As a result of his teams' success, Cantello has been amply recog-nized, including being named the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Coachof the Year three times (1984, '85 and '92) and has been Patriot LeagueCoach of the Year each of the last two seasons. In 1997, the Naval Acad-emy Alumni Association awarded Cantello the Distinguished AthleticLeadership Award for a coach or faculty member who did the most forthe physical development of the Midshipmen in physical education. Can-tello also received the inaugural Tom Hamilton Teaching/CoachingAward, as voted by his peers that same year.

From 1981-88, Cantello held a dual coaching role, guiding Navy'smen's indoor and outdoor track squads while maintaining his crosscountry duties. As Navy's head track coach, Cantello led the Mids to a67-9-1 dual meet record. During the 1986-87 academic year, his com-bined record in cross country, indoor and outdoor track & field was aremarkable 23-1.

Cantello's all-time head coaching record in cross country, indoorand outdoor track is 315-81-2, good for a .794 career winning per-centage. Among his victories are 42 N-Stars, including 32 as the headcoach of the cross country program - more than any other Navy men-tor in one sport.

Cantello has authored the Mids to a 32-9-1 mark against Army,prior to which Navy held a 12-19 record against the Black Knights.

A 1955 graduate of La Salle, Cantello was a two-time All-Ameri-can in the javelin throw. In 2009, he was inducted into the Penn RelaysWall of Fame for becoming the first three-time winner in the javelinthrow at the famed event. He was also enshrined as a charter memberof La Salle's Hall of Athletes in 1961.

A former world-class competitor in the javelin, Cantello once heldevery national and international record in the event. In 1959, he set aworld record in the javelin and competed for the U.S. Olympic Teamthe following year in the 1960 Games in Rome. In 1964, Sport magazinenamed Cantello to its all-time track & field team and voted him theworld's greatest competitor in the javelin.

Cantello and his wife, Jackie, are the parents of three adult children- Karla McMahon, Karen O'Kane and the late Albert Jr. - and sevengrandchildren.

Since Navy head coach Al Cantello's arrival at the Naval Academy48 years ago, the Midshipmen have been one of the most consistentmen's cross country programs, both regionally and nationally.

For the second time in as many seasons, Cantello led the Mids tothe Patriot League Championship in 2009 and garnered his second con-secutive conference coach of the year honors.

With a 239-69-1 career record in 42 seasons as head coach, Can-tello has coached several standout runners during his years in An-napolis. Jon Clemens received All-America honors during the 1996cross country season, while John Mentzer was named a 1997 All-Amer-ican in both indoor (5,000 meters) and outdoor (10,000 meters) track.Michael Ryan earned similar honors during the 1999 indoor track sea-son for his 4:01.57 time in the mile, and Erik Schmidt took fifth placein the mile at the NCAA Indoor Championship in March 2003.

In addition, two of Navy's distance relay teams were ranked amongthe nation's top 15 during the 1999 outdoor campaign. The mile relayteam of Eric Adams, John McNamara, Ryan Runge and Ryan was fourthin the nation, while the distance medley relay team of Adams, TorranceChaplin, Karlton Holston and Ryan was nationally ranked, as well.

In capturing their second league title last season since joining theconference in 2003, Andrew Hanko won the individual title to earnPatriot League Runner of the Year honors. Hanko also brought homeall-region honors for the second year in a row after placing 13th at theNCAA Mid-Atlantic Region Championships. James Pearson also gar-nered all-region honors after placing 23rd at the regional champi-onships.

Season Outlook Pearson, Cody Rome, Dominic DellaPelle, Ken Bunnell, Jeremy Haneyand Ross Hughes will all be counted on to contribute to the Mids’ suc-cess this season.

Pearson is perhaps the most heralded of the bunch as his 23rd-place finish at the NCAA Regional meet last season earned him a spoton the All-Mid-Atlantic Region Team. The Second-Team All-PatriotLeague runner scored in six of his seven races and delivered four top-15 finishes as a sophomore in 2009.

“James is a bread and butter man,” said Cantello.Rome finished second behind Hanko in four races in 2009, includ-

ing at the Patriot League Championship where his third-place finishearned him first-team all-league honors.

“Cody ran a 4:05 mile last year – he defines ‘competitor,’” Cantellosaid. “He knows not the meaning of the word intimidation.”

