It was the 400 medley relay ‘A’ squad of Osada, McNamara, Yakubovich, and Farris that got the team back on track. The group won the event by over four seconds, beating out the ‘B’ lineup of senor Jack Manchester, co-captain Eric Ronda, Kim, and junior Luke Morgan-Scott, which took second.

Harvard also came away with a win in the 200 medley relay, thanks to strong swimming from Tan, McNamara, Yakubovich, and Lutz.

Finally, the team ended the meet the way it began – with a relay win. Freshman Raphael Marcoux, Yakubovich, Tan, and Farris picked up first place in the 400-meter freestyle relay to put an exclamation point on the Crimson victory.

Marcoux and Farris’ strong performance was just one of many over the course of the meet from the Harvard freshman class, which has picked up decisive results for the team throughout the season.

Farris also chipped in a win in the 100 freestyle, while Marcoux took third in the 50 and 100 freestyle events. Fellow first-year Daniel Chang also took second place in the 200 IM and 200 breaststroke and third in the 400 IM.

The Crimson added to the rookies’ success with a pair of podium sweeps to round out the victory. Osada, Manchester, and Castro-Abrams took the top three spots in that order in the 200 backstroke. In the following event—the 100-meter butterfly—Yakubovich picked up the win ahead of second-place Tan and Lutz in third to replicate the feat.

The meet was Harvard’s final tuneup before the Ivy League Championship, to be held later this month at Blodgett Pool in Cambridge.

“I think the times we posted this weekend set us up very well for Ivy's,” Farris said. “We have two and a half more weeks to rest and focus on the details to get ready for the meet.”
