General Information

Jenny Graap 12th Year at Cornell • Cornell ‘86 Head Coach of Women’s Lacrosse Jenny Graap returned to her alma mater in 1997 with one goal in mind: to build the Cornell women’s lacrosse team into a championship contender. Now entering her 12th year at the helm, the 2002 Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association Coach of the Year and 2006 Inside Lacrosse Magazine and IWLCA Northeast Coach of the Year has developed the Big Red women’s lacrosse program into one of the most successful in the nation. Graap has built an Ivy League and national title contender in her first 11 years. She has posted a 109-63 record at Cornell and a 130-107 mark in 15 years as a head coach. In her tenure at Cornell, Graap has had 51 All-Ivy selections, 37 IWLCA Regional All-Americans, 15 IWLCA national All-Americans, three CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, two Ivy League Players of the Year and one national player of the year finalist. Her teams have reached postseason play in six of the last 10 years and have won at least 10 games six times. The 2008 season saw the Big Red finish second in the Ivy League (5-2) en route to a 10-6 campaign that included four wins over top 20 squads. Graap registered her 100th coaching win at Cornell with a 16-7 victory at Colgate in the season opener. Both Courtney Farrell and Katherine Simmons were named to the IWLCA All-America third team, with Farrell breaking the school’s career scoring and assist marks during the year. Farrell was named first-team all-region in 2007 after setting the school record for single-season assists (34). She joined Simmons as an all-region and first-team All-Ivy pick. Despite finishing 5-10, all 10 of the team’s losses came against squads that were nationally ranked at the time of the game or moved into the rankings after a win over the Big Red.

In 2006, Graap directed a team featuring just four seniors to a share of the program’s first Ivy title, leading the Big Red to a 12-4 overall record and its third NCAA tournament appearance. The 12 wins in a season ranks third all-time at Cornell, while the six Ivy wins tied the school record set by her 2002 squad. For her efforts, Graap was named the IWLCA and Inside Lacrosse Northeast Region Coach of the Year. The Big Red also completed its second undefeated home slate (7-0). In all, 11 of the team’s top 12 scorers were underclassmen. Graap did all of this despite a schedule that featured 10 games against teams ranked at some point during the season, including a win over NCAA finalist Dartmouth, as well as victories over perennial powerhouses Syracuse, Yale and Vanderbilt. Senior goalkeeper Maggie Fava was selected as Ivy League co-Player of the Year, while five players earned first-team All-Ivy honors, four were first-team all-region picks, and Fava (third-team), Margaux Viola (third-team) and Anne Riordan (second-team) were named to the IWLCA All-America teams. In 2005, Cornell posted a strong 9-6 record, finishing the season ranked No. 17 in the final IWLCA poll. Graap’s young squad toppled four teams ranked in the top 20 during the season and also defeated NCAA-bound Patriot League champion Colgate. The team’s 4-3 mark in Ancient Eight play was good for a third-place tie in the final standings and represented the fifth time in the last six years Cornell posted a winning league record. Eight of the team’s top 11 scorers were freshmen or sophomores. The 2004 campaign was a trying one for Graap and the Big Red, but the 6-9 season may have been one of her best coaching efforts. After losing a combined six All-Americans in the previous two years, Graap took a team with just two seniors that dropped eight of its first nine games and turned the ship around, helping Cornell to five wins in its last six contests. The Big Red knocked off nationally ranked Rutgers and Syracuse, as well as NCAA tournament participant and Patriot League champion Colgate. It also dropped one-goal decisions to NCAA

