Columbia senior David Jalk pulled off an improbable triple at the 2015 Ivy League Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships by winning the 100 fly, 100 back (with a meet record), and 100 free. Having finished second in multiple events over his Ivy career, Jakl came into his final conference meet with a battle plan. SwimSwam’s Anne Lepesant sat down with him at the conclusion of the meet to get his thoughts about the weekend.

Top scorers like Jakl and Quinn can lead the team, but it’s really the lower ranked scorers (swimmers 10-17) that have the biggest impact depending on whether they can pull in 10 points or 40 points (e.g. in 2013 Princeton won despite Harvard having the top scorers because their bottom 6 or so guys pulled in 10-20 points more than Harvard’s). So despite losing these two, I’m sure Columbia will retain or develop those crucial swimmers.
