Story by Michelle EberhartAssistant Editor

Over the past five years, the Center for Nation Reconstruction and Capacity Development in the Department of Systems Engineering at the U.S. Military Academy has had three faculty members who have earned Fulbright Scholarships.

The Fulbright Scholar Program is an international exchange program designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries. The Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, and awards approximately 8,000 grants annually—Roughly 1,200 of which are granted to U.S. scholars.

Over the past five years, John Farr, Bruce Keith and Kenny McDonald of the CNRCD have been awarded Fulbright scholarships to pursue their research across the globe, from Vietnam to Africa to the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

Col. Robert Kewley, department head of Systems Engineering, says their work reflects the mission of the department and the CNRCD.

“Dr. Farr, Dr. Keith and Dr. McDonald recognized the value of the Fulbright experience and went the extra mile to apply and find these great applications of our discipline outside the United States,” Kewley explained. “It really attests to their commitment to the Center’s mission of capacity building.”

According to the CNRCD web page, capacity building is a “continuous, gradual and demonstrable movement toward self-sufficiency” whose ultimate goal is to “strengthen national systems so that communities, nations or regions are capable of effectively responding

to short-term shocks and long-term stressors.” Staying true to the Center’s goal, the

Fulbright winners studied a wide range of issues in each location and have worked to resolve problems to help those other nations achieve self-sufficiency.

“Almost all of our research is designed to try to develop infrastructure, economics, education, and to provide opportunities,” Farr said, who spent the summer of 2013 assisting in the reform and assessment of the engineering curriculum at the University of Technical Education in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Farr was the first of the three scholars to receive the Fulbright scholarship and after returning from his trip, he urged his colleagues to apply as well.

“We put a priority on it, we wanted to tackle meaningful problems,” Farr noted. “Like Dr. Keith’s, he took his sabbatical and spent a year in Ethiopia. For me, Vietnam was a tremendous opportunity to go do something meaningful, and what Dr. McDonald is doing in the Marshall Islands can dramatically impact the youth in much of that area.”

Keith spent last year teaching water resource management to Ph.D. students in Ethiopia, working on resource management in Sub- Saharan Africa, and studying issues concerning human displacement due to population growth and climate change in Africa.

“More than anything else, it’s been an eye opener. It has created an opportunity to build an international network base to pull cadets into projects that have been quite meaningful,” Keith said of the Fulbright experience. “It was a great opportunity for me to expand my knowledge base, to go out and work with people who see things differently than I do, to empathize with the challenges they will encounter and to

determine where there might be intersections that support both the cadets’ research and my research.”

Due to the partnerships he made during his Fulbright experience, Keith says he may have opportunities to continue research in this area with cadets into the future.

“Whenever you put cadets in a place that’s outside the classroom, somewhere else in the world, it helps them understand what they’re getting into and the challenges that will confront them in their careers. I think that’s a pretty good thing,” Keith added.

McDonald, the most recent of the Fulbright recipients, shares that sentiment as he is currently in the Republic of the Marshall Islands through Nov. 15 and will be joined by cadets from Sunday-Nov. 11.

“It’s important, from our perspective in the Center, that cadets are doing research to get on the ground,” he explained. “They need to get on the ground in order to understand the culture and the people to come up with solutions to these problems.”

McDonald has done previous research in the Marshall Islands, studying in Kwajalein Atoll, the location of the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Site, as well as the poverty-stricken city of Ebeye, working on education and infrastructure. His Fulbright Specialist grant will be used to support the College of the Marshall Islands’ education outreach and will offer a framework for a cadet capstone project.

“Since the beginning of the semester we’ve begun our systems design process which we use to create solutions for problems,” said Class of 2017 Cadet Kayla Carpenter, who will be

joining McDonald in the Marshall Islands. “We’ve done a lot of research and stakeholder analysis to prepare, including literature reviews and stakeholder interviews.”

Recently, McDonald, Carpenter and Class of 2017 Cadet Andrew Maillet had a meeting in Washington D.C. with Deputy Chief of Mission in the Marshall Islands, Sarah Nelson, who said that this project will be the first Fulbright in the region and the research will be crucial in the Islands’ future.

“It’s very unique for three Fulbrights in such a close period of time,” McDonald added. “I think it just shows the importance and the value outside our realm in the Academy. Other agencies are seeing the importance of what we’re doing in the Department of Systems Engineering.”

