Dr. Sho Fukushima, a tenured professor in Physical Education, has guided theNavy gymnastics program for the past 20 seasons with class, honor and dignity.

The numbers -- both academically and athletically -- that have been producedduring Fukushima’s tenure speak for themselves.

In the classroom, Fukushima has produced 37 Academic All-America honors,and in the athletic arena, he has coached the Mids to a total of 37 NCAA Cham-pionship qualifying performances.

“When I first arrived at the Naval Academy, there was no organization at allin the program,” Fukushima said. “I was determined to change everything in theprogram and have it fit my liking. It took nearly three years, but I was finally able toblend Midshipmen who excelled in the classroom and in the athletic arena.”

Last season, Fukushima guided Navy to its third consecutive Star as the Midsdefeated Army at West Point. He also mentored Andrew Faulk and Dylan Parrott(for the second time) to NCAA Championships appearances.

In 2009, he guided the Mids to one of their finest seasons since taking over thereigns, as they finished with an impressive 15-4 record and coached Navy to a N-Star victory at Army, in addition to its second-straight All-Academy Championship.The Midshipmen also earned their first trip as a team to the NCAA QualifyingMeet.

The accomplishments of his athletes at Navy has also brought him much de-served individual recognition as well.

In 1997-98, 1999-00, 2004-05 and 2007-08, Fukushima was named Coach ofthe Year by the National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches (NACGC)and was named Men’s Team Coach of the Year by USA Gymnastics. He was alsonamed East Region Coach of the Year by the coaches’ association and, two yearsago, was honored as the ECAC Coach of the Year.

“The individual awards are nice, but what is special when some of my formergymnasts have returned and finally thanked me for what I was able to do for themwhen they were here,” he added. “That is what makes coaching special.”

Fukushima, who owns a 213-209 (.505) all-time record, came to Navy in 1991after coaching in several places around the world.

He began his gymnastics career in Japan and moved onto other places, in-cluding the Montreal Olympics and the Verna World Championships. He hascoached five Olympians and five USA National Team members. He has also pub-lished two books on gymnastics in Sweden and England, in addition to writing nu-merous articles in Europe, Japan and the United States.

Fukushima graduated from Washington with a B.A. and M.S., and completed hisPh.D. at California in 1984. He earned the Pac-8 Conference Scholar-Athlete-of-the-Year award in 1971, while also achieving All-America status. He was Pac-10 Coachof the Year at California three times (1984,‘87,‘89) and was also NCAA Western Re-gion Coach of the Year in 1980.

Gessner, Ingram and Parrott Earn All-America Scholar-Athlete Accolades

Nate Gessner and Aaron Ingram were both recog-nized for their efforts in the classroom last seasonas each was named to the College Gymnastics As-sociation’s All-America Scholar-Athlete first team,while Dylan Parrott was named to the secondteam.

As a team, Navy ranked 11th nationally in team GPA- two spots ahead of where they ranked last sea-son.

Craig Holt enters his 13th season as Navy assistant coach. Holtbrings a wealth of experience and knowledge in the sport of gymnas-tics as both a former athlete and assistant coach.

“Navy is a program built on maximizing individual achievement forthe good of the team’s success,” Holt said. “As a team, our training is in-tense, consistent and scientific. This model helps us develop a strongbase of physical gymnastics skill, mental preparation and a strong char-acter.”

Last season, Holt was named ECAC Tri-Assistant Coach of theYear as he helped guide Dylan Parrott and Andrew Faulk to the NCAAChampionships.

In 2009, Holt assisted in helping the Midshipmen to a memorableseason, as they finished with an impressive 15-4 record and a N-Star vic-tory at Army. In addition, the Mids won their second-straight All-Acad-emy Championship, placed second at the ECAC Championship and

advanced as a team to the NCAA Qualifying Meet for thefirst time in program history.

His efforts in the gym have not gone unrecognized, as hewas named the 2007 NCAA East Region Assistant Coach ofthe Year, 2006 and ’08 USAG Collegiate Division AssistantCoach of the Year, 2007 and ‘11 ECAC Assistant Coach ofthe Year and 2007 CGA Regional Co-Assistant Coach of theYear.

