Princeton women’s swimming and diving team won the 2023 Women’s Ivy League Swimming and Diving Championships, securing the team title for the second time in the last three contests. Senior Nikki Venema and freshman Charlotte Martinkus each came away with one more piece of hardware: Venema received the High Point Swimmer of the Meet award for the second time in her career, while Martinkus was named Rick Gilbert High Point Diver of the Meet.

Martinkus won both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events to finish with 64 points for the weekend. Venema won the 50 free on Day 1, 100 fly on Day 2, and 100 free on Day 3, for the highest possible score of 96 points. She also contributed to the first-place 200 medley relay, 800 free, relay, 200 free relay, and 400 free relay. She was a member of the record-breaking relay quartets in the 200 free relay (Ivy League and DeNunzio Pool), 200 medley relay (Ivy League and DeNunzio Pool), and 800 free relay (DeNunzio Pool).
It was the second time Venema won the high point award; as a freshman at the 2020 championships, she won the 50 free, 100 free, and 200 free to share the honor with teammate Ellie Marquardt, who won the 500, 1000, and 1650 free.
Harvard senior Evelyn Geier was named the career high point diver, having scored 122.5 points throughout her Ivy championship career. Teammate Samantha Shelton won the career high point swimmer award with 348 points across four Ivy championship meets.

Very impressed with Princeton’s improvement from last year, and wonder what was up with Harvard this year. Both teams bringing in awesome recruits (fairly evenly stacked overall imo) so will see how things fall next season!
