The Women’s Ivy League Swimming and Diving Championships began tonight in Providence, RI, on the campus of Brown University. Eight teams will be vying for the team title over the course of the four-day meet.
Women’s 200 Medley Relay
In a race that came down to a .02 second differential, the Harvard Crimson took the first win of the day. Felicia Pasadyn (24.81), Jaycee Yegher (27.14), Addie Rose Bullock (23.63), and Mei Lynn Colby (22.23) swam a 1:37.81 to defeat Princeton. Yale finished third, followed by Penn, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, and Cornell.
Women’s 800 Free Relay
It was two-for-two with the Harvard women claiming their second win of the night. Miki Dahlke led off in a 1:43.78, shattering that meet record and likely qualifying for NCAAs. She was joined by Samantha Shelton (1:46.20), Kennedy Quist (1:45.27), and Felicia Pasadyn (1:44.67) to claim the victory in 6:59.92, an NCAA “A” qualifying time. Harvard’s time also obliterated the previous meet record by five seconds. Princeton once again took second, followed by Yale, Dartmouth, Columbia, Brown, Cornell, and Penn.
