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 competitive men s and women s track and field teams which annually contend for the Mountain West Conference title; insisting on a total commitment to academic and military goals; unwavering compliance with institutional, conference and NCAA guidelines, whose trademarks are an image of complete class and unquestioned integrity. Our strategy and tactics 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 committed to excellence in athletics with this 2012 Media Guide. Our traditions, our coaching staff, our facilities, our schedule and the administrative and financial support we receive are among the best in NCAA Division I athletics. We hope you will recognize that the Air Force Academy is characterized not only by its athletic achievements, but also by its sound foundation of academic leadership and character development. The motto -- Integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do -- is truly believed in by each member of our administration, team, and coaching staff. Under the leadership of our athletic department personnel, the future for this program continues to be promising. Their vision, understanding and dedication 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 exciting season of Air Force Track and Field and we express our appreciation to the Falcons many friends, students and alumni for your support. Together, we are a part of the great Air Force tradition and each of us plays an important role in the future success of the Air Force Academy Track and Field program. Sincerely, Ralph Lindeman Air Force Track and Field Coach 2 AIR FORCE TRACK & FIELD MEDIA GUIDE

HEAD COACH RALPH LINDEMAN RALPH LINDEMAN Head Coach Combined Events 23rd Season Arizona State (1973) Arizona State (1976) Ralph Lindeman, a nine-time conference coach of the year, is beginning his 23rd season 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 distinctions 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 positions. 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. 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 University of Arizona for giving him his first opportunities at the university level and teaching 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 Conference. He remained with the 49ers until his appointment at Air Force. 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 Committee 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 inspired 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. 8 AIR FORCE TRACK & FIELD MEDIA GUIDE

HEAD COACH RALPH LINDEMAN 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 Championships. 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-toback 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.

HEAD COACH RALPH LINDEMAN GETTING TO KNOW COACH LINDEMAN What is the Lindeman Philosophy? I don t think my position is just coaching the men s and women s track teams. My responsibility is to provide leadership for the entire program - that means not only ensuring athletic success, but success in the other mission elements as well. I ve always thought of myself first 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 field technique and training to character development and leadership. Who do you look to as a mentor? I get much of my inspiration and motivation 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 thoughtful person I ve ever been around. She challenges me to be the same - in fact, I guess I have to say that she is my mentor in addition to being my best friend.

Hayward Field, University of Oregon (Eugene, Ore.) Favorite Professional Sports Team...Colorado Rockies 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 priorities than athletics, but who are just as committed to excellence as any other highly successful competitors. What do you expect from YOUR athletes? I expect them to be committed to excellence, which means always striving to develop, 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 competitive men s and women s track and field and cross country teams which annually contend for the conference title, while insisting on a total commitment to academic and military goals, unwavering compliance with institutional and NCAA guidelines; and whose trademarks are an image of complete class and unquestioned integrity. What do you look for when recruiting athletes? The first task is to identify high school juniors and seniors who can run fast, jump high and throw far. Then, we screen the candidates for their academic credentials, character and citizenship. Finally, our challenge is to sell the prospects on a service academy education 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 potential. This would include the 2004 men s team which went into the final 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 time, that was the closest any team had come to BYU in six years - that was exciting! And I will never forget the 1991 cross country team that won the Air Force Academy s first-ever WAC Championship and then placed 14th in the NCAA Championships. I love scoring meets, particularly conference championship meets. They re all memorable when I can look back and identify both individual and team successes.

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH SCOTT IRVING SCOTT IRVING Associate Head Coach Throws 13th Season Willamette (1973) Northwestern (1977) Oregon (1979) 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 throwing 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 records have been rewritten countless times in every field event. In addition, the throwers 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. 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 Assistant 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. 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 qualifiers 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. WWW.GOAIRFORCEFALCONS.COM 11

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH SCOTT IRVING Irving s bio continued... Records by Irving s javelin throwers still stand in five programs where he has coached (Atlantic Coast Conference, 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 throwers. 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.

