A pair of seniors posted top-10 results in the jumps. Spencer Lemons reached 1.94 meters in the high jump, earning the San Luis Obispo, Calif. resident a seventh-place finish. In the triple jump, Malcolm Mason Rodriguez placed sixth with a mark of 14.55 meters.

“There were some performances that were really stellar and some school records broken, and that’s always good to see, especially early in the season,” Captain Paige Kouba said. “There were also some areas that we have to improve on and work on going forward.”

JOE DONAHUE GAMES

Staying closer to home, the Crimson picked up even more top-10 results at the Joe Donahue Games at Northeastern.

On the track, junior Sylvia Deppen led the women with a pair of top-10 results in the 60 meter hurdles and the 200 meter dash with times of 8.86 and 25.54 seconds, respectively. Senior Chris Allen placed fifth in the mile run with a mark of 4:17.25, four seconds faster than his previous best.

In the field events, sophomore Lucia Alexander and junior Haley Baker finished eighth and ninth in the high jump and long jump with marks of 1.61 meters and 5.56 meters respectively. Freshman Nicole Trenchard and senior Lexie Schachne, meanwhile, finished fifth and sixth in the pole jump, respectively.

Freshman Ian West and junior Andrew Roney chipped in with top-10 finishes of their own, clearing marks of 4.80 meters in the pole vault to finish sixth and seventh overall, respectively.

With the results, Harvard track and field appears to already be in good shape looking forward despite it being so early in the season.

“It’s still pretty early in the season, so it’s really exciting to see all these [runners] getting after it,” Payne said.
