“We need backstrokers, so Meghan swims backstroke,” Davidson later added.
But while the backstroke may be the go-to event for Leddy for most of the season, Davidson says he was most impressed by her finish in the thousand Saturday.
Davidson was acting as the head coach for the day, with the Crimson’s regular skipper, Stephanie Wriede Morawski ’92, nursing her new baby.
As for the team’s upperclassmen, they were competing against each other in an intra-squad match.
“They went very fast,” Kaufman said. “It was important to our coach that our whole team got up and raced. The whole team was fast this weekend.”
The full team will join forces next weekend at the Harvard Invitational
“We’re going to push each other in practice to race in the Invitational next weekend,” Hughes said. “I’m looking forward to having my first meet with the whole team. It’s nice to have upperclassmen there too.”
