Maj. Mike Kazlausky enters his first year as interim

head baseball coach at the Air Force Academy for

the 2011 season.

Kazlausky, otherwise known as "Coach Kaz" is a

1991 Academy graduate and has logged six years as

an assistant coach at the Academy.

Kazlausky spent 2010 as an Air Officer Commanding

(AOC) for cadet squadron 12 at the Academy.

As one of the most inspirational and emotional

players to ever wear the Air Force baseball uniform,

Kazlausky came to USAFA baseball as a walk-on and

started all four years. At the time of his graduation,

he held eight career records and still ranks among

the top six in nine of the 13 offensive categories.

A two-time all-Western Athletic Conference (WAC)

selection, Kazlausky led the Falcons in batting in

1989 and 1991.

After a standout baseball career with the Falcons,

"Kaz" spent three seasons from 1993 to 1995 as an

assistant coach to former Falcon Head Coach Paul

Mainieri, now the head skipper at LSU. During this

time, the Falcons posted three consecutive winning

seasons. The 1994 team led the nation in batting av-

erage, slugging percentage and triples. The 1995

team won 29 games, the second most in school his-

tory. After leaving the Academy in the summer of

1995, Kaz spent four years at Charleston Air Force

Base, S.C., as a pilot in the C-17 aircraft.

He later returned to the Academy in the fall of 2000

till 2004 as a TG4 and T-41/C-150 evaluator pilot in

the 94th Flying Training Squadron. In addition to his

flight duties, he also served as the volunteer base-

ball coach for the Falcons as well as the Preparatory

School head baseball coach. During his tenure, the

2002 Falcon team set the school record for most Div.

I victories and two Falcon players were drafted into

the minor leagues. Kazlausky then returned back to

Charleston Air Force Base in 2004. He spent the next

two and a half years as a C-17 pilot actively serving

in the War on Terror, before returning to the Acad-

emy from 2006-2008 for this third tour as an assis-

tant baseball coach.

In 2007, Kazlausky was inducted to the Lake County

Hall of Fame in Lake County, Ill., for outstanding

achievement. In 2008, he was inducted into the

14th Airlift Squadron Hall of Fame in Charleston,

S.C..

Kaz and his wife, Kris, live in Monument with their

daughter, Sammy (10) and son, Mick (7).

Comment from Director of Athletics Dr. Hans Mueh.

"I'm very pleased to have Kaz take over as our base-

ball coach. He has demonstrated a great knowledge

of the game as both a player and assistant coach

and I'm confident he'll continue to do so as our

head coach. He has shown great leadership ability,

not only in athletics, but also in his past role as an

AOC and I think our athletes and fans will immedi-

ately take to that. I'm excited about that and the en-

thusiasm that he'll bring to Air Force baseball."

Comment from Maj. Mike Kazlausky

"I'd like to thank Dr. Mueh for this opportunity to

lead the Air Force baseball program. I am very hon-

ored and privileged to work with the great cadets

at the Academy. I hope to be able to impress upon

them that I am highly motivated, passionate, dedi-

cated and have a desire to be successful not only

on the field but more importantly to develop lead-

ers of character for tomorrow's Air Force. My job as

coach is to be a great role model and mentor and

inspire these young men to achieve their full po-

tential in all facets of the Academy. I would also like

to thank Gen. Cox for giving me the opportunity to

be the Air Force Officer Commanding (AOC) of

cadet squadron 12."

I look forward to being around such high quality young men and womenwho have made the ultimate decision to serve our country. Alongside every-one involved with Falcon baseball, I look forward to raising the expectations ofthe program to the standards of what the Air Force Academy and the Air Forcerepresents."

2011 Air Force Baseball 10 GoAirForceFalcons.com

The Air Force Academy baseball

team reigns in a new coach, a new vi-

sion, and a new attitude in 2011.

Under the guidance of new head

coach Maj. Mike Kazlausky, the for-

mer player and graduate from the Air

Force Academy brings with him both

perspective and a no-nonsense atti-

tude to the program.

Coach ‘Kaz’ is clear the mission of the

program is not just about winning

baseball games, but more importantly

about building leaders of character.