During the summer of 2005, Holt coached the UnitedStates team in the 2005 Maccabiah Games in Israel. Holtguided the United States to a second-place team finish withgold medal performances in the floor exercise and pommel

horse. In addition to his coaching duties, Holt also served as a judge atthe Maccabiah Games.

Holt came to the Academy after serving as an assistant coach forone season at William & Mary and two years at his alma mater, Syracuse.

Holt’s commitment to the Navy program in and out of the gymwas recognized in 2003 as he was named the ECAC Assistant Coach ofthe Year.

“I would like all of our athletes to leave the Naval Academy know-ing that they have the tools to not only meet, but exceed all that is ex-pected of them,” he added. “They should have a strong sense ofconfidence and accomplishment as they begin their careers.”

As a gymnast, Holt was an NCAA finalist on the rings in 1994. Heis a 1995 graduate of Syracuse, where he earned a degree in physical ed-ucation. Holt earned his master’s degree in exercise physiology fromSyracuse in the summer of 2002.

SEASON PREVIEWDespite a small squad that suffered several injuries last season,the Navy gymnastics team exemplified a true fighting spirit asit sent two gymnasts to the NCAA Championships and de-feated Army for the third consecutive time. With a sizeable andtalented freshman class and six returning letterwinners withample experience, the Mids are primed to begin the 2012 sea-son.

The success, as well as adversity, the Mids faced a season agowill only make them stronger in 2012.

“We were restricted with an unusually small squad (eight) tobegin with last season,” said Navy head coach Dr. ShoFukushima. “We were also confronted with several critical in-juries, especially at the end of the season. By the start of theECAC Championship in April, we had just six gymnasts com-peting due to injury.

“But, we believed in ourselves and trusted in our fellow ship-mates and strived for the perfect performance within our ca-pabilities.”

As a result, three Mids – Andrew Faulk, Chris Junghans and thenow graduated Dylan Parrott – were selected to compete inthe NCAA Qualifying Meet. Both Faulk and Parrott both ad-vanced to the NCAA Championships.

This season, Faulk returns as the Mids’ most experienced andtalented gymnast. The seven-time ECAC medalist, who over-came a significant injury as a freshman, placed 18th in the all-around at last year’s NCAA Championships.

“Andrew is not a typical administrative leader, but he is themost decorated workhorse who has competed in the NCAAQualifying Meet the last three years,” said Fukushima. “Withhis past experience and his leadership style – lead by example– perhaps he will take the entire team to the NCAA meetwith him this season.”

The San Antonio, Texas native placed first in the all-around infive meets last season and was named the USAG CollegiateDivision National Gymnast of the Week on three occasions.

Faulk will be joined by fellow seniors Aaron Ingram and Bran-don Tinkham, giving the team three Mids with significant expe-rience.

Last season, both appeared in all nine meets and figure to con-tribute in even greater roles this season.

“Aaron and Brandon completely support the team objectivefor the 2012 season,” said Fukushima. “While they may not bedecorated like Andrew, they contribute by leading in their ownways and will definitely be noticed in three or four events thisseason.”

The team’s lone junior, Austin Zalik, competed in all nine meetsas well last season. His best finish came in the rings againstTemple where he was the top finishing Mid, tying his career-high score of 13.9.

“Austin is an especially solid performer on rings and some ofthe other five events,” said Fukushima. “His contribution in this

�� 55 ��


event is going to be great. He will also compete in the floorexercise and vault.”

Navy’s injuries and thin lineup last season allowed two fresh-men – Nate Gessner and Chris Junghans – to contribute con-siderably. As sophomores, the two Mids will call upon theirexperience last season to help them improve their roles thiswinter.

“Nate and Chris are still in the work-in-progress stage, al-though they are potentially going to surprise others,” saidFukushima.

Gessner competed on the vault in five meets last season andshould also contribute on the pommel horse in 2012.

