However the Crimson\u2019s depth across the meet proved to give them the advantage, and they distanced themselves during the third day of the meet to come away with the win. Buoyed by wins from <\/span><b>Sonia Wang <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in the 200 fly (1:57.02) and 400 IM (4:11.42), <\/span><b>Meagan Popp <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in the 200 IM (1:57.94) and 200 breaststroke (2:12.18), and <\/span><b>Danielle Lee <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in the 100 backstroke (53.13), Harvard was also able to place six divers in the championship finals on both 1-meter and 3-meter.
