Camaraderie harnessed through post run by Sgt. Chris Smith Mountaineer staff To help build cohesion amongst Soldiers on post, Fort Carson held an installation run June 30 as a kick- off to a four-day weekend for the Fourth of July. The run started at 6:30 a.m. with a commence- ment ceremony at Pershing Field. Members of the command staff spoke to the Soldiers assembled in for- mation before the run. Gen. Robert Mixon Jr., commanding general, 7th Infantry Division and Fort Carson, spoke to the Soldiers about the importance of the Soldiers and teamwork amongst each other. “We need each and every one of you, you need each other and your families need you,” Mixon said of the importance of the Soldiers working together. Following the speech, the units marched to Barkeley Avenue for the start of the run. The units involved were to celebrate the Fourth of July, America’s birthday and to bring the division together, said Brig. Gen. P. K. Keen, assistant division com- mander, Fort Carson and 7th ID. “It’s an opportunity to show esprit de corps as a unit and it kicks off a series of Fourth of July Photo by Sgt.

very promising professional career. Leverette was the heavyweight on the last WCAP team and one of its unquestioned leaders both in the ring and out. His advice and counsel outside the ring was a help to many of the young fighters and his example in the ring was second to none. He will continue to help the WCAP program as an assistant boxing coach so there will be a number of fighters that will gain from his knowledge as they attempt to represent the Army in boxing ventures. Leverette said he is looking forward to his new challenge of getting boxers ready for top- level competition. Good luck to him and great news for the Army boxing program that he will be here. On the bright side, WCAP wrestlers have been making some great news in recent competition. Dremiel Byers and Iris Smith earned berths on the United States team that will compete in the World championships in Budapest, Hungary, Sept. 27 through Oct. 3. Monday, Byers and Smith could be joined by Tina George who will compete in a wrestle off to determine if she or her competitor will join the team at the Olympic Training Center in a best two- of-three match. The first match will begin at 9 a.m. and the second match will begin at 3 p.m. If a third match is necessary, it will take place 30 minutes after the second match. Glenn Garrison and James Johnson are alternates for the World Team event. There are also 10 athletes that will represent the WCAP wrestling team at the World Military Championships in Lithuania Aug. 17 through 19. Byers will be joined by Neil Podak, Eric
