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 ics event each spring.

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.

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.

“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.

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

“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.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR BOO CORRIGAN DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS 4TH YEAR // NOTRE DAME, 1990 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 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. 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 percent-

age. 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 firstteam 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 201112 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 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 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.

NCAA CA AA QUALIFIER 11 CONSECUTIVE CON YEARS (2004-2014) * 2005 NCAA CHAMPIONS

TRONSRUE MARKSMANSHIP CENter Army’s athleƟc program has been signiĮcantly enhanced by several state-of-the-art faciliƟes beneĮƟng numerous Black Knight athletes. The construcƟon and improvement of faciliƟes on the West Point campus has had a posiƟve impact on Army’s 28 intercollegiate sports. The prominent rise of the riŇe team as one the top programs in the naƟon, capturing its Įrst NCAA Ɵtle in 2005, followed by third in 2006, runnerup-honors in 2007 and 2008, fourth place in 2012 and sixth in 2013, is due partly to Tronsrue Marksmanship Center. Completed in January 2000, the range underwent major reconstrucƟon aŌer a porƟon of the facility was destroyed by Įre in 1996. The indoor marksmanship center, located next to Gillis Field House along the banks of the Hudson, is equipped with three ranges to include housing the club pistol team. The riŇe range has 20 Įring points, six more than the former range, with distances of 10 meters for air riŇe and 50 feet for smallbore. The air riŇe range, used exclusively for air gun training and compeƟƟon, also has 20 Įring points and is shared by both the riŇe and pistol teams. Army acquired 40 (20 smallbore, 20 air riŇe) state-of-the-art electronic targets by MEGAlink in November of 2006 to put Tronsrue on the cuƫng edge of technology. Tronsrue Marksmanship Center was unveiled on a naƟonal stage when Army hosted the 2003 NCAA Men’s and Women’s RiŇe Championships, marking the naƟonal championship’s Įrst appearance at West Point since 1991. Five years later the Black Knights hosted the 2008 NCAA Championships, the ĮŌh Ɵme in the NCAA’s 29-year riŇe history that West Point was chosen as the host site. Army Įrst hosted the tournament in 1981, the second year that the riŇe championships came under the NCAA’s auspices. The Black Knights hosted the championship four years later, Įnishing ĮŌh in puƫng the Įnishing touches on an 11-2 season. The NCAA Championships returned to West Point in 1991, and the Black Knights took sixth in air riŇe. Army was host again in 2003 and 2008, Įnishing runner-up in the laƩer. Tronsrue took center stage again in 2004 when it hosted the Great America RiŇe Championships with the Black Knights placing second. Funding for the reconstrucƟon and renovaƟon of the range was included in West Point’s Bicentennial Campaign plan as part of its “Margin of Excellence” iniƟaƟve. Government funds were uƟlized along with private funds. The lead donors for the project were George Marion Tronsrue III (USMA ’78) and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Petrie (USMA ’67). On April 13, 2002, the center was dedicated to honor the American soldier and Tronsrue’s father (George Marion Tronsrue, USMA ’52), a fouryear member of the Army riŇe team. “Tronsrue is the largest collegiate riŇe facility in the country,” stated Wigger, the beneĮciary of the state-of-the-art facility. “It already has had an immense impact on recruiƟng. Bringing a prospecƟve candidate into this facility is paramount to a football recruit viewing Michigan’s Stadium

HEAD COACH RON WIGGER RON WIGGER Eastern Kentucky ‘83

15th Season 110-48 Army’s riŇe program has prospered under the leadership of U.S. Army ReiƟred Maj. Ron Wigger, a two-Ɵme NaƟonal Coach of the Year selecƟon, since he took over the reins 14 years ago. Ranked among the winningest coaches in school history, he became just the third to record 100 wins in school history in a road win at Nebraska on Feb. 2, 2013. Wigger has led Army to four top-three Įnishes at the NCAA Championships. That run included the naƟonal Ɵtle (2005), back-to-back runnerup Įnishes (2007 & 2008) along with a bronze (2006). Earning its 11th consecuƟve bid to the NCAAs in 2014, Army has been among the top eight qualiĮers since 2004. The Black Knights captured the NCAA smallbore Ɵtle in 2008, along with crowning an individual champion for the Įrst Ɵme in school history. Army Įnished second in smallbore, both team and individual at the 2012 championships. Wigger started rewriƟng Army’s record book soon aŌer taking over the program. The Black Knights earned a team berth to the NCAA Championships in air riŇe by his second year (200102). Army qualiĮed in both disciplines in 2004, then put West Point on the map the following year winning its Įrst-ever NCAA Ɵtle. The Black Knights won by the closest margin in NCAA history, edging Jacksonville State by a single point for the crown, along with dethroning perennial powerhouse and six-Ɵme defending champion Alaska Fairbanks. Not only was it Army’s Įrst naƟonal Ɵtle in riŇe history, but the Įrst since pistol captured the NRA crown in 1991. It was also the Įrst NCAA Ɵtle by any Army varsity program since 1949 (fencing). The Black Knights started their 2004-05 “Cinderella” season winning eight straight matches that included a perfect 6-0 Great America RiŇe Conference (GARC) mark en route to capturing their Įrst regular-season Ɵtle. Army placed runner-up at the conference championships for the second straight year. Honors conƟnued to roll in for the team that etched its name into the history annals as a schoolrecord Įve riŇemen earned All-America accolades by the NaƟonal RiŇe AssociaƟon (NRA), and Wigger repeated as the naƟonal and GARC Coach of the Year. It was Wigger’s third GARC coaching honor over a four-year span.

