COACHING TIMELINE Navy (1991-Present) - Head Coach • Three Patriot League titles (Ind: 2001 2009; Out: 2003) U.S. Pan Am Team (1999) - Head Coach U.S. Olympic Festival East Team (1994) - Head Coach • Guided team to first victory U.S. Olympic Festival (1993) - Field Events Coach George Mason (1989-91) - Assistant Coach • Coached five athletes to All-America honors West Virginia (1987-88) - Assistant Coach • Earned master's degree in exercise physiology

Carla Criste has enjoyed terrific success over her 19-year tenure as Navy's head coach, guiding her teams to a 257-49-1 (.839) mark, including four undefeated seasons and a 78-1 record in dual-scored meets dating back to the 2004-05 season. In addition to its regular season successes, Navy has also stepped up at the postseason championship level, claiming three Patriot League titles since 2001 and posting four top-20 efforts at the ECAC Championship over the last seven seasons. The Midshipmen would post their second-straight undefeated year in 2009-10. The indoor team was 10-0 in dual-scored meets and the outdoor team was 3-0. It was also the second straight year that the women’s track team won both the indoor and outdoor N-Star meets and the ninth sweep overall. Criste also earned her second-consecutive Patriot League Indoor Coach of the Year award. At the helm in 2008-09, Criste guided the Mids to one of their most memorable seasons in program history. After being picked to finish fourth in the Patriot League’s preseason poll, Navy rode its distance corps and a spirited underclassmen group to the program’s second indoor track championship. For her efforts, Criste was named the Patriot League Coach of the Year for the second time in her career. In 2007, Navy recorded a ninth-place team score at the ECAC Championship during the outdoor slate, its highest finish since moving up to the Division I ranks in 1991-92. In that same outdoor season, the Mids also scored at the NCAA East Region Championship for the first time since the regional was added in 2003. In addition to her team's performance on the track, Criste’s student-athletes have also done their part in the classroom. Navy has produced both the Patriot League’s Indoor and Outdoor Track Scholar-Athletes of the Year in three-consecutive years, with distance standout Erica Ziel claiming the honor during both the winter and spring slates a year ago. Before Ziel, it was Vicki Moore, the Class of 2008 Valedictorian with a perfect 4.00 GPA, who was named the conference’s top track student-athlete in 2007-08. The year prior, Kirsten Andrews (’07) became the first Navy women's track & field member to be selected Patriot League Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year for all sports. Andrews would graduate as one of the Academy’s most decorated student-athletes, having twice earned Academic AllAmerica honors during her decorated career. It, thus, came as no surprise when Criste's track & field team was be awarded the Naval Academy Athletic Director's Cup for being the most successful all-around team on The Yard for the 2007-08 athletic season. Criste came to the Academy in 1991 after spending three years as an assistant with the women’s program at George Mason, where she oversaw the jumps, sprints, hurdles and multi-events. There, five athletes earned AllAmerica status and two became NCAA champions under her tutelage. The Patriots also captured the ECAC Division I Championship in each of her three seasons.

Criste has also been recognized on the national scene. She was selected as the field events coach for the 1993 U.S. Olympic Festival and coached the East team to victory, marking the East's first-win in the history of the festival. In 1999, Criste was named head coach for that year's Pan Am Games in Winnipeg, Canada. She also served as head coach of the 1995 U.S. National Track & Field Team, which consisted of men's and women's junior and senior teams that came together for a series of meets against Canada. Criste guided the U.S. team to wins in all four meets. A standout performer in her own right, Criste was a four-year letterwinner in track at Penn State, serving as captain of the Nittany Lion women's squad in 1985-86. She was an NCAA qualifier in the triple jump and was a national qualifier and ECAC record holder in both the pentathlon and heptathlon. After graduating from Penn State with a degree in nutritional science in 1986, she went on to earn her master's degree in exercise physiology from West Virginia in 1988. While at West Virginia, Criste served as an assistant track & field coach, handling the Mountaineers' jumps, sprints, hurdles and multi-events. After concluding her own collegiate career, Criste continued competing at the national level. For three years (1986-89) she competed at the U.S. Olympic Festival and was a member of the U.S. National Team from 1986-91. She was nationally ranked in both the triple jump and multi-events, representing the United States in several international team competitions. The daughter of Joan and Dave Criste (USNA ‘60), Criste also serves as an Assistant Athletic Director and professor at the Academy.

Steven Sarigiannis begins his fifth year as an assistant coach at Navy in 2010-11, where his focus centers on the throwing and pole vault events. During his tenure at Navy, Sarigiannis has helped one thrower to a NCAA regional qualifying mark in the javelin and seven athletes to ECAC-qualifying efforts. In addition, his work with the pole vaulters has paid immediate dividends. Under his guidance, Jacqui Charnigo met an NCAA provisional mark, captured a pair of Patriot League titles and earned All-East recognition three times. Sarigiannis came to the Academy in 2006 after serving as an assistant men's & women track and cross country coach at Robert Morris University from 2001-06. During his tenure with the Colonials, he was primarily responsible for all five throwing events, where he assisted with the cross country and distance runners. He also helped the head coach in training the sprinters, jumpers and hurdlers, while spearheading the recruitment of all track athletes. Other duties included assisting with fundraising, scheduling, meet management, budgeting, travel plans, organizing team events and academic monitoring. In addition to his responsibilities with the track and cross country teams, Sarigiannis was the head strength coach from 2001-05, where he designed and oversaw the weight training programs for more than 10 teams. Prior to his time at Robert Morris, Sarigiannis worked as a graduate assistant with the men's track & field team at Ball State from 2000-01. While earning his master's degree in Health Science in July 2001, he coached all five throwing events and was responsible for the recruitment of throwers. In 2001, he coached Zach Riley to AllAmerican honors in the hammer throw. During his coaching career, Sarigiannis has guided one U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier in the hammer throw, three NCAA Division I All-Americans, four NCAA Championship automatic qualifiers, 28 NCAA East Region Championship qualifiers and two Senior Olympic qualifiers in the shot put and discus. Sarigiannis also coached Tyler Blatchley to a seventh-place finish at the 2009 USATF Indoor Championship. The product of Cicero, N.Y., Sarigiannis was a four-year thrower at UNCWilmington, where he majored in physical education and graduated in December 1999 with honors. He was a three-time All-East and Colonial Athletic Association champion in the discus throw, earning MVP honors during his senior year. The twotime academic all-league thrower also served as the school's student representative at the NCAA Leadership Conference in 1999.

