School-record performances from track co-captains Brenda Taylor and Chris Clever highlighted the teams' first league tri-meet of the outdoor season against Brown and Dartmouth on Saturday

The Harvard men placed second with 65 points, just ahead of Brown's 54 but well behind Dartmouth's 84. On the women's side, Brown won with 85.5 points, Dartmouth placed second with 53.5, and Harvard placed third with 45.

Without many of its best athletes competing in their strongest events, the women's team score at Saturday's tri-meet was relatively meaningless.

"This meet was more of a chance for our people to evaluate their opposition," Taylor said.

Brown is the three-time defending Outdoor Heptagonal champion, but the Crimson has hopes of upending the Bears come May. Brown and Harvard went one-two at Indoors in February.

"We'll be evenly matched," Taylor said. "I think we'll split the new events, we'll do better in some events and they'll do better in other events. It could be even closer than in indoors."

For the second week in a row, Taylor broke her own school record in the 100-meter high hurdles. She shaved seven-hundredths of a second off her record with a finish of 13.62 seconds. The performance was just two-hundredths short of the NCAA provisional qualifying time.
