Schutte is the three-time defending meet champion the 400-meter dash, and she has also placed highly in the 200-meter dash at past Heps.

Harvard's 4x400 relay team of Taylor, Schutte, Shanklin, and sophomore Ashley Furst, which placed first against a field of Heptagonal rivals at the Penn Relays, hopes for more of the same success at Heps. The same goes for the 4x100 Harvard relay team, which broke the school record while winning at Outdoor Heps last year.

In the jumps, no one in the Ivies is close to Harvard. Senior Dora Gyorffy is the nation's best in the high jump, and sophomore Kart Siilats was this year's NCAA Indoor champion. Brown's Lindsay Taylor has made strides in the high jump as of late and could contend for second.

Gyorffy is also the two-time defending meet champion in the triple jump. Sophomore Helena Ronner is capable of placing highly in the triple jump, and also has the potential to take the long jump title.

The biggest difference between last year's women's team, which placed third at Outdoor Heps behind Brown and Dartmouth, and this year's team is in the throws. Last year's team scored just five points in the throws. This years throwers expect many more.

The throwers are led by junior Nicky Grant, who has improved rapidly this season. She is in contention to win the hammer throw, and should place highly in the shot put as well.

Among the freshman, Breeanna Gibson is in contention to place in the shot put and the discus. Johanna Doyle has been improving throughout the season in the hammer, and Alexandra Petrone has been leading the team in the javelin.
