The Crimson earned ninth for the fourth time in as many competitions this season, notching its ninth consecutive ninth-place result since 2006. Another team in a rhythm, Dartmouth secured its fourth carnival victory this winter, edging out Middlebury by a mere nine points with a final of 616. Harvard totaled 187, ahead of St. Michael’s College and Bowdoin College. Competing outside of the Ivy League, the Crimson faces...
