The women's track team's second-place finish at the Ivy League
Heptagonal Championships at Cornell on Sunday was a culmination of the
indoor season, and a number of individuals were awarded for the part
they played in the team's success.
Natasha
Smith '11 claimed First Team All-Ivy honors for winning the pentathlon
at Heps. Smith was spurred on by victories in the high jump and shot
put and a second-place finish in the 60-meter hurdles.
Nicole
Burns' '09 time of 55.78 seconds in the 400-meter dash was good for
first place and the corresponding First Team All-Ivy award, while she
received Second Team All-Ivy for her second-place finish in the
200-meter dash.
The only other victory and subsequent First Team
All-Ivy award was on the men's side, as David Howard '09 triumphed in
the shot put. Howard has been one of the top performers all season for
the men's side, which struggled to a seventh-place finish at Heps.
Howard also picked up fifth for the Bears in the weight throw.
The
women were aided by four other second-place finishes. On the track,
Samantha Adelberg '11 received Second Team All-Ivy honors for the
800-meter run and Smita Gupta '08 received the same in the 3,000-meter
run. In the field, Danielle Grunloh '10 and Grace Watson '11 both
finished second as well.
