The defending Ivy League dual-meet champion Columbia women’s swimming and diving team announced its versatile incoming class for the 2014-15 season, including six swimmers and four divers.
“Caroline [Lukins] and I are very excited about the potential our incoming swimmers bring to Columbia,” said acting head coach Michael Sabala. “We expect them to be bold and to contribute immensely in the classroom, in the community, and at the pool. Gordon [Spencer] has done excellent work to bring in four of the brightest, most talented diving student-athletes in the history of the program. It’s going to be an excellent Columbia career for each of these ten young women.”