Karen Boyle, who also serves as the head coach of the Navy women's cross country squad, enters her 24th year as an assistant track coach in 2010-11. Navy has had a very successful distance team under Boyle’s watch, highlighted by Marty Shue’s title in the indoor 1,500-meter run at the NCAA Championship. Boyle has helped the track team to a 30-0 record over the past two seasons and the 2009 Patriot League Indoor Championship. Boyle has enjoyed much success as Navy’s cross country coach, guiding her teams to a 122-20 (.859) mark over her career, including an impressive 21-1 (.955) record in dualscored meets over the last-four seasons. During Boyle's tenure, five Navy cross country runners have competed at the NCAA Division I Championship. Boyle's first national championship qualifier came in 1992 with Kerry O'Neill, followed by Jackie Hayes in 1995, Rebecca Cline in 1997, Melissa Foon in 2000 and Amy Watson in 2008. Boyle has led the Mids to significant honors on both the Division II (1987-1990) and Division I (1991-present) levels. In Navy's last-four years of Division II competition, Boyle coached the cross country team to three-straight undefeated seasons and four-consecutive top-five finishes in the NCAA Division II Championship, with five runners garnering AllAmerica honors. Boyle was named Eastern Region Coach of the Year in three-straight seasons (1988-90). Boyle guided the program into the Division I ranks in 1991, and the Mids immediately achieved success by capturing the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championship in cross country. In 1997 and 2007, Boyle was named Navy's Fall Coach of the Year after she led Navy to an undefeated season. In 2007 and again in '08, she was recognized as the Patriot League Coach of the Year. In 1995, Boyle was selected as team leader for the USA Ekiden International Marathon in Beijing, China. She was also selected to help rewrite the level I track & field certification curriculum at the USA Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. In 1999, she received her C.S.C.S. certification as a nationally accredited certified strength and conditioning specialist. The summer of 2001 saw Boyle serve as an assistant track & field coach for Team USA in the Deaf Track & Field World Games, held in Rome, Italy. Boyle, a 1979 graduate of Bowling Green, received her degree in physical education and earned her master's degree in athletic administration and recreation from her alma mater in 1982. Athletically, she competed in both track and lacrosse, specializing in the 400 and 4x400-meter relay on the track and was a leading scorer for the Falcons' lacrosse squad. Her coaching career began at Heidelberg College in Tiffin, Ohio, where she coached the women's cross country and track & field teams from 1984-86, developing two national champions and nine All-Americans. Boyle is a tenured professor in the Naval Academy's Physical Education Department, teaching personal conditioning, rock climbing, kayaking and triathlon training. Boyle also participates in road races and triathlons. Administratively, Boyle served as the president of the NCAA Division I Women's Intercollegiate Cross Country Coaches Association (1999-2001), as well as a committee member on the USA Track & Field Coaching Education Board and the United States Track Coaches Association Long Distance Advisory Board.

Season Outlook With a strong contingent of returning talent at a number of different events, the Midshipmen are poised for yet another successful season in 2010-11.

"They've won a lot over the past several years and we have a confidence in ourselves that will help us a lot." After placing second at the Patriot League Indoor and Outdoor Championships in 2010, the Midshipmen return 11 All-Patriot League selections and two All-ECAC performers.

Junior Jess Palacio returns to the mid-distance unit having already won four Patriot League titles in her first two years at Navy. Palacio won the mile at the Patriot League Indoor Championship last season and was a double-winner in the 800 and 1,500 at the outdoor league meet. For her efforts, Palacio was named the Patriot League Outdoor Championship Track-Athlete of the Meet. She also already owns school records in both the mile and 1,500. "Jess is one our premier athletes," said Criste. "She is really coming into her own and had a strong year last year. This year, she looks even more defined and confident with more experience under her belt." A highlight of Palacio's sophomore season was her second place finish in the mile at the ECAC Indoor Championship. She earned additional All-ECAC honors by finishing seventh in the 1,500 at the ECAC outdoor meet. She would go on to qualify for the NCAA East Regional in the 1,500 and placed 11th in her heat. "Jess will be a big impact scorer in the 800, 1,000, 1,500 and mile and will also run with the 4x400 and 4x800 relays," said Criste. "She has a broad range as well as a lot of versatility. I think she has set a good trend for the rest of the distance runners to follow." Those other distance runners include seniors Erin Neumann and Katie Rentz. Neumann is the team's second-ranked returnee behind Palacio in the 800 and the 1,000. Rentz has been a steady contributor during her career and will look to end her career on a high note. "Erin should help round out the mid-distance crew. She will definitely be an impact player on the 4x800 relay as well as the mid-range distance events," said Criste. Junior Mollie Hebda is poised to lead the team in the long-distance events as the top returnee in both the 3,000 and 5,000. Hebda won the outdoor 1,500 against Army and had top-3 finishes in the mile and 3,000 at the indoor Star Meet. "Mollie should be really strong for us this year," said Criste. Sophomore Liz Milewski will also contribute to the distance group. Milewski transferred from William and Mary prior to last year, but missed the 2009-10 track season due to an injury. Milewski brings a personal-record in the 3,000 of 10:06.33, a time that is tops among Navy's returning distance runners.

“Liz will be strong in the 3K and she is really looking forward to making an impact this year.” Senior Bethany Rahall is back after placing fifth in the 3,000m Steeplechase at the Patriot League Outdoor Championship in 2010. She also won the steeplechase in the outdoor dual against Army. “Bethany will be setting the trend and mentoring some of the other girls for experience in the steeplechase.” Senior Sarah Burns and sophomore Brigid Byrne are each coming off successful cross country seasons and run the 10,000. Freshmen Zatha Loewen and Rachael Honrath will also contribute to the distance unit. As a newcomer with the cross country team this fall, Honrath earned three Patriot League Rookie of the Week honors.

