LOUISVILLE, Ky. – No. 2/6 Indiana swimming and diving split its final dual meet at No. 11/10 Louisville Friday (Jan. 31) inside the Ralph Wright Natatorium.

The Hoosier men handled Louisville, 189.5-110.5, winning all but three events. Indiana improved to 5-1 in dual meets entering championship season. The IU women fell to the Cardinals for the first time in three years while missing multiple members of its squad.

Indiana broke six Ralph Wright Natatorium pool records, starting with the men's 200-yard medley relay. Freshman Miroslav Knedla, graduate transfer Brian Benzing, senior Finn Brooks and junior Matt King won the opening race in 1:23.74 and updated the signage.

Junior Zalán Sárkány won and set pool records in both distance events. The reigning NCAA Champion in the 1,650-yard freestyle went 8:43.28 in the 1,000 free, to win by 21 seconds,
and 4:15.60 in the 500 free, winning with a six-second margin.

Senior Anna Peplowski's 1:42.41 in the women's 200-yard freestyle beat both the previous pool record and the NCAA A cut standard. Earlier this month, Peplowski set the nation's leading time in the event with a 1:41.63, which still stands. Peplowski swept her individual events, also winning the 100 free (47.68), in a close race, as well as the 500 free (4:39.26).

Senior Kacey McKenna led a one-two Hoosier finish in the 100-yard backstroke with a pool record 52.05, out-touching junior teammate Mya DeWitt (52.24).

Indiana flexed its muscles in the men's diving events, earning the top three spots in each competition. Senior Quinn Henninger top both leaderboards, winning the 1-meter with a 420.45 and the 3-meter with a 443.18. Freshman Joshua Sollenberger placed second on the 1-meter board with a score of 373.50, just ahead of senior Carson Tyler's 358.05. Tyler was runner-up on 3-meter with a 396.90, just 3.30 points ahead of junior Maxwell Weinrich.

Henninger bookended his 3-meter program with 81-point scores as his final dive, a forward 3 ½ somersaults pike, earned an 8.5 and 9.0 from the judges.

Sophomore Lily Witte highlighted the women's day on the boards, winning on 3-meter (345.00) and placing second on 1-meter (306.23).

The meet finished with the 400-yard freestyle relay, where the men set a season-best time and pool record in 2:47.87. The quartet of seniors Rafael Miroslaw, Luke Barr, Tomer Frankel and junior Matt King posted the No. 5 time in the country with their effort.
