ABOUT USMA 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 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 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 defensive 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 establishing the U.S. Military Academy to create an institution devoted to the arts and sciences of warfare. This effectively eliminated America’s wartime reliance on foreign engineers and artillerists. West Point became the 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 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 e t h i c a l 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 conflicts, 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 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 addition, the fields-of-study and majors nurture the development of creativity, critical thinking, and selfdirected learning, essential characteristics 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 intercollegiate, club or intramural level each semester. This readies the cadet for the physical demands of military life and helps teach good judgment and selfdiscipline, 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 array of club activities ranging from golf, skiing, boxing, crew and orienteering to such organizations as the cadet radio station, Habitat for Humanity and Big Brothers-Big Sisters. Additionally, the U.S. Corps of Cadets hosts a Special Olympics event each spring. Today’s Military Academy is a vastly different institution from the small academy legislated into 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 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.

He brings to the Military Academy a wealth of experience at some of the nation’s elite athletic programs.” 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 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. He previously spent a year as a partner in Corrigan Sports Enterprises, an entrepreneurial sports marketing company, in the Baltimore area -- and also worked two years as an equity partner in mrgoodbucks. com, an e-commerce program that involved creation of affinity business relationships. Corrigan also served two years as vice president of EMCEE Sports, a Baltimorebased sports marketing company with a focus on professional golf from 1997

