Yesterday was also the final Heptagonal meet in the outstanding careers of senior Dora Gyorffy and co-captain Marna Schutte. Both earned their fourth consecutive individual in their respective feature events, Gyorffy in the high jump and Schutte in the 400-meter dash.

Schutte won the 400 in 55.26 seconds and also placed fifth in the 200. By winning four consecutive 400 titles, she matched the feat of two-time Olympian Meredith Rainey `90.

Gyorffy won the high jump at a height of 1.90 meters, a few centimeters short of the meet record she set her freshman year, yet far better than any other collegiate high jumper has performed this season. Sophomore Kart Siilats, who won the NCAA Indoor Championship in March, placed second with a height of 1.74 meters.

Gyorffy also won the triple jump for the third season in a row with a jump of 13.05 meters, her best career performance at Outdoor Heps. Sophomore Helena Ronner finished third in the event with a 12.46 meter-effort. Ronner also came close to placing in the long jump, which was won by Lindsay Taylor, but came a few centimeters short.

The Crimson's remaining first-place finish came in the mile relay, which closed out the meet. The team of junior Carrie McGraw, Taylor, Shanklin and Schutte won comfortably with a time of 3:44.37.

McGraw also placed fifth in the 400 earlier in the day.

The 4x100 relay team, came up just short of a victory, placing second behind Brown. The team of Miller, Brenda Taylor, McGraw, and Schutte finished a half-second behind the Brown team which was anchored by Lindsay Taylor.
