The Blood File As the Big Red softball team enters its 15th season as a varsity

sport at Cornell, head coach Dick Blood continues to lead the pro-

gram to a promising future.

Now in his 13th year at the helm of the Cornell softball pro-

gram, Blood is looking to regain the Ivy title that he led the Big

Red to in 1999, 2001 and 2004.

Last season, Blood led the Big Red to its best start in program

history opening with 12 wins. Cornell went on to notch a 35-14

record, while going 13-7 in the Ivy League. The Big Red placed

second in the Ancient Eight’s South Division. Alyson Intihar and

Jenna Campagnolo were named to the National Fastpitch Coach-

es Association Mid-Atlantic All-Region teams. Intihar received

# rst-team honors in the utility position, while Campagnolo was

named second-team as an out# elder. Intihar was also one of only

three Ivy League players to be named to the 2007 ECAC Division I

softball all-star team.

Blood collected his 300th career win May 20, 2004, in a dra-

matic upset of Long Beach State in the opening round of the

NCAA tournament. Blood coached Lauren May ‘05 to consecu-

tive Ivy Player of the Year honors (2004-05) and the ECAC Softball

Player of the Year award in 2005. May closed out her career under

Coach Blood in 2005 as Cornell’s all-time leader in batting aver-

age, slugging percentage, home runs and RBI. Blood’s 2005 team

also landed Erin Murtha and Jenna Campagnolo on the All-Ivy

# rst team and Erin Kizer on the second team. Last season, Cam-

pagnolo earned her third-consecutive # rst team honors and was

joined by freshman Alyson Intihar as a utility player.

Blood became the # rst Jan Rock Zubrow ‘77 Head Coach of

Softball when the position was endowed in the summer of 2001.

He has led Cornell to three Ivy League titles in his 12 years, com-

piling an impressive 396-185-1 record. Blood ranks 23rd on the

NCAA Division I winningest active coaches charts with his .681

career winning percentage.

2008 Cornell Big Red Softball

Blood led the Big Red to a team-record 42 wins in 2004 as it

captured a piece of its third Ivy title. The long ball was key to the

team’s success en route to the NCAA tournament, hitting a team-

record 57 home runs.

The Big Red used powerful hitting (54 home runs) and solid

pitching (1.88 ERA) to earn a share of the league championship in

2001. During a play-in series, the Big Red swept Harvard to clinch

a trip to the NCAA tournament. The team’s 54 home runs ranked

second in the country behind NCAA champion Arizona.

Blood also led the Big Red to its # rst Ivy League championship

in 1999, compiling a 41-11 slate in the process. Blood’s squad went

11-1 in the Ivy League, improving on its second-place # nish from

the previous year, while earning a berth to the NCAA tournament

for the # rst time in school history. Although Cornell didn’t repeat

as champions in 2000, the Big Red won 30 games for the fourth-

consecutive season thanks to a # nal-day sweep of upstart Dart-

mouth. The Big Red defeated the Ivy League Pitcher of the Year to

earn the mark.

Blood’s pitching sta" had the 19th-best earned run average in

the country in the 1999 season, allowing opponents a mere 1.43

earned runs per game. His squad was 18th in runs scored (5.23 per

game) and ranked 20th in slugging percentage (.428). The Big Red

was 14th in doubles (1.54 per game), was tied for 33rd with North-

ern Iowa and Canisius in home runs (0.50 per game) and was tied

for 33rd with Coastal Carolina and Cal State Northridge in NCAA

Division I batting average, hitting at a .293 clip. Cornell’s 4-3 victory

over Bethune-Cookman on March 27, 1999, gave Blood his 100th

coaching victory on the East Hill.

The Big Red # nished the 1998 season with a 37-9 mark, earning

its second-straight berth in the Eastern College Athletic Confer-

ence tournament, only to have the championships canceled due

to rain. Blood’s squad # nished in a tie for second place in the Ivy

League with an 8-4 conference slate.

In 1998, Cornell ranked fourth in the nation in home runs (0.87

per game), # fth in slugging percentage (.512), sixth in winning

percentage (.804), eighth in doubles (1.57 per game), 10th in bat-

ting (.328), 12th in scoring (6.15 runs per game) and 13th in triples

(0.43 per game).

In just his second year at the helm of Cornell softball, Blood’s

1997 team compiled a 35-15 record and won its # rst-ever ECAC

championship. The team also # nished seventh in the nation in

home runs (0.64 per game) and 18th in slugging percentage

(.428).

