“It’s a really good in-season time for her,” Davies said. “It’s the fastest the Ivy League teams have posted thus far.”

Evans turned in her standard two-win performance in the butterfly events, leading freshman Stacy Blondin and senior Kate Nadeau in a top-three sweep in both the 100- and the 200-yard contests.

“She also is not going to let anybody take away her steam,” Davies said. “She’s doing really well. She’s very versatile. In the middle of the meet they decided to switch her from the 200 breast to the 100 fly.”

Blondin took second in the 200, while Nadeau bested the first-year by 0.01 seconds in the 100.

In the penultimate event of the day, Chang, Stapleton and Evans squared off in the 200-yard individual medley. Despite her relative inexperience, Chang upstaged both her upperclass teammates, winning in 2:05.25—2.81 seconds faster than Stapleton and 5.1 seconds faster than Evans.

“Because we weren’t as uptight about winning anymore, we maybe swam a little bit better,” Chang said. “We weren’t so worried.”

The Harvard women’s swimming and diving team returns to the waters on Dec. 6, when the squad travels to New York for a tri-meet against Columbia and Penn.
