ming League champion through his four years. He was the top scorer at the annual EISL Championships two times and accepted the Ulen Award in 2006 as the career scoring leader at that event.

He took fourth in the 100- and 200-yard backstrokes at the 2006 NCAA Champion-ships, leading Harvard to a 20th-place finish in the team standings. McDavi� was a four-time All-Ivy League selection in field hockey, including a first team pick in each of the last two seasons. She helped Harvard to two NCAA tournament appear-ances and was chosen as a third team All-America selection in 2004, as she led the Crimson to the Ivy League championship. She finished her senior year as the program’s career leader in assists (23) and fi�h in career points (63). William Broadbent (Greenwich, CT) of the

men’s squash team accepted the John P. Reardon Award in rec-ognition of scholarship, character, leadership and athletic ability. Broadbent was a four-time first team All-America for the Crimson, which has won three straight Ivy League titles. He reached the national championship match of the 2004 College Squash Associa-

All-America swimmer David Cromwell (Missoula, MT) and All-America field hockey player Jen McDavi� (Walpole, MA) were hon-ored as Harvard’s top senior athletes at the annual Har-vard Varsity Club Senior Le�erwinners Dinner held June 7th in the Murr Center Tennis Courts. Cromwell was present-ed with the William J. Bing-ham Award as the top male athlete, while McDavi� ac-cepted the Radcliffe Prize as the top female athlete. Eight awards were presented at the annual dinner held the night before the university’s Commencement exercises in Harvard Yard. In front of a crowd of more than 600 student-athletes, coaches, parents and supporters of Harvard Athletics each award winner got the chance to thank those who have helped them along the way. Cromwell established himself as one of the top swimmers in the storied history of the sport at Harvard. He was a seven-time All-America selection and a 17-time Eastern Intercollegiate Swim-

Senior Adam Kosmicki (Marblehead, MA) threw his hands up in the air and rejoiced a�er helping his varsity eight beat Yale in the season finale. For Kosmicki and his fellow boat members there is no be�er way to go out than on top. The Crimson did just that, recording open-water victories in both the varsity and second varsity races at the 141st Harvard-Yale Rega�a. The 2006 Harvard-Yale Rega�a will be a memorable one for both competitors and spectators. Extremely windy conditions forced the postponement of the varsity and JV races from Sat-

urday evening to Sunday morning. The two races

were first delayed for two hours a�er the freshman race went off, but the water conditions continued to worsen. Coaches and of-ficials deemed the conditions too dangerous and for the first time since 1963, head coach Harry Parker’s first year at the helm of the Crimson, the Race was postponed. But Saturday was not lost as the freshmen did compete. In the second closest finish since the two crews tied in 1902, Yale finished ahead of Harvard by 0.05 seconds or approximately two feet. It was the first time in three tries that Yale be�ered the Crim-son this season. The Bulldogs started the freshman race strong, taking the early lead at the start of the two-mile race and cruised to a boat length advantage. Harvard made a move just a�er the mile mark and came even with the Bulldogs with less than a mile to go. The

two crews rowed even for over 100m with one team having no more than a seat advantage. The Crimson were just one seat behind in the last 50m and pushed to the finish, but in the end the Bulldogs were able to fend off the chal-lenge, winning in 11:05.0, to Harvard’s 11:04.5. On Sunday morning, both crews set out on the Thames River in New London, Conn. with several different faces in the boats since the two teams met at the IRAs the previous week. For the Crimson, Kos-micki and sophomore O�o Stegmaier (Be�erdorf, IA) returned to the varsity boat, while Yale made adjustments due to an illness. At the IRAs, Yale finished

Crimson Well Represented at National Championships

COED AND WOMEN’S SAILING Harvard again asserted itself as one of the nation’s best sailing programs, placing in the top half of the field in all three of the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association spring championships, including a third-place showing among 18 teams at the ICSA/Gill Coed Dinghy National Championship. Although it missed out for the first time in six years on the Fowle Trophy as college sailing’s top team, the Crimson had another outstanding all-around performance, placing fi�h of 14 schools in the ICSA/Layline Team Race National Cham-pionship and eighth of 18 in the ICSA Women’s Dinghy National Championship. Six Harvard sailors were named All-Americans and another received honorable mention following the competitions, hosted May 24-June 2 by College of Charleston. Juniors Clay Johnson (Toms River, NJ) and Emily Simon (Oak Brook, IL) won three races, including their last of the season, to place second in the A division and lead Harvard to third place overall in the coed dinghy championship. Both sailors earned All-America honors, Johnson for the third time and Simon the second. The Crimson B division team of seniors Vincent Porter (Winnetka, IL) and Ruth Schlitz (Woods Hole, MA) earned All-America recognition for the third and second times, respectively, while sophomore skipper Kyle Kovacs (Pennington, NJ)was an honorable mention All-America. Senior Sloan Devlin (Mystic, CT) and junior Christina Dahlman (Chevy Chase, MD) placed third in the A division of the women’s championship, with Devlin taking her third All-America honor and Dahlman garnering her second. The duo did not finish outside the top five in the final nine of its 18 races at nationals, placing second three times.

