“I was able to kind of push it near the end a little bit more,” Lindaas said. “And fortunately I was able to take the lead and get the win.”
In the long jump, Crimson senior Graham Infinger and freshman teammate Kenneth Wang Kan finished 1-2 with leaps of 6.55 and 6.48 meters, respectively.
Brady and junior teammate Eric Clayman also turned in strong performances in the hammer throw, finishing third and fourth, respectively. Brady bested his performance at last year’s Brown Springtime Invitational by nearly seven meters and set a career record with his 59.60-meter throw.
The Harvard women dominated the high jump, with freshman Mary Hirst and junior Dina Emde finishing 1-2, with respective leaps of 1.70 and 1.65 meters. It was their second-consecutive 1-2 finish in the event, after doing so at Yale last Saturday.
“I just focused and talked myself into believing I could jump over, and it worked out,” Hirst said. “I was very excited...I knew I made it even before I hit the mat.”
Junior Jessica Fronk also took first place with her 43.48-meter javelin heave.
And in the 100-meter dash, freshman Jasmine Cho came in third overall with a time of 12.59 seconds.
Both Brady and Saretsky said they felt the Springtime Invitational—the team’s final regular-season meet—would serve as good preparation for the playoff competitions, beginning with the Heptagonal Championships on May 8, that lie ahead.
“It was a long weekend for us, but we accomplished a lot,” Brady said. “We got a lot of work in, and I feel like we’re definitely ready for Heps.”
