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 All-America 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 multievents. 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 sixth year as an assistant coach at Navy in 2011-12, where his focus centers on the throwing and pole vault events. During his tenure at Navy, Sarigiannis has helped four throwers qualify for the NCAA East Regionals, including three athletes in three different events in 2011. 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. During the 2011 outdoor track season the throws squad won three of four Patriot League throwing event titles by winning the shot put, discus, hammer and placing second in the javelin. Freshman Lauren Allam won the Patriot League title in the discus, smashing the conference record by seven feet and earning the rookie of the meet award. Junior Amanda Phelps was a double winner in the shot put and hammer throw, which earned her the Patriot League Field-Athlete of the Meet award. Both Amanda Phelps and Lauren Allam, along with freshman javelin thrower Alix Membreno qualified for the 2011 NCAA East Regional Championships. 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 coaching the throwers and distance runners while assisting with the cross country. He was also responsible for the fall training of the sprinters, jumpers and hurdlers, and spearheaded the recruitment of all track & field athletes. Sarigiannis' athletes broke over 100 school records with 23 NCAA qualifiers, 28 conference Champions, four of which hold conference records and 94 ECAC/IC4A qualifiers. In 2005 the Colonial lady throwing squad scored 74 points at the conference championship in just four throwing events to give their team two-thirds of its total team points. 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 12 varsity 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 and recruited the throwing events. In his short time with the cardinals he coached three MAC champions and in 2001, he coached Zach Riley to NCAA All-American honors in the hammer throw. During his coaching career, Sarigiannis has guided three Olympic Trial qualifiers, three NCAA Division I All-Americans, 32 NCAA qualifiers, seven USATF national Qualifiers and two Senior Olympic qualifiers. Sarigiannis also coaches post-collegiate shot putter Tyler Blatchley who has finished as high 7th at the USA National Championships. The product of Cicero, N.Y., Sarigiannis was a four-year letter winner 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. Sarigiannis was part of the first three UNCW Colonial Athletic Conference championship teams including their first team title in school history where they defeated the 1996 indoor NCAA Champions George Mason University. The two-time 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 25th year as an assistant track coach in 2011-12. 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 enjoyed much success as Navy's cross country coach, guiding her teams to a 123-20 (.860) mark over her career. During Boyle's tenure, six 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, Amy Watson in 2008 and most recently Jess Palacio in 2011. Boyle led the cross country team to the 2011 Patriot League Championship, her third since 2007 and has been named the Patriot League Cross Country Coach of the Year three times. 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 The Navy women's track and field team is coming off a strong season and is returning the bulk of its top performers for the 201112 season. Navy was dominant in winning the 2011 Patriot League Indoor Championship; besting second-place Bucknell by 40 points and the team swept the Army-Navy Star Meet for the third straight year. The Mids bring back 15 athletes who earned All-Patriot League honors last season, six athletes that earned ECAC All-East accolades and four that competed in the NCAA's East Regional. With the talent that Navy is returning, the team should be a favorite to repeat as indoor league champions and will remain a contender on the regional and national scene. Head coach Carla Criste is entering her 21st leading the Navy program. Criste has been tabbed as the Patriot League Indoor Coach of the Year for each of the past three seasons and will once again be joined by assistants Karen Boyle (distance) and Steven Sarigiannis (throws). "I think the team is pretty well-rounded and well-seasoned in most of the events this year," Criste said. "We are two or three deep and I think we will hold up pretty well in both the dual meet and championship scenarios. As long as everyone stays healthy and on track, this should be one of our best years." Sprints Senior Mansfield Murph has competed in every event from the 60m dash to the 800m run and is Navy's top returner in the 400m and 500m. Murph earned ECAC All-East honors in the 500m and took first place in the event at the Patriot League Indoor Championship. Murph will serve as the team's indoor captain. "Mansfield just has an incredible ability to bring everyone together as a unit," head coach Carla Criste said. "She's an all-inclusive type of person. She always has a positive leadership style and has a true can-do, optimist attitude, which I think is contagious for everybody on the team. So far she's really helped start us off on a positive winning note." Junior Arabia Littlejohn captured the 400m title (57.32) at the Patriot League Indoor Championship last year. She also ran the fastest preliminary time (25.44) in the 200m at the league meet, before settling for fourth in the finals. Littlejohn also clocked the team's top 200m time of the outdoor season (25.80). Sophomore Veronica Ffrench only competed on the outdoor track and field squad, as she was a member of the volleyball team in the fall and the women's basketball team in the winter. Ffrench impressed in the 200m last spring in limited action and her 26.07 was the team's second-fastest outdoor time, behind Littlejohn. Ffrench will be competing in both the indoor and outdoor seasons for Navy this season. Junior Jessica Ridgway has emerged as Navy's top performer in the short sprints. Ridgway's 7.89 in the 60m dash and her 12.33 in the 100m dash were both team bests last season. Ridgway scored
#
at the Patriot League Championships in both events. Junior Jenne Jolie will also be a key contributor in the short sprints. "Overall, we have a great corps of sprinters," said Criste. "We'll have Arabia back as a defending league champion and Veronica Ffrench has started out amazingly. Jenne Jolie has also been stepping up a lot in practice and looks super fit." Middle Distance Jess Palacio is already Navy's most decorated middle distance runner and she still has one more season to add to her impressive achievements. The senior, who was previously enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps for two-and-a-half years before coming to the Academy, will be a strong candidate to become Navy's first Division I athlete to advance to the NCAA Track and Field Championship. Palacio has been named the Patriot League Track-Athlete of the Meet at each of the last three league meets, she has won seven career individual league titles, earned three ECAC All-East honors and competed in two NCAA East Regional meets. Additionally, she owns Navy school records in the 800m (both indoor and outdoor), the 1,500m run and the mile run. Palacio has already been off to a banner senior season, winning the Patriot League Cross Country individual title in the fall and competing in the NCAA Cross Country Championships, where she placed 164th out of the nation's top 254 runners. Palacio narrowly missed earning bids to both the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field Championships in 2010-11. Palacio ran a 2:05.89 in the 800m during the indoor season, which placed her 20th on the national indoor performance list. The NCAA took

