Women's basketball wins after placing third in Seven Sisters The members of the Swarthmore Women's basketball team recently attended their annual family reunion. This get-together is a traditional event where Swarthmore and co-Little Ivies Mount Holyoke, Wellesley, Vassar, Bryn Mawr, Smith, St. Joseph's of Connecticut (invite), and our old favorites Haverford gather together in the style of all family gatherings, with tensions high and a fighting attitude in the air. This year was no different
Women's swimming ends semester undefeated, men end 4-2 As most people on this campus are solely focused on finals, both the men and women's swim teams have ended the first semester of the swim season on a high note. At Western Maryland, there was no question that Swarthmore would remain on top. The men won 56-25 and the omen won 64-27. The men swept the meet with individual winners; trying to match that score, the women managed to win all but one of the individual events.
Garnet hoops bounce to 2-6 season The Swarthmore College men's basketball squad started their season off by going 1-1 in the Equinox Classic, an annual season opener for both the Garnet as well as the Haverford Fords. Their opening game against Randolph Macon (11/19) resulted in a 56-53 loss.
Outdoor IM soccer concludes The intramural soccer competition officially ended the Sunday before Thanksgiving break. In an epic, well- contested match, Curious George and the Junk Monkeys beat the Fabulous Faculty and the Stupendous Staff by a score of 2-1 to emerge as the champions of the semester-long intramural soccer competition. For their prize, Curious George and the Junk Monkeys will be presented with a set of T-shirts with the words "Intra-mural champions" proudly inscribed in the front.
Wrestling undaunted by small roster ndaunted by impoverished numbers, the Swarthmore College wrestling team swept with three convincing victories this weekend in a home quadrangular tournament. The wrestlers beat Centenary College 37-18, SUNY Maritime 25-18, and Valley Forge Military Academy 36-18.
Indoor track and field starts season at Seton Hall Invite Last Sunday at the crack of dawn, the men's and women's indoor track and field teams headed off to their first invitational, going north on the New Jersey Turnpike. In about 90 minutes, the team ended up in South Orange, NJ. Despite a couple of incorrect turns, the team eventually arrived at Seton Hall University for the Seton Hall Invite.
NFL playoff picture coming into focus With just four games left in the season, the pieces of the NFL playoff puzzle are falling into place. Presently, six playoff spots are up for grabs from each conference for the ultimate chance to play in the Super Bowl on January 30th in Atlanta. While the experts are picking the Jacksonville Jaguars from the AFC and the St. Louis Rams from the NFC, do not pencil in these two teams quite yet.
I'm still weighting Two years ago, when I was just a spec deciding whether to attend Swarthmore, I was seduced with fanciful stories of a glorious new athletic center. I was told that the state-of-the-art facility would be up and running by my freshman year so that I could begin turning my puny physique into a temple. Well, two years have passed, the athletic center is not yet completed, and my body is feeling more like Papazian than a temple.