One agency that sees the importance is the U.S. Army, who has strategic interest in the work of the Fulbright scholars.

“The Army cares about emerging countries and developing societies because from the roots is where the next generation of problems are going to come from,” Farr explained. “The more we can take on now and really improve peoples’ lives, the less tension and conflict we’re going to have.”

Regardless of the location of the Fulbright research, each scholar feels similarly about the work they’ve been able to do.

“It makes a difference,” Farr noted. “We want to be able to impact peoples’ lives positively and being able to go to a place and do something that really impacts people in a positive way—that makes you passionate about your job.”

Cadets attempt to conquer the Indoor Obstacle Course Test

Cadets attempt various climbing manuevers during the Indoor Obstacle Course Test Oct. 28. The IOCT is a graduation requirement and given to cadets from their sophomore to senior years at West Point. Plebes take the Military Movement Test.

Story and photo by Kathy EastwoodStaff Writer

Roughly 500 cadets lined up by Hayes Gym for the Indoor Obstacle Course Test Oct. 28. The IOCT is a graduation requirement and is given to cadets each year from their sophomore year to their senior year. Plebes take a Military Movement Test.

The test consists of 11 obstacles beginning with the low crawl, proceeding to the tire run, two-handed vault, 8-foot horizontal shelf, horizontal bar navigation and hanging tires. Then it’s the balance beam, vertical wall, ladder climb, rope climb and a round around the track with a medicine ball for the first lap, a baton, and then finishing empty handed.

Cadets go into the test looking confident and ready to go. By the time the test is finished, so are they.

“I’m hurting,” Class of 2019 Cadet Austin Almond said. “The track is tough and running the bars. This is the first time I’ve taken this test. Last year it was Military Movement, but here I’m graded on it.”

The IOCT test is run eight times a year to get through the Corps of Cadets.

The number of cadets going through the test differs each time the test is run.

“It does vary from test to test,” Dr. Lynn Fielitz, assistant professor in the Department of Physical Education, said. “The IOCT is a graduation requirement which they have to take each year from their sophomore year. However, if a cadet can run faster than 2:38 for a male or 3:35 for a female in their junior year, they don’t have to take the IOCT test in their senior year.”

This past April, 2nd Lt. Joshua Bassett, a

2016 USMA graduate, broke the IOCT record that stood since 2000 with a time of 2:01. In 2000, the time was 2:02.

Cadets must meet minimum performance

standard of 3:30 (males) or 5:29 (females) by the end of the academic year in order to remain proficient in the Physical Program with their class.

The IOCT is administered by the Department of Physical Education. Cadets may retest the IOCT for grade replacement and are permitted to retake the IOCT any time it is offered.

Department of Energy to recognize capstone project By Col. John Graham Associate Dean for Research

Half way into first semester and cadet project preparation is in full swing.

“My team is on its third In Progress Review,” Nuclear Engineering major, Class of 2017 Cadet Tom Parker, said. “We are designing a small nuclear powered device, called a Radioisotope thermoelectric generator, for forward operation bases.”

Their goal is to be ready by May 4, 2017 to brief the Army.In an exciting development, Projects Day 2017 will feature

a new award that’s been established by the Department of Energy’s Federal Energy Management Program. This award will be presented to the capstone team whose project has the largest impact on energy consumption within the Army, with secondary emphasis on originality and new design.

“A large part of FEMP’s mission is to stimulate and support energy conservation efforts within the federal government,” Timothy Unruh, the program’s director, said. “With the armed forces being the largest federal energy consumer, it’s natural for our program to engage current and future military leaders at the country’s service academies, including West Point.”

Toward that end, FEMP has been sponsoring researchers from DOE national laboratories to work with faculty and cadets in a variety of ways that support the academies’ missions: providing subject matter experts for capstone teams; hosting cadets at the labs as summer interns; and inviting faculty and cadet teams to

visit the lab for conferences with senior researchers. Class of 2018 Cadet Madison Stark has taken on a unique

project in her junior year, “I am working with Nike on a new boot that harvests energy while informing the user with key sensors.”

Dan Howett (USMA ’87) is an engineer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and has been the program’s liaison to West Point.

“It’s been exciting to see the quality of capstone projects from across the departments. And as an energy engineer, it’s especially gratifying to see the number which have energy conservation as a theme,” Howett said.

