For Pedlow, a first-year striker on the Cornell men’s soccer team, the transition to university life included a transcontinental journey.
For junior goalkeeper Kelly Johnson, a fourth generation Cornellian playing for Cornell field hockey is about more than just representing her family and her institution. “A great majority of the people in my family that have come to Cornell have been men, so representing the power of females in sports and academics means a lot to me,” she said. For the past three years, Johnson — a biology and society major — has come to define female achievement for the Big Red and has become one of the most talented and consistent players in Cornell history. This season, Johnson broke the program record for most wins as a goalkeeper and notched the seventh shutout of her career. “Kelly has always been a really solid goalkeeper,” said Head Coach Donna Hornibrook.
“One of my first memories from Cornell was on my recruiting trip,” Boothe said. “They had the scrolls lining the walls overlooking the field of Schoellkopf. I remember thinking, ‘Man, that’d be awesome if one day my name could be up on those walls.’”
This past August, Winkler had the honor of representing the United States in Rio de Janeiro in the 2016 Summer Olympics. A member of Cornell’s track and field team, Winkler donned the red, white and blue and competed for the United States in the hammer throw.
