Louden, N.H. -- Following the lead of men's captain Todd Yezefski '04, the Dartmouth Cycling team took home the Ivy Cup last weekend, marking the first time since 1981 that Dartmouth is the premier cycling team among its Ancient Eight competitors. The Big Green cyclists put themselves in prime position to repeat as the nation's Division II champion by augmenting the lead they brought into the Eastern Cycling Championships this past weekend in eastern New Hampshire. Entering the weekend, Dartmouth was third in the Ivy League, 14 points behind the Harvard Crimson and four behind Princeton -- deficits that set the stage for a dramatic finish to the Easter Collegiate Cycling Conference (ECCC) regular season. The rain and cool temperatures during the road race on Saturday didn't deter men's A rider Michael Barton '03 from breaking from the pack and out-working the field to take first place. Yezefski sprinted the legs off the chasing peleton to finish third, followed by Tim Clement '05 and Bing Knight '05, who finished 11th and 12th, respectively. The duo of Kristina Eaton '04 and Amy Wallace '04 also pulled out 11th- and 12th-place finishes, respectively, in the women's A field despite mechanical trouble and a shortened race due to the inclement weather. Breyton Osgood '03 couldn't fight off the lactic acid buildup in his legs to hold off the other riders in the final climb of the men's B field, finishing five seconds off the leader in sixth place.

Mother Nature was not particularly kind to the Big Green baseball team this weekend, as Saturday's rainstorm left Dartmouth to play its four-game series with Yale on Sunday and Monday at Yale Field, with a game at Boston College scheduled for yesterday afternoon.

On Sunday, the Big Green and Bulldogs opened the first game on even footing, as each team scored a first inning run.

"I felt I had a shot at winning the tournament individually, but I made some bad decisions on the final nine holes," Christman said.

Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of articles profiling Dartmouth alumni in professional sports. For Mike Remlinger '88, a road trip to New York used to mean taking the mound at Andy Coakely Field, a 300-seat venue tucked away in a corner of Columbia's Baker Field Athletic Complex. Just over 15 years later, as another generation of Dartmouth baseball players prepares to make the trip to Coakely Field, Remlinger puts on his Chicago Cubs uniform in the visitors' clubhouse at Shea Stadium, preparing to take the mound against the New York Mets in front of 17,244 fans. As far as he's come, however, Remlinger doesn't make much of the contrast.
