The outdoor meets thus far for the Harvard women's track team couldn't have been much closer.
On Saturday's tri-meet at Dartmouth with Brown the three teams were so close that nobody had a clue who had won until the final tally was announced.
And to the relief of everyone wearing Crimson, Harvard came out on top with 67 points, followed by Brown with 64, and the hosts with 61.
A mere three points--the equivalent of a second-place finish in a single event-- decided each place, which meant that every individual was crucial to the outcome.
This was the second straight week the women's track team had been involved in a tight contest. At last week's Bayou Classic in Texas, champion Stephen F. Austin, Harvard, and Rice all finished within two points of each other.
The men's tri-meet wasn't nearly as close. Dartmouth won with 90 points. Brown finished a distant second with 58, while Harvard tallied 47.
