BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – For the second-straight week, Indiana University's Lilly King and Vini Lanza were named Big Ten Swimmers of the Week, the league office announced on Wednesday. The honor is the third this season for King and the second for Lanza.
At the ACC/Big Ten Challenge this past weekend, King helped the Big Ten squad win, earning two individual victories and two relay wins. The Evansville, Ind. native won the 100 (57.85) and 200 breaststroke (2:06.81) in dominant fashion, posting the fastest times in the nation in both events. The times were also NCAA A cut times.

On the men's side, Lanza was a key part of the Big Ten's victory over the ACC. Lanza won both the 100 (46.06) and 200 butterfly (1:42.67) with the fastest times in the country this season. Both times were also NCAA B cuts.
Lanza also helped the league win both the 200 medley relay (1:24.46) and the 800 freestyle relay (6:18.68) at the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
