Last weekend's All-Sports Banquet was a chance for all Bowdoin teams to get together to celebrate a successful year and honor our athletic award recipients. The big highlight for the ski team was John B. Hall's Academic Achievement Award - John has the highest GPA of all senior male athletes. This comes as no surprise to anyone who knows John and the way he balances athletics and academics with seemingly effortless grace. It's an honor to have a skier win this award among a group of such outstanding student-athletes - I hope we'll see many more in the future.
It's been a great year for Bowdoin teams - one of the best ever. We had 11 teams qualify for NCAA competition, highlighted by the field hockey team's national championship. A quick glance down the evening's program shows winning records for all but one or two of the teams that keep track of won-loss records, as well as a number of All-Americans. As I've said before, this is an exciting time to be part of Bowdoin Athletics - our athletes and coaches have the resources they need, and we're getting results. With a new fitness center on the way, things will only get better.
