He was a two-time All-Ivy selection in cross country, including a First Team honor in 2007. Along with his accomplishments on the track, Norton was also recognized for his leadership and sportsmanship as a recipient of both the Dartmouth Lovejoy Sportsmanship Award in 2006 and the Dartmouth Track and Field Coaches Award in 2005, 2007. A native of North Reading, Mass., Norton has worked as a counselor at the Dartmouth Gold Medal running camp and has helped with recruiting in the Dartmouth athletic department. During the summer of 2007, he interned for Nike with its East Coast Running Brand Marketing team.
