Newcomer Bri Osterson finished runner-up in the javelin (111-6). Alyza Koppes was second in the 1500 (4:58.63).
Cornell’s men placed sixth in the 11-team field with 70 points, led by first-year Hadley Beaty who scored top-three finishes in four events.
Beaty was runner-up in the long jump (20-5.25) and took second out of 37 competitors in the 200 (22.38). He crossed third in the 100 (10.94) and ran leadoff on the third-place 4×400 relay (3:34.58) that included Fisher Isaacson, Gabe Soda and Isaak Hutchings.
Hutchings won the 800 in 1:58.96. Soda (4:02.76) and Isaacson (4:05.47) went 2-3 in the 1500.
