THURSDAY EVENING HEAT SHEETS

With a gold medal in the 200 medley and a silver in the 800 free relay, Yale got off to a strong start on Day 1 of the 2025 Ivy League Men’s Championships. The Bulldogs continued their pace on Thursday morning, earning a total of 18 spots in finals tonight. They have the number one seed in the 500 free with Noah Millard (4:16.24), the Ivy League meet record holder who went 4:10.62 in 2023. They also have the fastest sprinter, with Nicholas Finch’s 19.23. Princeton’s Mitchell Schott (1:42.72) was the top qualifier in the 200 IM and Aidan Wang led prelims of 1-meter diving.

The 200 free relay will be a thriller, with Yale, Harvard, and Princeton all coming in with four sub-20 sprinters. Doing the math just on prelims this morning, Yale’s four fastest 50 freestylers totaled 78.50 seconds, while Harvard’s added up to 78.64 and Princeton’s, to 78.85.
