Mike Moore (hockey) and David Nightingale (cross country and track & field) shared the 2008 William Winston Roper Trophy, the highest male studentathlete award at Princeton. The award was originally given by Mrs. William Winston Roper and the Class of 1902 in honor of Princeton’s famed football coach. It goes annually to “a Princeton senior male of high scholastic rank and outstanding qualities of sportsmanship and general proficiency in athletics.” Moore was the leader on and off the ice for the 2008 Princeton men’s hockey team, which won the ECAC and Ivy League championships and advanced to the NCAA Mike Moore ’08 tournament for just the second time.

He qualified for three NCAA cross country championships individually, earning All-America honors in 2006 with an impressive 39th-place finish. In 2007, he was an All-America in the indoor mile and the outdoor 5,000 meters after finishing eighth at the NCAA championship meet in those events.

PVC 2008 Award Winners

Art Lane ’34 Award Gudmundsen, Honigberg, Lewis-Lamonica honored

Ted Gudmundsen, Michael Honigberg and Katie Lewis-Lamonica shared the 2008 Art Lane ’34 Award, given to honor selfless contribution to sport and society by an undergraduate athlete. Art Lane won the Pyne Prize and captained the 1933 Princeton football team to the national championship as an undergraduate before going on to a career as a Naval officer, a federal judge and a corporate general counsel. Ted Gudmundsen took the 2005-06 school year off to work with Africare in Zambia, where he spent six months working on business development for groups of unemployed youth and then six months in education. The focus of his educational effort was to teach critical thinking to 400 students through an innovative curriculum that utilized traditional American board games as learning tools. He also has been active in the Odyssey of the Mind competition, which presents students with a contemporary issue that is addressed and solved through the performance of a skit. Ted brought the program to the Lawrence school district and created a program that saw five teams the first year advance to international competition. Gudmundsen was a physics major from Great Falls, Va. Michael Honigberg also has spent time in Africa as an educator, teaching math and English in the impoverished township of Kensington’s slum area near Cape Town, South Africa. The summer before his trip to Africa, he worked at the Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., in the burn unit with children who were recovering from burn injuries. Additionally, he has volunteered with the Special Olympics and taught disabled children to swim. He has also been involved in swimming lessons for local Princeton children and has even been a volunteer violinist at Princeton-area nursing homes. He will be returning to Africa after graduation to work in pediatric AIDS treatment for a year before heading to medical school. Honigberg was a Woodrow Wilson School major from McLean, Va. Katie Lewis-Lamonica has been active with Princeton Engineers Without Borders, a local chapter of a national humanitarian organization that implements sustainable engineering projects in developing countries. Katie helped raise $30,000 annually as Vice President of the organization, and in the summer of 2006 she spent three weeks in Peru helping install solar energy while also teaching the local villagers basic physics, the benefits of sustainable technology and the operation and maintenance of the system. She also tutored in the English as a Second Language program, worked as a mentor in the Trenton Bridge Lacrosse Program, volunteered at the Anchor House shelter for abused and homeless youth and helped out at eight women’s health centers in New York City with maternal infant care. She also traveled to Cape Town, South Africa, where she worked with Mothers To Mothers, a mentoring program offering peer education and support to HIV-positive pregnant women and new mothers. Lewis-Lamonica was a Woodrow Wilson School major from Lawrenceville, N.J. Pictured: Michael Honigberg (top), Ted Gudmundsen (middle), Katie Lewis-Lamonica (bottom).

The PVC Letter Sweater Program The Princeton Varsity Club is pleased to continue the PVC Letter Sweater Program, a tradition that began in 2007 and provides traditional “P” letter sweaters to all Princeton senior student-athletes free of charge. In recognition of their dedicated service as leaders of the student-athletes of the Class of 2008, the PVC presented three senior members of the Varsity Student Athlete Advisory with their traditional sweaters. They included: Meagan Cowher - Women’s Basketball, Ryan Dvorak - Men’s Swimming, and Ivana King - Women’s Tennis. Thanks to the PVC, these sweaters figure to continue to be a popular part of Princeton athletic tradition.

Marvin Bressler Award Awarded to that member of the Princeton family who, through heartfelt support of the University’s student-athletes and coaches, best embodies a belief in the lifelong lessons taught by competition and athletics as a complement to the overall educational mission.

