Columbia hosted Dartmouth both teams’ final dual of the season, less than 2 weeks before the start of the women’s Ivy League Championship on Febraury 14-17th. The Lions were victoriuos in both the men’s and women’s meets, swimming the last few events exhibition (not for points). Columbia also broke 3 Uris pool records over the course of the meet.
Jonathan Suckow broke the Columbia 3 meter diving record for the 4th time this season, scoring 437.25 compared to his previous high score of 430.35 and his pool record of 425.85. He also won the 1 meter with a score of 381.16, completing an undefeated season on the boards in Ivy League competition. Moreover, with Suckow’s wins in this meet, Columbia has now completed its 4th consecutive undefeated season in diving in Ivy League dual meets.
Many Columbia and Dartmouth women are starting to look sharper as the conference championships close in. The Columbia women broke Uris Pool records in the 100 free and 200 free relay.
Mary Ashby, a Columbia junior, broke the pool record with her win in the 100. Ashby, who went about 52-point in most dual meets this season, finished in 49.81. Ashby finished 4th at the Ivy League Champs last year. Ashby then led off the 200 free relay, which swam exhibition and broke the pool record. Ashby split a 23.19 to lead off that relay followed by Susie Zhu (22.96), Jessica Antiles (23.35), and Kate O’Rourke (22.88), who combined to post Columbia’s 2nd fastest time of the season at 1:32.38.
Columbia’s women also threw down a fast 200 medley relay, posting their fastest time of the season at 1:41.40. Jessica Antiles posted a speedy 27.94 on the breaststroke leg of the relay.
Hayley Winter won the distance events, posting her dual meet season bests of 5:01.79 in the 500, and 10:15.10 in the 1000. Her time in the 1000 comes in 10th in the Ivy League rankings this season.
Columbia spread their men’s 200 medley relays out, with the ‘C’ relay taking the event at 1:32.65. If you were to add up the fastest splits from their relays (Stevens – 22.93, Park – 25.16, Frifeldt – 20.96, Gwo – 20.02) they would have gone 1:29.07.
Jae Park posted a season best of 54.68 in the 100 breast, although he swam exhibition, so he did not officially win the race. That time is 3rd in the Ivy League this season, and just off his lifetime best of 54.38.
