2 Air Force Track and Field 2169 Field House Dr. USAF Academy,CO Dear Friends of Air Force Track and Field, As we enter the 2004 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 are 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 in this 2004 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 Head Coach

3 HEAD COACH RALPH LINDEMAN The Ralph Lindeman Resume Date of Birth: April 18, 1951 High School: Phoenix Christian HS, Phoenix, Ariz., 1969 College: BS in Physical Education, Arizona State University, 1973 and MS in Exercise Science, Arizona State University, PRESENT - Head men s and women s track coach, Air Force Academy. Head cross country coach, Air Force Academy ( ) Head men s and women s track/cross country coach, Long Beach State University Assistant men s and women s track coach (sprints, hurdles, jumps), University of Arizona Assistant men s track coach (field events), Arizona State University Head boy s track coach and head cross country coach, Westwood High School (Mesa, Ariz.) Head cross country coach, head track coach, Glendale High School (Glendale, Ariz.) Assistant track coach and assistant football coach, Carl Hayden High School (Phoenix, Ariz.) Q&A With Coach Lindeman Ralph Lindeman is entering his 15th season as the head coach of the Air Force Academy s track and field program. Lindeman is well known throughout the track and field community and holds many distinctions from his long involvement with both the Olympic sport and the Academy's athletic program. What is the Lindeman Philosophy? 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. "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." How did he get started in the sport? Lindeman's involvement with track and field stems as far back as his youth, when he attended Phoenix Christian Grade School and High School in Phoenix, Ariz. "My seventh grade P.E. teacher took our class to a track meet between Arizona State and New Mexico. I saw a great dual meet as well as an incredible 400-meter race between Ulis Williams of ASU and Adolph Plummer of New Mexico I loved it! The next week was my birthday, and when my parents asked what special thing we could do for my birthday, I told them all I wanted to do was to go to another ASU track meet, so we did! That got me hooked." Where did his inspiration come from? From the very first day he stepped onto the track at the Air Force Academy in 1989, the Falcons teams have benefited from Lindeman's leadership and his love of coaching. Due to the mentoring that the 52-year old coach received from the beginning, first from his seventh grade P.E. teacher, who took him to his first ASU track meet and then from his high school track coach, who according to Lindeman, "unknowingly inspired me to pursue coaching." Lindeman's career began at Glendale High as an assistant coach under Ken France, a legend in the Arizona coaching ranks. Lindeman credits Dave Murray at the University of Arizona for giving him his first full-time job at the collegiate level and teaching him a lot about college coaching. Ralph Lindeman Now, I get much of my inspiration and motivation from my peers - like Mark Stanforth of our own staff, or rivals like Ron Mann at Northern Arizona, Bob Fraley at Fresno State or John McNichols at Indiana State - I respect these guys and value their opinions." Lindeman takes his coaching experience and responsibilities very seriously and now it is his turn to be a mentor to the cadets he trains. "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 a teacher now who spends up to three hours every day with the cadet-athletes I work with. I like to think I mentor those cadetathletes in everything I teach from track and field technique and training to character development and leadership." What about Lindeman's priorities? Lindeman credits his mentors and his staff for his evolution in the sport. However, he also credits his wife, Cindy, for having an effect on himself as a person and as coach. "My faith and my family are my top priorities in life, so quite obviously they affect my coaching. Cindy, my wife of 32 years, is the kindest and most loving and thoughtful person I've ever been around, and so, 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." 3

COACHING HERO: Tom Osborne - former football coach at Nebraska IF HE WASN'T COACHING, HE'D BE: A fly-fishing guide Lindeman and his wife, Cindy What does Lindeman love about being a coach at the Air Force Academy? "I love the caliber of the young men and young women that I get to work with - wellrounded individuals who have higher priorities than athletics, but who are just as committed to excellence as any other highly successful competitors." Lindeman's daughter, Jennifer Rowedder, is a graduate of Arizona State. The former primary grade school teacher now tutors elementary children. Her husband, Brian, is also an ASU graduate and works at Ent Federal Credit Union. Jennifer and Brian have two children, Maddison and Brock. Lindeman's son, Brian, is a firefighter in Parker, Colo., and a former Colorado high school state champion in the pole vault. He is married to Heather Dunavin, a neo-natal nurse at University Hospital in Denver. What are his passions? Lindeman's passion for the sport and profession overflows into an involvement with both USA Track and Field and with the U.S. Track Coaches Association. "I have a passion for the coaching profession and a real love of this sport; so my involvement in those organizations is with the dual objective of having a significance in the profession and the sport. I trust that any improvements I can help affect for collegiate track and field will have a positive spin-off for the Air Force program." In 1999, Lindeman served as the men's head coach for the USA team at the Pan- American Games and in 2001 at the World University Games. "It was obviously an honor. I hope it was also an honor for our staff, our cadet-athletes and for the Air Force Academy." Throughout the years, Lindeman has developed a vision statement, which has helped the program to evolve into a highly competitive sport. The vision statement is simple yet precise: "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 are Lindeman s most memorable coaching experiences? "The most memorable experiences are of the teams that achieved way beyond their potential. Also, our consecutive runner-up finishes in the MWC outdoor meets in 1999 and 2000 were tremendously rewarding. 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. 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!" 4 What does he expect from his athletes? I expect them to be committed to excellence, which means always striving to develop, progress and show steady improvement of their performances in their events over the course of the year and throughout their four years in our program. What does the coach look for when recruiting athletes for his teams? "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 United States Air Force." What are Lindeman's expectations for the 2004 men s and women s teams? "The goal of the men's teams will continue to be challenging BYU for the conference title. I'd be thrilled if we can achieve that. Colorado State will again be a formidable foe to challenge us for second. I'd be very pleased if our women's team can again finish sixth in the eight-team conference. I believe that we may have our best women's team ever - much better than some of those Division II teams of past years, which placed in the Top-10 at the NCAA Championships. This conference is extremely challenging for our women - BYU, Colorado State and SDSU could all be among the top 25 teams in the country."

