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 na-tion’s most famous and influential 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 officer 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 com-mitted to “Duty, Honor, Country” and selfless service to our nation.

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 Com-manding 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.

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 of-ficer in Army history, behind only George Washington, Pershing served as com-mander 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 com-manders, and through repeated successes on the battlefield, 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.

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 Pacific 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 Com-mander, Japan, and as commander, United Nations Command in the Far East. He was one of only five officers to be promoted to General of the Army (five 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 com-mander 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 remark-able feats in military history in December 1944, when he quickly turned the Third Army northward to reinforce the Allied southern flank 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.

OMAR N. BRADLEY ’15 During his career, Bradley earned a repu-tation as one of the best infantry com-manders in World War II. He commanded the 82nd Airborne and 28th Infantry Divi-sions 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 first Chair-man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1949 to 1953. He was the last Army officer to be promoted to General of the Army (five stars), and the Bradley fighting vehicle is named in his honor.

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. Dur-ing that time, he was promoted to General of the Army (five stars). After the war, he served as Army Chief of Staff from 1945 to 1948 and was named President of Co-lumbia University in 1948. He served as the 34th President of the United States from

1953 to 1961 and was one of only five offi-cers to be promoted to General of the Army (five stars).

ALExANDER M. HAIG JR. ’47 Haig served as Chief of Staff to Presi-dent Richard Nixon from 1973 to 1974; Su-preme Allied Commander in Europe 1974 to 1979; President of United Technologies Corporation 1980 to 1981 and Secretary of State during the Reagan administra-tion from 1981 to 1982.

FRANk BORMAN ’50 An astronaut from 1962 to 1970, Borman commanded the first circumlunar flight of the earth. He later served as President of Eastern Airlines.

FIDEL V. RAMOS ’50 One of the Academy’s international ca-dets, Ramos served as a Philippine Army officer after graduation. He eventually be-came the country’s military Chief of Staff and later Secretary of National Defense. He also served as President of the Repub-lic of the Philippines from 1992 to 1998.

EDWIN E. ALDRIN ’51 An astronaut from 1963 to 1972, Aldrin participated in the first 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 first 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 re-sponded 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 Free-dom.

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.

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.

MARTIN E. DEMPSEY ’74General Martin E. Dempsey serves as the 18th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In this capacity, he serves as the princi-pal military adviser to the President, the Secretary of Defense and the National Security Council. By law, he is the nation’s highest-ranking military officer. Prior to becoming Chairman, the general served as the Army’s 37th Chief of Staff. Dempsey served as the Deputy Commander and then Acting Commander of U.S. Central Command. Before becoming Chief of Staff of the Army, he commanded U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command.

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. He currently serves as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army.

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 flight simulation engineer and participated in a space shuttle mission in 2009.

“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

Page 11: 2014 15 Army Wrestling Media Guide
Page 12: 2014 15 Army Wrestling Media Guide

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 officer in the U.S. Army; and a lifetime of selfless 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 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 fortifications 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 defen-sive barriers. A 100-ton iron chain was extended across the Hudson to control river traffic. Today, several links from that chain are arranged at Trophy Point as a reminder of West Point’s original fortifications. In 1802 President Thomas Jefferson signed the legislation estab-lishing the U.S. Military Academy to create an institution devoted to the arts and sciences of warfare. This effectively eliminated Amer-ica’s wartime reliance on foreign engineers and artillerists. West Point became the nation’s first 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 construc-tion 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 experi-ence. 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 conflicts, MacArthur, Ridgway, Westmoreland, Abrams, Schwarzkopf and Abizaid were in command. Academy graduates have also excelled in air and space explora-tion, and countless others went on from military service to become leaders in medicine, law, business, religion and science. Since its founding, the Military Academy fulfills 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 ad-dition, the fields-of-study and majors nurture the development of cre-ativity, critical thinking, and self-directed learning, essential charac-teristics of 21st century officers. 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 inter-collegiate, 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 first day at West Point. Most military training takes place during the summer, with new cadets undergoing Cadet Basic Training, or Beast Barracks, their first

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 first- 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 first day. Integrity is reflected 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 ar-ray 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 Olym-pics event each spring. Today’s Military Academy is a vastly different institution from the small acad-emy legislated into being by Congress in 1802. Originally just 1,800 acres, the Academy has grown to more than 16,000 acres. The first graduating class numbered just two men; today’s classes graduate more than 900 new officers an-nually, 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 cen-tury.

