AAA-2- 2012 ARMY CROSS COUNTRY

The United States Military Academy is renowned because of its historic and distinguished 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 famous 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, challenging 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 members 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 committed to “Duty, Honor, Country” and selfl ess service to our nation.

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; professional 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 Bicentennial in 2002. But West Point’s role in America’s history dates to the Revolutionary 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 traffi 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 Jeff erson signed the legislation establishing the U.S. Military Academy to create an institution devoted to the arts and sciences of warfare. This eff ectively eliminated America’s wartime reliance on foreign engineers and artillerists. West Point became the nation’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 standards, instilled military discipline and emphasized honorable conduct. Early graduates were largely responsible for the construction of the nation’s initial railway lines, bridges, harbors, and roads. Although the curriculum maintains its focus on engineering, in recent decades the program of instruction has markedly changed, providing cadets a selection of more than 40 majors. This tradition of academic and military excellence, 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 leaders 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, MacArthur, 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 areas: 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 electives 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 characteristics of 21st century offi cers. The four-year academic experience leads to a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Army. Physical development is achieved through a rigorous athletic and physical education program. Each cadet participates at the intercollegiate, 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, followed 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 increasing 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. Integrity 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 leaders of character. Admission is keenly competitive and is open to young men and women 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 individuals. 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 diff erent institution from the small academy legislated into being 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 graduate more than 900 new offi cers annually, both men and women, who are prepared for leadership roles within the Army. With the expansion of knowledge and the changing needs of the United States Army and the nation, life at West Point has changed to keep pace. Ever mindful of its rich heritage, the U.S. Military Academy is developing leaders for tomorrow, and its focus remains the national needs of the 21st century.

FRANK BORMAN ULYSSES S. GRANT ALEXANDER HAIG ROBERT KIMBROUGH JAMES KIMSEY NORMAN SCHWARZKOPF

Distinguished Graduates

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 commission 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 Appomattox 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.

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 Expeditionary 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 retirement in 1924.

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

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.

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 in 2009.

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 responsible for the revitalization of the Academy. He was later promoted to General of the Army and served as Supreme Allied Commander in the Pacifi c Theater during 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 Division 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 history in December 1944, when he quickly turned the Third Army northward to reinforce the Allied southern fl ank against the German attack in the Battle of the Bulge. The General’s doctrine of aggressive employment of massive armor forces continue to prove themselves in combat arenas around the world.

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.

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER ’15 During World War II, Eisenhower served as Supreme Commander of Allied 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 University 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).

FIDEL V. RAMOS ’50 One of the Academy’s international cadets, Ramos served as a Philippine Army offi cer after graduation. He eventually 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.

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 nations around the world. After retiring, Schwartzkopf received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

PETER M. DAWKINS ’59 Dawkins was Cadet Brigade Commander (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 chairman and CEO of Primerica.

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

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

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

DAVID H. PETRAEUS ‘74 Petraeus, a four-star general, served as the commander of the International Security Assistance Force and commander of the U.S. Forces Afghanistan from July 4, 2010-July 18, 2011 and was responsible for implement President Barack Obama’s strategies and policies in Afghanistand during that time. He also served as commander of U.S. Central Command from 2008-2010. The Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y., native was unanimously as the next Director of the Central Intelligence Agency on June 30, 2011.

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

OMAR N. BRADLEY ’15 During his career, Bradley earned a reputation as one of the best infantry commanders in World War II. He commanded the 82nd Airborne and 28th Infantry Divisions before going on to command 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.

“I believe in the code ... ʻDuty, Honor, Country.̓ I believe in service to oneʼs country. The institution of the armed forces has thrived on its commitment to developing excellence. It is meritocracy in action. Race, religion, wealth, background count not.” - PRESIDENT GEORGE H.W. BUSH

“From the birth of our existence, America has had a faith in the future -- a belief that where weʼre going is better than where weʼve been, even when the path ahead is uncertain. To fulfi ll that promise, generations of Americans have built upon the foundation of our forefathers -- fi nding opportunity, fi ghting injustice, forging a more perfect union. Our achievement would not be possible without the Long Gray Line that has sacrifi ced for duty, for honor, for country.” - PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

Director of Athletics Boo Corrigan

BOO CORRIGAN • DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS • NOTRE DAME ’90

Superintendent Lt. Gen. David H. Huntoon Jr., announced the hiring of Boo Corrigan as the Academy’s director of athletics on Feb. 1, 2011.

