"Naval Academy AD Wins Coveted Football Award"

Last updated 📅 2025-06-07

June 7, 2016 - The National Football Foundation recognized the U.S. Naval Academy’s Athletic Director Chet Gladchuk with the NFF John L. Toner Award. The group’s FootballFoundation.org tells us that the award is presented annually by the NFF, to recognize an athletics director who has demonstrated superior administrative abilities and shown outstanding dedication to college athletics and particularly college football.

Since being introduced as the Academy’s 28th Director of Athletics on Sept. 4, 2001, Gladchuk has led the Navy Athletics program to phenomenal success. Navy has finished either first or second during each of the past 10 years in the race for the President’s Cup, claimed by the conference member with the highest cumulative sports point total based on championships and final standings in all sports.

During the 2015-16 season, the Midshipmen claimed seven conference championships, and they have dominated the entire Patriot League during the last five seasons, winning 36 conference titles or twice as many championships as any other school during the period.