Prior to Cornell, he spent just a year as an assistant coach at

Dartmouth, but was the girls’ varsity softball coach at Hopkinton

(N.H.) High School from 1980-94. During his time there, he posted

an impressive 264-43 record, while also working as an English

teacher at Hopkinton High from 1975-1983. Blood guided Hop-

kinton to eight state championships, including # ve straight from

1985-89, and was named the New Hampshire High School Ath-

letic Association Coach of the Year in 1985 and 1987.

Blood was named National Federation Interscholastic Coach-

es Association New Hampshire Coach of the Year in 1995 for his

many contributions to statewide clinics and was instrumental in

the development of softball in the entire state of New Hampshire.

He worked to establish an Amateur Softball Association for the

state. In 1986, the Cornell mentor began coaching Dolls ‘n Granite

and New Hampshire Granite Junior Olympic teams and his squad

won the regional championships and placed 13th at the national

tournament in 1993. The following year, his team won the state

championship and was a regional contender.

A 1975 graduate of Plymouth State College, Blood earned a

bachelor of science degree in secondary education with a special-

ization in English. He played both basketball and baseball for the

Panthers, captained the diamondmen in 1974 and 1975 and was

the most valuable player in 1973 and 1974.

Upon graduation, Blood coached boys’ basketball at Hopkin-

ton High School from 1975-1981, while also coaching the junior

varsity baseball team from 1975-79. He then became the men’s

assistant basketball coach for two years at New England College

in Henniker, N.H. From 1989-92, he was the assistant softball

coach and pitching coach at New Hampshire College in Manches-

ter, N.H., while also coaching softball at Hopkinton HS.

In 1979, Blood graduated from the Bill Kinnamon Professional

Umpiring School in San Bernardino, Calif., and umpired for two

years in the Class A New York-Penn League.

Blood and his wife, Judy, reside in Ithaca.

Fourth Year At Cornell

NANCY PATTERSONAthletic Trainer

First Year At Cornell

Bill Butler begins his # fth season as an assistant coach under

Dick Blood. He brings experience in all facets of a successful

softball program to the table for the Big Red.

After a stint in the Army from 1961-1962, Butler played

baseball for the Cortland Merchants, a semiprofessional club

associated with the Baltimore Orioles. During the ‘70s and the

‘80s, Butler turned his sights toward fast pitch softball.

A native of Homer, N.Y., Butler was employed for many years

by two local companies, Smith Corona of Cortland and Pall

Corporation.

Butler and his wife, Marna, reside in Homer. They have three

daughters and eight grandchildren.

Former Cornell softball standout Julie Platt Farlow was

named the Big Red’s assistant softball coach in the fall of 2002.

Platt joined head coach Dick Blood after spending four sea-

sons as a part-time assistant softball coach at the University of

Rochester.

Platt was a two-time All-Ivy second-team selection during

her career as a second baseman at Cornell and was a mem-

ber of the 1997 ECAC championship team. In 1996, she posted

a .423 batting average to become the # rst Cornellian to bat

over .400 for a season. Her .375 career batting average and .419

on base percentage stood as school records until 2006. She is

11th in career runs (66) and career hits (128).

Platt graduated from Cornell in 1997 with a bachelor of sci-

ence degree in civil engineering and is currently a licensed

2008 Cornell Big Red Softball

2008 Season Outlook In March, the Big Red will enter its 15th season of play. Cor-

nell will continue its quest to regain the coveted Ivy League ti-

tle, which it claimed for the third time in 2004. The Big Red loses

just two seniors from last season, while nine rookies made an

immediate impact on the # eld and at the plate in 2007. With a

13-7 league record, the Big Red # nished in second place in the

south division, just one game behind Penn.

Senior co-captains Samantha Hare and Liz Larkin will lead

the Big Red this season. Both middle in# elders by trade, Hare

and Larkin can play multiple positions with experience at # rst

base, second base, third base, shortstop and out# eld.

The classmates have demonstrated drive throughout their

time on East Hill. They have experienced the highs and lows

of three seasons and have come through with extra determi-

nation. Both have lived the physical, mental and emotional

bumps and bruises that come with the game and are highly

respected by their teammates.

Hare and Larkin will be joined by classmates Jenna Campag-

nolo, Adrienne Matta, Jenn Meunier and Ashley Wolf on the

road to an Ancient Eight championship. The Big Red has # n-

ished one game short of the title in each of their three seasons,

and the six seniors are determined not to let it elude them

again.

Cornell returns two # rst-team All-Ivy players in sophomore

Alyson Intihar and senior Jenna Campagnolo. Intihar was also

named # rst-team NFCA Mid-Atlantic All-Region as well as # rst-

team ECAC, while Campagnolo received second-team NFCA

Mid-Atlantic All-Region honors.