General Information

Cornell returns six starters from last season’s second-place Ivy finisher

While many programs would lower expectations after losing six starters, including a pair of All-Americans and the school’s all-time leading scorer, the Cornell women’s lacrosse is anxious to start the upcoming 2009 campaign. After a 2008 season that saw the Big Red finish second in the ultra-competitive Ivy League and come within a breath of an NCAA tournament bid, some would understand the mentality that 2009 should be a rebuilding year. With the team’s top three scorers among those lost to graduation from a core that helped the Big Red capture its first Ivy League title in 2006, outsiders would have little trouble counting Cornell out. Head coach Jenny Graap ‘86 sees things just a little differently. “We’ll rely on our four seniors to pass on the tradition and the pride of our program. They need to incorporate the younger kids quickly. I think the freshman class is a very dynamic group, a talented group and a very unified group. This fall was really enjoyable, and I couldn’t be more pleased with where we are starting from.” The cupboard is far from bare, as Cornell welcomes the return of six starters, including All-Ivy players Kelly Hansen and Tissy O’Connor, as well as junior goalkeeper Kristen Reese, and leading returning scorers Libby Johnson and Kate Dewey. The departure of All-Americans Courtney Farrell and Katherine Simmons will also allow for a number of the team’s 21 freshmen and sophomores to step into bigger roles. Senior captains Deirdre Lafferty and Jessica Wiegand will direct a four-player senior class ready to help the Big Red compete for an Ivy League title. As always, the Big Red will again challenge themselves with a schedule that will be one of the toughest in the country. Seven of the 15 scheduled contests will come against teams that were ranked in the final 2008 IWLCA Top 20 poll. Non-league games against ranked teams from New Hampshire, Notre Dame, Syracuse and Vanderbilt highlight the schedule and give the Big Red opportunities to boost its NCAA resume. The Ivy League will again be one of the toughest conferences in the country. Both Penn and Princeton open the season in the preseason top six nationally, with the Quakers coming off an appearance in the national title game. Both Dartmouth and Yale were also ranked during the 2008 campaign, while the Big Green is in the 2009 preseason rankings.

THE ATTACK The Big Red will feature a new-look attack with the graduation of All-American Courtney Farrell, the program’s all-time leading scorer, as well as the multi-talented Charlotte Schmidlapp. Despite their loss, Cornell will have a multitude of weapons and should be able to provide balanced scoring and versatile offensive sets. The lone senior in the mix will be Halsey Diakow, who emerged late in her junior season as a scoring option. The skilled feeder saw limited action in her first two seasons, but became a consistent weapon late in 2008. Diakow recorded points in five of the team’s final six games as part of Cornell’s 5-1 run. In her 11 contests, Diakow scored five goals and three assists with a career-best three-point effort against Columbia. With a healthy senior year, she will be expected to provide even more punch. Junior Kate Dewey has been a productive player in each of her first two seasons, but the possibility of a breakout 2009 campaign is very real. An imposing athlete around the crease with great size, she will also have a chance to be a major factor on the draw circle. Dewey will look to build on a 23-goal, seven-assist season as a sophomore, including five hat trick performances in her 15 starts. Another important scorer from a season ago, sophomore Libby Johnson, emerged as one of the top young players in the Ancient Eight. While she will play a larger role in the midfield as a sophomore, her attacking skills will be needed after a strong 20-goal, 11-assist freshman campaign, good for fourth on the team. Johnson is a multi-dimensional player who can not only score and create for teammates, but also redefend on the ride and run the midfield when needed. Sophomores Claire Poza and Liz Tillotson return as more experienced players and will attempt to break into the lineup. Poza emerged during the offseason and has a great chance to join the rotation in her second year. The two-time IWLCA high school All-American is an excellent feeder thanks to her field vision and understanding of the offense. Tillotson

2008 Season Review

2009 Cornell Big Red Women’s Lacrosse

THE GOALKEEPERS Incumbent starter Kristen Reese developed into one of the top goalkeepers in the Ivy League over the second half of the 2008 season. She will be pushed by freshman Kyla Dambach, who was a first-team All-American at Mendham HS in New Jersey. Reese emerged as a starter midway through her sophomore campaign as the Big Red made a charge up the Ivy League standings, ending the season with a 5-3 record while stopping 45 percent of opposing shot attempts, good for third in the Ivy League. Her 10.05 goals-against average also ranked among the Ivy League leaders, as did her six saves per contest. Reese’s ability to create havoc outside the crease, clear the ball and consistently make saves allow her an opportunity to build on those skills and develop into an All-Ivy type player. Dambach brings a different look in the cage as a lefthander and has shown great poise. She is outstanding at making the big save, and has shown the ability to contribute while further developing her stick and clearing skills. She will push Reese throughout the year and is likely to earn some time in the net.

