Big Green captains emphasize leadership and communication

|

Mulin Xiong / The Dartmouth While each Big Green team has a unique policy for electing its leadership and dictating responsibilities, many captains have similar experiences in their roles. Whether they are juniors or seniors, co-captains or tri-captains, Big Green captains take pride in their position, are honored to be elected and work hard to help the team succeed. Typically, the entire team votes for the following year's captains when the season ends.
