The Crimson also grabbed the first three spots in the 60-meter hurdles, with Taylor and freshman Alayna Miller (8.94 seconds) and Shanklin (9.13) beating the crowd.

Junior Dora Gyorrfy continued her dominance with an impressive first-place finish in the high jump at 1.90 meters. Junior Mary Unsworth also won her event, the mile run, emphatically clocking at 4:49.55. Unsworth took a commanding lead early in the first lap and never looked back. The chasing pack never closed to within 100 meters of her for the entire race.

"It's an additional challenge running alone, with no one pushing you," Unsworth said. "My strategy was to race the clock and to get as good a time as I could."

Every time she passed the Crimson stands, the Harvard fans would cheer her name out, motivating her to keep her solid pace.

Also finishing strong was freshman Amy Bei who won the women's pole vaulting competition with a vault of 3.00 meters. She was followed closely by sophomore Loni Sherwin, who finished third with a vault of 2.70 meters. In the women's shot put, Jill Kometsky finished second with a throw of 12.95 meters. The mile relay team also finished first.

Both teams travel for the weekend to Dartmouth on Feb. 26 to participate in the Heptagonal Championships.
