...League Heptagonal Meet--the equivalent of the Ivy League championship--on May 6, Carswell and Shearer both performed well. Carswell won the 5000 meter race, finishing 14:21.29, eight seconds ahead of the runner-up. Shearer came in third in the 3,000 meter steeplechase with a time of 8:45.02, which automatically qualified him for the NCAA Championships...
Last fall, Carswell led the men's country team and took 17th in the NCAA Cross Country Championships' 10,000-meter run. Carswell was Harvard's first All-American male runner since Paul Gompers...

A few days later, Sereno came up with an even more spectacular find: the skull of another meat eater whose head, at least, was a shade bigger than that of the 45-ft.-long Tyrannosaurus rex, traditionally considered the largest predator ever to have walked the earth...

Wang, a farmer's daughter, is recovering from leg injuries and a nasty split with her former coach Ma Junren. Under a grueling training regimen, "Ma's Army" of runners broke several records in 1993 but drew charges--never proved--that some members were given performance-enhancing drugs...
