From the 11/21 Sports Illustrated:

ALI CROCKER

AMHERST, MASS. > ORIENTEERING

Crocker, a 27-year-old astrophysicist at UMass-Amherst, competing with the Cambridge Sports Union, swept three women's open events at the U.S. individual orienteering championships (on foot), outside Boston. She won the sprint (19:32), middle-distance (40:26) and long-distance (1:17:16) events. At worlds in August, Crocker was one of four athletes to qualify for the finals in all three events, and in March she was eighth in the world ski-orienteering championships, the best American finish ever.

Great news for Ali!

I know this girl as she is a fellow Dartmouth alum, class of 2006. She was a member of the varsity cross-country ski team while there.
