Ten USA Gymnastics Collegiate All-American designations, three of which were national titles, highlighted the past season for the William and Mary men’s gymnastics team. Derek Gygax who graduated with a degree in biology and is now working on an advanced degree in genetic research won both the all around and pommel horse titles on his way to receiving the USAG Outstanding Senior Gymnast Award. He also earned All-American designation on floor exercise, rings, parallel bars and high bar to finish his career with an incredible total of 12 USAG Collegiate All-American designations. Steve Deutsch was the national champion on the rings while also earning an All-American award on the pommel horse. Senior co-captain Andy Hunter earned a second All-American certificate with his bronze medal finish on floor exercise to go with his previous year’s certificate on the parallel bars. Sophomore Vince Smurro took home the silver medal on the high bar while just missing USAG Collegiate All-American designation on the parallel bars with a seventh place finish.

Since 1990

As has been well documented throughout this brochure, one needs to look no further than the squad’s 2008 season to see a perfect demonstration of the program’s balance in all phases, as the Tribe recorded a school-record tying 11th-place finish at the NCAA Championships and claimed its fourth Scholastic National Championship by recording the nation’s highest GPA among men’s gymnastics programs. In the gym, Tribe gymnasts have earned an incredible 162 USA Gymnastics Collegiate All-America honors and 193 All-East accolades. Gauthier’s team’s have captured 13 USA Gymnastics Collegiate National Titles and a combined nine league titles. Most importantly, the success doesn’t stop after graduation, as the program can show that nearly 33 percent of William and Mary men’s gymnastics graduates (47 of 143) since 1974 have gone on to become Physicians or Business Executives, including CEOs, CFOs, and Vice Presidents of companies.

THE DAVE BROWN MEMORIAL ENDOWMENT As a result of the loss of the Columbia, the Astronaut David Brown Memorial Endowment has been established to ensure that there will always be an opportunity for true scholar-athletes to utilize the medium of gymnastics for personal growth with emphasis on excellence and learning how to be a good teammate for a lifetime. This endowment will be used to defer expenses required to conduct a competitive intercollegiate men’s gymnastics program at Dave Brown’s Alma mater, William and Mary. Ultimately the endowment will seek to provide scholarship money to carry on the astronaut’s legacy and to provide an endowed men’s gymnastics coaching position at the College in Dave’s memory. This coaching position will encourage student-athletes to follow their dreams, and when following those dreams to pursue them with complete honesty, dignity, and integrity. The coach will serve to invest in people for a lifetime. Contributions should be made to the address listed in the shaded box to the below.

The presence of assistant coach Pete Walker has helped give a constant stability to William and Mary gymnastics during his 15 year tenure. Coach Walker’s selection as the 2008 assistant coach of the year at both the ECAC and USA Gymnastics Collegiate Championships continued an award winning tradition that started during Pete’s undergraduate years at William and Mary where he was one of the only two gymnasts to have twice received the coveted “Mister Award”. Each year this award is given to the gymnast who, in the eyes of his teammates, is most inspirational to and responsible for the character and success of the team.

At a recent William and Mary Commencement, Cliff Gauthier was presented with the prestigious Thomas Ashley Graves, Jr. Award for Sustained Excellence in Teaching by the president of the university. “The Graves award recognizes faculty diverse in their expertise but uniform in their dedication to helping students find the very best in themselves. For his work establishing the standard of excellence for William and Mary athletics-and for reminding us that great universities comprise great teachers across the campus-the college is honored to present the Graves Award to Cliff Gauthier.” Coach Gauthier has also received the Honor Coach Award presented by the College Gymnastics Association which reads, “In recognition of his service in coaching and developing gymnastics for over twenty-five years, Cliff Gauthier has gained the respect of his associates in the gymnastics world by his inspiring example and accomplishments.”

Entering his 38th year at William and Mary, head coach Cliff Gauthier is riding an impressive streak of 13 College Gymnastics Association Collegiate Coach of the Year selections in the past 17 years. Since 1992, coach Gauthier has also produced six Nissen-Emery Award finalists, two NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners plus two NCAA national champions and one runner-up. Including dual meets, opens, and invitationals, coach Gauthier’s teams have compiled a 755-292-1 record during his tenure on the William and Mary campus. His gymnasts have earned 163 USA Gymnastics Collegiate All-America awards. The 1994-1997, 1999, and 2001-2007, and 2009 teams won the USA Gymnastics Collegiate Nationals while the 1991, 1992, 2002, and 2008 teams won the College Gymnastics Association’s National Academic Team Title. The 1994, 2000, 2001, 2003, and 2009 teams finished second in the national academic team standings. As individuals, William and Mary gymnasts have earned more Academic AllAmerica designations in men’s gymnastics than gymnasts from any other university. Excellence of the scholar-athlete is the heart of the William and Mary program.

