2014 Classic Teams Reunion to Feature Julie Lenhart's Softball Teams

Julie Lenhart has been SUNY Cortland's highly successful softball head coach since 1995, and her Red Dragon squads from the past 20 years will be honored during the C-Club Classic Teams Reunion on Friday, Sept. 12, in the Lynne Parks' 68 SUNY Cortland Alumni House.

The C-Club Classic Teams Reunion honors noteworthy teams or groups representing SUNY Cortland's rich history of athletics. Previous honorees have included national title-winning squads as well as combinations of teams coached by legendary Cortland coaches.

Lenhart has a combined record of 665-255 (.722) at Cortland, in addition to a 120-77 mark in five years as head coach at Wisconsin-Platteville from 1990-94. She has led the Red Dragons to eight State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) titles and 13 NCAA Div. III tournament appearances. Her Cortland squads have advanced to the NCAA Div. III World Series seven times, including a national runner-up finish in 2013 and a fourth-place finish in 2011.

Lenhart has earned regional coaching honors eight times and is a four-time SUNYAC Coach of the Year. She will be inducted into the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Hall of Fame during the organization's annual convention December 3-6 in Las Vegas.

The Classic Teams Reunion is part of the C-Club Hall of Fame Weekend. The C-Club Hall of Fame will induct seven new members on Saturday, Sept. 13.
