Secretary of Transportation The Honorable Ray LaHood Regimental Dog It is with great pleasure and excitement that the Regiment of Midshipmen hosted Nikki, one of the Guide Dog Foundation’s future Seeing 3ye dogs, for the past year. MIDN Rebecca Grimes was given the important task of raising Nikki for her first year which entailed exposing her to the various settings a Midshipmen encounters at school as well as events outside of the Regiment. Additionally, MIDN Grimes was to teach her the basic commands and to train her to understand the difference between work and play. When Nikki is working, just like any guide dog in training, no one is allowed to touch her unless specifically told to do so. Nikki turned 1 on 14 January 2011 and was released back to the Guide Dog Foundation on 6 February 2011. Upon returning to the Foundation she underwent 6 months or more of extensive training in order to meet the qualifications of the important job she has ahead of her.

This was the first time in the school's history that the men’s soccer team made it to the Elite Eight in the NCAA tournament. Kings Point not only had team success, but they also had individual success. There were four players that were chosen for individual accolades. Sophomore Kurt Olsen (Charlotte, N.C.) was selected to the NSCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional First Team, while also being tabbed to the Landmark Conference Defensive Player of the Year, as well as the All-Landmark Conference First Team.

Even though The Mariners didn’t have a good conference record, they had an impressive non-conference record. Just by that alone, it shows that the team has promise for the future. The Mariners will be saying goodbye to four seniors including Nicole Barriga (Bayside, N.Y.), Meghan Dillard (Richmond, Va.), Rebecca Grimes (Fairfax, Va.), and Janay Weathers (Fredericksburg, Va.). Grimes earned a spot on the Landmark All-Conference Second Team. The Fairfax native finished seventh in the conference in scoring by averaging 12.5 points per game, while also reaching the 1,000 point plateau during the course of the season. She was the fourth Mariner to reach the milestone. With a solid core coming back to the squad next year, expect big things from the women’s basketball team. MMCiU ; j 5 «ABIIE «MEg The USMMA men’s swimming diving team had an impressive year. Kings Point finished with two individual NCAA Championships, two NCAA Awards (Diver and Diving Coach of the Year), three individual All-Americans, and three records broken (one NCAA and two Academy records). The three individual All-Americans are the most that Kings Point has had since 1989. Senior Nick Halbach (Wheat Ridge, Colo.) won the NCAA Champion and All-American in both the 1-meter and 3-meter. Halbach also broke an NCAA record in the 3 meter and was named NCAA Diver of the Year. Junior Frank Vita (Davidsonville, Md.) was named an All-American in the 200 fly. Junior John Fields (Burke, Va.) reached All-American status in the 200 IM. Finally the last honor was bestowed upon; Kevin Ryan, who was named NCAA Diving Coach of the Year, this year’s honors marks the fourth time that the coach has received the honor. r- The Kings Point women’s swimming diving team had a promising year. The Mariners competed hard at every event. Four members of the team gained All- Landmark Conference honors; sophomore diver Kathryn Schmidt (Colorado Springs, Colo.), freshman diver Lynae Harvey (Thornton, Colo.), freshmen swimmer Emily Olsen (Glenwood, N.J.), and rookie diver Erin Hofstetter (Pittsburgh, Calif.). Schmidt won the Landmark Conference Championship in the 3-meter event. Harvey bested all divers on the 1-meter board. Hofstetter finished in second in the 1-meter event. In addition, Emily Olsen recorded a second place finish in the breast-stroke event at the Landmark Conference Championship. Women's Swimming Diving The USMMA wrestling program had another prosperous season. The program excelled in every weight class. The Mariners did so well during the season that they became ranked ninth