The strength of the Mids’ roster continues with DellaPelle andBunnell. DellaPelle had three top-15 finishes in 2009 while Bunnell’s12th-place finish at the Patriot League Championships earned him sec-ond-team all-league honors.

“Ken is a lumbering heart with legs – he’s the ultimate team man,”Cantello said. “He ran a 8:21 in the 3,000m and is tough as steel.”

Hughes and Haney, the 2008 Patriot League Rookie of the Year,round out the seasoned junior class; each gained valuable experience in2009 by both competing in seven meets.

“Ross is among the grittiest we’ve ever had – that’s saying plenty,”Cantello said. “He has transformed himself into a Division I achiever.”

The wealth of talent and experience in the upper classes makesNavy one of the most solid teams in the conference, and if that wasn’tenough, the Mids also have a pair of talented sophomores in Dean Blackand Kyle Satterwhite.

Black made his mark last season as he was named the PatriotLeague Rookie of the Year and garnered second-team all-conferenceaccolades after running to a 10th-place finish at the league champi-onship. Black’s finish marked the fourth consecutive year a Navy fresh-man posted the fastest time among rookies at the Patriot LeagueChampionship.

“Dean will be a total surprise to all eastern runners – watch outfor him,” said Cantello.

Satterwhite appeared in five meets last season as a freshman, gain-ing valuable experiencethat he will surely benefitfrom this fall.

“Being thrown tothe wolves last seasonhas proven to be an assetas his preseason has beenbrilliant,” Cantello said.

The Mids also haveseveral freshmen on theroster this season thathave the ability to con-tribute.

Two newcomersthat have caught the eyeof Cantello during pre-season training are ClayElward and Eamonn Mc-Carey.

“I’ve been here along time,” said Cantello.“And since I’ve beenhere, we’ve only had fouror five impact freshmen -Eamonn could be thesixth.”

With a loaded roster, Mids look to repeat as Patriot League Champs

A year after capturing a share of its first ever Patriot League Cham-pionship in 2008, the Navy men’s cross country team proved to be evenstronger last season as it took home the league title outright. With theteam’s core nucleus returning in 2010, there is no reason to believe theMidshipmen wont be right back atop the conference this season.

2010 will mark the 43rd season that head coach Al Cantello hasbeen at the helm of the Navy men’s cross country team. In leading theMids to consecutive league championships, Cantello added to his illus-trious list of personal honors by garnering his second Patriot LeagueCoach of the Year honor.

Despite having a talented squad returning, and entering the year astwo-time defending league champions, Cantello is well aware of the po-tential pitfalls ahead.

“As the cliché goes, ‘it’s sometimes harder to defend the title thanto win it,’” Cantello said. “Nevertheless, it is one of our goals to againwin the league championship. Then, as always, we want to make to theNCAA Championships – the ‘Big Dance’ – which we have done over adozen times during my tenure at USNA.”

The Mids will look to a familiar face to lead this season in seniorand Patriot League Runner of the Year, Andrew Hanko. Last year Hankoled Navy in every meet in which he competed, as he took first placeoverall on three occasions, including the Patriot League Championship.

The native of Montville,N.J., also garnered All-Mid-Atlantic Region hon-ors for the secondconsecutive year afterplacing 13th at the re-gional championships.

Though proud ofhis second consecutiveall-region honor, Hankofinished just one placeshy of qualifying for theNCAA Championships –something that will mo-tivate he and the teamfor the upcoming season.

“Andrew is a quiet,resolute competitorwho will be our teamleader,” said Cantello.“He already has an envi-able running resume inboth track and crosscountry.”

In addition toHanko, the Mids will alsocount on fellow seniorMatt De Villers. DeVillers was injured for amajority of the 2009 sea-son before returning tocompete in the NCAAMid-Atlantic Regional

Championship, where he was Navy’s third-highest finisher.“Matt is a pure distance runner who, for good measure, clocked a

4:12 indoor mile last season,” said Cantello.While the Mids will be the benefactor of the valuable experience

of Hanko and De Villers, they will undoubtedly rely heavily on a talentedjunior class, which includes six runners with significant experience. James

On Navy’s home course during his senior season in 1982, Mc-Cool recorded a career-best time of 24:27 - which stands as the28th-fastest Navy time in course history. The monument is locatedwhere he would have been 8:27 into the race during that day - 16minutes from home.