Navy’s sizeable freshman class includes eight Midshipmen, all ofwhich will have the opportunity to contribute. The class in-cludes Caleb Achor, Trevor Carson, Thomas Goodell, Ian Gri-naski, Alex Hoersten, Jeff Sauers, Josh Steves and Eric Viscardi.

The Mids will begin the season with the Navy Open on Jan. 21at Macdonough Hall, which will include three other teams inWilliam & Mary, Temple and Springfield.

Navy will see Army in three consecutive competitions, as it willtravel north to the West Point Open on Jan. 27-28. Two week-

ends later, Navy will look for its fourth straight Star as it hostsArmy in the annual dual on Feb. 11.

The 2012 All-Academy Championships, which include thethree service academies, will take place on Feb. 18 in San Jose,Calif.

Navy will host the first of home-and-home duals with William& Mary on Feb. 26. The Mids will then make the return trip toWilliamsburg, Va., to meet the Tribe on March 4.

The Mids will host their final dual of the season on March 10when they take on Temple.

Navy's championship stretch will begin on March 30 with theUSAG Collegiate Division Championships. The two-day meetwill take place in Colorado Springs, Colo.

The ECAC Championships follow the next weekend on April6-7 in Philadelphia, Pa.

The 2012 NCAA Championships will take place in Norman,Okla., beginning with the qualifying meet on April 19. The teamand all-around finals will take place on April 20, with the indi-vidual event finals on April 21.

FIRST-RATE FACULTY & STAFFThe Naval Academy's philosophy of educationstresses attention to individual students by highlyqualified faculty members who are strongly committedto teaching. Classes are small, with an average size offewer than 18 students and a student-faculty ratio of8:1. All courses at the Naval Academy are taught andgraded by faculty members, not by graduate assistants.

Our 600-member faculty is an integrated group of officersand civilians in nearly equal numbers. Officers bringfresh ideas and experiences from operational units andstaffs of the Navy and Marine Corps. The academy's civil-ian faculty members give continuity to the educationalprogram and form a core of professional scholarship andteaching experience. Working together closely, these mili-tary and civilian faculty members form one of thestrongest and most dedicated teaching faculties of anycollege or university in the United States.

MAJORSStudents at the Naval Academy can select one of 38 differ-ent majors within 23 fields of study. The 23 fields of studyare grouped into three different divisions: Division of En-gineering and Weapons (aerospace engineering, com-puter engineering, electrical engineering, generalengineering, mechanical engineering, naval architecture,ocean engineering, systems engineering), Division ofMath and Science (chemistry, computer science, generalscience, information technology, mathematics, oceanog-raphy, physics) and the Division of Humanities and SocialScience (Arabic, Chinese, economics, English, history, po-litical science, quantitative economics). In addition tograduating with a Bachelor’s of Science, students can at-tain a minor in one of seven different languages.

Students who excel at the Naval Academy have many op-portunities to challenge and advance themselves throughseveral special programs -- Trident Scholars, Honors Pro-grams, and Voluntary Graduate Education Program(VGEP).

GRADUATION SUCCESS RATEFor the sixth year in a row, the United States Naval Acad-emy ranks among nation’s leaders for graduating NCAAstudent-athletes on the Division I level. Navy graduated100 percent of its student-athletes in 10 of the 20 NCAAsports reported on and averaged an overall rate of 96percent for student-athletes in all sports – the fourth-highest mark nationally among Football Bowl Subdivi-sion schools.

As the undergraduate college of the Naval service, theNaval Academy prepares young men and women to be-come professional officers and leaders in the U.S. Navyand Marine Corps. Naval Academy students are midship-men on active duty in the U.S. Navy. They attend the acad-emy for four years, graduating with bachelor of sciencedegrees and commissions as ensigns in the Navy or sec-ond lieutenants in the Marine Corps. Naval Academy grad-uates serve at least five years as Navy or Marine Corpsofficers.