The 2005-06 campaign was capped with Army Įnishing among the top four at the NCAAs for the third straight year aŌer capturing the bronze trophy. Army’s 9-2 season mark was its highest win total (broken the following year) since a 13-3 showing in 1998-99. Included in its season highlights was snapping Navy’s 12-match series win streak, a secondplace Įnish at the GARC

smallbore. One of the Įnest coaches in the history of the program, Wigger has developed 20 Įrst-team, 21 second-team and six honorable menƟon All-Americans, who have combined for 47 cerƟĮcates.Kim Pienkowski was a Įrst-team AllAmerica selecƟon in air riŇe Wigger’s inaugural year, becoming the Įrst Black Knight named to that unit since 1991. A three-Ɵme honoree under Wigger, she was an honorable menƟon selecƟon in both disciplines her senior year. Chris Abalo made history in 2005 as the Įrst Army plebe selected an All-American in both guns and just the second Black Knight to accomplish that feat. He repeated the next three years, seƫng a school record with eight Įrst team All-America cerƟĮcates. The most decorated shooter in school history, Abalo excelled both naƟonally and internaƟonally. In 2008 he captured Army’s Įrst NCAA individual Ɵtle (smallbore), set a naƟonal smallbore prone record and NCAA smallbore mark, and competed with the USA Team at the World Cup. He is also the Įrst riŇeman to earn the Army AthleƟc AssociaƟon award. Twice he was voted the NCAA Shooter of the Match and was a three-Ɵme GARC Shooter of the Year. Wigger also coached an Olympian in Stephen Scherer, who competed at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing . At the 2012 NCAA Championships, MaƩhews Įnished second in smallbore in leading the Black Knights to runner-up honors in that discipline and second highest Įnish at the naƟonal meet. Three Black Knights earned All-America honors and Wigger was among four CRCA nominees for Coach of the Year. Two-Ɵme team captain Paul Charbonneau, a four-year member of Wigger’s Įrst class, was a four-Ɵme All-American. David Amiot and Brian Kern joined Abalo and Scherer in garnering AllAmerica cerƟĮcates in 2008. In another Army Įrst, Abalo and Wesley Hess competed at the World Junior ShooƟng Championships in the spring of 2006, with Abalo seƫng the pace for Team USA in two of the three events in which he qualiĮed. Wigger has enjoyed an equally prosperous showing in the GARC where Army crowned eight individual champions, three shooter of the year cerƟĮcates (Abalo) and a pair of rookie citaƟons (Abalo and Scherer). Army captured the GARC smallbore Ɵtle in 2012 along with crowning an individual champion in AllAmerican Kelly Buck. The Black Knights took third at the 2011 GARC Championship with a young team following backto-back ĮŌh-place Įnishes in 2009 and 2010. Army put the Įnishing touches on its 2012-13 season beaƟng Navy for the fourth straight year

WIGGER HAS MENTORED I5 NRA ALLAMERICANS WHO HAVE EARNED 47 CERTIFICATES (20 FIRST TEAM, 21 SECOND TEAM AND SIX HONORABLE MENTIONS) Championships followed by the Black Knights’ third straight trip to the NCAA Championships. The team concluded the season with a visit to the White House in April 2006 where Army (based on its 2005 Ɵtle) was among a dozen NCAA championship teams that met with the President during a special ceremony in the Rose Garden. Five Black Knights were selected by the NRA for All-America honors, equaling the school mark set the previous year, en route to earning seven cerƟĮcates. Army Įnished runner-up at the NCAAs in 2007 and 2008 with Įve and four Black Knights receiving All-America cerƟĮcates, respecƟvely. In 2008, Wigger’s sharpshooters won the team’s Įrst GARC Championship. Army posted a 10-2 dual mark in 2007 and beƩered that in 2008 in a 10-1 showing. Prior to winning its Įrst NCAA Ɵtle in 2005, Wigger guided the Black Knights to a fourth-place Įnish at the 2004 championships aŌer meeƟng the qualifying standards in both disciplines for the Įrst Ɵme since 1987. Wigger concluded his second year at the helm by leading Army’s air riŇe team to a berth at the 2002 NCAA Tournament and a ĮŌh-place Įnish in that discipline aŌer edging Navy by a point. It was the Įrst Ɵme that the Black Knights, who were reinstated to the varsity ranks in 1997-98 following a three-year hiatus, qualiĮed since 1992. Since taking over the program in the fall of 2000, Wigger had a school record Įve earn All-America cerƟĮcates in 2005, 2006 and 2007.

