Interview with Olympian Donn Cabral ’12

You set some lofty goals for yourself, wanting to win the NCAAs and make the Olympic team this year. What went in to achieving both goals, physically and mentally? I had several goals including breaking 4 in the mile, winning Penn Relays, and getting the team triple crown at the Heps championships this year. But in the end doing everything to realize my Olympic dream made the other goals possible. All the belief I had to have in myself carries over to other races. The fitness I gained and the health I protected all year couldn’t help but show during the regular season as well as at the Olympic Trials. But to be more direct lots of miles, repetitions, lifts, sleep, and single-mindedness went in to achieving what I have this year.

After attaining those goals, what goals have you set for yourself now, and what is your goal for this year’s Olympics? At the Olympics I’ll have to treat the semi-finals as if they are the finals. My goal is to run a personal best there and to make the finals. I think I can still shave several seconds off my time if things go well between now and then. After that I’ll reassess. My long term goals are to make the future world championship teams and Olympic teams and to break the American Record, by a lot. Getting a medal at the World Championships or the Olympics is a dream of mine, but I’m not at the level yet where I feel comfortable saying that’s currently a goal.

You’re known as being a great finisher – how do you train for something like that? When you’ve just run 2,000+ meters how do you get that strength to push harder and faster in those final 2-3 laps? What do you tell yourself when you’re just exhausted? Late in the race when the pace starts ratcheting down I just make sure to tell myself that I’ve still got plenty of gears left and plenty of gas in the tank. This makes me feel more relaxed and able to hold my form as I start to really push my limits. Coach Dolan has us do a few accelerations once a week where we hit top-speed and hold it for a very short time. That has definitely added to my new-found ability to finish well. But the biggest reason is that On the Olympic Trials the guy who finishes fastest is usually the guy who feels the best at the end of a race. Meaning this year I’ve just been fitter than I’ve ever been so if You were in 4-5th for most of the race (trial final), that’s a place you haven’t everyone else has given 98% and I’m neck and neck with them only having been all year. You usually like to sit second or third. Were you nervous you run 95%, I’ll have more gears to show at the finish. So I attribute most of my were back a little further? finishing kick to my big leap in fitness this year. No, I wasn’t really nervous that I was further back than usual. In college races the competition isn’t usually quite as deep meaning it is usually easier On the NCAA Championships to maintain a spot toward the front of a race. I’d only get nervous mid-race if I felt like my legs were tired and I were not completely confident in my ability Being the runner-up at the NCAAs the last two years, did you feel a lot of to close at least as fast as the other guys around me. pressure to be successful this year? It wasn’t the kind of pressure that makes things difficult to bear, but just When did you realize you had top three and weren’t going to be caught? uncomfortable. I knew that I wouldn’t be able to be sharp for the full indoor Once I came off the final water barrier and had just over 100 meters left and outdoor track seasons, so it was uncomfortable being the top returning I knew I wasn’t going to get Evan but that I also had an Olympic berth steeplechaser in the country and getting beat as often as I was for a lot of guaranteed. the track season. I knew my plan, but I didn’t like adding to the reputation that steeplechase might just be a weaker, watered-down competition. Once What was going through your head on the last couple laps as you made your I began to run well I had no worries that I was hitting my stride at the right way into second place? time. It wasn’t really excitement until the last 100 meters. Until then it was just typical racing thoughts. I knew that I was in the mix of guys who were going You were the runner-up the last two years, did you feel a lot of pressure to , but I needed to do a better job positioning myself to ensure third coming into the race? place was in reach but also positioning myself for the win by the final lap. This is a huge event for me. I got second the last two years and I really wanted to end my Princeton career with a national championship. I knew I Describe the feeling of crossing the line and knowing you were going to could do it, but actually going ahead and doing it means so much to me. London? I’ve wanted this for two year’s now. After my sophomore year I said ok I knew it was possible, and I’ve known for months that I’ve got what it takes next year, junior year, I’m going to come back and win this thing. I ended up to be an Olympian, but at that moment it became an actual title that I’d getting beat significantly, so I said ok no more messing around, senior year earned. I had the whole final 100 meters to soak in that feeling - it was a is the year. This is a big deal, I’ve seen the list of All-Americas and national beautiful thing. champions in our locker room and I wanted to add my name to that. I got out exactly how I expected. A hard first 80 meters because What are your plans post Olympics? everyone wants a good position. And no one is comfortable any slower than I plan to stay in Europe for a bit and get in another race or two post-Olympics, under 70 seconds per lap and I think we were running 69. So we did that for and then begin my early season training while traveling around Europe. 2,000 meters. And my plan was to be on the shoulder of the leader for 2,000 I’m no longer going to Colorado and I haven’t chosen a coach or training meters and then with 1,000 meters I was going to make a decisive move and group yet so I have no commitments. I still plan to go to run to the pit from there. I executed it pretty well and it went according to eventually, but in the meantime I’d like to have a part-time job to make sure plan. I keep busy and my mind doesn’t go stale. 5 August 2012 Tiger Tracks

