BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Twenty-eight Indiana swimming and diving student-athletes have qualified for the 2024 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships.
The program will send 13 athletes to the 2024 NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships, March 20-23 in Athens, Georgia. Fifteen Hoosier men will compete at the NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships one week later inside the IU Natatorium in Indianapolis. Tickets are available here. Fans can also watch both meets on the ESPN+ digital platform.
Both teams come into the national meet as Big Ten Champions, securing the program’s second-ever conference double. IU is one of only two Big Ten programs to win both the men’s and women’s title in the same season. For the men, it was their third consecutive title and sixth in eight years. The women won their championship an exciting finish, outscoring Ohio State by one half of a point via the final relay.
Last season, the Indiana men finished fourth nationally – their fourth top-five finish in five seasons. In the last five years, only four men’s team have consistently finished top six nationally: Cal, Texas, Florida and Indiana. The women blew away expectations and tied their program-record finish, placing seventh in the team standings.
Two of Indiana’s three 2023 NCAA Champions will return for this year’s meet. Fifth-year senior Brendan Burns won the 200-yard butterfly in 2022 and the 100-yard backstroke one year ago and will race both again – as well as the 200-yard backstroke. Junior diver Carson Tyler is the defending platform diving champion and repeated as Big Ten Champion at the conference meet. The women had a pair of national runners-up a year ago, as Anne Fowler took second on the 1-meter springboard, joined by Ching Hwee Gan in the 1,650-yard freestyle.
Indiana’s NCAA rosters feature two Hoosiers that have already qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Junior Mariah Denigan will represent Team USA in open water events after her sixth-place finish in the 10K event at the 2024 World Aquatics Championships. Dutchman Kai van Westering posted Olympic Qualifying Times in the 200-meter backstroke at the same World Championships.