2014-15 OUTLOOK Young but talented would be an accurate way to describe Army’s 2014-15 riŇe squad that returns three members of last year’s conƟngent that parƟcipated at the 2014 NCAA Championships. It will be the Įrst Ɵme since 2003-04 that the Black Knights do not have a senior on the squad. Junior team captain Alyssa Gestl, a two-Ɵme NCAA parƟcipant and among Army’s top returnees in air riŇe, will provide the leadership on a squad dominated by underclassmen. Gestl and classmate Olivia Nardone, also a 2014 NCAA parƟcipant, are the lone upperclassmen on Army’s 12man squad dominated by underclassmen to include four sophomores and six freshmen. GraduaƟon claimed three NaƟonal RiŇe Associaiton (NRA) All-Americans, who ranked among Army’s top smallbore and air riŇe shooters throughout their four-year careesr. Army was solid on paper last year, but the season proved a disappoinƟng one as coach Ron Wigger felt that his team underachieved. Wigger, the second winningest coach in school history with 110 victories and the architect of Army’s run of 11-straight NCAA berths, heads into his 15th season with a simple message for his team – overachieve. “In spite of our youth, we have a strong nucleus and the team chemistry is very good,” noted Wigger. “It is hard to predict what we are going to accomplish because of so many unknowns. That doesn’t mean we can’t reach the NCAAs for the 12th straight year. If we want it and work hard enough, it is a realisƟc goal for us. “Other programs will look at Army as young and inexperienced,” added Wigger. “They will perceive us to be at a lower level than we have been in the past. But we have total control and can either let the inexperience be a negaƟve or we could make it a posiƟve.” Among the posiƟves is this year’s plebe (freshman) class where Wigger can see desire and work ethic as well as the yearlings (sophomore), who he feels have the aspiraƟon to improve. In addiƟon to the return of Gestl and Nardone, Wigger looks to sophomores Daniele Cuomo, Allen Solida and Marvin Lewis. Cuomo joined Gestl and Nardone at last year’s NCAAs for Army’s largest conƟngent of women (three), while Solida and Marvin turned in top scores in both disciplines. Gestl recorded Army’s top score in air riŇe (586) at the NCAAs Championships, where she placed 21st, and was the Black Knights’ second highest scorer at the Great America RiŇe Conference (GARC) Championships with a 590 in tying for 11th place. Nardone’s early season success quickly earned her a spot on Army’s Įring unit where she set career marks in both disciplines. She earned medalist honors in air riŇe at the NCAA QualiĮer behind a career 592 in tying for the team’s third highest score of the season. In her Įrst trip to the NCAAs, Nardone recorded Army’s second highest air riŇe score (584). Solida worked his way into Army’s counƟng unit in both guns early in the season and posted a career high 588 in air riŇe and shot a 581 mark twice in smallbore. Lewis, who earned a spot on the team as a walk-on last year, earned medalist honors in air riŇe with a 588 in the Coast Guard victory and Įred a 586 two meets later helping Army recapture the President’s Trophy Match. “There are no All-Americans in that group, but I expect progress from each one of them who had moments last year when they performed at a high level,” said Wigger. “There is a lot of potenƟal in that group, but they need to be more consistent.” Rounding out the sophomore class is Elizabeth Mostert who came on strong last year in the second half of the season drawing duty in both disciplines. She Įred a career 586 air riŇe score against GARC rival Nebraska.

Among the newcomers, Wigger has high expectaƟons for Josh MarƟn who has a strong background and could make an immediate contribuƟon in smallbore and potenƟally in air riŇe. MarƟn, who has a plethora of naƟonal honors, was runner-up in the Įnals and sixth overall in three-posiƟon smallbore at the 2014 NaƟonal Junior Olympics Championships. Alex Gestl, the younger brother of Alyssa, competed with MarƟn as a member of the Palmyra Junior RiŇe Team. He has the potenƟal to contribute in smallbore immediately in smallbore having been crowned the Intermediate Junior Olympic champion in that discipline. Lucas Andrews, Ethan Cook, Michael Garner and Sarah Nakata have impressive credenƟals in rounding out a talented freshmen class. Army’s schedule is once again a daunƟng one as the Black Knights take on Įve teams that competed at the NCAAs last year to include fellow GARC members West Virginia, Kentucky and Nebraska. The Mountaineers are the defending NCAA and GARC champions, the Wildcats were runner-up at both and the Huskers Įnished ĮŌh at the NCAAs and third at the conference championships. The Black Knights were fourth in the GARC and Įnished eighth at the NCAAs. “I expect West Virginia and Kentucky to be a challenge in our conference as both programs recruit very well, but I don’t see them as strong as they have been the past few years,” assessed Wigger. “It could open opportuniƟes for teams in the conference to sneak up on them, but they are sƟll the favorites. “Our success depends on how the sophomore and juniors take it up another notch and we will have to wait for a couple of compeƟƟons to see how the plebes respond. I feel good about everyone's eīort and their desire to overachieve. In the preseason coaches' poll, West Virginia, Alaska (this year’s NCAA host), Kentucky and Nebraska were the top four selecƟons among the 20 teams rank with Army picked ninth. Army was young in 2003-04 when a seniorless team Įnished runner-up at the GARC Championships and fourth at the NCAAs. Team captain Alyssa Gestl has high expectaƟons along with her coach, for Army to have that same kind of success in 2014-15.

