...performance,” Clarke said after the event. “I swam faster at our meet in Georgia [in December] and at Ivies.” Papadakis finished her Harvard career in style, notching her highest-ever NCAA finish—17th place in the 3-meter event, just one place shy of becoming an All-American. She won the 1-meter event at Ivies. Co-captain Jackie Pangilinan turned in another impressive season as the Crimson’s top breaststroker, rewriting her 100 breaststroke school record (1:03.25) and collecting her third 200 breaststroke title...
...former went on to be an Olympian. Christensen hopes to join Gyorrfy in representing her country on the global stage, traveling to Eugene, Ore. for the USATF qualifying trials at the end of June. At the indoor NCAA Championships earlier this year, Christensen matched her personal-best 1.83 meter clearance in dramatic fashion. Despite having trouble with the clearance at 1.80 meters, Christensen made it on her third attempt and then promptly tied her best on the first try. She ultimately finished fourth in the event. In addition to receiving All-American honors for her jump at the NCAAs, Christensen...
...case, the time just took care of itself.” But what characterized Chenoweth this season was his gutsy attitude towards running. He showed no hesitation in testing his pain threshold in the pursuit of victory. At the outdoor Heptagonals at Yale, Chenoweth fell at around the 2000-meter mark in the 5000-meter run.

Although the crew battled to take the lead halfway through the race, strong sprints from the Midshipmen and the Hoyas around the 1500-meter mark caused the Crimson to fall into third place by the time the boats came across the finish line. In its last race before Eastern Sprints, Harvard again came in third place, this time behind Ivy League foes Yale and Princeton. The Tigers were awarded the Goldthwait Cup for winning...
...resistant to many of the tropical diseases to which dogs succumb. In the field, they are quick and methodical. Thirty-six rats trained in Tanzania are working on the project so far, and have already cleared thousands of mines across the country. "Two rats can clear a 200-square-meter area in one hour," says Mkumbo. "It takes one [human] de-miner two weeks to do the same area." And all that the rats ask in return is tasty food. When Samo signals the presence of a mine by scratching the ground, Emmanuel, his handler, presses a clicker which makes...
