The Crimson also took first in both the 200 freestyle relay and the medley relay.
"All of the guys stuck to their strategies," Carver said. "Even if their times weren't indicative of their performance, their swimming went well."
"Well" is somewhat of an understatement. The Crimson swimmers came away with the top three spots in the 500 free, 100 fly, IM, three-meter diving, 200 free, 100 back, 200 fly, 200 back and 100 free events.
"The whole team was very successful," Younger said. "We swept all of the events. We supported each other as a whole--the meet was very exciting."
Looking ahead to the rest of the season, the team has three team goals. First, it wants to win the Ivy League and the Eastern championships. Second, it wants to have several individuals and all relays qualify for the NCAA's. and finally, it wants to finish with a top-15 ranking.
Last year, the Crimson finished off the season on a positive note. Carver says that this year the team is two tothree months ahead of where they were last year at this time.
If his assumption is correct, those extra-workout sessions at the beginning of the season might just pay off after all.
