Both Dinneen and Taylor had taken All-American honors last year as well.

If Gyorffy set a personal best in the high jump, she would have set a new NCAA record with at least a 1.98-meter jump. At Heptagonals, she tied the NCAA indoor high jump record by leaping 1.97 meters. She also won the NCAA Indoor Championships in March, clearing 1.94 meters.

In the finals, Gyorffy found herself essentially going one-on-one with her top rival, Erin Aldrich of Texas. Both competitors easily cleared 1.87 in the first round. They then moved on to 1.90, where Aldrich nailed her jump but Gyorffy faltered.

Gyorffy could've attempted the 1.90 jump again, and her past performances suggest that she would've connected if given another try. Instead, Gyorffy opted to follow Aldrich to the 1.94 level that she won the March tournament with. Neither competitor could clear the bar, and Aldrich brought the title to Texas at 1.90.

Next up for Gyorffy, who has won All-American honors at both NCAA Indoors and Outdoors in each of her three years at Harvard, will be the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. She will represent Hungary at the Games and in summer meets in Europe.

In the javelin throw, Clever placed fourteenth overall with a toss of 65.78 meters (215'10) in the first flight of the preliminary rounds.

The throw was good for seventh in his heat, but only the top nine performers of the two heats advanced to the finals.
