The improvement began at the very top with Taylor. Fresh off a blazing 54.80 second-time in the 400-meter dash last week at the New Balance Invitational, Taylor kept the fire going this weekend with three impressive victories, two of which beat out her school record times from last year's Heps.

She finished the 55-meter dash in 7.08 seconds to match her school record, and shaved a few hundredths of her school record in the 55-meter hurdles with a time of 7.85 seconds.

Sophomores Alayna Miller and Amanda Shanklin and senior Kathryn Ousley finished right behind Taylor to give the Crimson a clean sweep in the 55-meter hurdles.

Taylor won the 200-meter dash in 24.72 seconds, while Schutte placed second in a season-best time of 25.61 seconds. Schutte also won the 400 convincingly in another season-best of 55.98 seconds.

The Harvard 4x400 relay time won comfortably at 3:51.08. Junior Leeann Hymas's third-place finish in the mile was the Crimson's lone score in the distance runs.

Gyorffy, showing no ill effects from the injuries that plagued her at the Millrose Games last week, cleared the 1.93-meter bar to win the high jump, and surpass the Automatic Qualifying height for NCAAs. It was the highest jump by a collegiate jumper in the country this season, eclipsing the Dec. 2 mark of teammate sophomore Kart Siilats, who jumped 1.83 meters to place second behind Gyorffy on Saturday.

Harvard's score was also bolstered by the return of both freshman pole vaulter Andrea Li and sophomore jumper Helena Ronner after a lengthy absence. Li cleared the 3.35-meter bar to take the pole vault. Sophomore Bryce Weed's season-best 3.20-meter jump was good enough for second.

Ronner placed second in both the long jump and the triple jump. Her leaps were a foot short of what she was capable of last December. She has another two weeks to get back into top form for Heps.