“We have an opportunity to work every day with a truly exceptional group of young people,” Corrigan said. “The opportunities they receive through intercollegiate athletics will help shape their own leadership styles as they become offi cers in the U.S. Army. We have a great team that focuses daily on our cadet-athletes. We strive to enhance their overall experience as they develop

into the leaders our nation needs.”

In his short time as athletic director, Corrigan has strengthened and expanded Army Athletics’ relationships in several key areas. In recent months, Army has secured a new apparel agreement with Nike, a new pouring rights contract with Coke and bringing in the Aspire Group to enhance ticket sales and better serve Army season ticket holders. Corrigan also crafted the Team Army concept, a comprehensive plan designed to add signifi cant value to Army’s corporate sponsorships while maintaining the tradition of West Point Athletics.

Corrigan, who has a proven record as a fundraiser, spearheaded changes in the Army A Club and ticket operations that have resulted in more than $20 million dollars in major gifts and record-setting annual giving during his tenure. During that time the funding for a new lacrosse facility, that is scheduled to break ground, was secured.

In addition to his role in enhancing revenues for Army Athletics, Corrigan led a strategic planning process that developed a new mission statement and goals for the department.

In his fi rst full year at West Point, Corrigan oversaw a program that won three Patriot League championship (baseball, women’s soccer, women’s tennis) and sent four teams to the NCAA postseason (rifl e). Eighteen cadets earned a major award from their conference, including six Rookies of the Year selections and three Player of the Year winners.

Cadet-athletes have continued to thrive in the classroom under Corrigan’s watch. In 2011-12, Army had fi ve Academic All-Americans, including four fi rst-team selections. The Black Knights’ football team boasted two fi rst-team CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in 2011, a fi rst for the program since 1957. The Black Knights also boasted three Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year, including overall men’s winner Brendan Buckley. In addition, former football standout Andrew Rodriguez became the fi rst Army player to win the National Football Foundation’s Willam V. Campbell Trophy, which is presented annually to the nation’s top football scholar-athlete. Rodriguez later was honored with the Amateur Athletic Union’s James E. Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete in the country. He was the fi rst Army player to receive the award since 1946 and was just the third player in history (Peyton Manning, Tim Tebow) to win both the Campbell Trophy and Sullivan Award.

Army has been the focus of national attention since Corrigan’s arrival. He was instrumental in supporting the CBS documentary, “Game of Honor,” that chronicled the Black Knights’ 2011 football season leading up to its

annual showdown with arch-rival Navy. Not only was the two-hour program broadcast to a national audience on Showtime, but also won the Emmy Award for Best Sports Documentary. The Army football team was also the focus of a behind-the-scenes book titled, “Soldiers First,” written by New York Times writer Joe Drape.

Corrigan has also made his mark on the aesthetics of historic Michie Stadium. In order to upgrade the appearance and provide a better experience for Army fans, Corrigan implemented a Michie Stadium branding and signage campaign that began in 2011. The fi rst phase of the project was completed prior to the 2012 season.

In addition to his duties at West Point, Corrigan has been an active leader in the Patriot League, serving as chairman of the conference’s Broadband Committee.

Corrigan, who was the senior associate athletic director for external aff airs at Duke University starting in August 2008, brings a wealth of leadership to his post. He is a proven administrator with 18 previous years of experience in all areas of revenue generation, external aff airs, staff management and leadership.

Corrigan’s chief responsibilities at Duke included the oversight of the Blue Devil corporate partnerships and the Marketing, Promotions, Ticket, Internet Operations, Sports Information and Video Services departments. In only two years at Duke, Corrigan was responsible for the negotiation of multi-media rights to ISP.

