Christl Arena inside Holleder Center on the site of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point has been chosen as the host for the 68th NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships April 15-17. It marks the third time that the Academy has hosted the marquee event of the men’s intercollegiate gymnastics season. Army fi rst hosted this event in 1950 in Hayes Gymnasium inside what is known today as Arvin Gymnasium. Christl Arena and Holleder Center, cel-ebrating its 24th year as home to the Army Black Knights’ men’s and women’s basketball squads as well as men’s ice hockey program, is the site of two of college gymnastics’ most prestigious events. The 19th annual West Point Open, widely considered one of the most competitive gymnastics competitions on the East Coast, will take place at Christl Arena Jan. 15-16. Army has never won a team title at the NCAAs. However, the Black Knights did fi nish runner-up to Illinois in 1939 behind a stellar performance by senior team captain Robert Sears. The Black Knights have crowned six NCAA individual champions, including Sears a school-record three times. The former All-American, who would later escape from his captors as a prisoner of war dur-ing World War II, won national championships in high bar and rope climb in 1938 and on parallel bars in 1939. Other Army national champions include Ray Belardi (rope climb in 1939), John Claybrooke (rope climb in 1952) and Jon Aaronsohn (fl ying rings in 1960). Army’s gymnastics squad qualifi ed for the 2004 NCAA Champi-onships as a team for the fi rst time since 1963. The Black Knights fi nished 12th that year followed by an 11th place fi nish in 2005, the last time they qualifi ed as a team. Senior Brian Lee fi nished runner-up on the still rinks that year, earning All-America honors in the process. Penn State extended its NCAA record of team titles to 12 in 2007, while Oklahoma captured fi ve of the last eight titles to boost its total to eight. Illinois, second behind Penn State with nine crowns, last captured a title in 1989, while reigning NCAA champion Stanford claimed its fourth title last year.

THE PREMIER LEADER DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTION IN THE NATION

The United States Military Academy is renowned because of its historic and distin-guished reputation as a military academy, and as a leading, progressive institution of higher education. Made legendary in books and movies produced over the years,

the Academy’s “Long Gray Line” of graduates includes some of our nation’s most fa-mous and infl uential men: Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, George S. Patton, Omar Bradley, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight Eisenhower and Norman

Schwarzkopf. Because of this superb education and leadership experience, West Point graduates historically have been sought for high level civilian and military leadership positions. Their

numbers include two U.S. presidents, several ambassadors, state governors, legislators, judges, cabinet members, educators,

astronauts and corporate executives. Today, West Point continues to provide hundreds of young men and women the unique opportunity to develop physically, ethically and intellectually while building a foundation for an exciting, chal-lenging and rewarding career as an Army offi cer in the service of our nation. Cadets have much more responsibility in running the

Academy than students in most other colleges or universities. It adds to the leadership experience. Cadets succeed at West Point because of the support they receive from the staff and faculty. After all, many faculty mem-bers are West Point graduates and understand the challenge cadets face on a daily basis. They also serve as ideal role

models, showing cadets what Army life is like. The U.S. Military Academy’s primary strength is its ability to develop leaders of character who are com-mitted to “Duty, Honor, Country” and selfl ess service to our nation.

AT WEST POINT, IT IS OFTEN SAID ... “MUCH OF THE HISTORY

WE TEACH WAS MADE BYPEOPLE WE TAUGHT.”


DISTINGUISHED GRADUATES


BORMAN HAIG KIMBROUGH KIMSEY

ROBERT E. LEE ’29 The Academy’s ninth Superintendent (1852-55), Lee was a model cadet during his four years at West Point. He graduated second in his class and never earned a single demerit during his four years at the Academy. At the beginning of the Civil War, he was selected to serve as Commanding General of the Army, but instead resigned his commis-sion and was named General-In-Chief of the Confederate Army from 1861 to 1865. Lee’s surrender to Ulysses S. Grant (USMA 1843), at Appomattox Court House, Va., ended the Civil War. Fort Lee, Va., was named in his honor.

ULYSSES S. GRANT ’43 Grant distinguished himself during the Civil War at the Battle of Vicksburg in 1863; his victory secured control of the Mississippi River for the Union. President Abe Lincoln later appointed him Commanding General of the Army in March 1864. On April 9, 1865, at Ap-pomattox Court House, Va., Robert E. Lee (USMA 1829) surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to him, ending the Civil War. Grant later served as the 18th President of the United States from 1869 to 1877. Today, his image graces the $50 bill.

GEORGE W. GOETHALS ’80 Goethals became an architect and was builder of the Panama Canal, 1904 TO 1914.

JOHN J. PERSHING ’86 Considered the second most senior offi cer in Army history, behind only George Washington, Pershing served as commander of the American Expe-ditionary Force during World War I. The two-million-plus troops of the AEF made a decisive contribution to the defeat of Imperial Germany. Pershing’s abilities as a leader distinguished him among European commanders, and through repeated successes on the battlefi eld, promoted American prestige around the world. He served as Army Chief of Staff in 1921, and was named General of the Armies of the United States upon his re-tirement in 1924.

DOUGLAS MacARTHUR ’03 After World War I, MacArthur returned to West Point to serve as the Academy’s 31st Superintendent from 1919 to 1922. During that time, he was respon-sible for the revitalization of the Acade-my. He was later promoted to General of the Army and served as Supreme Allied Commander in the Pacifi c Theater dur-ing World War II. During that time, he received the Medal of Honor for leading defense preparation and operations on the Philippine Islands. He later served as Supreme Allied Commander, Japan, and as commander, United Nations Command in the Far East. He was one of only fi ve offi cers to be promoted to General of the Army (fi ve stars).

GEORGE S. PATTON JR. ’09 “Old Blood and Guts,” Patton was one of the most colorful commanders in the Army. During World War II the famed commander of the 2nd Armored Divi-sion and later the Third Army displayed courage and daring as prominently as the pair of ivory handled revolvers he wore. Patton accomplished one of the most remarkable feats in military histo-ry in December 1944, when he quickly turned the Third Army northward to re-inforce the Allied southern fl ank against the German attack in the Battle of the Bulge. The General’s doctrine of ag-gressive employment of massive armor forces continue to prove themselves in combat arenas around the world.

OMAR N. BRADLEY ’15 During his career, Bradley earned a reputation as one of the best infantry commanders in World War II. He com-manded the 82nd Airborne and 28th In-fantry Divisions before going on to com-mand the 1st Army and the 12th Army Group. After the war he served as Army Chief of Staff from 1948 to 1949 and served as the fi rst Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1949 to 1953. He was the last Army offi cer to be promoted to General of the Army (fi ve stars), and the Bradley fi ghting vehicle is named in his honor.

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER ’15 During World War II, Eisenhower served as Supreme Commander of Al-lied Forces Europe from 1943 to 1944, during which he led the D-Day invasion of Europe. During that time, he was promoted to General of the Army (fi ve stars). After the war, he served as Army Chief of Staff from 1945 to 1948 and was named President of Columbia Uni-versity in 1948. He served as the 34th President of the United States from 1953 to 1961 and was one of only fi ve offi cers to be promoted to General of the Army (fi ve stars).

ALEXANDER M. HAIG JR. ’47 Haig served as Chief of Staff to Presi-dent Richard Nixon from 1973 to 1974; Supreme Allied Commander in Europe 1974 to 1979; President of United Tech-nologies Corporation 1980 to 1981 and Secretary of State during the Reagan administration from 1981 to 1982.

FRANK BORMAN ’50 An astronaut from 1962 to 1970, Bor-man commanded the fi rst circumlunar fl ight of the earth. He later served as President of Eastern Airlines.

FIDEL V. RAMOS ’50 One of the Academy’s international cadets, Ramos served as a Philippine Army offi cer after graduation. He eventu-ally became the country’s military Chief of Staff and later Secretary of National Defense. He also served as President of the Republic of the Philippines from 1992 to 1998.

EDWIN E. ALDRIN ’51 An astronaut from 1963 to 1972, Aldrin participated in the fi rst manned lunar landing with Michael Collins (USMA ’52) and was the second man to walk on the moon.

EDWARD WHITE ’52 An astronaut from 1962 to 1967, White was the fi rst man to walk in space and was one of the three astronauts killed in the Apollo I disaster in 1967.

H. NORMAN SCHWARZKOPF ’56 As Commander-in-Chief, United States Central Command from 1988 to 1991, Schwarzkopf’s command ultimately responded to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait with the largest U.S. deployment since the Vietnam War, including portions of the Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps as well as units from dozens of na-tions around the world. After retiring, Schwartzkopf received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

PETER M. DAWKINS ’59 Dawkins was Cadet Brigade Com-mander (First Captain of the U.S. Corps of Cadets) as a senior and became the third Heisman Trophy winner in Army football history. He later served as chair-man and CEO of Primerica.

JAMES V. KIMSEY ’62 Kimsey was the founding chairman of America Online, and was named chair-man emeritus in 1996. He founded the Kimsey Foundation in 1996.