BASEBALL Two-time All-Ivy League selection Lance Salsgiver (Davison, MI) was selected by the San Francisco Giants in the 37th round (1,106th overall) of the 2006 Major League Baseball Amateur Dra� June 9. Two other players for the Red Rolfe Division-winning Crim-son, senior Josh Klimkiewicz (Lexington, MA) and sophomore Steffan Wilson (State College, PA), played in the New England College Baseball All-Star Game May 28 at Fenway Park. Both played the entire game, helping their University Division team defeat the College Division, 2-1.

WOMEN’S LIGHTWEIGHT CREW Radcliffe medaled for the sixth straight year at the Intercolle-giate Rowing Association Championships, taking the bronze at this season’s national championship rega�a, June 3 in Camden, NJ. The Black and White topped rival Princeton for the third time in four tries this season with its finish in 6:54.25, but was beaten to the line by repeat champion Wisconsin (6:46.51) and Georgetown (6:50.12).

WOMEN’S FENCING Sophomore Emily Cross (New York, NY) was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America women’s at-large third team. The honor caps a hugely successful season for the biology concentrator. She placed third in the foil at the NCAA Championships, helping Harvard win the national title as a team, and won her second straight gold at the Junior World Championships.

MEN’S ICE HOCKEY In the same week that Craig Ad-ams ’99 hoisted the Stanley Cup for the Carolina Hurricanes, two incom-ing Crimson freshmen, Doug Rogers (Watertown, MA) and Alex Biega (Montreal, Quebec), got their intro-duction to professional hockey with the 2006 National Hockey League Entry Dra�. Rogers, a forward from St. Sebastian’s School, was taken by the New York Islanders in the fourth round, with the 119th overall pick. Biega was a fi�h-round pick of the Buffalo Sabres. The defenseman from Salisbury School was the 147th overall selection.

MEN’S LACROSSE A�ackman Greg Cohen (Syosset, NY) wrapped up his junior season with a selection as a United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association honorable mention All-American. A�er missing last season with a hand injury, Cohen came back to net 23 goals and hand out seven assists. He was one of four Crimson selections to the New England Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association All-New England team. Senior defenseman Tom Mikula (Annapolis, MD) and fresh-man goalie Joe Pike (Phonix, MD) were first-team selections, while Cohen and senior Tom Boylan (Bethesda, MD) were chosen for the second team.

MEN’S TENNIS The two-Texan doubles team of Ashwin Kumar (Round Rock, TX) and Sasha Ermakov (Dallas, TX) represented Harvard in the NCAA Championships. The 55th-ranked pair fell, 6-3, 7-6 (4), May 25 to No. 19 Pramod Dabir and Ryler DeHeart of Illinois in the tournament’s first round. The duo finished the season with an overall record of 10-6.

WOMEN’S TENNIS Senior Melissa Anderson (Sydney, Australia) and junior Elsa O’Riain (Cork, Ireland) became the second All-America doubles pair in Harvard history and the first since Eliza-beth Evans ’85 and Robin Boss ’87 in 1984. The duo finished the season 31-8 and ranked sev-enth in the nation. They earned the No. 5 seed in the NCAA Champion-ships, where they fell to Florida’s Whitney Benik and Alexis Gordon. An-derson, a government concentrator, graduated as the winningest player in school history with 192 combined career victo-ries and was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America women’s at-large third team. She and O’Riain were ranked in the top 10 all spring by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, reaching as high as No. 2. Ivy League Player of the Year Eva Wang (Haverford, PA) also advanced to the NCAA Championships. The Crimson senior, ranked 117th, suffered a 6-1, 6-3 defeat to No. 20. Robin Stephenson of Ala-bama in the first round. Wang went 7-0 in Ivy play at No. 1 singles in 2006, finishing her career with a 79-42 record.

