The Crimson pulled out all the stops in trying to win this meet. Harvard put Dora Gyorffy in the triple jump, an event she normally only jumps in the Heps. Gyorffy--in her first action with the Crimson during the outdoor season--won the triple jump with 12.15 meters.

In the high jump, her NCAA championship event, Gyorffy won easily with a jump of 1.82 meters. Junior Valerie Dixon placed second.

The other Harvard winners were Bethany Helms, who won the 800 in 2:14.45, and Amy Bei, who won the pole vault with a 10-foot jump. Sophomore Loni Sherwin placed second in the pole vault, giving the Crimson a one-two finish in the event.

The relays were a push. Harvard took the 4x400 relay in 3:51.21, but come up short in the 4x100.

Yale shut Harvard out of any victories in the throws. The Crimson earned second-place finishes in each event--Donielle Colich in the javelin, Sarah Link in the discus, Jill Kornetsky in the shot put and the hammer. Colich was also third in the hammer, and captain Kristy Johnson was third in the shot put.

"It was really close and competitive," Grant said. "It was one of those meets where one person would take the lead, and than another. I was very impressed with the freshmen. Jill and Donielle threw well. Everyone rose to the occasion."

The Crimson women will look to rebound in Sunday's home meet against Boston College. The Outdoor Heptagonals are at Penn beginning May 13th.
