Another outstanding performance came from junior Marna Schutte. Schutte, who normally runs the 200-meter and 400-meter dash. Instead, she decided to enter the 800-meter event.

"I enjoyed the 800 in high school," Schutte said. "So the beginning of the season seemed like the perfect time to run it before the real competition had begun."

Schutte must remember high school well--she finished second in the 800, crossing the line with a time of 2:18.

Even though the Crimson lost a large number of athletes to graduation last year, it has gained ample talent in the freshman class. Out of the seven athletes who placed fourth or above in their respective events, five were freshmen.

Not far behind the fleet-footed Taylor was freshman Jennifer Leath. Leath was a close second to Taylor in the trials for the 60-meter dash, falling to her by .01 seconds. Leath eventually finished second to Taylor's first place in the 60-meter dash finals. Freshman shot putter Jill Kornetsky ruled the field, placing first with a throw of 12.99 meters. Freshmen Alayna Miller, Deirdre Colgan, and Bryce Weed also made significant contributions in their respective events.
