On Friday, Feb. 14, a group of runners headed to Boston University’s Hemery Valentine Invitational to race against a competitive field from across the nation. The electric environment of the meet pushed the Bulldogs to earn their last personal records before the Ivy League Championships, called “Heps.”

Victoria Guerrier ’27 dominated the 800m, contributing to a season-long success streak. She broke her own 800m school record again, her fourth school record this season. Her time of 2:03.69 put her sixth out of over 200 athletes in the race.

The following day, the Bulldogs wrapped up their in-season competition at Coxe Cage with the Giegengack Invitational. Though their competition was local, the excitement buzzed across the track as the Bulldogs geared up to compete in their own home.  

Juliette Kosmont ’27 broke her own 60m Yale record in the prelims with a time of 7.48 seconds. She won the finals in 7.51 seconds. 

Anna Chamberlin ’26 also hit a milestone, breaking five minutes in the mile. Her time of 4:59.75 earned her first place in her heat.

The men’s team also contributed to the Bulldog’s strong weekend. Caden Montini ’27 won the mile with a personal record of 4:09. Jack Sendek ’25 finished just milliseconds behind him for second place. 

Matthew Schutzbank ’28 placed first with a personal record of 2:28 in the 1,000 meters. 

Throughout the season, many athletes have expressed the goal to win Heps. After a strong season, the Bulldogs now get to focus on this goal and show off their strength on the main stage in two weeks. 

The Ivy League Indoor Heptagonal Championship will take place on Mar. 1-2, hosted by Cornell in Ithaca, N.Y., at the Gordon Track.
