200 fly, touching the wall in 1:46.12.
Jones was tabbed to the All-Ivy League first team after helping the
Crimson win the 200 medley relay in a time of 1:27.61 at the Ivy League
Championships. He earned three second-team accolades after finishing
second in the 100 butterfly in 46.12, surpassing the previous Ivy League
record in the event. He also received second-team distinction in the
800 freestyle relay (6:30.96) and the 400 medley relay (3:12.30).
