Army World Class Athletes in the CEP

CPT Jon Anderson ’06 and CPT William Simpson ’09, current members of the Army World Class Athletes Program (WCAP), presented their insights on competitive success to the Army West Point Wrestling Team in coordination with the CEP. The presentation, entitled “Fourth Class to World Class,” described the challenges both men faced in their pursuit of Olympic Team berths and the joy of leading soldiers while also training as a competitive world class wrestler. CPT’s Anderson and Simpson will compete in the U.S. Olympic Wrestling Trials in 2016. Cadets in attendance were uniformly impressed with how these USMA grads balanced their lives as officers, husbands, fathers, and competitors.