Founded in 1845 by Secretary of the Navy George Ban-croft, the Academy started as the Naval School on 10acres of old Fort Severn in Annapolis with an originalclass of 55. In 1850 the Naval School became the UnitedStates Naval Academy. A new curriculum went into effectrequiring midshipmen to study at the Academy for fouryears and to train aboard ships each summer. Congressauthorized the Naval Academy to begin awarding bachelorof science degrees in 1933. Today, the Academy offers 23major fields of study, a wide variety of elective coursesand advanced study and research opportunities.

USNA MISSION STATEMENT“To develop midshipmen morally, mentally and physicallyand to imbue them with the highes t ideals of duty, honorand loyalty in order to graduate leaders who are dedicatedto a career of naval service and have potential for futuredeployment in mind and character to assume the highestresponsibilities of command, citizenship and govern-ment.”

From the first athletic competition played on the grid-iron in 1879 to Navy's recent triumphs, several events,people, rivalries and personalities have shaped the en-tire Naval Academy athletic program. Below is a lookat just some of the history and traditions that makeNavy one of the most storied programs in all of colle-giate athletics.

ANCHORS AWEIGH"Anchors Aweigh" was written by Lt. Charles Zimmer-mann, Musical Director of the Naval Academy in 1906,with the lyrics provided by Alfred H. Miles of the Classof 1906, as a fight song for the 1907 graduating class in-stead of the usual class march Zimmermann had com-posed for previous classes. The song made its debut atthe 1906 Army-Navy game, and when the Midshipmenwon the game, the song became traditional at this game.It gained national exposure in the 1920s and 1930s whenit was heard on the radio and was in a number of popularmovies. In 1997 a one-hour documentary on the historyof Navy football, titled "Anchors Aweigh for Honor andGlory", was produced by NFL Films. The film was deemeda success by both critics and fans alike. Here are thewords:

Stand Navy down the field,Sails set to the sky,

We'll never change our course,So Army you steer shy.Roll up the score, Navy,Anchors Aweigh,

Sail Navy down the field,And sink the Army,Sink the Army Grey

BILL THE GOATThe first recorded use of a goat mascot for Navy athleticteams was in 1893 when an animal named El Cid (TheChief) was turned over to the Brigade by young officers ofthe USS New York. El Cid helped Navy to a 6-4 triumphover Army that year. Two cats, a dog, and a carrier pigeonhave also enjoyed brief reigns as the Navy mascot, butgoats have served without interruption since 1904. BillXXXIII and XXXIV are the current mascots. They are takencare of by 15 goathandlers made up of five midshipmenfrom the first, second and third classes. The goathandlersundergo rigorous training prior to handling Bill on thefield.

BLUE & GOLDThis song was written in 1923 by Cmdr. Roy DeS. Horn,USN (Ret.) with music composed by J.W. Crosley. Follow-ing every home athletic competition, the team faces itsfans with their hands on their heart and sings the follow-ing notes:-

�� 2233 ��


Now, colleges from sea to seaMay sing of colors true;

But who has better right than weTo hoist a symbol hue?

For sailors brave in battle fair,Since fighting days of old,

Have proved the sailor's right to wearThe Navy Blue and Gold

ENTERPRISE BELLFrom the bridge of the famed World War II aircraft carrier,

it has been a part of the Naval Academy traditionsince 1950. The late Admiral Harry W. Hill, then Super-intendent, was instrumental in bringing the "E" Bell toAnnapolis. It rings during special ceremonies whenNavy scores a majority of victories over Army in anyone of the three sports seasons. The bell also ringsduring Commissioning Week for those teams that beatArmy and have not participated in a previous bell-ring-ing during the academic year. The bell is stationed infront of Bancroft Hall.

MIDSHIPMANThe word midshipman first appeared in English in the17th century in the form of the word midshipman todesignate those men who were stationed "amidships,"i.e. in the waist or middle portion of the vessel, while onduty. By 1687, however, the second 's' had beendropped to give the current form of the word. Midship-men were originally boys, sometimes as young asseven or eight, who were apprenticed to sea captains tolearn the sailor's trade.

