INDIANA BEATS KENTUCKY IN OPENING MEET

Indiana swimming and diving pulled off an emphatic win over Kentucky in its season-opening meet on October 4 inside the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center. The two programs raced long course meters, and IU won all but two events after a strong summer in the 50-meter pool. Nine Hoosiers won multiple events, and Indiana swept the diving competitions.

LIU NAMED BIG TEN DIVER OF THE WEEK (OCT. 11)

Junior Skyler Liu swept the springboard events in Indiana swimming and diving’s emphatic win over Kentucky and was named the Big Ten Diver of the Week for the first time in her career. Liu, an All-American on 3-meter and platform last year in her first season as a collegiate diver, recorded NCAA Zone Qualifying scores in both the 1-meter and 3-meter competitions during IU’s season-opening meet. The Hoosier women beat the Wildcats by a score of 218-82, in part thanks to Liu’s dominance on the boards.

Liu started the meet by winning the 1-meter event with a score of 301.88 after executing four dives worth at least 50 points to lead a 1-2-3 finish for the Hoosiers. In the 3-meter event, Liu showed composure to hold off Kentucky’s Abby Devereaux by 6.45 points with a winning total 303.30 points.
