In addition to breaking meet and pool records in each of his individual events, Cole also automatically qualified for NCAAs in the mile--by an almost unheard-of eight seconds. Cole also anchored the 800 free relay, outhustling Yale's George Gleason (who took second in the 200 free) to win the event for the Crimson.
"It was awesome to win the distance events and to be a part of the 800 free relay," Cole wrote in an e-mail. "I was happy with my 500 swim...As far as my 1000 and mile go...I think that I am capable of going faster, and I hope that when I finally rest for NCAAs, I will drop more time."
While Shevchik and Cole covered the IM and distance events for Harvard, the breaststroke events belonged to Grant. The freshman's personal best times were good enough to break both the 100 and 200 breaststroke school records. His 100 breast time of 54.42 also automatically qualified him for NCAAs and was just one hundredth short of a meet record.