2013-14 IN REVIEW Army Earns 11th Straight NCAA Bid Army’s sixth-ranked riŇe team put the Įnishing touches on the season with a trip to the NCAA Championships, its 11th straight, hosted by Murray State at the Pat Spurgin RiŇe Range and CFSB Center, in Murray, Ky. Among the teams Army competed against were 2013 champion and No. 1 ranked West Virginia, along with the 2012 and 2011 champions, TCU and Kentucky, respecƟvely. Alaska Fairbanks, Jacksonville State, Memphis and Nebraska rounded out the rest of the eight-team Įeld. Army headed to the meet with a team consisƟng of two upperclassmen and three underclassmen. Seniors Michael MaƩhews and Joseph Todaro earned their fourth and third consecuƟve trips, respecƟvely, to the NCAAs with sophomore Alyssa Gestl her second straight appearance. Sophomore Olivia Nardone and freshman Danielle Cuomo competed for the Įrst Ɵme and wrote their names, along with Gestl, into Army’s history annals as the largest Black Knight female counters at the NCAAs. MaƩhews and Todaro Įnished 15th and 17th, respecƟvely, among a Įeld of 44 shooters in the smallbore compeƟƟon the Įrst day at the NCAAs. Matthews’ 35 center shots Ɵed for fourth among the compeƟtors posƟng a 580 in the relay scoring with Todaro also Įring a 580 with 31 center shots. Gestl led Army the next day in air riŇe with a 586 to Įnish 21st with Nardone close behind with a 584 followed by Todaro and MaƩhews posƟng 583s. Todaro, MaƩhews and Richard Calvin repeated as NRA All-Americans. It was the third straight year for Todaro and MaƩhews and second for Calvin. Todaro earned Įrst-team honors in smallbore and was an honorable menƟon ion the inaugural Lapua CRA All-American Team. MaƩhews (smallbore) and Calvin (air riŇe) were named to the NRA all-American second unit. MaƩhews, ranked among Army’s leading smallbore scorers throughout his career, joined classmate Todaro, who Įred the top score this season, as the pace seƩers for the team. Todaro recorded a career and team-best smallbore score of 586 in a meet against Ohio State followed by a 585 against West Virginia, with Matthews’ top two marks a 585 (vs. Murray State) and 584 recorded twice. Matthews’ career-high 589 was Įred at the NCAAs in 2012 and duplicated in 2013. MaƩhews’ career best in air riŇe is a 592 with Todaro’s mark of 591 was recorded this season. Army’s strength has been air riŇe and four of its team members Įred in the 590 range. Nardone led the Black Knight conƟngent with a 592 in a triangular sweep at the NCAA QualiĮer in earning medalist honors for the Įrst Ɵme. Calvin was Army’s top scorer in air riŇe at the GARC Championships with a 5903 and Gestl and Cuomo followed with career marks of 590 and 587, respecƟvely. The Great America RiŇe Conference (GARC), which Army is a member of, is well represented at the NCAAs with over half the berths held by its members led by defending NCAA champion No. 1 West Virginia, along with No. 2 Kentucky, No. 4 Nebraska, No. 6 Army and No. 8 Memphis. West Virginia captured its ĮŌh straight GARC Championship in its last ouƟng with Kentucky earning the silver followed by third-place Nebraska and fourth-place Army in rounding out the top half of the nine-team Įeld. “You build all season towards the NCAA Championships,” noted Army head coach Ron Wigger, who has been the architect of Army’s success. “Obviously you have to qualify which is a major accomplishment any year. That we have been able to do it eleven years in a row says a lot about our cadets who have come through the program and maintained that consistency. “Our goal all season was to perform at our highest level and peak at the NCAA Championships and give our best performance possible. I don’t want to go in there thinking we are going to Įnish in a certain place, we just want to go out and put up our best performance; the outcome takes care of itself.”

Four of Army’s Įve dual losses this season were conference matches against the Mountaineers, Wildcats, Cornhuskers and the Tigers, and the tough compeƟƟon resulted in top team and individual scores for the Black Knights. Army’s high air riŇe score of 2356 was just one point shy of the school record set in 2013.

