February 2026

Hi Athlete Ally!

Welcome back to campus. We hope the start of the semester is going well for all of you.

Next Thursday (Feb 12) we are hosting a Valentine's Day Event in the Campus Center from 7-9pm. There will be the opportunity to make tissue paper flowers, write letters, and eat loads of chocolate! Swing by to say hello, make some crafts, and socialize for as long as you like!‍

‍

Women’s Basketball is hosting a Pride Game on Tuesday, February 10th at 7pm! It would be awesome to have a big crowd for this home game, and wear pride gear if you have any.

‍

This month has been fantastic for Tufts athletics, and our team reps have been crushing it in every sport.

Huge shoutout to Women’s Basketball Rep Claire Kolkhorst who scored a career-high 22 points against Wesleyan on January 30th!

Men’s Swim Rep Jack Nussbaum’s 200 breaststroke time of 2:00.54 puts him tenth nationally. Good luck to him and fellow reps Dan Godino and Eli Brandt at their upcoming NESCAC championships!

Good luck to Women’s Squash Reps Chloe Bergam and Bridget Schutt at their upcoming NESCAC tournament!

Lastly, shout out to Women’s Track rep Alanna Jacobs for placing second in the 3,000 meters at her first collegiate meet! Big things on the way.

Sincerely,

Peter McCormick (he/him)
