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

|

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.

Minnesota and Moss battle Eagles, destiny on Sunday

|

Allow this writer to hearken back to the days of yore -- 1998, to be precise -- when the football gods came down and manifested themselves as the Minnesota Vikings offense. That was the year that Minnesota, led by Randall Cunningham, rookie sensation Randy Moss, Cris Carter, John Randle and many others, went 15-1, shattering the single season team point total while surrendering the fifth fewest points in the league. At the same time, Gary Anderson established a league record by making every single field goal in the regular season, logging 40 in a row in the 1997-8 season. They should have easily made it to the Super Bowl that year, where I guarantee that they would have dispatched the Denver Broncos handily.

Suspicions of steroid abuse tarnish homerun king's reign

|

With the recent release of Yankee slugger Jason Giambi's grand jury testimony against the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative (BALCO), Major League Baseball has found itself in a heated controversy over the prevalence of steroids among the league's top players. Naturally, one cannot help but place San Francisco Giant and current single-season homerun record holder Barry Bonds at the top of the most-juiced list. Since his 1986 MLB debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Bonds has hit over .300 in 11 seasons and earned 12 All-Star appearances.

Dartmouth athletes' garner weekend league honors

|

This past week has been a successful venture for Dartmouth athletes -- for their outstanding performances, Big Green competitors were honored with several prestigious awards. Elise Morrison, the sophomore center of the Women's Basketball team and last year's Ivy League Rookie of the Year, received her second Ivy League Player of the Week honor after contributing 17 points and 13 rebounds to Dartmouth's 73-70 overtime victory over Harvard on Saturday. Earlier this season, the starting center recorded 29 points and 10 rebounds in a game against Hartford and recorded a double-double against Harvard, Hartford and UIC.