GARC/2014 RESULTS The Great America RiŇe Conference (GARC) welcomed Navy into the fold in 2012-13 and Akron last year bringing the league to nine teams in joiing Army, Kentucky, Memphis, Mississippi, Nebraska, West Virginia and North Carolina State. The GARC has been hailed as the toughest conferences in the country. Army head coach Ron Wigger knew that the future of the Black Knights’ program would be enhanced and strengthened when he opted to join the GARC 13 years ago. Not only is it a conference that excels at the range, but in the classroom as well. Army captured the NaƟonal Collegiate RiŇe Championship Ɵtle in 2005, and though it was the Black Knights’ Įrst-ever, it was the 19th Ɵme that a member of the GARC claimed that honor. 2013 NCAA champion West Virginia has captured 15 Ɵtles and has been runner-up seven Ɵmes. Kentucky captured its Įrst NCAA Ɵtle in 2011 and runner-up honors six Ɵmes to include 2012 and 2013. The GARC, which began in 1998, has been well represented at the NCAA Championships the last few years with a naƟonal champion in Army (2005), West Virginia (2009, 2013) and Kentucky (2011), along with 10 runner-ups and a pair of third-place Įnishes. At the 2005 NCAA Championships, Army captured the Ɵtle with a 4659 composite, two points higher than third-place Nebraska with Kentucky grabbing the Įnal spot in the six-team Įeld. The Huskers were second at the 2006 NCAA Championships followed by third-place Army with Mississippi and Kentucky Įnishing sixth and seventh, respecƟvely. The Black Knights were runner-up in 2007 with GARC champion Kentucky Įnishing fourth. Army won the silver again in 2008 with the Cornhuskers, Wildcats and Mountaineers sweeping the fourth through six spots, respecƟvely. West Virginia captured the NCAA Ɵtle in 2013 with Kentucky taking runner-up honors for the second straight year with Army placing sixth and Nebraska seventh. In 2009, the Mountaineers captured the Ɵtle and led a GARC sweep of the third through sixth spots in 2010 with West Virginia third followed by the Wildcats (fourth), Army (ĮŌh) and Nebraska (sixth). Kentucky captured the crown in 2011 and West Virginia was second with Army placing eighth, while the Wildcats were runner-up in 2012 with the Black Knights Įnishing fourth. Army quickly solidiĮed its posiƟon in the GARC, Įnishing fourth at the championships its Įrst year (2001-02) along with runner-up honors four straight seasons before laying claim to its Įrst Ɵtle in 2008. The Black Knights Įnished third in 2011 behind West Virginia and Kentucky, and captured the smallbore Ɵtle in 2012. Army claimed the regular-season Ɵtle in 2005 and 2008. Army has earned 61 all-league cerƟĮcates, 20 honorable menƟons, crowned eight champions and garnered eight major awards with Wigger tabbed for coaching citaƟons in 2002, 2004 and 2005.

The Army Athletic Association debuted the Army Sports Hall of Fame in 2004, inducting the charter class into its own shrine of top athletic achievements. The purpose of the Army Sports Hall of Fame, located within the Kenna Hall of Army Sports, is to honor the athletes, coaches, teams, administrators and others who have brought distinction to Army athletics over its many years of existence. Eligible candidates include former athletes, athletic teams, coaches, administrators, support staff or any other individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the long history of athletics at the United States Military Academy. Most importantly, these individuals, in addition to specific criteria, must have been of high moral character and must have upheld the values of “Duty, Honor, Country.” The Army Athletic Association inducted its charter class into the Army Sports Hall of Fame at a “black-tie” banquet at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City on Oct. 1, 2004. This year, Army sharpshooter Chris Abalo (USMA ‘08) will be ARMY SPORTS HALL OF FAME - CHRIS ABALO enshrined in the Army Sports Hall of Fame as the most decorated shooter in academy history.

