Pitching Coach First Year Cal State Fullerton

Assistant Coach First Year Wingate, 2002 Toby Bicknell enters his first year as an assistant baseball coach at Air Force. Bicknell comes to the Academy from Davidson, where he spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach. At Davidson, Bicknell handled several duties, working with the offense, coaching third base and instructing the infielders, outfielders and catchers on defense. Bicknell will serve similiar duties at Air Force. Prior to his stint at Davidson, Bicknell served two years at Clemson as a volunteer assistant coach. The Davidson College 2010 season was highlighted by a 2-2 record vs. ACC teams including wins over Duke and nationally ranked #16 Virginia Tech. The Wildcats posted a 13-7 non-conference record while improving offensively in eight offensive categories including batting avg., runs, hits, triples, RBIs, hit-by-pitches, on-base percentage and stolen bases. Davidson also made great strides defensively, committing 13 less errors than the 2009 team, improving their fielding percentage to .960 and turning 36 double plays. The 2010 season saw Andrew Barna earn SoCon All-Freshman and Freshman All-American. During his first season with the Wildcats, the 2009 team improved in eight offensive categories - home runs (30 to 66), doubles (89 to 122), runs scored (272 to 313), RBIs (252 to 283), total bases (647 to 827), slugging percentage (.375 to .468), on-base percentage and stolen bases (45 to 56), and finished seventh or higher in the Southern Conference in five offensive categories - slugging percentage, doubles, home runs, total bases and stolen bases. Davidson had five starters that batted over .300, 13 batters with at least one home run (three with double digits) and four starters with double-digits in doubles. Defensively, the team also showed improvement in fielding percentage and had a decrease in errors committed. During his time at Clemson, Bicknell worked primarily with infielders and hitters along with coordinating summer camps at Clemson. The Tigers compiled a 70-51-1 record during his two years and he coached five players who were picked in the Major League Baseball draft. During the 2008 season, the Tigers boasted one of the toughest schedules in the country, taking five games over top-25 opponents, seven over regional teams and three over super regional teams. In his first season at Clemson in 2007, Bicknell helped coach one of the best infields in Tiger history, led by first baseman Andy D'Alessio, shortstop Taylor Harbin, and third baseman Marquez Smith. Smith was a First Team All-ACC selection who hit .336 with 13 homers and 56 RBIs, while D'Alessio, who was the MVP of the regionals,

Tim Dixon enters his first year as pitching coach at Air Force. Dixon comes to the Academy after spending the last four seasons on the baseball staff at Southern Illinois University. Prior to SIU, Dixon coached two years at both Feather River College (Quincy, Calif.) and two years at the University of Pacific, a member of the Big West Conference. In his four years at SIU as the Saluki pitching coach, Dixon coached seven draft picks (Cody Adams, Jordan Powell, Kyle Catto, David Kington, Byant George, Ryan Bradley, and Nathen Forer), a freshman all-American (Bryant George) and four all-conference honorees (George-three times, Adams, Adam Curynski and Forer). Adams was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the second round (62nd overall) of the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft, becoming SIU's highest draft pick since 2004. In 2009, George became SIU's all-time leader in saves as a junior and finished his career with 30 saves. While at Pacific, he handled the pitching staff and, in those years, had three pitchers selected in the MLB Draft. Before joining the college coaching ranks, Dixon served as the pitching coach at Archbishop Mitty High School in Saratoga, Calif. Mitty won back-to-back West Catholic League Championships and was ranked as high as seventh in the country during the 2002 season. Dixon and his staff helped send several players to Division I programs. As a player, Dixon pitched for six seasons at the professional level with the Expos, Brewers and Red Sox organizations. Drafted in the 14th round of the 1995 MLB Amateur Draft, he went on to spend three of his six years in Triple A with the Expos and Red Sox. While pitching for the Harrisburg Senators -- the AA affiliate of the Expos -- Dixon won back-to-back Eastern League Championships, finishing his career with an overall 3.30 ERA and a 2:1 strikeout-towalk ratio. As a student-athlete at Cal State Fullerton, Dixon and the Titans won the 1995 Division I National Championship, beating USC, 11-5. Dixon pitched the semifinal game in Omaha, shutting out Tennessee, 11-0. The (combined) shutout was the last shutout thrown in the College World Series for eight years until Kyle Baker of Georgia Tech (combined) for a shutout in an 11-0 victory over South Carolina in the 2002 CWS. Dixon was 13-0 overall with a 3.43 ERA in 1995. Dixon still holds the record for most victories without a loss at Fullerton. Dixon received his bachelor's degree from National University in 2001 and master's in sports psychology from Optimal Performance Institute in 2008. "To be a part of what the Air Force Academy represents is truly an honor and privilege," Dixon said. "I want to thank everyone that was involved in the hiring process and I am excited to be part of the greatest institution in the country! I look forward to being around such high quality young men and women who have made the ultimate decision to serve our country. Alongside everyone involved with Falcon baseball, I look forward to raising the expectations of the program to the standards of what the Air Force Academy and the Air Force represents." Dixon and his wife, Kendra, will reside in Colorado Springs with their daughter, Hailey (8) and son, Brayden (4).

