After a five-year winning streak at the Ivy League Championships, Princeton will just have to get used to being No. 2 as the Harvard women’s swimming team knocked off the perennial power this weekend.

“I think for us to do that it made it even more incredible,” freshman Bridget O’Connor said. “I feel like with any sport when you have a rival its great to beat them finally. They have won for so long. I think that it just feels great to have a perfect season, it was amazing.”

After three long days of competition, Harvard (10-0, 7-0 Ivy) took the Ivy Championship for the first time since 1992 by a 226-point margin over the Tigers, who had to be satisfied with a second-place finish.

“It was really exciting,” sophomore Noelle Bassi said. “We pushed [head coach Stephanie Wriede-Morawski] in and we were all jumping up and down and hugging each other.”

After winning three events on Day One but dropping to second place in the standings after a disqualification in one, the Crimson came back strong and over the next two days of competition won six of the final 15 events.

The most impressive finish of the meet was the one-two-three finish that Harvard secured in the 1,000-yard freestyle. Sophomores Stacy and Kelly Blondin finished in first and second place while classmate Laurin Weisenthal finished right behind in third.

“Last year they swam completely different events and this year they started swimming distance and it has worked out really well for them,” Bassi said. “They just found the events they are supposed to be swimming.”

Stacy and Kelly Blondin also finished first and second, respectively, in the 1650-yard freestyle with provisional NCAA championship-qualifying times and were followed by sophomore Emily Wilson in fourth.

The only other person to have two first-place finishes in the meet was Bassi, who posted several provisional NCAA qualifying times.

Bassi finished first in the 400-yard IM and setting her second school record of the meet with a time of 4:18.86. She was followed by junior Jane Evans who came in second.

“It was exciting mostly,” Bassi said. “[Pangilinan and I] weren’t focused on breaking the records but more on winning the event and getting the points for the team.”

Bassi also won the first place points in the 200-yard butterfly followed by Evans in fourth.

But Bassi wasn’t the only Crimson swimmer to break a school record. Freshman Jackie Pangilinan broke an 11-year-old record in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:03.65.

“[Bassi and Pangilinan] both trained so hard all year long and there couldn’t have been two other people that I could have been so happy for,” O’Conner said. “They deserve it so much.”

But Pangilinan’s stand out performance was only good for a second-place finish followed by freshman Meghan Colling who took fourth.
