Harvard's brightest of moment of the afternoon came two events later when senior Dwayne Jones broke the University 440-yard record with a time of 48.64, topping the old mark by a tenth of a second and leading the way to a Crimson sweep Freshman Chris. Aldridge took second and sophomore Jim Herberich finished third.
Harvard continued its winning ways in the 880 and the 1000. Bob Higgins ran his best 880 race ever as he and teammate Cliff Sheeham came from behind to pass Huskte Jim MacKinnon on the last turn and capture first and second.
Junior Brad Bunney lost nothing in his kick during vacation and he jumped out to a big lead and held on to easily win the 1000.
So with only the 2-mile and the two relays left to run the score stood at 63-54. Northeastern, and Harvard needed a first in the two-mile and to win both relays if it was going to pull out the meet.
Determined not to let the victory escape them the Huskie two-milers easily took first, second and put the contest out of the Crimson's reach. And with the meet already decided, Harvard took the mile relay, while Northeastern won the 2-mile.
The thinclads will have a chance to avenge their loss on February 4th and 5th when they get back in action and host the GBCs.
