LETTER FROM COACH LINDEMAN

Dear Friends of Air Force Track and Field,

During the 2012 season, our vision for the Air Force Academy Track and Field program has never been clearer -- ‘to develop highly competi ti ve men’s and women’s track and fi eld teams which annually contend for the Mountain West Conference ti tle; insisti ng on a total commitment to academic and military goals; unwavering compliance with insti -tuti onal, conference and NCAA guidelines, whose trademarks are an image of complete class and unquesti oned integrity.’

Our strategy and tacti cs to realize this vision is simple -- ‘to recruit the highest quality student-athletes in the United States, and to develop those in our program to improve and progress from week to week, month to month, and year to year, into conference championship-caliber and NCAA championship-qualifying performers.’

We trust you’ll see that we are committ ed to excellence in athleti cs with this 2012 Media Guide. Our traditi ons, our coaching staff , our faciliti es, our schedule and the administra-ti ve and fi nancial support we receive are among the best in NCAA Division I athleti cs.

We hope you will recognize that the Air Force Academy is characterized not only by its athleti c achievements, but also by its sound foundati on of academic leadership and char-acter development. The mott o -- “Integrity fi rst, service before self and excellence in all we do” -- is truly believed in by each member of our administrati on, team, and coaching staff .

Under the leadership of our athleti c department personnel, the future for this program conti nues to be promising. Their vision, understanding and dedicati on will allow Air Force Track and Field to grow and mature to one of the premier programs in the country.

The team and coaches welcome you to another exciti ng season of Air Force Track and Field and we express our appreciati on to the Falcons’ many friends, students and alumni for your support. Together, we are a part of the great Air Force traditi on and each of us plays an important role in the future success of the Air Force Academy Track and Field program.

Sincerely,

Ralph LindemanAir Force Track and Field Coach

MEET THE AIR FORCE COACHES


Ralph Lindeman, a nine-time conference coach of the year, is beginning his 23rd sea-son at the helm of the Air Force track and field team.

Lindeman is well-known throughout the international track and field community and holds many distinctions from his long involvement with both the Olympic sport and the Academy’s athletic program. From the very first day he stepped onto the track at the Academy in 1989, the Falcons have benefited from Lindeman’s leadership and his love of coaching.

Over his tenure at the Academy, Lindeman has earned numerous coaching distinc-tions and honors. He is a nine-time conference Coach of the Year and the 2001 NCAA Mountain Region Men’s Outdoor Coach of the Year. He was most recently voted as the Mountain West Conference Men’s Coach of the Year during the 2011 indoor season, marking the sixth time he has claimed an MWC award (indoor: 2011, 2008, 2004, 2001; outdoor: 2003, 2001). In addition to earning the 1995 WAC Indoor Coach of the Year and the 1991 WAC Cross Country Coach of the Year at Air Force, Lindeman was named the 1989 Big West Coach of the Year while at Long Beach State.

He has guided the Air Force men’s program to 18 top-three finishes during Mountain West Conference indoor and outdoor seasons (24 total), including four runner-up posi-tions. He has watched the women’s program break numerous Academy records and become a significant force in the league.

His work is not limited to the boundaries of the Academy. Lindeman served as an assistant coach for the U.S. Men’s Track & Field Team that participated in the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Japan. Previously, he was the jumps, pole vault and decathlon coach for the U.S. Men’s Track & Field Team at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. That team collected 19 medals - including two Gold and five Silver medals from Lindeman-coached athletes - for the squad’s highest medal count since the 1992 Games in Barcelona.

He also served as an advisor to the South Korean team at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul and was a scheduling manager for the 1996 Games in Atlanta. In addition to his work with the Olympic Games, Lindeman has also served as the head men’s coach for the 2001 World University Games, the 1999 Pan American Games and the “North Team” at the 1993 U.S. Olympic Festival.

As the chairman of the hurdle sub-committee for USATF’s Men’s Development Com-mittee from 1993-2000, he has coordinated video analysis of all hurdle races at USA Championships and Olympic Trials and managed a series of annual mini-camps for the elite U.S. male hurdlers at San Diego’s Olympic Training Center. Lindeman has also worked on the coaching staff for the United States men’s team at the 1992 World Junior Championships and the “West Team” at the 1987 U.S. Olympic Festival.

Lindeman first became excited about track and field as a seventh grader at Phoenix Christian Grade School in Arizona, when his physical education teacher took his class to a collegiate track dual-meet featuring Arizona State and New Mexico. Later, the influences of his high school track coaches, according to Lindeman, “unknowingly in-spired me to pursue coaching.”

Lindeman’s coaching career began in 1973, when he was an assistant coach at Carl Hayden High School in Phoenix, Ariz., working with the football and track teams.

From there, he became an assistant track coach at Glendale High School in Glendale, Ariz., working under Ken France, a legend in the Arizona coaching ranks. He also served as the head coach for the cross country and track teams during his five-year tenure at Glendale.

Following a stint as the boys’ track and cross country coach at Westwood High School in Mesa, Ariz., Lindeman moved up to the collegiate ranks, becoming an assistant track coach at Arizona State, coaching the field events for the men’s team. The 1982 Sun Devil team won Arizona State’s first-ever PAC-10 title in track and field.

In 1982, Lindeman went to the University of Arizona as an assistant coach of the men’s and women’s teams, overseeing the sprints, hurdles and jumps. Both the men’s and women’s teams placed in the top 10 at the 1984 NCAA Championships.

Lindeman credits Len Miller at Arizona State University and Dave Murray at the Uni-versity of Arizona for giving him his first opportunities at the university level and teach-ing him about coaching collegiate athletes. For his 11 years coaching within the state of Arizona, Lindeman was inducted into the Arizona Track Coaches Association’s Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2009.

Lindeman left Arizona in 1984, when he was named the head coach at Long Beach State University. During his five years there, he took the men’s and women’s track and field teams, as well as the cross country teams, to new heights in the Big West Confer-ence. He remained with the 49ers until his appointment at Air Force.

COACHING ASSIGNMENTS

Lindeman’s bio continued...

In 1989, Lindeman came to the Air Force Academy as the head coach of the men’s and women’s track and field team, as well as the head coach of the Falcons’ men’s cross country program.

As the cross country mentor, he guided the Falcons to their first-ever conference championship title, when they claimed the 1991 Western Athletic Conference championship. Led by two-time WAC Champion, Chris Nelson, Lindeman’s 1991 team went on to place second at the regional meet and 14th at the NCAA Champi-onships. The team’s second-place finish at the regional championships remains the best finish ever by an Air Force cross country team, while its placing at the national meet is the program’s second-best finish since 1967.

Since Lindeman’s arrival at the Air Force Academy, the Falcons have accounted for 31 WAC champions and 71 Mountain West Conference champions. In addition, the men have rewritten 40 Academy records, while the women have displaced 35. Lindeman-coached Air Force teams have produced two national champions, including Callie Calhoun, who earned five titles during her career and Dana Pounds, who collected back-to-back titles in the javelin. His teams have also garnered 44 All-America selections.

Lindeman has a simple coaching philosophy which is summed up in the USAFA core values - “Integrity first. Service before self. Excellence in all we do”.

He believes that his role as the head coach is to make sure that the program provides a framework in which the cadet-athletes can achieve excellence, not only athletically, but also academically and militarily.

In addition to his coaching duties, he has been a featured speaker at coaching clinics in 25 states and four countries, while writing articles that have been published in three journals and chapters of the textbooks “Hurdles: Theory and Technique” and the “USA Track and Field Coaching Manual” (1999 edition).

Lindeman has been very active on various track and field committees, as well. He served as the first chairman of the Coaches’ Association Ethics Committee, and was elected as the chair of the USATF Coaches Advisory Committee in 2009, a position he still holds. He has also sat on the men’s hurdle development committee during four Olympic quadrennials, holding the chairman’s position from 1993-2000. In addition, he has served on the NCAA Track and Field Rules Committee, acting as the chairman for the 2000 outdoor championships and was the president of the U.S. Track and Field Coaches Association (Division I Coaches) from 2000-03.

Lindeman sees his involvement with these organizations as a way to not only make a significant improvement to the sport of collegiate track and field, but to extend benefits to the development of the Air Force program.

Lindeman graduated in 1973 from Arizona State University with a bachelor’s degree in physical education. He went on to complete a master’s degree in exercise science from ASU in 1976.

He has been married for the past 40 years to his wife, Cindy, who has been a fixture as a teacher at Springs Community Church Preschool for many years. They have two children and six grandchildren.

Their daughter, Jennifer, is a graduate of Arizona State, as is her husband, Brian Rowedder. Jennifer and Brian have three children, Maddison, Brock and Landon. Their son, Brian, is a firefighter in Parker, Colo., and a former high school state champion in the pole vault. He is married to Heather Dunavint, and they have twin girls, Elsie and Mira, and a son, Brogan.

What is the “Lindeman Philosophy”? “I don’t think my positi on is just coaching the men’s and women’s track teams. My responsibility is to provide leadership for the enti re program - that means not only ensuring athleti c success, but success in the other mission elements as well. I’ve al-ways thought of myself fi rst and foremost as a teacher, and that’s how I started out in this profession - teaching biology and coaching at the high school level. I’m now a teacher who spends up to three hours every day with the cadet-athletes I work with. I like to think I mentor those cadet-athletes in everything I teach from track and fi eld technique and training to character development and leadership.”

Who do you look to as a mentor?“I get much of my inspirati on and moti vati on from my peers - like Scott Irving from our own staff , or rivals like Ron Mann at Louisville, Rick McGuire at Missouri or John McNichols at Indiana State - I respect these guys and value their opinions. Also, my wife, Cindy, is the most loving and thoughtf ul person I’ve ever been around. She chal-lenges me to be the same - in fact, I guess I have to say that she is my “mentor” in additi on to being my best friend.”

What do you love about being a coach at the Academy? “I love the caliber of the young men and young women that I get to work with. They are well-rounded individuals who have higher prioriti es than athleti cs, but who are just as committ ed to excellence as any other highly successful competi tors.”

