“It’s really just wake up, practice, get lunch, practice again, get dinner, and go to sleep. So it really is a constant grind.”

“It’s really just wake up, practice, get lunch, practice again, get dinner, and go to sleep. So it really is a constant grind.”
“I’m super excited to be back because for a lot of us, it was the first track meet in two years,” Juskeviciute said. “We’ve just been working for two years now. We’re excited and I think the energy just carried us.”
To the Editor:
The title of the article, “School Spirit Must Be Sacrificed for Public Safety” makes one major assumption about athletics at Cornell. Athletics do not equate to school spirit, in fact they represent much more than what spectators, fans and otherwise non-participatory parties see on the outside.
Speaking on behalf of fellow athletes, most of us have worked hard our entire lives for an opportunity to put our abilities to the test at the highest levels of performance. Our personal journeys in athletics should not be reduced to something that is enjoyed primarily as entertainment. With the cancellation of spring competition, the Ivy League has played with the heartstrings of
athletes across the country. We do not need to hear from people, mainly non-athletes and professors, constantly chiming in on the conversation about what athletes should think about having our seasons canceled.
“I said I would never do track,” Juškevičiūtė recalled. “Back home, we don’t have high school sports, but once a year, [there was] sort of like a cross country meet. You would run one kilometer for your school so I would always have to do it. My PT teacher would always say, ‘you should do track,’ and I was like, ‘I will never do track. I’m not interested — it’s the most boring sport.’”
Senior Claire Kao set a new school record on the pole vault at 4.08m.
15 different members of the Red won events at Barton Hall on Saturday.
The men’s and women’s teams both beat out Binghamton for first place and saw many of their members break personal records in the process.
The Red excelled at the Greg Page Relays.
Cornell had two first-place finishes, coming from freshman Beatrice Juskeviciute in the heptathlon and senior Briar Brumley in the 3000-meter steeplechase. Along with these finishes, the Red had eleven top-three finishes, which led to its ultimate third place finish.
The Red dominated the 800-meter event with eight members finishing in the top ten.
