The Crimson rebounded from this defeat, taking second place at the ECAC Championships. Schindewolf won the 400-yard individual medley, while sophomore Nicholas DuCille claimed second in the 50-yard freestyle.

With this success, Harvard had another chance to take down the Tigers but again fell just short, taking second at the Ivy League Championships. Meyer had another solid performance for the Crimson, grabbing titles in 500-yard, 1,000-yard, and 1,650-yard freestyle races.

“We were a little disappointed we didn’t win the Ivy League Championships this year,” Meyer said. “Beating Princeton is a top priority, but we had some good individual standouts and performed well.”

Meyer continued this run at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships, taking All-American honors and 14th place overall with a time of 14:58.13 in the 1,650-yard freestyle.

With a successful season completed, Harvard looks to prove itself against a strong Ivy League field next year, especially rival Princeton.

“The plan is for all of us to improve for our individual best times,” Yntema said. “We have a renewed focus and a strong team for next year.”
