“I want to recognize how phenomenal the athletes at Oxford and Cambridge are considering they have no support from their university and no coaches yet both of the matches were very close,” Nunally said. “That is a testament to their work ethic and discipline.”

The co-captain carried the shot put competition easily, tossing the shot a distance of 16.42 meters and finishing nearly two meters further than his closest Achilles Club competitor, Angus Lockhart at 14.79 meters. In discus, Nunally out threw Lockhart again to claim gold, only this time it was by a margin of 12.50 meters with the co-captain throwing for a distance of 46.05 meters.

Freshman Donagh Mahon got on the board for the Crimson as well, taking first in the high jump with a leap of 1.94 meters. In sprints, Jacob McLennan claimed Harvard’s final gold with a time of 53.77 seconds in the 400-meter hurdles, just under three seconds ahead of the next closest finisher.

Following the competitions, an award ceremony was held by the Bulldogs where dinner was served and the winners of each event were honored.

“The competition went well and both the men and women's joint teams defeated Oxford and Cambridge but when it comes to what we gained from this event together I would say that we are all winners,” Nunally said. “Of course, Yale put on a phenomenal banquet after the meet and we dressed up, ate, and handed out awards to the top performers. This was a great event, a fun competition, and more importantly an exchange of culture brought upon us by being members of Harvard track and it was an honor to be able to continue in this history.”
