AIR FORCETRACK ACADEMY FIELD

Air Force Track and Field

2169 Field House Dr.

USAF Academy,CO 80840

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-ath-

letes 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 champi-

onship-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 founda-

tion 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 LindemanHead Coach

Q&A With CoachLindeman

Ralph Lindeman is entering his 15th sea-son as the head coach of the Air ForceAcademy’s track and field program.Lindeman is well known throughout thetrack and field community and holds manydistinctions from his long involvement withboth the Olympic sport and the Academy'sathletic program.

What is the “Lindeman Philosophy”?Lindeman has a simple coaching philoso-phy which is summed up in the USAFAcore values - 'Integrity first, Service beforeself, Excellence in all we do.' He believesthat his role as the head coach is to makesure that the program provides a frame-work in which the cadet-athletes canachieve excellence, not only athletically,but also academically and militarily.

"I don't think my position is just coachingthe men's and women's track teams-myresponsibility is to provide leadership forthe entire program-that means not onlyensuring athletic success but success inthe other mission elements as well."

How did he get started in the sport?Lindeman's involvement with track andfield stems as far back as his youth, whenhe attended Phoenix Christian GradeSchool and High School in Phoenix, Ariz.

"My seventh grade P.E. teacher took ourclass to a track meet between ArizonaState and New Mexico. I saw a great dualmeet as well as an incredible 400-meterrace between Ulis Williams of ASU andAdolph Plummer of New Mexico… I lovedit! The next week was my birthday, andwhen my parents asked what special thingwe could do for my birthday, I told them allI wanted to do was to go to another ASUtrack meet, so we did! That got mehooked."

Where did his inspiration come from?From the very first day he stepped onto thetrack at the Air Force Academy in 1989, theFalcons’ teams have benefited fromLindeman's leadership and his love ofcoaching.

Due to the mentoring that the 52-year oldcoach received from the beginning, firstfrom his seventh grade P.E. teacher, whotook him to his first ASU track meet andthen from his high school track coach, whoaccording to Lindeman, "unknowinglyinspired me to pursue coaching."

Lindeman's career began at Glendale Highas an assistant coach under Ken France, alegend in the Arizona coaching ranks.Lindeman credits Dave Murray at theUniversity of Arizona for giving him his firstfull-time job at the collegiate level andteaching him a lot about college coaching.

“Now, I get much of my inspiration andmotivation from my peers - like MarkStanforth of our own staff, or rivals like RonMann at Northern Arizona, Bob Fraley atFresno State or John McNichols at IndianaState - I respect these guys and value theiropinions."

Lindeman takes his coaching experienceand responsibilities very seriously and nowit is his turn to be a mentor to the cadets hetrains.

"I've always thought of myself first and fore-most as a teacher, and that's how I startedout in this profession - teaching biology andcoaching at the high school level… I'm ateacher now who spends up to three hoursevery day with the cadet-athletes I workwith. I like to think I mentor those cadet-athletes in everything I teach from trackand field technique and training to charac-ter development and leadership."

What about Lindeman's priorities?Lindeman credits his mentors and his stafffor his evolution in the sport. However, healso credits his wife, Cindy, for having aneffect on himself as a person and as coach.

"My faith and my family are my top priori-ties in life, so quite obviously they affect mycoaching. Cindy, my wife of 32 years, isthe kindest and most loving and thoughtfulperson I've ever been around, and so, shechallenges me to be the same - in fact, Iguess I have to say that she is my "mentor"in addition to being my best friend."

HEAD COACHRALPH LINDEMAN

Ralph Lindeman

Lindeman's daughter, Jennifer Rowedder,is a graduate of Arizona State. The formerprimary grade school teacher now tutorselementary children. Her husband, Brian,is also an ASU graduate and works at EntFederal Credit Union. Jennifer and Brianhave two children, Maddison and Brock.Lindeman's son, Brian, is a firefighter inParker, Colo., and a former Colorado highschool state champion in the pole vault. Heis married to Heather Dunavin, a neo-natalnurse at University Hospital in Denver.

What are his passions?Lindeman's passion for the sport and pro-fession overflows into an involvement withboth USA Track and Field and with the U.S.Track Coaches Association.

