The College currently funds roughly half of the athletic department's $17 million in expenses, Ceplikas said.

Williams '13 has early success for swim team

By Priya Krishna | February 11, 2010

Charlotte Williams '13 may be new to the Dartmouth women's swimming and diving team, but early success in the pool has not been elusive for the freshman. As a member of the Big Green, Williams has already posted several first-place finishes against some of the most competitive teams in the league and continues to perform with consistency, showing no signs of letting up. Like many of her teammates, Williams began swimming at a young age with encouragement from her family. "Before I could walk, I could swim," Williams said. Williams' mother, a former competitive swimmer, was instrumental in Williams' decision to continue with swimming, she added. While Williams played a variety of sports in high school, swimming remained her favorite and was the sport she wanted to continue in college, she said. "[I wanted to swim in college] because I still didn't think I had reached my full potential in the pool," Williams said.

When not between the pipes for the Big Green, Lacina is now turning local kids' hockey fantasies into reality through her used-equipment redistribution program, Green Gear. "We just went to skate with these kids who had an outdoor rink at the school," Dartmouth women's hockey goalie Mariel Lacina '10 said. Alongside her teammate, Kelly Foley '12, Lacina quickly realized that skating lessons were the kids' last concern as they staggered around wearing worn-down equipment. "Some of them didn't have skates," she said.

The Big Green's Nordic team concluded the Carnival with the 10-kilometer free technique race, where a victory for the women and a second-place finish for the men pushed the Big Green into the lead. Returning from a two-week break and reunited with six Nordic skiers who competed in the World Junior Championships and Under-23 Championships in Germany, the Big Green traveled to Stowe, Vt., to defend its title as the Vermont Carnival winner. While Dartmouth dominated the Catamounts' carnival last year, gliding past the hosts by 120.5 points, the team struggled this year and just slipped away with its closest win of the season.

Whether ESPN chose to include the game in its daily menu of pick 'em's because of the two teams' embarrassingly bad records (Penn was 2-14 and Dartmouth was 4-14 at the time), the recent spotlight on the Ivy League due to No.
