Track Closes Indoor Season with School Records

“[In the preliminaries] the guys rocked it, and today we came in even hotter,” Hill said. “Even better is that all six of us who were involved are returning next year, so we’re going to be looking to knock on the door of the [school] record.”

The victory proved especially sweet for Chenoweth, who had come in as runner-up at IC4As the past two years.

“The distance medley is sort of like ‘Captain Planet,’ because you have to have all the elements together,” Chenoweth said. “[Winning] was definitely better than second. It was a pretty big meet, so it was cool that we put together a good race.”

The meet was so large, in fact, that some Harvard competitors stood out despite finishing out of the top 10. Freshman Ablorde Ashigbi finished 13th in the weight throw while sophomore John Dingus broke his own school record in the 400-meter race with a time of 47.73—but finished one spot out of the finals.

Hill and Davis logged extra time on the track this weekend, traveling to New York City to compete at the Columbia Last Chance Meet at the Armory Track and Field Center on Friday.

Davis raced outside her normal distance, but managed a fourth-place finish in the 800-meter race with a time of 2:09.17. Hill—right at home at the 800 distance—won the same event in 1:49.96.
