M. Swimming Conquers Easterns

Shevchik said he was honored to tie Martin for the Moriarty Award.

"It was an honor to share the award with someone who has accomplished so much," Shevchik said. " I hope that I can contribute as much to the winning tradition that has been established here at Harvard as Tim Martin has contributed in his four years."

Harvard was in such command of the overall meet that, in three finals--the mile, the 500 freestyle and the 200 fly--it had four of the eight competitors.

In the 200 fly, junior Michael Groves, Walker, Kyle Egan and Ryan Egan were Harvard's representatives. Ryan and Kyle Egan placed first and second in the event, respectively, both qualifying for Olympic Trials and NCAA consideration.

"These three events were great for us," Cadman said. "They not only showed our domination at the meet, but with the representation of the younger classes, this is a great indicator of the future of our team."

Other Crimson swimmers who qualified for the Olympic Trials this summer include Waters, Im, Swinteck, and Cadman. By having this many swimmers qualify, Harvard showed the strength of its squad this year.

Though the loss of graduating seniors will be felt, Harvard hopes to build throughout the next several years and to continue to climb nationally.

"This was a great way to finish my career," Cadman said after finishing the final meet of his career. "I could not have asked for a better group of guys, or better circumstances. Winning a title in my last meet will remain as a very special event."
