The Ivy League dual-meet season has officially started, which means one of the most interesting parts of the college swimming season is upon us: the Ivy League Dual Meet Championship.
In the Ivy League, the in-conference dual meet record is placed on a pedestal. All the Ivy League teams will compete in a dual-meet at some point during the season, and the team that finishes with the best record is the Ivy League Dual Meet Champion.
This format allows multiple teams to earn titles during the season, and the coaches of these programs earn bonuses for winning the regular season title. It also helps make swimming programs valuable in the eyes of athletic departments, which can help keep programs from being cut.
Last season, Princeton won both the men’s and women’s Dual Meet Championship, as well as the conference championship meet in February. This is not always the case, though. In 2025, the Princeton men won both, but the Harvard women won the Dual Meet Championship while the Princeton women won the Ivy League.

Harvard vs Cornell vs Penn
Women’s Results Men’s ResultsThe Penn women and the Harvard men swept the meets at the Cornell pool, with the Penn women taking down Harvard and Cornell and the Harvard men beating Penn and Cornell.
The Harvard women and the Penn men also picked up wins against Cornell.
The Penn women’s victory over Harvard marks the first time the Quakers have won a dual meet since the 2002-2003 season. There were also two pool records broken courtesy of Kate Levensten‘s 1:55.13 in the 200 backstroke and Kayla Fu‘s 52.75 in the 100 butterfly.
The Harvard women also broke a pool record in the 200 medley relay with Kiley Wilhelm (25.65), Aliana Marakovic (27.52), Isabella Alas (24.26), and Blythe Wieclawek (21.86) swimming 1:39.29.
Carolina Daher won the 200 free in a pool record 1:46.47 for Harvard.
The Harvard men also took down a few pool records in Ithaca. William Mulgrew swam 9:01.24 in the men’s 1000 freestyle to set the first record of the day. Mulgrew also broke the 500 free record, stopping the clock in 4:23.47.
In the 50 free, Sonny Wang swam 19.35 to pick up another record for the Crimson.
Cornell senior Blake Conway won both backstroke events, swimming 47.98 in the 100 back and 1:46.03 in the 200 backstroke.
Yale vs Brown
ResultsThe Yale men and the Brown women won their dual meets to open the Ivy season. This marked the first meet for new Brown women’s head coach Mitch Dalton, who joined the program from the University of Texas over the summer.
The Brown women won most of the individual events with Yale only taking five individual events during the meet. One of the most notable things about the Brown women’s victory is that none of their individual event winners won multiple events. They had a few 1-2 finishes, but no multi-event winners, pointing to the depth of the team.
The Yale women had Siri Vanderlinden set the top time in both the 200 free (1:45.78) and the 500 free (4:48.10).
The Yale men won most of the individual events, and they were led by senior Charlie Egeland, who set the top time in the 100 breast (52.32) and 200 breast (1:53.52). His 200 breast was a new personal best time and Yale team record in the event.
Dartmouth vs Princeton vs Columbia
Women’s Results Men’s ResultsThe Princeton men and women won both dual meets against Dartmouth and Columbia. The Columbia men and women both won over Dartmouth.
Princeton took down multiple pool records on the women’s side. In the 200 freestyle, Savannah Skow stopped the clock in 1:46.64 to set the first pool record of the day. She also took down the pool record in the 100 fly with her 53.16.
In the 50 free, Veronique Russouw swam 22.71, and Dakota Tucker swam 4:49.44 in the 500 free, both for pool records.

The Princeton men were led by senior Arthur Balva, who set the top times in the 500 free (4:23.43) and 200 fly (1:45.18).
