The 25 Greatest Athletes in Princeton History
To PAW’s previous attempts to select lists of influential alumni (2008 and 2017), we humbly submit to readers this list of the top 25 greatest athletes to ever play for Princeton.
A panel of experts made these selections: current athletics director John Mack ’00, former athletics directors Mollie Marcoux Samaan ’91 and Gary Walters ’67, longtime sports information director Jerry Price, and ESPN investigative reporter Tisha Thompson ’99. One evening in late September, we all gathered at the Nassau Inn and attempted to hash it out.
