Heavies beat Orangemen, take home Packard Cup

|

In yet another impressive weekend of competition, the Dartmouth men's heavyweight crew defeated Syracuse for the Packard Cup at Onondaga Lake in New York on Sunday. With an unbroken streak dating back to 1991, this was the Big Green's 13th straight victory over the Orangemen at the Packard Cup. Syracuse fell victim to the Big Green's all-star boat in the first varsity competition.

Ausmus '91 produces Gold Gloves and success for Astros

|

Brad Ausmus '91 admits that his Houston Astros teammates like to joke about where he went to college and "make fun of the prototypical Ivy League student that you see in the movies: smoking a pipe, wearing a sweater vest." It is difficult, however, to hold a pipe while wearing a Gold Glove, and the former Dartmouth government major has one for each hand. For the last two years, Ausmus has won the Rawlings Gold Glove Award, becoming the first catcher in Houston history to receive the honor, and establishing his reputation as one of baseball's elite catchers.

Cycling team finishes season as the Ivy League's best

|

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.
