The tag line with the following from the Dartmouth social media posts: Sweat Now, Shine Later seems appropriate. Click the pic to see the photos one-by-one.

David Shula's high school coach died at age 93 and the Big Green wide receivers coach is quoted in a story in the Miami Herald (LINK):

“Coach Zappone was a great leader who influenced so many of us on a positive way,” said Shula, a sophomore on that state team who is now an assistant coach at Dartmouth. “He always found a way to motivate you and hold you accountable. He’ll be missed by all of us.”

EXTRA POINT
That Certain Dartmouth '14's friend was trying to get her to sign up for the 100K Tushar Mountain Run in Utah, which is being conducted today. Ivy Leaguer that she is, she showed she was smarter than that. Instead she signed up for – and is on the course this morning – the 70K version. Gulp. That's a more more reasonable 43½ miles. ;-)

The course description includes this:

The Tushars Mountain Runs are staged out of Eagle Point Resort at an elevation of over 10,000 feet. All race distances climb to the highest point in the Tushar range, Delano Peak at 12,174 feet. Join us this July for a spectacular and brutal race you won’t soon forget.

And . . .

One of the toughest most spectacular mountain races in all of North America in a little known mountain range near Beaver, Utah. The Tushar Mountains are a hidden gem of high altitude peaks, mountain canyons, alpine lakes and stunning terrain.
