Chaw ’17 shines at bat in early softball season

By Josh Schiefelbein | March 25, 2014

Every time she steps up to the plate, Karen Chaw ’17 performs the same small routine. “Measure out the plate, twirl my bat a little, swing and hope I hit,” she said.

By Gayne Kalustian | March 25, 2014

The heavyweight crew team piled on a bus for its annual 1,000-mile trip to Oak Ridge, Tenn., this spring interim, escaping Hanover’s icy weather to row on a flat 2,000-meter course for five hours every day.

As winter lingers in Hanover, the Connecticut River remains frozen. Despite the potential setback, John Strizich ’14 said that the team remains undeterred.