"I have a passion for the coaching profes-sion and a real love of this sport; so myinvolvement in those organizations is withthe dual objective of having a significancein the profession and the sport. I trust thatany improvements I can help affect for col-legiate track and field will have a positivespin-off for the Air Force program."

In 1999, Lindeman served as the men'shead coach for the USA team at the Pan-American Games and in 2001 at the WorldUniversity Games.

"It was obviously an honor. I hope it wasalso an honor for our staff, our cadet-ath-letes and for the Air Force Academy."

Throughout the years, Lindeman hasdeveloped a vision statement, which hashelped the program to evolve into a highlycompetitive sport. The vision statement issimple yet precise:

"Our vision is to develop highly competitivemen's and women's track and field andcross country teams which annually con-tend for the conference title, while insistingon a total commitment to academic andmilitary goals, unwavering compliance withinstitutional and NCAA guidelines; andwhose trademarks are an image of com-plete class and unquestioned integrity."

What are Lindeman’s most memorablecoaching experiences? "The most memorable experiences are ofthe teams that achieved way beyond theirpotential. Also, our consecutive runner-upfinishes in the MWC outdoor meets in 1999and 2000 were tremendously rewarding.”

“And I will never forget the 1991 crosscountry team that won the Air ForceAcademy’s first-ever WAC Championshipand then placed 14th in the NCAAChampionships.”

“Then, there was our 1995 men's teamwhich was the runner-up in the indoor con-ference championships - just three and halfpoints behind BYU. At the time, that wasthe closest any team had come to BYU insix years - that was exciting!"

What does Lindeman love about being acoach at the Air Force Academy?"I love the caliber of the young men andyoung women that I get to work with - well-rounded individuals who have higher prior-ities than athletics, but who are just ascommitted to excellence as any other high-ly successful competitors."

What does he expect from his athletes?“I expect them to be committed to excel-lence, which means always striving todevelop, progress and show steadyimprovement of their performances in theirevents over the course of the year andthroughout their four years in our program.”

What does the coach look for whenrecruiting athletes for his teams?"The first task is to identify high school jun-iors and seniors who can run fast, jumphigh and throw far. Then, we screen thecandidates for their academic credentials,character and citizenship. Finally, our chal-lenge is to sell the prospects on a serviceacademy education and a career in theUnited States Air Force."

What are Lindeman's expectations forthe 2004 men’s and women’s teams?"The goal of the men's teams will continueto be challenging BYU for the conferencetitle. I'd be thrilled if we can achieve that.Colorado State will again be a formidablefoe to challenge us for second. I'd be verypleased if our women's team can again fin-ish sixth in the eight-team conference. Ibelieve that we may have our bestwomen's team ever - much better thansome of those Division II teams of pastyears, which placed in the Top-10 at theNCAA Championships. This conference isextremely challenging for our women -BYU, Colorado State and SDSU could allbe among the top 25 teams in the country."

COACHING STAFF

Mark Stanforth is in his 12th season as thecoach of the distance runners. He alsoserves as head coach of the men's andwomen's cross country teams. Since 1992,Stanforth has expected consistency from hisdistance runners, and his expectations havebrought the results needed to be competi-tive in the Mountain West Conference and atthe NCAA Division-I level.

The 2003 men's cross country team became the first squad other than BYUto claim the conference title, winning the MWC Championship. The 2003season concluded with an eighth-place finish at the NCAA Championshipsfor the team’s highest national finish since 1967.

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 teamearned its fifth straight top three MWC finish, which is the highest team fin-ish the women's program has had since joining a conference in 1996.

Since 1992, Stanforth has coached his men's cross country teams to 11consecutive top three finishes in the WAC and MWC. His 1994 and 1996teams were the WAC champions and the 2003 team won the program'sfirst MWC title. His peers have honored Stanforth as both the WAC andMWC Coach of the Year on four different occasions. The WAC honoredhim as the league's top coach in 1994 and again in 1996. He claimed hisfirst Mountain West coaching award in 1999 and repeated that honor in2003, after winning the conference title.

While in the WAC, Stanforth was the only Air Force coach to lead a Falconteam to two outright WAC titles in any sport, and accomplished the impres-sive feat of qualifying a team for the national championships in each of hisfirst four years as head coach (women's cross country).

