As Easterns advance to Day 2, Ivy Leaguers are poised to stand on the awards podium in a number of events. In fact, some already have.
On the men’s side, taking place at Boston University, Cornell senior Richard Zamora took second in the pole vault with a clearance of 16-0 3/4. The highest finisher on the women’s side, contested at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston, has been Brown senior Ariel Wright, who claimed second in the 5,000-meter run in 16:32.80. Cornell senior Stephanie Pancoast was fourth in that event at 16:41.69.
Harvard’s young distance medley relay foursome of Darcy Wilson, Jeff Homer, Brian Paison and Jeremy Gilmour was the fastest qualifier in the event, finishing in 9:52.66. In that same event, Penn and Brown also recorded top five times to move into Sunday’s final. The highest-ranked individual qualifier was Cornell freshman Nick Wade, whose 1:50.09 in the 800-meter run was second best. And after the first day of the heptathlon, Heps champ Joshua Kirkpatrick, a senior at Cornell, sits atop the standings at 2,954.
Penn senior Jamie Massarelli was the top qualifier in the 500-meter dash for the women, running 1:13.18, which was well ahead of the others. Seniors Claudia Duncan of Yale and Natalie Stoll of Dartmouth were also among the top four advancers in the event. Cornell senior Kim Standridge was the No. 2 qualifier in the 800-meter run (2:08.17) while Penn sophomore Leah Brown was third in semifinals of the 60-meter dash (7.63). Princeton senior Thanithia Billings was third in the final of the shot put with a best of 47-1 3/4.
