The Glove

By David Glovsky | February 20, 2008

Everything I know about sailing I learned at age nine during my first year of summer camp. Unfortunately, the experience did not lead to a future in competitive sailing, but my lack of expertise did drive me to figure what exactly goes on with our own Dartmouth sailing team. In an attempt to get to the bottom of this elusive sport, I recently sat down with All-American Betsy Bryant '08. With no opinion on the matter, I asked Bryant why sailing was a sport.

Women's basketball loses footing in Ivy League title race

By Kevin Liao | February 19, 2008

The Dartmouth women's basketball team led by over 10 points in one game and trailed by over 10 in the other midway in the second half of each game of its New York Ivy swing, but the final outcome was the same in each as the Big Green fell to Columbia, 58-55, and Cornell, 50-43. Dartmouth (8-14, 5-3 Ivy) slipped from its first-place tie in the Ivy League standings to a third-place tie with Columbia (8-14, 5-3 Ivy), while Cornell (15-6, 7-1 Ivy) seized sole possession of first place, with Harvard (13-9, 6-2 Ivy) one game back. It was a rough weekend for Dartmouth, as both captain Kristen Craft '08 and Koren Schram '09 were ill in what may have been the deciding weekend for Dartmouth's Ivy title aspirations. "Cornell and Columbia are both tough teams to play on a very long road trip," Craft said.

Track and field sets best times at Valentine Invitational

By Allen Odeniyi | February 14, 2008

Kasia Vincunas / The Dartmouth Staff Competing against over 2,500 athletes, Dartmouth's men's and women's track and field teams saw strong results this past weekend at the 2008 Valentine Invitational held at Boston University. At this point in the indoor track and field season, all victories are at the individual level, as the meets do not assess team scores. At the Valentine Invitational, Dartmouth's men finished with a number of encouraging times and victories. Brian Evans '08 finished 14th in both the 55-meter and 200-meter dashes with times of 6.58 seconds and 22.20 seconds, respectively. "[He] looked very good in [the 200 meter], it was his fastest time of the season," men's head coach Barry Harwick '77 said. "[Evans is] a young man who gets ready for the big meets," women's head coach Sandra Ford-Centonze said.

The Dartmouth figure skaters appear to be well on their way to the National Championship after defeating 16 Eastern opponents on Saturday.