Distance Navy has a deep pool of distance runners returning for the 2011-12 season. Seniors Mollie Hebda and Katie Taylor are the veterans of the group. Taylor clocked Navy's top times in the 3,000m and the 5,000m last season and posted ECAC-qualifying times in both events during indoor. Hebda also competed well in the indoor season, qualifying for the ECACs in the 3,000m and senior Marina McGrail will also be counted on in the distance events. "We expect good things out of Katie Taylor," said Criste. "She definitely wants to go to back to ECACs and make All-East." Junior Brigid Byrne had a breakout sophomore season in track and field. Byrne took second place in the 10,000m at the outdoor league meet to earn All-Patriot League Second Team honors. She qualified for the ECACs in the 10,000m and the indoor 5,000m. She also scored and was Navy's top finisher (3rd) in the 5K at the indoor league meet. "Brigid was very exciting at the Patriot League Cross Country Championships in the 6K," said Criste. "She is off to a very strong
#
start this year and she will segue into a great leadership role next year." Byrne placed ninth at the Patriot League Cross Country Championships to earn All-Patriot League Second Team honors. A number of athletes mentioned previously as middle distance runners will also compete in the longer distance runs. Hurdles Senior Ashley Aitken returns after being Navy's top sprint hurdler last season. Aitken placed second at the Patriot League Indoor Championship in the 60m hurdles, marking the second time she earned All-Patriot League Second Team honors. Aitken also posted Navy's season-best time in the 100m hurdles during the outdoor season. "Ashley has an incredible amount of potential," said Criste. "If we can have her healthy, we could see some great things with her speed and tenacity." Junior Kristin Smith returns as Navy's top performer in the outdoor 400m hurdles and seniors Lauren Carson and Amanda Bonilla, and junior Caitlyn Fine will provide depth to the event. Jumps With four scorers back in the high jump from last season's outdoor Patriot League meet, Navy will once again look to pick up solid points in the event all season long. Junior Kristin Smith won the Patriot League Indoor high jump title last season and is a former ECAC All-East performer in the event. Senior Christine Scales placed second in the high jump during the indoor season last year and won a title of her own in 2009. Junior Melanie Sluzewicz earned a pair of All-Patriot League Second Team honors last season by taking at least a share of second place in the high jump during the indoor and outdoor seasons. Sophomore Veronica Ffrench took fourth in the high jump at the outdoor league meet. "I'm very excited about the high jump," said Criste. "Melanie, Kristin and Veronica have all cleared 5-7 in practice this year and all three should qualify early for ECACs. The competitiveness in those high jump practices has been awesome. They get after it. They are teammates, but they are very competitive with each other, and we will have a very exciting year in the high jump." Junior Jordan Kronshage will join Scales as Navy's top returners in the pole vault and freshman Amanda Graham is expected to be a key contributor in the event in her first season at the collegiate level. The Mids will move forward without their top long jump and triple jumper from a year ago in Ashley Bucholz. Bucholz placed second in the long jump at the outdoor league meet with a school record performance of 19-5½ (5.93m). Sluzewicz will be counted on to contribute in the long jump and Criste has a number of athletes looking to emerge in the triple jump.

