More Greats for the Conversation

Your January 2025 issue listing the 25 greatest Princeton athletes had some notable omissions that I am sure you considered. Armond Hill ’85 led Princeton to the NIT title in 1975 and was the Ivy League player of the year in 1976. He was a first round NBA draft choice and played eight years in the NBA. Geoff Petrie ’70 was All-Ivy League as a sophomore and junior and All-East as a junior and senior and was NBA rookie of the year in 1971. He was later president of the Sacramento Kings and NBA executive of the year in 1999 and 2001. Hank Bjorklund ’72 was an All-East running back in 1970 and 1971 and played for the New York Jets from 1972-74. Jason Garrett ’89 set several Ivy League passing records before embarking on a long playing career and coaching career in the NFL.