WOMEN’S TRACK & FIELD Lindsey Scherf (Scarsdale, NY) has completed each of her first two seasons in a Harvard uniform with a top-10 finish in the 10,000-

meter run at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. She grabbed 10th place with a time of 34:18.80 in the 2006 meet June 7 in Sacramento, Calif., following up her fourth-place performance as a freshman. Freshman Becky Christensen (Celina, TX) placed 27th in the NCAA high jump with a leap of 1.74 meters. She also cleared 1.73 meters to place fourth at the USA Junior Nationals. Classmate Shannon Flahive (Li�leton, CO) was in eighth place in the 24-athlete field of the heptathlon, but was forced to pull out a�er one day with an injury.

WRESTLING Freshman Louis Caputo (Blue Springs, MO) won the championship in his weight class at the 2006 FILA Junior World Team Trials June 9 in Colorado Springs, CO. The win earned him the right to represent the United States in the FILA Junior World Championships Aug. 29-Sept. 3 in Guatemala. He defeated Iowa’s Chad Bea�y in the 84-kilogram/185-pound championship final. Caputo reached the final by winning the Challenge Tournament earlier in the day, going undefeated in three matches.Louis Caputo ‘09

tion tournament. The Harvard-Radcliffe Foundation for Women’s Athletics Prize went to heavyweight rower Nicole Gavel (Dracut, MA) and sailor Sloan Devlin (Mystic, CT) .The award is presented to the female who best combines academic and athletic excellence. Gavel rows in the stroke seat for Radcliffe’s varsity boat that finished fi�h at the 2006 Eastern Sprints. She was chosen as a College Row-ing Coaches Association All-New England selection and National Scholar Athlete. Devlin, meanwhile, was a Rhodes Scholarship fi-nalist in 2005 who finished her career as a three-time All-America and two-time New England individual champion. Women’s cross country and track and field standout Laura Maludzinski (Barrie, ONT) was presented with the Mary G. Paget Prize for outstanding contribution to women’s athletics. Maludz-inski was a two-time Ivy League Heptagonal champion in the out-door 1,500-meter run and was twice recognized as an Academic All-Ivy League pick. The Francis H. Burr Scholarship, which is presented to the senior who best combines qualities of leadership, scholarship and athletic ability, was given to Morgan Brown (Alstead, NH) of the baseball team. Brown, who walked on to the Crimson nine as a

freshman, was a first team All-Ivy League selection as a senior and was an ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District pick. Mike Baria (Mason, OH) of the wrestling team was presented with the Francis J. Toland Community Service Award, which is named for the Crimson’s long-time associate athletics director who retired six years ago. Baria served as one of Harvard’s three captains in 2005-06 and coordinated the team’s weekly volunteer efforts

at the St. Paul’s Church food pantry and the squad’s mentoring efforts at St. Anthony’s School.

The John P. Fadden Award, given to a senior student-athlete (either intercollegiate or intramural) who has overcome physical adversity to make a contribution to his or her team, went to Kevin Duffy (Chatham, NJ) of the men’s track and field team. Duffy returned to the Crimson lineup to become an NCAA regional qualifier in the javelin throw this season. The evening honored not only the senior award winners but the entire class of 2006 major H student-athletes. During their time in a Crimson uniform 23 athletes from the class of 2006 have achieved All-America status, while 68 have been recognized for their academic achievements. Two seniors in particular, Will Johnson (Tustin, CA) from the football team and Ma� Stehle (Newton, MA) of the men’s basketball team, have been named na-tional Academic All-America selections, demonstrating the high-est commitment to academic and athletic success in their sports. The class has found the time to distinguish themselves not only on the playing field, but in the local community as well. There have been countless youth days, mentoring and tutoring sessions, and contributions to neighborhood initiatives. It has certainly been an impressive four years for this class. Each student-athlete has now become a part of the storied tradi-tion of Harvard athletics.

second behind the Crimson in the second varsity race and in the varsity race was only one second behind Harvard. Sunday morning’s races were definitely going to be something to watch. Yale stormed out of the start in the varsity race, taking a seven-seat lead by the half-mile marker. Harvard countered with a strong push through the next half mile and pulled to within a seat. The two crews raced bow ball to bow ball for the next 100m or so before Harvard continued their push and created a lead they would not relinquish. By the two-mile mark, the Crimson held open water over their long-time rival and increased their lead throughout the race to at least two lengths. Yale made a push at the end, but could not catch Harvard, who finished the four-mile course in 23:22.6. Yale crossed the line in 23:30.4. “It was an awesome performance,” Parker said. “It was an unbelievably challenging race due to the conditions, but our guys were able to prevail. The race was a terrific ba�le by both crews under what I would consider the most challenging conditions. And I would say the same went for the JVs.” Much like in the varsity race, Yale pulled out in front early, but the Crimson fought the Bulldogs off and their lead contin-ued to grow as they raced down the three-mile course. Harvard maintained open water throughout the last mile and a half and opened up to a two length lead before the finish line. The Crimson completed the three-mile course in 16:22, while the Elis finished in 16:30. It was the ninth win in 10 years for the junior varsity. The crew capped off an undefeated campaign including a perfect 5-0 dual race record. The Crimson also won gold at the Sprints and IRAs and will compete at the Henley Rega�a in late June/early July. Just a week before the Race, the Crimson competed at the 2006 IRA Championships in Camden, N.J. The varsity eight, who reigned atop the IRA podium for the last three years, fell short of the medal stand, taking fourth in a very competitive Grand Final. The second varsity brought home a gold medal in the their Grand Final (5:44.11), beating out Yale (5:47.79) and Wisconsin (5:52.21). The freshman placed fi�h in the Grand Final. As a team the heavyweights finished second in the Ten Ecyk Cup race. California, winners of the varsity eight Grand Final, edged Harvard by one point in the standings.

