Quick Facts: • Princeton is one of only five schools in the country that fields a varsity sprint football team. Those five teams com- prise the Collegiate Sprint Football League. The other members are Army, Cornell, Navy and Pennsylvania. The league was formed in 1934 and was known as the Eastern 150-pound Football League. There were seven original members of the league: Cornell, Lafayette, Pennsylvania, Princeton, Rutgers, Villanova and Yale. The 150-pound limit as the basis for the lightweight team seems to have come about as a carryover from the sport of rowing, in which the weight is used to distinguish between lightweight and heavyweight crews.

    Head Coach Marlin Ikenberry Head Coach Marlin Ikenberry VMI ‘95 Sixth Season 143-132 Career Record Winningest Coach In Program History ver the past five seasons, the VMI baseball program has enjoyed unprecedented success. Winning games against top-ten teams, receiving national rankings and being regarded as one of the top programs in the Ostate and in the region are now attributes of a program built under head coach Marlin Ikenberry. Ikenberry enters his sixth season at the helm of the program as the winningest coach in the history of VMI baseball. The 2008 season saw the Keydets post their third-consecutive winning campaign, a feat not accomplished in the past 52 years of the program, while VMI also defeated a ranked team for the fourth-straight season. Also during the year, the Keydets went 14-7 in the Big South, the first winning league mark since VMI joined the confer- ence in 2003. In 2007, Ikenberry guided his squad to a 34-21 record, marking the third-straight season the team had broken the school record for wins, while also knock- ing off a pair of top-ten teams for the first time in program history. As a result,VMI baseball earned its first-ever national ranking, being tabbed 30th in the coun- try by Collegiate Baseball in back-to-back weeks while also receiving votes in the Writers’ Poll. Marlin Ikenberry was named head coach on July 22, 2003, being promoted to the top spot in the program after former head coach Tom Slater departed VMI in the summer of 2003 to accept a coaching position at the University of Florida.

    NYS Elite Athletics, LLC 520 South Drive Rochester, NY 14612 Dear Youth Football President, I hope all is well with you and 2018 is treating you good so far. I wanted to touch base with you in regards to our 2nd Annual Finger Lakes Youth Football Camp for this Summer (July 23rd -25th -6:00p.m.-8:00p.m.) at Lyons High School Turf Field. This camp will be greatly beneficial to your youth program financially (as I will be donating money to you for every youth player that registers from your youth program) as well as building a connection with your high school program and coaches. Last year I was able to donate over $720 back to the Finger Lakes Youth Football Programs. This year I hope I can donate over $1000 back to the Finger Lakes Youth Football Programs. As the Camp Director I would take care of every managerial items related to this camp, all you would have to do is help promote this camp. This camp would be a NON-Contact camp of which players would only wear helmets to help identify what youth program they represent. My goal again for this camp is not only to teach football fundamentals in a fun and safe environment, but to also help to strengthen our youth programs and high school programs and most importantly build a connection with both. I know this camp will be beneficial to all, so feel free to call me if you have any questions. Here is my cell 585- 298-0897. In the mean time feel free to take a look at the article from last years camp (see below).
