Silent but deadly, Annis '97 shoots to kill on court

|

If one were to describe Sally Annis' relaxed philosophy on life, it might be the same as Ben and Jerry's-- "If it's not fun, why do it?" Annis' decisions to play basketball, to go to Dartmouth and even to be an engineering major were based on whether or not she would have fun.

Soccer team prepares for fall

|

Just because over half the women's soccer team is off campus this summer, that doesn't mean playing doesn't continue for the Big Green women who are preparing for the upcoming fall season. The eight varsity sophomores who are in Hanover for the summer not only engage in running workouts four days a week and weight training three days a week, but also meet three days a week at Sachem fields to play pick-up games. "It's pretty much intended for us to get out there and get our feet on the ball," Cindy Goodwin '97 said.

Basketball player Lonergan '97 jumps to new level

|

If basketball player Sea (pronounced 'Shay') Lonergan '97 had been told that after two years at Dartmouth he would establish himself as the top preseason pick for the top Ivy League player, he most likely would have laughed. Lonergan is far from laughing at that idea now as he sits poised to lead the Big Green this winter on a journey they hope will end in an Ivy League Championship. "It's been like a dream," Lonergan said.

|

Afterspending the pastfour weeks waking up at 5:30 a.m. to head down to the river for a two and one half hour practice, Julie Pett-Ridge is not only ready forthe Olympic Festival, but is also well deserving of the honor. "I'm definitely on a different schedule than anyone else," said Pett-Ridge '97 who has been rowing up to five hours per day in preparation for the event, which will take place from July 21 to 23.

New cross country coach named

|

The recent naming of Ellen O'Neil '87, assistant coach forwomen's cross country and track and field, to the position of varsity head coach for women's cross country will have little effect on the Big Green running program. O'Neil, who has been coaching at Dartmouth for three years, will continue performing many of her former tasks, except now she will have a new title. "Basically Ellen has been the cross country coach for the past three years," said women's track and field coach Sandra Ford-Centonze.

Big Green athletes train hard all summer long

|

While some students have decided to be more relaxed abouttheir studies this summer, many Big Green athletes remain intense about their workouts. Though summer training is optional, players feel the pressure to continue intense workouts so Dartmouth will excel come competition time. "We lift four days a week and we run three days a week," football stand-out Brian Larsen '97 said.

Tennis MVP Fuller '97 gains confidence in his game

|

Matt Fuller '97, the Big Green tennis team's most valuable player who helped lead the squad into the NCAA regional playoffs, is not flashy, but that's because he doesn't have to be. Fuller spent much of this season wearing his opponents down with his slow and deliberate style of playing, rather than trying to outgun them. "He is a very steady player and he is relentless with a match," Men's Tennis Coach Chuck Kinyon said.

|

After a season filled with individual as well as team success, the Big Green men's golf team continues to receives awards for last spring's accomplishments. Last week, the New England Golf Association named MacKenzie Hurd '98 and recent graduate Bryan Kim '95 to its All-New England Division 1 golf team.

Crew races over break, makes national impact

|

After a disappointing finish in the Eastern Sprints last May, the men's heavyweight crew team wanted to make amends and last week it did just that at the annual Intercollegiate Rowing Association race in New Jersey. "I think the varsity team went in disappointed with sprints and wanted to prove themselves," Coach Scott Armstrong said.