Under Stanforth's leadership, the Falcons have garnered six cross countryAll-Americans, 11 track and field All-Americans, four NCAA Division IIwomen's national championship appearances, two men's cross country

WAC championships, one men's MWC championship, three men's nation-al all-academic teams and three women’s national all-academic team.

Before joining the Academy for the 1992 season, Stanforth served as thehead coach for the men's and women's cross country and track programsfor five years at the University of California-San Diego. Thirty-seven ath-letes 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 NCAADivision III Championships for four straight years, while both cross countryteams finished in the top 12 nationally twice in a three-year period. In1992, UCSD was one of only two institutions to have all four teams (menand women's track, men and women's cross country) place in the top 12 inthe nation.

Success has followed Stanforth throughout his entire coaching career. AtGlendale Community College in Arizona, where he coached all four teams(head coach for men's and women's cross country, head women's trackcoach, assistant men's track coach) in a seven-year span, he earnedNJCAA Region Coach of the Year honors twice for men's cross country.That program clinched the Region I Championship in 1981 and 1984, whilecapturing second place in 1980 and 1982. Two of those teams ('81 and'84) were also the Arizona Community College champions, and two of hisrunners won state individual titles. He developed 19 NJCAA All-Americans(cross country and track) and 15 community college state champions inmiddle distance and distance track events.

Before his stint at Glendale, Stanforth was the head coach of both pro-grams at his alma mater, the University of South Dakota-Springfield, in1977-78. While there, he orchestrated an incredible one-season turn-around for the cross country team, taking the squad from last place to sec-ond in the SDIC conference while utilizing the same athletes.

A solid athlete in his own right, Stanforth earned 11 collegiate letters atSouth Dakota-Springfield, acting as team captain for the cross country,basketball and track teams. He earned his bachelor's degree from the uni-versity in 1972, graduating with a double major in mathematics and physi-cal education. He also earned a master's in education from Northern StateCollege in South Dakota and did additional graduate course work atArizona State University. Stanforth and Pat, his wife, live in ColoradoSprings. They have two sons, Nicholas and Daniel.

Scott Irving joined the track and field staff in1999, as the head coach for the Air Forcefield events. Irving's primary responsibilitiesinclude recruiting the field events andcoaching the men's and women's horizontaljumps and throws. Irving previouslycoached the pole vault team from 2000-03.

In 2003, Irving coached Jocelyn Dooley to the Academy's first women'sNCAA Division I qualifier in track and field. With Dominique Boivin'sMountain West Conference title in the discus, Irving now claims two of AirForce's three MWC champions for women in any sport. (The other trackand 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 58total points gathered by the women's team at the 2003 MWC OutdoorChampionships belonged to the throwers. Irving shows no signs of slow-ing down, considering his 2003 recruiting class includes a USA Today All-American javelin thrower, Matt Schwandt, as well as several other poten-tial NCAA All-Americans.

Numerous school records have been rewritten from 2001-03 in the men'sindoor and outdoor shot put, women's indoor and outdoor pole vault,women's discus and women's javelin. The field events have substantiallyincreased the point production at the MWC meets, as witnessed by thewomen's throws in 2003. In 2001, the USAFA men were ranked first in theoutdoor field events with 109 points. In 2002, Irving's first true recruitingclass that competed in the vault and throws broke the school's Freshmenclass records 15 times.

Irving coached two conference champions in 2002, including freshmanPaul Gensic, who was ranked second in the NCAA that season amongfreshmen and won the MWC pole vault title. Tim Fritz, the other MWCchampion, 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 thata member of the USAFA program has won the MWC javelin title.

Irving brings an impressive list of credentials to the Academy. Countlessconference champions, over 30 NCAA All-Americans, six national champi-ons, numerous national team members and two Olympians have devel-oped under his tutelage over the past 24 years.

He helped build two NCAA championship programs at the University ofOregon (1977-83) and the University of Florida (1983-89). Three schoolrecords for Irving-coached athletes still stand at Oregon. During the 1989SEC Outdoor Championships, Florida throwers scored nearly half of thepoints possible in their events and earned five of the top seven places inthe women's discus.

