Yale started off strong with three of the top five qualifiers in the middle-distance event. Brian Hogan (4:18.75) and Kei Hyogo (4:19.09) went 1-2, while teammate Rob Harder took fifth in 4:21.11.

Overall, however, Harvard had the strongest morning with a total of six qualifiers, two in each heat.

Princeton unleashed in the 200 IM, claiming the top four spots in the A final with Byron Sanborn (1:45.51), Teo D’Alessandro (1:45.60), Connor Maher (1:45.73) and Marco Bove (1:45.89) all doing fine work this morning.

Harvard did some work this morning in the 200 IM as well, claiming a total of six qualifiers. That’s not going to balance against Princeton’s four big scorers, though.
