 ATLANTA – Indiana women’s swimming and diving is one of two programs with multiple athletes set to compete in Friday (March 18) night’s 3-meter dive championship final at the NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships inside McAuley Aquatic Center.

In total, IU qualified four finalists during the Friday preliminary session: two swimmers and two divers. Indiana will also compete in the 400 Medley Relay during the day three evening session, entering with a 3:32.83 seed time.

In the 3M prelim, senior Kristen Hayden finished second with a 381.45 and all six dives scoring north of 55. Hayden executed four dives for better than 60 points to secure her first-career A final in the event and third-career All-America performance. In all, Hayden has been an All-American six times.

Sophomore Tarrin Gilliland is now 5-for-5 earning final bids at the NCAA Championships after her sixth-place finish in Friday’s prelim. It’s her third-career first team All-America performance and second during the 2022 meet.

The sister duo of senior Noelle Peplowski and freshman Anna Peplowski earned spots in the 100 Breaststroke and 200 Freestyle, respectively. Each athlete grabbed their second honorable mention All-America nods of the week, and the elder Peplowski picked up her fifth-career All-America honor as well as a season-best time in the 100 breast by finishing in 59.27.
