Geoghegan ’14 and Whitehorn ’16 set records

|

The men’s and women’s track and field teams broke two more school records this weekend at Boston University’s Valentine Invitational. For the first time this year, a sprinter set a new Dartmouth record as Kaitlin Whitehorn ’16 broke the Dartmouth record in the 60-meter dash with her time of 7.60 seconds, ahead of the 7.64 record set last season by Mollie Gribbin ’16, who transferred to the University of Nebraska this year. Will Geoghegan ’14 put his name on the record boards for the third time this season, this time in the 3,000-meter run. His time of 7:51.57 broke the 29-year-old record of 7:54.60 set by Jim Sapienza ’85. His time earned him second in the event, falling to Harvard University senior Maksim Korolev by .05 seconds.

Postgrad Puck

My team, the Toronto Furies, was gearing up for its first road trip of the season, a two-game slate against the Montreal Stars. Still battling to fit in as a rookie, I never know whether I’m going to dress. The coaches wait until after Wednesday night practices to send out the lineup for the upcoming weekend. Fortunately for me, I was told I would suit up, and boy was I excited to play, especially against my former teammate Camille Dumais ’13. Of course, I would need to adjust my game a bit, since I was accustomed to setting her up for goals. This time around, I would have to look for her in order to incapacitate her abilities to pull a fast one on me or my teammates. I was determined be the one with bragging rights.

More than a Game

People bet on all sorts of things when the Super Bowl comes around — the halftime score, the coin toss, the MVP and, of course, the victor — but probably only a handful of people predicted the outcome we saw on Sunday night at Super Bowl XLVIII.

Swim meets come down to the wire

The men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams competed in a close meet on Saturday at the University of Connecticut, both contests resting on the final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay. While the women secured a nail-biting 154-146 victory, the men were narrowly edged out by UConn 152.5-147.5.

Dartmouth beats Princeton 5-3

|

Just under six minutes into the first period of the men’s hockey game against Princeton University on Saturday, the sellout crowd at Thompson Arena erupted, raining down tennis balls and a lone fish onto the ice. The Big Green men, especially goal scorer Grant Opperman ’17, celebrated, batting the balls around the rink as the baseball team shuffled out onto the ice to collect the debris.

Track teams continue to set records

|

Dartmouth runners broke a school record for the fourth time this season this weekend, this time in the men’s distance medley relay. Friday’s 9:37.33 time run by John Bleday ’14, Phil Gomez ’17, Steve Mangan ’14 and Will Geoghegan ’14 at the Pennsylvania State University narrowly eclipsed the old mark of 9:37.61, which was set in 2006.

Women’s hockey is swept but remains in eighth in ECAC

|

The women’s ice hockey team dropped games to both Quinnipiac University and Princeton University this weekend on the road. Despite the fact that the Big Green (7-15-1, 6-10-1 ECAC) lost to both teams earlier this season, players were confident coming into the weekend on a three-game win streak.

This week, I sat down with Dana Giordano ’16, a member of the women’s track team, to discuss her distance medley relay team’s record-setting performance Friday night at Pennsylvania State University. Finishing with an impressive combined time of 11:02.21, the fierce foursome earned themselves a spot in the NCAA Championships.

Men’s hockey faces tough weekend slate

This weekend, the men’s hockey team is set to face two very different teams. The Big Green will play No. 3 Quinnipiac University, the second-placed team in the ECAC, on Friday and will then host Princeton University, a team that has lost seven of its last eight games, Saturday night.

Pulse of the Sports World

|

The role of student-athletes in an increasingly business-oriented college sports world has been thrust back into the spotlight this week as Northwestern University quarterback Kain Colter, together with former University of California at Los Angeles football player Ramogi Huma, announced the establishment of the College Athletes Players Association. The group aims to give athletes a greater voice in NCAA policy, and would essentially function as a labor union. Among the demands on its agenda: prevention of brain injuries, scholarships that cover the full cost of tuition, funding for continued education and guaranteed retention of scholarships for athletes whose careers are ended due to injury.

Geoghegan ’14 sets Ivy, Dartmouth records with sub-four mile

|

Will Geoghegan ’14 did not consider running Division I track until his sophomore year of high school, when he quit baseball, his primary sport at the time, to start outdoor track. Last weekend, Geoghegan achieved the runner’s holy grail, running a sub-four-minute mile, suggesting that the switch was worth it.