Head coach Dick Blood returns for his 13th season at the

helm for the Big Red. In his 12 seasons, he has recorded a .681 winning percentage on a 396-185-1 overall record, including

an Ivy League mark of 107-57. Blood will again be joined in

the dugout for the sixth season by Julie Platt Farlow ’97, whose

career batting average of .375 was tops in Cornell history until

Lauren May surpassed her in 2005. Also back for his # fth year

with Blood, is volunteer assistant coach Bill Butler.

The Big Red returns 17 veterans who will join # ve newcom-

ers. The rookies join the team bringing vast experience and

will look to work their way into the lineup. Cornell returns se-

nior pitcher Jenn Meunier to the mound, and will bring back all

three of its starting out# elders whose speed and agility helps

the Big Red both o" ensively and defensively. With great depth

in the in# eld, Cornell will experiment to # nd its best # t.

Pitchers

Returning for her fourth campaign, senior Jenn Meunier has

been the team leader in wins the last three seasons (17, 17, 19).

Armed with a 63-64 mph fastball and a slick backhand change,

she has been one of the top performers in the Ivy League. Join-

ing Meunier in the clay circle will be sophomore Dana Robbins.

Robbins, a lefty, picked up a valuable win in relief last year ver-

sus Ivy League champions Harvard. The lefthander has a bit-

ing curveball and a very deceptive change. Cornell will count

on freshmen Alexandra Tomlinson and Elizabeth Dalrymple to

contribute immediately. Both players have sound mechanics

and both throw hard. Each has a four-pitch arsenal and de-

fends the mound with athleticism.

2008 Cornell Big Red Softball

Catcher

The position of catcher will be capably handled by junior

Nicole Cheever and sophomore Vanessa Leonhard. Cornell will

look for more o" ensive production from the pair of receivers in

2008. Quick feet and strong throwing arms enabled Cheever,

Leonhard, and Sarah Ruben ’07 to shut down the opponents’

running game last year. The three combined to boast a .997

# elding percentage, making only one error in 310 chances.

Sophomores Ashley Garvey, Abby Marlow and junior walk-on

Jaime Tupino could also see time behind the plate.

In# eld

Cornell has added depth at # rst base this year. First-team

regional All-American Alyson Intihar brings experience, a .351

batting average and 11 home runs to the lineup. A season ago,

she played 25 games at # rst, 15 at second, seven at shortstop,

and one at third base. Classmate Ashley Garvey is a smooth-

# elding lefty. Garvey is a good contact hitter capable of driving

in runs. Senior Adrienne Matta can provide solid defense as

well. Matta also plays third base. Elise Menaker and Ali Tomlin-

son will add dependable gloves in reserve.

Intihar, Devon March, and Lauren Battaglia handled second

base last year. While March roamed the out# eld spaces a little,

Intihar and March formed a defensive wall near the keystone

corner. March covers a lot of ground and is prepared to take a

knee on every ball. Kristin Andrzejewski, Izzy Pines and Jaime

Tupino are solid defenders at second base as well as other in-

# eld locations.

Last season third base was ably handled by Menaker. She

batted .331 with eight longballs, while playing in 48-49 games.

Adrienne Matta, Liz Larkin and Kristin Andrzejewski will help

Menaker as the year unfolds. Each has put in plenty of time to

improve her overall defensive ability. Pines played third base

last year as well.

Having played right # eld as a freshman and shortstop as

a sophomore and junior, co-captain Sam Hare returns for her

fourth campaign. Hare logged seven-plus games at shortstop

as a freshman when All-American Lauren May aggravated a

hamstring. Hare’s dependable hands, good range, and keen

instincts bode well for the young in# eld. Larkin, Andrzejewski,

Intihar and Pines are all able to # ll in.

Junior Jessy Berkey, sophomore Abby Marlow, freshman Ali

Tomlinson, sophomore Dana Robbins and freshman Ashley

Garvey could all share time in the designated player slot. As

pitchers too, Tomlinson and Robbins might add defensive $ ex-

ibility to the role. Last season, Berkey hit .318 with 11 doubles

and seven home runs.

Out# eld

Left, center and right # eld will all look familiar this season.

Veterans Meg Risica, Jenna Campagnolo and Ashley Wolf all

return after solid years. Risica batted .262, Campagnolo .361

and Wolf .364 a year ago. All are known for their speed and

ability to take an extra base, stealing 29 bases in 2007. For her

prowess in center # eld, Campagnolo was selected second-

team All-Region. Freshman Marissa Amiraian, a natural lefty,

will provide depth for all three out# eld spots. She is a triple

threat at the plate with an ability to slap, bunt or hit away.

