The third position in each distance was also a Crimson runner—sophomore Chidimma Dalu was .57 seconds behind de Groff’s winning time of 12.10 in the 100 meter race, while freshman Brittan Smith...

Baer ’06, a social studies concentrator from Denver who is the alumni coordinator of Native Americans at Harvard College, said, “My little brother is of the Oglala Lakota, and we adopted him as a foster child, so that’s sort of the basis...