What do you expect from YOUR athletes? “I expect them to be committ ed to excellence, which means always striving to de-velop, progress and show improvement of their performances in their events over the course of the year and throughout their four years in our program.”

What is your vision for the program? “Our vision is to develop highly competi ti ve men’s and women’s track and fi eld and cross country teams which annually contend for the conference ti tle, while insisti ng on a total commitment to academic and military goals, unwavering compliance with insti tuti onal and NCAA guidelines; and whose trademarks are an image of complete class and unquesti oned integrity.”

What do you look for when recruiti ng athletes? “The fi rst task is to identi fy high school juniors and seniors who can run fast, jump high and throw far. Then, we screen the candidates for their academic credenti als, charac-ter and citi zenship. Finally, our challenge is to sell the prospects on a service academy educati on and a career in the U.S. Air Force.”

What are your most memorable coaching experiences? “The most memorable experiences are of the teams that achieved way beyond their potenti al. This would include the 2004 men’s team which went into the fi nal event of the Mountain West Conference Indoor Championships within three points of both eventual champion, BYU, and runner-up, Colorado State. Then, there was our 1995 men’s team which was the runner-up in the indoor conference championships - just three and half points behind BYU. At the ti me, that was the closest any team had come to BYU in six years - that was exciti ng! And I will never forget the 1991 cross country team that won the Air Force Academy’s fi rst-ever WAC Championship and then placed 14th in the NCAA Championships. I love scoring meets, parti cularly con-ference championship meets. They’re all memorable when I can look back and iden-ti fy both individual and team successes.”

OFF THE TRACK

ABOVE: Lindeman was named the Mountain West Indoor Men’s Coach of the Year in 2011, after guiding the men’s team to a program-best second-place finish at the MWC Championships. BELOW: Lindeman visited the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, while he was a member of the coaching staff for the U.S. Men’s Track and Field Team at the 2004 Olympic Games.


Scott Irving is in his 14th season as the coach of the throwing events for the Air Force track and field team. He joined the Academy staff in 1999 as the coach of the field events and was promoted to the associate head coach before the start of the 2008 season. His primary responsibilities include recruiting for field events and coaching the Falcons’ throwing program.

In 13 seasons, Irving has developed the Academy throwers into one of the top throw-ing programs, not only in the Mountain West Conference, but nationally as well, on both the NCAA and USATF championship scenes. Under Irving’s guidance, program re-cords have been rewritten countless times in every field event. In addition, the throw-ers have continued to increase point production at the MWC Championships. In fact, the women’s throws team, which includes over two-thirds of the program’s all-MWC selections, has scored over half of the team points at the conference championships every year since 2003.

The 2011 season saw several firsts take place for the Irving’s throwers, as James Cole claimed the men’s first-ever All-America accolade in the discus throw and Rob Drye won the program’s first conference title in the hammer throw. Cole also became the first thrower to claim all-MWC status in the discus throw, while Drye set Academy records in the weight throw and hammer throw. With the second-best discus mark in Academy history, Cole was one of three juniors to move into second on the program’s all-time lists in 2011, joining Kyle Schwochow and Paige Blackburn, who each moved into second on the program’s all-time lists in their respective indoor shot put events.

The 2010 season accounted for five MWC titles, one All-America certificate and four Academy records from Irving-coached athletes. Sara Neubauer, who won conference titles in the indoor shot put, weight throw, outdoor shot put and discus throw, earned All-America status in the discus throw for the second straight year and set Academy records in the indoor and outdoor shot put, weight throw and hammer throw. Katie Weber won the javelin throw at the conference meet, as Air Force accounted for five of the six throwing titles at the combined conference championships. In addition, Neubauer won four event titles at the Military Championships, leading the women to their first-ever team championship at the all-service academy meet.

Under Irving’s direction, Neubauer became the Falcons’ first female athlete ever to earn multiple All-America honors at the Division I level, following top-eight finishes in the shot put and discus throw at the 2009 NCAA Championships. Neubauer, who scored for Air Force in all four throwing events at the MWC Outdoor Championships and earned all-conference accolades in the shot put and discus throw, set Academy records in the indoor and outdoor shot put, as well as the hammer throw (in just her first year throwing that apparatus).

Jocelyn Dooley was the Academy’s first female NCAA Division I regional qualifier in 2003. Since that time, Irving’s throwers have accounted for 28 of the 39 female quali-fiers to the NCAA Regional meet. And of the eight times Falcons have advanced to the national championship meet in all women’s sports at the Academy, Irving has coached seven (Pounds three times, Korte twice, Neubauer twice and Dooley).

Since the Falcons joined the Mountain West Conference in 2000, Irving has coached 20 MWC champions and 19 MWC runners-up during the indoor and outdoor seasons for the Falcons’ men’s and women’s track and field teams. In fact, Irving-coached athletes have won at least one conference javelin title during eight of the last 12 years and hold the women’s championship meet record.

With Neubauer’s titles in the indoor shot put, weight throw, outdoor shot put and discus throw, Weber’s 2010 javelin championship, Korte’s 2007 crown in the discus throw, Pounds’ three titles in the javelin, Dominique Boivin’s 2003 discus title and Ana-Maria Ortega’s 2001 title in the pole vault, Irving claims all 11 of Air Force’s female Mountain West Conference champions.

For his success, Irving has been honored as the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division I Mountain Region Women’s Outdoor As-sistant Coach of the Year in 2009 and 2010. He is the first Air Force assistant coach to be honored in this capacity and third overall connected to the throws program, joining Neubauer (Mountain Region Outdoor Female Field Athlete of the Year, 2010) and Dana Pounds (Mountain Region Outdoor Female Field Athlete of the Year, 2006).

Irving brought impressive credentials to the Academy. Countless champions in four leagues, over 35 All-Americans, eight national champions, numerous national team members and two Olympians have developed under his tutelage.

He helped build two NCAA championship programs at Oregon (1977-83) and Florida (1983-89). Three records for Irving-coached athletes stand at Oregon, and Florida throwers earned five of the top seven places in the women’s discus throw at the 1989 SEC championships, including the champion and runner-up.

From 1989-93, Irving guided Illinois’ men’s team back to the conference title, as he built the strongest field events program in the Big Ten. At Illinois, he coached three Big Ten triple jump champions, including 1991 Big Ten Medal of Honor winner, GTE Academic All-American and NCAA outdoor All-American Aaron Mobarak. Another Irving-coached athlete, JD Teach, was a five-time conference shot put champion and NCAA All-American.

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH SCOTT IRVING


ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH SCOTT IRVINGIrving’s bio continued...

Records by Irving’s javelin throwers still stand in five programs where he has coached (Atlantic Coast Confer-ence, Big Ten Conference, Southeastern Conference, Pac-10 Conference, Mountain West Conference).

Irving has continued to coach Pounds after her collegiate career ended. Under Irving’s supervision, she won the national title at the 2007 USATF Championships, upsetting the defending champion and then-American record holder. A member of Team USA and the Air Force World Class Athlete Program, Pounds placed second at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials and has competed at the World Championships and Pan-American Games.

He also coach Neubauer to a USTF Junior National title in the shot put following her freshman campaign.

Irving’s national coaching assignments include the 1985 World University Games, the 1987 Olympic Festival, head coach for the 1989 junior tour, the 1990 Scandinavian Javelin Tour, and the “U.S. vs. Great Britain” Meet in the summer of 1993. In 2009, Irving was selected as a featured speaker at the annual U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Convention, where he spoke on coaching javelin throw-ers. In addition, Irving has written dozens of technical articles.

A recipient of two master’s degrees (Art History from Northwestern in 1977 and Physical Education from Oregon in 1979), the 1973 Willamette University graduate places the pursuit of academic excellence as an utmost priority.

Irving’s throwers at Oregon annually dotted the dean’s list, while his throwers at Florida made the All-SEC academic team 40 times. Since joining the Academy, his athletes have earned academic all-conference honors on over 55 occasions.

Phenomenally, during two of his four years at Illinois, he had athletes awarded the most prestigious accolade - the Big Ten Medal of Honor for academic/athletic excellence. That tradition of academic excellence continues at the Academy, as eight Falcons have been named to the national USTFCCCA All-Academic Team and Brian Willis, a 2005 USAFA graduate, was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship.

Irving was born in Portland, Ore., 40 miles from his hometown of Cascade Locks. He and his wife, Allyn, have been married 39 years and have two sons, Scott and Kevin.

Juli Benson is in her fourth season as an assistant coach for the Air Force track and field team. In addition to her duties coaching the Falcons’ middle distance and distance runners during the track and field season, Benson is the head coach for the Academy’s cross country program, where she was named the Mountain West Conference Men’s Cross Country Coach of the Year in 2010.

Since Benson’s arrival in 2009, members of the Falcons’ middle distance and distance teams have accounted for four All-America awards, six MWC conference titles, 14 all-conference selections and 10 Academy records.

Last season, Benson helped cap off the remarkable collegiate career of Justin Tyner, who claimed two individual All-America certificates (indoor 3000-meter run, outdoor 3000-meter steeplechase) and ran the anchor leg of the program’s first-ever All-America distance medley relay team. Tyner, who claimed Mountain West Conference titles (indoor 3000-meter run, indoor 5000-meter run, outdoor 5000-meter run) during his senior year, became the sec-ond of Benson’s athletes to claim the MWC High Point Award after winning the two longest races of the indoor season (Sean Houseworth, 2009).

She also coached Tyner to All-America status in 2010, as he was the top American finisher in the 3000-meter run at the NCAA Indoor Championships (finishing third overall). It was the first All-America honor by a distance runner for the Falcons since 1998.

Benson, who was selected as the Mountain West Conference Cross Country Coach of the Year in the fall of 2010, has revitalized the Falcons’ cross country program. The men finished second at the conference meet in 2011, while five Falcons (four men, one woman) collected all-conference honors. In 2010, the Benson-led men’s cross country team sent two athletes to the NCAA Cross Country Championships - the most since 2004 - while the women’s squad matched its best Mountain West Conference Championship finish in six years.