army Wrestling Facilities

ARMY WRestling FAcilities Thanks to the generosity of sup-portive graduates, the Army wrestling team boasts among the nation’s finest facilities. The Gerald Lodge Wrestling Room, located on the second floor of Arvin Gymnasium, is the training home of the Black Knights. The massive workout space was re-designed three years ago and features four mats for drills and instruction with an additional two mats in a connecting room. A locker room with large wooden stalls connects to the Gerald Lodge Wrestling Room and is just steps away from a wrestlers-only lounge which in-cludes a large screen television with DVD and surround sound, couches, wireless Internet and study areas. Cardio equipment is located through-out the room, allowing wrestlers sev-eral options for workouts. Arvin Gymnasium, which re-opened at the start of the 2006-07 academic year, is a 495,100-square foot building that includes eight large basketball courts, a state of the art rock climbing wall, racquetball courts, boxing rooms, two expansive weight rooms, a mas-sive cardio/fitness area, indoor track, three swimming pools, athletic train-ing facilities and a juice bar. It is, without question, one of the finest wrestling facilities in the nation. Black Knight wrestlers can use these top-notch facilities to their advantage as they strive to become national champions on the mat. The wrestling team hosts events at two locations, Gillis Field House or Christl Arena inside the Holleder Center, both boasting sizable locker rooms and both located just minutes from Arvin Gymnasium.

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; five modular taping tables; high-density storage; and a physician’s office with X-ray capability.

BOO CORRIGAN

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS4TH YEAR // NOTRE DAME, 1990

Now in the midst of his fourth year as the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at the Army West Point, Boo Corrigan has guided the Black Knights to incredible successes on the fields of friendly strife, victo-ries over Navy, surpassed ambitious fundraising goals, upgraded sev-eral facilities and added three varsity sports, all while cadet-athletes continued to raise the bar academically.

Corrigan was named Director of Intercollegiate Athletics on Feb. 1, 2011 and the short time since, Army has won the “Star” series against Navy, claimed the overall competition against the Midshipmen, added Academic All-American certificates, raised the annual fund by nearly $3 million, increased the “For Us All Capital Campaign by $55 million,” completed fundraising on a new lacrosse building and established 10new program endow-ments. Under Corrigan’s leadership, Army has added women’s la-crosse and men’s and women’s rugby to its offering of sports with nearly a quarter of the Corps of Cadets, around 1,000, com-peting in varsity sports under the athletic department. In addition to the additional sport offerings, a massive state-of-the art videoboard was added to Tate Rink, a press box was included at Doubleday Field at Johnson Stadium, the ticket of-fice was upgraded and moved to a more fan-friendly location in Michie Stadium and work will begin the fall on a lacrosse building that will include locker rooms, team rooms, weight room, athletic training space and much more for both the men’s and women’s lacrosse programs. A branding campaign that started in 2011 at Michie Stadium will continue with additions to Christl Arena this fall. Corrigan has strengthened and expanded Army Athletics’ rela-tionships in several key areas. In his tenure, 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 significant value to Army’s corporate sponsorships while maintaining the tradition of West Point Athletics. In his first full three years at West Point, Corrigan has over-seen a program that owns 11 Patriot League regular season or tournament championships and sent eight teams to the NCAA postseason. Thirty-three cadets have earned a major award from their conference, Last season, Corrigan led Army Athletics to its first star se-ries victory since 1996, going 12-11 in star competitions against Navy. It was the 12th victory in the series for the Academy. West Point went 18-13 overall against the Mids during the year and has a 34-29-1 mark versus Navy in the last two seasons. Army finished a very successful campaign in 2013-14 with an overall record of 235-173-7 for a .575 winning percentage, the highest mark since 2004-05. In 2013-14, the Black Knights brought home league titles in men’s tennis, baseball and women’s basketball. Army won regu-lar season titles in men’s tennis and baseball, while the women’s hoops squad won the league tournament and was a 13th seed in the NCAA Tournament. Ten of Army’s squads participated in Pa-triot League postseason, while rifle earned an NCAA berth for the 11th-straight season. Army collected more than 100 all-league citations in 2012-13 alone. Hockey’s Cheyne Rocha and lacrosse’s Brendan Buckley each captured the Senior CLASS Award in their respective sports, making Army the only school in the nation to have multiple win-ners in 2012-13. During the 2012-13 season, Army teams combined to post an overall record of 236-183-8 for a .562 winning percentage. The winter sports programs had their best season in five years as

