Alumni in the news . . .

With Baylor in the NCAA Finals, Dave Bliss ‘65 is in the news again.

On a more positive note, MLB Commissioner, Rob Manfred, ILR ‘80, scrapped the All-Star game in Atlanta.

I had no idea Bliss was a Cornellian. Meh, he worked under Knight, of course he was a POS.

Jesus fuck, we produced Manfred and Bettman? We have a lot to answer for.

Same place, different memory. I used to go to the Ithaca Hotel in the early ‘60s to watch NY Giants football. No TV at my fraternity — how deprived we were.

Cornell in the Olympics

TOKYO BOUND!

With the WIN at the World Triathlon Championship Series race in Yokohama, Taylor Knibb has earned her spot on the U.S. Olympic Triathlon Team! 🇺🇸

At 23-years-old, she's the youngest woman triathlete to ever represent Team USA at the Olympic Games. #TokyoUnited pic.twitter.com/Av4YvIXlZV

Cool.

Don't die.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but Hopkins Lacrosse has just been put on probation for violating NC$$ regulations regarding athletic scholarships.

Oops! As a former Ivy and DII coach, Milliman probably should be forgiven for not knowing NCAA regulations about athletic “scholarships.”

I think the infractions may have occurred before he took over. Justice and the NC$$ are incongruent.

The greatest American to ever do it.

Congratulations to alum Rudy Winkler on winning the 2021 Olympic Trials in AMERICAN RECORD FASHION. 82.71m / 271’4

The Cornell community is so proud of you!!

She didn't. She finished 16th in the individual competition, then won a silver medal in the mixed team relay a few days later.

On his second throw, Rudy surpassed the automatic qualifying distance, so he's in Wednesday's final. I suspect the finals will produce some bigger throws than the qualies, and Rudy is quite capable of throwing over 80 meters, holding the American record at 82.71 meters.

he knew as soon as it left his hands

"AAAAAAGH... That's it!" - @WinklerRudy, as he lets go of the hammer, which then lands 78.81m away, comfortably past the line to qualify for Hammer Throw finals

Winkler finished seventh, with a top throw of 77.08. If he had been able to duplicate his American record throw, he would have won the gold.
