Sorry, can someone give me a link where I can see final results? Thanks.

It's crazy how Heps track seems to be more, not less, of a PU/CU men's dual meet every year. I'm getting tired of predicting that Harvard will move up with the top two--would like to pick Dartmouth for that, but they just have too many gaps, especially in the jumps.
Not sure what happened to the Cornell anchors on the men's DM/4x800--maybe they "flicked it in" (as the rowers say) to save themselves for next week? That's really unusual for CU guys at Heps, but maybe their coaches decided to go that way once the meet was definitely lost.
The Cornell women, by contrast, competed their asses off in the relays, even though a team win was impossible by then. After many years of dominating the 4x4, the Big Red put together a squad with only one "legit" 400 runner, an 800/IHer woman, another 800 runner, and a bumped-up 200m person--and still ran 3:45 to take second.
Then they ran 8:46 in the 4x8 to break the meet and school record, *minus* their three fastest (2:07/07/10) 800m runners. That impresses the hell out of me. Cornell's women also scored in every event in the meet. Another team has probably done that sometime, but I certainly don't remember any.
Based on their event coverage, the fight that they showed in those relays, and the addition of the "Cornell events" outdoors (4x1, IH, SC, long throws), I'd say the Big Red rank at least as co-favorites for the meet at Yale. Should be a terrific meet.
At Alex Wilson/Notre Dame Princeton goes 9:35.02 - Ivy League record and it puts them in the Top 16, as of now.
I hope that more than 3 Ivy Leaguers can make it to Nationals this year. It looks promising based on how the season is going so far and the fast relay times.
Some guarantees I'm thinking:
Sharay Hale (400)
Maalik Reynolds (HJ)
Ashley Higginson (3k)
Austin Hollimon (400)
Russell Dinkins (800)
Peter Callahan (800)
Princeton men DMR
Kate Grace (800)
On the bubble:
Princeton men 4x4
Sarah Cummings (3k, 5k)
Ashley Higginson (5k)
Alex Banfich (5k)
Monique Roberts (HJ)
Dave Slovenski (PV)
Brynn Smith (SP)
Thanithia Billings (WT)
Tara Richmond (HJ)
Kate Grace (mile - although I think she'll focus on the 800 if she gets both)
Donn Cabral (3k)
Peter Callahan (mile)
Kim Stanbridge (800)
Molly Glantz (800)
Anthony romaniw (800)
Sharay Hale (200)
any other thoughts?
C/M did the Ivy League have three qualifiers last year, if so who were they?

Mark Amirault just missed going sub 4 in the mile: 4:00.26
Some guarantees I'm thinking:
Sharay Hale (400) IN
Maalik Reynolds (HJ) PROBABLY IN
Ashley Higginson (3k) GOOD CHANCE
Austin Hollimon (400) OUT
Russell Dinkins (800) PROBABLY OUT
Peter Callahan (800) OUT
Princeton men DMR OUT
Kate Grace (800) PROBABLY IN

Here's another comparison of 2009 v. 2011 in the Middle Distances. I've changed the comparison to #8 marks rather than #10 because some of the '09 #10 marks wouldn't make the top 20 this year.

Again, Wow!
Methinks a healthy Merber could have picked up points in at least NCAA Champs four events 800,mile, 3000 and 5000. not sure about doubling up but if he ran in anyof these as his only focus I could see top 5 no problem.
Well, hopefully he can get healthy enough for outdoors.
Congrats to Ashley Higginson and Sharay Hale, All-Americans in 3k and 400 respectively. Higginson got 5th (9:19.04) while Hale had to hurdle someone in her race en route to getting 7th (if she repeated her prelims performance, she would have come 4th). Kate Grace did not make it out of the mile trials while Maalik Reynolds got sick and did not start in the high jump.
