#8 Mike KazlauskyHead CoachThird YearUSAFA, 1991

Mike Kazlausky enters his third year as Air Force baseball head coach in 2013. Kazlausky was named head baseball coach on June 2, 2011, by Athletic Director Dr. Hans Mueh. Ka-zlausky retired from active duty, effective June 1, 2011, and his interim tag was lifted to official head coach status. Kazlausky signed a three-year contract through the 2014 season. A for-mer player and Academy graduate, Kazlausky epitomizes what it means to don the Falcon baseball Blue and White. Kazlausky, known as “Coach Kaz” is a 1991 Academy graduate and has logged six years as an assistant coach at the Academy. He is the first Academy graduate to become head base-ball coach at Air Force and was the program’s first military coach since 1988. Kazlausky retired with the rank of major after 20 years of meritorious service with the U.S. Air Force. As the interim head coach in 2011,

Kazlausky led the Falcons to a 19-36 overall record, leading the program to the most wins since 2002. The 19 wins were also the second-most in school history against Division I op-ponents and the most Division I wins by a first-year head coach at the Academy.

In 2012, Air Force went 14-39 with a young team that often times started as many as five freshmen in the field. The Falcons posted a 6.10 team ERA that was the second-lowest in the past 30 years. The Falcons featured two All-Mountain West selections in junior catcher Garrett Custons and sophomore designated hitter Seth Kline. The Falcons also posted their first winning season at home since 2002 and defeated a Big 12 school (Kansas) for the first time since 2001. In addition, Air Force set a school record with 46 sacrifice bunts. In his first year, Kazlausky led Air Force to its first win over a Pac 10 school in 21 years and

its first four-game sweep since 2003. The team fielded .960 to set a new school record. Sophomore Garrett Custons earned First-Team All-Mountain West honors by ranking in the conference top 10 in 11 categories. Sopho-more right-hander Sean Carley posted one of the best seasons ever by a Falcon pitcher, earn-ing second-team All-MW honors, the first Fal-con pitcher to earn all-conference honors since 2002. Carley posted a 3.94 earned run average, the lowest at the Academy in 28 years. His 4.10 ERA in conference games set a school record in the Mountain West era. Air Force lowered its team ERA by over five runs a game from the 2010 season (11.31 to 6.09). The 6.09 team ERA was the lowest at Air Force in 29 years, dating back to 1982. “This is my school and no one is more proud than I to have gone through the Academy and to have served for 20 years in the Air Force,” Ka-zlausky said. “I look forward to having the op-

Kazlausky and Kansas head coach Ritch Price exchange hats prior to Kansas-Air Force game in 2011.

Head Coach Mike Kazlausky

portunity to continue to represent our United States Air Force Academy! It is a tremendous honor and a privilege to be associated with the Academy and the Air Force as the Head Baseball Coach. I have a great understanding of all the pillars at the Academy, and I truly understand the mission of the Academy and the Air Force. Our job, as a staff, is to ensure success not only on the baseball field but in all facets of the Academy and that each young man is ready to lead our great country upon graduation!” As one of the most inspirational and emotional players to ever wear the Air Force baseball uni-form, 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 Fal-cons, “Kaz” spent three seasons from 1993 to 1995 as an assistant coach to former Falcon head coach Paul Mainieri, now the head skip-per at LSU. During this time, the Falcons posted three consecutive winning seasons. The 1994 team led the nation in batting average, slug-ging 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 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 baseball coach for the Falcons as well as the Preparatory School head base-ball coach. During his tenure, the 2002 Falcon team set the school record for most Div. I victo-ries 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 Academy from 2006-2008 for this third tour as an assistant baseball coach. Kazlausky spent 2010 as an Air Officer Commanding (AOC) for cadet squadron 12 at the Academy. In 2007, Kazlausky was inducted to the Lake County Hall of Fame in Lake County, Ill., for outstanding achievement. In 2008, he was in-ducted into the 14th Airlift Squadron Hall of Fame in Charleston, S.C.. Coach Kaz and his wife, Kris, live in Monument with their daughter, Sammy and son, Mick.

Pitching Coach Tim Dixon

#37 Tim DixonPitching CoachThird YearCal State Fullerton

Tim Dixon enters his third year as pitching coach at Air Force.

In his fi rst two years, Dixon has been instrumental in directing the Fal-con pitching staff to the greatest turnarounds in school history.

The 2012 team continued to build off the solid 2011 campaign by post-ing a 6.10 earned run average, the second-lowest at the Academy in the last 30 years. The Falcon pitching staff combined for eight complete games, the most since 2003. Its 29 home runs allowed were the fewest since 1975 and the 22 homers allowed in conference play were the low-est total ever. The pitching staff also had its lowest opponent batting average since 1993. Under Dixon’s guidance, Air Force had four starting pitchers log 64-plus innings, the most since 2003. Senior right-hander Evan Abrecht capped off his four-year career with 95.1 innings pitched, the eight-best total in school history.