ASSISTANT COACH JULI BENSON JULI BENSON Assistant Coach Distances, Middle Distances Fourth Season James Madison (1992) James Madison (1996) 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 second 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 instrumental in improving the placement of the men s cross country team at the Colonial Athletic Association Championships 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 performance in the 1500-meter run at the 2004 NCAA Championships.

INDOOR SEASON HIGHLIGHTS TYNER CLAIMS ALL-AMERICA HONORS Justin Tyner garnered first-team All-America status following a fifth-place finish in the 3000-meter run at the 2011 NCAA Indoor Championships on March 12. He became 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 FIRST The distance medley relay quartet of Tyler Stanley, Anthony 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 DMR With a combined time of 9:32.06, the distance medley 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 QUALIFIER Cale Simmons was the top collegiate finisher in the pole vault and finished second overall at the Alex Wilson Invitational, 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 seventh in the 5000-meter run with a time of 14:11.28. LINDEMAN NAMED MWC COACH OF THE YEAR Ralph Lindeman was selected by his peers as the Mountain West Conference Indoor Coach of the Year, following 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 AWARD Backed 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 SELECTIONS Seven individuals and one relay team earned all-conference distinction, based on their top-three MWC finishes. The nine men s medalists are the most since 2008 and the second-most since 2004. The Falcons all-conference 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 MEET Backed 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 TITLES In 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 winning 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 END Manny 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-meter 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 S Justin Tyner, Jim Walmsley and Jeremy Drenckhahn accounted 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, respectively, 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 championships, before Tyner claimed the 2010 medal and defended 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 BAD Justin Tyner and Jim Walmsley finished first and second, respectively, in the 5000-meter run at the MWC Championships, while Noah Palicia (second) and Michael 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 UP In the event finals of the 200-meter dash, Anthony Delgado recorded the eighth-fastest time in Academy history (21.77) to finish fourth. Cale Simmons moved up to fifth in the pole vault record book, recording a careerbest clearance of 17 3¾. Noah Palicia and Michael Tibbs both recorded career-best highs in the heptathlon to move into second (5352) and sixth (5014), respectively, 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, altitude adjusted) fastest times in program history. SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST Michael 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 bettering his overall score by more than 150 points, Tibbs now owns both the Freshman and Sophomore Class Records. MAKING CHANGES Katherine 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 debuted 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 AWARD Cale Simmons claimed his second MWC Men s Athlete of the Week award on Feb. 22, after posting the fifthbest pole vault clearance in Academy history (17 2¾ ) to win the Robert Shine Invitational. THERE S SOMETHING S IN THE AIR Just 12 Falcons have cleared the 17-foot bar in the history 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.

A QUICK HISTORY REVIEW The 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 nonchampionship relay record in Academy history, featured an impressive group of runners that included All-Americans in Kuzma and Mack, and three runners that competed at the Olympic Trials as members of the WCAP. DID YOU KNOW? Tyler Stanley has been a part of two record-setting distance 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 program s indoor record (9:32.06) in March and advanced to All-America status at the NCAA Championships. GOING UP On 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 CLIMBING Cale 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 POWER At 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 improved her overall height by four inches, while Shealy s third-place finish was an improvement by a half inch. WILD BLUE YONDER Air 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 respective 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. THE RECORD BOOK RUNDOWN Regan Rogers matched her career-best high jump clearance of 5 6 the third-best clearance in program history while Paige Blackburn improved her third-place standing on the all-time shot put list with a career-best toss of 48 0. The 4x400-meter relay quartet of Rachel Thomas, Bethany Gross, Emily Cotharn and Morgan Mosby also recorded the fifth-fastest time in program history (3:52.66) to win their race. MORE RECORD BOOK REWRITES Sean Herbison debuted in sixth on the all-time shot put list, as he recorded a career-best 54 6 at the JCI. CAUTION, FALLING RECORDS Kassie Gurnell and Emily Cotharn made history on April 16, as they broke Academy records. Competing at the CSU-Pueblo Invitational, Kassie Gurnell broke the program s 26-year-old triple jump record with a distance of 40 8¾. 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 Academy 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. A LITTLE CLOSER TO HOME With five first-place finishes and a 44-point advantage, the men s team easily won the 13-team CSU Pueblo Invitational. Matt Jones (400-meter hurdles), Matt Caldwell (800-meter run), Elliott Beski (pole vault), Tim Urista (javelin throw) and the 4x400- meter relay team of Jones, Bryce Bergman, Michael Craig and David Ptacek claimed first-place finishes to lead the Falcons. WOMEN FINISH FOURTH The women collected first-place finishes from Kassie Gurnell (triple jump) and Bizzy Mellado (pole vault) at CSU-Pueblo to finish fourth in the 14-team meet.

