W. Track Wins Heps, M. Track Places Ninth

Gyorffy ties NCAA indoor high-jump record

Gyorffy broke her own Heptagonal record and matched an NCAA Indoor record with a high jump of 1.97 meters. Gyorffy also won the triple jump, with a distance of 12.74 meters. It was the third consecutive season that Gyorffy had won both events.

Taylor single-handedly scored more points then two whole teams at this meet, winning the 55 meter sprint (7.08), the 55 meter high hurdles (7.87), and the 200 meters (24.41). She also ran a leg in the fifth-place 4x800 relay team.

Taylor has been the work-horse for the track team all season long, winning two or more events for the Crimson on a consistent basis.

Junior Marna Schutte also came up huge for the Crimson, winning the 400 meters (56.09) and placing second beyond Taylor in the 200 meters (24.90).

The Crimson 4x400 relay team of Barron, Schutte, sophomore Carrie McGraw, and freshman Amanda Shanklin, finished first with a time of 3:51.81. It was almost the same team that was victorious at the Millrose Games in the Madison Square Garden earlier in the season, except Taylor ran that meet instead of Barron.

Freshman Jennifer Leath finished third in the 55-meters behind Taylor and a Navy runner with a time of 7.31 seconds.

Other freshman scoring points for Harvard were Helena Ronner, who finished sixth in the long jump (5.68m), and Kendra Barron, who finished fifth in the 400 meters (58.20)

Sophomore Natalie Grant, who set an Ivy record earlier in the season, came up with a second place finish in the weight throw (16.57 m).
