Track Gears Up for Heps

Harvard Men

The Crimson men will be hard-pressed to stay close with the Tigers on their home turf, but Harvard did have a strong showing at Indoor Heps this year, placing fourth—just nine-points back of second-place Penn. Last year's eighth-place finish at Outdoor Heps was an aberration.

The men's team is led by its throwers, co-captains Chris Clever and John Kraay.

Clever is ranked fourth in the nation in the javelin based on his 73.78-meter throw at the Penn Relays.

Kraay will look to improve upon his second-place finish in the shot put last year, and he and sophomore Ian Shelswell are at the top of the league in the discus.

On the track, freshman Alasdair McLean-Foreman was the brightest spot of Indoor Heps for the Crimson, winning the 800-meter run. He will look for a repeat performance. Sophomores Chris Antunes and John Traugott have both stepped up their performances in recent weeks.

Junior Kobie Fuller in the 400-meter dash, and senior Chuck Nwokocha and sophomore Sean Meeker in the 100-meter dash, are among Harvard's best bets for points in the sprints.

Senior Ed Baker, a consistent scorer for Harvard in the distances, will look to close out strong in his final Heptagonal meet.
