W. Swimming Finishes Fourth at Ivies

Chock also swam on four of the Crimson's five relays. Her 51.22 lead-off split in Saturday night's 400-yard freestyle was .06 of a second off the team record and the third fastest time in Harvard history.

Captain Angie Peluse swam the meet of her life, recording five personal best times on the weekend. Peluse finished 7th in the 100-yard backstroke (57.80, 57.62 prelim), 10th in the 200-yard back (2:04.48) and 17th in the 100-yard butterfly (58.66).

Peluse was one of the ten Harvard athletes at the meet to qualify for a championship final out of the twenty that competed.

"I knew I wasn't going to go out without a fight," Peluse said. "I think I always had it in me. This weekend I just was able to put it together."

Senior freestyle and individual medley specialist Lillian Brown finished off her Harvard career just as spectacularly as Peluse and Chock.

Brown was a consolation finalist in three events. She finished 14th in the 200-yard individual medley (2:07.85, 2:07.29 prelims), 14th in the 200-yard butterfly (2:06.97), and won the consolation final in the 400-yard I.M. in 4:28.99 for the Crimson

Brown swam a personal best in every event she entered and contributed as a member of the 800-yard freestyle relay that finished 3rd in finals.
