Track Hopes for Right Footing at Heps

Men, Women both look to topple Princeton

With the return of Nwokocha, the outlook is optimistic for these events.

The women could not find a better week to be peaking in performance.

The ladies are blazing through their season. Saturday's victory over Princeton gave them the steam they needed with which to head into Heptagonals.

"We are running really well right now," co-captain Margaret Schotte said.

Indeed they are.

Sophomore standout Brenda Taylor continues to make an impact in whichever race she is running. In the Big Three Championship last week, she earned points in four events for the Crimson.

"She scored practically half our points for us," Schotte said.

Sophomore jumper Dora Gyorffy is a huge favorite in the jumping events considering that she holds both triple and high jump records for the Ivy League.

Another sophomore who continues to dominate is distance runner Senta Burton, a runner who dominates the 3000-meter run.

Points are expected by versatile senior sprinter and co-captain Heather Hanson, who contributes in the 55-meter dash as well as the 200-meter dash.

Other points could be won in the throwing events, pole vault and the mile.

"Saturday was a wake-up call, a tough meet which taught us that we can pull a meet out against the top competition," Schotte said.

The Crimson track teams are looking to this weekend with one thing on their minds: victory.

If there is one meet for both the men and women to pull out, then this is the one.
