With a final score of 212.5, Princeton took the title, defeating second-place Harvard, who had 128 points.

The Tigers boasted five individual championships. Greg Foster won the long jump and the 110 hurdles, while Jackson Clarke won the 200, Harrison Witt won the 1500, and Casey Helm won the discus.

Later in the day, Helm would clinch an Ivy title of his own in the discus, throwing an impressive 58.16m/190-10". Avery Shunneson was right behind him, earning silver with a mark of 54.86m/180-0".

Starting the day's track events, Princeton added 15 points in the steeplechase as Marcelo Parra Ramon and Franco Parra Ramon, first-year brothers, finished second (8:59.76) and third, respectively (9:00.87). Brian Boler added an additional point with a sixth place finish of 9:08.75.

Witt was up next in the 1500, as the decorated senior ran a tactical race to finish first and with space, clocking in at a blazing 3:42.17. The title marks his sixth individual Ivy championship and his second in the outdoor 1500.

Foster also continued an outstanding weekend, as the junior set a new meet record in the 100 hurdles to take the gold with a time of 13.78. His time was just .08 seconds off from the Princeton record, and it marks a new PR.

A trio of Tigers shined in the 100, finishing 2-3-4 as Jadon Spain crossed the finish line first at a fast 10.44. Clarke (10.48) and Paul Kuhner (10.49) were just behind him, the two only separated by a hundredth of a second.

Chris Paige took silver in the 400 hurdles, running a time of 50.86, just .05 seconds off from his all-time personal best.

The 200 was an exciting race Joey Gant and Clarke broke away from the pack in the final stretch, competing to see which Tiger would cross the finish line first. Clarke took the gold with a time of 20.82, but Gant was right on his tail at 21.01
