NEW ORLEANS, La. – Harvard track & field garnered national recognition this afternoon, as both Crimson squads ranked at No. 16 in the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Program of the Year list, an award that calculates a program's success across the cross country, indoor track & field and outdoor track & field campaigns.

Anchored by a first place finish from two-time NCAA men's cross country national champion Graham Blanks '24, the Crimson men's cross country squad finished in 27^th at the NCAA Cross Country Championships in Madison, Wisconsin last fall. All-America showings from Kenny Ikeji '24 and junior Tito Alofe pushed Harvard to a strong showing at the NCAA Indoor Championships, as a third place showing from junior Ferenc Kovacs highlighted Harvard's time at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

The women's year started with a 28^th place finish at the NCAA Cross Country Championships, followed by a meteoric rise at the NCAA Indoor Championships. In a historic in Virginia Beach, Virginia, 11 Crimson women earned All-America First Team status, as Harvard led the nation in All-America First Team selections and finished in a program-best 11^th place in the team standings. All-America First Team showings from Chloe Fair '24 and Izzy Goudros '24 wrapped the Crimson's season at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
