"As they made the announcement that we were winning, all the Texas people were saying, 'Harvard? They do track over there?'" Taylor said. "It was great. We'd have easily won the meet if we had chosen to enter a few more events."
Harvard Men
As usual, the Harvard throwers were superb. Junior Chris Clever's 61.02- meter throw won the javelin, while junior John Kraay's 15.90-meter throw gave him first in the shot put, edging out his nearest competitor by just a hundredth of a meter.
Kraay also placed fourth in the discus. The Crimson's top finisher in the event, freshman Ian Shelswell, earned second with a 46.38-meter throw.
Junior Tarek Hamid's 46.85 throw was good for fourth in the hammer.
Junior Arthur Fergusson won the triple jump (14.70 meters) and placed second in the long jump (6.96 meters).
Senior distance runner David Martin was the other Harvard individual winner, winning a close race in the 3000 steeplechase (9:21.72) which was decided by less than a three-tenths of a second.