In his fi rst season in 2011, Dixon helped lower AFA’s team earned run average by over fi ve runs a game from the 2010 season (11.31 to 6.09) which led to the program’s second-most wins over Div. I opponents in school history. The 6.09 team ERA was the lowest at Air Force in 29 years, dating back to 1982. In addition, Air Force earned its fi rst win over a Pac 10 school in 21 years and swept a four-game series for the fi rst time since 2003. Of Air Force’s 12 returning pitchers in 2011, 11 lowered their ERA from the previous season. Sophomore right-hander Sean Carley turned in one of the most dominant seasons in school history, earning second-team All-Mountain West honors, the fi rst Falcon pitcher to earn all-con-ference since 2002. His 3.94 ERA was the lowest at Air Force in 28 years and his 4.10 ERA in Mountain West play set a new school record. In ad-dition, sophomore closer Stephen Colangelo recorded seven saves for the fi fth-best mark in school history. Dixon came to the Academy after spending four seasons on the base-ball staff at Southern Illinois University. Prior to SIU, Dixon coached two years at both Feather Riv-er College (Quincy, Calif.) and two years at the University of Pacifi c, a member of the Big West Conference. In his four years at SIU as the Saluki pitching coach, Dixon coached seven draft picks (Cody Adams, Jordan Powell, Kyle Catto, David Kington, Byant George, Ryan Brad-ley, and Nathen Forer), a freshman all-American (Bryant George) and four all-conference honorees (George-three times, Adams, Adam Curynski and Forer). Adams was se-lected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the second round (62nd overall) of the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft, becoming SIU’s highest draft pick since 2004. In 2009, George became SIU’s all-time leader in saves as a junior and fi nished his career with 30 saves. While at Pacifi c, he handled the pitching staff and, in those years, had three pitchers selected in the MLB Draft. Before joining the college coaching ranks, Dixon served as the pitching coach at Archbishop Mitty High School in Sara-toga, Calif. Mitty won back-to-back West Catholic League Championships and was ranked as high as seventh in the

country during the 2002 season. Dixon and his staff helped send several players to Division I programs. As a player, Dixon pitched for six seasons at the professional level with the Expos, Brewers and Red Sox organizations. Drafted in the 14th round of the 1995 MLB Amateur Draft, he went on to spend three of his six years in Triple A with the Expos and Red Sox. While pitching for the Harrisburg Senators -- the AA affi liate of the Expos -- Dixon won back-to-back Eastern League Championships, fi nishing his career with an overall 3.30 ERA and a 2:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. As a student-athlete at Cal State Fullerton, Dixon and the Titans won the 1995 Division I National Championship, beating USC, 11-5. Dixon pitched the semi-fi nal game in Omaha, shutting out Tennessee, 11-0. The (combined) shutout was the last shutout thrown in the College World Series for eight years until Kyle Baker of Georgia Tech (combined) for a shutout in an 11-0 victory over South Carolina in the 2002 CWS. Dixon was 13-0 overall with a 3.43 ERA in 1995. Dixon still holds the record for most victories without a loss at Fullerton. Dixon received his bachelor’s degree from National University in 2001 and master’s in sports psychology from Optimal Performance Institute in 2008. “To be a part of what the Air Force Academy represents is truly an honor and privilege,” Dixon said. “I want to thank everyone that was involved in the hiring process and I am excited to be part of the great-est institution in the country! I look forward to being around such high quality young men and women who have made the ultimate decision to serve our country. Alongside everyone involved with Falcon base-ball, I look forward to raising the expectations of the program to the standards of what the Air Force Academy and the Air Force represents.” Dixon and his wife, Kendra, reside in Colorado Springs with their daugh-ter, Hailey and son, Brayden.

