As a senior in 1983, Moira Teevens was the Globe’s All-Scholastic female athlete of the year in track and field. When she was inducted into the Silver Lake Athletic Hall of Fame in 2009, presenter Steve Duggan, said “she was truly one of the most dedicated, successful female athletes that Silver Lake Regional High School has produced.”
And, of course, the reason the story is referenced on this page:
Moira Teevens (Nobili) followed her older brother, Buddy, to Dartmouth College, and while the latter established his greatness on the gridiron, Moira was a three-time All-Ivy League selection in cross-country (1984-86). Upon her graduation in 1987, she held records in the 1,500, 3,000, 5,000, and distance medley relay.
Running has been at the forefront in the Nobili household for a long time. Izzy’s older sister, Madaket, who also starred at Nauset, is a junior on the cross-country and track teams at Dartmouth, where Buddy is in the second stint of a 20-plus-year tenure as football coach of the Big Green.

Green Alert Take: I've written about this before but when Moira Teevens was running at Dartmouth I was the college's assistant director of sports information and one of my responsibilities was to grab the 35mm Nikon and shoot team photos. It could be a thankless task trying to get the lacrosse, crew or cross country teams to line up and get the shot. Think herding cats.
Making it even harder, in the days before digital cameras it was critical to take a number of photos to make sure no one was looking away, making a face, hand signaling or whatever.
One day I was sent out to Hanover Country Club to shoot the women's cross country team and there wasn't much interest in assembling and posing for the picture. After a few minutes of frustration, Moira realized I needed a little help. To this day I remember the entire team falling into line when she read them the riot act. She had coach written all over her even back then.

EXTRA POINT
Remember what was written in this space one week ago today? I'll remind you:
Our emerald green lawn is overrun by shockingly yellow dandelions and you know what? Although the lawnmower will take care of that tomorrow it really does look beautiful today.
I take it back. Not the bit about how pretty the dandelions look when they are in full bloom. It's what comes afterward that isn't very beautiful. In fact, it's downright ugly.
Even though I mowed the dandelions down they've now shot their puffs up all over our lawn. And I mean all over it.
I'm glad we're not in a neighborhood where passersby will shake their heads at our less-than-manicured yard because it means I can spend my afternoon in front of the TV rooting for Lefty to somehow hold on and win the PGA. The puffs can wait until tomorrow, and if they happen to blow away they won't infiltrate a nearby neighbor's lawn for one reason. There aren't any. Nearby lawns, that is!
