HARVARD PUTS THREE MEN SUB 4!!! More impressive than Washington for sure!

Oh, and sadly, Harvard would never really consider doing a 4xmile at something like the Penn Relays as it would be too close towards the outdoor Heps meet (it’s scheduled for the week after Penn Relays). Harvard hasn't sent any runners to that meet in at least 5 years for that reason. So any discussions about a head to head with other potentially strong 4xmile programs are moot.

Gibby always seems to care much more about NCAAs than anything else, hence why Harvard hasn't won a Heps XC title in 50 years and always runs poorly at Nuttycombe. Similar situation a few years ago with Tuntivate, who had run 3:57 but only did the 3k/5k at iHeps. They won't make guys triple a couple weeks out from indoor nationals just for a shot at winning the team title at conference.

Not sure what list or ranking you are looking at. Harvard is the favorite going into the Heps. They have depth and also the favorites in many events.

I think the 5k qualifying time holds up for Blanks. Probably not the mile.

three men sub 4 on saturday, 3:39 man coming in and 3:58 sophomore on the roster

i predict harvard will have more men under four minutes than any other team in the country!

They’ll probably try to qualify a DMR at Alex Wilson before Heps then see where Blanks and Iverson end up individually on the indoor qualifying list. Probably looking at BU next week for individual qualifying marks.

As far as Heps, I don’t see why you wouldn’t put both those guys in the 3&5k and then come back for a leg on the relay if needed. Plenty of time before nationals to recover.

Do not forget about the impressive Swedish recruit Erik Guander, I'm guessing he's holding back to find the right race, but I predict at least a 1:45 from the nordic phenom

If this is true and you were accepted into multiple ivies and you are a graduate of the number one college in the nation and have all the riches that come with this then WHAT THE HELL are you doing on spewing nonsense on Letsrun all day?

Hasn’t raced in a few years, never broke 1:50. Is he even part of the team? Harvard usually has a few international recruits who leverage early athletic success to get recruited, then focus more on academics once admitted.

His name may be Ted and he may be a former mathematics professor

As a member of the Boston running community (not a very fast member, ha 😅), I can attest to the buzz surrounding Guander’s name. Around the time that the head coach was recruiting him, I recall many other Boston/New England area schools (and even local sub-elite programs aware of Guander’s forthcoming American move) trying to get a hold of the Swedish talent, yet only Gibby could crack the Scandinavian recruiting code. In fact, Gibby was able to secure three (3!!!) Scandinavian runners in this recent recruiting class. Fast forward a year and Guander has emerged as an underground hero of the Harvard 1200m loop. If you’re lucky enough, you may see his luscious blonde locks flapping in the wind as he coasts by, clicking off splits that you may not believe! Hoping that Guander is opening up at Valentines next weekend, but very hard to get a hold of information on the mysterious man.

Adolf Hitler couldn’t even take Sweden but Gibby could!! A true empire in the making, minus the fascism part.

Who would win a fully rested Ivy DMR if held this Indoor season?

Harvard threw down some fast stuff yesterday at BU.

Dartmouth is the defending champ and had a 2:21 (mile finalist returner) and 2:22 Yesterday

princeton has a crazy 800 leg and very solid everywhere else

Cornell has the only returning Ivy miler that made it to Nationals last spring, and the best 400 leg

Columbia has Danzi, O’Toole and good 800 support

i don’t know who I’d take, but probably not Harvard once I factored in the BU advantage

Gibson also ran a 3:58 high 1600m DMR split the day before. They’d probably have him on the 16 and the 2:22 guy in the 1200

One of my closest friends is an affiliate to Harvard XCTF. he can confirm that in his latest workout Guander (the Swedish recruit) downed 40 minutes of threshold effort at 4:50 pace, took a few minutes to spike up, and then ran 3 by 400m on the track (52 average). He's a championship threat, nothing less

Butt? I don't think so. Cornell has too many top programs to be anyone's butt:

I had a high school classmate who was rejected from Cornell. He went to another Ivy, graduated and then went on to med school. He's a doctor now, but as a New York State resident he could have attended the Ag school (CALS) and for the lesser tuition for New York residents if only he had been admitted. If I lived in New York and wanted to be a doctor, I would especially consider Cornell, and even if I lived elsewhere.

^ Hmmmm. I'm not sure why my links got separated from the sentences in which I submitted them. I should have posted under a registered name and then would be able to edit. Oh, well....

Lol nobody cares about veterinary medicine or architecture, and hotel management / engineering is leaving off the fact that the best colleges* have neither a separate engineering school nor a business school.

The current President of the US did his undergrad at University of Delaware.