The Schedule

The Big Red has another full schedule in 2008, with 55

games on its slate. The season kicks o" with a third appear-

ance at the George Mason Classic in Fairfax, Va., on March 3-

4, where it will face Niagara, Quinnipiac and George Mason

twice. Just # ve days later, the Big Red will be in Virginia Beach,

Va., for the Spartan Classic on March 7-9. Cornell will take on

Delaware, Morgan State, Niagara, Norfolk State and St. Fran-

cis. The Big Red will then take its annual spring trip to sunny

Florida, where it will participate in the Stetson Invitational in

DeLand, Fla., and the Rebel Spring Games in Kissimmee, Fla.

Cornell will also play a doubleheader at Daytona Beach, taking

on Bethune-Cookman. After returning from the trip south, the

Big Red will kick o" its Ivy slate. In non-conference action, Cor-

nell will face Siena, St. Bonaventure, Syracuse, Ithaca College

and Binghamton.

The Ivy League will once again split into north and south

divisions. Last year was the # rst year of inter-league divisional

play, with both a north and south title up for contention. In

the inaugural year of this system, Harvard grabbed the north

title, while Penn won the south. Both squads earned confer-

ence records of 14-6. Cornell # nished one game back with a

13-7 record in the conference. The new system allows non-di-

vision opponents to play each other twice, while division foes

battle four times at the same site. The two division champions

compete in the Ivy League’s best-of-three championship held

at the home of the higher seed. The winner gains an NCAA au-

tomatic berth.

At Cornell

2007: Hare served as the team’s co-captain during her ju-

nior season and was a mainstay at shortstop, playing in 43

games where she helped turn ! ve double plays. Hare totaled

11 sacri! ce bunts last season and leads in the Big Red career

record books with 35. She has also notched seven sacri! ce

" ies, needing only one more to tie the career record. Hare

was second on the team in batting against Ivy League op-

ponents with a .383 average.

2006: As a sophomore, Hare started all 55 games and was

sixth on the team with a batting average of .262. She record-

ed 13 multi-hit games including notching three hits against

James Madison, Penn and Brown. Hare had ! ve multi-run

games, including recording three runs scored against George

Mason on March 12. Hare staked her claim to the right! eld

position as a freshman and also logged signi! cant time

at shortstop. She made the permanent move to short as a

sophomore.

2005: Hare started all 47 games for the Big Red during her

rookie campaign as well. She proved her versatility by playing

one at third base, three in left and one as the designated play-

er, in addition to her usual spots in right and short. She tied

for third on the team in both RBI (44) and home runs (four).

She had seven multi-hit games and six multi-RBI games on

the year. Hare will be an important player for the Big Red this

season both in the ! eld and at the plate. Her versatility in the

in! eld and out! eld gives the Big Red coaching sta# a number

of di# erent looks to put on the ! eld.

Prior to Cornell

Hare was a four-time letter winner in softball at Watchung

Hills Regional HS. She was an all-conference and all-county

selection as a junior, while playing both shortstop and center

! eld. Hare also won three varsity letters in basketball, serving

At Cornell

2007: As a junior, Campagnolo received her third-straight ! rst-

team All-Ivy honor. The center! elder was also recognized on

the second-team NFCA Mid-Atlantic All-Region squad. Cam-

pagnolo is known around the league for robbing her oppo-

nents of hits by making miraculous diving catches. She was

second on the team with a .361 batting average, while hitting

seven doubles, a triple, and three home runs. Campagnolo was

second on the team in stolen bases with eight.

2006: As a sophomore, Campagnolo was named ! rst-team All-

Ivy for the second-consecutive year. A regular in center! eld,

she also saw time playing right! eld. Campagnolo hit .279, add-

ing strength to the middle of the batting order as well as the

leado# spot. She launched eight doubles, a triple, and three

home runs while raking in 27 RBI.

2005: Campagnolo burst onto the scene her freshman season,

earning ! rst-team All-Ivy honors. She got o# to a hot start,

posting a three-RBI game against Drexel in her ! fth career

contest. For the season, she hit .316 with 17 RBI, three doubles

and three triples. Her three home runs were good for fourth

on the team. She recorded her ! rst career hit against George

Mason on March 6. A dangerous leado# hitter who can reach

base many ways, Campagnolo is also a threat once she is on

the basepaths, going 16-for-18 in stolen base attempts for her

career. A fast, reliable center! elder, she gives the Big Red range

and a strong arm up the middle.

Prior to Cornell

Campagnolo played softball for the Guelph Gators, winning

the 2002 and 2003 provincial championship and placing sec-

ond in the nation in 2002. She was also a member of the Ca-

nadian junior women’s national softball team which came in

second at the Pan-Am Games. She was a multi-sport athlete at

St. James Catholic HS, earning 15 varsity letters in ! ve di# erent

sports. She was a four-time letter winner in basketball, track

and ! eld and badminton and won two letters on the volleyball

team. She was awarded the Outstanding Athletic Achievement

Award in 2003 and 2004 and was named the outstanding fe-

male athlete in 2002.

