In the field events yesterday, junior Dora Gyorffy was a force as usual for Harvard. With victories in the high jump (1.90 meters) and the triple jump (12.99 meters), she earned Outstanding Female Athlete of the Meet honors.
The biggest performance by a Crimson athlete other than Gyorffy, Schutte and Taylor came from freshman Helena Ronner. With a leap of 5.98 meters, she placed second in the long jump.
But that was the only other top-four performance the team would get. The Harvard throwers and distance runners only managed seven points between them in nine events, and no one other than Schutte and Taylor could score in the sprints.
Senior Kathryn Moynihan was the only distance runner to place. Among the throwers freshmen Jill Kornetsky, Donielle Colich and sophomore Natalie Grant each managed to place in the top six for the Crimson.
Harvard Men
Clever successfully defended his league title in the javelin. Despite the graduation of last year's runner-up to Clever, Princeton's Rob Manning, Clever still faced tough competition from another Tiger, the much-improved sophomore Liam Morton.
But Clever stepped up his performance just enough to pull off the victory. He won the event with a throw of 221' that beat Morton by just half a foot. The throw was the closest Clever had been all season to his school-record throw of 228' from last year's Heps.
