Alison Coughlin Averill

A

lison “Ali” Coughlin was a varsity tri-sport athlete earning 11 varsity letters playing soccer, ice hockey, and lacrosse all four years—with the exception of taking off soccer season her senior year to focus on college.

Coughlin held the single-season soccer scoring record and led the team to win the New England Championship her upper year. She was also the highest scorer in Andover girls’ ice hockey history her senior year, tallying her 100th goal in her upper year. In lacrosse, Coughlin was leading scorer her lower, upper, and senior years. Upper year she was named second team All-American and as a member of the New England team.

Senior year, Coughlin became the all-time leading scorer in Andover lacrosse history and was named athlete of the year by The Phillipian.

Coughlin matriculated to Princeton University, where she

2

continued to play ice hockey and lacrosse. Following freshman year, Coughlin continued to focus solely on ice hockey. She was named a finalist in both 1998 and 1999 for the Patty Kazmaier Award—an award given to the top female college ice hockey player in the United States. Coughlin was named hockey MVP her senior year and holds the following records for Princeton: 9th for most points in a career, 5th for most goals in a career, and 3rd (tie) for most goals in a game. Coughlin was named Second Team All-ECAC in 1998 and ECAC Player of the Week as a Princeton junior.

Currently, Coughlin is raising and coaching four daughters, all of whom play ice hockey for the East Coast Wizards.

Following in her mother’s footsteps, eldest daughter Anne ’23 will play varsity ice hockey for the Andover girls’ program as an upper next year.

Hope Barnes

H

ope Barnes entered Phillips Academy as a lower in 1973, the first year of coeducation. As an upper, she was varsity field hockey’s starting goalie, and the nascent team achieved an impressive 7–2 record.

In 1976, Hope joined the women’s crew at the University of Washington. In 1978, she transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, where she captained the undefeated women’s rowing team. She earned a spot on the 1980 Olympic team but did not compete because of the U.S. boycott of the Moscow games. She won a silver medal in the 1981 World Rowing Championships. In 1984, Hope was captain of the women’s crew in the Los Angeles Olympics. She was a two-time gold medalist in the Head of the Charles Regatta. While attending graduate school at the University of Washington, she was the 1985–1986 chair of the Women’s Olympic Rowing Committee.

Hope, an avid extreme skier and mountaineer,

4

accomplished many first-female descents, most notably the 20,302-foot Nevado Copa in Peru. On January 28, 1991, Hope died in an ice-climbing accident on Dragontail Peak in Washington’s Cascades. Posthumously, she was given the 1991 Ernestine Bayer Award by USRowing for her remarkable rowing achievements and contributions to women’s crew. She was also awarded a PhD in medicinal chemistry from UW. The Barnes Trophy was first awarded in October 1991 to the winner of the women’s four championship in the Head of the Charles.

UPenn’s Hope Barnes Award, established in 1991, is presented to the student-athlete who embodies outstanding commitment, leadership, and achievement as a member of women’s crew. The Hope Barnes Fellowship Fund was established at UW by Hope’s family to support and encourage talented graduate students in medicinal chemistry.

1969

John G. Clark

K

nown to his teammates as “Clarkie” or “Johnny,” John Clark earned a total of nine varsity letters in soccer, hockey, and lacrosse in three years.

As a soccer center forward his upper year, he was the highest scorer and was named Athlete of the Term by The Phillipian. As captain his senior year, Clark tied for most goals scored and was named Athlete of the Week.

In hockey, Clark played left wing and as an upper was second-highest goal scorer on a 17–3 team that won its second consecutive Lawrenceville Tournament. As captain his senior year, Clark tallied the second highest in goals and assists, leading the team to a 14–4–1 record, which included a tie with the Harvard freshman team and losses only to college freshman teams. Andover won the New England Prep School Championship that year.

A midfielder in lacrosse, Clark was named Athlete of the

6

Week during his senior year, which culminated with a team record of 10–1. Clark led the 1969 team in scoring, including the 100th goal (soccer, hockey, and lacrosse combined) of his Andover career in the final Andover-Exeter lacrosse match. He was voted the #1 athlete in the 1969 Pot Pourri and was the winner of the Press Club Award.

At Yale, Clark was a soccer and hockey starter freshman year. He then went on to start for three years for varsity soccer.

He was the perennial high scorer and a three-year All-Ivy selection. He also played varsity hockey his sophomore year.

Clark was director of advancement at Loomis Chaffee School and the American School of London before joining Carney, Sandoe & Associates in 2011 as a senior search consultant for independent schools worldwide seeking senior administrators. Clark recently served on the Alumni Council’s Communications Committee and as a class co-agent.

2010

A

native of Boxford, Mass., Chris Kreider came to Andover in 2007 as a lower. He was a talented newcomer on the varsity hockey team and became the team’s leader in goals. The following season, Kreider led the team with 56 points, contributing to a team record of 17–5–4. Despite a great showing in the 2009 NEPSHL playoffs, the team fell short in the semifinals. Kreider was also highly talented as a varsity lacrosse player.

Kreider was selected in the first round (No. 19) of the 2009 NHL draft by the New York Rangers. However, he opted to play for Boston College, becoming one of the top players in the nation during his three seasons there. As a freshman, Kreider helped the Eagles win a national championship. Kreider was named to the 2010 Hockey East All-Rookie Team. The following year the team didn’t win the National Championship, but the Eagles managed to win the Beanpot Tournament for a second

8

year in a row, with Kreider named tournament MVP. In the 2011–2012 season at BC, Kreider made history with 23 goals and 45 points along with helping the Eagles win their second NCAA championship in three seasons.

