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. Freshman Zac Ranta tallied points for the Crimson as well, with wins in both the one-meter and three-meter diving events. “This team has definitely been the most focused and cohesive team I’ve been on since I’ve been at Harvard...
