Track Teams Torch Yale in Dual Meet

Worrell ended up participating in six events, including the winning 4x100 relay, which he started, the 110 hurdles, where he finished fourth, and the high jump, which he left in the middle so he could hurdle. it was the first time Worrell competed in the long jump and 100-meter.

Ciollo ran a personal-record 48.02 seconds in winning the 400-meter, and he finished third in the 200-meter. Junior Dominic Patillo took second in the 800-meter in a personal-best time. He led for most of the way but tired because of the wind, and Yale's Donald Carson passed him at the end.

Junior Darren Dinneen ran a personal-best 3:55 to take second in the 1500-meter.

And, when Harvard needed it most, it got the 5000-meter sweep from sophomore Ed Baker, Muoio and Martin.

"The momentum seemed to go our

way from the outset," Ciollo said. "Droppingthe baton definitely frustrated Yale from the verybeginning. We knew we went in as underdogs, knewthat we would have to execute to best of ourabilities to beat these guys, and I think that inbeating Yale, we came together very well as ateam. We appear to be in very good shape for thechampionship meet."

Harvard Women 99, Yale 46

The women had less difficulty in putting theElis away for the 11th straight year outdoors.

Harvard won 13 of the 18 events, with multiplewinners including sophomore Dora Gyorffy in thehigh jump and triple jump, sophomore Mary Unsworthin the 800-and 1500-meter runs, sophomore BrendaTaylor in the 100-and 400-meter hurdles andco-captain Heather Hanson in the 100-meter and200-meter races.

The Crimson also got first-place finishes fromsenior Caroline Johnston in the discus, sophomoreMarna Schutte in the 400-meter and its 4x100 and4x400 relays.

As the four runners with double-first placefinishes shows, the women's team also spread itstalent around because of the importance of themeet.

"The team's performance was really good," saidGyorffy, who will jump in the Penn Relays nextweekend. "We were surprised because we thought itwould be close, so everyone did manyevents--that's why I did long jump."

Gyorffy finished third in the long jump, anevent she said she hasn't competed in years.

But even that wasn't the team-high. That honorwent to Taylor, who ran in five events.

"That was pretty spectacular," Hanson said."Brenda usually doesn't run the 100-meter, but wewent 1-2, which was great. And Mary Unsworth, whousually doesn't do the 800-meter, won it alongwith the 1500."

As in the men's competition, a convincing winin the 4x100 relay set the tone.

'Last year, we lost it, and after that, youreally fell, 'Uh-oh, we're behind,'" Hanson said."When we defeated them badly, I saw it as settingthe tone and being the starting point as far asinspiring the rest of the team."

The victory ensured that Yale would have noanswer for the Crimson's slogan:
