NEW HAVEN, Conn.--Eastern League champion Princeton, on the strength of an incredible 40 point diving performance, moved into the lead at the end of the first day's competition at the Eastern Seaboard Championships. Harvard is presently in fifth place.
Firsts by captain RoAnn Costin in the 200-yd, free, and Nancy Sato in the diving accounted for Radcliffe's other firsts in the meet.
RoAnn Costin was a double winner in the 50 yd. backstroke and 100 yd. free. Her performance was backed by victories in the 50 yd. fly, 100 yd. I.M., and the diving by Connie Cervilla, Jeannie Sinnot and Nancy Sato respectively. The 'Cliffe also captured the opening medley relay.
In fact the Crimson's chances for a win look better against Penn than they did against the Tigers because Princeton's crushing 16-2 diving sweep won't be repeated by the Quakers. "That alone will help us," said Gambril.
This weekend's debacle at Ice Station Zebra (Ithaca, N.Y.) prevented the team from returning to Cambridge until late Monday, by which time the meet had begun. "The first diving event started when we were on the subway," said Skip Kenney, assistant coach.
