In each of the Big Green men's two losses, Tim Vipond '05 and co-captain and individually nationally ranked no.

Dartmouth men's basketball ready for Ivy League

By Kyle Jazwa | January 28, 2005

The Dartmouth men's basketball team has had a rollercoaster season marked by tremendous highs and disappointing lows. Coming off an abysmal 2003-2004 season, expectations were decidedly low, even with the addition of new head coach Terry Dunn. Leading what was just recently named the 66th greatest basketball program in the nation, mainly as a result of the Green's Ivy League and national dominance in the 1930s and '40s, Dunn had a daunting task ahead of him as he strived to return Dartmouth basketball to its glory days. Steve Callahan '05 commented on his expectations for the 2004-2005 season along with the coaching change, saying, "We expected to have a strong season.

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.