From 1989-93, Irving guided the University of Illinois' men's team back tothe conference title, as he built the strongest field event program in the BigTen. 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 NCAAAll-American, finished second at the USATF National Junior Track andField Championships and was the National Junior Olympic Weight LiftingChampion. School records by Irving-coached javelin throwers now exist inall 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. Hisnational coaching assignments include the 1985 World University Games,the 1987 Olympic Festival, head coach for the 1989 junior tour, the 1990Scandinavian javelin tour, and the "U.S. vs. Great Britain" meet in the sum-mer of 1993.

The Air Force men's and women's track and field teamused the success they gathered during the indoor sea-son as they continued into the outdoor portion of theschedule. More school records were shattered and fourmore Falcons earned titles at the Mountain WestConference Outdoor Championships.

The Falcons bolted through the dual meet season, withthe men's team tallying a perfect 3-0 mark. The 3-2record for the women’s team marked the first winningoutdoor season of Ralph Lindeman's tenure as the headcoach of the Air Force women’s program.

During the season, Tom Clark led the men's team with35¾ points. Clark earned his points from team-leadingoutings at the Colorado Quad (16½) and at the MWCChampionships (19¼).

Q&A With Head CoachRalph Lindeman

Note: Head coach Ralph Lindeman satdown and previewed the upcoming men’sseason in a question and answer format.

Q: WHAT WILL THE STRENGTHS OFTHE TEAM BE IN 2004?A: It is especially hard this year to identify aparticular "strength", because we have sev-eral of them. The distance events havebeen the strength of our program through-out the years and 2004 will be no excep-tion. We've got conference championship-level athletes in every event from the 800-meter run to the 10,000-meter run. Thefact that (assistant track coach and headcross country coach) Mark Stanforth'smen's cross country team finished ineighth-place at the NCAA Championshipscertainly projects considerable success forus in these events.

We may have the best corps of hurdlers inthe country. Senior Sean Temple(Monument, Colo.) is already a two-timeMWC Champion. Along with Jim Campbell(senior - Portage, Mich.) and Luke Marker(senior - Manson, Wash.), those threeshould again be among our qualifiers forthe NCAA Outdoor Championships. I'malso really excited to have junior JonathanMyers (Davenport, Iowa) and sophomore

Kory Pearson (Beavercreek, Ohio) compet-ing in the 400-meter hurdles, as well.

If I had to pick one event as our flagshipevent, though, it would be the pole vault.Paul Gensic (junior - Fort Wayne, Ind.)returns full-strength after his seriousinjuries last February. I fully expect him tochallenge for the MWC title and be amongthe NCAA leaders during both the indoorand outdoor seasons. Gensic and fellowjuniors Makisi Haleck (Thousand Oaks,Calif.) and Christian Morgan (Henderson,Nev.) should give us a trio of 17-footvaulters. I doubt that there will be morethan three or four schools in the NCAA thatcan make that claim.

Q: HOW WILL THE FALCONS FARE INTHE DISTANCE EVENTS?A: Bryant Bevan (Langhorne, Pa.), the2003 MWC indoor 800-meter run champi-on, returns for his senior season andshould claim significant honors.Sophomore Mark Walter (League City,Texas) and junior Nathan Franz (SierraVista, Ariz.) will lead us in the 1500-meterrun, while sophomore Kalib Wilkinson(Huntersville, N.C.) is our top steeplechasecompetitor. Ben Payne (senior - Arvada,Colo.) is a three-time MWC champion. He,along with Chris Acs (senior - Nile, Ohio),Brian Dumm (junior - Fairfax, Va.), AbeWengel (junior - Menomonie, Wis.) andNick Wilson (sophomore - Jacksonville,

Fla.) should give us dominance in the5,000- and 10,000-meter events at the con-ference championship level.

Q: WHAT ABOUT IN THE SPRINTS?A: Senior Nick Bromberek (Lemont, Ill.) willbe the mainstay of our sprint crew. He'salready earned several all-conferenceawards for placing in the top three at theMWC Championships, both in individualraces and relays. Matt Ward (sophomore -Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) could give us a hugeboost if he can minimize conflicts with foot-ball, and we have two young sprinters inTroy Jensen (sophomore - Santa Ana,Calif.) and Billy Flynt (sophomore - PlatteCity, Mo.) that could also make an impact.

