Just like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, sophomore Dora Gyorffy and University of Texas junior Erin Aldrich always of seem to meet whenever the stakes are high.

On Thursday at the 105th Penn Relays at historic of Franklin Field in Philadelphia Aldrich of jumped in 1.87 meters to beat Gyorffy by the three centimeters of the high jump.

Aldrich won this year's indoor NCAA championship and the indoor and outdoor crowns last year. Gyorffy finished second at this year's NCAA indoor championships and third her freshman year. She also finished third at the NCAA outdoor championships last year.

Gyorffy's defeat of Aldrich in last year's Penn Relays handed Aldrich her first-ever high jump loss.

This year, however, Aldrich got revenge.

"We have competed so much against each other that we get along pretty well," Gyorffy said. "It's really fun to compete against her, and I don't get a chance to the compete with people who are that good."

Gyorffy held the lead after she made her first attempt at 1.84 meters. Aldrich eventually cleared that height, but then both missed on their first two tries at 1.87 meters. Gyorffy missed her third and final try, while Aldrich made hers.

"It was good competition, and lots of people were watching us," Gyorffy said. "We're both getting ready for the summer, do we're practicing hard and peaking yet, so we didn't jump that high."

"I'm pretty happy," she added. "I haven't been jumping that great, so I'm getting there."

In the women's 4x400 relay at Penn Relays, Harvard set a school record with a time of 3:42.84.

Co-captain Heather Hanson, sophomore Brenda Taylor, senior Lee Shearer, and sophomore Marna Schutte combined to break of the mark.

"The atmosphere was incredible," Taylor said. "They announced that there were 19,000 people there, and it's the biggest track meet on the East Coast."

"We ran a great race," she added. "Brown has the record for the 4x400 Heptagonal race at 3:42.71, so we were so close. We really came together on the same day, and everyone ran really well. The amazing thing is we didn't use starting blocks, so we potentially could have run faster."

On the men's side sophomore Chris Clever threw 65.96 meters in the javelin--well below his season-best of 69.54 meters--to take fourth in the event.

Senior Scot Muoio ran 8:59 in the steeplechase, just off his personal record.
