Welcome
Welcome to the Gary Walters ’67 PVC Awards Banquet! A number of honors will be presented tonight. Each represents the storied history of Tiger Athletics in its own way, and each recipient will have his or her position etched permanently in the history of Princeton University.
In addition to recognizing the accomplishments of select Princeton studentathletes, alumni, administrators and friends, the PVC Awards Banquet serves as the capstone to the Princeton student-athlete experience. Tonight, the Great Class of 2024 comes together for one last time at Jadwin Gym to celebrate years of accomplishments on the field, in the classroom and in the community.
The members of the Class of 2024 who are in attendance will also have the opportunity to participate in several traditions. During the program, the contributions of the class will be recognized by the PVC through the official presentation of Princeton Varsity Club lapel pins. The pin represents past and future contributions, and carries with it complimentary PVC membership for the 2024-25 year.
After the rendition of Old Nassau at the conclusion of tonight’s program, each senior letterwinner will be ushered into a distinguished group of alumni through receipt of the traditional Princeton “P” letter sweater. Due to the exceptional generosity of loyal PVC supporters, the letter sweater is free of charge.
To the Great Class of 2024 and all in attendance: THANK YOU, and GO TIGERS!

Marvin Bressler Award
AwardedtothememberofthePrincetonfamilywho,throughheartfelt supportoftheUniversity’sstudent-athletesandcoaches,bestembodiesa beliefinthelifelonglessonstaughtbycompetitionandathleticsasa complementtotheoveralleducationalmission.Awardedinthespiritof MarvinBressler,professorofsociology,1963-94.
Marvin Bressler
When speaking of two of his favorite Princetonians, retired basketball coach Pete Carril and president Robert Goheen, Marvin Bressler said that they shared “a kind of monumental integrity, enormous competence, an overwhelming work ethic and the conviction that character is to be cherished over talent.”
Those are also characteristics that describe Bressler and in part are why Princeton’s Department of Athletics introduced the Marvin Bressler Award in 1997.
Bressler joined the Princeton faculty in 1963 and spent 30 years teaching young men and women sociology and how to think for themselves. He served as the chairman of the department for two decades, and his scholarly interests included the influence of education on social behavior, the impact of society on idea systems and the development of sociological theory.
Bressler received his bachelor’s degree in education from Temple University and his master’s and Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Pennsylvania. He spent five years as an assistant professor at Penn before joining the faculty at New York University in 1957.
An honorary member of two Princeton classes, 1968 and 1982, Bressler retired in 1994 and received the Alumni Council Award for Service to Princeton. It was said that he was dedicated to Alumni Colleges out of the strong conviction that “the University takes on an obligation to maintain an educational relationship with students for a lifetime. Undergraduate education is the beginning, not the end.”

Dr. Mike Gross
Dr. Mike Gross is a Licensed Psychologist who specializes in Clinical and Sport Psychology. He is also a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) as designated by the Association for Applied Sport Psychology.
At Princeton University, Gross serves as the Head of Sport Psychology Services. In this role, he provides mental health counseling, performance consultation, and outreach services to the Athletic Department and its 38 Athletic programs.
Gross began working at Princeton University in November 2018 due to a joint collaboration between Princeton University Athletics and University Health Services to have a Sport Psychologist embedded in Athletics. With an office in Jadwin Gymnasium, Gross has embraced the opportunity to be part of the team around the team. In Jadwin, he regularly meets with student-athletes individually for mental health and sport performance related concerns; and facilitates an ongoing, weekly drop in student-athlete meditation group. In addition, he delivers educational workshops and outreach presentations for teams, coaches, sports medicine personnel, the athletic department, and the campus community on a wide range of topics pertaining to sport performance and mental health.
Gross has a specific passion for mindfulness meditation, and this is often evidenced in his work. He recently presented a workshop in Dillon Gymnasium called “Mindfulness and Acceptance Based Approaches to Enhance Performance in Sport and Life.” In an effort to support coaches and athletics staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, Gross facilitated a weekly meditation group for coaches and athletics staff. He also has led group meditations for the entire Athletics staff as part of Wellness programming for the Athletic Department.
Last year, Gross was named co-leader of the Student Athlete Wellness Leader (SAWL) program. The SAWL program uses a peer helper model in which student-athletes are trained in ways to support teammates and refer them to appropriate resources. Gross has expressed that he relishesthis role because it gives him an opportunity to work with and learn from the SAWLs, and engage in efforts to increase mental health awareness/reduce mental health stigma within the Athletic context.
Outside of his role at Princeton University, Dr. Mike is Founder & Director of TriState SportPsych, a private practice in Short Hills, NJ where he works with athletes ranging from youth to professional levels. He has published several book chapters and peer reviewed journal articles in the areas of mindfulness-based interventions and sport, and mental health and sport. He currently serves on the editorial board for the Journal of Clinical Sport Psychology, a journal in which he used to serve as Senior Associate Editor. Dr. Mike also continues to present at local and national conferences, including a recent presentation at the 2023 Ivy League Mental Health Summit in which he featured Princeton University’s approach to sport psychology services.

