In winning the Eastern shot put championship, Kraay beat out rivals Rocky Craley and Jeff Petrulis of Princeton, neither of whom reached 16 meters. The victory was especially gratifying, since Kraay nearly didn’t advance pass the preliminaries.
“In the preliminaries, I didn’t really throw well,” Kraay said. “I kind of snuck into the finals. But it was good feeling to win against those guys, since I compete against them all the time.”
Harvard also sent a distance medley relay team, consisting of sophomores Sean Meeker, Matt Seidel and John Traugott, and freshman Alasdair McLean-Forman. The relay team placed 11th out of 15 teams in its heat with a time of 10:00.56—a better time than Heptagonal rivals Dartmouth and Columbia at the same meet.
