400 IM

Princeton, already owning a huge point advantage from night two, continued piling on the points with a 1-2 effort this morning in the 400 IM.

Samuel Smiddy (3:45.85) and Corey Okubo (3:45.88) went a closely-contested 1-2, as both crushed the pool record of 3:47.33 set by teammate Teo D’Alessandro in 2013.

The conference record of 3:44.39 set by Dartmouth’s Nejc Zupan is likely to be rewritten this evening.
