Paco Canales and Kevin O'Connell, members of the swim team, said yesterday that losing Fullerton and Yntema makes Harvard's chances of doing well as a team in next month's Eastern Swimming Championships very poor.
As expected, Loughran took the race after a fast start. Maass went out more slowly, hoping to speed up at the end and nab second. Canales, who shaved for the meet, chose a pace in between.
"I went out too fast after Loughran," Canales said yesterday. "I soon realized I couldn't catch him and slowed down, but by 500 yards I was tired, and at 700 Maass caught me." The two dueled for 250 yards, but on the gun lap, Canales started to pull ahead...
Loughran, of course, won the race in 9:41, with Canales swimming a 9:44.9 (his best time by five seconds) and Maass finishing in 9:45.4.
Although Harvard led by only 10-6 after those two events, the Crimson had the momentum and was completely in command. "I thought Canales coming in second in the 1000 was the key to the meet," Crimson coach Ray Essick said yesterday. "After that I knew we had it."