Bressler Award winner Kenny Samuel with Director of Athletics Gary Walters ’67. The American Heritage Dictionary defines an icon as, among other things, an “important and enduring symbol.” Near the top of any list of Princeton University’s modern icons sits Kenny Samuel, the 2007-08 winner of the Princeton Varsity Club’s Marvin Bressler Award. His contributions are enduring because, as of the end of May 2008, he had concluded an astonishing 42 full years in the Princeton Department of Public Safety. His contributions are important because, as he enters his 43rd year on campus, Sergeant Samuel continues to distinguish himself with his commitment to the University and to the Princeton community at large. Without question, he has made a special contribution to the Department of Athletics. For more than 40 years, Princeton student-athletes, particularly those from the football team, have relied on Samuel’s advice and guidance as he performed his unofficial role of “community liaison.” Sergeant Samuel is well known for his presence on the Princeton football sideline, both at home and on the road, but his influence on game days and the rest of the year goes well beyond that of a typical Princeton supporter. Away from the athletic realm, Samuel conceived the Department of Public Safety’s “Tiger Patrol,” which relies on students to assist officers with certain responsibilities. He also conceived the idea for the department’s bike patrol unit, and the sight of Samuel on his bike engaging Princeton students remains among the most common and comforting on campus. Samuel also was the recipient of Princeton’s prestigious Presidential Achievement Award in 2005.

PVC 2008 Award Winners

Class of 1916 Cup Landis Stankievech won the Class of 1916 Cup, awarded to the Princeton varsity letterwinner who, continuing in competition in his or her senior year, achieved at graduation the highest academic standing. It was given by the Class of 1916 on the occasion of its 50th reunion. Stankievech excelled at Princeton in the classroom and on the ice. He received several extraordinary academic distinctions during his Princeton career, including a Rhodes Scholarship and the Pyne Prize, and was college hockey’s Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award winner. On the ice he was a key part of Princeton’s 2008 ECAC and Ivy championship team and

secured the ECAC title with the game-winning goal in the title game against Harvard. Stankievech was a mechanical and aerospace engineering major from Trochu, Alberta.

It’s impressive enough to find out that Marty Eichelberger, a star in both lacrosse and football at Princeton, has gone on to become a worldrenowned pediatric surgeon. What is more impressive, however, is how his far-reaching commitment and devotion to children have resulted in significant changes in child safety awareness that have likely saved millions of lives. Eichelberger, a 1967 Princeton graduate, is Chief of Trauma and Burn Services at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. His crowning achievement, however, is SAFE KIDS Dr. Martin Eichelberger ’67 P97 earned the PVC’s Citizen Athlete Award for 2008. Worldwide, an organization he founded in 1988 and has devoted to reducing unintentional childhood injury. His efforts with SAFE KIDS Worldwide have led to numerous childhood safety initiatives, ranging from child occupant protection laws to playground safety guidelines to programs dealing with sports injury reduction. Since the organization’s founding in the late 1980’s, the United States has experienced a 45% reduction in fatalities from childhood accidents. As chairman of SAFE KIDS, Dr. Eichelberger has raised more than $80 million, in the process testifying before Congress and making numerous media appearances. A Brazilian-born U.S. citizen, Dr. Eichelberger has used that background to take SAFE KIDS to 16 countries worldwide, including his native Brazil. The organization now comprises more than 600 grassroots alliances in every state and throughout the world. For those efforts, he was the 2003 winner of the Abraham Horwitz Award for International Health Leadership for his outstanding contributions to improving health in the Americas. Dr. Eichelberger is also a Professor of Surgery and Pediatrics at The George Washington University School of Medicine. After Princeton, he attended medical school at Hahnemann University in Philadelphia and completed his surgical education at Case Western Reserve University and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. At Princeton, the Abington, Pa., native was an All-Ivy pick both in football as a back and in lacrosse as a stellar midfielder. He was a first-team selection in football in 1965, helping the Tigers to an 8-1 record. In 1966, he earned All-America and All-Ivy first team honors in lacrosse, and in 1967 he captained the Tigers to an Ivy League lacrosse title, a feat the Tigers would not repeat for 25 years. His contributions to Princeton lacrosse would continue a generation later, when son Todd Eichelberger ’97 helped the Tigers win NCAA championships in 1994, 1996 and 1997. Like his father, he also earned AllAmerica and first-team All-Ivy honors during his Princeton career.