His players are more than what you

see on the field, they are this coun-

try’s next generation of Air Force offi-

cers. These cadet players must be

able to not only perfect their skills on

the baseball field, but balance that

with all the rigors of their military and

academic responsibilities.

“This year’s schedule will be a

challenge, but that is exactly what we

are preparing these players for,” Ka-

zlausky said. “We have a tremendous

group of young men who are learn-

ing about mental toughness and de-

termination. We want our kids to

have fun and recognize that this is

one of the greatest opportunities of a

lifetime. We want them to experience

all of it, and give all they got because

they cannot get this time back.”

Air Force returns 24 letter win-

ners, including five starters in the

field from the 2010 team that went 13-

42 overall and 3-20 in Mountain West

Conference play. The Falcons return

12 pitchers, with nine having starting

pitching experience. Air Force also

welcomes 12 talented newcomers to

the mix.

Coach Kazlausky took a moment be-

fore the start of the season to talk

about the 2011 Air Force Falcons.

Can you talk about you staff?

Our entire coaching staff is com-

mitted to this program and to these

players. If I think of one word to de-

scribe our new assistant coaches- it’s

‘energy’. You can feel the energy and

it’s contagious! Tim Dixon, Toby Bick-

nell and Mark Crocco are our new as-

sistant coaches. They each bring a

unique set of skills and qualities that

compliment the entire program. They

are here to help these players realize

their potential and I see progress

each and every day. I am thrilled to

have men that believe as I do and that

in order to win, you need to think you

can. I truly feel that I am blessed with

the best coaching staff in the coun-

try! They are fulfilling their need to

serve our country in a slightly differ-

ent manner which is to be a great role

model, mentor, and coach to these

young men who upon graduation will

wear our nation’s uniform proudly.

Can you talk about the players?

We have a nice blend of return-

ing talent and newcomers. Senior

team captain Nathan Carter will lead

the way for us, both on and off the

field. Nate is a four-year starter and

will be called upon to produce for us

in the middle of the order.

I believe our pitching staff will

be our team strength this year. Pitch-

ing coach, Tim Dixon has provided ex-

cellent tutelage this fall and we look

for that to carry over to significant im-

provement this year.

Junior Evan Abrecht and sopho-

more Sean Carley will anchor our

pitching staff and will be our week-

end starters. Behind Evan and Sean,

we have several pitchers vying for

weekend slots as well. Sophomore

Ben Bertelson and junior Michael Ceci

are currently in the mix to get the ball

on the weekend.

Sophomores Matt Zettler, Kin-

caid Koehler, Alex Baker, Alex Lerda-

Plog, Luke Dorlac, Todd Del Toro and

Stephen Colangelo, senior Brad Pin-

gel, junior Mike Kazakoff, and fresh-

men Cameron White and Kyle Van

Alstine will provide significant innings

for us this year as middle relievers.

Middle relief is going to be very im-

portant for us and we feel we have

the depth needed to be successful.

We return the core of our infield

in sophomore shortstop Matthew

Roberts and junior second baseman

Blair Roberts. Blair is one of the

toughest players I have ever been

around and we expect him to be our

leader in the infield. With the loss of

junior Adam Hill to injury, sophomore

Matt Thorne and seniors Jon McMa-

hon and Vai Schierholtz will also play

a vital role to the makeup of our in-

field and at third base. At first base,

we have senior Parker Mayo, who will

also be our backup catcher along with

junior Vince Capra who will also see

action at first base and on the

mound.

Seniors Jon McMahon and Vai

Schierholtz return to the team after

taking their junior years off to focus

on the Academy. Both Jon and Vai

can play any of the infield positions,

and we are excited to have them

back. Sophomore Garrett Custons will

handle the catching duties. Garrett is

a returning All-American for us. He is

a triple threat as he has a great arm, is

a fantastic hitter and is a terror on the

base paths.

In the outfield we return Carter

to centerfield. Sophomore Alex Bast

will man leftfield and junior Shayne

Hulce and freshman Patrick Lobo will

compete for the starting position in

right. All four are great athletes and

will contribute both offensively and

will be game-changers defensively.

