Perry got off to a fast start in his first season in 2010 as he led the Mid-shipmen to a second place finish at the 2010 IRA National Championship. Dur-ing the regular season, the Mids boasted a record of 14-7, and won theJohnson Cup (vs. Yale) and Callow Trophy (vs. Penn).

at Dartmouth. In 2007, he was named the Eastern Association of Rowing Col-leges Coach of the Year after his first varsity boat won the Eastern SprintsChampionship for the third time in school history and would later place

fourth at the IRA National Championship. He also helped Dartmouth claimthe Biglin Bowl cup over Harvard and MIT, which equaled the number of winsby the Big Green over the Crimson in the race's first-54 years.

Perry spent two seasons at Rutgers (2000-01) and one season at Penn(2002) as lightweight assistant coach. With the Scarlet Knights, he produced an11-6 record with the first freshmen crew, including a fifth-place finish at theEastern Sprints Championship. During his lone season at Penn, he led theQuakers' first freshmen boat to a 5-2 record, marking the crew’s first winningseason in 10 years.

U.S. National Team CoachingIn addition to his collegiate coaching experience, Perry has also worked

with the U.S. Under-23 Women's National Rowing Team in 2008 and ‘09. In thesummer of 2009, he served as the head sweep rowing coach, where he se-lected, prepared and trained the silver medal-winning women's eight boat atthe Under-23 World Championship in Racice, Czech Republic. He served asassistant sweep rowing coach in 2008 and helped the women's eight crew winthe gold medal at the Under-23 World Championship in Brandenburg, Ger-many.

Season OutlookThe 2011 Navy lightweight crew will look to build on the suc-cess of last spring, which was highlighted by the first varsitybattling its way to second place at the IRA National Champi-onship. The lightweights will look to replace 13 members oflast year’s team with a rising group of physically strong seniorsand juniors.

The Midshipmen return four members of the first varsity, sixmembers of the second Varsity and eight members of theplebe crew.

“The seniors have made a noticeable increased leadership im-pact on this year’s team,” said head coach Steve Perry, who isentering his second season as head coach.

Senior Matt Murphy will captain the 2011 lightweight crew.

The Mids posted a successful fall season in winning both theOccoquan Challenge and the Navy Day Regatta in Philadelphia.The varsity eight boat’s title at the Occoquan Challenge wasthe sixth in program history. At the Navy Day Regatta, theMids won the collegiate eight for the second consecutive year.

The crew also placed two boats in the top-11 places at thePrinceton Chase.

Navy opened the fall at the famed Poughkeepsie Regatta with afour-mile race on the Hudson River.

With the weather beginning to warm and the season justaround the corner, the Mids are eagerly anticipating the startof the 2011 season.“One of the most difficult challenges we have right now issorting out our top boat movers,” said Perry.

In addition to the season start, the Midshipmen will also lookforward to the completion of the renovations of Hubbard Hall.The historic building underwent significant upgrades beginningin Nov. 2009 and the $14.5 million project will be completedin this spring. Needless to say, Perry is not only excited aboutthe upgraded facility for his team, but also for all those associ-ated with Navy crew.

“We’ve been rowing out of tents for the past year, so we arevery excited about our move into newly renovated HubbardHall,” Perry said.

The Mids recorded wins in two trophy races last season, asthey captured the Callow Cup for the 10th consecutive seasonwith a win over Penn and reclaimed the Johnson Trophy with avictory over Yale.

As always, Navy will race a highly competitive schedule thisspring that opens on March 26 when the Mids travel to Prince-ton to meet the two-time defending national champion Tigers.

Navy will host home races against Columbia, on April 9, andPenn, on April 30.

As the undergraduate college of the Naval service, theNaval Academy prepares young men and women to be-come professional officers in the U.S. Navy and MarineCorps. Naval Academy students are midshipmen on ac-tive duty in the U.S. Navy. They attend the academy forfour years, graduating with bachelor of science degreesand reserve commissions as ensigns in the Navy or sec-ond lieutenants in the Marine Corps. Naval Academy grad-uates serve at least five years as Navy or Marine Corpsofficers.

Founded in 1845 by Secretary of the Navy George Ban-croft, the Academy started as the Naval School on 10acres of old Fort Severn in Annapolis with an originalclass of 55. In 1850 the Naval School became the UnitedStates Naval Academy. A new curriculum went into effectrequiring midshipmen to study at the Academy for fouryears and to train aboard ships each summer. Congressauthorized the Naval Academy to begin awarding bachelorof science degrees in 1933. Today, the Academy offers 18major fields of study, a wide variety of elective coursesand advanced study and research opportunities.

USNA MISSION STATEMENT“To develop midshipmen morally, mentally and physicallyand to imbue them with the highes t ideals of duty, honorand loyalty in order to graduate leaders who are dedicatedto a career of naval service and have potential for futuredeployment in mind and character to assume the highestresponsiblities of command, citizenship andgovernment.”

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.

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.