In the early days of the American Navy, midshipmentrained aboard ship until they were eventually commis-sioned as ensigns. With the founding of the Naval Acad-emy in 1845, it became possible, as it still is, for amidshipman to enter the Navy directly from civilian life.The name of students at the Naval Academy changedseveral times between 1870 and 1902, when Congress re-stored the original title of Midshipman, and it has re-mained unchanged since.

TECUMSEHThe familiar Native American figurehead facing BancroftHall and Tecumseh Court has been an Annapolis residentsince 1866. Originally, the figurehead of the USS Delawarewas meant to portray Tamanend, the great chief of theDelawares. It developed that Tamanend was a lover ofpeace and did not strike the fancy of the Brigade. Lookingfor another name, Midshipmen referred to the figureheadas Powhatan and King Philip before finally settling onTecumseh, the fierce Shawnee chieftain who lived from1768-1813. The original wooden statue was replaced aftersome 50 years in the open weather by a durable bronzereplica, presented by the Class of 1891. It is considered agood-luck "mascot" for the midshipmen, who in timespast would throw pennies at it and offer left-handedsalutes whenever they wanted a 'favor', such as a sportswin over West Point, or spiritual help for examinations.These days it receives a fresh coat of war paint and isoften decorated in various themes during football weeksand other special occasions such as CommissioningWeek.

In his 11th year as Director of Athletics,Chet Gladchuk has overseen a renaissance ofthe Naval Academy athletic program. His admin-istrative leadership has helped lead the programto one of the most successful periods in schoolhistory.

In 2010-11, Navy won 63 percent of itscontests and claimed the overall series againstArmy for the 18th time in the last 19 years.Navy produced nine All-Americans, 11 confer-ence athletes of the year, nine conferencecoaches of the year and 11 conference champi-onships.

The Mids also excelled in the classroom,ranking No. 4 in the country in graduation ratefor student-athletes (among Football Bowl Sub-division schools) and all 24 of Navy’s NCAAsponsored varsity sports rank above the nationalaverage in the Academic Progress Report, in-cluding five teams with perfect scores. Navyhad five Academic All-Americans, four PatriotLeague Scholar Athletes of the Year and anNCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winner. Six ofthe top 15 Naval Academy graduates and 28 ofthe top 100 graduates in the Class of 2011 wereinvolved with varsity or club athletics.

The football team had another successfulseason in 2010, posting a 9-4 record and play-ing in a school-record eighth-consecutive bowlgame. The Mids beat Army for a series-recordninth-consecutive year and defeated NotreDame for the third time in four seasons.

Other teams who flourished in 2010-11 in-cluded the women’s basketball team winning thePatriot League Championship and advancing tothe NCAA Tournament for the first time in schoolhistory; the rifle team placed seventh at theNCAA Championship; the women’s lacrosseteam advanced to the NCAA Tournament for thesecond-straight season; intercollegiate sailingplaced ninth at the ICSA Nationals; the baseballteam won the Patriot League Regular Seasonand Tournament titles and participated in theNCAA Tournament for the first time since 2002;while the water polo, men’s cross country, men’sswimming & diving, men’s indoor track & field,women’s indoor track & field and women’s row-ing all won conference titles.

Gladchuk’s efforts have been recognizedon a national level as well, as the Division IAAthletic Directors Association named him the2005 Bobby Dodd Athletic Director of the Year.The award is presented in recognition of an ath-letic director’s support and commitment towardthe successful advancement of the department,most specifically in the sport of football. Addi-tionally, he was recognized by the Secretary ofthe Navy for his contributions and service to theNavy and the Naval Academy with the SuperiorPublic Service Award to the Department of theNavy.

Gladchuk has been able to parlay Navy’sathletic success into an exclusive television dealwith CBS ports Network that has increased

Navy’s television exposure both in the UnitedStates and internationally. CBS Sports Network,the first 24-hour college sports network, tele-vises every Navy home and select neutral sitefootball games (excluding Notre Dame and Armywhich are televised nationally by CBS), as wellas other Midshipmen men's and women's ath-letic events, original programming and docu-mentaries centered on the storied Navy athleticprogram. The long-term, multi-media agreementincludes internet streaming, broadband andvideo-on-demand rights and high definitionrights. A major part of the agreement was thatall home football games would be played onSaturday for the convenience of the Navyalumni. Navy sports are seen all over the worldwith the international distribution of Navy pro-gramming, especially to the troops servingabroad. Navy’s contract with CBS Sports Net-work runs through 2018.

