THE WEEKEND
•   The Dartmouth men's indoor track & field team will line up alongside its seven other Ivy League counterparts at the 2020 Heptagonal Championship in Ithaca.
•   The meet will begin Saturday morning and continue through Sunday afternoon.

HOW WE'RE DOING
•   The Big Green have competed in just two locations so far this season: Boston (4) and Hanover (4).
•   In three of four home meets, Dartmouth has come out on top, including the Dartmouth Relays in mid-January.
•   The Boston meets included a pair of non-scoring days at BU , a third-place finish at Harvard to open the year and a seventh-place showing at the New England Championship.

LAST YEAR
•   Dartmouth was sixth at this meet last year at Harvard's facility, finishing the weekend with 50 points.
•   Princeton won the crown with 139.5 points.

RETURNING ALL-IVY
•   Timothy Zepf was a second-place finisher in the 800m, crossing the line in Sunday's final in 1:50.61, less than a second back of the event winner from Harvard.
•   Nick Feffer and Zepf are back from the 4x880-yard relay team that took second in 7:41.62.

JUST MISSING OUT
•   Sprinter Donovan Spearman was third in the 60m, running a 6.85 in the final.
•   He was also third in the 200m with a 21.77 and finishing the weekend with 12 points toward the Big Green total.
•   Owen Ritz was fourth in the 5000m in 14:28.48, less than three seconds behind the winner.
