Sure, there were people like Clayman, junior pole-vaulter Steve Brannon, senior high-jumper Terry Mann and senior javelin-thrower Eugene Chan. However, Harvard often found itself short of people, forcing team members to overload on events they weren't specialized...
Among field event competitors, points were widely distributed. Junior pole vaulter Steven Brannon took third place, while freshman shot-putter Kenneth Hughes and junior weight-thrower Mark Clayman both came in fifth to contribute to the Harvard total...

When scientists...
