A strong finish from senior David Pfeifer in the men’s three-meter dive rounded out the weekend for the Crimson. Pfeifer, who finished fifth in the final, recorded a score of 322.50, finishing three spots ahead of fellow senior Ross.

The standout performances of seniors Ross and Pfeifer were the highlights of the divers’ trip to the Peach State, with strong showings from freshmen Watts and Decaprio rounding out the tournament.

The Texas and Georgia Invitationals were good measuring sticks for a Harvard swimming and diving Team that has gone 3-0 to start the season. Competing against top talent from around the country, the Crimson performed admirably in the water.

“We knew that Texas is one of the fastest, if not the fastest teams in the country,” Houck said. “We knew that the Invitational was going to offer us very stiff competition, hopefully we’ll be more prepared for the Ivy League Championship at the end of the season”.

The team will enter the holiday break hoping the encouraging results from the weekend are a sign of things to come. The team will return to the pool the afternoon of Jan. 6 at Arizona State.