NCAA CA AA QUALIFIER 11 CONSECUTIVE CON YEARS (2004-2014) * 2005 NCAA CHAMPIONS

history RiŇe has enjoyed a long and disƟnguished 83-year history at West Point since tesƟng its meƩle in 1919 when it outshot Pennsylvania 940-849 in the lone match of the season. By the Ɵme the NCAA began sponsoring collegiate riŇe in 1979-80, the sport had been in place at the U.S. Military Academy for 58 years, never had a losing record, and posted 15 undefeated seasons, while suīering no more than two losses on 31 occasions. The rich tradiƟon of the sport conƟnues today under present coach Ron Wigger, who rewrote the history annals aŌer leading Army to its Įrst NCAA RiŇe Championship in school history following a one-point edging of Jacksonville State for the 2005 crown. It also proved to be the closest Ɵtle match in NCAA history. Army, placing fourth in 2004, was third in 2006, followed by a pair of runnerup Įnishes in 2007 and 2008. Following its inaugural season in 1919 under Capt. P.W. Newgarden, Army returned to the varsity ranks from 1923 through 1936. During that span, riŇe registered seven undefeated seasons along with a school-record 12 wins compeƟng outdoors in 1925. The Black Knights turned in an excepƟonal eīort during the 1933 season, registering a 6-1 record indoors and unblemished 5-0 mark during the spring outdoor campaign. The sport was disconƟnued for the 1937 and 1938 seasons before returning to the range in 1939, which was also the inaugural year of the Army-Navy rivalry. The Mids edged Army the Įrst two years of the series, but the Black Knights erased that early start by winning 11 of the next 13 matches, including a run of six straight, in pulling out to an 11-4 lead in the rivalry. AŌer Navy claimed the next three matches, the Black Knights strung together a pair of 5-0 runs during a 14-4 stretch to pull out to a commanding 25-11 advantage that helped carry Army through some rough Ɵmes. Navy dominated the series from the 1990s into the new millennium before Army snapped loose from a 12-match losing streak on Mid soil in the Black Knights’ regular-season Įnale in 2006. Army has won the last three matches to hold a 37-30 lead. Army ushered in the decades of the ‘40s with a 43-4 record over a Įve-year span, including three unbeaten seasons (1941, 1942 and 1944). Overall, the sharpshooters registered an 84-10 mark, including a school- record 13 wins during the 1946 campaign. The Black Knights beƩered their win total in the decade of the ‘50s, compiling 100 wins along with breaking the school victory total aŌer going undefeated with a 16-0 showing in 1957-58, followed by unbeaten marks in 1958-59 (15-0) and 1959-60 (8-0) under Master Sgt. O.L. Gallman, the Įrst coach to reach the 100-win plateau during his nine-year tenure (1955-63). Army was dominant in the 1960s, compiling 91 wins along with a 12-0 mark and a Įrst-place Įnish at the NRA SecƟonals in 1966-67. The 1970s were the most proliĮc in school history as Army compiled 102 wins, with the 1977-78 squad registering a school-record 18-0 mark under Master Sgt. Ken Hamill. Included among the wins were victories over the Coast Guard, the Royal Military College of Canada, Navy and Ohio State along with a Įrst-place Įnish at the NRA SecƟonals. Two years later (1980), the NCAA sponsored its Įrst riŇe championships, and Army Įnished among the leaders as it Ɵed for seventh place that inaugural year. West Point took center stage the following year as host for the NCAA RiŇe

