No doubt about it: Women's swimmingBy Albert Chen Brown was the best team during the regular season, and was tops again when it really mattered. For the first time ever, the Ivy crown was granted to the winner of the Ivy League Championships, which were held between Fri., Feb. 27 and Sun., Mar. 1, instead of the team with the best season record. The Bears left no doubt they were the top squad in 1997-98; during the regular season, they amassed a 7-0 mark, and took the crown during the weekend competition by scorching the rest of the field. Brown placed 121 points ahead of runner-up Harvard. The new format gave schools hope going into the championship. After the first day of competition, Princeton led Brown by a point. In the second day, the Bears jumped out to a 100-point lead and never looked back.
