Brown dominated Big Red in diving yet again, this time in the 3M dive. Casavant finished first in this competition with a score of 266.70. And last but not least, there was the 400M freestyle relay, arguably the Cornell swimmers' last chance to salvage a shroud of the competitive dignity they lost earlier in the meet. Nope, defeated again. Boyd McLean was by no means shocked by the outcome either, but she was nonetheless impressed by the swimmers' composure.
Mental toughness is one of the things that they showed.
It seems as though they both managed to get past their respective upset stomachs for this meet. We were a little concerned about him earlier in the week because he came down with some kind of strange stomach ailment, and we weren't sure what the cause of it was. It will be interesting to see what this win will do for the swimmers, as they get closer to competing at the Eastern Championship Conference in early March. In the meantime, they will host both Columbia and Yale. In all likelihood, they will be hoping to ride out the wave from this last victory against Cornell.