Sophomore Michelle Winglee

THE DEFENSE Getting back to basics on defense will be the goal in 2009. After ranking among the national leaders in scoring defense for a span of five seasons, the Big Red will try to get back into that position. The backfield will seemingly be the team’s biggest strength entering the year, as Graap will be able to call on multiple experienced players to carry the load. Senior co-captain Deirdre Lafferty is a hard-nosed, tough defender who is regularly asked to mark offensive players much bigger. Lafferty uses her speed and craftiness to hold the opposition at bay, and her productivity and competitiveness will rub off on a defense that is looking to improve on its 9.4 goals allowed per game from a season ago. Kelly Hansen will bring her tenacious defensive skills back to East Hill after earning second-team All-Ivy honors a season ago. She has great recovery speed and will again be expected to mark one of the opposition’s top scorers every contest. She ranked among the team leaders in ground balls and caused turnovers in 2008. Hansen will not only be looked at as one of the leaders in the back, but also as one of the top defenders in the Ancient Eight. Junior Morgan Hale is another returner who can run the midfield or step back and make a mark in the defensive backfield. She saw action in all 16 games a season ago with six starts and was credited with 14 ground balls and nine caused turnovers. Hale’s presence on the field will be a key to Cornell’s success in 2009. Junior Alexa Shimizu and sophomores Norah Kennedy, Jane Peters and Cara Grealy will all attempt to get field action this year. Shimizu also has skills to play line attack, while Grealy has battled injuries throughout her time at Cornell. Peters is one of the fastest players on the roster, while Kennedy showed the ability in the fall to be capable of joining the regular rotation. Several freshmen will also try and join the party. Beth Halayko, Caroline Helmer, Kristen Hise, Mia McKie and Ali O’Neil will be getting acquainted with the team’s defensive schemes as they attempt to break into the lineup. Halayko and Helmer played key roles during the fall and enter the spring with an opportunity to crack the rotation. Halayko brings good size and aggressiveness, while Helmer is tremendously confident and steady with great timing and poise. Hise is the fastest player on the team and is developing her all-around skills, while McKie earned significant experience while training with the Haudenausaunee national team. O’Neil is an aggressive, physical defender whose mother played lacrosse for the Big Red.

The Coaching Staff

THE MIDFIELD All-American Katherine Simmons and All-Region pick Noelle Dowd are both gone, but versatile midfielders dot the roster to pick up some of the slack. Team co-captain Jessica Wiegand and senior Tissy O’Connor lead a group that also features juniors Lindsey Kane and Kaitlyn Giles, sophomores Heather Garson and Michelle Winglee and freshmen Katie Kirk, Julie Klatzkin, Olivia Knotts and Shannon McHugh. Wiegand opened the 2008 campaign strong before suffering a seasonending injury off the field that cost her the final nine games of the year. Despite her bad luck, her multi-faceted game and strong leadership skills on and off the field will allow her to be a major contributor to a solid midfield group. Wiegand is a natural scorer and one of the team’s top competitors. A true midfielder capable of being a key scorer and is already one of the team’s most pesky defenders, O’Connor is a candidate for league, regional and national honors. She is not only the team’s top returner in ground balls (23), draw controls (25) and caused turnovers (12), but O’Connor broke out as a scorer late in the 2008 season as part of a sevengoal, three-assist season. The 5-4 sparkplug posted nine points in the team’s final seven games in helping the Big Red to a 5-2 record down the stretch with wins over a pair of ranked teams during the span. Maybe no one on the team is as physically and mentally strong as Kane, whose competitiveness drives the Big Red midfield to a different level. A skilled and aggressive player who can also slide in the back, Kane does a lot of the dirty work and brings great emotion to the field. Giles could emerge after seeing limited action a season ago. A transfer from Brown, she has spent a season getting acclimated to Cornell’s style of play and showed in the fall that she could have a breakout campaign. She will challenge for a starting position. Winglee’s athleticism got her on the field as a freshman, but consistent effort on the defensive end could elevate her to an All-Ivy type campaign in 2009. A good offensive player, she has boundless energy and great recovery speed. Another player who has suffered through injuries is Garson, whose development has been hampered by not being on the field. The talent

she showed in high school was undeniable Both Kirk and McHugh made great impressions during the fall season and could earn playing time as rookies. Kirk is a classic middie who is strong defensively and will have the ability to mark top offensive players. McHugh leans towards the attack and has the ability to score with her great speed and poise. Knotts has great stick skills and is poised on both ends of the field. Klatzkin has vast potential and is extremely confident on the offensive end.

