Three of the Bulldogs’ star athletes—senior Mike Levine, junior Dana Lindberg and junior James Shirvell—are preparing to trek to Greensboro, N.C., after qualifying for the NCAA Division I East Regionals, hosted by North Carolina A&T on May 23 and 25.

With senior Mike Levine leading the way, the Bulldogs put together several solid performances. The IC4As will conclude on Sunday, but the Elis have finished competing in all their events already, and they will now begin preparations for the remainder of the postseason.

After a remarkable fifth-place finish in the 10,000-meter run by senior Matt Thwaites, the Bulldogs finished the day in ninth place overall, with four points. The Elis trail Bucknell, George Mason and St. Joseph’s (Pa.) by one, two and four points, respectively and are only seven points out of third place. BYU currently leads all teams with 32 points.

The IC4A is a super-conference administered by the Eastern College Athletic Conference including schools from across the New England and Mid-Atlantic regions. Athletes had the chance to qualify for the meet in different events by reaching certain entry standards during regular season and postseason meets throughout the year. Overall, 13 Bulldogs, along with two relay teams, have qualified for the meet, although the Yale coaching staff has not yet finalized who will be competing this weekend. Most of the Bulldogs’ top athletes should, however, be in action in their best events this weekend as the Elis seek to make their presence felt among some of the top athletes and schools in the region.

Levine’s second-place showing in the discus throw got him named to the All-Ivy Second Team. Levine had already been named First-Team All-Ivy twice in his esteemed collegiate career by winning back-to-back Ivy League discus championships his sophomore and junior years.

After posting several notable marks on Saturday—mostly in preliminary heats—the Elis performed just as well in the final heats on Sunday. The Bulldogs finished with 19 points overall. Princeton won the meet with 190 points, just beating out Cornell (162 points), Brown (75) and Columbia (73).

Despite a busy schedule during the past couple weeks, the Bulldogs looked fresh as they tallied several impressive performances at Princeton’s Weaver Stadium on day one of the two-day meet. Two Elis secured points for their team, and three others qualified for final heats tomorrow. At the end of Saturday’s action, the Bulldogs sit in sixth place with eight total points, two more than Brown and four more than Penn.

The Bulldogs will head to Princeton’s Weaver Stadium for the outdoor Ivy League Heptagonal Championships, which span both Saturday and Sunday. Although final entry lists will not be released until the meet begins on Saturday, most of the Elis’ top athletes can be expected to compete in their best events, as the Bulldogs strive to record a top-tier finish at Heps and gain a few last-minute IC4A qualifiers. The Elis have put together a strong outdoor season—especially over the past few weeks—and seem to be clicking at just the right time. Thu, 02 May 2013 04:00:00 GMT http://yalebulldogs.com/sports/m-track/2012-13/releases/201305021b5gd4 2013-05-02T04:00:00Z http://yalebulldogs.com/sports/m-track/2012-13/releases/20130428mmkciz The Yale men’s track and field team’s schedule seems to just keep getting busier. After sending 10 athletes to Philadelphia to compete at the Penn Relays on Thursday through Saturday, the Bulldogs hosted the annual Yale Springtime Invitational on Sunday. The meet attracted a wide range of local competition, including schools like Connecticut, Hartford, New Haven, Sacred Heart, Southern Connecticut State and Stony Brook. Because of the abundance of meets the Elis have been competing in over the past couple weeks, some of the team’s most accomplished runners took Sunday’s meet off. Thus, along with some of the Bulldogs’ regulars, many of the Bulldogs’ less experienced and younger athletes had the chance to shine on Sunday—and they represented the Elis well.

On Saturday, the third and final day of competition for the Bulldogs at the historic Penn Relays, the Elis’ 4xMile-relay team of senior Timothy Hillas, sophomore John McGowan, sophomore Matt Nussbaum and junior James Shirvell ran the fastest 4xMile relay in Yale history and managed a remarkable fifth-place finish in the Penn Relays College Men's 4xMile Championship of America. The Bulldogs finished in 16:20.35, less than three seconds behind Oregon—the winners of the event—and more than 30 seconds ahead of Yale’s previous record time in the event, a 16:52.38 recorded back in 2004.

Performing in front of tens of thousands of spectators and against many of the world’s best athletes, the Bulldogs made their presence felt in Philadelphia on the second day of the Penn Relays, registering a few impressive marks.

On Thursday through Saturday, the Elis will be in Philadelphia for the 119th annual Penn Relays, and the Bulldogs will follow up the meet by hosting the Yale Springtime Invitational on Sunday.

Five Bulldogs set personal-best times on Friday, and five more did so on Saturday, making this undoubtedly one of the strongest showings the Elis have put on thus far during the outdoor season. Sat, 20 Apr 2013 04:00:00 GMT http://yalebulldogs.com/sports/m-track/2012-13/releases/20130420weio1z 2013-04-20T04:00:00Z http://yalebulldogs.com/sports/m-track/2012-13/releases/20130420mhwxzg Despite only having athletes entered in three events, the Yale men’s outdoor track and field team put on quite a show on day one of the Larry Ellis Invitational, hosted by Princeton. The annual meet pits the Bulldogs against their Ivy League rivals, as well as a massive field of schools from the East Coast and Mid-Atlantic. The Elis will be competing in a majority of their events tomorrow, when they will seek to build on Friday’s success. Fri, 19 Apr 2013 04:00:00 GMT http://yalebulldogs.com/sports/m-track/2012-13/releases/20130420mhwxzg 2013-04-19T04:00:00Z http://yalebulldogs.com/sports/m-track/2012-13/releases/20130418uvnab8 After competing against Harvard last weekend and against Oxford and Cambridge on Tuesday, the Yale men’s track and field team will make the short trek to Princeton this weekend for the annual Larry Ellis Invitational, one of the largest meets the Bulldogs compete in each year. The meet, which last year featured more than 2,000 athletes, provides an opportunity for the Elis to take on all of their Ivy League rivals, as well as a range of colleges from the Mid-Atlantic, New England and elsewhere. This year, more than 70 colleges are registered to compete, in addition to more than 25 track and field clubs.

As has been the case for most of the past several meets, the Harvard-Yale team raced to victory on Tuesday by a score of 13-6, placing first in 13 of the 19 total events and winning the heralded Naughton Trophy.

The meet, which rotates locations and is being hosted by Harvard this year, pits two historic American rivals against two traditional British rivals. Last time the meet was held in 2011, the Harvard-Yale men earned a 15-5 victory. The teams will seek to continue to build off of not only that performance, but also Harvard and Yale’s historical success at the meet: their combined men’s team has won 30 of the 42 meets held since the tradition began in 1899 and 21 of the last 23 meets dating back to 1965.

Despite falling short of Harvard’s 97 points, the Elis had plenty to be proud of at the conclusion of the meet.

This weekend’s meet will be the Bulldogs’ first scored meet and first Ivy League meet of the outdoor season. The Elis will seek to match the types of performances they strung together in the annual meet from 2003 to 2010, when they defeated Harvard in eight consecutive years. Harvard, however, has beaten Yale each of the past two seasons—a streak the Bulldogs hope to end this Saturday. Although Yale's lineup will remain private until Saturday, the Elis should have most of their top athletes entered in their best events this weekend.
