Harvard Sports Trivia Challenge

Regardless of team allegiance, all sports fans seem to agree on two things. One: We love lists and rankings (for proof, look no further than ESPN’s unnecessarily dramatic ranking of the top 500 players in baseball). And two: We love trivia.

We’re no exception here at The Back Page. And while we’ve made our fair share of rankings, we’ve skimped on the trivia—until now. Below, we’ve compiled a Harvard athletics trivia challenge with 10 questions, ranging from, to put it in golf lingo, tap-ins to 50-foot double breakers.

Check back tomorrow for the answers.
