Yale Athletics

From the first whistle of the season to the final dive, Yale women’s swim and dive dominated in the pool. After a nearly undefeated season, the Bulldogs took home third place at the Ivy Championships — as they have in each of the past four years — and shattered several team records along the way. 

Mabel Koff ’28 set a new pool and school record in the 200-yard backstroke with her home win in the Harvard-Yale-Princeton meet. The 200-yard medley quartet of captain Quinn Murphy ’25, Jessey Li ’26, Alex Massey ’25 and Sara Plunkett ’27 set a new school record with their time of 1:37.19 at the Ivy League Championships in February.

The last four years have been a strong run for the Bulldogs, with several top performances by swimmers in the class of 2025. At the 2023 Ivy Championships, Massey and Junseo Kim ’25 finished in second and seventh place, respectively, in the 200-yard butterfly, while Murphy placed sixth in the 200-yard backstroke. As a team, Yale maintained a perfect record in regular season meets during the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons and won all but one meet in the subsequent two seasons.