In the designated hitter slot,

freshman Ryan Kramer gets the early

nod and he will also see time in the

outfield. Another freshman, Seth

Kline, who comes to us from the foot-

ball team, will also DH for us, in addi-

tion to backup catching duties. We

also see left-hand pitcher Brad Pingel

getting some at bats for us out of the

DH spot.

What are your thoughts entering your

first year as head coach?

It continues to be a privilege

and an honor to be here. I am thrilled

to get up and go to work each day

around such amazing young men and

women we have here at the Acad-

emy. The commitment that the

cadets at the Academy undertake,

along with our fellow cadets at West

Point and Annapolis, is bigger than

what most kids who they compete

against will ever know. It’s both a

tremendous responsibility and oppor-

tunity and I am simply excited and

honored to be a part of this program.

Thoughts on the schedule?

Our schedule is definitely a

tough one. It’s an all Div. I schedule

for just the second time in program

history. We play some very good non-

conference opponents. We know

that in order to be competitive in the

Mountain West Conference, you have

to play quality non-conference

games. There are no gimme's on this

schedule whatsoever.

What are some of the team goals?

We want to exceed expecta-

tions. We know our record has not

been great, but we know we have

what it takes to make a turn around.

We want to make our confer-

ence tournament, which is something

we haven’t done in years. We also

want to bring back the Falcon pride.

We need to always battle and be in

games until the very last pitch. We’re

going to play every pitch, every inning

like it’s our last. We expect that our

players will sprint on and off the field.

They will sprint out walks, homers,

everything. We will play the game

very old school. We will play to win!

Ireflected one night on my newlifestyle, and how the choices I havemade have affected the path of mylife, and I wouldn’t change a thing.The Academy has taught me so muchalready, I can only look forward towhat I will learn in the future.

Baseball is my passion. My lustfor the game is what pushes me toget through the many challenges theAcademy dishes out. The friends onthe team that I have made will be mybest friends for life. We have beenthrough so much as a class already,that our bonds together are thatmuch stronger. I dream about thosenights last year that I was on thebump, staring down the hitter, thecrowd roaring. I can still put myselfback in the game against TCU that Icame in to close the day before Istarted. The amount of focus I hadthat night in the bottom of the ninth,the game riding on me…..I will neverforget that moment. Even though ourrecord did not reflect the hard workthe team put in, I know that with thecoaches we have this year, and thedesire we have to change this pro-gram around, everything is possible.

The immortal words of an eastern visitor in 1893 live perpetually at the base of Col-orado’s Rocky Mountains.

When teacher and poet Katherine Lee Bates took a wagon ride to the summit of PikesPeak she was inspired to write a song that is still recited today. Her view from atop the14,110-foot peak was the basis of her song “America the Beautiful”.

The history of Colorado Springs traverses back to 1870when Gen. William Jackson Palmer first visited the regionand was captivated by its grandeur. A year later, hebegan designing his city of dreams. From its beginningon the corner of Pikes Peak and Cascade Avenues indowntown Colorado Springs, the city has grown morethan 183 square miles and to nearly 400,000 people inthe city and 600,000 in the metro area.

Colorado Springs is known nationally for its naturalattractions. The Garden of the Gods, the area’s No. 1 nat-ural attraction, is a majestic out-cropping of red sand-stone rocks which are more than 300 million years old.Colorado Springs is also home to the Pikes Peak High-way, a 19-mile drive up the world’s highest toll road. Thearea’s No. 1 man-made attraction is the Air Force Acad-emy’s Cadet Chapel.

Another major attraction is the Broadmoor Hotel andResort. Built in the early 1900s, this five-star resort, hostedthe 1995 U.S. Women’s Open Golf Championship andthe 2008 Senior U.S. Open, and is nestled into the baseof Cheyenne Mountain. The Pikes Peak region is home to the nation’s only mountainzoo. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, with an elevation of more than 6,800-feet, has re-ceived several changes in the past two years.

For the outdoors enthusiast, the city and the state offer a plethora of recreational ac-tivities. A short drive to the northwest features some of the nation’s finest ski resorts, in-cluding the cities of Vail and Aspen. A short jaunt to the southwest or northwest will findsome of the best white-water rafting, fishing, hiking and cycling that the country has tooffer.