the women’s basketball team won the Patriot League regular season title, the men’s basketball team posted its first win-ning season in 28 years and the rifle squad advanced to the NCAA Championships for the 10th consecutive season. It was also a great year in the competition against fel-low service academies. Army split the season series versus Navy, 16-16-1, marking the best winning percentage against the Mids (.500) since 2004-05. The Black Knights owned a 4-2-1 record against Air Force, improving the record to 20-18-2 (.525) versus service academy foes in 2012-13. Cadet-athletes have continued to thrive in the classroom under Corrigan’s watch. In his three full years, Army has boasted 12 Academic All-Americans, including seven first-team selections. Lacrosse’s Brendan Buckely became the first Army athlete to capture Academic All-American of the Year honors in 2012. In 2011, the Black Knights’ football team boasted two first-team CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, a first for the program since 1957. Since the start of the 2011-12 season, Army boasts six Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year, including Buckley, a two-time overall men’s win-ner. During the 2013-14 season, Army registered five Aca-demic All-American selections. Twenty of Army’s 24 NCAA programs scored above the na-tional average in the 2013 NCAA APR report. The men’s cross country and wrestling teams earned public recognition for finishing in the top 10 percent of their respective sport. The cross country squad boasted a perfect score of 1,000. In addition, former football standout Andrew Rodriguez, Class of 2012, became the first Army player to win the Na-tional 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 Ath-letic Union’s James E. Sullivan Award as the top amateur ath-lete in the country. He was the first 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 Tro-phy and Sullivan Award. Army has been the focus of national attention since Corrigan’s arrival. He was in-strumental in supporting the CBS documentary, “Game of Honor,” that chronicled the Black Knights’ 2011 football season leading up to its an-nual 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 foot-ball team was also the focus of a behind-the-scenes book titled, “Soldiers First,” written by New York Times writer Joe Drape. 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 direc-tor for external affairs at Duke University starting in August 2008, brings a wealth of leadership to his post. He is a prov-en administrator with 18 previous years of experience in all areas of revenue generation, external affairs, staff manage-ment 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 served as 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 asso-ciate athletic director for five years. During his stint at Notre Dame, Corrigan spearheaded the redesign of its official ath-letics 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 mar-keting standpoint. Before joining the staff at Notre Dame, Corrigan spent nearly three years as the associate athletic director for mar-keting at the United States Naval Academy. He was respon-sible for turning the marketing department from a deficit to profit in his first 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 includes a stint as assis-tant 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 Aceto, a former field 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, Tre and Brian. He is the youngest of seven children of Gene and Lena Corrigan.

kevin Ward

head coach

First season

oklahoma state ’05

Kevin Ward, who turned a wrestling program built from scratch at Ouachita Baptist University into a national contender, was named Army’s 10th head wrestling coach on Aug. 1, 2014. As the first and only head coach of Ouachita Baptist’s wrestling program, Ward led the Tigers to top-15 finishes at the NCAA Tournament in each of the last three seasons. Ward coached 10 All-Americans and two NCAA finalists, Dallas Smith and Josh Myers, during his time at Ouachita. Ward was named the NCAA Division II Coach of the Year after guiding the Tigers to a fourth-place finish at the NCAAs and an 8-5 dual match record last season. Five of Ward’s wrestlers claimed All-America honors in 2014, including Myers, who was the national runner-up at the 141-pound weight class. After the program’s inaugural 2010-11 campaign, Ward coached three All-Americans and steered the Tigers to a 15th-place showing at the NCAA Tour-nament the following season. The program took another step forward during the 2012-13 season with its first-ever national runner-up in Smith, while the team placed 12th overall at the NCAAs. Ward was also a major factor in fundraising for the wrestling squad. He helped raise more than $300,000 in donations to the up-and-coming pro-

