Among undergraduates at the ECAC Track and Field Championships at Princeton last weekend, no one could beat Harvard junior Johanna Doyle’s season-best throw of 58.36 meters. Yet she didn’t win.
The Crimson was the defending champion in the individual hammer throw and the tile went to the defending champion. Yet Harvard didn’t win.
That’s because the winner was former Crimson captain Nicky Grant ’02, now with Boston University. Grant, playing out the remainder of her NCAA eligibility while enrolled in graduate school at BU, reached a 58.78-meter distance to win an ECAC title for the Terriers.
Grant, who hopes to compete in the 2004 Olympics for Jamaica, has a season-best performance of 61.32, the 10th longest throw in the nation this year and likely good enough for another trip to NCAAs.
Doyle’s overall performance places her 25th nationally.
Senior Helena Ronner was the only other Crimson athlete to score points at ECACs. She placed fourth in the triple jump with a season-best performance of 12.43 meters.
