The Tufts wall−sit record has been crushed once again — and this time, it's a woman who has earned the illustrious honor of being wall−sit champion.
In very few sports do Tufts teams compete with and beat Div. I schools on a regular basis. The men's squash team, however, is one of those teams, maintaining a ranking in the top 25 nationally for the past 10 seasons alongside D−I powers such as Stanford, Brown and Northwestern.
It won't be easy, senior co-captain Sam Read admits, for the men's track and field team to replace what coach Ethan Barron in the spring called "one of the best classes to ever suit up" for the Jumbos.

Fresh off its best season in a decade and its most successful campaign since joining the NESCAC in 2001−02, the ice hockey team isn't ready to let up just yet.
With graduations, transfers and injuries, teams rarely look the same from year to year. A team's star player one year often gives way to a gaping hole in the squad the next.
