Track Dominates B.C. in Opener

Saturday, she surpassed that personal best with a new one of 17.71 meters that even beat last year's Ivy-best mark, set by Yale's Melanie Harris at Indoor Heps, by a hundredth of a meter.

Sophomore Helena Ronner, who won the long jump and the triple jump, was the only multi-event winner other than Taylor from the defending Heptagonal Champions.

Junior Carrie McGraw and Sophomore Amanda Shanklin won the 400-meter and 500-meter runs, respectively, to complete Harvard's domination of the shorter distances.

The Crimson failed to come out on top in any of the distance events.

Two freshmen other than Sillants won events in their Harvard debuts: Andrea Li cleared 11 feet to win the pole vault, and Breeanna Gibson made a 12.13-meter throw to win the shot put.

Harvard Men 96, Boston College 48

The Crimson was boosted by a welcome edition to its team--a healthy freshman sprinter that wins. Brendan Smith took the 60-meter (7.6 seconds) and 200-meter (22.0 seconds) sprints in his Harvard debut.

Junior Kobie Fuller won the 400-meter run in 48.7 seconds. Senior John Friedman won the 3000-meter run in 8:45 and freshman Alistair McLean-Forman won the mile with a time of 4:19 to give Harvard the advantage in the distance running.
