Though he broke the record, Bolt's showboating was risky. How many times have we seen a hot-dogging football player get tackled before reaching the end zone? Or a hitter admire a sure home run, only to see the ball trickle off the wall? In 10-second race, one mistake can kill you. He should have spent those last ticks grinding toward the finish, insuring a win. "I wasn't celebrating," he says. "I was just happy." No doubt, Usain, but that was insane...
...Crimson managed another sweep against Rutgers-Newark in the Golden Dome Classic, Harvard fell in the following match against non-conference Mount Olive, the first in a three-game losing streak that threatened to spoil the Crimson’s chances for postseason play.

With her 1100 career kills and 1292 career digs, Mahon joins Melissa Forcum ’99 as only the second Crimson player with at least 1000 kills...
...Because of the spacecraft's risk-filled landing, it could have easily been a nightmare-more than half of all Mars missions have ended in failure. Sitting in the mission control room during the final moments of the descent is like riding the bench during a baseball no-hitter: no one wants to jinx the outcome, so no one says a word. "Seven minutes of terror" is how Smith described the communications blackout as the spacecraft passed through the Martian atmosphere. One flight technician fidgeted with his pen. A few others rocked back and forth in their chairs, tension lines...
