DAY 4
It’s the final day of the 2025 Ivy League Championships. This morning’s prelims session features all three stroke 200s and the 100 freestyle. Princeton ended day 3 with 90.5 points over Harvard, and the window is narrowing for the Crimson to close the gap. The Tigers are helped by their three top seeds this morning: Sabrina Johnston in the 100 free, Dakota Tucker in the 200 breast, and Heidi Smithwick in the 200 fly.
Yale’s Mabel Koffis the top seed in the 200 back. The Bulldogs are in a tight race with Brown for 3rd as they are currently separated by just eight points.

In the only non-circle seeded heat of the morning, Dartmouth’s Ekin Okudur hit a huge personal best to top the three-athlete field. Okudur clocked 2:01.89 to knock over three seconds off her best from a tri-meet last November.
Yale’s Quinn Murphy shot out to an early lead in the first circle seeded heat (56.17), but couldn’t quite carry her speed through the second half. That allowed Isabella Korbly (Princeton) to descend her final 100 (29.47/29.30) and pull past Murphy for the win (1:55.83). Murphy lowered her seed time by about half a second (1:56.15).
It looked like Kate Levensten (Penn) had the penultimate heat locked up, but like we saw in heat 2, Anya Mostek showed strong closing speed to just eke past her, 1:56.26 to 1:56.37. Mostek is the defending champion in the event and broke the 100 back league record last night, so it stands to reason she has more to give in the final.
In the final heat, Molly Hamlin (Harvard), Mabel Koff (Yale), and Alex Massey (Yale) all lunged for the finish at the same time. Hamlin stopped the clock first, establishing the top time of the morning (1:54.84). Koff and Massey will swim in lanes 3 and 5 tonight.
