W. Track Tops Yale With Heptagonals on Horizon

Other field eventers put up a number of point-scoring performances, earning the majority of the team’s overall points.

Sophomore Christopher Ware took the lead in the throwing events, winning both the shot put and the discus. Harvard won the other throwing event on the 55.59 meter toss by sophomore James Rhodes.

Rhode’s performance definitely impressed his teammates on the field team.

“James Rhodes had a huge day in the hammer, missing the regional qualifier by only three centimeters,” Gelardi said.

The Crimson also took home victories in the high jump, long jump and javelin—rounding out an extremely successful day all around for the field team.

The only runner on the track to grab a victory for Harvard was Timothy Galebach with a time of 15:08.64 in the 3,000m. Right on his heels were freshman Sean Barrett and junior Reed Bienvenu, finishing second and third, respectively, to sweep the race.

Next week the Crimson will leave home to compete in the Penn Relays, looking to hit stride now with the biggest part of the outdoor season coming on.

“Everyone is getting ready for Heptagonals and hopefully we can do some damage,” Gelardi said.

With almost a month left before the championships, the team has time to continue to heal and get ready to make an impact.
