Warriors trade punches in championships

3/8/2010: Several thousand hoarse voices raise the rafters of the old Halsey Field House on a special night each year on the Annapolis campus of the U.S. Naval Academy. There's plenty of testosterone and warrior machismo in the air as the midshipmen gather to watch their classmates battle it out at the annual Brigade Boxing Championships. February's fights marked the 69th time midshipmen faced each other in the ring for the annual championships. Full story

Academy duo forms family fitness company

Both overcame obstacles and wanted to help local families toward family fitness. Full story


Unfinished business for Navy wrestler

3/3/2010: To say Scott Steele has experienced a star-crossed college wrestling career would be an understatement. The Naval Academy heavyweight has accumulated a stellar 77-22 record and been ranked Top 10 nationally in two different seasons. The Towson native achieved something few collegians ever have by being named as an alternate to the United States Olympic team, an honor that earned him a trip to Beijing for the 2008 Summer Games.
