The Dartmouth and Brown track & field teams took off for Dublin, Ireland, late last week for a 13-day excursion which will include sightseeing, bonding and a little bit of competition.

Brown Coach Tim Springfield reported that the Bears learned a little something, possibly, about Ireland on a walking tour:

Most of us went on a free walking tour led by an unemployed actor. It was a good way to see the major sites, although I’m not sure that we learned much Irish history. On the other hand, we did learn a lot about unemployed Irish actors.

Both the Bears and the Big Green took in a rare sight — the grass track at Trinity College. More to come, we suspect.
