Tracksters compete at ECAC/IC4As: Manwaring, Winchester, Nelson bring home wins from meet

By Sarah Hood | May 20, 1996

Kristin Manwaring '96, Amy Winchester '96 and Adam Nelson '97 each added another feather to their caps this weekend at the ECAC/IC4A championships at George Mason University. On Sunday Manwaring blew away competition in the 1,500 meters, clocking 4:23.00 for the easy win. Luckily for the egos of her competitors, she ran her fastest time on Saturday in the qualifying heats, a blistering 4:18.94. Her time breaks her own school record, but more importantly is good enough to automatically qualify her for the NCAA Championships and the U.S.

By Eric Petitt | May 15, 1996

Everyone has seen this die hard bunch with their multicolored flying saucers in hand, practicing "hammer" tosses and long cuts come rain or shine on the Green.

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.