overall in the country. Kings Point won its fourth- straight conference title and had six individual weight class champions. Jordan Alfaro 125 Fayetteville, N.C. , Martin Bell 149 Eaton Rapids, Mich., Dan Twito 157 Cedar Falls, Iowa, Vincent Renaut 165 Plymouth, Mass., Scott Lowe 184 Euclid, Ohio and Judd Connell 285 Hastings, Minn. Dan Twito captured a National Championship and with that accomplishment, became the second Mariner to bring a National Championship back to Kings Point. In addition, USMMA finished the year with three All- Americans; Dan Twito, Vincent Renaut, and Judd Connell. Thanks to the success of his squad head coach Greg llaria was named Centennial Conference Coach of the Year. Track Baseball The 2011 edition of the USMMA Baseball team had a ton of young talent, which led them to a 15-15-1 overall (6- 11-1 Landmark Conference) record. Kings Point played in many thrilling games throughout this year, which included a late run at the Conference playoffs in a three-game set with Susquehanna University. In the finale of that series the squad dropped a heart-breaking 14-13 loss to the Crusaders. Freshman Warren Hartmann (Wyckoff, N.J.) is a part of a core of talented freshman to keep an eye on in future seasons. The Wyckoff native was named to the Landmark Conference First Team as a second baseball, as well as Rookie of the Year. Classmates Danny Collins (Sleepy Hollow, N.Y.), Jake and Andy Martin (San Diego, Calif.) and Andrew MacKinnon (Buffalo, N.Y.) are all key parts to what will be a very successful baseball team next year. Softball The 2011 USMMA softball team had many bright moments in spite of a 0-17 (0-8 Landmark Conference record. Many of the young ladies on this year’s Mariners squad stepped in and played a different position for the first time in their young careers. Kings Point will graduate three seniors this year, but they will be tough voids to fill. As graduates Cheyanne Loppnow (Oconomowoc, Wis.), Ana Fuschetto (Alexandria, Ind.) and Lindsay Watkins (Ventura, Calif.) all provided leadership and positive energy fort the Mariners. There is a ton of talent returning to the squad next season including first year players Chelsea Tapper (Brooklyn, N.Y.) and Ashley Markey (Newark, Del.) combined with the leadership of versatile Sarah Marino (Alexandria, Va.) and Laurellee Kopras (Bruce, Wis.) will make next year’s squad one to watch. Tennis The Kings Point tennis team showed competitive heart and spirit during the course of the 2011 season, even though they finished with a 1-10 overall (0-7 Landmark Conference) record there were many highlights throughout this year. Junior Jeff Gulitus (Cincinnati, Ohio) proved to be a great number-one singles competitor for the team, having picked up victories over his counterparts at both Goucher and Catholic. The lone female of the team Cristina Fernandez-O’Toole (Washington Depot, Conn.) always had solid matches wherever she was asked to play for Kings Point, putting up one of her most impressive showings in a three-game set against Gouchers’ number-six seeded singles player. Expect great things for this young squad who will return most of their players next season. ViWtWPM' Lacrosse The 2011 Kings Point men’s lacrosse team battled adversity all season long and even though the squad finished with a 4-12 (0-5 Landmark Conference) record, it would not reflect the heart and passion in which the team played with throughout. The Mariners played against two nationally ranked Division III squads in Denison and Wesleyan University, and proved to be a team to watch for throughout the season. Thanks to their terrific individual play throughout the year senior Zach Gray (Scituate, Mass.) and junior Sean Zakow (South Huntington, N.Y.) were both named to the Landmark Conference First Team. In addition, Gray was tabbed as the 2011 Player of the Year. Both players led the conference in points with 66 each. Gray finished the season ranked second in goals (47). For most of the year, Gray was in the Top-Five nationally in both points and goals amongst Division III.