Personal

Jenna Marie Campagnolo is the daughter of Tom and Cheryl

Campagnolo and has two brothers, one older and one young-

er. She is a student in the College of Agriculture and Life Sci-

ances on the mound for Cornell in 2007, Meunier notched 19

wins and four saves. In the Big Red’s win over Marist, she reg-

istered 10 strikeouts in just ! ve innings. Meunier totaled 52

2008 Cornell Big Red Softball

CORNELL UNIVERSITY

Realizing a Bold DreamIn 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 institu-tion where any person can ! nd 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 nonsec-tarian university that was the ! rst in the eastern United States to admit women and that pioneered the concept of elective courses. Their egali-tarian vision and in-novative ideas, which set Cornell apart at its opening in 1868, continue to guide the university today.

Cornell includes 13 col-leges 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 Ad-ministration; 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 research-ers—Nobel laure-

ates often conduct in-

troductory c o u r s e s —

and the lines of traditional

disciplines are easily crossed.

Engineering stu-dents dabble in photography; the-atre 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 ! nanced expenditures. Cornell ranks second among U.S. uni-versities in funds allocated by the National Science Foundation for programs in academic science and engineering.

Cornell has ! ve national research centers: the Center for High Energy Synchrotron Studies, the Floyd R. Newman Laboratory of Nuclear Studies, the National Astronomy and Iono-sphere Center (which operates the world’s largest radio-radar telescope, in

“I would found an institution

where any person can fi nd

instruction in any study.”

2008 Cornell Big Red Softball

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 fund-ing 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 o" ers reduced tuition to state residents in those col-leges 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 e" orts of current students by sponsoring in-ternships, o" ering career counseling and mentorship, and providing much of the ! nancial support that maintains the university’s world-class libraries, laboratories, and faculty.

Four thousand courses offered by nearly 100 depart-ments, more interdisciplinary programs than you’ll ! nd at any other university in the country, research opportunities for undergraduates in nearly every ! eld, and faculty-guided independent study give you the wherewithal to shape a pro-gram that speaks to your interests and passions and grows with you over your four years here.

Arecibo, Puerto Rico), the Cor-nell Nanofabrication Facility, and the National Science and Technology Center for Com-puter Graphics and Scienti! c Visualization. The university also has four national resource centers: the Latin American Studies Program, the East Asia Program, the South Asia Pro-gram, and the Southeast Asia Program.

Cornell University Library’s 17 Ithaca-campus units provide an array of reference, informa-tion, 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, bi-ology, biotechnology, and related ! elds. Other libraries specialize in African and African American studies, engineering, entomology, the ! ne arts, hotel manage-ment, industrial and labor relations, law, manage-ment, 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 Plan-tations, and the Cor-nell 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.

Cornell may be a cutting-edge research university, but

that doesn’t mean undergraduate education is an after-

thought. 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 ! nd time to build

friendships, volunteer o" campus, hold part-time jobs and

play sports.

And while some stu-

dents spend their four

years close to campus,

many go farther a! eld.

They study natural me-

dicinals in South America,

marine biology off the

coast of Maine, and pub-

lic policy in Albany, N.Y. In

addition to university-run

programs in New York

City, Washington, D.C.,

and Rome, Italy, Cor-

nellians travel to sites

around the world, polish-

ing their language skills

and broadening their

horizons.

• Ithaca and Tompkins County are located in the central Finger Lakes Region of New York State, ! ve hours from New York City, three hours from Niagara Falls, two hours from Rochester and 4.5 hours from Philadelphia.

• 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 o" ers more restaurants per capita than New York City.

• 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. It is one of the only walkable “planet walks” in the world. The Sciencenter, Ithaca’s hands-on museum and outdoor science playground, is the sponsor of the Sagan Planet Walk, and is one of eight museums involved in the partnership of educational attractions called the DISCOVERY TRAIL. Some others include the Museum of the Earth

and Cornell’s Laboratory of Ornithology.

• The downtown Ithaca Commons was named one of the New York’s top design projects of the cen-tury by the state chapter of the American Institute of Architects.

• Ithaca was designated “America’s Most Enlight-ened City” by the Utne Reader in 1997.

• In its June, 2006, issue, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine ranked Ithaca eighth in its list of America’s 50 smartest places to live.

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 down-town. 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. Be-low, Ithaca Falls is one of the more spectacular sights, located just min-utes from the Cornell campus.

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

2008 Cornell Big Red Softball

Andy Noel begins his ninth year as Cornell University’s director of ath-letics and physical education, having led the Big Red athletics program to unprecedented success while setting a course for his vision of continued prosperity.

