Dartmouth grad competes against international kayaking elite

By Molly Malone | January 27, 2005

Kristen Podolak '01 is currently representing the United States at the World Freestyle Kayak Championships in Penrith, Australia. During the competition, the world's best kayakers attempt to perform the biggest, most impressive, and most consistent tricks in their boats on a hydraulic at a whitewater park. Freestyle differs from the Olympic slalom event in that boats are much shorter and the focus is placed on the kayaker's ability to master skills like 360-degree "cartwheels" and moves that launch body and boat into the air with a clean landing. Podolak first learned to kayak on her freshman DOC Trip in 1997.

Men's swim team conquers Mexico, Big Green-style

By Justin Neiman | January 17, 2005

There are few Dartmouth athletes fortunate enough to attract fans outside of the Upper Valley. Aside from Jay Fiedler '94, Cherie Piper '06 and a few Olympians from the ski team, Dartmouth competitors remain relatively anonymous with respect to their athletic pursuits outside of the Ivy League. While the accomplishments of Dartmouth's aquatic juggernauts often stay within the confines of the Karl Michael Pool, members of the varsity swim team recently travelled to Acapulco, Mexico for a training trip and found a large following in a very unexpected place. When the varsity men's swim team crossed the border for their annual winter training trip this past December, they were met with a shockingly large number of Mexican fans. "We got off the bus at the IMSS Aquatic Center, and were greeted by a crowd of Mexicans cheering for us.
