Ivy League honors El Halaby
Sophomore Yasser El Halaby has been named the 2004 Ivy League Player of the Year. El Halaby dominated the 2003-2004 season, taking the College Squash Association Championship for the second consecutive year. He swept Harvard's William Broadbent in the CSA Championships. El Halaby did not lose a single game in the tournament.
The Princeton sophomore was also the first amateur ever to qualify for the Tournament of Champions. In a qualifying tournament for the event, El Halaby defeated two of the top 100 professional players in the world.
Considered by many to be one of the best collegiate players of all time, he has already amassed a hall-of-fame caliber resume. Next year he will seek to join Steve Vehslage '61 and four others who have won three national titles.
McBarnette '80 still jumping
46-year-old Princeton graduate Bruce McBarnette, won the high jump at the U.S. National Masters Track and Field Championships in Boston, Mass. McBarnette won his age group with a jump height of 1.88 meters, which was six inches than the next finisher in his age group. McBarnette was a football player at Princeton before he decided to try out track in one of his off-seasons. By the time he graduated, he had committed himself entirely to his new passion. Unfortunately for the Tigers, McBarnette reached his full potential only after graduating. Last year, the tiger alum set a world record for his age group with a jump height of 1.93 meters.
