Junior Alison Goldkamp finished second in the 800 meters, even though it was only her second ever race at that distance.
Despite good individual efforts, the teams' small size probably precludes overall team success.
"Princeton's the team to beat," Lonergan said. "I don't know if we can beat them. We have a small team, and that hurts us at sprinting and the jumps. We'll just have to do well at the distances and hope Yale and Princeton take points away from each other."
"Our strength is running from 400 meters and up," Haggerty agreed. "We're going to get hurt in long jump, triple jump and pole vault."
Lack of depth presents a problem for the women's side as well. "We have good quality but not a lot of bodies," Ailey Penningroth said. "But H-Y-P is always a grudge match, so we're not going to worry about distances or times."
So while the dedication or desire to win is not lacking, the big events like Heptagonals or next weekend's H-Y-P might remind Harvard of last weekend's Invitational. Some good individual performances, but no team score to speak of.
