Tech Trails: Rising Sophs

Joel led the team in assists and steals

Tech Trails tracks summer plans of Caltech basketball players -- from SURFs (summer undergraduate research fellowships) to related work in the fields of math, science, and engineering.

Rising sophomores Bryan Joel and Andrew Hogue had tremendous freshman campaigns. They proved themselves as playmakers and scorers and finished in the program's top 10 in 3-point percentage for a season. And this summer, they are showing their might in the workforce.

Hogue scored in double figures 14 times

Joel is interning in Bethesda, Maryland for the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division. He is working on a couple different projects that will help make certain devices on Navy ships more effective and help sailors safely manage their environment.

Hogue is living on campus while he interns at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the Protocol Technology Lab working in the field of Deep Space Networking. He is helping optimize combinations of protocol used to send transmissions between spacecraft, satellites, and mission control.

Five Named to NABC Honors Court

Once again, Caltech basketball players have been named to the NABC Honors Court. This year, five Beavers, all juniors, earned the honor. Ethan Boroson, Arjun Chandar, Christophe Kunesh, Alex Runkel, and Pan Wang each have a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher. Besides the GPA cutoff, to qualify for Honors Court, student-athletes must be a junior or senior.

The five honorees, tied for the most of any NCAA school's one class, are the most since Eslinger's first season, when seven players qualified (five seniors and two juniors). There were no seniors on this year's team.
