Harvard 75, Northeastern 70
Jan. 11, 2002
Allston, Mass.Northeastern lost the annual dual meet against Harvard 75-70 on Jan. 11 but saw two indoor
records fall. Captain Vinny Tortorella set a new record of 69’9.25 in the 35-pound weight throw,
destroying the old of 68’2.5 held by legend Boris Djerassi. Tortorella’s performance was just off
the automatic NCAA qualifying mark of 70’0.5 but he will almost certainly be selected for the meet.
Sophomore Idris Payne set a new school record of 21.70 seconds in the 200, downing the record
of 21.88 shared by Ben Thurston and Dave Klemic. Payne also won the 400, nearly setting a new
NU record in that as well, with his time of 47.84 seconds. The Huskies also got big performances
from Bryan McCants, who won the 60 hurdles and 500, and from Derek Anderson, who won the
shot put and took second to Tortorella in the weight throw. NU swept the pole vault, led by
freshman Aaron Hill.
