...yard medley, as well as three individual events. Junior David Guernsey won the 200-yard IM, freshman Jordan Diekema took the 100-yard backstroke, and junior Bill Jones captured the 100-yard butterfly.

In Saturday’s three-meter dive, the senior scored 301.50 points to lead a Harvard effort that was also helped by fourth and fifth-places from freshmen Jennifer Reese and Anne Taylor.
