In the running events, co-captain Ashley Furst and freshman Anne Hillier were solid in the 400 meters. Hillier placed third in the event at outdoor HEPS.

Many athletes on the men’s side were forced to miss competition throughout the year due to injury.

Senior Chris Lambert blazed the way for the Crimson, dominating the sprinting events. He won the 100 meters at outdoor HEPS and the 60 meters at indoor HEPS. After finishing fifth at the NCAA regional meet last weekend, he now moves on to NCAA championships to be held in Sacramento later this month.  

Freshman Sam Laine was also a standout for the Harvard men, as he excelled in the triple jump throughout the season. He placed second at both indoor and outdoor HEPS, and also earned all-Ivy honors in the event.  

Overall, the Harvard men’s team finished eighth at indoor HEPS and seventh at outdoor HEPS.  

Several Harvard athletes will be traveling to Europe this summer to compete in meets in England and Ireland. The Crimson competitors will be joined by athletes from Yale during their trip. The traveling team consists of the top performers during the Harvard-Yale meet held in April.  

As for next year, Adam Gelardi and Onyechi Ezekwueche will captain the men while Gibson and Whelan will lead the women.