ARMY GYMNASTICS FACILITIES Christl Arena
CHRISTL ARENA One of the most popular and highly competitive collegiate gymnastics meets on the East Coast, the West Point Open, calls Christl Arena home. Christl Arena served as host of the 63rd NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships in 2005 and was the site once again in 2010. Located inside Holleder Center, Christl Arena serves as a permanent home to Army’s men’s and women’s basketball teams, and has served as host for other sporting events to include wrestling. It has also been the site of various intercollegiate and high school championship tournaments. The arena was named for 1st Lt. Edward C. Christl Jr. (USMA ’44), who was killed in Austria in 1945. The building is constructed of concrete and steel-framed masonry complete with spectator and support facilities. It contains two concession areas, an Army Athletic Association gift shop, ticket office, sports medicine room, storage areas and offices for coaching and administrative personnel. Christl Arena has hosted the West Point Open for the past 20 years and attracts many of the top-ranked NCAA programs in the nation. Penn State has been a regular at the competition along with Temple, William & Mary and Navy, while Ohio and Nebraska have also participated. The competition has been highlighted by exhibition performances by some of the most recognized names in U.S. Gymnastics, including Olympians Blaine Wilson, John Roethlisberger, Kurt Thomas and Tim Daggett.
LOU GROSS SPORTS CENTER Located adjacent to Lichtenberg Tennis Center, off Stony Lonesome Road, just west of historic Michie Stadium and Holleder Center, Lou Gross Sports Center provides a first-class training and competition venue for Army’s gymnastics team. One of the jewels of Army’s “Margin of Excellence” athletic facilities enhance project, the state-of-the-art Lou Gross Sports Center was officially opened and dedicated Feb. 14, 2002 prior to a triangular gymnastics meet with Air Force and James Madison. Army’s gymnastics home is due to the generosity of lead donor Herb Lichtenberg (USMA ’55) and is named for Lou Gross (USMA ’54), a valuable friend and supporter. Gross Sports Center underwent a makeover the summer of 2005 with the addition of a 1,960-square-foot spectator viewing gallery, bleachers and an exterior stairwell providing a sparkling new entrance into the facility. The state-of-the-art complex, also received a sports gallery handicap elevator, coaches’ offices and an HVAC heating and air conditioning system in the process. Lou Gross Center has made a large impact on Army’s gymnastics program: • The Black Knights captured the 2005 ECAC/EIGL Championship – their first in 44 years and 12th overall. • Army earned its first team bid to the NCAA Championships since 1963 as the No. 12 seed in 2004; repeated the following year after winning the automatic bid by capturing the ECAC title and No. 11 spot. The Black Knights qualified again in 2007. • Recorded 12-3 marks verses both Navy and Air Force over the past eight years en route to posting 57 wins over that span. • In addition to serving as a permanent home to the nationally-ranked gymnastics team, Gross Center also benefits both the men’s and women’s basketball teams, giving them a top-notch practice facility to compliment Christl Arena in Holleder Center.
HEAD COACH DOUG VAN EVEREN Army’s gymnastics program ascended to new heights since the inauguration of the Doug Van Everen era at West Point in 1990. Now in his third decade, the level of success the 22nd-year mentor has reached is the reason the Black Knights continually rank among the nation’s leaders. Van Everen reached milestones in 2004 and 2005, leading Army to its first team bid to the NCAA Championships since 1963 as the No. 12 seed in 2004. The Black Knights made a return trip the following year after capturing their first ECAC title in 44 years, earning the automatic bid along with grabbing the No. 11 spot. The veteran mentor was presented with his 100th win along the banks of the Hudson on March 6, 2005, in a road victory at Springfield just one year after posting his 100th career coaching victory over Navy in Annapolis, Md. Van Everen has compiled a 56-43-1 mark over the past nine years, including a 13-1 record in 2003, along with an 11-1 showing that accompanied the ECAC Championship in 2005. After finishing runner-up for the Eastern title in 2003 and 2004, Van Everen and his Black Knights reached the pinnacle of college gymnastics on the East Coast in 2005 when they secured the Academy’s first Eastern crown since 1962. Army has also dominated the service academy rivalry during Van Everen’s tenure at West Point, sweeping the first seven All-Academy Championships, along with compiling a 15-1 dual mark against Air Force and a 12-3 verdict versus Navy during that span. Under Van Everen’s tutelage, the Black Knights ranked as high as No. 9 nationally in 2003 and 2004, and listed 10th in 2005. Since taking over the program in 1990, Van Everen shows a 125-130-1 mark at West Point. His teams have been well represented individually at the NCAA Championships, while qualifying as a team in 2004, 2005 and 2007. The Black Knights qualified individually in 2006 when injuries decimated their ranks, while a school-record 12 individuals met the standard in 2003. Committed to excellence, Van Everen is one of the most respected coaches in his profession. He was awarded East Regional “Coach of the Year” honors on the eve of the 2005 NCAA Championships, hosted by the U.S. Military Academy. It was the third time in his tenure and second over a three-year span that he garnered that award. The honor came two weeks after guiding the Black Knights to an 11-1 record and the ECAC Championship. For that achievement, he copped ECAC “Coach of the Year”
