Sophomore John Kraay placed 10th in the Eastern college men's shotput, and sophomore Arthur Fergusson took sixth in the Eastern college men's triple jump.
Aside from Gyorffy's success, the most memorable part of the Penn Relays was the trip.
For those traveling down Thursday night, the train arrived five hours late because the central tracking system was "disabled multiple times," according to Ciollo.
"We saw a dead body in New Jersey, where they were pulling it off the track as we pulled out of the station," Ciollo said. "In Rhode Island, we saw a house that was completely on fire. The whole trip was pretty much a nightmare."
After the team staggered off the train, things didn't get much better. The Harvard contingent arrived at the Clarion Suites around 12:30 a.m. It went out for dinner and came back 20 minutes later to find the power out at the hotel.
Because the doors used keycards instead of keys, the team was locked out until 3:30 a.m.
Friday afternoon, the men's 4x400 team of freshman Osahon Omoregie, sophomore Richie Powell, junior Cabral Williams, and Ciollo checked in at 3:30 for its 4:00 race. The meet was then postponed for half an hour, but it began raining harder after the races resumed.
Because the organizers were trying to run heats as quickly as possible, the athletes were lined up in their racing clothes in the paddock. With the Heptagonal heat just a couple races away, the meet was postponed again.
