Harvard Men 92, Yale 71
As with the Crimson women, the throws proved to be the difference in the meet. The Harvard throwers outscored Yale, 32-4.
Co-captain Chris Clever won the javelin at 71.50 meters. Clever already met the automatic qualifier for NCAAs on Apr. 7. His 72.84-meter throw that day places him fifth on the latest national performance list. The NCAA leader is at 74.92 meters.
Co-captain John Kraay and sophomore Ian Shelswell continued to excel in the discus. The two were neck-and-neck, with Kraay winning at 47.86 meters and Shelswell placing second at 47.34. The two are second and third on the Ivy performance lists in the event.
Kraay's 16.83-meter winning throw gave him his outdoor season's best in the shot put, better than anyone in the Ivies outside of Princeton's Scott Denbo. Shelswell also won the hammer with a throw of 50 meters.
Freshman Alasdair McLean-Forman was Harvard's biggest winner on the track, taking the 800-meter run and the 1500-meter run.
Sophomore John Meeker also performed well, taking the 100-meter dash in 10.89 seconds. In the 200-meter dash, he fell short of beating the league's best in the event-Yale's Jason Rife-but still put up time of 21.85 seconds, one of the best times in the Ivies this year.