McCool, 41, was a former test pilot in the Navy and servedthat role for the STS-107 (Space Shuttle Columbia). He received abachelor of science degreee in applied science from the U.S NavalAcademy in 1983, a master of science degree from the University ofMaryland in 1985, and a master of science degree in aeronauticalengineering from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School in 1992.

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. BillXXXII and XXXIII and XXXIV are the current mascots. Theyare taken care of by 15 goathandlers made up of five mid-shipmen from the first, second and third classes. Thegoathandlers undergo rigorous training prior to handlingBill on the field.

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:-

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 car-rier, 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 to Annapolis. Itrings when the Academy observes Morning Colorsand also during special ceremonies when Navy scores a major-ity of victories over Army in any one of the three sportsseasons. The bell also rings during CommissioningWeek for those teams that beat Army and have not par-ticipated in a previous bell-ringing during the academicyear. The bell is stationed in front 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 as sevenor eight, who were apprenticed to sea captains to learnthe 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 changed sev-eral times between 1870 and 1902, when Congress re-stored the original title of Midshipman, and it hasremained 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.

Now in his 10th year as Director of Athletics,Chet Gladchuk has overseen a renaissance of theNaval Academy athletic program. His administrativeleadership has helped lead the program to one ofthe most successful periods in school history.

The 2009-10 season was a successful one forthe Midshipmen as Navy won 63 percent of its con-tests, defeated Army in the star competition for the13th consecutive year and won the overall seriesagainst Army for the 17th time in the last 18 years.Navy produced 14 All-Americans, 13 conferenceathletes of the year, seven conference coaches ofthe year and seven conference championships.

Navy also excelled in the classroom in 2009-10, ranking No. 2 in the country in graduation ratefor student-athletes (among Football Bowl Subdivi-sion schools) and all 24 of Navy’s NCAA sponsoredvarsity sports rank above the national average inthe Academic Progress report, including five teamswith perfect scores. Navy had eight Academic All-Americans and five Patriot League Scholar Athletesof the Year, while 176 student-athletes were namedto the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll. BethReed (women’s soccer and basketball) and MarkVan Orden (Track & Field) won NCAA PostgraduateScholarships, while Kayla Sax (women’s crosscountry and track & field) won Gates, Cambridgeand Trident scholarships. Seven of the top 15Naval Academy graduates in the class of 2010 were involved with varsity athlet-ics, while 40 of the top 100 graduates were involved with either varsity or clubsports.

One of the more successful programs this past season was the footballteam, which won a school-record tying 10 games against four losses, won theCommander-In-Chief’s Trophy for a school-record seventh-consecutive yearand participated in a bowl game for a record seventh-straight year. The Midsran their winning streak at South Bend to two with a 23-21 upset of the 19th-ranked Irish and dominated Missouri, 35-13, in the Texas Bowl.

Other teams who flourished in 2009-10 included the water polo team fin-ishing the season ranked 15th in the Collegiate Water Polo Association top 20,the rifle team finished eighth at the NCAA Championship, the wrestling teamplaced 46th at the NCAA Championship, the intercollegiate sailing teammatched its finish from a year ago at the ICSA Coed Dinghy Nationals with aseventh-place finish and placed sixth at the ICSA Team Race Nationals, themen’s tennis team advanced to the NCAA Championship for a fourth-straightyear, the women’s lacrosse team advanced to the NCAA Tournament for thefirst time in program history and finished the year ranked 19th in the countryand the lightweight crew team finished second at the IRA National Champi-onship.

Gladchuk’s efforts have been recognized on a national level as well, asthe Division IA Athletic Directors Association named him the 2005 Bobby DoddAthletic Director of the Year. The award is presented in recognition of an athleticdirector’s support and commitment toward the successful advancement of thedepartment, most specifically in the sport of football. Additionally, he was recog-nized by the Secretary of the Navy for his contributions and service to the Navyand the Naval Academy with the Superior Public Service Award to the Depart-ment of the Navy.