gram during his four-year stint. Over his first two months at Ouachita, Ward led the renovation effort of the team’s weight room, which hadn’t been updated in nearly 30 years. An accomplished wrestler at Oklahoma State, Ward started his coaching career as a graduate assistant with the Cowboys during the 2006-07 season, while earning his master’s degree in health and human performance. He assisted legendary head coach John Smith with drill sessions and preparing the team for competitions, as well as coaching at open tournaments. Oklahoma State posted a 14-5 overall record and took third place at the Big 12 Championships with Ward on staff. The Cowboys placed fifth at the NCAA Championships and had four All-Americans, including two national runner-ups, Cole-man Scott and Johny Hendricks. As a member of one of the most storied programs in the coun-try, Ward had a tremendous amount of success as a wrestler at Oklahoma State. Ward was on four NCAA National Championship teams (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006) and two undefeated squads (2002-03 and 2004-05). In 2005, Ward beat three opponents in a row to grab the Big 12 title at the 157-pound weight class. He won 12 of his first 14 matches that season and posted a 23-12 record overall. Ward returned to the conference championship the following season, earning a runner-up finish. Ward qualified for the NCAA Tournament twice and was a three-time National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) Academic All-American. The Cowboys won four Big 12 championships in a row during Ward’s time in Stillwater. He graduated with a bach-elor’s degree in sociology. Along with his coaching duties over the years, Ward has served on the NWCA Executive Committee and Board of Directors, as well as handling the role of Vice President-elect of the Division II Coaches Association. Ward and his wife, Hannah, reside at West Point.

What they’re saying about kevin WardJohn smith, Head Wrestling Coach, oklahoma state University“Kevin has great patience. I have watched him develop a team in the short term and he has done so with real patience. He was always business-minded and that’s where his interest was as far as academics. He had great passion for wrestling when he graduated. He went into business and came back to wrestling and we are glad he did. He is a great young coach and West Point will be happy with Kevin as the head coach.”

Heath eslinger, Head Wrestling Coach, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga“I think this is a great hire. Kevin has the ‘it’ factor when it comes to coaching. He has a vision for what he believes a program should look like. Not a team, a program. I have worked with him in camp and on the mat and have had a chance to see him run a program. He does a great job in every aspect.”

Mike Moyer, executive Director, national Wrestling Coaches association“Number one, he has phenomenal CEO skills. He is a tireless worker who has a coaching philosophy that is closely aligned with educational values. He is on the Executive Committee of the NWCA and is flat out a great leader. He is a terrific, bright shining star in our sport. He is a tireless, passionate coach that will serve the Academy and the athletes very well.”

Mark branch, Head Wrestling Coach, University of Wyoming“He has a deep background at one of the highest wrestling institutions in the country, coming from Oklahoma State. Then he went to a unique place to start a wrestling program and really built it from the ground up and he was able to achieve an incredible amount of success in a very short period of time. I’ve known Kevin for a lot of years. He’s a very bright young man and there’s no doubt in my mind that he’ll be able to adapt not only to Division I, but coaching at the Academy. I think he’s going to do well and really figure out where his strengths need to be at that institution.”

Greg Hatcher, President of the arkansas Wrestling association“Being a great coach is like being a great salesman. You don’t know if you have one until they have performed. You can’t judge by looking at them. You can’t judge by interviewing. You can always tell with the results. Who would have thought you could hire a guy who wrestled at Oklahoma State and then went to work in business? We pulled this guy out of the oil fields because he wants to coach and his first year at Ouachita Baptist he has three All-Americans. His second year, he has three All-Americans and the team is ranked ninth in the country. His third year, he has five All-Americans, the team fin-ishes fourth in the country and he is national coach of the year. What I am telling you is I don’t care what his credentials are. There are very few people who can build a program from scratch. He went from zero wrestlers to fourth in the nation and national coach of the year. He was able to convince kids to come to Arkansas to wrestle for a new program and then gets three All-Americans in year one. He does it with good old fashioned work ethic. There is nothing fancy about him. He just gets up and plugs away and gets the job done. He is prepared, organized and works extremely hard.”

