"The first day was just tougher," Cadman said. "We didn't swim as well as we wanted to."
Determined not to let the meet slip away, the Crimson came out ready to race on Saturday.
Led by a strong sprinting corps and a resurgent diving platoon, the Crimson made sure to send a message to the visitors.
"I think the big thing was that we went one through five in the hundred free," Cadman said. "In the diving, we went one and three. Princeton has some of the best divers in the conference."
Indeed, the Crimson dominated the 100-freestyle race. Junior Jamey Waters led the pack with a 44.91 win, but was trailed closely by teammates Ben Rosen at 45.27, Brian Swinteck at 45.50, Matt Fritsch at 45.62, and Dan Barnes at 45.83. Princeton's Jamie Holder could not crack into the Top Five with his time of 45.89.
For the first time in as long as he could remember, Cadman said Harvard won a diving event against the strong Tiger team.
Freshman Erik Patton won the 3-meter diving event with a 261.80 score, 10 points better than Princeton's Rich Birrer. Harvard sophomore Erik Frost grabbed the bronze with a 240.00.
