Early day as we are headed into Hanover to (hopefully) grab seats on the fan bus to the Ivy League championship women's basketball game at Columbia this afternoon. ...
No football today but a couple of fun items. First, for a pretty good list of "famous" or important Dartmouth graduates, check out this site. Lots of people on that list that I didn't know were from Dartmouth. Warning: clicking through that site to see lists of grads from the various schools can be addicting.
A few years ago Dartmouth played Notre Dame on Memorial Field and I had a little fun writing the story. No, I'm not that old. It was the Dartmouth lacrosse team playing the Irish on the football field. The two schools met up again yesterday in Atlanta with Notre Dame breaking open a close game in the second half and going on to a 19-7 win before a whopping 5,180 fans. The game was played at The Lovett School, which sent nose guard/shot put silver medalist Adam Nelson and two-time captain/safety Clayton Smith to Dartmouth. You never know, but maybe the next great Big Green player from Lovett was in the stands yesterday.
And finally, that certain Hanover High School sophomore finished 34th of 261 yesterday in the Shamrock Shuffle 5-K. She won her age group and was fourth woman overall, but wasn't happy with her time until she found out that the course had been mismeasured and it was 2/10 of a mile too long ;-). Kudos to that certain HHSS's mom, who ran her first 5-K!
