A New Name

With early decision letters out Dartmouth and the other Ivies are now building their regular-season classes – and the Big Green's class just grew by one. Add to the list of high school seniors heading this way the name of Darian Leon-Guerrero, a 6-foot, 190-pound “athlete” from Vacaville, Calif.

The 247Sports site calls him a "hard commit" HERE and reports he also holds offers from Harvard, Princeton, San Diego, Valparaiso and Davenport. Leon-Guerrero's Twitter feed has a video and numerous congratulations on his decision HERE. On his Twitter he describes himself as, "RB/WR/DB/ATH GPA 4.0"

Leon-Guerrero was a Sac Joaquin Section North Fall Player of the Year and was selected for the Bay Area Showcase Game.

Here's an interview before he made his college selection:

Leon-Guerrero is also a sprinter on the Vacaville track team.

EXTRA POINT

After making the difficult decision not to travel last December, That Certain Dartmouth '14 is coming home for Christmas. Hooray! Fully "boosted," she "tested up" before she left and will test yet again back east. But enough about that part of the story.

Here's the fun part. TCD'14 and her significant other flew to Boston on the same flight (he's from Massachusetts). And get this. They walked to the airport! I mean, who does that?

TCD'14 lives in a quiet neighborhood in Gunnison and the airport is just close enough that a couple of fit hikers could actually walk there.

They are at his house today and I'm just gonna guess they didn't walk there from Logan ;-)
