SEASON REVIEWSEASON REVIEW

2014-15 SEASON REVIEW

Coast Guard will once again be led by three-time national qualifi er and two-time All America Nate Giorgio at 133 pounds.

Giorgio, who missed most of last season last year, went 12-8, but was healthy toward the end of the season and placed third at the Northeast Regional and was eighth at the Division III National championship to earn All-America honors for the second time in his career. He placed fourth at 125 pounds as a freshman and has a goal of a national championship to close out his collegiate career.

Sophomore Mike Palomba, who placed sixth at the Northeast Regional last season at 157 pounds, along with senior Mike Giorgio at 141 pounds and junior Mike Shermot (174) will lead the Bears at the middle weight classes.

Junior Marc Wagner (184), sophomore Phil Azzari (197) and junior Mark Howard (HWT) will be the leaders for the Bears in the heavier weight classes.

“Wagner, Azzari and Howard are all very fast for their weight and they can all compete to earn a spot at the national tournament this season,” said fi rst-year head coach Kevin Bratland.

Other top returners for the Bears include sophomore Earl Roberts (125), sophomore Matt McAllister (141), sophomore Matt Vieira (149) and senior Steve Kidwell (157).

The Bears also welcome back sophomore Kyle Levy, junior Kevin Painten and senior Joel Wyman from the football team who will add depth to the heavyweight class this season.

Four freshmen Dominick Summers (125), Benjamin Crutchfi eld (141), Thomas Dalton (157) and Christopher Sullivan (157) will all fi ght for spots this season.

“These four freshmen are in great positions to earn a spot in the starting lineup right away and if not becoming the starter, they will push the starter,” said Bratland. “They are all talented hard workers and we are fortunate to have them here.”

Coast Guard was 7-10 in dual meets last season the Bears most wins in ten years since the team went 9-9 in the 2003-’04 season.

“We are very solid up and down the lineup. There are no gaping holes,” said Bratland. “The big thing for these guys is to come together as a team and realize how good that they are and can be. I put a lot of stock in the eff ort of our guys more so than wins and losses. I want to know that they went out and wrestled to their potential, left everything they had on the mat and they are buying into our program and living a championship lifestyle. That will dictate their success.”

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICSDIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

TIM FITZPATRICKDIRECTOR OF ATHLETICSFOURTH YEAR

Tim Fitzpatrick is in his fourth 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.

Tim is married to Kerry Marks, and they have a son, James.