Benson comes to the Academy following a three-year stint at George Mason University, where she served as the middle distance coach and recruiting coordinator for the men’s team. While with the Patriots, Benson was instru-mental in improving the placement of the men’s cross country team at the Colonial Athletic Association Champion-ships from ninth to second in just two seasons.

Prior to her time at GMU, she spent five years as an assistant coach for the men’s and women’s track and field team at Georgetown University. During her tenure with the Hoyas, over 20 athletes earned All-America status. In addition, the distance program was consistently ranked among the nation’s top-10.

One of her Georgetown runners, Chris Lukezic, won the USA Junior National Championship in the 1500-meter run and finished fourth in that event at the 2004 Olympic Trials. She also guided Treniere Clement to a runner-up per-formance in the 1500-meter run at the 2004 NCAA Championships.

BY THE NUMBERS

Scott Steffan is in his fifth season as an assistant coach with the Air Force track and field team, where he serves as the event coach for the pole vault team. Since his arrival in 2008, six men and seven women have impacted the program’s top-10 indoor records, while four men and six women have moved up the Academy’s all-time outdoor list.

In his first season with the Falcons, Steffan coached the pole vault program to a record-setting season. Nick Frawley became the program’s 21st outdoor All-American, after placing second at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. He also won the Mountain West Conference title at the indoor championships, while claiming all-conference honors at the outdoor meet. On the women’s side, Melissa Beerse rewrote both the indoor and outdoor records and earned all-conference honors during the indoor season, while three other Falcons made their mark on the women’s top-10 lists. In addition, both Frawley and Beerse participated in the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships.

In 2009, the Steffan-coached pole vault team exceeded its success from his first season. Frawley picked up a pair of All-America certificates, tying for seventh at the NCAA Indoor Championships and placing seventh outright at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Frawley, who was named the USTFCCCA Division I Mountain Region Indoor Male Field Athlete of the Year, set the Academy’s indoor pole vault mark at 18’1”. On the women’s side, a pair of Falcons’ earned all-conference accolades, as Rachel Simmons (indoor) and Kimber Shealy (outdoor) each finished third at their respective championship meets. Shealy, who was named to the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team, moved into the top-three in the program’s all-time record book, including a tie for second (12’7½”) outdoors.

Steffan’s athletes continued to have unprecedented success in 2010, concluding with another All-America honor for Frawley. Following a third-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, Frawley became the Academy’s most-decorated Division I All-American, with four citations. The Falcons claimed the top two finishes at the indoor confer-ence championship, as Frawley won his third career title and Chase Cooper placed second. The program’s top-10 list received a major revamp for the third straight year, as seven of the top heights in men’s and women’s history were accounted for. Shealy, who was named to the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team for the second straight year, became just the second member of the women’s team to clear the 13-foot bar during the indoor season.

Despite the graduation of Frawley, Steffan’s vaulters didn’t miss a step in 2011. Cale Simmons concluded the out-door campaign ranked seventh in the nation (17’7¾”) and fourth in the Academy record books. He also collected all-conference honors at both the indoor and outdoor MWC Championships, while earning a pair of MWC Athlete of the Week awards. Rob Simmons, who also competed at the NCAA semifinals, debuted on the Academy’s top-10 lists in both the indoor and outdoor vaults. Highlighted by Shealy and Tawny Lambuth tying for the second-best outdoor clearance in program history (12’10”), members of the women’s team accounted for four of the top-seven indoor marks and three of the top-five outdoor marks in Academy history.

Steffan joined the Falcons’ program after spending seven years at the University of New Mexico, where he coached the pole vault and the men’s multi-event athletes. Under his watch, eight Lobos earned all-conference honors and three competed at the NCAA Championships. In addition, at least three vaulters qualified for the regional cham-pionships during each of his last four years. He coached former Lobo Robert Caldwell to All-America status, while leading Derek Mackel to the NCAA Midwest Regional record of 18’1”. In addition, Steffan also improved the Lobos’ decathlon and heptathlon teams. He guided UNM to two decathlon titles, as well as its first MWC heptathlon crown. In all, Steffan coached six all-conference honorees in the multi-events and two NCAA Championship participants.

Prior to joining the UNM staff, Steffan spent three years at Wichita State University. While there, he coached All-Americans in the pole vault, triple jump and heptathlon. His women’s pole vault team finished first, second and third at the Missouri Valley Conference championships during each of his three years.

He began his collegiate coaching career at the University of Virginia in 1991. During his six years at Virginia, he coached All-American athletes in the high jump, heptathlon, decathlon, 400-meter hurdles and long jump. He also guided 22 Atlantic Coast Conference champions.

An all-Western Athletic Conference decathlete for the Lobos, Steffan graduated from UNM in 1991 with a bachelor’s degree in education. A native of Aztec, N.M., Steffan and his wife, Joanne, have two young sons - Jake and Trey.

Mark Stanforth returns to the Air Force track and field program for his second season as a volunteer coach. Stanforth, who retired in 2006 after serving 15 years as the head coach of the cross country and associate head coach of the track and field team, will assist the current Falcons’ middle distance and distance runners.

The highlights for the men’s cross country program during Stanforth’s 15 years include three top-16 NCAA finishes between 2000 and 2004, topped by an eighth-place finish in 2003. When the Falcons qualified for the NCAA Division I championship in 2000, it marked a unique coaching distinction for Stanforth - his teams had qualified for the na-tional cross country championship in every collegiate division: NJCAA, NAIA, NCAA Di-visions I, II and III. The Falcons won three conference championships, were conference runners-up six times and finished outside the top three only once in that 15 year span. Stanforth was selected by his peers as the conference coach of the year four times.

Stanforth led the women’s cross country team during their transition from NCAA Divi-sion II to Division I. In his first four years, the Falcon women competed in Division II and qualified for the NCAA championships each year with program-high finishes of sixth place in both 1992 and 1995. In 1996, the Academy women’s programs moved to Division I. In 1999, the Falcons started a string of five consecutive third-place MWC conference finishes, the only upper division finishes by any Falcon women’s program in Division I.

Individually, athletes with whom Stanforth worked with earned All-America honors 10 times in track and field and six times in cross country. He coached 26 individual conference champions on the track and one in cross country. His teams also earned national all-academic honors nine times.

Prior to coaching at the Academy, Stanforth coached one year at his alma mater, the University of South Dakota/Springfield, seven years at Glendale (Ariz.) Community College and five years at the University of California, San Diego, in addition to one year as a graduate assistant at Northern State (S.D.) University.

Stanforth and his wife, Pat, have two sons, Nicholas and Daniel.

Bob Graf is entering his seventh season as a volunteer coach for the Air Force track and field team, where he works primarily with the program’s high jumpers.

The 2011 season proved to be a banner year for Graf and his jumpers. Four members of the women’s team debuted on the program’s top-10 list, highlighted by Regan Rogers’ Freshman Class Record of 5’8” – the second-best jump in Academy history. On the men’s side, Zach Wood used an outdoor clearance of 6’10¼” to become the first jumper to impact the program’s all-time record book since 1998.

Graf joined the Academy staff after spending six years as the assistant track coach at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs. Prior to his appointment at UCCS, Graf spent 25 years coaching at the high school level, including 18 years at Wasson High School in Colorado Springs. He has also coached several athletes in the Army’s World Class Athlete program and at the 2008 Olympic Trials.

During his career, Graf coached a state championship boys’ team and a state cham-pion or place-finisher in 17 of 18 track events. He has been honored as the Coach of the Year four times, was named the Junior Achievement “Economics Teacher of the Year” for the state of Colorado and the Colorado High School Coaches Association Teacher/Coach of the Year. Graf has also served as the president and executive secre-tary of the Colorado High School Coaches Association.

In March 2012, Graf will be inducted into the Colorado High School Coaches Hall of Fame.

He is a retired master USA Track and Field official and spent 20 years as the head starter for Air Force track meets. Graf has also served as the head starter at the Colo-rado state meet. He has worked at two Olympic Games and four Olympic Trials, as well as numerous national meets. He is also a member of the USA Track and Field Officials Association. He is also a member of the USA Track and Field Officials Association.

Graf received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Northern Colorado and went on to obtain a master’s degree from Adams State College, where he worked as a graduate assistant for the cross country and track programs.

A retired activities director from the Woodland Park School District, Graf and his wife Suzie live at Blue Mountain Ranch, which is an activities and sports camp that was founded by Suzie’s parents in 1946. They have two sons, David and Tim.

In his 10th year as a volunteer coach with the Falcons, Ron White brings a diverse coaching background to the Air Force track and field program. White works with the Falcons’ sprinters and hurdlers, assisting in the development of 13 conference cham-pions and 52 all-conference athletes.

Following his last tour in Vietnam, White returned to coaching in Weisbaden, Ger-many. His military coaching duties included two years as the head track coach for the USAFE team that placed third and second at the All-Air Force Championships. He also spent several years as the head track coach, assistant football coach and head of the Department of Athletics and Training at the USAFA Prep School.

After his retirement from the Air Force, White resumed his coaching career within the Colorado Public Schools System. He coached several of the best sprinters, hurdlers and middle distance runners in the state, including an undefeated two-time 110-meter high hurdles state champion and record holder.

White began coaching in the USATF Junior Olympics program and was able to coach even more state champions and finalists, which included male and female champions in both hurdle distances, sprinters in the 100-, 200- and 400-meter dashes and middle distance runners in the 1600- and 3200-meters. He also coached a 4A record-setter in the 200-meter dash and a 4A record-setter in the 400-meter dash.

As a coach for the Junior Olympics, White has guided national champions in the 200-meter dash and 400-meter hurdles, a second-place finisher in the 200-meter dash and top-eight finishers in the 100-meter and 400-meter sprints, as well as several national top-six 400-meter and 1600-meter relay teams.

White has also been a member of two Colorado state champion football staffs. As the coach of the linebackers and quarterbacks, he was fortunate to coach all-state team members in both positions.