The 2005 team captured the Àrst NCAA title in school history

Championships with freshman David Cannella, who would go on to become one of the Įnest shooters in school history, helping Army to a sixth-place Įnish. The Black Knights qualiĮed all four years for the NCAA tournament during Cannella’s tenure, during which Ɵme he earned eight All-America accolades to include Įve Įrst-team cerƟĮcates. The Black Knights found themselves part of the NCAA Įeld the Įrst 12 years, Įnishing as high as third in 1986. Army was runner-up in smallbore and fourth in air, while three shooters were accorded All-America honors that year. Rhonda Barush placed ninth in smallbore at the NCAAs and Gordon Taras was 15th as both garnered All-America accolades. Barush closed out her career as a ĮveƟme All-American aŌer making that list all four years, while Taras went on to become a six-Ɵme All-American. Army competed in the MAC (Mid-AtlanƟc and Metropolitan Championships) in the mid ‘80s, winning the Ɵtle over a three-year period (1987-89) during which Ɵme Randy Powell, an eight-Ɵme All-American, helped write the headlines. RiŇe was disconƟnued at the intercollegiate ranks in the mid-90s, compeƟng the next three years at the club level before returning to varsity status in 199798. Capt. Doug Clark, an Air Force exchange oĸcer, took over the program’s head reins when it returned to the intercollegiate ranks. Army compiled a 17-7 mark its Įrst year back, but was not eligible to compete at the NCAA Championships unƟl the following season. The Black Knights posted a 13-1 mark Clark’s second year and hosted the Mid-AtlanƟc Championships, where they Įnished Įrst in smallbore and third in the aggregate scoring. Clark led Army to a 35-14 record during his three-year tenure, capped in 2000 when plebe Kim Pienkowski was accorded honorable menƟon NRA All-America honors in air riŇe. Three members of the squad, Ben Minchhoī, Pienkowski and Joy Monson, qualiĮed for the Įnal tryouts for the 2000 U.S. Olympic Team. Wigger took over the program the following year and met with instant success as Army’s lone loss in a 7-1 campaign was to Navy. Pienkowski qualiĮed individually for the NCAAs in air riŇe, where she Įnished 12th in her Įrst appearance. She was selected for Įrst team NRA All-America honors in air riŇe, the Įrst Black Knight named to that unit since Cannella in 1984. Army joined the Great America RiŇe Conference, considered one of the top leagues in the country, in 2001-02. Wigger was voted “Coach of the Year” aŌer leading Army to a fourth-place Įnish its inaugural season. The Black Knights then put the Įnishing touches on the 2002 campaign by qualifying for the NCAA Tournament in air riŇe, their Įrst visit as a team since 1991, where they edged Navy by a point for ĮŌh place. Jared LosteƩer, who Įnished ninth at the NCAAs aŌer qualifying individually in air riŇe, teamed with Paul Charbonneau, Pienkowski and Jesus Tavaras as that foursome combined for a 1541. LosteƩer was selected a second team All-American in air riŇe, and Pienkowski was named to the All-Academic team. The Black Knights, who hosted the 2003 NCAA Tournament, did very liƩle traveling that year as the top teams in the country doƩed Army’s home schedule. Army, however, failed to qualify for the NCAAs, but two members of the squad were accorded All-America honors. Pienkowski was tabbed an honorable menƟon in both smallbore and air riŇe, while Charbonneau was selected to the second unit in smallbore, the Įrst Black Knight named in that discipline since 1992. Charbonneau, a GARC second team all-star pick in smallbore and the aggregate scoring, took medalist honors in smallbore at the 2003 championships, breaking his own school mark with an 1177. The 2003-04 season was another banner year as the Black Knights Įnished fourth in the team scoring at the NCAAs aŌer qualifying for the Įrst Ɵme in both events since 1987. It was also Army’s best showing since placing third in 1986. Army posted its highest score of the season in both smallbore and aggregate en route to placing fourth. Wigger, along with Navy’s coach Bill Kelley, was selected as “Co-Coach of the Year” by the Collegiate RiŇe Coaches AssociaƟon. It was the second honor for Wigger that season, having been selected for that same accolade by the GARC. Charbonneau, who was eighth individually in air riŇe at the NCAAs, capped the season with a pair of All-America cerƟĮcates in air riŇe and smallbore. He was also named to the Collegiate RiŇe Coaches AssociaƟon All-Collegiate team. The Black Knights were runner-up that year at the GARC Championships, their highest showing since joining the league. The combinaƟon of the experience returning and the talent of the newcomers would prove a perfect Įt for Army’s magical ride in 2004-05. The Black Knights captured the GARC regular-season Ɵtle with a perfect 6-0 mark, while posƟng an 8-2 dual record. AŌer posƟng the third-highest score in the country at the

HISTORY NCAA QualiĮer, Army fell by four points to arch-rival Navy in its Įnal dual match. Army walked oī with a majority of the GARC awards, claiming 15 of 30 all-star cerƟĮcates along with copping two of the major awards with freshman sensaƟon Chris Abalo named the “Rookie of the Year” and Wigger repeaƟng as “Coach of the Year.” The Black Knights Įnished second at the conference championships and Abalo earned medalist honors in smallbore and the aggregate scoring. The next stop was the NCAA Championships where Army found itself in second place the opening day, trailing defending champion Alaska Fairbanks by six points following the smallbore compeƟƟon. Army scored a 2321 in air riŇe the Įnal day to nip Jacksonville State, Įrst in that discipline, by a point for the 2005 NCAA Ɵtle. Just three points separated the top four place winners. Abalo Įnished fourth in both events and Leinberger was seventh in air riŇe, while Wigger repeated as NaƟonal “Coach of the Year.” Five Black Knights combined for a school-record seven All-America cerƟĮcates with Abalo garnering Įrst team honors and Mike Jablonski second team plaudits in both events. HighlighƟng the 2005-06 dual meet season was Army’s Įrst win over Navy since 1990, snapping the Mids’ 12-match series win streak, en route to posƟng a 9-2 mark. Army also wrestled the President’s Trophy Match from Navy. Named the GARC “Shooter of the Year”, Abalo led Army to runner-up honors at the conference championships. The Black Knights put the Įnal touches on the campaign by earning the bronze at the NCAA Championships. Five Black Knights were selected for NRA All-America honors with Abalo repeaƟng as a Įrs- team pick in both events, while John Fiddes also garnered a pair of cerƟĮcates. Abalo was crowned an NRA NaƟonal Collegiate champion in smallbore and air riŇe based on his performance at the NRA SecƟonals, which coincided with the NCAA QualiĮer. The 2006-07 season saw Army defeat Navy for the second straight year along with recording its Įrst win over the Midshipmen at West Point since 1985, en route to a 10-2 mark - its highest total since 1998-99. The Black Knights were runner-up at the NCAA and GARC Championships. Abalo repeated as the GARC’s top shooter along with being named the CRCA “Shooter of the Match” at the NCAAs where he Įnished third in air riŇe and fourth in smallbore. In 2007-08, Abalo led the Black Knights to their Įrst-ever GARC Championship, runner-up honors at the NCAAs and Įrst-ever team Ɵtle in smallbore, along with winning the Palmyra Tournament. Army closed out the year with a 10-1 mark that included its third straight win over Navy. The most decorated shooter in school history, Abalo was the GARC’s “Shooter of the Match” for the third straight year, captured the NCAA smallbore Ɵtle, set a naƟonal smallbore prone record and NCAA smallbore record, and repeated as a Įrst team All-American in both events. Stephen Scherer became just the third Cadet in West Point history to compete at the Olympic Games (Beijing) aŌer Įnishing Įrst at the Trials in air riŇe. The GARC “Rookie of the Year,” he Įnished third in smallbore and ĮŌh in air riŇe at the NCAAs along with earning Įrst team All-America honors. Caught in a rebuilding year in 2008-09, Army turned in a strong showing at the NCAA Championships with a sixth-place Įnish. Team captain Wesley Hess and freshman Kelly Buck Įnished fourth individually in air riŇe and smallbore, respecƟvely. Hess was named the Great America Conference’s “Senior of the Year,” repeated as a Įrst team GARC all-star in air riŇe along with earning honorable menƟon in the combined scoring. He capped his senior year with Įrst team NRA All-America honors in air riŇe for the second Ɵme in his career. A young Army put together a strong showing late in 2009-10 to conƟnue the Black Knights’ long tradiƟon of qualifying for the NCAA tournament with its seventh straight berth. The team captured the President’s Trophy Match and posted a win over Navy in Annapolis, Md., in highlighƟng the second half of the season en route to a 7-4 mark. The Black Knights headed to the NCAA championships with one senior, three sophomores and a freshman who combined their talents to lead the team to ĮŌh place honors. The Black Knights qualiĮed for the NCAA Championships in 2010-11, defeated Navy during the regular-season and captured the President’s Trophy Match for the second straight year. Buck was named a Įrst-team All-American (smallbore) by the NRA for Army’s Įrst selecƟon since 2009. Her 591 in smallbore broke the school mark that had been on the books since 2007. Buck was also a Įrst-team GARC selecƟon in smallbore and a second-team pick in the combined scoring.

