FEDERAL WAY, Wash.-
Pietro Ubertalli will get set to compete in the 100- and 200-yard backstroke along with the 200-yard IM at the 2025 NCAA Championships at Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatics Center. Ubertalli will begin with his first slate of preliminary round action on Thursday, March 27 at 1:00 p.m. ET, and could potentially be scheduled to wrap up with his last finals swim on Saturday, March 29 at 9:00 p.m. ET.
Pietro has had a great season. At Ivies he dropped large amounts in all his events, to break 5 school records, including tying the Ivy Meet and League record in the 200 backstroke. That time in the 200 back was a three second drop from his time last year, which placed third at Ivies. Next week, the goal will be to try and make a final swim.", Wes Newman, the Philip H. Bartels '71 Head Coach of Men's Swimming mentioned.
The last swimmer to make nationals from Cornell was Ilya Exdokimov '18, who competed in both the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke as a senior in 2018. The last Cornellian to compete in the 100- and 200-yard backstroke at NCAA's was Coach Wes Newman's teammate, Stefano Caprara '06.
