ATLANTA – Indiana swimming and diving remains in seventh place after reaching the podium twice on Friday (March 20), day three of the 2026 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships inside the McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta.

Freshman Liberty Clark kicked off the night with a sixth-place finish in the 50-yard freestyle, bettering her program and 17-18 National Age Group record with a 21.25.

Clark closed Indiana's 400-yard medley relay with the fastest anchor split in the field, a 45.67. That split ranks tied for 11th all-time. IU finished seventh with a program record 3:25.17 – Ninety-eight hundredths better than its seed time. Junior Miranda Grana kickstarted the relay with a 50.20, followed by sophomore Jonette Laegreid's 59.62. Freshman Alex Shackell contributed the third-quickest fly split in 49.68 before giving way to Clark.

Indiana has set program records in three of its four relays.

"Congratulations to Liberty Clark on a new program and 17-18 National Age Group record," IU head swimming coach Ray Looze said. "Great way to finish the night with a seventh place finishing the 400 medley relay and a new program record! Big day tomorrow for the Hoosiers. Love this team and can't wait to watch them tomorrow morning."