6 COACHING STAFF MARK STANFORTH ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH Distance Events Mark Stanforth is in his 12th season as the coach of the distance runners. He also serves as head coach of the men's and women's cross country teams. Since 1992, Stanforth has expected consistency from his distance runners, and his expectations have brought the results needed to be competitive in the Mountain West Conference and at the NCAA Division-I level. The 2003 men's cross country team became the first squad other than BYU to claim the conference title, winning the MWC Championship. The 2003 season concluded with an eighth-place finish at the NCAA Championships for the team s highest national finish since The women's cross country team proved that under Stanforth's coaching, it could be competitive at the Division-I level. In the fall of 2003, the team earned its fifth straight top three MWC finish, which is the highest team finish the women's program has had since joining a conference in Since 1992, Stanforth has coached his men's cross country teams to 11 consecutive top three finishes in the WAC and MWC. His 1994 and 1996 teams were the WAC champions and the 2003 team won the program's first MWC title. His peers have honored Stanforth as both the WAC and MWC Coach of the Year on four different occasions. The WAC honored him as the league's top coach in 1994 and again in He claimed his first Mountain West coaching award in 1999 and repeated that honor in 2003, after winning the conference title. While in the WAC, Stanforth was the only Air Force coach to lead a Falcon team to two outright WAC titles in any sport, and accomplished the impressive feat of qualifying a team for the national championships in each of his first four years as head coach (women's cross country). Under Stanforth's leadership, the Falcons have garnered six cross country All-Americans, 11 track and field All-Americans, four NCAA Division II women's national championship appearances, two men's cross country WAC championships, one men's MWC championship, three men's national all-academic teams and three women s national all-academic team. Before joining the Academy for the 1992 season, Stanforth served as the head coach for the men's and women's cross country and track programs for five years at the University of California-San Diego. Thirty-seven athletes earned All-America status while he was at UCSD. Before those years, the Tritons had never had a track and field All-American. Needless to say, both programs gained national recognition for their efforts. Stanforth's UCSD women's track team finished in the top six at the NCAA Division III Championships for four straight years, while both cross country teams finished in the top 12 nationally twice in a three-year period. In 1992, UCSD was one of only two institutions to have all four teams (men and women's track, men and women's cross country) place in the top 12 in the nation. Success has followed Stanforth throughout his entire coaching career. At Glendale Community College in Arizona, where he coached all four teams (head coach for men's and women's cross country, head women's track coach, assistant men's track coach) in a seven-year span, he earned NJCAA Region Coach of the Year honors twice for men's cross country. That program clinched the Region I Championship in 1981 and 1984, while capturing second place in 1980 and Two of those teams ('81 and '84) were also the Arizona Community College champions, and two of his runners won state individual titles. He developed 19 NJCAA All-Americans (cross country and track) and 15 community college state champions in middle distance and distance track events. Before his stint at Glendale, Stanforth was the head coach of both programs at his alma mater, the University of South Dakota-Springfield, in While there, he orchestrated an incredible one-season turnaround for the cross country team, taking the squad from last place to second in the SDIC conference while utilizing the same athletes. A solid athlete in his own right, Stanforth earned 11 collegiate letters at South Dakota-Springfield, acting as team captain for the cross country, basketball and track teams. He earned his bachelor's degree from the university in 1972, graduating with a double major in mathematics and physical education. He also earned a master's in education from Northern State College in South Dakota and did additional graduate course work at Arizona State University. Stanforth and Pat, his wife, live in Colorado Springs. They have two sons, Nicholas and Daniel.

