CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — The Dartmouth women's track and field team had a great start to the season, collecting numerous individual wins on Saturday at the season-opening HBCU & Ivy Challenge at Harvard.

"Track is back and our women have been excited to finally compete," said Porscha Dobson Harnden, the Marjorie & Herbert Chase '30 Director of Dartmouth Track & Field and Cross Country. "The HBCU (Historically Black Colleges & Universities) & Ivy Challenge, an idea birthed by Jason Soresky, the director of Harvard track & field, and his staff is in its third year. The meet becomes more competitive and enjoyable for the athletes each year.

This is a special meet for all four teams because of the storied history and progression of each institution. I look forward to the continued development of this meet as the connections the athletes are beginning to build with other teams. The Dartmouth women competed with fire in their eyes and that's what I look for. We had great performances from every event group, which is a nod to how we are building this team."

Julia Reglewski won the shot put with a throw of 13.42m. Autumn Clark finished right behind in second with a throw of 13.01m. First-year Sarah Slowikowski was fourth with a toss of 11.75m.
