The Indy recaps Harvard Athletics from this past weekend. Football For Harvard football, the fun just does not stop. In its second Ivy League contest, Harvard defeated Cornell 40-3 behind dominating performances on both sides of the ball. Harvard’s offense put up a perfectly balance 499 yards of offense, and the defense followed up that […]
An unathletic athlete’s take on injuries. I would never really consider myself an athlete in the traditional sense of the word. I live for sports. I want to pursue a career in the sports world. But I have never been particularly good at any of them. Upon arriving at Harvard, it appeared that my athletic […]
