THIS WEEKEND
The Dartmouth women's track & field team heads to the 2019 Ivy League Heptagonal Outdoor Championship hosted by Princeton at Weaver Stadium.

AT PRINCETON
•   Based on the league's site rotation, this is the first time back at Princeton since the 2016 meet.
•   The Big Green finished fifth that year with 81 points.
•   At that meet, Dana Giordano '15 won both the 1500m and 5000m, while Kaitlin Whitehorn '15 was the champion of the high jump.
•   For Whitehorn, it was her Dartmouth-record third straight title in the event, as she was the first woman from Hanover to win the event since Laura Morrell claimed two in 1979 and 1980.
•   In winning both titles that year, Giordano set a new precedent in each: She became the first Ivy League woman ever to win the 1500m title in three straight seasons and just the third ever on either the men's or women's side to accomplish the feat (Dartmouth's Donald Burnham did so in 1942-44, while Harvard's Mark Mullin was the last to do so in 1960-62). She also became the first Ivy League woman ever to win both the 1500m and 5000m in the same year.

LAST YEAR
•   Dartmouth was sixth last year at Franklin Field in Philadelphia with 62.5 points.
•   Leading the way for the Big Green was then-sophomore Cha'Mia Rothwell, who won the 100m hurdles as she ran a 13.24 in the final, setting a new Ivy League meet record as well as breaking her own Dartmouth record to earn the title and her team another 10 points in the standings. In the process, she claimed her second All-Ivy League honor of the weekend, a first team honor to go along with her second-team recognition in the long jump from Saturday.
•   Julia Valenti was second in the pole vault and earned All-Ivy League Second Team honors in the process. Brooke Brunet was third in the event to help add to Dartmouth's Day 1 point total that placed the team in second heading into Sunday's events.

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN 2019
•   Dartmouth has had several impressive efforts at non-scoring meets this spring, including at Georgia Tech, North Florida and Virginia.
•   In scoring meets, the Green won at home on April 12 with an incredible 235 points against competition from UMass Lowell, Hartford and Vermont.
•   A week earlier, a group went to Amherst and placed second at the Minutemen Invitational hosted by UMass, accumulating 144.5 points along the way.