After losing four-time Patriot League Champion Abby Gesecki to graduation, junior Mansfield Murph and sophomore Arabia Littlejohn will move into leadership roles in the sprints. Murph placed second in the 400 at the Patriot League Indoor Championship last season. She also scored and placed sixth in the 400 at the outdoor league meet. Littlejohn placed third in the 400 and fourth in the 200 at the Patriot League Outdoor Championship. "Mansfield has an incredible range of versatility and will likely also run on the 4x100, 4x400 and 4x800," said Criste. "Arabia is also incredibly versatile," said Criste. "She's got one of our top times from the 60 all the way up to the 800. She spans a wide-range of sprinting talent and she will also be on the 4x100, 4x400 and 4x800." Junior Colleen McFadden enters the season ranked as the top sprinter in the 60 and 100. McFadden had the 2009-10 season's best time in the 60 with an 8.05 third-place finish against Army. Junior Arian Davis is a talented multi-eventer who will also be one of the team's top sprinters. Last season the 4x400 relay team of Gesecki, Littlejohn, McFadden and Murph won the Patriot League Indoor Championship. Additionally, Littlejohn and Murph were on the 4x400 runner-up relay team at the outdoor league meet. The Midshipmen also had success with the 4x800 relay team last season. Gesecki, Murph, Palacio and Neumann placed second in the event at both the indoor and outdoor league meets. The team’s time of 9:02.26 at the outdoor meet was the fourth-fastest time in Navy history.

will also contribute in the sprints. Last season the 4x400 relay team of Gesecki, Littlejohn, McFadden and Murph won the Patriot League Indoor Championship. Additionally, Littlejohn and Murph were on the 4x400 runner-up relay team at the outdoor league meet. The Midshipmen also had success with the 4x800 relay team last season. Gesecki, Murph, Palacio and Neumann placed second in the event at both the indoor and outdoor league meets. The team's time of 9:02.26 at the outdoor meet was the fourth-fastest time in Navy history. Junior Ashley Aitken is the team’s top returning hurdler. Aitken owns the ninth-best 60m-hurdle time in school history (8.82) and was the runner-up in the event at the Patriot League Indoor Championship in 2009. “I'm really excited about Ashley,” said Criste. “She came out super strong this year and has looked great in the hurdles so far in the preseason. She also looks great in the jumps and she will segue really nicely into the multi-events.”

Sophomore Kristin Smith is back after earning ECAC All-East honors in the high jump as a freshman a year ago. Smith placed third at the Patriot League Outdoor Championship and seventh at the ECAC Outdoor Championship. Smith also won the NStar at the indoor Star Meet. Every athlete at the Naval Academy is tested in the vertical jump and Smith's mark of 30" is the highest by any female in the history of the Academy. "I'm looking for Kristin to have a national impact this year in the high jump," said Criste. "She has great speed, so the combination of her speed and vertical bodes really well for some great jumps this coming season." Former Patriot League high jump champion Christine Scales will also be a big scorer in the event. Scales won the league indoor title as a freshman. "Christine should definitely be in the top-three in the league in the high jump," said Criste. "We will also expect great things from Veronica Ffrench in the outdoor season in the high jump as well as the sprints,” said Criste. Ffrench played on Navy’s volleyball team in the fall and will play basketball in the winter, but will join the track team in the spring. Arian Davis will also aid in Navy’s high jump efforts. “The high jump should be our premier event this season,” said Criste. Scales is poised to lead Navy’s pole vault contingent. Scales scored in the event at the outdoor league championship in 2010. Sophomore Jordan Kronshage will contribute in the event. Christine Scales has looked really good. She'll be our top pole vaulter this year and “C seems really focused and excited for the upcoming year.” Team captain and senior Ashley Bucholz will anchor the long jump and triple jump events. Bucholz had a successful spring in 2010 in both events, placing third in each at the outdoor league meet and winning both events at the outdoor Star Meet. “Ashley should be a big impact scorer in the long jump and triple jump. She's got great speed this year and she's really been getting after it in the weight room. She set a lot of lofty goals for herself and I have no doubt she will achieve them.” Also competing in the horizontal jumps will be sophomore Melanie Sluzewicz. “Melanie has fallen closely behind Ashley's footsteps. She looks really strong in the jumps and I think we will get some big points from her as well.”

“I think this is going to be the year of the throwers,” said Criste. "We have a number of outstanding athletes and we should be very strong in every single one of the throwing events. Janet von Eiff is our team captain and she's got everybody working overtime in the weight room and putting in a lot of extra time in the technical ring.” A trio of veterans, von Eiff, senior Joy Nameth and junior Amanda Phelps, highlight the throwing unit. Phelps has shown a knack of performing at her best on the biggest stages. She set a personal record with a 53’9” weight throw to place second in the Patriot League Indoor Championship in 2010. She also set a PR in the hammer throw of 171’2” to win the event at the outdoor Star Meet against Army. “Amanda is looking very strong in both the 20-pound weight and the hammer right now.” Nameth enters her senior season as the team’s top-ranked thrower in the shot put and the discus. Nameth’s career-best mark in the shot put was a throw of 44’4¼" at the 2008 Patriot League Championship, which earned her All-Patriot League Second Team honors. “Joy is an impact player in all of the different throwing events, especially the shot put and discus.” Von Eiff is the team’s top returner in the javelin and is ranked second in the discus behind Nameth. Von Eiff placed fourth in the shot put at the outdoor league meet in 2010 and has four entries in the Navy’s indoor and outdoor shot put top-10 record book. “Janet is very versatile, she throws every implement out there. I'm looking for her to make a huge impact in the East Region in both the shot put and the discus. "We can look for some good marks in the javelin from all of our plebe throwers: Teronda Brown, Maressa Guynn, Alix Membrano and Katherine Poulin. All three plebes have highly recognizable high school experience and they will really help the scoring ability of our team as well,” said Criste. “Teronda is a little spark plug. She has incredible strength and natural talent and a willingness to learn. I think she will be following right in Janet's footsteps.” Ella Starr will also be an important contributor to Navy's throwers unit. “All of our throwers are very versatile and they spread themselves with an interest in all the different events,” said Criste.

Jumps | Multi-Event

Senior Ashley Robinson will also be a scorer in the triple jump. Robinson's best jump last season earned her a fourth-place finish at the indoor Star Meet. Junior Arian Davis is the team's top multi-event athlete. Davis placed second in both the pentathlon and heptathlon at the league championships last season. Davis will be the top returning multi-event athlete in the Patriot League this season, as the winners of the pentathlon and heptathlon have graduated. Davis' total of 3,326 in the pentathlon was the second-best total in Navy history. "Arian looks strong in the hurdles and the long jump and is right up there in the topthree of our high jump. She is also great in the throws. "Also, our seniors Ashley Robinson and Krysta Porter Lott have been doing the multievents for four years so they are leading the way with experience and are looking in great shape. Our multi-eventers are looking really strong. I'm excited for the heptathlon and the pentathlon this year."

