W. Swimming Topples Ivy Foes

Chang also was victorious in the 200-yard butterfly, winning in a time of 2:07.91.

Sophomore Molly Ward was twice-a-winner as well, teaming with DeBenedetto, sophomore Ali Bates and senior Anna Fraser to take the medley relay in 1:47.14.

Additionally, Ward captured the 200-yard freestyle in 1:54.99, edging out freshman teammate Elizabeth White by 1.16 seconds.

The Crimson excelled not only in the lanes, but also on the boards as well.

Junior Renee Paradise and sophomore Anne Osmun finished one-two in both the one- and three-meter diving contests, with Paradise placing first in each.
