The ascent to the top of the conference meet standings will require personal best times from every Crimson competitor and an elevated performance by the divers.
"We have a team goal of getting first or second and qualifying people for the NCAAs," captain Pia Chock said. "The only way we're going to accomplish this is by winning relays and outscoring Princeton and Brown in the finals."
Such a performance requires the Crimson to come out fighting in this morning's preliminaries and to perform with the highest level of intensity at each of the meet's six sessions.
The Crimson has done its best in meets when it gets the ball rolling early. If Brown and Princeton start out swimming faster and diving better, there is a slim chance the Crimson will recover.
It is going to take stand-out, team record-breaking performances on the first and second days of competition to set the Crimson up for a successful weekend.
The team will turn to captain Pia Chock, especially in the relays, for success.
"We're going to need high morale and lots of positive energy," Chock said. "This is my last meet in which I'll compete with my whole team and I want to make the most of it."
