BLOOMINGTON – No. 5/10 Indiana swimming and diving won every event in tri-meet victories over No. 10/18 Auburn and host No. 20/RV Missouri on Wednesday inside the Mizzou Aquatic Center.

Senior Jassen Yep was dominant in his sweep of the breaststroke events. In the 100-yard event, Yep dropped a 52.78, just .78 seconds off his personal-best time set at the 2023 NCAA Championships where he placed 21st nationally. Yep went on to win the 200-yard breaststroke by seven seconds in 1:54.71, close to his 2023 NCAA time of 1:52.39 that finished 17th in the country. Both times Wednesday were well below the new NCAA B-cut standards.

In his first short-course yards meet, freshman Ahmed Hafnaoui swept the distance events. His 8:55.74 in the 1,000-yard freestyle made him the second-fastest performer in program history behind Michael Brinegar, with the sixth-fastest time overall. He earned an NCAA B-cut in the 500 free, going 4:18.62 and setting the 12th-fastest time in the IU record books.

Junior Ching Hwee Gan also swept the distance events for the women. After splitting the fastest 1,000-yard free of anyone in the country last season, her first swim of the new campaign landed at 9:46.26. She just got under the NCAA B-cut line in the 500 free, going 4:46.85.

Indiana diving saw four different Hoosiers win the men's and women's springboard events. Skyler Liu and Anne Fowler finished 1-2 on the 1-meter board before swapping podium positions on the 3-meter. Junior Quinn Henninger and Carson Tyler did the same thing on the men's side. Hoosier divers recorded 12 NCAA Zone Qualifying marks during the meet.

Two-time NCAA Champion and senior Brendan Burns won all three of his events, posting NCAA B-cuts in the 100-yard backstroke (47.17), 200-yard backstroke (1:44.14) and 200-yard butterfly (1:44.80).
