SEASON PREVIEWSEASON PREVIEW
2013 SEASON PREVIEWThe Coast Guard women’s cross country team,
under the direction of second-year head coach Ethan Brown seek to make an impact in both the conference and the region. After fi nishing fi fth a season ago at the New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference Championship, the Bears believe that they are on the upswing.
Coast Guard returns four of their top seven scorers from the 2012 NEWMAC championship meet, including senior Meghan Kalinowski and junior Beth Gollin. The Bears will look to improve on last year’s 5th Place NEWMAC and 17th Place NCAA Regional fi nishes.
Also returning will be juniors Kendall Auth and sophomore Melissa Keeley, both of whom fi nished within 26 seconds of one another while serving as scorers in the top sixty spots. In addition to returning four scorers from last year’s team, the Bears will also welcome back sophomore Jessica Mulroy who ran the course in under 21:30.
The returning group should blend nicely with the incoming class. “There are several strong runners in the freshman class that will compete for a scoring position on our team and could be contenders during post-season,” says Coach Brown.
Other returners for Coast Guard will be senior
Chelsea Sheehy, junior Cameo Ulbricht, and sophomores Samantha Corcoran and Tara Larkin.
Returning to assist Coach Brown will be Greg Ahnrud and Mariette Ogg for their second seasons. The Bears will also welcome faculty representative Christopher Armstrong to the staff for his fi rst season.
All in all, the outlook for the 2013 season is very encouraging, according to Coach Brown, “this year could really be a wildcard year for our women’s team. Four of our top seven runners from the 2012 season are returning and all have the potential to move up in the conference.”
Some freshmen that could make an immediate impact in the Bear’s top 7 include Gretchen Krause, Bonny Turnage, Jennifer Haley, and Chloe Benoist. Other newcomers in what is a very strong freshmen class are Claira Dahill-Baue and Kyndall Percival.
The blend of newcomers and returners has Coach Brown anxious to get the season underway, saying “I’m excited to watch everyone’s development through the season.”
The Bears will open the season on Saturday,
September 7 when they travel to Northampton, Mass. for the Smith College Invitational. The women’s meet is scheduled to begin at 11:00 am.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICSDIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
TIM FITZPATRICKDIRECTOR OF ATHLETICSTHIRD YEAR
Tim Fitzpatrick just completed his second academic year as Director of Athletics at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, and on his watch the USCGA’s athletic program has seen growth in several key areas. In addition to securing a comprehensive, fi ve-year shoe and apparel agreement with adidas America for the academy’s 21 NCAA sports, has overseen a rebranding initiative that has resulted in new logos and marks and created an athletic booster organization (the U.S. Coast Guard Academy Bear Club). Under Fitzpatrick’s guidance, the department produced its fi rst-ever women’s professional development seminar (the Women’s LeadHERship Symposium) for female USCGA athletic staff members as well as attendees from colleges and universities throughout New England, and has launched an external program for sale of corporate sponsorships and partnerships.
Fitzpatrick was the Director of Athletics at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi for two years prior to his arrival at USCGA, after spending the previous four years as the Deputy Athletic Director at Indiana University. At Texas A&M – Corpus Christi, Fitzpatrick secured major gifts for construction of a new outdoor tennis center, as well as renovation of the university’s baseball and softball stadiums. He additionally served on the NCAA’s Division I Women’s Basketball Issues Committee while in south Texas, and executed a strategic plan which increased the department’s corporate sponsorship revenue by nearly 40%.
While at Indiana, he was responsible for internal administration of the department, oversaw capital construction and facilities management, and had oversight of the football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball programs. Additionally, Fitzpatrick managed IU’s external units, including marketing, ticket operations, licensing, merchandising, website, and publications.
Additionally, he negotiated a 6-year, $21,000,000 shoe and apparel agreement with adidas America and administered the Hoosiers’ multi-media partnerships with Learfi eld Sports and the Big Ten Network. During his tenure, Indiana realized a ticket sales revenue increase of 15-percent over annual budgeted projections.
Fitzpatrick came to IU after spending the previous fi ve years as COO and associate athletics director for external operations at the U.S. Military Academy. Fitzpatrick directed a fundraising eff ort that saw Army’s “A Club” donor base grow from 750 to 6,700 and annual giving grow from $500,000
to $1.8 million. He also cultivated the Army Sports Network from two radio stations to 18, including 50,000-watt ESPN 1050 in New York City. During his tenure at West Point, corporate sponsorship revenue jumped from $250,000 to $920,000 annually.
He arrived at West Point from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, where he served as the associate athletics director for external aff airs and executive director of the athletic foundation. Fitzpatrick’s work at Charlotte resulted in a 26-percent increase in annual gifts and a 39-percent increase in planned gifts.
Prior to Army and Charlotte, Fitzpatrick served in a similar role at the University of Pittsburgh. In addition to serving as the men’s basketball sport administrator, he directed a staff that generated a school record $1.4 million in sponsorship revenue and a $125,000 increase in annual giving.
Fitzpatrick was a senior associate athletics director at the University of North Texas from May 1994 to June 1996. He was instrumental in UNT’s transition from NCAA Division I-AA football to the Big West Conference, and during the 1994 football season, North Texas was one of three programs nationally to have every football game televised in its home market. This local television package generated more than $700,000 in corporate sponsorship revenue.
He gained considerable experience as Assistant Commissioner of the Southwest Conference from 1992-94. Fitzpatrick negotiated a $2.25 million, three-year men’s basketball tournament title sponsorship with the Dr. Pepper Company, and he also oversaw the league’s national and local television syndication eff orts.
Fitzpatrick began his athletic administration career as the assistant marketing director at Army before moving on to Virginia Commonwealth as the director of marketing and Ticket Sales (1984-87) and Assistant Athletics Director for Marketing and Public Relations from 1987-92.
A 1981 graduate of Hampden-Sydney College with a bachelor’s degree in English, Fitzpatrick earned his master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1982.