A supervisor of the 2009 NCAA Champion women’s tennis and 2010 NCAA Champion men’s lacrosse programs, Corrigan was a part of three NCAA Championships at Duke in just two seasons. He is currently a member of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Rules committee and the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Lacrosse Committee, while serving on the Executive Budget Committee at Duke.

Prior to arriving at Duke in August of 2008, he oversaw Notre Dame’s corporate relations and marketing as an associate athletic director for fi ve years. During his stint at Notre Dame, Corrigan spearheaded the redesign of its offi cial athletics website and creation of 15-20 hours of original video content weekly. That resulted in a 35 percent increase in page views and unique users. Corrigan also worked directly with ISP Sports, CSTV, and NBC Sports from a sales and marketing standpoint.

Before joining the staff at Notre Dame, Corrigan spent nearly three years as the associate athletic director for marketing at the United States Naval Academy. He was responsible for turning the marketing department from a defi cit to profi t in his fi rst year with full budget responsibility for the department. Corrigan also was intimately involved with the re-branding of the Annual Giving Campaign (The Blue and Gold), which led to an increase of 75 percent year over year donations.

His collegiate experience also inclcudes a stint as assistant director of marketing at Florida State from 1992-95.

Corrigan is a 1990 University of Notre Dame graduate with a degree in economics. He is married to the former Kristen Acetoa, a former fi eld hockey and lacrosse player at the University of Virginia who also earned a master’s degree from the school. The couple has three children, Finley (11), Tre (9) and Brian (8). He is the youngest of seven children of Gene and Lena Corrigan.

Troy Engle brings a wealth of international and collegiate coaching experience to West Point as he enters his fi fth season as the head coach of the Army men’s and women’s cross country and track and fi eld teams.

This is his third stint at the U.S. Military Academy after previously serving as an instructor of physical education and assistant coach for

the men’s and women’s track and fi eld teams from 1995-96 and again in 1998.

In his fi rst season at the helm, Engle guided men’s teams to a sweep of the cross country, indoor, and outdoor Patriot League Championships, and was named the League’s men’s Coach of the Year in both the Indoor and Outdoor track campaigns.

In 2009-10, Engle led the women’s cross country team to its fi rst Star Meet win since 2005, as well as another indoor-outdoor season sweep of the Midshipmen by the Black Knight men’s track squad. The 2010 track season was also highlighted by Army’s 14th men’s indoor Patriot League title and an NCAA Outdoor Championship trip by Domonick Sylve. Sylve qualifi ed for the national semifi nals in the 110-meter hurdles after winning his heat in the national quarterfi nal.

Success continued in 2010-11 as women’s cross country defeated Navy for its fi rst back-to-back Star Meet wins since 2004-05. Men’s track and fi eld swept both the indoor and outdoor Star Meets for their sixth-straight victories against the Midshipmen.

Sylve capped off his record-breaking career by earning All-America honors after advancing to the national semifi nals once again. Sylve placed 11th overall at the 2011 NCAA Championships to earn second-team recognition, becoming the 34th All-American in Academy track and fi eld history.

In 2012, the women’s distance contingent shined for Engle as freshman Lisa Junta became Army’s fi rst ECAC Champion on the track with her winning time in the 10,000-meter run, simultaneously qualifying for the NCAA Regionals.

The Black Knights spent most of the season attacking the Academy record book, as the cadets posted 47 marks that rank among the top 10 all-time, including two Army records. Junta accounted for seven top-10 times during her fi rst season.

The Black Knights have also been successful in the classroom under Engle as men’s cross country has been named to the USTFCCCA All-Academic team list in each of his four seasons and the women being recognized in each of the last three seasons.

Senior Tom Wagner was named the Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year following the 2012 outdoor season, becoming the second Black Knight (Andrew Ferrara, 2009) under Engle’s watch to earn the distinction.

