In response to women's history month, the East Wheelock Cluster sponsored a panel of female athletes last night to speak on "the past, present and future of women in sports," according to Undergraduate Advisor Dave Grelotti '96. Grelotti, along with the other East Wheelock Cluster UGAs and Associate Director of Athletics Joann Harper, planned the event and chose the three female athletes and one coach who spoke. Field Hockey Coach Julie Dayton, Kate Andrews '96, Sally Annis '97 and Sarah Billmeier '99 spoke on their experiences as women in the Dartmouth athletic program. Andrews, co-captain of this past year's women's soccer team, spoke of what athletics does for a woman. "It's a character builder," she said.

By Eric Petitt | May 15, 1996

For those who don't know, the Dartmouth ultimate Frisbee team, a club sport supported by only a $500 per year stipend from the athletic department, wrapped up its best season in 10 years this spring ranked 30th nationally -- quite an improvement from 95th last year. This year's team is heavily manned by '99s who have been working hard to learn the tools of the trade.
