For the men's 8km, it was just Harvard and Dartmouth (I thought the Columbia men were also supposed to show). Harvard finished 13th overall, beating regional foe Syracuse by a wide margin (they finished 20th). Harvard was led by senior Matthew Pereira (27th, 23:50.8), followed right behind by rookie Graham Blanks (28th, 23:51.9).
