Swimmers Stay Perfect

Crimson men beat Brown, place second at Invite

Cromwell also finished first in the 100-yard backstroke on Friday.

The Crimson’s ‘A’ relay team won the final race of the day, with sophomore Mark Knepley, George, Krna and Cromwell taking first-place in the 400-yard freestyle event.

During the 200-yard medley relay, Harvard’s ‘A’ swimmers—Cromwell, Grant, Krna and junior Ryan Smith—finished less than one second behind Notre Dame, earning them second place.

The ‘A’ relay team also stuck to second place in the 800-yard freestyle relay, in which Cromwell, Kneply, Krna and freshman John Voith came in second behind Notre Dame yet again.

Other individual high finishes came from Grant, who finished second in the 200-yard breaststroke; Knepley, who finished third in the 100-yard freestyle; and the duo of Roy and Rybalko, who came in second and third in three-meter diving.

The second-place finish came after a slow start last Thursday. After some disappointing finishes, the Crimson saw Roy finish first and Rybalko third in the one-meter diving competition.

“We could’ve done better on Thursday,” Moccari said. “But I was happy with the way we responded after not swimming well. We came back with more energy and enthusiasm the next two days.”

The ‘A’ relay team of Cromwell, Grant, Smith, and Knepley turned it up by the end of that first day and won the 400-yard medley relay, just 0.4 seconds ahead of Notre Dame.
