In the weight throw, junior Nicky Grant won easily with a 17.31-meter toss. As of last week, no one else in the Ivies had broken 17 meters this season--Grant has now done it three times. Freshman Breeanna Gibson placed fourth in the weight throw, then placed second in the shot put with a new personal best of 12.46 meters.

Freshman Kart Sillats clearing the 1.73-meter bar was enough to win the high jump and freshman Sandra Venghaus placed third.

Senior high-jumper Dora Gyorffy is now back on campus after taking off the fall semester to compete in the Sydney Olympics. Both she and Sillats will be competing together this weekend at the Millrose Games, the self-proclaimed greatest indoor track and field event in the world.

Sophomore Alayna Miller placed second in both the long jump and the triple jump, while senior Kathryn Ousley earned a crucial third-place finish in the triple jump.

Sophomore Helena Ronner--typically a sure winner in the long jump and triple jump--was out due to illness. The return of Gyorffy and Ronner should provide a significant boost to the Crimson's final tally in the coming weeks..

Harvard Men

The Crimson throwers were solid as expected on Saturday. In the shot put, Kraay won convincingly with a 16.33-meter toss--one of the best throws in the Ivies this year. Kraay, sophomore Xavier Goss and freshman Adam Gelardi gave Harvard a one-two-three finish in the event. Co-captain Chris Clever led Harvard in the shot put with a second-place finish, and senior Tarek Hamid finished fourth.

Nwokocha won the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.03 seconds. Sophomore John Meeker placed right behind him in second to give the Crimson a one-two finish. Junior Shawn Parker and sophomore Niall Murphy finished second and fourth, respectively, to earn points for Harvard in the 60-meter high hurdles.
