New Track Hosts Snowy Heps Race

In the world of sports, it’s not uncommon for an event to be postponed due to weather. Just last week a forecast predicting rain pushed Game Six of the World Series from Wednesday to Thursday night.

But this past Saturday at the 72nd Heptagonal Cross Country Championships, the weather had no say. Cold temperatures, rain, and snow made for just another aspect of the race as the Ancient Eight squads competed at Princeton’s West Windsor Fields for only the third time in Heps history.

On the men’s side, Harvard finished in seventh place with 184 points; the women finished with 129 points in sixth place.

“We want to keep improving on races from past weeks, and we definitely did that,” senior Kailyn Kuzmuk said. “[But] overall, we were unhappy with how we did … we’re going to hopefully be better at regionals.”

Early predictions for the race didn’t quite match up to the slush- and mud-filled course presented by West Windsor Fields. Ivy League crews were expecting a more straightforward race this year after a location change: the Heps are normally held at Van Cortlandt Park, notorious for its hilly, difficult terrain. The course presented by West Windsor Fields is relatively flatter and faster, and the teams trained with this in mind. The snow, then, made things a bit more complicated.

A look that has inspired designers the world over, Le Smoking Jacket also helped create a woman who wears her independence, literally, on her coat lapel. If you haven’t got the brand, never mind, make do with any other blazer or even tuxedos. These are worth investing in and who said anything about appearing too masculine?

Bidapa believes that women can adopt this look while still maintaining their innate femininity. He says, “Choose fitted blazers which are masculine in their cuts, but not in shape. I always feel high-powered women, who almost always end up wearing black blazers to work, needn’t go for a severe look.” To add some feminine mystique, his recommendation is to “wear lacy inner-wear.

Inclement conditions might be a bit of an understatement—rain turned into snow about halfway through the men's race, and it continued throughout the women's race as well. Kuzmuk pointed out that many runners had to wear hats with a brim, because,
