2025 Ivy League Women: Day 3 Up/Mid/Downs – Tigers Are Keeping the Pressure On

2025 Ivy League Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships

FRIDAY NIGHT HEAT SHEETS

For those unfamiliar with swimming terminology, the concept of “Ups” and “Downs” is a good way to track which teams performed best at prelims. In prelims, swimmers qualify for one of three finals heats: the top 8 finishers make the A final, places 9 through 16 the B final and places 17 through 24 the C final. In finals, swimmers are locked into their respective final, meaning a swimmer in the B heat (spots 9-16) can only place as high as 9th or as low as 16th, even if they put up the fastest or slowest time of any heat in the final.

With that in mind, we’ll be tracking “Ups,” “Mids” and “Downs” after each prelims session. “Up” refers to swimmers and divers in the A final, “Mid” to B finalists, and “Down” to C finalists.

Princeton was about 16 points ahead of pace, and managed to earn 17 final spots, of which 12 were “A” finals. Harvard performed about as expected, and will have 15 swimmers in tonight’s session; 10 of those will be in “A” finals. Moreover, Harvard is top seed in the 400 medley relay.

It was a tough morning for Brown and Cornell, both of whom were off some 46 points.
