The 2024 Red athletic season through my viewfinder: Throughout the spring semester, I have had the chance to cover several of Cornell’s athletic teams, including men’s and women’s hockey, basketball and lacrosse. Some of the most notable moments I witnessed include men’s hockey sweeping rival Harvard in the ECAC quarterfinals, women’s lacrosse earning its 27th straight win over Columbia and men’s lacrosse excelling against the top-ranked team in the country — Notre Dame. Overall, it was an incredibly successful year for the Red, with record-breaking seasons and commendable performances aplenty.
