Soccer
Our senior soccer night this year was split into two different games because of fall break. Two Saturdays ago was the family walkout out (see pictures above). We had a family banquet afterword, which was cool.
Wednesday, October 30, 2013, was the other half of our senior night, where they listed our accomplishments as we walked out on the field
Fun fact about our senior class, according to our coach: as or right now “These nine men have a combined 57-9-9 overall record, tying them for the most wins of any senior class in the 49-year history of our program.”

Beta swimmers placed highly in many events. To kick off the meet, a relay consisting of sophomore Blake Lehmann, senior Matt Gleason, junior Alex Alfonso, and sophomore Daniel McGuinness, posted the meet’s second-fastest time in the 200-yard medley relay, going a 1:35.87. Junior Casey Hooker placed second in the men’s 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:42.51; sophomore Alex Grissom and senior Matt Haeske also posted times under 1:50, finishing fifth and sixteenth. In the 50-yard freestyle, Blake Lehmann broke the 22-second barrier, going a 21.41 and placing sixth overall; Blake's classmate3 Daniel McGuinness also scored with a 22.04. Before the first break, Alex Alfonso and sophomore Stephen McMurtry placed in the 200-yard individual medley, posting times of 1:59.82 and 2:01.58, respectively, and earning seventh and fourteenth.
In the second part of the meet, Matt Gleason earned the twelfth spot in the 100-yard butterfly, with a time of 52.63 Three Betas placed in the top eight of the 100-yard freestyle: Blake Lehmann, Daniel McGuinness, and senior Jack Burgeson. A few events later, Betas again placed in the top eight. Casey Hooker, Stephen McMurtry, and Alex Grissom placed third, fifth, and seventh, with times all below 4:55.00.
For the final stretch of the meet, five Betas made a strong showing in the 100-yard breastroke. Sophomore Luke Hessburg, Matt Gleason, senior Joe Hessburg, sophomore Noam Rose, and junior Cam Johnson all posted quick times, hovering just above the 1:00.00 line. To finish the meet, another all-Beta relay placed second; Blake Lehmann, Alex Alfonso, Daniel McGuinness, and Jack Burgeson collaborated to swim a 1:25.56.
It was an excellent meet for the DePauw Men’s Swim Team as a whole, and the team’s Beta members did especially well. The team has a meet at Washington University in St. Louis on Saturday, November 2, a duel meet against Wittenberg on November 8, and a home meet against Wabash College on November 13.
