BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – No. 3/3 Indiana men's and women's swimming and diving swept its midseason meet, the Ohio State Invitational, as the three-day meet concluded Saturday (Nov. 23) inside the McCorkle Aquatic Center on the campus of the Ohio State University.
Heavily favored coming into the meet, the Indiana men delivered by recording 2,995.5 points – a margin over 500. Indiana women's swim and dive outlasted the host Buckeyes, pulling away on the final day to earn 2,526.5 points over OSU's 2,413.5 total. It was the women's program's first invitational victory since the 2017-18 season.
Indiana has qualified every relay for the 2024 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships, as both the men and women notched NCAA A cuts in each of the five events. The Hoosiers totaled three individual A cuts: senior Anna Peplowski in the 200-yard freestyle (1:42.36), junior Owen McDonald in the 200-yard backstroke (1:38.07) and senior Josh Matheny in the 400-yard freestyle (1:50.31).
McDonald's 200 back time on Saturday re-set his own program record in the event – the junior transfer went 1:38.13 earlier this month in the dual meet versus Texas.
Eleven athletes combined for 18 individual event victories over the three days. Peplowski (500 free, 200 free, 200 back), McDonald (200 IM, 100 back, 200 back) and sophomore Miranda Grana (200 IM, 100 fly, 100 back) starred in the lap pool, winning three events each. Senior and three-time NCAA diving champion Carson Tyler swept the springboard events between the first two days.
