With this year’s Cross Country season in the books, the distance runners will be joining their sprinting, throwing and jumping counterparts on the larger track and field teams for their indoor season on Dec. 9.
Yale is a mysterious place. From whispers of society parties to screams from the Bass Naked Run, there always seems to be some campus tradition that's equal parts confusing and intriguing. Hi! My name is Eliza, and I’m a sophomore in Pierson College studying comparative literature. I’m one of many Yale students with puzzling backgrounds. I’m trained as a butcher, and I love tofu. I’m Jewish, and my mom’s last name is Church. I’m American, and I went to an international school for 10 years. I quote Proust just as much as I quote Season 8 of Love Island. I know all too well that there’s a lot more to people, places and things than meets the eye. And that’s why I love Yale. You can never fully understand everything going on here, but you can try! And that’s what Enigma, this column, is all about digging deeper into these pressing questions and providing much needed answers.
This week, Yale and Harvard teamed up to defeat Oxford and Cambridge as the British universities traveled across the Atlantic, continuing the world’s oldest continuous international sporting event.
This past weekend, Yale’s track and field teams headed up to Storrs, Connecticut to compete in the nine-team UConn Dog Fight, with the men finishing fifth and the women finishing sixth overall.