Gladchuk has been able to parlay Navy’s athletic success into an exclu-sive television deal with CBS College Sports Network that has increasedNavy’s television exposure both in the United States and internationally. CBSCollege Sports Network, the first 24-hour college sports network, televisesevery Navy home and select neutral site football games (excluding Notre Dameand Army which are televised nationally by CBS), as well as other Midshipmenmen's and women's athletic events, original programming and documentaries

centered on the storied Navy athletic program. Thelong-term, multi-media agreement includes internetstreaming, broadband and video-on-demand rightsand high definition rights. A major part of theagreement was that all home football games wouldbe played on Saturday for the convenience of theNavy alumni. Navy sports are seen all over theworld with the international distribution of Navy pro-gramming, especially to the troops serving abroad.Navy’s contract with CBS College Sports Networkruns through 2018.

Gladchuk has also added radio giants WBAL(1090 AM) in Baltimore and WFED (1500 AM, 1050AM, 820 AM) in Washington D.C./Northern Virginiato Navy’s radio network.

WBAL Radio, which is also the home of theRavens, is Maryland's dominant and most powerfulradio station. Since 1925, generations of Marylan-ders have turned to WBAL Radio for news,weather, thought-provoking discussions and sports.As Maryland's only 50,000-watt AM station,WBAL's signal travels substantially further than anyother station in the state.

WFED Radio, which is also the home of theWashington Nationals, is a 50,000-watt station thatwill air a minimum of 10 regular-season footballgames. WFED is your source for federal news cov-ering both the Federal Government and those who

do business with the government.Since being introduced as the Academy's 28th Director of Athletics on

Sept. 4, 2001, Gladchuk has pressed forward on numerous fronts with energyand vision. From the hiring of Paul Johnson and Ken Niumatalolo as head foot-ball coaches to the renovation of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, Glad-chuk has made improvements in several key areas that will prove moresuccess on the athletic fields for years to come. Recent head coaching hiressuch as Bill Roberts in men’s swimming, John Morrison in women’s swimming,Paul Kostacopoulos in baseball, Keith Puryear in women’s tennis, the all-timewinningest women’s lacrosse coach in NCAA history, Cindy Timchal, and theall-time winningest soccer coach in NCAA history on any level, Dave Brandt,have advanced those programs into the national limelight.

During Gladchuk’s tenure at the Naval Academy, he has seen the Mid-shipmen win 64 conference titles, produce 128 All-Americans and 44 AcademicAll-Americans.

Gladchuk has also worked tirelessly to bring back school spirit, working inconjunction with school officials to encourage midshipmen to attend events forall sports.

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

Gladchuk’s biggest impact on the Naval Academy has been the $42 mil-lion renovation of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium where under his lead-ership the stadium was completely refurbished over a four-year time frame. Theaddition of 6,500 permanent seats on the sidelines and in the end zones, 32luxury boxes, dropping the field eight feet and moving the sidelines closer, twovideo scoreboards, a memorial plaza, upgraded restroom and concessionareas, a perimeter walking path, new lighting, a new sound system, landscap-ing the grounds and storm water management highlight the list of renovations.Gladchuk has worked closely with the city, county, state and neighborhood as-sociations to ensure proper communication and sensitivity to issues that benefitboth the NAAA and community at large. The NAAA was awarded the GreenStar award by Annapolis Mayor Ellen Moyer for commitment to the environmentduring the ongoing renovation of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

Gladchuk is heavily involved with NCAA and Patriot League committees. He re-cently was selected to serve on the NCAA Leadership Council, which is one of the high-est NCAA appointments an athletic director can realize. The council will help set theDivision I legislative agenda and advises the NCAA regarding major legislative issuesbeing considered. The primary responsibility of the council is to identify those issues onthe horizon that can impact Division I and intercollegiate athletics as a whole and willspend much of its time planning for the future of Division I and will help set the course forthe future. Gladchuk is also on the NACDA (National Association of Collegiate Athletic Di-rectors) Executive Committee and has served as the Chairman of the Executive Commit-tee in the Patriot League and a member of the NCAA Olympic Sport Liaison Committee.

Under Gladchuk,Boston College emerged as one of the NCAA’s elite programs of the 1990s winning nu-merous Big East and NCAA Championships. The school’s graduation rate for all student-athletes was over 90 percent and the Eagles won the College Football Association’sAcademic Achievement Award for the highest graduation rates among all Division Ischools in three of his last five years at Boston College. Gladchuk led the Alumni Sta-dium expansion effort, which resulted in a $35 million improvement to the football sta-dium.

