Rec League Legends

February 17, 2010

Winter Carnival is over and the Legends lived to tell the tale. The Legends get a lot of requests from Big Green athletes, but this was the most romantic one. Kelly Hood '12 and Liz Blanken '13 of the women's field hockey team sent an elaborate E-Greeting card to the Legends which said, "Double-date with some Leverone legends?" The Legends, always looking for love, could not resist the ladies' charm and agreed to the date. Hood is from Berlin, N.H., but moved over to Holderness for her high school years, where she was introduced to field hockey by Gordon Bombay of "The Mighty Ducks." After learning the knuckle-puck from Keenan Thompson is Kel still alive?

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.