In February 2011, Engle was once against selected by USA Track & Field as an assistant coach for endurance events for the Pan-American Games. The 2011 Pan-American Games took place in October in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Engle coached the U.S. track and fi eld team in the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing. During his tenure with the United States Olympic Committee, which began in 2006, Engle also served as the associate director of the Paralympic Division. Engle directed all aspects of the U.S. track and fi eld team’s preparation for the Paralympic Games and served as the head coach at all major international competitions leading up to the Paralympics, including the Pan American and World Cup games. Engle orchestrated a growth in the program that resulted in an increase in the U.S. team’s medal count and a jump in the track and fi eld standings to second behind China.

Prior to joining the USOC, Engle was the head coach of the men’s and women’s track and fi eld and cross country teams, assistant athletic director, and athletic department business manager at Division III Occidental College in Los Angeles, Calif. He turned the women’s cross country team, which was initially unable to fi eld a full program, into a Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title winner by his fourth year.

In his seventh and fi nal year at the school, Engle led the team to its fi rst NCAA appearance in 12 years. Engle garnered three West Regional NCAA Division III Coach of the Year honors at

Occidental; one for cross country (2006) and two in indoor track and fi eld (2003 and 2005).

A native of Council Grove, Kan., Engle served as an assistant coach for the men’s and women’s track and fi eld teams at Kansas State University for the 1998-99 academic year. There, he helped coach all the events and assisted in recruiting a class which was rated fourth-best in Division I by Track and Field News.

In between his fi rst two stints at Army, Engle served as the director of sports for the Papua New Guinea Sports Commission. Engle directed all sports development programs for the nation of fi ve million people and served as the national track and fi eld coach. He fi rst served as the national coach for Papua New Guinea between 1987 and 1991.

Engle closed out a successful stint as head men’s and women’s track and cross country coach at Washington (Mo.) University (1992-94) by guiding the women’s outdoor track and fi eld and cross country teams to the University Athletic Association title in his fi nal season. His eff orts earned him UAA Coach of the Year honors in both track and cross country. Engle also served as the men’s track and cross country coach at Swarthmore College (1991-92).

In addition to his international and collegiate coaching experience, Engle is a respected administrator and clinician. He was a member of the NCAA Track and Field Committee from 2001-06, chairing it from 2005-06.

Engle has also served in various leadership capacities within USA Track and Field, both as assistant coach at such meets as the 1995 World Indoor Championships in Barcelona and through his involvement with the Coaching Education Program. He has lectured in the Level II endurance program since 1998.

In addition, he has conducted clinics for the world governing body of track and fi eld, the International Association of Athletic Federations, in four nations and has lectured at numerous coaching clinics around the United States.

Engle earned his bachelor’s degree from Amherst College in 1983 and a master’s degree in sport management from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1985. He currently resides at West Point with his wife, Katrina, daughter, Nawen, and new baby girl, Kassidy, born in August 2012.

Shannon O’Brien will begin her fi rst season with the Black Knight cross country program in 2012. O’Brien, who will also help guide Army’s distance contingent during track season, comes to West Point from Florida State, where she served two years as meet director and graduate manager for the women’s track and fi eld and cross country programs.

“I’m excited to welcome Shannon into our program,” said Army head

coach Troy Engle. “When looking at candidates, she stood out as having the right kind of experience while also having a true passion for the profession of coaching. She is full of energy and enthusiasm and has worked with one of the top distance programs in the country at Florida State.”

At FSU, O’Brien was responsible for designing a training regiment for walk-on athletes as well as conducting daily practices for that contingent. With her guidance, four student-athletes were off ered scholarships to run for the perennial national power.

“The rich history of the Academy along with the program that Coach Engle has worked so hard to develop made the decision to come to West Point an easy one,” said O’Brien. “I’m excited to get started. I’m completely on board with the direction in which this

program is going and the goals we’re striving toward.”

Working alongside FSU head coach Karen Harvey, the women’s cross country team placed second at the NCAAs in 2010 and fourth in 2011, while the track team’s distance unit enjoyed similar success on the regional and national stages.

