Men's Swimming and Diving | Tufts finishes second at NESCAC championships

March 1

The Tufts men's swimming and diving team started its season with one date above all circled on its calendar: this weekend's 12th−annual NESCAC Championships, held at Williams College in Williamstown, Mass. After finishing only 237 points behind the Ephs at least year's tournament, the 24 Jumbos competing at NESCACs had high hopes that this would finally be the year that they would break through and claim their first−ever conference title.

Bear with me for a second because I'm going out on a limb here. Just call me Homer Simpson about to jump Springfield Gorge. Weeks before March becomes madness, I'm making a snap judgment, and believe me that it's going to come true. Don't need facts, because this is coming from the gut.

Athletes of the Week

February 28

Andrea Caruth, Women's Track and field -     In the next-to-last meet before the NCAA Championships, Caruth turned in some of her best performances of the year at this past weekend's All-New England Championships.     Caruth, a junior, posted a time of 58.58 seconds in the 400-meter dash, a personal record for the third-year. Yet, in running on the banked track of Boston University, Caruth's time was adjusted up by four-tenths of a second, bumping her showing past the 58.64-second provisional qualifying time necessary to race in the NCAAs in the upcoming weeks.     Caruth also ran the second leg of the 4x400-meter relay squad, which turned in a ninth-place finish, 11 seconds behind first-place Connecticut. Caruth teamed up with senior co-captain Andrea Ferri, sophomore Kayley Pettoruto and junior Kaylee Maykranz to post a time of 3:59.16, though the final mark was adjusted by 1.6 seconds, which once again caused Caruth to miss the NCAA qualifying time.     Caruth's efforts helped the Jumbos tie for 16th place at the meet and will have her final chance to qualify for NCAAs this weekend at the ECAC Championships.

I told myself I wasn't going to write about it. I told myself that, when Tiger Woods finally emerged from his self−inflicted divot and addressed the media about his various transgressions, I would keep my opinions to myself. After all, who am I to condemn one of the most dominant athletes of my time, a person who's inspired millions of people and made even more in dollars?

Inside NCAA Basketball | Kentucky highs and Carolina lows

February 22

Nearly a year ago, the North Carolina Tar Heels (UNC) were on top of the world. The storied program had just won its fifth national championship — its second out of the last five years. Senior forward Tyler Hansbrough had completed his mission of bringing his school a title. It was a storybook ending, and perhaps a sign of things to come for one of the strongest basketball programs in the country.