Valuing its past with a vision for the future, Colorado Springs is truly a city with un-paralleled culture, recreation, growth and opportunity in the 21st century.

Less than 45 minutes from the Academy and with over 300 days of sunshine per year, The MileHigh City of Denver has it all.

Truly a sports capitol, Denver has nine professional sports teams, including the Denver Broncos(NFL), Denver Nuggets (NBA), Colorado Avalanche (NHL), Colorado Rockies (MLB), Colorado Rapids(Major League Soccer), Colorado Crush (Arena Football League), Denver Dynamite (Indoor SoccerLeague), Denver Outlaws (Major League Lacrosse) and the Colorado Mammoth (National LacrosseLeague). Recent success among the teams has driven the excitement for these teams a mountainhigh. The Broncos won the Super Bowl in 1998 and 1999. The Avalanche won the Stanley Cup in 1996and 2001. The Crush won the Arena Bowl in 2005.

Located just east of the Rocky Mountains and the Continental Divide, Denver has a mild and dryclimate with more days of sunshine per year than San Diego and Miami. Golf courses are open yearround as the average winter temperature is 45 degrees, warmer than Boston, New York City and St.Louis. The city sits at 5,280 feet above sea level. In fact, there is a step on the State Capitol Building

that is exactly one mile above sea level. Even at a mile above sea level,the city is dwarfed by its backdrop. The foothills being just west of the cityand the peaks of the mountain range reach heights of more than 14,000feet. Despite the proximity to the mountains, the city receives just 8-15inches of precipitation per year, about the same as Los Angeles.

The United States Census Bureau estimates that, in 2006, the populationof the City and County of Denver was 566,974, making it the 27th mostpopulous U.S. city. The Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Statistical Area had anestimated 2006 population of 2,408,750 and ranked as the 21st most pop-ulous U.S. metropolitan statistical area.

Denver has the largest city park system in the nation. There are 650miles of off-street, bike paths, 90 golf courses and 200 parks. Within a 90-minute drive from downtown Denver, there are opportunities for some ofthe country’s best skiing, hiking, fishing, rafting and mountain biking.

The United States Air Force Academy offers a four-year

program of instruction and experience designed to edu-

cate, train and inspire men and women to become offi-

cers of character, motivated to lead the United States Air

Force in service to our nation. Each cadet graduates with

a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a sec-

ond lieutenant in the Air Force.

COURSE OF STUDY

Cadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that pro-

vides the knowledge, skills and responsibilities es-

sential to a career Air Force officer. The entire USAFA

experience is integrated and mapped to achieve a set of

desired outcomes in every graduate.

The core academic curriculum includes courses in

basic sciences, engineering, social sciences and human-

ities. Cadets take additional elective courses to complete

requirements for one of 32 major areas of study. About

50 percent of the cadets complete majors in science and

engineering; the remainder graduate in the social sci-

ences and humanities. Some of the most popular majors

include management, aeronautical engineering, foreign

area studies, history, behavioral science, civil engineer-

ing, astronautical engineering, electrical engineering and

engineering mechanics.

FACULTY COMPOSITION

The majority of the Academy's faculty members, more

than 500 total, are Air Force officers. They are selected

primarily from career-officer volunteers who have estab-

lished outstanding records of performance and dedica-

tion. Each has at least a master's degree and more than

55 percent have doctorates or other terminal degrees in

their field of study.

About 30 percent of the faculty are civilians who bring

great depth of disciplinary and educational expertise and

provide academic stability and continuity.

Faculty members are intensely focused on cadet learn-

ing as an integral part of their officer development. The

Air Force Academy has been ranked No. 1 in the nation

for the most accessible and involved faculty for four years

in a row.

To provide greater contributions by a diverse faculty,

the Academy has several distinguished visiting profes-

sors and endowed professors who serve one or more

years. Officers from other services, as well as officers

from allied countries are also members of the faculty. Dis-

tinguished civilian and military lecturers also share their

expertise with the cadets during the academic year.

