This past weekend, not a day went by without a Crimson track athlete involved in high-profile action.

On Friday, superstar high-jumper Dora Gyorffy and the Harvard 4x400 relay team took a trip to Madison Square Garden to compete in the Millrose Games, the nation's oldest invitational track meet. The meet was aired on network television on Saturday afternoon.

Then on Saturday, the Crimson hosted the Harvard Select Meet at the Gordon Track Center. Competing against Harvard at the individual-only meet were athletes from Northeastern, Boston College, and the Central Mass. Striders, a local club team. Despite missing some of its top athletes, the Harvard women's team put forth a solid effort, winning nine of the 15 events of the day, while the men's team managed to come up with three individual victories.

To cap off the weekend, captain Brenda Taylor and junior Ed Baker headed to the Reggie Lewis Track Center to compete at the New Balance Invitational on Sunday afternoon. Results were not available at press time.

Millrose Games

As one of the nation's top collegiate high jumpers, junior Dora Gyroffy doesn't normally have to face much competition during the indoor track season. But at the Millrose Games, Gyroffy was matched up against some up the best professional athletes in the United States.

Gyorffy was able to force a showdown between herself and Nike-sponsored Tisha Waller. Both cleared 1.89 meters, the same height that Gyorffy jumped to finish second at the NCAA Indoors last year. Neither was able to clear the next height, and because Waller cleared the previous bar in fewer attempts, Waller was named the winner, while Gyroffy was left with another second-place finish.

The women's 4x400 relay team, competing against Army, Princeton, Duke and St. John's, managed to pull off an exciting victory in its heat.
