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 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 Scott Muoio ran 8:59 in the steeplechase, just off his personal record.
"He has improved each time he's run that event this year," co-captain Joe Ciollo said. "When he's on a roll, he's pretty much unstoppable. What's even scarier is that he wasn't that satisfied with his time."
