Men’s Crew History ITHACA COLEGE
T he
Ithaca College men’s rowing team was formed during the administration
of President Howard Dillingham in the fall of 1968. The
first competition was on April 19, 1969, when the Bombers rowed
against Buffalo, Buffalo State and Canisius. Two weeks later coach Gary
Kilpatrick and team captain and stroke Tim McNell guided the Bombers
to a victory over Manhattan, Canisius and Buffalo in the Metropolitan
Championship in New York City.
Brief coaching stints by Kilpatrick and Bill Cromwall were followed by
the successful tenure of Bob Tallman. From 1972-79 he built the Bombers
from a fledgling program into a small-college powerhouse.
In the mid-1970s, Ithaca’s crews established themselves as medal
winners at the annual Dad Vail Regatta in Philadelphia, recognized as
the small-college national championship. In 1975 Ithaca’s heavyweights
went 12-0 and finished third at the Dad Vail (behind Massachusetts and
the Coast Guard). Two years later, led by Stew Leonard and Dave Pustell,
the Bombers repeated the bronze-medal performance.
Ward Romer joined the coaching staff in 1973 as an assistant and has
remained a fixture with the Bomber crew since. He became Ithaca’s fourth
head coach after Tallman’s retirement in 1979. Romer’s arrival coincided
with Ithaca’s entrance into lightweight rowing. The Bombers’ lightweights
finished in the top 10 at the Dad Vails in each of their first 11 years.
Dan Robinson, a 1979 Ithaca graduate, has been a consistent contributor
to Bomber rowing. The current men’s head coach, Robinson helped

engineer the program’s move from the Dad Vail Regatta, where the Bombers
accumulated four varsity and 14 additional medals, to the CICR in 1993
(renamed the Avaya Regatta in 2001 and now permanently renamed the
ECAC National Invitational Rowing Championship).
Recent highlights for the program have included five straight varsity
8 wins at the Atlantic League sprints, top-10 finishes at the 2001, 2002
and 2003 ECAC National Invitational Rowing Championships (an event
that features Division I, II and III schools) and 12 of the last 16 point titles
(encompassing results from men’s and women’s races) at the New York
State championships. The 2003 varsity 8 boat posted a record of 14-2 —
the program’s best ever — and the 2004 varsity 8 lost just once after the
season’s opening weekend. Last spring Ithaca won four medals at the state
meet (including the second varsity 8’s gold medal) and the third varsity 8
won the program’s first medal ever at the ECAC Championships.

Women’s Crew History
A
ITHACA COLLEGE
women’s varsity program was initiated at Ithaca in spring 1975.
Competing under club status, the Bombers captured the 1976 Dad Vail
varsity 8 title the first year women’s races were offered at the regatta.
Jerry Dietz, a member of the bronze medal-winning men’s heavyweight 8
as an undergraduate, guided Ithaca to the crown in his first year as women’s
coach. Although women’s rowing grew nationally over the next few years,
Ithaca claimed the Dad Vail championship again in 1979, coached by Julie
Rife, the stroke of the 1976 crew. Peg Mallery, who rowed in Ithaca’s top
crew in 1981 and 1982 before transferring, competed for the U.S. national
team in the inaugural 1986 Goodwill Games and in the 1988 Olympic
Games in Seoul, South Korea.
In 1983 women’s crew became a varsity sport at Ithaca College. After
several inconsistent years, coach Jocelyn Kearing guided Ithaca’s women’s
varsity to the first two of what is now 18 consecutive winning seasons.
Included in that run are four New York State small-school titles. The state
championship first raced in 1990 and now includes nearly 30 colleges
and universities. A key performer in the emerging women’s program was
Becky Metz Robinson. After two letter winning seasons with the Bombers,
Robinson made the national team in 1991. A year later she was a finalday
cut from the 1992 U.S. Olympic team. She returned to help coach the
Bombers and in 1995 became the first crew program representative to be
inducted into the Ithaca College Athletic Hall of Fame.
The first NCAA-sponsored championship regatta for women was held
in 1997. A women’s four from Ithaca qualified for the all-division event
and placed fourth in the petite final and 10th overall. Mary Obidinski ’97,
a member of that crew who was inducted into Ithaca’s Hall of Fame last