His position was endowed in December 2003 by Jack ’58 and Diane ’61 Meakem and Scott Smith ’79. Jack is a former oarsman and member of Cornell’s Athletic Hall of Fame, while Scott wrestled under Noel during his time on East Hill.

The Big Red teams have parlayed Noel’s accomplishments into suc-cess on and o" the playing ! eld. Cornell’s athletic teams have won 41 Ivy League team titles and 10 national championships during his tenure and have posted a cumulative .510 winning percentage or better in seven of his ! rst eight seasons, including a .541 percentage in 2006-07. The program captured 31 Ivy titles from 2002-03 through 2005-06, setting a Cornell re-cord dating back to the inception of the Ivy League, including a record nine in 2005-06. Academically in 2006-07, nine student-athletes were named to academic all-district teams, with three of those earning Academic All-America honors, bringing Cornell’s ! ve-year total to 15, among the most of any school in the Ivy League.

Noel accepted the appointment as director after serving three years as an associate director of athletics for the Big Red. Since becoming director, Noel has continued to hire top coaches and has also successfully upgraded a number of department facilities (including renovating Schoellkopf Hall and Lynah Rink and building the Friedman Wrestling Center). During his tenure, he has also been a member of the team that raised $66 million in support of capital projects and endowment, helping secure the ! nancial future of the department. During the campaign, 21 coaching and sta"

positions were endowed, bringing the total number of endowed positions within the department to 30, the most of any school in the country.

Noel was the Big Red’s head wrestling coach from 1974 to 1988 and then served two years as an assistant director in the department’s public a" airs o# ce, implementing the athletic department’s annual giving program.

At Cornell, his wrestling teams won four Ivy League championships and placed second four times. Under Noel’s direction, the wrestling team established a strong network of support from alumni and friends. In 1990, he was recognized at the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association Championships for his distinguished coaching career at Cornell, and in 1992 he was inducted into the New York State Wrestling Coaches Associa-tion Hall of Fame. He is also a member of the Franklin and Marshall Sports Hall of Fame.

In addition to his coaching and administrative career, Noel served on the wrestling committee of the NCAA from 1997-2001. He was a member of the NCAA Championships Cabinet from 2003-06 and serves on both the Misconduct Appeals Subcommittee and the Playing Rules Oversight Panel. Noel is a past chairman of the Ivy League athletic directors’ committee on administration and serves on the Cornell President’s Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs and the Council of Mental Health and Welfare. In 2006, he was named to the Wells College Board of Trustees.

A native of Lancaster, Pa., he graduated from Franklin and Marshall College in 1972 with a bachelor of arts degree in history and received his master of arts degree in counseling and guidance from Colgate University in 1973.

Noel is married to Dr. Betsy Mead Noel ‘86, and has a son Jonathan ‘04 and two daughters, Amanda ‘07, and 2-year-old Amelie.

THE FRIEDMAN CENTER

13th Year at Cornell

Assistant Director of Athletics for

Athlete Performance

TOM HOWLEY

Tom Howley has been the strength and conditioning coach at Cornell since July 1995. In that role, he oversees the design and imple-mentation of athletic performance programs for Cornell’s 36 varsity sports. The comprehensive, year-round programs include strength and power development, mobility skill training and conditioning, and are implemented in a motivating, team-oriented environment.

Prior to his arrival at Cornell, Howley was the assistant director of strength and conditioning at East Carolina University from 1991-1995. During these seasons, the Pirates participated in two bowl games (1992 Peach Bowl and 1995 Liberty Bowl), quali! ed for the NCAA baseball regional tournament (1994) and played in the NCAA basketball tour-nament (1993).

Howley was a graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach at Auburn University from 1989-91, where he earned his master’s degree in exercise physiology. The Tigers were the 1989 Southeastern Conference co-champions, the 1990 Hall of Fame Bowl and the 1991 Peach Bowl champions. Howley also served as an assistant coach with the special teams.

A 1988 graduate of Tulane, Howley earned a bachelor of arts degree in history and was a three-year letterman and two year starting o" en-sive lineman on the football team. The Green Wave played in the 1987 Independence Bowl his senior year. He was the recipient of the New Orleans Quarterback Club Student-Athlete Award as a senior.

Howley is an active participant in the Cornell University/Ithaca Col-lege chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He and his wife, Amanda, reside in Ithaca with their daughter, Anna Corrine.

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-square-foot Friedman Strength and Conditioning Center. Completed in June 1997, this impressive $2 million addition to Bartels Hall re% ects the university’s strong commit-ment to athletic excellence. Coaches and team members alike credit the center, its world-class equipment, and ! rst-rate sta" with adding immensely to the success of the Big Red athletic program.

