Meanwhile, at Dartmouth, we have the following snippet: "Most telling in the Big Green's return to prominence are the junior duo of Kelly Keene and Erin Dromgoole (Millbury 97 and Dartmouth Junior) The pair shown as freshmen -- Keene finished runner-up at the Heptagonal meet, while Dromgoole followed up a fifth-place finish at the Heps by placing 37th at the NCAA's. Last year, though, both were bitten by the injury bug and could not compete during the championship meets. If they are healthy, expect to once again see their names near the top at most races."
