CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – No. 23 Harvard Men's Swimming and Diving earned a pair of home wins on Saturday, taking down Penn, 207-91, and Boston College, 230-68. The decisions sent the Crimson seniors out with a victory and moved Harvard to 7-0 on the season and 5-0 in the Ivy League.

How it Happened

  • The Crimson began the morning with a victory in the 200 medley relay. Anthony Rincon, Marre Gattnar, David Schmitt and David Greeley finished the event in 1:29.52, just ahead of Oliver Pilkinton, Joshua Chen, Sonny Wang and Evan Croley (1:30.49).
  • Harvard posted the top-2 times in the 1,000 free as Shane Washart and Tristan Dalbey finished ahead of the field. Washart logged a time of 9:28.41 and Dalbey was close behind, completing the race in 9:30.11.
  • The 200 free featured four Crimson swimmers in the top-4 positions. Greeley won with a time of 1:39.37, and was followed by Ben Littlejohn (1:39.60), Harris Durham (1:39.77) and Gattnar (1:40.56).
  • Rincon was victorious in the 100 back, registering a time of 48.84. The senior led a group of three that finished ahead of the pack, with Schmitt (49.49) and Evan Croley (50.25) coming in second and third, respectively.
  • Adriano Arioti won the 200 fly in 1:48.26, and later collected a victory in the 200 back (1:46.47).
  • Harvard continued to put forth a strong showing as the day went on as it boasted the top three swimmers in the 50 free (Wang – 19.82, Pilkinton – 20.71, Anders Aistars – 20.94), 3-meter diving (Adam Wesson – 403.40, Jack Holland – 343.40, Raphael Tourette – 336.30) and 100 free (Wang – 45.07, Greeley – 45.42, Gattnar – 45.89).
  • The Crimson's top-3-individual-event-streak ended with the 200 back, but its performance was still a successful one. Arioti finished in first place, as previously mentioned, with Rincon checking in right behind at 1:48.02.
  • Washart (4:34.76), Durham (4:35.98), Aistars (4:37.56) and Novinski (4:39.50) made up the top four of the 500 free.
  • Schmitt captured the 100 fly in 48.48, touching the pad just ahead of Aayush Deshpande (49.39).
  • After winning the 3-meter diving competition, Wesson made it a clean sweep with a 1-meter score of 359.05. Tourette, meanwhile, was the runner-up at 324.85.
  • Putting an exclamation point on the day was Harvard's triumph in the 200 free relay. Wang, Greeley, Pilkinton and Gattnar blew away the field, finishing in 1:20.49, more than three seconds better than second-place Penn (1:23.55).
