Harvard's Miki Dahlke outclassed the field with her 1:43.78 leadoff leg from the Crimson's victorious 800 free relay.

The Women’s Ivy League Swimming and Diving Championships began tonight in Providence, RI, on the campus of Brown University. Eight teams will be vying for the team title over the course of the four-day meet.

It was two-for-two with the Harvard women claiming their second win of the night. Miki Dahlke  led off in a 1:43.78, shattering that meet record and likely qualifying for NCAAs.
