“I told [Reese] before the race that the goal was just to get [a] race under her belt,” Saretsky said. “She went out and executed [the] plan beautifully. She had a really strong finish, and it was good to see her back in action.”

MIT SPRING INVITATIONAL

Freshman Hannah Nunez highlighted the weekend for the track and field athletes who stayed in Cambridge to compete at the MIT Spring Invitational. The rookie finished in the top three in four different events: the 100m hurdles, the 200m dash, the high jump, and the long jump.

“Hannah had a great weekend,” Saretsky said. “I was pleased with her performances and how she is making the transition to being a multi-event athlete. To have such strong performances across those different events is outstanding.”

“I was happy with [my finishes], but not quite satisfied,” Nunez added. “I’m still working to improve, but it was definitely a step in the right direction.”

MT. SAC RELAYS

Freshman distance runner Adam Cotton was Harvard’s sole representative at the Mt. SAC Relays. Cotton, who was competing in just his first race of the season, finished in 20th place in the 1500m run with a time of 3:47.28, the seventh-best in Crimson history.

“I think a lot of people are underestimating the things that we can do,” Cotton said. “Everyone is getting healthy…so it will be exciting to see what we can do at [the Outdoor Heptagonal Championships] in a couple of weeks.”
