Maduka's mark is a meet record by a big margin (about two feet !)
We have the women's 3K now on the track . . . . Princeton must score big points to keep pace with Cornell (which we expect will score 10+ in the triple jump).
We have a group of 5 up in front, including Ashley Higginson (Princeton), Lindsay Donaldson (Yale), Smita Gupta (Brown), Aeriel Emig (Cornell), and Stacy Kim (Penn) with 3 to go.
With one to go, Stacy Kim of Penn has moved into the lead by 20 meters, followed by Emig, Gupta, Donaldson, and Higginson fading.

Cornell now leads 137 to 134. With the triple jump, it looks like Cornell might tie the Penn men for 7 consecutive titles.
With all events scored in the men except for the relays and the discus (we have not reported the HJ, but it is scored - Garrett Huyler of Cornell has won).

Cornell has broken the record set by Princeton in 1999 for overall team score (although this only includes those years with the existing scoring system).
We have a virtual road race in the 5K, with a heat over 20 folks.
With 3200 to go, we have a huge chase group, but Kevin Treadway of Dartmouth leads by about a gap of 10m.
The peloton has absorbed Treadway with 7 to go. James O'Toole of Princeton leads the group.
1600 to go, and Sage Canaday moves to the front with Chenoweth of Harvard in 2nd. Canaday is attempting a 5K/10K double. We now have a distinct front group of Canaday, Nightengale of Princeton, Chenoweth, Harry Norton of Dartmouth, and Zach Hine of Cornell.

5: Duriel Hardy, Brown, 14:43.15
6: Oliver Townsend, 14:44.97
Kyle Calvo, Mike Hall, and Tim Wunderlich are separated by only 13 points. This will make for very important 1500 meter run to crown the champion. Wunderlich is in the lead after an excellent javelin throw.
Mike Hall runs a courageous 1500, but does not gap Wunderlich by enough distance.
1: Tim Wunderlich, Dartmouth, 6879
2: Mike Hall, Penn, 6874
3: Kyle Calvo, Penn, 6802
4: Brodie Lewis, Harvard, 6565

Moving to the women's furlong event . . . . Shaunee Morgan of Penn is our top seed.
Jeomi Maduka just outlasts the field (they were charging fast) in 24.47
2: Nicole Burns, Brown, 24.63
3: Shaunee Morgan, Penn, 24.74
4: Akilah King, Brown, 24.87
5: Favia Merritt, Harvard, 24.96
6: Danielle Mirabal, Harvard, 25.03
This creates a tie in the women's standings. We have a very strong event for Princeton (the 3K) and one for Cornell (Triple Jump). Princeton might have a better 4x800, but Cornell has a better 4x400. This will be close.
