While the Harvard squads’ top competitors were in the Badger State, a number of the team’s other runners traveled to Princeton to face off against some local competition.

Senior Sean Pohorence led the way for the men’s team with a time of 24:48, good for 18th place overall. The other four Crimson scoring runners were just behind the senior, giving Harvard an unusually low six-second pack time.

“We started off the race a little bit disconnected,” Pohorence said. “But once we got linked up in the middle, it was easy to keep that going because we’re so used to seeing each other in workouts at practice.”

The men’s team’s point total of 110 was good for second place, topping Ancient Eight foes Cornell and Princeton, who finished in seventh and 14th place, respectively. Led by freshman Selena Pasadyn, the Crimson women scored 283 points and finished in 10th place at the Princeton Invite. Columbia took home the team title, tallying just 83 points on the day.

“As a team, I think we showed just what we’re capable of,” Saretsky said. “There’s a lot of excitement, and confidence, and great momentum moving into the Heps in two weeks.”
