2025 Athletics Hall of Honor inductees selected

Jennifer Greene ’85

Arriving as an upper midway through winter term, Jennifer Greene made an immediate impact on the diving team. With remarkable talent and determination, she adjusted quickly to the competitive league and went on to set numerous records. As an upper, Greene shattered the New England diving record with a victory at the NEPSAC interscholastic meet. Her senior year included an undefeated season, a second interscholastic title, and being named runner-up for Athlete of the Term by The Phillipian.

At Harvard, Greene set four university diving records and still holds several university and pool records. She was a First-Team All-Ivy performer in 1986 (3m), 1987 (3m), and 1988 (1m), and Second-Team All-Ivy in 1988 (3m). She earned First-Team All-American honors in 1988 (1m), was named First-Team All-East in 1988, and was selected for the U.S. Diving National Team that same year.

Greene transferred to the University of Texas for her final season of eligibility, earning First-Team All-American honors in 1989 (1m) and helping the team finish as NCAA runner-up. She returned to Harvard to complete her degree.

During Greene’s years at Harvard, the team captured Ivy League titles each season (1986–1989). She was inducted into the Harvard Varsity Club Hall of Fame in 2012.

Greene went on to earn an MBA in finance from Wharton and is currently a consultant to financial services and fintech companies. She remains deeply engaged in the diving community as a board member and CFO of Dive Lab, a Bay Area nonprofit supporting competitive divers, and coaches at Redwood and Archie Williams high schools. Greene also serves on the Grants Committee for the To Celebrate Life breast cancer foundation and volunteers regularly at the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank.

E. Webb Harrison Jr. ’60

Webb Harrison arrived at Andover as a lower and quickly distinguished himself as a three-sport varsity athlete in football, hockey, and baseball, earning nine varsity letters. As a senior, he played a pivotal role on the undefeated 1959 football team and was named first-string on the All-New England prep school team. In hockey, he served as co-captain, and in baseball, he anchored the infield as the team’s shortstop, contributing to an outstanding 11–1 season. At Commencement, Harrison was awarded the Yale Bowl for excellence in both academics and athletics.

Prior to Andover, Harrison attended Princeton Day School; he was posthumously inducted into the day school’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2000.

After graduating from Andover, Harrison served as a Winant Volunteer, one of just six PA students chosen for the prestigious program. He spent the summer in London helping to rehabilitate war-torn areas of the city and working with children in need—a role requiring both exceptional character and dedication.

At Princeton University, Harrison transitioned from the three sports he had played at Andover and went on to excel in soccer and lacrosse. He earned varsity letters for three years in both sports, establishing himself as a standout collegiate athlete. As the varsity lacrosse goalie, he earned All-Ivy and All-American honors his senior year.

After graduating from Princeton, Harrison continued his commitment to service by joining the Peace Corps from 1964 to 1966, teaching high school in Nigeria. This transformative experience inspired a newfound passion for medicine. Though he had not pursued a premed path as an undergraduate, he took on double premed courses simultaneously at Cornell and Columbia, putting enormous pressure on himself. Harrison went on to earn an MD from Columbia and completed a residency in psychiatry at Rockland State Hospital in Orange, New York. Tragically, he passed away at the age of 33.

Nicholas V.H. Kip ’60

As an Andover student, Nick Kip excelled on the varsity wrestling and sailing teams, receiving the “A” award his senior year. One of his most memorable moments in wrestling came when he faced off against an undefeated Exeter junior named John Irving. More than 60 years later, Kip can still recount every move of their intense back-and-forth match, which ultimately ended in a tie—a moment immortalized in Irving’s novel The World According to Garp. In June of his senior year, Kip skippered the Andover sailing team to two consecutive victories in Division B of the Interscholastic Regatta on Manhasset Bay. He continued his athletic career at Princeton University, where he competed in both wrestling and sailing.

After graduating from Princeton, Kip began his professional career teaching Latin and coaching wrestling at St. Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire. After four years, he returned to Andover, where he became a cornerstone of the Classics Department and, upon his retirement in 2022, set a record for the longest teaching tenure in the school’s history—54 years.