16 competitors in the 800m and the last time in was a 2:05.68. In the outdoor season, Palacio competed in the 800m at the NCAA East Regional, where she won her heat in the first round of the event. Palacio then placed 13th in what was the national quarterfinals. Only the top 12 finishers from the region advanced to the NCAA Outdoor Championship, as Palacio missed a bid by one place. "I think Jess is completely determined this year to make it to the NCAA Championship in all three seasons this year after getting so close last season," said Criste. "She's already attained her goal in cross country and her true passion is the 800m in indoor track. We'd love for her to achieve All-American before she graduates and she stands a really good chance to do that." In addition to Palacio, Navy will have junior Liz Milewski as a solid competitor in the middle distance events. Milewski was right behind Palacio in the mile at the Army-Navy indoor Star Meet as the duo took 1-2 in the event. Milewski also took third in the 3,000m run at the indoor league meet. Rookies Shannon Cuthbert and Annie-Norah Beveridge will also compete in the mid-distance and distance events. "We are really excited about Annie-Norah Beveridge and Shannon Cuthbert," said Criste. "There is a lot of speed and its great that the freshmen are being mentored by Jess. Jess is also working really synergistically with Mollie Hebda and Liz Milewski. They set a really good pack and the underclassmen are trying to surpass them." Cuthbert is the daughter of Stefani Green, a mid-distance AllAmerican for Navy at the Division II level in the 1980s. The middle distance runners, along with the distance runners led Navy to a Patriot League Cross Country team championship in the fall, under the direction of assistant track coach and head cross country coach Karen Boyle.

