...men’s side, freshman Nico Weiler won the pole vault event, clearing 5.20 meters and setting a new HYOC match record. A familiar face to the Crimson was also on hand to compete Friday. Clara Blattler ‘08, a Rhodes Scholar and former standout women’s pole vaulter for Harvard, represented Oxford in the match, and placed first in the pole vault event with a clearance of 3.50 meters.

Roy is not a likeable character, and when the veins in his neck are prominent and his hoarseness palpable, Glaser makes him seem...
...PENN 2The Crimson seized the lead early and never looked back, scoring consistently throughout the game to build on its advantage. “We kept scoring each inning,” freshman first baseman Whitney Shaw said. “We didn’t have one standout inning but we kept the pressure on the entire game.”Sophomore outfielder Emily Henderson got Harvard’s action started in the second inning when she came home on a wild pitch by Quakers pitcher Emily Denstedt. Sophomore Ellen Macadam scored just moments later...
