Indiana Athletics – Updates from the 2024 Paris Olympics
August 2, 2024
Anna Peplowski is an Olympic medalist. The Indiana senior will receive a silver medal for her contribution to Team USA’s 4×200-meter freestyle relay, swimming the preliminary Thursday morning. Although Peplowski swam the second-fastest time of the Americans in prelims, the U.S. subbed in three athletes — including now 13-time medalist Katie Ledecky — for the final swim. The medal comes as IU’s second of the 2024 Paris Games, as Blake Pieroni also earned a silver medal in the men’s 4×200-meter relay.
In her final individual Olympic swim, Lilly King placed eighth in the 200-meter breaststroke. The three-time Olympian is expected to swim the women’s 4×100-meter medley relay later this week as Team USA’s top swimmer in the 100-meter breaststroke. Indiana Swim Club training partner Kotryna Teterevkova earned a career-best finish on the world stage, placing fifth with a time of 2:23.75.