General Information

tunity to immediately join the rotation as one of the top scorers during the fall season. A highly-touted recruit, she is mentally tough and is a true scorer. Both Giesecke and Tierney have brought new energy to the attack and will press for gameday playing time.

The goalkeeper tandem of Renee Hughes and Kristen Reese combined for three saves and just two goals allowed while splitting the 60 minutes right down the middle.

Big Red Timeline

1972 Women’s lacrosse was first recognized on the varsity level in 1972. The program’s first-ever game, under head coach Sue Tyler, was played against local rival Ithaca College. Though the team would lose 7-4, it went on to win their very next game against a tough Brockport team 13-3, and would finish the season with a 3-2 record. 1975 Head coach Judy Kosstrin takes the helm for the Big Red, as the team played games on Jessup Field. Cornell defeats Penn 8-7 in the first-ever meeting between the Big Red and an Ivy League opponent. 1977 Cheryl Wolf becomes the head coach and leads the team to consecutive wins over William Smith, Hartwick and Ithaca. 1978 The Big Red posts the program’s first winning record since its inaugural season when it went 3-2 by going 7-2-2 on the season. The program hosted the second annual NYSAIAW lacrosse championship, falling to Brockport in the final. 1979 The team moves its home games to Schoellkopf Field. 1980 Cornell would compete against a “full” Ivy League schedule for the first time, finishing 0-6. The only Ivy League school that did not have a women’s lacrosse program at this point was Columbia, who would launch their program 17 years later in 1997. The first All-Ivy Team was selected, with Carol Johnson and Cate Snow capturing honorable mention honors. 1981 Another year of firsts, the Big Red recorded its first-ever Ivy League win with a 10-5 effort over Brown, as well as its first New York state championship with triumphs over Rochester, William Smith and Cortland. 1983 Cornell captures its second New York state title in three years, defeating Colgate 10-4 in the final.

SEVENTH HEAVEN --

Big Red women’s lacrosse team tops seventime defending NCAA champion Maryland

www.CornellBigRed.com • 39

This Is Cornell

ITHACA, N.Y. (May 12, 2002)- When the 2002 season began, Cornell was considered an afterthought in the world of collegiate women's lacrosse, while Maryland was considered a betting favorite to make its 13th straight Final Four and continue to reign supreme with its seven consecutive national titles. Look who's crashing the party. Jaimee Reynolds blitzed the Terrapins for seven goals and two assists as the Big Red knocked off Maryland 14-4 at Schoellkopf Field to advance to its first-ever Final Four. While Reynolds was dominant, she was by no means alone. Sarah Averson had three goals and Lori Wohlschlegel had a goal and two assists. Goalkeeper Carrie Giancola stood behind an aggressive defense and was an intimidating last line of defense, saving 12 of the 16 shots Maryland put on goal.

This Is Cornell

General Information The Coaching Staff Meet The Big Red

In the mid 1800s, two New York state senators, Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White, shared the bold dream of founding a “truly great university.” Cornell, a plain-spoken inventor, wanted “an institution where any person can find instruction in any study,” including the mechanical arts and agriculture. White, a scholarly graduate of Oxford and Yale, yearned to establish a university where “truth shall be taught for truth’s sake” in the arts and sciences. Together they created a nonsectarian university that was the first in the eastern United States to admit women and that pioneered the concept of elective courses. Their egalitarian vision and innovative ideas, which set Cornell apart at its opening in 1868, continue to guide the university today. Cornell includes 13 colleges and schools. On the Ithaca campus are the seven undergraduate units—the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences; the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning; the College of Arts and Sciences; the College of Engineering; the School of Hotel Administration; the College of Human Ecology; and the School of Industrial and Labor Relations—as well as four graduate and professional units: the Graduate School, the Law School, the Johnson Graduate School of Management, and the College of Veterinary Medicine. (The Weill Medical College and the Weill Graduate School of Medical Sciences are in New York City.) An Ivy League university that is also the land grant institution of New York State, Cornell is a unique combination of public and private divisions committed to teaching, research, and public service. Cornell’s 13,700 undergraduates and 6,000 graduate and professional students come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries. Interdisciplinary study and research are

