The Cornell Big Red swept both the men's and women's titles at the 2005 Ivy League Indoor Heptagonal Championships. The Big Red women totaled 154 points to finish ahead of Yale (74 points) and Columbia (63 points). Cornell's men claimed the title with 147 points, 23 ahead of Princeton (124) and Penn (81).
Yale's Joslyn Woodard, the Female Athlete of the Meet, became only the third athlete, male or female, to win three events at two Indoor Heps competitions with wins in the 60-meter dash and 200-meter dash along with Saturday's long jump title. She joins Harvard's Brenda Taylor (2000-01) and Princeton's Nicole Harrison (1997-98) on the short list. She also has seven individual Indoor Heps titles and could break the Heps Indoor record of eight, held by Harrison and Harvard's Dora Gyorffy.
Woodard ran a 7.63 in the 60-meter dash to claim the top spot in the event. The Eli junior was followed by teammate and 2004 60m champ Katrina Castille at 7.73 and Princeton's Juliette Poussot at 7.75. Woodard's time of 24.44 in the 200-meter dash gave her three wins for the meet and reclaimed her 2003 crown in the event.
Cornell runners Shonda Brown (24.88) and Kari Steed (25.18) finished second and third in the 200m. Brown also claimed second in the 400-meter dash with a time of 55.56, just .01 behind teammate Cameron Washington's winning time of 55.55. Steed placed third in the 400m for Cornell.
The Big Red also claimed the top two spots in the 800-meter run with Morgan Uceny (2:08.15) and Jessica Brown (2:08.56) finishing one-two. Uceny's winning time was the fastest in meet history since the first edition of the Championships in 1981.
Cornell sophomore Stephanie King took first in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.73, while teammate Sarah Coseo claimed the top spot in the mile at 4:51.66.
The women's 3,000-meter run saw some fantastic times with the top four times ranking among the top 10 all-time at Indoor Heps. Yale freshman Lindsay Donaldson claimed the top spot with a time of 9:16.97, and was followed by Columbia's Caroline Bierbaum (9:18.55), Harvard's Lindsey Scherf (9:26.32) and Princeton's Cack Ferrell (9:28.80).
Columbia set an Indoor Heps record in the women's two-mile relay with a time of 8:52.45. The Lions' time broke Cornell's record of 8:55.18 from 1990. The Big Red mile relay also set an Indoor Heps record in the mile relay with a time of 3:43.93.
Brown's Brittany Grovey used a distance of 41-5 1/4 to win her first Indoor triple jump title. The Bears' junior was a runner-up in 2003 and 2004.
Penn's Charity Payne successfully defended her title in the shot put with a distance of 45-7 3/4. Brown's Jill Lynch, the 2003 Indoor champ, placed second with a toss of 45-2 1/2 on her final attempt. Cornell's Sarah Wilfred cleared 5-7 in the high jump for the first-place spot.
The Cornell men claimed their second Indoor Heps title in the last three seasons. The Big Red had athletes claim the top spot in four running events on Sunday's final day.
Sam MacKenzie (2:26.96) and Brian Mongeon (2:27.05) went first and second in the men's 1000-meter run for Cornell, while Oliver Tassinari (4:09.76) and James Wyner (4:10.53) claimed the top two men's mile spots.
Big Red freshmen won both 60-meter events with Lester Jordan (6.81) taking first in the dash and Saidu Ezike tying the Indoor Heps record of 7.98 in winning the 60-meter hurdles.
Columbia's Erison Hurtault, who shared the Athlete of the Meet award, became the second Lion of the weekend to break a long-standing Heps record. Following Caroline Bierbaum's Saturday performance in the women's 5000-meter run, Hurtault posted a 47.07 in the men's 400-meter dash to break the 24-year-old of 47.67 set by Army's Derric Anderson in 1981.
Penn junior Courtney Jaworski -- who shared the top individual honor with Hurtault -- also put his name in the Indoor Heps record book after setting a meet record with a time of 1:50.29 in the men's 800-meter run. Jaworski, also the 2004 800m champ, broke the record set by Keefe Clemons in 1988. Jaworski was also a member of the Penn two-mile relay team that won the event with a time of 7:36.73. Jaworski's anchor 880-yard time of 1:51.16 secured the win for the Quakers.
Two Quaker freshmen took the top spots in the heptathlon with Mike Hall totaling 5201 points and Kyle Calvo posting a score of 5185.
Princeton took the top two spots in the men's 500-meter dash. Richard Stewart ran a 1:02.68 for first and 2004 champion Mike Kopp posted a 1:03.67 for second place. Yale's Lucas Meyer became the first Bulldog male to capture a men's 5000-meter title with his 14:20.93. Columbia's Karl Dusen took second in the event with a 14:23.44.
The Tigers of Princeton claimed the final event of the day -- the mile relay -- winning in 3:14.29 with Mike Kopp anchoring. Yale was just behind at 3:14.89.
Ray Bobrownicki of Brown successfully defended his 2004 men's high jump title with a first-place showing of 6-11 1/2. Dartmouth's Brian McCarthy took second, also at 6-11 1/2.
Harvard's Samyr Laine won his second-consecutive men's triple jump title on Sunday. The junior posted a mark of 51-11, the fourth-best showing all-time at Indoor Heps.
Brown also claimed the top spot in the men's distance medley relay with a time of 10:02.66.
Zach Beadle became the first Cornell thrower to win the men's shot put since 1977 with his first-place distance of 55-1 1/2. Kristoffer Hinson from the host Crimson placed second at 54-1 1/4.
