Gaissert Wins 100 Freestyle in HYP Final Session

Bulldogs Fall to Harvard and Princeton

PRINCETON, N.J. - Following a difficult first day, the Yale men's swimming team gave its all this afternoon in the final events of the H-Y-P meet. While the Bulldogs did fall to both the Tigers and the Crimson, their effort on Day 2 led to the competition being a much tighter affair. Yale lost to Harvard 222–131 and to Princeton 182–171.
 
The freestyle event was strong for Yale throughout this meet. Henry Gaissert continued his senior year brilliance, winning the 100-yard freestyle with a rapid 43.49 finish. Philippe Marcoux was close behind, taking second with a time of 43.49.
 
Christian Bell took home third in the 200-yard backstroke with a final time of 1:45.79. Similarly, Patrick Frith was third in his 100-yard butterfly event, posting a strong 47.71 finish.
 
Yale shined in the diving, capturing a crucial victory. Christian DeVol and JP Ditto took first and second in the 3-meter dive with scores of 339 and 321.20 respectively.
 
The Bulldogs were once again superior in their relay events, especially in the 400-yard freestyle relay. The team of Gaissert, Joseph Page, Nathan Stern, and Marcoux blew their competition out of the water with a blistering 2:53.86 time to secure first.
 
Yale gets back to work at the Ivy League Championship later this month.
