Charles “Fritz” Maier was a fouryear member of the American University wrestling team and one of the most skilled grapplers of his day.

Vidvuds “Vince” Celtnieks graduated from American University in 1965 as one of the most well rounded athletes to have ever graced the AU playing surfaces.

Dr. Robert Karch headed American University’s wrestling program for 10 seasons, between 1968 and 1979. In his first season as coach, he led a team that had won just one dual match in the previous four seasons to four dual match wins. In the decade which Karch served as the program’s mentor, he amassed more than 70 dual match wins and coached 17 conference place-winners, a conference champion and several first-place or second-place finishes at invitational tournaments. No slouch on the mat himself, Karch won three Atlantic Coast Conference Championships while wrestling for the University of Maryland.

In the late ‘50’s and early ‘60’s, Maier consistently outmatched his opponents on the mat and became a four-time Mason Dixon champion. As a freshman, Maier won his first championship in the 157 lbs. weight class. In his sopohomore season Maier moved up to 167 lbs. where he proceeded to win three more titles. Maier was also a key member of the 195960 squad which went 8-0 in dual meets and produced American’s only Mason D i x o n T e a m Championship.

In his four years as an Eagle, Celtnieks earned varsity letters in wrestling, cross country, track and soccer. As a wrestler Celtnieks was coached by both Frank Morgan, who guided American to the Mason Dixon Team Championshipin 1960, and Isidore Abrams. On the soccer pitch, Celtnieks was a member of the 1964 team which snapped a streak of four consecutive years with a loosing record. As a cross country and track athlete Celtnieks was a teammate to future NCAA Champions Peter Chen and Andrew “Butch” Bell.

In 1979, Karch stepped down as the wrestling coach to develop AU’s Master of Science program in Health and Fitness Management, which he continues to direct. He has served the Athletics Department for the last several years as the Faculty Athletic representative.

Washington, D.C. The National Mall is usually the center of every visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip to Washington DC. This tree-lined area of parkland stretches two and a half miles from the Potomac River to the United States Capitol on Capitol Hill and is adjoined by the White House. At one end of the National Mall, known as West Potomac Park, the Lincoln Memorial faces the Reflecting Pool with a good view of Arlington Memorial Bridge, Constitution Gardens, the Tidal Basin and the Washington Monument. Further towards Capitol Hill are a number of museums and galleries, among which are many of the Smithsonian Institutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s museums, including the National Museum of Natural History, the National Air and Space Museum, National Museum of the American Indian, and the Smithsonian Institution building.

American University Situated within the northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C., American University’s traditional-style campus has much to offer students in the way of comfort, modern conveniences, and quick, easy access to city life. Our 84-acre, tree-lined campus, which was designated as a National Arboretum, is located at the top of Embassy Row in one of the most attractive, safe, and residential areas of our nation’s capital. The center of campus, also referred to as “the quad,” is a focal point of student life not only because our academic buildings line its grassy borders, but also because it’s a place to meet-and-greet with friends and student groups, catch an impromptu game of ultimate frisbee or take part in an after-class debrief with professors. Another favorite spot on campus is the beach volleyball pit located between the athletics fields. The adjacent grassy hillside is also a well known hangout for students on game days.

Academic Support The academic support program for student-athletes, a collaboration between the Academic Support Center and the Department of Athletics, assists student-athletes in successfully attaining academic goals and creating a balance between academics and athletics. The program serves to promote responsibility and initiative while encouraging student-athletes to take advantage of the rich resources offered at American University. Academic counselors work with student-athletes on skills needed for success in the classroom, and provide information about educational options, university and NCAA requirements, as well as policies and procedures. The program focuses on the development of the total person through individual meetings, study hall and tutoring, and life skills workshops.

American University named Dr. William (Billy) Walker its 14th Director of Athletics and Recreation on February 28, 2013. “Billy Walker’s experiences, character and values are perfectly suited to build upon AU’s record of success in athletic competition and in the classroom. We were impressed by his demonstrated leadership as an administrator and his achievements as professor, department chair, and mentor of student-athletes,” said Kerwin. “We were especially struck by his belief that elite athletes can also be elite scholars—a value we embrace at this university.” At the Academy, Walker most recently served as professor and head of the Physical Education Department and deputy director of athletics. He was responsible for day-to-day operations of the Academy’s athletic department, including 190 employees, 23 NCAA Division I Olympic sports, and a multifaceted program involving physical education, cadet fitness testing and evaluation, and an intramural program for more than 4,000 cadets. “I’m tremendously honored to be selected as American University’s next director of athletics and recreation. President Kerwin’s confidence in me is truly humbling, and I can’t overstate how appreciative I am. Everywhere I’ve been on campus, I’ve met people who are part of an integrated team of professionals. I’m thrilled to be joining that team and I can’t wait to get to work,” said Walker. In his various appointments at the United States Air Force Academy, he also served as a physical education

instructor, assistant wrestling coach, and director of the Fitness Testing and Evaluation Division. In 1993, he earned the Academy’s highest instructional award.

An expert panelist for the U.S. Department of Education and a key participant in the merger between two lacrosse leagues, he also spearheaded the formation of the Western Wrestling Conference in 2005, and still serves as its commissioner. A command pilot with nearly 3,000 hours of helicopter flight time, Walker’s professional responsibilities have included deputy command of the 89th Operations Group, an organization of 800 people responsible for directing the safe transport of the President of the United States, Vice President, Cabinet Secretaries, members of Congress, foreign heads of state, and other dignitaries around the world.
