While Gustafsson and most of the team sees this weekend as a stepping-stone for the team's future success, it also marks the end of the seniors' careers.
Seniors Jo, Leight, Calfee, Todor, Machorek, Ana Cenanovic, Sarah Winfield, Naomi Szekeres and Tracy Thall all waved good-bye to Blodgett Pool this weekend, as their Harvard athletic careers are now officially over.

"This weekend was a great way to finish our careers," Machorek said. "It was very emotional but we had a great time because everyone performed so well."
With this enormous loss, the team will have to rebound in seasons to come.
The Crimson hopes the improvements made this season will help compensate that loss.
