The meet will run through Saturday, with individual action starting on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Harvard capped the night with a victory in the 800-yard freestyle relay, as the quartet of <strong>Felicia Pasadyn<\/strong>, <strong>Samantha Shelton<\/strong>, <strong>Addie Rose Bullock<\/strong> and <strong>Molly Hamlin<\/strong> combined for a time of 7:06.66. Pasadyn had the top time, leading off in 1:45.31. Hamlin anchored the Crimson in 1:46.04. Yale placed second in 7:08.33, with Penn finishing third in 7:09.91.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meetresults.com\/2022\/ivies\/results.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ivy League Meet Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The leadoff leg of the 800 freestyle relay featured a duel between Thomas and Henig, with Thomas rallying down the last lap to touch in 1:44.50, ahead of the 1:44.65 of Henig. Those were the top splits of the event. Thomas has been the subject of controversy throughout the winter, as she is in her first season competing on the Penn women\u2019s team after transitioning to female. She previously competed for three years as a member of the Penn men\u2019s team.<\/p>\n<p>Although Thomas \u2013 when the season started \u2013 was in accordance with NCAA rules concerning participation by transgender athletes, she was dominant in early-season competition and sparked debate concerning her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/as-ivy-league-champs-approach-conference-and-penn-have-betrayed-women-during-lia-thomas-controversy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">male-puberty advantage<\/a>. At the Ivy League Championships, Thomas was more than two seconds slower than the 1:41.93 effort she posted at the Zippy Invitational. Still, her time was the fastest of the event.<\/p>\n<p>Whether Thomas will race at next month\u2019s NCAA Championships remains to be seen, as she must meet a testosterone threshold of 10 nmols\/L in order to compete. That standard adopted by the NCAA is easier to meet than the 5 nmols\/L required of USA Swimming. The NCAA initially indicated it would abide by USA Swimming guidelines but retreated from that stance. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ivy-league-confirms-lia-thomas-will-be-eligible-to-compete-at-conference-championships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Ivy League has supported Thomas\u2019 participation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While Thomas posted the top time in the 800 free relay, Henig was right with her. Henig is also a transgender athlete, having transitioned to male. Because he has not taken testosterone, Henig is eligible to compete in the women\u2019s championships and helped Yale finish second in both relays contested on Day One of the Ivy League meet.<\/p>\n<p>Princeton won the opening 200 medley relay in 1:38.66, thanks to the combination of <strong>Alexa Pappas<\/strong>, <strong>Vivian Wang<\/strong>, <strong>Nikki Venema<\/strong> and <strong>Christina Bradley<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<pre><b> Event 1  Women 200 Yard Medley Relay<\/b>\r\n==================================================================================\r\n  Meet Record: M 1:37.30  2018      Yale\r\n                          H.Vanderwel, C.O'Leary, M.Zimmerman, B.Hindley\r\n  Pool Record: P 1:37.30  2018      Yale\r\n                          H.Vanderwel, C.O'Leary, M.Zimmerman, B.Hindley\r\n   NCAA A Std: A 1:36.40\r\n   NCAA B Std: B 1:37.05\r\n    School                                 Seed     Finals Points \r\n==================================================================================\r\n  1 Princeton                           1:38.96    1:38.66   64  \r\n     1) Pappas, Alexa FR              2) Wang, Vivian SR              \r\n     3) Venema, Nikki JR              4) Bradley, Christina JR        \r\n                 24.95        53.21 (28.26)\r\n        1:16.25 (23.04)     1:38.66 (22.41)\r\n  2 Yale                                1:37.48    1:38.91   56  \r\n     1) Wagner, Lindsey SO            2) Buckley, Marykate JR         \r\n     3) Pilkinton, Ophelia SO         4) Henig, Iszac JR              \r\n                 25.12        52.83 (27.71)\r\n        1:17.02 (24.19)     1:38.91 (21.89)\r\n  3 Harvard                             1:40.80    1:39.14   54  \r\n     1) Pasadyn, Felicia SR           2) Denisenko, Aleksandra FR     \r\n     3) Carr, Abigail FR              4) Brenner, Mandy FR            \r\n                 25.22        52.97 (27.75)\r\n        1:16.68 (23.71)     1:39.14 (22.46)\r\n  4 Brown                               1:41.71    1:40.22   52  \r\n     1) Reznicek, Jenna FR            2) Willhite, Kellie SO          \r\n     3) Chidley, Nell JR              4) Scott, Samantha SO           \r\n                 24.70        53.39 (28.69)\r\n        1:17.60 (24.21)     1:40.22 (22.62)\r\n  5 Penn                                1:40.31    1:40.33   50  \r\n     1) Kannan, Hannah SR             2) Maizes, Rachel SR            \r\n     3) Chong, Vanessa FR             4) Kaczorowski, Margot JR       \r\n                                  53.43 ( )\r\n        1:17.51 (24.08)     1:40.33 (22.82)\r\n  6 Columbia                            1:42.27    1:42.05   48  \r\n     1) Pruden, Mary SR               2) Walker, Allegra SO           \r\n     3) Wang, Emily SR                4) Arevalo, Isabelle JR         \r\n                 26.29        55.06 (28.77)\r\n        1:19.66 (24.60)     1:42.05 (22.39)\r\n  7 Cornell                             1:44.19    1:43.17   46  \r\n     1) Munoz, Aviva JR               2) Tsai, Sophia FR              \r\n     3) Gruvberger, Anna SO           4) Wongso, Priscilla SO         \r\n                 26.21        55.15 (28.94)\r\n        1:19.92 (24.77)     1:43.17 (23.25)\r\n  8 Dartmouth                           1:46.95    1:44.54   44  \r\n     1) Zhang, Connie JR              2) Zhang, Rachel FR             \r\n     3) Howley, Mary FR               4) Wortzman, Zoe JR             \r\n                 26.36        56.74 (30.38)\r\n        1:21.98 (25.24)     1:44.54 (22.56)\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n<pre><b> Event 2  Women 800 Yard Freestyle Relay<\/b>\r\n==================================================================================\r\n  Meet Record: M 6:59.92  2020      Harvard\r\n                          M.
