Track and field teams take top spots at Snowflake Invitational

|

Dartmouth men's and women's track prevailed in the Snowflake Invitational at Tufts University this past weekend, as both teams placed first out of thirteen schools. Big Green athletes posted 11 first place finishes in various events to contribute to winning scores of 223 for the men and 196.5 for the women. The meet's name was appropriate as temperatures reached the low teens and gusting winds posed a challenge to every event at the outdoor meet. "The meet went very well in terms of our overall team score," men's coach Barry Harwick said.

Dartmouth Kiwis kick New Zealand into Olympics

|

While most students were busy cramming for final exams at the end of Winter term, two Big Green athletes were in Fiji accomplishing something far more impressive than beating the median in class. Craig Henderson '09 and Dan Keat '10, members of Dartmouth's men's soccer team, helped their native New Zealand qualify for the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing. Henderson and Keat were instrumental in helping New Zealand win the Oceania Football Confederation's Olympic qualifying tournament, held on March 1-9 in Lautoka, Fiji. Keat helped set up the winning goal in the first game against Fiji, but was sent off on a controversial red card in a game against Vanuatu and missed the rest of the tournament due to a suspension. Henderson had a goal against the Solomon Islands to secure the win and virtually guarantee the Oly-Whites' spot in the 29th Olympiad. This marks the first time that the Oly-Whites have qualified for the Olympics in soccer.

Team to Beat: The Boston Red Sox. It's odd to think, after growing up as a fan witnessing the hapless trials and travails of the Red Sox, that we are now in an era of Red Sox dominance, but it seems to be the case.

Dartmouth's men and women's track and field teams escaped the mud and snow of Hanover this spring break, traveling to Scottsdale, Arizona to take advantage of the warmer climate before the spring season begins this weekend. In Arizona, the squads had the opportunity to gauge their progress when they each competed in the Baldy Castillo Invitational hosted by Arizona State University on March 21-22. The meet was not scored and will not count toward the Big Green's overall meet record. The Arizona State Sun Devils, who compete in the Pacific 10 conference, are the newly crowned men and women's indoor track and field champions.
