Track and Field To Host Ivy League Indoor Heps Championship

Captains Ben Glauser and Jarvis Harris will be among those expected to step up for the team, as the classmates have provided solid performances throughout the season in the weight throw and sprints, respectively.

Glauser will be joined in the weight throw by sophomore Joshua Whitener, as the two athletes took second and third in the event last year.

Harris will not be the only sprinter looking to make an impact, as rookies Malcolm Johnson and Ahmed Obed will look to provide points in their first Heps experience.

The distance component will be led by junior Tom Purnell, while seniors Will Geiken and Connor Reck look to contribute as well in their last Indoor Heps meet.

While certain individuals are tabbed for big performances, it will take a team effort from both newcomers and veterans in order to pull off the sweep and take home the title on both sides, a feat the team is confident on considering their success so far.
