Dr. Sho Fukushima, a tenured professor in Physical Education, has guided theNavy gymnastics program for the past 19 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 35 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 mentored Dylan Parrott to an appearance in the highbar finals at the NCAA Championships.

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 212-206 (.507) 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.

Craig Holt will enter his 12th year at the Naval Academy in 2011.Holt brings a wealth of experience and knowledge in the sport of gym-nastics 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 helped guide Dylan Parrott to the high bar finalsat the NCAA Championships.

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 andadvanced as a team to the NCAA Qualifying Meet for the first time inprogram history.

His efforts in the gym have not gone unrecognized, as he wasnamed the 2007 NCAA East Region Assistant Coach of the Year, 2006and ’08 USAG Collegiate Division Assistant Coach of the Year, 2007ECAC Assistant Coach of the Year and 2007 CGA Regional Co-Assis-tant Coach of the Year.

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 pommelhorse. In addition to his coaching duties, Holt also served asa judge at the Maccabiah Games.

Holt came to the Academy after serving as an assistantcoach for one season at William & Mary and two years at hisalma mater, Syracuse.

Holt’s commitment to the Navy program in and out ofthe gym was recognized in 2003 as he was named the ECACAssistant Coach of the 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 PREVIEWLed by two outstanding returners in senior Dylan Parrott and juniorAndrew Faulk, the Navy gymnastics team will look to return to theupper echelon of the ECAC in 2011. Just two years removed from com-peting as a team at the NCAA Championship Qualifying Meet, the Mid-shipmen’s hopes for 2011 are largely based around their two leaders.

“The 2011 Navy gymnastics team will be known to fire the one andtwo torpedoes. Certainly other arsenals from the team are as power-ful as these torpedoes,” said head coach Sho Fukushima, who will beentering his 20th season at Navy in 2011.

A year after graduating six seniors in 2009, Parrott and Faulk emergedas Navy’s most decorated and dominant forces last season. Both Parrottand Faulk competed at the NCAA Qualifying Meet in 2010, with Par-rott advancing all the way to the NCAA Championship high bar finals.

“Both Dylan and Andrew should not only be leading the rest of theteam during the dual meet season, but at the end of the season as well,”said Fukushima. “They should be two of the best all-around performersin the ECAC.”

After a solid 2009, in which he was Navy’s top scorer on the high barin seven of the eight meets in which he competed, Parrott further im-proved as he placed first on six occasions in the event in 2010. At theUSAG Collegiate Division Championship, Parrott won the high bar forthe second consecutive season, and also took home first place in thefloor exercise. He also captured first place in the floor exercise at theECAC Championship.

Parrott’s successful season earned him a trip to the NCAA QualifyingMeet where he competed in the floor exercise, vault, parallel bars andhigh bar. Competing with some of the best in the nation, Parrott ad-vanced to the NCAA Championship finals in the high bar and placed10th, narrowly missing All-America honors.

“Dylan has continually shown that he is a great competitor and one ofthe best High Bar men in the country,” said Fukushima. “His abilitieswere validated with two big high bar routines at the NCAA Champi-onships. With the NCAA finals fresh in his mind, he will bring those ex-periences into this season with the thirst for greater personal successand the desire to lead his team as the captain.”

Equally as impressive as Parrott in 2010 was Faulk. He won a total offour all-around titles last season, including at the Navy Open and Spring-field Tri-Meet. Faulk earned a medal (fourth place) in the all-around atthe USAG Collegiate Division Championships and went on to medal atthe ECAC Championships in the vault (second place) and high bar (thirdplace). Like Parrott, he was also selected to compete in the all-aroundat the NCAA Qualifying Meet where his best finish came in the all-around (eighth).

“Andrew is a workhorse; he led the team with the highest all aroundscore in every meet we competed in last year,” said Fukushima. “Hisleadership contribution goes beyond the scores he put up each week.Andrew is the gymnast who is always taking extra turns on each eventduring practice, while continually supporting his teammates with tech-nical advice or words of motivation.”

While Parrott and Faulk may be the favorites to lead the team, the sup-porting cast will largely determine the success of the Midshipmen as awhole. With just eight student-athletes on the roster, including five fresh-men or sophomores, the experience of Parrot, Faulk and fellow juniorsBrandon Tinkham and Aaron Ingram will be extremely valuable.

“The team may be small in size, but each member is totally committedto devoting themselves toward the team’s excellence,” said Fukushima.

“Brandon and Aaron have steadily been improving by mastering theirpersonal skills and also adding some more difficulties into their rou-tines. It’s not exaggerating to say that these two individuals are the darkhorses in the 2011 race.”

Tinkham competed in every meet last season in the still rings, parallelbars and high bar. Out of all the events he competed in at last season’schampionships, his best finishes came in the still rings, where he placed17th and 10th at the USAG and ECAC Championships, respectively.

Ingram was also a valuable contributor in 2010 as he competed in theall-around in every meet last season. His highest finish in the event cameagainst William & Mary, where he took fourth place. He placed ninth atthe USAG Championships and 13th at the ECAC Championships.

“A lone sophomore gymnast, Austin Zalik, may be the fireplug of theteam,” said Fukushima. “He will be including his unique strength andpower accompanying many of the skills into his routines.”

Despite being just a sophomore, Zalik brings experience as he com-peted in the all-around in every meet last season. His best finish of theseason was third-place against William & Mary and he went on to takeseventh at the USAG Championships and 12th at the ECAC Champi-onships.

Navy’s freshman class includes Nate Gessner, Chris Junghans and JohnParks

“Our three freshmen are all capable and experienced gymnasts,”Fukushima said. “All of us are very excited about their progress andlooking forward to their contribution to the 2011 Navy gymnasticsteam.”

Junghans won 2010 Maryland state championships in the all-around,pommel horse, floor and parallel bars and has significant Junior OlympicNationals experience.

Like Junghans, Parks also has Junior Olympic Nationals experience, hav-ing competed in the event five consecutive years (2006-10).

Gessner, a Circle Pines, Minn., native, competed for Midwest Gymnas-tics.

Navy will open the 2011 campaign with the West Point Open on Jan. 14-15, before hosting the Navy Open on Jan. 22.

The Mids will then travel to Springfield College on Feb. 4 before head-ing back to West Point, N.Y., to face Army in the Star Meet on Feb. 12.

After competing in the 2011 All-Academy Championships in LagunaHills, Calif., on Feb. 20, the Mids will take part in three consecutive dualmeets. Navy will host William & Mary on Feb. 27 and then completethe home-and-home with a return trip to Williamsburg, Va., to take onthe Tribe on March 6.

Navy will meet Temple in Philadelphia, Pa., in its last dual of the seasonon March 19.

The USAG Collegiate Division Championships will take place March25-26, followed by the ECAC Championships April 2-3.

“As usual, the race within our conference will be very tight this sea-son,” Fukushima said. “Illinois-Chicago and Temple may be ranked as thetop-two teams in the conference, and Army, Springfield, William & Maryand Navy may be scrambling for the rest of the positions.”

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.

Additionally, sprint football players Tyler Hawkins ('10)and Ian Cameron ('12) were among 10 midshipmen se-lected for a U.S. Department of State Critical LanguageScholarship, which will allow for them to study Arabic thissummer in Egypt and Jordan, respectively.

ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICANSNaval Academy student-athletes have totaled 75 Aca-demic All-America certificates over the years, with 42 ofthose awards coming since the start of the 1999-2000 aca-demic year.

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.