Assistant Coach Toby Bicknell

#42 Toby BicknellAssistant CoachThird YearWingate, 2002

Toby Bicknell enters his third year as assistant baseball coach at the Air Force Academy. Bicknell, who coaches the hitters and defense, along with running the off ense from third base, also spearheads the recruiting eff orts for the Falcons. Air Force baseball’s 2013 recruiting class is ranked #67 in the nation ac-cording to Perfect Game. The Falcons crack Perfect Game’s Top 100 rankings for the fi rst time in program history. The Falcons have 10 commitments so far for the 2013-14 class. Air Force has three commits that are top 10-ranked players in their respective states. The Falcons are the lone Top 100 representative from the Mountain West (for teams playing in MW in 2014). In 2012 Bicknell coached a trio of Falcons to Mountain West Baseball All-Conference team. The Falcons were led by senior Blair Roberts who earned fi rst-team honors at second base. Roberts earned the selection with a .302 conference batting average, becoming Air Force’s fi rst all-conference middle infi elder in the Mountain West era. Junior Garrett Custons was named second-team catcher, be-coming Air Force’s fi rst two-time all-conference honoree since 2003. Sophomore Seth Kline earned second team honors at DH/Utility, raising his batting average 84 points and slugging by 150 points in just one season. The Falcons also set a school record with 46 sacrifi ce bunts and ranked 33rd in the nation in triples per game. Defensively, the Falcons fi elded .959 on the sea-son, the second-best mark in school history. The Falcon catchers (Garrett Custons and Brian Sicher) combined to throw out 30 baserunners on the season ranking second in the Mountain West. Their 53.6 percent runners thrown out average was tops in the conference. In 2011, Bicknell helped lead the Fighting Falcons to the most wins since 2002, their fi rst win over a Pac-10 school in 21 years and their fi rst series sweep since 2003. Defensively, Air Force set the school record for fi elding percentage at .960. Several Falcon players accomplished career highlights in 2011 including senior Nathan Carter who set the NCAA Division I record with 33 career triples. Carter also led the Mountain West Conference with seven triples. Sophomore Garrett Custons ranked in the top 10 among the Mountain West in 11 off ensive categories while garnering a First-Team All-Mountain West selection. Bicknell spent the 2009 and 2010 seasons at Davidson College. At Davidson, Bicknell dramatically helped turn around the Wildcat off ense and defense. Dur-ing his fi rst season with the Wildcats, the 2009 team improved in eight off ensive categories - home runs (30 to 66), doubles (89 to 122), runs scored (272 to 313), RBIs (252 to 283), total bases (647 to 827), slugging percentage (.375 to .468), on-base percentage and stolen bases (45 to 56), and fi nished seventh or higher in the Southern Conference in fi ve off ensive categories. Davidson had fi ve start-ers that batted over .300, three with double-digit homers and four starters with double-digits in doubles. Individually, several Wildcat hitters showed major improvements and turned in career-best seasons. Zach Kayne, drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the 22nd round of the 2009 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, broke the school record with 22 doubles, while hitting a career-high 10 home runs and leading the team with a .340 average. Drew Gadaire earned a spot on the All-Freshman Southern Conference team, after hitting 11 home runs in his rookie season, and Danny Weiss was named to the All-Southern Conference Second Team as the designated hitter. The Davidson College 2010 season was highlighted by a 2-2 record vs. ACC teams including wins over Duke and nationally ranked #16 Virginia Tech. The Wildcats also made great strides defensively, committing 13 less errors than the 2009 team, improving their fi elding percentage to .960 and turning 36 double plays. The 2010 season saw Andrew Barna earn SoCon All-Freshman and Fresh-man All-American. Prior to his time at Davidson, Bicknell spent two seasons as the Volunteer assistant coach at Clemson University. During his time at Clemson, Bicknell worked primarily with infi elders and hitters along with coordinating summer camps at Clemson. The Tigers compiled a 70-51-1 record during his two years and he coached fi ve players who were picked in the Major League Baseball draft. During the 2008 season, the Tigers boasted one of the toughest schedules in the country, taking fi ve games over top-25 opponents, seven over regional teams and three over super regional teams. In his fi rst season at Clemson in 2007, Bicknell helped coach one of the best infi elds in Tiger history, led by fi rst baseman Andy D’Alessio, shortstop Taylor Har-bin, and third baseman Marquez Smith. Smith was a First Team All-ACC selection

who hit .336 with 13 homers and 56 RBIs, while D’Alessio, who was the MVP of the regionals, batted .319 with 17 home runs and 50 RBIs. Harbin added 19 doubles, 11 homers, and a team-high 62 RBIs. The Tigers advanced to the NCAA Super Regional in 2007 after capturing the NCAA Regional title. Clemson had 12 wins over teams ranked in the top-25 of several of the baseball polls and had a school-record 11 players selected in 2007 MLB draft, including fi ve players in the fi rst three rounds. Prior to his time at Clemson, Bicknell spent two years as an assistant coach at North Carolina-Pembroke. The Braves posted a record of 63-47 in those two years, received a national ranking as high as seventh, and posted back-to-back 30 win seasons for the fi rst time in program history, while tying the school record for wins at 32. The 2006 team posted school records in seven off ensive catego-ries while also having six of its starters hit .315 or better. Defensively, the Braves set program records for fi elding percentage, putouts and assists. Bicknell also coached All-American Jason Morales, who was eventually drafted by the Kansas City Royals. In eight years at the collegiate level, Bicknell has coached 14 all-conference players, two Freshman All-Americans, and eight MLB draft picks. All totaled, Bick-nell has tutored 11 MLB draft picks. Bicknell spent the 2003 and 2004 seasons at nearby Myers Park High School in Charlotte, NC. The 2003 Mustangs were Western North Carolina State Champi-ons and NC 4A State runner-up. That team contained fi ve future Division I players including former North Carolina pitcher Robert Woodard, who was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 2007 MLB Draft. From 2000-2004 Bicknell was a part of the On Deck O’s where he coached 18 players that went on to play college baseball. Between 1998-00, Bicknell served as an assistant coach at Providence Se-nior High School in Charlotte, while also assisting with the Post 235 Matthews American Legion Team. Bicknell, who is entering his 14th year as a coach, has spent seven years in all coaching high school and travel baseball in the Charlotte area. He has coached 30 high school players that have gone on to play college baseball (25 at the Divi-sion I level), including seven ACC Players, 10 Southern Conference players, and three that were drafted by MLB. Bicknell was a starter on the 2002 Wingate baseball team, where he played third base. The Charlotte native lettered three times at Charlotte Christian School from 1995-97. He earned all-conference honors as a junior and senior and was all-state and All-Mecklenburg County as a senior. He also was a starter on the Knights football team both his junior and senior years, including starting quarterback his senior season. Bicknell, earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education at Wingate Uni-versity in 2002, and his master’s degree in sports administration at UNC-Pem-broke in 2006. Bicknell and his wife Faith have been married fi ve years and reside in Monument, CO.

