backstroke events, as she attempts to qualify for her first Ivy Championship finals.

Olympic trialist Katie Wilbur will run down the field in her attempt to win the 400-individual medley, and other Crimson standouts like Lillian Brown, Vicki Chang, and Abbie Davies will surely be hunting down the Bears and Tigers in the medleys and freestyle events.

On the boards, the Crimson will place its hopes in 1999 NCAA qualifier and Ivy finalist Camilla McLean. Having had the most consistent season of the Harvard divers, her experience will be crucial when the heat is on in the Tiger Den.

Captain Ali Shiply, who will be competing on both boards for the first time all year due to injury, and freshman Rene Paradise also have the ability to final and level out the scores against Princeton's fierce diving squad.

If the Crimson fails to accomplish what it is setting out to do in New Jersey, the results may indicate a huge flaw in the structure of a Harvard athletic program that has only known success.

If Wriede-Morawski's squad pulls through with an outstanding performance, the result will hush the critics and prove the Crimson had the situation under control all along.