Prior to her two-year stint with the Seminoles, O’Brien was an assistant coach/coaching intern at Dartmouth College with the Big Green’s track and cross country teams. O’Brien got her fi rst taste of recruiting while in Hanover, N.H., as she worked on arranging offi cial visits and contacting potential student-athletes.

O’Brien also spent her undergraduate years in New Hampshire, receiving a bachelor’s degree in English from Keene State College in 2005. The middle-distance specialist was an All-American for the Owls in the 800 meters, and still maintains her hold on school records in the 500 meters, 400-meter hurdles and 4x400-meter relay.

Following graduation, she worked at her alma mater as an assistant coach through the summer of 2006.

O’Brien, who received her master’s degree in sport management from Florida State earlier this year, has a USATF Level 1 Certifi cation and has worked for running camps across the country, including Vermont and Oregon.

2012 Season Preview

Army’s 2012 seven-meet cross country schedule will get under way on Aug. 31 when the Black Knights host the Army Open at the West Point Golf Course. Slated to run against the new-look Black Knights are SUNY Maritime, Merchant Marine, Monroe, Ramapo and the College of New Rochelle (women).

For Army, the perspectives for the women and men vary greatly. Both teams graduated a plethora of signifi cant contributors from a year ago, but the responses to those losses have been diff erent.

On the women’s side, the Black Knights lost a pair of 2011 All-Patriot League performers in Chelsea Prahl and Marcie Nordt. To their benefi t, however, this past spring was highlighted outstanding performances by the young members of the women’s distance contingent on the track, providing an aura of optimism as the cross country season approaches. Rising sophomore Lisa Junta became Army’s fi rst individual ECAC track champion, capturing the 10,000-meter title at Princeton while also earning a bid to the NCAA Regionals.

Junta, who fi nished her Patriot League season tabbed the Rookie of the Meet at the outdoor championship, will lead from the front along with senior captain Mary Prakel. “Mary has set a great tone for the team,” said

fi fth-year head coach Troy Engle. “She’s proven herself to be an outstanding second lieutenant candidate and will be a phenomenal leader who will guide the team to good things, especially late in the season.”

Also fortifying the lineup this year will be junior Liz O’Donnell, who was the third Black Knight

to cross the line at the 2011 league championship meet after being the conference’s top rookie her freshman season. O’Donnell’s track season in 2012 also showed promise, etching her name into the Army record books for some of the best fi nishes all-time in the 3,000- and 5,000-meter runs.

Army also welcomes back a pair of familiar faces in senior Jill Busby and junior Kelly Kingma. Busby, who spent the 2011 season away from the program, made waves beginning in her fi rst season in uniform in 2009, posting Army’s top time in fi ve meets, including a runner-up fi nish against rival Navy. Kingma, who was initially listed on the Black Knights’ roster her freshman season, spent the past two years competing with the West Point triathlon team.

Engle has also brought in an impressive group of newcomers to reinforce the experienced group of returners. Despite dealing with some injuries out of this summer’s Cadet Basic Training, Engle remains high on his class of 2016, especially Lindsay Gabow, who is expected to make an immediate impact.

“The key to our women’s success this fall is keeping everyone healthy,” remarked Engle. “We’ve got the manpower, we’ve got the horses and we absolutely have the depth to have an exciting season, particularly postseason, we’ve just got to stay healthy.

“Our job for the women is to say ‘whoa’ and rein them in, rather than ‘giddy up.’ On the men’s side, it’s the other

way around.”Just days away from opening their season, the Army men have yet to impress Engle and fi rst-year assistant coach Shannon O’Brien. “Our guys came into camp behind where we had hoped they would be,” stated Engle. “We’re not in the kind of shape we need to be in to run competitively at this point of the year. We’ve got to put in a lot of work now to get where we need to be to run against Navy and the rest of the Patriot League.”

Army’s roster features four of its top-six fi nishers from last season’s conference meet, including second team all-league performer Dan Jester and the Black Knights’ No. 2 fi nisher Ricardo Galindo. But signifi cant losses to graduation in constant contributors and vocal leaders Barrett LeHardy, Dan Nix and Mike Mitchell have made Engle apprehensive about the fall campaign.

