BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana swimming and diving broke four program records and won 19 of 42 events this week at its midseason meet, the Ohio State Invitational, which concluded Friday (Nov. 21) night inside the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion.

Indiana won 10 events on the final night, including sweeps of the 400-yard freestyle relay, 200-yard butterfly and 200-yard backstroke.

Junior Miranda Grana captured her third victory Friday night in the 100-yard backstroke, as the program record holder dropped the school's No. 2 performance in 1:49.06. Grana swept the backstroke events and added a 100-yard butterfly victory. She went a program record 49.98 in the 100-yard butterfly and then 49.89 in the 100-yard backstroke this week to become the fifth woman – and second international swimmer – to break 50 seconds in both events, joining Olympians Claire Curzan, Maggie MacNeil, Regan Smith and Gretchen Walsh.

Zalán Sárkány completed his sweep of the distance events Friday, winning the 1,650-yard freestyle with a 14:23.85, just 2.56 seconds short of his program record time that won the NCAA Championship in March. The senior led a 1-2-3 Hoosier finish, followed by sophomore Luke Whitlock's personal best 14:37.47 and freshman Luke Ellis' 14:45.59 – both out of the slower heats. Sárkány also won the 500 free with a 4:09.57 and posted a program record in the 400 IM, placing third in 3:39.73.

Freshman Liberty Clark captured her second program record of the meet in the 100-yard freestyle, resetting the standard twice Friday. Clark started her day setting the quickest non-relay 100 free in the prelim with a 47.24, then broke the program record outright with a 46.87 to win that individual final. She went even lower as the leadoff of Indiana's 400-yard freestyle relay victory with a 46.83, leading a quartet that set the second-best time in program history with a 3:10.49.

Notably, Clark also went 45.87 as the anchor of Thursday's 400 medley relay, the ninth-best 100 free split in NCAA history. The freshman broke the 50-yard freestyle program record in 21.54 on Tuesday as well.

Andrew Shackell was the lone Indiana freshman to join Clark as an event winner, slashing his personal best in the 200-yard butterfly by 3.03 seconds with a 1:41.26. Shackell also set personal bests in the 200 free (1:34.30), 500 free (4:15.19) and 100 fly (45.93) during his first midseason meet.

A freshman also won a diving event, as Josh Hedberg impressed on platform. The youngster posted a 467.65 prelim list – the sixth-best mark in program history – and only needed a 417.05 to win the final. Sophomore Joshua Sollenberger won the 3-meter springboard the day before, giving IU two victories on the three boards this week.