Page 16
accolades for the second time. His gymnasts defeated defending ECAC champion and NCAA qualifier Temple during a 12meet win streak in 2003 for their best start since 1979 en route to a 13-1 mark. That momentum carried into the postseason with a pair of runnerup finishes at the ECAC and USAGC Championships, while closing with an NCAA All-America certificate, five USAGC All-Americans and one USAGC national champion. An excellent recruiter, Van Everen has coached several of the finest gymnasts in Army history. Under his guidance, Imad Haque, Ben Hayward, Mike Sivulka, Steve Marshall, Dustin Greenhill, Troy Pazcoguin, Matt Eckerman, John Robella and Brian Lee all laid claim to national and regional honors. He has tutored four NCAA All-Americans and 12 Eastern champions who won 17 titles. Haque, a 1993 and 1994 Eastern still rings champion, was the first All-American coached by Van Everen following a sixth-place finish at the 1994 NCAA Championships. Hayward was a three-time Eastern pommel horse champion, who added an All-America certificate to his brilliant career following a fifth-place finish at the NCAAs in 1997. Greenhill and Lee finished runner-up on the parallel bars (2003) and still rings (2005), respectively, for the highest showing in Van Everen’s tenure. Also claiming Eastern titles were Sivulka, Marshall, Pazcoguin, Eckerman, Robella, Lee, Mike Oliveira (2005),George Rhynedance (2006), Eliot Proctor (2007), with Garek Hojan-Clark (2011) the latest addition. Sivulka, a two-time Eastern pommel horse champion (1994 and 1995), ranked No. 1 in the nation throughout most of his junior year and was among the national leaders at season’s end.
WWW.GOARMYSPORTS.COM
A parallel bars Eastern champion in 1995, Marshall captured the all-around title the following year to become the first Black Knight to win that crown since 1939. Marshall ranked as high as second nationally in all-around throughout his senior year, and was among the top 10 in each of the six individual events. He also earned a spot on the senior national team in 1995 and was third on the vault at the USA Championships. Marshall was inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame with the second class in 2005. Pazcoguin, a four-time NCAA qualifier, listed among the national leaders on vault his junior and senior campaigns. He was tabbed the “Senior Athlete of the Year” at the Eastern Championships in 2002 after garnering rookie honors in 1999. Eckerman became just the second Black Knight to capture an Eastern crown on floor exercise and first since 1980 when he claimed the title in 2002, with Robella winning that crown the following year. Lee captured Army’s first still rings crown in 10 years at the 2004 meet. He also finished sixth on the rings at the Winter Cup Challenge and ranked No. 2 in the country all season. Oliveira and Hojan-Clark are two of four sophomores under Van Everen to win a title when they copped medalist honors on parallel bars and pommel horse at the 2005 and 2011 meets, respectively. Rhynedance made school history in 2006 when he joined his father George Sr. (1980) as an Eastern champion. Four Army gymnasts earned five USAGC AllAmerica certificates at the 2003 championships. Lee, crowned a national champion on still rings, joined Mike Tiffany (parallel bars, still rings), Chris Kennedy (pommel horse) and Robella (high bar) in garnering All-America honors. Robella was also named a USA Gymnastics scholar-athlete. Three more picked up All-America honors at the 2011 meet in Hojan-Clark (pommel horse), Jared Breeden (still rings) and Chase Brown (floor exercise), along with a pair of scholar-athlete certficates awarded to Brown and Jonathan Hoey. All but one of 14 school records (team and individual) were shattered during Van Everen’s tenure before a new scoring system was implemented in 2008, geared towards an openending scoring system. Army broke the school vault record during a period when the rules for scoring made it difficult to receive high marks. Van Everen guided the Black Knights to runnerup honors at the ECAC Championships three times over a six-year span. Army’s placing in 1999 was its highest in over a decade, and the Black Knights repeated in 2003 and 2004. Army gymnasts have also excelled as students. The Black Knights ranked among an elite group of 20 teams selected in 1998 for national academic honors by the College Gymnastics Association. Army placed 12th with a 3.07 team grade-point average, beating both Navy (15th) and Air Force (16th).

