ATHENS, Ga. – First-team All-America in the most historic way possible. The University of Pennsylvania senior Anna Kalandadze became the latest Quaker to be an All-American, taking home first-team laurels with an Ivy League and program-record time of 15:47.86 in the 1,650-yard freestyle, good enough for fourth in the nation.
 
The previous Ivy record was held by Princeton's Alicia Aemisegger (15:50.60), set back on March 21, 2009.
 
Kalandadze closes her Penn career as a two-time All-American after getting herself a place on the second team in 2023 by finishing 10th.
 
She had an incredible race, shaving just over six seconds off her previous school-record mark (15:53.88) set back in 2023 at Ivy Championships where she won her first title in the mile with an Ivy League meet record time.
 
Sophomore Anna Moehn also competed in the event, placing 33rd with a time of 16:14.74.
