Carl Wallin Bary Harwick '77 Ellen O'Neil '87 Sandy Ford-Centonze

Track & Field and Cross-Country Coaches

BIG GREEN RUNNERS and field athletes have dominated their competition for more than a decade. They have virtually owned the annual Heptagonal meet, and have reset nearly every Dartmouth record.

During Carl Wallin's 29 years of coaching field events at Dartmouth, his athletes have pushed the bar higher. Meanwhile, the men's crosscountry team, coached most recently by Barry Harwick, has won ten of the last 13 Heps titles and has become a fixture at the NCAA meets, running in eight of the last ten events.

Of all the champions, perhaps Ellen O'Neil '87 knows best about winning. She's been on both sides of the finish line. Since her arrival as cross-country and long-distance track coach in 1992, the women's running program has enjoyed its best days ever: Cross-country has won the last three Heptagonal titles. She and women's track coach, Sandy Ford- Centonze, have coached four women to Ail-American status in the last two years.

Along the way, O'Neil has seen her own Dartmouth 3,000- and 5,000-meter records broken by her athletes.

At the elite level of college athletics today, when you hear the word "Dartmouth," chances are—along with skiing and rowing—you'll also hear the words "cross-country, track and field."
