For women's swimming and diving, the 2001 Ivy Championship meet was highlighted by one thing: outstanding performances by the team's captains and seniors.

"Our success really speaks to the strength of the senior class," captain Angie Peluse said. "We are all really proud of our accomplishments as a group."

All five of the seniors swimming for the Crimson (3-4, 3-4 Ivy) recorded at least one personal best time, and both senior divers reached the finals in one event.

Leading Harvard's charge was captain Pia Chock. Chock was the only Crimson athlete to qualify for the championship finals in three events.

Chock finished 6th in the 100-yard butterfly (56.82, 55.68 prelim), 7th in the 200-yard freestyle (1:52.15, 1:50.74 prelim), and 3rd in the 200-yard fly in a new team record of 2:01.98.

At the beginning of the season, the record belonged to sophomore Lovisa Gustafsson. Chock broke Gustafsson's record in November, but sophomore Kate Nadeau shattered Chock's record three weeks ago at Harvard-Yale-Princeton weekend.

The record is once again back in Chock's hands.

"I'm so glad I swam a best time," Chock said. "It was great to get the record; it was a great way to end my Harvard swimming career."
