4 2010 VMI Men’s Soccer Fact Book VMI Athletic History 5

Athletics at VMI form an integral part of the school’s aim to educate the whole person. The athletic program, managed honorably over many years, is critical to VMI’s determination to encourage “the sound mind and sound body.” Mr. Giles H. Miller ‘24 ,coined the VMI educational expe- rience as a three-legged stool with academics, military training, and athletics all forming pillars supporting the mission of the Institute. VMI’s proud intercollegiate athletic history dates back to 1866 with the formation of a baseball team, but the first organized squad came in 1892 when cadet Walter H. Taylor served as captain and coach of the first football team in 1891. Since that time, VMI athletics has evolved into a rich and storied history that continues to thrive into the 21st century.

A few highlights of VMI’s athletic history include: undefeated football teams in 1920 and 1957. The 1957 squad under the lengendary coach John McKenna finished 9-0-1 and was ranked 13th in the final Associated Press poll. In 1934, the alumni educational fund was established, forming one of the first athletic scholarship organizations in the country. In December 1924, VMI joined the beginning an illustrious his- tory that saw Keydet squads capture seven league football titles, three basketball championships, 31 indoor and outdoor track championships, five cross country championships, 10 wrestling championships, nine swimming championships, and five cross country titles.

Perhaps the most famous athletic story in VMI history was the two-year glorious run of the 1976 and 1977 teams basketball teams. The 1976 squad advanced within one game of the Final Four before bowing to Rutgers in the East Regional Final, and in 1977 VMI finished with a school record 26-4 mark and reached the “Sweet 16” round of the NCAA tournament.

Famous VMI athletic alumni include George Marshall, a football player from the class of 1901 who served as chief of staff in World War II and was awarded the Nobel Prize for the Marshall Plan that rebuilt war-torn Europe. Jimmy Leech, Class of 1921, starred on VMI’s unde- feated 1920 squad and was inducted into the Collge Football Hall of Fame. , Class of 1959, distinguished himself in the college and professional coaching ranks and led Georgia Tech to a national championship in 1990 and the San Diego Chargers to the Super Bowl in 1995. Ron Carter ‘78, who played on the NCAA tournament bas- ketball teams of the 70’s, played with the Los Angeles Lakers of the NBA. Thomas Haskins ‘97 became the NCAA’s leading rusher in I-AA football, breaking a mark that stood for 17 years. In 2002, basketball player Jason Conley became the first freshman to lead the NCAA in scoring when he averaged 29.3 points.

Ten VMI athletics or coaches are currently enshrined in the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. They are Jimmy Leech (football), (football), Joe Muha (football), Bosh Pritchard (football), Paul Shu (Football), (Basketball Coach), Johnny Mapp (football/ track), Nelson Catlett (football), Bobby Ross (football), and (football).

The school nickname “Keydets” is derived from a southern drawl pronunciation of the word “cadet.” The kangaroo serves as the school mascot and is one of only four U.S. colleges that uses the marsupial to represent its sports teams. VMI fields 17 teams on the NCAA Division I level.

VMI, with an enrollment of 1,400 cadets, has the third smallest enrollment among NCAA Division I institutions, behind only Centenary and Wofford. Approximately one-third of the Corps of Cadets plays on one of VMI’s intercollegiate athletic teams making it one of the most active athletic programs among its student body. Of the VMI athletes who complete their eligibility, 92 percent receive their VMI diplomas. In August, 1997, VMI fielded its first women’s athletic program with a cross country team and has since added three additional women’s sports. More will follow as female enrollment increases in the coming years.

Throughout most of the 20th century, VMI athletics teams competed as a member of the Southern Conference and played a large role in the rich history of one the nation’s oldest college athletic conferences.In December 2001, the school announced that it would join the Big South Conference in 2003, beginning a new athletic chapter for a new century. VMI’s first year of competition was, in fact, the 2003-04 season, and the Keydets have enjoyed success in the conference since, including multiple post-season honorees. That list has included Reggie Williams, who led NCAA basketball in scoring for two consecutive seasons, the 2006-07 and 2007-08 campaigns, when the Keydets received national attention for their fast-paced style of play. In 2008-09, the Keydet programs posted several notable results: VMI basketball posted 24 wins and came within just one victory of the program’s fourth NCAA tournament appearance, as twin brothers Chavis and became the top scoring twins at the NCAA Division I level. In addition, runner Donnie Cowart earned All-American honors in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, while women’s soccer finished at .500 for the first time and earned its initial post-season win, a 2-1 win over Winthrop in the first round of the Big South Championship. Finally, VMI won the Big South Sportsmanship award for the fourth-consecutive season.

The 2009-10 athletic season was yet another successful campaign. The Keydet baseball team defeated No. 1 Virginia, 12-3, at Gray-Minor Stadium and garnered its highest-ever ranking in a national poll at 26th. The women’s cross country team netted its highest-ever finish at the Big South Championships, while the Institute also added another women’s offering in water polo. Finally, the department earned its unprecedented fifth-straight Big South Sportsmanship Award.
