AOTW- Mike Denlinger

Cranking out an outstanding .833 at bat average in the opening run of play, junior outfielder Mike Denlinger was named to the D3baseball national team of the week. Baseball is now 5-1 in the early stages of its 2013 season, coming off of a blazing 3-0 start behind Denlinger’s near perfection at the plate. The News-Letter asked the junior a few questions about his stellar 2013 opening, as well as his goals moving forward as the team preps for their annual spring break trip.

In a blazing come-from-behind victory, the Hopkins women’s tennis team beat out the Carnegie Mellon Tartans to take home the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Division III National Team Indoor Championship Sunday in Greencastle, Ind. In its previous two trips to the championship, the team was far from taking home hardware, finishing no higher than seventh in both outings. After this win, however, the Lady Jays are now ranked number one by ITA, a monstrous leap from their 11th place ranking earlier this week, and remain an undefeated 3-0 on the season.

Marcello’s first place finish clinched him his fourth straight NCAA championship appearance, making Marcello the first Blue Jay in history to accomplish the feat.


Inside Scoop: The week before the Princeton game

So it’s Princeton week, and like most students and faculty at Hopkins, we want nothing more than a good week and to beat a tough Princeton team. But before we could play the game, we had to have a full week of practice. Coming off a big win against Michigan, it was even more important to have this consistent week of practice.

Track secures conference win

With one event remaining in the entire championship meet and leading by the miniscule margin of one point, the Hopkins men’s track team knew it would take every last ounce of their energy, determination, and effort to be victorious at the Centennial Conference Championships in Collegeville, Pa. this past Saturday. Leading by one against a dangerous Haverford College opponent, the team of senior Rob Martin, freshman Colin O’Connor, junior Andrew Carey and junior Colin Rozanski lead the Blue Jays in the 4x400-meter relay to finish second, three places above Haverford, and first overall to capture their first Conference Championship in the program’s history. By defeating Haverford by three places in the final event, the Jays were able to secure a first place finish with 168 points. Haverford, who had won the championship 12 out of the past 13 years, finished second with a score of 163 points while Ursinus College and Dickinson College tied for third place with 94 points each.


Athlete of the Week- Alex Jebb

Men’s track & field made history this weekend by claiming their first ever Centennial Conference championship at Ursinus College. In Hollywood fashion, the competition for the hallowed title came down to the final event, the 4x400-meter relay, as Hopkins raced past long time rival Haverford for the historic win. Besides the showstopping ending, junior Alex Jebb was a riveting point of excitement throughout the evening. Jebb personally contributed 22 points towards the Jays’ win, getting on the board for the 60m, 60 hurdles, long and triple jump, and the heptathlon where he medaled second. Jebb sat down to shed light on the monumental moment and reflect on his personal experience.
