Add to yesterday's list of Ivy Leaguers headed to pro camps the names of Penn linebacker Erik Rask, a "camp invite" with the Jaguars and Harvard defensive lineman Josue Ortiz, who has a "tryout" with the Jets.

A story in the Dartmouth today about fifth-year seniors in various sports includes quotes from Luke Hussey, who returned to the Big Green last fall while finishing his engineering studies, and Patrick Lahey, who will be a fifth-year senior next fall.

The Herald in Everett, Wash., has a story about Sam Shober, a linebacker who once thought he would end up at Dartmouth and instead is walking on at Stanford. From the story:"I thought I'd come back and be done with this whole process and then nothing happened," Shober said of his trip to Dartmouth. "So I came back and I was like 'Crap!' It was pretty disappointing. I had all of these choices and then all of a sudden I had none."
But there was still Stanford.

Speaking of walk-ons, Dartmouth football has added an intriguing one in Daniel Gorman, an athletic 6-foot-4 wide receiver who played high high school ball across the street from Memorial Field and confirmed yesterday that he will be walking on for the Big Green. Also a promising kicker, the Hanover High standout made the all-state first team as wide receiver for the second year in a row, was first-team all-state in basketball, pitches and bats cleanup for the baseball team, captains all three sports and will be playing both in the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl and the CHaD East-West New Hampshire all-star game. Here's a look:

As long as the subject is talented Hanover High athletes, they don't get much more talented than Peter Williamson, who became just the third golfer ever to win the Ivy League individual golf championship three times yesterday although the honor was bittersweet as the Big Green lost the Ivy title in a playoff.

Kudos to the Dartmouth baseball team for clinching its fifth Rolfe Division championship in a row, a remarkable achievement for the Ivy League's northernmost team. The Big Green, which seemingly had no chance to host the Ivy League Championship Series as recently as a week ago, nearly pulled it off but instead will play at Cornell next weekend for the Ivy title after taking three of four games from Harvard. Dartmouth had the tying run on second base in the one-run loss to the Crimson with no one out.The Big Green tied with Cornell for the best record in the conference, but the Big Red holds the tiebreaker after taking 2-0 and 5-2 wins when the teams met in Ithaca. Dartmouth has gone 18-3 since then.
