The Harvard women's swimming team holds first place after the opening day of the Eastern Women's Swimming League Championships.
Wins by sophomore Keiko Iwahara in the 50-yard freestyle (23.93 seconds) and junior Kara Miller in the one-meter diving (416.35 points) yesterday paved the way for Harvard's 195.5-point showing at Brown's Smith Swim Center.
Also helping the Crimson's cause were second-place finishes in two relays--the 200 freestyle (1:36.53) and the 400 medley (3:54.76).
Brown and Yale are neck-and-neck for second and third place, with scores of 175.5 and 173.5, respectively. Rounding out the top five are Princeton (158.5) and Cornell (120.0).
Easterns is a three-day meet for the Ivy League plus Army and Navy and is considered a natural launching-pad for swimmers who hope for times low enough to qualify for Nationals.
