Quick Hits

Just a couple of quick hits this morning because we are off to the Travelers Championship in Connecticut at O-dark-30 (that's for you, Holtzie). With John Daly and Padraig Harrington both teeing it up early That Certain (Rising) Hanover High Senior made it clear how much he wanted to be there to see them play before the crowds build.

Missed this yesterday but former Dartmouth jayvee quarterback Sean Furey '04 placed second in the javelin at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Oregon. Although he couldn't repeat as champion, Furey likely punched his ticket for the World Championships in South Korea in September. He was 12th in the world in 2009. Find a story here.

Interesting story in our local daily yesterday about Dartmouth student-athletes and social media like Facebook and Twitter. The gist of the story is that kids will be kids, but they need to be careful with what they post. The piece includes quotes from Big Green Athletic Director Harry Sheehy and football captain Tim McManus among others. Unfortunately it is not online.
