W. Swimming Sweeps Weekend

Perhaps more decisive than these individual triumphs, though, came in the Harvard relays. In the 200 medley relay, freshman Anna Fraser, sophomore Janna McDougall, Chock, and co-captain Corie Calfee stormed past the Panthers and never looked back, finishing in 1:48.01--almost two seconds before the next team.

The Crimson then closed out the meet with another crushing relay victory, this time in the 400 freestyle relay with sophomore Sarah Murphy, Chock, freshman Christen McConnell, and McDougall.

"All of the great performances on Saturday motivated us to do even better on Sunday," said Jo, who won the 100 butterfly against Penn.

The Quakers posed little threat to the Ivy-leading Crimson the entire meet, as Harvard accumulated a larger and larger lead as the meet continued.

Freshman Jessi Walter led the way with two individual wins. She first flew into the wall in the 100 backstroke to take the win in 1:00.91 and then showed her endurance by outlasting the competition to take the gold in the 200 backstroke in a convincing 2:12.43.

"Jessi was awesome this weekend," said junior Karen Milkosky. "The meet was dragging a little, but her tremendous efforts got us up on our feet and cheering."

The diving contingency was not to be out done, however. Sophomore Posy Busby and juniors Camila McLean, Kristin Hennings, and Ali Shipley all teamed up to sweep both the one and three meter boards. Shipley captured both events.