Army posted a 6-6 mark, Įnished third at the GARC Championships for its highest Įnish since 2008, and was eighth at the NCAA Championships. The Black Knights placed fourth in the team scoring at the NCAA Championships in 2011-12 and were runner-up in smallbore. Michael MaƩhews was second individually in that event with Buck reaching the individual Įnals in both disciplines. Army captured the smallbore Ɵtle at the GARC and Buck was medalist. Three Black Knights were accorded All-America honors with Buck picking up a pair in smallbore (Įrst team) and air riŇe (second team). She was joined by MaƩhews and Joseph Todaro, who were selected for second team honors in smallbore. Army defended its President’s Trophy Match and defeated Navy en route to a 9-3 mark. Army earned its 10th straight trip to the NCAAs in 2012-13 and Įnished sixth. The Black Knights posted a 10-3 dual mark, that included its fourth straight win over Navy, for their most wins since 2007-08. Three Black Knights earned NRA All-America honors, equaling last year’s total, and seven were accorded CRCA All-Academic honors . MaƩhews and Todaro were All-America selecƟons for the second straight year and Richard Calvin garnered his Įrst cerƟĮcate. MaƩhews and Calvin were Įrst-team picks in smallbore and air riŇe, respecƟvely, with Todaro a second-team selecƟon in smallbore. Calvin is the 15th Black Knight under Wigger to earn All-America honors. Wigger reached the 100-win plateau during the season, and is just the third coach in Academy history to do so and lists second all-Ɵme. Army earned a berth to the NCAAs for the 11th straight year in 2014 and had its largest conƟngent of women with three on its Įve-man squad in underclassmen Alyssa Gestl, Olivia Nardone and Danielle Cuomo. The Black Knights were eighth in smallbore and edged TCU by three points for sixth place in air riŇe to Įnish eighth overall. Todaro, MaƩhews and Calvin repeated as NRA All-Amercans to boost Army’s total number of cerƟĮcates under Wigger to 48 during his 14 years at the helm. Third straight year Todaro and MaƩhew earned All-America honors and second for Calvin. Todaro earned Įrst team NRA All-America honors in smallbore and was an honorable menƟon on the inaugural Lapua CRA AllAmerican Team. MaƩhews (smallbore) and Calvin (air riŇe) were named to the NRA All-America second team. Todaro, MaƩhews and Calvin earned GARC All-Conference honors. Todaro earned Įrst-team honors in SB, second team in the combined scoring. MaƩhews was second team in SB and honorable menƟon in the combined scoring, and Calvin was second team in AR. Nardone was named a GARC Scholar-Athlete and Rick Johnson was tabbed as the GARC’s Assistant Coach of the Year. Army defeated Navy for the ĮŌh straight year and captured the President’s Trophy Match for the seventh Ɵme in the last nine years
