Dean Farris stole the show on night three of the 2017 Men’s Ivy League Swimming and Diving Championships. The Harvard freshman posted a time of 1:31.56 in the 200 free, fast enough for an NCAA Automatic cut.
His swim ranks him sixth on the all-time list and is first in the NCAA so far this year.
Not too long after that, Farris was back in the water to set a new meet record in the 100 back, just a hair shy of the A standard.

Harvard’s Farris dominated the 200 free tonight, posting a time of 1:31.56 to lead the field by nearly three seconds.

The previous meet record was set back in 2009 while the former pool record was set by Rowdy Gaines in 1980.
The freshman’s time is an NCAA A standard by nearly one and a half seconds. Coming into his freshman year, Farris’ best time in this event was 1:36.00.
Yale’s Adrian Lin took second in 1:34.25 and Harvard’s Aly Abdel Khalik finished third in 1:36.24.

Not too long after his incredible performance in the 200 free, Farris was back in the pool to claim his second Ivy League title in the 100 back. The rookie led a Harvard sweep of the event in 45.38, good enough for a new meet and pool record. His time was only .01 off the NCAA A standard.
Farris’ teammates Jack Manchester (47.08) and Yakubovich (47.19) completed the top three.

Harvard absolutely dominated the final event of the night, winning the relay by nearly five seconds. The team of Manchester (47.19), McNamara (52.72), Yakubovich (45.61), and Farris (41.46) combined to take the title in 3:06.98.
Their time broke the meet record by 2.5 seconds and the pool record by 4.5 seconds. They were also under the NCAA A standard. Farris’ split of 41.46 in the 100 free would rank him second in the NCAA so far this year behind Caeleb Dressel (40.20) and Michael Chadwick (41.13).
Penn took second in 3:11.80 and Cornell finished third in 3:12.34.
