Peter Lambert ’90 helped the men’s soccer team to four postseason appearances, including a pair of NCAA playoff berths. He scored 48 career points and led the Bombers to a four-year record of 50-19-4. A three-time all-conference midfielder, Lambert earned all-American honors in 1989. That year he also went to St. Louis as the only Division III player selected to participate in the Senior Bowl all-star game.

President of his senior class, Bob Sampson ’49 played baseball and basketball at Ithaca. As a high school coach and administrator he compiled stellar records coaching football, basketball, golf, and track at Hackley Preparatory School in Tarrytown, New York, and at Onondaga, Mamaroneck, and Locust Valley High Schools. Sampson spent 25 years --- as coach and athletic director --- at the Brunswick School in Greenwich, Connecticut, posting a football record of 140-14 with eight league champion ships. His teams also won league titles in basketball and golf.

Bob Tallman was one of the pioneering figures in the development of the Ithaca College crew program. He spent seven years as head coach of men’s crew, posting a 64-23 record. Under his direction a boathouse was built, women’s rowing was begun, and a men’s lightweight crew was instituted. In 1975 the men’s varsity eight concluded an undefeated dual-meet season with a third-place finish at the Dad Vail Regatta, considered the small-college national championship event.
