Upperclassmen Find Individual Success as Columbia Falls to Princeton

Mary Pruden and Olivia Jubin finish first in pair of individual events.

Princeton, NJ -- Senior captain Mary Pruden swam for first in the 100 backstroke as Columbia fell to cross-Hudson rival Princeton, 99-189, at DeNunzio Pool. Pruden also collected a second place result in the 300 IM, behind three-time Ivy League Champion Ellie Marquardt.

Junior Olivia Jubin found continued success against the Tigers with a first place finish in the 100 IM (56.69). Senior Emily Wang completed the 50 free (24.98), fractions of a second behind Princeton sophomore Nathalie Valdman (24.53).

Columbia claimed the second through fifth places finishes in the 100 freestyle. Sophomore Aziza Ganihanova touched the wall in second place (52.04), followed junior Tina Le (53.28), first-year Allison Martin (53.43), and classmate Aniston Eyre (54.12). Le produced four more points for the Lions in the 100 breast (1:05.46).

The Lions wrapped up Friday's competition with a victory in the 200 free relay. Junior Isabelle Arevalo swam the lead-off leg (23.38) before giving way to rookie Emily MacDonald who swam the fastest 50 yards of the heat (22.98). Wang raced the third leg (23.28) before Eye brought the win home (24.22).

Rookie Macy Pine marked the return of Columbia's divers to competition, competing in the three meter (235.05) and platform (exhibition, 247.20) events.

"Macy was spectacular on the platform today and secured a spot at the NCAA Zone meet in her third event after previously qualifying off the one and three meter springboards," noted Head Dive Coach Scott Donie. "Macy earning this zone-qualifying mark today is extra impressive as the divers have been unable to train platform consistently due to COVID-19. I am really impressed by her performance."