sports career...son of Brian and Mary Beth Carley.

Why I came to the Academy: The Academy, to me, means a guaranteed future. Graduation ensures a means of supporting a family, a guaranteed job, a free education, and an opportunity to serve in the greatest Air Force the world has ever seen. I am so honored to be here. I reflected one night on my new lifestyle, and how the choices I have made have affected the path of my life, and I wouldn’t change a thing. The Academy has taught me so much already, I can only look forward to what I will learn in the future. Baseball is my passion. My lust for the game is what pushes me to get through the many challenges the Academy dishes out. The friends on the team that I have made will be my best friends for life. We have been through so much as a class already, that our bonds together are that much stronger. I dream about those nights last year that I was on the bump, staring down the hitter, the crowd roaring. I can still put myself back in the game against TCU that I came in to close the day before I started. The amount of focus I had that night in the bottom of the ninth, the game riding on me…..I will never forget that moment. Even though our record did not reflect the hard work the team put in, I know that with the coaches we have this year, and the desire we have to change this program around, everything is possible.

Air Force Head Coaches Joe Robison

Paul Mainieri

Joe Robison could be called the “Father of Air Force Baseball.” His 282 wins are the most in school history and 130 more than the next closest coach (Mainieri). Robison led the 1979 team to a 33-13 record, the highest win total in school history. His 1980 team was 27-9-1 and posted the second-best winning percentage in school history. Robison led the Falcons to eight winning seasons, the most of any coach in AFA history. Robison led the Falcons into a new era in 1981 as the Falcons joined the Western Athletic Conference. Robison coached five seasons in the WAC and produced the most WAC wins (44) and the most WAC wins per season (8.8) in school history. During his 14 seasons, Robison coached four GTE/CoSIDA academic All-Americans and seven all-WAC performers. After leaving the Academy, Robison served as a scout in professional baseball. Robison helped build the New York Yankee baseball club that won the 1996, 1998 and 1999 World Series championships.

COACH (YEARS)

Paul Mainieri’s legacy at the Academy will not soon be forgotten. An enthusiastic coach with a burning desire for success, Mainieri is the only coach in school history to win 20 or more games in six consecutive seasons. The Miami, Fla., native posted a 12-4 mark in service academy games. He coached three of AFA’s seven All-Americans, two of the five freshman All-Americans and 12 of AFA’s 36 all-conference players. Mainieri has the second-most wins in school history with 152 from 1989-94. In 1989, he led the Falcons to their best conference record (13-13) in AFA history. In 1993 and 1994, he led the Falcons to consecutive winning seasons for the first time in 15 years. Mainieri’s teams consistently ranked among the nation’s top hitting teams. In 1994, the Falcons led the nation in batting average, triples per game and slugging percentage. The team also ranked third in scoring and sixth in home runs. Following the 1994 season, Mainieri left the Academy to take the head coaching position at the University of Notre Dame. In 12 seasons with the Irish, Mainieri kept the program as a perennial national powerhouse, posting a 533-213-3 record, leading the Irish to the 2002 College World Series. As a testament to Mainieri’s coaching legacy, he was hired as head baseball coach at LSU, one of the most storied programs in collegiate baseball history, in 2007 and begins his fourth year with the Tigers. In 2009, Mainieri led the Tigers to the NCAA national title by winning the CWS, giving LSU its sixth national title. Mainieri was also CollegeBaseballInsider.com and Rivals.com Coach of the year in 2009.

