In this weekend's Beantown Challenge, first-year
Izzy Goudros dominated the 60m hurdles. With the race seemingly over once the gun was fired, Goudros never surrendered her lead from the very beginning, going on to finish first with a stifling time of 8.56 seconds.

First-year
Kenneth Ikeji demolished the competition in the weight throw this past Saturday at the Beantown Challenge. Tossing the weight a monstrous 20.21m (66'3") on his fifth throw to secure the win, no one came close to touching him, as Ikeji would go on to shut out the second-place finisher by nearly a meter and a half. Not only is that mark a new Harvard school record, but it is also the ninth longest mark in NCAA Division I men's track & field this year.
