Inside the Locker Room

My first piece of gear was a tank top designed by the team captain with “Dartmouth Squash” written on the front and “Caughey” written across the back. I was obsessed with it. As a walk-on, I was nervous about becoming part of the team, but with the tank I felt like I was officially a member.

By Jehanna Axelrod | April 6, 2014

Dartmouth’s crew teams opened their spring race seasons this Saturday away from Hanover, with the women’s number one boat taking first place. The women drove to Boston to face University of Minnesota and Rutgers University, the men’s lightweight team trekked to Princeton, N.J. where it took on the University of Delaware and the men’s heavyweight team traveled to Overpeck Park, N.J. to compete against the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the College of the Holy Cross and Columbia University in the Alumni Cup.

Rec League Legends

It looks like spring has finally sprung here in Hanover. With warmer temperatures come two things: shorts and huge Dartmouth athletics home weekends. This past Saturday was one of those epic days where you can roll out of bed and go to games until you’re ready to get back into it. (Okay, we understand the first game was at noon, but lets be real, that’s when you roll out of bed, right?) These are the days Austin and I live for, right behind the day of the Granite League softball championship game and the final round of Masters.

One-on-One

By Katie Jarrett | April 6, 2014

This week, I sat down with softball pitcher Kristen Rumley ’15, who has 11 wins on the year for the 18-13 Big Green. The Texas native leads the Ancient Eight in wins, strikeouts and saves. Rumley has 128 strikeouts in the early season, 51 clear of University of Pennsylvania junior Alexis Borden. After two two-game sweeps this weekend, the Big Green leads the Ivy League at 8-0. Last week, Rumley was awarded her second Ivy League Pitcher of the Week award of the season.

The student-athlete question

By Josh Koenig | April 6, 2014

On March 26, as Dartmouth students trudged through lingering piles of snow on the third day of spring classes, student-athletes across the country had more than just the distant promise of better weather to celebrate. In Chicago, a regional director for the National Labor Relations Board ruled that football players at Northwestern University could be considered employees of the institution, giving them the right to unionize and bargain collectively — a landmark ruling for the college athletes’ rights movement.

A View from the Woods

By Kelly Wood | April 3, 2014

Growing up, I always knew Dartmouth was a good school. My image was not characterized by the world-renowned faculty, unparalleled study abroad opportunities or alumni. I knew Dartmouth because of sports. I’m from Etna, 15 minutes east of campus — a townie, some would say. As the daughter of a sports reporter who covered the Big Green, I went to a lot of games. I mean, a lot of games. Now a senior and former Dartmouth athlete, I find myself reflecting on what it was like to grow up in the shadow of the College on the Hill.

Track team hits road for Sam Howell

By Jordan Einhorn | April 3, 2014

Coming off an indoor season where six track and field athletes earned All-American honors, records were shattered, one runner eclipsed the sub-four minute mile barrier and one woman became the first female runner to win both the 3,000 and 5,000-meter run in back-to-back indoor championship meets, expectations are high for the outdoor season.