#17 Adam CurynskiAssistant CoachFirst YearSouthern Illinois, 2011

Adam Curynski enters his first first year as volunteer assistant coach. Curynski comes to the Academy from the University of Wisconsin-Stout, where he was an assistant coach. “We are excited to have Adam Curynski as a part of our Air Force Acad-emy Baseball family,” Falcon baseball head coach Mike Kazlausky said. “He brings in a wealth of baseball knowledge along with a high level of energy, passion, and enthusiasm to our program. Coach Curynski understands the importance of the impact that he will have on these young men as he prepares them not only as a baseball players, but as future military officers and leaders of our country.” Curynski lettered two years at Southern Illinois, earning All-Missouri Val-ley Conference in 2008 as a pitcher.

Season Outlook

Air Force baseball begins its 2013 season on Friday, Feb. 15. Head coach Mike Kazlausky sat down and answered some questions about the upcoming season.

Q: Can you give us an early assessment of

the 2013 Falcons?

A: We, as a staff, our very excited about the 2013 season. We have 10 seniors returning this year, meaning we have a lot of leadership. The leadership qualities have been evident through Fall Ball, preseason workouts and so far this early Spring. I am very impressed with the dedication and commitment our upper-classmen have shown in getting prepared for this season. Complementing our big senior class, we have a solid core of juniors and sophomores that are looking to build off of last season. We

also add a talented freshman class where we envision several rookies contributing immedi-ately. Our cadets have only been outside practic-ing for a few weeks, but the intensity, determi-nation and focus to improve has gotten better and better with each day. The energy, the pas-sion, the drive and determination to get better has been off the charts with this group. Again, our seniors have been a great conduit in in-stilling this drive to succeed with our younger guys and it’s been fun to watch our guys work-ing their tails off to get better. One of our team goals this year is to move up in the Mountain West standings from years’ past. This conference is always tough year-in and year-out, so we will have our work cut out for us. But this group has shown the willing-ness and desire to get better and I have no doubt that we will be successful this season. We get to play in the conference tourna-ment this year and our Cadets are very excited about that opportunity. We’ll be looking to build towards the postseason so that we’re playing our best ball late this year.

Q: Team motto for this year?

A: Out team motto for this year is really simple. Commit. All that it means is that when you’re down at the ball field, in the weight room, in the classroom, or in your squadron--commit. Commit to doing everything possible and be at your best. We understand that being at the Air Force Academy, it’s a lot more than look-ing at the outcome of a baseball game. It’s about building future leaders for our Air Force. This place is the trial ground before going out into the real world and leading our Air Force.

Through the adver-sity and heat-of-the-moment battles they’ll go through on the baseball field, we hope these moments help them become better prepared when they have to go out into battle as a member of our Air Force.

Q: Who will be your team captain this year?

A: Our team captain is senior second baseman Matthew Roberts. He’s done a fan-tastic job as a leader and we expect him to continue to be a strong builder of character for our young men. Matt is our team captain, but our entire senior class will be leading the team. They’ve been through it all in their first three years. They’re hungry to leave the Academy on a high note and to leave a lasting legacy with the program.

Season Outlook

Q: Can you give us a quick rundown of the

lineup?

A: We will have returning starters at almost every position in the field and it’s a luxury to have some stability early in the season. Across the infield, the projected lineup will be sopho-more Noah Pierce at third, senior Matt Thorne at shortstop, Matthew Roberts at second and junior Seth Kline at first. Senior Garrett Cus-tons and sophomore Brian Sicher will share duties at catcher. Custons will also see time in the outfield. In the outfield, senior Alex Bast will see

time in center and left field. Two sport (Foot-ball) athlete David Baska will see time in the outfield along with sophomore David Thomas. We also have three freshman that could see time in the RF/DH spots in Zach Reks, Spencer Draws and Mariano Long. Q: How is the pitching staff shaping up?

A: It’s another area with a mix of veterans and young arms. Our weekend rotation will start out with junior Cameron White, senior Ben Ber-telson and freshman Steven Trojan. The fourth spot is currently up for grabs with either senior Alex Baker and freshman Trent Monaghan bat-tling it out. Junior David Baska and sophomore Ben Yokley will get the early looks to close out games. Our bullpen will rely heavily on a senior-laden group of Matt Zettler, Jack Hou-rin and Todd Del Toro. Sophomore lefty Dil-lon Freeman will see action with freshmen Bo Wilson, Brady Weaver, Chris Cecil, and Drew Krassny. We have a lot of arms in the bullpen this season. With the mix of veteran and young arms, we will make the determination on who is up for the task at hand.