The Friedman Center contains free-weight, 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 air-condition-ing, a 175-watt stereo system, and dam-age-resistant % ooring.

Cornell’s varsity strength and condition-ing program—nicknamed “Big Red Pow-er”—focuses on enhancing performance and preventing injury. The new facility and

equipment enable the sta" to prescribe year-round sport-speci! c 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 de! ciencies 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 sta" works closely with the sports medicine sta" to ensure a safe and complete rehabilitation. The objective is to allow the athlete to resume full participation as soon as possible.

2008 Cornell Big Red Softball

27th Year at Cornell

Asst. Director of Athletics for Sports Medicine

Doc Kavanagh Head Athletic Trainer &

Physical Therapist

BERNIE DePALMA

Bernie DePalma’s top priorities are the health and safety of the student- athletes, and providing them with a safe environment for train-ing and competition. He has been an integral member of the athletic sta" as head of physical therapy, athletic training and rehabilitation for Cornell University Health Services since August 1980 and head athletic trainer since 1983.

DePalma graduated from Quinnipiac College with a bachelor of science degree in physical therapy in 1978 and received his master’s degree in athletic training-sports medicine from the University of Virginia in 1980.

DePalma and the Big Red head coaches work together in planning practice schedules to assist in the prevention of injuries. DePalma also works closely with the strength and conditioning sta" to assist with injury prevention.

DePalma was a founding member of the Cornell sports nutrition discussion group, which examines the role nutrition plays in the student-athlete’s well-being and performance. He also manages programs he developed for graduate assistantships with Ithaca College and athletic trainer internships from Ithaca and other area colleges. He supervises seven full-time sta" members and numerous part-time assistants.

DePalma’s expertise impacts national athletics legislation. He has served on numerous NCAA committees, including the Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sport Safety, which he chaired; the NCAA special committee on student-athlete welfare, access and equity; and the national athletic trainer’s task force which developed medical coverage guidelines for all intercollegiate athletic programs.

He was honored in 2001 by the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) with the Most Distinguished Athletic Trainer Award. The award recognizes the NATA’s certi! ed members for their outstanding contribu-tions to the profession of athletic training and to the association.

DePalma and his wife, Mary, have a daughter, Taylor, and a son, Turner.

ATHLETIC TRAININGAthletic training at Cornell University is dedicated to providing all

student-athletes in the department with the highest level of health

care. The care given by the Big Red training sta" goes well beyond the

daily medical concerns that every Division I program has regarding

injury prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. The total health

care of the individual is the goal of the Cornell program.

2008 Cornell Big Red Softball

The Ivy LeagueThe Ivy League is truly one of a kind.While the 2006-07 academic year marks the 50th

season of o# cial Ivy League athletic competition, the rivalries and traditions in the League go so much deeper. The ! rst o# cial athletic competition between League schools was more than 150 years ago (1852, Harvard-Yale rowing) and the ! rst football game was more than 130 years ago (1872, Columbia-Yale).

In the early days, the Ivy schools dominated col-lege 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 Aca-demic 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, doc-tors, 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 aca-demic 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 o" ered for both men and women.

The term “Ivy colleges” was ! rst 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 ! rst used the exact term “Ivy League.”

The first “Ivy Group Agreement,” signed in 1945, applied only to football. It a# rmed the observance of common practices in academic standards and eligibil-ity requirements and the administration of need-based ! nancial aid, with no athletic scholarships. The agreement created the Presidents Policy Committee, including the eight Presidents; the Coordination and Eligibility Com-mittee, 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 Agree-ment to all intercollegiate sports in February 1954. Their statement also focused on presidential gover-nance 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 o# cial founding date, the ! rst year of competition was 1956-57.

The Ivy League o# ce is housed in Princeton, N.J., un-der the leadership of Executive Director Je" rey H. Orleans, who has been at that post since 1984.

Support Services Academic ServicesAcademic counseling is provided in partnership with the student-athletes’ assigned aca-

demic advisers and college advising o# ce.

Academic contracts are developed in conjunction with the student-athlete to outline spe-

ci" c academic goals for the semester.

Academic monitoring of current course grades and academic performance can be request-

ed from instructors by coaches or student-athletes at anytime throughout the semester.

The instructor will be asked to " ll out a form and return it to Athletic Student Services Of-

" ce. Once received, a follow-up meeting with the director allows the student-athlete to

meet and discuss their academic progress.

Tutoring services are available to all student-athletes as a supplement to existing tutorial ser-

vices on campus. Student-athletes may request a tutor by completing a tutor request form that

can be obtained from their coach or the form can be printed from www.CornellBigRed.com.