When asked to say a few things about Captain Brown, no one quite knew where to begin. How can you describe the guy that smiled like you were just the cutest little things for calling “attention on deck” for him on - Dc your first day of KP100 (that's the only time he'd ever let you do it, too!) -or the man who -UPPER was there for you throughout the strenuous 4 years of classes? He was there through our plebedom, sea year, then QMEDs and finally license exams. He was without a doubt the kindest and most beloved teacher and will be greatly missed. Captain Brown leaves the SHOPPER section with a legacy of quotes that he will always be remembered by, some favorites of which include: “Let's take a field trip.” “Water expands immensely when it becomes steam. It's like a tall boy of Sam Adams expanding into a phone booth full of Sam Adams. Mmmmmm.” “You guys are going to get me in trouble.” “Conlan, I would like to meet your girlfriend, she must be a very interesting person.” “Mr. Van Antwerp...” Ethan - “It wasn't even me this time!” Captain Douglas Brown has been a valuable asset to not only the SHOPPER program at Kings Point but also to the whole USMMA Family. He will be gready missed but we wish him luck on whatever his future endeavors may be. Fair winds and following seas, Captain Brown -we all hope to see you around sometime! 140 r Nathan Abel Jonathon Allen Timothy Anthone Jacob Arp Spencer Ash Michael Bako Zachary Austin Trevor Ball Andrew Baransky Teagan Bailey Benjamin Baur David Baker Dustin Beck Stephen Chan Patrick Clarke Andrew Collins Daniel Collins John Coleman Mario Colangelo Michael Edmondson Avery Edson Frederick Ebers Jordan Effland Sawyer Effland Patricia Evenson Robert Femia Steven Ficken Julie Flaherty Edward Fournier Katherine Franchois Anthony Franza Samuel Fry Ethan Gann 146 Spencer Garland Kyle Gavoni Phillip Gervato Daniel Giaccio-Williams Jonh Taylor Gregg Jamison Grinnell Nicholas Grippo Andrew Groody Travis Guerra Jonathan Harris Erik Hartmann Bethany Haskell Carl Hendrickson 147 Joshua McCormick Kieran McGuire Salvatore Molino 149 Kevin McHale Kathryn McKenna Christopher Michaels Sean Hamilton Mooney Brooke Mueller Richard Morgan Dustin Myers Linda Nektalova Krzysztof Nowacki Bryson Newhall Emily Olsen Giuseppe Niosi Alexander Palermo-Re Oliver Noon ■ Vincent Panetta Katherine Noonan Kyle Parker Joshua Pearlman Kevin Pfeil Ashleigh Phillips Antoine Picou Daniel Pierce Nicholas Pino Sean Pittman Robert Prashaw Thomas Prifti Collin Putnam Ryan Quigley Elizabeth Radzwill Ryan Raffo Orlando Rebolledo Eric Rice Erin Rice Timothy Rice Joshua Richer Nathan Rogers 151 Chelsea Tapper Thomas Treat Gregory Trieber George Truscott Andrew Terselic Joshua Visel Cassandra Walter Samuel Tubb Kristina Walz Jacob Washer Tyler Washington Raymond Waters Nicholas Watson Timothy Weber Sean Welsh Nicholas Williams Michael Wilson Michael Anderson Michael Ackerman Muhammad Ahmad Kamal Mason Albaugh-Fonseca Benjamin Baitcher Scott Bartlett Daniel Baxter Gannon Beebe Kristen Bell Christopher Benard Casey Cannon Benjamin Carbone Nicholas Carbonetto Christian Bommer Brian Bradsher 155 Philip Criswell Logan Cummings Dustin Downing Tyler Driscoll Daniel Dunn Aaron Gottlieb 156 Casey Moore Ryan Nonnenmacher Christopher Oehl L Jesse Penney Dennis Reppond 158 3 Kathryn Schmidt Christopher Scott Patrick Seabrook Walther Sergojan Michael Shep Michael Tuttle Jessica Tyack Jacob Treon William Villareal Steven Webb Glen Weldon 160 TSmritViw Amor William Bachman Matthew Brogan Jonathan Butanis Brent Ballard Andrew Barela Martin Bell John Boyle James Bradley Christopher Bonatucci 161 Matthew Ches Zachary Cline Dylan Coffman Bryan Diffley John Dohring Keegan Farley Benjamin Faulter Thomas Gambill Alison Garcia Pena Sean Gargiulo Karen Gilkey Luke Goudy 162 Jackson Islin Joshua Johnston Hunter Karass Zachary Karczewski Seok-Jun Kim Riley McQuiston Robert McRobbie Nathaniel Miller John Monreal-Bemer Joseph Moore Kimberly Saxton Bradley Schatz Jacob Schirber Georg Schroeder Richard Shelest Anna Simons Sarah Smith Alexander Snyder Robert Szymkowicz Anthony Thompson Steven Truelove Brendan von Koss Thomas Walker Jonathan Wilson Ryan Winspear Kevin Wrynn Jay Yang 165 Nathanael Achor Lancaster, Pa Quote “My memory is nearly gone, but I remember two things, that I am a great sinner, and that Christ is a great Savior.” John Newton, age 82-- JBB r.

