The Tigers opened the day with their third consecutive win in the 200 medley relay and set an Ivy League, meet, and pool record with a time of 1:25.89. Their nearest opponents, Harvard and Yale, battled for second and third, with the Crimson edging out the Bulldogs.
Later that day, Brown posted first- and second-place finishes in the 100 fly when sophomore Tommy Glenn clocked in at 46.73 and freshman Jeffrey Strausser followed narrowly with a time of 47.87.
Glenn’s first-place finish represented the Bears’ first Ivy title in the event in more than a decade.
In the third and final night of the meet, Noelle once again came out on top, winning the 1650 free and earning his third title in as many nights with a pool record of 15:00.16 to extend the Princeton lead.
First-place Harvard finishes in the 100 free and the 400 free relay cut the deficit to 35.5 points and placed the Crimson within striking distance of the Tigers.
But Princeton victories in the three-meter dive, the 200 back, and the 200 breaststroke allowed the Tigers to fend off Harvard and sustain its winning streak.
Princeton closed out the night ahead by a margin of 76.5 points and claimed sole ownership of the 2012 Ivy League title.
“We need to find a way to score a few more points as a team, but all in all it was a nice effort this weekend,” Harvard coach Tim Murphy said.
Though the Crimson fell short of first place, it had several impressive performances, securing four first-place individual finishes and setting six new school records.
Satterthwaite furthered Harvard’s campaign, achieving three Ivy League titles in the 50 free, 100 free, and 200 free, meriting a share of the Phil Moriarty Award, given to the meet’s top point-earning swimmer.
“[Earning the award] was definitely something I did not expect going into the meet," said Satterthwaite, who shared the honor with Princeton's Noelle and Jonathan Christensen, who each earned three titles. "I continued to swim well this year.... And it worked out."
