BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Three members of the Indiana swimming and diving program collected Big Ten weekly awards, announced by the conference office on Wednesday (Jan. 28) after both the men's and women's teams defeated Purdue Saturday.
IU swept the Big Ten Freshman of the Week awards between Liberty Clark and Noah Cakir. Clark's honor is her sixth freshman of the week this season and seventh weekly award. Cakir earned the rookie of the week title for the third time this season, first since winning in consecutive cycles in October.
Additionally, Ella Roselli earned the Big Ten Diver of the Week honor for a third time this season.
Clark and Cakir excelled despite swimming outside of their normal programs. Sweeping her individual events, Clark became the program's No. 3 performer in the 100-yard butterfly (51.26), No. 7 performer in the 200-yard IM (1:55.86) and No. 12 performer in the 100-yard backstroke (52.40). Clark also posted the fastest 50 free relay split in program history, going 20.79 to anchor IU's 200-yard medley relay victory.
Cakir took on the distance freestyle events and swept them. The freshman posted an 8:54.58 in the 1,000-yard freestyle, good for No. 4 in program history. He then led a 1-2-3-4 finish in the 500-yard freestyle with a personal best time of 4:19.73. Cakir also turned in a personal best in the 200-yard butterfly, placing second by 62 hundredths with a 1:44.55.
Roselli placed top two in both diving events. She won the 1-meter springboard by 10.73 points with a score of 311.78. The junior earned her NCAA Zone Qualifying mark with a second-place performance on the platform, scoring 302.55 – .40 points off her personal best.
