By D.J. Gelner | August 4, 2003

With the Major League Baseball season winding down, and the passing of the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, several contenders made bold moves to improve their clubs for the stretch run, while others decided to stand pat, citing fiscal constraints and a general lack of talent available with so many teams in the thick of the wild card race.

Armstrong grabs fifth straight Tour de France victory

By Zachary Goldstein | July 29, 2003

It was his toughest win yet. But when Lance Armstrong rode down the Champs-Elysees in the yellow jersey for a record-tying fifth consecutive time on Sunday he permanently secured his position among the great cyclists in Tour de France history. The 31-year-old Texan joins Spanish great Miguel Indurain as the only two riders to have won cycling's most grueling and prestigious race five times in a row -- a record Armstrong will look to break next summer. "It's a dream, really a dream," Armstrong said in French to the media after once again ascending the Paris podium in yellow.

Golf: Possibly a healthy alternative to class

By Jesse Klempner | July 3, 2003

As someone for whom going to class this term can best be described as a secondary activity, I've decided I should invest the mental energy normally directed to my primary reason for being at Dartmouth into what has overtaken academics in importance -- golf. I've been playing more than is healthy, seriously.

This year was the 23rd annual running of the event and saw the largest and most competitive field to date.

By Elliot Olshansky | May 23, 2003

Editor's Note: This is the third in a series of articles profiling former Dartmouth sports stars currently playing professionally.

However, despite her status as a first-round draft pick, McVeigh seemed just as ready to return to Hanover for her senior spring to finish up her Dartmouth coursework as she was to embark on a professional soccer career. Now, though, as the spring term winds down in Hanover, McVeigh's rookie season with the Charge is in full swing.
