M., W. Track Competes at ECAC's, IC4A's

In addition to Gyorffy and Taylor, the Crimson will also be sending Schutte to compete in the 400-meter run. At Heps last weekend, Schutte won the 400-meters with a personal best of 54.54 seconds, which was also nearly a full two seconds ahead of the rest of the competition.

While the women are competing at the ECAC's, several of the Crimson men will be contending to win their individual events at the IC4A's, the male equivalent of the ECAC's.

Juniors Chris Clever, John Kraay, and Arthur Fergusson will be seeking to outdo their individual performances last weekend at Heps.

Clever defended his league title in the javelin with a throw of 221', and in the shot put, Kraay captured a second-place finish with a 54' effort, which was a full three-foot improvement from his attempt at last year's Heps.

Fergusson will be another one of the Crimson's biggest threats this weekend after enjoying a career performance at Heps last weekend. In addition to placing second in the triple jump, which is his signature event, he also broke the seven-meter mark in the long jump for the first time this season. He won second place in the event with a leap of 7.20 meters.

"My primary goal is to do a lot better in the triple jump," Fergusson said. "I'm getting better at the long jump, so I'd like to see myself do a lot better at it, but the triple event is my primary event, so I'm more connected to it."

Captain Darren Dinneen, who placed third in the 800-meter with a time of 1:48.45 at Heps, will be seeking to outdo his performance last weekend with an even stronger performance at the IC4A's. Senior David Martin, who won fourth in the 3000-meter steeplechase, will be the only Harvard long-distance runner to compete for the Crimson.

After competing in individual events at the ECAC's and IC4A's this weekend, the Crimson will travel to Duke in ten days for the NCAA Championships.
