Princeton Opens Ivy Season With Tri-Meet Split; Okubo, 400 Free Relay Post Wins
November 19, 2016 | Men's Swimming and Diving
COMPLETE RESULTS
The reigning Ivy League champion Princeton men's swimming and diving team opened its 2016-17 Ivy season this weekend with a tri-meet split at Teagle Pool in Ithaca, N.Y. The Tigers posted a 191-109 win over Cornell, but Penn took the tri-meet with a 192-108 win over Penn, as well as a 222.5-77.5 win over Cornell.
Princeton's lone individual win of the weekend came from two-year NCAA Championships qualifier Corey Okubo, who won the 200 back in 1:49.84. The Tigers also closed the weekend in victorious fashion, as the quartet of Cole Buese, Julian Mackrel, Ben Schafer (pictured), and Alex Lewis won the 400 free relay in 3:01.13.
The Tigers had a handful of runner-up finishes, including two for Buese and one for classmate Matt Harrington, who took second in the 100 fly in 50.14.
Princeton will be off next weekend for Thanksgiving, but it will return to the water the following weekend for the three-day Brown Invitational. The last time the Tigers swam in Providence, they were posting a thrilling final-session rally to surpass Harvard and win the Ivy title.
