A strong group of experienced performers helped carry the Crimson to victory this weekend.
Sophomore Jane Humphries doubled up with wins in the 200-yard backstroke and the 200-yard individual medley. She cruised to victory in 2:08.35 and 2:09.67, respectively. Humphries' time in the individual medley was a pool record.
Senior butterflyer Kirra Brandon stroked to a win in the 200-yard butterfly, touching the wall in a time of 2:08.07. Brandon also finished third in the 100-yard fly.
Second to Brandon in the 200-yard butterfly, Lovisa Gustafsson emerged from the shadows and redeemed herself by squeezing out a win in the 500 freestyle. Gustafsson bettered the field in a time of 5:08.87.
On the diving boards, the Crimson saw consistent success.
Senior Camilla McLean captured the three-meter title with 243.30 points and added a third-place finish on the one-meter. Freshman Renee Paradise was second on the one-meter.
Although it never was indicated in the meet's scores, Harvard felt that the meet did not get off to the best start.
"I think we were shaky," McDougall said. "We just weren't crisp."
