The other Harvard athletes to win their events last weekend were junior John Traugott in the 800, sophomore Tekky Andrew-Jaja in the high jump and senior Shawn Parker in the 60-meter hurdles. Parker’s time of 8.17 seconds would be enough to place him highly in Heps in any season.

Cinelli came close to joining the list of winners in the mile, but he was edged out by Brown senior Scott MacDonald by two-hundredths of a second. Cinelli said that his plan was to go out with the leaders and make a move as he approached the final lap, but MacDonald caught him in the end.

“I think I made my move a little too early,” Cinelli said. “In hindsight if I had waited I would probably have had a better chance, but it’s tough to make that judgment when you’re out there.”

Brown won just one other event on Saturday, while Cornell won nine to dominate the meet. The Big Red was especially strong in the field where it won both throwing events, the long jump and the triple jump.

“It was kind of wakeup call that tells us that Cornell’s a team we have to take seriously come Heps,” Cinelli said.

The results were also skewed a bit by the absence of Harvard co-captain Kobie Fuller, who set a school indoor record in the 400 in his most recent meet. Fuller was unable to compete due to a tight hamstring.

The next meet for the team, minus McLean-Foreman, will be the Greater Boston Championships hosted by Boston University. The meet should feature most of the top collegians from Boston area schools, which get to choose four competitors for each event.