ASSISTANT COACH CARMINE GIGLIO When Carmine Giglio joined Army’s gymnastics staff 12 years ago, head coach Doug Van Everen gained a skilled and talented assistant who helped bring the Black Knights to the forefront of collegiate gymnastics. As two of the most respected coaches in the field, the Army duo were honored at the conference and national level in 2005, earning four coaching awards between them. Giglio was the recipient of the College Gymnastics Association (CGA) National Assistant Coach of the Year award shortly after copping ECAC “Assistant of the Year” accolades, and Van Everen earned ECAC and CGA East Regional “Coach of the Year” honors. They guided Army to an 11-1 record that year and its first ECAC Championship since 1962. Since his arrival at West Point, the Black Knights have sported an overall record of 70-51-1 (.578) and have crowned an Eastern League individual champion eight of the last 11 years. In 2004, Army earned its first bid to the NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships since 1963, then won its first ECAC title in 44 years the following spring along with the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Army sent a school-record 12 individual qualifiers to the NCAAs by his third season (2003), along with backto-back runner-up honors at the ECAC Championships in 2003 and 2004. Giglio has helped Army win the All-Academy title seven straight years along with a 15-1 showing against Air Force and 13-3 versus Navy en route to compiling a dual winning percentage of 88 percent (28-4) over its service-academy rivals during that span. His first season (2001) was marked by the Black Knights posting their highest winning percentage (.727) at the time under Van Everen, along with an Eastern League champion and a record eight gymnasts qualifying for the NCAA Championships. Army defeated Navy three times during the season en route to an 8-3 mark. His second season saw Army crown its first Eastern champion on floor exercise since 1980, along with six gymnasts qualifying for the NCAA Championships. Army also defended its title at the All-Academy Championships, outpointing both Navy and Air Force. The 2003-2005 seasons have proven to be the most superb in school history. In 2003, Army authored a 13-1 mark (.929), posted a pair of second-place finishes at the ECAC and USAGC Championships, qualified a record 12 individuals for the NCAA Championships and claimed an All-American. The Black Knights crowned an ECAC champion and