N AV Y W O M E N ’ S T R A C K & F I E L D Throws Navy's throwers will represent one of the team's strongest units in the 2011-12 season, after returning three NCAA East Regional qualifiers. Senior Amanda Phelps leads the way and will serve as the outdoor season team captain and Lauren Allam and Alix Membreno return after sensational freshmen campaigns. Phelps achieved a number of impressive feats last season, which include being named the Patriot League Outdoor Championship Field-Athlete of the Meet, earning ECAC All-East honors, winning three Patriot League individual titles and competing in the hammer throw at the NCAA East Regional. Phelps took league titles in the weight throw, hammer throw and shot put. Phelps also won the weight throw in the first six meets she competed in during the indoor season before taking 12th at the ECAC Championship. "Amanda is a natural leader and has a very strong work ethic and people feed off of her determination, diligence and dedication," said Criste. "The intensity has been wonderful in the weight room this year, in large part due to her getting in there and showing them how its done. She always comes in to practice and just gets it done succinctly with good intensity." Lauren Allam dominated the outdoor season in the discus event. Allam won the Patriot League discus title with a new Navy and league championship meet record of 165-7 (50.49m). Allam was tabbed as the Patriot League Outdoor Championship Rookie of the Meet for her efforts and went on to earn ECAC All-East honors and competed in the NCAA East Regional. Alix Membreno took second in the javelin at the league championship meet, earned ECAC All-East honors and competed in the NCAA East Regional with Allam and Phelps. Membreno came over to the outdoor track and field team after helping lead the Navy women's basketball team to a Patriot League title and berth in the NCAA Tournament. Navy also has two more talented throwers in sophomore Teronda Brown and senior Ella Starr. Brown scored at the Patriot League Indoor Championship by placing third in the shot put and Starr was fourth in the hammer at the outdoor league meet. Freshman Katelyn Stoltenburg will also look to contribute to the throwing events. "We will just crush the throws this year," Criste said. "Those kids are about as prepared as they will ever be and [assistant coach] Steven Sarigiannis has done an amazing job. It will be very exciting." Sarigiannis enters his sixth season at Navy with what might be the deepest pool he has coached to date. Multi-Events Senior Arian Davis has been the highlight of Navy's multi-events for the past three seasons. Davis won the pentathlon at the Patriot League Indoor Championship last season and followed that by earning ECAC All-East honors in the heptathlon during the outdoor season. Additionally, Davis has placed second in the heptathlon at
#
the league's outdoor meet in each of her first three seasons. "Arian has been working her butt off," said Criste. "She is focused and has been getting after it at practice. She really wants to defend her league title in the pentathlon and hopefully put her name in the school record books." Relays Navy won both the 4x400m and the 4x800m relay titles at the 2011 Patriot League Indoor Championship. The 4x800m team of Milewski, Erin Neumann ('11), Murph and Palacio set a Navy record with a time of 8:59.78. The 4x400m team of Colleen McFadden, Smith, Murph and Littlejohn took first place with a time of 3:53.91. Ffrench joined Littlejohn, Murph and Palacio on the outdoor 4x400m team that took second at the Patriot League meet. The Mids will also return all four of its 4x100m team from a year ago in Ridgway, Ffrench, Smith and Littlejohn. With so much returning talent, Navy's relay teams will remain a strength of the team in 2011-12. Schedule As usual, the highlight of Navy's schedule is the Army-Navy Star Meet. Navy will host the indoor Star Meet on February 4 and the Mids will travel to West Point on April 7 for the outdoor meet. Navy defeated Army easily in both the indoor (103.5-77.5) and outdoor (129-73) meets last season for its third straight sweep of Army. Navy has defeated Army for the indoor Star six straight times. Navy will be home in the Wesley A. Brown Field House during the indoor season on Dec. 4 for the Navy Invitational and Jan. 28 for the Distance Classic. The Mids will host the Sweetheart Meet on Feb. 9, five days after the Army-Navy meet. A new meet on the schedule this season is the USA Track and Field National Championships in Albuquerque, N.M. on Feb. 2526. Navy will send its top athletes to the competition to go up against some of the best in the country. The Mids will try to win a second straight Patriot League Indoor Championship from Feb. 17-19 at Bucknell. The ECAC Indoor Championship will be held in Boston from March 3-4 and the NCAA Indoor Championships will be hosted by Boise State, March 9-10. Navy will open the outdoor schedule at Ingram Field with its only home meet of the spring, on March 24, as the team welcomes in four schools for the Navy Invitational. Navy will compete locally at the Terrapin Invitational at College Park on March 31 and at the Hopkins Invitational in Baltimore on April 14. Navy will also be at the Larry Ellis Invitational (April 20-21) and the Penn Relays (April 26). The 2012 Patriot League Outdoor Championships will be hosted by Holy Cross May 4-5. The Outdoor ECAC Championships will be held in Princeton and the NCAA's East Regional will be held in Jacksonville, Fla. The 2012 NCAA Outdoor Championships will be held in Des Moines, Iowa from June 6-9.

