The 2010-11 women’s rowing team enters its spring season with onegoal in mind - the Patriot League title. A year after the varsity boat camewithin 2.2 seconds of first place - which would have given Navy thechampionship - the Midshipmen are focusing on a return to the topspot in the conference.

This year’s team is made up of a strong group of upperclassmen, in-cluding seven seniors and eight juniors.

“We’ve got great senior leadership,” said head coach Mike Hughes.“Right now, we have five seniors, two juniors and a freshman in our firstboat.”

The team’s leadership starts with captain Michelle Romero, who is en-tering her second season with the first varsity boat.

“Michelle is as good of a captain as we’ve ever had,” said Hughes. “Shehas the seniors taking leadership roles in every area, from academics tothe PRT.”

Navy’s dedication and desire to become Patriot League champions in2011 was evident to Hughes even back in the fall.

“We had a good fall,” said Hughes. “We were in the hunt in just aboutevery race we competed in.”

This includes the varsity four boat putting up its best finish ever (ninth)at the prestigious Head of the Charles in October.

“This team isn’t hesitant to train at all - they work hard all the time,”said Hughes. “They do what ever is asked and they do it at a high-in-tensity level.”

The Mids placed first in the third level (13th overall) at the EasternSprints and second at the ECAC Region Championship last season. But,it is the second place finish - four points behind Bucknell - at the PatriotLeague Championship that fuels Navy.

“Our seniors are doing so much and really helping the team along,” saidHughes. “Last year, we were just 2.2 seconds from winning the PatriotLeague Championship and with the team we have now, I think we canmake up that difference. Our goal for this year is to win the PatriotLeague.”

Navy opens the 2011 spring season on March 26 with the Murphy CupRegatta.

NAVY WOMEN’S CREW HISTORY

The women's crew program continues togrow and build upon its winning tradition at theNaval Academy.

The sport made its initial appearance at Navyin the spring of 1978, during the second year womenwere allowed to attend the Academy. In that firstspring, the Midshipmen competed on the junior var-sity level, racing Washington College, Trinity of Wash-ington, D.C., and Virginia's second varsity boats,winning all three regattas.

Women’s crew was elevated to varsity statusthe following year and the Midshipmen won twovarsity races while racing at the Division II level. In1980, in only its second year of varsity status, Navycompeted in the prestigious Dad Vail Regatta, thelargest crew regatta on the East Coast. The varsityeight was third in the Grand Finals and the secondvarsity also earned a third-place finish.

The following year, the Midshipmen womenraced in the well-known San Diego Crew Classicand completed the season with a 6-2 record. Thenext three seasons found the women showcasing an18-3 record, including an unbeaten 9-0 mark in 1984.

In 1987, the Midshipmen won the first of six-consecutive Seitz Trophies for outstanding perform-ances by women’s crews at the Dad Vail Regatta. Itwas in 1992, however, that the Mids enjoyed one ofits grandest moments ever in Navy women’s crewhistory — the Midshipmen not only won the SeitzTrophy at the Dad Vail, but the varsity eight captureda gold medal for the first time and the second var-sity eight won its fifth-straight gold medal. The goldmedal by the varsity eight allowed the women toclaim the Division II national championship in thesport.

In 1991 and '92, the assistant coach for thewomen’s crew team was Lt. Cmdr. Wendy Lawrence,who was a two-year letterwinner in the sport in its

fledgling years at Navy. Capt. Lawrence became anastronaut in the U.S. space program.

In 1994, the Navy women won the Anita De-Frantz Trophy for overall performance by women’screws at the second annual Champion InternationalCollegiate Regatta. In this event, the varsity eightwas first, and with it the honor of being the nationalchampion in women’s crew on the Division II level.The first novice and second novice boats alsoearned first place showings. It was the second timein three years that the varsity eight was recognizedas national champions.

The program took a step up in 1995 by mov-ing to the Division I level and joining the EasternSprints League. Racing in the nation's strongest con-ference, Navy has steadily improved its performance.

In its initial season of 1995, the varsity eightplaced fifth in the Grand Finals and the second var-sity was second at the Champion International Col-legiate Rowing Championships.

The 1998-99 season was Navy's best seasonin the Eastern Association Women's Rowing Con-ference (EAWRC). Despite a slow start, the crewposted a 13-7 spring record. A highlight of the sea-son came when the novice four notched the firstEastern Sprints medal earned in Navy rowing his-tory, capturing a silver medal. Posting victories overconference rivals Georgetown, George Washingtonand Pennsylvania, the varsity eight finished the sea-son by making the petite final of the Eastern Sprints.

The 2005 season marked the first timewomen’s crew was sponsored by the Patriot League,with Navy sweeping the three boat titles and theoverall team championship. In addition, Mike Hugheswas selected as the league’s coach of the year, withNavy’s varsity boat garnering boat-of-the-year hon-ors. Hughes would also be named Patriot LeagueCoach of the Year in 2008.

The women's crew team has a history of pro-ducing world-class athletes in the sport. Currentvolunteer assistant coach Karin Hughes (’91), was amember of the 1997 National Rowing Team andearned a silver medal at the 1999 Pan AmericanGames. Laurie Coffey (’99), represented the U.S. atthe Under-23 World Championship and earned agold medal at the 1999 World Military Games in Za-greb, Croatia, in the women's double.

Navy won the novice eight title at the 1993 Champion Intercollegiate Rowing Regatta.

Former Navy rower Wendy Lawrence (‘81)logged over 1,225 hours on her four tripsinto space aboard the Space Shuttle.

In addition to Lawrence, fellow astronauts who also rowed during their fouryears at Navy include Alan Shepard (‘45) andJames Culberson (‘71).

As the undergraduate college of the Naval service, theNaval Academy prepares young men and women to be-come professional officers in the U.S. Navy and MarineCorps. Naval Academy students are midshipmen on ac-tive duty in the U.S. Navy. They attend the academy forfour years, graduating with bachelor of science degreesand reserve 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 18major 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 highestresponsiblities of command, citizenship andgovernment.”

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.

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 member form one of the strongestand most dedicated teaching faculties of any college oruniversity in the United States.

MAJORSStudents at the Naval Academy can select one of 53 differ-ent majors within 22 fields of study. The 22 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), Division of Math and Science (chem-istry, computer science, general science, information tech-nology, mathematics, oceanography, physics) and theDivision of Humanities and Social Science (Arabic, Chi-nese, economics, English, history, political science, quan-titative economics). In addition to graduating with a Bachelor’s of Science, students can attain a minor in oneof seven different languages.

Students who excel at the Naval Academy have many opportunities to challenge and advance themselvesthrough several special programs -- Trident Scholars,Honors Programs, and Voluntary Graduate Education Pro-gram (VGEP). Track and field athletes Kayla Sax and TyrellArment were part of the 10-member Trident Scholar pro-gram’s Class of 2010.

SCHOLARSHIP WINNERSIn addition to furthering their education at schools acrossthe country, students at the Naval Academy annually arein competition for several prestigious scholarships.Since Navy's first Rhodes Scholar, E. Van Meter ('28), atotal of 45 Naval Academy graduates have received theRhodes Scholarship, including 12 since 2001. AmongNavy's most recent recipients is former baseball playerTrevor Thompson ('05). 24 grads have won George C.Marshall Scholarships, including 14 since 2000. Stand-out swimmer Kelly Zahalka ('09) was a recipient of boththe Harry S. Truman and Gen. George C. MarshallScholarships, which paved the way for her to study fortwo years in the United Kingdom.

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.