Colorado Springs

The immortal words of an eastern visitor in 1893 live perpetually at the base of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. When teacher and poet Katherine Lee Bates took a wagon ride to the summit of Pikes Peak she was inspired to write a song that is still recited today. Her view from atop the 14,110-foot peak was the basis of her song “America the Beautiful”. The history of Colorado Springs traverses back to 1870 when Gen. William Jackson Palmer first visited the region and was captivated by its grandeur. A year later, he began designing his city of dreams. From its beginning on the corner of Pikes Peak and Cascade Avenues in Colorado Springs was downtown Colorado Springs, the city has grown more than 183 square miles and to nearly 400,000 people in ranked as the No. 1 Best the city and 600,000 in the metro area. Colorado Springs is known nationally for its natural Big City in 2007 (over attractions. The Garden of the Gods, the area’s No. 1 natural attraction, is a majestic out-cropping of red sand- 300,000) to Live by Money stone rocks which are more than 300 million years old. Colorado Springs is also home to the Pikes Peak High- Magazine based on quality way, a 19-mile drive up the world’s highest toll road. The of life, climate, social acarea’s No. 1 man-made attraction is the Air Force Academy’s Cadet Chapel. tivities, cleanliness and Another major attraction is the Broadmoor Hotel and safety. Resort. Built in the early 1900s, this five-star resort, hosted the 1995 U.S. Women’s Open Golf Championship and the 2008 Senior U.S. Open, and is nestled into the base of Cheyenne Mountain. The Pikes Peak region is home to the nation’s only mountain zoo. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, with an elevation of more than 6,800-feet, has received several changes in the past two years. For the outdoors enthusiast, the city and the state offer a plethora of recreational activities. A short drive to the northwest features some of the nation’s finest ski resorts, including the cities of Vail and Aspen. A short jaunt to the southwest or northwest will find some of the best white-water rafting, fishing, hiking and cycling that the country has to offer. Valuing its past with a vision for the future, Colorado Springs is truly a city with unparalleled culture, recreation, growth and opportunity in the 21st century.

Denver

Less than 45 minutes from the Academy and with over 300 days of sunshine per year, The Mile High City of Denver has it all. Truly a sports capitol, Denver has nine professional sports teams, including the Denver Broncos (NFL), Denver Nuggets (NBA), Colorado Avalanche (NHL), Colorado Rockies (MLB), Colorado Rapids (Major League Soccer), Colorado Crush (Arena Football League), Denver Dynamite (Indoor Soccer League), Denver Outlaws (Major League Lacrosse) and the Colorado Mammoth (National Lacrosse League). Recent success among the teams has driven the excitement for these teams a mountain high. The Broncos won the Super Bowl in 1998 and 1999. The Avalanche won the Stanley Cup in 1996 and 2001. The Crush won the Arena Bowl in 2005. Located just east of the Rocky Mountains and the Continental Divide, Denver has a mild and dry climate with more days of sunshine per year than San Diego and Miami. Golf courses are open year round as the average winter temperature is 45 degrees, warmer than Boston, New York City and St. Louis. The city sits at 5,280 feet above sea level. In fact, there is a step on the State Capitol Building that is exactly one mile above sea level. Even at a mile above sea level, the city is dwarfed by its backdrop. The foothills being just west of the city and the peaks of the mountain range reach heights of more than 14,000 feet. Despite the proximity to the mountains, the city receives just 8-15 inches of precipitation per year, about the same as Los Angeles. The United States Census Bureau estimates that, in 2006, the population of the City and County of Denver was 566,974, making it the 27th most populous U.S. city. The Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Statistical Area had an estimated 2006 population of 2,408,750 and ranked as the 21st most populous U.S. metropolitan statistical area. Denver has the largest city park system in the nation. There are 650 miles of off-street, bike paths, 90 golf courses and 200 parks. Within a 90minute drive from downtown Denver, there are opportunities for some of the country’s best skiing, hiking, fishing, rafting and mountain biking.