MICHAEL W. KRZYZEWSKI ’69 Krzyzewski served as head basket-ball coach at West Point from 1974 to 1979 before assuming similar duties at Duke University. Krzyzewski has led the Blue Devils to three national champion-ships and was inducted into the Basket-ball Hall of Fame in October 2001. He coached the U.S. at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

RAYMOND T. ODIERNO ‘76 Odierno commanded the 4th Infantry Division during the fall of 2003 which, along with Special Forces units, cap-tured Saddam Hussein in December of that year. Odierno helped plan and coor-dinate the raid that netted Iraq’s fallen dictator.

ROBERT S. KIMBROUGH ’89 Kimbrough was named one of 11 new astronaut candidates by NASA in May 2004. Kimbrough ranks among Army Baseball’s career leaders in saves. A veteran of Desert Storm, he currently works for NASA in Houston as a fl ight simulation engineer and participated in a space shuttle mission last fall.

“Coaching at West Point for my ninth season is a privilege and honor. Working with our nation’s best student athletes is a humbling experience. It seems like the program gets stronger and stronger with every passing year. One day in the not so distant future, Army will contend for the National title again. “--Assistant Coach Carmine Giglio

West Point offered me an educational opportunity so different, and so challenging from any other, the decision to attend was easy. The level of talent on the gymnastics team was extraordinary at that time, and having the chance to work with that group remains a signifi cant highlight in my athletic career. Talented athletes like Matt Holm, Bob Boggs, and Arnie Ferrando, and tough coaches like Ned Crossley and Eric Malmberg de-manded a high standard of work and performance that marked West Point as a leader in collegiate gymnastics - as it is now. While I am a product of the leader development program at West Point, I’m happy to have had the added benefi t of being an athlete, as it was there that I really learned how to lead. -- George H. Rhyndance IV (USMA 1980) Army’s fi rst Eastern champion on fl oor exercise (1980)

“West Point gives you more than any other university can. You don’t just come out with a degree. Every single minute that you spend at the academy - from the most mundane day to day things to the major milestones and challenges - shapes the person that you are going to be and prepares you for the toughest and most rewarding lifestyle you can lead. I wanted that type of experience; I wanted my college experience to make me into some-thing more than every other person with a bachelor’s degree. I wouldn’t trade the hard work, late nights, unbreakable friendships, or even the mud, rain, and snow for anything.” -- George H. Rhynedance V (USMA 2007) Eastern high bar champion – joining father as the only father-son duo in Army history to claim titles.

“West Point offers student athletes a chal-lenge in all areas. I believe many young stu-dents want this challenge. Also, one can re-ally meet their goals as an athlete and clearly a student. It is much easier to advance as a gymnast at other programs, but we recruit, train and produce quality champions that are well rounded.” -- Head Coach Doug Van Everen

ARMY GYMNASTICS



THE U.S. MILITARY ACADEMY

The mission of the U.S. Military Academy is to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country; pro-fessional growth throughout a career as an offi cer in the U.S. Army; and a lifetime of selfl ess service to the Nation. Founded on March 16, 1802, the Academy celebrated its Bicenten-nial in 2002. But West Point’s role in America’s history dates to the Revo-lutionary War, when both sides realized the strategic importance of the commanding plateau on the west bank of the Hudson River. Gen. George Washington considered West Point to be the most strategic position in America. He personally selected Thaddeus Kosciuszko, one of the heroes of Saratoga, to design the fortifi cations in 1778 after problems arose with French engineers originally placed in charge of the design. In 1779, General Washington transferred his headquarters to West Point. Continental soldiers built forts, batteries and defensive barriers. A 100-ton iron chain was extended across the Hudson to control river traf-fi c. Today, several links from that chain are arranged at Trophy Point as a reminder of West Point’s original fortifi cations. In 1802 President Thomas Jefferson signed the legislation establish-ing the U.S. Military Academy to create an institution devoted to the arts and sciences of warfare. This effectively eliminated America’s wartime reliance on foreign engineers and artillerists. West Point became the na-tion’s fi rst engineering school and served as the model for engineering programs which were eventually established at other colleges. Col. Sylvanus Thayer, the “Father of the Military Academy,” served as Superintendent from 1817 through 1833. He upgraded academic stan-dards, instilled military discipline and emphasized honorable conduct. Early graduates were largely responsible for the construction of the na-tion’s initial railway lines, bridges, harbors, and roads. Although the cur-riculum maintains its focus on engineering, in recent decades the pro-gram of instruction has markedly changed, providing cadets a selection of more than 40 majors. This tradition of academic and military excel-lence, guided by a demanding standard of moral and ethical conduct, remains the cornerstone of the West Point experience. It is said at West Point that “much of the history we teach was made by those people we taught.” The Academy has produced famous lead-ers throughout its illustrious past…Civil War Generals Grant, Sherman, Lee, and Jackson, to name but a few. In World War I, 34 of the 38 corps and division commanders were graduates. World War II would see many graduates reach brigadier general or higher, to include Eisenhower, Mac-Arthur, Bradley and Patton. In more recent confl icts, MacArthur, Ridgway, Westmoreland, Abrams, Schwarzkopf and Abizaid were in command. Academy graduates have also excelled in air and space exploration, and countless others went on from military service to become leaders in medicine, law, business, religion and science. Since its founding, the Military Academy fulfi lls the same mission as it always has . . . to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets. It accomplishes this mission by developing cadets in three essential ar-eas: intellectual, physical and military. These developmental paths are balanced and fully integrated into the daily life of each young man and woman at the Academy. Intellectual growth is fostered through an academic curriculum that provides a broad liberal education in the arts and sciences. The elec-tives program builds upon the foundation of the core, allowing cadets to develop even greater competence in selected areas. In addition, the fi elds-of-study and majors nurture the development of creativity, critical thinking, and self-directed learning, essential character-istics of 21st century offi cers. The four-year academic experience leads to a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieuten-ant in the Army. Physical development is achieved through a rigorous athletic and physical education program. Each cadet participates at the intercolle-giate, club or intramural level each semester. This readies the cadet for the physical demands of military life and helps teach good judgment and self-discipline, even while under mental and physical stress.

Military development begins with the cadet’s fi rst day at West Point. Most military training takes place during the summer, with new cadets undergoing Cadet Basic Training, or Beast Barracks, their fi rst year, fol-lowed the second summer by Cadet Field Training. Cadets spend their third and fourth summers serving in active Army units around the world; attending specialty training such as airborne, air assault or northern warfare or helping to train the fi rst- and second-year cadets. The Cadet Leader Development System seeks to give the cadets in-creasing responsibility until they are ready to receive their commissions and assume their duties as leaders in today’s Army. Moral and ethical values guide cadets throughout their four years at West Point. Commitment to the Academy’s “Bedrock Values,” based on integrity and respect for the dignity of others, begins on the fi rst day. In-tegrity is refl ected in the Cadet Honor Code which states: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.” Respect denotes that cadets treat others with the same respect and dignity they themselves would expect. At West Point, it is not enough to train leaders—they must be lead-ers of character. Admission is keenly competitive and is open to young men and wom-en from all states and territories and from every socioeconomic level. Prospective cadets must receive a nomination by a member of Congress or from the Department of the Army. The Academy seeks candidates who possess records of success in academics, athletics and leadership indicative of well-rounded individu-als. Although the life of a cadet is demanding, there remains an array of club activities ranging from golf, skiing, boxing, crew and orienteering to such organizations as the cadet radio station, Habitat for Humanity and Big Brothers-Big Sisters. Additionally, the U.S. Corps of Cadets hosts a Special Olympics event each spring. Today’s Military Academy is a vastly different institution from the small academy legislated into be-ing by Congress in 1802. Originally just 1,800 acres, the Academy has grown to more than 16,000 acres. The fi rst graduating class numbered just two men; today’s classes grad-uate more than 900 new offi cers annually, both men and wom-en, who are prepared for leadership roles within the Army. With the ex-pansion of k n o w l e d g e and the changing n e e d s of the U n i t e d S t a t e s Army and the na-tion, life at West Point has changed to keep pace. Ever mindful of its rich heritage, the U.S. Military Academy is devel-oping leaders for tomorrow, and its focus remains the national needs of the 21st century.

Peterson’s Guide ranks West Point as one of the most competitive colleges in the nation and Forbes ranks West Point as American’s best col-lege. There are approximately 12,000 applications each year for less than 1,200 cadet vacancies. Ap-plicants compete for vacancies and are evaluated in three areas: academics, physical aptitude and demonstrated leadership ability. Cadet vacancies are allocated to each member of Congress and to the representatives to Congress from Washington, D.C., Guam, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, American Samoa and the Mariana Is-lands. Many foreign governments are also invited to nominate cadets under a Department of State program, so the student population at West Point is incredibly diverse. The following is an overview of the fi rst three steps toward gaining admittance to West Point. Further information regarding the admissions pro-cess and orientation visits is available by calling the Director of Admissions at (845) 938-4041.

Cadets defi nitely have time for fun and relaxation despite a rigorous daily schedule. Competitive sports provide one outlet. The description that “every cadet is an athlete” is quite accurate. In addition to intercollegiate athletics, there are numerous competitive club teams such as sky diving, rugby, crew and sailing. There is an active intramural sports program with cadet companies competing against one another.

