Harvard hosts Yale next weekend with even more than the usual rivalry providing incentive.
Before the meet, Harvard will have memorial service for legendary coach Bill McCurdy, who led Harvard for 30 years.
"Like a true Harvard man, he hated Yale, so we're going to try to honor his memory by beating Yale," Ciollo said. "A lot of alums will be out there."
Also at stake is a spot on the Oxford-Cambridge roster. Every two years, Harvard and Yale form a team that competes in the summer against their British equivalents. The schools take turns hosting the events which is in England this year.
The top two finishers in each individual event qualify for the trip along with some coached' selections.
"In a way, our focus is beating Yale, but for a lot of people, there's that extra incentive," Ciollo said.
