PROVIDENCE, R.I. – On the final day of the Ivy League Women's Swimming and Diving Championships, freshman Elise Jendritz paced the Big Red, breaking the 3-meter diving school record in prelims and qualifying for the A Final of the event at Brown's Katherine Moran Coleman Aquatics Center in Providence, R.I.

Jendritz's 290.50 points in the finals was good for eighth place, but her point total in prelims made Cornell swimming and diving history. Jendritz' 306.05 points that punched her ticket to the A Final broke the 3-meter diving school record, surpassing Kristin Rayhack's previous mark of 298.00 that she set at the 2006 Ivy League Championships. Jendritz is now the first diver at Cornell to reach the 300-point plateau in the 3-meter diving in the six dive format, and together with Demetra Williams in the 1-meter diving, the pair broke both of the Big Red's diving school records this weekend.

Williams and Jessica Leipman also notched Cornell all-time top-10 marks in the 3-meter diving. Williams qualified for the B Final and finished 15th with 249.90 points, while Leipman qualified for the C Final and placed 18th with 235.00 points. Their marks rank fifth and seventh, respectively, in the Big Red record books.

Laurel Kiselis and Maegan Rudolph led Cornell in the swimming events, both making the cut for the B Final in their respective races. Kiselis won her second B Final of the weekend in the 100-yard freestyle, finishing ninth in 49.97 with the second-fastest time in Big Red history. She was just 0.41 seconds away from setting her second school-record of the weekend, as she downed Cornell's 200-yard freestyle school record yesterday with a time of 1:48.02. Rudolph made the B Final in the 200-yard butterfly, clocking in at 2:00.15 to place 11th.

Melissa Parker and Lexi Schaaf represented the Big Red well in the C Final of those same events. Parker touched the wall in 51.27 in the 100-yard freestyle to finish 22nd, and her preliminary time of 51.03 sits sixth in Cornell history. Schaaf finished 21st in the 200-yard butterfly, recording the seventh-fastest time (2:04.13) at Cornell.

Freshman Alexandra Handlin highlighted three Big Red student-athletes in the C Final of the 200-yard backstroke, placing 19th in 2:02.47. Her time cracked Cornell's all-time top-10 list, coming in at No. 10.

Allison Chang notched a top-20 finish in the 200-yard breaststroke, making the C Final and finishing 19th with a time of 2:18.24. Annaklara Doel was the Big Red's top finisher in the 1,650-yard freestyle, finishing the race in 17:09.24 to place 19th as well.

Just as the Big Red relays have all week, the 400-yard freestyle relay squad of Kiselis, Parker, Schaaf, and Rudolph gave Cornell something to cheer about as the meet came to a close, placing seventh with the second-fastest time in school history (3:23.25). The team's time was just 0.12 off the Cornell school record.

As a team, Cornell finished the meet in eighth place with 543 points. Princeton was crowned the 2020 Ivy League Women's Swimming & Diving Champion with 1,569 points. Harvard (1,462 points) was the runner-up, while Yale finished in third (1,139.50 points).
