Track and field teams take top spots at Snowflake Invitational

Dartmouth men's and women's track prevailed in the Snowflake Invitational at Tufts University this past weekend, as both teams placed first out of thirteen schools. Big Green athletes posted 11 first place finishes in various events to contribute to winning scores of 223 for the men and 196.5 for the women. The meet's name was appropriate as temperatures reached the low teens and gusting winds posed a challenge to every event at the outdoor meet. "The meet went very well in terms of our overall team score," men's coach Barry Harwick said.

Dartmouth Kiwis kick New Zealand into Olympics

While most students were busy cramming for final exams at the end of Winter term, two Big Green athletes were in Fiji accomplishing something far more impressive than beating the median in class. Craig Henderson '09 and Dan Keat '10, members of Dartmouth's men's soccer team, helped their native New Zealand qualify for the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing. Henderson and Keat were instrumental in helping New Zealand win the Oceania Football Confederation's Olympic qualifying tournament, held on March 1-9 in Lautoka, Fiji. Keat helped set up the winning goal in the first game against Fiji, but was sent off on a controversial red card in a game against Vanuatu and missed the rest of the tournament due to a suspension. Henderson had a goal against the Solomon Islands to secure the win and virtually guarantee the Oly-Whites' spot in the 29th Olympiad. This marks the first time that the Oly-Whites have qualified for the Olympics in soccer.

TOE TO TOE: Schmidley

Team to Beat: The Boston Red Sox. It's odd to think, after growing up as a fan witnessing the hapless trials and travails of the Red Sox, that we are now in an era of Red Sox dominance, but it seems to be the case.

Bartlett Hall undergoes redesign, modernization

Within the aged brownstone walls of Bartlett Hall, the upper two floors -- which have languished for nearly 40 years without improvements -- has undergone extensive construction during the past eight months. Bartlett houses the department of Asian and Middle Eastern Languages and Literatures and the Arts and Humanities Resource Center, which offers language resources to students and assists faculty with research and media presentations. The construction has modernized and redesigned the upper floors of the building. "It needed a complete overhaul of the electrical, air conditioning, wireless and Ethernet infrastructures," said Otmar Foelsche, director of the resource center.