Each has at least a master's degree and more than 55 percent have doctorates or other terminal degrees in their field of study. About 30 percent of the faculty are civilians who bring great depth of disciplinary and educational expertise and provide academic stability and continuity. Faculty members are intensely focused on cadet learning as an integral part of their officer development. The Air Force Academy has been ranked No. 1 in the nation for the most accessible and involved faculty for four years in a row. To provide greater contributions by a diverse faculty, the Academy has several distinguished visiting professors and endowed professors who serve one or more years. Officers from other services, as well as officers from allied countries are also members of the faculty. Distinguished civilian and military lecturers also share their expertise with the cadets during the academic year. ATHLETIC PROGRAM The Academy's athletic program is designed to improve physical fitness, teach athletic skills and develop leadership qualities. To achieve its goals, the Academy offers some of the most extensive physical education, intramural sports and intercollegiate athletic programs in the nation. Cadets take at least three different physical education courses each year.

MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING An air, space and cyberspace-oriented military education, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues throughout the four years. Seniors are responsible for the organizational leadership of the cadet wing, while juniors and sophomores seek to develop team and interpersonal leadership and instructional skills. Cadets are projected into as many active leadership roles as possible to prepare them to be effective Air Force officers. Fundamental concepts of military organization -- drill, ethics, honor, Air Force heritage and physical training -- are emphasized the first summer during basic cadet training. Freshmen then study the military role in United States society as well as the mission and organization of the Air Force. Sophomores receive instruction in communication skills and juniors study the combat and operational aspects of the Air Force. The Academy offers courses in flying, navigation, soaring and parachuting, building from basic skills to instructor duties. Some cadets may fly light aircraft with the Cadet Flying Team. Summer training for cadets is divided into three, threeweek training periods. There are a variety of programs available and each cadet is required to complete two training periods each summer with leave during the other period. All new cadets take six weeks of basic cadet training in their first summer. Combat survival training is a required three-week program during cadets' second summer. For other secondsummer training periods, cadets have options such as working with Airmen in an operational unit at an Air Force installation, airborne parachute training, soaring or basic free-fall parachute training. During their last two summers, all cadets are offered leadership training as supervisors or instructors in the summer programs listed above. Extracurricular activities also are an integral part of the education program. The cadet ski club, drum and bugle corps, cadet chorale and forensics are a few of the programs available.

HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY In 1948, a board of leading civilian and military educators was appointed to plan the curriculum for an academy that would meet the needs of the newly established Air Force. The board determined that Air Force requirements could not be met by expanding the other service academies and recommended an Air Force Academy be established without delay. In 1949, then Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington appointed a commission to assist in selecting a site and on April 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized creation of the United States Air Force Academy. After considering 580 sites in 45 states, the commission narrowed the choice to three locations. The summer of 1954, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott selected a site near Colorado Springs, Colo. Colorado contributed $1 million toward purchase of the property.

Director of Athletics Dr. Hans J. Mueh Director of Athletics l Seventh Year Dr. Hans J. Mueh is in his seventh year as the director of athletics at the Air Force Academy. A retired Air Force brigadier general, Mueh was vice dean of faculty for two years prior to his retirement from active duty in the summer of 2004. Mueh was heavily involved in Academy athletics before becoming director of athletics. He was the Academy's faculty athletics representative from 1996-2004 and was a long-time member of the board of directors for the Air Force Academy Athletics Association. Since becoming the director of athletics, Mueh has led the Academy to some remarkable feats. In 2007, the Academy was one of only three schools (Michigan State and Boston College) to reach post-season play in football (2007), men’s basketball and ice hockey (2006-07). It marked the first time a service academy has ever had a team compete in the post-season in all three sports. In addition, under Mueh’s watch the men’s basketball team has played in an NCAA tournament and the National Invitational Tournament’s Final Four. The ice hockey team won three straight conference championships and made three straight appearances in the NCAA tournament. Mueh was on the selection committee that hired current head coach Frank Serratore and led the Academy’s move into the Athletic Hockey Association. The football program, the Academy’s flagship sport, has gone through a major overhaul under Mueh. He led the transition from the retirement of the legendary Fisher DeBerry after 23 years at the helm to hiring current head coach Troy Calhoun, a 1989 Academy graduate. Calhoun’s impact was immediate, leading the Falcons to a 9-4 overall mark and a second-place finish in the Mountain West Conference in 2007. The Falcons qualified for their first bowl game in five years, playing in the Armed Forces Bowl in 2007. The program has posted backto-back eight-win seasons and qualified for bowl games since, marking the first time since 1990-92 Air Force has been to a bowl three straight years.

