M., W. Track Tune Up at Harvard Low-Key Invitational

Harvard also excelled on the field. D.J. Patterson dominated the shot put with his winning throw of 14.28 meters. Dave Grimm finished third behind Patterson, launching the shot 13.95 meters.

In addition to its success in the shot put, the Crimson also secured a win in the triple jump. Arthur Fergusson placed first with a jump of 14.36 meters. Teammate Francis de la Cruz followed with a third-place jump of 13.26 meters.

Freshman Taylor Buckley rounded out the top performers of the day. Buckley placed second in the high jump at a height of 1.9 meters.

Though the results indicate a smooth season for the Crimson, captain Dominic Patillo said the meet was relatively unimportant.

"It wasn't one of the biggest meets of the schedule. Most of the people worked concessions and timing, so a lot of people weren't racing," Patillo said. " We'll look a lot better after break. Princeton is the [team] we are chasing after, I guess."

Harvard Women

All signs point to an exciting season for the Crimson women. Led by junior co-captain Brenda Taylor, Harvard cashed in on its rigorous training by putting up points in nearly all of its events.

Taylor blazed a trail for the Crimson to follow, winning all three times she set foot onto the track. In the 60-meter dash, Taylor crossed the line first in 7.83 seconds. She outdistanced her competition in the 60-meter hurdles, finishing with a time of 8.65 seconds. Her last race proved to be the icing on the cake as Taylor notched a personal record along with the win in the 200-meter dash. She finished with a time of 24.99 seconds.
