Senior Dave Schwartz made the first team in the 200 breaststroke and also appeared on the 400 medley relay team. He also made the second team in the 100 breaststroke.
Seniors Matt Cornue and Eric Matuszak, along with freshman Jamey Waters, appeared on two All-Ivy relay teams.
Harvard was also represented well on the second team, led by junior Greg Wriede in the 200 individual medley (behind Kiedel), the 400 individual medley and the 200 backstroke.
Junior Denis Sirringhaus made the second team in the 1650 freestyle (behind Martin), junior James Zenyuh made the team in the 100 backstroke, and freshman Will Oren earned the 200 butterfly second team slot.
