On Saturday, the Harvard men's and women's track and field teams continued their annual tradition of blowing out Boston College to open the indoor season.
The men doubled up Boston College with a 96-48 victory while the women won by a lopsided 87-48 margin.
As usual, captain Brenda Taylor was the women's top point-scorer with first-place finishes in the 60-meter and 200-meter sprints and the 60-meter hurdles. Senior Arthur Fergusson led the men with victories in the long jump and the triple jump.
The women's meet was also highlighted by Harvard's newest high jumper and another record-breaking throw by junior Nicky Grant.
Harvard Women 87, Boston College 48
Freshman Kart Sillats cleared 1.84 meters to win the high jump--just two centimeters short of what she needed to automatically qualify for the NCAA championships.
Last year against Brown, Grant surprised everyone with a 17.5-meter toss in the 20-pound weight throw that crushed the school record.