Cornell hallmarks, as is attention to undergraduate education. The university’s 2,200 faculty members are active teachers as well as researchers—Nobel laureates often conduct introductory courses— and the lines of traditional disciplines are easily crossed. Engineering students dabble in photography; theatre arts students explore the world of computers; physics majors learn landscape architecture. National Science Foundation studies on programs in research and development at U.S. universities consistently rank Cornell among the top 10 or 11 in total research and development expenditures, and in federally financed expenditures. Cornell ranks second among U.S. universities in funds allocated by the National Science Foundation for programs in academic science and engineering. Cornell has five national research centers: the Center for High Energy Synchrotron Studies, the Floyd R. Newman Laboratory of Nuclear Studies, the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (which operates the world’s largest radio-radar telescope, in

2008 Season Review

Cornell may be a cutting-edge research university, but that doesn’t mean undergraduate education is an afterthought. A Cornell undergrad could spend the morning in a meeting with a professor for an independent study and the afternoon in large survey courses like psych 101. Students here work hard. Besides attending classes, there’s reading, writing, and research, not to mention preparing for exams. But students still find time to build friendships, volunteer off campus, hold part-time jobs and play sports. And while some students spend their four years close to campus, many go farther afield. They study natural medicinals in South America, marine biology off the coast of Maine, and public policy in Albany, N.Y. In addition to universityrun programs in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Rome, Italy, Cornellians travel to sites around the world, polishing their language skills and broadening their horizons.

Arecibo, Puerto Rico), the Cornell Nanofabrication Facility, and the National Science and Technology Center for Computer Graphics and Scientific Visualization. The university also has four national resource centers: the Latin American Studies Program, the East Asia Program, the South Asia Program, and the Southeast Asia Program. Cornell University Library’s 17 Ithaca-campus units provide an array of reference, information, and instructional services. At the southeast edge of the Arts Quad, Olin and Kroch libraries house the largest concentration of resources in the humanities, social sciences, and area studies, including extensive Asia collections, and rare books, manuscripts, and archival materials. Mann Library, on the Ag Quad, has materials in agriculture, biology, biotechnology, and related fields. Other libraries specialize in African and African American studies, engineering, entomology, the fine arts, hotel management, industrial and labor relations, law, management, mathematics, music, the physical sciences, and veterinary medicine. Famed for its woodlands, gorges, and waterfalls, the 745-acre main campus is on a hilltop overlooking Ithaca, a lively city of about 30,000 situated at the southern end of 44-mile-long Cayuga Lake, in the Finger Lakes region of New York state. Campus attractions of special interest include the Johnson Museum of Art, the Cornell Plantations, and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Sapsucker Woods wildlife sanctuary. The heart of New York state’s wine-growing region is less than an hour away, as are the Corning Glass Center and Museum and the Watkins Glen auto circuit. New York City is about a four-hour drive from Ithaca.

General Information

At a research institution, scholars don’t just acquire knowledge — they help create it. Cornell’s faculty members have garnered such prizes as the Nobel and the Pulitzer, not to mention MacArthur “genius” grants and countless other honors. These same luminaries teach undergraduate classes and include students on their research teams. Cornell serves as a land grant institution, receiving funding from New York State for its colleges of Human Ecology, Agriculture and Life Sciences and Veterinary Medicine and for its School of Industrial and Labor Relations. In return, the university offers reduced tuition to state residents in those colleges and helps citizens apply the research generated here to improve the state’s economy and the health of its people. A network of more than 200,000 alumni around the world supports the efforts of current students by sponsoring internships, offering career counseling and mentorship, and providing much of the financial support that maintains the university’s world-class libraries, laboratories, and faculty. Four thousand courses offered by nearly 100 departments, more interdisciplinary programs than you’ll find at any other university in the country, research opportunities for undergraduates in nearly every field, and faculty-guided independent study give you the wherewithal to shape a program that speaks to your interests and passions and grows with you over your four years here.

Nestled in the heart of New York State’s beautiful Finger Lakes region is Tompkins County, with Ithaca at its center. Long known for the excellence of its educational and research institutions, and more recently for its multitude of scenic wonders, Ithaca is indeed, “Gorges.” • Ithaca and Tompkins County are located in the central Finger Lakes Region of New York State, five hours from New York City, three hours from Niagara Falls, two hours from Rochester and 4.5 hours from Philadelphia.