Army wrestling has come a long way since the first seed was planted back in 1906. History has recorded that President Theodore Roosevelt, during his second term in office, suggested that wrestling be added to the curriculum at West Point. During that same period, Col. Herman J. Koehler was completing a major expansion of the physical education pro-gram. Wrestling was part of that expansion plan. In 1906, Koehler offered the position of wrestling coach to Tom Jen-kins, then recognized as one of the finest wrestlers in the world. Jenkins accepted the offer and devoted 37 years to coaching and teaching wres-tling to the cadets at West Point. It wasn’t until 1921, though, that wrestling had its intercollegiate be-ginning. Army went 1-2 in that historic first season, defeating Washing-ton & Lee, 19-6, for its first victory. There have been many winning seasons since. In 88 years of compet-ing on the intercollegiate level, Army teams have combined for a 649-418-37 record (.605), while 64 of those teams completed their seasons with a .500 or better winning percentage. Jenkins laid the groundwork for a winning tradition here, and none of the five coaches who have succeeded him has done anything to diminish that record of achievement and excellence. He coached Army teams for 15 years, retiring in 1935 with a 52-46-3 record. Lloyd Appleton, a silver medalist in the 1928 Olympics and an unde-feated collegiate wrestler, replaced Jenkins at the controls, remaining at West Point as head coach through the 1954 campaign. His teams com-piled an 86-51-5 record in his 17 seasons as coach, with only two finishing below .500. Appleton, who served as an instructor in the Department of Physi-cal Education at West Point for another 16 years and helped establish a wrestling program for Army troops in Europe, was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1983. LeRoy Alitz took over the coaching reins from Appleton in 1955 and held them for the next 23 years, closing out an illustrious career with a 144-134-15 composite record. As was the case with Appleton, he, too, was quite successful in championship tournaments. He guided the Ca-dets to seven straight top-five finishes at the EIWAs and a couple of top-10 finishes at the NCAA meet. He had five wrestlers win EIWA titles and 74 earn place awards. He coached the only NCAA champion Army has ever had in the person of Mike Natvig, the winner at 147 pounds in both 1962 and 1963. The contributions Alitz made to the Army wrestling program didn’t go unnoticed. In 1992, he joined Appleton as an inductee into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. He entered the Iowa Wrestling Foundation Hall of Fame in that same year. West Point has had six head coaches since Alitz stepped down follow-ing the 1977 season, and all of them have kept the winning fires burning. Ron Pifer compiled a 31-26-2 record from 1978-80, then Ed Steers as-sumed control in 1981, holding that position for nine years. Steers won more meets than any of his predecessors, closing out his West Point career with a 151-37-2 mark, or a winning percentage of .800. The Black Knights averaged an astounding 16 wins per season during Steers’ tenure. His teams won five New York State championships and finished second on three other occasions, and in 1987 he guided Army to its first and only EIWA team title. Jack Effner, an assistant under Steers in 1988-89, coached the Black Knights the next nine years before departing for Cleveland State follow-ing the 1997-98 season. Effner held up the high standard of winning at the Academy, compiling an 87-42-5 record at West Point, and left as the third-winningest coach in Army history. The 1996-97 season marked another winning year for the Cadets, who sported an 8-6 mark. But it was that eighth win that will be remembered for years to come. On February 22 in Christl Arena, Army snapped a frus-trating 34-year winless streak against Navy with a 19-12 victory. Brad Fenske capped a record-setting season with his second straight trip to nationals. After reaching the EIWA finals at 142 pounds, he went on to the NCAA Tournament at Northern Iowa and fell just one win shy of becoming Army’s 13th All-America selection. Fenske won a school-record 42 matches that season on his way to setting a then-school standard for career victories with 126. From 1978-79 to 1991-92, the Black Knights put together 14 consecu-

