Women’s Swimming and Diving’s Mostek, Janmyr Win League Titles on Final Day of Ivy Championships

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Harvard Women's Swimming and Diving sophomore duo of Anya Mostek and Nina Janmyr won individual Ivy League titles on the final day of the Ivy League Championships at Katherine Moran Coleman Aquatics Center. Mostek captured the 200-back crown, with Janmyr securing the three-meter diving title.
 
Mostek picked up her second Ivy individual title in as many nights, this time capturing the 200 back. The sophomore was in control of the race, but faced a late charge from Princeton's Margaux McDonald. The Ivy 100-back champ, however, maintained her lead and ultimately won the race, posting a time of 1:54.43, which is the third-best time in school history. McDonald, meanwhile, finished in 1:54.58.
 
Janmyr, who claimed the one-meter championship earlier in the week, collected the three-meter gold medal, edging teammate Remi Edvalson, 291.65-290.60. Amy Wotovich made it a clean sweep of the top three spots, finishing in third place with a score of 282.15. The Crimson also had Tabitha Chen-Fiske come in sixth (243.60) and Katie Laverty (217.40) finish in seventh. At the end of the night, Janmyr was named the Rick Gilbert High Point Diver of the Meet.
 
Harvard, as a team, finished in second place with 1,317.5 points behind Princeton and its 1,403 points. Yale (1,069), Brown (1,036) and Penn (863.5) rounded out the top five, with Columbia (727), Cornell (609) and Dartmouth (475) finishing in sixth, seventh and eighth place, respectively. The Crimson has now finished in first or second place at the Ivy meet 21 consecutive times.
