Southern Vermont College (Bennington) Track & Field - Williams College Relays Results - April 13, 2002 (SVC Athletes Set Several Records)

Highlights included three new SVC records.
Several SVC athletes set new records and personal bests at the 2002 Track & Field Williams College Relays.

What SVC lacked in size, it made up for in skill, perseverance, and sheer grit. One only needed to look at the walls of the Fieldhouse, or the walls of Athletic Director Scott Kilgallon's office to see the championships bestowed upon various SVC teams.

Watercolor Painting of Everett Mansion Lawn, Southern Vermont College (Watercolors 101 with Professor Greg Winterhalter)

Nobody will mistake it for a masterpiece, but this is my interpretation of the Southern Vermont College lawn. It was sophomore year, and the course load was looking pretty intimidating. I chose Introduction to Watercolors as an (easy) elective, taught by the legendary Professor Greg Winterhalter. 

The start of the fall semester brought long lines to the basement SVC bookstore. I knew I was in for a treat when manager Wanda carried over paints, brushes, and a palette but no books. Finally, a little relaxation while learning a new skill!
