Big Green athletes prep for Olympics

By Neil Desai | July 3, 1996

In this year's centennial anniversary of the Olympic Games, six athletes with Big Green blood will be careening through the cool waters and hustling atop the scorching pavement of Atlanta this summer. Though they represent four different countries and will compete in separate events, these six athletes do possess one thing in common -- they all graduated from Dartmouth College. Marathoner Bob Kempainen '88, rowers Odd-Even Bustnes '94, Anne Kakela '92 and Ted Murphy '94 and kayakers Dana Chladek '85 and Dru van Hengel '85 will represent their countries in Atlanta this July. Marathon Perhaps the United States' best shot at a medal in the marathon is Dartmouth graduate Bob Kempainen, a Phi Beta Kappa in biochemistry and member of the varsity cross-country and track teams throughout his career at Dartmouth.

Lonergan '97 leads basketball: In three years, Lonergan has excelled on and off the court

By Sarah Hood | May 28, 1996

With a list of achievements almost as long as his 6'6" frame, Sea Lonergan '97 is The Dartmouth's Athlete of the Year. Since his arrival here from Lake Highlands High School in Dallas, Texas, Lonergan has dominated the hardwood in the Ivy League. He was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Year in 1994 and has only improved between then and now. For the past two years he has been a first team All-Ivy pick, and justifiably so, as he has also been the conference's leading scorer both years. In his three years here at Dartmouth, Lonergan has begun to build room for himself in the Big Green's record books as well. Twice named the team's MVP, he became the 19th Dartmouth player to score 1,000 points early this past season.
