Still More Snow And Ice

Freshman Katharine Ogden of Landgrove, Vt., won her second – and Dartmouth's fourth – individual national championship on the final day of the NCAA's at Steamboat Spring, Colo., capturing the 15K freestyle. She also won the 5K classical. Earlier in the week, sophomore Tanguy Nef won the slalom and senior Brian McLaughlin the giant slalom.

Jay Greenberg has a terrific look at how former Princeton quarterback Chad Kanoff might have been viewed at his Pro Day in the Tigers’ bubble HERE. Columbia also had a Pro Day in its bubble. (LINK). No idea if Penn is using its bubble for a Pro Day for receiver Justin Watson, but it is being used for spring practice, which began Feb. 26. Lots-o-bubbles, no?

The STATS look at CAA football in the spring includes this:

A 15th straight appearance in the FCS playoffs appears to be a formality for the (New Hampshire) Wildcats. With 18 returning starters (eight on offense and 10 on defense), they may surpass last year's run to the national quarterfinals. Senior quarterback Trevor Knight is coming off a breakout season . . .

New Hampshire is not on the Dartmouth schedule this fall but barring a change, the incoming freshmen will play UNH in Durham on Oct. 16 of their senior year.