Navy Track and Field Team Captains

Outdoor Team Captain Janet von Eiff

Why did you choose to attend the Naval Academy? I was impressed by the closeness of team when I visited during the winter of my senior year and the fact that coach Karen Boyle came to one of my track meets in Florida during that spring. She really made an impression as a coach and mentor during that time. What is your favorite aspect about being a Midshipman? My favorite aspect would be the camaraderie of Brigade during events where the majority of us are there, such as at football games. I have made great friends here as part of the track team and as part of the Brigade. We all share in so many common experiences during our time here; it makes us all closer. What was your reaction to being voted team captain? I was honored to know that I was chosen not through a good interview or a good impression I left just once on an individual, but a confidence I left in my team and that they put in me after having spent the last few years together. What is your favorite memory of your women's track and field career? My favorite memory would be when we won the Patriot League Indoor Championship the year it was held in Wesley Brown. The atmosphere and emotion as we watched our victory lock in place was surreal. What are your team and individual goals this season? To be determined and aggressive on the track and field while we come closer as a family, encouraging and cheering our sisters to success. What are you hoping for a service assignment and what are your postgraduation plans? I hope to be selected for Marines. What is something about yourself that your teammates would be surprised to know? I enjoy painting as a stress release.

Why did you choose to attend the Naval Academy? I felt that none of the other schools I was considering were as prestigious or better able to set me up in my future career.

What is your favorite aspect about being a Midshipman? My favorite part about being a Midshipman is all of the people that I have gotten to know through my time at the Academy. In the beginning, I was a little nervous about my choice to become a Mid but I was able to stay with it because of all the support I received from those I became close to. What was your reaction to being voted team captain? I was excited and honored to be given the chance to be a team captain, especially for a team of amazing young ladies. They are self-motivated and goal-oriented, which allows me to expect nothing but the best from everyone.

What is your favorite memory of your women's track and field career? The first time I felt the satisfaction of beating Army. It was an indoor meet my Plebe year and it was also the first time that I broke 44 feet in the shot put.

What are your team and individual goals this season? My team goal is to win Indoor and Outdoor Patriot League Championships; this is a goal that involves much effort from everyone and is attainable. It will also push everyone to set new personal records. My individual goals are to break the indoor/outdoor school records for shot put and place in top three every track meet. Definitely give it my all this year and push myself to set new personal records.

What are you hoping for a service assignment and what are your postgraduation plans? I put Surface Warfare as my number one choice for service assignment and I am hoping that I get stationed in San Diego. It would be awesome to be close to my family and friends from back home who have supported me through my time at the Academy. What is something about yourself that your teammates would be surprised to know? Before the Academy I never had a throwing coach to teach me the proper way to throw. In high school I would imitate other girls at competitions or I would take the advice given to me by other team’s coaches. When I got to the Academy, Sarge (coach Steven Sarigiannis) told me that I had been throwing the discus backwards!

Head coach Carla Criste was named the PL Indoor Coach of the Year for the second-stright season and the third time in her career. The outdoor team experienced similar success, tallying a 3-0 record in dualscored events. The squad defeated Army 107-93 to earn its eighth overall Star Meet sweep of the Black Knights. Navy also finished second in the Patriot League Outdoor Championships. With their perfect 13-0 record, the Mids went undefeated for the second straight year and are 30-0 during that span. Palacio (800, 7th place) and freshman Kristin Smith (high jump, 7th place) highlighted Navy’s participation in the ECAC Championships, as each earned All-East honors. The Mids concluded their season at the NCAA East Preliminaries, where Palacio competed in the 800 and senior Krystina Johnson competed in the high jump.

Built facing the scenic Severn River, the Wesley A. Brown Field House is a 140,000-square-foot multi-function athletic facility that serves as the home for the Naval Academy’s men's track & field program. The facility boasts a unique combination of a 76,000square-foot retractable Magic Carpet Astroturf system and a Mondo track surface with hydraulically controlled banked curves. The 200-meter hydraulic banked track is one of only four of its kind in the United States. It also features dual pole vault/jumping runways and throwing areas. State-of-the-art weight training and sports medicine facilities, as well as equipment storage areas round out this newest crown jewel to the Navy athletics arsenal. The facility is named after Lt. Cmdr. Wesley Brown, USN (ret.), the first African American midshipman to graduate from the Naval Academy in 1949. WESLEY ANTHONY BROWN Lieutenant Commander Wesley A. Brown, CEC, USN, (Ret.), was born April 3, 1927 in Baltimore, Md. He graduated from Dunbar High School in Washington, D.C., where he was Cadet Corps Regimental Commander during his senior year. Lt. Cmdr. Brown is the first African American to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy. Nominated for admission by New York Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Brown entered the Academy in 1945 and graduated in June of 1949. Lt. Cmdr. Brown, a veteran of World War II, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, retired in June 1969 after serving 20 years in the Navy’s Civil Engineer Corps. He holds the Navy Commendation Medal, World War II and Korean War Victory, Korean Service, and American Theater and Antarctic Service Ribbons. Brown and his wife, Crystal, have four children and seven grandchildren.

"Wesley Brown (above right) represents the service as well as anybody that put on the uniform. What a heroic step, what a courageous move, and what a lasting contribution he made. . . .

The all-weather MONDO track located northeast of Michelson Hall and Chauvenet Hall is the site of Navy's outdoor track and field meets.

Considered to be one of the premier facilities in the United States, it is named in honor of Vice Admiral Jonas H. Ingram, who commanded the U.S. South Atlantic Fleet during World War II. He was also the Naval Academy Director of Athletics from 1925-1930. The track underwent a $1.7 million renovation in the fall of 2001, with new all-weather surfacing placed on the quarter-mile oval and jump areas. The field area boasts six shot put circles, a discus-throwing circle and a javelin throwing area in the middle of the track. The field has four long/triple jump pits and a “D” zone that allows two high jump areas to be used concurrently.

The facility is also equipped with lights and Navy regularly holds 'twilight' meets at the facility. Additionally, the facility also features a Daktronics scoreboard, which displays current times and marks during meets.

At the Naval Academy, beating Army is important. Plebes yell “Beat Army!” in Bancroft Hall, “Beat Army!” is on every weight in the Naval Academy weight rooms, and alums and fans alike scream “Beat Army!” at the end of Blue & Gold, the Naval Academy’s alma mater.

As the undergraduate college of the Naval service, the Naval Academy prepares young men and women to become professional officers in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Naval Academy students are midshipmen on active duty in the U.S. Navy. They attend the academy for four years, graduating with bachelor of science degrees and reserve commissions as ensigns in the Navy or second lieutenants in the Marine Corps. Naval Academy graduates serve at least five years as Navy or Marine Corps officers.

