Comment on : Princeton Day School Inducts Three Remarkable Athletes into Hall of Fame

Princeton Day School Inducts Three Remarkable Athletes into Hall of Fame

Princeton – The Princeton Day School Selection Committee recognized three outstanding alumni athletes at a ceremony under the tent during this year’s Alumni Weekend celebrations on May 13 and 14. Dana DeCore Falconi '96, Timothy Howard '86, and Peter Morse PCD '61 were inducted into the prestigious PDS Athletic Hall of Fame, which honors alumni who have an exceptional interscholastic athletic career, or have otherwise distinguished themselves through extraordinary athletic achievements, and exemplify the highest ideals of the school.

 

Dana DeCore Falconi '96, has the distinction of being the only PDS athlete, and one of four women in Mercer County to amass the following record during their high school careers: over 100 goals in soccer, over 1,000 points in basketball and over 200 points in lacrosse. While at Princeton University, Dana is credited with helping to turn around the women’s soccer program as a four-year varsity player, two-year captain and overall leader, bringing her team to a first-ever NCAA tournament, and laying the foundation for many more. While in college, Dana coached PDS seventh grade lacrosse and last spring a fifth and sixth grade lacrosse club. “Dana’s knowledge and expertise, her passion for sports and her desire to help young girls learn to play at a competitive level was unparalleled,” say PDS Coach Jill Thomas.

 

Dr. Timothy Howard '86 came to PDS as a sophomore and lost no time becoming involved in sports and gaining the respect of his teammates and coaches. Dr. Howard went out for football that first year, a sport he never played before, and was eventually the captain for all three of his sports—basketball, baseball and football—and was honored with a Gold “P,” the school’s highest athletic honor. Alan Taback, former PDS coach says, “He was very selfless, yet his presence was powerful, steady and very skillful. The pressure of a big game never bothered him. He is truly a person with a generous heart and he played that way.”