7 COACHING STAFF SCOTT IRVING ASSISTANT COACH Horizontal Jumps and Throws Scott Irving joined the track and field staff in 1999, as the head coach for the Air Force field events. Irving's primary responsibilities include recruiting the field events and coaching the men's and women's horizontal jumps and throws. Irving previously coached the pole vault team from In 2003, Irving coached Jocelyn Dooley to the Academy's first women's NCAA Division I qualifier in track and field. With Dominique Boivin's Mountain West Conference title in the discus, Irving now claims two of Air Force's three MWC champions for women in any sport. (The other track and field champion was Ana-Maria Ortega in the 2001 women's pole vault.) Those distinctions are amplified even more by the fact that 31 of the 58 total points gathered by the women's team at the 2003 MWC Outdoor Championships belonged to the throwers. Irving shows no signs of slowing down, considering his 2003 recruiting class includes a USA Today All- American javelin thrower, Matt Schwandt, as well as several other potential NCAA All-Americans. Numerous school records have been rewritten from in the men's indoor and outdoor shot put, women's indoor and outdoor pole vault, women's discus and women's javelin. The field events have substantially increased the point production at the MWC meets, as witnessed by the women's throws in In 2001, the USAFA men were ranked first in the outdoor field events with 109 points. In 2002, Irving's first true recruiting class that competed in the vault and throws broke the school's Freshmen class records 15 times. Irving coached two conference champions in 2002, including freshman Paul Gensic, who was ranked second in the NCAA that season among freshmen and won the MWC pole vault title. Tim Fritz, the other MWC champion, set a meet and MWC record on his way to the javelin title. Fritz repeated that title in 2003, which marks the third time in four years that a member of the USAFA program has won the MWC javelin title. Irving brings an impressive list of credentials to the Academy. Countless conference champions, over 30 NCAA All-Americans, six national champions, numerous national team members and two Olympians have developed under his tutelage over the past 24 years. He helped build two NCAA championship programs at the University of Oregon ( ) and the University of Florida ( ). Three school records for Irving-coached athletes still stand at Oregon. During the 1989 SEC Outdoor Championships, Florida throwers scored nearly half of the points possible in their events and earned five of the top seven places in the women's discus. From , Irving guided the University of Illinois' men's team back to the conference title, as he built the strongest field event program in the Big Ten. While 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. JD Teach, a five-time conference shot put champion, as well as an NCAA All-American, finished second at the USATF National Junior Track and Field Championships and was the National Junior Olympic Weight Lifting Champion. School records by Irving-coached javelin throwers now exist in all five major Division I programs where he has coached (ACC, Big Ten, SEC, PAC-10 and MWC). Irving has written dozens of technical articles in a variety of journals. His 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 A recipient of two master's degrees (Architectural History from Northwestern University in 1977 and Biomechanics/Athletic Administration from University of Oregon in 1979), the 1973 Willamette University graduate places the pursuit of academic excellence as an utmost priority. His athletes at Oregon annually dotted the dean's list, while his athletes at Florida made the All-SEC academic team 40 times. Phenomenally, in two out of just four years at Illinois, he had athletes awarded the most prestigious accolade - the Big Ten Medal of Honor, for academic/athletic excellence. Irving was born in Portland, Ore., 40 miles from his hometown of Cascade Locks. He and his wife, Allyn, have been married 30 years and have two sons, Scott (17) and Kevin (14). DOUG ADLER Hammer and Weight Throws Doug Adler is beginning his fourth year as a volunteer assistant coach at the Academy. He will handle the hammer and weight events, as well as assisting with the combined events. Adler has high expectations for continued improvement in the hammer/weight events. Under his tutelage, the record books at USAFA have already begun to be re-written. This includes four class records; one school record (Beth Inglis in the 20-pound weight throw); incursions onto the Top-10 Performance lists by five women and one man in the weight throw and six women and two men in the hammer throw. In championship meets, the men have now placed in the hammer throw at the MWC meet each of the last three years, while the women broke into the scoring in 2001 with two places. Also, two women and two men competed at the initial NCAA Regional Championships after having met the qualification marks. 7 Over a 14-year collegiate career, students who have been coached by Adler have garnered All-American status in the 35-pound weight, discus and javelin events. Additionally, Adler has coached a national qualifier in the long jump, assisted with coaching All-Americans in both the heptathlon and decathlon and had at least one of his athletes set a school record in a field event at every school where he has coached. In addition to having had the privilege of coaching student-athletes at Humboldt State ( ), Southern Illinois ( ), Miami ( ), Alabama ( ), Texas Tech ( ), South Alabama ( ), and Virginia ( ), Adler is fortunate enough to have also worked for one year with Siggy Einarsson, a "BAMA" alumnus, who went on to finish fifth in the 1992 Olympics while representing Iceland. Adler earned his bachelor's in liberal arts from the University of Virginia in He also holds a master's in administration of higher education from Alabama (1991) with additional graduate course work in exercise science and administration of athletics at SIU and other schools. A native of New York, Adler moved to Colorado Springs in 1995, while an Assistant Vice President with Citibank. Currently, he is self-employed and resides in Colorado Springs.

10 2003 INDOOR REVIEW The Air Force men's and women's track teams concluded another successful indoor season in School records were broken and MWC champions were crowned as the Falcons made marked improvements toward becoming a significant threat in the Mountain West Conference. The Falcon men finished second at both the Air Force Invitational and the Air Force Classic and took fifth at the Husker Invitational in Lincoln, Neb. Twenty-two different Falcons earned at least five points over the course of the season and the team's top contributor in each regular season meet was a different cadet-athlete. Jim Campbell led the scoring for the Falcons at the Air Force Invitational with 11¼ points, while Chris Banks and Anthony Park tied for 12 points apiece at the Air Force Classic and Chris Acs tallied a team-best 10 points at the Husker Invitational. The Air Force women finished fourth at the Air Force Invitational and third at the Air Force Classic. The Falcons also received a seventh-place finish at the Husker Invitational during the regular season. There were 16 different Falcons that produced at least five points over the season. LaTravia Robinson led the team in scoring during both meets at the Academy, scoring 14 points at the Air Force Invitational and 18 points at the Air Force Classic. Elissa Ballas tallied nine points to lead the team at the Husker Invitational in Lincoln, Neb. Sean Temple led the men's team with 47½ points, bolstered by a 17¼-point outing at the Mountain West Conference Championships. Robinson accumulated 56 points to lead the women's team, earning double-digit point totals in three of the four major meets. She had 24¾ more points than Ballas, who finished second on the team. The team's hard work culminated at the Mountain West Conference championships, held in the Cadet Field House at the Air Force Academy. The men finished third in the league, posting the highest point-total in team history (135). Although the women finished in eighth-place, they saw a dramatic improvement in their point-totals, topping the previous year's score by 21 points and posting their third-best total isince joining Division I. Three members of the men's team earned individual championships at the league meet. Bryant Bevan claimed the league title in the 800-meter run, while Sean Temple won the 60-meter hurdles. Jim Campbell rounded out the trio with a conference title in the pentathlon. Aside from the event winners, Air Force had seven others who finished within the top three of their respective events. Thomas Clark finished second behind Temple in the 60-meter hurdles, while Temple placed third in the 400-meter dash. Jim Campbell tied for the second in the high jump. Nick Bromberek finished third in the 200- meter dash - just.01 behind the event runner-up. Anthony Park earned a third-place finish in the triple jump on the men's side, while LaTravia Robinson finished second in the women's competition. Both the men's and women's distance medley relay teams finished among the conference's best, finishing second and third, respectively. The 2003 Falcons made a tremendous impact on the Academy's record book this season. There were three school indoor records set, as Jim Campbell and Jami Hodge both set individual records, while four more teamed up for a relay record. Campbell's 3,861 points in the pentathlon bested the previous record that had stood for seven years. Hodge finished faster than any other AFA cadet in school history in the 200-meter dash with a Elissa Ballas, Katy Crow, Kelly McPherson and Cindy Dawson set a school record time in the distance medley relay, finishing in 11: In addition to the four school records that were set, there were also 32 new additions to the Academy's Top-10 Performance lists. On the men's side, 16 new entries were added, including nine that breached the top-five. The women matched that total with 16 additions of their own - ten of which were top-five marks.

