"I am happy with my performance," Taylor said. "It was ok for the beginning of the season."

Junior Mary Unsworth made her mile run victory look easy as she outpaced the next runner by more than eight seconds in a time of 4:53.9. B.C.'s Maggie Gulney was the closest in the field at 5:02.0.

"Mary opened up the season in spectacular form," Coach Frank Haggerty said. "She is going to have a very good season, I predict. She is very focused and in the best shape of her life at this time of year."

Harvard dominated the 400-meter run, with sophomore Carrie McGraw (58.5) and freshman Amanda Shanklin (59.6) taking first and second places.

Freshmen thrower Jill Kornetsky had an exceptional collegiate debut, winning both the 20-pound-weight throw (13.31m) and the shot put (13.2 m).