Gladchuk has also added radio giantsWBAL (1090 AM) in Baltimore and WFED (1500AM, 1050 AM, 820 AM) in WashingtonD.C./Northern Virginia to Navy’s radio network.

WBAL Radio, which is also the home of theRavens, is Maryland's dominant and most pow-erful radio station. Since 1925, generations ofMarylanders have turned to WBAL Radio fornews, weather, thought-provoking discussionsand sports. As Maryland's only 50,000-watt AMstation, WBAL's signal travels substantially fur-ther than any other station in the state.

WFED Radio, which is also the home ofthe Washington Nationals, is a 50,000-watt sta-tion that will air a minimum of 10 regular-seasonfootball games. WFED is your source for fed-eral news covering both the Federal Govern-

ment and those who do business with the gov-ernment.

Since being introduced as the Academy's28th Director of Athletics on Sept. 4, 2001, Glad-chuk has pressed forward on numerous frontswith energy and vision. From the hiring of PaulJohnson and Ken Niumatalolo as head footballcoaches to the renovation of Navy-Marine CorpsMemorial Stadium, Gladchuk has made im-provements in several key areas that will provemore success on the athletic fields for years tocome. Recent head coaching hires such as BillRoberts in men’s swimming, John Morrison inwomen’s swimming, Paul Kostacopoulos inbaseball, Keith Puryear in women’s tennis,Cindy Timchal, the all-time winningest women’slacrosse coach in NCAA history, Stefanie Pem-per, one of the all-time winningest Division IIIwomen’s basketball coaches, Dave Brandt, theall-time winningest soccer coach in NCAA his-tory, Larry Bock, the all-time winningest coach incollegiate volleyball history, Ed DeChellis, the2009 Big Ten Basketball Coach of the Year atPenn State, and men’s lacrosse coach RickSowell, who was a two-time America EastCoach of the Year.

During Gladchuk’s tenure at the NavalAcademy, he has seen the Midshipmen win 75conference titles, produce 137 All-Americansand 48 Academic All-Americans.

Gladchuk has also worked tirelessly tobring back school spirit, working in conjunctionwith school officials to encourage midshipmen toattend events for all sports.

He has embraced the local community andalumni base, and is an often-requested speaker,visiting areas all over the country as he sharesthe vision of the Naval Academy and the NavalAcademy Athletic Association.

Gladchuk’s biggest impact on the NavalAcademy has been the $42 million renovation ofNavy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium whereunder his leadership the stadium was com-pletely refurbished over a four-year time frame.The addition of 6,500 permanent seats on thesidelines and in the end zones, 32 luxury boxes,dropping the field eight feet and moving thesidelines closer, two video scoreboards, a me-morial plaza, upgraded restroom and conces-sion areas, a perimeter walking path, newlighting, a new sound system, landscaping thegrounds and storm water management highlightthe list of renovations. Gladchuk has workedclosely with the city, county, state and neighbor-hood associations to ensure proper communica-tion and sensitivity to issues that benefit both theNAAA and community at large. The NAAA wasawarded the Green Star award by former An-napolis Mayor Ellen Moyer for commitment tothe environment during the ongoing renovationof Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

Gladchuk and the NAAA have also teamedup with the Naval Academy Foundation to raiseover $75 million in private giving for facilities

�� 2277 ��


such as the Brigade Sports Complex (hockey and tennis), Max Bishop Stadium(baseball), varsity squash courts, various team locker rooms and a number of prac-tice facilities.

