Thrower and women's lacrosse player are tops this week
A Dartmouth study has indicated that climate change is causing the number of homeruns to increase in major league baseball this spring. Whether there is something to it or not, senior Jake Dalton is throwing the hammer farther than he ever has, breaking the school record four times in one meet. Sophomore Katina Christensen tossed three balls into the opposing net for the women's lacrosse team, adding two assists for good measure in a victory over the Brown Bears.
Their efforts are rewarded by being named The Richards Group 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.