Q: HOW WILL AIR FORCE MATCH UP INTHE FIELD EVENTS?A: Senior Tim Hughes (Royal Oak, Mich.)gives us a consistent conference scorer inthe high jump - he's scored in six consecu-tive MWC indoor and outdoor champi-onship meets. We should be the strongestwe've ever been in the horizontal jumps, astwo-time MWC champion Anthony Park(Las Vegas, Nev.) returns for his seniorseason and will not be distracted by condi-tioning for football as in previous years.Chris Banks (senior - Culpeper, Va.) is oneof the most improved athletes I've everworked with over his first three years and ifhe continues to improve at the samerate...he will have a banner season.

2004 MEN’S PREVIEW

Seniors Dave Hoffecker (javelin -Sevierville, Tenn.), Steven "Buddy" Lizzol(discus - Seneca, Kan.) and Jason McNeal(hammer - Woods Creek, Utah) lead ourrelatively young group of throwers.Freshmen Jason Perkins (Phoenix, Ariz.)and Mark "Buck" Koalenz (San Antonio,Texas) were both ranked among the top-10high school discus throwers in the countryin 2003. They both could make huge con-tributions for us after spring football is com-pleted in late-March. Freshman javelinthrower Matt Schwandt (Manhattan, Kan.)is one of the best prospects we've everbrought to USAFA and he has the potentialto 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 beamong the conference leaders in both theheptathlon (indoors) and decathlon (out-doors). Junior Caleb Pelger (Peabody,Mass.) has made huge improvements inthe combined events as well. With theNCAA making the indoor heptathlon achampionship event in 2004, Jim Campbell(senior - Portage, Mich.) will not be able todefend his conference title in the pen-tathlon nor contest the combined event indeference to concentrating on the hurdleevents.

Q: WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ONTHE MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCETHIS SEASON?A: BYU and Colorado State should be theoverwhelming favorites (on paper) basedon their 2003 performances, but I believe inour team's ability to challenge them for theconference team title this year. Both NewMexico and Wyoming appear to be signifi-cantly improved this year, as well.

Q: WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF THETEAM'S SCHEDULE?A: We don't have as many scored meets aswe've traditionally had, but I believe wehave the best schedule possible to prepareour team for the MWC Championships.Highlights on our schedule include travel-ing to the PAC-10 Invitational in Seattleduring the indoor season, and then to theStanford Invitational, Mt SAC Relays andDrake Relays during the outdoor season.

We will have five home meets during theindoor season and two during the outdoorschedule. That's as many as we've everhad at the Academy. We're expecting anumber of NCAA-qualifying performancesat the Cadet Field House (indoor season)and at the Cadet Track and Field Complex(outdoor season).

2004 WOMEN’SPREVIEW

Q&A With Head CoachRalph Lindeman

Note: Head coach Ralph Lindeman satdown and previewed the upcomingwomen’s season during a question andanswer session.

Q: WHAT WILL THE STRENGTHS OFTHE AIR FORCE WOMEN BE IN 2004?A: The throwing events will definitely be ourstrongest - the four throwing events are ourwomen's best opportunity to score in theMountain West Conference and to qualifyfor the NCAA Championship competition.Junior Dominique Boivin (Shoreline,Wash.) is the defending MWC champion inthe discus throw and could be among thenational leaders this year.

Dana Pounds (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) bare-ly missed qualifying for the NCAAChampionships last year as a freshman.Junior Lacy DeWall (Bismark, N.D.) couldalso be among the national leaders in thejavelin, if she can bounce back from aseries of surgeries to her foot and elbow.Senior Jessica Perez (Fullerton, Calif.) isanother returning conference scorer andNCAA qualifier from a year ago.

Then there's Olivia Korte (Seneca, Kan.).She could make a huge impact on theFalcons' success in the throwing events asjust a freshman.

