PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The Brown men's swimming & diving team was defeated by host Penn, 215.5-82.5, and Harvard, 226-74, on Saturday at Sheerr Pool in an Ivy tri-meet.

"This double dual meet was a great learning experience for our team," said head coach Chris Ip. "When we come up against two high-powered programs in the Ivy League we need to focus on our short term and intermediate team goals such as staying firm with our race plans and not deviating towards other programs that we can control. This is imperative to our finding success in the second half of the season. We look forward to our next racing opportunity in our dual meet against Columbia on January 21."

The 200 medley relay team of sophomore William Steele (Katy, Texas), sophomore Waylon Jin (Berwyn, Pa.), freshman Joon Sung (Los Angeles, Calif.) and freshman Cody Cline (Wellington, Fla.) finished second with a time of 1:31.75.

Cline (20.80) and senior Daniel Klotz (Berlin, Conn.) (20.94) both dipped under the 21 second barrier in the 50 freestyle with Cline placing fourth against Harvard and second versus Penn. Cline finished fifth against both teams. Cline (46.50) turned in a third-place finish in the 100 freestyle followed closely by freshman Jagger Stephens (Agana Heights, Hagatna, Guam) (46.64) and Charles Steele (Katy, Texas) (47.13) who went 4-5.

W. Steele finished third overall with a time of 49.81 in the 100 butterfly. Klotz (50.66) and Sung (50.76) followed in fourth and fifth, respectively.