A three-time Ivy League Tournament Most Outstanding Player, Kaitlyn Chen has been the gold standard during the best stretch of Princeton Women’s Basketball history. In three playing seasons, Chen has led the Tigers to three Ivy League titles, three Ivy League Tournament crowns and three NCAA Tournament appearances.
Chen, an Anthropology major from San Marino, Calif., helped the Tigers become the first Ivy League women’s team to win NCAA Tournament games in back-to-back seasons. The two-time unanimous First-Team All-Ivy selection and 2023 Ivy Player of the Year has amassed a 74-16 mark during her time at Princeton, finishing her Tiger career with 1,276 points, 359 assists and three Top-25 wins.
Madison Curry concluded her career with a United Soccer Coaches third-team All-American honor, adding that accolade to her three first-team All-Ivy League recognitions and two United Soccer Coaches All-East Region selections, earning first-team honors in 2021 and second-team recognition in 2023. She helped lead the Tigers to the second round of the NCAA Tournament on two occasions.
Curry started 48 games over her 51-game career, and was a regular on the back line contributing to 24 shutouts and holding opponents to a goals-against average of less than a goal a game in each of her first two seasons. A neuroscience major from Coto de Caza, Calif, Curry served as a co- captain as a senior and was drafted by the National Women’s Soccer League’s Angel City FC.
Sarah Fillier was Princeton’s first three-time All-American, earning AHCA second-team honors in 2019, 2020 and 2024. Fillier was a three-time top-10 finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Award, the top honor in women’s college hockey and Princeton’s first three-time finalist for the award. As a senior, Fillier led the nation in scoring, helping her finish sixth in program history with 93 career goals. Fillier added 101 career assists, the second-most in program history.
Her 194 career points are good for fourth-most in program history. Fillier, a psychology major from Georgetown, Ont., earned three first-team AllECAC Hockey honors and was a four-time first-team All-Ivy honoree. A three-time team captain with Princeton, Fillier is a 2022 Olympic gold medalist with Canada and a four-time IIHF World Championship medalist, earning three IIHF gold medals.

Sarah Fry has stroked the women’s lightweight first varsity boat that has never lost during her time at Princeton. In 2022, Fry, a mechanical and aerospace engineering major from Redondo Beach, Calif., helped the varsity eight to a perfect season where it won every race by at least four seconds and captured the IRA Commissioner’s Cup for the first time in program history.
The 2023 season was much of the same as the first varsity won its third straight IRA title while the team earned the Commissioners’ Cup for the second consecutive year. Fry also earned AllAmerica status and has been named to the IRA All-Academic Team twice. The Tigers recently capped an undefeated 2024 regular season, including the third Eastern Sprints championship of Fry’s career.
A two-time All-American, seven time First Team All-Ivy honoree and a five-time Second Team All-Ivy honoree, Ellie Marquardt left her mark on the Princeton women’s swimming & diving program. She was recognized as the 2020 Ivy League Championships High Point Swimmer of the Meet, and concluded her career in 2024 with the Ivy League Championships Career High Point Swimmer distinction.
Marquardt, a history major from Charlotte, N.C., was a key point-scorer during the Tigers’ run of three Ivy League championships in four seasons and ascension to No. 20 in the national rankings. Marquardt holds the program record in the 500 freestyle and the No. 2 times in the 200 and 1650 freestyle events. Marquardt also thrived academically and was a two-time CSCAA Scholar All-American and a 2024 CSC Academic All-District selection.
Ellie Mitchell is a three-time Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year and added Second-Team All-Ivy honors to her resume. She helped Princeton to 100 victories during her four seasons - including a 59-3 Ivy League mark - while adding four Ivy League championships, three Ivy League tournament crowns and two NCAA Tournament victories.
Mitchell, an economics major from Chevy Chase, Md., helped the Tigers become the first Ivy League women’s team to win NCAA Tournament games in back-to-back seasons, defeating Kentucky in 2022 and NC State in 2023. A team captain for the 2023-24 squad that spent a large portion of the season nationally ranked, Mitchell set the program record for career rebounds, grabbing 1,125 during her 117 career games.

