Year in Sports 2024-25

In the past few years, college sports has been turned on its head. New name, image, and likeness money poured in as transferring became easier than ever and an NCAA settlement is poised to alter the makeup of collegiate athletics programs across the nation. With all the uncertainty, one thing has remained constant: Harvard athletes are still landing on top.

This year, Harvard Athletics gave us no shortage of unforgettable moments and Crimson photographers are proud to have been there to capture them. From the 140th playing of The Game between Harvard and Yale at Harvard Stadium, to the return of women’s basketball to March Madness for the first time since 2007, the Multimedia Board had the chance to photograph some of the biggest moments of the year. Between the Ivy League championships, record-breaking performances, and quiet moments before the whistle blew, our photographers aimed to tell the story of the Crimson through every frame. These photos are just a snapshot of the energy, effort, and emotion that defined Harvard sports this year.
