BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – No. 2/6 Indiana swimming and diving defeated Big Ten rival and No. 13/7 Michigan handily Friday (Jan. 10) inside the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center, posting marks among the best in the nation.

Prior to the meet, Indiana celebrated 28 seniors and eight managers that have contributed to the program over the last five years. The 2025 class, which has won four Big Ten Championships and has never finished below 11th at the NCAA Championships, features nine Olympians, eight NCAA medalists and 17 All-Americans.

"This group has transformed our program," IU head swimming coach Ray Looze said. "We were a good program, but they've elevated us to a national title contender. I think the women are close to that level too, and time will tell.

"They want to leave a legacy that lasts. It's amazing how connected and locked in they are, and they want the program 10 year, 20 years from now, to be at this level."

"It was a great day for our seniors," IU head diving coach Drew Johansen said. "Morgan Casey, Quinn Henninger, Carson Tyler and Skyler all had a great day – Carson especially, in his first platform event since the Olympic Games. Quinn and Morgan delivered some great competitions, while we saved Skyler for Purdue."

The Hoosiers broke three pool records on Friday, marking the first CBAC standards to come down since 2022. Indiana's 200 medley relay quartet – freshman Miroslav Knedla, graduate transfer Brian Benzing, senior Tomer Frankel and junior Matt King – started the meet strong with a 1:22.64. That season-best time beats the NCAA 'A' standard and ranks No. 6 nationally.

Senior Carson Tyler celebrated his final home meet with a dual meet record, posting a 479.50 while diving from platform. Tyler's dives scored 78.30, 84.00, 73.50, 73.95, 83.25 and 86.40 points.

Senior Anna Peplowski and junior Owen McDonald, the reigning Big Ten Swimmer of the Week award winners, maintained their form with sweeps of their individual events.

Peplowski tweaked her program slightly, opting to swim, and win, the 100-yard freestyle (47.68), 200-yard freestyle (1:41.63) and 500-yard freestyle (4:38.56). Her time in the 200 free set the nation's fastest time.

McDonald continued his dominance of the 100-yard backstroke (45.00), 200-yard backstroke (1:39.91), and 200-yard IM (1:42.63). The first-year Hoosier set the national standard in the 200 back as well as the pool record, beating Wisconsin's Andrew Teduits' 1:39.98 from 2013.

In his first collegiate meet since winning the 800-meter freestyle world title in December, junior Zalán Sárkány swept the distance events, winning the 500 free (4:13.75) and 1,000 free (8:43.80).
