Big Green track and field teams begin outdoor season on top

|

Jared Bookman / The Dartmouth Staff Despite extremely windy conditions and bad weather, the Big Green found success in both track and field events during its first two outdoor competitions of Spring term at the Brown Invitational this past weekend and the Sam Howell Invitational at Princeton the weekend before. At Princeton, Big Green not only walked away with six first-place finishes, but also a new school record, an NCAA Regionals-qualifying throw and four IC4A-qualifying performances. Emily Daly '09 smashed the previous College record to pieces with her hammer throw of 59.34 meters -- almost 2 meters farther than Dartmouth's previous record.

'Steady and crafty' fencer named to conference All-Star team

Dave Seliger '12 was en garde last week as he battled his competition to secure an impressive record at the Northeast Intercollegiate Fencing Conference, leading him to be named to the NIFC's All-Star team. Conference commissioner Dr. Elliot Lilien said that Seliger earned this award because he is a "steady and crafty" fencer with a strong record in league competition. The recognition is rarely granted to Dartmouth athletes.

Smith '11 continues to improve after record-breaking year

|

Every pitch counts for Big Green closer Ryan Smith '11, who enters games knowing that hanging even one curveball or walking one batter could mean the difference between a win and a loss for Dartmouth. Smith has resisted the pressure well, breaking the Dartmouth team record with seven saves last season, a mark he recenlty tied this year. With all seven of Dartmouth's saves this season, the right-hander has an overall ERA of 4.86 and an ERA of 2.16 against Ivy League teams, the lowest among the Dartmouth pitchers.
