 and includes American, Army, Boston University, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh, Loyola and Navy as full members, and Fordham, Georgetown, MIT and Richmond as associate members. These institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation and their alumni have and continue to play leadership roles in shaping our country.

Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked first each year among all Division I conferences awarding athletic aid in the NCAA Graduation Rate Report. The League also had more than 93 percent of its teams score above the national APR average in the most recent data, and 92 Patriot League teams earned NCAA Academic Performance Program Public Recognition Awards after posting academic progress rate scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports.

The Patriot League’s mission is simple: to provide successful competitive athletic experiences while maintaining high academic standards, and to prepare its student-athletes to be leaders in society. During the 2013-14 academic year, Patriot League student-athletes and teams have accomplished the following: *The Patriot League ranked second among all conferences in multi-year APR rating, and led all leagues in men’s basketball APR. *81 Patriot League teams recorded perfect graduation success rates and 92 earned NCAA Public Recognition Awards for ranking in the top 10 percent of their sport in APR. *More than 93 percent of Patriot League teams scored above the national average in APR. *Patriot League teams won NCAA Tournament games in seven different sports, with American winning twice to advance to the Round of 16 in volleyball. *League squads also won NCAA first-round or regional contests in football (Fordham), men’s soccer (Navy), women’s soccer (Boston University), women’s lacrosse (Loyola), softball (Boston University) and baseball (Bucknell). *Navy won the overall Patriot League Presidents’ Cup for the second time in three years, while Army took first place on the men’s side and Boston University claimed the women’s title in its inaugural season. *Fifteen student-athletes earned Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America recognition, including first-team accolades for Fordham’s Brett Biestek (Football), Bucknell’s Joe Meyer (Men’s Soccer) and Navy’s Elizabeth Hoerner (Women’s Soccer). *Thirty-five student-athletes received Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-District recognition. *There were 2,450 student-athletes on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll in 2013-14, including 128 with a semester GPA of at least 4.0. *American women’s basketball standout Alexis Dobbs and Navy women’s soccer star Elizabeth Hoerner and women’s rowing student-athlete Katherine Ashton each earned NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships. Dobbs and Hoerner were later named the Patriot League’s nominees for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. *Fordham’s Brett Biestek earned a Postgraduate Scholarship from the FCS Athletic Directors Association. *Loyola’s Joe Fletcher (Men’s Lacrosse) and Boston University’s Allison Barwise (Track and Field) were named the Patriot League Male and Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year recipients, respectively. *The Patriot League Sportsmanship Awards went to a pair of basketball student-athletes in American’s Darius Gardner on the men’s side and Army’s Krishawn Tillett for the women. *Lafayette’s Alec Golini (Men’s Soccer) and Lehigh’s Brooke Astor (Women’s Track and Field) earned the Patriot League Outstanding Leadership and Character Awards for their excellence in leadership and service. *Four Patriot Leaguers were named Senior CLASS Award finalists, including three in men’s lacrosse. *Loyola’s Joe Fletcher was one of five finalists for the Tewaaraton Award given to the top player in men’s lacrosse, and also earned the William C. Schmeisser Outstanding Defensive Player Award from the USILA. *Fordham’s Mike Nebrich placed fifth in the voting for the Walter Payton Award as the top FCS player. *Twenty-four Patriot Leaguers were named first, second or third-team All-Americans in team sports, including six in football, five in men’s lacrosse, four in women’s lacrosse and three in men’s soccer. *Loyola spent the majority of the season as the No. 1-ranked team in the men’s lacrosse national polls. *Fordham football and Loyola men and women’s lacrosse each finished in the top 10 of national polls, while Navy men’s soccer and American volleyball and field hockey each placed in the top 25 of their sport’s final national rankings. *Navy’s Jay Stell placed third in the javelin at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, matching the best-ever finish for a Patriot League male and earning first-team All-America honors. *Boston University’s Allison Barwise, Rich Peters and Rosa Moriello also competed at the NCAA Outdoor Championships and earned All-America recognition, with Barwise receiving first-team status by placing sixth in the high jump for the best NCAA finish by a Patriot League female since 1993. *Peters and his BU teammate, Monica Adler, both recorded top-10 finishes in the mile at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships to earn All-America recognition. *Navy’s Tom Duvall came in the top 10 in the 500 freestyle at the NCAA Men’s Swimming Championship to earn All-America honors, and was one of four Patriot Leaguers to compete in an individual event at either the NCAA Men or Women’s Championship. *Lehigh’s Tyler Mueller and Loyola’s Kiera Harrison ran in the NCAA Cross Country Championships. *Bucknell’s Katelyn Miller was selected as the IWLCA Division I Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
