BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – No. 6-ranked Indiana women's swimming and diving has its sights set on the 2024 Big Ten Women's Swimming and Diving Championships, running Wednesday (Feb. 21) through Saturday (Feb. 24) inside the Morgan J. Burke Aquatic Center on the campus of Purdue University.
IU is the highest-ranked team coming into the meet, ahead of No. 8 Ohio State, No. 14 Wisconsin, No. 16 Michigan and No. 23 Minnesota. The Hoosiers completed an undefeated 8-0 dual meet schedule, punctuated by two victories in its tri-meet with Wisconsin and Louisville February 2.
The event begins Wednesday evening with the first set of finals in the 200-yard medley relay and 800-yard freestyle relay. The following three days will consist of two sessions, with preliminaries in the morning to determine final seeding for the evening session. All seven sessions can be streamed on the Big Ten Plus digital platform.
"Our women's swimmers have had an outstanding season of preparation," IU head swimming coach Ray Looze said. "It's hard for me to remember a group that's stronger, fitter or more mentally tough than this group. Furthermore, they have a high degree of belief in each other. We're looking forward to a very fun and exciting Big Ten championships."
"We're looking forward to the Big Ten Women's Championships," IU head diving coach Drew Johansen said. "Our women's diving team is coming off a great dual meet season.
"This year's team has a great balance of experience and new talent. Upperclassmen Anne Fowler, Skyler Liu and Morgan Casey will be leading the team with two talented freshman Lily Witte and Ella Roselli having their first go in the Big Ten. I can't wait to see how this combination will perform."