12 2003 OUTDOOR REVIEW The Air Force men's and women's track and field team used the success they gathered during the indoor season as they continued into the outdoor portion of the schedule. More school records were shattered and four more Falcons earned titles at the Mountain West Conference Outdoor Championships. The Falcons bolted through the dual meet season, with the men's team tallying a perfect 3-0 mark. The 3-2 record for the women s team marked the first winning outdoor season of Ralph Lindeman's tenure as the head coach of the Air Force women s program. Air Force claimed titles at the Colorado Quadrangular, as both the men and the women defeated Colorado, Wyoming and Northern Colorado. During the season, Tom Clark led the men's team with 35¾ points. Clark earned his points from team-leading outings at the Colorado Quad (16½) and at the MWC Championships (19¼). After finishing just a half a point ahead of Chris Banks (16) at the quad meet, Clark led the team at the conference meet by 10 total points. Dominique Boivin paced the women's squad with 47 points over the course of the season. Her total was bolstered by the team's top point total in each of the team's three scoring meets - Army/Navy Double Dual (15 points), Colorado Quadrangular (20 points) and MWC Championships (12). LaTravia Robinson finished second on the team in both regular season meets, with 12 and 17¾ points, respectively, while Elissa Ballas posted the second-most points at the conference meet with 10. During the Mountain West Conference championships, the men took a third-place finish at the conference championships for the second consecutive year, but it was the women's team that made a dramatic improvement. After finishing eighth for each year of MWC action, the women vaulted into sixth place, scoring a Division I-best 58 points. Boivin made USAFA history at the MWC Outdoor Championships, when she became the Academy's first women's track or field athlete to win an outdoor conference title. She is also just the third female cadet to be named a conference champion in either season, as Jen Petykowski (WAC-1996) and Ana-Maria Ortega (MWC- 2001) earned championships during the indoor season. On the men's side, Ben Payne repeated as the men's 10,000-meter run champion, while Tim Fritz claimed his second consecutive javelin title. Clark earned his first individual conference title in stellar fashion, setting a new conference record time in the 110-meter hurdles. Aside from the four event winners, Air Force had eight more top-three finishers. Clark added to his medal collection, finishing second on the 400-meter hurdles, while Jocelyn Dooley also picked up a second-place finish in the javelin throw. Chris Acs and Ballas each earned third-place honors in their respective 5,000-meter runs, while Nick Wilson finished third in the 10,000-meter run. Paul Gensic and Christian Morgan tied for third in the pole vault, while Nick Herald took the bronze in the decathlon. While four Academy records were set, there were 53 instances where a cadet-athlete made their way onto the program's top-10 performance list, including 25 marks that ended up in the top-five. A total of 23 top-10 marks came from the men's team. Three of the top-five scores in the 400-meter hurdles came from the 2003 squad, led by Clark, who now holds the second-best time in school history. The women added 30 new entries to the all-performance list, with nearly half of those coming in the top-five. The hammer throw records saw a dramatic change, as five of the top-ten records were set last season. Priscilla Giddings posted the second-best mark in school history in 2003, while Boivin registered a close third on the alltime performance list.

