Davenport

So D-port volleyball was seeded last in the playoffs, while Pierson and Stiles were undefeated. Who's defeated now? Not us. We stormed to victory with the help of Captain Catherine Price '01 and dining hall commandant Jim Moule, who valiantly manned the building while J.P. Nogues '02 worked an overtime shift on the volleyball courts.

But that week wasn't all. After thoroughly trouncing Stiles, soccer held an emergency forum to decide whether upperclassmen should be allowed to play. The verdict was a hotly contested "yea." Good thing, 'cause Calhoun came out with all cylinders firing, and our team, spilling over with untapped talent, just managed to pull out a tie with the stellar goal keeping of Henry Whitaker '00.

Tennis wasn't to be outdone. Even Dean Wennemyr got in on the act, beating Silliman using the dual weapons of a wicked topspin backhand and the threat "Ex-Comm awaits for all who oppose me." Dean Wennemyr proceeded to lap fellow victorious racket wielders Ewen Cameron '02, Gina LaRossa '00, Adam Drenzla '02, and Nadia Khan '00 on their victory jog.

In ping-pong, Michael Kavanagh '00 successfully hurled literary criticism at our opponents' roster, which flustered the team and paved the way for captain Amar Drawid's '00 romp to victory. The match against TD was an equally dramatic event. Larossa, Drawid, Emma Doggett '02, Robynn Sturm '03, Helen Lee '00, and Colin Reingold '02 reaped an 8-0 victory as the reward for their labours.

Finally, cross country's runners were hand-picked by Virginian Captain Charlie "I'm doing swell" Moore '02, to create a small but effective running machine. Taylor Krauss '02, Dan Norland '02, and Drenzla turned in stellar times for the men. In spite of his three months of training in Siberia and five-times-a-day workouts at Yale, Charlie crawled across the finish line with a respectable, if not remarkable, third place finish. Kate Moran '02 and Annie Lux '02 outran the competition (and several Branford males) in the women's heat. Afterwards Kate remarked, "I was doing it for the free salad." To each her own.
