BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – No. 6/9 Indiana men's and women's swimming and diving each improved to 6-0 in dual meets this season with dominant performances Saturday (Jan. 27) against Purdue.

IU swimming and diving celebrated 14 seniors during a ceremony before the meet: Warren Briggs, Elizabeth Broshears, Brendan Burns, Billy Cruz, Tristan DeWitt, Anna Freed, Anne Fowler, Catherine Graham, Logan Graham, Maxwell Reich, Ella Ristic, Mia Ristic, Ashley Turak and Armando Vegas. Eight of those seniors tallied victories Saturday.

"Our seniors and our fifth-years were just spectacular today," IU head swimming coach Ray Looze said. "They really led the way. They set the tone, and we did what we were supposed to do today. We have two very tough competitions coming up next Friday, so we're going to have to lay this one to bed and get ready for what I think are two top-10 teams coming in here next week."

Indiana had the top three finishers in 10 events; the women's 100 freestyle, 200 freestyle, 100 butterfly, 200 butterfly, and the men's 50 freestyle, 500 freestyle, 100 breaststroke, 200 breaststroke, 100 butterfly and 200 IM.

The Hoosiers swept the women's diving events as the 1-meter springboard and platform events were contested. Junior Skyler Liu won the platform event with a 378.60 score, while Fowler earned her victory on 1-meter. Fowler also dove off the 3-meter board in exhibition and scored 415.58 points – 16 points better than IU's dual meet record. Sophomore Maxwell Weinrich had a notable performance on platform, earning scores of 10 and a 9.5 on his third dive, a forward 3 1/2 somersault pike, for a total of 87.75. He would finish second in the event, totaling 439.80 points.

"I'm really happy with how the kids did today," assistant diving coach Eric Best said. "Skyler was great, winning the platform, and then of course Anne winning 1-meter and then when she dove 3-meter – that's a school record. So, that was a great performance for her, and we filled in all of our zone cuts for platform, so now everybody's qualified on everything. That's a big deal. It's nice to get that done.

"Obviously, Anne Fowler was spectacular," Looze said. "It really couldn't happen to a nicer person. She's spent so many hours behind the scenes developing and leading her team of divers that it's just nice to see her get a little recognition by a performance like that, and I'm super excited about what she's going to do at Big Tens and NCAAs down the line.

"Maxwell was great on 10-meter – any meet you get a 10 in is always a great meet. Will [Jansen] lit it up. That's a personal best for Will on 1-meter."
