Far above Cayuga’s waters, Harvard’s track and field squad looked to finish the indoor season with a strong showing in the two-day Indoor Heptagonal Championships at Cornell’s Barton Hall. The women improved upon last year’s fifth-place finish with 46 points, enough to narrowly beat Penn and Columbia for fourth.

The men repeated an eighth-place finish, but improved on their point totals, raking in 14 team points.

“We have a lot better team than we have had in the past few years,” senior co-captain Sally Stanton said.

The Princeton women—who finished only four points ahead of the Crimson in the HYP meet a few weeks ago—led the pack with 114 points, while the Big Red led the men with 205 points.
