The Crimson did not finish third on the speed of short races alone. Harvard also got points from its field events and from distance runners.

“Our depth definitely put us above some of the other teams,” Fuller said.

The distance pair of Shenk-Boright and Seidel contributedd 30 points to Harvard’s cause with a first-, a third- and two second-place finishes.

In the 5,000-meters, Shenk-Boright finished in second place with a time of 14:34.35. Seidel was less than seven seconds behind, 14:42.28, in scoring third place. They both finished behind Tom McArdle of Darmouth.

The order of finish was flip-flopped somewhat for the 10,000-meters, with Seidel winning the full ten points behind his time of 30:09.14. Shenk-Boright placed third, 10 seconds behind his teammate at 30:19.02.

The only field eventer to finish in the top three was Patterson, whose contribution to the team came from a first-place finish in the discus, which he hurled 50.84 meters.
