The Scheier Hire

It's taken some time, but a Bowling Green coaching bio has gone up for Adam Scheier '95, the former Big Green safety who will be co-special teams and tight ends coach for the Falcons. Scheier heads to Ohio after seven years on the Lehigh staff. He started his coaching career at Dartmouth with the undefeated 1996 team as a member of an outstanding staff that spawned future head coaches Tom Gilmore (Holy Cross), Roger Hughes (Princeton) and Pete Lembo (Lehigh and now Elon). Scheier also had stints at Columbia and Princeton.

At BGSU Scheier will work under head coach Dave Clawson. Former Penn Quaker Mike Elko is also on the staff.

Bob Ceplikas, the Dartmouth deputy athletic director who will serve as interim AD for a year upon the retirement of Josie Harper, is relinquishing his duties as head girls ice hockey coach at nearby Lebanon High School. Cep coached the Raiders to the state championship game this winter and leaves after posting a 38-25-1 record in three years.

The Big Green in the Desert is an original idea; a Dartmouth-hosted event held not in the snows of New Hampshire (although the track is now clear) but in Arizona. In this year's Big Green Desert Multis, Dartmouth's Tim Wunderlich took third in the decathlon behind a couple of Oregon athletes. Rocco Pallin was the top Dartmouth finisher in the women's heptathlon, placing sixth. Find the results here. Athlets from Oregon, Northern Arizona, Saginaw Valley, Utah and Montana competed in the multievents.
