“Winning both events was definitely a goal I had going into the meet,” Franklin said.

“It feels really good and really special.”

Indeed, it was a special meet for both Franklin and co-captain Paige Kouba, who claimed victory in the 3000-meter steeplechase with a time of 10:05.30. Kouba also finished third in the 1500-meter run.

In the throws, Okwelogu cruised to wins in the discus and shot put, with her throw in the latter of 56’3” more than ten feet better than the second place effort.

On the men’s side, the Crimson’s lone victory came in the 4x800-meter relay—an event which Harvard also won at the indoor championships.

Freshman Myles Marshall ran the final leg of the relay, helping the team overcome a half second deficit at the 2400 meter mark.

“Myles is a special talent, and the sky’s the limit [for him],” Saretsky said. “The biggest thing for us is that we want him to continue to work hard and improve.”

Elsewhere, junior Efe Uwaifo took home silver in the triple jump with a leap of 15.79 meters. Fellow junior Julian Nunally claimed sixth in both the discus throw and shot put.

The Crimson men also took home fourth-place finishes in the pole vault and 110-meter hurdles, courtesy of junior Andrew Roney and sophomore Jay Hebert, respectively.
