|

The tri-meet with Harvard and Brown last weekend was cancelled, but some of Dartmouth's track and field athletes went to Princeton instead to compete in the Sam Howell Invitational. Six athletes from the men's and women's teams took first in their events, with athletes from Princeton, Rutgers and The College of New Jersey making an appearance. For the men's team, the strongest showing was in the field events.

2003 World Series prediction: Oakland over St. Louis

|

It's spring, so that can only mean one thing -- the start of the Major League Baseball season. Here is a rundown of the top contenders to make the 2003 World Series. Anaheim Angels I'll start with the defending champs (yes, you weren't dreaming last fall, the Angels actually did win the World Series). Anaheim may have been the least active team in all of baseball this off-season, as it was content to retain the entirety of its lineup from last year's squad. Why mess with a good thing, right?

Women's water polo trying for repeat title

|

The Dartmouth women's water polo team (7-1-0) is looking to capture the latter half of back-to-back New England championships after crucial victories this past weekend over MIT, Wellesley, Bates and Boston University.

Equestrian is excellent in taking first place at Dartmouth show

|

The Dartmouth equestrian team captured the championship at its home show at Morton Farm last Saturday. "We haven't had a home show victory in a number of years so this one was particularly sweet," coach Sally Batton said. Dartmouth's stunning home performance is even more impressive because of the work that team members put in before and during the show.