McLean broke the school record in the triple jump and earned first-team All-America honors. Cabral continued his mastery of the steeplechase with a convincing win and his third consecutive All- America award in that event. The NCAA title was a truly great capstone to his incredible collegiate career. Along with the excitement and energy of team and individual titles, the 2012 season was literally one for the record books. Six school records were broken during the past season. Cabral led the record-breaking spree as he set the American Collegiate record in the steeplechase with a world class clocking of 8:19.41. Stilin, who had a season for the ages, accounted for two new records. He ran an incredibly impressive 3:39.42 for 1,500.

Hopkins broke the oldest record on the Princeton books. Rich Edmunds’ WELCOME OUR LATEST STAFF MEMBERS 400 mark of 46.4 had stood since 1960. Tom’s time of 46.23 is outstanding, and also one of the top times in Ivy League history (#6). McLean came all the way back from his ankle injury to record a big 52’7 ¼” triple jump. Like Head Men’s Cross Country Coach Hopkins, McLean is just a sophomore. Exciting times are ahead for both and of them. Finally, McCullough launched a national leading 242’9” in the Assistant Men’s Track & Field Coach hammer throw to further etch his name atop the Princeton leaderboard. The youngsters got into the act too. Freshman steeplechaser Eddie JASON VIGILANTE Owens qualified for the World Junior Championships in Barcelona. Eddie ran a great 8:51.44 in the final at the worlds, stamping himself as one of the up and coming starts nationally. Pole vaulter Adam Bragg continued to improve all season long. He jumped a big PR of 16’9”, just missing the world team. Matt McDonald also continued Princeton’s tradition of outstanding distance runners. He placed a strong third at the US Junior Trials in the 10,000 meters, missing a trip to Barcelona by a lean-out at the tape. Capping off our truly historic season by watching Donn Cabral at the 2012 Olympic games was spectacular. Running like a seasoned pro, Donn qualified for the steeplechase final. In the final Cabral ran a beautiful tactical race, to finish eighth in a field full of world-renowned runners. Wewish Donn great success in the future as he begins his career as a professional runner. Off the track we have been just as busy. This summer three significant things have happened with our program. First, we have hired Michael Henderson to be our new Director of Operations. Mike’s duties will include assisting both the men’s and women’s programs with all aspects of team administration, home meet management and recruiting. Assistant Women’s Second, Coach Steve Dolan has moved on to be the new coach at Ivy Track & Field Coach League rival Penn. We wish Steve good luck as he begins his new job. Many thanks go to Steve for his wonderful work with our cross country and track BRIAN MONDSCHEIN team. Third, after a comprehensive national search, I am very pleased to announce that the highly respected Jason Vigilante will be our new cross country and assistant track coach. Jason’s stellar coaching record at Texas and Virginia speaks for itself. Jason will make an immediate impact at Princeton and help us continue our rise at the national level. In closing, I really want to thank all of the many people who contributed to the success of our program during the 2011-12 season. The Friends of Track and Field, our Athletic Administration Department, the Sports Information Department, our athletic trainers, and the grounds crew have all helped to elevate our program to national levels. For all of their assistance and help I am extremely grateful!

