2 Women’s Swimming & Diving 2008-09 

women’s Swimming & 

One of Ithaca’s most successful intercollegiate athletic programs, the 

women’s swimming and diving team has achieved great results at 

the state, regional and national levels. In 40 seasons the Bombers 

own a 277-81-2 record (a .772 winning percentage) and have had a .500 

record or better in 39 of the program’s 40 seasons. 

The Bombers won all of the league championships during the 11-year 

existences of the Empire 8’s predecessors, the Independent College Athletic 

Conference (ICAC) and the Empire Athletic Association (EAA). Ithaca has 

also won 19 state titles and has finished in the top 10 at 14 of the last 24 

NCAA Division III championships. 

Success started immediately for the Bombers and inaugural coach 

Peggy Anderson as the team posted an 8-0 mark and won the New York 

State Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (NYSAIAA) 

title in 1968-69. The winning continued through the early 1970s with four 

consecutive state championships under coach Deborah Wuest. 

Ithaca College Athletic Hall of Fame member Bill Ware spent one year 

as women’s coach in 1980-81 and coached Ithaca’s first All-American, 

Cindy Weibtraub, who earned the honor in the 50-yard freestyle event 

at the 1980 Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) 

championship. 

Jim Perkins took over as coach in 1981 and after one season led Ithaca 

to a top-10 national finish. Perkins coached Ithaca’s first women’s swimming 

national champion, Catherine Lyons, who won the 50-yard freestyle 

at the 1983 NCAA championship. Lyons earned five all-American honors 

that season, while teammate Dorsi Raynolds earned four. In 1992 Lyons 

became the first swimmer inducted into the Ithaca College Athletic Hall of 

Fame. Raynolds was inducted in 1996. 

The Bombers’ best years have come under current coach Paula Miller. 

During her 24 seasons the Bombers have finished in the top 10 at the 

NCAA Division III championship 12 times and have twice placed fourth 

in the meet. 

The program’s best season came in 1986-87 when Ithaca finished fourth

at the NCAA championship. Eight Bombers earned All-American honors. 

Nancy Stapp, a member of the Athletic Hall of Fame, earned six All- 

American honors that season and 25 in her career. Miller received Division 

III coach of the year honors. 

Ithaca finished fourth again in 1988-89 as sophomore Amy Robinson 

set the Division III record while winning the individual national title in the 

100-yard backstroke at the NCAA championship. Robinson, an 18-time 

All-American, was inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame in 1997. 

During the early 1990s Maria Ampula and Dawn Schmalzriedt were 

Ithaca’s top swimmers. Ampula earned a school-record 28 All-American 

honors and Schmalzriedt received All-American recognition 25 times. 

Their teammate, Julie Smith, set the school’s 200-yard backstroke mark 

and earned 21 All-American honors. All three have been inducted into 

Ithaca College’s Athletic Hall of Fame. 

Ithaca has won eight state titles in the past 11 seasons. The Bombers 

finished eighth at nationals in 1998 and seventh in 1989. Renee Helbok, a 

25-time all-American, won the 500-yard freestyle at the 1999 NCAAs, and 

Miller earned her second Division III coach of the year award. 

Ithaca has won 149 of its last 187 dual meets and has finished first or 

second at 25 of the past 29 state meets. The Bombers have also won the 

Empire 8 crown for the past nine years. Megan Hughes, a 15-time All- 

American, recorded nine individual top-10 finishes at nationals during 

her four-year career. Ithaca placed 20th at the NCAAs in 2008, with four 

swimmers earning a total of 18 All-American honors.
