Friday Ups/Mids/Downs Scoring Projection
The third night of racing has arrived at the 2026 Ivy League Men’s Swimming & Diving Championships in Princeton. Tonight’s finals session will feature the fastest heat of the 1000 free, and finals of the 100 fly, 400 IM, 200 free, 100 breast, 100 back, and 400 medley relay. Before the relay, there will be consolation finals of 3-meter diving.
There’ve already been some historically fast swims today, headlined by Yale sophomore Nicholas Finch, who lowered his own 100 fly Ivy League, meet, and program records in prelims by six-hundredths.
It was a great morning for the Princeton Tigers, who claimed 10 ‘A’ final spots–three apiece in the 100 fly and 200 free–and got all five of their divers into the ‘A’ final on 3-meter.
The 100 backstroke was set to be one of the closest races of the entire meet, and it still might be. Going into this week, the top five swimmers in this event were separated by just seven-hundredths. This morning, Columbia senior Isaac Beers led the way and defended his top seed spot with a time of 45.74, crushing his personal best time by nearly one second. Harvard’s Adriano Arioti is ranked #2 in tonight’s final (45.93) and Cornell’s Blake Conway #3 (45.96).
Yale leads the field in the 400 medley relay with a season-best time of 3:07.39, seeded narrowly ahead of Harvard in 2nd (3:08.15) and Princeton in 3rd (3:09.48). This would be an especially important race for Yale to win, as they sit in 2nd place in team standings, 81.5 points behind Princeton.
But first, the session kicks off with the fastest heat of the men’s 1000 freestyle. Stay tuned for live updates below.
