Antunes seemed to forget the pressure once his race began.
"I was a little nervous before the race because I wasn't sure what to expect," Antunes said. "But the race itself was just a normal 800 meter race. I was really happy to win."
In the distance events, veteran runners continued to pace Harvard. Junior Ed Baker won the mile run in 4:14.1. And, in the last men's event of the meet, Baker helped the Crimson blow away the Eagles in the two-mile relay by 10 seconds. The Crimson finished in 8:09.9 to B.C.'s 8:19.9.
Harvard won all but one of the field events. In the shot put, freshman D.J. Patterson won with a distance of 48'10". Seniors William Ratcliffe (45'1/4") and Christopher Canero (41'3") took second and third on the event.
In the triple jump, juniors Arthur Fergusson placed first (14.19 meters)
and Francis De La Cruz took second (13.26 m).
Even though the competition was pretty relaxed, the team made a statement in the first meet of the season and its most important one before winter break.
"This is a pretty low-key meet," senior runner Dave Martin said. "A lot of kids are having their first college races."
