CAMBRIDGE, Mass. --  The William W. "Bill" McCurdy Director of Track and Field/Cross Country, Jason Saretsky, has announced 34 incoming first-years in the Class of 2025

"I'm thrilled to welcome the class of 2025 and can't wait to get started with this outstanding group of student-athletes," Saretsky said. "Our coaching staff did a fantastic job adapting to zoom recruiting and all the limitations last year. Yet, the depth and breadth of talent might be the best in our program's rich history." 

Harvard will return to cross country and track and field competition in 2021-22 with the memory of a strong 2019-20 campaign in mind.

In the 2019-20 season, the cross country teams made history, both placing second at Ivy Heps, only to sweep the NCAA Northeast Regionals in Buffalo, N.Y., for the first time in school history. The track and field teams also placed second at Ivy Heps, collecting a combined eight heps titles. Abbe Goldstein (mile), Anna Juul (mile), and Olympian Kieran Tuntivate (mile, 3000m) qualified for the NCAA Championships. 

The incoming Crimson come from all over the world, spanning 19 states and six countries.