The award’s judging criteria are fairly straightforward:

• Project’s impact on energy consumption in battalion-sized units;

• Breadth of project’s application across units of various types and sizes throughout the Army;

• Innovative significance of the project (evolutionary vs. revolutionary);

• Potential impact of the project on Army-wide energy consumption in the upcoming 10 years.

Interested capstone teams should submit an abstract no later than April 14. These will be reviewed by DOE engineers, and finalists will be selected to make formal presentations on Projects Day. The winner will be announced that afternoon.

New sensors and cameras may help defeat improvised threats

Beyond west Point

By C. Todd LopezArmy News Service

Earlier this month, the Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Organization held an open house at Fort Belvoir, setting up display tables on a field overlooking the bank of the Potomac River.

More than a dozen programs from academia, industry and the government’s own labs were on display, highlighting the best of what JIDO is involved with in the way of countering improvised threats, improvised explosive devices, enemy use of unmanned aerial vehicles, and helping to support the counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency missions of combatant commanders.

The “Dream Catcher” program, for instance, aims to make it easier for those running security outside a forward operating base to identify would-be threats well before they approach the checkpoint.

“The notion behind the Dream Catcher project is this can be used as a system to identify people trying to get into a restricted access area,” a program spokesperson said. “If you’re in a scenario where you’ve got people that are supposed to be there, you bring them in and enroll them into a very high-definition scan. And if somebody is approaching the

gate, you can reach out and see them ... and you can get identification on them. If you have somebody driving in with a passenger, and you recognize the driver and you don’t recognize the passenger, you can say these guys need to get diverted over to the secondary screening.”

The Dream Catcher project aims to fuse together input from multiple sensors—well before they get close enough to do harm—and match that information against what’s already stored in a database. Anybody who’s not already in the system would put security personnel on alert.

Tethered Airborne Mine DetectionSet up near a Husky Vehicle Mounted

Mine Detection System was the “On-the-Move Exploitation and Reconnaissance” system. They called it “MOVER” for short.

For the moment, the MOVER consists of a Humvee with a camera-enabled unmanned aerial vehicle tethered to its front end. While the Husky VMMD system uses ground-penetrating radar to discover land mines, it moves slowly. And it’s radar system has to be over the top of the land mine in order to detect it.

The goal of MOVER is “forward-looking” detection, rather than the Husky VMMD’s right-over-the-top detection, said a MOVER

spokesperson.Right now, the MOVER is in developmental

stages. The tethered UAV it currently uses is commercially available, and used elsewhere to inspect powerlines. But when implemented, the MOVER system will consist of a tethered UAV with more than just visible sensors, but also long-wave and thermal as well.

Route clearance teams will be able to use the system to see the ground ahead of them, from up in the air, while moving at full speed. Sensors onboard the UAV would see in multiple spectrums to look for earth that has been disturbed.

And imagery taken from the UAV could be compared to imagery taken from the last time the route was cleared, to see if any changes could be detected that might indicate emplacement of explosive threats. Software would handle such comparisons.

The Husky VMMD will still look for mines, but it could move much faster than it does now, the spokesperson said, because the MOVER would essentially be calling out the stretches of road that are safe, and indicating when the Husky should slow down so that it could more cautiously approach a suspected explosive emplacement.

This unmanned aerial vehicle is currently part of the “On-the-Move Exploitation and Reconnaissance” system, called “MOVER” for short. The system, in development now, puts a tethered UAV onto a tactical vehicle. The UAV can then fly above and in front of the tactical vehicle while it conducts route clearance missions. The system was on display, Oct. 12, 2016, at Fort Belvoir, Va., as part of a demonstration of projects done in partnership with the Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Organization.

2016-17 Cadet Club Activities

Civil & Military Engineering: On Oct. 29, members of the Civil & Military Engineering Club visited the CPV Valley Energy construction site in Middletown, New York. This was a follow-up event to the ASCE Business Dinner (Sept. 21).

The club cadets who made the trip were Class of 2017 Cadet Jager Metz; Class of 2018 Cadets Almond Austin, Ben Parmer, Collin Wiener; Class of 2019 Cadet Alex Belardo-Flowers; Class of 2020 Cadets Daniel Chung, Lee Cox and Sean Doyle with the OIC Mr. Rahul Verma. The cadets had the opportunity to interact with professional engineers and observe construction that spanned several classroom topics—steel, concrete, hydrology, geotechnical and construction management.

Triathlon: The Army West Point Triathlon team successfully defended its position as the Ironman 70.3 Collegiate National Champions in Austin, Texas Sunday. This was the eighth consecutive championship.

