Men's Swimming and Diving Wins Season's Final Home Meet

Junior Logan Houck racked up a pair of solo wins in the 200-yard butterfly and 500 freestyle. The Harvard rookie duo of freshmen Michael Zarian and Miles McAllister took the next two spots in the 500 free, with Zarian nine seconds behind Houck and McAllister 13 seconds back from his classmate.

Zarian also contributed to an impressive showing from the team’s first-years in the 100-yard backstroke. Whisenant won the event with a mark of 49.80 seconds, and Bathory was close behind in third place, with Zarian taking fourth.

Reihman got in on the solo success as well, finishing with the third-best time in the 50-yard freestyle, a mere two-hundredths of a second behind Rider senior Zachary Molloy in second. Lutz touched the wall ahead of Molloy to win the event.

Lutz would also go on to claim second-place honors in the 200 breaststroke, outpacing third-place Lam by three-tenths of a second. Dai mirrored Lutz’s effort in the 100-yard iteration, finishing in second place.

With another win to its name, the Crimson will turn its attention to the championship portion of its season. The team will battle for the regular-season Ivy League dual title when it takes on Yale and Princeton, the only other program still undefeated in the Ancient Eight.

“I think our team as a whole did very well [against Bryant and Rider], considering many of us are still in the height of our season,” Dai said. “We demonstrated in this meet that we can swim well in any circumstances, in any events, and that puts us in a great position both mentally and physically for HYP and Ivies.”
