“I don’t mean to make excuses for her, but it was definitely cold and rainy, and she had been out there for two and half hours already,” Haggerty said.

Gyorffy’s victory gave the Crimson an unprecedented double victory in the Indoor and Outdoor high jump by two different athletes. Sophomore Kart Siilats won the NCAA Indoor high jump title in March.

After Gyorffy and Taylor’s graduation, the Harvard women’s track team will be a different kind of team. This year’s senior class, including Gyorffy, Taylor and co-captain Marna Schutte, accounted for approximately 70 points in any given Heptagonal meet and all of Harvard’s NCAA points this past weekend.

“We go back to being regular coaches next year,” Haggerty said. “We coached well this year.”

Next year’s women’s track team will be captained by Carrie McGraw and Nicky Grant. McGraw has been highly competitive in the 400 hurdles and relays when healthy, and Grant is the school-record holder in the weight throw.

“Harvard will definitely be a new and different kind of team next year,” Taylor said. “We’ll continue to evolve. We have some amazing competitors, and I know that Nicky and Carrie will really motivate this team.”