14 2004 MEN S PREVIEW Q&A With Head Coach Ralph Lindeman Note: Head coach Ralph Lindeman sat down and previewed the upcoming men s season in a question and answer format. Q: WHAT WILL THE STRENGTHS OF THE TEAM BE IN 2004? A: It is especially hard this year to identify a particular "strength", because we have several of them. The distance events have been the strength of our program throughout the years and 2004 will be no exception. We've got conference championshiplevel athletes in every event from the 800- meter run to the 10,000-meter run. The fact that (assistant track coach and head cross country coach) Mark Stanforth's men's cross country team finished in eighth-place at the NCAA Championships certainly projects considerable success for us in these events. We may have the best corps of hurdlers in the country. Senior Sean Temple (Monument, Colo.) is already a two-time MWC Champion. Along with Jim Campbell (senior - Portage, Mich.) and Luke Marker (senior - Manson, Wash.), those three should again be among our qualifiers for the NCAA Outdoor Championships. I'm also really excited to have junior Jonathan Myers (Davenport, Iowa) and sophomore Kory Pearson (Beavercreek, Ohio) competing in the 400-meter hurdles, as well. If I had to pick one event as our flagship event, though, it would be the pole vault. Paul Gensic (junior - Fort Wayne, Ind.) returns full-strength after his serious injuries last February. I fully expect him to challenge for the MWC title and be among the NCAA leaders during both the indoor and outdoor seasons. Gensic and fellow juniors Makisi Haleck (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) and Christian Morgan (Henderson, Nev.) should give us a trio of 17-foot vaulters. I doubt that there will be more than three or four schools in the NCAA that can make that claim. Q: HOW WILL THE FALCONS FARE IN THE DISTANCE EVENTS? A: Bryant Bevan (Langhorne, Pa.), the 2003 MWC indoor 800-meter run champion, returns for his senior season and should claim significant honors. Sophomore Mark Walter (League City, Texas) and junior Nathan Franz (Sierra Vista, Ariz.) will lead us in the 1500-meter run, while sophomore Kalib Wilkinson (Huntersville, N.C.) is our top steeplechase competitor. Ben Payne (senior - Arvada, Colo.) is a three-time MWC champion. He, along with Chris Acs (senior - Nile, Ohio), Brian Dumm (junior - Fairfax, Va.), Abe Wengel (junior - Menomonie, Wis.) and Nick Wilson (sophomore - Jacksonville, Fla.) should give us dominance in the 5,000- and 10,000-meter events at the conference championship level. Q: WHAT ABOUT IN THE SPRINTS? A: Senior Nick Bromberek (Lemont, Ill.) will be the mainstay of our sprint crew. He's already earned several all-conference awards for placing in the top three at the MWC Championships, both in individual races and relays. Matt Ward (sophomore - Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) could give us a huge boost if he can minimize conflicts with football, and we have two young sprinters in Troy Jensen (sophomore - Santa Ana, Calif.) and Billy Flynt (sophomore - Platte City, Mo.) that could also make an impact. Q: HOW WILL AIR FORCE MATCH UP IN THE FIELD EVENTS? A: Senior Tim Hughes (Royal Oak, Mich.) gives us a consistent conference scorer in the high jump - he's scored in six consecutive MWC indoor and outdoor championship meets. We should be the strongest we've ever been in the horizontal jumps, as two-time MWC champion Anthony Park (Las Vegas, Nev.) returns for his senior season and will not be distracted by conditioning for football as in previous years. Chris Banks (senior - Culpeper, Va.) is one of the most improved athletes I've ever worked with over his first three years and if he continues to improve at the same rate...he will have a banner season. CHRIS ACS BRYANT BEVAN PAUL GENSIC 14

15 2004 MEN S PREVIEW JASON MCNEAL CHRIS BANKS BEN PAYNE Seniors Dave Hoffecker (javelin - Sevierville, Tenn.), Steven "Buddy" Lizzol (discus - Seneca, Kan.) and Jason McNeal (hammer - Woods Creek, Utah) lead our relatively young group of throwers. Freshmen Jason Perkins (Phoenix, Ariz.) and Mark "Buck" Koalenz (San Antonio, Texas) were both ranked among the top-10 high school discus throwers in the country in They both could make huge contributions for us after spring football is completed in late-march. Freshman javelin thrower Matt Schwandt (Manhattan, Kan.) is one of the best prospects we've ever brought to USAFA and he has the potential to be among America's best in that event. Q: WILL THE FALCONS HAVE ANY ATH- LETES IN THE COMBINED EVENTS? A: Senior Nick Herald (Sparks, Nev.) will be among the conference leaders in both the heptathlon (indoors) and decathlon (outdoors). Junior Caleb Pelger (Peabody, Mass.) has made huge improvements in the combined events as well. With the NCAA making the indoor heptathlon a championship event in 2004, Jim Campbell (senior - Portage, Mich.) will not be able to defend his conference title in the pentathlon nor contest the combined event in deference to concentrating on the hurdle events. Q: WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE THIS SEASON? A: BYU and Colorado State should be the overwhelming favorites (on paper) based on their 2003 performances, but I believe in our team's ability to challenge them for the conference team title this year. Both New Mexico and Wyoming appear to be significantly improved this year, as well. Q: WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF THE TEAM'S SCHEDULE? A: We don't have as many scored meets as we've traditionally had, but I believe we have the best schedule possible to prepare our team for the MWC Championships. Highlights on our schedule include traveling to the PAC-10 Invitational in Seattle during the indoor season, and then to the Stanford Invitational, Mt SAC Relays and Drake Relays during the outdoor season. We will have five home meets during the indoor season and two during the outdoor schedule. That's as many as we've ever had at the Academy. We're expecting a number of NCAA-qualifying performances at the Cadet Field House (indoor season) and at the Cadet Track and Field Complex (outdoor season). CHRISTIAN MORGAN 15

