If you want an event to watch over the next few years for the Princeton men, it could be the 200 back; five Tigers — all with at least two years of eligibility remaining — posted Top-100 finishes in the Thursday event. Rising junior Corey Okubo continued his strong week be taking 32nd in the event in 2:02.19, while incoming freshman Sam Cuthbert posted a Top-70 finish in 2:04.33.
Rising sophomore Cole Buese, who had one of the busiest weeks of any PUCSDT competitor, wasn't far behind, as he took 72nd in 2:04.45. Another incoming freshman, Wade O'Brien, finished 81st in 2:05.05, while his 2020 classmate Matthew Marquardt took 97th in 2:06.35.
The next men's event on Thursday for the Princeton men was the 200 IM, and three key members of the Tigers' 2016 Ivy championship team posted strong showings. Teo D'Alessandro, the Princeton record-holder in the event and the three-time reigning Ivy League champion, finished 47th in 2:04.88, while Okubo followed his 200 back showing by going 34th in the 200 IM in 2:04.05.
Buese also had a double on Thursday, and he went 65th in the event in 2:06.46.
There were two women in competition Thursday, and the duo was led by Lisa Boyce '13. The former von Kienbusch Award winner took 28th in the 100 free in 55.99; she missed making the semifinals by less than half a second. Rising junior Alisabeth Marsteller also posted a Top-100 finish, as she took 93rd in 57.83.
Marstellar's classmate, Lindsay Temple, entered the Trials as the reigning Ivy League champion in the 200 back, and she posted an impressive performance in the event by placing 65th in 2:16.69. Future teammate Christie Chong also looked strong, as she placed 82nd in 2:17.69.
The final event for the men was the 100 fly, and two more Tigers were in competition. Rising sophomore Ben Schafer had a Top-60 finish in 54.51, while D'Alessandro finished 94th in 55.17 for his final swim representing Princeton.
The final event of Trials Week with Princeton representation was the women's 50 free, where Boyce wrapped up a full week by placing 106th in 26.43.