Q: Can you talk about the 2013 schedule?

A: We are very excited to start the season off against a strong UTSA squad. The Freedom Classic with Navy is always a great venue along with an opportunity to play our Brothers’ in Arms. The four games at the Snowbird Classic in Port Charlotte, Fla., will give us some quality opponents in good weather. After a weekend slate against a tough Gardner Webb team, we open Mountain West play against newcomer Nevada. Both Nevada and Fresno State join our league and will make this a tougher base-ball conference. One thing we will be trying to do on each trip this year, is getting out and doing a com-munity service event. Our Cadets have so much to offer and I believe that it’s important for our guys, for their own growth and matu-ration, to give back and be involved with the greater community. They are going to go on an serve our nation and I want our guys to be as well rounded individuals as possible when they leave the Academy.

Q: Anything else you’d like to add?

A: Yes, I’d like to mention our fantastic as-sistant coaches. Pitching coach Tim Dixon and assistant coach Toby Bicknell enter their third season with me in the program. It takes more than one coach to build a program and Tim and Toby have done an excellent job in preparing us to get to that next level we con-stantly strive to get to. In addition, new Volun-teer Coach Adam Curynski has been a valuable new addition.

Abrecht Named Team MVP

Senior RHP Evan Abrecht was named named Air Force’s team MVP for the 2012 season. The Farm-ington, Ark., native led the Falcons with a 4-5 re-cord and 4.81 ERA to go with 65 strikeouts in 95.1 innings pitched. Abrecht also posted a 3-4 record and 5.43 ERA in MW play to go with 43 strikeouts in 63.0 innnings. Abrecht ranks in the single-sea-son top 10 for innings pitched and the conference single-season top 10 for wins, ERA, innings pitched and strikeouts. Abrecht also helped the Falcons beat New Mexico for the first time since 2006, with a 1-0 shutout win. It was just the second shutout thrown by the Falcons in a Mountain West game.

Most MW Wins Since 2002

Air Force’s five Mountain West Conference wins are the most by a Falcon baseball team since 2002, when the program won 14 games. Air Force had managed just four conference wins three times in the past nine years.

Records Fall

Three school records were set by the 2012 team. The Falcons set a new school record with 46 sac bunts, surpassing the previous record of 44 by the 2010 team. Senior reliever Mike Kazakoff set two school records. Kazakoff tied the school record with 33 pitching appearances. In addition, Kazakoff pitched in 11 straight games at one point in the season, a new Falcon record.

Air Force also had the second-best fielding season in school history, fielding .959, which was one per-centage point shy of the .960 set by the 2011 team. Freshman Noah Pierce had seven sacrifice bunts which was one shy of the school freshman record.

First Win Over Big 12 School Since 2001

Air Force’s 3-0 win over Kansas on May 5 was its first win over a Big 12 Conference school since the 2001 season. The Falcons swept Iowa State in a three-game set in 2001.

Air Force Head Coaches

Paul Mainieri’s legacy at the Academy will not soon be forgotten. An enthusiastic coach with a burning desire for success, Mainieri is the only coach in school history to win 20 or more games in six consecutive seasons. The Miami, Fla., native posted a 12-4 mark in service academy games. He coached three of AFA’s eight All-Americans, two of the seven freshman All-Americans and 12 of AFA’s

42 all-conference players. Mainieri has the second-most wins in school history with 152 from 1989-94. In 1989, he led the Falcons to their best conference re-cord (13-13) in AFA history. In 1993 and 1994, he led the Falcons to consecutive winning seasons for the first time in 15 years.

Mainieri’s teams consistently ranked among the nation’s top hitting teams. In 1994, the Falcons led the nation in batting average, triples per game and slugging percentage. The team also ranked third in scoring and sixth in home runs.

Following the 1994 season, Mainieri left the Academy to take the head coaching position at the University of Notre Dame.

In 12 seasons with the Irish, Mainieri kept the program as a perennial national powerhouse, posting a 533-213-3 record, lead-ing the Irish to the 2002 College World Series.

As a testament to Mainieri’s coaching legacy, he was hired as head baseball coach at LSU, one of the most storied programs in collegiate baseball history, in 2007 and begins his fifth year with the Tigers. In 2009, Mainieri led the Tigers to the NCAA national title by winning the CWS, giving LSU its sixth national title. Mainieri was also CollegeBaseballInsider.com and Rivals.com Coach of the year in 2009.

Joe Robison could be called the “Father of Air Force Baseball.” His 282 wins are the most in school history and 130 more than the next closest coach (Mainieri). Robison led the 1979 team to a 33-13 record, the highest win total in school history. His 1980 team was 27-9-1 and posted the second-best

winning percentage in school history. Robison led the Falcons to eight winning seasons, the most of any coach in AFA history.

Robison led the Falcons into a new era in 1981 as the Fal-cons joined the Western Athletic Conference. Robison coached five seasons in the WAC and produced the most WAC wins (44) and the most WAC wins per season (8.8) in school history. During his 14 seasons, Robison coached four GTE/CoSIDA academic All-Americans and seven all-WAC performers.