16 2004 WOMEN S PREVIEW JEAN TAYLOR DOMINIQUE BOIVIN ANNE CHUMLEA Q&A With Head Coach Ralph Lindeman Note: Head coach Ralph Lindeman sat down and previewed the upcoming women s season during a question and answer session. Q: WHAT WILL THE STRENGTHS OF THE AIR FORCE WOMEN BE IN 2004? A: The throwing events will definitely be our strongest - the four throwing events are our women's best opportunity to score in the Mountain West Conference and to qualify for the NCAA Championship competition. Junior Dominique Boivin (Shoreline, Wash.) is the defending MWC champion in the discus throw and could be among the national leaders this year. Dana Pounds (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) barely missed qualifying for the NCAA Championships last year as a freshman. Junior Lacy DeWall (Bismark, N.D.) could also be among the national leaders in the javelin, if she can bounce back from a series of surgeries to her foot and elbow. Senior Jessica Perez (Fullerton, Calif.) is another returning conference scorer and NCAA qualifier from a year ago. Then there's Olivia Korte (Seneca, Kan.). She could make a huge impact on the Falcons' success in the throwing events as just a freshman. Q: HOW WILL THE FALCONS FARE IN THE DISTANCE EVENTS? A: This has been our strength over the years and 2004 should be no exception. Senior Anne Chumlea (Enon, Ohio) will lead us in the distance races, while senior Kelly McPherson (RAF Mildenhall, England.) and junior Cindy Dawson (Yreka, Calif.) will pace us in the middle distance races. Senior Jean Taylor (Florissant, Mo.) could finish her year as the best steeplechaser the Academy has had in the short history of the event on the women's level. We have a terrific group of freshmen middle distance and distance runners as well. Q: HOW WILL THE FALCONS PERFORM IN THE SPRINTS? A: Historically, we have had trouble matching up with our opponents in these two areas, but I believe that this season we should see the best sprint-hurdle crew that we have seen in years. Junior Jami Hodge (Sachese, Texas) is developing into one of the fastest sprinters that the Air Force Academy has ever seen. Q: HOW WILL AIR FORCE DO IN THE HURDLE EVENTS? Hurdlers Rachael McIntosh (junior - Stafford, Va.), Paula Maffey (junior - Las Vegas, Nev.) and Jen Neville (sophomore - Cold Spring, N.Y.) all have the potential to score in the conference meet - with McIntosh competing in the 100-meter hurdles and Maffey and Neville taking part in the 400-meter hurdles. Freshman Dierra Poland (Deptford, N.J.) has shown tremendous potential in the 100-meter hurdles, as well. She is also expected to compete in the high jump and long jump. Q: HOW WILL AIR FORCE MATCH UP IN THE FIELD EVENTS? A: In addition to the throwing events that we ve already mentioned, the Falcons will be vastly improved in the jumps. LaTravia Robinson (Waynesboro, Ga.) returns for her senior season, already holding USAFA school records in the long jump (outdoors) and triple jump (indoors). After enduring the 2003 season without a single high jumper, the Falcons will have a depth chart at least five-deep in that event during (First-year) assistant coach (1Lt.) Jake Gensic is working with a very talented group of young pole vaulters this season. 16

17 2004 WOMEN S PREVIEW Junior Erin Richardson (Colorado Springs, Colo.) returns to the lineup along with sophomore Amy Gilliland (Tyrone, Pa.). They will be joined by a promising freshman, Becky Stone (Danville, Calif.). Q: WHAT DOYOU SEE IN THISYEAR S FRESHMAN CLASS? A: Our coaching staff has paid a lot of attention to recruiting females to USAFA for our track and field program. We believe that we may have our best freshman class ever. Individuals like Dierra Poland and Olivia Korte have the potential to score in the Mountain West Conference right away. Q: HOW DOES THE LEADERSHIP OF THE SENIOR CLASS HELP THIS TEAM? A: We not only have terrific senior leadership on our women s team in team captains Anne Chumlea (distances), Jessica Perez (throws) and LaTravia Robinson (jumps), but we also have several juniors who are stepping up into leadership roles as well. Juniors like Cindy Dawson (distances), Dominique Boivin (throws) and Jami Hodge (sprints) have each taken on a leadership role in their event groups. Q: WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE COMPETITION FROM THE MOUN- TAIN WEST CONFERENCE? A: BYU, Colorado State and San Diego State should be the dominant teams in as they've been over the past few years. Wyoming is vastly improved and should be in the top half of the conference as well. Our hope is that we can be the 'best of the rest' and finish over UNLV, New Mexico and Utah in the conference championships. This goal may be more realistic during the outdoor season than during the indoor schedule, given our point potential in the throwing events. Of course, we love having the conference indoor championships on our track (at the Cadet Field House). It gives our team a chance to showcase their performances to their peers in the Cadet Wing. Being in our home environment raises the level of our performance. PAULA MAFFEY KELLY MCPHERSON JEN NEVILLE LATRAVIA ROBINSON 17

35 TWO-SPORT ATHLETES THE FALCONS TWO SPORT ATHLETES One of the trademarks of the Falcons' success in track and field over the years has been the number of dual-sport athletes who have competed for them. FOOTBALL Rob Hufford Anthony Park Matt Ward VOLLEYBALL Dierra Poland Mark Koalenz Dennis Poland According to Falcon head coach, Ralph Lindeman, "We've been fortunate that coaches like Fisher DeBerry (football), Luis Sagastume (soccer), Ardie McInelly (women's basketball) and Penny Lucas-White (volleyball) have been willing to allow some of their athletes to miss their spring seasons so that they may dedicate themselves to success in track & field. There's a spirit of cooperation amongst coaches here at the Academy that I don't believe exists at any other NCAA Division I universities when it comes to sharing student-athletes." WOMEN S BASKETBALL Dawn Higginbotham Kaitlin Barlow Jackie Novak Of course, we can't talk about two-sport athletes without mentioning the 40 cadet-athletes who run on the men's and women's cross country teams in the fall- their training and competition go on year-round, and the Falcon distance runners have played a huge role in the success of the Falcons' track teams. Lindeman adds, "It takes a very special commitment to excellence to compete in more than one sport at the NCAA Division I level, and especially at the Air Force Academy, where there are additional demands of military training and exceptionally large class loads when compared to other universities. These are very special student-athletes."

