PRINCETON, N.J. – The HYP meet is known for its intensity and electric atmosphere and rhe 2020 edition lived up to the hype as the Princeton University men's swimming & diving picked up a 182-171 win over Yale University and came up just short against Harvard University 192-161 Sunday inside DeNunzio Pool.

"We knew we'd have a battle on our hands with both teams today and that's exactly what happened," said head coach Matt Crispino. "I'm proud of our guys for being resilient and earning a hard fought victory over Yale. The breaststroke crew, led by Raunak, was huge. This weekend was a great step forward toward the Ivy League championships in four weeks."

Raunak Khosla continued his outstanding season, picking up victories in the 400 IM with a time of 3:46.59 seconds and the 200 breaststroke after he touched the wall at 1:56.00 seconds. Both times were NCAA B cuts and his time in the 200 breaststroke was the third-fastest time in program history.

Princeton also picked up a pair of second-place finishes; the team of Derek Cox, Daniel Arris, Nicholas Lim and Charles Leibson took second in the 200 medley relay in 1:28.00 seconds while in the 500 freestyle Roman Horoszewski finished in a time of 4:24.96 seconds.

On the 1-meter board, Charlie Minns and Colten Young both hit NCAA Zone qualifying scores of 318.70 and 317.25.