The four without cox won the gold in the Grand Final as well, beating out Wisconsin and Georgia Tech. The Crimson clocked in at 6:23.35, besting the Badgers by 2.6 seconds. Members of the lightweight crew roster — Alex Phillips (Arlington, VA), Dan Reid (Brockville, ONT), Dan Ke�ler (Whitefishbay, WI) and Ma� Kilbridge (Buffalo, NY)— made it the Crimson boat. Speaking of lightweights, the Harvard lightweights took a silver medal in the varsity eight at the IRA Championships to conclude the 2006 season. Just 0.08 seconds and inches separated the Crimson from winner Big Red. The two were neck and neck the entire race, but a difference in stroke cycles proved to be the difference in the race as the Cornell inched ahead of the Crimson at the finish. Cornell finished in 5:42.71, while Harvard was clocked in at 5:42.79. “It was a wonderful race out there today,” said Head Coach Charley Bu�. “It was our best effort and there is no be�er way to close out the season than with an effort like that. We are disap-pointed that we did not get the win, but I am extremely proud of the effort that went into the race.”

CRIMSON COMMENTARYby Michele McLaughlinAssistant Director of the Harvard Varsity Club

t the June 8th graduation ceremony Chet Stone was honored with the Harvard Medal. As many of you know, Chet ran the equipment room in Dillon Field House for more than 30 years in a manner that was outgoing,

helpful, and vital to the athletic experience at Harvard. He started the annual Chet Stone Dillon Open Golf Tournament to raise money for Children’s Hospital Boston and St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Brighton, MA. The tournament, held this past May, has become a Harvard tradition. Since his retirement in 2005, Stone has continued to support and advance the goals of Harvard Athletics. He is working with the Athletic Department to supply tickets to area youth groups for Harvard sport-ing events, as well as arranging the use of University athletic facilities for the city of Boston and Allston-Brighton communi-ties. He was an inaugural recipient of the “33” Touchdown Club Award for distinguishing himself both on and off the football field and for his consistent support of Harvard’s athletes and the University’s athletic programs. He also won the Harvard Varsity Club Award in 2000. Outside of Stone’s successful career at Harvard, he is also a member of the Boston Park League Hall of Fame a�er spending 15 years in its baseball league and another ten playing football. He was MVP of both in 1967. He is currently lending his considerable experience to a company that is developing the Weymouth Naval Air Station. The principal objective of the awarding of the Harvard Medal is to recognize extraordinary service to Harvard University. Extraordinary service can come in as many different areas of Uni-versity life as can be imagined.

***** Former Crimson hockey captain Peter Chiarelli ‘87 was named general manager of the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League in mid-May. Chiarelli served as captain in his senior season of 1986-87 when Harvard posted a 28-6 record and advanced to the national semifinals, where the Crimson lost to North Dakota, 5-2. In Chiarelli’s junior season of 1985-86, Harvard went 25-8-1 under Head Coach Billy Cleary ‘56 and advanced to the national championship game but lost 6-5 to Michigan State. “I know from my college days the passion that the fans in this area have for hockey and the Bruins and I share that excitement,” Chiarelli said in a release. “The Bruins have an exciting core of tal-ent to build around and I am looking forward to ge�ing started on that process as soon as possible.” In late June, Chiarelli hired former All-American defenseman and 16-year NHL veteran Donald Sweeney ‘88 as Bruins’ Director of Player Development.