2010. The $15 million facility will be completed early in 2011. Mueh has also been active within the conference and the NCAA. He was recently selected to be part of the NCAA Division I Amateurism Cabinet and has been active on the NCAA’s academics/eligibility compliance cabinet, the men’s golf committee and the region 7 postgraduate scholarship committee. Mueh has been equally active within the conference on various leadership committees. He is currently on the awards and recognition committee and has previously served on the joint council executive committee, and committees on championships, television and sportsmanship. Before assuming his duties as vice dean at the Academy, Mueh was permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry at the Academy, a position he held since October 1987 where he oversaw the annual design and instruction of 25 undergraduate courses for 1,500 cadets annually. Mueh was born Jan. 8, 1944, in Celle, Germany, and emigrated to the United States in 1951. He entered the Air Force in 1962 as a member of the Academy's eighth graduating class, and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in chemistry in 1966. While at the Academy, Mueh was a two-year letterwinner in soccer as a goalie. He still holds the Academy record for saves in a game with 30, accomplishing it twice in 1965 against North Carolina and Benedictine. In his junior and senior years, Mueh helped the Falcons to the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League championship and quarterfinal berths in the NCAA tournament. He was a first-team all-league selection in 1965. Following graduation, Mueh completed two assignments in intelligence before attending the University of Wisconsin where he earned his master's degree in chemistry in 1970. He later earned a doc-

torate degree in chemistry from Wisconsin in 1976 as a distinguished graduate. He has also completed Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College and Air War College. Between earning the two degrees, Mueh returned to the Academy as an instructor in the department of chemistry from 1970-72. He also served as assistant soccer coach and played semipro soccer with the Aurora Internationals in Denver during those two years, leading the Internationals to the Colorado state title in 1971. He volunteered for duty in Vietnam and served as an intelligence officer in Saigon, Republic of Vietnam and at Nakhon Phanom RTAB, Thailand, in 1972 and 1973. After earning his doctorate degree, Mueh returned to the Academy in 1976 as an associate professor of chemistry. He remained at the Academy except for a stint in 1985-86 as the special assistant for technical matters at the Defense Intelligence Agency at the Pentagon. In 1986, he assumed the position of acting head, department of chemistry, before being selected for his position of permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry in 1987. As faculty athletics representative, he was active in both the Western Athletic Conference and Mountain West Conference, and was the Academy's representative on the transition team to form the new MWC, the only faculty athletics representative on the team. He competes in golf, racquetball, handball and tennis, and has promoted Air Force Academy intercollegiate sports throughout his tenure, beginning with work as chairman of the hockey eligibility committee, officer representative to the men's golf team and five years as the officer representative to the football team. Mueh is married to the former Sally Flax of Cincinnati, Ohio. They have three children: Kristine, Kurt and Deborah.