Ithaca is America’s best emerging city - Cities Ranked & Rated -

• The 14 counties in the Finger Lakes Region cover more than 9,000 square miles, or roughly the size of New Hampshire or Vermont, and slightly larger than the state of New Jersey.

Ithaca, N.Y.

The beauty of Ithaca and the Cornell campus is unmatched. Ithaca is host to over 150 waterfalls, all of which lie within a 10-mile radius of downtown. Tompkins County is also home to three of the six gorge parks in New York state. Among the amazing sites is Taughannock Falls (above). At 215 feet high, Taughannock has a greater vertical drop than Niagara Falls. Below, Ithaca Falls is one of the more spectacular sights, located just minutes from the Cornell campus.

• The Sagan Planet Walk, built to honor the memory of Ithaca resident and Cornell University astronomer Carl Sagan, is a true-to-scale model of our solar system.

The Friedman Center

Champions are crowned during the season, but championships are earned long before competition begins. Cornell’s 900 varsity athletes have exclusive access to one of the newest and best training facilities in the nation—the 8,000-squarefoot Friedman Strength and Conditioning Center. Completed in June 1997, this impressive $2 million addition to Bartels Hall reflects the university’s strong commitment to athletic excellence. Coaches and team members alike credit the center, its world-class equipment, and first-rate staff with adding immensely to the success of the Big Red athletic program. The Friedman Center contains freeweight, selectorized, plyometric, and cardiovascular equipment and has been designed to meet the diverse training needs of Cornell’s athletes. The center can accommodate up to 100 users at a time without compromising safety or function. Its unique features include airconditioning, a 175-watt stereo system, and damage-resistant flooring. Cornell’s varsity strength and conditioning program—nicknamed “Big Red Power”—focuses on enhancing performance and preventing injury. The new facility and equipment enable the staff to prescribe year-round sport-specific programs with variety and precision. Before the training programs are designed, the muscular and metabolic needs for each sport—and for each position within the sport—are analyzed. Athletes are then assessed to identify their individual strengths and weaknesses, and follow-up assessments are conducted at regular intervals. Comprehensive workouts are prescribed to address deficiencies and promote the development of skills used during competition. Injury prevention also is emphasized. Through resistance training, the number and the severity of injuries are reduced. If an injury does occur, the strength and conditioning staff works closely with the sports medicine staff to ensure a safe and complete rehabilitation. The objective is to allow the athlete to resume full participation as soon Tom Dilliplane as possible.

The Ivy League is truly one of a kind. While the 2006-07 academic year marked the 50th season of official Ivy League athletic competition, the rivalries and traditions in the League go so much deeper. The first official athletic competition between League schools was more than 150 years ago (1852, Harvard-Yale rowing) and the first football game was more than 130 years ago (1872, Columbia-Yale). In the early days, the Ivy schools dominated college athletics. All-America status, Olympic medals and national championships were routinely earned by students from the Ancient Eight. Today, Ivy Leaguers continue to claim national titles and Olympic medals — as well as All-America and Academic All-America status. Hundreds continue athletic careers as professionals and hundreds more as coaches and athletic administrators. The student-athletes also are among the nation’s leading public servants, doctors, journalists, lawyers, scientists, scholars, business leaders, entertainers, educators and so much more. The success of the League comes without athletic scholarships while maintaining self-imposed high academic standards. The Ivy League has demonstrated a rare willingness and ability, given the pressures on intercollegiate success throughout the nation, to abide by these rules and still compete successfully in Division I athletics. Sponsoring conference championships in 33 men’s and women’s sports, and averaging more than 35 varsity teams at each school, the Ivy League provides intercollegiate athletic opportunities for more men and women than any other conference in the country. All eight Ivy schools are among the “top 20” of NCAA Division I schools in number of sports offered for both men and women. The term “Ivy colleges” was first in October, 1933 by Stanley Woodward of the New York Herald Tribune to describe the eight current Ivy schools (plus Army). On Feb. 8, 1935, Associated Press sports editor Alan Gould first used the exact term “Ivy League.” The first “Ivy Group Agreement,” signed in 1945, applied only to football. It affirmed the observance of common practices in academic standards and eligibility requirements and the administration of need-based financial aid, with no athletic scholarships. The agreement created the Presidents Policy Committee, including the eight Presidents; the Coordination and Eligibility Committee, made up of one senior non-athletic administrator from each school; and the committee on Administration, comprised of the eight directors of athletics. The Ivy Presidents extended the Ivy Group Agreement to all intercollegiate sports in February 1954. Their statement also focused on presidential governance of the League, the importance of intra-League competition, and a desire that recruited athletes be academically ‘representative’ of each institution¹s overall student body. Although that is the League¹s official founding date, the first year of competition was 1956-57. The Ivy League office is housed in Princeton, N.J., under the leadership of Executive Director Jeffrey H. Orleans, who has been at that post since 1984.

