INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana University Swim Club's (ISC) Lilly King completed her sweep of breaststroke titles on Friday (June 30) at the Phillips 66 National Championships in front of a home crowd inside the Indiana University Natatorium in Indianapolis.
Â
King won the 100-meter breaststroke in 1:04.75, her first time under 1:05 since Olympic trials in 2021. King was around six tenths of a second from her world record 1:04.13, set at the 2017 World Championships.
Â
Current IU student-athlete Josh Matheny doubled his duties at the Fukuoka 2023 World Aquatics Championships this July, qualifying in the 100-meter breaststroke on Friday with a second-place finish. His 59.20 set a personal best, beating his previous 59.44 set in his long course national title a year ago. Matheny previously qualified for his first senior World Championships in the 200-meter event on Wednesday.
Â
Of Indiana's 10 final swims on Friday, seven were in the 100 breast and six Hoosiers finished top 13 in that event. Like Matheny, ISC's Cody Miller also swam under a minute, going 59.85 to finish fourth. Training Partner Annie Lazor (1:07.77) finished sixth in the women's event, while IU juniors Maxwell Reich (1:00.88) and Jassen Yep (1:01.08) placed 10th and 13th, respectively, for the men.
Â
Breaststroke U completed a dominant week at the long course championships, collecting five world qualifying bids, six medals and 10 top-10 finishes between the three distances.
Â
Saturday (July 1) marks the final day of the Phillips 66 National Championships in Indianapolis. The women's 1,500-meter freestyle, men's 800-yard freestyle, 200-yard individual medley and 50-yard freestyle will be contested on the final day.