William Winston Roper Trophy Finalists
There are four nominees for the William Winston Roper Trophy, awarded annually to a Princeton senior man of high scholastic rank and outstanding qualities of sportsmanship and general proficiency in athletics.
Karim Elbarbary joined the ranks of Princeton’s All-American honorees in 2022, winning the Molloy East draw in his CSA individual championships debut. Elbarbary’s junior season saw him become first-team All-American and add first-team All-Ivy League honors to his résumé while ascending to the number one position in the Tiger line-up.
Elbarbary, a computer science major from Cairo, Egypt, made his Pool Trophy draw debut as a junior as well, making the quarterfinal round. As a senior, Elbarbary had the five-game clinching win in the final men’s match in Jadwin Gym, helping Princeton rally to defeat No. 2 ranked Penn and win its first Ivy League championship since 2013. He proceeded to make the quarterfinals in his second trip through the Pool Trophy draw and earned first-team AllAmerican and first-team All-Ivy honors for the second consecutive season.
Ben Harrington finished his Princeton career becoming the program’s sixth player to receive postseason AVCA All-American recognition as an honorable mention. As a senior, Harrington, an economics major from Glen Ellyn, Ill., broke the NCAA single-match aces record and led the nation in aces per set.
Harrington garnered First Team All-EIVA honors in each of his three seasons of competition. Harrington was the 2022 EIVA Newcomer of the Year and a member of the 2023 EIVA All-Tournament Team, and was named the 2022 EIVA Tournament Most Outstanding Player while leading the Tigers to upset wins over Penn State and NJIT en route to the program’s third EIVA Championship and berth in the NCAA Tournament. Harrington is a seven-time EIVA Offensive Player of the Week and 2024 AllEIVA Academic Team selection.

William Winston Roper Trophy Finalists
Liam Johnson has seen it all during his time at Princeton, collecting back-to-back First-Team AllIvy selections in 2022 and 2023 while corralling 173 total tackles. In 2022, Johnson earned the Bushnell Cup for Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year after contributing 90 tackles and two defensive touchdowns for a team that was in contention for the Ivy crown until the final play of the season.
Johnson, a senior captain and politics major from Moorestown, N.J., was fourth in the conference with 83 stops in 2023. The linebacker also saw time in every game in 2021, helping the Tigers to the 2021 Ivy title with his signature moment being the blocked punt for a touchdown in the fiveovertime victory over Harvard, widely considered one of the greatest games in program history. A selfless leader on the field, Johnson also served as co-President of the Student-Athlete Service Council, spearheading community service efforts across the Department of Athletics.
Tristan Szapary’s final bout as a member of the Princeton fencing team added him to the program’s record books for all-time. Szapary knocked off top-seeded Henry Lawson of Harvard 15-9 in the épée semifinals and then beat Notre Dame’s Jonathan Hamilton-Meikle 15-14, winning on a double touch to take the title. It was Princeton’s ninth individual men’s fencing national championship and first since 2012. The AllAmerican honor that came with the NCAA title was Szapary’s second straight.
Over his Tiger career, Szapary, a two-time team captain from Wynnewood, Pa., was a two-time NCAA regional champion and three-time All-Ivy League honoree, twice earning first-team honors. His final season also saw the team return to the top of the Ivy League, winning its first men’s Ivy title since 2017, a year after Szapary helped the team to a national runner-up finish at the 2023 NCAA Championships. Szapary, a neuroscience major, is also a finalist for the Class of 1916 Cup, recognizing senior student-athletes with the highest academic standing.

Princeton Athletics Friends Groups
The Athletics Friends Groups at Princeton University support a wide range of needs and opportunities within each of the 38 varsity athletics teams. These 18 volunteer groups work diligently to raise funds for items such as out-of-region and foreign travel, on-campus recruiting trips, specialized equipment, technology needs, events for alumni and team banquets. Annual donations to the Athletics Friends Groups can be used immediately by the program to which they are directed.
Athletics Friends Groups aim to secure philanthropic and volunteer support that enables coaches to recruit and develop some of the finest scholar-athletes in the world, and to provide our student-athletes with the best possible overall experience. Friends Groups events and programs (such as fundraising celebration dinners, alumni days, on-the-road gatherings and mentoring & networking nights) offer opportunities to connect with alumni and current student-athletes, and provide invaluable support and a direct impact on Princeton’s teams.
For more information about Athletics Friends Groups, please contact Jeff Ballen, Associate Director of Athletics/Advancement & Athletics Friends Groups, at 609.258.8508 or jballen@princeton.edu.
The Princeton Varsity Club would like to extend a special “thank you” to the many Athletics Friends Groups and Athletic Friends Group leaders who have sponsored tables this evening!
