Ivy Foes Cornell, Dartmouth No Match for Crimson at Home

Co-captain Rob Newell earned another first-place finish in the 200-yard backstroke with 1:52.83, while the 200-yard breaststroke went to sophomore Jason Ting (2:07.62). Junior Owen Wurzbacher finished not far behind, bringing Harvard third-place points with a time of 2:09.48.

The Big Green demonstrated its strength in the 500-yard freestyle and the 100-yard butterfly, taking a first and second in the former and finishing 1-2-3 in the latter.

But the Crimson did not give up too much, following Dartmouth with a 3-4 finish by junior Greg Roop and freshman Reed Snyder in the 500. Harvard also captured fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh in the 100 with performances by Pretto, freshman Kyle McIntee, Lee, and junior Ryan Cutter.

In three-meter diving, Mosca again took first with a score of 361.95. Zarrella sealed second with 314.20 points, just passing Cornell junior Jon Zollo by 0.5 points.

The Crimson concluded the meet just as it had started it—with multiple first-place finishes. In the 200-yard individual medley, Katis touched with a time of 1:51.45, while Janney, junior Ian Mirisola, and Crigler took fourth, fifth, and sixth behind the Big Green.

The closing event, the 200-yard freestyle relay, ended in a Crimson victory over Dartmouth by .6 seconds, finishing with a time of 1:23.35.

“We have a really good group of guys who are working really hard,” Schumacher said. “We pulled through as a team and swam well.”
