...Bruins tried to quell the blazing Crimson attack in the running events, but Harvard's trackmen held their own. Despite a Brown sweep in the mile run and 1-2 Bruin finishes in the 40-yd. dash and the two-mile, Harvard managed to out-score Brown 34-30 in the eight running events...
Todd Hooks flew over the 40 yd. high hurdle track in 5.3 seconds, just nipping second-place finisher Sam Butler for the win. Hooks later sprinted to third place in the 40 yd. dash...