CHRISTL ARENA One of the most popular and highly competitive collegiate gymnastics meets on the East Coast, the West Point Open, calls Christl Arena home. Christl Arena served as host of the 63rd NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships for the fi rst time, in 2005 and will be the site once again this year.. Located inside Holleder Center, Christl Arena serves as a permanent home to Army’s men’s and women’s basket-ball teams, and has served as host for other sporting events to include wrestling. It has also been the site of various intercollegiate and high school championship tournaments. The arena was named for 1st Lt. Edward C. Christl Jr. (USMA ’44), who was killed in Austria in 1945. The building is constructed of concrete and steel-framed masonry complete with spectator and support facilities. It contains two concession areas, an Army Athletic Association gift shop, ticket offi ce, sports medicine room, storage areas and offi ces for coaching and administrative personnel. Christl Arena has hosted the West Point Open for the past 18 years and attracts many of the top-ranked NCAA programs in the nation. Penn State has been a regular at the competition along with Temple, William & Mary and Navy, while Ohio and Nebraska have also participated. The competition has been highlighted by exhibition performances by some of the most recognized names in U.S. Gymnastics, including Olympians Blaine Wilson, John Roethlisberger, Kurt Thomas and Tim Daggett.

LOU GROSS SPORTS CENTER Located adjacent to Lichtenberg Tennis Center, off Stony Lonesome Road, just west of historic Michie Stadium and Holleder Center, Lou Gross Sports Center provides a fi rst-class training and competition venue for Army’s gymnastics team. One of the jewels of Army’s “Margin of Excellence” athletic facilities enhance project, the state-of-the-art Lou Gross Sports Center was offi cially opened and dedicated Feb. 14, 2002 prior to a triangular gymnastics meet with Air Force and James Madison. Army’s gymnastics home is due to the generosity of lead donor Herb Lichtenberg (USMA ’55) and is named for Lou Gross (USMA ’54), a valuable friend and supporter. Gross Sports Center underwent a makeover the summer of 2005 with the addition of a 1,960-square-foot spectator viewing gallery, bleachers and an exterior stairwell providing a sparkling new entrance into the facility. The state-of-the-art complex, also received a sports gallery handicap elevator, coaches’ offi ces and an HVAC heating and air conditioning system in the process. Lou Gross Center has made a large impact on Army’s gymnastics program: • The Black Knights captured the 2005 ECAC/EIGL Championship – their fi rst in 44 years and 12th overall. • Army earned its fi rst team bid to the NCAA Championships since 1963 as the No. 12 seed in 2004; repeated the following year after winning the automatic bid by capturing the ECAC title and No. 11 spot. The Black Knights qualifi ed again in 2007. • Posted a 10-3 mark over Navy and 12-2 showing versus Air Force over the past seven years en route to posting 53 wins over that span. In addition to serving as a permanent home to the nationally-ranked gymnastics team, Gross Center also benefi ts both the men’s and women’s basketball teams, giving them a top-notch practice facility to compliment Christl Arena in Holleder Center.

Army’s gymnastics program ascended to new heights since the inauguration of the Doug Van Everen era at West Point in 1990. Now in his second decade, the level of success the 20-year mentor has reached is the reason the Black Knights continually rank among the nation’s leaders. Van Everen reached milestones in 2004 and 2005, leading Army to its fi rst team bid to the NCAA Championships since 1963 as the No. 12 seed in 2004. The Black Knights made a return trip the following year after capturing their fi rst ECAC title in 44 years, earning the auto-matic bid along with grabbing the No. 11 spot. The veteran mentor was presented with his 100th win along the banks of the Hudson on March 6, 2005, in a road victory at Springfi eld just one year after posting his 100th career coaching victory over Navy in Annapolis, Md.

Van Everen has compiled a 53-29 mark over the past seven years, including a 13-1 record in 2003, along with an 11-1 showing that ac-companied the ECAC Championship in 2005. After fi nishing runner-up for the Eastern title in 2003 and 2004, Van Everen and his Black Knights reached the pinnacle of college gymnastics on the East Coast fi ve years ago (2005) when they se-cured the Academy’s fi rst Eastern crown since 1962. Army has also dominated the service academy rivalry during Van Everen’s tenure at West Point, sweeping the fi rst seven All-Academy Championships along with compiling a 15-1 dual mark against Air Force and a 12-3 verdict versus Navy during that span. Under Van Everen’s tutelage, the Black Knights ranked as high as No. 9 nationally in 2003 and 2004, and as high as 10th in 2005.

Since taking over the program in 1990, Van Everen shows a 122-107 record at West Point. In addition, Army has been well represented individually at the NCAA Championships, qualifying as a team in 2004, 2005 and 2007 for the national tournament. Army qualifi ed indi-vidually in 2006 when injuries decimated its ranks, while its largest group was a school-record 12 individuals competing in 2003. Committed to excellence, Van Everen is one of the most respected coaches in his profes-sion. He was awarded East Regional “Coach of the Year” honors on the eve of the 2005 NCAA Championships, hosted by the U.S. Military Academy. It was the third time in his tenure and second over a three-year span that he garnered that award. The honor came two weeks after guiding the Black Knights to an 11-1 record and their fi rst ECAC Championship since 1962. For that achievement, he copped ECAC “Coach of the Year” accolades for the second time.

His gymnasts defeated defending ECAC champion and NCAA qualifi er Temple during a 12-meet win streak in 2003 for their best start since 1979

en route to a 13-1 mark. That momentum carried into the postseason with a pair of runner-up fi nishes at the ECAC

and USAGC Championships, while closing with an NCAA All-America, fi ve USAGC All-Americans and

one USAGC national champion. An excellent recruiter, Van Everen

has coached several of the fi nest gymnasts in Army history. Under his guidance, Imad

Haque, Ben Hayward, Mike Sivulka, Steve Marshall, Dustin Greenhill, Troy Pazcoguin, Matt Eckerman, John Robella and Brian Lee all laid claim to national and regional honors. He has tutored four NCAA All-Americans along with 16 Eastern champions. Haque, a 1993 and 1994 East-ern still rings champion, was the fi rst All-American coached by Van Everen following a sixth-place fi nish at the 1994 NCAA Championships. Hayward was a three-time Eastern pommel horse champion who added an All-America certifi cate to his bril-liant career following a fi fth-place fi nish at the NCAAs in 1997. Green-

hill and Lee, Army’s latest NCAA All-Ameri-cans, fi nished runner-up on the parallel bars (2003) and still rings (2005), respectively, for the highest showing in Van Everen’s tenure. Also claiming Eastern titles were Sivulka, Marshall, Pazcoguin, Matt Eckerman, John Robella, Lee and Mike Oliveira (2005), with George Rhynedance (2006) and Eliot Proctor (2007) the latest additions. Sivulka, a two-time Eastern pommel horse champion (1994 and 1995), ranked No. 1 in the nation throughout most of his ju-nior year and was among the national leaders at season’s end. A parallel bars Eastern champion in 1995, Marshall captured the all-around title the following year to become the fi rst Black Knight to win that crown since 1939. Marshall ranked as high as second na-tionally in all-around throughout his senior year, and was among the Top 10 in each of the six individual events. He also earned a spot on the senior national team in 1995 and was third on the vault at the USA Champion-ships. Marshall was inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame with the second class in 2005. Pazcoguin ranked among the national leaders on vault his junior and senior cam-paigns and was a four-time NCAA qualifi er. He was tabbed the “Senior Athlete of the Year” at the Eastern Championships in 2002 after garnering rookie honors in 1999. Eckerman became just the second Black Knight to capture an Eastern crown on fl oor exercise and fi rst since 1980 when he claimed the title in 2002, while Robella won that crown the following year. Lee captured Army’s fi rst still rings crown in 10 years at the 2004 meet. He also fi nished sixth on the rings at the Winter Cup Challenge and ranked No. 2 in the country all season. Oliveira was just the third sophomore un-der Van Everen to win a title when he copped medalist honors on parallel bars at the 2005 meet. Rhynedance made school history in 2006 when he joined his father George Sr. (1980) as an Eastern champion. Four Army gymnasts earned fi ve USAGC All-America certifi cates at the 2003 champi-onships. Lee, crowned a national champion on still rings, joined Mike Tiffany (parallel bars, still rings), Chris Kennedy (pommel horse) and Robella (high bar) in garnering All-America honors. Robella was also named a USA Gymnastics scholar-athlete. All but one of 14 school records (team and individual) were shattered during Van Everen’s tenure before a new scoring system was implemented in 2008 geared towards an open-ending scoring system. Four years ago Army rebroke the school vault record during

a period when the rules for scoring made it diffi cult to receive high marks. Van Everen guided the Black Knights to runner-up honors at the ECAC Championships three times over a six-year span. Army’s plac-ing in 1999 was its highest in over a decade, and the Black Knights repeated in 2003 and 2004. Army gymnasts have also excelled as students. The Black Knights ranked among an elite group of 20 teams selected in 1998 for national academic honors by the College Gymnastics Association. Army placed 12th with a 3.07 team grade-point average, beat-ing both Navy (15th) and Air Force (16th). Jeff Means, Hayward and John Doss were among 49 individuals honored as scholar-athlete All-Americans, who earned a 3.5 grade-point average or better, while most recently Oliveira was named a College Gym-nastics Association 2005 All-America schol-ar-athlete. In addition to turning out nationally ranked gymnasts, the U.S. Military Acad-emy has become a showcase as one of the premier venues for prominent gymnastics meets. Army served as the host for the 63rd NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships in 2005, and will be the venue again in 2010. The Black Knights hosted the ECAC Champi-onships in 2008 and will do so again in 2009 at Gross Sports Center. Van Everen, who worked tirelessly to bring that event to West Point, also adminis-ters the annual West Point Open, one of the

