Rec League Legends

Loyal readers, our tenure as the Rec League Legends is coming to an end. I know, you are sad. We are sad. The only people who probably aren’t sad are the competitors who look good at our expense and the editors who put up with our shenanigans. We have left you with a lot of questions, but the one that we would truly like to address in this column is probably the most important: what’s next in the careers of the Rec League Legends?

Softball heads to NCAA Tournament

By Josh Schiefelbein | May 15, 2014

For its inaugural appearance in the NCAA softball tournament, Dartmouth (31-17, 18-2) travels to Arizona to compete in the Tempe Regional tournament hosted by No. 4 Arizona State University. The Sun Devils (44-10-1) drew the No. 9 overall seed in the tournament. The University of Michigan and San Diego State University round out the regional competition. The four teams will compete in a double-elimination tournament to advance to the Super Regional round, hosted on the campus of the highest-ranked team to advance from each regional.

A View from the Woods

By Kelly Wood | May 15, 2014

I vividly remember watching the women’s basketball team host then-No. 3 Duke University in the 2006 Blue Sky Classic. The heat and noise in sold-out Leede Arena was electric. The gym was alive, and cheers continued throughout the game despite the Big Green’s blowout 77-40 loss.\n When the men’s ice hockey team packs Thompson Arena for its annual home game against Princeton University, students turn out in droves to be part of our favorite tennis ball tradition.\n As NARPs, this is a way we can have a real influence on athletics. Athletes agree that they have more energy when they can feel the support of the crowd, and often play better because of it.

Whitehorn ’16 wins Heps titles across range of disciplines

By Jordan Einhorn | May 14, 2014

At the Ivy League outdoor Heptagonal Championships at Yale University last weekend, Kaitlin Whitehorn ’16 was everywhere. Running back and forth between the track and the high jump, she competed six times over the course of the weekend. After competing in the 100- and 200-meter preliminaries Saturday, she woke up Sunday with four events ahead of her: the 100- and 200-meter finals, the 4x100-meter relay and the high jump.

Club cricket team continues two-century Dartmouth tradition

By Mitch Huang | May 14, 2014

Dartmouth’s roots in American cricket tradition extend back to the late 1700s, when one of the earliest recorded games of cricket in the U.S. was believed to be played on the Green. Since then, faculty and students have routinely gathered for casual matches, forming an informal group in the 1990s. In the past couple of years, the Dartmouth College Cricket Club has enjoyed a considerable amount of growth and recognition.

Softball heads west for NCAA tourney

By Josh Schiefelbein | May 12, 2014

Sunday evening while watching ESPNU, the Big Green softball team learned that it would head to Tempe, Arizona, to play No. 9 Arizona State University in its first-ever NCAA tournament appearance. The winner of the game will play the winner of San Diego State University versus the University of Michigan while the losers will meet in the double-elimination tournament.

Inside the Locker Room

By Phoebe Hoffmann | May 12, 2014

Hanover is finally heating up as spring is winding down. The seniors are enjoying their last weeks on the Green, juniors are reminiscing about the glory days of 13X and freshmen are dreading leaving the place they’ve just learned to call home. There is one lucky class, however, that anticipates the arrival of one of Dartmouth’s best traditions: sophomore summer. From swimming and sunbathing to the occasional class (just kidding, go to class!) or road trip, it’s a different campus atmosphere than anything most of these sophomores have experienced thus far.

Women’s track and field second at outdoor Heps, men take fifth

By Jordan Einhorn | May 11, 2014

Just 13 points separated the Dartmouth women’s track and field team from the Ivy League title at the outdoor Ivy League Heptagonal Championships at Yale University this weekend. The meet was not decided until the women’s 4x400-meter relay, the final track event of the day, finished. The men’s team improved on its sixth-place finish at the indoor championships, finishing in fifth place.

Baseball falls to Columbia in Ivy League Championship Series

By Gayne Kalustian | May 11, 2014

New York -— Despite scoring first in both games, the baseball team ended its season in New York this weekend exactly as it did last year, falling to Columbia University in the best of three Ivy Championship Series. The Lions (27-17, 15-5 Ivy) took the Big Green (18-21, 11-9 Ivy) 6-2 in game one and 4-1 in game two of a Saturday doubleheader. The loss on enemy turf represents the fourth in a row for the team, leaving the four seniors — Louis Concato ’14, co-captain Jeff Keller ’14, co-captain Dustin Selzer ’14 and Ryan Toimil ’14 — without the gratification of a League title in their careers.

Rec League Legends

Hanover, it looks like you finally got it right. It’s spring outside after what feels like the longest tease since the Sox won a title and the Curse of the Bambino was finally lifted from Fenway (hey Freddie). Spring weather means one thing and one thing only: intramural softball. Though we obviously discussed squaring off against the softball team, we realized that they were probably up against other (obviously not more important) opponents after winning that whole Ivy League Championship thing for the first time in Dartmouth history. That, and we wanted nothing to do with Morgan McCalmon ’16 and her heater.

One-on-One

By Josh Koenig | May 11, 2014

This week, I sat down with Edward Wagner ’16, a star hurdler and sprinter on the men’s track and field team. At Yale University for the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships, Wagner made time to talk about his favorite events, ideal track conditions and the added pressure he felt this year as a returning medalist from last year’s Heps.

Pulse of the Sports World

By Dan Bornstein | May 8, 2014

This weekend the baseball team will play in its seventh consecutive Ivy League championship. Yet the team’s longstanding success has hardly captured the same attention as, say, the football team’s third-place finish this past fall. That’s rather jarring, considering how deeply baseball is ingrained in American sports culture, snd shows the large gap in popularity between professional and collegiate baseball.

Track teams set to compete at Heps

By Jordan Einhorn | May 8, 2014

After the women finished second and the men finished sixth at the indoor Heptagonal Championships this winter, the track and field teams look to a strong finish at this weekend’s outdoor Heptagonal Championships, hosted by Yale University.

Baseball heads to Ivy Champ. Series

By Gayne Kalustian | May 8, 2014

Dartmouth and Columbia University emerged from the carnage of an all-out battle for the Red Rolfe and Lou Gehrig Division titles last weekend, ending one of the most dramatic regular seasons Ivy League baseball has seen in years. Both teams rallied from second place deficits forged in early season play to come back and take their divisions in one-game playoffs against surprise Division competitors, Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania. This sets up a rematch of last year’s series, which the Lions won.

The D Sports Awards: Best Male Athlete

By Gayne Kalustian | May 7, 2014

This year saw major achievements for the Big Green across the athletic spectrum: three Ivy League titles already — women’s cross country, equestrian and softball — and baseball is playing in the Ivy League Championship Series this weekend along with the track and field teams heading to outdoor Ivy League Heptagonal Championships. Here at The Dartmouth, we wanted to commemorate the achievements of Dartmouth athletes and teams this past year, which is why we’re introducing the first annual D Sports Awards.
