On Saturday, March 15th, the SwimRI team had a strong showing in the distance events and edged out Cambridge Masters for an early lead in the overall team points competition following Day One of the New England LMSC Short Course Yards Championships at Harvard University. With 53 more events next weekend, March 21st-23rd, the team points title could very well come down to Sunday relays!
