Summer Polo Overseas
For the 7th year in a row, the Harvard Polo Team traveled overseas in 2017 to participate in summer polo tournaments and match games. Just after graduation, a mixed team with six varsity players embarked to the British Isles for four games over five days on unfamiliar horses. The team played a warmup against a British Household Army team before competing in the Atlantic Cup tournament versus Oxford, Cambridge, and Yale on successive days. With 2 wins and a loss, the team came in runner-up to Oxford. On the successive weekend Harvard Polo moved on to Chantilly, France for the 5th annual match against a graduate team from the French university, Science Po. In mid July, a mixed undergrad/grad team was the fourth Harvard team to travel to China for the 4th annual Intervarsity Polo Tournament hosted by the Metropolitan Polo Club in Tianjin. Harvard again had a 2 win, 1 loss record against London, Oxford and UConn, again recording a a 2-1 record as runner-up to Oxford.
This fall, Harvard will try to balance the record with Oxford by hosting the English team for a match game on Sunday, Sep 17 at Myopia Hunt Club in South Hamilton, Ma before the opening of its Fall 2017 intercollegiate schedule. In previous years, Harvard Polo has hosted teams from The Netherlands, Mongolia, France and an All Stars with players from Singapore, Turkey, Italy and France in this Adam Winthrop Memorial game.