Q: HOW WILL THE FALCONS FARE INTHE DISTANCE EVENTS?A: This has been our strength over theyears and 2004 should be no exception.Senior Anne Chumlea (Enon, Ohio) willlead us in the distance races, while seniorKelly McPherson (RAF Mildenhall,England.) and junior Cindy Dawson (Yreka,Calif.) will pace us in the middle distanceraces. Senior Jean Taylor (Florissant, Mo.)could finish her year as the best steeple-chaser the Academy has had in the shorthistory of the event on the women's level.We have a terrific group of freshmen mid-dle distance and distance runners as well.

Q: HOW WILL THE FALCONS PERFORMIN THE SPRINTS?A: Historically, we have had trouble match-ing up with our opponents in these twoareas, but I believe that this season weshould see the best sprint-hurdle crew thatwe have seen in years. Junior Jami Hodge(Sachese, Texas) is developing into one ofthe fastest sprinters that the Air ForceAcademy has ever seen.

Q: HOW WILL AIR FORCE DO IN THEHURDLE EVENTS?Hurdlers Rachael McIntosh (junior -Stafford, Va.), Paula Maffey (junior - LasVegas, Nev.) and Jen Neville (sophomore -Cold Spring, N.Y.) all have the potential toscore in the conference meet - withMcIntosh competing in the 100-meter hur-dles and Maffey and Neville taking part inthe 400-meter hurdles. Freshman DierraPoland (Deptford, N.J.) has shown tremen-dous potential in the 100-meter hurdles, aswell. She is also expected to compete inthe high jump and long jump.

Q: HOW WILL AIR FORCE MATCH UP INTHE FIELD EVENTS?A: In addition to the throwing events thatwe’ve already mentioned, the Falcons willbe vastly improved in the jumps. LaTraviaRobinson (Waynesboro, Ga.) returns forher senior season, already holding USAFAschool records in the long jump (outdoors)and triple jump (indoors). After enduringthe 2003 season without a single highjumper, the Falcons will have a depth chartat least five-deep in that event during 2004.

(First-year) assistant coach (1Lt.) JakeGensic is working with a very talentedgroup of young pole vaulters this season.

2004 WOMEN’SPREVIEW

Junior Erin Richardson (Colorado Springs,Colo.) returns to the lineup along withsophomore Amy Gilliland (Tyrone, Pa.).They will be joined by a promising fresh-man, Becky Stone (Danville, Calif.).

Q: WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THIS YEAR’SFRESHMAN CLASS?A: Our coaching staff has paid a lot ofattention to recruiting females to USAFA forour track and field program. We believethat we may have our best freshman classever. Individuals like Dierra Poland andOlivia Korte have the potential to score inthe Mountain West Conference right away.

Q: HOW DOES THE LEADERSHIP OFTHE SENIOR CLASS HELP THIS TEAM?A: We not only have terrific senior leader-ship on our women’s team in team captainsAnne Chumlea (distances), Jessica Perez(throws) and LaTravia Robinson (jumps),but we also have several juniors who arestepping up into leadership roles as well.Juniors like Cindy Dawson (distances),Dominique Boivin (throws) and Jami Hodge(sprints) have each taken on a leadershiprole in their event groups.”

Q: WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ONTHE COMPETITION FROM THE MOUN-TAIN WEST CONFERENCE?A: BYU, Colorado State and San DiegoState should be the dominant teams in2004...as they've been over the past fewyears. Wyoming is vastly improved andshould be in the top half of the conferenceas well. Our hope is that we can be the'best of the rest' and finish over UNLV, NewMexico and Utah in the conference cham-pionships. This goal may be more realisticduring the outdoor season than during theindoor schedule, given our point potentialin the throwing events.

Of course, we love having the conferenceindoor championships on our track (at theCadet Field House). It gives our team achance to showcase their performances totheir peers in the Cadet Wing. Being in ourhome environment raises the level of ourperformance.

TWO-SPORTATHLETES

One of the trademarks of the Falcons' success in track and field over the years hasbeen the number of dual-sport athletes who have competed for them.

According to Falcon head coach, Ralph Lindeman, "We've been fortunate thatcoaches like Fisher DeBerry (football), Luis Sagastume (soccer), Ardie McInelly(women's basketball) and Penny Lucas-White (volleyball) have been willing toallow some of their athletes to miss their spring seasons so that they may dedicatethemselves to success in track & field. There's a spirit of cooperation amongstcoaches here at the Academy that I don't believe exists at any other NCAA DivisionI universities when it comes to sharing student-athletes."

