Grant's winning throw in the hammer was the best throw in the Ivies this year, and second on the school's all-time performance list. Freshman Johanna Doyle also had a personal-best throw of 49.72 meters in a third-place finish.
"We started off so strongly and dominated the event," Grant said. "Everyone could feel the electricity, and it transferred to both the men's and women's sides."
Freshman Breeanna Gibson upped her season-best another meter with a 43.74-meter throw to win the discus. Gibson's throw places her in the top five among the Ivy rankings. Freshman Alexandra Petrone won the javelin with a 39.98-meter throw.
"This [performance] shows how deep we really are," Grant said. "Our freshmen have come up big. Scoring 33 of 36 points at this meet shows how strong we're going to be at Heps."
Sophomore Helena Ronner was also a two-event winner, taking the triple jump at 12.35 meters and the long jump at 5.99 meters. Ronner's winning leap in the long jump was the best in the Ivies this Outdoor season.
Senior Dora Gyoffy and sophomore Kart Siilats finished one-two in the high jump, while freshman Andrea Li and sophomores Bryce Weed and Amy Bei swept the pole vault.
