Sophomore Anna Fraser, only weeks after shoulder surgery, battled back with impressive untapered swims in the 100-yard butterfly and relay events. Fraser's fourth place finish was just tenths off her second place conference swim from last season. Her freestyle relay leadoff was a best-unshaved time as well.
Junior sprinter Janna McDougall recorded two lifetime best-untapered swims at the HYP meet. McDougall swam to a second place tie in the 50-yard free (23.78) and to third in the 100-yard free (51.59). McDougall also led the Crimson 'A' relay to a pair of second place finishes.
In the 200-yard medley, McDougall teamed up with freshmen Erica DeBenedetto, Fraser, and Chock for a season best of 1:45.95.
Coach Steph Wriede-Morawski '92 replaced DeBenedetto with Nadeau for the 400-yard freestyle relay. The team touched second in 3:27.72 and defeated the Princeton 'A' relay.
On the boards, the Crimson did not fair as well. However, 1999 NCAA qualifier Camilla McLean showed off her acrobatics scoring 262.7 points, good enough for a third place finish on the three-meter board.
Amongst all the individual and team achievements, this weekend marked another major disappointment for the Harvard Women's swimming tradition.
For the first time in four years Harvard lost to Yale and in doing so, finished its first losing season in at least seven years.
