The men finished first overall, with a new meet scoring record, and the women finished a very close third, behind Princeton and Brown.

The last paragragh of the article gives a good summary of how strong and balanced the teams are, and notes a good number of ECAC/IC4A and NCAA qualifying marks achieved on both sides.


"Both Cornell teams were competitive across the board showing depth, and more impressively, breadth. The men scored in 18 of 19 events (missing out only in the heptathlon, where junior T.J. Toro still recorded the #2 mark in school history with a ninth place total of 4,932 points). Similarly, the women scored in 15 of 17 events, missing out only in the mile and the pentathlon (where the team didn't enter a competitor). The men were truly impressive in compiling 37 IC4A qualifying performances on the weekend to go along with a meet record and three NCAA qualifying efforts, not to mention the second straight Meet Most Outstanding Performer honors for Halim. Although the women were unable to win the team championship, the Big Red's effort was characterized by determination, competitiveness, heart and class and the squad continued to be among the elite in the League, with six event wins, one further event runner-up showing, 3 NCAA qualifying efforts, 19 ECAC qualifying performances, a meet record and the Meet's Outstanding Performer in Maduka"

Women's b-ball might have clinched the Ivy title if Maduka had played at Harvard and Dartmouth.

Would you rather she have transferred to Vermont?

She played at Dartmouth. They flew her back to Ithaca after the game.