The Navy women's track and field team won the 2011 Patriot League Indoor Championship and sent four athletes to the NCAA's East Regional to cap off a very successful season. The Mids won nine events and amassed 157 team points to easily capture the program's third indoor title and Carla Criste was named the Patriot League Indoor coach of the Year for the third straight season. Navy also completed a third consecutive Star Meet sweep of Army. Navy defeated Army, 103.5-77.5, for its sixth straight indoor Star and 129-73 in the outdoor season. The 56-point margin of victory in the outdoor Star was the largest ever for Navy in the series. Navy was also 19-1 in duals during the indoor season and 3-0 in outdoor competition. Jess Palacio was named the Patriot League Track-Athlete of the Meet at both the indoor and outdoor league meets. Palacio won the 800m, mile and 4x800m titles during the indoor league meet and the 800m and 1,500m at the outdoor meet. Palacio set new Patriot League Championship records in the outdoor 800m and indoor mile and she now holds school records in the 800m (indoor and outdoor), mile run and 1,500m. Palacio competed in the NCAA's East Regional in the 800m, placing 13th and just missing the top-12 cut for the NCAA Championship. Palacio was joined at the regional by Amanda Phelps (hammer), Lauren Allam (discus) and Alix Membreno (javelin). All four athletes also earned ECAC All-East honors, along with Mansfield Murph (500m) and Arian Davis (Heptathlon). Phelps won both the hammer throw and the shot put at the Patriot League Outdoor Championship and earned Patriot League Field-Athlete of the Meet honors. Phelps also won the indoor weight throw title. Allam set a new Patriot League Championship record in the discus at the outdoor meet en route to earning Patriot League Rookie of the Meet accolades. Allam also became the school record-holder in the discus throw and Ashley Bucholz set the school record in the outdoor long jump. The 4x800m relay team of Palacio, Murph, Erin Neumann and Liz Milewski set a new record in the event during the indoor season. Brigid Byrne was named to the Patriot League All-Academic team for the cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field seasons and earned AllPatriot League Second Team honors in the 10,000m.

Built facing the scenic Severn River, the Wesley A. Brown Field House is a 140,000-square-foot multi-function athletic facility that has served as the home for the Naval Academy’s track & field program, since 2008. 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.

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.
w w w. N AV Y S P O RT S . c o m
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.

23 of Navy’s 32 varsity sports have the potential to take part in the Army-Navy rivalry each year.
The annual showdown between the two rivals in each sport is deemed the Star Game with the players from the winning team receiving a Star for their lettersweaters. For those sports that face Army multiple times in a season, the Star Game is designated prior to the start of the year.

As the undergraduate college of the Naval service, the Naval Academy prepares young men and women to become professional officers and leaders 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 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 23 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 responsibilities 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 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:-

N AV Y W O M E N ’ S T R A C K & F I E L D 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 Blue Angels perform an air show along the Severn River on the northern bank of the Academy each spring during 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 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.
The Navy football team gathered for the traditional singing of the Blue & Gold following its win over Army in 2010, its ninth-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.
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.

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 his 11th 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. In 2010-11, Navy won 63 percent of its contests and claimed the overall series against Army for the 18th time in the last 19 years. Navy produced nine All-Americans, 11 conference athletes of the year, nine conference coaches of the year and 11 conference championships. The Mids also excelled in the classroom, ranking No. 4 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 five Academic All-Americans, four Patriot League Scholar Athletes of the Year and an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winner. Six of the top 15 Naval Academy graduates and 28 of the top 100 graduates in the Class of 2011 were involved with varsity or club athletics. The football team had another successful season in 2010, posting a 9-4 record and playing in a school-record eighth-consecutive bowl game. The Mids beat Army for a series-record ninth-consecutive year and defeated Notre Dame for the third time in four seasons. Other teams who flourished in 2010-11 included the women’s basketball team winning the Patriot League Championship and advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history; the rifle team placed seventh at the NCAA Championship; the women’s lacrosse team advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second-straight season; intercollegiate sailing placed ninth at the ICSA Nationals; the baseball team won the Patriot League Regular Season and Tournament titles and participated in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2002; while the water polo, men’s cross country, men’s swimming & diving, men’s indoor track & field, women’s indoor track & field and women’s rowing all won conference titles. 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 ports Network that has increased
Navy’s television exposure both in the United States and internationally. CBS 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-on-demand 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 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 feder-

