CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard Women's Swimming and Diving trio of
Isabella Alas,
Stephanie Iannaccone and
Anya Mostek is ready to compete for berths to the 2024 Olympic Games, which are scheduled for Paris, France.
Alas and Iannaccone will swim for El Salvador and Guatemala, respectively, at the Central American and Caribbean Swimming Championships 2024 (CCCAN 2024) in Monterrey, Mexico, while Mostek will appear at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Iannaccone and Mostek will both be in action on June 17, with Iannaccone set for the 200-meter individual medley and the 100m breaststroke. Mostek will swim in the 100-meter backstroke. Iannaccone, however, will be just starting her journey, with the 200m breaststroke (June 18), 200m butterfly (June 19), 50m fly (June 20), 400m IM (June 21) and 100m fly (June 22) all on her docket.
Alas will begin her time at CCCAN 2024 on June 18 in the 50m back. Then in each of the next four days, Alas will compete in the 50m freestyle (June 19), 50m fly (June 20), 100m free (June 21) and 100m fly (June 22).
The Crimson trio's teammate, soon-to-be sophomore
Blythe Wieclawek, competed at the Canadian Olympic Trials in May. Wieclawek reached the B-final of the 100m fly, finishing in fifth place with a time of 1:02.17, which was faster than her prelim effort of 1:02.96. The Ontario native also swam in the prelims of the 50m free (27.23, T-63
rd) and the 100m back (1:04.35, 33
rd).
Alas, Iannaccone and Wieclawek, all of whom are rising sophomores, and Mostek, who will be a junior in 2024-25, are coming off a 2023-24 campaign in which they helped Harvard to a second-place finish at the Ivy League Championships. Mostek, meanwhile, was one of four Crimson athletes to appear at the NCAA Championships, the program's highest total since 2019.