Other highlights during Gladchuk’s tenure at the Naval Academy include therecent renegotiation of the Army-Navy contract which resulted in over $46 million tothe two schools over the next eight years, scheduling Maryland, Notre Dame, OhioState and Army at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore to promote Navy football in thecommunity, negotiating the extension of the Navy-Notre Dame football game televi-sion contract with CBS through 2018 and negotiating bowl deals with the Houston,Emerald, Poinsettia, Meineke Car Care, EagleBank, Texas, Armed Forces and Mili-tary Bowls.

Gladchuk is heavily involved with NCAA and Patriot League committees. Herecently was selected to serve on the NCAA Leadership Council, which is one of thehighest NCAA appointments an athletic director can realize. The council helps setthe Division I legislative agenda and advises the NCAA regarding major legislativeissues being considered. The primary responsibility of the council is to identifythose issues on the horizon that can impact Division I and intercollegiate athleticsas a whole and spends much of its time planning for the future of Division I andhelps set the course for the future. Gladchuk is also on the NACDA (National Asso-ciation of Collegiate Athletic Directors) Executive Committee and has served as theChairman of the Executive Committee in the Patriot League and a member of theNCAA Olympic Sport Liaison Committee.

Gladchuk came to the Naval Academy from the University of Houston, wherehe had been the Director of Athletics since July 18, 1997. Recognized as one of thenation’s top leaders in intercollegiate athletics management, he guided the Cougarsto 19 Conference USA Championships, while making significant strides in the aca-demic success of their student-athletes, gender equity and fiscal management.

Before Houston, Gladchuk was the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, Intra-murals and Recreation for seven years at his alma mater, Boston College. UnderGladchuk, Boston College emerged as one of the NCAA’s elite programs of the1990s winning numerous Big East and NCAA Championships. The school’s gradua-tion rate for all student-athletes was over 90 percent and the Eagles won the Col-lege Football Association’s Academic Achievement Award for the highest graduationrates among all Division I schools in three of his last five years at Boston College.Gladchuk led the Alumni Stadium expansion effort, which resulted in a $35 millionimprovement to the football stadium.

Prior to rejoining Boston College, Gladchuk served as AD at Tulane Universityfrom 1987-90. During his tenure, he directed the reinstatement of the Green Wavebasketball program to Division I status. In addition, he oversaw the construction ofnew facilities for the athletics administration as well as baseball, track and field andtennis teams after a $25 million athletics campaign was successfully completed.

From 1985-87, he served as Associate AD at Syracuse University, heading op-erations, NCAA compliance, financial aid and facility operations.

Gladchuk lettered in football at Boston College and graduated with honors inbusiness management in 1973. He earned a master’s in sports administration fromthe University of Massachusetts-Amherst in 1974, where he began his career in in-tercollegiate athletics, including serving for seven years as Director of GeneralPhysical Education, Assistant and Associate Athletic Director for the university.

We expect to win in everything we do – on and off the fieldof competition. The Blue & Gold provides the supplemen-tal resources necessary to assist ourcoaches and Midshipmen to realisticallypursue the highest level of successwithin the context of their physical chal-lenges. We are an institution invested ina mission that educates future leaders inmoral, mental and physical excellence.The Blue & Gold enables our Midship-men to pursue the highest goals possi-ble as members of varsity or juniorvarsity teams.

The Naval Academy Athletic Associationis a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organizationcharged with providing resources to sup-port 45 varsity and junior varsity pro-grams offered by the Naval Academy. TheNAAA operates with the guidance of theNaval Academy’s Board of Control, whosemembers report to the Superintendent ofthe United State Naval Academy.

Over 90 percent of funding support for theNAAA programs is through externalsources of revenue (i.e. Blue & Gold mem-berships, ticket sales, corporate sponsor-ship, television revenue, parking, etc.).Less than 10 percent of the operatingbudget for the varsity and junior varsityprograms is provided by the Academy viagovernment funding.

Therefore, the Blue & Gold membershipsare critical in providing our teams with thesupplemental dollars necessary to close the“resource gap” between the Naval Academyteams and our Division I competition. Yoursupport is critical to our continued success.

Membership in the Blue & Gold contributesto 120 years of supporting the Brigade ofMidshipmen and is the Margin of Athletic Ex-cellence funding for all 45 teams!
