While there were a number of standout performers for Hopkins over the past week, Senior men’s tennis star Erik Lim has been selected as Athlete of the Week. Over the weekend, the Hopkins men’s tennis team shutout visiting McDaniel College by a 9-0 margin. The Blue Jays pushed their Centennial Conference winning streak to 83 victories with the win, closing out the regular season with a 15-7 record (9-0 Centennial). Lim picked up his 100th career victory alongside fellow senior Tanner Brown in the first doubles match. Lim was the second player this season to eclipse the 100 victory mark and just the 10th in Hopkins tennis history (his partner Brown had achieved the feat earlier in the season). Lim sat down with The News-Letter to discuss the significance of the milestone and reflect on his expectations for the remainder of the season.
Ranked No. 6 overall in the nation, the Hopkins women’s tennis team swept both Swarthmore College and Bryn Mawr College this past Saturday. The Lady Jays went undefeated in the conference with a 10-0 record, clinching the top seed in the Centennial Conference Tournament for the ninth year in a row.
The Hopkins men’s lacrosse team closed out regular season play with a win in their first year in the Big Ten conference.
What do you do when the thing you love most can kill you? While certainly not applying to everyone worldwide, many workers or professionals around the globe do their jobs because they love them; most doctors enjoy curing patients, teachers love inspiring young citizens to learn and be productive in society.
The Hopkins men’s track and field team competed in the 121st Penn Relays in Philadelphia, Pa. on Thursday and Friday last week. On Thursday, the Blue Jays competed in the steeplechase and the 5000 meter run.
Those who know me best know that I have a profound respect for the late Chief Justice Earl Warren. His world-changing statement, “We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of “‘separate but equal’ has no place” still sends tingles up my spine, and a powerful dissent in which he wrote, “The censor’s sword pierces deeply into the heart of free expression,” absolutely fires me up. But there is one Warren quote — about newspapers, no less — that took me a while to warm up to: “I always turn to the sports pages first, which record people’s accomplishments. The front page has nothing but man’s failures.”
The Hopkins men’s tennis team went 1-1 as it hit the road this past Saturday for split squad play against Washington College and NC Wesleyan. The team turned in a victory against Washington College, sweeping the Shoremen 9-0.