The three current Falcons are now linked with former standout Eric Mack, who had held the distinction outright since 1996. HOW BOUT SOME HISTORY? Katherine Ward and Jeremy Drenckhahn have impacted the program s top-five times of the 5000-meter race during the same meet twice this season.

OTHER HONORS AND AWARDS 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 National Governing Body (NGB) must recognize the athletes chosen for the World Class Athlete Program (WCAP) as having a legitimate chance at attaining an Olympic berth. USAFA ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME In 2007, the Air Force Academy announced the formation of the Athletic Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame honors the Academy s former intercollegiate athletes for achievements and contributions to the intercollegiate team program during their cadet career and their achievements as leaders of character for the Air Force, the Department of Defense, and the nation upon commissioning. Former athletic administrators of the intercollegiate program, coaches and support staff may also be honored for extraordinary achievements. Inductees into the Athletic Hall of Fame will be honored with a plaque on the Walk of Honor, which is located on the fourth floor of the Falcon Athletic Center. Class of 2007... Alonzo Babers (1983) Class of 2009... Callie Calhoun (1991) Class of 2011... Gail Conway (1984) Athletes who meet the criteria are then placed in a special duty assignment preceding the Olympic Games. The initiation of this program was in 1995, modeled after the Army s existing program. It was developed after seeing a decline in the amount of Armed Forces members achieving International athletic prowess; specifically, the number of Olympic medals awarded to these members. What does this mean for track and field athletes? Simply put, high caliber athletes graduating from the Academy have a unique opportunity to continue 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 section 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 benefit. PRE-ATLANTA GAMES 1994-96... Jeff Kuzma, Distance... Doug Sersun, Distance PRE-SYDNEY GAMES 1998-00...

MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE When the Mountain West officially began operations on July 1, 1999, the new league had in place a seven-year contract with ESPN, giving the broadcaster exclusive national 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 tie-in each of the first three seasons (1999 Motor City, 2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans) before securing a four-year deal with the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco in 2002. Entering the 2011 season, the MW has four contracted bowl affiliations the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas, San Diego Country Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, Advo-Care V100 Independence Bowl and Gildan New Mexico Bowl. An innovator in the postseason bowl structure, the MW engineered many firsts, as league teams have participated in five inaugural bowl games (2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans, 2002 San Francisco (Emerald), 2005 Poinsettia, 2006 New Mexico), as well as placing the first non-automatic-qualifying BCS team into a BCS bowl game with Utah s appearance in the 2005 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. 2010-11 IN REVIEW In women s basketball, BYU won the MW regular-season title, while Utah captured the MW Tournament crown and earned the league s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The league had four teams participate in postseason action, as BYU, TCU and Wyoming advanced to the Women s National Invitation Tournament. From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. Now in its 13th year, the MW has been assertive in its involvement with the NCAA governance structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administration of intercollegiate athletics. The Mountain West has marked several achievements over its first 12 years of existence, most notably becoming the first to establish a sports television network dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference (The Mtn.). The Mountain West also was the first to experiment with the coaches challenge in the college football instant replay system, and was the first non-automatic-qualifying BCS conference to participate in four BCS bowl games, winning three. Additionally, the Mountain West was the first conference to have a member institution with No. 1 overall picks in both the NFL and NBA draft s in the same year (Utah s Alex Smith and Andrew Bogut, respectively 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 selection 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 first 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 beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders three MW institutions (Air Force, newest member Boise State and Colorado State). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert city of Las Vegas (the fastest growing metropolitan area in the West) and the Pacific Ocean locale of San Diego State. The southwestern flavor of New Mexico complements the western heritage and culture of Fort Worth, Texas, home of TCU. HISTORY The Mountain West was conceived on May 26, 1998, when the presidents of eight institutions Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming decided to form a new NCAA Division I-A intercollegiate athletic conference. The split from a former 16-team conference re-established continuity and stability among the membership within the new league and signaled the continuation of its tradition-rich, long-standing athletic 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 longtime members as well. UNLV and TCU entered the fold in 1996 and the Rebels continued as one of the original eight institutions that formed the MW in 1999. TCU re-joined the group with its first year of competition in the Mountain West in 2005-06. Effective July 1, 2011, Boise State University became the newest member. California State University, Fresno and the University of Nevada, Reno will join the Mountain West effective July 1, 2012. Also on July 1, 2012, the University of Hawai i will become a football-only member of the Conference. EXPOSURE The Mountain West continues to receive unprecedented national television exposure through a combination 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 nationally. On August 26, 2004, CBS Sports Network (formerly CSTV and CBS C) and the Mountain West announced a visionary partnership that revolutionized the college sports landscape. The landmark agreement was the first 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, national overthe-air and satellite radio, video-on-demand and online broadcast rights. In the summer of 2006, the centerpiece of this historic relationship was realized with the launch of The Mtn. MountainWest Sports Network, the first sports network dedicated to serving a single collegiate athletic 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 combination of telecasts on The Mtn., CBS Sports Network and VERSUS. CBS Sports Network is currently in 43 million homes, and available in 95 million nationwide. VERSUS is in 75 million households across the U.S. MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE Commissioner...

THE ACADEMY EXPERIENCE 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 character, motivated to lead the United States Air Force in service to our nation. Each cadet graduates with a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Air Force. COURSES OF STUDY Cadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that provides the knowledge, skills and responsibilities essential to a career Air Force officer. The entire USAFA experience 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 engineering; 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. 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 established outstanding records of performance and dedication. Each has at least a master s degree and more than 55 percent have doctorates or other terminal degrees 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 learning as an integral part of their officer development. The Air Force Academy has been ranked No. 1 in the nation 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 endowed professors who serve one or more years. Officers 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 The Academy s athletic program is designed to improve physical fitness, teach athletic skills and develop leadership qualities. To achieve its goals, the Academy offers some of the most extensive physical education, intramural sports and intercollegiate athletic programs in the nation. Cadets take at least three different physical education courses each year. MILITARY EDUCATION & TRAINING An air, space and cyberspace-oriented military education, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues throughout the four years. Seniors are responsible for the organizational leadership 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 communication skills and juniors study combat and operational aspects of the Air Force. The Academy offers courses in flying, navigation, soaring and parachuting, building from basic skills to instructor duties. Some cadets may fly light aircraft with the Cadet Flying Team. Summer training for cadets is divided into three, threeweek 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 cadet training in their first summer. Combat survival training is a required three-week program during cadets second summer. For other secondsummer 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 programs 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/RRS 2304 Cadet Drive, Suite 200 USAF Academy, CO 80840-5025. HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY In 1948, a board of leading civilian and military educators was appointed to plan the curriculum for an academy that would meet the needs of the newly established Air Force. The board determined that Air Force requirements 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 Symington appointed a commission to assist in selecting a site and on April 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower 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 facilities at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while construction began. It was sufficiently completed for occupancy by the cadet wing in late August 1958. Initial construction cost was $142 million. Women entered the Academy on June 28, 1976, as members of the class of 1980. WWW.GOAIRFORCEFALCONS.COM 127

