The Harvard men’s and women’s track teams opened their seasons on Saturday with typical dual meet victories over Boston College.

And women’s track and field co-captain Nicky Grant opened the season with her usual record-breaking effort in the weight throw.

Grant’s 18.90-meter throw—a personal record by 70 centimeters— was the standout performance in the women’s track team’s 70-57 victory over BC. It was the second consecutive season that Grant had opened her indoor season with a PR.

The men’s track team won 13 of 17 events en route to a 97-44 victory, led by co-captain Kobie Fuller who won two of the sprints.

For the majority of the men’s track team, Saturday’s meet was just a chance to establish a base performance before the real competition begins.

Fuller thought the team produced solid results that it could build on as it prepares for the Indoor Heptagonal Championships at the end of February.

“[The results] are a good thing because we know what to work for, to definitely catapult up and take the Ivy championship,” Fuller said.

Fuller was the only athlete of the meet to win two events—the 200 and 400-meter dashes. Only the 400 is run at Heps, and Fuller is one of the favorites, having finished third in the event last year. He will look to improve on Saturday’s 49.12-second performance.

“It wasn’t too fast but it was a good base for the year,” Fuller said. “I’ll definitely be able to drop my times down for the rest of the season.”

While Fuller was establishing a base in the 400, senior thrower David Grimm was setting new standards.

Grimm won the shot put with a throw of 15.79 meters—a PR by just over half a meter. He attributed the performance to some newfound relaxation. The throw qualified him for the IC4A meet, the highest-level of competition other than NCAAs.

“I wasn’t tense before this meet for some reason,” he said. “If I [keep this up] I should place in Heps. It’s my senior year so I want to do well.”

Other solid performances for the men came from junior Chris Antunes who won the 800 in 1:55.31 and co-captain John Cinelli who won the 1000 in 2:31.55. Both times, though early in the season, were close to what would be necessary to score at Heps.