Founded in 1845 by Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft, the Academy started as the Naval School on 10 acres of old Fort Severn in Annapolis with an original class of 55. In 1850 the Naval School became the United States Naval Academy. A new curriculum went into effect requiring midshipmen to study at the Academy for four years and to train aboard ships each summer. Congress authorized the Naval Academy to begin awarding bachelor of science degrees in 1933. Today, the Academy offers 18 major fields of study, a wide variety of elective courses and advanced study and research opportunities. USNA MISSION STATEMENT “To develop midshipmen morally, mentally and physically and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor and loyalty in order to graduate leaders who are dedicated to a career of naval service and have potential for future deployment in mind and character to assume the highest responsiblities of command, citizenship and government.”

From the first athletic competition played on the gridiron in 1879 to Navy's recent triumphs, several events, people, rivalries and personalities have shaped the entire Naval Academy athletic program. Below is a look at just some of the history and traditions that make Navy one of the most storied programs in all of collegiate athletics.

ANCHORS AWEIGH "Anchors Aweigh" was written by Lt. Charles Zimmermann, Musical Director of the Naval Academy in 1906, with the lyrics provided by Alfred H. Miles of the Class of 1906, as a fight song for the 1907 graduating class instead of the usual class march Zimmermann had composed for previous classes. The song made its debut at the 1906 Army-Navy game, and when the Midshipmen won the game, the song became traditional at this game. It gained national exposure in the 1920s and 1930s when it was heard on the radio and was in a number of popular movies. In 1997 a one-hour documentary on the history of Navy football, titled "Anchors Aweigh for Honor and Glory", was produced by NFL Films. The film was deemed a success by both critics and fans alike. Here are the words: Stand Navy down the field, Sails set to the sky, We'll never change our course, So Army you steer shy. Roll up the score, Navy, Anchors Aweigh, Sail Navy down the field, And sink the Army, Sink the Army Grey

BILL THE GOAT The first recorded use of a goat mascot for Navy athletic teams was in 1893 when an animal named El Cid (The Chief) was turned over to the Brigade by young officers of the USS New York. El Cid helped Navy to a 6-4 triumph over Army that year. Two cats, a dog, and a carrier pigeon have also enjoyed brief reigns as the Navy mascot, but goats have served without interruption since 1904. Bill XXXII and XXXIII and XXXIV are the current mascots. They are taken care of by 15 goathandlers made up of five midshipmen from the first, second and third classes. The goathandlers undergo rigorous training prior to handling Bill on the field.

BLUE & GOLD This song was written in 1923 by Cmdr. Roy DeS. Horn, USN (Ret.) with music composed by J.W. Crosley. Following every home athletic competition, the team faces its fans with their hands on their heart and sings the following notes:-

5 2 # NAVYSPO RTS.COM # 5 2


The Blue Angels perform an air show along the Severn River on the northern bank of the Academy each spring during Commissioning Week.

Now, colleges from sea to sea May sing of colors true; But who has better right than we To hoist a symbol hue? For sailors brave in battle fair, Since fighting days of old, Have proved the sailor's right to wear The Navy Blue and Gold

The Navy football team gathered for the traditional singing of the Blue & Gold following its win over Air Force in 2009, its seventh-consecutive win over its rival. Below: The men’s lacrosse team sang an emotional rendition of Blue & Gold following its overtime victory over rival Johns Hopkins in 2010.

MIDSHIPMAN The word midshipman first appeared in English in the 17th century in the form of the word midshipman to designate those men who were stationed "amidships," i.e. in the waist or middle portion of the vessel, while on duty. By 1687, however, the second 's' had been dropped to give the current form of the word. Midshipmen were originally boys, sometimes as young as seven or eight, who were apprenticed to sea captains to learn the sailor's trade.

In the early days of the American Navy, midshipmen trained aboard ship until they were eventually commissioned as ensigns. With the founding of the Naval Academy in 1845, it became possible, as it still is, for a midshipman to enter the Navy directly from civilian life. The name of students at the Naval Academy changed several times between 1870 and 1902, when Congress restored the original title of Midshipman, and it has remained unchanged since.

TECUMSEH The familiar Native American figurehead facing Bancroft Hall and Tecumseh Court has been an Annapolis resident since 1866. Originally, the figurehead of the USS Delaware was meant to portray Tamanend, the great chief of the Delawares. It developed that Tamanend was a lover of peace and did not strike the fancy of the Brigade. Looking for another name, Midshipmen referred to the figurehead as Powhatan and King Philip before finally settling on Tecumseh, the fierce Shawnee chieftain who lived from 1768-1813. The original wooden statue was replaced after some 50 years in the open weather by a durable bronze replica, presented by the Class of 1891. It is considered a good-luck "mascot" for the midshipmen, who in times past would throw pennies at it and offer left-handed salutes whenever they wanted a 'favor', such as a sports win over West Point, or spiritual help for examinations. These days it receives a fresh coat of war paint and is often decorated in various themes during football weeks and other special occasions such as Commissioning Week.

ENTERPRISE BELL From the bridge of the famed World War II aircraft carrier, it has been a part of the Naval Academy tradition since 1950. The late Admiral Harry W. Hill, then Superintendent, was instrumental in bringing the "E" Bell to Annapolis. It rings when the Academy observes Morning Colors and also during special ceremonies when Navy scores a majority of victories over Army in any one of the three sports seasons. The bell also rings during Commissioning Week for those teams that beat Army and have not participated in a previous bell-ringing during the academic year. The bell is stationed in front of Bancroft Hall.

Navy is dedicated to providing its athletes top-notch gameday and practice atmospheres in every sport. Navy annually ranks among the league leaders in attendance in nearly every sport, and has hosted numerous Patriot League and NCAA Championship events over the last several years. Many of the facilities have undergone extensive renovations recently, showing Navy’s commitment, dedication and passion to providing the very best for its athletes.

Since 2005, Navy has played host to the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Quarterfinals, the NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Final Four, the College Squash Association Individual Championship, the CWPA Eastern Water Polo Championship, the EIWA Wrestling Championship, as well as several other highly-competitive national events. In the past five years, Navy has also played host to Patriot League championships in the following sports: men’s and women’s basketball, women’s soccer, baseball, indoor and outdoor track and field and swimming and diving.

