Track and Field Breezes through Final Home Meet

“It's a good base to work off as we head towards the Ivy League Championships,” Mahon said. “We are excited and keen as ever to compete for ourselves and each other as we get closer to the big competitions. We're really just getting started.”

The lone man to ascend to the top spot on the podium was sophomore Myles Marshall. The runner clocked Harvard’s second-fastest time, only 0.05 seconds behind his own record, in the 800-meter dash.

The other two golds went to the women’s teams. In the 4x400-meter relay, a lineup consisting of Hughes, Thomas, Miller, and freshman Karina Joiner claimed the top spot in a time of 3:39.50. This result represents the fourth-fastest time in Crimson history. Senior Sarah Gillespie also took first place with a 2:56.37 1000-meter run.

In the sprints, Herbert posted a second-place finish in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.08 seconds. Joiner represented the women in the same event, pulling eighth place in just 8.81 seconds. Achieving his season best, freshman Micah Meekins took seventh in the 200-meter dash.

In the 400-meter dash, the runners from Harvard both achieved marks. For Heckendorn, his 13th-place, 49.33 finish represented a season best. Miller set a career best herself with 54.39 finish for fourth place. In the mile, freshman Brook Starn also claimed a season best with a time of 4:55.10, as she kicked her way to sixth place.
