Title: Lacrosse Hall of Fame
Post by: billhoward on August 24, 2024, 09:24:06 AM
A bit late, but nevertheless: Ned Harkness named to the Lacrosse coaches hall of fame. https://cornellbigred.com/news/2024/8/23/two-mens-lacrosse-faces-named-to-2024-imlca-hall-of-fame-class.aspx

Context: The Intercollegiate Men's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IMLAC) Hall of Fame existed since 2015 and an inaugural-year inductee was Richie Moran, 257-121 as a head coach, 3 NCAA titles in his first decade. No brainer.

Harkness is the second IMLAC Cornell inductee. His lacrosse record: 147 wins, 27 losses and 2 ties in 16 seasons at RPI and Cornell, .841.

Also honored this year: Howie Borkan '81, "Bob Russell Contributors Award" recipient.

There is a separate Lacrosse Hall of Fame (https://www.usalacrosse.com/national-lacrosse-hall-fame-and-museum). Takes a long time to get in. I think you have to be closer to dead than to your playing years. It looks as if the youngest Cornell inductee is Tim Goldstein '88, in 2007. The most recent inductee is Bob Shaw '72, in 2023.
