By Ashley Simpson | March 20, 2008

It was the last indoor track and field meet of senior Emily Harrison's college running career. As she crossed the finish line of her 5K event at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships last weekend, Harrison said, she did not know right away how she had performed. "I was not 100 percent sure what place I was," Harrison said.

Retire No. 44

By Kevin Zdancewicz | March 20, 2008

I know I missed the praising Sean Singletary party last week following his final regular-season game, but there is still something bugging me about the end of his career that no one has talked about. Prior to the Maryland game during the senior night celebration, Singletary became the second Wahoo to have his jersey retired, joining Curtis Staples on a banner draped from the JPJ rafters.

Team sends 10 to compete in championship

By Megan McDonald | March 20, 2008

In addition to betting, griping usually follows Selection Sunday. The decision regarding which 34 teams will receive at-large bids to the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship is necessarily subjective -- teams wait to learn their fate, unsure if the selection committee will give them a March Madness berth. Virginia freshman Claire Crippen, on the other hand, has known she would be competing in the NCAA Division I Women's Swimming Championship since December. Using objective time standards, the NCAA Championship features the top 30 athletes nationwide in each event, and Crippen demonstrated she deserved a place among the best during December's Georgia Invitational.

Baseball remains undefeated in non-conference play In a midweek doubleheader against Stony Brook Tuesday, Virginia maintained its undefeated record in its non-conference schedule and remained unblemished at home, winning the early game 3-0 and roaring back from a 3-run deficit in the eighth inning to take the latter game 6-4.

Singh, Shabaz make impression as freshmen

By Dan Stalcup | March 20, 2008

Freshmen Sanam Singh and Michael Shabaz of the Virginia men's tennis team, each ranked among the top 5 in junior-level competition, were expected to come into Virginia's prestigious tennis program and make an immediate impact. As often happens in sports, and life in general, buzz and hype can transform any performance that isn't perfect into a disappointment.

Can you Believe It?

By Cavalier Daily Staff | March 19, 2008

I don't know about you, but last night I was a ball of nerves. For last night's opening round of the Cut-Below Invitational -- or maybe it's the Contemptible Business Initiative, my memory's a bit fuzzy -- there was a good deal of excitement in John Paul Jones Arena.

By Cavalier Daily Staff | March 19, 2008

They're about as different as night and day, fire and water, chalk and cheese, Mario and Luigi and, well, Charlottesville and Blacksburg. Virginia coach Dave Leitao and Virginia Tech coach Seth Greenberg, both talented bench generals, have done pretty well for themselves over the past few years.