tive seasons of over 10 wins in the midst of a string of 20 consecutive winning seasons. Army never had a losing season in the decade of the ‘80s and only three times failed to finish in the top five at the EIWA Tour-nament. It was the most successful of any 10-year span in the program’s history. The Black Knights piled up 166 victories for a gaudy .801 winning percentage. In 1997-98 another wrestler shattered the 100-win barrier — Jarret Mathews — while Maurice Worthy qualified for the NCAA Championships in his rookie season. Led by Mathews’ 32 wins, the 1997-98 senior class became one of the most successful ever. The nine seniors combined to win over 70 percent of their matches, with a 168-52 overall record. Tod Giles assumed the reigns in 1998-99, and helped Worthy qualify for the NCAA Tournament. After four years at Army, including the last two as head coach, Giles stepped down to take a job in the private sector. Giles was an assistant for the 1997 team that knocked off Navy, 19-12. In 2000-01, another chapter in Army wrestling was started when Chuck Barbee became the eighth coach in the program’s history. During his tenure at the Academy, Barbee produced three NCAA All-Americans in Worthy, Phillip Simpson and Matt Kyler. He also guided sev-eral other NCAA Qualifiers, including Bernard Gardner, Luke Calvert, John Paxton, Fernando Martinez, Nathan Thobaben and William Simpson. In 2008, Army had six NCAA qualifiers make the trip to St. Louis. The 2004-05 campaign yielded a 12-5 record and an appearance in the national rankings. One of the most successful seasons in Barbee’s tenure, which included the program’s 600th career dual match win, was capped by Simpson’s run to the NCAA title bout at 149 pounds. Although Simpson fell just short of becoming Army’s first national champion in over 40 years, he did lock up a school-record third All-Amer-ica certificate. Simpson graduated the Academy as the winningest wres-tler in the history of the program. Army sent 16 wrestlers to the NCAA Tournament during a four-year run during the Barbee era. The 2005-06 campaign saw eight of Barbee’s Black Knights place at the EIWA meet, led by third-place finishers Patrick Simpson (149), Jon Anderson (165) and Charles Martin (197). A year later, four Army wrestlers finished in the top-six at the conference championships, led by Kyler’s runner-up effort at 141. The 2007-08 team was among the most successful squads in recent years. Barbee earned Coach of the Year honors after helping Army to a third-place finish with six national qualifiers. The third-place finish at the league tournament was the highest Army had finished since the 1987 squad also came in third. Kyler won an indi-vidual championship and led six Black Knight placewinners. Kyler broke Fenske’s single-season win total by finishing the year with a 43-8 record. He was joined on the medal stand by Martinez (second), Christian Snook (fourth), Richard Starks (fourth), Scott Ferguson (second) and Thobaben (third). The 2008-09 squad had three national qualifiers, Kyler, Starks and William Simpson. Both Kyler and Simpson finished runner-up at the EIWA Championships and Simpson earned an at-large berth. While Starks qual-ified, he was unable to wrestle due to an injury. Joe Heskett, a 2002 Iowa State University graduate, took over the reins of the program prior to the 2010-11 season. He helped guide Army to a 7-9 overall record during his inaugural campaign at West Point. Brothers Casey Thome and Jordan Thome qualified for the NCAA Cham-pionships after strong runs at the EIWA Championships. Heskett led the Black Knights to an 8-6 mark in his second season. Army went 5-2 versus EIWA foes, and also knocked off a pair of nation-ally ranked opponents. First-year grappler Cole Gracey became the first Army wrestler in nearly 30 years to be named the EIWA Freshman of the Year, and three Black Knights qualified for the NCAA Championships. In 2012-13, Heskett guided the Black Knights to a 7-7 overall record that included a 3-3 showing in the EIWA. Army placed sixth at the EIWA Championships, marking its best placement in the tournament since 2008. Four Black Knights qualified for the NCAA Championships. The Black Knights went 8-4 overall in 2013-14 with a 7-4 EIWA mark. Army won five matches in a row before falling to Navy in the season finale. Five Black Knights placed at the EIWA Championships, including three national qualifiers.

naTIonal WResTlInG Hall of faMeClass of 1992

He has probably taught wrestling to more young peo-ple than any other man. In four decades as coach and physical instructor at the U.S. Military Academy, LeRoy

Alitz educated more than 30,000 cadets in the skills and discipline of the sport. As Army officers, these former cadets continue to teach wrestling as physical training for combat troops. During 23 seasons as var-sity coach, 1955-77, Alitz won 144 dual meets and produced Army’s only NCAA champion, Mike Natvig, in 1962 and 1963. Six years of high school coaching in his home state of Iowa pushed

his victory total over 200. Alitz led the United States to the World Military Games championship in Egypt in 1963, the nation’s first international team trophy in wrestling. He also coached the World University team in the Moscow Games of 1973 and several All-Army teams that competed overseas. He brought many notables to West Point, including Hall of Famers Doug Blubaugh and Gray Simmons, and helped shape their post-graduate international careers. One of his protégés, as a varsity wrestler and freshman coach, was H. Norman Schwarzkopf, later the command-ing general of allied forces in the Gulf War. Alitz helped develop Eastern wrestling programs and inaugurated the Little Easterns for freshmen, until plebes were granted varsity eligibility. He had national impact as chairman of the NCAA rules committee for six years and as a member of the gov-erning council of USA Wrestling for a dozen seasons. He served as president of the National Wrestling Coaches Association and the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association, and helped develop the Eastern and Na-tional Wrestling Officials Associations. An All-American wrestler at Northern Iowa, he placed fourth in the 1948 Olympic Trials. As a leader, who established foundations for the de-velopment of wrestling and a teacher of its values in life, LeRoy A. Alitz is honored as a Distinguished Member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.

