CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard track & field student-athletes shined on their home turf at Gordon Indoor Track on Friday, as the Crimson set three Ivy League and school records at the Crimson Elite.

The day began with a monumental showing in the women's pentathlon, as senior Izzy Goudros broke a 12-year-old Ivy League record in the event with 4313 points, surpassing the former record of 4209 set by former Crimson Martina Salander '16 at the 2013 NCAA Indoor Championships. A native of Toronto, Ontario, Goudros ranks fourth nationally in the pentathlon this season.
