Carbone, for his part, also took home first place in both the 200 breaststroke and the fly at the same distance. Freshman Christian Yeager cleaned up in the 200 back for his third win in the event this season.
“I think we’re in a really good place, especially considering the consistency we’ve had,” Carbone said.
The win was Harvard’s largest margin of victory this season. The squad placed at least two competitors in the top three spots in all but two events.
The Crimson will return to the Brown pool for the Ivy League Championships, a three-day event beginning on March 7. The team attempted to replicate the structure of that meet against the Bears by working out before the races and waking up early the next morning to get in another tough swim.
“There was a lot of energy going in because we wanted to make it feel just like Ivy’s, so we prepared ourselves to compete as if it’s the end of the season,” Mosca said. “I thought it was a good experience, and it was fun to do that with the team.”
