Nguyen Claims Second Gold as Quakers Wrap Up Ivy League Championships

**PRINCETON, N.J. – **The University of Pennsylvania wrapped up competition at the Ivy League Championships, placing eighth out of the eight teams competing with 677.5 points.

The highlight of the night for the Quakers, once again, was sophomore

Watson Nguyen. For the second night in a row, Nguyen claimed the gold in a breast event, this time in the 200 breast with a 1:52.03. A near photo-finish behind him was junior

Peter Whittington, who placed second with a 1:52.10.
