UChicago women's swimming and diving achieved All-UAA distinction in three races and currently sits in third place at the 2017 UAA Swimming and Diving Championships.

Senior Alison Wall was runner-up in the 200-yard freestyle in 1:50.21. The women's 800-yard freestyle relay – sophomore Naomy Grand'Pierre, Wall, senior Cara LoPiano, sophomore Hannah Eastman – was also a second-place finisher in 7:35.45. The women's 200-yard medley relay captured third (1:44.49) with the quartet of junior Melissa Bischoff, sophomore Christina Cheng, freshman Nicole Garcia and senior Maya Scheidl.

  • Maya Scheidl (200-yard freestyle)
  • Women's 200-yard medley relay
