The track and field teams split up this weekend, heading to California for the Mt. SAC Relays and invitationals at Yale University and Princeton University.
The men’s lacrosse team was defeated 9-3 by the No. 10 University of Pennsylvania Quakers on Saturday afternoon at Scully-Fahey Field in a game controlled by tough defense.
Loyal readers, real spring in the Northeast is finally upon us and you all know what that means: 50 degree temperature changes, puddles in places that defy both logic and gravity, Red Sox baseball, the Bruins in the playoffs and, most importantly, a sport we can all participate in: Marathon Monday in Boston.
This Friday I sat down with the baseball team’s second baseman Thomas Roulis ’15 to talk about the team fighting out of an early-season slump, his professional idol and his ideal superpower.
For many, the Boston Marathon represents the pinnacle of personal and athletic achievement. The race starts in Hopkinton, Mass., the course winding through Wellesley, up Heartbreak Hill and across the Boston finish line. On Monday, at least seven Dartmouth students -— Isabel Caldwell ’14, Erik Fagerstrom ’14, Oscar Friedman ’16, Annie Hart ’14, Catherine Meyer ’14, C.J. Pierce ’14 and David Sinclair ’14 — will be among the thousands of runners who will participate in this year’s edition, one year after the tragic bombings that led to three deaths and hundreds of injuries in 2013.
Coming off of a pair of crucial Ivy League wins, including a dramatic third set tiebreaker, the men’s tennis team heads into the weekend with an opportunity to lock up its best Ivy finish in over a decade.
During the indoor Dartmouth Relays, nestled between collegiate races, is a very special race: the Grafton County One-Lapper. The race, in which children take to the track, is one of the most uplifting things I’ve witnessed.
Followed every step of the way by its new unofficial mascot named Axel, a stuffed Dartmouth bear sent by a fan, the club figure skating team took third place at the U.S. Figure Skating Intercollegiate Team Championships last weekend in Adrian, Mich.
The Concato name doesn’t hang in the Baseball Hall of Fame. The family holds no Division I record and is represented by no athletes in the major leagues. In fact, when brothers Louis Concato ’14 and Mike Concato ’17 were born to two New York University-educated physicians, it seemed more likely that they would grow up to perform open heart surgery than open an inning on the mound.
Note to readers (May 23, 2014): When The Dartmouth found that Jake Bayer '16 had fabricated a quotation, we decided to remove his articles from our website. For a full statement, clickhere.
In the women’s lacrosse game Monday, Hofstra University’s goalie Kelsey Gregerson stopped two shots in the final 30 seconds to secure a 9-8 Pride (6-8) win. The Big Green (5-7, 2-3 Ivy) was done in by a 1-3 day in free position shots and 12 turnovers in its final non-conference game of the season.
The track and field teams competed in two meets this weekend, with some athletes attending the George Mason Spring Invitational and the majority of the teams heading to Durham for the Wildcat Invitational at the University of New Hampshire.
I walk to the locker room precisely three and a half hours before each game. And every time, my hands start to shake, and questions begin racing through my head: Is my team ready? Am I ready? How will the game turn out? Stress is probably a familiar emotion to most Dartmouth students. Picture students fumbling through notes to cram in a few last-minute equations before an exam, hearts pounding.
Well, loyal readers, it finally happened. The spring finally came and, with it, the best day of the year: “Sports Day.” During “Sports Day,” classes are canceled (because it’s always on a Saturday), social events are enjoyed (often on porches) and friends come together to cheer on Dartmouth sporting events and throw every chirp they can possibly imagine at opposing teams from lesser colleges and universities.
This week, I sat down with Robbie Anthony ’14, a center on the men’s rugby team and former wide receiver on the football team. Anthony transferred to Dartmouth after his freshman year at Clemson University and joined the rugby team after the Big Green’s football season ended with a win over Princeton University. Anthony recently helped the rugby team defeat Harvard University for the Ivy League Championship and his former squad in the Champions Cup.
The men’s lacrosse team (1-8, 0-4 Ivy) dropped its sixth consecutive game on Saturday, a 13-10 loss to No. 17 Princeton University. Last season, the team upset the Tigers 10-9, but this time around, the Tigers (7-4, 2-2 Ivy) came out firing, ripping 31 shots in the first half en route to 53 in the game.
With the fate of the season on the line, the Big Green baseball team stepped into Biondi Park for back-to-back doubleheaders this weekend against Red Rolfe Division leader Yale University (13-18, 6-6 Ivy), settling for a 3-1 split. The weekend series made one thing clear: the Big Green offense has broken free from its early season frustration and is looking for blood.
While many of Dartmouth’s almost 1,000 varsity student athletes were recruited to join their teams, a small percentage of those who represent the Big Green on the field, court, rink and water chose to join their respective teams after they arrive on campus. Walking onto a Division I varsity team is no easy task, and each team treats potential members a little differently.
After the women’s lacrosse team fell to the University of Pennsylvania 10-6 in a rematch of last year’s Ivy League tournament championship game, both players and coach had the team’s character in mind. With this loss, the Big Green drops to 5-6 on the season and 2-3 in Ivy play.