MAX SABERT Senior

MATTHEW HOLMES Senior

ANDY HUNTER Senior

Ellis finished last season as the team’s second leading point scorer, behind the USA Gymnastics Collegiate Gymnast of the Year, Derek Gygax, who won national titles in both the all around and on the pommel horse at last year’s USA Gymnastics Collegiate Championship. Hunter, a USAG Collegiate All-American on floor exercise and parallel bars, finished third in team points scored last season and is ready to put up big scores on the five events in which he currently ranks in the all-time top 10 records: 2nd on rings, 4th on parallel bars, 5th on high bar, 6th on pommel horse, and 7th on high bar. The consistent Ellis, who had the program’s top hit percentage last season, is the consummate team player as he is always ready to step up on any event when needed. He currently ranks 2nd on vaulting, 3rd on rings and 9th on floor exercise in our all time record book.

Senior Max Sabert is also a very prominent leader, both within the team and among the general campus population. In a vote conducted among representatives from all of the Tribe’s 23 athletic teams, Sabert was elected to serve as president of the Student Athletic Advisory Committee. Under his tenure the SAAC has significantly increased the impact of William and Mary’s student-athletes in both the W&M and the greater Williamsburg community through numerous service projects ranging from tutoring and mentoring in the local schools to fund raising projects benefiting local and national organizations. He also was the impetus behind our men’s gymnastics team’s winter break canned food drive that raised over 3500 pounds of food, blankets, and clothing for a local non-denominational, non-profit food bank in Williamsburg. For the past four years, fellow seniors Matt Holmes and Kyle Sneeden have been the academic leaders of among the team that has resulted in winning the 2008 national academic team championship as well as a second place finish in the 2009 national academic standings. Holmes has already earned three First-Team Scholastic All-American certificates from the College Gymnastics Association as well as three Provost Awards given to W&M student athletes who have over a 3.5 cumulative grade point average. He is also under consideration for being tapped by Phi Beta Kappa, which was founded by Thomas Jefferson during his years at William and Mary. In addition to earning two Provost Awards, Sneeden has twice been honored as First-Team Scholastic All-American.

The leadership of the senior class will play a very prominent role in the success of the 2011 William and Mary men’s gymnastics team. Each year the prestigious Rock Award is given to the hardest working gymnast who can always be counted on when the going gets tough. Last year senior Dave Ellis was the Rock recipient and the year before senior Andy Hunter received the Rock. Since both have been elected to serve as captains, the program is assured that hard work and grit under pressure will be a major component of the 2011 Tribe gymnasts.

strong commitment to undergraduate research. The College, which became a state university in 1906, has been designated a “Public Ivy,” and for nine straight years has been ranked by U.S. News & World Report as the sixthbest public university in the country – and the nation’s top small public university.

“William & Mary can make a good case for being the most selective public college in America. Its size . . . is ideal, the envy of a good many prestigious private colleges. Its setting and its own lush campus . . . provide the stuff calendars are made of. Its academic program . . . is no nonsense, followed by impressive placement in graduate schools and jobs.” Richard Moll, author of The Public Ivys: A Guide to America’s Best Public Undergraduate Colleges and Universities

DEREK COX ’09

Sandra Day O’Connor, who retired as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, was named twenty-third Chancellor of the College by the College of William and Mary Board of Visitors. Justice O’Connor’s appointment became effective at her April 2006 investiture; she succeeded Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, former United States Secretary of State, who was appointed in 2000. The post of Chancellor has been an important one since the College was chartered in 1693 by King William III and Queen Mary II of Great Britain. Until 1776, the Chancellor was an English subject – usually the Archbishop of Canterbury or the Bishop of London – who served as the College’s advocate to the crown, while a colonial president oversaw the day-to-day activities of the Williamsburg campus. Following the Revolutionary War, George Washington was appointed as the first American chancellor; later President John Tyler held the post. The first woman to serve on the United States Supreme Court, Justice O’Connor was born in El Paso, Texas, on March 26, 1930. She earned a B. A. in economics (magna cum laude) from Stanford University, and went on to receive an LL. B. from Stanford Law School, where she graduated third in her class. Her classmate, the late Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, graduated first in the class.

Under the steady guidance and watchful eye of Terry Driscoll, the William and Mary Athletics Department has solidified its standing as one of the nation’s preeminent broad-based programs. As Driscoll enters his 15th year as athletics director, he has overseen an unprecedented era of improvement in terms of funding and facilities while also maintaining the College’s rich history of producing well-rounded student-athletes. Driscoll oversees a program that is committed to balancing academic demands with athletic success. One of the department’s stated goals each year is to finish among the top 100 in the annual Director’s Cup rankings, which has happened in all but one of the years that Driscoll has been the director. In the last seven years, the Tribe’s program has combined for a total of 29 Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) titles. This past season, W&M claimed three CAA titles (Men’s and Women’s Cross Country and Women’s Track & Field). In 2002-03, W&M had a school-record 10 teams compete in the NCAA Tournament, with four teams winning conference titles and six that finished in the top 25 at the end of their respective seasons. Overall, no institution in the CAA can claim more alltime league championships than the 98 William and Mary has earned.

Established in 1948 to create support for William and Mary Athletics, the Tribe Club is made up of alumni and friends of the College’s athletics programs. Due to the fact that W&M receives no aid from the state for its sports programs, the Tribe Club is the sole provider of scholarships for William and Mary’s student-athletes. Additionally, money raised annually by the Tribe Club helps defray a portion of the operating expenses for program support.
