MIT in the News: Will Tashman

During his impressive debut season at MIT, power forward Will Tashman made an immediate splash with his presence in the post and showed glimpses of his sky-high potential with his improvement throughout the season. He continues a rich tradition of athletic excellence from his high school, The Menlo School, which includes several other current Division III basketball players, including this years Jostens Trophy recipient Blake Shultz from Williams. The Jostens trophy, given to the top student-athlete in Division III who exemplifies excellence on the court, in the classroom, and in service to the community, was awarded last year to former MIT star Jimmy Bartolotta, who is currently playing in the Italian Serie A with Air Avellino.
