Harvard junior Dora Gyorffy won the triple jump with a mark of 12.71, breaking a school record. Gyorffy, along with Taylor, has already qualified to compete in the Olympic trials later in the year.
Junior Mary Unsworth cruised to victory in the 3,000-meter run, outdoing the second-place finisher by nearly 30 seconds.
"Mary was pretty much by herself out there," Taylor said. "She maintained great stride and pace throughout her race."
The Crimson swept the top three spots in the mile run, as senior Katherine Moynihan (5:19.12), junior Senta Burton (5:19.64), and senior Kimberly Megdanis (5:22.34) finished first through third.
Harvard also received a significant contribution from junior Marna Schutte, who placed first in the 400-meter run (56.95) and second in the 200-meter dash behind Taylor.
In the throwing events, freshman Jill Kornetsky continued to show great promise. Kornetsky, who won both the 20-lb.-weight throw and the shot put event against BC on Dec. 4, finished first again in the shot put with a throw of 12.57 meters. In the 20-lb.-weight throw, Kornetsky placed second behind Crimson junior Natalie Grant (16.40).
"I've just been happy to be able to help out the team," Kornetsky said.
