"Heps", A Guest Introduction by C. B. JaworskiThough I may be particularly biased, the Heptagonal Championships may be said to be the best conference competition in the nation. Under the guidance and regulations of Ivy League governance the Championships has the ability to highlight true amateur athleticism. Unlike much of the nation’s conferences, neither athletic scholarships nor “back door” enrollment activities hinder the purity of the annual meeting. Additionally, participating athletes faithfully and ardently represent their university rather than themselves. That said, it is not uncommon for athletes to give up personal victory for the opportunity to attain more team points. Whilst provided with the backdrop of historic rivalries and equally storied venues, spectators are further complemented with athletes providing exceptional competition. Though the entire talent pool may not be that of a Big 10 or ACC, the Ancient Eight continually fields noteworthy and nationally ranked athletes. And due to the fact that Heptagonal competition only scores to sixth place, events’ finals never fail to be exciting, tactical and oftentimes scrappy. Having taken part in both Heps and other recognizable national events, I can truthfully state that the Heptagonal Championships is simply extraordinary. I hope you enjoy the available videos provided by Cornell and Runnerspace. Best, Courtney B. Jaworski |
