That is where he was the happiest.” For example, the sub-surface used to be asphalt, but, now, there is a cushion and the surface is softer, so the synthetic turf can turn with the player’s foot as his or her body rotates. Mrs. Lee also points out that synthetic turf helps her players as they follow the bouncing ball. “It’s a ‘balls on the ground’ game. This should allow for predictability and no irregular bounces,” she says. Mr. and Mrs. Babbitt emphasize how grateful and appreciative they are for all of the support they have received from the Pingry community, and the naming of the field in John’s name means a lot to them. “John would be so honored, proud, and grateful to know that there are going to be so many kids who will have the opportunity to give sports a try, and to know that he’s a part of that,” Mrs. Babbitt says.

I still update the records each year and his legacy continues as each current player receives the manual “Pride and Tradition: The History of Pingry Lacrosse.” My office contains many lacrosse trophies, plaques, and pictures. My favorite picture is of our team winning the 1993 New Jersey Prep “A” Championship. Mr. Weiler, who was on the sideline cheering for us during the game, is in the middle of the picture with his right hand firmly grasped around the trophy and his left fist pumping the air in excitement. He is surrounded by players who loved him and is cherishing a great moment. This is how I will remember Mr. Weiler: a man who loved lacrosse, a man who loved Pingry, and, most impor- tantly, a man who was loved by others.

Through the sport of lacrosse, he and I shared a passion. I am proud to be the current head varsity coach and equally proud to follow in his footsteps. I first met Rick in 1987 when I came to Pingry and he was the middle school assistant lacrosse coach. I soon became the varsity coach and, through the help of former Pingry lacrosse coach Toni Bristol’s resourcefulness of saving all of the old lacrosse records, I was able to read the statistics and newspaper clippings of Mr. Weiler’s teams from

had the privilege of swimming for Coach Weiler for four years on

Pingry’s varsity swim team. Rick Weiler taught and coached superbly for 40 years at Pingry in his consis- tently committed, effective, low-key, and (sometimes) quirky way. Coaches are inducted into the Hall of Fame based mostly on their wins and loss- es—and Rick’s teams had many wins. However, for truly exceptional coaches, such as Rick Weiler, it is really about developing young people and creating a team atmosphere. What Rick Weiler brought to the equation should by no means be taken for granted. What made him so special? He had the ability to balance having fun on the team with the expectation of top effort. He connected with students/ athletes in an informal way—so that we always knew that it was about us, not about him—while maintaining the necessary discipline and respect between coach and athlete. He was usually a man of few words and went about his business without calling attention to himself. We learned that preparation is important; he always prepared rigorously for meets. But despite his preparation and passion for competition, he also had the ability to leave the meet behind.