largest meets on the East Coast. Prior to becoming Army’s sixth head coach, Van Everen was the head mentor at San Jose State for three years (1987-90). He directed his squad to an 8-11 record and a trip to the NCAA Western Regionals his fi nal year in compiling a mark of 12-32. Van Everen has made a name for him-self on the national level. He has served as president of the College Gymnastics Associa-tion and coached the USA national team in 1995 and 1996. He has also served as chair-man of the NCAA Gymnastics Rules Commit-tee, has been on the Board of Directors of USA Gymnastics and developed the College Gymnastics Foundation in 1996 for which he currently serves as president. Van Everen graduated from Cal-State Fullerton in 1987 with a degree in physical education. A four-year letterwinner as an all-arounder, he led CSF to the NCAAs in 1985. The experience gained working at clin-ics, clubs, camps and youth gymnastics start-ed Van Everen on the path to coaching and helped secure the head position at San Jose State following his graduation from college. During that coaching stint, he earned his master’s degree in athletic administra-tion from St. Mary’s of California in 1990. Six years later, Van Everen completed his doctor-al requirements in athletic administration. Van Everen and his wife Terri reside at West Point with their two sons, Kirk (20) and Connor (16). Kirk is a member of the USMA Class of 2011.

Doug Van Everen (right) and assistant coach Carmine Giglio were both honored at the conference (ECAC) and national level in 2005.

HEAD COACH DOUG VAN EVEREN


When Carmine Giglio joined Army’s gymnastics staff 10 years ago, head coach Doug Van Everen gained a skilled and talent-ed assistant who helped him bring the Black Knights to the forefront of collegiate gymnas-tics. As two of the most respected coaches in the fi eld, the Army duo were honored at the conference and national level in 2005, earn-ing four coaching awards between them.

G i g l i o was the re-cipient of the College Gym-nastics Asso-ciation (CGA) National Assis-tant Coach of the Year award shortly after copping ECAC “Assistant of the Year” ac-colades, and Van Everen

earned ECAC and CGA East Regional “Coach of the Year” honors. The duo guided Army to an 11-1 record that year and its fi rst ECAC Championship since 1962. Since his arrival at West Point, the Black Knights have sported an overall record of 67-37 (.644) and have crowned an East-ern League champion seven of the last nine years. In 2004, Army earned its fi rst bid to the NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships since 1963, then won its fi rst ECAC title in 44 years the following spring along with the au-tomatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Army sent a school-record 12 individual qualifi ers to the NCAAs by his third season (2003), along with back-to-back runner-up honors at the ECAC Championships in 2003 and 2004. Giglio has helped Army win the All-Academy title seven straight years along with a 15-1 showing against Air Force and 13-3 versus Navy en route to compiling a dual winning percentage of 87 percent (28-4) over its service-acad-emy rivals during that span. His fi rst season (2001) was marked by the Black Knights posting their sec-ond-highest winning percentage (.667) under Van Everen along with an Eastern League champion and a record eight gymnasts qualifying

for the NCAA Championships. Army defeated Navy three times during the season en route to an 8-3 mark. His second season saw Army crown its fi rst Eastern cham-pion on fl oor exercise since 1980 along with six gymnasts qualify-ing for the NCAA Championship meet. Army also defended its title at the All-Academy Champion-ships, outpointing both Navy and Air Force. The 2003-2005 seasons have proven to be the most su-perb in school history. In 2003, Army authored a 13-1 dual mark, posted a pair of second place fi nishes at the ECAC and USAGC Championships, qualifi ed a re-cord 12 individuals for the NCAA Championships and claimed an All-American. The Black Knights crowned an ECAC champion and USAGC national champion along with fi ve USAGC All-America certifi cates. The 2004 campaign at that point was the fi nest under Van Everen and Giglio with Army earn-ing a berth to the NCAA Cham-pionships following a second-place fi nish at the ECAC Championships, where the Black Knights crowned their fi rst ECAC still rings champion in ten years. Wins over Navy and Air Force once again were included in Army’s 10-4 mark. The 2005 season was highlighted by Army’s fi rst ECAC title since 1962, an 11-1 re-cord along with crowning an Eastern champi-on. George Rhynedance captured an Eastern title on the high bar in 2006 and Eliot Proctor followed on the parallel bars in 2007. As a collegian, Giglio enjoyed a standout career at Western Michigan. The three-time captain became the fi rst Bronco to qualify for the NCAA Championships in all-around follow-

ing a ninth-place fi nish at the East Regionals his senior campaign. After earning his bachelor’s degree in ex-ercise science with a minor in health in 1990, Giglio began his coaching career on the staff at the International Gymnastics School. Dur-ing that three-year period, he also competed at the 1992 USA Gymnastics Championships and the 1993 Winter Cup Challenge. A native of Syracuse, N.Y., Giglio won state titles in the all-around, pommel horse and horizontal bars in leading Henninger High School to the No. 1 state ranking in 1985. He was also a junior national qualifi er. Giglio and his wife Kelly reside in New Windsor, N.Y., with their sons Jase Anthony (3) and Caden Park (1).

SEASON OUTLOOK The NCAA Men’s Division I Gymnastics Champion-ships returns to West Point this spring for the second time in fi ve years and third in Army history. Coach Doug Van Everen has been gearing up for the meet since last qualifying as a team in 2007. Army fi nished 11th in 2005 with Brian Lee named an All-American after capturing the silver on the still rings, while placing 12th two years later. After coming up short in their bid to qualify as a team for the championships the last two years, the host Black Knights want to conclude the 2010 campaign as part of the 12-team NCAA fi eld in April. Van Everen has a sold foundation with the return of seven lettermen, including team captain Ty Smith, an NCAA all-around qualifi er, senior Justin Sappington, junior Tim Tieng and sophomores Jonathan Hoey and Chase Brown. Van Everen will be looking to showcase the rising stars on a roster that includes a freshman class that could rank among the fi nest in his tenure. This group has set its sights high and is poised to return the Black Knights to the forefront of the East-ern Collegiate Athletic Conference as well as ranking among the national leaders. “We set a solid foundation with the upper class-men to do well this year,” explained the 20-year Army mentor. “We have a very strong team with the perfect balance of talent, youth and experience. We are in ex-cellent shape after working on various skills that will benefi t us this year. Van Everen is confi dent that several of this year’s squad will step up and return the team to its former winning ways after suffering through back-to-back los-ing seasons. Army lost just one member of last year’s squad to graduation, while bringing in seven freshmen in round-ing out the Black Knights’ 15-man roster that has just four upperclassmen. “We are defi nitely a better team not only with the experience gained last year, but the improvements made as well,” added Van Everen. Seniors Smith and Sappington will not only be re-lied on for leadership to a young squad, but are strong all-around competitors as well. Nolan Melson and Tieng are the lone two members of the junior class. Sophomores Brown, Hoey, Zack Linton and Bran-don Long add to the Black Knights talent pool sup-ported by a strong freshman class expected to make an immediate impact led by Ikaika Jakub and Garrek Hojan-Clark. Army was lacking depth the past two years, but it is its biggest asset this season. Van Everen noted that “it is interesting how it will come together this year and we will put in the strongest and most consistent team in every meet. We are a signifi cantly different team and we are about 15 points better than last year.” Army’s squad is its strongest and healthiest since 2007 which allows Van Everen and long-time assistant coach Carmine Giglio to focus their attention on lead-ing the Black Knights to a breakout year as they look to make their mark at the ECAC Championships and the NCAA Tournament.

FLOOR EXERCISE Army boasts two of the best tumblers in the na-tion in n sophomore Chase Brown and freshman Ikaika Jakub. Their toughest competition should come from each other as they look to lead a fl oor team that has a solid nucleus returning. Brown was injured after the fi rst meet last year, but has made remarkable improvements, and according to Van Everen, has one of the best fl oor routines in the country. Jakub, a four-time Junior Olympic Qualifi er and eight-time Regional Qualifi er, adds signifi cant talent to the lineup and will challenge, along with Brown, for the ECAC title.

Upperclassmen Ty Smith, Nolan Melson and Jus-tin Sappington were among last year’s tumble leaders, while sophomore Zack Linton along with freshmen Jared Breeden and Jared Griffi n will be providing power and depth to this event.

2009 Floor Exercise StatisticsTeam Best: 53.85 vs. Air Force (1/31)Individual Best: Kelson Lumpkin (14.00) at All-Acade-my Championships (2/14)

POMMEL HORSE There is a wealth of depth of talent on pommel horse with the return of several top contenders from last year in Ty Smith, Justin Sappington, Jonathan Hoey, Tim Tieng and Zack Linton. Based on the preseason, Van Everen will look to newcomer Garrek Hojan-Clark to deliver the top per-formance. The freshman has the talent to rank among the fi nest horsemen at Army since the 1990s when Mike Sivulak and Ben Hayward captured multiple ECAC titles. Also looking to break into the lineup is freshman Gregory Fearnley.

