ITHACA BOMBERS GYMNASTICS One of Ithaca’s most successful intercollegiate athletic programs, the gymnastics team has achieved great results at the state, regional and national levels. In 37 seasons, the Bombers have won three state titles, 12 ECAC crowns and—in the program’s most successful season— the 1998 National Collegiate Gymnastics Association (NCGA) championship. Success started early for Ithaca and inaugural coach Harriet (Carnes) Marranca. In their second varsity season, the Bombers went 6-3 and recorded a third-place showing at the 1969 Division II Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) championship. A year later Ithaca won the program’s first state title. The 1971 team, which finished as state runner-up, posted wins over Penn State and Pitt. The Bombers recorded winning records in eight of the next 10 seasons behind top performers like Eleanor “Winky” Ward and Linda Johnson. Ward set school records in the vault and uneven bars and won a state title in the vault. Johnson held the school record in the all-around for four years. The 1981 team won the program’s second state championship behind individual title-winning performances by Sue Bourne (uneven bars) and Chris Ficken (balance beam). A year later, in Marranca’s last season as head coach, Ithaca placed fifth at the AIAW Eastern Regionals. Marranca, who compiled a 68-47 dual-meet record, became the first representative of the women’s gymnastics program inducted into Ithaca’s Athletic Hall of Fame when she was enshrined in 1999. Sarah Jane Clifford and Jamie Winkler, who competed during that era, are among the many Bombers who’ve gone on to successful gymnastics careers; both own gyms and have been active in club gymnastics. In her three seasons as head coach, Jackie DeSalvo led the Bombers to a third-place finish at the regional championship in 1983, a regional title a year later and the program’s first two Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) championships, in 1984 and 1985, starting a streak of four straight ECAC crowns. The 1984 team placed eighth at the NCAA Division II-III championship meet (the Bombers were the only Division III team competing) after posting a school-record eight wins. Sandy Picioccio set school records in the vault and all-around that year. Another Bomber first was attained in 1985, when Ithaca native Lisa Gould (whose career ended after two years) won the individual title on the uneven bars at the NCAA Division II-III championships; not only was she the program’s first individual national champion, she was the first athlete from any Division III school to win an NCAA title at the combined Division II-III meet. The program’s best years have come under current coach Rick Suddaby. During his 24 seasons Ithaca qualified for the NCGA championships 22 of the 23 years the meet has existed, and won 11 ECAC titles while finishing third or better at the ECAC meet every year.
