Ithaca College Athletics

Bob Tallman was one of the pioneering figures in the development of crew at Ithaca. He spent seven years as head coach of the men's crew, posting a 64-23 record. Under his direction a boathouse was built, women's rowing was begun and a men's lightweight crew was instituted. In 1975 the men's varsity 8 completed an undefeated dual-meet season with a third-place finish at the Dad Vail regatta (considered the small-college national championship event).
