Dartmouth tennis hosts summer invitational tourney

|

As is typical of the summer, Dartmouth has hosted few athletic competitions recently, but from July 14-17, collegiate tennis players from across the country descended upon Hanover to compete in the Dartmouth Intercollegiate Tennis Association Summer Tournament. With no college tennis teams currently in season, players competed individually and not for their respective schools.

Fitness center obeys compliance in hiring athletes

|

College is expensive. From room and board and unbelievable textbook prices to an extensive wardrobe of Big Green gear and multiple late-night delivery charges from EBAs, the dollars can start adding up for any Dartmouth student. In order to help alleviate some of these financial woes, many students look for jobs during the summer months, with students on campus during sophomore summer often turning to the College itself as an employer. But for the student-athletes participating in Dartmouth's varsity sports teams, the road to summer employment is paved a little differently than it is for the non-student-athlete. The College itself does not have any special protocol for on-campus employers when it comes to hiring student-athletes.

'09 swimmers maintain momentum during summer term

|

While most Dartmouth sophomores are spending their summer alternating between classes, trips to the river and hanging out on the green, the members of the men's swim team are waking up early and training to improve upon last year's record (2-10, 0-8 EISL). They are readying themselves for a difficult and strenuous winter season where daily practices will be even more demanding and exhausting than they have been in the past.

Three members of class of 2007 named academic All-Americans

|

Dartmouth student athletes are expected to excel both athletically and academically. In some cases their hard work on both fronts pays off, as shown by College Sports Information Directors of America's recent recognition of three Big Green athletes as Academic All-Americans. Nick Bonacci '07 of the men's lacrosse team was named to the first team, while Whitney Douthett '07 of the women's lacrosse team and Lindsay Mann '07 of the alpine ski team were both named to the second team. Bonacci was a three-year starter for the lacrosse team at attack and finished his senior season leading the team with 20 assists, and was third on the team in total scoring with 45 points.
