Athlete Of The Week
Athletes of the Week: Christina Cornelius and Grace Roberts Burbank
After suffering three successive losses coming into this past weekend, Harvard women's volleyball had a strong showing in its past two games, spearheaded by captain Christina Cornelius and junior hitter Grace Roberts Burbank.
Athlete of the Week: Jillian Wachira
Jillian Wachira’s first career goal could hardly have come at a better time. In a tense, low-scoring game against a strong Yale team, her 29th minute game-winning strike was just enough to ensure victory for Harvard women’s soccer.
Athlete of the Week: Maddie Earle
Earle completed her hat trick in the 58th minute, with a second assist from van Vlijmen, securing Harvard’s win.
Athlete of the Week: Madsen, Farris Headline Strong Harvard Sports Weekend
In the 200 freestyle finals on Friday, Farris finished fourth with a time of 1:32.25. This may not immediately jump out as noteworthy until recognizing that the top-three finishers were all former Olympic swimmers.
Olympic Performance
Freshman Dean Farris put on quite the show at the NCAA Championship meet, breaking two school records and finishing just behind three former Olympians in the 200 freestyle finals.
Gabby Thomas Makes History in Finals Debut
Finishing with the seventh-fastest overall time in the semifinals, Thomas became the first woman from the Ivy League to ever advance to the 200-meter dash final at indoor NCAAs.
Athlete of the Week: Farris High-Point Swimmer at Ivy Championships
Freshman Dean Farris claimed the Phil Moriarty high-point swimmer of the meet award at the Ivy League Swimming and Diving Championships. The first-year contributed 96 points to the 370 point margin that separated Crimson from its closest competitor, Penn.
Athlete of the Week: Wang Back in Action with Record-Setting Performance
It is not particularly unusual for sophomore Sonia Wang to put a team on her back. At last weekend’s Ivy League Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships, Wang brought unusual meaning to that common phrase.
Athlete of the Week: Aiken Makes His Case for Ivy League Rookie of the Year
Against Yale this weekend, rookie Bryce Aiken put up 27 points on 7-of-17 shooting.
All-Star Aiken
Although he is only a freshman, Bryce Aiken is making big shots for the Harvard men's basketball team this season.

Playing its first matches of 2017 at the Murr Center, the women's tennis team picked up its first three victories of the season, stymieing Boston College, Georgetown, and Rhode Island over the weekend. Captain June Lee, junior Annika Ringblom, and freshman Irene Lu all won three singles matches over the two days. For her performance, Lee is The Crimson’s Athlete of the Week.
Athlete of the Week: Kerfoot Is Making More Plays Than Ever
Remember that hypothesis predicting Harvard’s co-captain might see his production drop without the heroics of Jimmy Vesey and Kyle Criscuolo? That’s now obsolete. Because Kerfoot looks to be on his way to the best season he’s ever had.
Athlete of the Week: Junior Taylor Rooks Comes Up Big in Win Over Fairfield
On the night where the usually prolific shooting of the Crimson was absent, Coach Kathy Delaney-Smith needed a spark from the bench, and that spark came in the form of Rooks.
Athlete of the Week: Senior Corie Bain Shines in Final Weekend with Women's Volleyball
Corie Bain is one of the best—if not the singular best—player in the history of Harvard women’s volleyball.