ATHLETIC PROGRAM

The Academy's athletic program is designed to im-

prove physical fitness, teach athletic skills and develop

leadership qualities. To achieve its goals, the Academy

offers some of the most extensive physical education, in-

tramural sports and intercollegiate athletic programs in

the nation. Cadets take at least three different physical

education courses each year.

MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING

An air, space and cyberspace-ori-

ented military education, training

and leadership program begins with

basic cadet training and continues

throughout the four years. Seniors

are responsible for the organiza-

tional leadership of the cadet wing,

while juniors and sophomores seek

to develop team and interpersonal

leadership and instructional skills.

Cadets are projected into as many

active leadership roles as possible to

prepare them to be effective Air

Force officers.

Fundamental concepts of mili-

tary organization -- drill, ethics, honor, Air Force heritage

and physical training -- are emphasized the first summer

during basic cadet training. Freshmen then study the mil-

itary role in United States society as well as the mission

and organization of the Air Force. Sophomores receive

instruction in communication skills and juniors study the

combat and operational aspects of the Air Force.

The Academy offers courses in flying, navigation, soar-

ing and parachuting, building from basic skills to in-

structor duties. Some cadets may fly light aircraft with the

Cadet Flying Team.

Summer training for cadets is divided into three, three-

week training periods. There are a variety of programs

available and each cadet is required to complete two

training periods each summer with leave during the

other period. All new cadets take six weeks of basic cadet

training in their first summer.

Combat survival training is a required three-week pro-

gram during cadets' second summer. For other second-

summer training periods, cadets have options such as

working with Airmen in an operational unit at an Air

Force installation, airborne parachute training, soaring or

basic free-fall parachute training.

During their last two summers, all cadets are offered

leadership training as supervisors or instructors in the

summer programs listed above.

Extracurricular activities also are an integral part of the

education program. The cadet ski club, drum and bugle

corps, cadet chorale and forensics are a few of the pro-

grams available.

NOMINATIONS

Nominations to the Academy may be obtained

through a congressional sponsor or by meeting eligibil-

ity criteria in other categories of competition established

by law. For information on admission procedures, write to

HISTORY OF

THE ACADEMY

In 1948, a board of leadingcivilian and military educators wasappointed to plan the curriculumfor an academy that would meetthe needs of the newly estab-lished Air Force. The board deter-mined that Air Force requirementscould not be met by expandingthe other service academies andrecommended an Air Force Acad-emy be established without delay.

In 1949, then Secretary of theAir Force W. Stuart Symington ap-pointed a commission to assist inselecting a site and on April 1,1954, President Dwight D. Eisen-hower authorized creation of theUnited States Air Force Academy.After considering 580 sites in 45states, the commission narrowedthe choice to three locations. Thesummer of 1954, Secretary of theAir Force Harold Talbott selected asite near Colorado Springs, Colo.Colorado contributed $1 milliontoward purchase of the property.

In July 1955, the first Academyclass entered interim facilities atLowry Air Force Base, Denver,while construction began. It wassufficiently completed for occu-pancy by the cadet wing in lateAugust 1958. Initial constructioncost was $142 million.

Women entered the Academyon June 28, 1976, as members ofthe class of 1980.

Dr. Hans J.Mueh is in hisseventh year asthe director ofathletics at theAir Force Acad-emy. A retired AirForce brigadier

general, Mueh was vice dean of faculty for twoyears prior to his retirement from active duty in thesummer of 2004. Mueh was heavily involved inAcademy athletics before becoming director of ath-letics. He was the Academy's faculty athletics rep-resentative from 1996-2004 and was a long-timemember of the board of directors for the Air ForceAcademy Athletics Association.

Since becoming the director of athletics,Mueh has led the Academy to some remarkablefeats. In 2007, the Academy was one of only threeschools (Michigan State and Boston College) toreach post-season play in football (2007), men’sbasketball and ice hockey (2006-07). It marked thefirst time a service academy has ever had a teamcompete in the post-season in all three sports.

In addition, under Mueh’s watch the men’s bas-ketball team has played in an NCAA tournamentand the National Invitational Tournament’s FinalFour. The ice hockey team won three straight con-ference championships and made three straightappearances in the NCAA tournament. Mueh wason the selection committee that hired currenthead coach Frank Serratore and led the Academy’smove into the Athletic Hockey Association.

