"Seeing a senior and freshman both set school records was extremely inspirational for the rest of us," said junior Nancy Jo. "It was certainly a motivational force for us at Ivies. Plus, it really bridged the classes and united us."

February's Ivy Championships were also marked by two impressive event wins for Harvard. Junior Corie Calfee led a Crimson point scoring bonanza in the 100-breaststroke, beating out two of her teammates in the finals to take the win.

Deveney, Calfee, Murphy, and freshman Janna McDougall chimed in with a victory in the 400 medley relay, out-touching the Princeton contingency by one tenth of a second to help make up for the points lost in the previous relay disqualification.

The Crimson dual meet record wasn't too shabby, either.

Ending the season 8-3, 5-2 Ivy, the squad firmly placed itself as the third best team in the league. As with the Ivy Championship results, however, it impressively narrowed the margins of defeat from previous seasons in meets

against Brown and Princeton.