Eighteen members of the team completed the event, which included a 56-mile bike and a 13.1-mile run. Class of 2019 Cadets Anna De Vries and Hailey Conger (left) were the first and second place in the collegiate women category while Class of 2017 Cadets Paul O’Donnell and Dylan Varrato were second and third place in the collegiate men category.

Anna and Hailey also earned qualification spots to the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Chattanooga, Tennessee in September 2017.

IN FOCUS: CADET CLUB ACTIVITIES

360 ViewportRight now, there are only a few cameras

found onboard the Stryker combat vehicle.In some cases, there may be a camera

available as part of a Common Remotely Operated Weapon System. There may also be a camera for commanders to use and to look around at what’s going on outside the vehicle.

Others inside the vehicle can also make use of built-in periscopes to see what’s going on outside.

But to get full awareness of what’s going on outside the Stryker, Soldiers routinely drive around with their head sticking out of the top of two ports on the vehicle—which exposes them to danger.

The Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate, along with the Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Command, or TARDEC, are working to fix that for Soldiers, to provide them 360 degrees of situational awareness through the use of video cameras mounted on the outside of the Stryker.

On the Stryker kitted-up at Fort Belvoir, there were six video cameras mounted on the

vehicle's outside. Three were on the front, one on each side, and one on the rear of the vehicle. The cameras provide 180 degrees of visibility to the driver—more than the driver currently has—and 360 to the commander of the vehicle and others aboard.

Through the use of software enhancement, those cameras will allow Soldiers inside the Stryker to see through dust that might be kicked up by other vehicles that are traveling in advance, and to also detect muzzle flash, so they can determine where threats might be, a spokesperson for the project said.

While the project is now in the testing phases, the same spokesperson said he thinks if the project comes to fruition, those cameras will display their imagery on video screens that are already onboard the Stryker, rather than on new screens that would need to be installed. He also said project engineers are interested in development of head-worn displays—goggles for instance—that would allow Soldiers inside the vehicle to look around while seated in the vehicle, and see what's going on outside, as though they could see through the hull.

competed against athletes from Centenary University, Drew University, Marist College, Sarah Lawrence College, SUNY New Paltz, Stevens Institute of Technology, Vassar College and William Paterson.

The team finished fourth overall, only one point behind the third-place team. Early in the show, Class of 2020 Cadet Charlotte Hereford won first place in Novice Equitation over Fences and Class of 2017 Cadet Merle Kreye (German exchange cadet) placed third in Intermediate Equitation over Fences.

Hereford would later place third in Novice Equitation on the Flat and Kreye would go on to place second in Intermediate Equitation on the Flat. Class of 2019 Cadet Matilda Brady placed third in Novice Equitation on the Flat.

Class of 2020 Cadet Robert Seals took first place in Beginner Walk/Trot/Canter Equitation, his second consecutive win of the season. In Walk/Trot Equitation, Class of 2017 Cadets Mike Murray and Kyle Many placed first and second, respectively.

‘Thank you for your service’: Commissaries celebrate the military with special promotions in NovemberBy the Defense Commissary Agency

Commissaries worldwide are featuring special promotions in November including high-value coupon booklets for free frozen turkeys that help recognize the sacrifi ces of military service.

“Our military families face hardships each and every day, whether it is another deployment separating families, trying to make ends meet on a tight budget, or being stationed overseas far away from home,” Tracie Russ, the Defense Commissary Agency’s sales director, said.

“This November we recognize all our military—active duty, Guard and Reserve and retirees—and their family members. And to all the war veterans who have fought for our freedom and the right to live in a free democracy in America,” she added. “The commissaries will be showing their thanks through military veterans’ commemoration ceremonies, Veterans Day holiday weekend sales and our seasonal promotions throughout November.”

One of the month’s biggest promotions is the annual free turkey event worldwide included in high-value coupon booklets. The free turkey promotion coincides with special discounted fresh turkeys available in all stores. Patrons are reminded to check out the online Sales Flyer at www.commissaries.com or get a copy at the store entrance.

Throughout November, the commissary’s industry partners—vendors, suppliers and

brokers—are collaborating with stores to offer discounts beyond everyday savings. Overseas stores may have substitute events for certain promotional programs. Customers are asked to check their local commissary for details on dates and times for the following promotions:

• “Your Turkey Could Be Free” coupon booklet! This worldwide promotion revolves around a 24-page recipe booklet with coupons valued at more than $59. The coupons provide commissary shoppers with signifi cant savings or free turkeys when purchasing their holiday meal essentials.