After leaving the Academy, Robison served as a scout in pro-fessional baseball. Robison helped build the New York Yankee baseball club that won the 1996, 1998 and 1999 World Series champi-onships.

He is currently the asst. head coach, co-offensive coordinator with the Air Force football team.

The 2002 AFA graduate began the 2003 season pitching for the Gulf Coast League Red Sox in the GCL Rookie League where he posted a 2.70 earned run average. Midway through the season, Kaercher was promoted to the Portland Sea

In His Own Words

I came from a baseball family. My dad, Jimmy Bloodworth, played in the majors 1939-1951 (missing most of three seasons during WWII). He forgot more baseball than I ever learned. The best job I have ever had was being the captain of the ’64 baseball team. We had outstand-ing hitters but we also had a team pitching ERA of about 3.5, led by Fred Olmsted and Pete Bracci, with Allan McArtor behind the plate. We also had Jim Steed and Bruce Huneke, two of the best ever to play for the Falcons. When you have been out of the Academy for 20 years or more, your best memories of the Academy will be of your days playing baseball for the Falcons. Give it your all; you will remember these days for a lifetime.

Colorado Springs

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

When teacher and poet Katherine Lee Bates took a wagon ride to the summit of Pikes Peak she was inspired to write a song that is still recited today. Her view from atop the 14,110-foot peak was the basis of her song “America the Beautiful”.

The history of Colorado Springs traverses back to 1870 when Gen. William Jackson Palmer first visited the region and was captivated by its grandeur. A year later, he began designing his city of dreams. From its beginning on the corner of Pikes Peak and Cascade Avenues in downtown Colorado Springs, the city has grown more than 183 square miles and to nearly 400,000 people in the city and 600,000 in the metro area.

Colorado Springs is known nationally for its natural attractions. The Garden of the Gods, the area’s No. 1 natural attraction, is a ma-jestic out-cropping of red sandstone rocks which are more than 300 million years old. Colorado Springs is also home to the Pikes Peak Highway, a 19-mile drive up the world’s highest toll road. The area’s No. 1 man-made attraction is the Air Force Academy’s Cadet Chapel.

Another major attraction is the Broadmoor Hotel and Resort. Built in the early 1900s, this five-star resort, hosted the 1995 U.S. Women’s Open Golf Championship and the 2008 Senior U.S. Open, and is nes-tled into the base of Cheyenne Mountain. The Pikes Peak region is home to the nation’s only mountain zoo. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, with an elevation of more than 6,800-feet, has received several changes in the past two years.

For the outdoors enthusiast, the city and the state offer a pleth-ora of recreational activities. A short drive to the northwest features some of the nation’s finest ski resorts, including the cities of Vail and Aspen. A short jaunt to the southwest or northwest will find some of the best white-water rafting, fishing, hiking and cycling that the country has to offer.

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

AMERICA’S BESTColorado Springs was ranked in 2007 as the No. 1 Best Big City (over 300,000) to Live by

Money Magazine based on quality of life, climate, social

activities, cleanliness and safety.

Denver

Less than 45 minutes from the Academy and with over 300 days of sunshine per year, The Mile High 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), Denver Dynamite (Indoor Soccer League), Denver Outlaws (Major League Lacrosse) and the Colorado Mammoth (Na-tional Lacrosse League). Recent success among the teams has driven the excitement for these teams a mountain high. The Broncos won the Super Bowl in 1998 and 1999. The Avalanche won the Stanley Cup in 1996 and 2001. The Rockies played in the World Series in 2007.

Located just east of the Rocky Mountains and the Continental Di-vide, Denver has a mild and dry climate with more days of sunshine per year than San Diego and Miami. Golf courses are open year round as the average winter temperature is 45 degrees, warmer than Bos-ton, 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 city and the peaks of the mountain range reach heights of more than 14,000 feet. Despite the proximity to the mountains, the city receives just 8-15 inches of precipitation per year, about the same as Los Angeles.

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

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

The Air Force Academy

The United States Air Force Academy offers a four-year program of instruction and experience de-signed to educate, train and inspire men and women to become officers of character, motivated to lead the United States Air Force in service to our nation. Each cadet graduates with a bachelor of science de-gree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Air Force.

Course of Study Cadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that provides the knowledge, skills and responsibilities essential 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 humanities. 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 sciences and humanities. Some of the most popular majors include manage-ment, aeronautical engineering, foreign area stud-ies, history, behavioral science, civil engineering, 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 established outstanding records of perfor-mance and dedication. 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 con-tinuity. Faculty members are intensely focused on cadet learning as an integral part of their officer develop-ment. 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 vis-iting professors 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. Distinguished 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 improve physical fitness, teach athletic skills and develop leadership qualities. To achieve its goals, the Academy offers some of the most extensive physical education, intramural sports and intercol-legiate 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-oriented military education, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues through-out the four years. Seniors are responsible for the organizational leadership of the cadet wing, while juniors and sophomores seek to develop team and interpersonal leadership and instructional skills. Ca-dets are projected into as many active leadership roles as possible to prepare them to be effective Air Force officers. Fundamental concepts of military organization -- drill, ethics, honor, Air Force heritage and physical training -- are emphasized the first summer during basic cadet training. Freshmen then study the mili-tary role in United States society as well as the mis-sion and organization of the Air Force. Sophomores receive instruction in communication skills and ju-niors study the combat and operational aspects of the Air Force. The Academy offers courses in flying, naviga-tion, soaring and parachuting, building from basic skills to instructor 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 sum-mer. Combat survival training is a required three-week program during cadets’ second summer. For other second-summer training periods, cadets have options such as working with Airmen in an op-erational unit at an Air Force installation, airborne parachute training, soaring or basic free-fall para-chute training. During their last two summers, all cadets are of-fered leadership training as supervisors or instruc-tors 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 programs available.

