Stanford swimmer Levenia Sim suffered a shoulder injury at the SEA Games that forced her last minute withdraw from the 400 medley relay, according to the StraitsTimes.
Sim, who represents Singapore internationally, was injured during warmups on December 15, leading to a ‘frantic scramble,’ ST reports. That forced 14-year-old Julia Yeo to scramble into her backstroke leg, splitting 1:04.79 to lead off the relay for a gold medal and new Games Record of 4:05.79.
Individually, Sim raced the 50 back, finishing 7th in 29.86, and the 100 back, finishing 5th in 1:02.97.
Raised in Alabama, Sim, whose older sister Letitia is also a Singapore international, has long been a member of the Singapore National Team. She was the #4-ranked domestic recruit in the high school class of 2024.
Sim is a key member of the Stanford team. At the mid-season Texas Hall of Fame Invitational, she swam season-bests of 52.25 in the 100 back and 52.80 in the 100 fly. She also swam the leadoff legs of Stanford’s “A” 200 medley and “B” 400 medley relay. The Cardinal finished 1st and 2nd, even ahead of Texas, in the 400 medley relay.
Torri Huske is the team’s best backstroker, but also the team’s best sprint freestyler and butterflier. If Sim were to miss any significant time, that would likely leave 200 medley relay duties likely to fall to talented freshman Alana Berlin, who has been faster than Sim in the 100 back (51.86) but was slower at the Texas Invite in the 50 back (24.44 vs. 24.06).
In her debut season with the Cardinal last year, Sim swam the backstroke leg on the team’s 200 medley relay and individually finished 15th in the 100 back, 22nd in the 200 back, and 32nd in the 200 IM at the ACC Championships. She was not on the team’s NCAA Championship roster. Her best time in the 100 yard back of 51.03 was done in 2021 she she was only 14.
SwimSwam has reached out to Stanford for more information about Sim’s injury status and availability for the spring semester.