• Fresh turkeys at low prices will be available at stateside commissaries beginning Nov. 19, while supplies last. Check out the sales fl yer on www.commissaries.com for details.

• “Celebrate the Holidays” with General Mills. This holiday cooking and baking event will be supported with high value in-store coupons.

• NFL Gift Card. With any purchase of four Campbell’s Chunky soup or chili can items, patrons can enter for a chance to win a $100 NFL Gift Card when they use their Commissary Rewards Card.

• Army-Navy football tickets. Through Nov. 15, Nabisco will be offering a chance to win one of 20 pairs of tickets to the Army-Navy Game when patrons use their Commissary Rewards Card. The game is being played Dec. 10 in Baltimore. Travel and hotel expenses will not be covered for the winners.

Sports calendar Corps Squad

Fourth quarter surge lifts Army past Wake ForestsPorts

By Matt FaulknerArmy Athletic Communications

The Army West Point Football team earned a much-needed victory Oct. 29, 21-13, over host Wake Forest in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

The win ended the Demon Deacons’ nine-game winning streak over the Black Knights, and shifted Army to 5-3 on the season.

In the back-and-forth affair, Army used a 14-3 edge in the final frame to secure its third road victory of the season and first win over Wake Forest since 1989.

The Black Knights slightly outgained the Demon Deacons 383 yards to 343 yards. Leading the way for Army was Ahmad Bradshaw, who posted 65 rushing and 145 yards passing in the game.

Edgar Poe was back to his old self, racking up 122 yards in the air for the Cadets.

The defense held Wake Forest to just 3-of-13 on third-down conversions.

Army highlights and game notes• Army moves to 5-3 on the year.• The Black Knights defeated an FBS

Power 5 school on the road for the first time since defeating Duke in 2010.

• The Black Knights had three interceptions in a game for the first time since registering a trio of picks against Temple in their opener.

• Edgar Poe recorded a season-high 122 yards receiving and earned his first score of the year.

• Bradshaw was Army’s top rusher, but Andy Davidson, Kell Walker and Darnell Woolfolk all followed closely with 47, 45 and 42 yards, respectively.

• Jeremy Timpf and Rhyan England posted nine tackles each to lead the Black Knight defense.

• Army’s defense has forced a turnover in all eight games this season.

• Trey Neville and Thai Wright were named Scout Players of the Week after their performance on the practice field and had the honor of carrying out American flags before the game.

Career Milestones• Bradshaw’s pass to Poe at the 7:54 mark

of the first quarter was career long 43-yard TD toss for the junior.

• Poe recorded a career high 122 receiving yards.

• Malik McGue returned a 42-yard punt by the Demon Deacons a career-long 58 yards to put the Black Knights in good field position early in the second quarter.

• Jaylon McClinton recorded his first career interception with 9:25 remaining in the game.

Turning Point • McClinton’s pick off midway through

the final frame sparked another Black Knights touchdown, which ultimately sealed the visitor’s their first win in Winston-Salem in seven tries.

How it happened

• After forcing the Demon Deacons to punt, the Black Knights took over at the Wake Forest 48-yard line. On the first play of the drive, Bradshaw teamed up with Poe for Army’s first score of the game.

• The Demon Deacons took over the ball at their own 31-yard line after stopping the Black Knights on 4th-and-5. The home team then marched 69 yards on nine plays, where Wolford completed a pass to Tabari Hines, to knot the score at 7-7.

• On the third play of scrimmage out of halftime, Army fumbled on its own 35-yard line, handing Wake Forest good field position. The Black Knights defense stepped up though and forced the Demon Deacons to settle for a 37-yard field goal.

• Bradshaw handed Army back its lead when he finished off an 11-yard rush into the back of the endzone. The scoring summary for that drive was nine plays for 88 yards.

• Following an interception in the fourth quarter from McClinton on its own 40, Army added another score when Woolfolk rushed up the middle for six yards and six points. During that conversion the Black Knights ate up nearly six and a half minutes of clock with their 12-play, 60-yard drive.

• With little time remaining, Wake Forest tried to answer but had to settle for a 34-yard field goal, pulling them to within 21-13. The Demon Deacons then set up an on-side kick, but Jalen Sharp was there to recover the ball and secure the win.

