ITHACA COLLEGE 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.
