...Crimson continued to perform very well on Friday night, as it set three more records. Again a Harvard swimmer broke a record in the first event of the evening, as Brumwell, who broke records all three days, set a new standard of 4:16,994 in the 400-yd. IM. Mitchell lowered his own 200-yd. free record, swimming a 1:44,323 in the afternoon heats, and taking a fifth in the finals...
...gives a fuck about dual meets?" I once heard a swimmer remark. "The only thing I give a damn about are the Eastern and the Nationals." With these words of wisdom in mind, and with Harvard's dual-meet slate (which ended last week with a traditional blitzing by Yale) finally over, the Crimson will be looking for greater glory when it returns to New Haven this weekend for the year's version of the Eastern Seabord Championships...

But, with an exciting final sprint he was able to nip Haydon at the finish and win the race in a new school and pool record time of 4:45.5. Baughman took third with a personal best of 4:50.2, "My strategy was to get him at the end," Mitchell said, "because that is what he tried to do to Baughman...
