This has to be the LONGEST heptathlon pole vault in the history of the meet .... just finish damnit.

11 guys vaulting requires over 2.5 hours?
Princeton 2-4-6 in the 5k behind Duriel Hurdy of Brown. Cornell gets 5th place. Princeton's lead widens to 153-110.

In a multi-event, sure! You can have guys opening at eight feet and other guys vaulting at sixteen; and the bar is moving 10cm at a time(? Is it? I don't know), it'll take forever.
Plus, when there's a limited number of jumpers left, the time they're allowed for each jump grows.
That did it ... Princeton 2-4-6 in the 5k
Cornell 5
Winner Hardy of Brown in 14:21.xx
Princeton 153
Cornell 110
It's all over 'cept the cryin.

Okay, that should do it. The one hope was that Cornell's Edelman would be able to score very big in the 5,000, and that Princeton wouldn't. No way Princeton screws up the relays, and CU won't get enough out of the heptathlon.
I do hope that all the people who were ragging on Steve Dolan (PU distance coach), in years past, will be just as vocal in giving him the credit he's earned, this time.
Vault finally done.
Princeton NH takes him out of the money.
Cornell in line to score 19 points.
Just not good enough.
Would have to win all three relays and hope for a complete Princeton collapse that's just not going to happen.
Women: PU 89, Col 78, Cor 73 after the 3,000m results come in. Still lacking WT, HJ, TJ results, which should significantly favor Columbia (but where Cornell is not likely to score much), and the relays. Looks like Columbia at this point (but I'm not at the meet, and don't know how the field events are going).
And with Princeton coming in second to Columbia in the DMR, (Cornell 4th), Princeton leads by 28 with two relays remaining, locking up the meet for the Tigers! Congratulations on the big, well-deserved win!
Wow--Princeton takes second place in the women's HJ and essentially locks the meet. Congratulations to them!
And the Princeton/Cornell men combine to easily outscore the other six of the League's schools, 330-257 (if my quick math was right). Wow--I had really thought the gap would not be so great.
Congrats to Sharay Hale (Columbia) and Duane Teixeira (Cornell) on winning meet MVPs. Hale won the 200m and 400m, breaking the 200m meet record in the process. Teixeira won both LJ and TJ while jumping some of the furthest leaps in over 20 years!

1. Princeton, 181; 2. Cornell, 149; 3. Dartmouth, 54; 4. Harvard, 53; 5. Columbia, 52; 6. Brown, 37; 7. Penn, 35; 8. Yale, 28.
Women scores:
1. Princeton, 125; 2. Columbia, 110; 3. Cornell, 96; 4. Harvard, 61; 5. Brown, 55; 6. Penn, 48; 7. Yale & Dartmouth, 16.
Congrats to Princeton on doing their first indoor sweep in recent years!
Its time for change at Yale. Those coaches are worthless. nobody ever improves there. Young is to old, Shoehalter, Davis, and Ireland just dont know how to make people better. There is no reason they shouldnt be competitive. The programs as they are now besides Grace and Labosky are a joke. Most of the those runners wouldnt be good high school runners at this point (and some were good high school runners so that tell use something).
Harvard made a change and found success. Yale Should do the same.

Just to put it out there: Cabral, VanAckaren, Slovenski, and Kaulbach are roommates in the dorms at Princeton. That room scored 37 points, not counting VanAckaren's share of the DMR title points.
Hey, it's not uncommon for teammates to room together in the dorms. That happened a lot when I was undergrad (although I did not follow this).

Perhaps that one room at Princeton outscored three of the teams?

Bingo. Not bad considering the restrictions Princeton puts on who you can and can't room with as an underclassman.
A big congrats to duriel hardy for winning the 5k. He is one of the hardest closers in the league and he showed it in a much deserved win.
for all the crap that the princeton coaching staff receives for wasted talent, what a show of depth and strength of squad this past weekend. Especially in the distance, princeton showed up to race at Heps. Columbia and Cornell who are normally pointed to as the other strong distance schools, weren't as much of a force in the 800-5k.
Pictures from Indoor Heps (courtesy of Dan Grossman, volunteer photographer and an ultimate Ivy XC/T&F fan) are posted up at Maple Leaf Photos. Dan has also taken photos at previous Hep events (2009 XC, 2009 outdoors and 2009 indoors). Check them out: the photos are free to download as well (I believe).
