...average of 93 points before running into its first major competition in the annual Harvard-Yale-Princeton tri-meet. The Crimson fell to Princeton, 170.5-148.5, in head-to-head competition. The sheer number of wins generated by the Tigers’ superstars made a dual meet victory difficult for Harvard to attain, but the Crimson was able to get even at the championship meet, where the scoring format tends to favor depth. At Ivies, Harvard beat runner-up Princeton—which had held the title for the last three years—by a final score...

In the fall, the cross country team posted impressive results despite fielding a young team comprised mainly of freshmen and sophomores. “I thought the cross country season went well,” Saretsky said. “The team competed hard...
...praised. Mills and Vloka capped off their amazing rookie campaigns by receiving first-team All-American honors. Joining them were Cross and senior epee Ungar. Ungar led the way for a men’s team (9-9) that finished the season on a high note, despite a few difficult losses. The tri-captain earned a third-place finish in the men’s epee and along with freshman sabre Valentin Staller—who had nine victories and 78 touches in the tournament for a 15th-place finish—propelled the men to seventh overall at NCAAs...
