The Dartmouth sailing team took big strides toward reclaiming a top national ranking after a big four-event weekend that resulted in solid finishes in women's, co-ed and team races.

Big Green lightweight crew sweeps Holy Cross and BC

|

The Dartmouth lightweight rowers swept Sunday's regatta on Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Mass., in a race featuring Holy Cross and Boston College. The tightest race of the day came in the varsity lightweight eight competition where all three boats were within a few feet of each other for the 2,000 meters.

Houston and St. Louis lead battle for NL pennant

|

Throughout Florida and Arizona lockers are being cleared out, trucks are being packed and players are finally spending more time on the baseball field than the golf course as teams prepare to end spring training and begin Major League Baseball's regular season. While this time of year is usually littered with hackneyed phrases like "On opening day, every team is in first place!" or "At the beginning of the year, everyone is in playoff contention," these clichs have historically served little more purpose than to fill up a sentimental piece about the smell of peanut shells and grass that emerge with the dawn of every new season. However, after consecutive championships by the mid-to-small market Angels and Marlins, it seems as though for once these empty words hold some meaning.

Mygatt and Chenel excel in international ski race

|

Jennifer Mygatt '04 faced the steep course and cold Greenlandic coastal winds with the words of fellow-racer Fabian Mauz in her head: "If you can't find something to smile about you might as well shoot yourself." It made her laugh as she was forced to herringbone up another hill of the formidable terrain in conditions that, on that first day of the Arctic Circle Race Sunday, March 28, could be called challenging at best. "It didn't let up a lot," Mygatt said.

Big Green laxers enter heart of Ivy League schedule

|

In the summer of 2002, Elizabeth Right '04 made a bold prediction for herself and her Dartmouth lacrosse teammates -- that they would win a national championship. "In the next two years, it will be done," Right said. With the 2004 season in full swing, the Big Green women are out to fulfill Right's prophecy, but with the NCAA tournament more than a month away, there's another championship on their minds: Dartmouth's eighth Ivy League title in 10 years. In that regard, so far, so good. After a competitive spring break schedule that included trips to nationally-ranked Stanford and Maryland, the Big Green are 4-2 (2-0 Ivy) and in the heart of their Ivy League schedule.