Navy’s facilities have also undergone major renovations and construction improvements, from the building of the $52 million Wesley Brown Field House, the $18.5 million Brigade Sports Complex and the $1.8 million Willis Bilderback-Dinty Moore Navy Lacrosse Hall of Fame, the $15 million Hubbard Hall renovation, major baseball renovations to the Terwilliger Brothers Field at Max Bishop Stadium, a $1.5 million renovation of the Halsey Field House squash facility as well as a complete $42 million overhaul of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium that gives the Mids a dominant home-field football presence and made the facility the finest in college lacrosse.

Now in his 10th year as Director of Athletics, Chet Gladchuk has overseen a renaissance of the Naval Academy athletic program. His administrative leadership has helped lead the program to one of the most successful periods in school history. The 2009-10 season was a successful one for the Midshipmen as Navy won 63 percent of its contests, defeated Army in the star competition for the 13th consecutive year and won the overall series against Army for the 17th time in the last 18 years. Navy produced 14 All-Americans, 13 conference athletes of the year, seven conference coaches of the year and seven conference championships. Navy also excelled in the classroom in 200910, ranking No. 2 in the country in graduation rate for student-athletes (among Football Bowl Subdivision schools) and all 24 of Navy’s NCAA sponsored varsity sports rank above the national average in the Academic Progress report, including five teams with perfect scores. Navy had eight Academic All-Americans and five Patriot League Scholar Athletes of the Year, while 176 student-athletes were named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll. Beth Reed (women’s soccer and basketball) and Mark Van Orden (Track & Field) won NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships, while Kayla Sax (women’s cross country and track & field) won Gates, Cambridge and Trident scholarships. Seven of the top 15 Naval Academy graduates in the class of 2010 were involved with varsity athletics, while 40 of the top 100 graduates were involved with either varsity or club sports. One of the more successful programs this past season was the football team, which won a school-record tying 10 games against four losses, won the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy for a school-record seventh-consecutive year and participated in a bowl game for a record seventh-straight year. The Mids ran their winning streak at South Bend to two with a 23-21 upset of the 19thranked Irish and dominated Missouri, 35-13, in the Texas Bowl. Other teams who flourished in 2009-10 included the water polo team finishing the season ranked 15th in the Collegiate Water Polo Association top 20, the rifle team finished eighth at the NCAA Championship, the wrestling team placed 46th at the NCAA Championship, the intercollegiate sailing team matched its finish from a year ago at the ICSA Coed Dinghy Nationals with a seventh-place finish and placed sixth at the ICSA Team Race Nationals, the men’s tennis team advanced to the NCAA Championship for a fourth-straight year, the women’s lacrosse team advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history and finished the year ranked 19th in the country and the lightweight crew team finished second at the IRA National Championship. Gladchuk’s efforts have been recognized on a national level as well, as the Division IA Athletic Directors Association named him the 2005 Bobby Dodd Athletic Director of the Year. The award is presented in recognition of an athletic director’s support and commitment toward the successful advancement of the department, most specifically in the sport of football. Additionally, he was recognized by the Secretary of the Navy for his contributions and service to the Navy and the Naval Academy with the Superior Public Service Award to the Department of the Navy. Gladchuk has been able to parlay Navy’s athletic success into an exclusive television deal with CBS College Sports Network that has increased Navy’s television exposure both in the United States and internationally. CBS College Sports Network, the first 24-hour college sports network, televises every Navy home and select neutral site football games (excluding Notre Dame and Army which are televised nationally by CBS), as well as other Midshipmen men's and women's athletic events, original programming and documentaries

centered on the storied Navy athletic program. The long-term, multi-media agreement includes internet streaming, broadband and video-ondemand rights and high definition rights. A major part of the agreement was that all home football games would be played on Saturday for the convenience of the Navy alumni. Navy sports are seen all over the world with the international distribution of Navy programming, especially to the troops serving abroad. Navy’s contract with CBS College Sports Network runs through 2018. Gladchuk has also added radio giants WBAL (1090 AM) in Baltimore and WFED (1500 AM, 1050 AM, 820 AM) in Washington D.C./Northern Virginia to Navy’s radio network. WBAL Radio, which is also the home of the Ravens, is Maryland's dominant and most powerful radio station. Since 1925, generations of Marylanders have turned to WBAL Radio for news, weather, thought-provoking discussions and sports. As Maryland's only 50,000-watt AM station, WBAL's signal travels substantially further than any other station in the state. WFED Radio, which is also the home of the Washington Nationals, is a 50,000-watt station that will air a minimum of 10 regular-season football games. WFED is your source for federal news covering both the Federal Government and those who do business with the government. Since being introduced as the Academy's 28th Director of Athletics on Sept. 4, 2001, Gladchuk has pressed forward on numerous fronts with energy and vision. From the hiring of Paul Johnson and Ken Niumatalolo as head football coaches to the renovation of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, Gladchuk has made improvements in several key areas that will prove more success on the athletic fields for years to come. Recent head coaching hires such as Bill Roberts in men’s swimming, John Morrison in women’s swimming, Paul Kostacopoulos in baseball, Keith Puryear in women’s tennis, the all-time winningest women’s lacrosse coach in NCAA history, Cindy Timchal, and the all-time winningest soccer coach in NCAA history on any level, Dave Brandt, have advanced those programs into the national limelight. During Gladchuk’s tenure at the Naval Academy, he has seen the Midshipmen win 64 conference titles, produce 128 All-Americans and 44 Academic All-Americans. Gladchuk has also worked tirelessly to bring back school spirit, working in conjunction with school officials to encourage midshipmen to attend events for all sports. He has embraced the local community and alumni base, and is an oftenrequested speaker, visiting areas all over the country as he shares the vision of the Naval Academy and the Naval Academy Athletic Association. Gladchuk’s biggest impact on the Naval Academy has been the $42 million renovation of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium where under his leadership the stadium was completely refurbished over a four-year time frame. The addition of 6,500 permanent seats on the sidelines and in the end zones, 32 luxury boxes, dropping the field eight feet and moving the sidelines closer, two video scoreboards, a memorial plaza, upgraded restroom and concession areas, a perimeter walking path, new lighting, a new sound system, landscaping the grounds and storm water management highlight the list of renovations. Gladchuk has worked closely with the city, county, state and neighborhood associations to ensure proper communication and sensitivity to issues that benefit both the NAAA and community at large. The NAAA was awarded the Green Star award by Annapolis Mayor Ellen Moyer for commitment to the environment during the ongoing renovation of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