White and his wife, Veronica, have been married for 55 years. They are blessed with five children (four daughters and one son) and nine grandchildren.

2011 SEASON IN REVIEW


INDOOR SEASON HIGHLIGHTSTYNER CLAIMS ALL-AMERICA HONORSJustin Tyner garnered first-team All-America status fol-lowing a fifth-place finish in the 3000-meter run at the 2011 NCAA Indoor Championships on March 12. He be-came just the third member of the Air Force men’s team to earn indoor All-America honors in back-to-back years and the first to do so in multiple events, as he claimed All-America honors in 2010 in the 5000-meter run.

A PROGRAM FIRSTThe distance medley relay quartet of Tyler Stanley, An-thony Delgado, Nick White and Justin Tyner became the program’s only men’s relay and the first Division I squad to earn All-America status, as they claimed second-team honors at the 2011 NCAA Indoor Championships on March 11. They are the Falcons’ first All-America relay team at any division since the women’s 1600-meter relay team claimed Division II honors in 1984.

DID YOU KNOW?Air Force is the first service academy to send a distance medley relay team to the NCAA Championships.

FALCONS SHATTER ACADEMY RECORD IN DMRWith a combined time of 9:32.06, the distance med-ley relay team of Tyler Stanley, Anthony Delgado, Nick White and Justin Tyner smashed the Academy record in that event at the Alex Wilson Invitational on March 5, subtracting nearly nine seconds off of the previous record that had stood since 2004.

MORE NEWS FROM THE FINAL QUALIFIERCale Simmons was the top collegiate finisher in the pole vault and finished second overall at the Alex Wilson In-vitational, as he matched his career-best clearance of 17’3¾”. In fact, Simmons was the only collegiate vaulter to surpass the 17-foot bar. Jim Walmsley finished sev-enth in the 5000-meter run with a time of 14:11.28.

LINDEMAN NAMED MWC COACH OF THE YEARRalph Lindeman was selected by his peers as the Moun-tain West Conference Indoor Coach of the Year, follow-ing the championship meet that saw the Falcons claim their best-ever indoor finish (second, 122 points). It is the fourth MWC indoor award for Lindeman, who also tallied the honor in 2001, 2004 and 2008.

TYNER NABS MWC HIGH POINT AWARDBacked by conference titles in the 3000- and 5000-meter races, Justin Tyner claimed the conference’s High Point Award with 20 points. The senior claimed the 5000-meter title on Friday, Feb. 25, with a championship meet record time of 14:13.33, successfully defended his 3000-meter title on Saturday, Feb. 26, with another championship meet record (8:16.72). Tyner became the second Air Force athlete to earn the conference’s High Point Award, joining Sean Houseworth, who earned the honor following a sweep of the same two races in 2009.

FALCONS CLAIM NINE ALL-CONFERENCE SELECTIONSSeven individuals and one relay team earned all-con-ference distinction, based on their top-three MWC fin-ishes. The nine men’s medalists are the most since 2008 and the second-most since 2004. The Falcons’ all-con-ference selections included Justin Tyner (3000-meter, 5000-meter), Chris Severino (400-meter), Jim Walmsley (5000-meter), Noah Palicia (heptathlon), Michael Tibbs (heptathlon), Robert Drye (shot put), Cale Simmons (pole vault) and the 4x400-meter relay of Manny Smith, Anthony Delgado, Cory Engel and Severino.

MEN TAKE SECOND AT CONFERENCE MEETBacked by three first-place finishes and a combined 122 points, the men’s team claimed their best-ever finish at the MWC Indoor Track and Field Championships.

TWO DAYS. TWO RACES. TWO TITLESIn two days, Justin Tyner collected conference titles in the two longest races of the indoor season with two championship meet-record times. One day after win-ning the 5000-meter race in 14:13.33, he defended his title in the 3000-meter run in a time of 8:16.72.

WHAT A WAY TO ENDManny Smith, Anthony Delgado, Cory Engel and Chris Severino ended the 2011 MWC Championships on a high note, capturing a first-place finish in the 4x400-me-ter relay with a season-best time of 3:12.79. The time, the fourth-fastest mark in Academy history, helped the Falcons survive a late charge by BYU for the program’s first-ever conference title in that relay distance.

THE THREE J’SJustin Tyner, Jim Walmsley and Jeremy Drenckhahn ac-counted for three of top four spots in the 5000-meter run and three of the top five spots in the 3000-meter race. The trio finished first, second and fourth, respec-tively, in the 5000-meter distance, before placing first, fourth and fifth at the 3000-meter event.

DID YOU KNOW?Justin Tyner’s victory in the 3000-meter race marked the fourth straight year that Air Force has claimed the top honor at that distance. Former Falcon Sean Houseworth claimed back-to-back titles at the 2008 and 2009 cham-pionships, before Tyner claimed the 2010 medal and de-fended his title in 2011. It is the most consecutive titles ever in that event by members of the Air Force team.

TWO OUTTA THREE AIN’T BADJustin Tyner and Jim Walmsley finished first and sec-ond, respectively, in the 5000-meter run at the MWC Championships, while Noah Palicia (second) and Mi-chael Tibbs (third) placed within the top three of the heptathlon. It is the fifth time since 2000 that Air Force has taken two of the top three spots in the 5000-meter run, while Palicia and Tibbs marked the program’s first all-MWC selections in the multi -event since 2007.

MOVING ON UPIn the event finals of the 200-meter dash, Anthony Del-gado recorded the eighth-fastest time in Academy his-tory (21.77) to finish fourth. Cale Simmons moved up to fifth in the pole vault record book, recording a career-best clearance of 17’3¾”. Noah Palicia and Michael Tibbs both recorded career-best highs in the heptath-lon to move into second (5352) and sixth (5014), respec-tively, on the program’s all-time list. Jim Walmsley and Jeremy Drenckhahn made an impact on the 5000-meter records, as they respectively accounted for the second (13:56.21, altitude adjusted) and fourth (14:01.72, alti-tude adjusted) fastest times in program history.

SAVING THE BEST FOR LASTMichael Tibbs used a career-best performance in the final event to break the Sophomore Class Record in the heptathlon, en route to a third-place finish at the MWC meet. Accumulating 5014 points, Tibbs bettered Brian Walsh’s 2005 mark by two points. In addition to better-ing his overall score by more than 150 points, Tibbs now owns both the Freshman and Sophomore Class Records.

MAKING CHANGESKatherine Ward clocked a career-best 3000-meter time of 9:48.37 (altitude adjusted) to move into second on the Academy’s all-time list. Ward headlined some major changes to the program’s record book – which had seen only three incursions since 1995 – as Jen Bremser de-buted in 10th with a converted time of 10:14.84.

GOING SOMEWHERE?The weight throw received two improvements for the record book, as Paige Blackburn threw a 56’1¾” to move improve her third-place standing and Christina Burke tossed the seventh-best throw in Academy history at 51’0”. Tawny Lambuth recorded a career-best pole vault clearance of 12’10¼” to move into third on the all-time list, while Lesly Torres collected a personal-best 3190 points in the pentathlon to move into fifth.

SIMMONS CLAIMS SECOND MWC WEEKLY AWARDCale Simmons claimed his second MWC Men’s Athlete of the Week award on Feb. 22, after posting the fifth-best pole vault clearance in Academy history (17’2¾”) to win the Robert Shine Invitational.

THERE’S SOMETHING’S IN THE AIRJust 12 Falcons have cleared the 17-foot bar in the his-tory of Air Force indoor pole vault … with three of those additions coming over a four-week span this season. Rob Simmons cleared 17’0¾” at the Don Barrett Duals, while Noah Palicia matched that mark two weeks later at the AF Invitational. Cale Simmons joined the group with a height of 17’2¾” at the Robert Shine Invitational.

SWEEP IT UPAir Force swept the event titles of the pole vault and high jump at the Robert Shine Invitational. Cale Sim-mons (career-best, 17’2¾”) and Kimber Shealy (season-best, 12’6¼”) won their respective titles in the pole vault, while Tyler Jordan (6’7¾”) and Jamie Hart (5’4¼”) claimed the top honors in their respective high jumps. Air Force also finished second (Tawny Lambuth, 12’0¾”) and tied for third (Bizzy Mellado, Paige Shirley, 11’6¼”) on the women’s pole vault, while Elliott Beski was the runner-up on the men’s side with a clearance of 15’0”.

MORE WINS FROM WYOMINGDaniel Bieber and David Ptacek accounted for first-place finishes on the track at Wyoming. Bieber won the 400-meter dash in a time of 52.53, while Ptacek made his Air Force debut at 200 meters with a winning time of 23.37. The pair also joined Max Lutton and Brad Hackert to place second in the 4x400-meter relay.

TIMING IS EVERYTHINGWith the second-fastest 3000-meter time in Academy history, Justin Tyner earned a berth to the NCAA Indoor Championships at the Husky Classic. Crossing the finish line in a NCAA Auto time of 7:53.91, Tyner subtracted 16 seconds off of his previous time to place 11th among 122 runners. Moving from ninth to second on the Acad-emy’s all-time list, Tyner became just the second Falcon runner to break the eight-minute mark at that distance.

MAKING THE JUMPShaving six seconds off of her previous best, Morgan Mosby accounted for the second-fastest 800-meter time in Academy history at the Husky Classic on Feb. 11. Crossing the finish line in 2:10.77, Mosby jumped from eighth to second on the all-time list, while finishing fourth in the 38-runner race.


CHECKING THE STOPWATCHKatherine Ward also made a drastic jump in the Acade-my’s all-time standings in Seattle, recording the second-fastest 5000-meter time in program history at 17:08.74. The senior, who improved her time by 43 seconds, moved from seventh to second on the all-time list.

QUITE THE DEBUTJeremy Drenckhahn and Tyler Stanley entered the all-time record books after strong showings at the Husky Classic. Drenckhahn clocked the Academy’s fifth-fastest time in the 5000-meter run, behind a mark of 14:09.70. The time, a 40-second personal improvement, is also a new Sophomore Class Record. Stanley shaved five sec-onds off of his 800-meter time to debut in sixth on the all-time list. He is just the second Air Force runner to impact the program’s top-six in the last eight years.

