While most Yale students spent spring break relaxing with friends and family, the gymnastics team remained hard at work preparing for its biggest competition of the year, hoping to win its first season meet and upset the field at Saturday’s ECAC championships.

As most Yale students restart their routines following spring break, the men’s and women’s track and field teams are already in the full swing of their 2013 seasons.

Entering this past weekend’s slate of games, the men’s basketball team knew that it had only the slightest chance at capturing the Ivy League crown.

As the men's basketball team travels to New York for its last road trip of the season, Yale (11–16, 5–5 Ivy) still has plenty of motivation left in the tank.

At the 2011 Indoor Heptagonal Track and Field Championships two years ago, the Elis did not score a single point in either the men’s or women’s pole vault.

This season has proved to be a trying one for members of the Yale men’s and women’s track and field teams, which have battled illness and injury throughout the year.

Although the team beat Dartmouth (6–18, 2–8) on Friday to open the weekend, Yale eventually dropped its matchup against rival Harvard 72–66.

While the Elis sit three games back in the league standings, they have an opportunity to make up ground in this weekend.

The News talked to Sam Martin ’13 about the team’s spot in the Ivy League, his personal success this season and his role as captain.

The men’s basketball team took a big step forward in the hunt for the Ivy League title last weekend.

As 34 inches of snow blanketed New Haven Friday and Saturday,dining hall hours were altered, libraries closed, and students kept warm inside dorms.

As New Haven prepares for up to 2 feet of snow, the men’s basketball team will head out of town to try to rebound from a disappointing two games last weekend.