Lindeman adds, "It takes a very special commitment to excellence to compete inmore than one sport at the NCAA Division I level, and especially at the Air ForceAcademy, where there are additional demands of military training and exceptional-ly large class loads when compared to other universities. These are very specialstudent-athletes."

Of course, we can't talk about two-sport ath-letes without mentioning the 40 cadet-athleteswho run on the men's and women's crosscountry teams in the fall- their training andcompetition go on year-round, and the Falcondistance runners have played a huge role in thesuccess of the Falcons' track teams.

*Air Force football*

It was a remarkable season for the Air Force cross country program in 2003, as themen's team won its first MWC championship, placed third at the NCAA Regionalsand advanced to the NCAA Championships, finishing eighth at the national finals.

Placing no worse than second in any invitational during the regular season, theFalcons ended the season ranked higher than any team since 1967, when ArneArneson 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 atthe national championships in the last four years after finishing third in the NCAAMountain Regional Championships. Four runners earned all-region honors.

Another highlight of the 2003 season came at the Mountain West ConferenceChampionships, when the Air Force men earned its first MWC title in school history,ending BYU's string of six consecutive conference championships. Six runnersearned all-conference honors, led by conference runner-up Ben Payne, and headcoach 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 champi-onships - 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.

Athletic Opportunities Upon Graduation...

Every two years, the Air Force sponsors 20-30 athletes to trainfor a berth in the next Olympic Games (two years for the summersports and two years for the winter sports). Athletes for this pro-gram must be of Olympic caliber: that is, the National GoverningBody (NGB) must recognize the athletes chosen for World ClassAthlete Program (WCAP) as having a legitimate chance at attain-ing an Olympic berth.

Athletes who meet the criteria are then placed in a special dutyassignment for a two-year period preceding the Olympic games.The initiation of this program was in 1995, modeled after theArmy’s existing program. It was developed after seeing a declinein the amount of Armed Forces members achieving Internationalathletic prowess; specifically, the number of Olympic medalsawarded to these members.

What does this mean for track and field athletes? Simply put,high caliber athletes graduating from the Academy have a uniqueopportunity to continue training in their sport. Not only do you getthe time off to train the way an elite athlete needs to train, but youalso get all of the support. A section of Air Force services calledAF Sports selects these athletes and takes care of all the equip-ment, training supplies and travel for the athletes. The athleteschoose where they would like to train to get the best benefit fromcoaching and training partners.

This is an excellent opportunity for Air Force graduates to con-tinue to participate in athletics. Since 1998, over 30 athleteshave been chosen for the WCAP. Of these, nine were track andfield athletes ranging from the marathon to the decathlon. All ofthese athletes now have the unique freedom of serving the mili-tary as an elite athlete.

In 1998, five former cadet-athletes were chosen for the WCAP;Lieutenants Eric Mack (1996), Marcus Nichols (1997), NickMacFalls (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 1995.

TRACKIN’ A ROCKET!

Capt Jeff Kuzma is a space engineer who’s worked on rock-ets, but for the last year, he’s focused on turning his bodyinto a rocket for a shot at gold in the 2000 Olympics. Thecaptain entered the World Class Athlete Program in 1999.

“It’s a once in a lifetime deal, but it shows the great life inthe Air Force. Good things happen to people who keeptheir options open,” Kuzma said.

What’s it like to work hard and earn track glory? “At thebeginning, there was a nervousness, lining up with guys I’dseen only on TV. I did not see myself at that level, just asan engineer. The more I train, my mentality is not ‘justhappy to be here,’ especially within the last few months. It’staken me awhile. Now it’s “Why not me’?”

The captain’s spouse is supportive. “We realized this is myprimary job and we’ll do it up right. She knows what I’mgearing up to do. She was at the Milrose Games.”

Ah, yes, those Y2K Air Force Milrose Games--the undisput-ed blue chip of track and field competition. “That was unbe-lievable, my first breakthrough, nationally televised, the old-est and biggest in the world. There was a great field. Thisguy called me up and asked me to be part of an 800-meterteam. Others said, “We never heard of him.” The guy washesitant,” ready to give the young captain the bum’s rush.