Prior to rejoining Boston College, Gladchuk served as AD at Tulane University from1987-90. During his tenure, he directed the reinstatement of the Green Wave basketballprogram to Division I status. In addition, he oversaw the construction of new facilities forthe athletics administration as well as baseball, track and field and tennis teams after a$25 million athletics campaign was successfully completed.

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

Gladchuk lettered in football at Boston College and graduated with honors in busi-ness management in 1973.

The men and women at the United States Naval Academyhave committed themselves to the service of our country.During their four years in Annapolis, they also take part inservice for the community.

From outreach opportunities such as autograph sessionsfollowing athletic events to working with underprivelegedyouth, the student-athletes at Navy give back to the areathey call home during their college years.

The following are a few examples of community serviceopportunities performed by the men and women of Navyathletics during the 2009-10 academic year.

BASEBALLThe baseball team adopted a local child with a brain tumorthrough the Friends of Jaclyn Organization. The child be-came a fixture at Navy’s home baseball games and theteam has taken an active role in his and his family’slives. The team presented them with an autographedbaseball by the team, visited their house, attended hisconcert and sister’s swimming meet, spoken with himnumerous times – especially after doctor’s appoint-ments – and have helped him with his homework as-signments.

MEN’S BASKETBALLThe men’s basketball team served as the host to aNavy Youth Center birthday party on the maincourt in Halsey Field House.

FOOTBALLQuarterback Ricky Dobbs visited the NavalAcademy Primary School and spoke to the first-grade classroom, explaining the importance ofdoing the best in their studies and followingtheir dreams. Dobbs had the students try onhis football helmet and signed autographs foreach of the children before going to visit bothof the fourth-grade classrooms.

While in Houston for the Texas Bowl, thefootball team and the cheerleaders visitedthe children at the DePelchin Children’s Center. De-Pelchin was founded in 1892 by Kezia Payne De-Pelchin to shelter orphaned children. It was originallynamed the Faith Home, because Mrs. DePelchin hadfaith in the wonderful business leaders of Houston tosupport her cause. Although she died within a year,the community leaders, touched by her passion andmission, became united in their determination to carryon her work. Today, services are provided in over 60 lo-cations in six counties in the southeastern part ofTexas.

The Naval Academy is located in historic Annapolis, thecapital of the State of Maryland. Annapolis was founded in1640 as Anne Arundel Town and later became the firstpeacetime capital city of the United States of America in1783.

Annapolis, named to honor Queen Anne of England, wasgranted a royal charter as a city in 1708. Annapolis canalso lay claim to having been a capital of the UnitedStates. From November 1783 to August 1784, the Conti-nental Congress met in the State House. It was here thatthey accepted George Washington’s resignation as com-mander-in-chief and ratified the Treaty of Paris, whichended the Revolutionary War.

The colonial heritage of Annapolis is still evident as thecity boasts more buildings from the 1700s than any othercity in the country.

The heart of downtown Annapolis has also been desig-nated a National Historic District. Many fine examples ofcolonial architecture, including the State House, Ham-mond-Harwood House, Chase-Lloyd House and theWilliam Paca House and Gardens, are open to visitors.

In August, 2009, Annapolis was named a Top Ten finalistfor the International Award for Livable Communities, acompetition focused on creating livable communitiesthrough sound environmental practices.

Annapolis is located on the western shore of the Chesa-peake Bay, the largest estuary in the United States. TheChesapeake provides natural environs, sightseeing, sail-ing, fishing and more, helping Annapolis be-come the sailing capital of the world. Thewater-lover will also revel in the fact that Mary-land has nearly 4,000 miles of shoreline – morethan any other state.

Within 30 minutes of Annapolis lies both Wash-ington, D.C., and Baltimore, providing entertain-ment and sightseeing opportunities for residentsand tourists alike.

�� The Annapolis State House is the oldest incontinuous legislative use in the country. Itwas here where General George Washingtonresigned his commission in the ContinentalArmy, and where the Treaty of Paris ending theRevolutionary War was ratified.

�� Baltimore’s Inner Harbor is just 30 minutes from An-napolis. The City of Baltimore features Harborplace, theMaryland Science Center, the National Aquarium, B&ORailroad Museum, American Visionary Art Museum, andhomes for both the MLB’s Baltimore Orioles and theNFL’s Baltimore Ravens.

�� Over 53 million pounds of blue crab wereharvested in Maryland in 2009. The Marylandcrab harvest makes up more than 50 percent ofthe annual U.S. catch.
