Bios, Cont'd

Still another batch of bios on the Dartmouth football page have been updated. Here's a chosen highlight from the 2012 season taken directly from this latest group:

Senior safety Garrett Waggoner . . . recipient of the Bob Blackman Award, given to the Big Green player who contributed most to the success of the team

Sophomore defensive end Sawyer Whalen . . . sidelined for most of the season by an injury

Junior offensive lineman Scotty Whitmore . . . earned a starting slot at right tackle for all 10 games during the season

Junior linebacker Eric Wickham . . . opened the season starting at the strong-side linebacker position

Sophomore quarterback Dalyn Williams . . . Ivy League Rookie of the Year, giving Dartmouth seven since the inception of the award in 1981, most in the conference

Sophomore wide receiver Victor Williams . . . appeared in all 10 games as a reserve wide receiver, tying for fourth on the team in receptions with at least one in eight of the contests
Boise State football coach Chris Petersen brought in a local rugby team to work with his team on safe tackling. LINK Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens has looked to rugby in the past . . . but not for tackling. What were they working on? Perhaps time will tell ;-)
Former Dartmouth distance runner Alexi Pappas '12, is the subject of an interesting story headlined Peculiar fashion meets extreme talent on the ESPN website.
