Long Distance Events Help M. Track to Win

Women lose out after being downed in both relay events

Another freshman came through for the Crimson in the 3,000-meter run as Sarah Bourne beat out the second-place runner for Northeastern by nine seconds to finish with a time of 10:29.69.

In the mile, Maludzinski took home the victory with a time of 5:16.79. In the 800 meter run, she finished just over a second behind freshman Julia Rozer’s winning time of 2:17.69.

“The mile was a very strategic race—the first half went out in 2:50, the second half closed in 2:25—I took it out slowly and waited for someone to pass so that I could drift off her, but it didn’t happen until halfway through,” Maludzinski said.

Rosalinda Castaneda, Harvard’s other captain and another key component of its long distance runnimg corps, could not race on Saturday because of a knee injury.

Although Harvard did not have one senior in the field events, it won the high jump and the weight throw on the efforts of its underclassmen.

Sophomore Sandra Stankovic lept to victory in the high jump by clearing a height of 1.65 meters. Freshman Maureen Boyle’s throw of 12.97 meters was good enough to beat a field of weight throwers that was entirely composed of first-year collegiate athletes.
