Biohazard Team History and Mission Statement

Every so often in life, washed up and out of shape graduate students have the opportunity to prove to their peers that they were once indeed great athletes. A chance to get away from the everyday grind that is the biological sciences and this mental vice we call research. After the long cold Vermont Winter and through the one week we know of as Spring, the Summer months beckon all graduate students to emerge from their research lairs, squint their eyes from the bright sun and yearn for activity. This void is filled every summer when the MMG departmental softball team takes the field.

Biohazard was created by Mike Wichroski (Ward Lab) who managed the team through four glorious seasons (1998-2001). With the support of numerous graduate students and faculty, Biohazard has consistently fielded a competitive team and has proven to be the flagship franchise of all science related teams. The 2000 season proved to be pinnacle of the last four years as the team brought home the intramural championship trophy to MMG after numerous gut wrenching defeats in the semifinals of the 1998 and 1999 playoffs. During the ensuing 2001 season, Biohazard played valiantly defending their title, but came up short with a heartbreaking loss yet again in the semifinals. With the eminent loss of many players, Biohazard is committed to rebuilding through the draft (otherwise known as new 1st years) and will field a team for years to come. After four glorious season, founding manager Mike Wichroski has retired and the team has hired up and coming ace Jeff Mital to succeed the most successful coach in franshise history. For information on how to sign up, trades, free agency or contracts, contact Jeff Mital (x6-1146 / Rm. 214 Stafford) for information.
