Head Coach 20th Year at Navy Washington ’71 Record at Navy: 212-206 (.507)
Dr. Sho Fukushima, a tenured professor in Physical Education, has guided the Navy gymnastics program for the past 19 seasons with class, honor and dignity. The numbers -- both academically and athletically -- that have been produced during Fukushima’s tenure speak for themselves. In the classroom, Fukushima has produced 37 Academic All-America honors, and in the athletic arena, he has coached the Mids to a total of 35 NCAA Championship qualifying performances. “When I first arrived at the Naval Academy, there was no organization at all in the program,” Fukushima said. “I was determined to change everything in the program and have it fit my liking. It took nearly three years, but I was finally able to blend Midshipmen who excelled in the classroom and in the athletic arena.” Last season, Fukushima mentored Dylan Parrott to an appearance in the high bar finals at the NCAA Championships. In 2009, he guided the Mids to one of their finest seasons since taking over the reigns, as they finished with an impressive 15-4 record and coached Navy to a NStar victory at Army, in addition to its second-straight All-Academy Championship. The Midshipmen also earned their first trip as a team to the NCAA Qualifying Meet. The accomplishments of his athletes at Navy has also brought him much deserved individual recognition as well. In 1997-98, 1999-00, 2004-05 and 2007-08, Fukushima was named Coach of the Year by the National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches (NACGC) and was named Men’s Team Coach of the Year by USA Gymnastics. He was also named East Region Coach of the Year by the coaches’ association and, two years ago, was honored as the ECAC Coach of the Year. “The individual awards are nice, but what is special when some of my former gymnasts have returned and finally thanked me for what I was able to do for them when they were here,” he added. “That is what makes coaching special.” Fukushima, who owns a 212-206 (.507) all-time record, came to Navy in 1991 after coaching in several places around the world. He began his gymnastics career in Japan and moved onto other places, including the Montreal Olympics and the Verna World Championships. He has coached five Olympians and five USA National Team members. He has also published two books on gymnastics in Sweden and England, in addition to writing numerous articles in Europe, Japan and the United States. Fukushima graduated from Washington with a B.A. and M.S., and completed his Ph.D. at California in 1984. He earned the Pac-8 Conference Scholar-Athlete-of-theYear award in 1971, while also achieving All-America status. He was Pac-10 Coach of the Year at California three times (1984,‘87,‘89) and was also NCAA Western Region Coach of the Year in 1980.
Tinkham and Ingram Earn All-America Scholar-Athlete Accolades
Juniors Brandon Tinkham and Aaron Ingram were both recognized for their efforts in the classroom last season as each was named to the College Gymnastics Association’s All-America Scholar-Athlete second-team. Tinkham, a computer engineering major, and Ingram, a systems engineering major, both garnered secondteam honors. As a team, Navy ranked 13th nationally in team GPA - two spots ahead of where they ranked last season.

Craig Holt will enter his 12th year at the Naval Academy in 2011. Holt brings a wealth of experience and knowledge in the sport of gymnastics as both a former athlete and assistant coach. “Navy is a program built on maximizing individual achievement for the good of the team’s success,” Holt said. “As a team, our training is intense, consistent and scientific. This model helps us develop a strong base of physical gymnastics skill, mental preparation and a strong character.” Last season, Holt helped guide Dylan Parrott to the high bar finals at the NCAA Championships. In 2009, Holt assisted in helping the Midshipmen to a memorable season, as they finished with an impressive 15-4 record and a N-Star victory at Army. In addition, the Mids won their second-straight All-Academy Championship, placed second at the ECAC Championship and advanced as a team to the NCAA Qualifying Meet for the first time in program history. His efforts in the gym have not gone unrecognized, as he was named the 2007 NCAA East Region Assistant Coach of the Year, 2006 and ’08 USAG Collegiate Division Assistant Coach of the Year, 2007 ECAC Assistant Coach of the Year and 2007 CGA Regional Co-Assistant Coach of the Year.
During the summer of 2005, Holt coached the United States team in the 2005 Maccabiah Games in Israel. Holt guided the United States to a second-place team finish with gold medal performances in the floor exercise and pommel horse. In addition to his coaching duties, Holt also served as a judge at the Maccabiah Games. Holt came to the Academy after serving as an assistant coach for one season at William & Mary and two years at his alma mater, Syracuse. Holt’s commitment to the Navy program in and out of the gym was recognized in 2003 as he was named the ECAC Assistant Coach of the Year. “I would like all of our athletes to leave the Naval Academy knowing that they have the tools to not only meet, but exceed all that is expected of them,” he added. “They should have a strong sense of confidence and accomplishment as they begin their careers.” As a gymnast, Holt was an NCAA finalist on the rings in 1994. He is a 1995 graduate of Syracuse, where he earned a degree in physical education. Holt earned his master’s degree in exercise physiology from Syracuse in the summer of 2002.
SEASON PREVIEW
Led by two outstanding returners in senior Dylan Parrott and junior Andrew Faulk, the Navy gymnastics team will look to return to the upper echelon of the ECAC in 2011. Just two years removed from competing as a team at the NCAA Championship Qualifying Meet, the Midshipmen’s hopes for 2011 are largely based around their two leaders.