Instead of the cold shoulder, they put him in. “The recruitingguys were there, and I did a youth athletic clinic. I wentfrom being a no one to photo shoots, and all that stuff,” thecaptain said. “The recruiters thought ‘it’s nice he’s here buthow will he do?’ I got second. They were just going crazy.”

Will he say in the near future “Beam me up!” to anotherspace engineering job? Will he continue to pursue furthertrack success? With a healthy seven-week-old, right now,the captain says, as always, he’s keeping his options open.

MOUNTAIN WESTCONFERENCE

The MWC was conceived on May 26,1998, when eight teams announced theywere breaking away from the WesternAthletic Conference. Those teams - AirForce, Brigham Young, Colorado State,New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utahand Wyoming - brought immediate credibil-ity to their new league.

From a team perspective, when the eightschools splintered off and created theMountain West Conference, they took thebackbone of the WAC with them. Half werecharter members of the WAC when it wasfounded in 1962: Utah, BYU, New Mexicoand Wyoming. Colorado State (1968) andSan Diego State (1978) both competed asWAC members for at least two decades,while Air Force (1980) was also a long-standing member. Only UNLV, which joinedthe WAC during its expansion in 1996, wasa newcomer.

The split from the former 16-team WACsignaled the end to an unwieldy nine-state,five-time zone conference. However, theMountain West Conference has maintainedits geographic diversity. Some of the mostbeautiful geography in the nation can befound within Mountain West Conferenceboundaries, including the unparalleled

Rocky Mountain range, which borders fourMWC schools (Utah, BYU, Air Force andColorado State). The high plains ofWyoming (elevation 7,000 feet) contrastwith the desert city of Las Vegas (thefastest growing metropolitan area in theWest), the balmy weather and PacificOcean locale of San Diego State and thesouthwestern flavor of New Mexico.

The Conference officially began operationson July 1, 1999. Prior to opening it doorsan executive committee was establishedand named Craig Thompson commission-er. Thompson had less than one-year toname the new league, settle on a city toserve as the league's headquarters, find atelevision partner, arrange for bowl tie-ins,hire staff, and develop a logo.

Hence the Mountain West Conference wasformed. Located in Colorado Springs,Colo., when the conference's doorsopened for business the new league had inplace a seven-year contract with ESPN giv-ing the broadcaster exclusive national tele-vision rights to MWC football and men'sbasketball; and three-year agreements tosend the league's football champion to theLiberty Bowl.

TIMFRITZ

The Cadet Field House is considered one of the top athletic facilitiesin the country. This multi-purpose facility, built in 1968, houses theindoor track, basketball arena, and ice hockey rink for intercollegiatesports. The indoor track area seats 1,000 for home track meets.

The track is a full-pour polyurethane surface (resurfaced in 1995 byMartin Surfacing), 268m (6 laps/mile), with eight lanes on the straight-away and six lanes on the oval. Inside the oval is an astroturf sur-face that includes polyurethane runways for the pole vault and hori-zontal jumps and a synthetic rubber approach and take-off area forthe high jump, along with a throwing cage. For track meets, the fieldhouse is equipped with a full-size Daktronics track scoreboard andmessage center along with event-specific AAE field event score-boards, and an Omega Hawkeye computerized timing system.

The instrumentation and method used for measuring the throws weredeveloped and used by Leica for the 1996 Olympic Games. Thehighly accurate survey instrument measures electronically the dis-tance from the ring to the marked position of the throw. The instru-ment measures to the exact millimeter, but rounds the distance to thenext lower centimeter. The instrument records the measurementalong with the coordinates of the marked position and the time of thethrow, and sends the result by radio to the judges.

In July 1997, the Air Force Academy’s Class of 1976 commissionedregional artist Michael Esch to paint an eight panel canvas repre-senting the life of an Air Force Academy cadet over four years. Eachcanvas is a 40 foot by 40 foot panel, painted in acrylic enamel thatportray the realism of Academy life since 1976. The panels hang onthe northwest wall of the Cadet Field House indoor track and are agift to the Academy’s Athletic Department.
