The Crimson men won five individual events on Saturday. Harvard's throwers, who won three events, propelled the Harvard-Yale team into the lead. In the relays, the Oxford-Cambridge team won the 4x100 relay, but the Harvard-Yale team took the 4x400 by a two-second margin at 3:18.04 to secure the meet.

As expected, co-captain Chris Clever won the javelin and fellow captain John Kraay won the shot put. They were both a few meters short of their best performances-Clever at 66.06 meters and Kraay at 15.88 meters.

Encouraging results came in the discus. Sophomore Ian Shelswell produced a 47.74-meter throw and Kraay reached 46.50 meters to place one-two. Shelswell's throw was among the best in the Ivies this season and approximately long enough to score at Heps.

The Crimson's two wins on the track came from junior Kobie Fuller and senior John Friedman. Fuller won the 400 in 49.86 seconds, while Friedman won the 5000 in 15:19.08
