Dear Friends,

As the Director of Athletics at the United States Military Academy,

I’m grateful for the honor and privilege to continue the tradition

of excellence here at West Point. Since my arrival last summer,

I’ve been inspired by the relentless pursuit of excellence

displayed by our outstanding cadet-athletes, coaches, staff

and administrators. and administrators.

Every day, our cadet-athletes pursue their mission to become

commissioned leaders of character committed to the values of

Duty, Honor, Country. It is our mission to ensure Army West Point

Athletics has the resources to sustain and improve the cadet-ath-

lete experience as we continue to maximize our efforts to develop

the future leaders of our nation.

Before we look ahead to what’s in front of us in 2020, I’d be

remiss if I didn’t recognize some of our extraordinary achieve-

ments from 2019. In the classroom, four cadets were recognized

as Patriot League Scholar Athletes of the Year with ten earning

Patriot League First-Team Academic All-American recognition.

Upon the fields of friendly strife, we watched five teams claim

Patriot League Championships and eleven individuals compete in

NCAA championships. Within the Corps, four cadet-athletes were

chosen to serve in leadership positions. A more detailed list of

these achievements can be found on page four.

It is the people that set West Point apart from others and without

you, none of these achievements would be possible. Your belief in

our mission and investment in our cadet-athletes has led us to

new heights. In 2019, we achieved record highs in raising over

$8.3 million from 6,130 generous donors.

In 2020, we’ll take on the most ambitious fundraising project in

the history of the United States Military Academy. The Michie

Stadium Preservation Project will ensure the history and tradition Stadium Preservation Project will ensure the history and tradition

of Michie Stadium carries on for generations to come. As we chart

our path forward with Michie Stadium we cannot ignore the life

blood of our program, the annual fund.

With your continued support and our cadet-athletes relentless

pursuit of excellence, we will continue to succeed as leaders in

the Corps, in the classroom and upon the fields of friendly strife.

On behalf of our more than 1,000 outstanding cadet-athletes On behalf of our more than 1,000 outstanding cadet-athletes

thank you to all that have continued to invest so much.

I look forward to getting to know all of you as we embark on this

journey together!

Go Army!
