NEW HAVEN, CONN. – Opening competition at the 2025 Ivy League Outdoor Heptagonal Championships as it seeks its second-consecutive Triple Crown, the Princeton men's track and field team had a successful first day in New Haven on Saturday.
The Tigers claimed one individual title on day one with seven others scoring. With five of 22 events scored, Princeton sits in second place with 37.5 points. Harvard leads with 41 points.

Greg Foster won the long jump title with a mark of 7.71m/25-3.5". A dominant force in the event, Foster is now a five-time Ivy League champion in the long jump across indoor and outdoor seasons.
Also in the long jump, Richard Lawson earned another point for the Tigers, taking sixth with a jump of 7.13m/23-4.75".
In the javelin, Drew Mruk took second place, coming from behind with a mark of 62.36m/204-7" on his last attempt to take the silver.
Asher Robbins claimed bronze in the hammer, throwing 62.07m/203-7 for another six points for Princeton.
Just weeks after setting a new program record in his first time competing in the event, first-year Jacob Nenow won silver in the 10000, running a tactical race before making a strong kick in the final two laps to earn the medal.
A pair of Tigers added points to the tally in the pole vault, as Nick Molloy cleared 5.01/16-5.25 for fourth while Jacob Emerson tied for sixth (4.91/16-1.25") for another half point.
