On the diving side, freshman Leslie Rea won both the 1-meter (267.82) and 3-meter (269.10) competitions. Sophomores Marissa Ash and Anne Taylor helped round out the Harvard sweeps of both events. The relay meet was the Crimson’s last home competition of the season, and the team’s two seniors—Sundberg and co-captain Kelly Mooney—were honored on the Senior...
