‘The Architect of the Whole Plan’: Harvard Law Graduate Ken Chesebro’s Path to Jan. 6
Harvard junior Jennifer Greeley knows exactly where she'll be this summer. She'll be in seventh heaven.
And that's in between the time she spends in Europe and Australia.
Because Greeley is one of more than a hundred Crimson athletes who will tour the world this summer. In all, Harvard athletes will travel to three different continents.
But Greeley will do better than most Crimson stars; with both the Harvard women's soccer team and the Harvard women's lacrosse team heading abroad, she'll be traversing the world in Crimson uniforms and taking part in what coaches and participants call "once in a lifetime opportunities."
Greeley and the women booters are currently in Europe on a two-week stint, competing against European national teams.
The women's lacrosse squad will make a month's jaunt to Australia in July, with games scheduled against that continent's top teams and stops scheduled at the land's top sights.
And Asia's where many members of Harvard's lightweight crew teams are right now, competing in the seventh annual dragon boat races. (See story above).
The Funds
It's all part of a program that allows Harvard squads to travel abroad once every four years. Both the women's soccer and women's lacrosse teams raised much of their money to finance the trips, with the lacrosse squad coming up with over $40,000.
Meanwhile, the Harvard freshman heavyweight crew will send two boats to Henley later this month to compete in the annual races there and in late June, three Harvard women's tennis players will travel through England as part of a combined Harvard-Yale team.
