The Harvard women's track team renewed its history of domination against Yale with a 104-50 thrashing of the Elis on Saturday. The Harvard men also won convincingly, 92-71.
Harvard Women 104, Yale 50
The Crimson women won every outdoor dual meet against Yale through the course of the 1990s. But then the Elis stunned Harvard last year, 82-72, to end the ten-year win streak.
Let the new streak begin.
"It was redemption," said Harvard co-captain Brenda Taylor, who won three individual events for the Crimson. "We came back with a vengeance. We let out our frustration from last year and Indoor Heps. We knew we had to put it all together down the home stretch going into Outdoor Heps [in two weeks]."
Taylor won the 100-meter dash in a school-record time of 11.91 seconds. She shaved sixth-hundreths off of the school record she set last year at Outdoor Heps. The record had been held previously by two-time Olympian Meredith Rainey-Valmon `90.
