    Editor: Kristy McNeil AUGUST 2013 Michael Franklin ’13 finishes the 10k at the NCAA Championships in fifth Julia Ratcliffe’16 earned second-team All-America honors in her first NCAA place, the best finish in the event for a Tiger in NCAA history. He was ranked Outdoor Championship in the hammer throw. She had the second-longest 18th entering the meet. throw in the nation this season. Chairman’s Statement What has become clear is that the Princeton track and cross country program is now taking on a national presence as never before. Princeton has always had performers on the national stage: Bill Bonthron, David Pellegrini, Augie Wolf, Tora Harris, Donn Cabral, Al Dyer, Craig Masback, Lynn Jennings, Ashley Higginson, Nicole Harrison and Debbie St. Phard. What is happening now is that our presence on the national stage is becoming more frequent. This has profound implications for Princeton, the program and certainly our student athletes. After lengthy conversations with the coaches it’s clear that the financial support from Friends has had a dramatic impact on recruiting and performance. As such, know that your contributions are having the impact that you want and deserve. Our coaching staff from top to bottom may be the best in the country. We know Princeton is. With that package and proper funding our dominance and national presence can be assured to continue. On behalf of the coaches, our student athletes and the board, may I respectfully thank you for your contributions last year and ask you for your continued support this year. Enjoy Tiger Tracks.