He was National AAU runner-up at both 158 and 175 pounds in 1927. The next year, Lloyd Appleton concen-trated on one weight class, and won a silver medal in the

Olympic Games. In high school, his sports

were baseball and bas-ketball, but when he en-tered Cornell College of Iowa and encountered renowned coach Dick Barker, his wrestling skills soon became evi-dent. He was undefeat-ed as a collegian, com-peting against Missouri Valley, Big Ten and Mid-west Conference oppo-nents from 158 pounds

to heavyweight. He won the National AAU title at 158 pounds again in 1928, along with the Olympic Trials and the Olympic silver at Amsterdam. For the next six years, he taught sciences and mathe-matics at prep schools in Maine and Massachusetts, and at each of those three schools he organized a wrestling program. As a 175-pound wrestler, he won New England championships and the National YMCA title in 1931-32, and made the Olympic Team, again as an alternate. Starting in 1936, he served 19 years as wrestling coach at the U.S. Military Academy, and remained at West Point 16 more years as a professor of physical education, the first civilian to attain that rank. Not only did he de-velop consistent winners among his varsity teams, but in his course, “Wrestling for Military Leadership,” he estab-lished wrestling programs for U.S. troops in Europe, or-ganizing and conducting clinics for coaches and officials who were preparing for the military championships. Throughout his coaching and teaching career, he played an active role in such organizations as the Boy Scouts, the YMCA, the American Heart Association, and state and local health organizations. As an athlete of exceptional achievement, and as a humanitarian who used the values of wrestling to bet-ter the health and happiness of young people, Lloyd Otto Appleton is honored as a Distinguished Member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.

The Mike Natvig Award, established in 1973, is presented to the team’s Most Outstanding Wrestler. Mike Natvig, USMA Class of 1963, enjoyed one of the most successful wrestling careers in Army’s storied history. In his junior and senior seasons, he did something no other Army wrestler has ever accomplished. He won two national championships. In 2004, Natvig was recognized for his achievements by being one of 16 athletes selected in the Army Sports Hall of Fame inaugural class.

As a junior in 1962, Natvig lost in the finals of the Eastern Intercol-legiate Wrestling Association (EIWA) Tournament at 157 pounds, bowing to Lehigh great Kirk Pendleton, 11-4. Both wrestlers dropped down to 147 for the NCAA meet and again met in the championship final. This time it was Natvig coming away the winner by a very close 5-4 margin. Pendleton would lose only two matches his entire career at Le-high, one of those against Natvig in the 1962 NCAA finals. Natvig was at 147 pounds for the 1963 EIWA tournament - Pendle-ton one weight class higher at 157. Both won individual titles. Both also went on to win championships at the NCAA tournament where Natvig successfully defended his crown with a 7-2 victory over Lonnie Rubis of Minnesota in the finals. Throughout the course of that 1963 tournament, Natvig allowed his

opponents only three points. His win played a tremendous role in helping Army finish in 14th place — fourth highest ever at the Academy. Army’s only finishes that were higher were its 10th-place finishes in 1965 and 1966, and the 13th spot earned by the Black Knights in 1986. Natvig was more than just an All-American and national champion. He was a leader in the purest sense. Elected team captain his senior year, he was also selected to the high leadership position of Battalion Commander within the Corps of Cadets. Team co-captain Jarret Mathews was the 1998 recipient of the Mike Natvig Award. Mathews

posted a 32-6 record that season, marking the eighth-highest single-season victory total in school history. He became only the sixth Cadet to surpass the 100-win mark in a career, and he graduated ranked fifth all-time with 103 West Point victories. Troy Yegge, the 1999 recipient of the award, closed out a stellar col-lege wrestling career as the last wrestler to win the award in the 1990s. He is 13th on the all-time list of career wins (82), ninth in pins (22) and holds the 14th highest single-season total for pins.

