Adding to the team's successes were the diving skills of both freshman Enrique Roy and senior Greg Walker. Walker won the three-meter with a final score of 294.85, while Roy and Walker took second and third, respectively, on the one-meter board.

Among other highlights from the meet, Shevchik garnered a second-place NCAA-qualifying time of 3:53.22 in the 400-yard individual medley. The sophomore also placed third in the 100 backstroke with a time of 50.04.

"We knew Princeton would be completely tapered and shaved and that they would have the home pool advantage," Cole said. "But for the most part, we were focused and were not going to go down without a fight."

Part of that fight included filling in spots left by sick or injured team members. Notably, the Crimson competed without the help of senior Jamey Waters (who suffered a broken hand after a close finish in the medley relay at Brown last week), sophomore John Persinger and co-captain Mike Groves (due to a back injury).

The team of sophomore Mike Gentilucci and freshman Rassan Grant scored valuable points for Harvard in the breaststroke events. Gentilucci and Grant finished second and third, respectively, both in the 100 and 200 breast.

The Crimson also managed to secure second place in the 100 freestyle as senior Dan Barnes qualified for NCAA's with a time of 44.74. Fellow senior Adam Shaw placed third in the 100 butterfly, while junior Kyle Egan, recovering from a hip flexor injury, touched third in the 200 fly.

The HYP meet comes just one month before the Eastern Championships, to be held at Army's pool in New York. Before Harvard has a chance to settle the score with Princeton, however, they will compete against the rest of the league--first at Cornell with Dartmouth this weekend, then at Pennsylvania on the 17th.
