In the classic Harvard-Yale-Princeton tri-meet this weekend, the Crimson track and field teams were outdone by the larger rosters of their opponents, who stacked the events with enough representatives to ensure a substantial advantage in total points.

Despite posting a number of individual wins and even a few sweeps Saturday in New Haven, the Harvard men’s 35 points could not upset either the Tigers or the Bulldogs, who finished with 80 and 55 points, respectively.

On the women’s side, the Crimson suffered from the loss of a couple of key pieces to its puzzle and only managed 19 points, while Yale earned 65 and Princeton had 75.

Harvard’s points, however, included a number of personal record performances as well as impressive shows by an array of talented freshmen.

The next meet for the entire team is the climax of the season—the Heptagonal championships in which Harvard will race for the Ivy League crown.

Although losses in dual meets to league competitors does not bode well for the Crimson, a number of runners are in prime position to take home the victory in their events.

The meet will be held here at the Gordon Track and Field Center on Feb. 26th.

MEN

Unlike the women, the Harvard men could not find their rhythm in the sprinting events.

Jonathan Wofsy registered the Crimson’s only points in an event that was shorter than 1000 meters. He placed third in the 500-meter dash with a time of 1:05.1.

A strong showing in the field events led the Crimson to the majority of its points on the day by sweeping the top two spots in the triple jump, high jump, and shot put.

In the jumping events, juniors Samyr Laine and Lawrence Adjah went one-two with scores of 15.45 and 14.95 meters, respectively.

Senior Tekky Andrew-Jaja placed first in the high jump again versus Ivy League competition by clearing 2.09 meters. The result—a personal record—now leaves him by himself with the second-best mark in the Ivy Leagues this season.

He was followed in second place by teammate and junior Clifford Emmanuel, whose mark of 2.06 meters was still .05 above that of the nearest competitor. Emmanuel’s jump matched his personal record and marked his first competition in almost eight months as he spent the past semester in China.

“To be honest, I’m more worried about what Cliff can do at [Heptagonals] than what Ray Bobrownicki of Brown or David Pell of Cornell, jumpers whose personal bests and level of performance I can gauge,” Andrew-Jaja joked after Emmanuel’s impressive leap this weekend.
