Senior Peacock-Villada named Ashe Sports Scholar

By Jennifer Yu | May 11, 2005

College senior Elizabeth Peacock-Villada was recently named an Arthur Ashe, Jr., Sports Scholar for 2005. "I feel extremely honored to win this award, particularly because of the limited representation of the Ivy League schools in the pool of award recipients," Peacock-Villada said. The Sports Scholars award was established by the Black Issues in Higher Education to honor undergraduate students who are competent in a collegiate sport, maintain a grade point average of at least 3.2, and participate in campus or community activities actively. The humble track and field tri-captain, whose biggest influences in life are friends and family, was surprised to win the award. "I was very surprised.

With fourth-place finish, sailors cruise to Nationals

By Jon Kling | May 10, 2005

The Big Green dynasty that is the Dartmouth sailing team once again stood up to snuff and defended its name this weekend against 18 other teams in the 64th annual New England Dingy Championships. The sailors pulled together a last minute rally through 25 knot winds and rain to grab fourth place overall and the last qualifying spot to Nationals by just a single point. As you may have noticed, the weather this weekend was not what most of us would call pleasant.

Princess Layout heads to Nationals

By Matthew Mackey | May 9, 2005

Dartmouth's ultimate teams had a full schedule the last weekend of April, with the men's and women's A-teams playing at regionals in Portsmouth, R.I., and the B-teams playing at Williams College. The women displayed a dominant level of skill at regionals, defeating Brown 15-5 in the finals to secure the top seed from the region to College Nationals, and the men came excruciatingly close to securing a Nationals bid in a 15-14 nail-biter against Harvard. The women, who came to Regionals uncertain of their standing vis--vis some of the other top teams in the region, left with a strong confidence in their abilities, after thrashing the competition on both days. Their strength was epitomized by their Sunday game against Brown, as Princess Layout -- the women's A-team -- shut down Brown's offense and shredded its zone defense in what was widely regarded as Dartmouth's best performance of the season. The team's finals win was spearheaded by stellar defensive efforts from co-captain Lorraine Ferron '05 and Lakshmi Narayan '06, rock-solid handling from co-captain Brooking Gatewood '05 and a seemingly perpetual deep threat from Ariel Dowling '05.

Greeks combat apathy at sporting events

By John Mitchell | May 6, 2005

Some members of Dartmouth sports teams often see more faces in the crowd at their Saturday night pong games than at their Saturday afternoon Division 1 athletic contests. To combat this perceived imbalance, the Greek Leadership Council, the Interfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Council and others have been working on ways to employ popular Greek events to boost attendance at games. Two members of Alpha Phi Alpha have spearheaded the crowd-boosting efforts.
