Senior captain Chock agreed.
"We just were not doing things right at the beginning of the meet," Chock said.
The Crimson was slipping off the blocks at the beginning of races and swimmers' goggles were falling off their heads upon these faulty starts.
A brief team meeting halfway through the meet put the team back on course.
Although the Crimson eventually rolled past Cornell and Dartmouth with ease, Harvard will find a more challenging opponent in last year's Ivy League runner-up Brown this Friday.
"It's going to be a tough meet," McDougall said. "If we are going to win, we are going to have to do everything right and we can't make any mistakes."
The Crimson will be working with a stronger lineup against the Bears, as Coach Stephanie Wreide's strategy for the Brown dual meet will be aimed at scoring the most points possible.
