For the second week in a row a British Columbia native tops the podium and is joined by a classmate from the heartland of America; Iowa, as our DartmouthSports.com Athletes of the week. Nordic skier Jasmine Drolet kicked off her Dartmouth career winning her first two races. Isaac Weigel came out on top in six events swimming at the Tate Ramsden Invitational.
Their efforts are rewarded by being named the DartmouthSports.com Athletes of the week.
Each week, DartmouthSports.com will spotlight two outstanding student-athletes - one male, one female - as Athletes of the Week. Student-athletes may be chosen based upon their efforts both on and off the field of competition.