MICHAEL PETER IEVOLO On July 5, 2007 you sailed off to start your college years at Kings Point, June 20, 2011 the voyage has come to an end. It was four trying and very proud years. Seeing how proud you were to receive your eagle on Acceptance Day and how proud you are of your graduation rings are uplifting. Seeing how happy you were on the football field thrilled us. And seeing your misery of sea year was heartbreaking. But, You were not built to break, God did not make you that way. Your determination, hard work and loyalty at Kings Point were inspiring. You went from Plebe to Class VP to Company Commander to Regiment Commander. As is written. Archangel Michael, no matter the situation or the challenge, Michael stands ready to protect and serve all who call upon him. As RC you were the Archangel Michael for your peers. It was you who sought to right a wrong, give courage, and protect those who came for assistance. For that we admire you. You once told me, Mom when I die I want to be someone of importance. Well on April 10, 1989 at 11:50 p.m. you accomplished that goal. You became the most important person to me. May God bless you and watch over you and may the Archangel Michael always be on your shoulder. Michael, keep working on that dream. No one deserves it more! Love, Mom, Dad Andrew Congratulations on your successful voyage through four challenging years at Kings Point! We are so proud of you and the man you've become.

Walz U J Editor i Ndt : • I would like to start by thanking the Class of 2011 for the 4 years of memories; some good, some bad and others just plain crazy. Congratulations Class of 2011, WE MADE IT!!! I wish you all the best of luck on your future endeavors. Never forget where you came from and who helped you along the way. Graduation is not the end, it's the beginning! Go forth and do great things!!! — Next, I would like to thank Shawn Antonelli (Class of 2012) for all of his help. He has been such a vital part of this book and I am afraid he doesn't get as much credit as he deserves. A great majority of the pictures you see throughout this book were taken by him. I am so lucky to have been able to rely on him to be everywhere at once. This book wouldn't be a book if it wasn't for him. I would also like to thank Lisa, Rita and Mark for their continued support and understanding. We have been faced with many obstacles throughout the creation and editing of this book, but nevertheless we FINALLY made it! To the Underclassmen: Stay focused, graduation isn't that far away and it will all be worth it when you can look at Vickery gate through your rearview mirror, PROMISE! To my true friends, you know who you are! I am so lucky and grateful to have had each of you in my life for so many different reasons. You have been there with me through the best of times and the worst of times and 1 ain so blessed. Thank you for all the amazing times and memories! It has been real!! j ( •' ( ’w To the one and only CCOOOOOOAAAAACCCCCCHH, Cassie Arroyo. Thank you for always being there for me. I know, without a shadow of a doubt that I wouldn't have made it through Kings Point without you. I can't put into words how grateful I am to have had your love and support throughout these past four years. You have been stern on me when necessary and believed in me when I didn't even believe in myself. I am going to miss those hours spent on road trips or the long conversations about : life in your HUGE office. I could never put into words how grateful I am. To my amazing family: Mom, you are the strongest woman I know, and I am so proud to be your daughter. I hope to grow up to i be half the woman you are. Donny, Kalvin, and Ciara, you have been the most amazing siblings a sister could ask for. Life hasn't been easy but in the end knowing I have you guys, I know it will all be okay. Daddy, I can't put in to words how much I • miss you and love you. Saying I am sad is an understatement. I wish you were at my Graduation but I know that God needed i you more and you were looking over me! I strive to live my life as you did; you were a blessing to everyone you ever met. I am so fortunate that I had you for a Daddy the first 23 years of my life and knowing you are my Guardian Angel now brings a . comfort and warmth over me. Save a place for us Daddy, I can't wait to be with you in Heaven! If there is anything I have learned over the past four years it would be to not take life too seriously. You're going to go through good times and bad times but once you set your mind to something, don't ever give up. Live simply, work honestly, love completely and dare mightily. God bless you all.