USAGC national champion along with five USAGC All-America certificates. The 2004 campaign at that point was the finest under Van Everen and Giglio with Army earning a berth to the NCAA Championships following a second-place finish at the ECAC Championships, where the Black Knights crowned their first ECAC still rings champion in ten years. Wins over Navy and Air Force once again were included in Army’s 10-4 mark. The 2005 season was highlighted by Army’s first ECAC title since 1962, along with crowning an Eastern champion and an 11-1 record. George Rhynedance captured an Eastern title on the high bar in 2006, Eliot Proctor followed on the parallel bars in 2007, along with Garrek Hojan-Clark on pommel horse in 2011. Army also picked up three USAG All-American certificates in 2011. As a collegian, Giglio enjoyed a standout
career at Western Michigan. The three-time captain became the first Bronco to qualify for the NCAA Championships in all-around following a ninth-place finish at the East Regionals his senior campaign. After earning his bachelor’s degree in exercise science with a minor in health in 1990, Giglio began his coaching career on the staff at the International Gymnastics School. Giglio and his wife Kelly reside in New Windsor, N.Y., with their sons Jase Anthony (5) and Caden Park (3), along with daughter Kira Shaye born August 19, 2010.

MEET THE BLACK KNIGHTS
SEASON OUTLOOK 2011 HIGHLIGHTS • Six gymnasts qualified individually for the NCAA Championships, Army’s largest contingent since that number met the standard in 2006. • Garrek Hojan-Clark became the first Black Knight to claim an Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference title since 2007 and first on pommel horse since 1999. He ranked No. 4 in the country heading into the NCAAs. • Army finished third at the West Point Open and Jonathan Hoey was crowned a champion on pommel horse– the first Black Knight to earn medalist honors since 2006. • Army closed out its dual meet schedule tying William & Mary in the season finale for just the sixth tie in school history and first since 1962. • Kip Webber (still rings and vault) and Hojan-Clark earned All-East honors at the ECAC Championships. • Garrek Hojan-Clark (pommel horse), Jared Breeden (still rings) and Chase Brown (floor exercise) earned USAG All-America certificates following their performances at the USA Gymnastics Men's National Collegiate Championships. WHAT’S AHEAD IN 2012 “In 2011, we turned in several top performances,” said Army head coach Doug Van Everen, “and for us to build upon that this season will be a challenge because of two unknowns.” Heading into the preseason, one of the unknowns was junior Kip Webber, a top competitor on still rings, vault (school-record holder) and floor exercise. Hopes of his return from medical leave for the second semester were instead extended into the spring semester. “His loss is significant,” noted Van Everen, “but we have to go forward. We have a talented group of veterans (11 returnees) and a solid freshman class that I am expecting to make a significant impact.” T h e other unknown depends upon who will be competing in each of the six events during the course of the season. FLOOR EXERCISE: Senior Chase Brown, along with juniors Ikaika Jakub and Jared Breeden, sophomore Ian Howard and freshman Jeremy Cahill provide a solid nucleus. Brown, a 2010 NCAA qualifier and USAG All-American in the event, is Army’s top returnee. He posted a career-best 14.6 and came close to recording that mark with a 14.5 in a first-place finish at the intra- squad meet in November. Jakub, Breeden and Howard all turned in 14.0s last year on floor with the first two recording that mark in the dual finale vs. William & Mary.
tines this year. I feel the two of them will be going back and forth against each other all year long and should win just about every competition if they do what they are capable of. We beefed up Garrek’s training and feel it will make it easier for him to hit clean in the tougher meets”. Hojan-Clark, a two-time NCAA qualifier and ECAC champion, ranked No. 4 in the country last year in this event. Army’s school-record holder (15.1) and top scorer the past two years on the horse, he earned medalist honors in seven of eight dual matches in 2011 and was runner-up in the other at the USAG meet where he earned All-America honors. He will be looking to repeat as a conference champion along with advancing to the individual finals at the NCAAs. Hoey has been a fixture on the horse the past three years, capturing the title at last year’s West Point Open – just the eighth Black Knight to earn medalist honors. He headed into last year’s NCAA meet ranked 36th on the horse and seeded fourth among the individual qualifiers. Newcomer Tserkovnyuk placed second on the horse at the intra- squad scrimmage with a 13.5, trailing Hojan-Clark’s winning mark by 2/10s of a point. Fearnley, who competed the past two years on the horse, placed fourth at the meet and Avelino, who was sidelined last year, finished seventh. Also in the mix is senior Zack Linton who is looking to break into the lineup after turning in solid scores last year. STILL RINGS The rings are an event rated among Army’s strengths this year as Van Everen welcomed the return of a strong, more refined group led by junior Jared Breeden. Though losing the services of Kip Webber, Breeden’s career-high 14.8 recorded at the USAG individual finals in a second-place finish that earned All-America honors listed tied for Army’s third highest score in 2011. Breeden earned a spot to the NCAAs where his 14.133 average listed third among the individual qualifiers. Alex Ganz (freshman), Nick Miles (sophomore), Nicholas Fettinger (junior), Ikaika Jakub (junior), and Connor Venrick (freshman) are expected to provide solid scores. Fettinger’s positional strength has improved tremendously the past year after competing in that event for the first time at the collegiate level last year. A regular in the lineup, Fettinger posted a career-high 13.4 at the USAG Championships. Jakub, an NCAA qualifier as an all-arounder last year, just missed equaling his career-high 13.9 following a 13.8 showing in a triangular at Temple. Miles began
At the annual intra-squad scrimmage, Breeden was third and Cahill’s 14.4 earned him runner-up behind Brown. Looking to break into Army’s lineup is senior Zack Linton, whose personal-best 14.0 was recorded last year in a road meet at Springfield. POMMEL HORSE An event that boasts one of Van Everen’s best pommel horse teams in several years with Garrek Hojan-Clark, team captain Jonathan Hoey and freshman Mike Tserkovnyuk setting the pace. “All three are excellent and the remaining cast in this event should be able to provide us with a decent score which will definitely make a difference,” stated Van Everen. “The remaining three spots are a toss up between Alex Ganz (freshman), Gregory Fearnley (junior), Andrew Avelino (sophomore) and Connor Venrick (freshman). “Jon (Hoey) and Garrek (Hojan-Clark) are doing well and we have added difficulty to their rou-

