Powerhouse Princeton downs men's swim team

Princeton, one of the powerhouses of the Ivy League, defeated the Engineers on Saturday. Despite the loss, several swimmers showed strong individual performances.

Thomas Slabaugh '96 swam the 100-yard backstroke in 54.3 seconds, and the 200-yard backstroke in 1:59. Both times were the best of the season for Slabaugh.

Ross Downey '95 swam a very strong 200-yard breaststroke in 2:17. Co-captain Jason Stern '94 swam a fast 200-yard freestyle in 1:46.2.

The team is now preparing for Eastern Collegiate Swimming League championships, the final meet of the Ivy League season, which will take place the first week of March.

"I really think we have a good chance at beating some of the teams we did not beat so far in the regular season," Stern said. "A lot of the teams there will be in for quite a surprise."