Placing no worse than second in any invitational during the regular season, the Falcons ended the season ranked higher than any team since 1967, when Arne Arneson led Air Force to a second-place finish at the national meet. Guided by senior Chris Acs and junior Brian Dumm, the Falcons finished the 10,000- meter race with a team score of 327 points. Air Force made its third appearance at the national championships in the last four years after finishing third in the NCAA Mountain Regional Championships. Four runners earned all-region honors. Another highlight of the 2003 season came at the Mountain West Conference Championships, when the Air Force men earned its first MWC title in school history, ending BYU's string of six consecutive conference championships. Six runners earned all-conference honors, led by conference runner-up Ben Payne, and head coach Mark Stanforth was chosen as the league's Coach of the Year. The women's season concluded with a third-place finish at the conference championships - the fifth straight season that the Air Force women have finished third. During the regular season, the Falcons took second in each of the invitationals. 35

62 WORLD CLASS ATHLETE PROGRAM Athletic Opportunities Upon Graduation... Every two years, the Air Force sponsors athletes to train for a berth in the next Olympic Games (two years for the summer sports and two years for the winter sports). Athletes for this program must be of Olympic caliber: that is, the National Governing Body (NGB) must recognize the athletes chosen for World Class Athlete Program (WCAP) as having a legitimate chance at attaining an Olympic berth. Athletes who meet the criteria are then placed in a special duty assignment for a two-year period 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 you get the time off to train the way an elite athlete needs to train, but you 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 from coaching and training partners. This is an excellent opportunity for Air Force graduates to continue to participate in athletics. Since 1998, over 30 athletes have been chosen for the WCAP. Of these, nine were track and field athletes ranging from the marathon to the decathlon. All of these athletes now have the unique freedom of serving the military as an elite athlete. In 1998, five former cadet-athletes were chosen for the WCAP; Lieutenants Eric Mack (1996), Marcus Nichols (1997), Nick MacFalls (1995), Matt Zuber (1989) and Captain Jeff Kuzma (1994). Airman Calvin Bostic was also selected for WCAP. Bostic graduated from the University of Toledo in TRACKIN A ROCKET! Capt Jeff Kuzma is a space engineer who s worked on rockets, but for the last year, he s focused on turning his body into a rocket for a shot at gold in the 2000 Olympics. The captain entered the World Class Athlete Program in It s a once in a lifetime deal, but it shows the great life in the Air Force. Good things happen to people who keep their options open, Kuzma said. What s it like to work hard and earn track glory? At the beginning, there was a nervousness, lining up with guys I d seen only on TV. I did not see myself at that level, just as an engineer. The more I train, my mentality is not just happy to be here, especially within the last few months. It s taken me awhile. Now it s Why not me? The captain s spouse is supportive. We realized this is my primary job and we ll do it up right. She knows what I m gearing up to do. She was at the Milrose Games. Ah, yes, those Y2K Air Force Milrose Games--the undisputed blue chip of track and field competition. That was unbelievable, my first breakthrough, nationally televised, the oldest and biggest in the world. There was a great field. This guy called me up and asked me to be part of an 800-meter team. Others said, We never heard of him. The guy was hesitant, ready to give the young captain the bum s rush. Instead of the cold shoulder, they put him in. The recruiting guys were there, and I did a youth athletic clinic. I went from being a no one to photo shoots, and all that stuff, the captain said. The recruiters thought it s nice he s here but how will he do? I got second. They were just going crazy. Will he say in the near future Beam me up! to another space engineering job? Will he continue to pursue further track success? With a healthy seven-week-old, right now, the captain says, as always, he s keeping his options open. --by Staff Sgt. John B. Dendy IV Airman Magazine, Sept 2000 Capt Jeff Kuzma, a 1998 selection to the WCAP, finished fifth in the 2000 Olympic Trials Jeff Kuzma could become the first Academy athlete to make the USA Olympic Track & Field team since Alonzo Babers, who won gold in the 400 meters and the 1,600m relay in Los Angeles in Meri-Jo Borzilleri The Gazette, Sunday, June 18,

63 MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE The MWC was conceived on May 26, 1998, when eight teams announced they were breaking away from the Western Athletic Conference. Those teams - Air Force, Brigham Young, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming - brought immediate credibility to their new league. From a team perspective, when the eight schools splintered off and created the Mountain West Conference, they took the backbone of the WAC with them. Half were charter members of the WAC when it was founded in 1962: Utah, BYU, New Mexico and Wyoming. Colorado State (1968) and San Diego State (1978) both competed as WAC members for at least two decades, while Air Force (1980) was also a longstanding member. Only UNLV, which joined the WAC during its expansion in 1996, was a newcomer. The split from the former 16-team WAC signaled the end to an unwieldy nine-state, five-time zone conference. However, the Mountain West Conference has maintained its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful geography in the nation can be found within Mountain West Conference boundaries, including the unparalleled Rocky Mountain range, which borders four MWC schools (Utah, BYU, Air Force and Colorado State). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,000 feet) contrast with the desert city of Las Vegas (the fastest growing metropolitan area in the West), the balmy weather and Pacific Ocean locale of San Diego State and the southwestern flavor of New Mexico. The Conference officially began operations on July 1, Prior to opening it doors an executive committee was established and named Craig Thompson commissioner. Thompson had less than one-year to name the new league, settle on a city to serve as the league's headquarters, find a television partner, arrange for bowl tie-ins, hire staff, and develop a logo. Hence the Mountain West Conference was formed. Located in Colorado Springs, Colo., when the conference's doors opened for business the new league had in place a seven-year contract with ESPN giving the broadcaster exclusive national television rights to MWC football and men's basketball; and three-year agreements to send the league's football champion to the Liberty Bowl.

