...down just 89.5 points headed into the penultimate event thanks to a host of top-eight showings, stood on the cusp of denying the Tigers their fifth straight title. With three divers in the three-meter dive finals—and none for Princeton—Harvard needed a clean first-through-third sweep to pull within two points and make leapfrogging the Tigers in the final relay a realistic possibility...
