Along with Finnerty’s 2018 win, the last time a Hoosier won the 100 breast was in 1969 by Don McKenzie. Finnerty is also the 8th multi-winner in the same event in Hoosier history, joining elite names like Mark Spitz and Gary Hall.

Congratulations Ian!
So very weird seeing Dressel ahead of Cordes on these lists. Does. Not. Compute.
For all the hype Reece gets…. fellow freshman McHugh is faster…
Reece and Max battled for the 100 breast NAG last year since then Max has dropped 1.3 seconds and Whitley dropped 0.05 and is swimming it very different. Hopefully he’ll still be a threat in the 200
Whitley is more of a 200 breaststroker though
he got lucky that Dean had to rest for the 100 back….
