Men's Swimming and Diving Clobbers Brown, 206-80

After Pascal’s victory, it was back to the Crimson highlight reel. Sophomore Jason Ting took the 200-yard breaststroke in dominating fashion, coming in over 2.5 seconds ahead of the next swimmer. In the next event, the 500-yard freestyle, it was sophomore Spenser Goodman who put in the winning time at 4:44.02. Goodman’s mark was over four seconds ahead of the next closest competitor and over 10 seconds ahead of the nearest Brown swimmer.

In the 100-yard butterfly, Newell, at 51.28, pulled out his second individual win of the night. The senior’s race was followed by freshman Mike Mosca’s victory at the one-meter dive with a score of 347.93 points.

Katis then followed his teammate’s lead and won yet another event, his third of the meet. This time it was the 400-yard IM, and his time of 3:57.77 led the three Crimson swimmers who placed in that race’s top three.

It was only in the final event of the night that Brown once again grabbed a first-place win. Clocking in a time of 3:10.67, Brown’s “A” Team won the 400-yard relay.

But the Bears’ fate had already been sealed by that point. The loss marked Brown’s worst defeat of the season thus far.

“I think our team is pretty focused right now,” Brophy said. “We are honing in on wrapping up our dual meet season well and going into Ivies focused and united as a team. From here we want to go up and win the Princeton and Yale meet and Ivies; whatever that requires we are ready and willing to do.”
