Princeton senior Mitchell Schott broke the Ivy League, Ivy League Championship Meet, DeNunzio Pool, and Princeton program record in the 200 IM, clocking a 1:40.93 in the final on Thursday night. All four of those marks had previously belonged to Princeton’s Raunak Khosla, and he was on hand to hand out the medals.

Schott led from start to finish, splitting 21.93 on the fly, 24.70 on the back, 30.35 on the breast, and 23.95 on the free. His 1:40.93 automatically qualifies him for the 2026 NCAA Championships and makes him one of less than a dozen swimmers in the NCAA to have swum under 1:41 so far this season.

Schott qualified for the 2025 NCAAs in the 200 IM with 1:41.44, his winning time at last year’s Ivy Championships. He went on to swim 1:42.01 in prelims for a 17th-place finish, missing the ‘B’ final by a mere .28.

Most of his improvement came in the backstroke, where he was .63 faster than he had been last year.

A simple “Thanks for the article! Noticed this one correction to be made:” would have done just fine my friend. Accuracy is important, and so is empathy.

I think part of my question regarding AI was based on the fact that not only was the chart labeled incorrectly, but the text commented on a specific leg of the race (incorrectly).

Unfortunately in 2026 a mistake that simple is more likely attributed to AI than a seasoned swimming journalist.
