Senior Theresa Saxton-Fox, a rower from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, won her second straight Patriot League Rowing Scholar-Athlete of the Year award on Thursday, while earning one of 11 spots on the Academic All-Patriot League Team. The awards were voted on by sports information directors around the League who could not cast a ballot for their own student-athletes. The Academic All-Patriot League Team was added for all sports at the beginning of the 2010-11 season to honor additional student-athletes who excel both on and off the field. Saxton-Fox, who last season became the first student-athlete from MIT to win a Patriot League major award, is a mechanical engineering major with a 4.9/5.0 GPA (3.92/4.00). She sat in the second seat of the varsity eight boat that finished second at Sunday's Patriot League Championship at Cooper River Park in Camden County, N.J. MIT finished third overall, its highest placing since joining the Patriot League as an associate member. A native of Wayland, Mass., Saxton-Fox is the President of MIT's Engineers Without Borders, which engineers solutions to issues in developing countries. She has overseen projects on water accessibility, alternative cooking fuels and individual shower units for slums. She oversaw the fundraising of almost $20,000 and the logistics of sending six students to Africa. She was awarded a Public Service Center (PSC) Fellowship to travel to Uganda as the team's project manager, where she worked with local customs officials to import solar panels into the country. She is a researcher at the High Power pumped heat exchanger lab at MIT and a team member in the Design and Manufacturing II Lab. For the past two years, Saxton-Fox has tutored a high school student in Cambridge public housing in math and physics. She was a reviewer in the PSC's IDEAS competition and Global Challenge. She was awarded funding from Lockheed Martin to research permeability, capillary pressure and thermal conductivity of copper and monel sinter as part of a project to create a high powered pumped heat exchanger. She worked during the summer designing packaging for a solar remote power unit at NRG Systems.

Book Review: 14 Minutes

Wall Street Journal 4/6/12: Book Review: 14 Minutes. Alberto Salazar was the last in a troika of American male distance runners—along with Frank Shorter and Bill Rodgers—who ruled the roads in the decade from 1972 to 1982. Mr. Salazar, who had been a high-school champion, won his debut marathon in New York in 1980 while attending the University of Oregon; the next year he broke the marathon world record. A year after that, he was done. Plagued by injuries and illness, Mr. Salazar would never recover his earlier form. The dreams of U.S. distance running died with him. Since that time, no American man has been ranked first in the marathon or won an Olympic gold medal in any distance event.

High school soccer’s elite gathers to kick cancer

Taunton Daily Gazette 10/3/11: High school soccer's elite gathers to kick cancer. One of the more popular sports clichés is the one that says that athletes should play for the name on the front of the jersey, not the one on the back. On Saturday, however, players from the 12 high school boys soccer teams that gathered at Concord-Carlisle High School were encouraged to play for the names on the backs of their jerseys. The reason why they were encouraged to do that was because on Saturday the names on the backs of their jerseys were not their own. Each player, along with each team’s coaches, wore a jersey with the name of someone they knew, a friend, a relative, a loved one, who was affected by cancer.
