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...
Sophomore John Meeker also performed well, taking the 100-meter dash in 10.89 seconds. In the 200-meter dash, he fell short of beating the league's best in the event-Yale's Jason Rife-but still put up time of 21.85 seconds, one of the best times in the Ivies this year...
