Kathryn Moynihan will captain cross country next year, and Johnson and rising junior Taylor will co-captain indoor and outdoor track.

Despite the outstanding showing at Heps, Schotte said she thinks the team's best meet was the Harvard-Yale show-down.

At stake was a trip to England for the Oxford-Cambridge meet. The top performers made a composite Harvard and Yale squad that will make the trip this summer.

Moreover, after the meet was a memorial legendary track coach Bill McCurdy, who coached at Harvard for 30 years. The stands were packed with alumni and friends of Harvard track for the tribute and the traditional rivalry with the Bulldogs.

The women won, 99-46, to extend their win 11-year win streak over Yale.

The outdoor season was a truncated one, with other results including a second-place finish in the tri-meet with Brown, the winner, and Dartmouth.

During the indoor season, the Harvard women were perfect, beating B.C., Northeastern, Brown and Cornell in a tri-meet, Princeton and Yale.

The influx of 22 freshmen next year and the overall youth of the team gives hope for even better things next year.

"Some of us think the best class is here, and it's the sophomores in their depth of talent and energy and commitment and leadership," Schotte said.

"Now it's about seeing how they come into their own, how they encourage freshmen to reach their potential. I think there will be a lot of changes in what scores are around and the coaching," she added.
