Demirkan Demir tabbed Academic All-Ivy
BOSTON, Mass – Following the completion of the 2024 Men's Swimming and Diving Ivy League Championships last weekend, Demirkan Demir, along with the Lions' 400-medley relay squad, received recognition from the Ivy League.
The 400-medley relay team was named Second Team All-Ivy after an impressive second-place finish in the event. The squad consisted of Isaac Beers (47.00), Demir (51.84), Brian Lee (46.26), and Zion James (42.24), who combined for a time of 3:07.34 to win the silver medal. This mark also set a new Columbia program record.
In addition, Demir was named to the 2023-24 Academic All-Ivy Team. While excelling in the classroom so far this year, Demir also had an impressive showing at Ivies winning bronze medals in both the 100-breast and 200-breast to go along with his silver medal in the 400-medley relay.
Columbia finished in sixth place at last weekend's Ivy League Championships, and a recap of all the best highlights and individual performances can be found HERE.
Up next for Columbia will be the NCAA Zone Diving Championships being held at Princeton University from March 11-16.