Up next• The Black Knights return home to Michie

Stadium on Nov. 5 when service academy rival Air Force comes to West Point. That contest is slated for a noon start and will be carried on CBS Sports Network with Ben Holden, Jay Feely and John Schriffen on the call.

Bradshaw led the team in rushing with 65 yards and added a touchdown on the ground. His biggest play of the day was his 43-yard touchdown pass to senior receiver Edgar Poe to give the Black Knights an early 7-0 lead in the first quarter. Poe finished the game with four receptions for 122 yards, including the touchdown catch. Photo by MIChEllE EbErhart/PV

Black Knights power past Robert Morris

By Ally KeirnArmy Athletic Communications

After a two-goal first period, the Army West Point Hockey team overpowered host Robert Morris, 2-1, Oct. 29 in Moon Township, Pennsylvania.

Army highlights and game notes• The Black Knights improved to 3-2-1 overall and 3-1-0 in

Atlantic Hockey contests.• The plebes powered the Black Knights in the night’s victory

with both goals coming from the rookie class.• Zach Evancho and Brendan Soucie notched Army’s two

goals on the night which were clocked 58 seconds apart.• Captain Ryan Nick and assistant captain Tyler Pham were

awarded assists on Evancho's goal, while Trevor Fidler and Evancho had the assists for goal number two.

• In goal, Parker Gahagen faced 36 shots and had a .972 saves percentage.

• The Black Knights shine in the second period and are now 3-0 when leading after the second. It is the first victory for the Cadets in black uniforms and third in Atlantic Hockey contest.

How it happened• Army had an exciting opportunity on the power play with

7:11 left in the first period when Clint Carlisle was denied by the pipe for the second night in a row.

• After 10 minutes of play in the second period, the Evancho tapped the puck in with some help from a miscommunication between the Robert Morris defense and goaltender.

• Then exactly 58 seconds later, the Cadets struck again when Soucie put home a backdoor pass from Fidler and Evancho.

• Robert Morris cut Army’s lead to one with a goal at the 17:32 mark of the same period.

• The Black Knights were forced on the penalty kill for 4:14 after a game misconduct was charged to the Black Knights in the third.

• Gahagen once again proved to be a force between the pipes

as the Colonials maintained the puck for a majority of the final minutes of play. The firstie denied five-straight shots before the final whistle was blown to maintain the Black Knights lead and to prevent overtime.

Up Next• Army returns home Friday and Saturday to host service

academy rival Air Force. Friday night’s game will begin at 7:05 p.m., while Saturday’s is pushed back to 8:05 p.m.

Golf wraps up Price’s Give ‘Em Five InviteBy Jordan VitkauskasArmy Athletic Communications

The Army West Point Golf team finished in eighth place after the final day of the Price’s Give ‘Em Five Invitational, hosted by UTEP, Sunday in El Paso, Texas.

The Black Knights carded a team score of 284 (15 fewer strokes than Saturday) on their way to the eighth place finish.

Peter Kim shot a six-under-par 66, and tallied seven birdies over his final 18 holes.

Justin Pagila fired a one-under-par 71 during his last 18 holes.

UTEP won the event with a team score of 35-under-829.

“Peter played a great round of golf today,” head coach Brian Watts stated. “He managed his golf ball and emotions the best I’ve seen this season. He has worked extremely hard on his game and with CEP, so it’s no surprise for me to see him making positive steps with his game.

“The team overall had a disappointing

finish to the fall season. We played some great tournaments against the top teams in the county and it will hopefully pay dividends going into our spring season,” Watts added. “We know exactly what we need to work on, so you should see a lot of improvement with our scores and team finishes in the spring season. This team has a ton of talent and a no quit mentality, therefore their expectations are high and know through hard work they will have success.

“The last two rounds we had it going through holes 12-14, but didn’t finish them off. We have a tendency to play too conservative coming down the stretch which causes hesitation and inability to commit to the shots. We are going to work our tails off the next several months on routine and mental toughness. This will allow us to be better prepared for those times we seem to struggle the most,” Watts concluded. “We’re looking forward to the spring as we have a great schedule ahead of us.”

Senior Peter Kim shot a six-under-par 66, and tallied seven birdies over his final 18 holes as the Army West Point Golf team finished in eighth place after the final day of Price’s Give ‘Em Five Invitational, hosted by UTEP, Sunday in El Paso, Texas. CourtEsy Photo froM arMy athEltIC CoMMunICatIons
