For two of Harvard's track stars, the season is not over.

Sophomore high jumper Dora Gyorffy and sophomore hurdler Brenda Taylor both qualified for the NCAA Track and Field Championships after winning titles at the ECAC Championships at George Mason University this past week-end in Fairfax, Va.

Gyorffy recorded a personal best with a jump of 6'4.5 to take the title. Her previous personal best was 6'2, jumped March 27 at the Bayou Classic at Rice University.

Taylor also notched a personal record with a time of 57.29 in the 400m intermediate hurdles. Her previous best was a 59.36, which she ran April 17 at the Penn Relays.

"It was the first time all season that she had been pushed by the competition," Captain Joe Ciollo said. "She rose to the occasion."

The two will face the best of the country beginning on June 2 in Boise, Idaho.

"They were very excited, and the team is excited for them," senior distance runner Scott Muoio said.

"Dora has a chance to win the whole thing," Muoio said. "She is seeded second in the nation."

"One interesting thing about Dora's performance," Ciollo said, "was that she didn't get a chance to better that because immediately after her jump, the meet was postponed because of rain."

"I think she was definitely ready for a higher jump, but that'll have to wait until nationals," Ciollo added.

Sophomores Caroline Johnston and Mary Unsworth were unable to advance. Johnston threw the discus and Unsworth ran the 1500m.

The men's team was also at George Mason for the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletics of America (IC4A) meet.

None of the male athletes were able to advance to the NCAAs based on last weekend's performances.

Junior Darren Dinneen placed fourth in the 800m run with a time of 1:48.43.

"Darren was the best performer of the weekend," Ciollo said. "I think he is just going to miss the cutoff to go to Nationals."