PVC Banquet Testimonials

Landis Stankievech ’08 A PVC Banquet Testimonial

For the many of the you who’ve never met me, I’d just like to explain. I spent more Saturday nights at the E-quad than at the Street. For you AB students the E-quad is the place on the corner of campus where we engineers go to have the humanity slowly drained from our souls. I can’t really tell you more about it than that as I’ve burned all memory of it from my brain. But moving on, I first want to congratulate all of my classmates here upon our graduation. Hopefully you have had an amazing four years here. It’s certainly been amazing for me. I also want to congratulate you specifically for being here, for being Princeton varsity athletes. We’ve all had different athletic experiences here. Some of us may have been superstars. Some of us may never have left the bench. Some, and probably many of us have won championships. Some may have battled through four seasons of struggles. But the bottom line, the common denominator here, is that we’re all Princeton athletes. We all wore that big bright letter P and represented our University. For me there’s an aura about the Princeton P. I remember on my recruiting trip, five-and-a-half years ago, I went to the hockey locker room to meet the team after an exhibition game. In the hockey locker room there used to be a big orange P right in the middle of the floor. I remember as I walked around the room I naively stepped right on it. As I soon found out, when everyone in the room starting yelling at me, this was a mistake. One of the team rules specifically was “Don’t step on the P”. Now, that hockey rule may have just been a cheesy tradition, but at the time it actually made an impression on me. It spoke to me of the respect for this institution and the pride that the players had for Princeton hockey and for Princeton Athletics. This was in the middle of a season when the hockey team would win three of 30 games, yet they still appreciated playing for Princeton. I remember later on that trip, I got a chance to go the Princeton U-Store and buy my own Princeton hockey shirt. I remember reverently hanging it up my closet at home with all of the tags still on it. I said to myself. “I’m not wearing that shirt until I’ve played a game for Princeton University—until I’ve actually pulled the real jersey over my head”. That shirt still hangs in my closet at home, with all the tags. It hasn’t moved in five and a half years. When I look about my dorm room

now, I’ve got so many Princeton shirts, Princeton shorts, and so much Princeton gear with that big letter P strewn about the room, that I don’t even think about that one shirt I’ve got at home and what it used to mean to me. I guess the whole point of this story is that sometimes it’s easy to forget exactly what a great school we play for and how great this place is. Maybe we can lose that sense of awe that some of us first add when we got here. Maybe we forget how fortunate we are to be studentathletes at Princeton University. For some of you, maybe this is where you always knew you’d end up. But for me, growing up in Western Canada, Princeton was something out of this world, the subject of movies, and maybe overinflated dreams. Now, at the end of my four years here, with the day-to-day grind over, I’m able to sit back and see again how amazing this place is. The top professors, the great coaches, the wonderful facilities. The administration and the athletic department are doing their best to make it possible for us to pursue our dreams here, and they do a pretty good job of it. This is not to say that everything goes perfect when you are here. As I said, we’ve all had different experiences here, different levels of success and failure. But we’ve all stuck by athletics, and we’re here tonight to celebrate that. If you’re like me, then perhaps there were moments when it wasn’t easy, when, for whatever reasons, you had doubts about it, when you questioned whether it was worth it. As we all know, and is often talked about, because we aren’t scholarship athletes, we could have walked away form the sports world at any time without losing the rest of our Princeton lives. But we didn’t. And for me at least, the choice to stick with it has made a world of difference. I’ve had moments, playing for Princeton Athletics, playing for Princeton hockey, that were so incredible, that those single moments would easily wipe away the total sum of doubts and frustrations accumulated over my four years here. I hope you all had at least some similar moments. Above and beyond these moments, this there is of course what we learn through our athletic experiences. Here, these things start to sound like clichés. We’ve all worked hard. We’ve all learned to balance things. We’ve all learned to be disciplined and mentally tough. This list goes on.

I think for me, one of best things about college athletics was that it took me out of my comfort zone. Sometimes the undergraduate academic experience can be very private and very sheltered, at least as far as performance goes. The athletic experience, on the other hand, is very public, with your mistakes made in plain view of your teammates, coaches and spectators. There are so many variables at play, and there’s is no partial credit in athletics, at least on the scoreboard. There are no extensions if you’re not ready, no make-up tests, no re-grades, no sick notes from McCosh allowing you to write the exam the next day. And because of this, every day, athletics offers us a chance to show the world what we’re made of. As athletes we’re not afraid to fail. We’ve all done it. Few of us have had perfect collegiate careers. But we deal with it. There’s nowhere to hide when you make a mistake on the athletic field. And to bring out one last cliché, we know that ultimately it’s not about how many times you fall, but about learning from you mistakes and making sure you get up again each time. One of the things I often heard from alumni before I came to Princeton was that a Princeton education would be what you made of it. I think the same goes true of a Princeton athletic education. Each and every one of you, through your daily actions over your careers here, have learned the lessons of Princeton athletics far better than I can say them from up here. Only you and perhaps your teammates know what you put in. Only each of you know what you have found within yourselves when times have not been easy. I only hope that you have few regrets from your time as a Princeton athlete, and that when you look back on it, you can easily agree with me that it was well worth it. Thank you.

