Men’s Swimming & Diving Hosts Day One of HYP Meet
February 01, 2020 | Men's Swimming and Diving
PRINCETON, N.J. – The Princeton University men's swimming & diving team completed a competitive first day at the HYP meet inside DeNunzio Pool Friday night, holding an advantage over Yale University and tying with Harvard University.
The Tigers have 106 points to 80 by Yale and are tied with Harvard at 93 points each.
"It was an electric environment in DeNunzio," said head coach Matt Crispino. "All three teams are competing well and bringing out the best in each other. We had some outstanding swims tonight and numerous lifetime bests, and the divers came through in a big way. A lot of depth players are stepping up to contribute, which is key for this meet. I'm looking forward to seeing the team perform tomorrow – we have some of our best events coming up in the second half of the meet so it should be fun."
Princeton earned first-place finishes in five events; Charles Leibson touched the wall at 1:36.87 seconds to win the 200 freestyle and Derek Cox finished first in the 100 breaststroke after clocking in at 53.03, an NCAA B cut.
Raunak Khosla won the 200 butterfly in 1:42.81 seconds and the 200 IM in 1:45.66 seconds, both NCAA B cuts, while Colten Young continued his outstanding form on the boards, winning the 1-meter with a score of 362.10.