Augie Wolf ‘83 Excellence is mundane. Augie Wolf ’83 follows that mantra, and it has served him well through his life thus far. He came to Princeton as he says “not very good at all” and shaped up to be arguably the best thrower in Princeton history and an Olympian. Wolf is a four-time All-America in the indoor and outdoor shot put. His senior year he was the runner-up at the indoor national meet and was sixth outdoors. Wolf holds both indoor and outdoor school records in the shot put, as well as the record in the discus. He holds a Heps-record six outdoor titles, winning the shot and discus in 1981, 82 and 83, while helping the team win four Heps team titles in his career. “I think Fred Samara holds the world record for a coach who can take someone from a high school level to an Olympic level,” Wolf said. “I was not very good at all. My first meet at Princeton I had a 43 in the shot put in 1979 - which was a good 10 feet from placing at Ivy League Championships. Five years later I was on the Olympic team. I improved 28 feet which is more than 50 percent.” Following his career at Princeton, Wolf began his training for the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. He was the US Champion in 1984, at both the indoor and outdoor championships, with a PR of 71-3.5. At the Olympic trials Wolf hit 69-8.25 to earn his red, white and blue uniform. He wasn’t done yet, taking the Olympics by storm, finishing fourth in the shot put finals with a final mark of 68-8. Wolf made a run for the Olympics again in 1988, but an injury would end his dream. Six weeks before the trials, he tore his pectoralis muscle. Wolf didn’t give up, “Instead of bagging it, I trained the other parts of my body, did a lot of visualization and went to trials without touching the implement for six weeks. I missed the team on his last throw by two inches hitting 67 feet. That is absolutely my best performance.” Wolf blames the post-graduate path he chose. “Instead of focusing on my sport for another four years, which could have given me the opportunity to do something really special, I got a job on Wall Street. So I half trained, half did the Wall Street stuff. For a number of years I didn’t do either right, sadly.” “I advise athletes, like Donn Cabral and Ashley Higginson to take the next four years, while preparing for life after sport, and focus 100 percent Augie Wolf ‘83 on being the best they can be because they’ll have the experience of a lifetime. And if they prepare themselves during those four years of training for a career after sport, they aren’t going to lose any ground over anyone else.” To help those athletes along that path, Wolf started a program called US Athletic Trust (www.usathletictrust.org). US Athletic Trust provides direct financial support and mentoring to qualified athletes with Olympic aspirations. Every four years, over 1,000 American college graduates qualify for spots on Olympic teams. Their accomplishments require courage, skill, discipline and unyielding drive. They also require financial sacrifice. The group has now supported between 50-75 Ivy League graduate athletes to compete at the Olympics. Unifying the 50 Ivy Leaguers at the London Olympics, including 16 from Princeton, Wolf has put together a reception, on his own, near Buckingham Palace for all Ivy League Olympians and their families. Professionally, Wolf has been a bond salesman for 20 years but recently retooled his profession, slightly. Just one month ago, he took a job in the private banking sector with Credit Suisse. His proudest accomplishments aren’t his athletic achievements however. They are his children. He and his wife Anne, have four children. Their oldest son A.J., earned a scholarship last year to play football at Duke. Sixteen-year-old twin sons Alex and Andrew are making their way in the same direction. Alex is currently being scouting by DI teams for basketball, while Andrew has excelled at swimming but has recently taken up rowing. Dubbed ‘the real athlete of the family is 14-year-old Abby. At 6-0 and predicted to hit 6-3, 6-4, she is already receiving literature from DI Wolf throwing at the US Olympic Trials in Los Angeles basketball programs. 28 Friends of Princeton Track

Carol Wingard ‘83 Carol Wingard ’83 was a member of the cross country and track teams when the programs were in their varsity infancy. She came to Princeton in 1979 when the program attained varsity status, but to her it didn’t seem like a start-up, as the Tigers already had a great influx of athletes. Wingard spent four years on the track team, while running two seasons of cross country on the JV squad. Although she was a “middle of the pack” hurdler on the team, Wingard says the Princeton track & field experience was a vital part of her college career. “Princeton track & field was an absolutely integral part of my Princeton experience. I should say I adored going to Princeton. I was the first one in my family to go to college, and it really changed my world view and introduced me to all sorts of different people, experiences and certainly the academic environment was amazing. But having the track & field program as a constant every single day and the camaraderie with both the men’s and women’s teams…it was a meaningful experience.” Wingard was part of the program’s first triple crown in 1980-81. The track team would carry on the success and won both the indoor and outdoor Heps titles the next two years. She received a degree in history but studied a number of languages while at Princeton. It was her language background that propelled her in her career as she went to Japan for a one-year rotary exchange following graduation. Wingard says it was an experience that changed her life as her interest in Asia grew. It was in Tokyo that Wingard met her husband, Rob Pease. Also from the Class of 1983 and a member of the Princeton men’s tennis team, Pease never crossed paths with Wingard at Princeton. The couple returned to Boston and Wingard studied Mandarin Chinese. In the past 20 years, they’ve gone back and forth between Asia and the U.S. They lived in the US when their oldest son Alexander “Sander” was born, lived four and a half years in Singapore where they welcomed daughter Amanda. Twice they lived in and have spent five years in Shanghai. While living in Shanghai, Wingard hosted the Princeton track & field teams for a dinner when they traveled to China during the summer of 2007. After receiving word from the Friends of Princeton track & field that the team would be coming to Asia, she got together with some other local Wingard in the 1983 team photo Princeton alums to organize a team dinner at the Shanghai Racquet Club. Wingard is a partner with L.E.K. Consulting. She ran the China team for years, helping with strategy consulting in a global market. Now based in Boston, Wingard looks over the Asian office with corporations on their global strategies. Following in his parents’ footsteps, Zander attended Princeton. A member of the men’s track & field teams, he graduated in 2012. His experience was a bit different as he studied the sciences and earned a degree in physics. “He took much harder courses,” she laughed. “One of the big differences was the residential college. That has been a big benefit to the Princeton community. I think Princeton changes a lot in the external ways. A lot of new buildings and stuff like that, but I don’t think the spirit really changes.” Daughter Amanda is a sophomore at Washington University and is an art major. She ran track through high school. It was important to Wingard that her kids participated in track & field. And it didn’t hurt that they had a good coach, as Wingard coached her kids’ track & field teams for years. Her own athletic edge hasn’t dissipated. “It’s ingrained. It is in your blood that at 4 o’clock everyday to go and work out. I’m very active. I think the whole life fitness thing is something that is really learned and ingrained during that Princeton experience.” Now living in Coastal New Hampshire, Wingard says her door is open to her fellow Princeton runners. If you show up at 4 p.m., you’re guaranteed a running partner. Wingard with her husband Rob, son Zander and daughter Amanda.