Laptop computers are available for student-athletes to sign out on away athletic trips. You

may request a laptop by contacting Chris Wlosinski. There is a limit of one per team and are

available on a " rst-come " rst-serve basis.

Study skills workshops can be arranged through the Athletic Student Services o# ce. Re-

ferrals to the Center for Learning and Teaching provide additional support for individual

academic and study skills support.

Support ServicesPersonal Needs Counseling - Student-athletes are encouraged to schedule an appoint-

ment with the director when they have concerns regarding academic, athletic, or personal

issues. Assistance will be provided and referrals will be made to appropriate support ser-

vices on campus.

Educational Seminars/Workshops - Various seminars and workshops are given through-

out the year and provide information relevant to student-athletes. Past workshops include

topics such as nutrition and eating disorders, alcohol education, sports psychology, wom-

en’s health issues, and study skills.

Career Development - Services Career development services for student-athletes are co-

ordinated with the University Career Center and each of the undergraduate colleges. Ser-

vices including assistance with resume writing and conducting a job search is also available

through the various Career Centers across campus.

Student-Athlete Assistance Fund - Money is available for Pell Grant recipients and to

non-US citizens who have demonstrated need that is comparable to those qualifying for

Pell grants and are receiving institutional aid. There is a $500 allowance for clothing and

essentials and/or travel home and $100 for academic course supplies.

Class of ‘44 Study RoomStudent-athletes at Cornell have access to the Class of ’44 Study Room. The room is furnished

with study tables and chairs to comfortably accommodate 15-20 people in addition to the

computers that are all equipped with internet access.

Members of Cornell’s Class of 1944 contributed to the project, covering the expense of new

furniture, computers, a printer, a lectern and a coat rack. The space is conveniently located in

Bartels Hall and is accessible to student-athletes between classes and before and after practice.

The room is open Monday to Thursday 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Fridays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Chris Wlosinski took over the role of the Andrew ‘78 and Margaret Paul Director of Student-Athlete Support Services in August 2001 and was pro-moted 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 no-tion that student-athletes should experience a mainstream collegiate life, but the university also recognized the extra demands placed on this special pop-ulation. In August of 1998, the position, the ! rst 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 ! rst joined the Big Red program, she worked collabora-tively with the director of student-athlete support services, coaches and ad-ministrators 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 as-sisted the director in monitoring the academic progress of student-athletes.

Most of Wlosinski’s time is devoted to personal meetings with stu-dent-athletes, and while the bulk of her work focuses on freshmen, soph-omores 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 a" airs and development for athletics where she served until assuming her current position.

Prior to joining the Cornell sta" , 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.

2008 Cornell Big Red Softball

Niemand•Robison

Field Since its dedication on April 25, 1998, the Big Red softball team has called Niemand•Robison Field home. The Niemand•Robison Softball Field features dual batting cages and bullpens. Concrete dugouts, seating for 200, a press box, a sound system and an electronic scoreboard sur-round the playing ! eld. The playing surface consists of an in! eld of Marco clay, a product of Canada and installed in August, 2005, a Kentucky bluegrass out! eld and a ston-edust warning track. Tall oaks, shag bark hickories, sugar maples and white pines encircle the ballpark. The Big Red has amassed 104 wins at Niemand•Robison ! eld in the 10 seasons it has played at the facility and holds a .744 win percentage while enjoying the friendly con! nes of Niemand•Robison. The complex was made possible by a lead gift from Arno Niemand ‘56 and sup-porting gifts from the Ellis H. Robison ‘18 Fund and the President’s Council for Cornell Women.

To be a Cornellian is to be among the best and Cornell

University’s intercollegiate athletic program is no dif-

ferent, 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 tra-

dition and history follow Cornell athletics throughout

the university’s storied past. Cornellians have been na-

tional champions in ice hockey, lacrosse, polo, rowing,

track and ! eld 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 37 Ivy

League titles in the last four years, including six during

the 2006-07 season. That is only part of the equation.

Over the last ! ve seasons, the Big Red has had 15 stu-

dent-athletes named Academic All-Americans. Going NationalThe Big Red participated in 14 NCAA tournaments or national meets in 2006-07 while getting All-America performances from 26 student-athletes. Cornell athletes were also recognized for their academic performances, garnering four ESPN the Maga-

zine Academic All-America selec-tions and 11 All-District bids.

DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS AND

PHYSICAL EDUCATION MISSION STATEMENT

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, sta" , 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

! tness, total well-being, and enduring participation in athletics; teach

leadership skills, teamwork, responsibility, and accountability; and ad-

minister 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 com-

munity 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.

The senior class of 2006 combined for a record

31 Ivy titles in their four seasons, continuing the

program’s storied success in athletics.