“We have some guys who have the potential, I’m just waiting to see which of them show it early in the season,” said Engle. “We have a long way to go to where we want to be, but on a positive note, we have the talent. Ricky Galindo has the innate ability to be one of the top distance runners in the conference. Mark Castelli returning from surgery last season as well as three sophomores in Nathan Fisher, Andreas Kellas and Trevor Lafontaine who have the potential to have good, solid seasons, are also

reasons for us to be excited. But we’ve got to have some of the upperclassmen step up. They have to stand up and want to take charge of this team from a competitive standpoint. That’s going to be our biggest test.”

Senior Kevin Russell, who was a consistent contributor during the 2011 cross

country season, will serve as the men’s team captain this season. “Kevin will be a great captain,” said Engle. “He’s a miler who is making up a lot of lost time as a cross country runner, working on that 8K course.”

Similar to the women, a strong group of incoming freshmen will compete for some of the top spots on the roster. Army Prep School product Ludo Funfrock and former New Mexico State runner Eric Fenton have the ability to make their way into the lineup, as well as Hunter Firebaugh, Tom Giradot, Alex Duff y and Mitch Dutton, among others.

Friday’s meet marks the fi rst of two consecutive home competitions for the Black Knights. The Army Open will help Engle gauge the progress the teams have made through preseason in a more competitive environment than daily practices, but the fi rst true test will be the tri-meet the following week. Army will welcome regional contenders Cornell and Binghamton at the West Point Golf Course on Sept. 7, for the fi nal home contest of the season.

The Black Knights’ schedule will follow a similar mold of years past with the Iona Meet of Champions at Van Cortlandt Park on Sept. 15, and the Paul Short Run at Lehigh on Sept. 28. Both races lead up to the Star Meet against rival Navy, which is scheduled for Oct. 13 in Annapolis, Md. Following the showdown with the Midshipmen, the postseason commences with the Patriot League Championships hosted by Colgate on Oct. 27, and concluding with the NCAA Regional Championships on Nov. 10 in Madison, Conn.

The Patriot League, which was founded on the principles of admitting athletes who are academically representative of their class, is in its third decade of academic and athletic achievement. Participation in athletics at Patriot League institutions is viewed as an important component of a well-rounded education.

The Patriot League began as a successful Division I-AA (now called Football Championship Subdivision) football conference in 1986. Full League members include American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh and Navy. Associate members include Fordham and Georgetown in football and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in women’s rowing.

These member institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation. Alumni from Patriot League colleges and universities have played a leadership role in the shaping of our country.

In the classroom, the Patriot League’s full-member institutions, individually and collectively, consistently rank among the top Division I programs in the NCAA Graduation Rates Report. Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked fi rst among all Division I conferences in student-athlete graduation rates according to the NCAA Graduation Rates report. The League fi nished at the top spot with 96 percent of its teams reporting a graduation rate of 85 percent or higher in the most recent data. In addition, 90 Patriot League teams earned NCAA Academic Performance Program Public Recognition Awards after posting academic progress rate scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports.

League members have also distinguished themselves on the fi eld of play. The Patriot League sponsors championship competition in 23 sports (11 for men; 12 for women). Championship teams from 14 sports are guaranteed advancement into NCAA postseason competition: baseball, men and women’s basketball, fi eld hockey, football, men’s golf, men and women’s lacrosse, men and women’s soccer, softball, men and women’s tennis and volleyball.

Along the timeline of Patriot League history about three-quarters of the Patriot League’s Scholar-Athletes of the Year also received All-Patriot League status for their exemplary athletic performance.

In the Patriot League’s history, more than 200 student-athletes have been recognized as CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, while more than 12,000 have qualifi ed for the League’s Academic Honor Roll. More than 30 student-athletes have received NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships. Additionally, Patriot League student-athletes have earned Fulbright Scholarships, Rhodes Scholarships, Marshall Scholarships and NACDA/Disney Scholarships.