The football program, the Academy’s flagshipsport, has gone through a major overhaul underMueh. He led the transition from the retirement ofthe legendary Fisher DeBerry after 23 years at thehelm to hiring current head coach Troy Calhoun, a1989 Academy graduate. Calhoun’s impact was im-mediate, leading the Falcons to a 9-4 overall markand a second-place finish in the Mountain WestConference in 2007. The Falcons qualified for theirfirst bowl game in five years, playing in the ArmedForces Bowl in 2007. The program has posted back-to-back eight-win seasons and qualified for bowlgames since, marking the first time since 1990-92Air Force has been to a bowl three straight years.

Mueh has been just as successful behind thescenes with the administration of the department.Mueh restructured the department with an inter-nal/external model that has streamlined resourcesand made the department more effective from topto bottom. In addition, he has the department oncourse to become a federally chartered non-profitorganization which will lead to more fund-raisingopportunities.

Mueh was instrumental in the USAFA Endow-ment and the announcement of an Indoor Train-ing Facility that broke ground in the summer of

2010. The $15 million facility will be completedearly in 2011.

Mueh has also been active within the confer-ence and the NCAA. He was recently selected tobe part of the NCAA Division I Amateurism Cabi-net and has been active on the NCAA’s academ-ics/eligibility compliance cabinet, the men’s golfcommittee and the region 7 postgraduate scholar-ship committee. Mueh has been equally activewithin the conference on various leadership com-mittees. He is currently on the awards and recog-nition committee and has previously served on thejoint council executive committee, and commit-tees on championships, television and sportsman-ship.

Before assuming his duties as vice dean at theAcademy, Mueh was permanent professor andhead of the department of chemistry at the Acad-emy, a position he held since October 1987 wherehe oversaw the annual design and instruction of25 undergraduate courses for 1,500 cadets annu-ally.

Mueh was born Jan. 8, 1944, in Celle, Germany,and emigrated to the United States in 1951. He en-tered the Air Force in 1962 as a member of theAcademy's eighth graduating class, and graduatedwith a bachelor of science degree in chemistry in1966. While at the Academy, Mueh was a two-yearletterwinner in soccer as a goalie. He still holds theAcademy record for saves in a game with 30, ac-complishing it twice in 1965 against North Carolinaand Benedictine. In his junior and senior years,Mueh helped the Falcons to the Rocky MountainIntercollegiate Soccer League championship andquarterfinal berths in the NCAA tournament. Hewas a first-team all-league selection in 1965.

Following graduation, Mueh completed two as-signments in intelligence before attending the Uni-versity of Wisconsin where he earned his master'sdegree in chemistry in 1970. He later earned a doc-

torate degree in chemistry from Wisconsin in 1976as a distinguished graduate. He has also com-pleted Squadron Officer School, Air Command andStaff College and Air War College.

Between earning the two degrees, Mueh re-turned to the Academy as an instructor in the de-partment of chemistry from 1970-72. He alsoserved as assistant soccer coach and played semi-pro soccer with the Aurora Internationals in Denverduring those two years, leading the Internationalsto the Colorado state title in 1971. He volunteeredfor duty in Vietnam and served as an intelligenceofficer in Saigon, Republic of Vietnam and atNakhon Phanom RTAB, Thailand, in 1972 and 1973.

After earning his doctorate degree, Mueh re-turned to the Academy in 1976 as an associate pro-fessor of chemistry. He remained at the Academyexcept for a stint in 1985-86 as the special assistantfor technical matters at the Defense IntelligenceAgency at the Pentagon.

In 1986, he assumed the position of actinghead, department of chemistry, before being se-lected for his position of permanent professor andhead of the department of chemistry in 1987. Asfaculty athletics representative, he was active inboth the Western Athletic Conference and Moun-tain West Conference, and was the Academy's rep-resentative on the transition team to form the newMWC, the only faculty athletics representative onthe team. He competes in golf, racquetball, hand-ball and tennis, and has promoted Air Force Acad-emy intercollegiate sports throughout his tenure,beginning with work as chairman of the hockey el-igibility committee, officer representative to themen's golf team and five years as the officer rep-resentative to the football team.