History of The Academy

In 1948, a board of leading civil-

ian and military educators was ap-

pointed to plan the curriculum for an

academy that would meet the needs

of the newly established Air Force.

The board determined that Air Force

requirements could not be met by ex-

panding the other service academies

and recommended an Air Force Acad-

emy be established without delay.

In 1949, then Secretary of the Air

Force W. Stuart Symington appointed

a commission to assist in selecting a

site and on April 1, 1954, President

Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized

creation of the United States Air Force

Academy. After considering 580 sites

in 45 states, the commission narrowed

the choice to three locations. The

summer of 1954, Secretary of the Air

Force Harold Talbott selected a site

near Colorado Springs, Colo. Colo-

rado contributed $1 million toward

purchase of the property.

In July 1955, the first Academy

class entered interim facilities at

Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while

construction began. It was sufficiently

completed for occupancy by the cadet

wing in late August 1958. Initial con-

struction cost was $142 million.

Women entered the Academy on

June 28, 1976, as members of the class

of 1980.

Director of Athletics

Dr. Hans J. Mueh is in his ninth year as the director of athletics at the Air Force Academy. A retired Air Force brigadier general, Mueh was vice dean of faculty for two years prior to his re-tirement from active duty in the summer of 2004. Mueh was heavily involved in Academy athletics before becoming director of athletics. He was the Academy’s faculty athletics representative from 1996-2004 and was a long-time member of the board of directors for the Air Force Academy Athletics Association.

Since becoming the director of athletics, Mueh has led the Academy to some remarkable feats. In 2007, the Academy was one of only three schools (Michigan State and Boston College) to reach post-season play in football (2007), men’s bas-ketball and ice hockey (2006-07). It marked the first time a service academy has ever had a team compete in the post-season in all three sports.

In addition, under Mueh’s watch the men’s basketball team has played in another NCAA tournament and the National Invitational Tourna-ment’s Final Four. The ice hockey team has won the conference championship and advanced to the NCAA tournament five of the last six years. Mueh was on the selection committee that hired current head coach Frank Serratore and led the Academy’s move into the Athletic Hockey As-sociation.

The football program, the Academy’s flagship sport, has gone through a major overhaul under Mueh. He led the transition from the retirement of the legendary Fisher DeBerry after 23 years at the helm to hiring current head coach Troy Calhoun, a 1989 Academy graduate. Calhoun’s impact was immediate, leading the Falcons to a 9-4 overall

mark and a second-place finish in the Mountain West Conference in 2007. The Falcons qualified for their first bowl game in five years, playing in the Armed Forces Bowl in 2007. The program has gone to a school-record five consecutive bowl games and averaged over 9,000 bowl tickets sold during that time.

Mueh has been just as successful behind the scenes with the administration of the department. Mueh restructured the department with an inter-nal/external model that has streamlined resources and made the department more effective from top to bottom. In addition, he has the department on course to become a federally chartered non-profit organization which will lead to more fund-raising opportunities.

Mueh was instrumental in the USAFA En-dowment and the announcement of the Holaday Athletic Center, an indoor training facility. The $15 million facility was completed in July 2011.

Mueh has also been active within the confer-ence and the NCAA. He was recently selected to be part of the NCAA Division I Amateurism Cabinet and has been active on the NCAA’s aca-demics/eligibility compliance cabinet, the men’s golf committee and the region 7 postgraduate scholarship committee. Mueh has been equally active within the conference on various leader-ship committees. He is currently on the awards and recognition committee and has previously served on the joint council executive committee, and committees on championships, television and sportsmanship.

Before assuming his duties as vice dean at the Academy, Mueh was permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry at the Acad-emy, a position he held since October 1987 where he oversaw the annual design and instruction of 25 undergraduate courses for 1,500 cadets annu-ally.

Mueh was born Jan. 8, 1944, in Celle, Ger-many, and emigrated to the United States in 1951. He entered the Air Force in 1962 as a member of the Academy’s eighth graduating class, and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in chemistry in 1966. While at the Academy, Mueh was a two-year letterwinner in soccer as a goalie. He still holds the Academy record for saves in a game with 30, accomplishing it twice in 1965 against North Carolina and Benedictine. In his

junior and senior years, Mueh helped the Falcons to the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League championship and quarterfinal berths in the NCAA tournament. He was a first-team all-league selection in 1965.

