Annual Snow Plunge



So here are a couple of pics from the teams annual snow plunge. The challenge this year - lack of snow!! Hard to believe the mid-Atlantic states are buried. They forecast up to 8 inches yesterday - final total - 1/4" - and that may be generous. so no snow angels, or snow ball fight, but we "plunged" anyway.


Best,
DA

7 Sisters Cheers


We were excited to host the 7 Sisters Championship this year. This is a great 2 day championship that embodies the best of competition and sportsmanship. On Saturday night all the athletes and coaches get together for a banquet were the teams intermingle at the tables and get a chance to talk about each college and program.

On Sunday there are a couple of long standing traditions including a 7 Sisters Cheer that is led by the seniors (pictured on the right) and the hokey poky!

This years meet produced some great races and each team won at least 1 event.

Mount Holyoke's Joanie Burton ('12) walked away with the 200 fly and then anchored the 400 free relay, which won by almost 3 seconds and shattered the previous college record by 2 seconds. The relay consisted of Lindsay Schonborn '09, Lydia Bowers '11, Nora Cunningham '12 and Burton. For some reason I am unable to upload their picture. I'll try again tomorrow.