SHOT PUT SHENANIGANSThe shot put standings received multiple additions at the Air Force Invitational. With a throw of 57’11¼”, Kyle Schwochow improved his distance by over two feet to vault from fifth to second on the men’s all-time list with a Junior Class Record. On the women’s side, Paige Black-burn bettered her distance to 48’5½” and improved her second-place all-time standing, while Teresa Loya tossed a 45’4½” to move into fifth on the all-time list.

MOVING TO NEW HEIGHTSNoah Palicia became just the 11th Air Force pole vaulter to ever clear the 17-foot bar, as he won the unseeded event at the Air Force Invitational (17’0¾”). Palicia, who moved into a tie for seventh on the all-time list, is the second Falcon in three meets to reach that mark.

WHAT DID YOU DO THIS WEEKEND?James Dills accounted for the 10th-highest heptathlon total in Academy history at the AF Invitational with 4,516 points, while Jalen Fooster set a Freshman Class Record in the weight throw with a distance of 54’9¼”.

MULTIPLE CHANGES MADE TO THE HEPTATHLONNoah Palicia scored a career-best 5,293 points to move into second on the program’s all-time heptathlon list at the New Mexico Combined Events Meet on Feb. 5. The senior improved his career total by nearly 300 points to become the fifth Air Force multi -event athlete to surpass the 5,000-point mark in Academy heptathlon history. Michael Tibbs also moved up the all-ti me stand-ings, recording a personal-best total of 4,858 points to move into seventh on the program’s all-time list.

WHITE IT OUTNick White accounted for the ninth-fastest 800-meter run ti me in program history on Feb. 5, as he crossed the finish line in a personal-best time of 1:52.46 (1:52.07 with altitude adjustments). White became the first Fal-con to impact the 800-meter indoor standings since 2008 and just the third since 2003.

DRYE BREAKS OWN ACADEMY RECORDRobert Drye broke his own Air Force Academy standard in the weight throw at the New Mexico Classic on Feb. 4, recording a distance of 62’3”. Drye bettered his previous program record by over one foot, as he blasted past the mark of 61’1½” that he set at last year’s New Mexico meet. The throw also vaulted the junior to the top of the Mountain West Conference standings this season. Drye also set the Academy’s Junior Class Record in that event, giving him all three class records to this point.

PUTTING HIS NAME INCrossing the finish line in a time of 1:19.52, Tyler Stanley set the Air Force Academy record in the 600-meter run during the first day of action at the New Mexico Classic on Feb. 4. It is the second time in three weeks that the senior team co-captain has shined in a non-traditional race, as Stanley also won the 1000-meter event at the Nebraska Wesleyan Invitational on Jan. 21.

HIGHER AND HIGHERRegan Rogers cleared a career-best height of 5’8” in the high jump at the New Mexico Classic on Feb. 4 to equal the program’s second-best clearance. Rogers, who be-came the first Falcon in over 10 years to move into the program’s top five on Jan. 22, matched Shannon Averill’s 1987 mark. In addition, Rogers’ clearance also equaled Jennifer Petykowski’s 1995 Freshman Class Record.

MORE CHANGES TO THE RECORD BOOKCrossing the finish line of the 200-meter dash in 21.94, Anthony Delgado tied former Falcon Dee Muhenga’s 1992 time to debut in ninth on the program’s all-time list at that distance. Paige Blackburn moved from sixth to third in the weight throw standings, as she recorded a distance of 54’10”. Lesly Torres moved into seventh in the pentathlon standings with 3,075 points, while Jamie Hart entered in ninth with 2,754 points. Torres also de-buted in the high jump, clearing 5’5” to tie for 10th.

MAKING HERSELF AT HOMEMorgan Mosby won the 600-meter race at the New Mexico Classic on Feb. 4 with an Albuquerque Conven-tion Center record time of 1:35.46. The sophomore shaved nearly three seconds off of the previous venue record (1:38.31) to easily win the race.

GETTING THEM ALL INAir Force claimed both pole vault titles, as well as the top four spots, at the Don Barrett Duals. Rob Simmons cleared a career bar of 17’0¾”to win the men’s event, while Melissa Beerse recorded 12’7½” to win the wom-en’s field. Cale Simmons finished second for the men with a career-best matching 16’6¾”, while Noah Palicia equaled his personal-best clearance of 16’0¾” to take third and Elliott Beski tied for fourth behind a career-best bar of 15’1”. On the women’s side, Kimber Shealy, Paige Shirley and Tawny Lambuth finished second, third and fourth, respectively, with matching marks of 12’1½” (final placements based on number of attempts).

AIR FORCE HAVE STRONG SHOWING AT DUALSHighlighted by six titles and 28 top-three finishes, Air Force tallied its best-ever finish at the Don Barrett Duals on Saturday, Jan. 29. The men combined for a 4-1 record (second), while the women tallied a 3-2 mark (third).

DID YOU KNOW?With his winning clearance of 17’0¾” at The Duals, Rob Simmons became just the 10th Air Force vaulter to clear the 17-foot bar during indoor competition.

GOING OUT WITH A BANGOn his final attempt of the Don Barrett Duals, Kyle Schwochow won the shot put with a career-best dis-tance of 55’9”. A personal improvement by two feet, Schwochow moved into fifth on the program’s all-time list. In addition, Zach Wood won the high jump in over-time, as the final three jumpers went into a tie-breaker to determine the final standings. Wood cleared a per-sonal-best height of 6’8¾” to claim the event title.

THROWING OUT SOME BIG NUMBERSIn addition to Kyle Schwochow’s career-best shot put distance of 55’9”, two other Falcons made improve-ments to the program’s all-time standings in the that event at the Don Barrett Duals. Robert Drye finished third in the meet and moved into seventh on the all-time list with a career-best distance of 55’2¾”, while Jackie Ahloo recorded a personal-best distance of 44’9” in the women’s shot put to finish third in the meet and move into fourth on the program’s all-time standings.

MOSBY BREAKS 30-YEAR-OLD USAFA RECORDMorgan Mosby set a new Academy record in the 1000-meter run at the adidas Classic. Clocking 2:54.62, Mosby easily broke Rita Burr’s time of 2:55.95 - a mark that had stood since 1981. Mosby’s record marked the sec-ond straight year that a long-standing program record has been broken at the adidias Classic, as Ally Romanko shattered the 28-year-old 600-meter record in 2010.

ROB SIMMONS DEBUTS IN TOP 10Rob Simmons debuted in the Academy’s pole vault re-cords, as he recorded the seventh-best clearance in pro-gram history on Jan. 22 with bar of 16’10¾”.

INDOOR TEAM SCORES

INDOOR SEASON HIGHLIGHTS


INDOOR SEASON HIGHLIGHTSMOVING ON UP THE ALL-TIME LISTSeveral Falcons moved up the women’s top-10 list at the adidas Classic on Jan. 22, highlighted by Paige Blackburn’s move into second in the shot put (47’11”). Regan Rogers made a huge leap up the all-time listings in the high jump, as she cleared 5’7” to move into a tie for fourth on the program’s top-10 list. Bethany Gross clocked the fifth-fastest time in program history (57.35) in the 400-meter dash, while Katherine Ward clocked a mile time of 4:58.77 to debut in 10th.

GOING THE DISTANCEJeremy Drenckhahn and Isaiah Bragg combined to win the two longest distances at the adidas Classic. Drenck-hahn clocked 8:24.44 to win the 3000-meter run, while Bragg won the 5000-meter run in 15:08.15. Air Force added top-three finishes in those events from Jon Rock (second, 3000) and Tyler Small (third, 5000).

CONTINUING TO CLIMBBethany Gross continued to climb up the top 10 stand-ings in the 200-meter dash at the Nebraska Wesleyan Invitational. In just her second collegiate indoor race, Gross clocked a time of 15.51 to improve her time by .04 and move into third on the Academy’s all-time list.

WHAT A START!Paige Shirley debuted in sixth (including ties) on the Academy’s top-10 list, as she cleared 12’1½” during competition at the NWU Invitational. Her distance, which matches the fifth-best jump in program history, was a personal improvement of nearly two feet. Shirley is the sixth member of the current women’s vaulting squad to rank among the program’s all-time greats.

COLLECTING A PAIR OF WINSTyler Stanley and Annette Eichenberger won their respective 1000-meter races at Nebraska Wesleyan on Jan. 21. Stanley won the men’s 1000-meter run in 2:29.77, while Eichenberger placed first in the women’s race with a time of 3:04.84.

CALE SIMMONS EARNS CONFERENCE AWARDCale Simmons claimed his first career Mountain West Conference Athlete of the Week award on Jan. 17, after winning the pole vault at the Air Force All-Comers Meet with a career-best equaling jump of 16’6¾”. Simmons paced the Falcons to the top two places in that event.

HIGH JUMP HAPPENINGSAir Force made three additions to the high jump top-10 list at the All-Comers Meet, thanks to impressive debut jumps from a trio of freshmen. Jamie Hart, Regan Rogers and Rachel Herald all cleared matching heights of 5’5”. It is just the second time since 2001 that any changes have taken place on the indoor high jump list.

STARTING OFF STRONGPaige Blackburn had a strong start to the season, win-ning the shot put and finishing first among collegiate competitors in the weight throw at the All-Comers Meet. Blackburn recorded a career 47’6¼” to win the shot put and claim the third-best throw in Academy history. She was also the top collegiate in the weight throw, collect-ing a mark of 51’7¼” to finish second overall.

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MOREPaige Blackburn wasn’t the only thrower to move up the top-10 list at the All-Comers Meet, as Jackie Ahloo posted a throw of 44’2” – the sixth-best throw in Acad-emy history – in her collegiate debut.

