Yale Ruins Weekend For Track Teams

Sophomore Kobie Fuller was the Crimson's top sprinter, taking the 100 in 11.24 seconds.

Senior distance runner David Martin also came up big. He won the 3000-meter steeplechase with a 9:19.62 run and placed second in the 5000 with a time of 14:57:00.

Fergusson, dependable as usual, was the Crimson's other two-event winner. He leapt 14.12 meters to win the triple jump, and he won the long jump with a leap of 6.82 meters. Sophomore Kobie Fuller placed second in the triple jump and junior Francis De La Cruz placed third in the long jump, allowing Harvard to dominate the two events.

Sophomore Aaron Snead jumped 15'6 to win the pole vault. Freshman Taylor Buckley cleared the 1.85 meter bar in the fewest attempts to earn a win in the high jump.

The Crimson throwers dominated their competition once again. Junior Chris Clever won the javelin with a throw of 65.68 meters that outdistanced his competition by over 30 feet. Junior John Kraay won the shot put with a 15.86 meter toss, and placed third in the discus.

Chris Cancro and Ian Shelswell earned second-place finishes in the hammer and discuss, respectively.

Despite the loss, the solid performance proved that the team was much better than it had shown in recent meets this year.

"Through our performance yesterday, we regained something we had been missing for a while: the intensity," Fergusson said.