SEASON OUTLOOK competing last year on rings in the latter half of the season and adds solid depth along with Venrick, a Colorado State champion, and Ganz, who earned the silver at a regional meet. VAULT Though Army isn’t as deep in this event, the Black Knights return three of last year’s four top competitors in Chase Brown (senior), Jared Breeden (junior) and Ikaika Jakub (junior). Van Everen will look to this group and the newcomers to help make up for the loss of school record holder Kip Webber. Brown scored the highest mark among the returnees in 2011, twice recording a personal-best 15.4 in home and road meets against Springfield. Breeden was close behind with a 15.3 authored in a road meet at Springfield, while Jakub also posted his personal-best 15.0 against the Pride. Looking to provide not only depth but rank among the counting four are Nick Miles (sophomore), along with freshmen Alex Ganz and Connor Venrick. PARALLEL BARS The parallel bars are expected to be one of Army’s strengths this season with the return of seniors Chase Brown and Brandon Long, along with juniors Nicholas Fettinger and Ikaika Jakub (junior). Joining that group are freshmen Mike Tserkovnyuk and Alex Ganz, the latter a California State champion and regional silver medalist. Fettinger recorded Army’s highest score with a 14.3 in a sixth-place showing in the prelims of the USAG Championships. Long tied for Army’s second-highest score with a personal-best 14.2 that earned him medalist honors in a road meet at Springfield. Jakub, who posted a career-high 14.1 as a freshman, just missed scoring in the 14-point range last year. At the annual intra-squad meet, Tserkovnyuk and Ganz tied for medalist honors, while Greg Fearnley (junior) placed fourth competing for the first time in that event.
The Black Knights will be looking to rebound from last year’s home loss to the Midshipmen in one of the closest matches in the history of the rivalry. A week later (Feb. 18) is the annual All-Academy Championships in San Jose, Calif., where the Black Knights will be in the thick of battle for their first title since 2007 when they take on Air Force and the Midshipmen. Air Force’s visit to West Point the following week (Feb. 24) highlights Army’s home opener at Gross Sports Center as it looks to snap a four-match series losing skein to the Falcons in the first of four home duals over a five-match span. Two days later Army is back on the road with a visit to Springfield (Feb. 26). Army makes is final preparation for the annual ECAC Championships when it opens a challenging slate in March. Temple, runner-up at last year’s ECAC meet, has a pair of weekend matches at West Point starting Friday, March 2, with Springfield making it a triangular match Sunday (March 4) on Senior Day at Gross Sports Center. Army visits the Pride five days later (March 9). The Black Knights close out their dual slate with a pair of weekend matches at William & Mary in Williamsburg, Va., on March 15 and 17. Last year the teams battled to a 335.4 tie at West Point, just the sixth draw in school history and first since 1962. Army heads to Philadelphia, Pa., for the ECAC Championships being hosted by Temple. Defending champion University of Chicago will look to retain the title for the fourth straight year along with earning the automatic bid to the NCAA Championships. The Owls took second last year followed by top seed William & Mary. OVERVIEW A solid veteran base and a strong freshman class that will be seasoned in time for the ECAC Championship should help Army make a run to finish in the upper half of the standings. “I feel our scoring potential is higher than last year,” noted Van Everen. “We have increased the difficulty for several of the returnees, coupled with an excellent freshman class, should provide top scores and depth in all six events.”
HIGH BAR Van Everen expects to be stronger on high bar with the return of seniors Jonathan Hoey and Chase Brown, who wrote last year’s headline scoring Army’s top marks of 13.9 and 13.7, respectively. Hoey recorded his in the prelims of the ECAC Championships and Brown turned in his career high in the prelims of the West Point Open and went on to place sixth in the individual finals. Freshman Jeremy Cahill has shown promise in this event, having tied with Hoey for medalist honors during the intra-squad meet as both scored a 13.4. Sophomore Andrew Avelino has come on strong of late and is expected to make an impact. ALL-AROUND Army will look to junior Ikaika Jakub and freshman Alex Ganz in the all-around scoring. Jakub, who headed into last year’s NCAA meet listed fifth among the allarounders, posted a career-high 81.3 in the regular-season finale against William & Mary. Jakub and Ganz went one- two in all-around at the annual intra-squad scrimmage in November. SCHEDULE Army, picked 14th in the preseason GymInfo poll, ushers in 2012 opening against national powerhouse Penn State, ranked sixth in the preseason pool, for the ninth straight year. Van Everen expects to win a few events and see where that will take them. The Black Knights’ regular season is highlighted by the annual West Point Open, the All-Academy Championships and nine dual matches in preparation for an ambitious postseason run. Army will look to improve upon last year’s third-place showing (just the fourth time it captured the bronze and first since 2004) when it hosts the 21st annual West Point Open (Jan. 27-28) at Christl Arena. The Black Knights face a challenging field that includes five-time defending champion Penn State. The Nittany Lions have captured 16 titles overall and will be the team to beat once again. The first three meets in February are against service-academy rivals with Army heading to Annapolis, Md., for the annual “Star” match against Navy on Feb. 11.

