100 Freestyle
Sophomore Anze Tavcar placed 24th in the 100 freestyle with a time of 43.01. That is the third-fastest time in Indiana history and gives Tavcar four of the five fastest times in the IU record book.
200 Breaststroke Junior Tanner Kurz was a hair away from making the consolation final of the 200 breaststroke, placing 17th in a time of 1:53.38. That was just 5/100ths of a second off the 16th-place time and a new career best for Kurz by almost a second. Senior Mike Hurley finished 42nd in 1:58.38.
200 Butterfly
Senior Steve Schmuhl capped his Indiana career with a swim of 1:44.16 in the 200 butterfly, good for 29th overall.
400 Freestyle Relay Indiana qualified for the consolation final of the 400 freestyle relay, coming in 14th in the morning swim as Tavcar, freshman Blake Pieroni, freshman Ali Khalafalla and sophomore Sam Lorentz put up a time of 2:52.44. That is the second-fastest time in IU history, just off the school record of 2:51.45 the quartet set at last month's Big Ten Championships.