Melissa Whitley ’08 A PVC Banquet Testimonial

What do I have in common with you? You 2008 varsity athletes? Yes, we all have sweated in jerseys that say Princeton. We all love our respective sports and being ridiculously competitive. We all love Gatorade, winning, team parties…the Eye of the Tiger Rocky theme song... and TEXT MESSAGING. We all LOVE texting. We do it obsessively all day long, until our thumbs are as black and blue as some of the athletic injuries we’ve gone through. I wouldn’t be surprised if a handful of you are texting right now…with your sexy new IPhones conspicuously under the table. Text messaging. One thing you may or may not have in common with me, other than the fact that my name is Melissa Shea Whitley and I played varsity soccer, is that I save pretty clutch text messages. I don’t know about your cell phone, but my phone only holds 50 texts in my inbox, which poses a huge problem. I have to pick and choose which texts to keep, which is kind of like choosing the songs on a mix CD. To be honest, most of the text messages I have saved are romantic, but a few of the ones I have saved in this very cellular device are related to my Princeton soccer career, the things about it that I cherish and the things that I will miss, which I imagine are some of the same things you cherish and will miss about your own athletic career. September 17, 2006 10:00 am Good luck today! Do something special for the team. My papa sent this text the day we played William and Mary two seasons ago. We lost 2-0, but this text message is one of the positive things that I took away from the day. The oldest message in my inbox —nearly two years old. Intriguingly, to do something special as an athlete doesn’t just mean being amazing 100% of the time—scoring the winning goal, touchdown, run. I think being special means being a loser a lot of the time. It is special, for example, to watch the tape of a recent game with your team and be open to constructive criticism from your coaches. Watching the image of my bony and rather awkward body getting schooled by a forward who goes on to scores a goal is a pretty special experience. It is special to watch such an image over and over until it’s clear that I understand what I could have done better. Yet I think we all know, by now, all the ins and outs of being special as players. In my time here, I also found that there are plenty of ways to do something special for the team as a teammate. My dad sent me another text message

that exemplifies this point. He sent this one a bunch of times to encourage me during my final season this past fall: October 11, 2007 8:07 pm You are an All-American in my book. In soccer, In academics, and life. Love, dad. I really love this text message, even though it’s obviously a bit corny (some of the best things are by the way!) I love it, because it brings the concept of being an All-American to the personal level. I think we are all special in figuring out how to be our best selves at this school AND on our respective teams…figuring out how to bring our own unique gifts, talents, and personalities to a team environment. I remember how I had some difficulty assimilating to my collegiate team’s identity at first. The team, for example, wore all Nike, and I wanted to wear Diadora. We were all given the same running shoes; for the first team run, I showed up in Converse All-Stars. These scruffy gray high tops. Multi-purpose obviously. Of course, my coach made me change shoes for the run, but she loves when I wear them—as nonathletic shoes. I gradually realized and appreciated that these exterior things were symbols of our unity, that the team’s identity, in some respects, comes before my own. One of my last experiences with the team was going to the memorial service for the assistant men’s coach’s son. We all wore our Princeton soccer travel t-shirt, which was very powerful. 20-something girls visibly showing their support. The men’s soccer team wore bright orange jerseys with the little boy’s name across the back – VAUGHN- in all CAPS. In the day-to-day team experience, this translates to 20-something people visibly working towards the same goal, everyone with a particular shirt or jersey committed to the same effort. It reminded me of when the team drove down to Maryland for my own brother’s funeral service even though they had never even met him. I came to realize that the support and “specialness” of a collegiate Princeton team is not merely on the field. I also believe that this specialness will not end after our graduation. What’s more is that your Princeton team and my Princeton team does not simply include players and coaches. I remember how my mom and dad were “special,” “All-Americans” even, by driving up from Maryland three hours to watch the team play a night game my freshman year in