Maurice Worthy was bestowed the honor at the end of the 2000 and 2001 seasons. He won 29 matches in 2000 which placed him in the top 25 on the Academy’s list of wins in a season. In 2001, Worthy compiled a 34-1 record, finishing as the NCAA runner-up. Worthy qualified for the NCAAs three times in his illustrious career and racked up 99 victories.

His 14 pins was the third highest total in any one season as well. Phillip Simpson (USMA ‘05) is the only four-time recipient. A three-time NCAA All-American, Simpson graduated as the Academy’s all-time leader in wins (134) and ranked second on the school’s career pins chart (54). Matt Kyler is the second wrestler to win the award three times, joining Dennis Semmel. Kyler was the recipient in 2007 and 2008 and last year, shared the award with Richard Stacks. Kyler finished a record-setting sophomore year with a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Championships to earn All-America honors at 141 pounds. After sweeping six matches to garner the EIWA title, Kyler compiled a 4-3 record at the national championships despite facing a ranked opponent every time he set foot on the mat. He finished the year with an Academy record 43-8

individual mark to finish third nationally in victories. During his freshman year, Kyler also led the team in wins with a 31-12

record while totaling six falls and 10 major decisions - also a squad best. His second-place finish at the EIWA Championships earned him a trip to the NCAA Championships.

A Clearfield, Pa., native, Kyler posted a 40-7 record during his junior campaign, including an unbeaten 18-0 mark on dual meets. Ranked as high as sixth nationally, Kyler won individual titles at the New York State Championships and All-Academy Championships.

Starks racked up a 33-6 mark in 2008-09 with a 15-3 dual meet record and also won titles at the New York State Championships and All-Academy Championships. He finished second at EIWAs and qualified for nationals but did not wrestle due to an injury.

The Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association (EIWA), as it is known today, had its beginning in 1904, when “the wireless and the automobile were still unproven inno-vations and the airplane merely a curiosity.” Then, students from a number of schools in the East met and proposed the creation of a group whose responsibility it would be to organize intercollegiate wrestling as a formal sport. One year later, wrestlers from Columbia, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Yale competed in the first EIWA tournament. Under the management of J. Edward Weisenfluh, a student at Penn, the first tour-nament was held April 7, 1905, in the Gymna-sium of Weightman Hall on the Penn campus in Philadelphia. At this first meeting, the Intercollegiate Wrestling Association was born. Thereafter, three meetings were held each year, once just before the tournament, once just after the meet, and once in October at which a new tourney site was selected. No team scoring was kept at the first EIWA tournament in 1905. All that was re-corded was the total number of bouts won by each wrestler in the following weight classes: 115, 125, 135, 145, 158, 175 and heavyweight. Based on that system, Yale won, followed in order by Columbia, Princeton and Pennsylva-nia. Remaining strictly a student organiza-tion for 35 years, the group gradually as-sumed the name “Eastern” to distinguish itself from the faculty-contolled “Western” Association, now known as the Big Ten. Ul-timately, after the 1939 meet, the students capitulated to faculty control, and the East-ern College Athletic Conference, organized

in 1938, has since provided formal structure for the EIWA, which now functions as an al-lied entity of the ECAC. “The Easterns” have survived both as the oldest intercollegiate wrestling organization and as a unique athletic event with unusually widespread spectator appeal. Today, membership in the EIWA numbers 14 schools — American, Army, Brown, Buck-nell, Columbia, Cornell, Franklin & Marshall, Harvard, Lehigh, Navy, Pennsylvania, Princ-eton, Rutgers and Sacred Heart. Both Yale and William & Mary were mem-bers into the mid-1990s, but Yale decided to drop wrestling and William & Mary opted for another conference. Following the 1996-97 season, Wilkes University announced it would be moving back to the Division III level after a 22-year stint in the EIWA. Army joined the EIWA in 1941, when George Welles became its first placewinner, finishing third at 155 pounds. It was three more years before the Black Knights had their first champions in the persons of Dave Wood in the 165-pound weight class and Joe Stanowicz at heavyweight. Stanowicz, the runnerup to Navy’s Shuford Swift the previous year, also won the heavyweight title in 1945. Army’s most recent EIWA champion is Matt Kyler, who won the 149-pound final in 2010. Army has won the team championship only once, in 1987 when it finished 18.5 points ahead of runner-up Navy. The Black Knights have finished second on four other occasions: 1944, 1945, 1946 and 1969.
