The Harvard men's swimming team celebrated Presidents' Day in style over the weekend.
Competing in front of a full group of potential high school recruits,
Harvard handed Penn a devastating 227-54 loss Saturday afternoon.
At noon on Saturday, the Crimson began what would turn out to be a two-hour embarrassment for the Quakers.
Harvard started off the meet untraditionally with an individual event, the 100-meter backstroke. The Crimson's success in the first event was an indicator of things to come.
Junior Michael Im, freshman Dan Shevchik and sophomore Kyle Egan went 1-2-3, respectively, in the event, shutting out all Quakers from the top three spots.
Im later crowned himself a double event winner, taking the 200 individual medley in a time of 1:56.51.
After establishing its dominance early during the meet, Harvard chose not to compete with its strongest lineup and even swum several of its best swimmers exhibition, meaning that the swimmers were allowed to compete in their individual events without actually scoring points for the team.