STILL RINGS Army has experience on still rings where veterans Justin Sappington, Ty Smith, and Nolan Melson provide a strong foundation with freshman Kip Webber look-ing to contribute immediately. A Massachusetts state rings champion, Webber will help make this event one of Army’s strongest in years. Added depth will be provided by sophomore Bran-don Long, who was on the injured list last year, and newcomers Jared Breeden, Nicholas Fettinger, Jared Griffi n and Ikaika Jakub. Fettinger (Michigan) and Grif-fi n (Georgia) were state champions.

2009 Still Rings StatisticsTeam Best: 53.40 vs. Springfi eld (3/8)Individual Best: Justin Sappington (14.05) vs. Temple/Navy (3/21)

VAULT Vault was not a strong event for the Black Knights last year, but with sophomore Chase Brown healthy along with the talent and ability of freshman Kim Web-ber, Van Everen feels it will be Army’s strongest as both are explosive vaulters who deliver solid performances. Ty Smith, who had a team-high 15.05, Tim Tieng, Justin Sappington and Nolan Melson led the Black Knights last year, while newcomer Jared Breeden adds increased depth to that position.

2009 Vault StatisticsTeam Best: 59.65 vs. Penn State (1/10)Individual Best: Ty Smith (15.05) vs. Penn State (1/10)

PARALLEL BARS Army possesses a depth of talent on parallel bars with the newcomers helping make it a strong event with no less than 12 gymnasts in the mix. The Black Knights will look to veterans Tim Tieng, Ty Smith, Nelson Lumpkin and Justin Sappington to perform well in this event. Sophomore Chase Brown along with freshmen Greg Fearnley, Jared Griffi n, Gar-rek Hojan-Clark and Ikaika Jakub will also be factors in Army’s success.

2009 Parallel Bars StatisticsTeam Best: 50.75 vs. Navy (2/7)Individual Best: Jonathan Grey (13.70) at West Point Open (1/16)

HIGH BAR Though not as strong as the other fi ve events, Army is still solid on high bar where Ty Smith, Justin Sapping-ton and Tim Tieng will be the core of the team. Sopho-more Chase Brown is strong and could be in the top four with increased depth provided by freshmen Nicho-las Fettinger, Jared Griffi n and Garrek Hojan-Clark.

SCHEDULE Army has kicked off the season the past seven years against Penn State, ranked No. 6 in the pre-season coaches’ poll. The Black Knights make their home debut the fol-lowing weekend (Jan. 15-16) hosting the 19th annual West Point Open at Christl Arena, which will also be the site for the NCAA Championships in April. The Black Knights will be on the road for three straight weekends starting with a visit to Massachu-setts for a tri-meet with ECAC rivals Springfi eld and Navy. A busy February awaits the Black Knights as they open the month with a trip to Annapolis, Md., for the annual “Star” meet with Navy (Feb. 6). Army then heads to Laguna, Calif., to compete at the annual All-Academy Championships that includes two-time defending champion Navy and Air Force. The Black Knights return home to host ECAC foe Temple (Feb. 19) followed by a return trip to New England for a meet with the Pride Sunday afternoon (Feb. 28) in rounding out the month of February. Army opens March with a home tri-meet with Springfi eld and SUNY Brockport (March 6), while a dual with Air Force on March 12 at Gross Center rounds out the Black Knights’ home slate. The Black Knights wrap up the regular-season on the road with a visit to conference rival and this year’s ECAC host William & Mary (March 19). Army returns to Williamsburg, Va., in April for the conference championships as the Black Knights look to challenge for the team title and automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. West Point’s Christl Arena will take center stage as the host for the 68th National Collegiate Men’s Gym-nastics Championships April 15-17.

OVERVIEW The season features the talents of the returning veterans looking to step up along with a freshman class, rated one of the best in school history, providing the perfect balance of talent, youth and experience as the Black Knights look to challenge for the ECAC title along with a bid to the NCAA Tournament. “I feel that the Penn State meet and West Point Open will put us back on track and that we should be in good shape for the rest of the dual meets,” noted Van Everen. We have the muscle and more opportunities because of this year’s talent then we have had the past couple of years.” “Last year we kept our routines simple, but we will not be as conservative this year because of the level of the veterans and freshmen. We are executing well and the scores will jump a lot.” Van Everen also feels this year that three members of the team, Chase Brown and Ikaika Jakub on fl oor ex-ercise, along with Garrek Hojan-Clark (pommel horse), will fi gure prominently in the lineup and could vie for All-America honors.

SEASON IN REVIEW


The Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) is the nation’s largest athletic conference and only multi-divisional conference, with 321 member institutions and over 122,000 student-athletes ranging across 16 states from Maine to North Carolina and westerly to Illinois. Es-tablished in 1938 with 58 charter members, the ECAC has since emerged as the nationwide leader in service. The Asa S. Bushnell Center, named after inaugural commissioner Asa S. Bushnell, 1serves as the main of-fi ce for the ECAC. It is located in Centerville, Mass., on Cape Cod. After Asa S. Bushnell molded the organization from its forma-tion to his retirement in 1970, George Schiebler took over as commissioner from 1970-72. Robert M. “Scotty “Whitelaw (1972-89) guided the ECAC through one of the most signifi cant events in its history, as the Eastern Association of Intercol-legiate Athletics for Women (EAIAW) was consolidated into the ECAC in 1983. With the addi-tion of women’s sports, the ECAC doubled its number of championships and greatly increased its membership. Clayton Chapman (1989-98), Phil Buttafuoco (1998-06), and Steve Bamford (2006-07) have also carried the title of commissioner through the last 20 years. Current com-missioner Rudy Keeling assumed chief administrator duties on May 1, 2007. The ECAC maintains two primary websites - one dealing with administrative issues, while the others serve as a fan-friendly site for news and results for all athletic events. Through the ECAC.tv web casting, the conference has the ability to showcase the excitement of college ath-letics within the 15-state footprint to a national and international audience. The ECAC also co-ordinates with institutions, television vendors and broadcast partners to televise quality sports programming on regional networks including Comcast (CN8 Sports), College Sports Television (CSTV), Entertainment and Sports Programming Network - University (ESPNU), and the New England Sports Network (NESN). The prestigious Asa S. Bushnell internship program, named after the fi rst commissioner of the ECAC and established in 1976, offers college graduates from ECAC member institutions hands-on experience in all areas of the only multidivisional conference in the country. Former interns represent the ECAC in all fi elds of the sports industry as directors of athletics, commis-sioners, broadcasting executives, professional franchise front-offi ce executives, sports informa-tion directors and coaches.

The ECAC Gymnastics Conference was formerly known as the Eastern Intercolle-giate Gymnastics League or EIGL. In 1987, a separate ECAC champion-ship was initiated to have a conference championship for those teams not in the EIGL. For the fi rst four years of the ECAC Championships, no title was contested and not all the EIGL teams took part. With the dwindling number of teams and the, more or less, redundancy of the two “conference” championships, it merged into one championship in 1998. The EIGL, which started offi cially in 1926, marked its 80th year in 2005 that the offi cial Eastern College Gymnastics Championship has been conducted. The fi rst NCAA championship was in 1938, but prior to that, gymnasts came from as far away as Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois to take part in the EIGL Championships, which served as an unoffi cial national collegiate championship. During the early years, the Ivy League Schools dominated, then Navy won seven titles in a row. Track and fi eld events were part of the gymnastics conference, even in the early Olympic Games. As late as the 1950 World Champion-ships, gymnasts also had to compete in track and fi eld events like the 100 meter dash, shot put, long or high jump, and pole vault, but in addition to height, they had to show good form. Gymnastics is one of the oldest sports with national championships, which were fi rst conducted in 1885, and have been conducted ever since. The current ECAC gymnastics schools include Army, Illinois-Chicago, MIT, Navy, Springfi eld, Temple and William & Mary.

COMPETITIONThe ECAC administers nearly 100 regular season and postseason championships and/or events for 37 men’s and women’s sports. The ECAC also serves as the primary league for Division III men’s hockey (3), Divi-sion III women’s hockey (2) and Division I men’s lacrosse. In addition, the ECAC pro-vides leadership assistance for numerous affi liate organizations including the Inter-collegiate Association of Amateur Athletes in America (IC4A), Intercollegiate Fencing Association (IFA), Eastern Intercollegiate Gymnastics League (EIGL), Eastern Intercol-legiate Wrestling association (EIWA), East-ern Association of Rowing Colleges (EARC), Eastern Association of Women’s Rowing Colleges (EAWRC), and Intercollegiate Row-ing Association (IRA).

University of Chicago-Illinois captured the 2009 ECAC/EIGL Championships at West Point’s Gross Center.

ECAC RESULTS


ARMY GYMNASTICS HISTORY


Army, which ushers in its 83rd gymnastics season in 2009, celebrated its 80th season of intercollegiate competition in 2005 by cap-turing its fi rst ECAC title in over 40 years and hosting the NCAA Men’s Division 1 Gymnas-tics Championships. Head coach Doug Van Everen has tutored two All-Americans in the past four seasons, re-storing Army gymnastics’ proud tradition and making the Black Knights the “Beast of the East” for the fi rst time since the 1960s. With more than 500 career dual match victories to its credit, Army enters the 2009 campaign caught in a rebuilding season. Van Everen brought in a talented freshman class that he feels will play a key role next year when the Black Knights host the NCAA Cham-pionships at West Point.

