Track and field sets best times at Valentine Invitational

|

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.

Figure skaters take gold at Boston

|

Courtesy of Ben Bostick The Dartmouth figure skating team, the defending National Champion, started its competitive season off on the right skate at Boston University this weekend, besting 16 teams to emerge victorious after 17 hours of competition. The competition was the first of two contests that will determine which three Eastern teams will qualify for the Figure Skating National Championships, which will take place in Ann Arbor, Mich., in early April. Though Dartmouth took the ice with just 12 skaters, the Big Green took a decisive victory of 103.5 points.

Hodes knows best

Last Saturday, feeling thoroughly exhausted and lazy, I decided to stay in and watch Will Smith's "The Pursuit of Happyness"(2006). When I went to bed, I had hoped to wake up early and pursue my own form of happiness, proper spelling and all. With a purposefully light schedule this term, I had planned to go skiing multiple times each week, only Mother Nature hasn't been willing to cooperate.