Kip began coaching varsity wrestling in 1968, often getting on the mat to demonstrate a particular move. As one student recalls, he kept himself “lean, tough, and very in shape for a faculty member.” In 1993, Kip stepped down from coaching due to repeated knee injuries. During his 25-year leadership, Kip coached four Prep Nationals All-Americans, five New England Prep Champions, and 35 Class A Champions, and the team earned 10 Top 3 Finishes at the Class A Championships. 

Kip’s dedication to his students, wrestlers, and the school community has had an unparalleled impact on Andover athletics and academics. “You encouraged me in ways that ultimately led to me loving the sport and excelling in it,” said former wrestler Josh Hubbard ’83. “The level of commitment to and joy for the sport you shared with us was tremendous and had a deep impact on the 14-year-old version of me.”

Tammy M. Sanchez ’91

Tammy Sanchez came to Andover as a postgraduate from Santa Fe, New Mexico, and earned varsity letters in volleyball, basketball, and softball. On the volleyball court, she dominated from the start and was named Phillipian Athlete of the Term. Reflecting on her competitive spirit, Coach Hagin shared, “Tammy is a fierce competitor. You could see it in her face after a successful attack.”

When winter arrived, Sanchez transitioned to basketball, playing a pivotal role in one of the most remarkable turn-arounds in Andover history. After a winless season the prior year, the team claimed the 1991 New England Championship. Sanchez was named MVP of the NEPSAC Girls’ Basketball Tournament, finishing as the team’s second-leading scorer while leading in steals and ranking second in rebounds. Once again, she was honored as Athlete of the Term. Coach Kennedy praised her impact, saying, “I think Sanchez could very well be the best female basketball player to ever come to Andover and the best point guard passer I have ever seen.”

In the spring, Sanchez took to the softball field, where she helped lead the team to a perfect 11–0 season.

Sanchez was recruited by several Ivy League programs and ultimately chose Brown University. There, she played a key role in securing Ivy League championships in her freshman, sophomore, and junior years. In 1994, she was named the team’s Most Improved Player and earned All-Ivy Honorable Mention honors in both 1994 and 1995. Her achievements were recognized in 2006 with her induction into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame.

Sanchez has stayed connected to Andover, returning as a volunteer coach for the girls’ basketball team. Since 2011, she has built a successful career at Merkle, a global performance marketing agency, where she recently celebrated her 14th anniversary. She is currently a senior manager, business systems analyst.

Parker W. Sides ’95

At Andover, Parker Sides distinguished himself as an athlete early on by becoming the first ninth grader to make both the varsity hockey and varsity lacrosse teams. He earned varsity letters in both sports all four years and served as captain of both teams as a senior. 

Named an All-American in lacrosse senior year, he holds both the single-season (103) and all-time scoring (239) records and played in the National High School All-Star Game in Baltimore. In hockey, he tallied an impressive 110 points over his four-year career and received the Press Club Award at Commencement.

Continuing a proud legacy, Sides was the fourth member of his family to captain Andover hockey. He and his grandfather, Bob Sides ’34, now make history as the first grandfather-grandson pair inducted into the Andover Athletics Hall of Honor. Paul Kalkstein ’61, a 2011 Athletics Hall of Honor inductee and longtime varsity lacrosse coach, reflected on his former player: “In my 19 years as varsity lacrosse coach, no one did more for the team and the school’s lacrosse reputation than Parker Sides. He was the incendiary star of his era and, as his lacrosse coach, I was blessed to have four years of his talent and leadership.”

At Connecticut College, Sides continued to excel as a two-sport athlete. He captained the lacrosse team his senior year and was named the college’s Top Male Student-Athlete of the Year. To this day, he remains Connecticut College’s all-time leader in goals (142) and ranks third in total points (197). On the ice, Sides served as assistant captain and led the hockey team in scoring his senior season.

Sides now works as a business development consultant for Manulife John Hancock Investments. He has volunteered as a youth hockey coach and for organizations such as Cradles to Crayons and Action for Boston Community Development. He also serves on the board of the Jeff Scogland Memorial Fund.