HISTORY & RECORDS
HISTORY Army, which ushers in its 83rd gymnastics season in 2009, celebrated its 80th season of intercollegiate competition in 2005 by capturing its first ECAC title in over 40 years and hosting the NCAA Men’s Division 1 Gymnastics Championships. Head coach Doug Van Everen has tutored two All-Americans in the past four seasons, restoring Army gymnastics’ proud tradition and making the Black Knights the “Beast of the East” for the first time since the 1960s. With more than 500 career dual match victories to its credit, Army enters the 2009 campaign caught in a rebuilding season. Van Everen brought in a talented freshman class that he feels will play a key role next year when the Black Knights host the NCAA Championships at West Point. THE EARLY YEARS Francis Dohs, the program’s first head coach, mentored the gymnastics squad for nearly six years, resigning after six meets in 1931 with an overall record of 19-18. His successor, Thomas E. Maloney, set the stage for all future West Point gymnasts and head coaches by establishing the Cadets as one of the nation’s elite programs. He enjoyed immense success as Army’s head coach for the next 36 years, leaving as the Academy’s all-time winningest head coach — a distinction he still holds today. From 1931 to 1966, Maloney’s charges compiled a 211-34-6 (.853) mark and captured 11 Eastern titles, nine of those outright. A total of 11 Maloney-coached teams were undefeated, and his 1934 squad was the first to win an Eastern championship. One of the most successful gymnasts to come out of the Academy during the Maloney era was Robert Sears, who closed out his career

as a three-time national champion. He was the first Black Knight to win a national title on the horizontal bar and rope climb in 1938, and repeated as the rope climb champion in 1939. The following year, the Army team captain was crowned a national champion on parallel bars while Ray Belardi won the rope climb in leading the Black Knights to a second-place finish at the NCAA Championships. Eight years after graduating, Sears went on to win National AAU championships on the long horse (1947) and parallel bars (1947). A member of the Army Air Corps during World War II, Sears earned the Distinguished Flying Cross Herbert Richardson (middle), a 1941 All-American in the rope climb, is and two Air Medals.

Marshall tied for 16th in the all-around and Lewis ranked 36th on floor exercise. 1996-99 WITH VAN EVEREN In 1995, Marshall and Sivulka ranked among the national leaders and once again qualified for the NCAA Regionals. Sivulka held the nation’s top spot on the pommel horse into late March. He tied for first place at the EIGLs in defending his title. In spite of shattering his school mark at regionals, Sivulka fell short of qualifying for the NCAAs. Marshall competed on vault and the allaround in his second trip to the NCAAs. He finished two spots shy of All-America honors after placing eighth on the vault. He was 20th in allaround. Ranked nationally in all-around scoring since his freshman year, Marshall listed as high as second in the country and in the Top 10 in the six individual events. After winning the all-around title at the Eastern meet, the first Black Knight since 1939 to do so, Marshall injured his ankle on his dismount on high bar in the first event during competition at the NCAA East Regional meet. Limited to competing only on the pommel horse, he placed ninth overall and second among the individual qualifiers, good enough to earn an NCAA bid where he finished 35th. Marshall became the second gymnast inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame in November 2005. Ben Hayward wrote the headlines the next three years. In 1997, he won the Eastern title on the pommel horse and qualified for the East Regionals along with team captain Peter Gizzi, Mike Bush and freshman Jason Delmarty. Ben Hayward went on to finish runner-up on the horse at regionals to earn a trip to the NCAAs, marking the fifth straight year Army sent a representative to the national competition. There, he copped All-America honors following a fifth-place finish, becoming just the eighth Black Knight to earn that certificate on the horse and first since Olympian Gar O’Quinn in 1958. In 1999, Hayward captured his third straight pommel horse title and freshman Troy Pazcoguin was named the ECAC “Rookie of the Year.” Hayward closed out his career by qualifying for the NCAA East Regional for the fourth straight year and was joined by Pazcoguin and Delmarty. Hayward tied for fourth on the horse at regionals and Pazcoguin shared 14th place on the parallel bars as both qualified for the NCAA Championships. It was the second trip to the na-

tionals for Hayward, who at one point ranked first in the nation on the horse. At the NCAAs, Hayward tied for 13th place on the horse and Pazcoguin shared 36th on parallel bars. 2000-05 WITH VAN EVEREN In the first year of the new millennium, the Black Knights sent six gymnasts to the nationals in a new format that had the East and West regions competing together. Scott Harris and John Robella ranked third in the East on floor exercise and parallel bars, respectively, and Pazcoguin (vault) was seventh in 2000. A new scoring format posed a difficult chal-

lenge of lower scores and more difficult routines, but Army thrived as a record-high eight Black Knights qualified for the 2001 NCAA Championships along with posting an 8-3 dual mark. Army’s contingent was the second-largest among the 56 individual qualifiers. Pazcoguin, making his third straight NCAA appearance, advanced to the preliminary round where he tied for fifth. Earlier he was crowned an Eastern champion on vault and was runnerup on high bar, leading Army to a fifth-place finish at the ECAC Championships. In 2002, Army defeated Air Force in dedicating its new facility, Lou Gross Sports Center, in

