Class of 2007 Bill
Ardito Years Played: 2003-2007 Positions Played: Prop Moments and memories: My first and only official
try came in the spring 2006 season (my junior year). We were playing a home
game aginst Molloy (their third or fourth game as a team). I ended up getting
tossed the ball as I came off of a ruck out on the wing, and I ran full speed
at the try-line. The only thing between me and the try was Molly's winger,
Kevin, who bravely dropped a shoulder and launched his 170-lb frame into my 270-lb gut.
Momentum carried me into the try zone, but I had no time to relish in the
moment. As I stood, my stomach twisted from the impact and I ran off the
field to the cheers of the home crowd. Ripping my jersey over my head at the
last minute, I ran to the sideline and immediately began vomitting all over
the sidelines right in front of a group of B&G workers and their families
who came out to support us that day. I puked for almost five minutes, and I
caused a poor little girl who was there to start crying and hide behind her
brothers and sisters. Later that night Moody and I brought the Zulu tradition
back to Bard right into the Spring Fling concert "BardStock"
with two Molloy players who stayed to party with us as the newly formed
women's team made the channel and poured beer all over us. Currently doing: ÒI am currently a NYC
Teaching Fellow. I am going for my Master's in Teaching Mathematics at
St. John's University in Jamaica, Queens, New York, and will be a full
time Math Teacher in Queens starting in the fall of the 2007-2008
school year.Ó Current Location: New York Occupation: Contact: wa471 @ bard .