Gladchuk and the NAAA have also teamed up with the Naval Academy Foundation to raise over $75 million in private giving for facilities such as the Brigade Sports Complex (hockey and tennis), Max Bishop Stadium (baseball), varsity squash courts, various team locker rooms and a number of practice facilities. Other highlights of Gladchuk’s tenure at the Naval Academy include the recent renegotiation of the Army-Navy contract which resulted in over $46 million to the two schools over the next eight years, scheduling Maryland, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Army at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore to promote Navy football in the community, negotiating the extension of the Navy-Notre Dame football game television contract with CBS through 2018 and negotiating bowl deals with the Houston, Emerald, Poinsettia, Meineke Car Care, EagleBank, Texas and Armed Forces Bowls. Gladchuk is heavily involved with NCAA and Patriot League committees. He recently was selected to serve on the NCAA Leadership Council, which is one of the highest NCAA appointments an athletic director can realize. The council will help set the Division I legislative agenda and advises the NCAA regarding major legislative issues being considered. The primary responsibility of the council is to identify those issues on the horizon that can impact Division I and intercollegiate athletics as a whole and will spend much of its time planning for the future of Division I and will help set the course for the future. Gladchuk is also on the NACDA (National Association of Collegiate Athletic Directors) Executive Committee and has served as the Chairman of the Executive Committee in the Patriot League and a member of the NCAA Olympic Sport Liaison Committee. Gladchuk came to the Naval Academy from the University of Houston, where he had been the Director of Athletics since July 18, 1997. Recognized as one of the nation’s top leaders in intercollegiate athletics management, he guided the Cougars to 19 Conference USA Championships, while making significant strides in the academic success of their student-athletes, gender equity and fiscal management. Before Houston, Gladchuk was the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, Intramurals and Recreation for seven years at his alma mater, Boston College. Under Gladchuk, Boston College emerged as one of the NCAA’s elite programs of the 1990s winning numerous Big East and NCAA Championships. The school’s graduation rate for all student-athletes was over 90 percent and the Eagles won the College Football Association’s Academic Achievement Award for the highest graduation rates among all Division I schools in three of his last five years at Boston College. Gladchuk led the Alumni Stadium expansion effort, which resulted in a $35 million improvement to the football stadium. Prior to rejoining Boston College, Gladchuk served as AD at Tulane University from 1987-90. During his tenure, he directed the reinstatement of the Green Wave basketball program to Division I status. In addition, he oversaw the construction of new facilities for the athletics administration as well as baseball, track and field and tennis teams after a $25 million athletics campaign was successfully completed. From 1985-87, he served as Associate AD at Syracuse University, heading operations, NCAA compliance, financial aid and facility operations. Gladchuk lettered in football at Boston College and graduated with honors in business management in 1973. He earned a master’s in sports administration from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst in 1974, where he began his career in intercollegiate athletics, including serving for seven years as Director of General Physical Education, Assistant and Associate Athletic Director for the university. He also has served as Director of Athletics and head football coach for the New Hampton (Prep) School in New Hampshire prior to leaving for UMass. He and his wife, Kathy, have four children: John, a graduate of Loyola Marymount; Katie, a graduate of Boston College; Christie, a graduate of Trinity and Julie, a graduate of the University of North Carolina.

FIRST-RATE FACULTY & STAFF The Naval Academy's philosophy of education stresses attention to individual students by highly qualified faculty members who are strongly committed to teaching. Classes are small, with an average size of fewer than 18 students and a student-faculty ratio of 8:1. All courses at the Naval Academy are taught and graded by faculty members, not by graduate assistants.

Women’s soccer’s Shelley Moeller (‘10) was a Third-Team Academic All-America honoree in 2009. Moeller was also a member of the Navy’s women’s lacrosse team.

Our 600-member faculty is an integrated group of officers and civilians in nearly equal numbers. Officers bring fresh ideas and experiences from operational units and staffs of the Navy and Marine Corps. The academy's civilian faculty members give continuity to the educational program and form a core of professional scholarship and teaching experience. Working together closely, these military and civilian faculty member form one of the strongest and most dedicated teaching faculties of any college or university in the United States.

MAJORS Students at the Naval Academy can select one of 53 different majors within 22 fields of study. The 22 fields of study are grouped into three different divisions: Division of Engineering and Weapons (aerospace engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, general engineering, mechanical engineering, Naval architecture, ocean engineering), Division of Math and Science (chemistry, computer science, general science, information technology, mathematics, oceanography, physics) and the Division of Humanities and Social Science (Arabic, Chinese, economics, English, history, political science, quantitative economics). In addition to graduating with a Bachelor’s of Science, students can attain a minor in one of seven different languages.

Beth Reed (‘10) was a First-Team Academic All-America selection for women’s soccer. Reed also played for the Navy women’s basketball team.

Students who excel at the Naval Academy have many opportunities to challenge and advance themselves through several special programs -- Trident Scholars, Honors Programs, and Voluntary Graduate Education Program (VGEP). Track and field athletes Kayla Sax and Tyrell Arment were part of the 10-member Trident Scholar program’s Class of 2010.

SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS In addition to furthering their education at schools across the country, students at the Naval Academy annually are in competition for several prestigious scholarships. Since Navy's first Rhodes Scholar, E. Van Meter ('28), a total of 45 Naval Academy graduates have received the Rhodes Scholarship, including 12 since 2001. Among Navy's most recent recipients is former baseball player Trevor Thompson ('05). 24 grads have won George C. Marshall Scholarships, including 14 since 2000. Standout swimmer Kelly Zahalka ('09) was a recipient of both the Harry S. Truman and Gen. George C. Marshall Scholarships, which paved the way for her to study for two years in the United Kingdom.

Kayla Sax (‘10) was a recipient of the Gates Cambridge Scholarship, becoming the ninth honoree from the Naval Academy.

Women's track and cross country runner Kayla Sax ('10) became just the ninth student from the Naval Academy to be awarded a Gates Cambridge Scholarship, which will enable her to contribute to research focused on alternative energy sources at the University of Cambridge in the coming year.

Both soccer's Beth Reed ('10) and track 's Mark Van Orden ('10) were awarded NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships and will be pursuing graduate degrees before resuming their respective naval careers on a fulltime basis.

Football’s John Dowd (‘12) was a Second-Team Academic All-America honoree in 2009-10.

