At the beginning of the season, both the men's and women's indoor track teams expected to be championship contenders. With only one scored meet left before the Heptagonal Championships, both are undefeated and feeling good about their title hopes.
With another convincing performance, the Harvard men pulled away from the Big Red and the Bears midway through the meet to stay undefeated (4-0, 2-0 Ivy).
However, Harvard also enjoyed some exceptional performances during the weekend. Soltis, competing in the 197-lb class, went undefeated in the two meets. His match against Lehigh was especially notable, as Soltis fought to an 8-3 win over Rob Rohn, one of the conference's top wrestlers.
Numbers rarely lie. Harvard and Cornell have three common opponents this season. Cornell beat Lehigh and Colgate handily last month and dropped a 59-52 contest with then-undefeated Marist (10-3) in which it was within two points with less than two minutes to play.
The Crimson has historically been a poor team during the pre-Ivy season. Two years ago, Harvard went a mediocre 6-6 out of conference then proceeded to record the only undefeated, 14-0 Ivy season in the history of the Ancient Eight and qualified for the NCAA Tournament.