A NICE START TO THE SEASONKassie Gurnell made an immediate impact on the pro-gram’s top-10 list, as she debuted in fifth on the pro-gram’s all-time list with her first series of collegiate jumps. Gurnell recorded a distance of 37’9½” at the All-Comers Meet to finish third, marking the first addition to the triple jump’s top-10 list since 2007.

MAKING CHANGESThe women also earned top-10 times from Bethany Gross and Tawny Lambuth at the season-opening meet on Jan. 14. Gross, competing in her first indoor race, was the top collegiate in the 200-meter dash with a time of 25.55. That is the fourth-fastest time in program history. Lambuth finished the 60-meter dash in a time of 7.88. That time, which was third among collegiate runners, is tied for the eighth-best time in Academy history.

OFF TO A FAST STARTBryce Bergman, the top collegiate finisher (second over-all) in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.20, ran the lead leg of the mile relay team that finished first among collegiate teams. When the time was converted to a 4x400-meter time of 3:14.19, Bergman, Manny Smith, Anthony Delgado and Chris Severino posted the best season-opening time in over 22 years.

It marked the third time in less than a month that the hurdle’s record has been broken, including two improvements by Cotharn and one by classmate Rachel Thomas.

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESSConner Van Fossen and Cale Simmons guided their re-spective teammates to the top of the event standings. Tim Urista placed second (211’10”) to Van Fossen in the javelin, while Nate Bratka and Jon Santiago finished fourth (169’11”) and fifth (167’5”), respectively. Sim-mons won the pole vault, while Rob Simmons cleared the ninth-best clearance in Academy history (16’8¾”) to finish second and Elliott Beski finished third (15’2¼”).

Stanley ran the 800-meter split in a time of 1:49.9 and gave Walmsley the baton for the final 1600-meter leg, which he finished in a time of 4:06.3.

A QUICK HISTORY REVIEWThe Falcons’ 2011 distance medley quartet broke the 1994 time of 9:45.43 that had been held by Nick MacFalls, Paul Gomez, Jeff Kuzma and Eric Mack. The previous program mark, which had been the oldest non-championship relay record in Academy history, featured an impressive group of runners that included All-Amer-icans in Kuzma and Mack, and three runners that com-peted at the Olympic Trials as members of the WCAP.

DID YOU KNOW?Tyler Stanley has been a part of two record-setting dis-tance medley relay teams this season. The senior, who ran the 800-meter split on the Apr. 30 relay, ran the leadoff (1200-meter) leg of the DMR that set the pro-gram’s indoor record (9:32.06) in March and advanced to All-America status at the NCAA Championships.

GOING UPOn April 23, Zach Wood became the first high jumper since 1998 to crack the program’s top-10 list when he cleared the bar at 6’10¼” to win that event at the Jack Christiansen Invitational. He is now tied with Marcus Nichols (1996) for the eighth-best all-time clearance. With his career-best distance, Wood paced the Falcons to a sweep of the top-two finishes at the meet, as Travis Smith cleared a personal-best 6’6¼” to take second.

STILL CLIMBINGCale Simmons became just the eighth vaulter in Air Force Academy history to clear the 17-foot bar in an outdoor competition, as he won the Jack Christiansen Invitational with a clearance of 17’7¾”. Simmons, who improved his bar height by nearly one foot this season, moved into fourth on the program’s all-ti me list. Rob Simmons joined his twin brother on the program’s top-10 list, as he finished second with a career-best 16’8” to debut in 10th on the program’s all-time list.

MORE POLE VAULT POWERAt the JCI, Tawny Lambuth and Kimber Shealy cleared matching career-best marks of 12’10” to move into a tie for second on the program’s all-time list. Lambuth im-proved her overall height by four inches, while Shealy’s third-place finish was an improvement by a half inch.

WILD BLUE YONDERAir Force dominated the pole vault at CSU, taking the top three men’s spots, as well as four of the top five women’s spots. Behind the Cale and Rob Simmons’ re-spective career-best first- and second-place marks in the men’s field, Chase Cooper cleared a season-best 16’2” to take third. On the men’s side, Tawny Lambuth and Kimber Shealy finished second and third, respectively, while Melissa Beerse cleared a season-best 12’4” to place fourth and Bizzy Mellado finished fifth at 11’10”.

In addition to bettering the previous mark of 40’6¼” that had stood since 1985, Gurnell won the 18-competitor event. In California, Cotharn clocked a 400-meter hurdles time of 62.30 to break the program’s two-week-old record and place 10th in a field of 51.

DID YOU KNOW?In a two-week span, two Falcons (Rachel Thomas on Apr. 2; Emily Cotharn on Apr. 16) have broken the Acad-emy record in the 400-meter hurdles and displaced a mark that had stood for nine years. In fact, prior to the beginning of April, only one Falcon had even cracked the top five since the original record was set in 2002.

2011 Academy graduates Chris Severino (above) and Tyler Small (below) were the last Air Force track and fi eld athletes to claim academic all-con-ference honors all four years.


WORLD CLASS ATHLETE PROGRAM

Every Olympic cycle, the Air Force sponsors 20-30 athletes to train for a berth in the next Olympic Games. Athletes for this program must be of Olympic caliber: that is, the Nati onal Governing Body (NGB) must recognize the athletes chosen for the World Class Athlete Program (WCAP) as having a legiti mate chance at att aining an Olympic berth.

Athletes who meet the criteria are then placed in a special duty assignment preced-ing the Olympic Games. The initi ati on of this program was in 1995, modeled aft er the Army’s existi ng program. It was developed aft er seeing a decline in the amount of Armed Forces members achieving Internati onal athleti c prowess; specifi cally, the number of Olympic medals awarded to these members.

What does this mean for track and fi eld athletes? Simply put, high caliber athletes graduati ng from the Academy have a unique opportunity to conti nue training in their sport. Not only do they get the ti me to train the way an elite athlete needs to train, but they also get all of the support. A secti on of Air Force services called ‘AF Sports’ selects these athletes and takes care of all the equipment, training supplies and travel for the athletes. The athletes choose where they would like to train to get the best benefi t.

USAFA ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME

In 2007, the Air Force Academy announced the formati on of the Athleti c Hall of Fame.

CONFERENCE HISTORY


MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE

From its incepti on in 1999, the Mountain West has been committ ed to excellence in intercollegiate athleti cs, while promoti ng the academic missions of its member insti -tuti ons. Progressive in its approach, the MW conti nues to culti vate opportuniti es for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achieve-ment and sportsmanship. Now in its 13th year, the MW has been asserti ve in its in-volvement with the NCAA governance structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administrati on of intercollegiate athleti cs.

The Mountain West has marked several achievements over its fi rst 12 years of exis-tence, most notably becoming the fi rst to establish a sports television network dedi-cated solely to an intercollegiate athleti c conference (The Mtn.). The Mountain West also was the fi rst to experiment with the coaches’ challenge in the college football instant replay system, and was the fi rst non-automati c-qualifying BCS conference to parti cipate in four BCS bowl games, winning three. Additi onally, the Mountain West was the fi rst conference to have a member insti tuti on with No. 1 overall picks in both the NFL and NBA draft s in the same year (Utah’s Alex Smith and Andrew Bogut, re-specti vely in 2005). With San Diego State’s Stephen Strasburg claiming the No. 1 pick in the 2009 MLB Draft , the Mountain West is one of two conferences to have the No. 1 selecti on in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB draft s since the MW was founded in 1999. In 2011-12, the Mountain West will be among the fi rst conferences to implement a league-wide state-of-the art basketball instant replay system.

The Mountain West is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beauti ful terrain and landscapes in the nati on can be found within Mountain West boundaries, including the majesti c Rocky Mountain range, which borders three MW insti tuti ons (Air Force, newest member Boise State and Colorado State). The high plains of Wyo-ming (elevati on 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nati on) contrast with the desert city of Las Vegas (the fastest growing metropolitan area in the West) and the Pacifi c Ocean locale of San Diego State. The southwestern fl avor of New Mexico complements the western heritage and culture of Fort Worth, Texas, home of TCU.

HISTORYThe Mountain West was conceived on May 26, 1998, when the presidents of eight insti tuti ons — Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming — decided to form a new NCAA Division I-A intercollegiate athleti c conference. The split from a former 16-team conference re-established conti nuity and stability among the membership within the new league and signaled the conti nuati on of its traditi on-rich, long-standing athleti c rivalries. Three of the MW’s eight original members have been conference rivals since the 1960s (New Mexico, Wyoming and Colorado State), while San Diego State (1978) and Air Force (1980) were longti me members as well. UNLV and TCU entered the fold in 1996 and the Rebels conti nued as one of the original eight insti tuti ons that formed the MW in 1999. TCU re-joined the group with its fi rst year of competi ti on in the Mountain West in 2005-06. Eff ecti ve July 1, 2011, Boise State University became the newest member. California State Univer-sity, Fresno and the University of Nevada, Reno will join the Mountain West eff ecti ve July 1, 2012. Also on July 1, 2012, the University of Hawai‘i will become a football-only member of the Conference.

When the Mountain West offi cially began operati ons on July 1, 1999, the new league had in place a seven-year contract with ESPN, giving the broadcaster exclusive nati on-al television rights to MW football and men’s basketball, and three-year agreements to send the league’s football champion to the Liberty Bowl and a second team to the Las Vegas Bowl. Commissioner Craig Thompson also arranged a third bowl ti e-in each of the fi rst three seasons (1999 Motor City, 2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans) be-fore securing a four-year deal with the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco in 2002. Entering the 2011 season, the MW has four contracted bowl affi liati ons – the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas, San Diego Country Credit Union Poinsetti a Bowl, Advo-Care V100 Indepen-dence Bowl and Gildan New Mexico Bowl.

An innovator in the postseason bowl structure, the MW engineered many “fi rsts,” as league teams have parti cipated in fi ve inaugural bowl games (2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans, 2002 San Francisco (Emerald), 2005 Poinsetti a, 2006 New Mexico), as well as placing the fi rst non-automati c-qualifying BCS team into a BCS bowl game with Utah’s appearance in the 2005 Tosti tos Fiesta Bowl.