Chris Wlosinski 10th Year at Cornell The Andrew ‘78 & Margaret Paul Assistant Director of Athletics for Student Services and Compliance Chris Wlosinski took over the role of the Andrew ‘78 and Margaret Paul Director of Student-Athlete Support Services in August 2001 and was promoted to Assistant Athletic Director for Student Services and Compliance in March 2005. In her position, she has assumed a dedicated role focused on student-athlete support and compliance with NCAA and Ivy League rules. Cornell and its counterparts embrace a philosophy that includes the notion that student-athletes should experience a mainstream collegiate life, but the university also recognized the extra demands placed on this special population. In August of 1998, the position, the first of its kind in the Ivy League, was created, a role that asks Wlosinski to work as an available and reliable adviser who understands the lifestyle student-athletes lead and assists them in balancing their academic, athletic and personal challenges. In this capacity she also serves as a liaison with the colleges and directs student-athletes to appropriate campus-wide resources for academic and personal needs. When Wlosinski first joined the Big Red program, she worked collaboratively with the director of student-athlete support services, coaches and administrators to provide counseling and academic support services serving 36 varsity sports. She developed and maintained personal contacts with ad-

ministrators and professors throughout Cornell’s seven colleges, and she assisted the director in monitoring the academic progress of student-athletes. Most of Wlosinski’s time is devoted to personal meetings with student-athletes, and while the bulk of her work focuses on freshmen, sophomores and transfer students, she does assist athletes from all classes and across all colleges at Cornell. Wlosinski came to Cornell in August 1999 and worked in compliance, student services and event management. In June 2000, she accepted the position of associate director of alumni affairs and development for athletics where she served until assuming her current position. Prior to joining the Cornell staff, Wlosinski spent a year each as an athletics administrative intern at Bates College and Plymouth State College. She also served as a special education teacher for the learning disabled for seven years in Lancaster, Pa. Wlosinski graduated from Millersville University in 1989 with a bachelor’s degree in special education and from Plymouth State College in 1999 with a master’s degree in education.

General Information

Prominent Cornell Alumni

To be a Cornellian is to be among the best and Cornell University’s intercollegiate athletic program is no different, ranking among the nation’s elite. The Big Red competes at the highest level of intercollegiate athletic competition as an NCAA Division I institution. Rich tradition and history follow Cornell athletics throughout the university’s storied past. Cornellians have been national champions in ice hockey, lacrosse, polo, rowing, track and field and wrestling. They have also earned spots in halls of fame, on All-America teams, on the Olympic medal podium and have written their names in record books as Wimbledon tennis champions and major league players in baseball, basketball, football and hockey. More recently, Cornell has won 45 Ivy League titles in the last five years, including eight during the 2007-08 season. That is only part of the equation. Over the last six seasons, the Big Red has had 16 student-athletes named Academic All-Americans.

The Department of Athletics and Physical Education strives to provide students with powerful and meaningful participatory experiences that forge enduring bonds with Cornell, and to provide for the well-being of members of the faculty, staff, and community. We offer a diverse program of physical and outdoor education, recreational services, and intercollegiate athletic competition, equitably adminstered with special attention to the needs of women and members of under-represented minority groups. We foster the values of physical fitness, total well-being, and enduring participation in athletics; teach leadership skills, teamwork, responsibility, and accountability; and administer programs that can be critical to the educational and personal development of students in keeping with the high standards of Cornell, the Ivy League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The department promotes pride and unity within the university community and provides opportunities to develop, strengthen and maintain ties to external audiences such as alumni, friends, the educational community, and the general public by attracting interest, recognition and support.
