HOOSIERS SET BIG TEN, NATION-LEADING TIMES
Five Hoosier men set the set the conference's best times of the season in the fall. Junior Dylan Smiley owns the best time in the 100-yard freestyle (41.59), and sophomore Miroslav Knedla's 1:39.69 in the 200 backstroke has set the early standard. Senior Owen McDonald leads the Big Ten in three events: the 100 back (44.13), 100 fly (44.68) and 200 IM (1:40.90), and classmate Zalán Sárkány currently holds the nation's best times in the 500 free (4:09.57) and 1,650 free (14:23.85).
On the women's side, freshman Liberty Clark's program record 46.83 100 freestyle leads the Big Ten. Junior Miranda Grana has the conference's best 200 butterfly time with a 49.98.
INDIANA MEN TOP MIDSEASON TABLE, LADIES TAKE SECOND
Indiana swimming and diving broke four program records and won 19 of 42 events at its midseason meet, the Ohio State Invitational, from Nov. 18-21.
Three Hoosiers earned Big Ten weekly awards for their performances in Columbus.
Junior Miranda Grana earned her third Big Ten Swimmer of the Week award after winning three events at the Ohio State Invitational, including all three of her individual events as well as a sweep of the backstroke events. Grana swam a program record 49.98 in the 100-yard butterfly and a 49.89 in the 100-yard backstroke to become the fifth woman to go sub-50 seconds in both events, joining Olympians Claire Curzan, Maggie MacNeil, Regan Smith and Gretchen Walsh. Her times in the 100 back, 100 fly and 200 back (1:49.06) all rank No. 3 nationally this season.
Senior Zalán Sárkány won the Big Ten Men's Swimmer of the Week honor after setting the nation's fastest times in the 500-yard freestyle (4:09.57) and 1,650-yard freestyle (14:23.85). Sárkány narrowly missed program record in those events but achieved the school standard in the 400-yard IM (3:39.73), finally beating the 11-year old record after tying it last season in a third-place finish.
Liberty Clark, earning her fourth Big Ten Freshman of the Week honor, won five events at her first midseason meet. In the 50-yard freestyle, Clark set a program record (21.54) in a second-place performance as well as IU's best-ever relay leadoff (21.61). In the 100-yard freestyle, the freshman broke the program record twice with an individual-event winning 46.87 before trimming it to a 46.83 in a relay leadoff. Her 200-yard freestyle performance earned "Arena Swim of the Week" honors from SwimSwam.com, as Clark's 1:41.27 made her the 16th-fastest woman all-time and No. 6 American in the 17-18 age group.