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS DR. HANS J. MUEH, DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Dr. Hans J. Mueh is in his eighth year as the director 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 athletics. 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 Association. Since becoming the director of athletics, Mueh has led the Academy to some remarkable 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 appearances 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 overhaul 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. Following graduation, Mueh completed two assignments in intelligence before attending 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 associate 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 chairman 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. 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 bottom. 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 Athletic 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 postgraduate scholarship committee. Mueh has been equally active within the conference on various leadership committees. He is currently on the awards and recognition committee and has previously served on the joint council executive committee, and committees on championships, television and sportsmanship. Before assuming his duties as vice dean at the Academy, Mueh was permanent professor 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 undergraduate 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. 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. 128 AIR FORCE TRACK & FIELD MEDIA GUIDE

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, fencing, 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 Academy 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, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, TCU, UNLV and Wyoming. All sports also compete against nonconference 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. KAREN WARNER Associate AD Human Resources WWW.GOAIRFORCEFALCONS.COM 129

CADET FIELD HOUSE INDOOR TRACK CADET FIELD HOUSE INDOOR TRACK The Cadet Field House is considered one of the top athletic facilities 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 elevation of any track in the nation. The track is a full-pour polyurethane surface of 268-meters (six laps/mile), with eight lanes on the straightaway 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 field house is equipped with a full-size Daktronics scoreboard and message center along with event-specific AAE field event scoreboards, and a FinishLynx computerized timing system. In July 1997, the Academy s Class of 1976 commissioned regional artist Michael Esch to paint an eight panel canvas representing 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 Athletic Department.

CADET OUTDOOR TRACK AND FIELD COMPLEX CADET OUTDOOR TRACK AND FIELD COMPLEX After a year of renovation and construction, the $4.1-million Cadet Outdoor Track and Field Complex was completed in August 2011. The project included a complete renovation of the facility and a relocation of the track s radius points, shifting the oval slightly to the north and west, while abutting up against the hillside terrace on the west side. The common finish line was moved to the northeast corner in an effort to take advantage of the predominantly south and southwest winds in April-June. The move of the finish 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 installation. The track oval, D-zones and jump aprons are a brilliant combination of Berlin Blue and Grey colored surface. The synthetic surface is a full-pour polyurethane synthetic, with a light encapsulation top spraycoat of polyurethane to help resist weathering and discoloring due to high UV penetration at this altitude. 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 finish 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. FACILITY FACTS & FIGURES 100,000 square feet of synthetic surface 8x48-inch lanes Four long/triple jump pits; two long/triple jump runways Four pole vault runways; six pole vault box positions Four high jump baselines (ability to jump in any of 4 directions) Two throwing cages, with rings Two shot put rings Two javelin runways 2,000 linear feet of protective fencing 3,500-capacity seating, plus 34 wheelchair accessible seats $4.1-million, including $400,000 of new equipment Elevation is 6,980 feet For the field events, there are two complete D-zones at each end of the infield. The facility boasts dual parallel long jump/triple jump runways on the homestretch side of the complex, with pits at each end, allowing for competition capability from either the north-south or south-north directions. There are fulllength 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 combination 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 northsouth and south-north directions. In addition, there are two additional runways on the north D-zone, allowing vaulters to jump in a west-east direction. 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 located in the north D-zone, with the capability of an approach of more than 80 feet in any of four directions. The renovation cost included $225,000 of in-ground equipment, including cages, rings, toeboards, sand pit forms, vault boxes, pit platforms, communication boxes and curbing. It also included $175,000 of external equipment, including landing pads, standards, hurdles, starting blocks, timing and measuring equipment, covered competitor benches, performance display boards, lane markers and implement carts. In addition to the improvements to the track itself, several additional amenities were added to the complex. A new Meet Operations building was built along the northeast corner of the track, even with the finish line, that will be used exclusively for computerized photo-timing and scoring. The former meet operations 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 capabilities. The lower level will remain designated for storage. An area for sports medicine will be located outside the multi-purpose building during meets. WWW.GOAIRFORCEFALCONS.COM 131
