As if Harvard's dominance in those events weren't enough, the Crimson rounded out the meet by finishing first in the 100 butterfly (Drake, 51.40) and the 400 IM (Oren, 4:02.43). Harvard ended the day with a first-place finish in the 800 free relay, the team of Walker, Shevchik, sophomore Ryan Parmenter, and Lawler clocking 6:49.42. The team of freshman Kevin Budris, sophomore Jan Cieslikiewicz, Im, and McConnell took third.
After routing Brown, the team's focus has turned to bigger and better things--namely, the tri-meet this weekend.
"We're going in with the mentality that Princeton and Yale will both be rested, shaved and ready to put up some fast times," Shevchik said. "Since we won't be shaved, Mike [Im] and I are going to have to step up the intensity."
"We'd love to beat Princeton in their own pool, of course," teammate Dewey agreed, "but we're also concerned with finishing the season strong. HYP is not the main focus of our championship season.
"Basically we just want to get the ball rolling for strong swims at Easterns and NCAA's," Dewey said.
The undefeated Crimson faces the undefeated Tigers and the Yale Bulldogs this Saturday and Sunday at Princeton. The team has not lost an Ivy League meet since 1997.
