A Message From Ford Family Director of Athletics Gary Walters ’67 During the 2011-12 academic year, Princeton teams combined to win 10 Ivy League championships. We extended our streak of winning the league’s unoffi cial all-sports points championship to 26 straight years and our streak of having at least one team or individual national champion to 41 straight years. Princeton fi nished 39th in the Learfi eld Sports Directors’ Cup, making us the only FCS school in the Top 50 and the highest fi nishing Ivy school for the 16th time in the 19 years the Cup has been awarded. This summer, Princetonians captured seven medals at the London Olympics. Undoubtedly, all of these accomplishments contributed greatly to our unmatched tradition of athletic success, but more importantly, our offi cial motto of "Education Through Athletics" continued to guide our daily efforts on and off the fi elds of play. The student-athletes, coaches, alumni and academicathletic fellows whom you will read about in this publication exemplify the well-rounded University citizens who are all ambassadors of our approach to intercollegiate athletics. On behalf of all of the individuals associated with the Tiger Athletics family, I encourage you to read more about what distinguishes Princeton Athletics and how "Education Through Athletics" is shaping, and has shaped, so many great men and women who represent Princeton University. Sincerely, Gary Walters ’67 Ford Family Director of Athletics Through Athletics” means an extension of learning outside of the classroom to the court, fi eld, track, etc. Student-athletes at Princeton can learn invaluable life lessons in each and every practice, game or competition throughout their four years here. Personally, I’ve learned how to communicate better, manage my time effectively, work with a team, fi ght through tough situations - the list goes on and on. While I have had many memorable moments within my team, I fi nd that my favorite memories and experiences as part of the Princeton Athletics community have happened while cheering on my fellow student-athletes. The best to date was defi nitely the Princeton men’s basketball game against Harvard at home last year. The stands were packed and the energy in the gym was electric. My teammates and I were jumping and screaming for the entire second half, and were quick to jump into the wave of students who rushed the court at the buzzer. It was an unforgettable moment. The mission of the Princeton Varsity Club is to implement and support programs that perpetuate and enhance the Performance, Values and Community of Princeton Athletics and the University, and thereby contribute to “Education Through Athletics” at Princeton.

Tiana Woolridge ’15 Women’s Volleyball Athletics Friends Groups & Princeton Varsity Club GoprincetonTigers.com/giving Tiana Woolridge ’15 (Right) with teammate Sarah Hanna ’15. Woolridge is a Molecular Biology major and plans on getting a certifi cate in Neuroscience. She is also a Project Coordinator for Princeton’s chapter of the American Red Cross, a member of the Foundation for International Medical Relief of Children, and of the Student Health Advisory Board. She was recently named a member of the Varsity Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. My oldest brother, Zach Woolridge, graduated from Princeton in 2008. When I came to the school during the last weekend in April of my senior year, I was convinced within a day that Princeton was the place I wanted to be. The students were so driven and passionate across so many fi elds. And the opportunity to be a part of a strong Division I athletics program while studying at one of the best universities in the nation? I couldn’t have wished for a better undergraduate experience. The fact that Princeton students are competing and winning on a national and international scale (including the Olympics) is absolutely incredible. The high level of competition in a place that is known for being one of the most academically challenging schools in the nation is incredibly special. To me, “Education The Athletics Friends Groups support a wide range of needs and opportunities within each of the 38 varsity athletics teams. Currently, there are 18 AFGs, as they are co-ed groups. The mission of AFGs is to secure philanthropic and volunteer support that enables coaches to recruit, retain and develop some of the fi nest scholar-athletes in the world, and to provide our student-athletes with the best possible overall experience. We encourage all Princeton alumni letterwinners/participants, parents of student-athletes, parents of alumni, and friends of Princeton Athletics to become involved in Athletics Friends Groups. The following are some of the items that the Athletics Friends Groups support: Travel: out-of-region competition, training trips, out-of-season competition Recruiting: transportation, lodging, hosting Equipment Technology: specialized software, video and editing equipment, cell phones Team support: out-of-term meals, photography, medical support Team banquets, awards, mentoring sessions Player and parent functions Professional books, memberships, conventions and clinics Events for alumni and friends such as fundraising dinners, alumni days, on-the-road gatherings, networking events Friends Group communications Thank you in advance for your support and for investing in the future of Princeton Athletics!