***** Three members of Radcliffe heavyweight crew were named to the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) list of Na-tional Scholar Athletes. Senior captain Nicky Gavel, junior Katie Golden and senior Laura Martin were among the 135 student-ath-letes awarded for their athletic and academic success. Gavel, a psychology major, is a member of the first varsity boat and sits at the stroke position. Golden, who has sat in the sixth and seventh seats this spring, is a biology major, and Martin, a sociology major, has seen action in the third and fourth seats. The award recognizes student-athletes with a 3.5 cumula-tive GPA or higher that competed in 75 percent of her team’s 2006 spring races. A total of 135 student-athletes from 50 schools were honored for their efforts. All three were members of the varsity eight that finished fi�h at Sprints, besting their sixth-place seed. Gavel and Martin were named to the CRCA All-Region team for New England. Gavel earned first-team honors, while Martin was a second-team honoree.

***** Ten Harvard student-athletes have earned Academic All-Ivy League distinction as the league announced the names of 80 play-ers on spring rosters who joined the elite list of achievers at the highest levels of athletic and academic competition. Ten student-athletes were chosen from each of the eight Ivy League institutions. To be considered, a student-athlete must be either a starter or key reserve on an officially recognized varsity team and have a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.0. Five men and five women were selected from each institution.

The Crimson women’s tennis team accounted for two of the 10 honorees as senior Eva Wang - the 2006 Ivy League player of the year - was chosen along with classmate Melissa Anderson. Two-time New England champion sailor Sloan Devlin - a Rhodes Scholar finalist in 2005 - was named to the squad, as was all-conference water polo standout Arin Keyser and all-region heavyweight rower Nicky Gavel. The five men honored included two rowers as senior Brodie Buckland of the heavyweight crew joins senior Alexander Phil-lips of the lightweight crew on the squad. First team All-Ivy League shortstop Morgan Brown, who earlier was named an ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District selection, makes the team, along with All-Ivy tennis player Sco� Denenberg and senior Sean Kane, who was a four-year starter for the men’s lacrosse team.

***** Harvard women’s volleyball Head Coach Jen Weiss an-nounced the hiring of Christi Kelsey as assistant coach. Kelsey comes to Cambridge a�er serving as a volunteer assistant at Wellesley College for the last four years. “We are excited to have Christi join our staff in July,” Weiss said. “Christi has such a passion for the sport of volleyball and coaching. Christi‘s playing experience in the Big Ten Conference and her coaching experience over the past five years will be a per-fect combination for our program.“ Kelsey was an outside hi�er and defensive specialist for the Purdue women’s volleyball team and was a two-time Academic All-Big Ten first team selection.

***** Four Harvard student-athletes have been voted to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District at-large first teams, tying for the most selections of any school in any division and district in the country. Senior tennis player Melissa Anderson, junior swim-mer Noelle Bassi and sophomore fencer Emily Cross were voted to the District 1 University Division women’s team by members of the College Sports Information Directors of America. Senior swimmer David Cromwell represented Harvard on the men’s team. All four student-athletes advance to the ESPN The Maga-zine Academic All-America ballot. Harvard’s three selections to the women’s team also matches the national high for any school.

***** NBC has announced that three-time Olympian and Har-vard graduate Angela Ruggiero ‘04 will join 17 other candidates selected to ‘interview’ for the title of “The Apprentice” during season six of the hit show. NBC’s “The Apprentice,” hosted by Donald Trump, returns in January on Sundays with new twists, new geography -- shot exclusively in Southern California -- new boardrooms and 18 new candidates. Last February, Mark Burne�, creator and executive producer, opened “Apprentice” casting to the viewers to choose one of 12 U.S. Olympic athletes competing in the 2006 Winter Games.

***** Water polo le�erman and captain Michael Graff ‘73 was elected Chairman of the newly installed USA Water Polo Board of Directors. Graff has served as a Board Director for many non-profit organizations in sports, the arts, education and health care. He has a Bachelors degree in Economics from Harvard and a Mas-ters in Management from Massachuse�s Institute of Technology.

***** Craig Adams ‘99, the Crimson hockey captain in the 1998-99 season, can now add Stanley Cup champion to his resume. Adams, a 6-0/200-pound right winger, helped the Carolina Hurricanes defeat the Edmonton Oilers, 3-1, in game seven of the Stanley Cup Final in Raleigh, NC. Adams joined Carolina this past October in a trade and he is in his fi�h NHL season. In his four-year Harvard career, he totaled 86 points (41g, 45a) and 281 penalty minutes in 182 games. He was also a Harvard Hockey team-mate of Hurricanes Vice President/Assistant General Manager Jason Karmanos ‘96 and Hurricanes TV Ana-lyst Tripp Tracy ‘96. Adams is just the second Harvard alum to win a Stanley Cup, following George Owen ‘28 who won the coveted prize in 1929 with the Boston Bruins.
