Advancing to the finals in the 1,500 were Will Geoghegan '14, who is finishing his career as an Oregon graduate student, and Norwich, Vt., product Andrew Wheating, who won the race. Wheating ran for Oregon after former Dartmouth men's basketball coach Dave Faucher recognized his potential running a time trial as a high school soccer player.

Green Alert Take: Yet again, a former Ivy League athlete who is not allowed to compete as a grad student at his undergraduate school is listed as a transfer at his new school. At the newspaper I wrote several stories about Dartmouth grads who very much would have preferred to complete their careers at Dartmouth but weren't allowed to do so by Ivy rules. To a person, they were rankled by the "transfer" nomenclature, which they thought suggested an unhappiness with Dartmouth that did not exist.
