Winning both meets this season would be even more impressive. The team may have just enough depth to pull it off this year.
"I think we will win [both]," said Schutte, who has consistently placed highly for the Crimson in the 200 and the 400 at Heps. "We're especially looking forward to the Indoor Heps because they're at Harvard. With freshmen like Kart Sillats and upperclassmen we have like [junior] Nicky Grant, we'll have enough depth."
Any hopes of a one-shot track title always come with the disclaimer, "barring injury."
"In meets like Heps you can place high enough with a smaller number of people," Haggerty said. "But unlike other sports, when you're looking at your next-best person, you're probably going from 10 to zero points."
Harvard has managed to avoid injury in recent seasons, despite the most strenuous of workloads. Taylor, in particular, manages to run at least three events per meet without wearing down.
"Obviously what we would like is not to have to have her in that situation," Haggerty said.
But Taylor, who also captained the team as a junior, has never failed to do absolutely everything she can to help her team win.
