CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Harvard track and field has been represented across the world this spring and summer, with standout performances from several current and past members of the program. Four school records have fallen, as Abbe Goldstein, Alexander Kolesnikoff, Hugo Milner, and Stephanie Ratcliffe each set new standards in their signature events.

Goldstein shattered the previous school record held by Paige Kouba '16 (4:16.46) in the 1500 meters, finishing in 4:10.94 at the Sound Running Meet in Irvine, Calif. Kolesnikoff beat Australian national record holder and Olympian Damien Birkinhead in the shot put with a mark of 19.81 meters (65'), a new school record and personal best at the Melbourne Track Classic on March 25.

Milner ran 28:36.95 at the Muller British Olympic Trials, breaking Kieran Tuntivate's '19-20 school record. Ratcliffe placed second in the hammer throw at the Australia Track and Field Championships, shattering her own school record on her final throw (61.81m, 202'9"). 

"I'm incredibly proud of all our student-athletes this year who persevered through this unprecedented year, said Jason Saretsky, The William W. "Bill" McCurdy Director of Track and Field/Cross Country. "It is exciting to highlight so many who set personal bests over the past few months. Our student-athletes continually strive for academic and athletic excellence and that continued despite all of the challenges this year."
