The Crimson struggled in the relays Saturday, coming in third in both the 4-x-400 meter and 4-x-800 meter relays, with the Tigers earning first place points in both events and Yale seizing back-to-back second place finishes.
In the field, Harvard dominated the weight throw as it swept the top three spots. Junior Ben Glauser won the event with a distance of 19.33 meters while freshman Josh Whitener and senior Dustin Brode took second and third, respectively.
The meet brought the indoor regular season to a close, as the Crimson will compete next March 1st at Dartmouth for the Ivy League Championships. This will be the first time since the Dartmouth Relays that Harvard will have more than a week between competitions. Some runners will continue to compete in the week off in order to stay fresh for the meet, while others will use the week to focus on training rather than the stress of racing.
“[The HYP meet] is a chance for us to focus on head to head competition,” Saretsky said. “It’s a real perfect stepping stone as we get ready for the Ivy Championships in two weeks.”