THE EARLY YEARS Francis Dohs, the program’s fi rst head coach, mentored the gymnastics squad for nearly six years, resigning after six meets in 1931 with an overall record of 19-18. His successor, Thomas E. Maloney, set the stage for all future West Point gymnasts and head coaches by establishing the Cadets as one of the nation’s elite programs. He enjoyed immense success as Army’s head coach for the next 36 years, leaving as the Academy’s all-time winningest head coach — a distinction he still holds today. From 1931 to 1966, Maloney’s charges compiled a 211-34-6 (.853) mark and cap-tured 11 Eastern titles, nine of those out-right. A total of 11 Maloney-coached teams were undefeated, and his 1934 squad was the fi rst to win an Eastern championship. One of the most successful gymnasts to come out of the Academy during the Ma-loney era was Robert Sears, who closed out his career as a three-time national champion.

He was the fi rst Black Knight to win a national title on the horizontal bar and rope climb in 1938, and repeated as the rope climb cham-pion in 1939. The following year, the Army team captain was crowned a national champion on parallel bars while Ray Belardi won the rope climb in leading the Black Knights to a second-place fi nish at the NCAA Championships. Eight years after graduating, Sears went on to win National AAU championships on the long horse (1947) and parallel bars (1947). A member of the Army Air Corps during World War II, Sears earned the Distinguished Flying Cross and two Air Medals. He was a prisoner of war, but escaped from his German captors. He later served in Korea (1953-54). Sears was a member of the inaugural Army Sports Hall of Fame class in 2004. When Lewis M. Jamison was elected cap-tain of the 1949 team, he joined his father Glen C., a team captain in 1923, as the only father-son combination in Army history to serve in that capacity.

THE NED CROSSLEY ERA In 1972-73, Ned Crossley took over the program and authored a very successful 108-45 mark during his 12-year reign. Crossley’s fi nest team was the 1978-79 squad that went 14-1, while his 1975-76 and 1979-80 teams posted identical 13-1 records. He also devel-oped three Eastern champions — Scott Shorr (1978) and Chris Adams (1982) on the vault and George Rhynedance (1980) on fl oor exer-cise. Rhynedance shared fi rst-place honors at Easterns on fl oor exercise in 1980 along with a second place on the high bar and third on vault. He qualifi ed for the NCAA Champion-ships and just missed the fi nals on vault and the high bar. Crossley compiled a 108-45 (.706) winning percentage during his 12 years (1972-84) as the head coach.

THE LARRY BUTLER ERA Larry Butler, an assistant on Ned Cross-ley’s staff, took over the head reigns of the program from 1986 through 1990.

Butler compiled a 51-33 (.607) mark that included third and fourth place fi nishes at the eastern/EIGL Championships. He compiled 32 wins over his fi nal three years, with 12 his fi nal year.

THE DOUG VAN EVEREN ERA Taking over the reins in 1991, Van Everen restored Army’s proud tradition on both the regional and national scenes in a very short period of time. Ten of his gymnasts have combined to win 16 Eastern titles and four All-America certifi -cates in Van Everen’s 18 years at West Point. Brian Lee added the latest All-America deed to Van Everen’s resume on the still rings in 2005.

1990-95 WITH VAN EVEREN In 1993, Imad Haque became Army’s fi rst Eastern champion since 1987 after tying for fi rst place on still rings to earn a trip to the

NCAAs. Ranked as high as No. 3 nationally, Haque broke his own school record with a 9.80 against Syracuse and tied it in a win over Navy. Haque defended his title in 1994, bettered his school mark (9.9), while his second trip to the NCAAs earned him All-America honors af-ter fi nishing sixth. He was among the eight na-tional fi nalists for the Nissen Award – handed out to the country’s top male gymnast. In 1994, Steve Marshall, Mike Sivulka, Haque and James Lewis qualifi ed for the NCAA East Regionals, while also earning trips to nationals. Sivulka, who won an Eastern title on pommel horse, just missed the fi nals at the national meet in placing 11th. Marshall tied for 16th in the all-around and Lewis ranked 36th on fl oor exercise.

1996-99 WITH VAN EVEREN In 1995, Marshall and Sivulka ranked among the national leaders and once again qualifi ed for the NCAA Regionals. Sivulka held the nation’s top spot on the pommel horse into late March. He tied for fi rst place at the EIGLs in defending his title. In spite of shatter-ing his school mark at regionals, Sivulka fell short of qualifying for the NCAAs. Marshall competed on vault and the all-around in his second trip to the NCAAs. He fi nished two spots shy of All-America honors after placing eighth on the vault. He was 20th in all-around. Ranked nationally in all-around scoring since his freshman year, Marshall listed as high as second in the country and in the Top 10 in the six individual events. After winning the all-around title at the Eastern meet, the fi rst Black Knight since 1939 to do so, Marshall injured his ankle on his dismount on high bar in the fi rst event dur-ing competition at the NCAA East Regional meet. Limited to competing only on the pom-mel horse, he placed ninth overall and second among the individual qualifi ers, good enough to earn an NCAA bid where he fi nished 35th. Marshall became the second gymnast in-ducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame in November 2005. Ben Hayward wrote the headlines the next three years. In 1997, he won the Eastern title on the pommel horse and qualifi ed for the East Regionals along with team captain Peter Gizzi, Mike Bush and freshman Jason Del-marty. Ben Hayward went on to fi nish runner-up on the horse at regionals to earn a trip to the NCAAs, marking the fi fth straight year Army sent a representative to the national competi-tion. There, he copped All-America honors fol-lowing a fi fth-place fi nish, becoming just the eighth Black Knight to earn that certifi cate

on the horse and fi rst since Olympian Gar O’Quinn in 1958. In 1999, Hayward captured his third straight pommel horse title and freshman Troy Pazcoguin was named the ECAC “Rookie of the Year.” Hayward closed out his career by qualifying for the NCAA East Regional for the fourth straight year and was joined by Pazcoguin and Delmarty. Hayward tied for fourth on the horse at regionals and Pazcoguin shared 14th place on the parallel bars as both qualifi ed for the NCAA Championships. It was the second trip to the nationals for Hayward, who at one point

ranked fi rst in the nation on the horse. At the NCAAs, Hayward tied for 13th place on the horse and Pazcoguin shared 36th on parallel bars.

2000-05 WITH VAN EVEREN In the fi rst year of the new millennium, the Black Knights sent six gymnasts to the na-tionals in a new format that had the East and West regions competing together. Scott Harris and John Robella ranked third in the East on fl oor exercise and parallel bars, respectively, and Pazcoguin (vault) was seventh in 2000. A new scoring format posed a diffi cult chal-

lenge of lower scores and more diffi cult rou-tines, but Army thrived as a record-high eight Black Knights qualifi ed for the 2001 NCAA Championships along with posting an 8-3 dual mark. Army’s contingent was the second-largest among the 56 individual qualifi ers. Pazcoguin, making his third straight NCAA appearance, advanced to the preliminary round where he tied for fi fth. Earlier he was crowned an Eastern champion on vault and was runner-up on high bar, leading Army to a fi fth-place fi nish at the ECAC Championships. In 2002, Army defeated Air Force in dedi-cating its new facility, Lou Gross Sports Cen-ter, in mid-February, and then successfully defended its All-Academy Championship later in the month. Eckerman was crowned an Eastern cham-pion on fl oor exercise, becoming only the sec-ond gymnast in Army history to win that event. Pazcoguin was selected the ECAC “Senior Ath-lete of the Year.” Pazcoguin qualifi ed for the NCAA Champi-onships, meeting the standard in all-around for the third consecutive year. Robella and Matt Eckerman also qualifi ed for the third straight year. Robella became Army’s second gymnast under the new scoring format to advance to the preliminary round following a ninth-place fi nish on fl oor exercise, but fell short of quali-fying for the fi nals after tying for 16th place. In 2003, Army defeated Navy and Air Force twice during the dual meet season, and snapped a fi ve-meet losing streak to Temple. Army ranked as high as No. 9 nationally in the GymInfo poll for its best showing under Doug Van Everen. Following a second-place fi nish at the ECAC Championships, the Black Knights qualifi ed their largest individual contingent (12) for the national meet. Senior team captain Dustin Greenhill closed out his career with All-America honors on parallel bars following a second-place fi n-ish at the NCAAs. He is just the fourth Army gymnast to earn accolades in that event. Lee, who fi nished ninth at the NCAAs on still rings, was one of four Black Knights to earn USAGC All-America honors that year af-ter being crowned a national champion in his specialty. Freshman Mike Tiffany earned a pair of certifi cates on parallel bars and still rings with Robella (high bar) and freshman Chris Kennedy (pommel horse) rounding out the All-America USAGC list. Heading into the NCAA meet ranked No. 2 all season on still rings, Lee reached the indi-vidual fi nals for the second straight year, but came up short in his bid for All-America honors. Lee was crowned the individual champion on rings at the ECAC Championships after helping

the Black Knights to runner-up h o n o r s , but lost out on scoring average for an NCAA bid. Bran-don Whit-ten was n a m e d the “ECAC Rookie of the Year”. B u t runner-up honors at the ECAC Champion-ships in 2004 earned No. 12 Army its fi rst bid to the NCAA Championships since 1963. Lee was crowned the ECAC championship on still rings and headed to the NCAAs ranked No. 2 in the nation. He reached the individual fi nals for the second straight year and just missed earning All-America honors after fi n-ishing eighth. Lee closed out his collegiate career in 2005 with a second-place showing on still rings at the NCAA Championships held at Christl Arena. The 29th All-American in school history, he held the top score in the fi nals of the NCAA Championships until the last com-petitor. His success at the national event capped a stellar season for the Black Knights that in-cluded an Eastern title, an individual Eastern champion and an All-American, to go along with Van Everen’s regional and ECAC “Coach of the Year” plaudits, and assistant coach Car-mine Giglio’s national “Assistant Coach of the Year” accolades. Army fi nished the dual meet season with an 11-1 mark, which included two wins over Navy and three over Air Force. Mike Oliveira captured parallel bars at the 2005 ECAC Championships, helping Army to its 12th team title and fi rst in 44 years.