Mueh has been just as successful behind the scenes with the administration of the department. Mueh restructured the department with an internal/external model that has streamlined resources and made the department more effective from top to bottom. In addition, he has the department on course to become a federally chartered non-profit organization which will lead to more fund-raising opportunities. Mueh was instrumental in the USAFA Endowment and the announcement of an Indoor Training Facility that broke ground in the summer of

Air Force Athletics Few schools in the country have an athletic program as extensive as the Air Force Academy's. The goals of the athletic program are to enhance the physical conditioning of all cadets, to develop the physical skills necessary for officership, to teach leadership in a competitive environment and to build character. There are three subdivisions of the athletic program: intercollegiate athletics, intramurals and physical education. The intercollegiate program has 17 men's and 10 women's NCAA-sanctioned teams, facing some of the top competition in the nation. Men’s teams are football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, cross-country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, rifle, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo and wrestling. The Academy fields women's teams in basketball, cross-country, fencing, gymnastics, rifle, indoor and outdoor track, swimming and diving, soccer, tennis and volleyball. In addition, the Academy sponsors two non-NCAA programs; boxing and cheerleading. The majority of the Academy’s men’s and women’s programs compete at the NCAA Division I level in the Mountain West Conference. The Falcons compete in this conference against teams from Brigham Young, New Mexico, Col-

orado State, San Diego State, TCU, Wyoming, Utah and UNLV. All sports also compete against non-conference opponents, including many nationallyranked teams. The football team competes annually for the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy, which is emblematic of service academy football supremacy. The Falcons have won the trophy 16 times, which is more than Army and Navy combined. The winner of the annual rivalry visits the White House to have the trophy presented by the President of the United States. The USAFA Cadet Field House is one of the most impressive buildings in the country. It’s a modern, versatile structure with seemingly endless uses. The $5.6 million building is five stories high and 396 feet by 426 feet, the size of three football fields laid side by side. The structure is divided into three areas-basketball arena, ice hockey arena and multipurpose area. The three sections have a combined seating capacity of more than 9,000. Clune Arena seats 5,834. The Cadet Ice Rink has a seating capacity of 2,470, while the multipurpose area seats 1,000 fans for track and field competitions. The department’s newest facility is the Indoor Training Facility (pictured left), which will be completed in early 2011.

Falcon Field

Over the years, Falcon Field has become one of the toughest parks in which to play in the nation. Nestled against the Rampart Range of the Rocky Mountains, Falcon Field sits at over 7,000 feet above sea level. In 1991, the field became one of the most unique in the country. Due to the severe Colorado weather, an Astroturf infield was installed with a brand new grass outfield and drainage system. The turf allowed the Falcons to play games after spring snowstorms which, in the past, would have had to be postponed. Also in 1991, the fences were moved back more than 20 feet in some spots. The current dimensions are 349 in left field, 393 in left center, 400 in center, 365 in right center and 316 in right

field. The “short porch” in right field is protected by a 24-foot chain link “Monster.” As part of the renovation, the dugouts were upgraded with heaters and, permanent helmet and bat racks and the park gained space for more than 500 fans with additional seating on the grass for a capacity of more than 1,000. In the fall of 2004, the old AstroTurf infield was replaced with new Sport Turf. During the first five seasons after the renovation, the Falcons improved in every area of the game - team defense, team offense and team pitching. The batting average of .328 and fielding percentage of .942 were the highest in any five-year period up to that point. The team ERA consistently improved and the five-year ERA of 7.25 is the best since joining a major conferL ence in 1981. 5 As a result, the Falcons posted 7 a 128-122 record during that time for a 2 winning percentage of .512, the best 7 since joining a major conference in 11 1981. The Falcons averaged nearly 26 10

wins per season in those five years, the best fiveyear average in school history. AFA’s home winning percentage of .550 in 2000 is the best since a .625 mark in 1995. Since 1957, the Falcons have won 55 percent of the games played at Falcon Field. The 1993 team broke the school record by winning 21 home games. In 54 seasons of Falcon baseball, the team has posted 34 winning seasons at home. In 2010, the Falcons were 7-12 at home. Falcon Field also earned national recognition as the host of the 1976 and 1995 U.S. Olympic Festivals. A new era began for Falcon Field in 2010, as a new FieldTurf surface was installed over the summer of 2009. The entire playing surface, with the exception of a dirt mound, is FieldTurf. In addition, the entire fence surrounding the park was replaced and a new hitters eye was installed. Air Force also upgraded the dugouts, installing new wood seats and an an upgraded heating system.
