Kikut sisters excel after transition from skiing to sprinting
Competing as full-time sprinters for Dartmouth’s track and field team was not what sisters Anna and Sara Kikut ’16 had in mind when they first came to the College.

Surprise! Despite what the weather may indicate, it’s actually April, meaning we’re in the heart of the spring season.
A loss assigned to a pitcher is — in a perfect world — supposed to indicate fault. At times the loss can be telling of a pitcher’s performance, but it can also be a misleading statistic — a sting felt by no one more than Chris England ’15 last Tuesday after taking the start against Boston College. The Big Green ultimately dropped the game 2-0 to the Eagles, but fault in this case goes beyond the simple winning and losing pitching record as England, in 6.1 innings, allowed two runs — one earned. “You just go out there and you try and pitch well every time,” England said.
A boy from Panevezys, Lithuania, has taken over Dartmouth basketball. No doubt you’ve seen the SportsCenter Top 10 highlight by now — a Yale University player swats a full court in-bounds pass from Miles Wright ’18 out of bounds with 1.9 seconds to play. Down by one, Dartmouth is given one last chance. There is little talk about the game-winner itself, and even less about the player that shot it. But that’s just fine by Maldunas. All that mattered to him was his family in the stands. ?
The softball team won all four games in doubleheaders against Princeton University and Cornell University this past weekend, breaking .500 for the first time since late February and improving their record against Ivy League schools to 7-1. ?

For the first time this season, the women’s softball team squared off against Ivy League opponents last weekend, playing doubleheaders against the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University on Friday and Saturday, respectively. \n On top of winning three of the four games, the highlight of the weekend was a remarkable pitching performance by Kristen Rumley ’15, who on Saturday became the fifth Dartmouth softball pitcher to throw a no-hitter in program history in the first game against Columbia. \n Rumley started the weekend pitching against Penn, allowing two runs and striking out four players through five and one-third innings and was relieved by Morgan McCalmon ’16, who came in, closed the game 3-2 and earned the first save of the season.
Spring term has finally arrived and with it the return of some of the Big Green’s most successful programs.
This weekend, the men’s tennis team will commence the Ivy League slate of its 2015 season.
At every high school reunion, you will always find that one jock who peaked in high school and can’t seem to let it go. He always comes back wearing his old varsity letterman’s jacket with his hair combed just a little too perfectly, and he’ll start off every conversation with “you remember the time when...” before delving into some long story no one else remembers. This guy will probably still be reliving the “glory days” at the next reunion — and every reunion after for that matter. Some people just can’t accept that they are on the decline, and they just refuse to exit the game gracefully.
Over the spring interim, the women’s tennis team traveled to California and Texas to compete in five matches with teams from across the country. The Big Green brought home two wins — against the University of California at Irvine and the University of Denver — while falling to California State University at Northridge, Long Beach State University, and the University of Houston. The women now enter conference matches with a 13-3 record and ranked No. 29 in the nation.
How does one write a lede for a string of brutal spring interim away games, an Ivy opening day doubleheader against the defending League champions and a pair of games the very next day which were both decided in the final half innings?
After a long and dreary winter, the spring interim period provides many Dartmouth students a chance to get outside and enjoy some time in the burgeoning sunshine.
Unlike previous years, when the men’s lacrosse team travelled during the spring interim period, first-year head coach Brendan Callahan continued to work with the team in Hanover this past week.
