Top-seeded Harvard took the second relay of the night, breaking the DeNunzio Pool record in the 800 free relay with 6:16.19. Ben Littlejohn (1:35.32), Marcus Holmquist (1:34.72), and Mahlon Reihman (1:34.35) handed off to Farris, who blasted a 1:31.80 anchor to pass Princeton and earn the gold for the Crimson. Although they did not break their own Ivy League record, Harvard took down the pool record and now owns the top-five times in the 800 free relay for the Ivy League.
Princeton came in second place with 6:17.88. Leadoff Nicholas Lim (1:34.93) was just .2 behind Yale on the first leg. Raunak Khosla went 1:32.67 to pull the Tigers in front. Max Walther increased the lead with 1:33.55. Dylan Porges went head-to-head with Farris, but his 1:36.73 was 5 seconds slower than the American record-holder’s. Nevertheless, Princeton dropped 6.9 seconds from their seed time and earned a NCAA provisional cut.
Yale got off to an early lead with a 1:34.72 first leg from Noah Millard. Joseph Page, who had anchored the Bulldogs’ medley relay in 18.92 for the fastest split in the field, swam second (1:35.69). Philippe Marcoux (1:36.76) and Nathan Stern (1:38.26) provided the Yale back half to hold off Brown for third place.
Yale and Brown improved by 8. Cornell took 9 seconds off their entry time and Dartmouth bettered their time by nearly 11 seconds.

Some of these guys don’t know how to swim the 200, one went out in 20.5 and came home in 26
I think they aren’t tapered
Idk man, I’d say that’s one of the nicest looking 200s I’ve ever seen. He has a bright future in the event
Thank you, SwimSwam, for your coverage. Where are you finding the names of the swimmers? I see splits but no names when I click on the results. I’m trying to determine if the two fastest freestyle splits were by the Marcoux brothers.
Meet Mobile, or I can see names on the live results here:

Thank you. You guys are the best. (I wrote guys because there must be half a dozen clones of Braden at SwimSwam.)
Dean flipping at 42.6 lol
Faded hard lol
And coming home in 49
Not shaved.
Man died harder than Abraham Lincoln
We would’ve also accepted Bruce Willis, John McClain or Hans Gruber.
He went out very hard, but not sure if the wheels fell off or he shut it down. We know he’s capable of that front end speed in a 200
23.7 on the 3rd 50 for 1:06.5 at the 150
25.3 on the last 50 to land at 1:31.8
Do pray tell why he would shut it down on a relay, when it’s his last race of the night, and there are records at stake?
nice! I can see why your condescension really helps get your point across!
