This weekend's Ivy League Championship Meet at Princeton will be the final regular season competition for the Harvard women's swimming and diving team.

It will also be Harvard's biggest test in several years.

The Crimson's season so far has left more than a few questions still unanswered. Is the Crimson still at the top of the conference? Has the winning tradition of Harvard women's swimming and diving reached an end?

Under Head Coach Stephanie Wriede-Morawksi '92, Harvard is focused exclusively on the Ivies as the one meet where the team can reclaim its position among the best in the Ivy League.

However, the challenge this year is even greater than previously imagined.

Harvard dropped four of its seven dual meets this season, and lost to Pennsylvania for the first time ever last December. Swimmers from Brown, Princeton, and Yale have already posted times this season that outclass the Crimson, and are even faster than Harvard's school records.

Still, the Crimson's fire has just been ignited, and Harvard will have to hope its competitors fastest swims are behind them.

The Crimson's travel squad has gone untapered and unshaved the entire season, whereas Ivy foes Princeton and Brown shaved and rested for their dual meet against each other in December. Yale and Penn also shaved for their dual meets with Harvard earlier this year.