al 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 NavyMarine 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, Cindy Timchal, the all-time winningest women’s lacrosse coach in NCAA history, Stefanie Pemper, one of the all-time winningest Division III women’s basketball coaches, Dave Brandt, the all-time winningest soccer coach in NCAA history, Larry Bock, the all-time winningest coach in collegiate volleyball history, Ed DeChellis, the 2009 Big Ten Basketball Coach of the Year at Penn State, and Rick Sowell, who was a two-time America East Coach of the Year. During Gladchuk’s tenure at the Naval Academy, he has seen the Midshipmen win 75 conference titles, produce 137 All-Americans and 48 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 often-requested 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 former 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 during 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, Armed Forces and Military 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 helps 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 spends much of its time planning for the future of Division I and helps 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.

From outreach opportunities such as autograph sessions following athletic events, to working with underprivileged youths, 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 2010-11 academic year.
FOOTBALL While in San Diego, Calif., prior to the Poinsettia Bowl, several members of the football team attended a Make-AWish Foundation event where players and coaches spent time with the kids and their families. The bowl game and Make-A-Wish Foundation of San Diego benefit from a strong partnership as more than 500 members of “Wish Families”, including wish children, their parents and siblings, attended the game as special guests.
Seniors Andre Byrd and Ricky Dobbs took time to speak with students at several area schools. Byrd addressed students at Mount St. Joseph High School in Baltimore where he talked about the obstacles he overcame in his life to become a midshipman and a member of the Navy football team.
As he did throughout his career, Dobbs continued to make several appearances at local schools last year, explaining the importance of doing your best in school and following your dreams.
The team also continued the tradition of inviting ill and special needs children and their families to practices.
MEN’S & WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Both the men’s and women’s teams combined to hold free skills clinics for local youths. Assistant coaches and players from both teams provided instruction to over 200 kids from the Annapolis area.
The Navy men’s basketball team was out in full force, volunteering for the 2011 Maryland Special Olympics and then providing area youth with a skills clinic. The team has done a number of community-service events in the past, whether it’s conducting free camps, volunteering for the Special Olympics or speaking to groups of local youth. Members of the men's basketball team also volunteered their time at the St. John's Episcopal School's Field Day, playing basketball with many of the youth and setting up drills and contests for the kids.

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.

Now in its third decade as an all-sport conference combining academic and athletic excellence, the Patriot League sponsors championships in 23 men and women’s sports. Initially started as an NCAA Division I-AA football conference in 1986, the Patriot League became an all-sport conference in 1990 and includes American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh and Navy as full members, and Fordham, Georgetown and MIT as associate members. These institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation and their alumni have and continue to play leadership roles in shaping our country.
Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked first each year among all Division I conferences awarding athletic aid in the NCAA Graduation Rate Report. The League finished at the top spot with nearly all of its teams reporting a graduation rate of 85 percent or higher in the most recent data. In addition, 82 teams from Patriot League full-member institutions earned NCAA Academic Performance Program Public Recognition Awards after posting academic progress rate scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports.
The Patriot League’s mission is simple, to provide successful competitive athletic experiences while maintaining high academic standards, and to prepare its student-athletes to be leaders in society.

The Naval Academy Athletic Association is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization charged with providing resources to support 45 varsity and junior varsity programs offered by the Naval Academy. The NAAA operates with the guidance of the Naval Academy’s Board of Control, whose members report to the Superintendent of the United State Naval Academy.

Over 90 percent of funding support for the NAAA programs is through external sources of revenue (i.e. Blue & Gold memberships, ticket sales, corporate sponsorship, television revenue, parking, etc.). Less than 10 percent of the operating budget for the varsity and junior varsity programs is provided by the Academy via government funding.

B ecoming a Blue & Gold member is the
best way to secure tickets to the games. Season ticket holders that are Blue & Gold members receive top priority when it comes to location of seats.
