Brad Wall '02 is going to the Winter Olympics. Not hopefully, or eventually, or someday -- he's going next year.
The Dartmouth men's and women's swimming and diving teams shared the pool at Middlebury Wednesday night, competing simultaneously in separately scored meets against the host team.

A combined team of Dartmouth and Brown track and field stars snagged a decisive 21-16 victory over athletes from Oxford and Cambridge last week in Cambridge, England at the Americas Match. The meet, which concluded June 28th, is an outgrowth of a tradition that began in the 1890s between Harvard/Yale and Oxford/Cambridge and was soon picked up on by other members of the Ivy league. Dartmouth and Brown jumped on the bandwagon in 1985 and have since paired up every four years for the overseas meet. Competitors from Dartmouth were all top-six finishers at May's Heptagonal Championships at UPenn.
Jeff Sloves '02 was a fixture at No. 2 singles this year for the men's tennis team, second only to graduating captain Rob Chen '00.
Although sparse in numbers, the track and field team journeyed to New Jersey this past weekend for the 124th IC4A Track and Field Championships and the 17th ECAC Women's Division I Track and Field Championsips, both hosted by Princeton May 18-21. "A lot of people were pleased with how Heps went and wanted to end their seasons on a good note there," said women's co-captain Margie Van Orden '00, referring to the Heptagonal Championships held last weekend at the University of Pennsylvania. Team members, who did make the trip to Princeton, made strong showings,as they competed in a field of over 1000 athletes representing 81 IC4A teams and 69 ECAC teams. Brooke Derham '02 posted the Big Green's best overall finish of the weekend, with a fourth-place showing in the javelin at 135-0. Allison Cardlin '01 secured fifth in the shot put (45-11 1/4), and Betsy Beck '00 took eigth in the pole vault at 11-3 1/2. For the men's team, Adam Horst '00 turned in a fifth-place performance in the decathlon, amassing 6,467 points. Teammates Matt Markell '01 (6371 points) and Joe Kimpel '03 (5983 points) finished in seventh and ninth place, respectively. Also scoring for the Big Green was Ryan Padilla '00, who ran the 5000 in 14:41:23 to take eigth place overall.
After battling their way to a third-place finish in the petite final this past weekend at the Eastern Sprints in Connecticut, the women's varsity eight's season hangs in limbo until this afternoon, when they will hear if their performance was enough to qualify them for next weekend's NCAA Championships. "The petite final was a really exciting race," varsity co-captain Anna McCall-Taylor '00 said.