which I did not see an ounce of playing time. They drove all the way back home that same night to face only a few hours of sleep before going to work in the morning. After my final game our team’s athletic trainer, Cheri, also conveyed her special “AllAmerican” team support by sending the following text message to the seniors on my team: November 3, 2008 10:21pm U guys r still my heroes. U have helped the program get back on track. We didn’t win the league this year, as we aimed to. We didn’t get into the NCAA tournament. Yet Cheri helped us realize the positives, one of our primary accomplishments in four arduous yet unquestionably amazing years of varsity athletics. She made me think about how my team’s senior class had helped the program get back on track, and I realize that it was through our dedication and our competitiveness. In practice, seemingly every week, our head coach would ask us all, “How do you want your teammates to remember you after you graduate?” I want my teammates to believe and remember that I was a true competitor and that I took pride in defending for them. She sent me a text one night after the end of the season. I was lost with some friends in the New York City subway system, and the little beep beep and the four words that accompanied it literally stopped these Converse All-Stars in their tracks: 6:11 pm I will miss you. November 14, 2007 I look forward so much to keeping in touch with my coaches, teammates, trainers, and mentors. I aim to remember as many of those extra-special victories, my favorite drills, the silly team bonding experiences, the bus rides, the challenges and conflicts I overcame as possible, and all the true friends I have made through athletics here.

PVC Remarks from Gary Walters ’67

PVC Senior Student-Athlete Banquet Remarks from Director of Athletics Gary Walters ’67 Our banquet is always held on this Thursday, the first night of Reunions. As you walk around the campus later tonight and the rest of the weekend, you’ll see literally hundreds of Princeton athletic alumni. They, too, once sat where you do, looking at a world where most of them had reached their competitive athletic mortality. As the NCAA commercial quite cleverly says, almost all student-athletes will go pro in something other than sports. At the same time, I hope that none of you have taken for granted the great gift it has been to be able to compete in your favorite sport through the end of your collegiate career and to do so at such a high level athletically and academically. This opportunity, one afforded to so few who graduated high school in 2004, has opened the door for you to a lifetime of friendships, memories and lessons learned about yourself and the value of teamwork. It is my sincerest hope that you will cherish these experiences and that they have helped shape the people that you will be for the rest of your lives. Collectively, you have left quite an athletic legacy at Princeton University. Princeton teams won 38 Ivy League championships in your four years, a figure nearly 27% greater than the next highest total in the league during your time and more than three times as many as the league championship totals of no fewer than five of your competitors, including the schools located in New Haven and Philadelphia. During your time here, Princeton teams won one-quarter of all Ivy League championships awarded. The success of your class has helped run Princeton’s all-time Ivy League championship total to 359, also one-quarter of all of the league championships ever won. Princeton won the Ivy League’s unofficial allsports points championship each of the your four years as well, running Princeton’s active streak to 22 consecutive years. The women’s squash team won the Howe Cup, giving Princeton at least one team or individual national champion for each of the last 22 years as well. Of the 33 teams that compete in Ivy League sports, no fewer than 23 won at least one Ivy League championship in your four years and an amazing 29 of 33 finished first or second at least once. Of the 38 varsity teams at Princeton, 28 competed in the national championships for their sport.

Your class also combined for 19 All-America selections and 85 All-Ivy League selections. The Class of 2008 has contributed to such historic accomplishments among fall teams such as the first NCAA Final Four appearance by an Ivy League school in women’s soccer, a Final Four appearance in men’s water polo, the first 14-0 Ivy League season in women’s volleyball, high drama in the NCAA tournament by the field hockey team, national prominence in cross country and the first Ivy League championship in more than a decade in football. Just this past fall, Glenn Nelson won his 562nd match as head coach of women’s volleyball at Princeton and, in doing so, set a record for most wins by any coach in any sport in Princeton athletic history. The winter season saw exceptional performances by Princeton teams, including multiple Ivy League championships in both men’s and women’s swimming and diving and men’s squash, the first NCAA tournament appearance for the women’s hockey program, a women’s basketball Ivy championship, two national championships in women’s squash and the first ECAC men’s hockey championship in 10 years.

Princeton’s Class of 2008 has been a part of many great moments in the spring as seven Princeton spring teams won at least one Ivy League title during the past four seasons and the women’s first varsity 8 open crew won an NCAA championship in 2006. Also, women’s lacrosse coach Chris Sailer was just recently inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame. Her induction will make Princeton the only school in Division I to have both of its lacrosse coaches in the Hall of Fame, as Chris will join men’s lacrosse coach Bill Tierney. Perhaps you’ve noticed the trophies that are on display here tonight, representing the nine Ivy League championships Princeton teams won this year. Add it up, and the Class of 2008 can now take its rightful place in the outstanding tradition of success that is Princeton Athletics.
