Gill, a native of Guyana, represented that country at the 1996 Olympics and holds a national record in the 4x400 relay. He was killed in an auto accident on March 2.

Phillips was a newspaper reporter after graduation from Syracuse. She became Dartmouth’s assistant SID in 1977 and was promoted in1983. She died November 21 after a brief illness.

The awards will be presented September 28 during the ECAC Honors Dinner.