Evan Barnes (‘08) is one of four Navy student-athletes to have been honored as First-Team Lowe’s Senior All-America as part of the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. Track and field’s Mark Van Orden (‘10) was a

recipient of an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and will pursue a graduate degree beginning the 2010-11 academic year.

ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICANS Naval Academy student-athletes have totaled 75 Academic All-America certificates over the years, with 42 of those awards coming since the start of the 1999-2000 academic year. USNA student-athletes have garnered eight awards during the 2009-10 academic year. The 200910 honorees included women’s soccer first-team selection Beth Reed (‘10), second-team football honoree John Dowd (‘12), women’s soccer third-teamer Shelly Moeller (‘10), first team rifle selections Liz Leckie (‘10) and Kenan Wang (‘11), men’s swimming first-team honoree Alex Buck (‘11), third-team men’s lacrosse selection Joe Lennon (‘10) and men’s track & field first-teamer Mark Van Orden (‘10). In addition to earning first-team status, Reed also became the first Naval Academy Academic All-American to receive the top award for her respective sport, as she was named the Division I Women’s Soccer Academic All-American of the Year – the highest academic honor bestowed upon any Division I women’s soccer student-athlete.

GRADUATION SUCCESS RATE For the fifth year in a row, the United States Naval Academy is at the head of the class for graduating NCAA student-athletes on the Division IA level. Navy graduated 100 percent of its student-athletes in 10 of the 20 NCAA sports reported on and averaged an overall rate of 98 percent for student-athletes in all sports – the second-highest mark nationally among Football Bowl Subdivision schools. LOWE’S SENIOR CLASS AWARD Navy has been well represented in the nomination process for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award, started in 2001 by Dick Enberg in response to the growing trend of men's basketball players leaving school early for the NBA. The award honors the attributes of senior student-athletes in four areas: classroom, community, character and competition. Navy has produced four first-team honorees in their respective sports over the last four years, highlighted by 2008 grad Evan Barnes, who was men’s soccer’s inaugural award winner in 2007. He, women’s basketball player Kate Hobbs ('07), women's soccer's Lizzie Barnes ('08) and men’s lacrosse’s Andy Tormey (‘09) each were named to the Lowe's Senior All-America First Team.

Kelly Zahalka (‘09) was a recipient of both the Harry S. Truman and Gen. George C. Marshall scholarships.

The men and women at the United States Naval Academy have committed themselves to the service of our country. During their four years in Annapolis, they also take part in service for the community. From outreach opportunities such as autograph sessions following athletic events to working with underpriveleged youth, the student-athletes at Navy give back to the area they call home during their college years.

The following are a few examples of community service opportunities performed by the men and women of Navy athletics during the 2009-10 academic year.

BASEBALL The baseball team adopted a local child with a brain tumor through the Friends of Jaclyn Organization. The child became a fixture at Navy’s home baseball games and the team has taken an active role in his and his family’s lives. The team presented them with an autographed baseball by the team, visited their house, attended his concert and sister’s swimming meet, spoken with him numerous times – especially after doctor’s appointments – and have helped him with his homework assignments. MEN’S BASKETBALL The men’s basketball team served as the host to a Navy Youth Center birthday party on the main court in Halsey Field House. FOOTBALL Quarterback Ricky Dobbs visited the Naval Academy Primary School and spoke to the firstgrade classroom, explaining the importance of doing the best in their studies and following their dreams. Dobbs had the students try on his football helmet and signed autographs for each of the children before going to visit both of the fourth-grade classrooms.

While in Houston for the Texas Bowl, the football team and the cheerleaders visited the children at the DePelchin Children’s Center. DePelchin was founded in 1892 by Kezia Payne DePelchin to shelter orphaned children. It was originally named the Faith Home, because Mrs. DePelchin had faith in the wonderful business leaders of Houston to support her cause. Although she died within a year, the community leaders, touched by her passion and mission, became united in their determination to carry on her work. Today, services are provided in over 60 locations in six counties in the southeastern part of Texas.

OFFSHORE SAILING Members of the varsity offshore sailing team instructed several members of the JROTC maritime training program in Chicago.

WOMEN’S SOCCER The women’s soccer team held one of many “Meet the Mids” autograph sessions following a game last fall. All fans attending a “Meet the Mids” event are given a free poster for autographs, as well as an opportunity to take photos and converse with their favorite Navy studentathletes.

SWIMMING & DIVING The swimming & diving teams offered free learn-to-swim lessons to anyone in Lejeune Hall during the spring.

MEN’S TENNIS The men’s tennis team made its annual visit to the MaliVai Washington Kids Foundation, which provides an athletic and educational after school outlet for youths in the Jacksonville, Fla., area. The Mids first participated in a question-and-answer session with the youths before heading out to the tennis courts for some instruction and competition. A tradition on Navy's visits, each time a youth defeats a Mid, that Navy player has to immediately perform 10 push-ups.

GOLF The golf team conducted a junior clinic for 15 youths from the Stanton Community Center in Annapolis. Head coach Pat Owen showed the group the putting green and how the cups were changed, followed by a clinic on the practice range that featured demonstrations by the Navy golf team. After a short discussion of the fundamentals, each youngster was paired up with a varsity golfer and had the opportunity to hit practice balls on the range.

The Naval Academy is located in historic Annapolis, the capital of the State of Maryland. Annapolis was founded in 1640 as Anne Arundel Town and later became the first peacetime capital city of the United States of America in 1783.

Annapolis, named to honor Queen Anne of England, was granted a royal charter as a city in 1708. Annapolis can also lay claim to having been a capital of the United States. From November 1783 to August 1784, the Continental Congress met in the State House. It was here that they accepted George Washington’s resignation as commander-in-chief and ratified the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Revolutionary War.

The colonial heritage of Annapolis is still evident as the city boasts more buildings from the 1700s than any other city in the country.

The heart of downtown Annapolis has also been designated a National Historic District. Many fine examples of colonial architecture, including the State House, Hammond-Harwood House, Chase-Lloyd House and the William Paca House and Gardens, are open to visitors. In August, 2009, Annapolis was named a Top Ten finalist for the International Award for Livable Communities, a competition focused on creating livable communities through sound environmental practices.

Annapolis is located on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the United States. The Chesapeake provides natural environs, sightseeing, sailing, fishing and more, helping Annapolis become the sailing capital of the world. The water-lover will also revel in the fact that Maryland has nearly 4,000 miles of shoreline – more than any other state. Within 30 minutes of Annapolis lies both Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, providing entertainment and sightseeing opportunities for residents and tourists alike.
