Harvard (8-1, 6-1 Ivy) left the rest of the Ivy League in its wake at the championship. Harvard had lost to Princeton in dual-meet competition, but at Easterns, the Crimson won the meet with a total score of 1,560, 259.5 points ahead of Princeton.
"I think everyone's main goal coming into this weekend was to defend our EISL crown," said sophomore Dan Shevchik. "We overcame so many obstacles this season [injury-wise]...winning despite all of these obstacles showed the character of our team."
The team competed without the talents of diver Enrique Roy, who had hit his head on the diving board during warm-ups Thursday night. Though the freshman suffered a skull fracture in the accident, he was immediately discharged after treatment at a local hospital and in the process of recovering.
Roy's teammates displayed true character in his absence--Shevchik and distance swimmer Cole took home three individual gold medals apiece. Freshman breaststroker Rassan Grant also clocked two first-place individual finishes and helped both the 200- and 400-yard medley relays post two new school records.