2005-09 WITH VAN EVEREN Injuries caused havoc for Army in 2006, but though the Black Knights failed to qualify as a team for the NCAA Championships, two gymnasts (Eliot Proctor on parallel bars and Tim Burns on high bar) advanced to the pre-liminary round. Army captured the All-Academy Champion-ships, nipping Navy by 5/100s of a point for the title after bowing to the Midshipmen dur-ing the regular season. The Black Knights fi nished runner-up at

the West Point Open, their highest fi nish in the 15-year history of the event, along with sweeping Air Force twice. Junior George Rhynedance was crowned an Eastern champion on high bar, joining his father George (USMA ‘80) as the only father-son duo in Army history to claim titles. The 2007 season was a bit kinder as Army posted a 9-3 record that included wins over Navy and Air Force along with winning the All-Academy championships for the seventh straight year. The Black Knights fi nished third at the ECAC Championships along with qualifying for the NCAA Championships for the third time in the last four years. Army edged Illinois-Chicago, who fi nished second at the Easterns, by the smallest of margins (average) for the fi nal 12th spot. El-iot Proctor was crowned an Eastern champion on parallel bars and George Rhynedance was named the “Most Improved Gymnast”. In 2008 and 2009, injuries and youth caused havoc for the Black Knights along with a new scoring systems that saw Army post the fewest wins in Van Everen’s tenure. Army’s domination of the All-Academy Championships was snapped along with suf-fering dual losses to Navy and Air Force. The Black Knights fi nished fourth overall and third among the collegiate teams at the annual West Point Open in 2008 and fi fth in 2009. Jonathan Grey wrote the headlines both years, medaling on pommel horse (fi fth) in 2008 and parallel bars (sixth) last year. Gross Center took center stage as Army hosted the ECAC/EIGL Tournament in 2008 and 2009 with the Black Knights fi nishing sixth. All-around Ty Smith placed among the leaders on still rings and fl oor exercise. He qualifi ed individually for the NCAA Champion-ships in the all-around scoring.

The 1999 team fi nished runner-up at the ECAC Championships.



Beginning with Robert Sears in 1938, a total of 31 All-America certifi cates have been handed out to Army gymnasts at the NCAA Championships. In 2005, Army copped its second All-America citation in a three-year span when Brian Lee placed second on the still rings. Dustin Greenhill was second on the parallel bars in 2003, becoming the fi rst Black Knight to earn All-American honors since Ben Hayward in 1997 on the pommel horse.

WHY WEST POINT?

WHY WEST POINT?

“I think if my dear mother were alive, she would tell you nothing comes close to graduating from West Point, even going to the moon.” - ASTRONAUT FRANK BORMAN

“The combination of an education at West Point and the experience of a career in the armed services will prepare you in a unique way for a rich diversity of fur-ther career and service in civilian life.” - HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER GLENN DAVIS

“I believe in the code ... ‘Duty, Honor, Country.’ I be-lieve in service to one’s country. The institution of the armed forces has thrived on its commitment to de-veloping excellence. It is meritocracy in action. Race, religion, wealth, background count not.” - PRESIDENT GEORGE H.W. BUSH

“How great it must be, gosh how great it must be to be a member of this Corps. To know that camaraderie of discipline, of manners, of courtesy, of human sen-sibility, of one’s duty to his fellow man.” - JOURNALIST WALTER CRONKITE

GEORGE W. BUSH


WHY WEST POINT?

“My four years at West Point were wonderful. I loved every minute of it and particularly the last three years. I loved the history. I loved the tradition. I liked wearing the uniform. I felt like I belonged there. Every-thing was meaningful to me. There is no question in my mind the proudest day of my father’s life was the day I graduated from West Point. There is a picture of the two of us standing on ‘The Plain’ and he is just beaming.” - GENERAL H. NORMAN SCHWARZKOPF

“I was so proud to be on the verge of entering the only institution in American society at that time that was totally integrated, in which I would have the oppor-tunity to rise, based solely on performance and abil-ity. The nation always looks to West Point and always looks to each and every one of you to follow always the angels of your nature.” - GENERAL COLIN POWELL

“In every corner of America, the words ‘West Point’ command immediate respect. This place where the Hudson River bends is more than a fi ne institution of learning. The United States Military Academy is the guardian of values that have shaped the soldiers who have shaped the world.” - PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH


WHY WEST POINT?

WHY WEST POINT?

“Any of us who went through the process; anyone who felt the fl ame of that furnace, came away al-tered in the way we go about running our lives. Some part of it is the belief that you are not only doing it for personal glory, but you do it because it is your responsibility. It’s part of being a member of The Corps and each of us that have felt that magic feel especially privileged to have done so.” - HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER PETE DAWKINS

“As I look back over my career in government, in busi-ness, of course in the military, I think West Point was a very infl uential experience. It hardened a sense of discipline, a sense of responsibility, duty and integrity and also very happily combined an alertness of mind and body.” - FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE ALEXANDER HAIG

MIKE KRZYZEWSKI

“For here we train the men and women whose duty it is to defend the Republic, the men and women whose profession is watchfulness, whose skill is vigilance, whose calling is to guard the peace, but if need be, to fi ght and win.” - PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN


WHY WEST POINT?

“As I look back on my life, I’ll always revere the op-portunities that came along that brought about the choice I made to go to West Point. I just feel that it was fundamental in molding the fabric of my life. The experiences that I had at West Point, they were irreplaceable.” - ASTRONAUT EDWIN “BUZZ” ALDRIN

“West Point’s graduates have served America in many, many ways. Not only by leading troops into combat, but also by exploring frontiers, founding universities, laying out the railroads, building the Panama Canal, running corporations, serving in the Congress and The White House, and walking on the moon. Through our history, whenever duty called, the men and women of West Point have never failed us, and I speak for all Americans when I say, I know you never will.” - PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON

“You have ahead of you the best of all professions. Being a leader is the best thing you can possibly be and you’re at a school that will make you the best possible leader. West Point is the ring. It’s the foun-dation of everything I have done.” - HEAD COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI

“In the evening of my memory, always I come back to West Point. Always there echoes and re-echoes ... Duty -- Honor -- Country. Today marks my fi nal roll call with you. But I want you to know, when I cross the river, my last conscious thoughts will be of The Corps ... and The Corps ... and The Corps ...” - GENERAL DOUGLAS MacARTHUR

“This nation is grateful that four years ago every man and woman graduating today made a life-changing decision. You left the comforts and famil-iar surroundings of civilian life, and devoted your-selves to one of the noblest professions in a free country--the profession of arms.” - FORMER VICE PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY

“WEST POINT IS THE RING. IT’S THE FOUNDATION OF EVERYTHING I HAVE DONE.” - MIKE KRZYZEWSKI ‘69

ATHLETICS DIRECTOR KEVIN ANDERSON Since Kevin Anderson was introduced as Army’s Director of Athletics on Dec. 13, 2004, West Point’s intercollegiate ath-letic program has enjoyed immense suc-cess both on and off the “fi elds of friendly strife.” Boasting more than two decades of leadership and experience, Anderson departed his post as executive associate athletic director at Oregon State University to accept the challenge of re-invigorating Army’s proud athletic program.

