The Harvard men's swimming team is on a roll, and the Crimson put butter on that roll with wins over traditional rivals Yale and Princeton over the weekend.
In the annual Harvard-Yale-Princeton meet at Blodgett Pool on Friday and Saturday, the Crimson (6-0, 4-0 Ivy) handed the Bulldogs their heads on plates with a 215.5-137.5 win.
"We were ahead of Yale the whole meet," said captain Brian Cadman.
Princeton, though, was more of a challenge as Harvard pulled out a 192.5-160.5 victory in the second day.
"We were down 17 points after the first day to Princeton," Cadman said. "After being down after the first day, it was really exciting to come back and win."
The Crimson struggled on the first day, winning three events. Harvard took the 200-freestyle relay with a time of 1:20.2.
Senior Tim Martin, who is also a Crimson editor, easily won the mile race with a time of 15:14.37, nearly 10 seconds ahead of his closest competitor.
Junior Michael Im won the 100-backstroke in 50.33, narrowly edging Princeton's Andrew Chadeayne.