Following graduation, Mueh completed two assignments in intelligence before attending the University of Wisconsin where he earned his master’s degree in chemistry in 1970. He later earned a doctorate degree in chemistry from Wis-consin in 1976 as a distinguished graduate. He has also completed Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College and Air War Col-lege.

Between earning the two degrees, Mueh re-turned to the Academy as an instructor in the department of chemistry from 1970-72. He also served as assistant soccer coach and played semi-pro soccer with the Aurora Internationals in Denver during those two years, leading the Inter-nationals to the Colorado state title in 1971. He volunteered for duty in Vietnam and served as an intelligence officer in Saigon, Republic of Viet-nam and at Nakhon Phanom RTAB, Thailand, in 1972 and 1973.

After earning his doctorate degree, Mueh re-turned to the Academy in 1976 as an associate professor of chemistry. He remained at the Acad-emy except for a stint in 1985-86 as the special assistant for technical matters at the Defense In-telligence Agency at the Pentagon.

In 1986, he assumed the position of acting head, department of chemistry, before being se-lected for his position of permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry in 1987. As faculty athletics representative, he was active in both the Western Athletic Conference and Moun-tain West Conference, and was the Academy’s representative on the transition team to form the new MWC, the only faculty athletics representa-tive on the team. He competes in golf, racquet-ball, handball and tennis, and has promoted Air Force Academy intercollegiate sports through-out his tenure, beginning with work as chairman of the hockey eligibility committee, officer rep-resentative to the men’s golf team and five years as the officer representative to the football team.

Mueh is married to the former Sally Flax of Cincinnati, Ohio. They have three children: Kris-tine, Kurt and Deborah.

Air Force Athletics

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, intramurals and physical education.

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

sanctioned teams, facing some of the top competition in the nation.

Men’s teams are football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, cross-

country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse,

rifle, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo and wrestling.

The Academy fields women’s teams in basketball, cross-country, fenc-

ing, 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 Confer-

ence. The Falcons compete in this conference against teams from Boise

State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Hawai’i (football only), Nevada,

New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV and Wyoming. All sports also

compete against non-conference opponents, including many national-

lyranked 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 18 times, which is more than any

other academy. The winner of the annual rivalry visits the White House

to have the trophy presented by the President of the United States.

The USAFA Cadet Field House is one of the most impressive build-

ings 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 5,858. The Cadet Ice Rink has a seating capacity

of 2,470, while the multipurpose area seats 1,000 fans for track and

field competitions.

Indoor Hitting Facility

The Falcon indoor facility was built in 2006. The state-of-the-art facility is located along the

southeast corner of Falcon Field.

The new facility features three cages for hitting and pitching practice, player lockers,

bathrooms and showers.

In the coming years, a second floor is slated to be added to the facility and will feature the coaches offices, pitching lanes

and a baseball-specific workout room.

Falcon Field

Over the years, Falcon Field has become one of the toughest parks in which to play in the nation. Nestled against the Rampart Range of the Rocky Mountains, Falcon Field sits at over 7,000 feet above sea level. In 1991, the field became one of the most unique in the country. Due to the severe Colorado weather, an Astroturf infield was installed with a brand new grass outfield and drainage system. The turf allowed the Falcons to play games after spring snowstorms which, in the past, would have had to be postponed. Also in 1991, the fences were moved back more than 20 feet in some spots. The current dimensions 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 by a 24-foot chain link “Monster.” As part of the renovation, the dugouts were upgraded with heaters and, per-manent helmet and bat racks and the park gained space for more than 500 fans with additional seating on the grass for a capacity of more than 1,000. In the fall of 2004, the old AstroTurf infield was replaced with new Sport Turf. During the first five seasons after the renova-tion, the Falcons improved in every area of the game - team defense, team offense and team pitching. The batting average of .328 and fielding percentage of

.942 were the highest in any five-year pe-riod up to that point. The team ERA con-sistently improved and the five-year ERA of 7.25 is the best since joining a major conference in 1981. As a result, the Falcons posted a 128-122 record during that time for a winning percentage of .512, the best

since joining a major conference in 1981. The Fal-cons averaged nearly 26 wins per season in those five years, the best five-year average in school his-tory. AFA’s home winning percentage of .550 in 2000 is the best since a .625 mark in 1995. Since 1957, the Falcons have won 55 percent of the games played at Falcon Field. The 1993 team broke the school record by winning 21 home games. In 56 seasons of Falcon baseball, the team has posted 35 winning seasons at home. In 2012, the Fal-cons were 8-7 at home. Falcon Field also earned na-tional recognition as the host of the 1976 and 1995 U.S. Olympic Festivals. A new era began for Falcon Field in 2010, as a new FieldTurf surface was installed over the sum-mer of 2009. The entire playing surface, with the exception of a dirt mound, is FieldTurf. In addition, the entire fence surrounding the park was replaced and a new hitters eye was installed. Air Force also upgraded the dugouts, installing new wood seats and an an upgraded heating system.
