Swimming & Diving
Columbia alum Katie Meili, the 2012 Ivy League Women's Swimming & Diving Most Outstanding Performer of the Meet, advanced to the finals of her signature event, the 100m breaststroke. Meili clocked 1:06.00 to win her prelim heat Sunday morning, and then tied for third in her semifinal heat with a time of 1:06.52, good for fifth overall and sending her to the finals Monday night.
Rowing
A number of Ivies were set to row Sunday morning, but wind conditions on the Olympic Rowing Course on Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas forced the postponement of Sunday’s race schedule. Monday’s schedule has now been rearranged to accommodate all of Sunday’s original schedule, as well as the heats for the men’s and women’s eights and the repechages for the men’s and women’s quad. For the Ivies, this means Brown alum Anders Weiss (USA men's pair, repechage), Harvard's Brendan Hodge (Canada lightweight four, repechage), Harvard's Andrew Campbell and Dartmouth's Joshua Konieczny (US men's double sculls, prelims) and Princeton's Kate Bertko (US women's double sculls, prelims) will all race Monday morning.
Cycling Former Dartmouth women's tennis standout Evelyn Stevens, racing in the women's cycling road race for Team USA, finished 12th out of 68 competitors, 1:16 behind the winner, Anna van der Bergen from the Netherlands.