Kreider signed an NHL contract with the New York Rangers on April 10, 2012, and six days later made his NHL debut. He scored his first NHL goal in Game 6 vs. the Ottawa Senators in the NHL Eastern Conference quarter finals. Kreider was named to the NHL All-Star game for the first time in 2020.

In February 2020, Kreider signed a seven-year contract extension with the Rangers.

Embodying the non sibi spirit, Kreider organizes an annual fundraiser called “Slap Out Epilepsy”—a cause that is close to his heart. Fellow NHL players, NWHL players, and Olympians run the on-ice clinic, which is held at Phillips Academy’s Harrison Rink.

Charles R.H. Miers

C

harles Miers began his Andover athletic career by failing the notorious Physical Aptitude Test (PAT) in 1972–1973, a requirement for all entering juniors. As a result, Miers was not able to play sports until he “graduated” from a semester-long remedial gym program.

Miers’s love for running started with laps around the Cage’s raised track—although the love of competing remained a distant dream. His senior year, Miers was asked to try out for the cross-country team; he went on to earn varsity letters in cross-country, indoor track, and outdoor track as well as Athlete of the Week honors from The Phillipian. Miers also finished second in New England interscholastic competition his senior year.

Miers continued his track career at Columbia University, earning nine varsity letters in cross-country and indoor and outdoor track. He paced the Columbia Lions to their first-ever

10

Ivy League Cross Country championship in 1979, was honored with the coach’s Outstanding Athlete of the Year award for cross-country and track that same year, and then captained the 1980 Columbia cross-country team. Some 40 years later, Miers still remains in the Columbia University record books as eighth on the all-time performance list for 10,000 meters.

After college, he represented the New York Athletic Club and Adidas and posted a 2:16.37 marathon (No. 13 all-USA time for that year) to qualify for the 1988 U.S. Olympic Trials.

Professionally, Miers’s career combined work as a full-time book editor and publisher while simultaneously competing on a national level in his sport during his twenties and early thirties. Since 2001, Miers has been a publisher for Rizzoli New York, which is internationally recognized for its excellence in publications in the arts and culture, particularly in fashion, interior design, architecture, fine art, and photography.

1970

James L. Shea

A

four-year PA student, Jim Shea came to Andover from Baltimore in 1966. Deke DiClemente—a beloved coach, teacher, and mentor—called Shea “the finest clutch performer I’ve ever seen.”

Shea was captain of the basketball and lacrosse teams his senior year. He was the leading lacrosse scorer that year and held the basketball team together through a challenging winter.

As a senior, Shea was selected by The Phillipian as Athlete of the Year “for his strong performances and determination in lacrosse, soccer, and basketball. Shea provided the necessary enthusiasm, desire, and ability to lead the teams to successful seasons.” Shea also received the Schubert Key—awarded to Andover’s finest athlete—and the Yale Bowl.

At Princeton University, Shea majored in history, lettered in soccer, and captained the lacrosse team. He won the Higginbotham Trophy, awarded to a senior with the

12

most outstanding play, distinguished sportsmanship, and gentlemanly conduct. During his summers, Shea played competitive tennis, achieving a top 20 ranking in Maryland.

Shea graduated from Princeton in 1974 and went on to the University of Virginia to earn a law degree. After service as a law clerk to a federal judge and as an assistant in Maryland’s Office of the Attorney General, Shea joined Venable, an AmLaw 100 firm, rose through the ranks to become partner, and served as the firm’s managing partner/chair from 1995 to 2017. Shea is also former chair of the Board of Regents of the University System of Maryland, the Central Maryland Transportation Alliance, the Downtown Partnership of Baltimore, and Baltimore’s Empowerment Zone.

Shea lives in Owings Mills, Maryland, with his wife of 43 years, Barbara. The couple has four children, one of whom graduated from Andover in 1999.

1965

Varsity Lacrosse Team

E

ven Coach Robert Hulburd had minimal expectations for the 1965 lacrosse team: nine starters out of 11 from the previous year had graduated. Hulburd told The Phillipian that the team’s depth appeared questionable, the schedule was “very rough,” and the athletes “would be hard-pressed to match the record of last year’s team.” The opposition included three college freshman squads, a college varsity team, and a postgraduate club.

Hulburd and Assistant Coach Meredith Price selected 29 players for varsity—18 seniors, 10 uppers, and one lower.

A mix of the previous year’s benchwarmers and JV call-ups, the team, captained by Daniel Warren ’65, epitomized a non sibi approach to its challenges.

The 1965 lacrosse season began April 14 at home, days after The Phillipian’s less-than-enthusiastic forecast, which was headlined “Hulburd’s Shallow Lax Squad.” Seven weeks

14

later, Andover lacrosse beat Exeter 15–3, the largest margin of victory for Andover in the competition’s history, capping a first-ever undefeated, untied lacrosse season (11–0) in school history. Within days, Andover was declared New England Interscholastic Champion. “It was beyond my wildest expectations,” Hulburd said.

Four senior starters earned New England All-Prep recognition. Nine seniors went on to play NCAA Division One lacrosse. One player became UNC’s first-ever All-American, another captain of Princeton’s varsity, and still another—who never started a game for Andover—was chosen by Yale to represent the university at the season-ending North-South All-Star Game and was named to both the All-Ivy and All-America teams. Two underclassmen would also become college All-Americans. In 2013, Hulburd was posthumously inducted into the Andover Athletics Hall of Honor.
