"Oh no!" thought her relay partner, Beckie Scott, in the transition area below. "Not now, not here."

While not finishing in first in any event, junior Stevie DeGroff earned five points for Harvard by placing second in the 200 meter dash and third in the 60-meter sprint. For the men, the only victories came in the jumping events, from seniors Samyr Laine and Travis Hughes. The former won the triple jump and placed second behind the latter in the long jump—together earning 15 of Harvard’s points on the day. Both teams...
