Trav Newton ’68
Dan McGilvray and Trav Newton rode the Huntington Trail last January on Alum Day through rain squalls, snow on the ridge, and a rainbow over the valley. In memory of nurse Betty Saunders, they ask classmates who took photos of ’68 who visited her at her home last June to please send images to us, […]
J. Brooks Crawford ’51
Since Brooks Crawford would have been the only member of his class to attend his 65th reunion, he skipped that reunion and instead attended the 65th reunion of the class of 1953, his brother’s class. He enjoyed spending time with his many good friends from that class as well as friends from other reunion classes. […]

After four years of qualifying and trying to gain a spot through the event’s lottery, Sarah Lavender Smith CdeP 1986 finally got the chance […]

Sarah Lavender Smith ’86

I coach adults of all levels, for distances ranging from the 5K to 100 miles and multi-day stage races. […]