year, competed with the U.S. national team. In 2001 she won the women’s
lightweight double at Princeton’s World Cup event. The Bombers made their
second straight trip to the NCAA championships in 1998. They returned to
nationals in 2001 and were the second-highest finishing Division II or III
team at the 2001 championships.
The College Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) picked its first all-
America teams in 2000 and at least one Bomber athletes has been honored
every year since then, starting with Beth Greene and Liz Jackstadt. In 2002
the NCAA sponsored the first national championship event exclusively for
Division III institutions. Ithaca took fourth that year and moved up to third
the following year. Jackstadt, one of three all-Americans in the class of
2002, received the school’s Iris Carnell Award as the top female athlete in
the senior class. In 2004 the program achieved its greatest success, winning
the NCAA title. Ithaca’s varsity 8 boat won the gold medal at the grand final
and the second varsity 8 boat achieved unprecedented success at nationals:
the boat became the first second varsity 8 to qualify for the grand final.
The Bombers’ combined score was the lowest ever recorded at the NCAA
Division III Championships.
A year later the Bombers became the first program to repeat as Division
III women’s crew national champions. The only school to compete in every
NCAA Division III national championship event, Ithaca placed second
in the grand final and third in the petite final. The Bombers’ three all-
Americans included first-team choice Meghan Musnicki.
In 2006, Ithaca’s second varsity 8 gold medal in three years led the
Bombers to second place in the team standings. Stephanie Knabe, who
rowed at nationals all four years, was a first-team all-American.

ITHACA COLLEGE2009 Outlook
MEN’S CREW
Astrong fall season with unprecedented achievement and an experienced
roster should be positive signs to a successful spring for the Bombers.
Ithaca returns 18 members of their top three boats (including the third
varsity 8 that took home the heavyweight program’s first medal ever at the
ECAC Championships).
The fall season featured a gold-medal performance at the Head of the
Genesee, marking Ithaca’s first win in 19 years at that event (formerly
called the Bausch & Lomb and the Stonehurst Regatta). Highlights of the
fall season also included gold medals by the varsity 8, second varsity 8 and
novice 8 at the Braxton Regatta and a ninth-place finish (out of 38 crews)
at the Head of the Charles.
Commodores Pete Orlando and Tom Poole head a strong senior class
that also includes Colin Clarry, Eriberto Rosales, Mike Warner, Clint
Weigl and Hank Zimmerman. Juniors Nick Alvarez, Jon Covney, Dan
Curtis, Brian Erickson, Chris Lisee, Kayleigh McElroy, Carlos Rosales,
Eriberto Rosales and Neil Shapiro and sophomores Joe Bagliere,
Shane Bucher, Morgan Ewing and Jon Thompson are all back from
Ithaca’s varsity and second varsity 8s as well.
Last year’s freshmen-novice 8 won a bronze medal at the state championships
and took third in the petite final at the ECAC event.
A challenging schedule includes opening with Hobart, Marist and the
Cornell lightweights. The Bombers will also face Division I competition
in Bucknell and Holy Cross as well as Division III rivals Bates, Coast
Guard, Colby, Connecticut College, Hamilton, Rochester, RIT, Skidmore,
St. Lawrence and Tufts and Williams before the New York State regatta
in early May. Ithaca’s ultimate goal is an invitation to the ECAC Championships
and the opportunity to compete for an ECAC National Invitation
title.

WOMEN’S CREW
ITHACA COLLEGE
Hopes are high that 2009 will see the Bombers maintain the program’s
unparalleled success—Ithaca is the only program to compete in all
seven NCAA championship regattas and won team titles in 2004 and
2005 and the varsity 8 gold medal in 2006.
The fall season saw the Bombers maintain their success among New
York State small schools. The varsity 8 won gold and the novice boat took
second at William Smith’s Challenge on the Canal. At the Head of the
Genesee (formerly the Stonehurst Regatta), the varsity 8 placed first for the
third time in eight years. A week later Ithaca took sixth (out of 34 crews)
at the Head of the Charles.
A strong senior class includes commodores Katie O’Driscoll and Alden
Hall as well as Anthea Barnett, Alexandra Chesney, Maggie Fisk, Diana
Glicini, Liz June, Kelsey Schaeffer and Sarah Veninsky. Schaeffer — a
two-time all-American — and O’Driscoll both return to the varsity 8, along
with sophomores Amy Gefell and Lauren LaPointe. Hall and Glicini
are two of seven Bombers returning from the second varsity 8, along with
juniors Ailyah Emas, Erica Gordon, Kathryn Irwin, Stephanie Levesque
and Julie Potter.
Hopes are high for the novice crews, now under the direction of 2000
graduate Beth Greene, who has returned to the coaching staff.
Ithaca’s schedule includes five NCAA participants from a year ago:
Bates, Coast Guard, St. Lawrence, William Smith and defending champ
Williams. Division I schools on the slate include Cornell, Holy Cross and
Marist. The Bombers’ first three races are all at home.
