CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard track & field closed out the weekend on a high note, as two school records fell at the Tom Jones Memorial in Gainesville, Florida today.

The men's 4x100m relay of junior Timi Esan, senior Jonas Clarke, sophomore LeRoy Horton and junior Amari Turner rose to the occasion against a stacked field in the Sunshine State, finishing in sixth place with a time of 39.27, unseating the previous top mark of 39.34 from last season. This time puts the Crimson at 11^th in the east region standing and atop the Ivy League this season.

Sophomore Ella McRitchie authored a marquee moment in the women's pole vault in the Sunshine State, setting a new school record after clearing 4.40m (14'5.25"). A native of Bainbridge, Washington, McRitchie surpasses the former record of 4.32m set by Anastasia Retsa '25 last season, as McRitchie now ranks sixth in the east region and is second in the Ivy League by a centimeter.
