Harvard may have dominated the Ivy League in 14 different sports this year, but when it came to track and field, the rest of the league had the Crimson’s number.

In head-to-head matchups during the indoor and outdoor seasons, the Harvard track and field teams only managed to edge one Ivy opponent—when the Crimson men beat Columbia to finish seventh at the indoor championships.

In the opening meet of the season against Northeastern, the men started off with one of their best performances of the year, defeating the Huskies 75-68.

The final relay of freshmen Haibo Lu and Christopher Green, sophomore Sean Barrett and co-captain Alasdair McLean-Foreman pulled out a 150-meter victory in the final race of the meet to cap the victory.

The women did not fare as well, losing to the crosstown rival 77-50.

In late January, the two teams saw their first Ivy competition of the year when they squared off against Cornell and Brown. Neither Harvard team put up much of a fight, although freshman Chidimma Kalu won the 50-meter and 200-meter dashes to begin an impressive season for the young sprinter.

For the men, seniors Samyr Laine and Kristoffer Hinson also took victories in the triple jump and shot put, respectively.

Just two weeks later, the Crimson faced a similar fate against Yale and Princeton when both teams lost by over 40 points to the Tigers.

The usual suspects—Laine and Hinson—both won again, while seniors Tekky Andrew-Jaja and McLean-Foreman also beat out the Ivy competition.

Andrew-Jaja won the high jump by clearing 2.09 meters, while McLean-Foreman was victorious in the 1,000-meter run, crossing the line in a time of 2:29.25.

Senior Eleanor Thompson won the 50-meter hurdles in 9.03 seconds.

At the end of February, the Heptagonal Championships came to Cambridge as Harvard hosted the league’s final meet of the indoor season.

The home track advantage did not pan out, however, as the Crimson fans were outnumbered and outshouted by their Ivy counterparts. The men finished seventh and the women eighth.

“Cornell, Brown and Dartmouth were very vocal and supportive...of their respective high jumpers competing,” Andrew-Jaja wrote in an e-mail. “Their numbers served to make Harvard look grossly underrepresented at home.”

Laine leaped 15.82 meters to the triple-jump victory and an All-Ivy nod. Hinson also earned the distinction for his second-place finish in the shot put, while freshman sensation Lindsey Scherf was awarded it for her second-place finish in the 5,000-meter run.
