CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard Women's Swimming and Diving is scheduled to compete at the Ivy League Championships this week at Brown. The four-day event is slated for Wednesday, Feb. 18-Saturday, Feb. 21, at the Bears' Katherine Moran Coleman Aquatics Center.

Wednesday's competition is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. ET with timed finals of the 200 medley relay and 800 free relay. The action on Thursday-Saturday will begin at 11 a.m. ET with preliminary heats and will be followed by a 6 p.m. ET finals session. All sessions will air live on ESPN+.

What to Know
  • The Crimson returns to the pool deck for the first time since splitting the annual HYP (Harvard-Yale-Princeton) meet, which took place Jan. 30-31 at Blodgett Pool. Harvard earned a 207-93 victory over the Bulldogs but fell in a tight 160.5-139.5 decision to the Tigers.
  • Over the two-day HYP meet, the Crimson delivered several standout performances. Anya Mostek broke the Blodgett Pool record in the 100 back with a time of 52.34, which also ranks as the top time in the Ivy League this season. The quartet of Mostek, Aliana Marakovic, Sydney Lu, and Kiley Wilhelm clocked a 1:37.77 in the 200 medley relay, the fastest time in the Ivy League this season. Alexandra Bastone set a new Ivy League season-best in the 1,000 free (9:38.94). Nina Janmyr dominated on the boards, securing first place in the three-meter competition with 335.40 points.
  • The Crimson closed out the regular season with a 9-1 overall record and a 6-1 mark in Ivy League competition.
  • Following HYP, Harvard was named a CSCAA Scholar All-America Team for the Fall 2025 semester. The Crimson posted a 3.62 term GPA.
  • Harvard enters the Ivy meet seeking its first conference title since 2022. The Crimson finished second last season with 1,287.5 points, falling to Princeton (1,479) in Princeton, New Jersey.
  • The Crimson will look to defend its Ivy League titles in the 100 back (Mostek), 200 back (Molly Hamlin), 100 fly (Lu), 100 breast (Aleksandra Denisenko), 200 free (Bastone), 500 free (Bastone), 1,650 free (Bastone), 200 medley relay (Mostek, Denisenko, Lu, Wieclawek), and 400 medley relay (Mostek, Denisenko, Lu, and Mandy Brenner). Bastone enters as the co-reigning High Point Swimmer of the Meet alongside Princeton's Eleanor Sun.
  • Harvard owns 15 Ivy League titles, including eight since the conference began crowning champions at the league meet (1977–82, 1997–present). Those eight titles came in 2005, 2009, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2022.
  • The Crimson has finished first or second at the Ivy Championships in 22 consecutive seasons.