HISTORY mid-February, and then successfully defended its All-Academy Championship later in the month. Eckerman was crowned an Eastern champion on floor exercise, becoming only the second gymnast in Army history to win that event. Pazcoguin was selected the ECAC “Senior Athlete of the Year.” Pazcoguin qualified for the NCAA Championships, meeting the standard in all-around for the third consecutive year. Robella and Matt Eckerman also qualified for the third straight year. Robella became Army’s second gymnast under the new scoring format to advance to the preliminary round following a ninth-place finish on floor exercise, but fell short of qualifying for the finals after tying for 16th place. In 2003, Army defeated Navy and Air Force twice during the dual meet season, and snapped a five-meet losing streak to Temple. Army listed as high as No. 9 in the GymInfo poll for its best showing under Doug Van Everen. Following a second-place finish at the ECAC Championships, the Black Knights qualified their largest individual contingent (12) for the national meet. Senior team captain Dustin Greenhill closed out his career with All-America honors on parallel bars following a second-place finish at the NCAAs. He is just the fourth Army gymnast to earn accolades in that event. Lee, who finished ninth at the NCAAs on still rings, was one of four Black Knights to earn USAGC All-America honors after being crowned a national champion in his specialty. Freshman Mike Tiffany earned a pair of certificates on parallel bars and still rings with Robella (high bar) and freshman Chris Kennedy (pommel horse) rounding out the All-America USAGC list. Heading into the NCAA meet ranked No. 2 all season on still rings, Lee reached the individual finals for the second straight year, but came up short in his bid for All-America honors. Lee was crowned the individual champion on rings at the ECAC Championships after helping the Black Knights to runner-up honors, but lost out on scoring average for an NCAA bid. Brandon Whitten was named the “ECAC Rookie of the Year”. Runner-up honors at the ECAC Championships in 2004 earned No. 12 Army its first bid to the NCAA Championships since 1963. Lee was crowned the ECAC championship on still rings and headed to the NCAAs ranked No. 2 in the nation. He reached the individual finals for the second straight year and just missed earning All-America honors after finishing eighth. Lee closed out his collegiate career in 2005 with a second-place showing on still rings at

the NCAA Championships held at Christl Arena. The 29th AllAmerican in school history, he held the top score in the finals of the NCAA Championships until the last competitor. His success at the national event capped a stellar season for the Black Knights that included an Eastern title, an individual Eastern champion and an All-American, to go along with Van Everen’s regional and ECAC “Coach of the Year” plaudits, and assistant coach Carmine Giglio’s national “Assistant Coach of the Year” accolades.

2012 Army Gymnastics Media Guide

ARMY IN THE COMMUNITY The men’s gymnastics team falls in line with the rest of West Point’s varsity teams when it comes to visibility in the community. The Black Knights take great pride in reaching out to youth as well as serving as role models. A trip to Texas in 2008 for the All-Academy Championships also resulted in a visit to Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston by the Cadets and coaching staff, where they performed for the young patients along with bearing gifts. The team’s latest outing has been at Black Knights Alley, a family fun zone prior to Army home football games. The gymnasts entertained the crowd by walking on their hands and spinning on a mat to get their attention, then drew raves with their vaults.
®
The Black Knights flew over volunteers from a women’s basketball ll player to a group of Boy Scouts and Cadets wearing Stetsons, along g with the Army mule. Army’s cadet-athletes have a uniqueness about them, which make ke them ideal role models for today’s youth, and the gymnastics team m plans to continue that trend throughout the season
