CRIMSON/ JESSICA S. LIN

Earlier in June, Harvard men's crew sent its top boats to Sacramento to take on the nation's top competition at the 2009 Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships. The Crimson freshmen heavyweights claimed the school's best finish at the event, taking a silver medal for Harvard's only top-three finish. [STORY]

Merritt Inspires Crimson By KATIE KUZMA Meet Favia Merritt. She is pre-med, enjoys filmmaking, serves as a personal trainer, served as the treasurer for Harvard Unite for Sight, and she runs for the Harvard track team. So what can’t she do? She is allergic to exercise, she has dislocated both her hips numerous times, she is allergic to the cold, heat, pressure and friction, and has chronic sinusitis and bronchitis. But despite all of these things, the senior still managed to find the drive–and the time–to be one of Harvard’s top sprinters the past three years.		CRIMSON/ MEGHAN T. PURDY
Sophomores Bring Speed, Defense and Power to Harvard Lineup By JAY M. COHEN When sophomore Tyler Albright sits behind the plate calling the pitch, he knows exactly where he wants the ball to end up. Like any good catcher, Albright’s looking for the ball to nestle in his glove for a strike. But if it doesn’t wind up with him, he’s got a couple of classmates ready and waiting to make the play.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK CHAS GILLESPIE '10

Junior Sets Standard at Penn Relays
By ALEX SOPKO

To his parents, he is Charles. To his teammates, he is Sir Chasington, or man-with-the-beard, or even simply beast. To the running world, though, Harvard junior Chas Gillespie is just fast. Last weekend, at the prestigious Penn Relays, Gillepsie proved just how fast he was, running his personal best in the 5000-meter championship event with a time of 14:01.99. Although he was fifth in the race and three seconds behind the winner, Gillepsie’s performance puts him second in the Ivy League. More importantly, Gillepsie now sits fourth on Harvard’s all-time top-10 performance list for the event.