Peter Hunt ‘88 Peter Hunt ’88 recalls that his time on the Princeton track and field team was a ‘truly transformative experience’. The two main memories of his time at Old Nassau are working on his senior thesis and head coach Fred Samara. Hunt started his Princeton athletic career as a member of the football team. After meeting Samara, Hunt took up track & field. As the next fall season came around Hunt gave up football to focus solely on track, thanks in part to Samara’s dedication to working with Hunt in the decathlon. “He was committed from day one to work with me as a decathlete,” Hunt said of Samara. A history major taking pre-med classes, Hunt recalls that his time with the track & field team was the highlight of his Princeton experience. “Samara was a mentor for me. He was very influential. Seeing how committed he is to the team and the guys through the years is a constant reminder to me of how I should live my life. How I should be committed to what I do, and do the best at what you do. It wasn’t about the winning, it was about pulling as much out of each athlete as he could.” Princeton won four Heptagonal titles while Hunt was on the team, but the team wasn’t getting points from him in the multi-events – they weren’t scored events at Heps. Ironically, the pentathlon became a Heps event the year after Hunt graduated, in 1989. The decathlon wouldn’t become a Heps event until 2004. “You can still lead by example and not necessarily be the highest scorer,” Hunt said. “I certainly was at the track before everyone, and probably left later than everyone. They are probably going ‘What’s he doing? He’s not going to medal or score any points.’ But I had a bigger goal. I wanted to try to the master the event, and to put it all together, and that’s hard to do. You do great in some events and not so great in some others.” Hunt ended his Princeton career with a bang. He competed in an unbelievable three decathlons in three weeks. The IC4A Championship couldn’t have been going any better for Hunt. He was winning and on track to NCAA qualification. It took a turn when he no-heighted in the pole vault. The pole Hunt competing in the hurdles vault for decathletes is third on the second day, placed in a difficult position that lends itself to athletes cramping. Which happened to Dan O’Brien in the 2004 trials – thus rendering the Dan & Dave media blitz insignificant for the Olympics. Samara scrambled to put together a decathlon at Princeton for Hunt, in the final week before NCAAs in order to help him qualify for the championships. Hunt succeeded in the meet to get qualifying standard and headed to the NCAAs just a few days later. Hunt finished one place out of earning All-America honors at the NCAAs, placing ninth with 7,232 points. He continues to hold Princeton’s record in the decathlon with 7,466 points. The one-time record holder in the pentathlon, Hunt has been moved to fourth with 3,846 points. The year he graduated in 1988 was an Olympic year. Samara had Hunt go to California to train to Harry Mara, a renowned decathlon coach and national team coach. “It was a great memory and experience to be out there and training with other athletes who were going to be in the Olympics,” Hunt said. Hunt ended up being a couple hundred points shy of qualifying for the Olympic trials. After the Olympic trials, Hunt attended medical school at Vanderbilt and did a fellowship there. He trained at the Baylor Medical Center in Houston and did surgical training. Hunt now has a private practice in Chattanooga, specializing in head and neck cancers (otolaryngology). He also does general ENT surgical work. He is trying to develop a center of excellence for head and neck cancer at Parkridge Medical Center. He also teaches at an indigent clinic for those who are uninsured. Hunt is the father of three sons, all of whom compete in sports. He helped to organize a high jump competition at the elementary school, and has been involved with the middle school track team. In addition, he works with an inner city track team in order to get them more resources. “As kids get into middle and high school, I’m hoping to get out on the track and help in the field and hurdling events.” Hunt and Samara pose for a photo at Princeton 30 Friends of Princeton Track
