The men's meet was much closer than the women's, but in the end, both of Harvard's indoor track teams prevailed in Saturday's competition with Northeastern at the Gordon Track and Tennis Center.
While the men's team (2-0) just barely sneaked past Northeastern, 74-69, the women's team (2-0) had relatively little trouble placing first in all but one of the events en route to a 96-26 trouncing of the Huskies.

"I did not expect to win the 1,000," Martin said. "I was inserted in that at the last minute, but I guess it paid off."