68 CADET FIELD HOUSE RECORDS 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 seats 1,000 for home track meets. The track is a full-pour polyurethane surface (resurfaced in 1995 by Martin Surfacing), 268m (6 laps/mile), with eight lanes on the straightaway and six lanes on the oval. Inside the oval is an astroturf surface that includes polyurethane runways for the pole vault and horizontal jumps and a synthetic rubber approach and take-off area for the high jump, along with a throwing cage. For track meets, the field house is equipped with a full-size Daktronics track scoreboard and message center along with event-specific AAE field event scoreboards, and an Omega Hawkeye computerized timing system. The instrumentation and method used for measuring the throws were developed and used by Leica for the 1996 Olympic Games. The highly accurate survey instrument measures electronically the distance from the ring to the marked position of the throw. The instrument measures to the exact millimeter, but rounds the distance to the next lower centimeter. The instrument records the measurement along with the coordinates of the marked position and the time of the throw, and sends the result by radio to the judges. In July 1997, the Air Force Academy s Class of 1976 commissioned regional artist Michael Esch to paint an eight panel canvas representing the life of an Air Force Academy cadet over four years. Each canvas is a 40 foot by 40 foot panel, painted in acrylic enamel that portray the realism of Academy life since The panels hang on the northwest wall of the Cadet Field House indoor track and are a gift to the Academy s Athletic Department.

The track is a full-pour polyurethane surface (resurfaced in 1995 by Martin Surfacing), with eight lanes on both the straight and the 400- meter oval. Two horizontal jump runways, pole vault runway, and high jump approach area can accommodate approaches from either the north or south direction. The javelin approach is also polyurethane, and all throwing events can be staged on the infield. An ultra-modern press box has rooms for announcer, news media, meet operations staff, as well as team meetings, along with more than adequate storage space for track & field equipment.

77 Mission... The sum of the unique opportunities and experiences at the Academy -- Designed to allow cadets to grow militarily, intellectually, physically, and morally/ethically. Begins with the first day of basic cadet training and ends as second lieutenants toss their hats into the air at graduation. Military Development - The goal is to develop the knowledge, skills, values and behavior patterns needed to be an effective Air Force officer. Military Art and Science - Designed to develop in each cadet an understanding of the military profession and the composition, heritage and employment of U.S. military power. Instruction is phased over the last three years and advances from the basics of professionalism and military theory, to air power doctrine, Air Force employment concepts; culminating with an examination of joint and multinational operational concepts. The faculty teaches complementary military history and political science courses. Leadership - First learned as a concept and then put into practice, initially at the "follower" level. Upper-class cadets develop their leadership abilities by running the Cadet Wing, leading classroom discussions, and helping to teach Combat Survival Training and various airmanship courses. Officers are assigned to each program to advise and help. Aviation Sciences and Airmanship - All cadets participate in some form of airmanship activity each of their four years at the Academy. During the first summer, basic cadets are introduced to flying through orientation rides in a sailplane and the Cessna 172. Four degrees take a required aviation fundamentals course during the academic year that includes classroom instruction, T- 37 simulator rides, basic navigation and a oneday field trip to an operational flying base. Three degrees participate in the Soar-for-All program, which is designed to solo each cadet through a combination of conventional and powered sailplane flights. Two degrees (juniors) can participate in a wide range of courses in soaring, parachuting and navigation. Advanced courses in these areas prepare cadets to be instructors, permitting them to gain valuable operational and leadership experience. All cadets may belong to the Cadet Aviation Club and fly light aircraft as a member of the Aero Club during all four years. Flying activities are complemented by academic studies in astronomy, aeronautics, astronautics and physics. Professional Development Program - Professional Development begins when cadets arrive to start six weeks of basic cadet training and progresses steadily over four years. Each year builds on previous training and experience. Cadets have a self-study professional development curriculum and may participate in one or two professional seminars each week. They must pass a professional knowledge review near the end of each year. Emphasis in these programs is on the duties, commitment and responsibilities of a professional officer. Academic Development - Designed to provide cadets with a broad, high-quality education appropriate to a military career. The Academy is recognized as one of the finest colleges in the nation. Over 2,000 graduates have received post-graduation scholarships, including Rhodes Scholarships. The faculty is unique, consisting of approximately 530 military officers and civilian faculty who not only teach, but also serve as role models for cadets. About 55 percent possess a doctoral degree. Cadet course load is a good deal heavier than most other colleges. The core curriculum consists of 94 semester hours, with an even balance between basic sciences and engineering sciences on on hand and social sciences and humanities on the other. Cadets may choose one of 30 academic majors. About half of the cadets major in science or engineering. Physical Development - The objective is to develop good physical condition and the traits of teamwork, courage, aggressiveness, self-confidence, and an intense desire to win, all of which are essential to a military officer. Each cadet takes six semester hours of physical education during four years at the Academy. In addition, cadets must participate in intercollegiate or intramural sports throughout the academic year. Cadets have two intramural seasons. Each squadron fields a team in 16 sports. Men and women compete as teammates in all but a few contact sports, such as boxing and football. Academy fields intercollegiate teams in 17 men's and 10 women's sports. 77 UNITED STATES AIR FORCE ACADEMY Character Development - Designed to develop a cadets professional military character through an emphasis on Air Force core values, the Cadet Honor Code, ethics instruction, human relations education, service and moral/spiritual development. The goal is to produce the finest officers for the Air Force and the nation, lieutenants who are mentally, physically and spiritually prepared to lead. The Academy has an integrated, institution-wide character development program focusing on our core values of Integrity First, Service Before Self, Excellence in All We Do. The foundation is the Cadet Honor Code, which states, We will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does. All cadets take formal academic courses in ethics and leadership. They also receive honor, ethics, human relations, and other character development instruction and leadership experiences as part of their education and officer training programs throughout their four years at the Academy. The human relations education program promotes respect for others and an understanding of how gender, racial, ethnic, and cultural differences affect mission accomplishments; and the transition, attrition, performance, and quality of life for cadets in the Cadet Wing and members of the operational Air Force. Cadets are afforded ample schedule opportunities to participate in faith development programs of their own choosing and are encouraged to take part in religious, spiritual, and faith activities and programs provided at the Academy.
