Established in 1995, the Hall of Fame aims to perpetuate the memory of those who have brought distinction, honor, and excellence to Hartwick College through athletic accomplishments. The 2008 Athletic Hall of Fame class includes:
Larry Carpenter ’81 was a key member to three Hartwick basketball teams that advanced to the NCAA Eastern Regional final. During his career, Hartwick amassed an 81-22 record. Carpenter completed his career with 603 assists, which still ranks first. A 1978 NABC third team all-East honoree, Carpenter established school records for assists in a single-game, assists in a single-season, and assists in a career. On January 22, 1979, he dished off a school-record 17 helpers versus New Haven. Carpenter tied this record two more times. In the 1978-79 season he dished off a school-record 258 assists, a record that still stands today.
Kim Carter ’00, a two-time field hockey All-American, wrapped up her career with 35 goals and 82 points, ranking eighth on the all-time list for both categories. Carter was a first team NFHCA All-American as a junior, and a third-team honoree as a senior. In her junior year she posted 12 goals and 28 points en route to gaining NYSWCAA first team all-state honors while leading Hartwick to a 16-5 record, a spot in the NCAA regionals, and state title. In 1999, Hartwick returned to the NCAA tournament as Carter put up 21 goals and 47 points and once again gained first team all-state accolades. During her four years, Hartwick tallied a 65-18 overall mark.
Sue Ketcham ’00, a two-time lacrosse All-American, is arguably one of Hartwick’s best goalies ever to compete for the women’s lacrosse program. During her career, Hartwick posted a 43-30 record. As a sophomore Ketcham guided Hartwick to an 18-4 record and a spot in the NCAA Final Four. In 1998 she posted a school-record 286 saves, which currently ranks 17th all-time in NCAA Division III. That year Ketcham also earned a spot on the NCAA Championships all-tournament team, and third team IWLCA All-American. In her junior year she was a first team all-state and a second team all-American. She completed her career with 896 saves, which ranks first all-time at Hartwick, and currently seventth all-time in the Division III ranks.
Dan Pincelli ’02 helped lead the football program to a 28-14 record and three consecutive berths in the ECAC Northwest title game. As a senior, Pincelli completed 198 of 361 passes for 3,208 yards and 36 touchdowns as the Hawks posted an 8-2 record and defeated Curry College to win the ECAC title game. That season Pincelli was recognized as the Empire 8 player of the year; a first team all-league honoree; the ECAC Northwest player of the year; as well as the recipient of the prestigious Melberger Award, which goes to the top football player in the Division III ranks. Pincelli, the 2001 recipient of the Phil Rigano Trophy, finished his career with 9,890 passing yards and 116 touchdowns, ranking as Hartwick’s all-time leading passer.
Carl Rees ’88 was a two-time all-regional honoree and a member of two Hartwick Final Four men’s soccer teams (1984 and 1985). With Rees on the roster, Hartwick tallied a 56-20-7 record and four NCAA tournament berths. For his career Rees scored 24 goals and 13 assists. In 1984 he earned all-freshman honors by Soccer America. After playing three years as a defender, in his senior year Rees played forward and led the team with 10 goals and 24 points. Rees played professional soccer for two years with the Albany Capitals before embarking on a coaching career. He returned to Hartwick in 1992 and served as an assistant coach to Jim Lennox for four years. For the past 12 years he has been the head coach at Fairfield University.
Susan Reynolds-Pausley ’90 graduated as a five-event College record holder and a five-time swimming All-American. During her career, Hartwick posted a 38-21 dual meet record and placed among the top 20 at the NCAA Championships three times. In the 1989-90 campaign, Reynolds-Pausley finished 13-1 overall, placed third at the state meet, and 14th nationally. She established school records in the 100 and 200 fly, the 400 IM, and the 1650 free—none of which, however, remain today. Reynolds-Pausley was a member of three 200 medley, as well as one 400 medley and 200 free relays that garnered All-American status. Reynolds-Pausley was a two-time Academic All-American in 1988-89 and 1989-90, the 1989-90 NYSWCAA Scholar Athlete of the Year, the 1989-90 President’s Senior Scholar Athlete, and recipient of the 1989-90 Margaret Lunn Award.
Kory Schramm ’02 is one of Hartwick’s most decorated football players. During his career, Schramm was named to four All-American teams, and Hartwick posted a 28-14 record, including three-consecutive ECAC title game appearances. As a senior, Schramm was named a second team All-American by the Football Gazette, DIIIfootball.com, and by Hewlett Packard. He also was a 2002 first team ECAC Northwest selection, and first team all-Empire 8 Conference honoree. Schramm was honored in his junior year as a third team All-American by Football Gazette, and in 2000 named Hartwick’s Most Outstanding Male Athlete. Schramm set a program record 25 interceptions and 57 pass break-ups. His 204 career tackles ranks ninth on the Hartwick list. Schramm was killed in 2004 by a moving automobile while he was in Athens, Greece working at the Summer Olympics.
Tony Tatro ’95 ranks at the top of the Hartwick career lists in wins (19), innings pitched (247.2), strikeouts (232), and saves (6). During his career Tatro was named to the ECAC Upstate all-tournament as a freshman; as a sophomore was named a first team ABCA all-region; an ECAC Upstate all-star, and a first team Empire Athletic Association honoree. As a junior he led Hartwick to its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance, a school-record 25 wins, was named the Empire Athletic Association Co-Pitcher of the Year, and a second team ABCA all-region honoree. Tatro also garnered many non-athletic awards, including the Ubert Scholarship for academic excellence and campus involvement, a Trustee Scholarship for academic excellence, the 1994-95 Hartwick President’s Senior Scholar Athlete Award, and the 1992 Outstanding Freshman Physics Award.
