FOUR HOOSIERS EARN BIG TEN WEEKLY AWARDS
Indiana swept both the Big Ten Swimmer of the Week and the Diver of the Week awards for the January 8 cycle, winning four of the six available weekly awards, after splitting its dual meet at No. 4/4 Florida last Friday.
Junior Owen McDonald captured his third Big Ten Swimmer of the Week award this season after sweeping his individual events (100 back, 200 back, 200 IM) in the men’s victory. Senior Anna Peplowski also swept her events (100 free, 200 free, 200 IM) and posted the meet’s fastest split in the 400-yard freestyle relay.
On the boards, senior Carson Tyler earned his seventh-career Big Ten weekly award as the men’s diver of the week. Tyler finished first on 1-meter (425.33) and second on 3-meter (385.43) in 1-2 finishes with teammate Quinn Henninger. A first-time weekly award winner, sophomore Ella Roselli won the women’s 1-meter event (297.53) and then took third on 3-meter (324.53).
SWIMMING SUCCESS AT SHORT COURSE WORLDS
Ten athletes and coaches with ties to the Indiana swimming and diving program – nine members of the active roster – participated in the 2024 World Aquatics Championships (25m) in Budapest, Hungary. Together, the athletes combined for two world championships, five medals and 13 national records during the early-December meet.
In a meet that saw 30 world records go down, it was perhaps Zalán Sárkány that received the greatest roar from his hometown Budapest crowd. Sárkány sent the Duna Arena into a frenzy when he touched first in the men’s 800-meter freestyle, Hungary’s first of two world titles at the meet. The reigning NCAA Champion in the 1,650-yard freestyle, Sárkány’s performance marked his first world championship as well as a national record with a time of 7:30.56.
