M. Swimming Bests Tigers For Title

Also winning multiple individual events were junior David Cromwell and freshman Geoff Rathgeber. Cromwell won both the 100-yard and 200-yard backstroke events, while Rathgeber claimed both the 200-yard and 400-yard individual medleys.

With the Ivy crown secured, the Crimson finishes its dual meet season Feb. 12th against Penn, and then will turn its preparation to the upcoming ECAC and EISL Championships.

“We were all thrilled with the win and surprised by the margin of victory [against Princeton]. But we definitely don’t expect Princeton to roll over for Eastern’s,” Gray said. “The confidence we gained over the weekend should propel us through the next four weeks of training and leave us well prepared.”

As thrilled as Murphy was with the results of the meet, he was not satisfied.

“We will need to perform at a much higher level at EISL Championships if we expect to be successful,” he said.