“The 2011 Navy gymnastics team will be known to fire the one and two torpedoes. Certainly other arsenals from the team are as powerful as these torpedoes,” said head coach Sho Fukushima, who will be entering his 20th season at Navy in 2011. A year after graduating six seniors in 2009, Parrott and Faulk emerged as Navy’s most decorated and dominant forces last season. Both Parrott and Faulk competed at the NCAA Qualifying Meet in 2010, with Parrott advancing all the way to the NCAA Championship high bar finals. “Both Dylan and Andrew should not only be leading the rest of the team during the dual meet season, but at the end of the season as well,” said Fukushima. “They should be two of the best all-around performers in the ECAC.” After a solid 2009, in which he was Navy’s top scorer on the high bar in seven of the eight meets in which he competed, Parrott further improved as he placed first on six occasions in the event in 2010. At the USAG Collegiate Division Championship, Parrott won the high bar for the second consecutive season, and also took home first place in the floor exercise. He also captured first place in the floor exercise at the ECAC Championship. Parrott’s successful season earned him a trip to the NCAA Qualifying Meet where he competed in the floor exercise, vault, parallel bars and high bar. Competing with some of the best in the nation, Parrott advanced to the NCAA Championship finals in the high bar and placed 10th, narrowly missing All-America honors. “Dylan has continually shown that he is a great competitor and one of the best High Bar men in the country,” said Fukushima. “His abilities were validated with two big high bar routines at the NCAA Championships. With the NCAA finals fresh in his mind, he will bring those experiences into this season with the thirst for greater personal success and the desire to lead his team as the captain.”

Equally as impressive as Parrott in 2010 was Faulk. He won a total of four all-around titles last season, including at the Navy Open and Springfield Tri-Meet. Faulk earned a medal (fourth place) in the all-around at the USAG Collegiate Division Championships and went on to medal at the ECAC Championships in the vault (second place) and high bar (third place). Like Parrott, he was also selected to compete in the all-around at the NCAA Qualifying Meet where his best finish came in the allaround (eighth). “Andrew is a workhorse; he led the team with the highest all around score in every meet we competed in last year,” said Fukushima. “His leadership contribution goes beyond the scores he put up each week. Andrew is the gymnast who is always taking extra turns on each event during practice, while continually supporting his teammates with technical advice or words of motivation.” While Parrott and Faulk may be the favorites to lead the team, the supporting cast will largely determine the success of the Midshipmen as a whole.With just eight student-athletes on the roster, including five freshmen or sophomores, the experience of Parrot, Faulk and fellow juniors Brandon Tinkham and Aaron Ingram will be extremely valuable. “The team may be small in size, but each member is totally committed to devoting themselves toward the team’s excellence,” said Fukushima. “Brandon and Aaron have steadily been improving by mastering their personal skills and also adding some more difficulties into their routines. It’s not exaggerating to say that these two individuals are the dark horses in the 2011 race.” Tinkham competed in every meet last season in the still rings, parallel bars and high bar. Out of all the events he competed in at last season’s championships, his best finishes came in the still rings, where he placed 17th and 10th at the USAG and ECAC Championships, respectively. Ingram was also a valuable contributor in 2010 as he competed in the all-around in every meet last season. His highest finish in the event came against William & Mary, where he took fourth place. He placed ninth at the USAG Championships and 13th at the ECAC Championships.

“A lone sophomore gymnast, Austin Zalik, may be the fireplug of the team,” said Fukushima. “He will be including his unique strength and power accompanying many of the skills into his routines.” Despite being just a sophomore, Zalik brings experience as he competed in the all-around in every meet last season. His best finish of the season was third-place against William & Mary and he went on to take seventh at the USAG Championships and 12th at the ECAC Championships. Navy’s freshman class includes Nate Gessner, Chris Junghans and John Parks Dylan Parrott
“Our three freshmen are all capable and experienced gymnasts,” Fukushima said. “All of us are very excited about their progress and looking forward to their contribution to the 2011 Navy gymnastics team.” Junghans won 2010 Maryland state championships in the all-around, pommel horse, floor and parallel bars and has significant Junior Olympic Nationals experience. Like Junghans, Parks also has Junior Olympic Nationals experience, having competed in the event five consecutive years (2006-10). Gessner, a Circle Pines, Minn., native, competed for Midwest Gymnastics. Navy will open the 2011 campaign with the West Point Open on Jan. 1415, before hosting the Navy Open on Jan. 22. The Mids will then travel to Springfield College on Feb. 4 before heading back to West Point, N.Y., to face Army in the Star Meet on Feb. 12. After competing in the 2011 All-Academy Championships in Laguna Hills, Calif., on Feb. 20, the Mids will take part in three consecutive dual meets. Navy will host William & Mary on Feb. 27 and then complete the home-and-home with a return trip to Williamsburg, Va., to take on the Tribe on March 6. Navy will meet Temple in Philadelphia, Pa., in its last dual of the season on March 19. The USAG Collegiate Division Championships will take place March 25-26, followed by the ECAC Championships April 2-3. “As usual, the race within our conference will be very tight this season,” Fukushima said. “Illinois-Chicago and Temple may be ranked as the top-two teams in the conference, and Army, Springfield,William & Mary and Navy may be scrambling for the rest of the positions.”

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 full-time basis.
Additionally, sprint football players Tyler Hawkins ('10) and Ian Cameron ('12) were among 10 midshipmen selected for a U.S. Department of State Critical Language Scholarship, which will allow for them to study Arabic this summer in Egypt and Jordan, respectively.
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.
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 2009-10 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.

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:-

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.

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.

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.
