“Maybe I could not have finished better on that given day,” Maludzinski said, “but there were people who I was right behind last year and they finished in the top 12 this year, and I think that I should be up with them.”

At NCCA Regionals, the last team meet of the year, Harvard repeated its sixth-place finish from a week before, but this time in a field of 33.

McLean-Foreman led the way once again, taking 11th—falling to both Steve Sundell of Columbia who won Heptagonals and Meyer of Yale, the first time McLean-Foreman had lost all year.

Following his teammate closely in 15th place was sophomore Timothy Galebach in one of his best races of the year.

The women also had a successful end to the season, taking home 13th at the Regionals, with O’Callaghan finishing up her Harvard cross country career with a 38th-place finish.

While the women will be graduating O’Callaghan and fellow varsity runner Whelan, almost the entire men’s team will return next fall when the Crimson will be one of the favorites to win Heptagonals.
