Im was recently ranked first in the national NCAA poll for the 200-yard backstroke. Oren, who set the school record for the 200-yard butterfly at the Texas Invitational last month, is currently ranked second in the country in the same poll.

The meet itself showcased the seniors' talent--of the 12 individual events, seniors won 7. In addition to Im and Oren's successes, co-captain Mike Groves took the 200 freestyle in 1:43.26. Co-captain Matt Fritsch won the 50 free in 21.37, while fellow sprinter Jamey Waters out-powered Navy senior Clint Cornell to win the 100 freestyle in 45.74.

Senior Greg Walker also demonstrated power on the diving boards, totaling 283.79 points on the one-meter and 317.03 on the three-meter. Unfortunately, Walker's scores settled for second-best to those of Navy freshman Thatcher Carr, who totaled 328.35 and 341.85, respectively.

The freshman class' contribution to the team win, however, was not to be discounted. Distance ace John Cole secured two wins for the Crimson, finishing first in both the mile (15:20.74) and the 500 free (4:32.05). Freshman Rassan Grant won the 200 breaststroke in 2:06.33. Sophomore Mike Gentilucci snuck in a win in the 100 breast, touching at 58.60.

The Crimson men took first through third place in both of the meet's relays. The team of Im, Grant, Senior Adam Shaw, and Barnes took the 200-yard medley relay in 1:32.67 while Oren, Sophomore Jan Cieslikiewicz, Sophomore Andrew McConnell, and Junior Michael Sabala won the 800 free relay with a final time of 6:59.77.

In addition to featuring true embarrassment for the Navy squad, Saturday's meet also marked the men's annual Ironman challenge.

According to tradition, the Ironman requires that one Harvard freshman race in every event of the meet, including every leg of each relay. The Ironman is also required to swim during both diving breaks, often butterfly for hundreds of yards at a time. This year's Ironman was Kemi George, who finished 4,200 yards of racing (approximately two and a half miles) in just under 48 minutes. After he completes the last event, the Ironman is carried off on a stretcher.