The veteran administrator has played a large role in accomplishing that goal dur-ing his fi ve years along the banks of the Hudson. In that time, Army has sent 19 in-tercollegiate athletic teams to the NCAAs, captured its fi rst National Championship in more than 50 years, witnessed the revital-ization of its hockey and men’s basketball programs, and experienced unparalleled success in several others, such as base-ball, women’s volleyball, women’s tennis

and women’s basketball. A year ago, Army’s women’s soccer team became West Point’s ninth different intercollegiate program to advance to the NCAAs under An-derson’s watch, while the baseball team reached a regional fi nal for the fi rst time in school history. During the 2004-05 academic year, Anderson’s fi rst at West Point, Army’s ath-letic program won a National Championship in rifl e, sent a record seven teams to postseason appearances, defeated Navy in the year-long series for the fi rst time since 1978 and forged an overall winning percentage of .582. It marked Army’s fi nest overall performance in more than a decade. Seventeen of Army’s 25 intercollegiate teams carved records of .500 or better that year as the Black Knights put forth their highest year-long winning percentage since a .604 effort in 1993-94. In addition, Army reclaimed the Patriot League’s Presidents’ Cup—signifying the league’s all-sports champion—for the fi rst time since 1997. Army sent its rifl e, gymnastics, baseball, lacrosse, men’s tennis, women’s ten-nis and golf squads to postseason play, surpassing the previous standard of six teams in NCAA action. Six of Army’s eight spring teams won Patriot League titles that year. Army’s success opposite Navy snapped a 27-year drought in the all-sports rivalry, giving the Black Knights their fi rst series win over Navy since going 9-8-1 (.528) in 1977-78. The Black Knights used their 2004-05 success as a springboard to continued outstanding performances in 2005-06. Army’s fall and winter teams combined to forge back-to-back winning records for the fi rst time since 1993-94. Additionally, four Army teams earned NCAA Tournament appearances in 2005-06, highlighted by the women’s basketball team, which earned the Academy’s fi rst postseason berth at the Division I level. In 2006-07, Anderson presided over a re-surgence of Army’s men’s basketball and hockey programs, as well as the continued success of the Black Knights’ women’s basketball squad, which set a single season school record for victories at the Division I level. All three programs fl ourished again the following year with hockey earning its fi rst Atlantic Hockey Association regular-season crown and the men’s basketball squad advancing in the Patriot League postseason for the second straight year, a fi rst since 1995 and 1996. Additionally, a young Black Knights’ baseball team cap-tured its third regular season Patriot League championship in fi ve years and Army’s women’s tennis team earned its fourth consecutive conference championship and accompanying NCAA berth. Three Army teams traveled to the NCAAs last season, headlined by the women’s soccer and baseball squads. The Black Knights’ baseball team gained national at-tention by reaching the fi nals of the Austin Regional and nearly upsetting national top seed and NCAA runnerup Texas in a championship game. Off the fi eld, construction of the Foley Athletic Center, a spacious indoor practice facility for football, was completed in the winter of 2007. During Anderson’s time at West Point, Randall Hall, which houses offi ces, locker rooms and team rooms for men’s and women’s basketball, as well as luxury suites that overlook historic Michie Stadium, was also unveiled. Army’s fabled football home received additional state-of-the-art amenities last summer with the installation of a new FieldTurf play-ing surface and a sparkling 30-foot-by-50-foot scoreboard, complete with a 20-foot-by-50-foot high-defi nition video board.

In the last year alone, Anderson led the search that resulted in the hiring of Rich Ellerson as Army’s 36th head football coach. He was also instrumental in negotiat-ing a broadcast extension with CBS Sports to televise the Army-Navy football game to 2018, a new national television deal for Army’s football program, separate con-tracts with three different cities to serve as host for future Army-Navy games, and a landmark agreement with the New York Yankees that will result in Army’s football team playing six games over the next years at Yankee Stadium. As part of the deal, Army will battle Notre Dame next fall in the fi rst college football game to be played at the Yankees’ majestic new home. Prior to his busy 2008-09 academic year, Anderson brokered major broadcast agreements for Army’s football program with ESPN and WABC Radio (770-AM), as well as aligning the Black Knights’ athletics teams with Nike, as part of a signifi cant apparel deal, and Learfi eld Sports Properties. The Army “A” Club has continued to fl ourish under Anderson’s leadership, es-tablishing school records for annual giving during each of his four years at the Academy. During his time at Oregon State, Anderson directed the athletic department’s ex-ternal operations, to include marketing and promotions, sports information, ticket operations and the Beaver Athletic Student Fund. He also oversaw Oregon State’s highly successful football, men’s basketball and baseball programs, leading the search and recruitment for head football coach Mike Riley. Anderson, who ranks as the fi rst African-American to hold the position of director of athletics at West Point, was a member of an OSU management staff that bal-anced the athletic department’s budget for the fi rst time in nearly 15 years. Anderson took residence in Corvallis, Ore., in December 2002 after serving as executive associate athletic director for external affairs at the University of Califor-nia. He joined the California staff in November 1997 as assistant athletic director for annual programs and was promoted to associate athletic director for develop-ment, tickets and the Bears’ baseball team in March 1999. At California, Anderson oversaw all fundraising matters involving capital giving and capital projects, as well as ticketing operations. He also functioned as the primary major gift offi cer for the athletic department. Under his leadership, California raised more than $5 million annually, including a record number of funds in fi scal years 2001 and 2002. Anderson also headed ef-forts to raise money for a renovation of California’s Memorial Football Stadium. Before accepting his position with the Golden Bears, Anderson served as area executive director of the YMCA of the East Bay from 1995 to 1997. He was direc-tor of annual giving with Stanford University’s athletic department from 1993 to 1995. While at Stanford, Anderson worked with the Stanford University Provost, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Anderson served as director of development, marketing and communications of the San Francisco Education Fund (1990-93) and was Northern California develop-ment director for the United Negro Fund (1989-90). He was also a manager with the Xerox Corporation from 1980 through 1989. Anderson graduated from San Francisco State University in 1979 with a bach-elor’s degree in political science. He is also a 1981 graduate of the Xerox Corpora-tion’s New Manager School and the Xerox Marketing School in 1986. He completed the executive management program at the Sports Man-agement Institute in 1995. In addition to his duties at West Point, Anderson has served as chairman for the National Association of Col-legiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Division I-A Athletic Directors McClendon Minority Scholarship Steering Commit-tee and is a member of the NCAA’s Basketball Academic Enhancement Group. In Sep-tember, he became chairman of the Division I Men’s Bas-ketball Issues Committee. Most recently, Anderson was elected Third Vice President of NACDA in June. Kevin and his wife, Moira, have four children: daugh-ters, Olivia and Michaela; and sons, Kevin Jr. and Chauncey.

ATHLETIC TRAININGStationed on the fi rst fl oor of Kimsey Athletic Center, Army’s athletic training department moved into its new and spacious home in the spring of 2003.

The athletic training room now covers 9,500 square feet, housing the fi nest equipment available for the prevention, treatment and rehabili-tation of athletic injuries.

Highlights of the facility include a 1,202-square-foot cardiovascular room containing more than 25 pieces of equipment; a state-of-the-art hydrotherapy area equipped with a 2,018-square-foot rehabilitation pool, Jacuzzi, two large pools, and four regular pools; 10 treatment tables; fi ve modular taping tables; high-density storage; and a physi-cian’s offi ce with X-ray capability.

The training room also features a vast array of the latest treatment and rehabilitation equipment.

Thanks to the expansive new treatment area, Army’s athletic train-ing staff can service countless Black Knight athletes simultaneously so they are able to realize their full potential on the “fi elds of friendly strife.”

CENTER FOR ENHANCED PERFORMANCEDuring the 1988-89 academic year, the United States Military Acad-emy expanded the boundaries of college football training by creat-ing the nation’s fi rst full-time applied sport psychology facility, the Performance Enhancement Center. Col. Louis Csoka, Offi cer Repre-sentative for Army football and psychology professor, and head foot-ball coach Jim Young created a performance enhancement training program with the purpose of training and educating cadets in tech-niques that would foster their full development as leaders of character.

This program consisted of instruction and practice in the areas of goal setting, self-confi dence, attention control, stress and energy manage-ment and imagery. The success of this program with the 1989 Army football team prompted the Academy to expand it so that all USMA Corps Squad athletes could have access to this valuable training.

By 1991, the program had expanded even further, so that every cadet at West Point now has the opportunity to develop expertise in the key mental skills which underlie high-level performance in all situations. Renamed the Center for Enhanced Performance in 1994, it now offers three programs designed to maximize West Point cadet performance, as well as export these critical mental skills to the United States Army at large.

STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT

An integral component in Army’s intercollegiate athletic program is the strength and conditioning depart-ment. The most visible sign of Army’s commitment in this area is the O’Meara, Malek, Dawkins, Class of 1959 Strength Development Center in Kimsey Athletic Center, one of the fi nest facilities in the nation. The monstrous 20,000-square-foot center is located on the second fl oor of Kimsey Athletic Center and features 30 tons of plates and dumbbells; 15 pieces of cardiovascular equipment, including six high-speed tread-mills; a state-of-the-art weight training area with 16 rack and platform training stations, as well as a separate dumbbell area; and top-of-the-line Hammer strength equipment. Under the direction of Scott Swanson, the O’Meara, Malek, Dawkins, Class of 1959 Strength Development Center rivals any training facility in the coun-try. Kevin Schadt serves as the strength and conditioning coach for the hockey team.

The men’s gymnastics team falls in line with the rest of West Point’s varsity teams when it comes to visibility in the community. The Black Knights take great pride in reaching out to youth as well as serving as role models. A trip to Texas in 2008 for the All-Academy Championships also resulted in a visit to Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston by the Cadets and coaching staff, where they performed for the young patients along with bearing gifts. The team’s latest outing has been at Black Knights Alley, a family fun zone prior to Army home football games. The gymnasts entertained the crowd by walking on their hands and spinning on a mat to get their attention, then drew raves with their vaults.

IN THE COMMUNITY

The Black Knights fl ew over volunteers from Army Athletic Director Kevin Anderson, to a group of Boy Scouts, a women’s basketball player, a group of Cadets wearing Stetsons, along with the Army mule. They were such a popular group of entertainers that they were asked to perform twice this past fall. Army’s cadet-athletes have a uniqueness about them, which make them ideal role models for today’s youth, and the gym-nastics team plans to continue that trend throughout the season