2010-11 IN REVIEWIn women’s basketball, BYU won the MW regular-season ti tle, while Utah captured the MW Tournament crown and earned the league’s automati c bid to the NCAA Tourna-ment. The league had four teams parti cipate in postseason acti on, as BYU, TCU and Wyoming advanced to the Women’s Nati onal Invitati on Tournament.

EXPOSUREThe Mountain West conti nues to receive unprecedented nati onal television exposure through a combinati on of telecasts on The Mtn., CBS Sports Network and VERSUS. In 2010-11, 47 football, 88 men’s basketball and 27 women’s basketball Conference controlled contests were broadcast nati onally.

On August 26, 2004, CBS Sports Network (formerly CSTV and CBS C) and the Moun-tain West announced a visionary partnership that revoluti onized the college sports landscape. The landmark agreement was the fi rst NCAA Division I football and men’s basketball conference-wide deal for CSTV and provided the network exclusive rights to all Conference events, including cable and satellite television coverage, nati onal over-the-air and satellite radio, video-on-demand and online broadcast rights.

In the summer of 2006, the centerpiece of this historic relati onship was realized with the launch of The Mtn. – MountainWest Sports Network, the fi rst sports network ded-icated to serving a single collegiate athleti c conference. Nearly 32,000 hours of MW programming have aired on The Mtn. since the network’s launch on Sept. 1, 2006, and nearly 300 MW events are shown live annually through a combinati on of telecasts on The Mtn., CBS Sports Network and VERSUS. CBS Sports Network is currently in 43 mil-lion homes, and available in 95 million nati onwide.

LT GEN MICHAEL C. GOULD, SUPERINTENDENT


HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY

In 1948, a board of leading civilian and military educa-tors was appointed to plan the curriculum for an acade-my that would meet the needs of the newly established Air Force. The board determined that Air Force require-ments could not be met by expanding the other service academies and recommended an Air Force Academy be established without delay.

In 1949, then Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Sym-ington appointed a commission to assist in selecti ng a site and on April 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhow-er authorized creation of the United States Air Force Academy. After considering 580 sites in 45 states, the commission narrowed the choice to three locations.

During the summer of 1954, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott selected a site near Colorado Springs, Colo. Colorado contributed $1 million toward purchase of the property.

In July 1955, the first Academy class entered interim fa-cilities at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while construc-tion began. It was sufficiently completed for occupancy by the cadet wing in late August 1958. Initial construc-tion cost was $142 million.

Women entered the Academy on June 28, 1976, as members of the class of 1980.

COURSES OF STUDY

Cadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that pro-vides the knowledge, skills and responsibilities essen-tial to a career Air Force officer. The entire USAFA ex-perience is integrated and mapped to achieve a set of desired outcomes in every graduate.

The core academic curriculum includes courses in basic sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities. Cadets take elective courses to complete requirements for one of 32 major areas of study. About 50 percent of the cadets complete majors in science and engineer-ing; the remainder graduate in the social sciences and humanities. Some of the most popular majors include management, aeronautical engineering, foreign area studies, history, behavioral science, civil engineering, astronautical engineering, electrical engineering and engineering mechanics.

The U.S. Air Force Academy offers a four-year program of instruction and experience designed to educate, train and inspire men and women to become officers of char-acter, motivated to lead the United States Air Force in service to our nation. Each cadet graduates with a bach-elor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Air Force.

FACULTY COMPOSITION

The majority of the Academy’s faculty members, more than 500 total, are Air Force officers. They are selected primarily from career-officer volunteers who have es-tablished outstanding records of performance and dedi-cation. Each has at least a master’s degree and more than 55 percent have doctorates or other terminal de-grees in their field of study.

About 30 percent of the faculty are civilians who bring great depth of disciplinary and educational expertise and provide academic stability and continuity.

Faculty members are intensely focused on cadet learn-ing as an integral part of their officer development. The Air Force Academy has been ranked No. 1 in the na-tion for the most accessible and involved faculty for four years in a row. To provide greater contributions by a diverse faculty, the Academy has several visiting professors and en-dowed professors who serve one or more years. Offi-cers from other services, as well as officers from allied countries are also members of the faculty. Distinguished civilian and military lecturers also share their expertise with the cadets.

ATHLETIC PROGRAMS

An air, space and cyberspace-oriented military educa-tion, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues throughout the four years. Seniors are responsible for the organizational leader-ship of the cadet wing, while juniors and sophomores seek to develop team and interpersonal leadership and instructional skills.

Cadets are projected into as many active leadership roles as possible to prepare them to be effective Air Force officers.

Fundamental concepts of military organization -- drill, ethics, honor, Air Force heritage and physical training -- are emphasized the first summer during basic cadet training. Freshmen study the military role in United States society, as well as the mission and organization of the Air Force. Sophomores receive instruction in com-munication skills and juniors study combat and opera-tional aspects of the Air Force.

The Academy offers courses in flying, navigation, soar-ing and parachuting, building from basic skills to instruc-tor duties. Some cadets may fly light aircraft with the Cadet Flying Team.

Summer training for cadets is divided into three, three-week training periods. There are a variety of programs available and each cadet is required to complete two training periods each summer with leave during the other period. All new cadets take six weeks of basic ca-det training in their first summer.

Combat survival training is a required three-week pro-gram during cadets’ second summer. For other second-summer training periods, cadets have options such as working with Airmen in an operational unit at an Air Force installation, airborne parachute training, soaring or basic free-fall parachute training.

During their last two summers, all cadets are offered leadership training as supervisors or instructors in the summer programs listed above.

Extracurricular activities also are an integral part of the education program. The cadet ski club, drum and bugle corps, cadet chorale and forensics are a few of the pro-grams available to Academy cadets.

NOMINATIONS

Nominations to the Academy may be obtained through a congressional sponsor or by meeting eligibility criteria in other categories of competition established by law.

For information on admission procedures, write to:HQ USAFA/RRS2304 Cadet Drive, Suite 200USAF Academy, CO 80840-5025.

The Academy’s athletic program is designed to improve physical fitness, teach athletic skills and develop leader-ship qualities. To achieve its goals, the Academy offers some of the most extensive physical education, intra-mural sports and intercollegiate athletic programs in the nation. Cadets take at least three different physical education courses each year.

MILITARY EDUCATION & TRAINING

THE ACADEMY EXPERIENCE


DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

Dr. Hans J. Mueh is in his eighth year as the di-rector of athletics at the Air Force Academy. A retired Air Force brigadier general, Mueh was vice dean of faculty for two years prior to his retirement from active duty in the summer of 2004. Mueh was heavily involved in Academy athletics before becoming director of athlet-ics. He was the Academy’s faculty athletics representative from 1996-2004 and was a long-time member of the board of directors for the Air Force Academy Athletics Associa-tion.

Since becoming the director of athletics, Mueh has led the Academy to some remark-able feats. In 2007, the Academy was one of

only three schools (Michigan State and Boston College) to reach post-season play in football (2007), men’s basketball and ice hockey (2006-07). It marked the first time a service academy has ever had a team compete in the post-season in all three sports.

In addition, under Mueh’s watch the men’s basketball team has played in an NCAA tournament and the National Invitational Tournament’s Final Four. The ice hockey team won three straight conference championships and made three straight appear-ances in the NCAA tournament. Mueh was on the selection committee that hired current head coach Frank Serratore and led the Academy’s move into the Athletic Hockey Association.

The football program, the Academy’s flagship sport, has gone through a major over-haul under Mueh. He led the transition from the retirement of the legendary Fisher DeBerry after 23 years at the helm to hiring current head coach Troy Calhoun, a 1989 Academy graduate. Calhoun’s impact was immediate, leading the Falcons to a 9-4 overall mark and a second-place finish in the Mountain West Conference in 2007. The Falcons qualified for their first bowl game in five years, playing in the Armed Forces Bowl in 2007. The program then posted back-to-back eight-win seasons and was 9-4 in 2010, while qualifying for bowl games every year. The school has averaged 9,000 bowl tickets sold during the four-year run.

Mueh has been just as successful behind the scenes with the administration of the department. Mueh restructured the department with an internal/external model that has streamlined resources and made the department more effective from top to bot-tom. In addition, he has the department on course to become a federally chartered non-profit organization which will lead to more fund-raising opportunities. Mueh was instrumental in the USAFA Endowment and the announcement of the Holaday Ath-letic Center, an indoor training facility. The $15 million facility was completed in 2011.

Mueh has also been active within the conference and the NCAA. He is a part of the NCAA Division I Amateurism Cabinet and has been active on the NCAA’s academics/eligibility compliance cabinet, the men’s golf committee and the Region 7 postgradu-ate scholarship committee. Mueh has been equally active within the conference on various leadership committees. He is currently on the awards and recognition com-mittee and has previously served on the joint council executive committee, and com-mittees on championships, television and sportsmanship.

Before assuming his duties as vice dean at the Academy, Mueh was permanent profes-sor and head of the department of chemistry at the Academy, a position he held since October 1987 where he oversaw the annual design and instruction of 25 undergradu-ate courses for 1,500 cadets annually.

Mueh was born Jan. 8, 1944, in Celle, Germany, and emigrated to the U.S. in 1951. He entered the Air Force in 1962, as a member of the Academy’s eighth graduating class, and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in chemistry in 1966.

While at the Academy, Mueh was a two-year letterwinner in soccer as a goalie. He still holds the Academy record for saves in a game with 30, accomplishing it twice in 1965 against North Carolina and Benedictine. In his junior and senior years, Mueh helped the Falcons to the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League championship and quarterfinal berth in the NCAA tournament. He was a first-team all-league selection.

Following graduation, Mueh completed two assignments in intelligence before at-tending the University of Wisconsin where he earned his master’s degree in chemistry in 1970. He later earned a doctorate degree in chemistry from Wisconsin in 1976 as a distinguished graduate. Mueh also completed Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College and Air War College.

