The Harvard men’s track team earned its fair share of trophies and national accolades at the Penn Relays over the weekend to keep Harvard track in the spotlight after the women’s team’s achievements last Thursday.

Co-captain Chris Clever won the javelin Saturday morning with a throw of 73.78 meters, while co-captain John Kraay captured the Eastern shot put championship with a throw of 16.66 meters on Friday.

Clever’s winning throw places him third on the NCAA national performance lists.

“It came on my first throw [of the meet],” Clever said. “It was a pretty good series. The first three were all over 70 meters. I warmed up well, and the weather conditions were good. It just all came together.”

It was Clever’s first win in six tries at the Penn Relays.

“I’ve thrown here twice in high school, four times in college, so this was my last chance to win here,” Clever said. “I’m from Penn, so I’m glad to win of my last opportunity.”

By winning at Penn, Clever beat several athletes who should be top competition at the NCAA championships next month. The best NCAA throw in the country had been 74.92 meters—over a meter better than Clever’s best, but not unreachable. Clever has been stepping up his performances meter-by-meter all season, and Saturday was no exception.

“I’m more confident than I’ve ever been,” Clever said. “I’ve been really consistent in practices and meets, and I think I still have a few more meters left in me.”