Few schools in the country have an athletic program as extensive as the Air

Force Academy's.

The goals of the athletic program are to enhance the physical conditioning

of all cadets, to develop the physical skills necessary for officership, to teach

leadership in a competitive environment and to build character. There are

three subdivisions of the athletic program: intercollegiate athletics, intramu-

rals and physical education.

The intercollegiate program has 17 men's and 10 women's NCAA-sanc-

tioned teams, facing some of the top competition in the nation. Men’s teams

are football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, cross-country, fencing, golf, gym-

nastics, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, rifle, soccer, swimming and div-

ing, tennis, water polo and wrestling. The Academy fields women's teams in

basketball, cross-country, fencing, gymnastics, rifle, indoor and outdoor track,

swimming and diving, soccer, tennis and volleyball. In addition, the Academy

sponsors two non-NCAA programs; boxing and cheerleading.

The majority of the Academy’s men’s and women’s programs compete at

the NCAA Division I level in the Mountain West Conference. The Falcons com-

pete in this conference against teams from Brigham Young, New Mexico, Col-

orado State, San Diego State, TCU, Wyoming, Utah and UNLV. All sports also

compete against non-conference opponents, including many nationally-

ranked teams.

The football team competes annually for the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy,

which is emblematic of service academy football supremacy. The Falcons have

won the trophy 16 times, which is more than Army and Navy combined. The

winner of the annual rivalry visits the White House to have the trophy pre-

sented by the President of the United States.

The USAFA Cadet Field House is one of the most impressive buildings in the

country. It’s a modern, versatile structure with seemingly endless uses. The

$5.6 million building is five stories high and 396 feet by 426 feet, the size of

three football fields laid side by side. The structure is divided into three areas-

-basketball arena, ice hockey arena and multipurpose area. The three sections

have a combined seating capacity of more than 9,000.

Clune Arena seats 5,834. The Cadet Ice Rink has a seating capacity of 2,470,

while the multipurpose area seats 1,000 fans for track and field competitions.

The department’s newest facility is the Indoor Training Facility (pictured

left), which will be completed in early 2011.

Over the years, Falcon Field has become oneof the toughest parks in which to play in the nation.Nestled against the Rampart Range of the RockyMountains, Falcon Field sits at over 7,000 feet abovesea level. In 1991, the field became one of the mostunique in the country. Due to the severe Coloradoweather, an Astroturf infield was installed with abrand new grass outfield and drainage system. Theturf allowed the Falcons to play games after springsnowstorms which, in the past, would have had tobe postponed. Also in 1991, the fences were movedback more than 20 feet in some spots. The currentdimensions are 349 in left field, 393 in left center,400 in center, 365 in right center and 316 in right

field. The “short porch” in right field is protected bya 24-foot chain link “Monster.” As part of the reno-vation, the dugouts were upgraded with heatersand, permanent helmet and bat racks and the parkgained space for more than 500 fans with additionalseating on the grass for a capacity of more than1,000. In the fall of 2004, the old AstroTurf infieldwas replaced with new Sport Turf.

During the first five seasons after the renova-tion, the Falcons improved in every area of thegame - team defense, team offense and team pitch-ing. The batting average of .328 and fielding per-centage of .942 were the highest in any five-yearperiod up to that point. The team ERA consistently

improved and the five-year ERA of 7.25 isthe best since joining a major confer-ence in 1981.

As a result, the Falcons posteda 128-122 record during that time for awinning percentage of .512, the bestsince joining a major conference in1981. The Falcons averaged nearly 26

wins per season in those five years, the best five-year average in school history. AFA’s home winningpercentage of .550 in 2000 is the best since a .625mark in 1995.

Since 1957, the Falcons have won 55 percentof the games played at Falcon Field. The 1993 teambroke the school record by winning 21 homegames.

In 54 seasons of Falcon baseball, the team hasposted 34 winning seasons at home. In 2010, theFalcons were 7-12 at home. Falcon Field also earnednational recognition as the host of the 1976 and1995 U.S. Olympic Festivals.