Between earning the two degrees, Mueh returned to USAFA as an instructor in the department of chemistry from 1970-72. He also served as assistant soccer coach and played semi-pro soccer with the Aurora Internationals in Denver during those two years, leading the Internationals to the Colorado state title in 1971.

He volunteered for duty in Vietnam and served as an intelligence officer in Saigon, Republic of Vietnam and at Nakhon Phanom RTAB, Thailand, in 1972 and 1973.

After earning his doctorate degree, Mueh returned to the Academy in 1976 as an as-sociate professor of chemistry. He remained at the Academy except for a stint in 1985-86 as the special assistant for technical matters at the Defense Intelligence Agency at the Pentagon.

In 1986, he assumed the position of acting head, department of chemistry, before being selected for his position of permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry in 1987. As faculty athletics representative, he was active in both the Western Athletic Conference and Mountain West Conference, and was the Academy’s representative on the transition team to form the new MWC, the only faculty athletics representative on the team.

He competes in golf, racquetball, handball and tennis, and has promoted Air Force Academy intercollegiate sports throughout his tenure, beginning with work as chair-man of the hockey eligibility committee, officer representative to the men’s golf team and five years as the officer representative to the football team.

Mueh is married to the former Sally Flax of Cincinnati, Ohio. They have three children: Kristine, Kurt and Deborah.

At halftime of the Utah football game on Oct. 30, 2010, Dr. Mueh congratulated the men’s gymnastics team for winning the program’s first-ever USAG National Championship title.

DR. HANS J. MUEH, DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS


Few schools in the country have an athletic program as extensive as the Air Force Academy’s.

The goals of the athletic program are to enhance the physical conditioning of all cadets, to develop the physical skills necessary for officership, to teach leadership in a competitive environment and to build character. There are three subdivisions of the athletic program: intercollegiate athletics, intramurals and physical education.

The intercollegiate program has 17 men’s and 10 women’s NCAA-sanctioned teams, facing some of the top competition in the nation. Men’s teams are football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, cross-country, fenc-ing, golf, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, rifle, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo and wrestling. The Academy fields women’s teams in basketball, cross-country, fencing, gymnastics, rifle, indoor and outdoor track, swimming and diving, soccer, tennis and volleyball. In addition, the Acad-emy sponsors two non-NCAA programs; boxing and cheerleading.

The majority of the Academy’s men’s and women’s programs compete at the NCAA Division I level in the Mountain West Conference. The Falcons compete in this conference against teams from Boise State, Colo-rado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, TCU, UNLV and Wyoming. All sports also compete against non-conference opponents, including many nationally-ranked teams.

The football team competes annually for the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy, which is emblematic of service academy football supremacy. The Falcons have won the trophy 17 times, which is more than any other academy. The winner of the annual rivalry visits the White House to have the trophy presented by the President of the United States.

The USAFA Cadet Field House is one of the most impressive buildings in the country. It’s a modern, versatile structure with seemingly endless uses. The $5.6 million building is five stories high and 396 feet by 426 feet, the size of three football fields laid side by side. The structure is divided into three areas--basketball arena, ice hockey arena and multipurpose area. The three sections have a combined seating capacity of more than 9,000.

Clune Arena seats 5,858. The Cadet Ice Rink has a seating capacity of 2,470, while the multipurpose area seats 1,000 fans for track and field competitions.

The department’s newest facility, the Holaday Athletic Center, was completed in July 2011.

CADET FIELD HOUSE INDOOR TRACK

The Cadet Field House is considered one of the top athleti c faciliti es in the country. This multi –purpose facility, built in 1968, houses the indoor track, basketball arena, and ice hockey rink for intercollegiate sports. The indoor track area, which can seat 1,000 fans, is at the second-highest elevati on of any track in the nati on.

The track is a full-pour polyurethane surface of 268-meters (six laps/mile), with eight lanes on the straight-away and six lanes on the oval. Inside the oval is a FieldTurf surface that includes polyurethane runways for the pole vault, horizontal and high jumps, along with a throwing cage. The fi eld house is equipped with a full-size Daktronics scoreboard and message center along with event-specifi c AAE fi eld event scoreboards, and a FinishLynx computerized ti ming system.

In July 1997, the Academy’s Class of 1976 commissioned regional arti st Michael Esch to paint an eight panel canvas representi ng the life of an Academy cadet over four years. Each canvas is a 40-foot by 40- foot panel, painted in acrylic enamel that portrays the realism of Academy life since 1976. The panels hang on the north wall of the Field House indoor track and are a gift to the Athleti c Department.

Tom Weston is entering his 15th year as the meet announcer for the Air Force track and fi eld team. Weston, who reti red in 2010 aft er seven years as the principal at Liberty High School in Colorado Springs, also works with the athleti c department as the public address announcer for Falcon football and basketball games.

Aside from announcing all Air Force track and fi eld meets, Weston has been the announcer for the last 14 conference indoor championship meets, as well as the last 11 outdoor champion-

ship meets. He has also announced the Colorado High School Acti viti es Asso-ciati on (CHSAA) 4A and 5A Track and Field Championships and the 4A and 5A Cross Country Championships.

In additi on, Weston is the announcer for the Mountain West Conference Basketball Tournament. He has held that positi on for the past nine years. He was the announcer at the 2004 and 2008 NCAA Men’s Basketball First Round games in Denver and will serve as the announcer for the NCAA Women’s Bas-ketball Final Four in March 2012.

MEET ANNOUNCER TOM WESTEN


Aft er a year of renovati on and constructi on, the $4.1-million Cadet Outdoor Track and Field Complex was completed in August 2011. The project included a complete renovati on of the facility and a relocati on of the track’s radius points, shift ing the oval slightly to the north and west, while abutti ng up against the hillside terrace on the west side. The common fi nish line was moved to the northeast corner in an eff ort to take advantage of the predominantly south and southwest winds in April-June. The move of the fi nish line also allows the 3,500 bleachers on the east side of the track to have a spectacular views of the Front Range.

The Falcons’ new facility features 100,000-square feet of surface installati on. The track oval, D-zones and jump aprons are a brilliant combinati on of “Berlin Blue” and Grey colored surface. The syntheti c surface is a “full-pour” polyurethane syntheti c, with a light encapsulati on top spraycoat of polyurethane to help resist weathering and discoloring due to high UV penetrati on at this alti tude. The oval features eight 48-inch lanes and the widest single radius allowable by the IAAF (36.50 meters, 119’6”). There is an inside steeplechase water jump on the southwest curve and a secondary fi nish line in the southeast corner for the 100- and 200-meter dashes, as well as the 100- and 110-meter hurdles to take advantage of alternate winds from the north.

For the fi eld events, there are two complete D-zones at each end of the infi eld. The facility boasts dual parallel long jump/triple jump runways on the homestretch side of the complex, with pits at each end, allowing for competi ti on capability from either the north-south or south-north directi ons. There are full-length javelin runways in each D-zone so that the throwers may work with the prevailing winds. There is a discus throw ring and cage on the north side, as well as a combinati on discus throw/hammer throw cage and rings on the south end to provide the best advantage with wind.

There are also dual pole vault runways on the backstretch, allowing for boxes and pits in both the north-south and south-north directi ons. In additi on, there are two additi onal runways on the north D-zone, allow-ing vaulters to jump in a west-east directi on. The prominent pole vault area abuts against a hillside terrace, allowing spectators to sit on the grassy slope in a casual, picnic-style atmosphere. The high jump will be lo-cated in the north D-zone, with the capability of an approach of more than 80 feet in any of four directi ons.

The renovati on cost included $225,000 of in-ground equipment, including cages, rings, toeboards, sand pit forms, vault boxes, pit platf orms, communicati on boxes and curbing. It also included $175,000 of external equipment, including landing pads, standards, hurdles, starti ng blocks, ti ming and measuring equipment, covered competi tor benches, performance display boards, lane markers and implement carts.

In additi on to the improvements to the track itself, several additi onal ameniti es were added to the com-plex. A new “Meet Operati ons” building was built along the northeast corner of the track, even with the fi nish line, that will be used exclusively for computerized photo-ti ming and scoring. The former meet oper-ati ons building was remodeled to include a press area with data ports and viewing windows on the second level, along with a new team lounge with multi -media capabiliti es. The lower level will remain designated for storage. An area for sports medicine will be located outside the multi -purpose building during meets.

TRACK AND FIELD MISSION PARTNER INITIATIVE

CADET WING OPEN INTRAMURAL TRACK AND FIELD MEET

To celebrate the completi on of the new Cadet Outdoor Track and Field Complex, the Falcons hosted the fi rst an-nual Cadet Wing Open Intramural Track and Field Meet in late August. The cadet-only competi ti on featured sprints, hurdles, relays, throws and jumps. Cadet Squadron 31 (the Grim Reapers) won the inaugural Wing Open Cup.

In the fall of 2011, the Air Force track and fi eld team parti cipated in two Mission Partner Initi ati ve events, as the three elements of the Academy life – military, academics and athleti cs –came together for dinners hosted by Brig Gen Richard Clark, the Academy’s Commandant of Cadets, and his family.

The men’s track and fi eld team (athleti cs) was joined at Oti s House on Oct. 12 by members of Cadet Squadron 15 (military) and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, while the women’s team (athleti cs), CS- 14 (military) and the Department of Philosophy (academics) held their Mission Partner Initi ati ve event on Nov. 9. Both Initi ati ve events included an “Autumn Celebrati on”-themed dinner, followed socializing and team-building acti viti es, such as video games and pool.

“This is one of the fi nest initi ati ves that has come down from the Commandant in my 23 years at USAFA,” head coach Ralph Lindeman said. “Everyone has embraced the ‘Mission Partner’ concept and thoroughly enjoyed connecti ng with our partner squadrons and academic majors.”

MW OUTDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

The Air Force track and fi eld team will host the 2012 Mountain West Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Wednesday-Saturday (May 9-12) at the Cadet Out-door Track and Field Complex.

Ticket informati on and a complete meet schedule will be released on the conference website (www.TheMWC.com), as well as www.GoAirForceFalcons.com.
